Chapter 346: Hunting Banquet
Soon breakfast was served at the camp, and the day-long hunting was about to begin. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The location of the hunting enclosure has already been determined, and it has never been up the mountain, and the surrounding area is heavily guarded, and there will be no more idle people in the whole enclosure except for the birds and animals that are the prey.
Led by the emperor, each man who entered the hall was accompanied by a guard with strong martial arts skills to help pick up prey and take care of the safety of these delicate and noble sons.
The emperor naturally just shot two roe deer that were specially driven by the palace people on the periphery of the enclosure to make a show, and after getting everyone's cheers, the two prey shot by the emperor himself were picked up by the imperial chef in the dining room, carefully cooked into meat with exquisite ingredients, and then brought back to the ladies and daughters, but it was also a taste in advance.
After the emperor showed his majesty and used his fists and kicks, this paddock was now the world of young people.
The princes who have become adults are sitting heroically on the tall horses, carrying swords at their waists, arrows on their shoulders, and holding longbows in their hands.
The ladies of the family sat on the seat, shyly and timidly peeking at their favorite people, and the scene at this time added to their radiance, and this tenderness and sweetness were almost uncontrollable.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and raised his voice: "Emperors, the hunting ground at this time is your territory, so let's all gallop there!"
The princes sat upright on their horses, and their young and handsome faces were almost filled with an unstoppable smile, and they replied in a loud voice: "Yes!
The sharp voice of the chamberlain standing beside the emperor suddenly resounded through the camp, "The emperor has a decree!
Although the dozens of people who followed closely behind the princes were not as dazzling and dazzling as the princes, they were all beautiful sons in the turbid world, and this scene at this time was really eye-catching.
Qi Nian sat in the banquet, raised his eyes, and saw Li Jinjian in the crowd at a glance.
He is so radiant and gorgeous, although everyone is good, but as long as he is around, he has become the star of the stars and the moon, the foil of red flowers and green leaves.
Li Jinjian was obviously looking at her as well, and the moment their eyes met in the air, they couldn't help but smile in their hearts.
What is heart-to-heart, I think so.
After listening to the edict of the inner servant, Li Jinjian, who was smiling like a breeze and a bright moon, suddenly had a faint momentum of ambition in his indifferent smile.
Qi Nian immediately understood what he was thinking in his heart, didn't he want to come out on top, and then ask the emperor to give him a marriage, right?
Suddenly thinking of this, her mood suddenly became complicated, as if she had knocked over the spice jar, and for a while she couldn't even see herself clearly, what she was looking forward to.
Just as she withdrew her gaze, she suddenly felt that another very strong gaze was also looking at her, and she had to look back to see what was sacred.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Li Jinxian.
His gaze was the same as Li Jinjian's, as if he was confident, and he was bound to win.
The barrier of the enclosure had been removed, and the princes at the forefront had already turned their horses' heads, waiting for an order, and then reined in and drove straight in.
Qi Nian's mind suddenly had a very bad idea.
Combined with the inexplicable words that Li Jinxian said last night, and looking at his particularly unkind gaze, could it be that he and Li Jinjian had the same thoughts, planning to get the winner of this hunt and ask the emperor for marriage?
Her heart, which was originally hanging high because of Li Jinjian, suddenly fell to the bottom.
At this time, the order had been given, and a group of young men dressed in short clothes were suddenly like wild horses that had escaped from the bridle, and plunged into the paddock of the vast woods.
At this time, there is no turning back from drawing the bow and shooting arrows, and since the situation is irreparable, it can only be peaceful.
The emperor sat in the first specially built curtain, and the layers of layers could not see the situation inside, and all the imperial concubines sat around the emperor, and none of them could see anyone.
Outside, as in the past, there are various banquets, those who sit close to the emperor must be positioned as high and powerful, and those who are insignificant can naturally only surround the periphery from afar, and even the emperor's dragon face cannot be seen, and there are many people.
In this Changle City, whether it is a royal family or a high-ranking official, what they are best at is to drag out the banquet that attracts interpersonal relationships for a long time, saying that it is just the hour of a meal, but in fact, you have to delay the whole day from morning to night.
The current banquet is a good example, and I have to mention it.
Because of the curtain at this time, the rules are not as strict as that, if anyone is tired of sitting, leave a girl present to watch, and then he can go back to rest first.
It's past noon, when it's a little hot outside, almost half of the ladies of the family at this banquet have gone, and the rest are struggling to support, after all, maybe there will be a chance to fall from the sky and hit the people present, and those who are lazy to go back to rest don't have this blessing.
Qi Nian was only very uneasy because of her own guesses, and Hua Yuyun, who had been chattering around her all the time, pulled her to look at this and that, which really lifted her spirits, and she didn't feel how tired she was after sitting for most of the day.
Somehow, I didn't see Qi Shu during this banquet, could it be that Li Jinyu didn't bring her out?
However, at this time, even Li Jinyu rushed into the paddock in response to the emperor's will to be rewarded, and it really didn't matter if such a dispensable side concubine was not present.
And Hua Yurong, who was sitting next to her, restrained her arrogance as always, except that when she found out that Li Jinxian was looking at Qi Nian, she couldn't help but glared at Qi Nian fiercely several times, and at other times she had been wilting and had no energy, and she didn't care about finding faults.
Of course, according to her plummeting identity at this time, Qi Nian is already worthy of thankfulness if she doesn't find her stubble.
For lunch, the dishes were made with the meat of the emperor's prey, and they were really delicious and appetizing.
At this time, the toast glasses were staggered, and the entertainment made this boring banquet a little lively, and after lunch, it became even more boring.
It wasn't until sunset that the long hunt came to an end, and people were already coming back one after another.
The sons of the family are naturally very discerning, and no one competes with the princes for the limelight, and they all hunt no more and no less prey, so it's just enough to stop.
The camp suddenly became lively again, and the emperor also ordered people to pull the curtains that fell in front of him, and only sat on the dragon couch, watching with interest the people below count their prey one by one.
