Chapter 45: Restlessness

The joyful and melodious sound of birdsong intertwines with the gentle breeze in the ears, and the dense turquoise leaves slide gracefully on the branches. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe level of Lake Yumezawa is still and waveless, like a mirror. On the high platform built on it, many people have already sitted.

Most of them were women, while the men, led by the prince, sat on horses in tight-fitting riding clothes. Among them, there are many men who are tall and strong, with handsome faces, and most importantly, some outstanding men who are not married.

The eyes of many women lingered mainly on these men. After all, who doesn't want to marry an excellent man who is both civil and military?

The emperor standing on the high platform is over sixty years old, but he is full of energy, and his mental outlook is not inferior to that of young men. Today, I wore a bright yellow dragon pattern riding costume, with gold silk brocade shoes on my feet, and the golden dragon depicted on the clothes was lifelike and domineering.

Standing beside him was a concubine dressed in a light brown palace dress and covered with goose yellow tulle.

Concubine Niangniang's eyes looked around in the men's queue, and she couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling, attracting the emperor's attention. Although Concubine Shu is old, she is very well maintained, her skin is fair, her appearance is beautiful and gentle, and she has the support of her mother's family behind her, and she has been in the palace for decades, and her status has never been shaken.

The emperor also loves her very much, except for the queen, she is the only palace concubine who has accompanied her for three consecutive years.

The emperor turned his head, glanced at Concubine Shu, and couldn't help but ask with a smile. "I wonder what Concubine Ai is laughing at?"

Concubine Shu smiled slightly and replied. "This palace is just happy to watch these young and handsome men grow up day by day."

The emperor sighed as he nodded. "Looking at the heroic appearance of these children, I suddenly remembered that when I was so old, it was the same."

Concubine Shu just smiled lightly, followed the emperor's gaze, and quickly took it back, her eyes were as tender as water. "Wherever Your Majesty says, in the eyes of the concubines, Your Majesty has never changed."

Noticing Concubine Shu's tender and sweet eyes, the emperor's eyes were full of sighs. "When you're old, you can't accept old age."

"Your Majesty."

The emperor patted Concubine Shu's hand soothingly, turned his head and asked the right minister who was sitting quietly. "Right Minister, do you think that's the case?"

The eyebrows and eyes of the right minister moved slightly, and he subconsciously raised his head to look at the prince and smiled. "There are talents from all generations."

"Haha." The emperor couldn't help laughing and clapped his palms. "That's a good thing."

"Hunting every year is very boring. Why don't you have something fresh this year? What do you think? ”

said that it was the meaning of asking the right minister, but the right minister didn't hear the meaning of the inquiry at all, and asked very well. "I don't know what the emperor wants, what is Caitou?"

The emperor's eyes swept over the faces of the heroes one by one, and he muttered for a moment, but he didn't seem to be able to think of any good ideas.

At this time, when he heard the concubine beside him covering her lips, the emperor couldn't help but turn his face and his eyes lit up. "Ai Fei has always been understanding, how about this time the lottery is set by Ai Fei?"

Hearing this, the queen, who was sitting quietly on the other side, with an elegant and graceful posture, moved her brows slightly without a trace, and after a while, her face returned to the past.

"It is not impossible to give some riches as usual." Concubine Shu gently wiped the corners of her lips with a brocade before slowly saying again.

"It's just that everyone's needs are different, so it's not very attractive. It's better to let them make their own choices, does the emperor think it's good to be a concubine? ”

The emperor pondered for a moment. "The idea of Aifei ....." In the middle of the night, he clapped his palms. "It's very satisfying."

"I wonder what you think?"

Most of the people who can come to hunt this time are the sons of official families, and there are many people with official positions like Wuhua and Qin Xiangsheng.

The emperor made a promise that as long as he won the first place in the hunt, he could make a request at will.

Since the emperor has already said so, naturally no one will be stupid enough to refute it. Many young men were even more impatient when they heard this.

"Well, since there is no objection." The emperor's mood today was very happy, and Chrysostom opened. "That's it."

"That is, the lottery is set." The guards who were waiting on the side immediately led a horse, and the emperor turned over and got on the horse neatly.

"Then let's see which young talent can come out on top."

The emperor immediately took the lead and rushed into the forest first.

Followed by the prince, King Qi, King Le, King Xu and other princes, although King Le said that the prince was one step slower, but the sweaty horse under his seat was extremely fast, and after a while, it was not only on par with the prince, but also faintly surpassed the prince.

King Qi and King Xu were even left behind the two horses.

On the contrary, looking at it, Wuhua was originally at the front of the team, but after entering the forest, her pace slowed down, and Qin Xiangsheng, who had been by her side, kept sweeping around her body with a suspicious gaze, "Can you do it?" ”

When Wuhua heard this, his eyes moved to Qin Xiangsheng's face.

