Chapter 120: Yard Hunting
Xu Jinghao glanced at him and said, "This king asked you something!" What do you think Steward Zhang does? ”
Feng Xuanyi said lightly: "Master, I don't know what you mean by this?" I didn't have anything to do yesterday, maybe the master got married yesterday, and I slept very sweetly yesterday. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Xu Jinghao looked at him suspiciously, and said, "The princess gave you the wine yesterday, and you didn't react when you went back?" ”
As soon as Feng Xuanyi wanted to speak, he heard the housekeeper Zhang Sheng smile and said: "Don't say there is no reaction, yesterday Feng Xuanyi walked out of the prince's room and kept pulling the old man to play chess all night, until just now he let the old man go, but Xuanyi, this child, is a little backward in chess skills, I don't know if it is a matter of not playing." ”
Feng Xuanyi was a little suspicious when he heard the housekeeper Zhang Sheng say this, but he knew that the housekeeper would never harm him, so he also nodded and said, "That's because the time is too rushed, if you give me more time, I will definitely win you." ”
Xu Jinghao was a little suspicious: "Since you played chess yesterday, why didn't you tell the truth just now?" ”
A hint of blush flashed on Feng Xuanyi's face and said: "The master often says that the plaything is demoralized, and I pull the housekeeper to play chess, for fear that the master will say ......."
Xu Jinghao suddenly threw down his sword and looked at Feng Xuanyi's bleeding arm, and said, "Butler, you can help him bandage it." The anger on his face seemed to dissipate a lot, and then he said: "Martial arts have regressed so much, no wonder I stabbed you." With that, he took the lead and left the study.
After a long time, Feng Xuanyi looked at the housekeeper and asked, "I know, you don't usually frame me, but why did you let me lie just now?" ”
At this time, the housekeeper took out a medicine box, rummaged in it for a long time, took out the best red medicine, helped him sit down, rolled up his sleeves and gave him medicine, but Feng Xuanyi gasped and said, "You slow down." ”
"Do you remember what I told you last night?"
Feng Xuanyi thought for a moment and said, "You said too much yesterday, which sentence do you mean?" ”
The housekeeper Zhang Sheng said lightly: "Of course it's about Madame." ”
Feng Xuanyi thought for a while, and then said lightly: "You said that Mrs. is also a pitiful you, if you can almost help her, help her." ”
The housekeeper smiled, then used a bandage to help him wrap the wound, and said, "Yesterday, the prince and the princess had a round house." ”
Feng Xuanyi was immediately shocked when he heard this, and immediately stood up, but forgot that his left arm was still in the hand of the housekeeper Zhang Sheng, and he sat down in pain again.
Zhang Sheng glanced at him and said, "What kind of expression are you, don't you want to help the princess?" ”
Feng Xuanyi thought that when the princess used medicine to design the master, at that time, the master would rather soak in ice water than ...... But now the prince is this? He suddenly understood and said, "Could it be that the princess designed the master!" ”
Zhang Sheng looked at the door of the room and said, "Be quiet, don't you want to have a little master soon?" ”
Feng Xuanyi felt that this was true, but he always felt that the master was designed, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart, thinking like this, he could understand why the master was so angry so early.
"The princess has been married to the prince for three years, but she is not fast, even if the princess has other women in his heart, but the princess is innocent after all, is it necessary to be widowed if she marries the prince?" Zhang Xianzhi said with affection and reason, just looking at Feng Xuanyi nodding again and again, naturally agreeing with what he said.
Sioux House.
When Su Ruohan returned home, she saw that the eldest lady was still worried, and glanced at Su Ruohan as if she didn't see it, and then saw Su Jinghong, and she was also worried, presumably the eldest sister Su Yanyan disappeared suddenly, he must have not rested all night, Su Ruohan thought about going back to change clothes first, and heard Su Jinghong say to her: "You hurry up and put on the clothes that enter the palace, today the emperor decrees to invite all the ministers and family members." ”
Su Ruohan was a little strange and said, "What are you doing?" ”
Su Jinghong just said lightly: "Paddock hunting." ”
On the vast meadow, I saw a man in bright yellow clothes riding a tall horse, running in front of the horse, the emperor was rarely happy, and took some generals and princes out to hunt.
