Xuexue smiled and said loudly, "As long as Second Sister doesn’t mind that her elder sister cos from a peasant background."
Everyone heard this clearly. Indeed! When Situtu Qinger hadn’t had her incident, she often spoke ill of Situtu Xueer, even saying that a peasant like Situtu Xueer didn’t deserve to live under the sa roof as her.
Upon hearing this, Situtu Qinger’s face turned a series of colors from green to pale, quite a spectacle.
"As long as Eldest Sister doesn’t mind , it’s not my place to mind Eldest Sister."
Xuexue’s smile faded, and she said coldly, "If you don’t mind, then co along."
After saying this, she didn’t care how Situtu Qinger reacted and turned to leave, as if to say, co if you want, if not, then so be it.
Situtu Qinger’s expression changed slightly but ultimately said nothing, and followed with her head lowered.
Today, her reputation and virtue were completely ruined. If she didn’t learn to swallow her grievances, her life would truly be over.
Watching their departing figures, so straightforward noblewon spat in their direction...
"Situtu Qinger really is a double-dealer. She used to always speak ill of her elder sister, and now that she’s fallen from grace, she still has the nerve to cozy up to others."
"That’s right, she said the Eldest Young Lady wasn’t a good person. I think she’s the one who’s not a good person!"
"Being siblings with soone like that is truly unlucky."
The Imperial Hunting Ground was vast, surrounded by dozens of continuous mountains.
Magnificent fortresses were built around the outskirts of Lingxiu Mountain, convenient for the masters to reside. These fortresses also had another purpose, to prevent attacks by large beasts.
After all, the safety of the masters is of utmost priority.
At this mont, on the lawn in front of the fortress, a crowd gathered, all attentively listening to The Emperor speak.
Having not strolled around for a long ti, The Emperor seed very excited and said to the Princes, "Since we’ve co to the hunting ground, how about we have a competition?"
All the Princes wanted to attract The Emperor’s attention and imdiately agreed.
The Second Prince eagerly said, "Imperial Father, you give us the task, what shall we compete in?"
Feeling confident in his martial arts skills, he intended to show off in front of The Emperor. Although he wasn’t good at academics, his martial arts were excellent, far from being useless.
All the Princes eagerly looked at The Emperor and spoke in unison, "Imperial Father, please give us a task."
Seeing the Princes so enthusiastic, The Emperor felt gratified, thinking that indeed his Imperial Sons were the best among n.
After so contemplation, The Emperor raised his head and said, "Since we are at the hunting ground, let’s compete in hunting. Within two hours, whoever hunts the most will be the winner, and you shall be heavily rewarded."
The Second Prince, hearing this, grinned widely. His Imperial Father was clearly favoring him, because, among the Princes, apart from him and the Fourth Prince, the others’ martial arts were flashy but impractical.
Normally, when they sparred with the servants, the servants naturally wouldn’t dare to be serious with them, always letting them have their way, so they thought they were very skilled with just a few moves.
The Second Prince truly had talent in martial arts and had a very clear understanding.
These Imperial Brothers of his practiced flashy and impractical martial arts.
Moreover, they were pampered since childhood, so their physical strength was naturally weaker.
Hunting was a labor-intensive activity, requiring martial skill; with high martial skill, the more one could hunt.
So, the Second Prince cast a glance at the Fourth Prince, seeing him as his only competitor, while the others were not worth worrying about.
The Emperor instructed an eunuch to place a long incense stick in an incense burner to mark the ti. Once the incense stick burned out, the competition would end. Then, they would tally the ga, and whoever had the most would be the champion and receive a reward from The Emperor.
