912 Hunt (5)
Shen Miao pushed him. She did not want to be teased by Xie Jingxing in public. When she turned around, she saw Madam Ye looking at her.
Madam Ye was wearing light clothes. She stood far away, looking at Shen Miao without avoidance. However, that gaze made Shen Miao instinctively uncomfortable. She asked, “Are the Ye family going to hunt today too?”
“Ye Mao is the pri minister, so he naturally has to go. However, the officials will only be on the outside and won’t go in.” Xie Jingxing followed Shen Miao’s gaze and realized that she was staring at Madam Ye. He asked curiously, “You seem to be very concerned about Madam Ye. What happened?”
“I don’t know why…” Shen Miao frowned.” I keep having a bad feeling. You’d better be careful.”

“My brother wants to rope in the Ye family and has been watching their every move. He didn’t find anything unusual about the Ye family.” Xie Jingxing thought for a mont and comforted her, “They’ll be kept on the outer venue and can’t affect the situation inside. Don’t worry.”
When Shen Miao looked at Madam Ye again, Madam Ye had already turned around to talk to other madams. She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and put this thought to the back of her mind for the ti being.
The hunt was about to begin. The people who ca today were all officials of a high status in Long Ye. The officials would join the hunt while their wives and daughters would watch from the side.
Coincidentally, Lu Wan’er was also here today.
Lu Wan’er dressed up carefully. Even her riding clothes were very exquisite, making her look extrely beautiful. If not for Shen Miao, she would probably be the most eye-catching person on this occasion. After all, Consort Jing and Lu Wan’er were sisters. She had been pampered and raised well by the Lu family.
However, with Shen Miao around, she didn’t receive much attention, and her gorgeous outfit was quite out of place. She and Prince Rui didn’t look compatible at all.
On the other hand, there was a strange harmony between Xie Jingxing and Shen Miao. Prince Rui was Emperor Yong Le’s brother after all. He was a true noble. However, Shen Miao was a girl from a military family, but she also had a noble aura and was dignified and beautiful. The atmosphere between the two of them was flawless.
Lu Wan’er did not seem to realize this. She walked up to Shen Miao under everyone’s strange gazes. Although she was talking to Shen Miao, her eyes were glued to Xie Jingxing. Her voice was delicate and sweet.
“Princess Consort, I didn’t expect to et you here today. On the Sumr Banquet, I hit it off with you at first sight. I was just thinking about finding a ti to pay you a visit when I saw you here. What a coincidence.” At this mont, Lu Wan’er was polite to Shen Miao. Her humble attitude and obedient look were nothing like that day at the Sumr Banquet.
As Lu Wan’er spoke, she looked at Xie Jingxing without waiting for Shen Miao to answer. Her beautiful eyes were filled with undisguised love as she said in a soft voice, “Prince Rui, you look very impressive today. I t you once in the palace. At that ti, you even praised for my outstanding Guqin skills. Now that I have practiced hard, I have improved a lot. I wonder when you will have ti to listen to playing Guqin again?”
