Chapter 48 – The Mad Emperor and His Fairy in the Painting

The Mad Emperor and His Fairy in the Painting (14)

The two walked hand in hand. Eunuch Li, who was waiting outside the door, heard the noise and quickly threw away the branch he was holding.

“Your Majesty…”

Xie Chenyuan ignored him, just looking at her as if he could never get enough of looking at her.

It was the first time Eunuch Li had seen the woman clearly. Usually, this dog emperor tried his best to hide her away, and when he did take her out, he carried her.

But unfortunately, she was still wearing a veil. But just from her exposed brows and eyes, such spiritual eyes, this woman was undoubtedly a rare beauty!

“Lead the way.” Xie Chenyuan gritted his teeth as he glared at Eunuch Li, who had been staring at Xing’er.

Eunuch Li immediately bent over to apologize while cursing the dog emperor hundreds of times in his heart. So stingy, keeping such a close watch. Careful your wife runs away.

At the autumn hunting grounds.

The Regent had his arms around two beauties, one on each side, his lecherous eyes trying to reach further inward.

“His Majesty has arrived—”

The shrill voice made his hand tremble with fright, and he immediately withdrew it. Everyone knew that fooling around with women in front of His Majesty was a major taboo!

Once before, an entire hand of a man who had done so was chopped off by His Majesty with a single stroke. The bloody scene terrified him so much that he didn’t dare to go near any woman for three days.

“Greetings, Your Majesty!”

Everyone bowed, though in truth, they were all very curious about the woman behind His Majesty.

His Majesty had never had a woman in the harem before. So, the first woman to appear by His Majesty’s side would most likely be the future empress!

Xie Chenyuan waved his hand. “No need for formalities. At today’s autumn hunt, who would like to demonstrate their horse riding skills?”

Everyone looked at each other for a long time. No one moved.

Finally, a clear male voice rang out.

“This subject, Kabir, is willing to perform.” With that, he stepped forward and knelt down with a standard bow.

Xie Chenyuan’s eyes fell upon the volunteer. Seeing that it was Kabir, the hostage prince from the Northern Frontier, his brow furrowed slightly.

He really didn’t like this Northern Frontier hostage prince—

But since he had no reason to act against him at the moment, Xie Chenyuan agreed to his request with a cold tone.

Kabir stood up and prepared to leave, his eyes secretly sweeping over the figure behind the man. For some reason, he felt she was very familiar.

Xu Xinghe pushed Xie Chenyuan’s shoulder but couldn’t budge him. This man had brought her to the autumn hunt but was blocking her from watching the performance. Truly unreasonable.

Xie Chenyuan suppressed his dislike for Kabir and pulled Xu Xinghe to sit on the throne covered with fox hide. Only then did she have a chance to watch the performance.

Kabir led over a black steed. His movement as he mounted the horse was fluid and effortless.

“Hyah!” The black horse immediately ran. Kabil held the saddle rope with one hand and a bow and arrow with the other. His green eyes sparkled like dazzling emeralds in the sunlight.

His eyes locked on the target ahead. He drew the bow and released. Three arrows hit the bullseye!

“Wow!” Xu Xinghe couldn’t help but praise the other party’s archery skills. To be so accurate, he must have put in incomparable practice.

Xie Chenyuan hated it most when she brought up other men. He pulled her into his arms with his big hands. “You like watching performances? Wait here.” Without waiting for Xu Xinghe’s reply, he walked down on his own.

As Xie Chenyuan passed by Kabir, he deliberately hit his shoulder hard and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Peacock showing off his feathers.”

Kabir was confused. He sensed that the Great Yuan Emperor harbored hostility towards him, and it seemed to be more than just a little.

Xie Chenyuan led out his Ferghana horse, a legendary blood-sweating horse. This stirred discussion among the crowd about the horse. It was a priceless Ferghana horse!

They were fortunate to see His Majesty ride it. His Majesty usually rode an ordinary white horse. No one knew why he had chosen today to ride the rarely seen Ferghana horse.
