Chapter 15 The Hunting Pack

With Shangguan Lie giving way, Lin Qingluan was naturally the first to run to the foot of the mountain.

In her previous life, she would have laughed with her arms akimbo and revealed her identity as the direct daughter of the general family, but she would no longer be like that.

She only raised a bright smile and looked at Shangguan Lie who was riding on horseback: "The Emperor lost."

"Well, Luan'er is the most powerful." Shangguan Lie looked at her smiling like this. A hint of emotion flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He also smiled and raised his hand to pull Lin Qingluan, "Luan

Son, come."

"Your Majesty." Lin Qingluan couldn't refuse anymore. Just as he was about to use his strength to jump onto the back of Shangguan Lie's horse, he suddenly heard a howl.

She paused and looked back in disbelief, only to see a pair of wolf eyes staring right here.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Lin Qingluan drew out her special small bow with her backhand, drew the bow and shot the arrow without hesitation, but because she had not practiced for too long, the bow and arrow naturally missed the target.

She was heartbroken, but then Shangguan Lie's arrow arrived and went straight into the alpha wolf's eyes!

"...I still want to protect the emperor..." Lin Qingluan murmured, looking back at Shangguan Lie with some embarrassment, "I am really..."

"I understand Luan'er's thoughts." Shangguan Lie touched her face gently, then returned his hand to hold the bow and fired another arrow.

Wolves are animals that live in groups. If there is one, there will be many. Fortunately, the guards have rushed over and blocked Shangguan Lie. However, Shangguan Lie was in the midst of his passion at the moment, so he did his best to squeeze in among the guards.

Arrows were shot towards the wolves.

So when Lin Qingluan settled in the rear, she found that she was inexplicably squeezed together with Zhou Chumu.

Lin Qingluan:?

Zhou Chumu:?

Zhou Chumu: "Why is your Majesty looking at me like this?"

Lin Qingluan looked at him again hesitantly: "Master Zhou...won't you step forward to hunt the beast?"

Or at least to protect the emperor, right? Let the emperor shoot arrows outside while he hides here and be the one being protected?

Would a normal minister do this?

"Oh, that's it." Zhou Chumu said slowly, "I am not in good health and cannot draw my bow."

Lin Qingluan:?

"It's hard to even ride a horse." Zhou Chumu continued.

Lin Qingluan:??

Her eyes ranged from confusion to suspicion to "What nonsense are you talking about?" She looked much more lively and cuter than when she just smiled at the emperor.

Zhou Chumu almost laughed out loud. He moved closer to Lin Qingluan and whispered: "I am only in good health that time, and not the rest of the time."

Lin Qingluan:......

Lin Qingluan:????

No, the sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly, there is a large crowd, the sound of wolves is howling, arrows are being fired, and the emperor is sweating while drawing his bow. You, a minister, are teasing his noble concubine here?

Seeing Lin Qingluan's beautiful phoenix eyes that were almost round, Zhou Chumu finally couldn't help but laugh.

Fortunately, he knew how to lower his voice, and only laughed a few times before holding back. However, he was coughed again. He turned his back, and after taking a breath, he looked at Lin Qingluan funny again, and then suddenly faced her

He blinked his eyes, then took a few steps forward on his horse to put some distance between himself and Lin Qingluan.

"Your Majesty!" Shangguan Lie's voice sounded. Lin Qingluan came back to her senses and rode to his side.

There were at least a dozen wolf carcasses opposite, and Shangguan Lie also laughed out loud: "It's a great day! Your concubine has chosen a good place. I haven't been this happy for a long time!"

"Your Majesty is so awesome!" Lin Qingluan smiled with her eyes bent again, "I just watched your Majesty bend his bow, and the arrows were all in vain!"

"Hahahaha!" Shangguan Lie was in high spirits, pointing his bowstring, "Go and collect those wolf carcasses, clean them later, and make a wolf fur cloak for the noble concubine!"

"My concubine, thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Qingluan's voice was full of surprise and admiration, and Shangguan Lie laughed again.

Zhou Chumu curled his lips silently in the crowd.

It was already lunch time after returning from hunting. Shangguan Lie felt so comfortable today that he simply didn't go back to the yard. He ate outside with everyone, and even asked people to prepare a banquet in the evening to celebrate the first day's hunting results.

Lin Qingluan couldn't eat together outside. She said goodbye to Shangguan Lie and returned to her yard. After eating, she rested for a while. Then she heard that the hunting team that went out in the morning had all returned, and the emperor would ask for more after the banquet.

Distribute rewards according to prey.

She said lazily "Hmm". She actually didn't want to go to any banquet, but she had no choice. Not only did she go, she also had to step in and be a supervisor.

After all, the palace concubine who followed her had the highest status, so she had to do some work.

After everything was settled, Lin Qingluan went back to wash up and change clothes, waiting for Shangguan Lie to come over, and then went to the banquet together.

Shangguan Lie was very interested. He was still chatting with Lin Qingluan about hunting wolves along the way. Lin Qingluan was really tired after a long day. At this moment, even when dealing with Shangguan Lie, he was a little careless and almost lost his temper.

It's time to reveal the secret, but luckily it's time for the banquet.

There are still many courtiers who can talk and flatter, but among the concubines, Beauty Wei looks cold and cold, but is very good at making the emperor happy, and beauty Wen, who is full of charm, can make Shangguan laugh with just one sentence.

Even Feng Jieyu, who was not very good at talking, was also working hard to flatter the emperor.

In contrast, the concubine sitting next to the emperor is indeed a little unsatisfied.

It's a pity that Lin Qingluan really can't hold back anything to praise Shangguan Lie.

Fortunately, there were enough people praising her, and Shangguan Lie didn't care. Lin Qingluan held the wine glass in boredom, her eyes wandering around the banquet unconsciously.

Then he saw Zhou Chumu.

The man stood in a candlelight, and he changed into a blue riding uniform, which made him look whiter. However, the clothes were narrow and the sleeves were narrowed at the waist, making him look a little weak.

But that face was really outstanding, with a light yellow halo. He just frowned and listened to the people around him with a smile on his lips. His beautiful peach blossom eyes were lightly drooped, seeming to show some indifference.

When he raised his eyes, he was a little more gentle and elegant. He smiled slightly, raised the wine glass with his slender hands, held it with his well-jointed fingers, touched it lightly, and drank it.

There are bandits and gentlemen who are like grinding and polishing.

For a moment, Lin Qingluan could only think of this sentence.

But soon, the other party seemed to notice the sight, and suddenly turned his head and looked over, meeting Lin Qingluan's gaze.

A hint of joking immediately flashed in his eyes, and he blinked at Lin Qingluan, just like he did during the day.

Lin Qingluan:......

He is not a gentleman, nor a hypocrite.

Because Lin Qingluan had no intention of fighting, after the banquet was over, it was Wen Meiren who helped Shangguan Lie back. She returned to her yard alone, and just after washing herself and lying on the bed, she heard a thunder outside.

On the first night of spring hunting, it actually rained.

In the past, the sound of rain could be used to help sleep, but now it can only remind Lin Qingluan of the scene before death in her previous life, and that dream...

She even couldn't help but get up and stand in front of the window to take a look. Is the clear rainwater flowing on the ground or the blood gushing out of her Lin family?

"Master..." An Lan was asleep and realized something was wrong. She quickly got up from the couch, walked to the window and put on Lin Qingluan's coat, "Master, can't you sleep?"

Lin Qingluan's long eyelashes trembled slightly, with a little moisture, not sure whether it was the rain or the condensation in her eyes.
