Chapter 12 - I Want a Fawn (2/2)

“You made a guess?” Consort Ming imitated Hua Qingxin’s tone and repeated her words.

The crowd burst into laughter.

Li Zhuozhuo sneered, “I guess there are wild boars.”

“If there are, I’ll catch one for you to keep.” Hua Qingxin deliberately changed the topic and distracted others’ attention. She teased Li Zhuozhuo, “Then you can ride your wild boar to meet the emperor every day.”

“Ronghua Hua, don’t be so haughty because His Majesty likes you!”

As others were snickering, Hua Qingxin didn’t care about Li Zhuozhuo’s swearing anymore. She was a little bit relieved that she was not suspected. The next day after breakfast, Yun Cang rushed to take Hua Qingxin out for hunting.

Prince Yunhai and his men has waited outside the camp. The emperor had intended to send Eunuch Ling to lead her, but now he just walked into the camp and carried her on his shoulder. No matter how she shouted, he didn’t put her down.

That had been awkward enough, but now seeing Prince Yunhai standing outside there, she was so embarrassed. She knew Prince Yunhai well. Would such a proud man accept a woman who had given her chastity to his brother?

Somehow, Hua Qingxin just felt that Yunhai and her were getting more distant from each other.

They rode across the wood. All the way she pulled a long face and occasionally glanced at Prince Yunhai, who would never look at her. Even if he was talking with the emperor, he managed to avoid her eyes.

“Honey, do you like it?” Yun Cang held the rein and tried to talk with her.

Hua Qingxin replied sulkily, “Your Majesty, I know how to ride.”

Yuncang carried her up and took her out of the camp, threw her on his horse. And they rode the same horse all along the journey.

The more Yuncang showed off his favor of her, the more panicked she felt. Her future with Yun Cang and Yunhai just became more complicated.

Yun Cang didn’t know what this beauty in his arms was thinking about, but he was happy, as she finally asked him for something. So, he would spare no efforts to fulfill her demand.

Yun Cang, who was stiff and cautious when they first met, now acted like a child. He cuddled Hua Qingxin’s waist proudly and whispered with a determined tone, “No, I won’t let you go through any dangers alone. You have to be protected by me.”

Though Hua Qingxin was not in a good mood, she was amused by his words, “Your Majesty, does Consort Ming know that you’re really good at sweet talking?”

“About that…” Yuncang kissed her ear and whispered, “You’re the only one that can hear my sweettalk.”

A pleasure of numbness swept her body. She was somewhat touched but panicked.

Suddenly, Prince Yunhai, who was riding fast ahead, pulled his rein and shouted, “Your Majesty, look! Fawns!
