In Li Jingxiao's temporary study room, both Li Jingxiao and Gu Qingzhi were there.
Gu Qingzhi said: "Li Jingxing doesn't really believe me. He didn't agree, but he didn't reject it flatly."
Li Jingxiao said: "He has been much more cautious recently. It is normal not to agree."
There would only be a problem if you agreed immediately.
The fact that he didn't refuse directly meant that he was still a little moved. Hesitation was not a problem. He just had to light up the fire a few more times.
Li Jing'an always felt that Li Jingxing was becoming more and more elusive, but judging from Li Jingxing's actions, there seemed to be no evidence that he was wary of the fourth prince.
"This matter is a bit risky, why don't we think about it in the long term?"
Li Jingxiao flatly refused: "No, this is a rare opportunity."
He clearly felt that Gu Qingzhi had lost patience with him. If he still failed this time, Gu Qingzhi was afraid that he would really leave him.
Gu Qingzhi remained silent. She had her own plans, so she did not agree with Li Jing'an's suggestion.
Seeing that neither of them agreed, Li Jing'an had nothing to say.
...
The second day was the first official day of hunting. In order to boost morale, Li Zetian used a bloody horse as a prize to reward the winner today.
With an order, more than thirty people, including seven princes, rushed into the forest.
Queen Chi and Concubine Xian accompanied Li Zetian. Chiyang, Li Jinyan and Wei Lingxi stood on Queen Chi's side. Li Jinyao and the two legitimate daughters of the Prince Protector gathered together and stood on Concubine Xian's side.
Concubine Rou and Concubine Xian had a good relationship on the surface. Before leaving, Concubine Rou asked Concubine Xian to take care of Li Jinyao.
Li Jinyao and Wei Lingxi looked at each other with disgust, but due to Li Zetian's presence, they didn't dare to make any mistakes, and they just flicked each other a few times and that was it.
Li Jingxiao deliberately chose the same route as Li Jingxing. Whenever Li Jingxing aimed at a prey, he would always be the first to strike.
After Li Jingxing endured it three times, he spoke sadly.
"Is the fourth brother going too far?"
Li Jingxiao smiled playfully and said: "As the saying goes, you have a share in seeing, but they don't have the second brother's name written on their heads, right?"
Li Jingxing was so choked that he couldn't speak. He glared at Li Jingxiao fiercely and turned his horse's head in another direction.
Li Jingxiao immediately followed him.
Li Jingxiao kept causing trouble during the whole hunting process, so that Li Jingxing didn't even hunt a hare, and finally returned empty-handed. The same was true for Li Jingxiao.
Li Jing has always behaved erratically, so it was not strange for everyone to come out of the forest empty-handed, but when he saw the calm prince also coming out empty-handed, it was hard not to think more about it.
Li Zetian looked back and forth between his two sons. Li Jingxing's face was cold and solemn, while Li Jingxiao was careless and couldn't see anything unusual. Neither of them planned to explain the situation, so he pretended to know nothing.
They are all married adults. We cannot let him, the father, worry about everything. It is time to learn to deal with it on his own.
Li Jingye undoubtedly won the reward of Li Zetian's bloody horse by virtue of the black bear he hunted with his own hands.
As Li Zetian announced that today's hunting was over, everyone returned to their homes.
Seeing Li Jingxing's pulled face, Chiyang didn't dare to ask any more questions and followed him silently.
On the way back to the yard, he happened to bump into Li Jingxiao again.
Li Jingxiao clasped his fists at Li Jingxing and said with a playful smile: "Thank you, second brother, for your permission."
Li Jingxing's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he walked past him indifferently.
Li Jingxiao looked at the back of Li Jingxing leaving angrily and smiled with great joy.
Li Jingxing went directly back to the bedroom.
Chiyang was afraid that Li Jingxing would lose his temper and make bad moves. He hesitated for a long time and was about to ask. Unexpectedly, Li Jingxing suddenly laughed: "The fourth child deliberately prevented me from hunting prey today. He probably planned to use this to anger me."
Seeing that Li Jingxing could still laugh, Chiyang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness is not really angry?"
Li Jingxing said calmly: "I'm angry, but it won't make me lose my mind."
He will continue to play the role of a good son in the eyes of his father, knowing what he can and cannot do.
Chiyang was completely relieved, it turned out that he was worrying too much again.
.....
After Li Zetian returned to his yard, he still sent someone to inquire about what happened between Li Jingxing and Li Jingxiao. When he learned that Li Jingxiao deliberately made trouble so that Li Jingxing failed to hunt the prey, he remained silent for a long time.
After some hesitation, he finally decided not to intervene.
This may be able to temper the temperament of the second child, and it can also be used to test whether the second child is still as narrow-minded and unyielding as before.
During dinner, the chef in the imperial kitchen made a secret barbecue using game animals. Li Zetian rewarded the officials and Li Jingxing also got a share.
The barbecue was still hot when it was delivered. It was fragrant, tender and full of flavor. Chiyang was very happy to eat it.
Li Jingxing saw that she liked it, so he gave her a few pieces.
Chiyang looked at the extra barbecue in the bowl and was a little flattered. He looked up at Li Jingxing and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, I can do it myself."
[I'm a bitch, don't be too nice to me, or I'll feel uncomfortable. 】
Li Jingxing often felt speechless about Chiyang's brain circuit.
What does it mean to be nice to her and make her feel uncomfortable?
Could it be possible that he would be happy just by glaring at her all day long?
Although Li Jingxing was unhappy in his heart, he did not dare to be cold-faced, for fear that Chiyang would complain in his mind about his uncertainty and moodiness in the next moment.
"I'm full. It's best if you finish it, so as not to waste your father's heart."
Chiyang thought it made sense and nodded repeatedly.
"good!"
Just after dinner, Xiao Fuzi came to report that Gu Qingzhi wanted to see him.
Li Jingxing said to Chiyang, "I'll go see her."
Chiyang nodded and said, "Okay."
[There is still some trust, let’s go Pikachu! 】
Li Jingxing:......
What the hell is Pikachu?
Li Jingxing ordered people to take Gu Qingzhi to the study.
Gu Qingzhi said, "The fourth prince has gone too far to bully others. Do you want to swallow your anger?"
Li Jingxing smiled bitterly and said, "He is the son that my father loves the most. What can I do?"
Gu Qingzhi frowned and said, "Your Highness still doesn't consider my proposal yesterday?"
Li Jingxing shook his head: "This matter is too risky, and it will backfire if you are not careful."
Gu Qingzhi pretended to hesitate for a moment before saying, "What if I just need His Highness to send someone to cooperate with me?"
Li Jingxing looked at Gu Qingzhi curiously, waiting for her next words.
Gu Qingzhi gritted his teeth and said, "I have some people on hand, but they are not enough to kill Li Jingxiao. Your Highness only needs to send a dozen people to help me."
Li Jingxing looked a little hesitant, and Gu Qingzhi added: "If Your Highness helps me get rid of Li Jingxiao, I will still be willing to accompany Your Highness!"
Li Jingxing hesitated for a while, then shook his head.
"Zhi'er, this matter is not urgent. Let's discuss it in the long run."
Gu Qingzhi's eyes suddenly turned red and he said with tears: "Li Jingxiao forced me to be a concubine. He is too much of a bully. I will never let him go! This opportunity is rare and I will not give it up. If your highness figures it out, please feel free to contact me." I, say goodbye!”
After Gu Qingzhi said that, he opened the door and left without looking back.
Li Jingxing shouted anxiously: "Zhi'er!"
