Chapter 12 - Shameless         

The guards cleared the way, and after Emperor Yun Qing hunted down a prey, the hunting officially began.
"Jun Princess." A guard came over with a horse, carrying a bloody rabbit in his hand, which Ban Hua had just hunted.
"I hurt its skin so it can only be used to eat meat," Ban Hua shook her head regretfully, and patted the horse under her, "Keep looking and drive!"
"Hush," Ban Hua tightened the reins when she reached the denser part of the forest. Stopping the horse, she touched the horse's neck, and said to the guard behind her, "Don't make a noise."

In the grass, a whitish tail was peeking out. Ban Hua put an arrow on the bow and flexed the bow limbs. Aiming the bow, The she shot out the string.
"Woosh!"
The arrow shot straight into the white fox.
Just when Ban Hua's arrow had stuck into the white fox's hind leg, another arrow also shot over, hitting the other leg of the white fox. Ban Hua looked back and saw that the second prince had appeared behind her with several guards. He should have shot the arrow just now.
"Cousin," The second prince glanced at Ban Hua lazily, turned his head, and let the guard next to him pick up the prey.
"His Royal Highness," Ban Hua noticed the movements of the second prince, "I hunted the white fox first."

"Oh," The second prince with his legs pinched around the horse's belly threw the bow in his hand to the guards around him. "But the white fox's legs also have my arrow feather mark."
"Really?" Ban Hua jumped off her horse, grabbed the white fox from the second prince's guard, and stretched out her hands to draw the second prince's arrow out. Then she handed the white fox to her guard, "Is it there?"

"You, you..." The second prince, trembling with anger, pointed to one of the guards and said, "You, go get it back for me."

Ban Hua eyed the guard, and then covered her face with both hands, "Woo, woo, the second prince bullied this little miss and even grabbed my fox!", she wailed.

Just at this time, a sound of hurried horse hooves was heard not far away, probably because the people had rushed over here after hearing the cries.
Rong Xia and a few noble young masters were about to hunt two rabbits when they heard an earth-shattering cry. As a result, the rabbits ran away and they were left empty-handed. After hearing the sound they could not just sit back and watch.
Chanqing Wang was the nephew of the previous Emperor and was the cousin of the present emperor. Although he was very young his words were weighty. He had a lot of authority in matters.
After everyone reached the scene, they saw a woman in red squatting on the ground weeping sadly. The second prince was on horseback yelling at the woman, it seemed that the second prince was bullying the girl. The female family members who could come to participate in the hunt all had extraordinary identities. Even if the second prince had a valuable status, he couldn't yell at a girl like this, it was too much.

The second prince had lived for twenty years, but had never met such an arrogant and unreasonable woman. She wailed so loudly that her cries echoed through the entire forest. He was so anxious and angry that he couldn't stop shouting at Ban Hua. Ban Hua also didn't stop crying as she heard him, but she started crying even more vigorously.
"Ban Hua, enough is enough, do you really believe I will let go if you cry?!"
"woo, woo, woo"
"You!"
"Your Highness," Rong Xia dismounted off his horse, walked to the second prince's horse, and bowed to him, "Jun Princess is just a woman. You have a large number of darens(officers), why would you trouble her?" He further added," Second Prince, you are a Wangzi, and she is jūn jūn. Moreover, Ban jūn jūn is your cousin. It's bad however you see. It is not nice to make trouble like this."

"What do you mean by this?" The second prince frowned, "Is this prince the kind of man who bullies women for no reason?"
"His Royal Highness calm down",Rong Xia said again, "Wei Chen dare not."
The second prince looked at Rong Xia's jade-like face and felt that this person was not pleasing to the eye. He(Rong Xia) said he would not dare, but his eyes were all indifferent to him(second prince).
 The second prince felt that his anger did not come down at all, but he grew even angrier. He stretched his hand to Ban Hua, "Ban Hua, you say, Is this prince bullying you?"
Ban Hua secretly peeked at Rong Xia in front of her from the gap of her fingers, rubbed her eyes, and hid two steps behind him. Then with a pair of red eyes, shook her head with an expression of "I am very wronged, but I can only endure",
"No, no."
Wang Chanqing couldn't stand it anymore. "Don't make a fool of yourself, Huahua is your cousin, you must not bully." he asserted.

The second prince felt that he had a mouthful to say but could not. (T/n: could not explain clearly) "Uncle, what did I bully her for?! Who knows why she is crazy? Crying and making trouble ."

Wang Chanqing was twenty-three this year. Because his father and the first emperor were brothers, he had a very close relationship with the current Emperor. Although he was very young, he had high seniority. So let alone the second prince, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had to give him face.
Ban Hua didn't care how wronged Jiang Luo was. Ever since she was young, Jiang Luo used to bully her every time she entered the palace. But she had learned the truth that crying children have milk since she was a child(1), so she didn't suffer much. Later, as she grew up, the Wangzis in the palace had also grown up. She met with the Wangzis a lot less often, and it was difficult to meet the second prince except for big occasions.

