The fifth prince's cold attitude was very hurtful to outsiders.
Yan gently tugged on the third prince's sleeve: "Brother, third prince, don't be sad. It's not that fifth brother doesn't welcome you, he just... he doesn't like me."
The third princess is the "eyeball" sister of all the princes. Of course, she has no intention of being jealous. She also treasures sister Minglan.
She just wanted to tell the third prince that it was because she almost hurt sister Minglan that the fifth brother didn't want to see her.
As soon as she finished speaking, the fifth prince frowned and glared at the girl fiercely: "It's so noisy."
Yan Qingqing was so frightened that he stood up and said quickly: "Brother, Third Prince, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Before she finished the last sentence, her back was already behind the bushes, and she was out of sight in the blink of an eye.
The third prince smiled and sat down next to the fifth prince: "Do you like me?"
"Ouch!"
The black figure seemed to have been stung by something. He sat up from the green grass. A suspicious blush appeared on his cold white skin. He spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth and evaded his eyes: "You...you are talking nonsense." What? Mind yourself!"
Because I was so anxious and excited, I couldn't speak clearly.
"Why……"
The third prince was not upset at all. With spring in front of his eyes and the gurgling stream in his ears, it was indeed a beautiful thing to lie here and bask in the sun.
Occasionally, large numbers of frightened birds fly out of the forest. It should be that the princes and their guards are hunting.
Yan pouted slightly, the boss was not happy, the third prince failed to seduce him, he failed to eat the roast rabbit, and he was inexplicably beaten by the fifth brother.
Why are you so unlucky?
She picked up a branch in her hand and slapped it randomly in the air, as if she thought the air was the vicious fifth prince.
"Tuk-tuk! Tuk-tuk! Tuk-tuk..."
The sound of horse hooves gradually became louder. Yan turned around slightly and saw a young man in black clothes and black hair coming on a horse.
The slanting handsome eyebrows, the narrow and stern eyes, and the sharp outlines all send out the message that he is difficult to get along with.
The galloping horse roared past Yan Qingqing, and the dust raised made the girl close her eyes.
"call out--"
The sound of sharp arrows piercing the sky.
The fifth prince moved his left ear and pedaled his feet on the horse. When the arrow almost hit Yan Qingqing's vest, the young man was like a whirling whirlwind, holding him in his arms and throwing him on the ground. It rolled several times before stopping.
Where Yan Qingqing was standing just now, there was an ordinary black-feathered arrow inserted.
There was a "rumble" of cavalry approaching, and everyone was shooting. Yan Qingqing didn't even know where the arrow flew out from.
But she knew that it was the fifth prince who saved her.
"girl!"
Hongguo screamed and rushed over belatedly, trying to help her girl up: "Girl, are you okay?"
The fifth prince stood up, revealing the frightened girl beneath him, and looked at Lin Zhong with a gloomy and terrifying look.
Yan Qingqing thought she was going to be scolded again. After being helped up by Hong Guo, she didn't dare to look into the eyes of the fifth prince, and mumbled: "Thank you... thank you, fifth brother."
A feeling of fear came over her, and the girl's hands were trembling as she hung them by her side.
She is very afraid of death.
But unexpectedly, the fifth prince did not blame her this time. Instead, he took off his cloak and threw it in a graceful arc in the air, draping it on her dirty dress: "Ride my horse, Go back first."
In his eyes, Yan Qingqing saw danger.
Without much argument, she nodded, rode on his horse, and left with the maid.
As soon as she left, the prince's bodyguards rushed out of the woods, led by Jing Fengjie, the third son of the Jing family.
He is not very old, but he has a high seniority. If we really count, the emperor's biological mother is Jing Fengjie's aunt, and the emperor is his cousin. Even the prince has to call him "cousin".
Now the Jing family has restored its glory to its heyday more than twenty years ago.
After all, she is the emperor's real maternal family, and the emperor will give special treatment to her in many matters.
Jing Fengjie glanced at the fifth prince, but had no intention of dismounting. Instead, he sat on the horse and said condescendingly: "Fifth prince, just now I saw a jumping rabbit coming here. When I wanted to shoot it, it seemed It ran away, could the fifth prince see it? "
He did it on purpose!
The fifth prince was not used to him, so he sneered: "You can't even hunt rabbits, but you still have the nerve to ask this prince, it's ridiculous."
"you……"
The guard behind Jing Fengjie couldn't listen and said angrily: "Why are you talking to our boss? How great do you really think you are? If it weren't for the kindness of our Queen Mother, do you think you are a down-and-out prince who was exiled by the emperor? Can you come out of the imperial mausoleum?"
The Jing family is the emperor's real maternal family. Their eldest son's grandfather is the prince's tutor, and the eldest son himself is also the prince's personal guard appointed by the emperor.
Why is his fifth prince so arrogant?
"Snapped!"
"Well……"
A pebble hit the guard's face, and the fifth prince still had the dead fish face: "Then it's not your turn as a watchdog to make noise here."
The guard was knocked off his horse, his teeth were knocked out, and his mouth was bleeding.
The person who fired the arrow was Jing Fengjie. The fifth prince knew his father's lenient treatment to the Jing family. Even if he wanted to pursue the case, his father would make it a big deal and make it a trivial matter.
He turned around, not wanting to get too entangled with a sinister villain like Jing Fengjie.
"Whoosh!"
The head of the black-feathered arrow shot into the fifth prince's hair bun, and the young man in black clothes tilted his body to the side, put one hand on the ground, and kicked the arrow. The black-feathered arrow turned its head and inserted it into Jing Fengjie. In the golden crown on the head.
"puff!"
Some people couldn't help but laugh out loud, but thinking that they were Jing Fengjie's, they suppressed their laughter.
Seeing Jing Fengjie's cracked expression, the fifth prince shook his messy hair after exercise and prepared to leave with brisk steps.
"Shen Mingsheng, your strength is not worthy of your ambition. Stay away from Yan Qingqing, she can only be the princess."
If she were not a princess and married any prince, the Jing family would send her to hell.
The fifth prince paused, turned around and glared at Jing Fengjie. He said a few "greetings" in his throat, but finally left without saying a word.
"Boss..."
Jing Fengjie pulled out the arrow from his head and said with a sullen face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too kind, which fuels the ambitions of these people, but it doesn't matter. I am the cousin of His Highness the Crown Prince. If Your Highness doesn't care, I will do it for you." He keeps a close eye and will never let anyone threaten his position as prince."
The fifth prince is the legitimate son of the late empress. Although he is adopted, there are still many remnants of the Zhu family in the court. The late empress's younger brother Zhu Qianyi married the legitimate daughter of Concubine Jiang Shu's family.
In recent years, the fifth prince's interactions have become increasingly close, and the Jing family has to guard against it.
After all, the Zhu family has a history of rebellion.
