Chapter 42:

Yingluo couldn't believe it, so she ran to the Qin family to ask why.
She was the princess, and Su Clan didn't dare to stop her and let her see Qin Xin. Qin Xin had lost a lot of weight and was haggard, like a delicate flower that had fallen prematurely.
Yingluo and Qin Xin are handkerchiefs, and have been close to sisters since childhood. In her memory, Qin Xin has always been elegant and talkative. Yingluo has never seen Qin Xin look so embarrassed, but she has never seen Qin Xin look so embarrassed. He didn't say that Qin Jiu said no, only that he was wrong and shouldn't be blocking his sister's way.
Thinking about Shenghua Pavilion again, there is nothing Ying Luo understands.
Everything is because of Qin Jiu!
Qin Jiao smiled slightly and looked at each other innocently, "I wonder what the princess said?"
"Dare to be or not?" Yingluo took another step forward with a sneer, aggressively scolding, "Sister Xin is such a good person, you can do it!"
"Princess," Qin Ju stared at Yingluo's angry eyes, and said with a serious face, "You should go to the doctor and look at your eyes."
Wreaths:"?"
Qin Jiu smiled, without wanting to say anything, turned around and left.
Yingluo was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, becoming more angry.
This Qin Jiu dare to say that he is blind? !
"The princess," several ladies hurriedly stopped her, and persuaded her in a good voice, "The queen empress likes Qin Jiao, you still don't fight with her."
"Let the queen mother know, maybe I will scold you."
"Yes, I heard that even the empress dowager praised her."
Several noble ladies persuade you in a word. Qin Xin's lesson is in sight, why should Yingluo ask for trouble!
Yingluo looked at Qin Jiu who walked ahead and sat down in the pergola. Although she was not reconciled, she could only endure it first.
In a short while, Du Ruo brought the little red horse that Empress Wei had rewarded.
Taqing has a gentle temperament, and it still remembers Qin Jiao. When she saw her, she uttered a "recovery" cry. Qin Jiao fed him a maltose, and he rubbed Qin Jiao's palm affectionately with his head, and he didn't recognize it at all.
Qin Jiao stroked its slender neck, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
Du Ruo took the horse, and Qin Jiao stepped onto the horse's back in a strange manner, and tightened the reins.
Compared to the tall and vigorous stallions, Taqing can only be regarded as a pony, but when Qin Jiu sat on the horse's back and looked down below, he suddenly felt that Taqing was still a little too high.
There was a seemingly innocent look on her face, but her arms were tight, and the hand holding the reins was also tightly clenched.
"Du Ruo, I will take it for a walk and come back." Qin Jiao said.
"Girl, let's be a slave and take you for a walk." Du Ruo looked at Qin Jiu's strange appearance, panicking in her heart, and frightened her girl in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Qin Jiu is not a stubborn one, and readily responded: "Okay."
So Du Ruo took the reins of Taqing and took Qin Jiao to stroll around.
Qin Jiu's body buckled along with the horse's movement, and she had nothing to say: "Du Ruo, can you ride a horse?"
"Yes." Du Ruo nodded and said, "Slaves have to learn everything in the palace." There are thousands of maids in the palace. Du Ruo can wait in Fengluan Palace at a young age and can be given to Qin by Empress Wei. Jiu, naturally has some ability.
"It's great, you all." Qin Jiu felt that he still had to learn how to ride a horse, at least he couldn't let Qin Zeyu look down upon him.
The master and servant walked away with a smile.
Not far away, Yingluo stared at Qin Jiu's back, her slender eyelashes left a faint shadow on the eye sockets, her eyes deep.
Qin Jiu rode a horse around aimlessly for a few laps. At first, her body tightened. Gradually, she realized that Ta Qing’s temperament was really docile, so she increased her courage, relaxed her body, and began to realize how much The fun of riding a horse.
Well, the air at high places is really fresh!
Du Ruo saw that Qin Jiu had relaxed a lot, so he dragged her into the forest. Of course, it was just the surrounding forest.
The green all over the sky makes people feel refreshed, the cold wind is filled with the faint smell of vegetation and soil, and the scent of flowers is refreshing.
At this time, there were not many wild flowers, but there were a lot of wild fruits. Qin Jiu did not care whether these wild fruits could be eaten or not, so he picked a lot from the branches enthusiastically, all of them packed in a backpack on horseback.
