Chapter 44 Mother's Kindness and Filial Piety

The people in the hall fell silent again, only to hear the sound of the prince holding the tea cup and blowing the floating leaves, and his Adam's apple rolling and swallowing the tea, but they did not hear his answer.

The fifth prince was as modest as ever, smiling slightly, gentle as jade, "The prince said that the assassin was a light achievement, could it be that His Royal Highness has been hiding it deeply?" Then this spring hunt is going to open the eyes of the brothers. ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the fifth brother," Li Che looked back at him and said with a slight smile: "I just took a shortcut and took the lead, and I still want to make a contribution in front of my father, but I don't want to make a fool of myself, how can I dare to show off again?" ”

"What the prince said is right," the fourth prince Li Yi agreed: "I went to investigate just now, the prince did take a shortcut from the direction of the dormitory, and the fifth brother doesn't often come to the palace, so naturally he doesn't know." ”

The queen smiled gently: "Anyway, the crown prince should be beaten, and he even disregarded his life, and the palace and the emperor would rather you didn't chase the assassin." ”

"Hehe, the queen mother taught you a lesson."

In the eyes of outsiders, it is a picture of mother's love and filial piety, but everyone present already knows it, and they are even more noncommittal about their good play.

As soon as Liu Yuyao got up, he heard Langying talk about the assassin, and said that the prince was injured after chasing the assassin.

She answered an oh word, didn't take it to heart, and was still wondering why she was in bed, didn't she sleep on the ground with the futon in her arms? When did you climb up?

The clothes are a little messy, but they are also quite complete.

Fortunately, it soon came out that the emperor was going to take the prince and the hundred officials to the hunting ground and order the female dependents to follow, and she immediately rejoiced, and immediately left the doubts she woke up behind.

The hunting ground of Fucang Mountain is in the middle of the mountainside, an open slope, full of colorful flags, set up temporary barracks, the largest of which is of course the emperor's place, the surrounding sheds are full of imperial relatives, dignitaries and nobles.

Liu Yuyao and Meng Xue were in a shed, and before they sat down, they saw the prince wearing silver soft armor and carrying a bow and arrows on the slope like the school training ground, followed by several adult princes, as well as some military generals, and those gentlemen who were raised in the courtyard of the deep mansion on weekdays.

The spring light was refracted on the corners of the prince's eyebrows and eyes, making his young and handsome face seem to be covered with a layer of glittering things, not only could he not force his eyes, but he would feel suffocated at a glance.

The symptoms of women are blushing and heartbeat, while the symptoms of men are anger and unable to help themselves.

Liu Yuyao looked outside the shed and felt that it was very fresh, "The prince looks good in such a dress, and it is not as useless as it usually looks." ”

Meng Xue hugged the puppy in her arms, scratched it gently, glanced at Liu Yuyao, and did not say anything.

After a while, the emperor ordered the hunt to begin, and the guards beat the big drum to the earth, and the prince took the lead, pulled out a sharp arrow from the quiver, and shot it at the arrow target not far away, the heart of the arrow was a little off, but it had no effect, because he just took this opportunity to announce that the hunt had officially begun.

The animals were released from the cage and ran into the mountains and forests, and the dignitaries and dignitaries dressed in various soft armor rushed into the mountains and forests with joy to pursue their prey.

Liu Yuyao's blood boiled, and she wanted to run out of the shed several times, but was stopped by Langying and said, "Today is the grand occasion of the men, don't make a mess, tomorrow, you can play as you like." ”

Liu Yuyao didn't believe in the words of the shadow, every time she told herself that she could play as she wanted, she always pointed fingers and meddled in things.

But I couldn't beat her, so I had to endure it.

Not long after the noon hunt went on, they heard a message from the guards in front of them, saying which prince had hunted what animals, and which young master had obtained something.

After a while, he saw the prince turn back and immediately hang a few pheasants, and the sound of the horse's hooves stopped, he turned over and dismounted, and explained to the emperor and queen that he was injured, and that he was not strong enough to shoot a few pheasants.

The Emperor waved his hand in disappointment, and let him rest aside.

Liu Yuyao watched from afar, but said dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong with the pheasant, don't look at the pheasant, this is the most test of kung fu, the pheasant can fly, and the ears are good, it is easier to be alarmed, usually as soon as you pull the bow, it will run away, and it will take a lot of effort for these pheasants to hunt back." ”

Lang Ying agreed, as a martial arts practitioner, she knew that it was easier to hunt large animals than petite pheasants.

Meng Xue saw that the prince was sitting down in the prince's pergola to rest, and the other princes had not returned, so she walked out of the shed with the puppy in her hand and walked towards the place where the prince was.

Li Che was wiping his bow and arrows, and glanced up at Meng Xuedao, "Why are you here?" ”

Meng Xue curtsied and handed over the puppy in her hand to the palace man: "Your Highness has come back from hunting, and the concubine should be congratulated." ”

The prince sneered, "But I shot a few pheasants, there is nothing to congratulate, I will see if they come back later, what big prey are there." ”

Meng Xue's delicate little face collapsed slightly, and I saw You Pian and said, "Your Highness thinks that there is a sarcasm in the concubine's words?" ”

"I didn't say that, you don't have to think about it, you women are often accompanied by deep boudoirs, and you feel fresh when you come out and see everything."

