And, naturally, the people sitting next to each other are people of similar rank, and flattery is just a trick that old officials like to play with each other. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info neither side of this layer of window paper is pierced, and they themselves can play freely. Even if they don't like them on weekdays, they won't say anything more because of the contempt in their hearts at this moment, after all, they also like flattery. If the other party doesn't give himself face in this public in the future, it will be really embarrassing.

Therefore, at such a time, people who are not used to seeing it will stay away, and the conversation will also show the joy of the banquet.

And the last thing she likes is something that looks fluffy and cute, but actually doesn't have much use, like Xiaobai!

So, when the eunuch who counted the number of participants came to the seat where the two of them were sitting, Fu Jiayue asked the eunuch before he asked, "I want to participate." ”

The eunuch nodded, then wrote down her name in the record book, and then naturally turned his head to look at Xie Bai and said, "Is Gongzi Xie ...... the same year as in previous years?"

Xie Bai interrupted: "I will also participate this year. ”

The eunuch was obviously stunned, and his words stammered slightly: "Ahhh ”

After speaking, he secretly regretted what he said, and the hand that immediately recorded it also seemed a little anxious, and the hand holding the record book was a little trembling in a hurry.

The eunuch smiled awkwardly at the two who looked at him coldly, and after a flurry with another sound of pulling the page, he finally finished writing, and immediately couldn't wait to wipe off the fine beads of sweat from the corners of his forehead, and hurriedly fled from this strange and extremely uncomfortable place, and walked briskly towards the next place.

Wei Ke, who was next to the two of them, came to Xie Bai with a wine glass at the moment, and said with a smile: "It's really rare in the world, but Xie San is interested in competing with us this year?"

As he spoke, he drank the wine in the cup in one step.

Xie Bai is not a lonely and arrogant person, he also raised his wine glass at the moment, and after a slight gesture, he raised his head and drank it all, and said: "It's just that this year is particularly interesting, but the competition is dispensable." ”

Wei Ke smiled: "Haha, that's what I said, so, it seems that I am superficial." ”

"People have their own ambitions, each has their own pursuit, everything as long as they are determined to be good, superficial to say, self-reluctant. ”

Although he knew that Xie Bai would not ignore him, Wei Ke definitely didn't expect Xie Bai to say such things to him this time, but he was also a mellow and slippery person in the way of officialdom and friendship, and he didn't show too much joy or surprise on his face at the moment, so he naturally invited: "Xie San is interested in visiting the cave with us at the end of this month?" I heard that it is a new cave found on the outskirts of the city, and many people are interested in participating, you see, today is ......."

Xie Bai said lightly: "I'm not interested." ”

Unreasonable, as expected, there is no regret or embarrassment.

Wei Ke was also a man of good sight, so he immediately toasted Xie Bai and Fu Jiayue again and returned to his seat.

Although there is a certain gap between the Wei family's family and the Xie Mansion, it is also one of the three major families in the capital, surpassing countless families. Wei Ke didn't grow up looking at people's faces, and he lived up to expectations, talented, and connected, so there was no need to go out of his way to please Xie Bai.

It's just that seeing his sister-in-law miss Xie Bai all day long, and recently he has the impulse to live in Xie's Mansion directly regardless of his reputation, it is still necessary for him to help his own sister. If it is said that there is performance, forget it, from today's hunting meeting, she was re-listed to the seat of the Wei Mansion, and the sadness on her face that was forcibly hidden, it can be seen that the only son of the Xie family is afraid that he has not even looked at her.

In fact, he also hated iron and steel very much in his heart, not to mention that Xie Bai had a straight face all day long, as if everyone owed him millions of taels of stinky temper, just said that she was also the first talented woman in the capital, a talented woman with double cultivation, if she wanted, the good men in the entire capital were at her disposal, how could she be affected by these bags!

However, love is uncontrollable, and I can't tell how it is, and I only blame him for being entangled in an urgent matter at that time, and he didn't pick up his sister in time, so that this kind of stinky temper that can't be shaken can take root in her heart.

He is also a visionary person, even if he wants to stifle the stupid love in Wei Qitong's heart, as soon as she returns from Xie Mansion to thank her, he persuades Master Xie to send her out to study for a few months again.