One after another, some noble ladies also entered the hunting ground to have fun, and the wind brought their laughter:
"Look! Is that a rabbit?"
"It's a rabbit!"
"Hey, don't shoot it, the rabbit is so cute!"
"..."
Qin Jiu couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, his shoulders trembling slightly.
Du Ruo thought that Qin Jiu also wanted to hunt rabbits, and suggested with a smile: "Girl, since there are rabbits here, should we look for a rabbit nest? Maybe we can hunt a nest of rabbits and go back!"
Qin Jiao's eyes lit up and he was excited, "Okay, let's hunt a litter of rabbits and give it to my cousin!"
Du Ruo smiled and pointed his finger in the direction of the rising sun, and said: "Girl, the slave and maidservant just saw a white rabbit ran over there. Let's go there and take a look. Maybe it's lucky. We can really hunt for the Sixth Prince. A litter of little rabbits."
The master and servant led Taqing and walked towards the east with a smile.
Not far from the back, Yingluo and other ladies were playing in twos and threes, talking, laughing and having fun. Most of them did not pay attention to Qin Jiu. Only Yingluo, who was riding on a white horse, looked at Qin Jiu's back without blinking, her lips Squeeze tightly, eyes flickering.
Yingluo felt it was worthless for Qin Xin.
Qin Xin was harmed by Qin Jiu. He couldn't even come for winter hunting. He was even discussed in secret, but Qin Jiu was like a okay person, carefree, riding a horse and sloping around.
Qin Jiao didn't have any reflection or guilt at all, not only that, she was so arrogant!
Yingluo stared at Qin Jiu's back deeply, with disdain in her heart: Daqi dynasty established the country by martial arts, not to mention the girls from the civil servants, the girls from the other noble military commanders are all able to ride horses, like Qin Xin, not only proficient Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even riding and shooting is also a leader among the ladies.
Qin Jiu is just a country girl who can't even ride a horse. Even if she puts on a beautiful dress and dresses herself up as a lady of the world, she is only superficial.
In the final analysis, Qin Jiu couldn't make it to the table after all, and what was hidden in his bones was just a puddle of mud!
Yingluo raised her hand to take down the longbow that was behind her back, and slowly buckled the arrow...
A lady in blue saw it and asked casually with a smile, "Princess, what prey did you see?"
Yingluo smiled without saying a word, and directly drew her bow to aim, bowed like a full moon, and then calmly released her arrow.
"Wow!"
With the violent sound of breaking through the air, the feather arrow shot out, piercing the air like lightning, and shot forward.
Several ladies all looked in the direction where the feather arrows were shot, wanting to see what the prey was.
I didn't want to, but I saw Qin Jiao who was ten meters away, and the feather arrow was shooting in the direction of Qin Jiao, like a meteor.
"what!"
Those noble ladies were so frightened that they exclaimed again and again, and their faces turned pale.
Hearing the exclamation sound from behind and the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air, Qin Jiu turned his head subconsciously, and at a glance saw a feather arrow rushing through the bushes, bringing a surge of energy. wind.
At this moment, Qin Jiu's instinct was to turn his head to avoid. The problem was that Du Ruo walked in front of her to open the way. If he avoided, the arrow might hit Du Ruo.
The movement in her hand was faster than the brain, and the whip in her hand slammed towards the feather arrow...
However, there are people who are faster than her--
There was another sound of breaking through the air, and another feather arrow struck from the other direction, slashing through the air like lightning, carrying a sharp and killing air, accurately knocking the arrow that Yingluo shot crooked and crooked. Shot askew into the grass.
Later, the force of the second feather arrow did not disappear, and it continued to shoot forward. It hit a big tree ten feet away. The arrow tip was three inches into the wood. The trunk shook violently, and countless leaves rained. Like falling down one after another.
There was silence all around, and only the swaying rustle of the branch and the roar of the mountain breeze rang out.
Although the crisis was lifted, Qin Jiu was still in shock.
She swung the whip just now, and her strength is not small, but she does not have the basis for martial arts. The momentum of the arrow is so fierce, she wants a whip to hit it and pull it away. Possibility Extremely low.
