Chapter 63: The Hunt I
Zuo Qiu Xuhe here came to pick her up and went to the hunting ground. So they came together to the designated rest area of the hunting ground.
A high platform was erected here, and on the platform was a shade shed, in which tables and chairs were placed, and the tables and chairs were relatively low, and it was necessary to sit cross-legged on them, and the tables and chairs were placed on the table, and tables and chairs were also placed on the left and right sides of this platform, which were the seats of the vassal kings and messengers of each family.
Hunting belonged to men in ancient times, so family members were generally not invited, except for the royal family, who could take their wives on trips, and the rest of the people were not allowed to accompany them.
Zuo Qiu Xuhe took Ye Xi's hand and sat in the shed, and at this time everyone saluted them, "Ministers and others see Your Majesty, see the Queen Mother!" They bent down and saluted, and Zuo Qiu Xuhe raised his hand to signal them to get up.
Zuo Qiu Xuhe glanced at the people below, with a smile on his face, "Today is the day of hunting, I hope you will go all out!" If you can come out on top, I will be rewarded! ”
After saying this, Gonggong An next to him stood on the edge of the platform, "If you can win the first place this time, Your Majesty will give him this ** and golden arrows." Gonggong An clapped his palms, and the two young soldiers took out the ** and golden arrows.
When the people below saw the golden bow and arrow, their eyes flashed with greed, if this bow and arrow was given by an ordinary person, it was nothing remarkable. But the bow and arrow in front of him were given by the emperor, and it was a supreme honor. If you get this bow and arrow, you will get honor, the honor of the emperor's reward, which is extremely important to everyone. That's why this bow and arrow becomes important.
Ye Xi sat next to him, looking idle and had nothing to do, Ye Xi turned his head and asked Yuxiu in a low voice, "Yuxiu, they all went hunting, what are we women doing?" ”
She muttered to herself that she didn't like to sit here bored, waiting for them, and that she might as well go back to sleep.
Yuxiu bent over and whispered to her, "Of course, Niangniang and the princesses are waiting for their husbands to come back. ”
Ye Xi rolled her eyes speechlessly, she really thought like this, sit and wait, I'm crazy.
Ye Xi stood up and said impatiently, "Who wants to wait, wait by yourself, this palace has paid back." ”
Zuo Qiu Xuhe looked indifferent, glanced at Yuxiu suspiciously, and asked again, "What's wrong with the queen?" ”
Yuxiu looked at the queen and then at the emperor, she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang thinks that waiting for others is too boring, so she wants to go back to the tent to rest." ”
Zuo Qiu Xuhe watched everyone staring at him and the queen, he raised his forehead and smiled, his face was full of anger and amusement, and pulled her to sit down, "You girl, if you are really bored, why don't you ride a horse and go hunting with me, how about it?" ”
Ye Xi shook his head, "It's boring to hunt with you, why don't you read my medical book?" ”
Zuo Qiu Xuhe heard this, and there was really nothing she could do, but she had to be present on an occasion like today, and sighed, "Then you say, what do you want to do?" ”
Ye Xi really thought about it for a while according to what she said, "Why don't you ask someone to bring a few medical books over, and I'll take a look at the medical books to pass the time." ”
Ye Xi couldn't really refute his face, but he was the king of a country, and he couldn't let him lose face in front of so many people, so he had to give him a step down.
But this weird picture made Yuxiu and the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground scared enough, and the queen mother was too bold, hunting with you, it's boring, and compare a few medical books with Your Majesty, can you say these words casually?
Everyone below thought that the emperor was going to be angry and reprimanded the queen fiercely, but they saw an even more bizarre and terrifying picture. I saw His Majesty the Emperor, who was usually noble and majestic, suddenly laughing in a good mood.
He gently pulled the standing queen into his arms, "You ghost girl, I really can't do anything about you." He gently hooked her little nose.
Then he commanded, "Someone! Go get some medical books. ”
Zuo Qiu Xu and Na Neng didn't understand, she felt that waiting for others was too boring, so she didn't want to sit here, but she also knew that she had to be present on an occasion like today. So I didn't want to lose face, so I had to stay here and pass the time with medical books. It is precisely because he understands that he understands himself so well and is so considerate of himself, that he is even more irresistible to her and loves her so much.