But I still didn't expect it, hey......

Thinking about it, Wei Ke sighed unconsciously, and drank the wine in the cup again sullenly.

Wei Qitong, who had been staring at him from the side, finally couldn't stand it anymore, gently tugged at his sleeve, and whispered: "Brother, how many glasses have you had?" ”

Wei Ke glanced at her, and said helplessly: "Aren't you planning for your heart?"

Listening to this unobstructed tone, the strings in Wei Qitong's heart tightened suddenly, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at Xie Bai, seeing that he did not have an abnormal expression, he immediately put his heart down, but there was still a faint sense of disappointment, and he only increased the strength in his hand a little, and said, "Brother, you be quiet." ”

Wei Ke is not happy, what's wrong with the tone he usually speaks?

Just because of this Xie Bai, he is not allowed to speak normally?

Wei Ke deliberately amplified his tone and said, "What are you afraid of? I have never seen you afraid when you shouted at me on weekdays!"

Wei Qitong's face turned red, but he couldn't do anything about him, so he angrily shook off the sleeve he was holding, turned his head to the side and stopped looking at him: "I ignore you anymore, believe it or not?"

Wei Ke shrugged helplessly, reached out and pulled her shoulder, but she slapped her away, so he had to chuckle and said, "Don't worry, who made you my own sister? With your eldest brother here today, I guarantee that you and your Ruyi Langjun have a lot of opportunities to be alone." ”

Hearing this, Wei Qitong was overjoyed, but he still had an unforgiving look on his face, and he didn't turn his head to look at him.

Since she was a child, Wei Ke has never lost her word about what she promised, not so much because he was unpredictable about Xie Baixin, but because he trusted Wei Ke too much. In her heart, in fact, this brother is like an omnipotent god-like existence, although he is often very down-to-earth in front of her to stink, but this does not affect his image of being able to do things in her heart.

Wei Ke has lived with her for more than ten years, and besides, he still watched her grow up, how could he not know that she is in a good mood now?

And all of this was carried out under the afterglow of Fu Jiayue, she was very bored now, and she was happy to watch this good show. When he came back to his senses, he saw Xie Bai looking at her like a monster, coughing dryly, but he never looked away with interest. I didn't have the heart to continue watching, so I picked up the dessert on the table and ate it.

It happened that it was noon, and everyone was full of food and drink, and when the emperor saw this, he nodded to Bi Fuhai who was waiting on the side.

Bi Fuhai took a step forward and said sharply: "There are a total of twenty people participating in this hunting competition, namely the eldest prince Fu Jiu, the eldest princess Fu Jiayue, Xie Fu Xie Bai, Wei Fu Wei Ke, Wei Qitong ......"

"The contest lasted for two hours, and at the end of the race, the number of animals caught was counted, and the one with the highest number won. For each animal that is larger, one more is added to the number. And no foreign aid can be sought halfway, but the final result is only subject to one person, and the two can agree on their own. ”

Hearing this, the contestants all picked up the weapons they had chosen before, and each walked in a different direction with a small servant who was allowed to bring.

The corners of Fu Jiayue's mouth twitched badly, what kind of competition is this? It can be brought with a small servant, and it can be cooperated in pairs, so what is the meaning of the competition? What is the meaning of the competition?

I have the ability to fight single-handedly!

However, there is a reason for the royal family to be so, and in the name of the competition, it is actually to take the opportunity to investigate the relationship between the forces in the court, and the big factions are easy to know, but it is difficult to know the small factions of sesame mung beans. The embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in the anthill, and it is not unreasonable for the emperor to want to start from the grassroots level.

Moreover, from this competition, occasionally some of the more ambitious people can be glimpsed, that is, those who like to be competitive and competitive, if they are harmless to come to see the situation and reuse it, if it is possible to disturb the court and become the next cancer in the court, then they will uproot him earlier, and slowly weaken his power, so that he has no ability to grasp real power.

However, if you really have the ability to disrupt the court, you will not be stupid enough to stand out in such an inconsequential event.

However, this event is a rule handed down by the ancestors, and it is also taken for granted by the world, and it is also beneficial and harmless to take this opportunity to remove some ants and smash them.

