Chapter 432: Meeting Yuan, Entering the Mountain
Ji Xingle sighed;
"I say, you guys trust me too much, don't you? You're so confident right after the exam. People who don't know would think we have some inside information!"
The three princesses and the others just smiled and said nothing more. The facts are the facts.
Sheng Xia Ge smiled;
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's drink and eat..."
He picked up another chicken drumstick for Ji Xingle;
"Come, Sister Le, eat some chicken legs to replenish your body."
"You guys eat too."
......
After dinner, Shengxia Ge chatted and talked about Ji Xingle's marriage. He learned that the dowry of Shuifan Kingdom included a city. The three princesses were envious.
Without relying on a single soldier, he obtained two cities and a large amount of land of Lingfan Kingdom. Even if Ji Xingle's descendants do not enter the court, those amulets can keep them safe for the rest of their lives. Who would not be envious if this were to be told to others?
Ji Xingle lived up to everyone's expectations and won the first place in the imperial examination. The empress also brought condolences to Ji Xingle. After celebrating with Sheng Xia Ge and his party,
Just waiting for the palace examination in a month, Sheng Xia Ge finally caught Ji Xingle staying here for such a long time, and dragged her into the mountains to hunt.
"Sister Le, now we can go a little deeper into the mountains. We were in a hurry the last few times and didn't have much fun..."
Qian Duoduo also spoke up;
"In the early spring, there must be a lot of delicious food in the mountains. We should call more people to pick more fresh wild vegetables and fruits for our family to taste."
Li Danqiu joked;
“You know how to eat.”
Qian Duoduo said proudly;
"Oh! This is all thanks to my brother's wife. With her around, everything tastes delicious."
Hearing this, Li Danqiu looked at the Third Princess and Qian Duoduo with envy;
"If only my brother hadn't gotten married so quickly..."
Qian Duoduo covered his mouth and laughed secretly;
"Don't you have several younger brothers in your family? Ask if Xingle still wants a husband..."
Li Danqiu kicked Qian Duoduo;
"Are you a pervert? How old is my remaining brother? He is about the same age as her son..."
Before Li Danqiu could finish, Qian Duoduo said again:
"What's the big deal? Your mother's new concubine is also more than 20 years younger than her..."
Hearing this, Li Danqiu retracted his kick against Qian Duoduo and stood there in thought. Then he actually asked Ji Xingle;
"Xingle, would you like to consider it?"
Ji Xingle rolled his eyes, pointing at the Third Princess and Qian Duoduo, expressing his dismay at their failure to make up for their differences;
"What do you envy about them?"
Before she could speak, Ji Xingle said again;
"What do they have? Do I need you? Except that you don't make as much money as me and the third brother, aren't you the same?"
Li Danqiu was stunned by Ji Xingle's words. He turned around and thought about it. It seemed to be true. Then he looked at Qian Duoduo who was gloating at the side.
This was the first time that Li Danqiu felt so embarrassed in front of Ji Xingle. Without thinking twice, he punched Qian Duoduo so hard that Qian Duoduo kept begging for mercy.
"Daughter of the Third Emperor, Xingle, Xia Ge, please come and save me!"
"I won't gossip anymore!"
No one went to save her. After all, they were just joking and would not kill her.
Finally, Li Danqiu spared Qian Duoduo because they had to hurry on their journey. Seeing Qian Duoduo's hair as messy as a chicken coop, Ji Xingle and others couldn't stop laughing.

When the group arrived at the mountain, they were all amazed by the appearance of the mountain. Everywhere was full of vitality, flowers were blooming, and everything was blown by the breeze, as if greeting them.
Several people looked at each other, with surprise in their eyes.
The third princess smiled and said;
“Spring is such a great season...”
"Well, spring is a new life for all things, and new life represents hope. It is indeed a good season and a good start..."
Ji Xingle nodded and looked into the distance. It was just like what was described in the book, with layers of green mountains, like a fairyland rather than the human world.
Sheng Xia Ge and Qian Duoduo both made a powerful statement as soon as they opened their mouths;
"Yes, there are still many delicious foods in spring. Let's go inside! There must be a lot of delicious food. Everything outside has been looted by the villagers."
"Hmm, I don't know if I can encounter a snake. I feel like eating snake soup."
The three princesses looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes. Such a beautiful view was ruined just because of two sentences...
Qian Duoduo and the other two didn't realize how much of an impact their words had on the three princesses and their companions, and they were still chattering about what to eat.
In the end, the three princesses did not choose to interrupt their conversation, and even joined them in asking, "What is the best thing to eat in spring?"
As they chatted, time passed quickly, and the group easily reached the deep mountains, where they found a stream with clear water and fish swimming happily.
Many small animals were drinking water by the stream and were whispering to each other about something. When they saw Ji Xingle and his group coming, they were scared and ran around.
Shengxiage screamed when he saw the sika deer;
"Hey! Sika deer, don't run! Come home with me! I will take good care of you..."
"Hello, squirrel!"
"Hey! Is that a sable? Don't eat the rabbit! That's mine..."
Qian Duoduo also followed Sheng Xiage in making trouble. The two of them ran and shouted, and soon they disappeared.
Ji Xingle and the three princesses sat there eating snacks and waiting for the guards to set up the tent. They planned to rest here on the first day.
After a long time, Li Danqiu suddenly said;
"Where did they go? Don't let them run into wild beasts..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cry for help from afar;
"Help, help, there is a wild boar, there is a wild boar..."
Hearing this, Li Danqiu was shocked. What the hell? It came right after I finished speaking. Is it so effective?
The three princesses also found it incredible and asked their guards to help.
About ten minutes later, several guards came back carrying a wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms. Qian Duoduo and Sheng Xiage came back with their hair and clothes in disarray. They were grinning happily with their teeth bared. People who didn't know would have thought that something happened to them!
"Daughter of the Third Emperor, Sister Le, do you think our matter is serious? A wild boar this big can be found anywhere..."
Qian Duoduo had forgotten how miserable he was when he was chased by a wild boar and screamed for help, and he said proudly:
"It's us..."
Several people cooperated;
"Yes, yes, thank you for your hard work. Eat more meat later."
Eating meat alone was not enough, so Ji Xingle asked the guards to find some wild vegetables and fruits to relieve the greasiness.
Because they were experienced, the guards were very quick in preparing the wild boar. The wild boar was too big, so they divided it into four parts and grilled them. Four grills were set up at once.
Qian Duoduo and Sheng Xiage smelled the fragrance, couldn't stop swallowing, and asked the guards from time to time;
"Can I eat it?"
"Not yet, need to bake for a while..."
"Can you cut some small slices out and roast them for me... No, roast them for the three princesses and Xingle?"
"Yes, yes, yes, cut it into small pieces and give it to me first... give it to them..."
Hearing this, everyone present laughed out loud. The Third Princess shook her head and said to the guards;
"Listen to them! Don't let them get too greedy later."
Qian Duoduo and the other two hurriedly said;
"Great, thank you, Princess Sanhuang..."
After the guards cut several small portions, Qian Duoduo and the others quickly pushed them to the Third Princess and Ji Xingle.
"You guys eat first..."
Seeing this, Ji Xingle and the Third Princess did not hesitate to speak politely. After all, they were almost bewildered by the incense.
After seeing the two of them start eating, Qian Duoduo and Sheng Xiage couldn't wait to pick up the food on the table and start eating.
"Hmm~"
“It’s so delicious~”
