The palace has not yet come out of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it has ushered in the annual autumn festival.

Emperor Gaozu ruled the world with martial arts, and attached great importance to cultivating the martial abilities of the princes, so he ordered people to build a paddock in Lishan. Every year before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet, the prince's important ministers follow the Son of Heaven to the Lishan Palace, which is called the gift of autumn.

Wang Shu was not included in the entourage, but because she was now a quasi-princess, and Xiao Shuli tried her best to recommend it to His Majesty, she had to go even if she didn't want to.

The female dependents were all divided into separate chariots, and Wangshu sat with a very unfamiliar face.

The woman has a good appearance, cold eyebrows and eyes, and her skin is as fair as jade, delicate and clear, but she doesn't like to talk very much, and she closes her eyes as soon as she gets in the car.

Wangshu is not a person who will take the initiative to talk, she leaned her head against the wall of the car, closed her eyes and rested.

The bumps on the road made Wangshu a little dazed, and he was still dizzy when he got out of the car. She was about to go to the palace to catch up on sleep, when Gu Chengye's words suddenly woke her up.

"I've heard that the female dependents who came this time are not bad at riding and shooting, so let's all play together later. The princes brought their own princesses-to-be, and the Aiqing also brought their wives, and those who did not have a wife could find a confidant on the spot. ”

Gu Huaixin yawned tiredly, "Father, the son is really tired, so he won't participate." ”

The words that should have been disappointing did not make Gu Chengye unhappy, he loved this little son very much because of Xie Ange.

Gu Chengye pointed at him and quipped: "I see you, you have never used your heart in riding and shooting, and you are afraid of losing ugly." ”

Gu Huaixin's eyes were suddenly full of admiration, "Sure enough, I know my son Mo Ruo's father, and only my father understands the thoughts of my son." ”

His faceless appearance made Gu Chengye laugh.

Gu Huaiyu snorted coldly in his heart, he, the fifth brother, didn't care about anything except wine and beauty. Even if he is favored by his father, he is just a dou who can't be supported, so he is not afraid.

The doting on Gu Chengye's face was particularly dazzling, Gu Huaijin lowered his eyes and touched the horse's back, and the loneliness that flashed in his eyes flashed.

Cui Jinyuan served Gu Huaijin and changed into riding clothes. After everything was ready, Gu Huaijin suddenly reached out and loosened Cui Jinyuan's bun.

Cui Jinyuan covered her hair in a panic, "Your Highness, what are you doing?" ”

Gu Huaijin pulled her hand away and personally helped her coil her hair.

"I don't know if this confidante of this king is willing to accompany this king to participate in the autumn festival."

"Your Highness......"

Cui Jinyuan looked at him in shock, fell into his gentle and affectionate eyes like spring water, and forgot his words for a while.

Gu Huaijin smiled, took out a delicate hosta from the box, and inserted it into Cui Jinyuan's coiled hair.

"That's right, it's really like a heroic boy, I didn't expect our brocade kite to be so good when she changed into men's clothes."

Cui Jinyuan was a little embarrassed by his praise, and his tone also carried a hint of coquettishness, "Your Highness, don't be joking." ”

Gu Huaijin deliberately glared at her to scare her, "Then why don't you go and get a riding outfit and change it on." ”

Cui Jinyuan was not frightened, but was amused into a silver bell-like laugh, "The maid is going now." ”

Her figure quickly disappeared by the door, the smile in Gu Huaijin's eyes slowly solidified, and she casually threw the wooden box in her hand aside.

About an hour later, everyone was ready to go. Wangshu also changed into riding clothes and stepped on the horse arranged for him.

Gu Huaiyu came to her side and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, just follow me later." As for the prey, you can shoot as much as you want, don't force it. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wangshu suddenly became unhappy, did he comfort her or look down on her?

She began to learn to ride and shoot at the age of eight, and Bao Buqi learned it earlier than he did.

Wangshu suppressed his displeasure and said with a smile: "Your Highness, rest assured, the courtiers will not embarrass you." ”

The eunuch shouted "start", and suddenly a hundred horses galloped and the dust flew.

After Gu Huaiyu shot a few prey in a row, he slowly discovered that whenever he and Wangshu saw the prey at the same time, her arrows were a few points faster than his own.

He looked over puzzled, but saw that the dignified Wangshu eyebrows were full of heroism, she deliberately tied her hair behind her head, not only refreshing, but also with a bow and arrow that was not inferior to a man's sass.

He couldn't help but lose his mind, and at this moment, Wangshu was hit by a few more arrows.

He adjusted his state, and just as a sika deer appeared in the distance, he picked up his bow and arrows and was about to chase after him, but Wangshu was cut on the leg by an arrow flying from nowhere.

She fell off the horse with a scream, Gu Huaiyu turned the horse's head and stepped forward to investigate.