This trip must bring his favorite concubine Li Ji Niangniang, as well as Shangguan Yue, who is inseparable from him, and except for the crown prince, the other princes are all dressed up to attend.
The emperor continued to run, looked back at the princes behind him, and shouted heroically: "Show the royal majesty, you are all my sons, you must be better than the blue, you can ride and shoot is the true color of Shengjing people, each of you, take out the housekeeping skills!" The person with the best hunting performance today is greatly rewarded! ”
The person who followed the emperor on horseback was the third prince Xu Jinghao, and he saw that he followed closely behind the emperor in the first place, not surpassing, nor lagging behind, such a distance was very appropriate, and the spectators sitting in the hunting ground ring also applauded and interacted, after all, the identity of the three princes is not ordinary now, and he is also the most outstanding one among the princes, in the past he was just an idle prince, but now he is sharp, and it is difficult for people who do nothing in the royal family to get ahead, However, people like the three princes can quickly stand out among the princes, and their future career can be seen to be very macroscopic!
As soon as the emperor's words fell, he heard Xu Jinghao say loudly: "Yes, father, the ministers there are not welcome!" The tone is the same as the emperor's tone, it can really be described as a dragon giving birth to a dragon.
"You're welcome, though! I want to see how your riding and archery goes? So saying, the emperor raised his whip and ran forward.
Xu Jinghao was still pressing behind him step by step, not detached, nor lagging behind, but he pulled his bow full of arrows, and with a whoosh, the sharp arrow shot out, just in front of a rabbit shot.
The emperor looked back and smiled: "It's just a rabbit, not your real ability!" ”
"Father, emperor, and son, want to list a big one!" As he spoke, he clamped his horse's back and leaped past the emperor, but the emperor was not angry, smiled, and said: "True, the blue is better than the blue!" ”
The fifth prince is also quite deep in the city, and he knows that the third brother is the only one now, and it is not easy to win his demeanor, but seeing that Xu Jinghao plans to hunt for today's top prize, he is not to be outdone, and he grabbed the horse rope and ran away quickly. "Third brother, hunting big game, how can you miss me."
His Royal Highness the Seventh didn't like such a scene originally, just wandering back and forth on the hunting ground like an idle prince, and he didn't dabble in it, but his figure was wandering around the princes, very conservative.
Suddenly I saw a cheetah in the grass, the cheetah ran very fast, originally the cheetah was going to bite the horse in turn, but the rain of sharp arrows shot at it, it also turned around and ran, causing the princes behind him to run and want to capture it alive.
"This leopard is mine!" The three princes pulled the horse rope and jumped forward.
The fifth prince smiled and said, "Third brother, this cheetah is here, and it is difficult for you to hunt it." ”
"Fifth brother, you will definitely lose to me!" The third prince, Xu Jinghao, said with a smile.
"In that case, show your real skills!" The tone was already very disdainful, Xu Jinghao sped up again, and shook off the five princes with a big step.
The two princes seemed to be on the same page as this cheetah, shouting at each other on the one hand, and chasing the thunder leopard on the other.
The emperor had already tightened the reins at this moment, stood firmly and watched his two sons chasing the cheetah, and said to the seven princes behind him with a smile: "Xu Han, why don't you go?" ”
Xu Han, the seventh prince, couldn't help but smile and said: "The two elder brothers are both brave and good at fighting, and they are both good at riding and shooting kung fu on horseback, so the son will not go to sacrifice ugliness, wait until he sees the little rabbit or something, and he will not let it go." ”
The Emperor burst out laughing and said, "You have always been so soft-hearted. ”
"Isn't it okay to be too kind? The father has always been a kind father in the hearts of his sons. The Emperor's laughter was even more urgent.
The horses' hooves were trampling, the pennants were flying, and the people on the hunting platform were cheering.
