Chapter 562: Chang Rui and Yun Ting (1)
In the tenth year of Kaiyuan, the triplets of Prince Rong's Mansion were already twenty years old.
Only the Prince of Rong is engaged, while the Prince of Zhenguo is still single.
Princess Rong was not in a hurry at all and just let him go.
What worries Princess Rong the most is Princess Anping Shangguan Yajing. She is twenty years old and still hasn't settled down.
Princess Rong searched all the houses in the capital, but found no one that satisfied Princess Anping.
She also held several blind date parties, hoping that one of the boys would catch her daughter's eye.
In the end, the pressure was too great, and Princess Anping ran away from home with two guards, saying that she wanted to go out into the world to find a husband.
At the end of September, when the weather is clear and cool, it is the best time for hunting.
Every three years, the emperor would take royal relatives, court ministers, and sons from various families to hunt in the Yuntaishan area.
Cao Yunting, the granddaughter of Prince Jing, is already thirteen years old. She has inherited her mother's hobby of practicing martial arts.
He was an excellent swordsman at a young age.
Liu Yunshu feels particularly pleased every time he sees his daughter practicing sword.
Every time Cao Jinyu saw it, he could only shake his head helplessly.
Oh, I don’t know whose kid he will cause trouble in the future.
Back then, he seduced Liu Yunshu to marry him, and deceived her by saying that she would give birth to a daughter and marry into Prince Rong's Mansion.
However, the prince of Prince Rong's Mansion and the prince of Zhenguo Hou are seven years older than his daughter. The age gap is so huge that it is impossible for them to wait for his daughter to grow up.
So I never mentioned it.
The two younger ones below are only a few years old and are too young.
The two children he had later were both sons, so he could only think about marrying them off.
The emperor is still very young and his martial arts skills are not weak. He always goes out to hunt prey himself.
Now that there is no war, the only opportunity is to take the court officials out hunting to see if everyone has retreated.
Shangguan Ziqi was with the emperor as usual.
The younger generations were free to form groups, and the emperor also set up rewards. The group that hunted more prey would be scored based on size and difficulty.
However, apart from Princess Anping, the only woman in the capital who could dance with the stick was Cao Yunting from Prince Jing's Mansion.
Princess Anping had run away from home, leaving only Cao Yunting.
She also wanted to go hunting, but her mother would never agree if she went alone.
After much thought, I could only sneak out of the camp.
"Miss, it's too dangerous to act alone. There are many ferocious beasts in the mountains, including wolves, bears, and maybe even tigers." Cao Yunting's maid Zhiruo tried her best to dissuade her.
"What are you afraid of? We won't go too far. We'll just walk around the camp and hunt a few rabbits at most, but that's still prey. I've never hunted before in my life. And I'm not going alone. Don't you and Zhiluo come with us?" Cao Yunting is fearless.
Her two maids were both fifteen years old and were also skilled in the field. They were specially trained by her mother to be her maids and also her guards.
The last time she came to the hunting ground, she was only ten years old and it was impossible for her to go hunting. She could only follow her mother and chat with a group of ladies.
Now she is thirteen years old, how can she always be with her mother? She is like a child who has never grown up.
My mother is really something. She has been lazy in recent years. I heard from my father that she used to go hunting with him, but since she gave birth to my two younger brothers, I have never seen her wield a sword again.
"Then I will go and report this to the Crown Prince's wife." Zhiluo said as she turned to leave the tent.
"Stop! Are you stupid? If you tell your mother, will she agree? Let's go quietly." Cao Yunting stopped him immediately.
"But..." Zhiluo looked embarrassed.
"It's nothing to worry about. If we're afraid of danger, we can just follow the young masters and stay close to them. If we run into danger, we can just scream. Someone will come to rescue us. Besides, wherever they go, they've definitely killed all the big game. How could there be any for us?"
Cao Yunting didn't give the two maids a chance to persuade her. She went straight out of her parents' tent and went to find Liu Yunshu, saying that she wanted to go and play with her younger sisters.
Liu Yunshu did not suspect anything and instructed two maids to take good care of the young lady and not let her run around.
The three of them quietly took their horses and left the camp.
The mountain road was difficult to walk on, and the three of them did not walk fast.
The three of them followed the path the young men had taken and headed towards a mountain.
To reach that mountain, you have to pass through a valley first.
The three of them walked and stopped, and actually hunted a few fat rabbits.
"Miss, why do we only see rabbits and no other animals?" Zhiluo was very confused.
It shouldn't be like that.
“Stupid, the other animals were hunted by those men or scared away by them.
They don't even care about rabbits, so they give them to us."
In fact, Cao Yunting didn't like rabbits, but as they walked along, this was the only thing running around in front of the three girls.
"Miss, there is a stream in the valley below. Let's wash some fish and roast two to eat. It's almost noon now and we're hungry after walking all the way." Zhiruo suggested.
"Okay, let's go." Cao Yunting also felt hungry.
The three of them came to the stream and began to process the rabbits.
"Miss, didn't you say that we were following the young masters? Why didn't I see anyone? Where did they go?" Zhiluo was a little scared. She hadn't seen any man so far.
In fact, she was very insecure. She knew that if she encountered danger, the two maids would not be able to protect their master.
"The forest is so dense, can you see people through the trees?" Cao Yunting wondered why her maid was so stupid.
The three of them had a meal of roast rabbit and continued on their way.
They walked up the stream.
"Miss, look."
Suddenly, Zhiruo called out softly and pointed forward.
Cao Yunting looked in the direction she pointed and her eyes lit up.
"A big wild boar! And alone."
About ten feet away from them, an adult wild boar was drinking water by the stream.
Cao Yunting estimated the abilities of the three and felt that it would be no problem for the three of them to work together to kill one.
If the three women could hunt this wild boar and bring it back, they would surely receive praise from the Emperor. They might even be able to outperform some of the men.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.
Looking at the wild boar again, it is no longer a wild boar, but glory.
The three of them stopped and did not disturb the wild boar that was drinking water in the stream.
They observed it and found that it was indeed that end.
"Action." Cao Yunting gave the order.
The three of them drew their swords and rushed towards the wild boar, which was unaware of the danger coming.
Cao Yunting is very good at light work and rushes to the front.
A sword stabbed into the wild boar's butt.
The wild boar, which was drinking water, felt a pain in its buttocks and immediately raised its head, only to see someone attacking it.
Then he immediately ran away.
There was no way the three women would let it escape.
Attack the wild boar from three directions.
But this was an adult wild boar with extremely thick skin. Every time they stabbed it with their swords, they could only see a small cut, and sometimes there was not even any blood.
The wild boar was angry.
It exerted its greatest strength and charged towards them.
The force was so great.
Zhiruo was hit once and flew more than ten feet away.
The wild boar charged several times, but found that it couldn't succeed every time, and the injuries on its body were gradually increasing.
It began to howl.
It was this howl that made the three girls, who didn't know the habits of wild boars, think that it was about to die.
Less than half a quarter of an hour later, they heard the howling of many wild boars coming from not far away.
