Chapter 127 Could it be that he has feelings for you?
Lu Shangfeng glanced at the blood-stained robe, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes, and casually tossed it to a guard beside him.
The guard beside him watched Tuoba Feiyuan's departing figure and sneered coldly, "Does she really think she's someone important? She even dares to refuse your invitation, Your Highness. Who gives her any face!"
"It doesn't matter."
Lu Shangfeng had his own ideas.
"I've heard that this desert flower's horsemanship and archery skills are unmatched. Look at her just now, even Lao Wu couldn't catch up with her. Her horsemanship is probably truly unparalleled among the girls."
"Does Your Highness mean that you wish to invite her to join our Prince Ning's autumn hunting party?"
Every year during the autumn hunting season, the Prince Jin's team always wins because General Chu from the Duke's Mansion joins their side.
In fact, although there was no explicit rule from the Emperor, everyone knew that every year during the autumn hunt, whichever prince's team won would have the Dragon Guard's token fall into that prince's hands.
The Emperor's meaning was clear: the Imperial Guard could not belong to any one prince, for fear that one prince might become too powerful in the capital.
Therefore, the token can change hands at any time.
However, in recent years, it has been under the control of Prince Jin, and now the guard work in the capital is all handled by Prince Jin's mansion.
This year, Prince Jin had a falling out with the Duke's Mansion, so it seems unlikely that General Chu will join Prince Jin's team. However, he now has a new addition: the Desert Flower.
If Tuoba Feiyuan joins the Prince Jin's faction, the Prince Jin's faction still has a great chance of winning.
But now it seems they are fighting amongst themselves.
Lu Shangfeng smiled and said, "If we can obtain this desert flower, perhaps the Dragon Guard's token will truly change hands this year."
"However, it seems that girl has gone after Prince Jin." Without Chu Xiaohe, but with the addition of Tuoba Feiyuan, Prince Jin's team may not necessarily lose this year.
"Even with the stunningly beautiful Chu Yueli around, they might not be able to truly reconcile."
Lu Shangfeng was in a good mood today: "Let's go to the Duke's mansion."
……
Chu Yueli took Tuoba Liuli on a tour of the capital, and after sending Tuoba Liuli back to the palace in the evening, she returned to the Duke's mansion.
As soon as she returned, a servant came to report, "Miss, Prince Ning has arrived and has been waiting for you for half a day."
"Wait for me?" Chu Yueli frowned. She didn't have much of a relationship with Prince Ning, so why would he wait for her?
Chu Yue arrived at the hall, where Lu Shangfeng and Chu Xiaohe were still drinking tea.
As she entered, her graceful figure seemed to stir up a gentle breeze from outside.
Even Lu Shangfeng, who was used to seeing all kinds of beauties, couldn't help but be amazed.
"Ah Li is back? Come quickly and greet Prince Ning." Chu Xiaohe immediately stood up to greet him.
Chu Yueli walked over slowly and bowed slightly to Lu Shangfeng: "Greetings, Your Highness."
Lu Shangfeng nodded and replied, "Miss Li, please have a seat."
He is a prince. Although he is a guest, his status is high, and he is the host when he arrives.
Chu Yueli sat down next to her brother, not participating in their conversation, but simply keeping him company.
The Prince of Ning's residence sent gifts, some of which were said to be from the Prince of Ning's mother, Consort Rou.
Lu Shangfeng and Chu Xiaohe were talking about the autumn hunting party. Lu Shangfeng wanted to invite Chu Xiaohe to join his team, but Chu Xiaohe said that the Duke was not feeling well recently and had to take care of his grandfather this year, so he might not be able to attend the hunting party.
After this back and forth, Lu Shangfeng couldn't force him, so he just told Chu Xiaohe to think it over carefully and left before nightfall.
The brother and sister personally saw off the Ning Prince's entourage. Looking at the large group of people, Chu Xiaohe felt inexplicably anxious.
"It feels a bit inappropriate for Prince Ning to come with such a grand display of gifts. Ali, what is he thinking?"
Why send such a lavish gift just to invite him to join the Prince Ning's faction? This display of generosity inexplicably reminded him of two words: betrothal!
Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.
"Ah Li, could it be that he... has feelings for you?"