Looking back at this moment, Qin Jiu's heart still tightened slightly: It's dangerous!
At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes in the direction of the second arrow.
It was Gu Zezhi who rode the horse.
He rides on a white horse with no flaws, noble and elegant in his gestures, and he is born with a kind of supreme demeanor. The whole person is light and windy, and there seems to be an invisible barrier separating him from others. Come, let people dare not get close.
The ladies looked at him, silent for a while.
"Big Brother!"
Qin Jiu grinned at Gu Zezhi, his smile was extremely bright, and once again felt that his golden thigh was not wrong!
Gu Zezhi smiled slightly, pulled the reins, and said to Qin Jiu: "Go."
Qin Jiu obediently followed.
After going around a few bushes, Qin Jiu saw Princess Yingluo and other ladies not far away, especially Yingluo was holding a bow in her hand, while the other ladies all looked at him with a subtle expression.
Qin Zhuo was startled.
She did hear the voices of some women just now, only thinking that they were the noble ladies who came to the outskirts of the hunting ground like herself, but she did not expect that there was Princess Yingluo among them.
"Uncle Ze."
Yingluo is the princess of the clan, and according to her generation, she must be called one of Gu Ze's uncle.
She spoke these three words very stiffly, and she was both unwilling and irritated: She could have taught Qin Jiu a lesson, but Gu Zezhi had a kick.
The other ladies also bowed to Gu Zezhi.
Qin Ji looked straight at the longbow in Yingluo's hand, his face expressionless, no happiness or anger could be seen in his expression.
Yingluo turned her head to meet Qin Jiu's eyes, raised her eyebrows, and said lightly: "This princess accidentally missed her hand, Miss Qin San, would you care?"
She curled her lips and smiled openly and undisguisedly, as if she was saying: I did it on purpose, what can you do to me!
In fact, she also knew how to measure. She learned to ride and shoot since she was a child. The arrow just left Qin Jiu's face with a scar, and it would not kill her.
Qin Jiu still looked at Yingluo, his eyes were deep and he did not speak.
Yingluo didn't take Qin Jiu to heart. After all, he is the princess of the clan, what can Qin Jiu do with himself!
Yingluo chuckled and turned to Gu Zezhi: "Uncle Ze, didn't you enter the hunting ground with the emperor? Why are you here?"
Gu Zezhi did not answer Yingluo, and said to Qin Jiu: "Go whatever you want."
Qin Jiao: "?"
Gu Zezhi also knew a little bit about this girl, knowing that on the surface she was desperate and wanting, she could survive in fine clothes, rough tea and light rice, but she was not willing to suffer in her bones.
She might swallow for a while for some reason, but since she is here, why let her endure it.
Gu Zezhi smiled at her, still showing her gentle and gentle appearance, which was like a spring breeze.
Qin Jiao stayed for a while, suddenly understood the meaning of golden thighs, and his eyes were bright.
Qin Jiu walked towards Yingluo in stride, stopped in front of her horse, and smiled at her slightly.
"Miss Qin San," Ying Luo looked down at Qin Jiu from the horseback, showing a haughty and alienated smile, "what's the matter?"
Qin Jiu replied solemnly: "My hands are a little cramped."
Wreaths:"?"
She was about to say that Qin Jiu's hand cramping had nothing to do with her, when she saw a black whip waved towards her like a long snake...
"..." Yingluo was shocked, and subconsciously let out a scream.
She dodges to hide, forgetting for a while that she is still on horseback, and when she is crooked, she falls directly off the horse.
"Princess!" The other ladies murmured nervously.
All this happened so fast that these noble ladies had no time to hold Yingluo.
Yingluo fell heavily on the grass below, screaming, and the other ladies felt pain.
Almost at the same time, Qin Jiu's whip brushed the horse and fell, and slammed it to the ground with a "slap", raising dust and fallen leaves in the sky.
The other ladies were all startled, they sat on the horse, not knowing how to react.
Who would have thought that Qin Jiu was so courageous that she even dared to fight Princess Yingluo.
The cold wind in the mountains blew, and the few remaining leaves that Qin Jiu picked up happened to fall on Princess Yingluo's hair and face with the wind, making her look embarrassed.
Qin Jiu looked at Yingluo three steps away, and the corner of his mouth hooked up slightly.
