76. Picnic
85_85279Zhu Di's eyes were bloodshot, like a trapped beast that had lost hope of escaping, and looked at me a little weakly, "You think it's Yun Wei, right?" ”
He'd asked me twice, and I couldn't bear to tell him that he was. In terms of qualifications, seniority, and merit, Zhu Di, the position of the new prince is well deserved. But no matter how many qualifications there are, Zhu Yuanzhang will be happy for a while.
Zhu Di finally lowered his head, "This king knows." ”
I suddenly felt a little distressed, he now seemed haggard and decadent, like a child who had been robbed of his most beloved things, even ...... Helpless.
My mind went blank, so I reached out and grabbed his arm, "Lord Wang, don't be discouraged. ”
Zhu Di raised his head and smiled bitterly, "Why should this king be discouraged, it has nothing to do with this king." After he said this, he slowly paced to the window, looked at Luoying all over the ground, and did not speak for a long time. The room was silent, as if only the sound of our breathing and heartbeat could be heard.
After a long time, I walked up to him and whispered, "Lord, it's a late success." Now is not the time. He turned his eyes to me, "Big deal?" This king just wants to return to Beiping and guard the country for his father, and ...... else Everything else is falling flowers, forget it. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more unabashed his love for his eldest grandson, and sometimes even brought this young man who was just at the age of a weak crown directly to the side of the dragon chair and let him listen to politics.
The ministers who were a little bit eye-catching had already smelled the smell keenly, and began to look at this young man with admiration, and they also began to prepare for the next wave of applause.
Although Zhu Di said that he wanted to return to Beiping, he was delayed until September, when Zhu Yuanzhang issued a holy decree to officially establish a prince, announcing Zhu Yunwen as the emperor's grandson and becoming the successor of the next emperor.
In fact, Zhu Di is not the only sad person, King Ning and King Zhao often come to Yanwang's Mansion for a small gathering, and they usually return drunk, and the most common sentence they say is, "It doesn't matter if our brother doesn't have a few children, the fourth brother has the highest voice, why is my father so confused!" ”
Whenever he said this, Zhu Di turned gray and drank immediately, so that everyone just communicated brotherhood and friendship, and drank a lot.
Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that none of his sons were convinced, so he simply ignored them, and only took Zhu Yunwen to watch the twists and turns every day, except for the court. Everyone is also angry and has nowhere to sow, and there is nowhere to complain if there is injustice.
At the end of September, the Yanwang Mansion and his party packed their packages and set off to return to Beiping. Unlike when he came, Xu Huizu insisted on sending his sister with him, and Zhu Di understood their deep affection for their sister and brother, so he agreed.
With Xu Huizu's journey, it has become very lively. Zhu Yuying and Zhu Yuxian are alive every day because their uncle is here. Several sons also like to be close to Xu Huizu. When I saw Zhu Di, I seemed to avoid cats and mice.
Xu Huizu is personable, handsome, and full of honey, very good at praising people, and the maids and servants like to say a few words to him. I have been silently hiding in the last carriage, never taking half a step to meet people.
On this day, the autumn is crisp and the wind is beautiful. We were passing through a wilderness, with no shops in front of the village and no shops in the back, and at noon, everyone's temples were empty. Xu Huizu jumped off the horse and said to everyone, "It seems that there is no one around here, the weather is quite good today, why don't we live a picnic by ourselves?" ”
Before the adults could answer, the children had already jumped up first, "Yes, yes! What a picnic?! Uncle, teach us! ”
So, all of us got out of the carriage, found a cool and flat place, and laid out several places with cloth, King Yan and the princess's children, the big maids and the grandmothers, the three guards together, and I with a few little girls.
Although there are many people, after all, they are the subordinates of the Yan Palace, how can they be pampered in the palace, they have never seen this battle, and they are all excited, preparing for a picnic. For a while, pots and pans, knives, forks and chopsticks all pounced out. On the way, I carried dry food and water, and after a while, the smoke was puffed up.
