      For a moment, we had no topic and could only look at each other in silence.

  At this time, a gust of cool wind blew by, I shook my body and sneezed.

  "Brother Jinxing, be careful of catching a cold!" He untied his belt and wanted to take off his coat and put it on me.

  "No, it's not appropriate to be seen." I stopped him.

  "You...you dislike me?" He lowered his eyes, looking hurt.

  "What are you thinking about?" I asked helplessly.

  "That day, I was going to see you off, but I wasted time. I was just behind you, watching you and Qin Ting marching side by side." He accused, his tone full of grievances.

  "I..." I was speechless for a moment. Unexpectedly, he came that day and saw Qin Tingying and I acting ambiguously. I'm not going to explain that he misunderstood for the better.

  "I'm a little cold and want to go inside to take shelter from the wind." I turned around and left, wanting to stimulate him. According to the script, he should call me, pull me into his arms and forcefully kiss me. I kept counting as I walked out, one, two...

  "Brother Jinxing!" He called to me.

  I suppressed the joy in my heart and looked back at him, pretending to be confused: "What's the matter?"

  He didn't step forward to hold me, he just took a deep look at me, and then said: "It's nothing... you... pay attention Body."

  I nodded and continued walking out. Alas, it doesn't seem to be working. I have to do something big.

  I returned to the main hall. At this time, the emperor had left the banquet, and everyone was drinking happily and encouraging each other to drink. I felt it was boring, so I went home.

  I opened the door. There was no candlelight in the courtyard, it was pitch black. The person who would have been sitting on the stone bench waiting for me is no longer here either. Ever since Xu Shen came to my room to express his feelings that night, he never came to my hospital to wait for me again. We both have official duties and cannot see each other during the day. I know he is avoiding me.

  Alas, it's really difficult...

  I sighed, took a shower in a hurry and went to bed. There are currently five people on the stage. It is known that Xu Shen, the emperor and the prince, is interested in me, but they are very affectionate and polite towards me, and they have never made any excessive moves. Xue Yiyang's attitude was unclear and he didn't even have a good impression of me. Then, I can only get close to Xue Yiyang, make others jealous, and break the current deadlock.

  I was thinking carefully until a rooster crow suddenly woke me up. I opened the window. The sun had not yet risen, but the eastern sky was dyed with color. Yes, it is always darkest before dawn, I will never give up!

  Two days later, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the emperor invited his ministers to participate in the autumn hunt. I, Qin Tingying, Xu Shen, and Xue Yiyang are all invited.

  I got up early in the morning, put on a light green riding suit, and stood in Xu Shen's courtyard waiting for him. Xu Shen wore a soap-colored riding attire and looked heroic. He looked nothing like a civil servant who sat in front of a desk for a long time. He was a little surprised to see me standing at the door.

  "Morning, brother, let's go to Shanglin Garden together!" I actively invited.

  He stood there, at a loss. He must have not expected that I would take the initiative to find him. Between us, he always takes the initiative to seek me out. He always pampered me and pampered me before. So this time, he thought I would give him the cold shoulder because he deliberately distanced himself from me.

  I stepped forward, put my arm around his shoulders, and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

  "Nothing, let's go have a meal together." He shook his head and went to the middle hall with me.

  He served me a bowl of porridge and took a steamed cake for himself, but he didn't eat it, he just stared blankly. This look really doesn't look like the minister of Dali Temple who knows everything like a god.

  "Brother?" I knocked on the table lightly and reminded.

  He just woke up from a dream, put down the steamed cake, and said to me: "By the way, I received a reply from Qingzhou. The letter said that the Chen family has a daughter who is waiting to be married..."

  He didn't finish his words, but I had already Got what he meant. My expression didn't change, so I just asked him: "Really? When do you plan to go to Qingzhou to propose marriage?"

  He looked at me, with a flash of pain in his eyes, and said with difficulty: "On the eighth day of next month."

  "Okay, I'll go with you then." I stirred the porridge he served me with a spoon.

  "I can go alone." He didn't want me to go.

  "Brother, you are the only relative I have. How can I turn a blind eye to the important events in your life?" I poured out my heart, and I meant every word sincerely.

  His eyelashes fluttered, but he still agreed to my request.

  Since he mentioned this disappointing thing, I lost my appetite. I only drank a few mouthfuls of white porridge and then went out with him.

  When we arrived at Shanglinyuan, Xu Shen separated from me and went to find his colleagues. He didn't want to spend any more time with me. If I hadn't heard his voice that night, I would have even suspected that he hated me.

  I felt depressed and rode to find the emperor. After all, the emperor still has a vicious eye. Although I didn't show it in front of him, he could tell at a glance that I was in a bad mood.

  "Xu Qing, how about we have a competition today?" He coaxed me softly.

  "Your Majesty, how can we compare?" He was willing to condescend and coax me, so naturally I had to give him face and pretend to be surprised.

  He glanced at his personal attendant, who clapped his hands, causing the ministers to look this way.

  The ministers came to him, dismounted and stood still.

  "Today we have an autumn hunting competition. Whoever shoots the most prey will come out on top, and I will be rewarded heavily!" he said loudly.

  After hearing this, the ministers cheered for a while and then dispersed.

  "Xu Qing, you have to play well." He handed me a bow with his own hands.

  I took it with both hands, thanked him, and then rode away into the dense forest. Before I entered officialdom, I loved riding and archery the most. I am determined to win this competition.

  There was a hare not far away. I reined in my horse and was about to shoot at it, but the hare had already been shot. I followed the direction of the arrow and looked, it was Xue Yiyang. He glanced at me, then bent down to pick up the rabbit and walked away.

  He didn't say a word, but I felt his contempt and disdain. General Xue, it seems I'm going to show you what I'm capable of! I quickly followed him, planning to fight him.
