Volume 1: The beginning is to enter the Ning Xiao Gate, the first time to meet the crown prince Fu Yuying Chapter 27: Autumn Hunting Banquet,-for-tat
Fu Yuying sent a doctor to treat my injuries, and the medicines used were all good, I recuperated for more than 20 days, and the injuries on my legs were already healed, but Fu Yuying was still not at ease, until the doctor said that I could practice martial arts, and I practiced with Yi Xuan again.
In the past 20 days, I have carefully studied qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although chess, calligraphy, and painting have improved, they have not become a climate after all, only the piano art is advancing by leaps and bounds, Fu Yuying is also very satisfied with this, and even, when he encounters something unpleasant, he will always come to listen to me play a song, and occasionally say something heart-to-heart to me.
I realized that he was the crown prince, and there would be many unsatisfactory things.
The days passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was already autumn.
"You've been practicing martial arts with Yi Xuan for a while, can Yi Xuan teach you to ride and shoot?"
I stopped playing with the strings in my hand and looked up at him, shaking my head in confusion, not knowing what he was asking for.
"In a few days, the emperor is going to hold a royal autumn hunt, and the emperor wants me to take you there by name, so the schoolwork has stopped in the past few days, let Yi Xuan teach you to ride and shoot. But you only have to be by my side, and then you can get on the horse. ”
I nodded in response, and asked him again, "Will my sister go too?" ”
He replied: "She is almost on the day of giving birth, and the imperial doctor has instructed her not to move around, so I let her stay in the East Palace." ”
It's been so long, and Sister Yan's child hasn't been killed by those people in the East Palace, which makes me a little surprised.
Fu Yuying looked at me thoughtfully, probably guessed my thoughts, and said: "She is pregnant with my child, if I can save this child, I will naturally try to save it." ”
I don't have any prejudice against this child, and my grievances with my sister are just grievances between us, and they have nothing to do with the child, I'm just worried that if my sister has a child, then her status will be even more difficult to shake.
"If it's a boy, will he be the future prince?"
He laughed, "Song Yujun is the daughter of a criminal minister, even if this child is the eldest grandson of the emperor, he can't be the future prince." ”
"Besides, I won't necessarily ascend the throne."
I looked at him fixedly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Even though I knew that his relationship with the emperor was not harmonious, but when he, as the crown prince, said that he might not be able to ascend the throne, I couldn't help but feel sad.
He had to be sure that his father loved other children more than he loved him to say this.
I feel sorry for him, and I feel sorry for myself, after all, this feeling has been experienced countless times in the Guogong Mansion.
But I am different from him, maybe the emperor at least loves him, but Song Guogong treats me, don't say it's love, and I don't even have any mercy.
I lowered my head, laughed self-deprecatingly, and soon raised my eyes to meet him, and said very seriously, "I will do everything I can to help you ascend the throne." ”
He looked at me thoughtfully for a long time, with a smile on his lips and a smile on his lips.
Soon it was the day of the autumn hunt, and I followed Yi Xuan to learn riding skills for a few days, although I was not yet proficient, but I could barely pretend to be able to go.
The prince chose me a very docile horse, and I rode it with ease.
I followed the crown prince and quietly looked at the people around the emperor, except for the emperor's concubines, who were officials in important positions in the court, or relatives of the emperor.
The emperor's interest now looks good, and he talks and laughs with Fu Yuli, but I don't know if it's an illusion, I always feel that Fu Yuli is looking at me with his spare eyes.
Basically, all the princes and relatives are chatting with the emperor, only Fu Yuying has been silent, if I hadn't known that he was the crown prince earlier, I am afraid that he would have been mistaken for just an inconspicuous prince.
The one on the right side of King Yuwen should be Fu Yuqing, King of Xuanwu, although I have never seen this King Xuanwu, but these days, I have heard Yi Xuan talk about it many times.
Xuanwu King Fu Yuqing has great military achievements and is famous, but he has a violent and impulsive personality, and once made a big fuss because the emperor wanted to make Fu Yuying the crown prince.
When they arrived at the hunting ground, the emperor first set up a banquet with wine, and then sent officers and soldiers to the enclosure to set up a fence.
I served by Fu Yuying's side, listening to the emperor and those princes and ministers chattering.
King Xuanwu looked at the queen and asked, "Erchen heard that the queen has been in poor health recently, I don't know if she is getting better?" ”
The queen sat on the left side of the emperor, sitting in a very dignified and decent posture, she pursed her lips and smiled, and replied: "It's just that I feel the wind and cold, and the palace is fine." ”
"The queen's mother is well, and her sons are relieved." King Xuanwu paused for a moment, and then said: "There are no heirs in the middle palace yet, and the sons still hope that the father and the queen will make plans as soon as possible. ”
As soon as he said this, the lively atmosphere of the banquet was lowered all of a sudden, and the people present all looked at each other, not daring to make a sound, I looked at Fu Yuying, he looked like he didn't care, still tasting the wine in front of him, leisurely appreciating the light song and dance.
Seeing this, Xu Yuancheng shot back at Fu Yuqing: "What the prince said, but does it mean that he is not convinced by the prince?" ”
Fu Yuqing smiled, "How dare this king, it's just that the rules of the ancestors are in front of you." After he finished speaking, he got up and raised his wine glass and said to Fu Yuying: "The four emperor brothers and ministers toast you." ”
Fu Yuying waved her hand and motioned for me to pour wine, and said: "This palace is not strong enough to drink, let her drink this glass of wine for this palace." ”
I was shocked, not to mention that Fu Yuqing was one of the two princes who were crowned princes, just because he was the emperor's son and had such a noble status, how could I be a subordinate to pay respect, didn't Fu Yuying blatantly not give him face by doing this?
Although I was a little worried, Fu Yuying had already said so, so I had to raise my glass and salute him, and then drank it all.
Fu Yuqing's anger was all on his face, he poured the wine in the cup casually, slammed the wine glass on the table, and said in a very unhappy tone: "It seems that the fourth emperor brother is unwilling to appreciate his face." ”
I squinted at Fu Yuqing's biological mother, Concubine Qing, who was not worried about her son poking the basket at all, but stared at Fu Yuying with a good look.
Fu Yuqing sat down again, and said: "Brother is curious, if the queen mother really gives birth to a son-in-law, the fourth emperor brother, will you pay for the position of prince or not?" ”
He said this so bluntly that the atmosphere of the banquet was instantly depressed to the extreme, but the emperor had no intention of stopping it.
"King Xuanwu's words, is he forcing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to abdicate?"
I stared at Fu Yuqing and did not shy away from responding to him for Fu Yuying.