Who knew that after four or five years of not dealing with her, he would come to grab something from her the first time they met. Go inquire, who in the capital doesn't know her name?(2)                     ※ ·❆· ※1. If you make a fuss,be pitiful and attract attention, you will get it.2.She is just famous for being unreasonable and arrogant. She is just said to be shameless without  morals. So, people don't dare to cross paths with her or fight with her.They were at the end, so I did not bother linking them 
Seeing that Ban Hua didn't say anything, Rong Xia believing that she was frightened by the second prince, turned and went over.
He was originally half a head taller than Ban Hua, and Ban Hua had lowered her head, so the only thing that could be seen was the golden buyao on top. Don't know how the golden crown was made. The golden leaves were lifelike and as thin and beautiful as cicada wings. When the breeze hits, it seemed the leaves were gently quivering. It was a sight of luxurious compelling beauty.(1)
At this moment, Ban Hua, who had originally bowed her head, looked up, and a pair of big eyes fell into Rong Xia's line of sight.

The golden leaf on top of Ban Hua's head trembled more severely. 

Ban Hua blinked and smiled gratefully at Rong Xia.

Rong Xia thought, this Jun Princess smiled very pleasingly, eyes bent, like a crescent moon in the sky.(2)

"Cousin niece," Changqing Wang had always been forgiving of beautiful young ladies, so he smiled to Ban Hua, "Come, you come hunting with us."

"Thanks to Cousin uncle." Ban Hua saluted Changqing Wang, then looked at the second prince pretentiously, with a slightly exaggerated expression.

"Don't be afraid, your cousin is just a bit straightforward but he has no bad thoughts," Changqing Wang glared at the second prince, and motioned him not to speak and scare Ban Hua, "What did you hunt ?"

"It's just a fox," Banhua touched the whip on her waist, "His Majesty The Emperor gave me a riding-whip, and I just wanted to hunt a nice little thing and give it to his Majesty." At this point, her beautiful big eyes looked towards the second prince. Her eyes seemed very aggrieved.

The few noble young masters who came with Chanqing Wang looked at the second prince with curious eyes. The second prince even dared to grab a girl's prey. The second prince was odd.

Although this Jun Princess acted a bit recklessly, she was also the granddaughter of the eldest princess. If his majesty wasn't under the protection of the first eldest grand princess, whether he could ascend to the throne or not would be unsure. Now the eldest princess was still alive but the second prince bullied her only granddaughter.

Really Not Kind.

The second prince hadn't been aggrieved like this for a long time. This woman is shameless and unreasonable. Don't know how Marquis Jingting's estate taught her. At any cost, there is still some royal blood on her body. Why is she so unmodest?
The other noble children frowned at him. Although they didn't say a word, the second prince felt that they already despised him in their hearts.

So angry!

That brazen little bitch Ban Hua!

"The young misses from other families, all enjoy the scenery and compose poems, but you came here to hunt. The sword has no eyes, what if it hurts you?" King Changqing glanced at the prey on the horseback of Ban Hua's guard, "Oh, you have a lot of prey"

"I don't like to write poetry and join them in the fun. I would rather hunt"

During the conversation, Ban Hua shot a bird with the bow.
Chanqing Wang shook his head when he saw this. No wonder she had such a beautiful face, but she couldn't find rú yì láng jūn(ideal husband). Most of the men in the world prefer gentlewomen. It is really difficult to deal with one such as Ban Hua.

A man with high status is unwilling to marry her, a man with a low status is not worthy of her, and it is really a headache.

If she had a good temperament, marrying the royal family would also be possible, but unfortunately with this temperament and temper, I am afraid it would not be suitable to stay in the royal family.

 The prey carried up by the guards had a large area of ​ the abdomen stained with blood. When young misses see cute animals, most of them are reluctant to hurt them, but when Ban Hua saw fox she thought of their skins, tail feathers when she saw pheasants, and roasted meat when saw rabbits. 

Marquis Jingting's estate really doesn't know how to teach children, what a beautiful young miss, but what have they taught her?

"Whoosh!"

An arrow shot out suddenly and plunged into the neck of a white deer.

Ban Hua turned her head abruptly and saw Count Cheng An with a flexed bow before he had time to retract it.

"Good archery!"

She thought that a gentleman like Count Cheng An didn't like hunting. After all, these hunts would be bloody.

"The Count is skilled." 

Rong Xia handed the bow to the guard and smiled calmly, "It's just a coincidence."

"Ah!" Ban Hua suddenly clapped her hands, "Hurry up and let someone take something to catch the deer blood. It's a great supplement."

Rong Xia smiled when he heard her words, and told the guard behind him: "What are you still waiting for? Do as the Jun princess said."

"Yes." The guard immediately got off his horse and took a silver pot to collect deer blood.

It was a happy thing that others were willing to follow her good suggestions, so Ban-Hua showed an appreciative smile to Rong-Xia...

The smile made the noble young master's hearts skip a beat. The young masters present felt stunned by the smile.

"It's almost noon." Xie Wanyu stood on her tiptoe and stared towards the forest. Those who went out for hunting should be coming back soon.

While she was thinking about it, a group of people walked out of the forest. The one who walked in the front was Chanqing Wang, and a man and a woman were seen walking alongside him. Xie Wanyu, at a glance, recognized the elegant and noble man as Count Cheng An, and the woman...

Ban Hua?

The woman alongside Count Cheng An is Ban Hua?!