Everyone saw that the emperor was not angry but laughed, and they didn't understand at all, what was going on? His Majesty was not angry and smiled.
Ye Xi pushed him away, left his embrace, and glanced at him fiercely, "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to hug me without my permission, next time you do this, don't blame me for beating you." ”
A few princes under the stage, as well as those envoys, heard what the queen said, beating the emperor, they were incredible, Your Majesty is too much for the queen to come, this is also too embarrassing for the royal face.
Zuo Qiu Xuhe looked at everyone staring at him, with a stunned expression, he said with a cold face, "What do you see, I haven't seen the emperor and the queen flirt!" ”
Everyone looked at the emperor who was not angry and arrogant at this moment, and whispered in their hearts, is this the majestic and inviolable majesty in their eyes? It must have been a hallucination.
Zuo Qiu Xuhe said to Ye Xi, "Sit here and wait for me to come back, don't run around, you know?" Ye Xi didn't speak, just nodded.
Zuo Qiu Xuhe stepped off the stage, the little soldier brought his mount, he rode on the BMW, and the whole person was heroic, making his face shine.
"Let's go!" He raised his arms and rode forward.
As soon as the man left, there was only a group of guards left in the place at this moment, as well as a few royal ladies.
The women of the palace sitting at the bottom had jealousy on their faces, they didn't expect the king of a country to love a woman so much. Especially when I saw the other party's face, which was many times more gorgeous than theirs, I was even more jealous and hateful. But they can only hate in their hearts, can't they really do anything? After all, the other party is the queen.
Ye Xi held the medical book in his hand and slowly flipped through it, and at this time, a woman in an exotic dress stood up.
I saw that she was wearing a short red vest with spring flowers embroidered on the upper body, a red waist-length skirt on the lower body, the hem only reached her ankles, and a pair of dark red boots embroidered with dark patterns on her feet.
She walked to the middle and looked at Ye Xi, "Queen Mother, the envoy is the princess of the Wasu tribe, named Vatali. I heard that the queen is the princess of Rongjiang country, but I don't know that women in Rongjiang country can be good at riding and shooting? The Queen Mother would like to try it out with Vatali! This was obviously a provocative remark, which made Ye Xi smile lightly.
She knew that it would be a good thing for her to stay, and someone would come to stir up trouble. She really didn't want to cause trouble, but these people always like to come to her for trouble, what can she do?
Yuxiu was about to scold the other party, but Ye Xi gently patted her hand, indicating that she was a little relieved.
Ye Xiyan smiled calmly, "The princess said that she laughed, how could this palace ride and shoot?" If the princess likes to ride and shoot, she can go to the hunting ground and hunt with His Majesty.
I heard that the princess came with her third brother this time, why don't you go to your third brother and shoot with him? ”
She had learned about the envoys of several vassal countries this time, just to cope with today's scene.
Ye Xi thought to himself, he said it so clearly, I hope you can stop in moderation, otherwise don't blame me for making you lose too ugly.
Vatali stood there, without the slightest intention of retreating, Ye Xi rolled his eyes, and ventriloquished angrily in his heart, do these people not understand human words?
Vatali's tone was arrogant, "Queen Mother, the envoy really wants to compete with Queen Mother, does Niang Niang look down on the Wasu Clan?" So I don't want to compete. Her aggressive words made Ye Xi speechless.
Ye Xi looked at her, "You really want to compare!" No regrets! ”
Vatali shook her head, "No regrets!" ”
Ye Xi said, "Okay! You say, than what? I'm with you. ”
Vatali's proud countenance, "Queen Mother, how about it be compared to archery, horseback riding, and hunting?" ”
Ye Xi secretly thought in her heart, archery and hunting are OK for her, but riding a horse, she once swore that if she was alive in this life, she would never ride a horse alone, this was her promise to her brother.
He once rode a horse with his younger brother, and from the moment he fell off the horse, his leg became disabled, and he was confined to a wheelchair ever since. At that time, she had an agreement with her brother that when his leg was healed, she would accompany her to the horse farm to ride a horse and let him have enough fun, and before that, she would never ride a horse alone.
When she became a doctor, she also wanted to cure his leg, but later after she became a doctor, he was sent abroad by her parents for treatment.