Just now, Yingluo didn't hurt her with that arrow; now, he couldn't hit her with the whip and was evened.
As for Yingluo falling off the horse... it was her own fall, and it had nothing to do with herself!
Qin Jiu was in a very good mood, and smiled brighter at Gu Zezhi.
She must hold her golden thigh well and don't let it go.
"Qin, Ji!" Yingluo struggled to sit up from the ground, watching Qin Jiu's eyes full of bloodshot eyes, "You actually took the initiative to attack this county!"
"My hands are cramping." Qin Jiu said with an innocent look, "Could it be that the princess is only allowed to fail, and my hands are cramping?! This makes no sense."
"Qin Ji..." Yingluo was so angry that her chest couldn't help but her eyes breathed fire.
She knew Qin Jiu must be intentional, just as Qin Jiu knew she was intentional.
Qin Jiao dared to do this only relying on Uncle Ze's support for her!
Uncle Ze Huang was so partial to her!
Yingluo gritted her teeth and looked like a knife.
Qin Jiu collected the whip and walked back to Gu Zezhi in three steps and two steps. With a gentle smile on Gu Zezhi's lips, he rolled over and got off his horse. After a few words, the two of them led their horses in the other direction.
The winter sun fell softly on the two of them, gentle and comfortable, and the two gradually moved away.
"Shire."
At this time, the ladies came back to their senses and got off their horses one after another to help Yingluo.
Yingluo threw them away angrily. A tortoise crack faintly appeared on Fang Wan's face, her shell teeth biting her lower lip, as if she could feel the faint smell of blood in her lips.
"The princess," a noble lady looked at Yingluo curtly, "this is how people come out of this humble place, thinking that everything will be fine if you hook Son Gu."
"What about the third son of Gu, he is not a prince, and he has no knighthood. The princess only calls him uncle when he respects him. I really think he is the elder of the princess."
"Princess, don't be angry, then Qin Jiu is just a bad crock pot, how can he compare with you!"
"..."
A few noble ladies kept talking flatteringly, but these voices could no longer get into Yingluo's ears, Yingluo clenched her fists and stared intently at the direction Qin Ji and Gu Zezhi were leaving.
She remembered that when he was in Shenghua Pavilion last month, Gu Zezhi was also obviously protecting Qin Jiu.
This Qin Jiu only dared to act so arrogantly because he was pleased with Gu Zezhi. A girl who hadn't come out of the pavilion was so clingy when he saw Gu Zezhi, she was really faceless and skinless! How can she compare with Sister Xin?
Yingluo's guess was wrong. Not only did Qin Jiu never think about sticking to Gu Zezhi, he was now worried about how to get rid of him.
Qin Zhuo racked his brains and hinted a few words, saying that he was going back to the hunting platform, but Gu Zezhi didn't understand it.
Qin Jiao: "..."
She turned her head to look at Gu Zezhi, and said in her heart: Is he pretending? It must be!
There was no concealment of her expression, let Gu Zeyi know that this girl wanted to kill the donkey again.
Gu Zezhi smiled slightly, and suddenly asked, "Where is my veil?"
Veil? ! Qin Jiao was taken aback, and he almost staggered his feet. Gu Zezhixu gave her a hand, put his hand down, and looked at her with a smile.
Qin Zhuo was a little vain in his eyes, and he didn't know if it was her illusion. The other person's eyes seemed to be a frivolous young bully.
Well, now that she lost the veil, is it too late?
Qin Jiao didn't dare to say, "I forgot to bring it."
A few days ago, she had been thinking about returning the veil to him as soon as possible, so she kept carrying it, but today she thought that she might not have the chance to see him, so she didn't bring it out.
Qin Jiao regrets it, or she will go back to get the veil now?
Gu Zezhi looked at her with a deep smile, "If so, you just keep it."
Qin Jiao: "..."
She always feels that Gu Zezhi's words seem a little bit wrong?
"Where are you going just now?" Gu Zezhi asked, turning around.
Seeing that he didn't continue the topic of the veil, Qin Jiao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "I want to catch a rabbit."
"Rabbit." Gu Zezhi said with interest, "I will be with you."
Qin Jiao was silent again, asking the future villain to accompany him to catch the rabbit, isn't it not good?
It turns out that the big guy is the big guy.
