Chapter 26 All sold is meat

Under the purple bamboo forest, Chu Ruoxi danced with her sword and blended with the bamboo leaves all over the sky.

Qiao Alin nodded secretly. The young lady was talented and intelligent, especially understanding of martial arts, as if she would have done those in the first place.

"Miss, the master sent someone to ask the lady to take the order in the front hall." Zhimo trotted all the way and found Chu Ruoxi with relief.

"Reve the decree?" Chu Ruoxi frowned slightly, because his mother Liang's brother satirized Chu Yuanshan at Jinshui Bridge and ordered someone to send a cart of good cherries to Liang. Chu Yuanshan was depressed. Did the emperor order to appease this somewhat pretentious Duke of Dingguo and give him again?

The emperor's imperial edict was not given to Chu Yuanshan, which surprised Chu Ruoxi. Her thirteenth birthday was approaching. The emperor ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to celebrate her in the palace and awarded her the title of "Lord of Zhongshan County".

Generally, only royal princesses can have this vanity. Chu Ruoxi is not a princess, which shows that the status of the Chu family in the eyes of Emperor Yongle is indeed extraordinary.

When Chu Ruoxi was 13 years old, she was the age of cardamom. The queen invited many daughters of the capital Houfu and the children of the same family to the palace to make a big banquet just for the fun.

The prince proposed to go hunting in Shanglin Garden. Both men and women can participate. For the worst harvest, they can get a night pearl from the East China Sea.

Chu Ruoxi accompanied the prince with a smile, "Your Highness is heroic, and his arrows are like a god. He must be the champion of this siege. Ruoxi is waiting for His Highness to compare all their groups of them."

Everyone felt comfortable when they were flattered, and the prince was in a good spirit, "Okay, I will give you the night pearl to win the championship."

Chu Ruoxi smiled and said, "Then you're welcome. Put away Ye Mingzhu first."

Her words made everyone laugh. Chu Yunxi saw that the prince was happy and said, "Your Highness is so kind to my sister. Yunxi is so envious."

"Yunxi, do you envy Your Highness's night pearl, or do you envy your Highness's thought of fighting for the night pearl for me?" Chu Ruoxi deliberately said, "It's a pity that Ye Mingzhu only has one, which is the prince's heart. Otherwise, my sister will definitely ask Your Highness to find it and give it to my sister."

The prince's face darkened, and the women present looked even more embarrassed. In Chu Ruoxi's words, there were a lot of princes who were her. Others could not peep at them, and even their sister did not save face.

"I don't dare to be jealous of my sister's things. Yunxi, please be more careful." Chu Yunxi was even more embarrassed. He squeezed out a smile and said to the prince, "Your Highness, Yunxi is with her sister and looks forward to your triumphant return."

"Your Highness, if you are here again, your prey will be surrounded and killed by us, hehe."

Ke Weidong, the son of the general, laughed and patted his horse into Shanglinyuan. The prince said, "Okay, let's see who won the first place."

Although the prince has the first to say that both men and women can participate in the hunting competition, there are still few women who really play.

Each little lady used to be spoiled in the past. How could she bear the bumps on horseback? Most of them stayed under the camp to taste tea and chat.

Chu Ruoxi secretly looked at these flowers and plants. They were all dressed up today, mostly in order to fly to the branches to be phoenixes.

There was a woman who was relatively unique. She was dressed in a uniform and followed the children of those families. She bent her bow and took an arrow into Shanglinyuan.

She has young Fu's youngest daughter Qin Yulian, which made Chu Ruoxi feel slightly surprised.

The sound of horns, the sound of horses' hoofs kept making noise, and there was an excited noise from time to time in the forest, causing the little women here to look forward to it and secretly guess who shot the prey.

Chu Ruoxi didn't finish drinking a cup of tea, and a waiter ran out with a whip, "Doctor, come on, come on."

The servant dragged the accompanying imperial doctor away, but saw the group in the forest running out and turned out to be the prince.

Chu Ruoxi stood up suddenly. The prince got a lot of blood on his white robe. He held a man in his arms and jumped down before he could stop.

"Doctor, help her take a look." He hugged Qin Yulian in his arms.

"Your Highness, what happened?" Chu Ruoxi came forward with anxiety in her eyes.

The prince didn't hear it, just staring at the imperial doctor, "Save her, otherwise, I want your head to fall to the ground."

Everyone present took a deep breath. What on earth happened? The prince was so nervous. Is there an assassin?

The imperial doctor helped Qin Yulian check her pulse to ensure that she had no worries about her life. The prince put her down, and his eyes were a little helpless, "Go back to the palace!"

This hunt was originally to cheer for Chu Ruoxi's birthday, but in the end, it made Qin Yulian come out in the limelight, which was very surprising.

The wild boar shot by the prince suddenly jumped from the ground and went crazy, and Qin Yulian on one side stood in front of the prince regardless of her life and made a great contribution.

After returning to the palace, the prince asked the emperor to stand in the unconscious Qin Yulian as the fourth grade Liangyuan and stay in the prince's Longxiang Hall.

Although Qin Yulian made great achievements, the prince put her in the palace on Chu Ruoxi's birthday, which was tantamount to giving Chu Ruoxi a loud slap in the face.

Chu Ruoxi knew that the wild boar suddenly made trouble and must be strange. However, the prince's recklessness was just to help Chu Ruoxi create more good opportunities.

