Chapter 439: Wangxi, Beat Him
"Nature is true. Chu Xuanchi also glanced at Chu Jiangnan, who was sitting quietly beside the King of Chu and did not speak much, and his eyes softened: "The fifth emperor brother will get better soon, and he will not be troubled by illness in the future." ”
He is still like that, as if he lives in his own world, what others say to him, he takes care of it when he is happy, and he doesn't even hum when he is unhappy, even when his father talks to him.
I only saw that the King of Chu on the side was constantly laughing and saying something, and the fifth emperor brother only occasionally responded casually, without too much expression on his face, if he was replaced by someone else, under the emperor's nose, how could he be so arrogant?
However, his fifth emperor brother is indeed used to it, and it has always been like this for so many years, he is not arrogant, but too lazy.
He didn't want to deal with those things that he was too lazy to deal with, and he didn't bother to participate in the open and secret battles in the court, or to win over some personal relationships, even his father and mother were the same, such a person was really not suitable to appear in the court.
Now that the king of Chu is so wooing him, the meaning behind it is not obvious, which is not a good thing for the five emperor brothers.
He withdrew his gaze, and when he looked at the prince, he saw that he was staring at himself for a moment, he just pursed his lips and did not speak.
The crown prince immediately said: "The fourth emperor brother also saw it, the fifth emperor brother won the favor of his father, it seems that the father is planning to entrust him with important tasks after he recovers from his illness this time, maybe it is to give him military power, let him occupy one side like the fourth emperor brother, or maybe it is ......"
"What exactly does the prince want to say?" Chu Xuanchi glanced at him lightly, although his gaze was still soft, the chill in his words rose in an instant.
The prince was startled by the cold in his eyes, and couldn't help but take half a step back.
The crown princess on the side hurriedly supported him, looked at Chu Xuanchi and said with a smile: "What the crown prince means is that the fifth emperor brother will soon be deeply respected by his father, and we are just happy for him, and we have no other intentions." ”
"The king didn't say that the prince meant anything else, and the princess misunderstood. That being said, the chill in his words was known to everyone.
After glancing at the two of them again, he said lightly: "The imperial brother still has to prepare things for hunting, so he won't accompany him, the prince please." ”
Dropping these words, he jumped on his horse and led his horse slowly towards the hunting ground, Dongfang Ming followed closely behind him, completely ignoring these two noble people.
Looking at the two people who walked away, the prince snorted coldly, and the displeasure in his words could no longer be hidden: "Now that even the third emperor brother and the seventh emperor brother have returned, and the fifth emperor brother is so valued by his father, this palace will see how long he can be angry." ”
The crown princess looked at him, and her face couldn't help but stiffen: "How can the crown prince talk like this in front of Prince Xuan? You know that his relationship with Prince Nan has been good since childhood, you want to divide the feelings between the two like this, can he not hear it?"
As soon as she said this, the high-ranking prince actually bowed his head in front of the princess, a little uneasy, but he was still unwilling: "No matter how good the relationship is, there will always be a day of differentiation in front of interests, and this palace doesn't think that their affection can overshadow the temptation of this country." ”
The crown princess glanced at him, and then grabbed him and returned to the crowd they brought: "Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing outside, can you stand the temptation, you and I can't see this, so don't mention it for the time being." ”
“...... Hongu knows. "The crown prince has always listened to the crown princess, although the crown princess gave him enough face in front of people and was always gentle and obedient to him, but after people, the real obedience is this extremely noble status, and he is expected to become the crown prince of the emperor.
The two of them walked a few steps, and then saw Chu Sihai who was preparing the tools for hunting with his subordinates not far away, the prince was stunned, and couldn't help but glance down at the crown princess, and only then did he turn around and walk towards Chu Sihai.
Catching a glimpse of the crown prince and the crown princess coming this way, Chu Sihai hurriedly put down the bow and arrow in his hand and bowed to the two of them: "I've seen the crown prince, the crown princess." ”
"The third emperor brother doesn't have to be polite. The crown prince waved his hand, walked up to him with the crown princess, and said with a smile: "The third emperor brother is heroic today, and this hunting meeting should be a victory." ”
The light in Chu Sihai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't know what was going on at the moment, and after a while, he shook his head and said with a light smile: "The prince is making fun, doesn't the prince know that the annual hunting will always be the fourth emperor brother who is far ahead and takes the lead? ”
The prince's thin lips moved, and he wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say.
In fact, what he said is understandable, since Prince Xuan became an adult, he took down the title of number one every year in the autumn hunt, and they just wanted to have fun.
Although the reward of the first place is very tempting, he can let his father respond to one thing, as long as it does not endanger the society and the country, he will agree unconditionally, which is an absolute temptation for anyone.
