Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 37: Spring Hunt (1)

This was not right.

   Something was wrong.

  Lu Mingyu squinted slightly, her eyes turned towards Lu Fei’s handsome face.

  Lu Fei was seen with a hint of guilt and coughed: “It’s getting late, it’s time to leave. I’ll open the way for you.” After speaking, he kicked the horse’s belly, and the horse ran out.

  Lu Minghua, Lu Mingyue, and Lu Xuan also rode their horses forward. The Lu brothers and sisters have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they are good at riding. Even the gentle and quiet Lu Minghua is also very neat when seating on the horse.

  Lu Mingyu took her eyes away from her brother’s back and smiled at her friend Shen Lan: “Sister Shen, let’s go too!”

   Shen Lan replied with a smile.

   The spring sun was shining brightly, and the warm sunlight fell on Shen Lan’s pretty face, adding a little more beauty.

  The two rode forward together and quickly caught up with Lu Minghua and others.

   Lu Fei, who claimed to be opening the way for everyone, did not know why his horse speed gradually slowed down. It didn’t take long for him to be shoulder-to-shoulder with Lu Mingyu and Shen Lan.

  Lu Mingyu happened to be in the middle, with Shen Lan on the left and Lu Fei on the right.

Lu Fei turned his head and smiled, his dark skin was set against the white teeth: “Xiaoyu, I’ve been leading troops abroad with my father, and it’s been a long time since I rode a horse and hunted in spring. Today, our brother and sister happened to show their skills and compete with each other. What do you say?”

  Lu Mingyu: “…”

  The second brother was talking to her, why did his eyes drift towards Shen Lan?

  Also, Shen Lan, who is generally friendly and talkative, is extraordinarily reserved today, without saying a word, her cheeks are flushed.

  Lu Mingyu glanced at her friend, then turned to Lu Fei with a smile: “Okay! What would you like to bet as prizes?”

  Lu Fei raised his eyebrows and smiled: “Okay. If you win, all the prey you hunt today will be yours. Otherwise, all the prey will be mine.”

   “It’s so interesting.” Lu Mingyu smiled leisurely and made a ruthless move: “If I win, your steed will be mine.”

  Lu Fei has a total of three horses, and Gale is the most powerful horse among them, and it is also Lu Fei’s treasure.

  Lu Fei sucked in a breath: “Fourth sister, you are too cruel. No, I can’t let you win today. Otherwise, Gale will hate me to death.”

   “By the way, if I win, what do you give up as a prize?”

  Lu Mingyu smiled casually and said, “Haven’t you always been envious of my Baoyu? If I lose, I will lend you Baoyu for a month.”

  Lu Fei was amused: “If I lose, I have to give you my horse. If you lose, you will only lend me the Baoyu Sword for a month. Thank you for opening your mouth!”

  Lu Mingyu said confidently: “I can really give you Baoyu, but can you use it?”

  Lu Fei: “…”

   Baoyu is an epee, three inches long and twice as heavy as a normal long sword. Lu Mingyu practiced with the sword for an hour without blushing or panting. If he was to do it, he might not last for half an hour.

   Lu Fei, who was ruthlessly ridiculed, covered his chest with a sad face: “Fourth sister, how can you laugh at your brother like this!”

   This was witty and fun.

   Shen Lan was amused and chuckled.

   Lu Fei’s eyes drifted over again.

   Shen Lan didn’t turn her head to look at Lu Fei, her cheeks and behind her ears warmed quietly.

   Well, spring is here, and the spring is really good.

  Lu Mingyu smiled, and the corners of her mouth curved up.

  …

After riding the horse for more than an hour, they left the inner city and arrived at the western suburbs of the outer city.

  There are mountains, forests and a lake here. It is a good place for spring hunting.

   Such a good day for hunting, there are quite a lot of young girls and young boys traveling on horseback. Before entering the forest, they met an acquaintance.

   The pretty girl in a goose-yellow military uniform is Jin Can’er who has been away for a few days. Another bright girl in a rouge-colored military uniform was Meng Yunluo, the daughter of the Marquis of Guangping.

   On the day of the palace banquet, Jin Can’er and Lu Mingyu had a quarrel and parted ways. As soon as they met today, Jin Can’er immediately put on a disdainful look and snorted from her nose.

  Meng Yunluo tugged at Jin Can’er’s sleeve and said softly, “Look at you, seeing Fourth Miss Lu like this.”

   The sound was not too loud, just enough for Lu Mingyu to hear.

  Lu Mingyu groaned in her heart.

   This Meng Yunluo was quite two-faced; she spoke well seemingly but liked to instigate others.  Jin Can’er was much better than her in this regard. At least she was honest about her jealousy.

  Jin Can’er was pulled over by Meng Yunluo, greeted awkwardly, and said reluctantly, “Since we met by chance, it’s better to walk together.”

  Lu Mingyu glanced at Jin Can’er: “Forget it! I came out on horseback for spring hunting today, just to be happy. I don’t want to see your stinky face.”

  Jin Can’er: “…”

  Jin Caner’s eyes flashed with sparks, and she was very annoyed: “Lu Mingyu! Don’t go too far!”

Lu Mingyu raised her eyebrows and smiled leisurely: “I have an upright temperament, I tell one thing about it, and I don’t like duplicity. What’s too much? Do you like to hear me say ‘yes, yes, yes, yes, I am happy to meet you, let’s go together’ Spring hunting hahaha’?”

  Jin Can’er felt choked again, speechless, her pretty face flushed red.

   Meng Yunluo didn’t mean to help at all and watched the fun with relish.

  The friendship of noble ladies in the capital was so real.

   As usual, Shen Lan smiled and said, “We have a lot of people today, so we don’t have to gather together. Let’s go spring hunting separately. When we have free time in the future, we will travel together again.”

   Meng Yunluo replied with a smile.

   Jin Can’er bit her lip, suddenly approached Lu Mingyu, and whispered quickly, “His Royal Highness the Third Prince was punished by the emperor and is recovering in the palace. Do you know about this?”

   Li Hao was beaten?

   Why didn’t Dad tell her about such a heartwarming thing?

  Lu Mingyu nodded calmly: “So what if I know?”

  Jin Can’er got annoyed again for some reason, and glared at her: “You are so hard-hearted! I’m too lazy to tell you.” Then, she turned around and left.

  Meng Yunluo smiled helplessly and said, “Sister Can’er is just like this, she didn’t mean to target anyone, don’t take it to heart.”

  Lu Mingyu’s gaze swept across Meng Yunluo’s pretentious face.

   In her previous life, Meng Yunluo was the Second Prince’s consort. Lu Mingyu wanted to call her second sister-in-law.

  The husband and wife relationship between Meng Yunluo and the Second Prince was indifferent and respectful to each other. The Third prince and his wife, who were in love as husband and wife, did not know how much others were jealous of them, and they often provoked their pair of husband and wife in front of Queen Qiao secretly.

  The Second Prince died on the battlefield, Li Hao was established as the crown prince, and she became the crown princess. Meng Yunluo was mad with hatred and jealousy and even took advantage of her pregnancy to play tricks on her with an abortion pill.

  Fortunately, she was found out early, and Meng Yunluo’s conspiracy and tricks were of little use and completely in vain.

   Later, Meng Yunluo ended herself with three feet of white silk.

Lu Mingyu raised the corners of her mouth with a smile that was not a smile: “She is arrogant, bad-tempered, and irritating. The ladies of the capital are not quite willing to interact with her, only Miss Meng is. Is it because when compared with Jin Can’er, who no one praises, the Third Miss Meng is automatically praised for having a good temper?”

  Meng Yunluo: “…”
