I Am This Type of Woman - Chapter 12

 With the guards clearing the way, after Emperor Yun Qing hunted down a prey, the hunting activity officially began.

"Junjun." A guard came over on horseback, holding a bloody rabbit in his hand. This was what Ban Ren had just hunted.

"It's injured, so it can only be used for meat." Ban Ren shook his head regretfully, patting the horse beneath him. "Keep looking, giddy up!"

"Shh." When they reached a dense forest, Ban Ren tightened the reins and stopped the horse. She touched the horse's neck and said to the guard behind her, "Don't make a sound."

In the grass, a white fox tail peeked out. Ban Ren nocked an arrow on the string, aimed, and shot.

"Whoosh!"

Just as Ban Ren's arrow pierced the white fox's hind leg, another arrow shot over and hit the white fox's other leg. She looked back and saw the Second Prince appear behind her with a few guards. The arrow just now should have been shot by him.

"Cousin." The Second Prince looked lazily at Ban Ren and turned his head to let the guard beside him pick up the prey.

"Your Highness," Ban Ren noticed the Second Prince's actions. "I was the one who hunted that white fox first."

"Oh." The Second Prince threw the bow in his hand to the guard beside him and squeezed his legs against the horse's abdomen, getting closer to Ban Ren. "But this white fox's leg also has my arrow feather symbol."

"Really?" Ban Ren jumped off the horse and took the white fox from the Second Prince's guard. He reached out to take the Second Prince's arrow and then handed the white fox to his own guard. "Isn't it gone now?"

"You, you, you …" The Second Prince was so angry that his hands trembled. He pointed at a guard and said, "You, go and take the fox back for me."

Ban Di glanced at the guard and then covered his face with his hands. "Sob, sob, sob, sob, sob, sob. Second Prince is bullying girls and snatching my fox!"

Just then, the sound of horse hooves came from not far away. Perhaps because they heard the crying of a girl, this group of people rushed over.

Rong Xia and a few other nobles were about to hunt two rabbits when they heard an earth-shattering cry. The rabbits ran away, but they could not just sit and watch.

The King of Evergreen heard that the crying was not far from them and said, "Let's go and have a look."

The King of Evergreen was the nephew of the previous Emperor and was also the cousin of the current Emperor. He was a young man with a high status, so his words carried a lot of weight in this group of people.

When they came closer, they saw a girl in red squatting on the ground and crying sadly. The Second Prince was riding on the horse and shouting at this girl. It seemed that the Second Prince was bullying this girl. The women who could come here to participate in the hunt were all extraordinary. Even if the Second Prince had a high status, he could not yell at a girl like this. This was too much.

Rong Xia immediately recognized that the girl squatting on the ground was Ban Ren. He looked at the Second Prince who was still shouting and frowned.

The Second Prince had lived for twenty years and had never met such a rude and unreasonable woman. He had not done anything to her, but she was already crying so loudly that the entire forest could hear her. He was anxious and angry, so he could not help but yell at Ban Ren a few times. Unexpectedly, Ban Ren did not stop crying. Instead, she cried even harder.

"Ban Ren, you'd better not overdo it. If you continue to cry, do you believe that I will really punish you?!"

"Sob, sob, sob, sob."

"You!"

"Your Highness." Rong Xia got off the horse and walked to the front of the Second Prince's horse. She bowed to him and said, "Ban Junjun is just a girl. You are a magnanimous person, so there is no need to lower yourself to her level. Yu Gong, you are a prince, and she is a Commandery Princess. Personally, you are my cousin and Ban Junjun is your cousin. It is not good for things to turn out like this. "

"What do you mean by that?" The Second Prince was so angry that his eyebrows were raised. "Am I the kind of man who would bully a woman for no reason?"

Rong Xia bowed again and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. I dare not."

The Second Prince looked at Rong Xia's gentle and jade-like face and felt that this person was not pleasing to the eye. Although she said she dared not, her eyes showed that she did not care about him. The Second Prince felt that he was not angry at all. Instead, he was furious. He pointed at Ban Ren and said, "Ban Ren, tell me. Did I bully you?"

Ban San peeked at Rong Xia through the gaps between her fingers. She rubbed her eyes and hid two steps behind Rong Xia with her red eyes. She shook her head with an expression that said, "I feel wronged, but I can only endure it." "No, no." Rong Xia shook her head.

"A Luo," King Changqing could not stand it anymore and said, "Don't mess around. Lao Ai is your cousin. You can't bully her."

The Second Prince felt that he could not explain himself. "Uncle, why would I bully her?! Who knows why she is so crazy, crying and making a fuss. "

King Changqing was twenty-three this year. Because his father and the late emperor were brothers, he had a very close relationship with the current emperor. Although he was very young, his seniority was high. Even the Crown Prince had to show him some respect, let alone the Second Prince.

Ban Ren did not care how wronged Jiang Luo was. Ever since she was young, Jiang Luo would bully her every time she entered the palace. However, she had learned from a young age that a crying child would get milk, so she did not suffer much. Later, when she grew up and most of the princes in the palace were adults, she met the princes much less often. Except for important occasions, it was very difficult for her to meet the Second Prince.

However, after four or five years of not interacting with him, he actually came to snatch something from her. Why didn't she go out and ask around? Who in the capital did not know of her name, Ban Ren?