Wangshu covered his bleeding calf with a handkerchief and said to Gu Huaiyu: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry about me. ”

"But you ......" Gu Huaiyu glanced at her, and then looked in the direction where the deer disappeared, as if hesitating.

Wangshu knew that he didn't want to give up Qiu Qiu, but because of his feelings, she said lightly: "This is just a small injury, just bandage it." What's more, my aunt told you that you must win the autumn victory. ”

She looked at Gu Huaiyu. Sure enough, he was silent, and after a while, he finally made up his mind.

"Okay, then you wait for me here, and I'll come to you when I'm done."

Wangshu watched his back disappear into the distance, and the look in his eyes slowly cooled.

She took her hand away and found that it was really not a minor injury, and the pain was so painful that she bared her teeth and didn't say anything, I was afraid that it would be difficult to walk back alone.

At this moment, the neighing of the horse fell, and Gu Huaijin rode a horse to her, followed by Cui Jinkite.

While dismounting, Gu Huaijin instructed Cui Jinyuan to go back first and invite the imperial doctor to his palace.

Cui Jinyuan glanced at Wang Shu before leaving, and there was a deep inquiry in his eyes.

After Cui Jinyuan left, Gu Huaijin squatted down and looked at Shu's injury, and said mockingly, "It's the first time I've seen a person pretending to kill himself but not controlling the heat." ”

Wangshu was shocked, "You saw it all?" ”

Gu Huaijin stared at her, and that insightful gaze made her feel a little weak.

"I should laugh at you for being stupid or naïve. Do you think there will really be anyone in this palace who is willing to give up power for you? ”

Being seen through the idea, Wangshu was a little embarrassed. She lowered her eyes awkwardly, "I tested my future husband, what does it have to do with you?" ”

Gu Huaijin helped her on the horse, "It has nothing to do with me, I just think you are pitiful." ”

Think she's pitiful?

Wangshu has not been pitied by others, and he suddenly became angry.

"That's really a coincidence, the courtiers used to feel that His Highness was very pitiful. After all, His Royal Highness not only does not have the love of his father, but also has to be calculated by all means. The courtiers are really fortunate to be able to become a poor person in this world with His Royal Highness. ”

"Did you say enough?"

Gu Huaijin's aura was cold, and just when Wangshu thought he was going to throw her off the horse, he lay her on the horse's back, whipped her down, and the horse roared and ran hard.

Wangshu's whole person was almost vomited out by the bumps. She knew that he was communiquating his personal vendetta, so she was naturally no longer polite, and bit Gu Huaijin's waist hard, and the other party gasped in pain, "Are you crazy?" ”

Seeing that he was in pain, Wang Shu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with satisfaction, and said, "You deserve it." ”

When she arrived at the palace, Gu Huaijin's anger had not subsided, so she didn't care about her, she directly threw Wangshu on horseback and walked in alone, and later Cui Jinyuan came out to see it and asked someone to help Wangshu in.

Because the imperial doctor was invited to Gu Huaijin's palace, Wangshu had to continue to stay with him.

Both of them are very interesting, with cold faces, and no one pays attention to the other.

The doctor said that the injury on Wangshu's leg did not reach the muscles and bones, and prescribed some medicine to her, and told her to rest more and not to walk.

When Cui Jinyuan went to boil medicine for Wangshu, the silence in the hall was terrifying.

Wangshu had to find something to do for himself. As soon as she picked up the external medicine, she was snatched by Gu Huaijin.

"Your Highness doesn't even give medicine to her courtiers, isn't it too much?"

Gu Huaijin didn't refute her for the first time, but squatted down and smeared the ointment on her legs.

The warm candlelight embedded his cold and hard silhouette with soft edges of light.

Wangshu looked at his serious appearance, and he was a little uncomfortable.

She cleared her throat in embarrassment, "Gu Huaijin, why are you helping me?" The person who wins in the autumn can ask His Majesty for a promise, aren't you tempted? ”

The movement in Gu Huaijin's hand stopped, "If I ask my father to restore my crown prince, do you think he will agree?" ”

He looked at her, and Wangshu's eyes were tingled by the glimmer of hope that still existed.

She turned her head and said no more.

"As for why I helped you, it's probably because you helped me before."

He would never forget how she had poured half a bottle of ointment on his back that night.

Gu Huaijin's movements suddenly became forceful, and Wangshu's screams suddenly sounded in the palace.

Gu Huaiyu, who came to look for Shu, heard her cry outside the hall and hurriedly rushed in.

He pushed Gu Huaijin away, "Brother Huang, what are you doing here?" ”

"What are you doing so nervous?" Gu Huaijin stood up unhurriedly, "I met the injured Miss Xiao in the woods, and after bringing her back, I helped her apply some medicine by the way, who knew she was so intolerant." ”

Wangshu glared at him fiercely, how did she remember that this sentence was said when she mocked him, it was really a naked revenge.

Gu Huaijin didn't see it.

