360 A valiant hunt —-Though Liu Hui Ying had a lot to say, she decided to stay silent and refrained from saying anything more but at the same time, she started to miss her time. At least she could change her clothes anywhere at any time, she wanted without having to throw herself into the yellow river.

She turned to look at Nanny Gong and then said, ” Why is it that his majesty’s body can be seen by not only the concubines but just anyone without him throwing himself into the yellow river, Nanny?”

The elderly woman turned to look at her as if she was looking at an idiot and then said in a soft yet exasperated voice, ” Because he is a man and the Emperor, your majesty. He has the responsibility to give the imperial family as many heirs as he can, what’s more, he has the support of the heavens.”

” Uh huh, I am sure those old gods told him that he could wriggle wriggle his banana anywhere,” Liu Hui Ying scoffed under her breath causing Nanny Gong to tilt her head and question, ” Did you say something, your majesty?”

” I said that I am the time of my life here,” Liu Hui Ying told the woman hoping she will be able to get her sarcasm but when she saw the elderly woman looking at her with a sobbing expression as she looked at Liu Hui Ying like she was glad that she was slowly maturing, Liu Hui Ying knew that her sarcasm missed the target.

Liu Hui Ying rolled her eyes as she groaned, ” For goodness sake, give me a break.”

” His Majesty and Her Majesty, please come and grace these subjects and your people,” Liu Hui Ying heard the voice of Ji Yang who was standing at top of the stage with a gentle and amicable expression on his face, if anyone looked at his face, they will not be able to ever think that this man was hiding an evil spirit in his house.

” You are right about that,” she heard Witch Mao say as the latter walked beside her, Liu Hui Ying turned to look at the elderly ghost woman and then said, ” Are you not supposed to be asleep?”

” I slept for years,” replied the old woman with a roll of her eyes. ” I was getting bored which is why I came out, unlike those three who had enjoyed excitement for years, I stayed in the graveyard and simply watched the grave of that old hag.”

.....

She paused and then turned to look at the stage where Zhai Tianyu was walking with Liu Hui Ying in tow, she rubbed her hands and said, ” I am excited to see this hunt as well, back in my time the emperors used to chase after hunts for an entire evening before returning with their game. Only that game was cooked on the first day and was offered to the gods.” 𝗳𝚛𝐞𝘦wℯ𝚋𝓷o𝚟el. 𝐜𝘰𝒎

The way Witch Mao was describing the scene, even Liu Hui Ying wanted to see the hunt, which was why she excitedly hopped onto the stage that was built at the centre of the hunting grounds. She watched as the priests who were called to grace the hunting ceremony handed the bow and arrow to Zhai Tianyu who was standing in the front of the stage.

” Now it is going to start,” said Witch Mao excitedly as she looked at Zhai Tianyu who took the bow and arrow. ” Now there will be a horse and he will jump on it gallantly and——”

Her words were caught in her throat when she saw Zhai Tianyu stay where he was and instead of bringing a horse, the workers of the hunting ground brought a tied-up deer that was placed at a small distance away from Zhai Tianyu.

” Now you can shoot the deer, your majesty and inaugurate the ceremony,” Ji Yang told Zhai Tianyu who was trying hard to fight the blush that was climbing up his cheeks, just now of course he heard everything that Liu Hui Ying and Witch Mao said about the hunt and knew that they were excited about the hunt but the thing was that as the puppet emperor of the imperial city, he had never been taught archery or any other defence skills which were why he could not hunt the deer as the two of them wanted to watch.

Never before he has ever felt this worse before, he looked at the deer that was harmlessly tied up behind him and then daringly peeked at Liu Hui Ying who was standing behind him.

‘ EEP.’ It was a big mistake on his part.

The second he turned to look at Liu Hui Ying, he saw her entire body enveloped with fire as she glared at him and the deer and then at Nanny Gong who was pointedly ignoring her gaze.

Looks like Nanny Gong also told some made-up stories about his valiant hunts to the queen.

Feeling more than embarrassed, Zhai Tianyu drew the arrow and aimed at the deer but then he caught sight of Yu Lingyun and Zhai Heng who were shaking their heads furtively and could only loosen up the grip of his arrow and let it shoot out of the bow, only to fly for a few seconds before falling in front of the deer.

He was sure that even the deer looked at the arrow and then raised his head to look at him while calling him dumbass in his head.

As soon as the arrow dropped on the ground, a servant rushed forward and then picked up the arrow with a handkerchief tied around his hands and then in front of everyone he walked to the deer who was lying on the floor and then stabbed it with the arrow that was almost shot by the Emperor.

The second the arrow stabbed the deer in the side and blood sprouted out, Ji Yang who was standing inside Liu Dong Ming who was looking at Zhai Tianyu as if he was looking at a fool, started clapping loudly. ” Bravo! The Emperor has graced us with his blessings! He actually shot the arrow further than the last year.”

Liu Hui Ying: Is this something to be proud of?

Zhai Tianyu: Just kill me.
