55.Chapter 55
The sound of the horn ...... faintly came, which was a signal to recruit the hunting team in the forest to go back. In front of a wooden house in the forest, several young girls gathered together, and there were many prey on the ground.
Duan Yan looked at the prey handed over by several girls, and was a little dissatisfied, "That's all?" ”
"We're going to keep a few too." The girl in the rose purple riding costume was not very happy, everyone was in a game. It's one thing to help Duan Yan, but you can't let a few of them go back bare-handed.
"Okay." Duan Yan also knew that she couldn't force it anymore, but these prey, plus hers, she wasn't too sure that she could win all the noble girls.
"You don't want to win against Su Shi Niang, these should be enough." is still the girl in the rose purple riding costume, she and Duan Yan are cousins, and they don't have so many scruples when they talk, "I met her once in the forest before, and I didn't see how much prey she had. The little lady who came out of the soft wind and soft rain in the south of the Yangtze River can ride a horse and hold a bow, do you really think that she often comes to run horses and hunt like us? ”
The little girl standing next to her emperor also added softly, "I've seen her too, and I didn't even bring a hound." There was some disdain in his tone, "Maybe we can't compare to her compared to our talent, who let us not grow up in Jiangnan, where poetry and books are stained." However, when it comes to hunting, the two Su Shi Niang combined, it can't work! ”
Duan Yan was a little moved by what they said, and besides, there was nothing she could do now except think about it, so she couldn't really let these friends go back bare-handed.
Duan Yan thanked a little helplessly: "Thank you sisters, when the autumn hunt is over, I will post a post to invite everyone to go to my home to play." Now, let's ...... first" After the words were still dusty, I heard a noise in the forest, and several girls turned their heads to look, and saw Princess Huyang and Princess Changle coming under the protection of the guards.
Princess Huyang glanced at Duan Yan, frowned slightly, and waved her hand behind her, "Take it all." ”
"Yes."
Duan Yan saw a team of guards either carrying or resisting or lifting a lot of prey and throwing them on the ground, she suddenly looked up at Princess Huyang, her eyes were full of disbelief.
Princess Huyang said lightly: "Don't put it away yet." ”
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Duan Yan hurriedly blessed her body and smiled gratefully.
Princess Changle frowned slightly, and said impatiently: "If you want to be the crown princess, you have to learn to be smarter, and don't show that stupid smile anymore." ”
Duan Yan was a little aggrieved, where was she stupid, in terms of appearance, talent, and family background, there were a few little ladies in the capital who could catch up with her. To tell the truth, she felt that some princesses in the palace were not as good as her. It's just that she can be reincarnated and become the daughter of a saint, so that she can be overwhelmed in status.
Princess Huyang glanced sideways at her sister, and Princess Changle angrily threw off her horsewhip and muttered in a low voice: "Originally, no one is allowed to say it." ”
Princess Huyang coughed lightly, and Princess Changle rolled her eyes, but stopped making a sound.
"Let's go back" Princess Huyang said: "Ah Yan takes her things and leaves first, let's wait for a while, and then leave in batches." "Although everyone knows that the prey of these little ladies has water, who would say? This time, she didn't believe that Ah Yan could still lose to Su Shi Niang.
There are really a lot of people who are also worried about Su Yan, and Zhu Erniang happened to meet the two sisters Liu Chunjiao. Zhu Erniang is as dignified and generous as ever, and her words are soft. It's just that when Liu Chunjiao mentioned Su Yan, he still stiffened slightly. "Shi Niang grew up in Jiangnan, and it is normal not to be good at hunting."
Liu Chunjiao covered her lips and chuckled, and there was a little schadenfreude hidden in her curved apricot eyes, "Oh, if Shi Niang is really at the bottom, I won't ask for anything else, just let her paint a portrait for me." ”
Song Wan happened to follow, and when he heard this, he sneered: "Don't say that you seem to be the first, and you are not ashamed." ”
Liu Chunjiao wanted to sneer at each other, but after seeing that the person who spoke was Song Wan, she had to swallow back the words that came to her lips, and her face turned red.
Liu Qiutong hurriedly said: "According to the previous rules, the top three have the right to let people do one thing." My sister can't get the first place, but it's still okay to do Tanhua. ”
"Huh." Song Wan sneered twice, beat the horse and left.
Liu Chunjiao clenched her fists and said angrily: "Isn't it just a county monarch, even more arrogant than a princess." ”
Liu Qiutong hurriedly pulled her sister and signaled to her with her eyes, there are still people.
Zhu Erniang smiled indifferently and persuaded kindly: "Auntie, after all, Anhe Junjun is the daughter of the eldest princess, and the county monarch who is personally crowned by the saint, you should tolerate one or two." ”
Liu Chunjiao is the first daughter in the family, she has been spoiled by her parents since she was a child, and her temperament is more pampered than her sister. Hearing Zhu Erniang say this, although she knew that she had good intentions, she was still unhappy, and her face was not very good.
Liu Qiutong smiled apologetically at Zhu Erniang, and quickly changed the topic, "It's not early, let's go back......" Her words became slower and lighter, her eyes stared at the two of them widely, and her face was full of sluggishness.
Zhu Erniang and Liu Chunjiao were aware, and when they turned around at the same time, they were stunned for a while.
