Chapter 38 Provocation
In the camp, several armies came out of the hunting ground one after another, and the guards of the major families greeted them with torches.

The firelight clearly illuminated the team, Xie Yanzhou was riding a white horse, and Shu Ningyou was riding with him.Not only that, Shu Ningyou's skirt was scratched in many places by the branches, and the carefully braided hair was also messed up, with black hair scattered, looking quite embarrassed.

The lady next to her whispered:

"Who is that woman?"

"It seems to be the second lady of the Qinyang Hou Mansion..."

"Qin Yanghou's Mansion? Then isn't she the younger sister of Princess Huaxi?"

Everyone's weird and subtle eyes fell on Shu Yao.Princess Huaxi is notoriously arrogant and domineering, so many people saw her childhood sweetheart and concubine sister together, wouldn't she be furious?
Unexpectedly, Shu Yao didn't pay attention to Xie Yanzhou's side at all, and ran towards a tall brown horse with her skirt in hand.Everyone took a closer look, and immediately saw a strange young man in black, elegant and elegant.He got off his horse and said gently, "Princess."

With the candles flickering out, the handsome young man and the bright young Princess stood together, and there was an indescribable sense of fit.

Shu Yao is used to the feeling of being watched by everyone, so she didn't take their scrutiny seriously at all, and directly pulled Li Mingji back to her tent, asked him to stand in front of her, glanced up and down, and said fiercely: "You guys Why have you been gone for so long? My uncle didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

With Li Mingji's submissive personality, she was really worried about what would happen to him.

"No," Li Mingji said with a slight smile in his eyes, "Mountain roads are difficult to travel at night, but it took some time to find someone, and His Majesty has asked someone to bring back the wolf's body."

The corpses of several wild wolves were right in front of him, and Emperor Yong, who was always kind and kind, couldn't help being furious and ordered someone to investigate the matter thoroughly.As for what can be found, it depends on Emperor Yong himself.

The cleaner the method, the more it proves that the power of the people behind the scenes is overwhelming.Emperor Yong was not a fatuous emperor who easily listened to the slander of his courtiers. With so much information revealed, Li Mingji did not believe that Emperor Yong would do nothing.

Shu Yao still didn't believe it, she glanced at Li Mingji suspiciously, and found that the silk handkerchief she tied was still wrapped around his palm, she frowned, "What about your wound, why haven't you treated it yet?"

Li Mingji said: "There is no time."

The little princess is easily irritable when he is in a hurry, remembering that there is a medicine powder for removing scars and hyperplasia in his tent, he rummaged through the cabinet for a while, finally found a small porcelain bottle, pulled a chair for Li Mingji to sit down, "Sit down, The princess will give you medicine."

Li Mingji said yes meekly.

That wound was nothing at all, but when the horse was tamed earlier, the palm of his hand was also pierced by a dagger, overlapping with the wound from the rein, it looked more ferocious.

Seeing the little princess frowning, carefully tearing open the silk handkerchief that was almost attached to his flesh, as if the wound was not on him, but on Shu Yao, Li Mingji couldn't help laughing, "Princess, don't be so Be careful, just apply a little medicine."

"Stop talking nonsense," Shu Yao snorted, "Do you know that the princess has never served anyone? If you hadn't saved the princess, you wouldn't have been treated like this. This is a reward from the princess."

She had never done this kind of thing at all, the powder was spilled everywhere, and she didn't dare to touch it with her hands, so she could only wipe it carefully, like a cat that only does bad things and hides its tail.

This guilty look is really cute, Li Mingji gently raised the corners of his lips, "Is this the only reward?"

Not enough?What more could he want?
The girl's clear and moist eyes were clearly filled with the words "Don't push yourself too hard", but she still reluctantly said: "Then what do you want? This princess can satisfy you as much as possible."

"I haven't thought of it yet," Li Mingji smiled slightly, his hoarse voice was a little coaxing, "I'll ask the princess for it in a few days, is it okay?"

Shu Yao's earlobe felt hot for no reason, and she said hello with a blushing face.

……

The autumn hunting in Shangyang Mountain lasted for three days, Shu Yao only went to the mountain to hunt on the first day, and spent the rest of the time wandering down the mountain, quite leisurely.

On the afternoon of the third day, the results of the autumn hunting were announced.However, this time the top prize is not Xie Yanzhou, or a noble son of a certain family, but a name that he has never heard of.

——Li Mingji.

These noble children look at me and I look at you, their eyes are full of confusion: who is this?
After waiting for Li Mingji to walk up the steps and accept the "Heroic General" jade order bestowed by Emperor Yong, they realized that this Li Mingji was not some nobleman, but the guard next to Princess Huaxi.

"It is said that he fought fiercely against a pack of wolves and shot five of them to death with his own power..."

"He is so thin, but his riding skills are so good?"

In addition to the jade orders and rewards, Emperor Yong also granted Li Mingji the title of Marquis in front of the palace. His status was second only to that of the chief and deputy commanders. His rank was not high, but he had the power to mobilize guards. He was already a military officer who could enter the court.This award almost broke the tradition of rewarding autumn headhunters with false titles.
Li Mingji undoubtedly became the focus of everyone's discussion. The noble children looked at him with envy and hatred. He kowtowed and thanked him neither humble nor overbearing, and then handed the jade order to Princess Huaxi.

"Participating in the autumn hunting is not the original intention of the subordinates. The duty of the subordinates is to protect the princess," Li Mingji said in a deep voice, "this order should belong to the princess."

Shu Yao reservedly accepted the jade order.

Li Mingji returned to Shu Yao's personal guard team, with a respectful and humble attitude, with deep meaning in his eyes.He was also a manipulator, so he was naturally clear in his heart that Emperor Yong's unconventional behavior seemed to show his love for Shu Yao, but it was actually a compliment to him.

Emperor Yong placed him in a high position, and everyone knew that he was Shu Yao's bodyguard.His official position was due to Shu Yao, and if he had two intentions, Emperor Yong would naturally use this as an excuse to put him in prison.

The night is the celebration feast of autumn hunting.After a few meals of barbecue, Shu Yao was already too tired, so she only tasted a few tokens before going out for a walk.

Li Mingji, as the headhunter of the autumn hunt, was the protagonist of the celebration banquet, so he couldn't leave the banquet halfway like Shu Yao.The group of aristocratic children surrounded him, full of curiosity about this newly-promoted Prince of the Palace.

Most of these noble children have experience in the Dianqian Division. They know that the management of the Dianqian Division is extremely strict, and most of the chief officers are served by courtiers trusted by the emperor. How can Li Mingji, a talented young man with a weak crown, be favored by Emperor Yong?

Emperor Yong really doted on the little princess, and loved the house and Wu for the person she fancied...

Xie Yanzhou came to the crowd with a jar of wine in his arms.

Autumn Hunting was originally a moment when he was proud of his spring breeze, but this time everything went wrong. Xie's family saw that he was separated from Shu Yao, and reprimanded him for a long time.Is it because he doesn't want to make friends with Shu Yao?It's clear that Shu Yao doesn't want to talk to him!

"You can shoot and kill a pack of wolves, so the amount of alcohol is not a problem, right?" Xie Yanzhou glanced at Li Mingji, his tone full of hostility, "Do you dare to compete with this prince?"