With Gu Zezhi, Qin Jiu didn't have to worry about anything at all, and saw him skilfully searching the mountains and forests for hare's footsteps, dung, etc., and soon he found a rabbit den.
As the saying goes, cunning rabbit has three points.
From Gu Zezhi's mouth, Qin Jiu knew that Guitu not only had three dens, but even one den had at least three exits.
After locking the three exits of the rabbit nest, Gu Zezhi used materials on the spot to set up hare sets at two of the exits, and asked Qin Jiu to smoke from the last exit of the rabbit nest.
After a while, two chubby white rabbits panicked and ran out of one of the exits, letting Gu Zezhi's eyes catch them quickly.
Golden thighs are awesome!
Qin Jiu looked at Gu Zezhi, who was carrying a white rabbit in one hand, and could not help but let out a heartfelt admiration, and almost wanted to clap his hands.
"Big brother, you are really amazing!" Qin Jiao looked at Gu Zezhi with a diligent smile, trying hard to get close, "Did you often hunt before?"
She wondered in her heart that maybe he could let him, a full-level boss, give her a taste of takeoff. Since he can hunt hares, he should also be able to hunt something else?
Gu Zezhi seemed to see what she was thinking, and nodded with a smile, with a gentle smile, "Father often takes our brothers to hunt together. My father taught me how to ride and shoot."
Hearing Gu Zezhi's mention of Duan Wang Gu Xiao, Qin Di was startled, and a strange light flashed across his eyes.
When Gu Zezhi mentioned his father and king, his expression was gentle, and he also had a feeling of admiration. Obviously, there is no gap between the father and son at this moment, but in the novel it is written that he fled after killing his father.
Could something be wrong...
At this time, Gu Zezhi stuffed one of the white rabbits to Qin Jiu, and Qin Jiu hugged him tightly. The white rabbit in his hand was warm and soft, and his hind legs were very strong and powerful.
Not far away, Du Ruo, who had been forgotten by the two of them, felt that he had a lot to follow, and said in his heart: The girl does not need to pay back the veil...
After playing with Gu Zezhi in the hunting ground for a long time, Qin Jiu returned with a lot of spoils as he wished, including prey, wild fruits, and some wild mushrooms and vegetables.
As for one of the white rabbits they first hunted, it was safely delivered to the hands of the Sixth Prince Gu Ju.
"Cousin, this rabbit is for you, and this bow!"
Qin Jiu not only gave the rabbit to Gu Yu, but also the new bow that he had previously promised to give him.
Qin Zeyu was also here with Gu Ju, just lingering, holding a bamboo arrow in his hand, turning around his fingers at will.
He originally planned to wait for Qin Zening to enter the hunting grounds, and then find a few friends to play, who thought Qin Zening would directly throw him here to Gu Ju, let him play with Gu Ju.
Gu Yu was only five years old and he was also a prince. Qin Zeyu was afraid of taking Gu Yu into the hunting ground because of the bear heart and leopard gall, so he had to accompany Gu Yu on horseback riding, playing with pots and so on.
He just saw Qin Jiu coming, so he thought about throwing Gu Ji to Qin Jiu, and sneaked away by himself, but when he saw the black bow Qin Jiu handed Gu Ji, he forgot his original idea. Do nothing.
Qin Zeyu had never seen such a weird bow before. He suddenly remembered that on the way to Huangjue Temple with Qin Gui and Qin Zening last month, he had heard them mention a new type of bow.
"Is this a compound bow?" Qin Zeyu blurted out.
Gu Yu gave the white rabbit to the little servant, and couldn't wait to try the new bow from Qin Jiu. He has been learning bow shooting from the bow shooting master for a month, and the appearance of the bow is already decent.
Gu Yu pulled the bowstring gently, and seeing that the bow with a stone was opened easily, his eyes lit up.
"Cousin Ji, I'm pulling away!" Gu Yu said in surprise, thinking that his cousin is really nice.
Qin Zeyu was shocked, and the bamboo arrow in his hand almost didn't let go. This compound bow is actually the same as the elder brother said, even a child can easily pull it away, the elder brother really didn't lie to him.
In other words, as the eldest brother said that day, this bow has a full range of four hundred steps, and the tail is also strong. After four hundred steps, the arrow can still reach three inches!