King An and King Qi came side by side, followed by a delicate maiden of King Qi, who sat on her side on a horse, as if she was injured, her little face was pale, and there were tears in her eyes.
They all know that girl, the fourth lady of the Yasukuni Mansion. How could she follow King Qi, looking at King Qi's attitude, it seems that the two have a good relationship. Liu Chunjiao and Liu Qiutong glanced at each other, feeling that they knew something. Zhu Erniang was very dignified and decent, and the sisters of the Liu family hurriedly followed. King An has always been smiling and gentle, he stretched out his hand to help, "A few girls don't have to be polite." Are the girls ready to return to camp? It's better to let Brother Xiao Wang give you a ride. ”
Of course it is good to be able to get along with the two single princes for a while, and the Liu Chunjiao sisters readily agreed, but Zhu Erniang was a little hesitant. Liu Qiutong whispered: "Sister Zhu doesn't have to worry, there are still our sisters here." ”
Zhu Erniang nodded silently, King An had spoken, and it was not good to really leave. She regretted a little why she didn't leave earlier, and only hoped that she would meet as few people as possible in a while.
Things often don't go according to people's wishes, about this is already on the edge of the mountain forest, and it is relatively close to Shangyangmen, so there are many people who choose to go out of the forest from here. After a few people left, they heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and at the same time, a clear male voice sounded, "Second brother, fourth brother." ”
There was no need for the guards to report, a few people knew who it was as soon as they heard it, and at the same time turned around to look, not only the fifth prince King Zhao was there, but also the third prince King Zhou and the sixth prince King Wu were also there. It can be said that, except for the crown prince, the sons of the saint who have grown up are all gathered.
Zhu Erniang's eyes were sharp, and she found that in the team of the three princes, there was also a little lady, the seventh lady of the Yasukuni Mansion. Liu Chunjiao and Su Rong had a good relationship, and they smiled and raised their hands to say hello, "Qi Niang, how is the harvest?" ”
Su Rong's expression was a little indifferent, she bent her lips, and simply replied with two words: "It's okay." ”
"Seventh sister." Su Yunlan called out weakly.
Su Rong had already seen her, and in front of everyone, it was not good to ignore her, so he could only make a concerned appearance and drive over, "Fourth sister, what's wrong?" Where did it hurt? ”
Su Yunlan's eyes were red, and she pretended to be strong and said, "I'm fine, but I've broken my foot, just go back and apply ice cubes." ”
Su Rong didn't say anything yet, and the fourth prince, King Qi, disagreed first, "It's not a trivial matter to break your foot, you can even ask a doctor, just apply it at will." He glanced at Su Rong and said with a pun: "If your family finds it troublesome, I'll call a doctor over." ”
Su Rong smiled faintly and refused very politely, "Don't dare to bother Your Highness." After speaking, he instructed the guards behind him, "Take the fourth sister, let's go back first." ”
The fourth prince saw that Su Rongniao didn't bird him, so he took Su Yunlan and left directly. He laughed playfully: "This Seventh Lady is more interesting than her sister. ”
The third prince glared at the fourth prince coldly, and drank unhappily: "Fourth brother, be cautious!" ”
"Humph!" The fourth prince usually doesn't deal with the third prince, but if it weren't for the second prince, King An, who gave him a look, he would be able to pinch the third prince now.
Since the death of the emperor's eldest son, King An is the eldest brother of these princes, and he suppressed the four princes, "It's not too early, we should go back." ”
The group got on the horse and soon returned to Shangyang Gate. Sure enough, most of the people returned, but only a few generals did not return, and they thought they had gone further into the mountains.
King An looked around and found that the prince was not there.
"The prince hasn't come back yet?" He casually called a little eunuch over.
The little eunuch lowered his eyebrows and replied obediently: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not returned yet." ”
"What about the saints?"
"The saint returned an hour ago."
"Oh, there you go." King An casually threw a purse, and the little eunuch saluted happily, "Thank Your Highness for your reward." ”
Seeing that it was not early, the returning young men and women gathered together to laugh, counting each other's prey, thinking about their own rankings this autumn.
The emperor has already come out, and he originally smiled and followed the ministers and concubines who were close to him, but as the prince did not return for a long time, the emperor was also a little anxious. Su Zhoucheng was also anxious over there, and his daughter didn't come back!
The emperor was about to send someone to look for him, when he heard the cry of an eagle from far and near. The emperor hurriedly looked up, and two vigorous figures, one black and one white, were hovering over everyone's heads.
The guards all drew their bows and arrows, but were stopped by the emperor waving his hand, "It should be Xiaobai." "But whose is that Black Hawk? What the prince bringed? He wasn't sure. As soon as Su Zhoucheng saw Xiaobai, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his daughter was back.
The emperor just wanted to laugh at him, when he saw a group of people coming from afar, and there were many of them. When it got closer, the emperor was happy, Su Zhoucheng was heartbroken, and the prince and Su Yan came back together.
Wait, what's that just with the prince and the ten ladies on the horse? The emperor's eyes widened, he reached out and grabbed Su Zhoucheng, shaking his hands in disbelief, "What's that next to Qilang?" ”
Su Zhoucheng was also trembling, "Yes...... It's a leopard, right...... Your Highness still raises this? "The saint is so bold that he dares to let his son raise this.
", I won't let my son raise such a thing by his side!" The accident was too sudden, and the emperor had some jokes.