Thinking of this, Fu Jiayue casually picked up the bow and arrow on the weapon rack, put the arrow bag on her back, and was about to set off, but when she turned her head, she saw Xie Bai standing with her hands and looking at her.

I heard him say slowly: "I'm with you." ”

But she easily swirled the bow and arrow in her hand, and then carried it behind her in a dashing manner, tilted her head, and said, "No, today I will come out on top, and it will be a good omen." ”

Xie Bai said: "All the prey I hunt belongs to you. ”

The reason for participating in this competition is that she also participates.

"I want to be self-reliant!" Fu Jiayue said as a matter of course, seeing that Xie Bai still had no intention of giving way, he planned to bypass him, but he was still blocked by his outstretched hand.

Fu Jiayue raised her eyebrows and said, "Father and Queen Mother are all watching there, don't you want to entangle with me now?"

When the emperor and empress, who were sitting not far away, wanted to send someone to ask what was going on, they saw Xie Bai pick up Fu Jiayue and walk towards the depths of the forest.

"Hey, you put me down, you put me down!"

"If you want to attract other people's onlookers, you can be louder. ”

"You-"

Looking at the scene between the two of them, the queen remembered the scene when she was young, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile: "The two of them are actually messing around!"

The chuckle on her cheeks could not help but flush slightly, and the emperor could not help but be a little stunned when he looked at her delicate appearance that had not been shown for many years, and did not feel that the headdress that shone in the warm sunlight as her shoulders shook was dazzling, and he casually lifted a strand of hair that had been blown off by the wind behind her ear for her.

The ministers were all people who knew each other, so they pretended not to see it, neither to look at it, nor to avoid it, but only chatted about their daily routines as before.

It was inconvenient for the women to show their faces in front of the men, so they gathered together and went to rest and chat in the courtyard not far away.

walked to a place where there was no one else, and Xie Bai put Fu Jiayue down.

Fu Jiayue Shi Ran clasped her hands in front of her chest, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you really want to hunt with me?"

When she was in the yang world, she had learned how to tame the beast with her brother, and if he insisted on coming with him, he would be good-looking.

Xie Bai ignored her provocative smile at all, with a slight heaviness on his face, and said, "Today's hunting meeting may change, be careful not to lose your guard." ”

Fu Jiayue didn't expect that such a big event would happen today, she didn't turn a corner for a while, she was a little stunned, but she thought about it, it had been more than a month since the dead man appeared, so thinking about it, it would be strange if they didn't take action again.

Then he chuckled and said, "It's surrounded by the Royal Forest Army inside and out, but you can still sneak in an ant?"

Xie Bai said: "Southern Xinjiang has been a bit noisy this month, and the emperor wants to take this opportunity to thoroughly find out where Fu Wenyong is located." ”

Fu Wenyong, that is, the ninth prince who competed with the emperor for the throne and was relegated to southern Xinjiang, and is now resurrected, is also the person most likely to come into contact with her brother.

Although she was already prepared for seven or eight points in her heart, when she suddenly heard these three words, Fu Jiayue couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

With the brisk expression on his face still from just now, Fu Jiayue raised her eyebrows and said, "His target is you?"

Xie Bai shook his head: "Not only that, but all the important ministers around the emperor. ”

"But shouldn't he kill his old rival first?"

"The merchant does not do unprofitable business, knowing that the emperor has many guards around him, but he still pours heavy troops to kill each other, instead of taking the opportunity to remove the right-hand man who is already ancient but still rich, he is not so stupid. ”

Fu Jiayue chuckled: "So, you relied on this to send most of your troops to hide around here, but instead of protecting the emperor? This is too risky, isn't it? What if he also guessed this about you?"

After collecting Peony, her idea of cultivating her own power was easier to put into practice, not only by her side, but most importantly, by her side, by the side of people who might have entanglements with her. It's not too difficult to know that the emperor might make a move today.

Xie Bai was not surprised at what she knew, and continued: "Whether he guesses it or not, he won't be like this. After dealing with the emperor, it was Fu Jiu who took over the Fu Dynasty, and he would not risk replacing the enemy from someone he had known for decades to someone who knew little about him.
