Volume 1: Da Chu Chapter 60: Autumn Hunting
In the capital, because the second batch of disaster relief food allocated by the imperial court gave Fengcheng a little respite, the matter of Fengcheng is still under investigation, and the confrontation between the prince and the third prince is like fire and water, this is a battle without gunpowder.
In the front hall of Yiwan Garden, Feihua took the flying pigeon handbook that had just been sent to Duan Yi.
Duan Yi opened it and glanced at it, then put the note into the candle flame and burned it to ashes: "Tell Qingfeng that they will act according to the plan, and the big fish will soon be hooked." ”
"Yes!" Feihua took the order, and then retreated to do other things.
Zhongqing's big fox eyes rolled, not knowing what the plan he was talking about, but he could vaguely guess a little in his heart.
It didn't take long for the people below to report that Prince Chu had won.
"This prince has been coming so often lately, isn't he afraid of upsetting others?" Zhong Qing said with a smile, Chu Ying came once three times twice, isn't he afraid of arousing the suspicion of other well-intentioned people?
Duan Yi didn't have any expression, and waved his hand to invite him in, "Chu Ying, a crown prince, is facing the two people of Zhongquan and the third prince, and it is inevitable that he wants to find an outside help to help him." ”
Zhong Qing understood, and then Chu Ying quickly walked in, the two looked at each other and nodded, as if they said hello, Zhong Qing beckoned him to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.
"What is the matter with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?" Duan Yi said very directly, obviously not wanting to waste more time.
Chu Ying has long been accustomed to his way of speaking and attitude, and he will not get tired of talking to smart people, so he directly expressed his intention.
Chu Ying said: "Five days later, it is the annual autumn hunt of Great Chu, in the Royal Hunting Garden, this palace came to invite King Duan to participate together, I heard that the reward for the first place is very rich." ”
Autumn hunting is the hunt held on October 10 every year in Dachu, when the prey has not yet entered the state of hibernation, it is the best time to hunt, various princes and nobles, ministers and officials, princes, concubines and other hand-picked by the emperor will go.
There are no less than 20,000 or 30,000 people during each hunt, and the scale is huge, and the entire royal hunting ground will be surrounded by guards and soldiers to ensure the absolute safety of the participants.
Autumn hunting is the tradition of Great Chu, and it is not without precedent in the history of Great Chu for Chu Ying to invite people from other countries to participate, and it is naturally within the rules of Great Chu to invite Duan Yi as the prince of Chu Ying.
Duan Yi glanced at the interested Zhongqing, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The prince sincerely invites, how can this king refuse?" ”
Hearing him say this, he promised to go, Chu Ying smiled happily: "So, then the palace will personally welcome the arrival of King Duan at that time!" ”
After saying a few words, after chatting a few more words, he made an appointment and left, it was hard to imagine that Chu Yingtang, a prince of the East Palace, would come to visit for such a trivial matter.
"Autumn hunting, it must be fun, I must catch a big prey when the time comes!" It's exciting to think about, she hasn't been out in a long time!
Duan Yi saw that she was happy, and her heart was itching, so she couldn't help but splash her with a bucket of cold water and said, "When did this king say that he was going to take you there?" ”
Hearing this, his face, which was still smiling just now, immediately wrinkled into a bitter gourd, pitiful: "No, Lord Wang, you see that I haven't gone out for so many days, take me there if you have a lot of them, please!" ”
As she spoke, she blinked at the big girl, as if he would reveal it as soon as he refused.
Duan Yi looked unmoved, just didn't speak, admiring her dog-legged expression, and the indescribable pleasure in his heart.
Seeing this, Zhong Qing snorted, put on a big bright smile and stepped forward to beat his back and pinch his shoulders: "Lord Wang, will you take me there, I promise not to run around, I will follow you obediently!" ”
Duan Yi's eyes flashed a hint of darkness by her smile, and with a big hand, he dragged the woman into his arms and sat on his lap.
Zhongqing was defenseless, she only felt that a flower in front of her was on the man's lap, and such an intimate posture made her face instantly red, staring at her eyes and not knowing where to put her hand.
"Wang, Wangye, you, you, you ......" Zhong Qing stammered, and the face in front of her made her unable to finish a sentence.
Duan Yi seemed to like her blushing very much, his slender fingers touched her cheek carefully, and his eyes were deep as if he wanted to swallow her.
He lowered his head, a suffocating face was getting closer and closer to the woman in his arms, and Zhong Qing secretly swallowed his saliva, sighing in his heart how could there be such a good-looking person in the world.
The man's eyes looked at her like an unfathomable sea, hooking her uncontrollably and sinking into it, her demonic face getting closer and closer, as long as she moved lightly, she could touch him.
Zhongqing's little heart was pounding, and for some reason, she closed her eyes in a ghostly manner, waiting for the man's next move.
After a long time, Zhong Qing didn't feel any movement from the man above his head, he could only feel his breath on his face, tickling.
"Little one, do you think?"
Therefore, the man's magnetic voice sounded in her ears, and Zhong Qing only felt dizzy, and after listening to his words, she instantly realized what she was doing now!
She, she actually took the initiative to close her eyes and stare at the man's ......
Zhongqing only felt that her face was very hot, and the man's words just now kept echoing in her ears.
Do you want to? Do you want to?
What the hell was she thinking, wondering if Duan Yi would kiss her?!
"I'm me, I'm not, you let go of me!" The woman blushed and tried to get off his lap, as if she was a little annoyed.
Duan Yi's big hand easily stuck her restless leg and didn't move her, and continued: "Not yet, you are still too young, and this king will definitely satisfy you after a while." ”
Hearing this, Zhong Qing only felt as if something was about to explode in his head!
