Chapter 13: Autumn Hunt (5)
Jing Ci's eyes were flickering, and he was about to find a random reason to get by, when he saw Sheng'er, Jinghan's personal maid in the distance, running over in a panic.
Jing Han beckoned to her, "Sheng'er! Here's it! ”
When Sheng'er heard the prestige, she took Jing Han's hand and ran, and said breathlessly, "Miss, go back and have a look!" The tent is full of foxes! ”
Jing Han exclaimed, "What! Fox? How many? ”
"The slaves and maids didn't count, there were about twenty or so!"
"Huh? Where did you get so many! ”
"It was sent by Rong Shizi and the second son," Sheng'er stopped, took a breath and pointed to the pile of foxes in front of him that the maids almost couldn't handle, and said, "I heard that Qi Shizi, Rong Shizi and the second son of our house together have wrapped up the rabbits and foxes on today's hunting ground!" ”
"What is the second brother making a fuss?" Jing Han looked at the group of foxes in his tent who were like Jing Ci withdrawing, and said dumbfounded.
"The second prince said, you have always been good friends with Princess Rong'an and Miss Lin, and if you get a new fox cloak, you must appreciate it together. It's better to catch more, and then one person can make one. ”
"That's not going to take that much!" Jing Han raised his forehead, and after a while, he said quietly, "Quickly send someone to invite the third sister and Ruowei to come." ”
In a short time, the two arrived.
Lin Ruowei picked up a fox casually, sat down and said, "You two called me here and talked about it for a long time, are you showing off to me that one of you has a rabbit and the other has a fox?" ”
"If you want it, take it!" Jing Han chased away the fox at his feet, and said in disgust, "It's just that Cousin Good and Brother Rong Xuan are messing around, and the second brother is also joining in the fun." ”
"I don't know what to do!" Lin Ruowei put down the fox and knocked her on the head, saying, "Where is the nonsense?" If you don't want it, give it all to me! ”
She smiled and said, "Forget the rabbit, I'm going to share this fox cloak!" ”
After that, all three of them laughed, but all three of them were girls, and they were reluctant to kill these foxes.
Kyo said, "Let's put all of this away." I remember that there are still a few new white fox cloaks in the treasury of King Ling's Mansion, and we will pick them out when we go back. ”
Jing Han nodded, "That's good! Save yourself from asking for a selection of tricks, just take you back, is this so embarrassing? ”
"Then you don't want it." Lin Ruo glanced at her and said quietly.
"How can this work? The third sister is kind, how can I live up to it! Jing Han hurriedly shook his head, looked at Jing Ci seriously, and said, "Third sister, when are we going to choose?" ”
Lin Ruo glanced at her slightly, and said next to Jing, "I have some new jewelry there, although it is not as beautiful as the imperial creation, but it is also new." When we go back, let's choose together? ”
The three of them chatted happily with each other, and before they knew it, it was evening, and after eating together, they went back to their respective camps.
After Jing Ci finished bathing, he sat in front of the bronze mirror wrapped in his robe and let Fleur wipe her hair.
In the smoky clean room, in the foggy bronze mirror, the beauty has a snow-white complexion and a delicate appearance, and the moles at the end of the eyes seem to be alive, bewitching and gorgeous.
"What about the rabbit?" Jing Ci turned his head and said.
"Tell the little palace maid to carry it and feed the grass." Fu Fei didn't raise her head, and said casually, "This Qi Shizi is really good to our Royal Highness, the slave maid heard that the rabbit was snatched from Xu Gongzi's hands." ”
"Xu Gongzi?"
"Well, it's the brother-in-law of King Ping, Xu Songyan's son," she lowered her voice and said, "I heard that Xu Gongzi saw it first, but he was stabbed sideways by Qi Shizi and snatched it." ”
"That's ......"
Jing Ci nodded unconsciously, and said tentatively, "Furui, what do you think of Qi Shizi...... How is he? ”
"What? Qi Shizi? ”
Fleur stopped what she was doing, looked up at her, and continued to wipe her hair, saying, "Naturally, it's excellent." ”
"Where's the good?"
"Well--good family background, good looks, good personality, and good people."
"So...... All right? ”
"Well, although it is not as good as Jiang Gong'......" Fu Hui said casually, hurriedly looked up at Jing Ci, saw that her face changed slightly, and her heart suddenly blessed her heart, and she asked cautiously, "Does Your Highness like Qi Shizi?" ”
Jing Ci lowered his head and didn't speak, but his eyes were erratic, and his face became more and more red.
Fu Hui asked in a low voice, "But the slave maid looks at the meaning of the palace, the queen mother really wants His Royal Highness to marry Jiang Gongzi, and Jiang Gongzi is a talent, and he has been angry for His Royal Highness in the court, and he is noble......"
She babbled a lot, but when she saw that Jing didn't raise her head, she finally sighed, picked up the jade comb, and said while combing her hair, "That's it, Your Highness likes the most important thing, and the slave maid writes a letter to my aunt to talk about it?" ”
When Jing Ci heard this, he blushed and looked up and said, "Okay...... Good. Ay! Tomorrow, I'm afraid my grandmother will sleep today. ”
Fleur nodded, carefully straightened her hair, and after serving her to sleep, she found a place where no one was around, and carefully recorded the events of the day.
She walked out, winked at the older of the two guards outside the door, and walked to the back of the tent.