However, as long as they can get the top three, everyone can get a valuable reward, so there are still so many people who are keen to participate every year.
As for who takes the first place, everyone doesn't care at all, because this first place will never fall on you.
The prince will also participate every year, but the prince has never won the first position, not that he doesn't care, but everyone knows that in the entire royal family, in terms of horsemanship, archery, and even martial arts, no one can match Lord Xuan.
However, the crown prince still smiled after rolling his eyes: "The third emperor brother doesn't have to be too modest, the third emperor brother just doesn't want to compete with the fourth emperor brother, this palace can see that the third emperor brother's riding and archery skills are ......."
The prince laughed. Before he finished speaking, Chu Sihai had already given up his hand, interrupted his words, and said with a smile: "Although the imperial brother thinks that his archery skills and riding skills are not bad, there is still a distance compared to the fourth imperial brother, so don't make fun of the imperial brother." ”
The crown princess secretly tugged at the corner of the prince's clothes, and the prince hurriedly laughed and said: "This palace is just joking, don't mind the third emperor brother." ”
But as soon as he finished saying this, the crown princess couldn't help but sink her face again, and pulled the corners of his clothes again.
He just praised the third emperor brother's archery and riding skills, no worse than the fourth emperor brother, this time he said it was a joke, can this man speak? If it is a joke, isn't it even more to step on people's faces?
Fortunately, Chu Sihai didn't seem to take his words to heart at all, with a happy smile on his face, he took the long feather arrow from his subordinates, and counted it again, looking like he was wholeheartedly going to devote himself to preparing for the hunt.
The prince felt bored, turned his head and looked at Chu Jiangnan, who was sitting quietly beside the king of Chu and listening to the king of Chu, and still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he said again: "The fourth emperor brother has always been deeply respected by his father, and everyone knows this, but in the future, there will probably be one person who will be favored by his father like the fourth emperor brother, no, maybe it will be more profound than the fourth emperor brother." ”
Chu Sihai's gaze also followed him towards Chu Jiangnan, he was plain white, sitting quietly alone, even if he sat in the crowd, he also had a clear charm that was incompatible with the mundane world.
Chu Sihai couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "The Fifth Emperor Brother has always been like this, clean and clear, there is no dust on his body at all, no matter which direction you look at, he is the cleanest and immaculate person." ”
The crown prince and the crown princess glanced at each other, but they didn't expect the fifth emperor brother to be like this in the eyes of the third emperor brother, and when he said this, it seemed that they were too villainous.
Chu Sihai retracted his gaze and said warmly: "The fifth emperor brother has been silent for so many years, and he has been plagued by illness, and now that he is sick, my father naturally wants to pamper him more, so that he can taste the colorful taste of this world." If the prince has free time, he should also care more about the five emperor brothers, the imperial brother I am in the border city all the year round, and I don't have much time to take care of it, and I have to rely on the prince to do more for the five emperor brothers in the future, so that he can stand on his feet above the court, and don't be bullied as soon as he comes out. ”
With that, he jumped on his horse and led his horse slowly towards the entrance of the hunting ground.
The prince flicked his sleeves, brushed away the dust he left behind, and looked at his figure walking away, and stomped on the ground in anger.
Originally, he thought that he could get any benefits from Xuan Wang Ye and Hai Wang Ye, even if he couldn't get it, at least it would be good for him to have a gap in the hearts of their brothers, but he didn't expect these people to be so rude that they didn't take him to heart at all.
"Look at what kind of attitudes they have!" he said angrily glaring at Chu Sihai's distant back.
The crown princess also looked at Chu Sihai, her eyes were deep, she didn't know what she was thinking, and after a while, she grabbed the prince again, and said softly: "They are all going to prepare, let's go and prepare, although this hunting meeting does not want to rush to the first, but it can't be too bad, the father and grandmother will definitely be watching." ”
Hearing this, the crown prince finally got rid of the anger on his body, snorted coldly at Chu Sihai's back, and then returned to his place with the crown princess.
As soon as he hung his things on the saddle, Chu Dingbei looked up and saw that the four emperor brothers and the third emperor brothers had already come to the entrance of the hunting ground to wait in line, he raised his eyebrows, stepped on the horse in one step, and hurriedly chased after him.
As soon as I greeted them, I turned around and saw Qiqi also straddled the horse, and slowly came this way.
Looking at Wangxi who was sitting under her, his thick eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and when she walked up to him, he was surprised: "You dare to ride the mount of the Fifth Emperor Brother." ”
Qiqi raised his eyebrows and looked disapproving: "Why don't I dare to ride?"
Stretched out his hand and touched Wangxi's mane, and when he looked at Wangxi, his demeanor was many times gentler than when Chu Dingbei was young: "This guy looks down on me, Wangxi, beat him!"