"I, I don't know what you're talking about, let me go!" Zhongqing was so angry that he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
I really don't know what I was expecting just now, besides, is she very small?!
couldn't help but look down at her breasts, because she was wearing men's clothes, and the clothes were wide to cover her developed delicate figure, and she really couldn't see the size.
Duan Yi noticed her movements, and seemed to see what she was thinking, and couldn't help laughing: "This king is not talking about this, it's age, little guy!" ”
Zhong Qing, who was seen through his thoughts, gritted his teeth, and couldn't wait to pounce on and bite down on that angry face.
Duan Yi, who had laughed enough, touched her head, and the movements of his hands were very gentle, as if he was stroking a rare treasure.
"In five days, I will go to the autumn hunt with this king, remember, don't run around." The man said, remembering how she had been injured several times in a row, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Feeling the concern in the man's tone, the gritted teeth of Zhong Qing also quieted down, and nodded firmly: "Don't worry, I will protect myself!" ”
Duan Yi looked down at her, not feeling how imaginative their posture was at the moment, and the woman's assurance made him smile.
…………
Five days later, the annual autumn hunt of Da Chu finally arrived, and this time the autumn hunt of the Chu Emperor still brought the queen and Rong Guifei to accompany him.
The queen has recovered a lot after a few days of recuperation, but her complexion has not fully recovered, and she can still see a little sickness when she looks at it.
Emperor Chu felt sorry for her, after all, she was his wife and General Hua's sister, so he took the opportunity of the autumn hunt to take her out to breathe and relax.
The scale of this autumn hunt was very large, with 50,000 soldiers and horses escorting, the hunting ground was enlarged, and many princes and nobles followed the procession.
"Father, Erchen specially invited King Duan to come to see our Great Chu's autumn hunting, I don't know if Erchen can be allowed to greet him in person?" Chu Ying bowed lightly and asked for instructions.
Emperor Chu sat on the dragon bowl and waved his big hand: "Go, King Duan is a distinguished guest of Da Chu, so he should be invited to participate in the autumn hunt, and by the way, let him see the demeanor of my Da Chu man!" ”
Chu Ying received the order, and set off for Yiwan Garden first on horseback.
Zhongquan looked at the back of Chu Ying's departure, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, Chu Ying and Duan Yi have been in frequent contacts recently, I don't know what consensus they have reached, if Chu Ying has Duan Yi's help, then it will be a lot more troublesome to do things in the future!
The prime minister's eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and he raised his hand to summon a person to whisper a few words, and the man was expressionless after hearing it, turned around and quietly disappeared into the crowd.
The hour was almost there, and the Emperor of Chu pulled the queen to sit on the dragon chariot together, raised his palm and moved, and set off!
The army was ready to go, supporting the Emperor of Chu one after the other, ensuring his absolute safety, starting from the palace all the way to the royal hunting grounds.
Chu Ying arrived at Yiwan Garden one step in advance, Duan Yi and his party had already finished dressing, and the autumn hunt was not a day or two, Qingfeng was not there, and all these things fell on Feihua alone.
After everything that should be prepared was almost ready, Chu Ying happened to arrive, and he pulled the reins and stepped forward to say hello: "Brother Duan, are you ready?" The great force has already set off. ”
After a few days of getting along, Chu Ying's title to him has changed from King Duan twice to Brother Duan.
Duan Yi unexpectedly didn't wear a mask when he went out this time, as if he had never worn a mask since Hanyue married to Beishuo.
He didn't get on the sedan chair, but rode a horse, and Zhongqing was specially assigned a horse to ride on the left side of him because the man was riding a horse.
"Prince, it's time to go." Duan Yi lightly clamped the horse's belly and followed in front of Chu Ying.
It didn't take long for Chu Ying to take Duan Yi and the others to the royal hunting ground, they arrived later, tents had already been set up here, and there were many soldiers patrolling nearby.
The royal hunting ground stands in the middle of the Yannan Mountain on the outskirts of the capital, and the whole mountain is the scope of the royal hunting ground, and a palace is specially established on the halfway of the mountain for resting and enjoying the shade.
The view here is wide, the animals used for hunting are under royal control, and there are basically no large animals.
"King Duan, it's been a long time, how about coming and seeing the hunting grounds of my great Chu?" Emperor Chu walked over to greet Duan Yi, they arrived early, and they had already changed into civilian clothes.
Duan Yi had a polite smile on the corner of his mouth, and nodded slightly at Emperor Chu: "The emperor is polite, the scenery of Yannan Mountain is famous in Great Chu, and I am fortunate to see it today and avoid the emperor's invitation." ”
The two politely exchanged words, and the Chu Emperor beckoned him to sit down, the hunt had not yet begun, so he would rest for one night before starting tomorrow.
Chu Mo drank a little wine and watched Duan Yi and Chu Ying come and go politely, there was a haze in his eyes, he didn't know when the prince was so familiar with Duan Yi.
Thinking that his marriage was still made by Duan Yi as a "matchmaker", he thought that he and Duan Yi were in the same camp, and thought that Duan Yi was deliberately on his side.
But seeing that the current situation doesn't seem to be the same as he thought, Duan Yi is helping himself while walking so close to the prince, what is his idea in his heart?
"Husband, try this rabbit meat, it was just hunted, and it's still tender!" He interrupted his thoughts by taking a piece of freshly roasted rabbit meat into his bowl and opening his mouth.
Chu Mo came back to his senses, and always had a warm smile in the face of Zhong Luoluo, and ate a mouthful of rabbit meat, the meat was really tender, and he also sandwiched it for her, this kind of appearance is really affectionate in the eyes of outsiders.
