Chapter 17 Oh, what to bet on?
Chu Yue raised her beautiful eyes, "Very good."
Mo Yun understood that the Japanese never fought a battle without preparation, so he asked, "Do we need to intercept them along the way?"
Chu Yue smiled slightly, "Of course, it's not that this princess is afraid of him, but I heard that two groups of people spent more than 300,000 taels of silver to buy Chu Liying. To ensure that these people don't cause trouble, it's better to let Chu Li arrive late."
Chu Yue looked towards the hunting grounds. "On the day of the autumn hunt, all the princes, nobles, and ministers above the fifth rank will be there. If she doesn't come, how do you think the court officials will look at her? Will the emperor be furious?"
If Chu Li arrived late, the ministers in the court would have a worse impression of him, and his father would be even more disappointed in him.
"Yes." Mo Yun nodded and went to make arrangements.
Chu Yue touched her warhorse and said, "Heifeng, if you beat them this time, I will give you some extra ingredients."
The black warhorse neighed twice, its eyes widened, and the hostility it had acquired on the battlefield made it look very difficult to mess with.
Chu Yue smiled confidently, raised the whip, and rode back to the city.
......
The day before the autumn hunt.
Huanyan got up at daybreak. It was like a dream that she had become the prince's personal bodyguard.
In addition to the prince's rare appearance as rumored, she also discovered yesterday that he was meticulous and kind-hearted.
He is definitely not as incompetent as the people say. In her eyes, the prince is an extremely smart person who thinks five steps ahead.
It turns out that the prince has been hiding his abilities all these years.
Huanyan then thought about her face again and sat in front of the mirror dejectedly.
She really felt that she was too ugly and unworthy of being the prince's personal bodyguard.
"Forget it. The prince doesn't care about appearance. As long as he doesn't mind, why should I care about other people's opinions?" Huanyan raised her eyes and looked at the bronze mirror.
But when she saw herself in the bronze mirror, her pupils suddenly dilated and she covered her face with her right hand.
How can it be!
The poison spots on her face disappeared by more than half overnight!
Huanyan cried with joy and immediately thought of the pill the prince gave her yesterday.
Huanyan was so excited that she couldn't express it in words. She quickly washed up, put on the palace maid's clothes prepared for her by Bingxia, and immediately went to Chu Li's door.
Chu Li got up early in the morning and saw a man standing respectfully outside the door.
"Huanyan, come in."
When Chu Li saw Huan Yan without her veil, he praised: "Oh, our Huan Yan turns out to be a great beauty."
The horrifying red spots on Huanyan's face yesterday turned into a light pink, as if she had been stained with rouge.
"The poison in your body has already penetrated deep into your internal organs. It is not particularly easy to remove. I asked the imperial physician to prescribe some poison-removing medicine for you. If you take it for three months, your appearance will be completely restored."
Huanyan knelt down with a plop. She was very emotional. "Your Highness has shown me kindness, and I have no way to repay you. I have only my humble life left, and I will be at your disposal."
Chu Li held his forehead with his hand. Only people in ancient times would always say that their lives were worthless.
"I cherish my life and talent. You don't need to say such things in the future. Although I am the crown prince, I am not necessarily more comfortable than ordinary people. Therefore, I have to trouble Miss Huanyan to take care of my life."
"Yes, Your Highness." Huanyan was amused by Chu Li's words. How could a prince mock himself for having a dog's life?
Chu Li played with the jade pendant, thinking that he was not a dog's life. He was surrounded by wolves and was just trying to survive every day.
Chu Li said seriously: "Tomorrow is the autumn hunt, I need you to help me do something."
"I will obey your Highness' orders."
......
After Chu Li arranged everything, he stretched his wrists and walked into the yard.
She reclined in a lounge chair, eating grapes and basking in the sun.
"Your Highness seems very comfortable." Pei Ye's voice suddenly came from the tree.
Huanyan had already reminded her that there was a person sleeping in the tree.
Chu Li calmly put the purple grapes into his mouth, "Of course it's comfortable, Commander Pei, is your life very hard? Can't you bear to see me being so comfortable?"
Pei Ye smiled evilly, "Tomorrow, I hope Your Highness can still smile."
"Could it be that Commander Pei is still planning to embarrass me on the day of the autumn hunt?"
Pei Ye gently fell from the tree trunk, stood in front of Chu Li, stared into her eyes, and said disdainfully: "Even if this commander doesn't make things difficult for you, you're doomed to fail!"
Chu Li ate another grape, "Oh, it seems that Commander Pei also bet on me to lose."
Pei Ye tilted his head, "Isn't it?"
Chu Li met Pei Ye's contemptuous and oppressive eyes and stood up. "Commander Pei, gambling is so vulgar. How about this, you return the ring to me, and we will write off our previous affairs. How about we make a bet?"
"Oh, what's the bet?"
"If I win tomorrow, you have to do something for me, and be there whenever I need you."
"What if you lose?"
Chu Li patted his chest and said, "It's up to you."
Pei Ye's narrow eyes darkened, "Okay, it's a deal."
Chu Li ate grapes and watched Pei Ye leave.
She remembered that this childhood playmate was not a bad person, but she didn't know what Pei Ye had gone through to become such a ruthless character who killed people without blinking an eye.
However, she heard that Pei Ye was a very trustworthy person, which was a good thing.
Chu Li got up and went to find Ye Hanting. Ye Hanting was playing chess alone in the pavilion.
"Master!"
When Chi Yan heard Chu Li call him "Master", the corners of his lips twitched. It was definitely not a good thing when the prince called him "Master".
Chu Li sat directly opposite Ye Hanting, "Master, where is your Ferghana horse?"
Ye Hanting gently raised his eyes and looked at Chi Yan, "Bring the red dates over here."
"That silver-white horse is called Hongzao?" Chu Li raised his eyebrows. Ye Hanting, you are so rebellious!
Chi Yan's eyebrows twitched. When did his master lend out his precious Red Hare?
He looked at Lan Yi with a look that said, "Why don't you just do whatever you want?"
Lan Yi coughed lightly and looked away as if it had nothing to do with him.
Not long after, Chu Li saw Chi Yan reluctantly leading an extremely ferocious Red Hare.
The horse was bright red all over. Chu Li was amazed in his heart, thinking that this was a divine horse as ferocious as a tiger!
The king of horses, the real BMW!
"Among men, there is Lu Bu. Among horses, there is Red Hare. What a good horse, Master!"
Before, she was thinking about Ye Hanting’s silver-white Arabian horse, but now she is more satisfied with this Red Hare!
Because Red Hare is wilder!
The Arabian horse is known as the ancient super sports car because of its extremely rare and noble status, as well as its outstanding running ability and endurance. It can travel a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles a night. It also has excellent endurance and can run while only drinking water once a day.
The Red Hare is also a famous horse, known for its speed and bravery. Chu Li's eyes lit up, it was exactly what he wanted!
Chi Yan looked at the prince who was eager to try, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Hmph, wait a moment, Chu Li will know how fierce the temperament of these Red Hares is."
Ye Hanting lent her the Red Hare because he felt that Chu Li had been a little bit crazy recently, and he wanted to temper her temper first so that she could be more cautious tomorrow.
Secondly, he also bet money on this autumn hunt. If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. Giving her a good horse will give her a better chance of winning.
Ye Hanting moved a black piece and said to Chu Li, "Your Highness, the Red Hare is more suitable for hunting, but it is very wild and difficult to tame. You should be good to it today..."
Suddenly, Ye Hanting paused and the atmosphere around him was not right.