After a short time, the guard came, and Fleur handed him the letter, and said in a low voice, "This matter is important, and it must be sent to the palace tonight." ”
The guard nodded, carefully hid the letter, and went back to the tent to guard the door.
On the second day, there were many fewer people in the hunting ground than yesterday, and Jingji and his party took a walk in the nearby forest in the afternoon.
Lin Ruowei saw that there was no one left and right, and whispered to them, "When I went back to the camp last night, I picked up a handful of wild flowers at the door. ”
"Wildflowers?" Jing Han said, "Can you see who put it?" ”
"No," Lin Ruowei shook her head, "I'm just a courtier, and there are no guards at the door, so naturally no one will see it." ”
She reached out and touched the rabbit in Jing Ci's hand, and said, "This is what Qi Shizi gave you yesterday?" ”
Jing Ci nodded, handed the rabbit to her, and said, "Do you want to hug it?" ”
Lin Ruowei shook his head, ran behind Jing Han in two or three steps, and said with a smile, "I don't dare, I'm afraid that Qi Shizi will give me an arrow!" ”
She lay on Jing Han and smiled, and said, "It's spread all over the hunting ground, and the rabbits in the hunting ground are all ordered by Qi Shizi!" Who would dare to hug it? ”
Jing Han also teased, "Yes, but I don't know, is this beauty holding a rabbit ...... It's also a good cousin! ”
Suddenly there was an undisguised laughter of the girls in the forest, and Jing Ci put his arm around the rabbits with one hand and stretched out the other hand to beat them.
In the distance, in the camp filled with Tibetan incense, the queen frowned and said, "What does this good brother think?" ”
The old lady who pinched her shoulders behind her smiled and said, "Why should I think about it? The slave maid thought that the prince liked his sisters, and it was normal to catch a few rabbits for his sister. ”
"Then why don't you see him arresting Rong Yue?"
"Niangniang is worried," the old lady thought for a while, "Lord Rongyue has Rong Xuan's son and the second son are distressed, but His Royal Highness Rong'an has neither parents nor brothers and sisters, so maybe the prince takes pity on her?" Besides, didn't Grandpa Guo say anything? ”
"You're right," the queen nodded, but said with a sad face, "It's just that this good brother doesn't seem to know about his marriage contract with Miss Lin." Moreover, Rong An is a princess, not to mention, the Jiang family boy also has a deep affection for her, and the two of them approached, which made people feel strange and uneasy. ”
"Why be worried?" Mama smiled, handed a cup of tea to the queen, and said, "Didn't Niangniang say a long time ago that she would ask His Majesty for marriage at the annual banquet?" Now that there are four months to go before the New Year, is Niang Niang still anxious? ”
When the queen heard this, she really relaxed a little, and said, "When the time comes, please ask the emperor to marry Jiang Yibai and Rong An together." ”
But he said that here, Jing Ci and the others went back to take a nap after they finished scattering the cloth, and only then did they arrive at the camp tent, and Fu Hui saw that the guard who delivered the letter last night had returned.
She made up a reason and took a reply letter from the guard, which detailed the life of Jiang Yibai and Qi Shan, including the marriage contract between Qi Shan and Lin Ruowei.
Furao frowned, and saw that the second page was written in black and white, and His Highness rarely took the initiative to say what person or thing she liked, so that she didn't have to tell her about it first, so as not to annoy His Highness, in short, everything could be turned around.
Fleur looked at it several times, found another place to destroy the letter, and then returned to the room.
She knelt on the edge of Jingci's bed and said softly, "Your Highness, Mama has replied, saying that Gongzi Jiang and Qi Shizi are both dragons and phoenixes among people, and it depends on your thoughts." In short, it must be your wish. ”
When Jing Ci heard this, his heart finally quieted down, and he smiled steadily, "I...... I think General Qi is very good. ”
She glanced at Furao, but Qi Shan's appearance kept appearing in her mind, and said, "Mama said that he is not arrogant or impatient, and has the demeanor of a general." I also found him caring, thoughtful, and thoughtful. Anyway, he's a very nice guy. ”
She shrunk back, hid her face under the covers, and muffled, "Very good, very good." ”
Seeing this, Fu Hui tucked the quilt back for her, "Yes, Qi Shizi is very good, so that he and our Royal Highness are talented and beautiful, and they are a natural pair!" ”
Autumn hunting has never been mainly about hunting animals, but more about testing the swordsmanship and martial arts of the children of each family and the guards of the inner palace, and selecting talents.
In this autumn hunt, Qi Shanneng shot the running hare a mile away, Rong Xuan and Shi Jingting took over the mountain wild fox clan with the strength of the two, and Lin Jie, the son of Lin Qihan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, killed a brown bear with only a scimitar, and Gu Qing, the son of Pingyang Houshi, captured three wild boars, and several of them were rewarded by the emperor.
In the early morning of the fourth day, the emperor set off to return to the palace, and Jing Ci ordered Fu Hui to find some weeds and come back.
In the middle of the night, Fleur returned, holding two fluttering green leaves in her hands.
Jing Ci asked, "I've been going for so long, why did I take these back?" ”
Fu Fei hesitated for a moment, blushed and said, "I met Qi Shizi halfway, Qi Shizi said that he didn't need a slave to look for it, he would send it." ”
"Oh." Jing Ci nodded and pursed his lips slightly, just the innocent posture of a little daughter.
The corners of Fu Hui's mouth twitched, thinking that the dignified prince of the protector of the country was squatting on the ground and cutting the grass with his ass cocked, so he should not tell His Highness.
