"It's a pity that you didn't come hunting today."
The weather had been good these days, so the youth had asked Hua Yuan out to hunt with him. However, Hua Yuan had been troubled by the looting of rations and could only decline the youth's invitation. The youth was disappointed, but he also understood that business was more important. He didn't dare to act recklessly.
Ever since An Cui's side wife had gotten pregnant, the youth could clearly feel that his father treated him differently. For example, during this war, as the heir who was about to reach adulthood, he had been left behind. It was said to be for protection, but honestly, did he need such protection in troubled times?
A few years ago, the youth had gone to Dongqing with his master, Hua Yuan, to seek an alliance. At that time, there was no mention of protection. Why did An Cui suddenly say "protection" when he was about to reach adulthood? On the surface, it was protection, but in reality, it was weakening the relationship between the youth and An Cui's subjects. The youth wasn't stupid. He naturally realized it. However, he couldn't tell anyone about it. He could only suppress it in his heart.
As an idler, and also to show his father how harmless he was, he had been addicted to hunting and pleasure.
His master, Hua Yuan, had even lectured him seriously.
"Don't be addicted to pleasure and neglect your studies and government affairs."
The youth could only smile bitterly. He didn't dare look up at Hua Yuan's disappointed eyes.
He hadn't grown his wings yet and could only rely on An Cui. Even a sneeze from An Cui made his heart jump and his thoughts run wild.
The only fortunate thing was that his master, Hua Yuan, was the only person who had maintained a normal attitude toward him after the incident.
Because they were rare, they were precious.
The youth saw how Hua Yuan treated him, so he naturally trusted and respected him even more.
He looked at the prey hanging from the horse's back and seemed to think of something. The corners of his lips curled involuntarily, and his eyes curved into two crescent moons. His clear eyes were filled with a smile. He was very good-looking. Even though he still looked a little young, his bearing had already been developed.
Anyone who saw such an outstanding youth in the wilderness would probably think that they had seen a beautiful spirit.
"I'm lucky today."
This wasn't a good season for hunting. The prey had just survived winter and were skinny, not as plump as they were in autumn.
However, the prey today were all good. Their fur was smooth and beautiful. The youth planned to pick the best and give it to Hua Yuan.
The servant who served the youth cursed his bad luck.
He mumbled, "How is it good luck? We've been completely drenched … "
The youth looked up at the rainwater dripping down from the eaves, brushing the moss green. Although the weather was not beautiful at this time, it did not affect the youth's bright mood. He said with a smile, "It's raining and we've already come across a wooden hut. Isn't that good?"
When hunters went hunting in the mountains, those who were lucky could go and return on the same day. Those who were unlucky had to wait patiently in the mountains for a few days.
For the sake of convenience, they would build this kind of temporary shelter, and passersby could also rest here.
The young man was in a good mood and did not feel that the rain was inappropriate.
The attendant untied the wineskin from the back of the horse and handed it to the youth with both hands.
"Young Master, drink some wine to warm up your body, lest you catch a cold."
The rain came suddenly. Even though everyone found shelter as fast as they could, they were still wet. Their clothes and hair were wet.
The young man was of high status. If he fell sick because his attendants did not take good care of him, the attendants accompanying him would be in trouble.
The attendant saw the young man take the wineskin and gulp it down. Only then did he feel relieved and turn around to fetch a clean set of clothes.
Although the wooden hut was small, it had all the essentials. There was also a lot of dry firewood in the house, just enough to make a fire and boil water for the young man to bathe.
The young man waved his hand and said, "Put the clothes aside. I'll change later. I don't want to move now."
"Yes!"
The attendant put the clothes where the young man could reach out his hand and respectfully stepped back to guard nearby.
He did not know whether it was because his alcohol tolerance was too poor, or because the wine today was especially fragrant, but the young man finished the wineskin in a few mouthfuls. His white jade-like cheeks were slightly tipsy, and the drunkenness rushed to his head. Not long after, his white jade-like cheeks were covered with a thin layer of red, and his whole body exuded the unique youthful spirit of a young man. He did not care at first, but soon noticed something strange. A familiar yet strange hot wave spread from inside to outside, making his skin hot and red. He could not help but raise his hand to loosen his clothes to cool down.
This feeling …
The young man was a little angry.
"What's with this wine?"
The attendant heard the commotion and rushed over. Hearing the young man's question, he was shocked.
"Young Master, wasn't this wine given by Master Hua Yuan?"
The young man suddenly remembered something, and his expression became slightly unnatural.
It turned out that this wine was found by the young man's concubine from somewhere and given to the young man.
The young man knew that it was rare wine, so he gave it to Hua Yuan. Hua Yuan had been busy with the military rations recently and had not rested for several days. He was not in the mood to taste the wine, so he asked the young man to pack most of the wine back. In other words, this problematic wine should have been done by the young man's concubine. Thinking of this, the young man's cheeks burned like a burning cloud. He was ashamed, angry, and hateful …
The women in the Inner Residence would really do anything to be favored.
Fortunately, the teacher did not drink it. If he did, he might make a fool of himself.
The young man's face turned pale, then green, then purple, and finally black.
The attendant was a very discerning person. He did not know what had happened, but it did not prevent him from taking the opportunity to flatter the young man.
He said flatteringly, "I see that the young master looks tired. Why don't you go in and rest?"
The young man felt uncomfortable, but he nodded in agreement.
Just as he was about to get up, his body suddenly froze on the spot. He did not know whether he should get up or not. It was very awkward.
He had been dreaming since he was thirteen. Two years ago, his father An Cui had prepared two intelligent and beautiful concubines for him to learn about human relationships.
With these experiences, he naturally knew what the changes in his body meant. He immediately became even more embarrassed.
He unnaturally tightened his legs. However, he was dressed more professionally today, so the reaction under his abdomen was slightly more obvious.
The attendant's sharp eyes saw the small tent under his abdomen and understood.
The young man was extremely embarrassed. He ran into the farmhouse as if he was escaping and slammed the door shut.
This kind of farmhouse was a place for hunters to rest. The environment was simple, but it could shelter them from the wind and rain.
There were guards outside, so ordinary hunters could not enter. The young man glanced at his abdomen, and his face became even more ashen.
The attendant was a clever person. He asked in a low voice, "Young Master, do you want to call for someone?"
"We'll see. There's no need for now."
The young man replied in a hoarse voice. Even his breath was hot.
The accompanying attendants were all men in their teens or twenties. There were no women.
