"Why haven't you got rid of your fear of blood?" Lu Xiangzhi teased her and looked her up and down again. He whispered in her ear, "Yao Yao, I find that you look a lot better today. It seems that the water in the capital really nourishes you."
Ye Zhen glared at him. "I am a great beauty."
Lu Xiangzhi laughed. "Let's go, brother will take you hunting."
"Ahem." Lu Lingzhi coughed lightly to remind them not to be too complacent. There were still people watching them.
His eyes fell on Ye Zhen. It seemed that his sister had never smiled at him like this. It was the kind of smile that came from the heart. At this time, she looked bright and brilliant. Even if her skin was not white enough, it still made people reluctant to move their eyes away from her face.
"Big brother, you are here, too." Lu Xiangzhi saluted. "I will take Yao Yao to hunt over there. I will not disturb you."
"Yanzhi, isn't this your cousin?" Tang Zhen looked at Ye Zhen. If he heard correctly, this little girl called Lu Xiangzhi brother?
Lu Lingzhi remembered that he had not introduced his younger brother. "At this time, my fourth brother and third sister have just returned from the Border City."
"Sister?" Tang Zhen's eyes lit up and he immediately looked at Ye Zhen with a smile. "Third Miss Lu, good horsemanship and archery!"
The smile on Ye Zhen's mouth converged a little and she curtsied. "I've let the young masters see a joke."
"Third sister, shall we have a competition?" Tang Zhen called Ye Zhen 'sister' as if they were close friends.
Ye Zhen smiled and turned to look at Lu Xiangzhi. She was just a girl in the boudoir. In the face of such an unruly invitation, she naturally had to ask her brother to come forward.
Unfortunately … Lu Xiangzhi's impression of Yao Yao never cared about these customs. He only thought that his sister wanted to participate but was afraid of being scolded by her mother when she returned.
"It's okay, brother will accompany you. Let them see that we can't be underestimated in the Border City." Lu Xiangzhi and Ye Zhen blinked. When they were in the Border City, they often went out to compete with others in hunting without telling the Pei family.
"…" Ye Zhen glared at him. She didn't mean that at all. What's the point of competing with these people? She had no interest at all.
Lu Lingzhi smiled and said, "Yaoyao, let's have a match with him."
Ye Zhen glanced at Tang Zhen faintly. She was not blind. Naturally, she saw that this Tang Zhen wanted to deliberately please her and approach her. "A competition is fine, but what is the prize?"
"What does Third Sister want?" Tang Zhen asked with a smile.
"Don't call me sister, my brother is here." Ye Rou coldly scolded, extremely disgusted with Tang Zhen's rudeness.
Tang Zhen was not annoyed. "Yanzhi and I are sworn brothers. His sister is naturally my sister."
Ye Zhen looked at him coldly. Suddenly, she saw the silver whip on his waist. Her eyes flashed with a faint light. "If I win, you will lose this silver whip to me."
"What if you lose?" Tang Zhen didn't expect this girl's eyes to be so good. She saw his silver whip at a glance. It was not so easy to get a treasure. There was only one in the world.
Ye Rou chuckled. "I'm just a weak girl. What's so strange about losing to you? You have the nerve to ask me for something."
"…" Tang Zhen was speechless. He felt that the little girl's words were quite reasonable.
The others laughed and said that Ye Zhen spoke very well.
In fact, Ye Zhen didn't know these people, at least in her lifetime, she had never seen them, but she knew that these people were the most trusted by Mo Rongzhan.
In addition to Lu Lingzhi, who would be put in an important position in the future, Tang Zhen was also someone she often saw in the palace at that time. His achievements were above Lu Lingzhi's.
Tang Zhen smiled bitterly. "Yanzhi, your sister is too eloquent."
Lu Lingzhi smiled. "Then, do you still dare to compete?"
It would be shameful to say no at this moment. Tang Zhen laughed. "Third Sister, Brother Tang will let you shoot three arrows, okay? Whoever shoots the sika deer first wins. "
"Okay." Ye Zhen nodded and turned over her horse again. "Then I'll go first."
Lu Lingzhi frowned as he watched Ye Zhen's figure disappear into the woods. "Fourth Brother, don't follow her. Third Sister is not familiar with this place."
He ordered Lu Xiangzhi, but he had already ridden his horse to chase after Ye Zhen.
Tang Zhen looked ahead with a smile. The people next to him came over and asked him with a smile, "You got this silver whip from the emperor with great difficulty. Are you really willing to give it to that little girl?"
"Although the silver whip is precious, isn't the little girl precious?" Tang Zhen imagined the appearance of the girl holding the silver whip. It was absolutely valiant and he didn't know how beautiful it would be.
"Go, go, let's go and see." Someone urged, unable to wait to know if Third Miss Lu could win against Tang Zhen.
Lu Lingzhi caught up with Ye Zhen and turned to her. "Third Sister, the deeper you go in this forest, the more dangerous it will be. You can't ignore your own safety for a moment of victory or defeat."
Ye Zhen was too lazy to pay attention to him. She was familiar with this place. She used to come here with her father and second brother to hunt. Thinking of her father and second brother, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. She hated Lu Lingzhi even more. Lu Lingzhi was beside her.
"If big brother is worried about danger, you don't have to follow me. My brother is here." Ye Zhen said with a cold face.
Lu Xiangzhi, who had just arrived, heard her words. His face changed slightly and he scolded her, "Yao Yao, how are you talking to your big brother?"
Lu Lingzhi waved his hand. "Third sister is still young." He looked at Ye Zhen's unhappy profile. "Big brother just cares about you, nothing else."
Ye Zhen pressed down the hatred in her chest and pulled the reins to continue running deeper.
"Big brother, Yao Yao has a little temper. Others say west, but she will go east …" Lu Xiangzhi said a good word for his sister.
Lu Lingzhi nodded to show his understanding. "I know, you watch her carefully."
He could already feel his third sister's dislike of him. Was it because he didn't let her go to the women's college, so she was angry with him?
He didn't know if she noticed how reluctant she was when she called him big brother, but when she called Lu Xiangzhi brother, she was affectionate and delicate. That was what a sister should be like.
Watching Ye Zhen running farther and farther, Lu Lingzhi hurriedly followed. Why does she seem to be familiar with this place? Is this her first time here?
