Chapter 263 Autumn Hunting
On the other side, Qin Yuping and others who were recruited by the prince were asking Bei Qin for advice.
"Mr. Zhan, should we hold back on hunting this time?"
"If the prey I hunt passes by His Royal Highness, will His Royal Highness be unhappy?"
"The guards of the East Palace are certainly brave, but Your Highness is only a young girl after all, so it is not unusual for her to be unskilled in riding."
Bei Qin wanted to tell the truth, but when the words came to his lips, he stopped and a sly smile appeared on his face.
Anyone who is familiar with him would know that nothing the young and promising marquis said at this moment was true.
But the ignorant youngsters didn't know what was going on and thought he was serious when he answered, "You've thought it through."
"Your Highness has a broad mind, but he must feel bad to be surpassed by you one by one."
"Let's give her some leeway and give her some cushion."
The group of people reached a consensus, except for a certain young marquis who tried hard to hold back his laughter.
The guards of the Eastern Palace also prepared their riding gear and bows and arrows.
A guard asked his companion beside him: "We won't fail miserably in this autumn hunt, right?"
"Although His Highness is very capable, he is only outstanding in civil affairs. I have never heard of his martial arts being outstanding."
"She's just a little girl after all. She's definitely not good at hunting."
The guard he was talking to looked around and said in a low voice, "You are asking for your life. How dare you talk about the prince?"
"Let's talk about this between the two of us without letting anyone else hear us."
The man retorted: "We may not lose. All the prey we shoot will be counted as the prince's."
"Even if Your Highness does nothing, as long as he doesn't hold us back, the result won't be too bad. Don't worry."
The guard said worriedly, "That's not necessarily true."
"What if Your Highness is a pampered person and needs to rest after riding for a while?"
"My wife is like this. Every time we go out for an outing, she either complains about mosquito bites or the sun."
"She would be tired even from riding in a carriage."
"When we go out to play, we just hide in the tent and lie down."
"The Crown Princess is also a girl, and she probably can't stand the wind and sun. We must be prepared to return empty-handed."
The hunt began, and Bei Jingchu and the Eastern Palace guards were ready to go.
He also took the greyhound that Princess Xianning had given him and the falcon that Tunning had presented as a tribute.
As the drums sounded, the emperor shot an arrow to signal the start of the hunt.
There was a crisp sound of whip, and a prince who was unaware that his strength was being doubted rushed out on his horse.
The guards behind were divided into several teams and led to chase.
When passing by, the dust that is splashed takes a while to settle down.
A herd of deer was seen not far away.
Bei Jingchu didn't think about it at this time, and let Lei Nian'er command: "Team one, team two, take the small road to encircle them."
"Team three, block the exit."
"The rest of you follow His Highness and drive them into the encirclement."
The prince himself was no lag either. He drew his bow and shot arrows, and never missed a single shot. Soon he had caught a bunch of prey.
She never advertised her riding skills, and not many people knew that she was good at it.
The little girl's stern look was very different from her usual look. The falcon circled in the sky and flew down with a whoosh.
Bei Jingchu raised her hand, and it rested steadily on her hand.
With a wave of its arms, it took off again, leading the hunting team to where it had found its prey.
The autumn breeze blows on my body, accompanied by the still strong sunshine, and the long-lost sense of freedom comes over me.
Bei Jingchu really enjoyed the feeling of running fast and following the falcon around hunting.
She had no idea that the guards who doubted her ability were almost collapsing from exhaustion.
