Chapter 562: Shame
As a prince who grew up in a fiefdom since he was a child, Qi Chengyan's horseback riding skills naturally have nothing to say, but this time Xiaoqiu Hunt has achieved such poor results, Qi Chengyan feels ashamed when he says it.
At the same time, Qi Chengyan also understood one thing in his heart, that is, he was indeed calculated by Qi Cheng'an, although this time Qi Cheng'an did not do anything to himself, but in fact, when he set off, Qi Cheng'an's smile at Qi Chengyan was the biggest hand.
If it weren't for Qi Cheng'an's sound to Qi Chengyan, then Qi Chengyan would not have been unsettled throughout the autumn hunting process.
And if Qi Chengyan hadn't been uncertain, then he would definitely not have achieved such bad results in this autumn hunt, so in Qi Chengyan's heart, he had already attributed all the face he had lost this time to Qi Chengan.
After returning to the place of departure, Qi Chengyan was still thinking about the previous things, so his face was very bad, after Qi Chengan saw this scene, he was secretly happy in his heart, knowing that his own strategy had worked.
However, as Qi Chengyan's brother, Qi Chengan still has to do enough kung fu on the surface.
"Fourth brother, why are you so listless, isn't it just that Xiaoqiu Hunt's results are not good, what's the big deal, besides, this is your first time participating, anyway, there are still a few days before the official autumn hunting, if you practice hard, you will definitely be able to catch up, the royal brother is very optimistic about you!"
Qi Cheng'an said as he reached out and patted Qi Chengyan's shoulder, in the eyes of others, Qi Cheng'an was comforting Qi Chengyan, but only Qi Chengyan knew in his heart that this was Qi Chengyan's sarcasm at all.
So Qi Chengyan didn't accept Qi Cheng'an's love at all, he directly shook off Qi Cheng'an's hand, and then he didn't hold back, and he got angry in front of Qi Cheng'an.
"Hmph, Qi Cheng'an, can you stop being so pretty, now because of your relationship, I lost a lot of people today, you should be very satisfied now!"
"You think I don't know, you deliberately smiled at me before, let me think that you did something on my horse, that's why you have been restless, you are really a villain, I am deeply ashamed to have someone like you as a royal brother!"
Qi Chengyan was a little angry and his face was a little red and his neck was thick, but he soon discovered one thing, that is, no matter how he said ugly words, Qi Chengan always had a smiling expression.
Qi Chengyan couldn't understand why at first, but it wasn't until Qi Cheng'an spoke again that he suddenly woke up.
"Fourth brother, Brother Huang understands your feelings, so even if you say this to me, I won't care, but now in front of so many courtiers, it's really a bit inappropriate for you to lose your temper like this, if you have to talk, the two of us just talk in private!"
Qi Cheng'an wanted to pat Qi Chengyan's shoulder again as he spoke, but Qi Chengyan stepped back, making Qi Chengyan's hand flutter, but Qi Cheng'an didn't care about this, he just continued to smile and look at Qi Chengyan.
"You...... You did it on purpose...... You ......"
Qi Chengyan was so angry that he had nothing to say, and at the same time, he also vaguely heard the whispers of the ministers around him.
"The four princes are really out of shape today......
"Indeed, I can't even see a little bit of my bearing as a prince......"
"The second prince is still more stable, always gentle and polite to his brothers, but in the end it is the prince who grew up in the imperial city, it's just ......different."
These whispering voices all came into the ears of Qi Chengan and Qi Chengyan, Qi Chengyan blushed with shame, but Qi Chengan still kept smiling.
After a long time, it turned out that this was Qi Cheng'an's real purpose, and Qi Chengyan knew that he had fallen into Qi Cheng'an's serial trap.
Laughter is to use a smile to make one's mind uneasy, and then use the anger in one's heart to make oneself lose face in front of the minister's children.
I have to say that Qi Cheng'an's calculations were really accurate, and he even calculated Qi Chengyan's reaction.
Qi Chengyan also knew that he was losing the upper hand today, and if he continued to make trouble, he was afraid that he would lose even more face, so after thinking about it, Qi Chengyan had to decide to give up for the time being, but he didn't intend to let Qi Chengan go so easily.
After returning to the prince's mansion in the imperial city, Qi Chengyan's previous anger in the autumn hunting ground had not been exhausted, and he thought that he had been framed by Qi Cheng'an three or four times, not only losing face, but also almost losing the emperor's heart for him.
The more Qi Chengyan thought about it, the more angry he became, and smashed a lot of things, but now, what is the use of smashing things, Qi Chengyan knows that the only thing he can do now is to find a way to fight back against Qi Cheng'an, maybe only in this way can he try his best to fight with Qi Cheng'an.
But when Qi Chengyan thought that the matter of the autumn hunt had passed like this, but after he went down to the court once, he heard some voices again, and after listening carefully, it turned out that there were still ministers discussing what happened that day.
Qi Chengyan was very angry at that time, but because of his face, he was embarrassed to attack directly, so he quickly returned to the mansion and called his henchmen.
"You go and inquire immediately, and see what happened in the autumn hunting ground that day, how many people know about it, why so many days have passed, and there are still people talking about it!"
"Yes, my subordinates will do it, master, please wait a moment!"
After the henchman finished speaking, he left, and then immediately began to investigate, and after some investigation, the truth that came out made the henchman a little surprised.
The children of the ministers could see clearly what had happened in the autumn hunting ground before, and when these children returned home, they naturally wanted to tell their parents what happened.
Moreover, when the children of the ministers convey the matter to their parents, there will be more or less subordinates around, so there is no doubt that these things will reach the ears of the subordinates.
There are no pastime activities for the next people, so in addition to busy work, the rest of the time is to sit together and gossip.
And once the gossip is too much, it comes and goes, and this matter quickly becomes known to everyone, and there is no doubt that it will spread to the people.
This is good, half of the human society that Qi Chengyan worked so hard to build for himself before has collapsed, and the people who praised Qi Chengyan before are also talking about Qi Chengyan's true character.
No matter what, the matter of the autumn hunt is a fact, so Qi Chengyan quickly gained a reputation for being narrow-minded and narrow-minded in the mouths of the people.
And on the contrary, Qi Cheng'an has earned a good reputation, everyone says that he is magnanimous and knowledgeable, especially in the treatment of his brothers, and his good reputation was suddenly made by Qi Cheng'an.
These words naturally reached the ears of Qi Cheng'an and Qi Chengyan at the same time, and after Qi Cheng'an heard it, the pride in his heart can be imagined.
But Qi Chengyan's side is not so good, and his reputation among the people has dropped sharply, which can be described as a big blow to Qi Chengyan.
