I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 117: You are also my hometown

It had rained the night before, but the next day was a bright and sunny day.

The sunlight shone through the clouds onto the grassland, and the black mud under the lush grass emitted a strong earthy smell.

The summer heat was at its peak in Changfeng Weichang.

The carriages rolled over the soft and moist soil one after another, entering the outer periphery of the hunting grounds in an orderly manner.

Tomorrow was the day when the hunt would officially begin.

Therefore, the nobles got off their carriages and only stood outside the tents to take a few distant glances before sighing and praising, and then they took their families into the tents.

In fact, their action of seeking shelter from the heat was already considered fast enough.

But it was still not as quick as someone else's. While everyone was still standing there, Ye Suyu had already lifted the tent curtain and let Xiao Jin and Chu Shao in.

Empress Shu was slightly surprised and whispered to the two people beside her, "So many people are watching, but Jin'er was the first one to enter the tent. It's a bit inappropriate."

Princess Zhao Hua frowned and took the silk handkerchief handed to her by her maid, wiping the sweat on her neck.

She then looked at Xiao Shuang standing beside her and said dissatisfiedly, "Sister, ever since Jin'er got married, she has become even more wilful. Even if the Emperor hasn't arrived yet, how could she enter the tent ahead of us... I wonder how many more rumors will come out of this."

Xiao Shuang touched the bracelet on her wrist but remained silent.

"In fact, Jin'er is not a spoilt person. She's probably just afraid of getting sunburned," the Empress Shu said, looking at Xiao Shuang's expression and tentatively persuading her.

Xiao Shuang had no expression on her face. Upon hearing this, she suddenly laughed, "Is that so?"

"Judging from her behavior, she probably just doesn't want to be too hot," Empress Shu said.

....

It had to be said that Xiao Shuang's guess was correct.

Xiao Jin was already feeling hot even before they arrived at Changfeng Weichang.

She endured the heat and forced herself to lift the curtain to take a look outside, trying to divert her attention.

However, the fact proved that her attempt to distract herself had failed.

She was wearing several layers of clothes and there was no air conditioning in the carriage.

Xiao Jin couldn't imagine what sin she had committed in her previous life to be forcefully kidnapped and taken hunting on a hot summer day.

Chu Shao and Xiao Jin shared a carriage. Seeing the sweat on Xiao Jin's forehead, Chu Shao couldn't help but smile and ask, "Your Highness, are you feeling hot?"

Xiao Jin turned her head, her face full of "Don't you feel hot?"

Xiao Jin didn't reply immediately, because she suddenly realized that Chu Shao seemed to not be hot at all.

Chu Shao was still dressed in a white robe, with layers of sleeves and dark silver embroidery of flowing water patterns.

Although it wasn't particularly complicated, it looked quite hot.

However, Chu Shao seemed to not feel the heat at all, as she didn't wipe her sweat with a handkerchief. She just smiled at Xiao Jin, as if she was her in a jar of cool water, his eyes icy cool.