Xu Huizu said with a smile, "There is food, but unfortunately there are no dishes, since we have the curtain of the sky and the earth as the table today, we will be heroic once, the men will go hunting with me, let's bring some game back, how about it?" ”
As soon as Xu Huizu's words came out, the guards were ready to move again. Some people even coaxed, "If you want to talk about hunting, our prince is called second, but I'm afraid that no one dares to say that he is the first!" Why don't you take a team with Wang Ye and Xu Gongzi to see if they will come back, who will bring back more game, how about it? ”
All of a sudden, even the little girls started to coax. Zhu Di was silent for a long time, and today seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, his feelings seemed to be getting better, and he said gently, "Autumn is refreshing, it's a good time to hunt." Hui Zu said it well. ”
The men present lined up one by one, led the horses and divided them into two teams, each standing behind Xu Huizu and Zhu Di and ready to go. Ma Sanbao didn't go, quietly came to my side, covered his mouth and chuckled, "Uncle Xu is really a lively person." ”
I glanced at him, "You are afraid that the world will not be chaotic." ”
"I think he's been honest these days, and he hasn't come to harass you. However, Xu Huizu doesn't look like a troublemaker, so I wonder why he did that to you that time. ”
Sanbao is serious, I think of the scene that day, after all, it is still a girl's house, and I feel very ashamed, "Xu Gongzi followed us all the way, is it really to send the princess?" ”
"I don't know, I've been observing every day for the past few days, and I haven't seen much of what Gongzi Xu and the princess have said." Sanbao looked suspicious, turned his head and smiled, "I mingle with the little girls every day, and I am willing to be small and low, and it is not a problem to serve tea and water." General Xu was so brave back then, how did he raise such a stormy son. ”
I pouted,
"Sanbao, you're not a person who chews the root of your tongue, why do you say so many useless things to me?"
Sanbao hurriedly stopped his mouth, "I haven't accumulated virtue recently, and I've done my best." They go hunting, do you want to go and play? ”
"I don't know how to hunt." I shook my head, indicating that I wasn't interested.
"Heck, I'm the last person I like to compete with other people, so I don't even bother to go with them. Come on, let's form a team too, let's fight and eat by ourselves, how about it? We will not touch their light, nor will they take advantage of us. ”
"Really?" I clapped my hands and applauded, "This is okay!" I'm good at archery, but I don't know how to ride a horse. ”
"You know how to do archery? That's great, one of us is riding, the other is dabbling, what a wonderful combination! Sanbao couldn't help but say, he had already brought a tall horse, and said with a smile, "Quick, take advantage of no one's attention, go up!" ”
I stepped on my horse and jumped up, and in an instant we were in the woods.
Sampo has always been a horse boy in my eyes, and I have never seen him show his riding skills, but today it was an eye-opener for me to ride his horse at a gallop, and I was not afraid. Behind him, I also feel very relieved, which is different from the kind of peace of mind brought by Zhu Di. It seems that as long as he is with Sanbao, no matter what happens, he can slowly and calmly tell you clearly, and it is not a big deal in the end.
This forest has probably been ransacked by the two teams in front of it just now, and the prey doesn't know where to hide. Sanbao slowed down, "It looks like we're going inside, there's nothing to fight here." ”
So we rode further and further in, and gradually reached the hinterland, where even the sunlight was blocked by the thick towering leaves, and it was eerie. Suddenly, all the way the little rabbit crossed, Sanbao stretched out his index finger and shuttered at his lips, "Archer, it's your turn!" ”
I drew my bow and aimed at the rabbit that was scratching its ears and cheeks by a tree. An arrow was fired, and the rabbit stumbled a few steps before falling to the ground.
Sanbao clapped his hands and applauded, "I really didn't see it!" When the girls see such a cute little animal, let alone shoot it, don't they all hurt and can't hurt? You're really going to kill someone with one arrow!"
I smiled disappreciatively, sister, I have killed fewer survivors in the Jinyi Health Department, but I am afraid that the person who kills will make you scared when you say it, what is a rabbit. "What to pretend, we eat less meat every day."
So saying, I jumped off my horse and walked towards the rabbit.
Picking up the rabbit, I turned around and walked towards Ma Sanbao, holding the rabbit in my hand, and smiled at Sanbao, "Sanbao, look, this rabbit is fat......"
Before I finished speaking, I saw Sanbao's face gradually turn frightened, and his face turned white. It was as if I had seen something terribly frightened. I was about to ask what was wrong, but Sanbao hurriedly waved his hand. That's when I realized that there was danger behind me, and it was still a terrible danger.
Although Sanbao had already hinted at me not to look back, I still subconsciously turned back. This time, I was scared to the point of losing my soul.
Where the rabbit stood just now under the tree, there stood a majestic tiger! The tiger turned its head slightly, opened its bloody mouth, and seemed to demonstrate against me.
My legs went limp. The tiger should still be thinking about how to do something to the food in front of him at this time, and he is also watching, and he is not coming to my side.
There was still some blood left by rabbits on the ground, and it looked down and sniffed, letting out a low roar. I moved back step by step, and suddenly, as if sensing my movements, the tiger stretched out its paws and yawned fishyly, and came towards me.
I knew that I should not panic at this time, so I quickly turned my mind to think of countermeasures. The tiger was getting closer and closer to me, and I reached out and threw the rabbit in my hand, turned and turned into two steps and galloped towards the horse of Sanbao. Seeing that I was about to take Sanbao's hand, the tiger suddenly became angry, roared, and galloped towards us, and the horse was frightened, neighed, and ran away
