Chapter 194 - We Meet Again

Shangguan Linglan turned to Jing Yue and asked, with her hand playing with the weed, “What are you doing these days? I haven’t seen you for so long.”

“Hee-hee…I did something great!” Hearing Shangguan Linglan’s question, Jing Yue replied excitedly.

“Something great? What is it?” Shangguan Linglan looked at Jing Yue, with her eyes glittering, and asked.

“It’s not a good time to tell you. I will let you know it in September.” Jing Yue smiled mysteriously. No matter how hard Shangguan Linglan tempted Jing Yue, she didn’t leak any clue, which made Shangguan Linglan had no idea but quit in the end.

The hunting finally began as expected after everyone was recharged for one night. Standing in front of the hunting field, everyone was wearing a set of riding clothes, appearing to be professional and sophisticated. There were crossbows and swords equipping the horses beside them. The luncheon before the hunting game gathered all people together.

Tables and chairs were prepared well on the vast grassland. People found their own seats and sat down, including Jing Yue who sat beside Xiao Chen. Unfortunately, the person who was sitting opposite to her was Helian Xiu.

“Hello, gorgeous. We meet again.” Helian Xiu and Jing Yue looked at each other at a distance. When Helian Xiu smiled, the sexy mole under his one eye made all other people sitting here overshadowed. The man was so beautiful that girls would even feel shameful for their appearance.

“Ha-ha…” Jing Yue laughed embarrassedly and didn’t have any gut to reply. The reason was quite simple.

Didn’t you see the horrible face on the man sitting beside her?

Jing Yue almost wanted to shrink herself into a ball so that she would be ignored.

She didn’t do anything wrong, ok?!

Obviously, it was Helian Xiu rather than herself who started the conversation. Jing Yue lowered her head and sat there, feeling aggrieved. Xiao Chen stared at Helian Xiu’s beautiful face with a horrible expression, and then snorted disdainfully.

The emperor and empress arrived together, followed by the eldest princess and her husband—Xia Ruiming who Jing Yue had met before. Much to her surprise, Princess Ziling came as well and sat beside the eldest princess. If Princess Ziling came, so would Princess Leyang come along for sure.

It was great. Everyone was here.

Jing Yue looked around casually and found Shangguan Linglan who was sitting beside Shangguan Minhao. They smiled at each other when their eyes met. As she continued to look around, she found Jing Lang, another man that she didn’t expect to meet here.

The position where Jing Lang sat was a bit far away from the main block. Considering Jing Lang’s title as the general of the three armies, his seat should not be arranged like that. However, Jing Lang was now sitting there, which meant that he came on behalf of the prime minister rather than as the general.

Was Jing Zhan determined to meddle in the affairs of the prime minister family?

Jing Yue drew back her sight, and then began listening to the conversation among the emperor, Xiao Jingran—the second prince who was sitting diagonally opposite to Jing Yue, and Xiao Xiangcheng—the third prince. They were talking about the coming hunting.

“Based on the ritual, whoever can hunt the most preys will be awarded with this Overlord Crossbow!” Xiao Ye, the emperor looked very handsome and valiant in his soft armor, stood up and said with his finger pointing at the crossbow aside which looked quite majestic.

“Ha-ha-ha…Father, you have taken out the most precious crossbow. I bet you are willing to see our brothers struggling in the hunting without reservation.” Xiao Jingran looked serious and gazed at the Overlord Crossbow on the shelf.

“Brother, it seems that I also need to take efforts this time as you have taken out such a precious prize.” Xiao Chen said in a slight voice.