Gu Huaiyu glanced at them strangely, and then helped Wangshu up, "Since it is my cousin and my wife in the future, I won't bother the imperial brother, I will send Wangshu back." ”

"Go ahead." Gu Huaijin waved his hand impatiently.

Although Wangshu didn't want Gu Huaiyu to send her, there was no other way now. The two didn't say anything all the way, but it was Wangshu who took the lead to break the embarrassment.

"Your Highness won the Autumn Harvest today?"

"Yes, won." Speaking of happiness, Gu Huaiyu's eyes were a little happy.

"Then Your Highness asked Your Majesty for what reward?"

The smile in Gu Huaiyu's eyes spread out a little, and he shook his head, "I didn't ask for any reward, I just hope that the Nanxi Kingdom can be peaceful and the people will be safe, and my father and emperor will be healthy." ”

Wang Shu glanced at him in surprise, and then smiled slightly, "Your Highness is very smart. ”

He knows better than anyone else the truth that if you don't fight, you can fight, but I don't know if this was taught to him by my aunt or if he realized it himself.

Gu Huaiyu sent Wangshu to the door of her dormitory and went back.

The women's bedrooms were very close to each other. As soon as Wangshu was about to walk in, he heard a fierce scolding from next door. Worried that something was wrong, she walked over.

Standing in the courtyard was a girl in the same carriage with her, who appeared to have had an argument with a man. The man's face was grim and he pushed her to the ground mercilessly.

"Ye Miaoyi, if you are interested, ask your father to ask for a divorce, otherwise you will marry me, and you will be treated like this today."

The woman pursed her lips stubbornly, and two lines of tears flowed from her reddened eyes.

Wangshu frowned, he really couldn't stand it.

She hurriedly stepped forward to help the woman up, and her slightly raised eyebrows could not hide her anger, "Your Royal Highness is so majestic, and your strength is not on the battlefield, but it is used to deal with a woman." ”

Gu Huaixin saw that someone was mixed up, and he was about to get angry, but it wasn't until he saw Wangshu's appearance clearly that he turned his anger into a smile, "It's a quasi-sister-in-law, this is a matter between our husband and wife, so I won't bother you." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Your Majesty only gave you a marriage, and the son-in-law of the Ye family hasn't married yet, why did she become husband and wife with His Royal Highness?" Wangshu slowly suppressed his anger, but his words were full of needles.

"Isn't it only a matter of time before she marries me? It's like a sister-in-law who will marry the Third Emperor Brother sooner or later. ”

Gu Huaixin's gaze poured coldly on Ye Miaoyi, causing the latter to tremble.

Wangshu moved his body to block in front of Ye Miaoyi, blocking Gu Huaixin's unkind gaze.

"One more word 'quasi' is very different, Your Highness's 'sister-in-law' I really can't afford it now, keep it for later."

She pulled Ye Miaoyi around him into the inner hall, Gu Huaixin didn't stop her, but just threw down a sentence lukewarmly, "My third brother is really married to the right person, and the queen's niece is indeed different from others." ”

Wangshu understood that he was mocking her for not understanding the rules. But so what? Nowadays, my aunt is in full swing, and she is always reliable.

When he arrived in the hall, Wangshu helped Ye Miaoyi apply medicine, looking at the large bruises and bruises, his expression was extremely unhappy, "Do you really want to marry such a person?" Why don't you let your father get out of the marriage? ”

Ye Miaoyi didn't speak, her eyes looked at the figure outside the window that had already gone away, although there was pain in her eyes, she still couldn't hide her love.

Wangshu had already broken through it, and sighed: "Why are you so troubled." ”

Outside the female dormitory, Gu Huaijin had been standing there for a long time. He originally wanted to give her the ointment that Wangshu had left with him, but who knew that he saw such a scene.

"His Royal Highness is really too much for Miss Biao." Zixu has been by Gu Huaijin's side since she was a child, and she has had a lot of contact with Ye Miaoyi, and now she is unhappy for her.

Gu Huaijin sneered slightly, "He's just a prodigal kid, how can he have the appearance of a prince." ”

Zixu sighed helplessly: "It's just that Miss Biao still has a deep affection for the Fifth Highness. ”

"Miaoyi has always been stubborn, and it is useless for others to persuade her, only when she hits the south wall will she know how to turn back." Gu Huaijin lowered his head and played with the medicine bottle in his hand, and immediately handed it to Zixu, "Tomorrow, you can send this to Xiao Wangshu." ”

"Yes." Zixu remembered Fang Caishu's appearance of protecting Ye Miaoyi, but he was a little admired, "Miss Xiao looks soft and weak on weekdays, but who knows that she has such a bold and strong side." ”

"She?" Gu Huaijin glanced back at the brightly lit palace, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and the moonlight didn't seem to be able to wrap the tenderness in his eyes, "It's just a fox and a fake tiger, relying on the power of my aunt and father." ”