Rong Xia saw that Ban Ren did not say anything and thought that she was frightened by the Second Prince. She turned her head to look at him.

He was half a head taller than Ban Ren, and Ban Ren had her head lowered. Therefore, Rong Xia could only see the golden crown on her head. Rong Xia did not know how this golden crown was made. The golden leaves were vivid and lifelike, and they were as thin as cicada wings. When the wind blew, they trembled slightly, giving off a kind of luxurious and threatening beauty.

At this moment, Ban Ren, who had her head lowered, looked up. A pair of big eyes fell into Rong Xia's line of sight.

Swoosh.

The golden leaves on Ban Ren's head trembled even more. She blinked and smiled gratefully at Rong Xia.

Rong Xia thought that this Commandery Prince Ban's smile was quite adorable. Her eyes were curved like the crescent moon in the sky.

"Cousin niece." The Evergreen King had always been very tolerant of pretty girls, so he smiled at Ban Ren and said, "Come, come with us to go hunting."

"Thank you, Uncle." Ban Ren bowed to the Evergreen King, then pretended to look worriedly at the second prince. Her expression was somewhat exaggerated.

"Don't be afraid, your cousin is just a little straightforward. He doesn't have any bad intentions." The Evergreen King glared at the second prince, indicating that he should not speak and scare Ban Ren. "What did you just hunt?"

"It was a fox." Ban Ren touched the whip at her waist. "His Majesty bestowed me with a horsewhip, so I wanted to hunt a pretty little thing and bring it back to His Majesty." As she said this, her beautiful eyes looked at the second prince and she looked aggrieved.

The nobles who had come with the Evergreen King looked strangely at the second prince. He even stole a girl's prey. This second prince was really unique.

Although this Ban Junjun was somewhat impetuous, she was still the granddaughter of the Great Elder Princess. If the Emperor had not been protected by the Great Elder Princess, he might not have been able to ascend the throne. Now that the Great Elder Princess was still alive, the second prince was bullying her only granddaughter.

How unkind.

It had been a long time since the second prince had felt so aggrieved. This woman was shameless and unreasonable. He really didn't know how the Marquis of Jing Ting had taught her. At the very least, she had the blood of the Imperial House running through her veins, so why was she so undignified?

There were also a few other nobles who looked at him with gazes. Although they didn't say a word, the second prince felt that they had already despised him in their hearts.

So angry!

Ban Bi, that shameless little slut!

"Other girls are all admiring the scenery and composing poems, but you came here to hunt. Knives and swords have no eyes. What if they hurt you?" The Evergreen King looked at the prey on the back of Ban Bi's horse. "Oh, you've hunted quite a lot."

"I don't like to compose poems, so I won't join in the fun."

While they were talking, Ban Bi shot a bird with his bow.

Seeing this, the Evergreen King shook his head. It was no wonder that with such a beautiful face, he still couldn't find his ideal husband. Most of the men in the world preferred gentle-tempered women. A woman like his Bi 'an was really hard to deal with.

Men with high statuses were not willing to marry her, while men with low statuses were not worthy of her. It was really a headache for her to be stuck between high and low.

If her temperament was a little more restrained, she could marry into the Imperial Family. Unfortunately, with her fiery temperament, she was probably not suitable to stay in the Imperial Family.

His aunt … probably couldn't bear to part with her.

Looking at the prey that the guard had picked up, a large area of the fur on his belly was stained with blood. When young girls saw cute animals, most of them couldn't bear to hurt them. However, when Bi 'an saw a fox, he thought of its skin. When he saw a pheasant, he thought of its tail feathers. When he saw a rabbit, he thought of its roasted rabbit meat.

The Jing Ting Marquis Estate really didn't know how to teach their children. Such a beautiful girl, how had they taught her?

"Whoosh!"

An arrow suddenly flew out and pierced the neck of a white-furred deer.

Ban Shu suddenly turned around and saw Uncle Cheng An's bow, which he hadn't had time to put away.

"Good archery!"

She had thought that an elegant gentleman like Uncle Cheng An wouldn't like to hunt. After all, these things were stained with blood.

"Junjun, you flatter me." Rong Xia handed the bow to the guard and smiled faintly. "It was just a coincidence."

"Ah!" Ban Shu suddenly clapped his hands. "Quickly, get someone to collect the deer blood. Don't waste it. It's a great tonic."

Hearing this, Rong Xia smiled and said to the guard behind her, "What are you waiting for? Do as Junjun says."

"Yes." The guard immediately dismounted from his horse and took out a silver pot to collect the deer blood.

It was a happy thing that others were willing to listen to his good advice. Therefore, Ban Shu gave Rong Xia a big smile.

This smile made the young masters a little dazed and their hearts skipped a beat.

"It's almost noon." Xie Wanyu stood on her tiptoes and looked in the direction of the forest. Those who had gone out to hunt should be back soon.

Just as she was thinking about this, a group of people walked out of the forest. At the front was the Prince of Chang Qing, and he was accompanied by a man and a woman. With one look, Xie Wanyu recognized that the elegant and noble man was Uncle Cheng An. The woman …

Ban Shu?

The woman who was on par with Uncle Cheng An was Ban Shu?!
