Su Cheng turned to look in the direction of the pergola. Emperor Jing Xuan was chatting happily with the Princess of Western Jin and was not paying attention to them at all.
Bai Xihe said calmly, “I can’t instruct a deputy commander of the Imperial
Guards, right?”
Su Cheng said in his heart, “No.”
He hung the quiver on his saddle and mounted. He called another man to take his post while he led Bai Xihe into the forest.
Little Yunzi followed behind the two of them silently.
As the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, Su Cheng had long scouted the path in the forest in advance to ensure the safety of this hunt. He did not bring Bai Xihe deeper and only wandered around the periphery.
Neither of them said anything, like a real ruler and minister.
Bai Xihe looked at his back and pinched the reins. She said calmly, “Commander Su, are you planning to never talk to me again?”
Little Yunzi lowered his head.
Su Cheng said, “I wouldn’t dare.”
Bai Xihe said, “I think you’re very bold.”
Su Cheng couldn’t answer.
“I’m thirsty,” Bai Xihe said.
Su Cheng casually untied the water bag at his waist and planned to turn around and hand it to her. Halfway through, he remembered that he had drunk this before and immediately put away the water bag.
“I’ll get you some water.”
There was spring water nearby and a wild lotus pond.
Bai Xihe looked at his fleeing appearance and said coldly, “Commander Su, aren’t you afraid of encountering danger if you leave me here alone?”
“Uh…” Su Cheng scratched his head.
Bai Xihe thought that he would hand over the water bag, but he said seriously, “Then, let’s go together.”
Bai Xihe was speechless.
The three of them came to the spring. Su Cheng went to the wild lotus pond to pick lotus leaves. In the countryside, they often used lotus leaves to fill the water, which was better than ordinary leaves.
Bai Xihe didn’t drink much.
Right on the heels of that, the few of them returned to the forest to hunt. Coincidentally, the three of them encountered the Princess of Western Jin and the young Princess of Western Jin.
The young Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty had originally played with the Sihu with Princess Hui An, but Sihu was still young and easily tired.
The young Princess of the Western Jin was bored, so she wanted to come to the forest to hunt. The princess of the Western Jin could not dissuade her, so she came in with her.
Moxie came with them but went to chase after the little rabbit.
“Your Highness, Little Princess,” Su Cheng greeted politely.
The Princess of Western Jin nodded slightly. “Grand Empress Dowager, Commander Su.”
Bai Xihe had a calm expression.
The young Princess of the Western Jin blinked and looked at Su Cheng. “Are you Qin Su’s father?”
“Yes,” Su Cheng replied.
The young princess of Western Jin was on good terms with her daughter, so Su Cheng treated her more patiently than others.
The young Princess of Western Jin asked, “Have you seen Qin Su? I want to look for her.”
The case was solved. The little girl was not here to hunt at all. She was here to play with Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Cheng said, “I haven’t seen her since I came in.”
“I see.” The young princess of the Western Jin was disappointed.
The weather was not good. The sky was clearly clear just now, but the sky suddenly darkened. Not long after, it started to rain heavily.
The group could only go to the nearby cave to hide.
“Can Moxie find us?” the young Princess of the Western Jin asked.
The Princess of Western Jin stroked her wet hair. “Yes, I can. I left a mark for him.”
The young Princess of Western Jin was hungry and kept cooing.
They had hunted two rabbits just now, but unfortunately, the two of them did not know how to handle it.
Su Cheng took the rabbit out. When he returned, he was soaked in rain, but the rabbit meat had also been cleaned up.
There was some wood and withered grass in the cave. He tidied up the fire and skewered the rabbit with a branch before roasting it.
“Wow, it smells so good.” The young Princess of Western Jin drooled and squatted down beside Su Cheng. “So you know how to roast rabbits. You’re really amazing!”
Su Cheng had been scolded in the village since he was young and was rarely praised. Once he was praised, he felt embarrassed. “This, this is nothing. I learned it in the countryside.”
The young Princess of Western Jin said carefreely, “There are many things to learn in the countryside. I want to go to the countryside too!”
Su Cheng almost couldn’t answer. “The young princess is also very powerful.”
He regretted it after saying that. If the little girl asked her how she was amazing, he would not be able to make it up.
“They often praise me for being amazing, but I think they don’t praise me as well as you.”
She did not know what magical filter she had brought, but she found Su Cheng very pleasing to the eye.
When the smaller rabbit was roasted, Su Cheng cut it open with a knife. After confirming that it was roasted inside, he tore off a piece of rabbit leg and handed it to her.
The young princess took a bite and her eyes lit up. “It’s so delicious! It’s better than Moxie’s roast!”
She snorted and finished a rabbit leg in the blink of an eye.
However, she was still not full.
Su Cheng tore off another one for her.
She was not as hungry as before. As she ate, she spoke to Su Cheng, but her first sentence shocked him. “Do you want to be my father?”
Su Cheng choked.
The Princess of the Western Jin Dynasty did not have a husband; there was only a minister under her skirt. No one knew who the father of the young princess of the Western Jin Dynasty was.
“Xin’er,” the Princess of Western Jin said calmly.
The young Princess of the Western Jin turned to look at her. “Mother, I like him. If he becomes my father, Qin Su will be my sister. I can play with Qin Su every day! Qin Su has Sihu and Wuhu. She must have Dahu, Erhu, and Sanhu at home. They will definitely be especially interesting. ” “It’s Xiaohu…” Su Cheng corrected in his heart.
In addition, one had to have nine lives to play with them.
Bai Xihe’s expression under the veil darkened.
The Princess of Western Jin glanced at Bai Xihe as her gaze landed on Su Cheng’s handsome face.
“This is the first time Xin’er told me that she wants a father. Are you willing to follow me back to Western Jin and be my consort?” Su Cheng choked again.
Were all the adults and children of the Western Jin so bold?
Bai Xihe said calmly, “If he becomes the consort, does Your Highness plan to die alone, or continue to raise the masculinity in your residence?”
The Princess of the Western Jin asked bluntly, “In what capacity are you asking me? Is it as the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou, or a jealous woman?” Su Cheng’s hand trembled.
Bai Xihe had been the Grand Empress Dowager for so many years for nothing. She did not panic at all after being exposed.
She said seriously, “Commander Su is the Protector Duke of the Great Zhou. His marriage is both a family matter and a state matter.”
The Princess of the Western Jin said neither servile nor overbearing, “Then I’ll go find His Majesty of the Great Zhou to arrange a marriage. I believe he’ll be very happy to reconcile with the Western Jin.”
Bai Xihe sneered. “How shameless are you to ask for the heir of the Qin family’s army?”
The Princess of Western Jin replied with a mocking smile. “Is it more honorable to bestow a marriage to the Empress Dowager of the royal family?” This was completely cutting through the paper.
The young princess did not understand what they were talking about. She turned on the fire and ignored it, burying her head in the rabbit meat.
Su Cheng tore off another rabbit leg.
Bai Xihe and the Princess of the Western Jin reached out to him at the same time..
