Chapter 264 This Old Deng
But none of them dared to complain about being tired; they all gritted their teeth and held on.
It was not until Lei Nian'er estimated their physical limits that she advised, "Your Highness, take a break."
"Even if the guards aren't tired, the horses are."
Bei Jingchu waved her hand very kindly, "Take a rest."
The guards all breathed a sigh of relief and their waists immediately collapsed.
If he wasn't afraid of losing his manners in front of the prince, he would have wanted to just lie down on the ground.
Someone whispered to his companion: "Your Highness, is the little girl not physically strong enough?"
The guard who was asked covered his face: "...Don't say anything, I just want to be quiet."
The first day was a fruitful one. When they returned to the camp at night, after counting the prey and reporting it, Bei Jingchu and his subordinates gathered together to barbecue and taste the fruits of their hunting.
There were people of all ages in the group, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
After eating and drinking, Bei Jingchu touched her bulging belly and burped, sighing: "It feels so leisurely and comfortable. It's so comfortable."
As soon as she said this, God couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to find her something to do.
"Your Highness, something big has happened." Haoyue glanced at Lei Nian'er with an ambiguous look.
"The young master of the Lei family and the young lady of the Qin family were having a secret meeting and were caught red-handed."
"It's not a big deal, it's just embarrassing."
"It's about the Lei family. Commander Lei is the imperial guard of the Eastern Palace. Her brother did something like this at the autumn hunting ground. His Majesty asked if you would like to go and take a look."
Bei Jingchu and the others turned around and saw Lei Nian'er with a confused look on his face: "What do you mean by Mr. Lei? My brother is only two years old... Oh, Haoyue is talking about my cousin?"
Haoyue nodded.
Lei Nian'er covered her face and lamented, "It's so embarrassing, what is going on?"
Bei Jingchu stood up, dusted off the dust on his hands, and reached out to Lei Nian'er: "Let's go and see what's going on. Just treat it as a show."
Lei Nian'er: "...but this is my own play."
Bei Jingchu didn't put on airs at all: "Sorry, sorry."
When they arrived at the big tent, the young eunuch lifted the curtain and let them in.
Lei Jiadalang knelt down and explained: "I hunted a deer today, so I tried the deer blood out of curiosity."
"Who knew that the Qin family's lady traveled without servants? I thought she was a maid from some family, so..."
Bei Jingchu roughly understood the cause and effect of these two sentences.
I thought the two were having a secret relationship behind their elders' backs, but it turned out to be a forced relationship.
So she asked, "So I can play with you as I please?"
Lei Dalang remained silent.
Lei Ning clenched his fists tightly and looked extremely furious.
But since the emperor was here, he didn't dare to act rashly.
Bei Jingchu walked up and sat down to the left of the emperor. Lei Nian'er glanced at her father on the right, then looked at Bei Jingchu on the left, and without any hesitation, she followed him and sat down to the left.
Lei Ning: ...I don’t know why, but I feel a little upset.
Lei Ning stood up and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. My nephew is really naughty. Lady Qin has suffered such an unprovoked disaster. I will give them an explanation and come to propose marriage after I return from the autumn hunt."
Lei Dalang, who had been lowering his head, suddenly shouted, "No, uncle! I am your nephew! How can I marry the sister of a seventh-rank official?"
"Shut up!"
After scolding his nephew, Lei Ning pleaded, "Your Majesty, now that things have come to this, it will also damage Madam Qin's reputation. It would be better to just marry Qin and Jin and end it here."
The emperor still wanted to finish the matter quickly and return to government affairs. Bei Jingchu knew her father's character better, so before he could make a conclusion, she said, "Since father is busy, let me mediate this matter."
The emperor was like a pardoned man, and he drove all of them out of his tent.
Bei Jingchu: ...this old Deng.
