Jiang Yuchao: My baby is so aggressive when angry, I love it!

"Master, what did Prince Yuling say to you? Is he going to avenge you?" Lan Qiao asked excitedly, seeing her return with a smile.

Jiang Yuchao frowned, "It must have been you who tattled, right? Don't do it next time."

In the past, Lan Qiao was quite afraid of this master who didn't like to pay attention to people, but after getting along for so long, she wasn't afraid at all. As long as it was good for the master, even if she did something wrong, the master wouldn't punish her, at most just ignoring her with a cold face.

"Okay okay, I won't dare~" Lan Qiao pointed to the stewed rabbit meat, "Master, smell it, this rabbit meat smells so good."

Jiang Yuchao: "Ah...rabbit meat." So should she send a portion to her idol?

It's a bit embarrassing that in her idol's eyes, she seems to be someone who likes small animals. Jiang Yuchao felt ashamed as she lifted the lid and poked the soy-colored rabbit meat inside. The seasoning was good and the flavor was fragrant. As expected of the rabbit caught by her idol, the taste was better than ordinary rabbits.

After they finished their private meal in the tent, suddenly there was a dog barking outside.

Now whenever Jiang Yuchao hears a dog bark, she reflexively thinks of her dog-loving angelic idol. She immediately lifted the tent flap and went out. She saw seven big dogs outside, sticking out their tongues at her. The idol wasn't there, there were only dogs and no person.

Jiang Yuchao still remembered the leading dog, called Heijin, the mother of her own Gui Huagao. Heijin came up to sniff her and raised her neck to show her. There was a sealed bamboo tube tied around her neck with a letter inside.

Amazing, the idol even dispatched dogs to deliver messages!

Jiang Yuchao opened the letter to read, then glanced at those dogs, feeling a bit speechless. The letter from her idol said the dogs had been sent to protect her.

Sending You Wu and the other guards over would affect her and be too conspicuous, so he let the big dogs come. He probably felt that Princess Chunxi held a grudge against her and wouldn't let her off easily, so he dispatched these seven generals to be door gods.

But the key issue was, sending burly men to protect her would attract a lot of attention, but sending these few big dogs, wouldn't that draw even more attention?

Just as Jiang Yuchao thought, after several big dogs moved into her originally remote tent, it attracted a lot of attention. That night it was still okay since it was too dark, but by morning when people were coming and going, these few dogs along with Jiang Yuchao's tent became the focus.

"Aren't those Prince Yuling's dogs? Why are they guarding that tent, whose tent is that?"

"Could it be that Prince Yuling is inside?"

"What is the relationship between the person living here and Prince Yuling?"

Not only the passing officials, wives and family members, but even those soldiers standing guard who looked like they wouldn't glance sideways couldn't help but fix their gazes on those big dogs. Except for Heijin, who was lying at Jiang Yuchao's feet inside the tent, the rest of the big dogs were lying outside, their eyes alertly watching the surroundings.

Even Prime Minister Xiao was attracted over by these few dogs. He entered the tent to talk to Jiang Yuchao. While talking, his eyes kept glancing at the places inside the tent that could hide a person.

Jiang Yuchao: "..." What, you think my idol is hiding in here?

Prime Minister Xiao left with a hint of subtle disappointment. Jiang Yuchao wanted to go to the hunting grounds to see her idol. As soon as she got up, Heijin followed her. When she walked out of the tent, the rest of the dogs also followed her. The seven dogs walked in front and behind her, looking quite imposing. Even Lan Qiao, her personal maid, could only follow behind the dogs.

Although everyone on the road stared at her, Jiang Yuchao had the mental fortitude and wasn't afraid at all.

Many people had already gathered in the open space next to the hunting grounds. Some were comparing their archery skills, while others held their horses and talked, pointing toward the forest. As Jiang Yuchao approached, she heard someone say they had discovered bear tracks and were preparing to go into the forest to hunt bears.

Today, Prince Yuling didn't enter the field. He sat beside the emperor in splendid attire, drinking tea and chatting. Prince Yu dominated the field alone. Although he was handsome, he was the standard male lead from the story she had read. Remembering that he would eventually harm her idol, Jiang Yuchao was on high alert against him.

Prince Yu rode his horse near Jiang Yuchao. Seeing the dogs beside her, a look of disgust appeared in his eyes. He raised his chin and said loudly, "Woman, if I hunt a bear for you today, you will come back and continue being my princess consort."

The people who heard him speak were all stunned. But Jiang Yuchao calmly shouted back at him, "Of course not, dream on."

Crowd: "???"

Xi Zhuoyu on the shaded platform: "Pfft."

Seeing the emperor looking at him with mixed feelings, Xi Zhuoyu took a sip of tea to hide the smile on his face.

Emperor: "How unbecoming!" It was unclear who he was referring to.

Prince Yu found that he had lowered himself like this, yet was still rejected. He was furious, his face turning cold, "What did you say?!"

Jiang Yuchao unhesitatingly rejected him again.

Prince Yu was enraged, "You rejected me for Prince Yuling?"

Jiang Yuchao: Hey, what kind of drama is this drama queen suddenly adding for himself, why is he randomly bringing up my brother? No deal, we're not making any deals. Leave my brother out of this and don't associate him with someone like you.

Prince Yu approached Jiang Yuchao and lowered his voice, asking her in a devilishly charming manner, "In what way am I inferior to him, hmm?"

Jiang Yuchao: "First is appearance. His divine beauty is unmatched in the world, this is something everyone agrees on without dispute. Then there's his personality. He is magnanimous, kind-hearted, and considerate of others. He also loves small animals and likes dogs... He's full of good qualities, too many to count. Tell me, where do you get the confidence to compare to him, hmm?"

As she spoke, she made the same devilishly charming expression as Prince Yu.

For the first time, Prince Yu felt that this devilish smile was very disgusting, even making him want to vomit a little. He turned and walked away, checking the degree of emotional deviation.

Indeed, there was no deviation. Since there was no deviation, then what was with Xiao Jinyue's bootlicking state?

"System, are you messing with me again? This deviation is actually already at 100%, right? Hasn't that Xiao Jinyue woman already gotten together with Xi Zhuoyu?"

-- "Nope, they still have a pure relationship between a man and woman~"

"Heh, what pure friendship between a man and a woman, I don't believe it." There's no such thing as pure feelings between men and women, it must be this broken system deceiving him again.

Greening System: So wronged.

"Alright, if you don't believe it then forget it," the Greening System said.

Prince Yu: F*ck.

Of course Prince Yu wouldn't just let it go like this. That day, he indeed hunted a bear, making a big splash, and then brought the bear meat to find Jiang Yuchao.

"How about it, you should have a change of heart now."

Jiang Yuchao suspected he might have a problem with his brain, not understanding human words. "I said, no."

However, a major characteristic of the domineering type is being self-centered, never listening to what others say that they don't want to hear.