Meng Xue stepped forward, Qianqian's figure sat on the chair beside the prince, one hand pressed on the back of his hand to wipe the bow and arrows, her eyes were soft, and her words were sincere: "Others don't understand Your Highness, how can your concubine not understand, Your Highness's martial arts strategy, and your character is valuable, I know it." ”

"Oh?" Li Che held her hand and kissed it on the lips, quipping, "What else do you know?" ”

"The concubine also knows that these pheasants shot by His Royal Highness are stronger than the deer and pigs they shot, and the pheasants have always been vigilant, and they can't escape when there is a stir, not to mention that they still give you the opportunity to shoot arrows with a bow, and the pheasants still have wings, which can walk and fly, if the archery is not good, shooting pheasants is simply difficult to climb to the sky."

Li Che looked at her a few times and couldn't help laughing: "Who did you learn this from?" It's a set. ”

Meng Xue replied shyly: "It's just a speculative judgment of the concubine's body, which makes His Highness laugh." ”

Li Che was in a good mood and said with a smile: "What are the jokes, I didn't expect Xue'er to understand these truths if you stay in the boudoir often." ”

Meng Xue's body leaned slightly, but there was a smile on her face that was difficult to hide, but the word Xue'er was extremely useful to her, and she couldn't help but soften her voice and said: "Although Xue'er often stays in the boudoir, she must always accompany His Highness, and everything related to His Highness, the concubine will learn slowly." ”

Li Che smiled at her and didn't answer much.

However, this scene of Lang's love for concubines fell completely in the eyes of Liu Yuyao and Langying.

Liu Yuyao swallowed the melon seeds in her hand and said disapprerovitically: "The prince and Meng Xue are really a natural pair, don't you say?" ”

As if a sharp arrow was shot out of Langying's eyes, he looked at the man and woman from a distance, gritted his teeth and said, "No." ”

"Why not?" Liu Yuyao spit out the melon seed shell in her mouth, and couldn't help but smile: "Look, a jackal!" A tiger and leopard! A natural pair! ”

Lang Ying glanced at her angrily and said, "You want to say that she is talented and beautiful, right?" ”

"Hahaha! That's the idiom! Liu Yuyao laughed out loud.

"Yo, what is the crown princess talking about? Laughing so happily? ”

The two of them both turned their heads, only to see Concubine Li standing outside their shed with her palace people.

Liu Yuyao stretched out her hand and beckoned: "Mother, come in and sit, make a shadow, move the stool!" ”

Today's Li Guifei is dressed in an eggplant-colored coat of cloud brocade silk, her face is like a silver plate, her lips and teeth are dandan, and her steps are swaying lightly when walking, and her posture is elegant.

She was supported by her personal maid and sat in the shed, turned to look in the direction of the prince and said, "Why did His Royal Highness come back, and the princess didn't go over to ask?" ”

"What is there to ask," Liu Yuyao said disapprerovitically: "Isn't it just a few pheasants, and it's not worth celebrating if it's not killing people and stealing goods." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the shadow behind her touched her quietly, this time the force was not light, but people didn't see anything.

Liu Yuyao was woken up, and quickly kept silent, and when Concubine Li looked at her again, she smiled, showed a row of neat teeth and said, "Actually, I don't want to disturb them, you see how compatible they are." ”

Concubine Li took a sip of tea leisurely, glanced at the prince in the distance and said, "How can she compare to the crown princess as a lowly girl?" In terms of matching, all the girls in Beijing are lined up, and it won't be her turn. ”

These words are still a little useful in Liu Yuyao's ears, after all, she has had a little holiday with this woman.

I only heard Concubine Li say again: "Is her dog still raised?" ”

It's okay not to mention the dog, but when it comes to the dog, Liu Yuyao is angry, "Isn't it just a dog, it's more important than my son!" ”

Concubine Li Guifei turned her eyes, looked at Liu Yuyao and said with a smile: "She has no son, this dog is more important than her son, back then, the envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom entered Beijing and brought a curly-haired Ryukyu dog, and the palace liked it very much, and the concubines and concubines of the palace wanted the emperor to reward the dog to them, who would have thought that the prince would go." ”

Liu Yuyao wondered now, judging from the fact that the prince is often blamed by the emperor on weekdays, he doesn't seem to be very favored, why did he get this dog?

"He, how did he go?"

"Robbed it," Concubine Li looked at the pair of people leisurely: "Chong Guan was angry and red-faced, disregarding ethics, and took it away directly from our mother concubines, for this matter, the emperor said a lot about him." ”

After all, after all, there was no punishment, and the Shen family at that time could be said to cover the sky with one hand in the court.

"But ah, His Royal Highness the prince is a child's temperament, and he grabbed it and gave it to Xue Liangdi, and it was once rumored in the palace that the prince was infatuated!"

Liu Yuyao sighed, watching the prince and Na Xue Liangdi gossip with the dog, looking at each other and smiling from time to time, only to feel that the melon seeds in her mouth were tasteless, "So that's the case, no wonder Meng Xue reacted so much when she lost her dog that day, and wronged me for snatching her dog and refusing to give it to her, causing me to quarrel with her?" ”

Concubine Li raised her eyebrows and said, "Wronged? ”