Su Ruohan sat down with all the female dependents and watched the hunting ground under the stage below, and beside her was the pearl of King Lin Qin's palm, Lin Peiling, she is nineteen years old this year, her eyes are above the top, but she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can be described as an example of a famous daughter. The lips are red without dotting, the eyebrows are green without painting, the face is like a silver basin, and the eyes are like apricots. And the woman sitting next to her is the second daughter of Lord Haoduohao, her name is Hao Ling'er, she is dressed in a bright Jiangnan purple and gold gown, her appearance is delicate, and her complexion is white and greasy. She wore a green brocade leather jacket, the color was very bright, but under the light of her countenance, even the most brilliant brocade looked colorless.
The paddock hunting is very spectacular at the moment, the third prince Xu Jinghao and the fifth prince Xu Shengrui are also very powerful in riding and shooting, growing up on horseback, the two of them do not let each other, so that the ladies in the stands cheered even more, and they all shouted again and again: "Okay!" ”
At this time, the third prince took out a sharp arrow, and filled the bow with one fell swoop, and with a "whoosh" sound, the sharp arrow shot out, and then the leopard quickly dodged, as if there were eyes on the back of the head, the leopard was already very athletic, at this time the fifth prince saw Xu Jinghao's sharp arrow miss, and then smiled: "The third brother is going to aim and shoot again, so he can't eat hot tofu with such a scheming." ”
Xu Jinghao was not angry, but said lightly: "Don't bother with this fifth brother, after all, this leopard will be mine sooner or later." His tone was burning, with a tone of ambition.
The five princes still followed closely, and there was a great opportunity to overtake his formation, at this time the leopard suddenly turned around and turned around, and the five princes were too late to be flashed by the leopard, and almost fell off the horse, but fortunately he grabbed the reins.
The third prince, Xu Jinghao, smiled heartily and said, "Beasts are also wise, so you have to use your brains too." This is obviously to say that the five princes don't use their brains when hunting, and such arrogant words actually came out of the mouth of the third prince.
The fifth prince was stunned for a moment, and was suddenly stunned, the third prince is usually very deferential and polite, but after he got the affirmation of his father, he seemed to be a different person, did he really want to compete for the throne? For these three, he is becoming more and more incomprehensible.
On the hunting table.
Lin Peiling shook the banana fan in her hand, on the fan was a carved view of the white bird rising sun, and under the fan was a natural agate stone, the agate was crystal clear and knew that it was worth a lot, but she actually killed the heavenly object hanging on a fan.
"I wonder if this cheetah was hunted by the third prince or the fifth prince?" Lin Peiling obviously wanted to bet when she said this, and sure enough, she heard Hao Ling'er say in a very pertinent tone: "This is naturally the fifth prince." ”
Obviously, Hao Linger only spoke for him because the fifth prince had not married yet, which shows that Hao Linger is also a simple-hearted person.
Su Ruohan was just tasting the Pu'er fragrant tea used by the royal family alone, and she took a sip lightly, not planning to join the conversation between the two young ladies who liked to gossip. But soon, her mood of wanting to watch the hunt quietly was interrupted, so she listened to Lin Peiling and said lightly: "I think that the third prince's riding and archery skills are far higher than any prince's, and I think it is easiest for the third prince to win the championship in one fell swoop." ”
Su Ruohan was just faint, at this moment she lowered her head and drank tea, Pu'er is really a holy product in tea, no wonder it is a thing that is honored by the royal throne.
"Sister Ruohan, who do you guess will win?" Lin Peiling asked.
Su Ruohan smiled faintly and said, "It's hard to guess whether this horseback hunting wins or loses, how will I know." ”
"Then guess what, it's good to ask for a lottery." Hao Linger also joined in, wanting to know who was the first place in Su Ruohan's eyes?
In fact, both of them have a careful mind, because there were rumors that Xu Jinghao and Su Ruohan had a very good relationship between the two before, but later the third prince actually married the princess Xia Wanyi of the neighboring country, and then married her eldest sister Su Yanyan.