"Exer way, I want to see His Royal Highness."

The eunuch stopped Chu Ruoxi in front of Longxiang Hall, "Your Highness ordered that you don't see outsiders. Please come back."

"Shut up, am I an outsider?" Chu Ruoxi took this opportunity to make a big fuss about the matter, "Then why can Qin Yulian enter and exit the Longxiang Hall of His Highness?"

The eunuch advised, "The little lady doesn't know that Qin Liangyuan is the crown prince Liangyuan. Qin Liangyuan... Of course, she rests in the Longxiang Hall."

"Dog slave, the former emperor had the will. I am a dignified crown princess. His Royal Highness was shocked by the hunting. I don't know if he was hurt. Can't I visit His Royal Highness?"

The eunuch said, "I deserve to die", but he didn't give up.

"Alin!"

As soon as Chu Ruoxi finished speaking, the eunuch in front of her was thrown aside by Qiao Alin and kept howling.

"Which bastard came to my Longxiang Hall to be wild, but he couldn't do it." Qiao Alin was about to clash with the guards when the prince came out of Longxiang Hall.

"See His Royal Highness."

"Your Highness." Chu Ruoxi's face was full of concern, "Ruoxi is very worried about Your Highness. These damn dog slaves actually stopped Ruoxi from going in to visit. Your Highness has to make the decision for me."

The prince did not say anything about Chu Ruoxi's concern. He always felt that the women of the Chu family were unruly and domineering, not as knowledgeable and polite as other official women, modest and gentle.

"I'm fine. Today, the hunters are a little tired and can't accompany you. Let the waiter take you home first."

The prince came out and sent her back directly. Of course, Chu Ruoxi refused, "Your Highness, today is my birthday. My aunt promised to let you accompany me. How can you lose your promise?"

The prince's eyebrows bulged slightly and his eyes became colder and colder, "Sister Ruoxi, I'm tired. I'll be with you next time."

"Also, this is the palace. No one can be presumptuous here. You have to teach your slave rules well, and don't blame me for being ruthless next time."

The prince looked at the eunuch curled up on the ground, hummed, and turned around to go back to Longxiang Hall.

"Your Highness, is this what you did to your future princess?" Chu Ruoxi's tone is also not good.

The prince slowed down and was about to attack. The little eunuch in Longxiang's hall ran quickly, "Your Highness, Qin Liangyuan woke up and said to see Your Highness."

"Liangyuan woke up, that's great." The prince turned around and left, leaving Chu Ruoxi.

"Yang Zheng, stop." Chu Ruoxi grabbed the prince's sleeve and said, "Let me know."

"Presumptuous." The prince was furious when Chu Ruoxi called him, "Chu Ruoxi, you are so bold."

He suddenly wanted to get rid of her, but he didn't know that she had been practicing hard these days and had no trace of venting his brute force.

The prince couldn't shake it off. He was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to slap her in the face.

but found that his hand could not be hit. A stronger palm clasped his wrist, and his man was half fixed and could not move.

"B bastard, even I dare to do it." Firmly stopped by Qiao Alin, the prince was furious, "You are all stupid. Why don't you take down this rebellious thing for me?"

The bodyguard was drunk by the prince and realized that he was about to come forward. Qiao Alin said coldly, "Who dares to come up?"

With the force on his hand, his face was blue, but the prince only hummed gently, clenched his teeth and endured. In the end, he was not too ugly and stared at Chu Ruoxi with anger.

The guard was worried about hurting the prince and did not dare to go forward.

Chu Ruoxi was quite looking forward to the prince's slap in the face. He closed his eyes and opened it again, and the situation became like this.

"Alin, let go of Your Highness."

Qiao Alin loosened the prince and retreated behind Chu Ruoxi.

The prince looked at his red and swollen wrist and was furious. He pulled out the bodyguard's knife and was about to kill Chu Ruoxi. "I will kill you."

"Ah!"

Chu Ruoxi exclaimed in pain, her arms were red, and blood oozed out and dyed half of her sleeves red.

The prince was stunned. He didn't expect Qiao Alin's martial arts skills to be so high, let alone that he was going to kill Chu Ruoxi, but Chu Ruoxi stood up and blocked Qiao Alin's machete that was about to cut on him.

"You...you..."

The prince didn't know what to say for a moment.

Qiao Alin helped Chu Ruoxi, "Miss, how can you help him block the knife? He wants to kill you."

"Let go...bethly." Chu Ruoxi's face turned white with pain and glared at Qiao Alin, "Your Highness is my cousin and my future husband. How can you hurt him with a knife?"

After saying that, he looked at the prince with a concerned but aggrieved face and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness... are you all right?"

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and the prince's lips moved to understand, "It's okay."

"The Queen is here." The eunuch sang in a high voice, breaking the strange atmosphere.

The matter of Longxiang Hall shocked the queen. She hurried over and exclaimed, "Ruoxi! How could this happen?"

"Queen Mother." Seeing Chu Ruoxi blocking the knife for himself, the prince scolded Qiao Alin and felt a little guilty, "Ruoxi is injured."

"Ruoxi saw... met the queen." Chu Ruoxi knelt down to the queen and was stopped by the queen.

"You are all dead. Why don't you pass on to the imperial doctor?" The queen scolded the slaves. You can't even protect your master. What's the use of you?"
