She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 493 - 492: Female Bodhisattva, Watch the Sword!

The autumn rain had finally stopped.

In the Imperial Palace, all the embroideresses had been working overtime these days, rushing to finish the robes for the new emperor and empress to ensure that the coronation day would go off without a hitch.

Every day, Yan Wanqing was woken up by Cong Ge, one day reviewing the fabric of the attire, another day the jewelry.

She had barely awaited the day of the Autumn Hunt.

She hurried to follow the Crown Prince out of the palace to get a breath of fresh air.

"Normally you don’t care about these matters, why did you have time to come out today?" the Crown Prince asked as he pinched her nose.

Yan Wanqing, could not really say she had come out to seek refuge, could only smile and change the subject.

"Miss Qin Erya pays her respects to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess Consort," a voice interrupted them abruptly.

Today, she had abandoned her usual plainness and wore a peach-red palace dress, which made her exceptionally radiant and charming.

The Crown Prince glanced at Qin Erya indifferently and, without a word, walked away.

The last time Yan Wanqing was assassinated, he had given the Grand Tutor of the Qin Family face by not pursuing it further.

But anyone clever could guess what was really going on.

Today, given the many people around during the competitive Autumn Hunt between the two nations, his reluctance to deal with Qin Erya showed he was in a good mood.

Qin Erya, seeing the Crown Prince ignore her and walk away, gently bit her lip, feeling somewhat hurt.

"No need for formalities," Yan Wanqing said softly. She looked Qin Erya up and down and praised, "The peach-red suits you very well today. It’s very pretty."

"Thank you for the compliment, Crown Princess Consort."

"Don’t blame the Crown Prince; the King of Chu is waiting for him ahead," Yan Wanqing added softly, then she too moved forward.

Qin Erya was at a loss as to what Wanqing really meant by her words.

"Miss Qin looks really beautiful today, finally not dressed in plain colors." Just as Qin Erya was about to leave, she heard a soft voice from behind her.

She turned around to see Yan Lingzhen looking up at her, an innocent expression on her face.

She curled her lips, "Thank you for the compliment, Miss Yan the Sixth."

The two sisters were both noticeable figures.

Qin Erya scoffed inwardly.

Yan Lingzhen tilted her head and added, "The jungle is dangerous, some fierce animals are attracted to bright colors, do be very careful, Miss Qin." With that, she bounced away.

What did she mean by that?

Was this also a threat?

Qin Erya squinted her eyes, watching Yan Lingzhen’s retreating figure.

The Autumn Hunt officially began.

A group of noble youths galloped into the depths of the jungle with their bows and arrows, a scene that stirred people’s blood.

Xiao Pingfeng and Chu Qi were also eager to try, but given their responsibilities as rulers, they could only sit in the stands, drinking tea and eating fruits.

"If the Crown Princess Consort were not pregnant, she couldn’t be missing from such an event," Chu Qi suddenly said beside him.

Xiao Pingfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, "You seem to be very familiar with my Crown Princess Consort."

"During the trip North of the Pass years ago, I had the good fortune to travel with the Crown Princess Consort, and I learned a great deal," he replied.

Alone with her horse and sword, Yan Wanqing’s valiant figure was breathtakingly unforgettable.

So much so that she had haunted his dreams for many years.

As a man, Xiao Pingfeng sensed that Chu Qi still harbored desires toward Yan Wanqing.

This thought was exceedingly displeasing to him.

"It’s no use, I’m getting old, I won’t be able to partake in these activities much longer," Yan Wanqing joked from beside him.

Xiao Pingfeng reached to hold her hand, his thin lips curling slightly, "What nonsense are you talking, Wanwan? You’re so young. Once the child is born, what does all this matter? We’ll go hunting on the plains."

Yan Wanqing nodded, "You mustn’t go back on your word."

"A gentleman’s word is his bond. When have you ever seen me renege on a promise to you?"

Yan Wanqing seemed to think of something, her earlobes slightly red, and she immediately changed the subject, "It’s such a pity for Chang Kuan. If it hadn’t been for that incident, he would be wildly riding with the young men today as well."

When Chang Kuan was mentioned, everyone sighed.

"Indeed, Chang Kuan had military merits and a promising future. Yet he can only lie on his bed every day, aging by the minute. That nephew of Liu Pingzhi is despicable to the extreme!"

"If it weren’t for the Crown Prince’s accession to the throne and his decree to pardon the convicted, that scoundrel wouldn’t have survived until today."

"His death wouldn’t be a pity! It’s just regrettable for Deputy General Chang Kuan; I heard he hasn’t even married or had children..."

The voices from below slowly reached those above.

Yan Wanqing’s expression darkened considerably.

Xiao Pingfeng, seeing this, tightly grasped her hand.

"General Rujin has shot a sika deer!"

The soldier shouted, and then a still-bleeding young deer was placed in front of everyone.

The little deer’s four hooves were still flailing.

"Not only is General Rujin skilled in martial arts and horseback archery, but look at this arrow; it hit the young deer’s strongest hind leg. During the feast tonight, if the deer is still alive, grilling it will make the meat even more delicious."

Someone laughed loudly.

The sika deer’s eyes were bright, with tears at the corners, looking extremely pitiful, flailing its legs while emitting soft deer cries.

This touched the hearts of many women, making them feel compassion.

At that moment, a peach-colored figure stood out.

"Your Highness Crown Prince, this humble girl has a presumptuous request."

Xiao Pingfeng spoke indifferently, "Speak."

Qin Erya composed herself, "This little deer is extremely pitiful. Heaven advocates mercy; why not entrust it to me to treat it and then release it back into nature? It would also be a virtuous deed."

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence.

The Miss of the Qin Family truly has a soft-hearted, saintly nature.

But—

Was this saintly compassion misplaced here?

Indeed, seeing Xiao Pingfeng’s icy eyes, "This is General Rujin’s prey; I cannot decide for her."

Upon hearing this, Qin Erya turned her gaze towards Yan Wanqing, "Could the Crown Princess Consort bear to watch this little deer die tragically? Perhaps its mother is waiting somewhere deep in the forest, hoping for her return home."

Xiao Pingfeng was about to lose his temper, but Yan Wanqing held down his hand.

He widened his eyes, not understanding why his wife was stopping him.

"Don’t hold me back, I want to scold her!"

Yan Wanqing immediately soothed, "So many people are watching, think about the impression you make. In public, you are the gentle and refined Crown Prince."

Not the Xiao Duidui who argues with heaven and earth and air."

The Crown Prince exhaled a breath of stale air.

Chu Qi added fuel to the fire, "Miss Qin is indeed kind-hearted; the little deer really is pitiful. If it receives treatment now, it might have a chance to survive."

Qin Erya nodded gratefully towards Chu Qi, "Thank you, King of Chu, for understanding this girl’s intentions."

"Pfft!" Yan Lingzhen spat directly in the crowd.

What a unique, world-class, grand white lotus.

Daring to embarrass my sister, let’s see how you cry later!

"Miss Qin," Yan Wanqing finally spoke up, her eyes twinkling with a faint smile, "Now it’s a little deer, later it could be a little rabbit, a little hedgehog, a little lion, or a little tiger. Does Miss Qin plan to heal them all?"

"Look, speaking of the little rabbit, here it comes."

At that moment, the soldier shouted loudly,

"Young Master Qin Huai has shot a little rabbit!"