Su Ruohan just said lightly: "I think that although the Seventh Prince didn't show any surprise, I would like to believe that he would be the first person to hunt leopards!" ”
Lin Peiling and Hao Ling'er also showed a little disdain when they heard this, and couldn't help but think that maybe she was trying to break off her relationship with Xu Jinghao, so she said such a little-known Seventh Prince!
The two young ladies only felt that it was no longer interesting, so they only concentrated on the hunt.
At the same time, in the woods of the paddock, a man in a brocade dress with a hint of blush on his face, and the horse beneath her began, the horse neighed wildly, and a group of guards by her side followed closely, and the flag fluttered.
At this time, this man in military uniform suddenly went out hunting, and even joined the cheetah battle between the third prince and the fifth prince.
There was a burst of cheers and applause on the hunting platform, and there were even shouts of goodness, and everyone on the hunting platform looked eagerly at who the man in the white uniform was? Is there such a heroic man among the princes! Just watch her quickly clamp the horse's back, and then raise her whip, surpassing the two princes, the speed is as fast as the wind and wrinkled like lightning, and the transformation is only in an instant!
The emperor laughed out loud and said, "Who is this heroic son?" ”
The Seventh Prince looked at it fixedly, and suddenly realized that he smiled: "This is not ......" and then in order to create an atmosphere, he also shook his head and pretended not to know.
The emperor raised his horsewhip and said, "Let's go and see it too." As he spoke, he rushed up, and the Seventh Prince also shook his head, he didn't expect her to come? It's a lot of fun.
The emperor and the three princes walked side by side, galloping on horses, and the emperor smiled: "Originally, yesterday was the night of candles in your cave room, but I asked you to come over to hunt today, are you not convinced?" ”
The third prince laughed loudly: "The son only respects his father, where does he come from to be unconvinced." ”
"Then you're very happy with my marriage."
The father and son briefly talked a few words, and then ran towards the cheetah.
A cheetah loves to run in the jungle, and it is clearly frightened.
The horses' hooves were flying, the horns were sounding, and for a time the animals in the forest fled in all directions, panicking.
Not to be left behind, the five princes rode away, and actually grabbed ahead of the three princes and the emperor, taking the lead, shouting: "This thunder leopard has been exhausted by our chasing, the third brother, the father, and the sons are going to take the lead!" ”
The fifth prince drew his bow and aimed, but the seventh prince smiled, exclaimed, and said to the emperor and the third prince on the side, as well as the man in military uniform: "Look, there is a tiger over there?" ”
As soon as the fifth prince heard that there was a tiger, he immediately put down his bow and arrows and said, "Tiger? Where are the tigers? "This tiger is the biggest prey in the jungle, and it is clear that even if a leopard is caught, it is not as pleasant as a tiger to hunt, so I look around.
The third prince hurriedly drew his bow, aimed at the cheetah, and laughed: "The soldiers are not tired of cheating, and they have conceded!" As he spoke, he shot an arrow, saying that it was too late and that it was too fast! I saw the man in white uniform raise his bow and arrows, draw his full bow, and shoot an arrow with a bang.
Just look at one of the three princes' sharp arrows was shot by the man in white uniform, the arrow was worn into two, and it was broken by force, if the three princes were good at swordsmanship, but the man in white actually knocked down his arrow.
The emperor smiled: "What are you waiting for? This cheetah to see whose hand the deer died! ”
The people on the hunting platform looked at the people in the hunting ground in horror, and the arrows that the man in uniform gave to the third prince just now cut off the first breath of cold air, so accurate, so in place! is really the first person in ancient and modern times, and such a wonderful scene is also applauded.
Su Ruohan looked at the man in white uniform, her face was crimson, and she suddenly remembered that it was her! At the beginning, a fiery red dress had already made her beautiful and moving, but now such a hot men's costume does not let the real man half a point, it turns out that her riding and archery kung fu is so good!
She is the emperor's daughter, Xu Tianjiao! Princess Chaoyang!