When he became a normal person and returned home, his misfortune happened again, she got cancer and spent most of her time in the hospital. At that time, she swore that she would never ride a horse again in her life.
This is also the reason why she has never ridden a horse alone since she came to ancient times.
Ye Xi looked at Vatali, "Princess Tali, this palace can be compared with you, but only archery and hunting, as for horse riding, sorry, this palace once promised a person that he would never ride a horse alone in this life." ”
Vatali looked at her, "Queen Mother, why don't you want to ride a horse, did you really agree to others, or didn't dare." If you have promised someone else, then tell your envoy who that person is. "Ye Xi hates others to use his younger brother to pick quarrels and provoke trouble.
Ye Xi slapped his palm on the table next to him, and stood up suddenly, his face was cold, and his tone was piercing, "Vatali, this palace warns you, if you ask one more word, this palace will kill you, believe it or not!" ”
It was the first time for Yuxiu to see the woman in front of her with such a big anger, and she was full of death, and she believed that what she said about killing the other party was true.
Vatali was shocked by the oppressive anger exuded from her body, as well as the eyes that wanted to kill, and she knelt down in fright, "Queen Mother, minister, minister is wrong, also, please forgive Niangniang!" ”
The palace maids and eunuchs standing beside Ye Xi were also frightened, and they knelt down at the same time, bowing their heads, not daring to look at the angry queen in front of them.
Ye Xi's face was not shocked, but his voice was terrifying, "This palace warns you, before doing things or talking, you have thought about it first, and then you will lose your life, but you can't blame others." ”
Ye Xi walked down as he spoke, grabbed her chin, and made her look directly at herself, "This palace doesn't like to kill people, and it doesn't like dead people, but if someone repeatedly provokes her, this palace doesn't recommend letting her taste life is worse than death." After she finished speaking, she threw her hard, and the other party was already kneeling on the ground, and at this time she couldn't hold her body and crawled to the ground.
Zuo Qiu Xu here replied to the people, saying that someone wanted to compete with the queen mother in archery, horseback riding, and hunting.
Zuo Qiu Xuhe couldn't wait to see the scene of Xiaoxi's game, and he ordered, "Today's hunt ends here, and it will continue tomorrow!" Then he turned his horse's head and hurried back
Ye Xi looked at the guard, "Your name is Li Hu!" Go get the target and the bow! ”
At this moment, Vatali finally knew that the woman in front of her was not as gentle, elegant, and feminine as she seemed on the surface, she was a sleeping she-wolf, who could quietly let you die without a place to be buried.
The guard was shocked that the queen mother remembered her name. He was a lieutenant general of Xiao Jifeng, named Li Hu.
Ye Xi looked at his shocked face and smiled, "I saw General Xiao call you that yesterday, so I remembered it." ”
Li Hu's face was full of panic, but he was excited, "The last general will do it immediately." ”
Vatali didn't dare to look down on the unattainable woman in front of her, she looked serious and didn't dare to be careless.
Li Hu sent someone to get the arrow target and bow and arrow, Li Hu handed the bow and arrow to Ye Xi, and the arrow target had been arranged.
Li Hu also wanted to see the ability of the queen mother in front of him, and through the extraordinary medical skills of the mother last night, he was sure that the mother's archery decision was also eye-catching.
The bow and arrow that Li Hu took was specially ordered by the emperor to make silverware, the whole body was glowing with silver, and the arrows were also silver arrows, as for the strings, they were made of high-quality rhinoceros leather.
The first time Vatali saw the arrow, she knew it was extraordinary.
"Niangniang, if the envoy wins, Niangniang is willing to give the bow and arrow in your hand to the envoy." ”
Ye Xi smiled, "Then it depends on whether you have the ability to win against me!" She looked confident.
Li Hu said from the bottom of his heart, Queen Mother, you must win! This is a bow and arrow specially made by the emperor for you, if you lose to Princess Vatali, then this bow and arrow will be handed over to the queen by herself, Your Majesty knows, if you don't kill me, you will have to deal with it by military law.
Vatali did not speak, but took her bow and arrow, aimed at the target, drew the bow and shot the arrow, only to see her arrow swoop and pierce into the red heart in the middle of the target.
