"What's the meaning of that? Isn't it to put a person in a cage to kill those small animals in those cages?"

The hunting grounds were divided into two sides. There were truly fierce beasts that were captured alive on the man's side, but on the woman's side, there were at most some small deer and wild chickens. Before that, almost all the fierce beasts were driven away.

They were both esteemed lords, and if anything were to go wrong with them, it would be hard to say for sure.

"This riding outfit is really beautiful. If Princess Wangfei had worn it, she would have definitely been able to beat those people down."

Bai Zhiling followed her line of sight and saw a red riding suit in the full moon's hand. It was made by a famous craftsman. Bai Zhiling herself felt that this outfit was rare even when she knew nothing about embroidery.

"Where did you get this?"

"It was sent by the side concubine. She said that this year's Autumn Hunt's Princess will definitely shine."

"How could Bai Tinglan be so kind?"

Bai Zhiling reached out to take the clothes and looked them up and down, but she didn't find anything wrong with them.

Come to think of it, if Bai Tinglan was really that stupid, to mess with something so obvious, then she wouldn't have to continue staying in the Cloud King's Manor.

"Whatever, there's no point staying in the mansion. Let's go take a look."

In any case, she had already finished preparing her things, so she might be able to find an opportunity to leave the Cloud King's Manor during the Autumn Hunt.

He planned to go, but which team he wanted to join became a problem.

After so many years of management by Madam Huang and her daughter, Bai Zhiling's reputation had made the noble ladies in the capital unwilling to interact with her.

As a result, the other side had already split up. Bai Zhiling was still alone.

However, the final division had to be confirmed at the hunting grounds, and the Queen would make the final coordination.

On the day of the Autumn Hunt, Bai Zhiling had changed into the fiery red riding suit that Bai Tinglan had given her.

She wasn't a weak person to begin with. Especially her pair of heroic eyebrows coupled with her clear eyes. The fiery red riding attire on her body seemed to be custom-made for her.

The fiery red color made her skin as white as jade, but she was also brimming with vitality. Just a single glance was enough to cause others to be unable to move their eyes away.

When Bai Tinglan saw the beautiful and breathtaking Bai Zhiling standing in front of her, she felt a little unwilling. However, after thinking about her own plan, she forcefully suppressed it.

"Elder sister is so beautiful."

Today, Bai Tinglan wore a moon-white riding suit. The moon-white made her look delicate and weak. However, she didn't wear any clothes. Her valiant aura didn't seem like that of a hunter, but rather that of a spectator.

Baili Xing, who was wearing a tight suit, rode his horse over. The moment his gaze landed on Bai Zhiling, he was slightly stunned as a hint of amazement flashed across his eyes.

It was the first time he saw Bai Zhiling act like this.

"Your Highness, are we leaving?" Bai Tinglan gritted her teeth in hatred when she saw the way Baili Xing looked at Bai Zhiling.

Baili Xing turned around and nodded.

"Yes."

Whether it was when they went to the Autumn Hunt or when they returned, almost all of them would ride their horses out of the city. This showed to the people that the high-ranking nobles of Little Zhou Country were not bone riders who only knew how to ride carriages.

However, even if they were riding horses, Bai Zhiling and the others would still wear their hats. There were too many people on the streets, so there was no need to be the center of attention.

Everyone had to wait for the arrival of the Emperor Baili Yao and Empress. Bai Zhiling and the rest were completely surrounded before they even reached the city gate.

Everyone rode a horse out, and the streets weren't that wide. There were also many onlookers, so it would be strange if they didn't block it.

"Pah!"

"Ah!

"Lowly citizen!" How dare you block my way, you don't know your place! "

In the barricaded room, Bai Zhiling turned around and saw Hu Xiuling, who wore a dark blue riding suit and brandished a snakeskin whip.

The whip landed heavily on the civilian who was standing by the side. The civilian's back was instantly lacerated.

Bai Zhiling frowned. Hu Xiuling still dared to do this even on such a day. This showed how arrogant she was.

Just as she was about to swing the whip again, a hand swept across and cut off her whip.

Hu Xiuling's brows creased as she raised her eyes to look at that person. "Hee Qiqi, how dare you stop my whip!"

The one holding Hu Xiuling's whip was a woman wearing a light purple riding suit. Since her back was facing Bai Zhiling, she didn't see Hu Xiuling's face clearly.

"Hu Xiuling, you hurt the commoners for no reason. Even the empress wouldn't care if she saw you, right?" Hee Qiqi was obviously not afraid of Hu Xiuling. Even though Hu Xiuling had a noble background, it did not mean that there was no one in the capital that could match her.

"I told you to mind your own business!" Speaking of the Queen, Hu Xiuling was still a little afraid. She glared fiercely at Hee Qiqi, put away her whip, and rode forward.

The citizens were quickly cleared up by the Praetorian Guard, and Bai Zhiling rode her horse to the city gate.

A quarter of an hour later, Baili Yao's team also arrived.

"Get out of the city!"

Praetorian Guard opened the city gate, and the vast army finally left the city gate.

Bai Zhiling had gone to the Wang Mansion to pick out her horse from the stables, but it was much inferior to the horse that the previous person had lent to her.

In her boredom, when she looked up, she saw Baili Moxun behind Baili Yao. He was also wearing a mysterious rider's uniform today. Just her straight back was enough to make people daydream about him.

While Bai Zhiling was in a daze, Baili Moxun suddenly turned her head. Their gazes collided with Bai Zhiling's, and they immediately turned away guiltily.

To be able to be seen through with just a glance, how embarrassing!

The Autumn Hunt's grounds were in a primitive forest that was ten li away from the capital. Although this place had been artificially reconstructed, most of it still retained its original appearance as a primitive forest. One simply couldn't see the end of the forest at a glance.

In the autumn hunting grounds, men and women were separated.

The empress brought her group of women to the woods where they were supposed to go.

"Did you guys split up your team?" Although the empress was dressed in riding attire, she, as the mother of a nation, still looked dignified and luxurious.

"After we go back to the mother, everything is settled." She was the empress's only daughter, the eighth princess of Little Zhou Country, Baili Zhen.

Looking at her beloved daughter, the empress's expression softened a bit.

One of the female officials took out the split sign and looked at it. After checking out the title for the Autumn Hunt, she slightly frowned her long and thin eyebrows.

Baili Zhen had said that the division would be better, but of course, the other groups had also been split up. However, there were still a few people left standing.

The queen looked at the name of the sheet and sighed.

"Qiqi, it just so happens that your group still lacks one person. Just let Princess Yun join your group."

As soon as the Empress finished speaking, Baili Zhen took the lead to laugh.

Everyone knew why Bai Zhiling was alone.

The Empress gave him a light look before Baili Zhen stopped laughing.

"Yes, Empress." The woman who was called Qiqi stepped forward and answered.