Although Su Ruohan already knew her identity, but now several princes on the hunting ground are chasing the cheetah, but none of them can hunt it, because she is optimistic about the Seven Princes, although the Seven Princes are not on hunting, but his sight has never left the cheetah from beginning to end, so it can be seen that the Seven Princes are not simple!
At this moment, all the princes chased the cheetah, only the seventh prince stopped steadily, but he was getting farther and farther away from the cheetah, and at this time, he pulled his bow and arrow and aimed in the direction of the cheetah.
The people on the hunting platform sneered arrogantly at the Seventh Prince, he was getting farther and farther away from this cheetah, where could he shoot, and the resistance of the wind and the flexible body of the leopard, the ghost believed that he would shoot.
Su Ruohan smiled slightly, I see! The Seven Princes actually wanted to shoot the cheetah, and they didn't want to hurt it, now the cheetah has been exhausted by the chase, presumably it will not escape death, and if the Seven Princes can hunt it at this time, then its life will definitely be saved, and the princes will compete for other prey.
The Seven Princes aimed at the cheetah, and heard a whoosh, and the hairy arrow flew out, hitting the leopard's retreat, but the leopard suddenly turned over and fell to the ground, and it was no longer possible to run.
Everyone was in an uproar, they didn't expect the bow and arrow of the Seven Princes to be so accurate! is so far away, and he can hunt leopards, he can be said to be the first prince among the princes to hunt large prey, this color head is very rare.
The princes looked at the cheetah with an arrow stuck in its hind legs, and the arrow was actually shot by the Seven Princes who were very far away behind him, but his arm strength was very steady, and the accuracy of his aiming was also very rare!
The emperor smiled: "I didn't expect this cheetah to be shot by Han'er." ”
The third prince's face was ugly, and he immediately tightened the reins and let the horse stop steadily, and at this time the emperor looked at the man in white and said, "You are?" ”
Just look at the man in white clothes turning over and dismounting, kneeling on one knee, and arching his hand: "My son meets my father!" ”
The emperor was very strange, at this time, he saw that the man in white took off his helmet, and his hair was flying with it, and the beauty was thrilling, she was Xu Tianjiao, the princess of Chaoyang!
"It turned out to be Tianjiao!" The emperor smiled very heartily and said continuously: "Okay, well, my children, whether they are princes or princesses, are the pillars of the country!" ”
Everyone bets on the third prince or the fifth prince, but the two princes are all named Sun Shan, and the person who got the leopard is actually the seventh prince Xu Han!
The emperor immediately rewarded him with a bloody horse as a reward.
At this time, the emperor was also tired, and rode back to the hunting platform, and at this time there were also guards who came up to lead the horses.
Li Ji looked at the emperor and smiled: "The emperor is tired, take a sip of fragrant tea!" ”
The emperor took it with a hearty smile, which shows that the emperor is in a particularly good mood today.
At this time, the seventh prince arranged for someone to bandage the leopard's hind legs and put it in a cage and lock it up, and the guard also asked: "Your Highness, is this cheetah going to be killed and set off a bonfire tonight?" ”
The Seventh Prince's face changed and said: "This prince didn't hunt the leopard to kill it, but you should bandage it." ”
The guard carefully dragged the leopard into the cage, and the leopard was still in the cage with its teeth and claws, such a scene was originally not noticed, after all, many people looked at the hunting ground The five princes and the third prince who continued to chase, and now there is a Chaoyang princess.
But this scene did not escape Su Ruohan on the hunting platform, she looked at the scene that happened in the hunting ground with a cold gaze, and smiled, that smile was very soft.
Xu Han looked up, just right to capture that smile, that smile was like a gentle ray of sunshine, bright and shining, nowhere to escape, the eyes of the two people collided in the air, Xu Han didn't understand the meaning behind the smile, maybe she just smiled faintly, but he caught it, didn't you know that Su Ruohan did it on purpose, because she knew the Seventh Prince too well, he was kind, but he was very melancholy in his bones, such a prince is not suitable for survival in the palace at all, because too many people are sinister. (To be continued.) )