Qin Xiangsheng also found that what she said was a little awkward, and when she saw her eyes focused on her face, she couldn't help but smile awkwardly. "I'm just concerned about you, don't think about it."

It's okay that he didn't add this sentence, but as soon as he added this sentence, he found that Wuhua's expression was very strange.

In Wuhua's smiling eyes, he had to lose. "If you can stay alone, I'll go in."

"Did I let you stay?" Choked by Wuhua's words, Qin Xiangsheng simply slapped his horsewhip and chased after the troops.

He can see that Wuhua is completely here for sightseeing, but if you think about it carefully, it is also. As far as Wuhua's equestrian skills are concerned, don't say that they are chasing prey, but whether they can control the horses under the seat is still a problem.

In order to ensure the safety of Wuhua's life, it is a good way not to get involved in it. Thinking like this, Qin Xiangsheng faintly expected in his heart that if he came out on top, what wish should he make.

Seeing the large army heading towards the depths of the forest, Wuhua sighed secretly. In this royal garden, the most leisurely person is afraid that she is the only one now.

It's just that she has a few pounds and a few taels, and she still has a sense of proportion, and this time she came to enjoy the scenery.

For this hunt, the animals in captivity in this garden are probably driven deep into the forest. So Wuhua walked slowly for so long, but he didn't see any beasts.

On the contrary, the flock of birds that kept fluttering in the distance startled a large area, and after visually measuring the distance, Wuhua found that he was far away from that direction, so he stopped.

Riding a horse for a long time is really easy to get injured if you are not used to it.

Wuhua frowned, thinking about whether he meant to shoot a few arrows, so he found a place to hide and be lazy.

With a plan in mind, she naturally drove the horses under her seat in the direction of the large army.

It's just that she is not good at horsemanship, and naturally the horse speed is not fast, but fortunately, it is not far away, but after a moment's effort, she saw several hares rushing in front of her.

"Drive." Rushing like a hurricane was Zhu Zhu, who was dressed in light riding clothes, and when he saw Wuhua, he was slightly taken aback and slowed down. "Wuhua?"

Seeing Wuhua, he didn't chase those hares anymore, and rode around Wuhua to look up and down.

Zhu Yu is dressed in a blue riding suit today, with dark black swirl lines, running from the cuffs to the heart, riding on the horse, he has changed his previous lazy and lazy appearance, and the smell of books on his body has been diluted a lot by the rest of the things.

Coupled with his handsome appearance, it gives people a refreshing feeling.

"Do what?" Feeling a little dizzy from Zhu Shu, she asked.

However, after such a moment of effort, the bag behind Zhu Yu was bulging, and even the arrows in the arrow basket were less than half, and Wuhua saw him riding a horse for the first time, but he didn't expect it to be like a different person, and he suddenly felt a little strange.

But after thinking about it, I suddenly remembered that Zhu Yu was born in the General's Mansion, and the previous generations were all famous generals all over the world, and it was not strange that he could ride a horse, but it was different from his usual lazy appearance, which made people feel surprised.

"Didn't I hear you tell Brother Qin before, didn't you think much about coming over?" Zhu dragged his eyebrows slightly, riding on a horse, not only his temperament was different, but even his personality seemed to be different from usual.

Unexpectedly, the previous conversation was heard by him, and the corners of Wuhua's lips hooked, and he smiled self-deprecatingly. "That's what I intended, but seeing you in such high spirits, I was a little moved for a while."

Seeing Wuhua laughing at himself, Zhu Yu also smiled heartily, shook his head, and pointed in one direction. "There are a lot of people over there, but most of them are fierce birds and beasts, and this area is full of young rabbits, birds and birds."

"If you want to mix and mix, just be on this side."

Zhu Yu knew in his heart that Wuhua didn't know martial arts, and his riding and archery skills were also average, so he was kind enough to suggest it.

Wuhua naturally understood what he meant and nodded. "Thank you."

Zhu dragged back with a smile and rode away.

After walking around, he finally saw a rabbit, and Wuhua pulled out an arrow from the arrow basket and shot it at the rabbit.

She had learned a little riding skills, and she could shoot arrows, although she didn't miss the target if she didn't hit every shot, but she didn't miss the target....

Seeing that the arrow missed, it almost hit a passing official disciple.

She was slightly shocked in her heart, but fortunately, although the official disciple was angry in his heart, he obviously knew Wuhua, and knowing her identity, he didn't embarrass her, but just barely squeezed out a smile and rode away.

It's just that I don't know how to curse Wuhua in my heart.

Wuhua couldn't help but smile bitterly, rode over to the arrow that she had shot at the trunk of the tree, and pulled it down.

Chasing a rabbit almost shot at a person, this archery technique is really unreachable.

Wuhua bent his bow and arrows, and tried many times.

The arrow in his hand still couldn't be shot.

There was a sudden heat behind him, and Wuhua clearly felt that the horses sitting down were pacing in place restlessly.
