Chapter 294 Time Traveling Woman
Gu Jianchu was so focused on eating the melon that he didn't notice Xie Ci'an had called out to him to stand up.
Xie Ci'an held her waist and sat down.
【System out?】
"You ate the melon while checking it yourself, and disturbed others' rest in broad daylight."
The system's resentful voice sounded in my head.
The corners of Gu Jianchu's mouth twitched, and he looked speechless.
[If I could just eat the melon thoroughly, I would definitely not disturb your quiet cultivation.]
【Then you don’t understand what to eat? 】
[Why can I only find out about Mi Yue's past and nothing else? I can't even see her purpose.]
[Impossible, absolutely impossible.]
[Wait a moment, I'll check.]
Gu Jianchu waited for a moment and finally heard the anxious voice of the system.
【What's going on? I can't even find anything.】
【Are you aging and in need of an upgrade?】
[Don't talk nonsense. How could I possibly age? And I'm the highest level in the melon-eating world, okay? Who am I looking down on?]
【Then why can’t I find it? 】
Immediately afterwards, Gu Jianchu heard a busy tone from the system in his mind.
The silence that represents the system is deafening.
The appearance of Mi Yue was too strange. What was even stranger was that the system couldn't find any gossip that didn't happen in Mi Yue. This had never happened before.
This made Gu Jianchu feel a little nervous, and his eyelids kept twitching.
"You can't find out anything. Is she a time traveler? Is she also carrying a system? I remember you once said that if two systems existed in the same world, you wouldn't be able to sense each other. Under the protection of the system, you wouldn't be able to spy on the other."
"That's right. Since I can't detect anything, maybe she really does have some kind of system. I've heard from the elders before that they've seen four or five people with systems appear in one world, including systems for time travel and transportation. However, Mi Yue's system isn't likely very high-level. If it were, we wouldn't be able to detect any information about her, not even her past."
[Dear, let's just make the best of it. Mi Yue shouldn't be a threat to you.]
Tongzi had said so, what else could she do? She couldn't find out anything anyway.
The horn sounded again, followed by the deafening sound of drums, and Gu Jianchu's thoughts were gradually pulled back.
"The one who hunts the most prey today will be rewarded with a jade belt. And for the one who hunts a brown bear, I can grant you any request. Everyone, work hard." With the emperor's announcement, the hunt had begun. The generals and the sons of the noble families led the way into the forest, followed by a group of guards and young eunuchs.
The rest of the people prepared their horses to go into the woods.
Gu Jianchu and Xie Ci'an went to the horse farm at a leisurely pace. There were some princes choosing horses there. When they saw the emperor and empress coming, they hurriedly stepped back, paid their respects to the emperor and empress first, and then asked the emperor and empress to choose horses first.
"Today we are hunting for the people's enjoyment. Don't worry about me, just choose for yourselves." After Xie Ci'an said this, he took Gu Jianchu's hand and walked straight past to another stable, where there were some Ferghana horses that the eunuchs had trained in advance for the emperor and empress.
When passing by the stables, he unexpectedly saw Xie Qingzhi and Jiang Fengmian, one walking in front and the other following behind.
Xie Qingzhi raised an eyebrow and glanced at Jiang Fengmian. "I think this white horse suits you very well. Do you want to try it?"
"Princess, you are joking. You just asked me to come and accompany you to choose a horse. If it comes to horse riding and archery, you are making it difficult for a scholar like me. I don't know how to do these things." Jiang Fengmian said modestly.
"I remember that one of the six etiquettes of a gentleman is horseback riding and archery. I know you can ride a horse, so you don't have to be so modest. As for archery, I'm no big deal to you. I just brought you along to join in the fun. Do you really expect me to hunt a brown bear? Maybe I can't even catch a hare." Xie Qingzhi threw a crossbow to Jiang Fengmian.
Jiang Fengmian took it and hung it on the saddle, then got on the horse at Xie Qingzhi's urging.
"Sit tight." Xie Qingzhi said, then whipped the horse's butt with a whip, and the horse ran away.
After a while, the eunuch brought over Xie Ci'an and Gu Jianchu's Ferghana horses. The saddles and quivers were already prepared. Xie Ci'an helped Gu Jianchu onto the horse first, then climbed onto the horse next to him. "Are you okay, Chu? If you're not feeling well, I'll accompany you for a walk around the perimeter."
"I'm fine, but I don't want to hinder the emperor from hunting brown bears." Gu Jianchu was, after all, the second daughter of the Nanping Marquis and a descendant of a military general. Although she liked to act badly since she was a child, she learned these survival skills and horse riding and archery from her father and brother, especially the horse riding and archery. Her father and brother took her to Liaodong for a month before they taught her.
Her father and brother were stationed in Liaodong all year round. She didn't want to be a useless person who only knew how to lie down and wait for death. One year, she followed her father and brother to Liaodong. Although she only stayed there for a few months, she saw the unique scenery of Liaodong. Although winter came very early, the grassland in summer was still very magnificent.
"Although I cannot hunt brown bears, I can still hunt a deer." Gu Jianchu pulled the reins with one hand and the whip with the other hand. The horse ran wildly, leaving behind only the sound of hooves and the fluttering corners of clothes.
As the daughter of Marquis Gu, Xie Ci'an was not surprised that Gu Jianchu could ride a horse, but she did not expect that she could ride so well.
Xie Ci'an followed closely behind.
Xie Ci'an chased for a few steps and saw Gu Jianchu stopped at the entrance of the dense forest.
Without waiting for Xie Ci'an to ask, he followed Gu Jianchu's gaze and saw that not far away, Gu Jianbai was teaching Mi Yue to ride a horse. Gu Jianbai said with tenderness in his eyes, "Mi Yue, be careful not to squeeze the horse's belly, and also hold the reins tight. But don't worry, I will always be by your side."
"Gu Jianbai, don't be so fussy. I think I've mastered the essentials. There's no problem riding it by myself." Mi Yue spoke confidently while sitting on the horse, but her eyes drifted in the direction of Gu Jianchu and Xie Ci'an.
Mi Yue suddenly leaned over and whispered in Gu Jianbai's ear, "I heard that the current queen is your sister, so the emperor is your brother-in-law. Should we go over and say hello?"
Gu Jianbai heard Mi Yue's greeting and could not help but whispered a reminder, "Don't talk nonsense. Although the Queen is my biological sister, you still have to address her as the Empress in front of outsiders and follow the etiquette. If you don't greet the Queen in advance, I won't take you to pay your respects. Let's wait for another day."
"Whatever, I'll do as you say." Although Mi Yue said this, her expression had changed when she looked at Gu Jianchu.
