Chapter 1800: A Reward of Small Dried Meat

"No problem, but His Highness the Crown Prince's hunting dog is also named Dahuang! The name is just as common as your dog's."

"What a coincidence?" Su Changjing's tone changed, dumbfounded. What had he just said? He was only being modest when he called it vulgar. He shouldn't have brought this dog out, but with so many people out hunting rabbits today, no one wanted to be left behind, so everyone brought their strongest and best hunting dogs.

Qiao Rong gave a cold laugh: "It's quite a coincidence."

Su Changjing slapped his mouth repeatedly, looking utterly remorseful. Then he squatted down beside Cheng Youning's chair, forcing a fawning smile, and said obsequiously, "Your Highness, I didn't know my dog ​​had offended your noble pet's name. I'll change its name when I get home, and I won't call it Dahuang anymore."

Cheng Youning had heard and seen countless flattering words. She seemed nonchalant as she said one, but she was actually bothered by it! "Why change the name? Is it because the name 'Dahuang' is too common?"

Upon hearing this, Su Changjing pretended to slap himself twice, but he didn't use much force. It was just for show for Cheng Youning. Even so, he was able to appease Cheng Youning because she wasn't angry. She was just blaming herself in her heart for being so casual when naming Da Huang.

Suddenly, cheers erupted from the crowd, and someone shouted, "Whose hunting dog is that? It's brought back a rabbit!"

It was a yellow figure. Cheng Youning was so excited that she stood up, but when it got closer, she pursed her lips and sat back down in her chair.

The blond hunting dog pounced on its master like an arrow. Su Changjing, his face contorted in pain, waved his hands frantically like an ant on a hot pan, cursing inwardly: "Get away! Don't come any closer! Are you trying to kill me?! Go away! I shouldn't have brought you out this morning! How could you have come back before the Crown Prince's big yellow dog? Don't you have any sense?! My reputation and bright future are ruined by you!"

How could Dahuang know what its master was thinking? When it got close to Su Changjing, it wagged its tail and looked at him with a cute, eager expression, trying to curry favor with its master. It was so endearing!

Feeling lost, Su Changjing's mind raced. Suddenly, an idea struck him. "Your Highness, how about we form a group? You can keep the rabbit you catch?" Su Changjing's tone was tentative and pleading, his eyes constantly observing Cheng Youning's expression.

Cheng Youning's lips twitched. Did this guy think he was jealous of his prey? How embarrassing! "If you're going to hunt, then hunt properly. Everyone relies on their skills, why play tricks?"

Qiao Rong stepped forward and separated the person and dog from Cheng Youning, who were in the way.

Just then, a white hunting dog with black spots came running up, carrying a rabbit in its mouth. Its agility was in no way inferior to Su Changjing's big yellow dog.

Hong Yuncong shouted, caught the rabbit, and held it high in the air, looking incredibly smug, while yelling, "My leopard came in second place!"

Then Hong Yuncong took out a small piece of jerky from his pocket and stuffed it into the mouth of the hunting dog. After the dog ate it with its tail wagging, Hong Yuncong gave a command, and the hunting dog named Leopard rushed out again.

Qiao Rong comforted Cheng Youning, whose eyes were fixed on the depths of the hunting grounds, "Returning first doesn't guarantee victory; it depends on the final total. Your Highness, are you thirsty? Have some water to moisten your throat!"

Cheng Youning wasn't thirsty, but to hide the disappointment in her eyes, she took the water bottle and drank it in small sips.

Suddenly, Cheng Youning pushed the kettle to Qiao Rong and stood up as well. He pointed into the distance and said to Qiao Rong, "Hey! Look, it's Da Huang back!"

Qiao Rong put on a smile and felt relieved. Fortunately, the hunting dog didn't make the Crown Prince lose too much face!

Dahuang placed the rabbit at Cheng Youning's feet and nudged it with its nose, as if to curry favor. The rabbit was still alive, but it was terrified and trembled, not daring to move an inch. It looked pitiful.

Cheng Youning patted Da Huang's head. "Not bad, you didn't keep this prince waiting too long." Da Huang wagged its tail and wagged its tail. Cheng Youning called out to Hong Yuncong, "Hong Yuncong, what treat did you give the hunting dog as a reward?"

"Little jerky, brother-in-law, you didn't prepare any?"

"I've never owned a dog before, so bring me some so I can treat Big Yellow to a good meal!"

Upon hearing this, Su Changjing immediately presented the food he had prepared for the dog. "Your Highness, I have some. This dried meat is made by my family's cook; it's absolutely delicious!"

Hong Yuncong stuffed a piece of jerky into his mouth and said, "Whose jerky isn't amazing? Brother-in-law, you should try mine!"

Cheng Youning took two pieces from Su Changjing's hand and fed them to Dahuang. Dahuang, pleased with the treat, wagged its tail even faster. After finishing the jerky, Cheng Youning released it back into the wild.

Before an incense stick could burn, the hunting dogs in the woods began to run out with their prey, each one a skilled rabbit hunter, none willing to be outdone. Some owners had three rabbits at their feet, some had two, and those with none hadn't even noticed yet.

After an hour had passed, Su Changjing secretly slipped a rabbit into Cheng Youning's pair of prey, so that the Crown Prince had five prey and he had four. Not only that, Su Changjing muttered, "The Crown Prince's rabbit ran away, I helped catch it!"

It's as if it's the truth. How could Cheng Youning not know how many rabbits her hunting dogs chased?

Cheng Youning rolled her eyes at Su Changjing and ordered, "This is unnecessary. Take it back!"

Qiao Rong was also staring intently at Su Changjing, who could only force a smile and explain how he delivered the rabbit to Cheng Youning's feet and how he took it back!

Cheng Youning cursed him inwardly for being stupid. Some people hunted eight rabbits, some hunted seven, and Su Changjing sent him only one. What good was that? Besides, if word got out about this little thing, the Crown Prince would have a reputation for being a fraud, and he would be laughed at! Cheng Youning was no fool!

The results of the competition were as follows: Hong Yuncong came in first place with his hunting dog catching eight rabbits; Song Qianyuan came in second with six rabbits and one pheasant; and Su Changjing came in third with five rabbits.

Cheng Youning tied for fourth place with three other people.

Cheng Youning was furious with Dahuang for being so useless, but she still had to smile, and smile with grace. "Several hunting dogs performed exceptionally well today. I have decided to reward the top three hunting dogs with a box of dried meat from the Imperial Kitchen!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Yuncong jumped out, looking disappointed and dissatisfied, "Brother-in-law, shouldn't the dog owner be rewarded? Why only the dog?"

Cheng Youning smiled, adopting a mature demeanor, "This hunt is all about the hunting dogs, it has little to do with the owners. The hunting dogs are the ones that catch the rabbits, so the rewards go to the hunting dogs!"
