A little eunuch brought a handsome sweaty BMW to the stage to stand still, it should be for His Majesty, those ministers are still calm, and the young people are all grinding their fists and eager to try.

"Father, my son also wants to go hunting this year." At this moment, a crisp voice sounded, and everyone saw that it was the voice of the prince standing beside Princess Yiyuan.

His Majesty also looked at him, showing a bit of surprise, and muttered for a while, but he didn't respond immediately.

At this time, standing in front of the stage, a young man about thirty years old dressed in a purple Dake Aya Luo narrow-sleeved shirt with a jade belt hook hanging from his waist smiled and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, since the eldest prince has the intention of hunting, and it is also just a matter of testing his riding and archery skills, maybe the eldest prince can still hunt a deer, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing." ”

Xu Mingyuan looked at the young man who spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, this person Li Mu had specially introduced him before, it was the big red man in the court today, King Xiang.

King Xiang is about thirty years old, with a slender figure, a dignified appearance, and long ears, which is a blessing. The voice is warm, like a spring breeze, if it is the first time to meet people, they will definitely have a good impression of him.

However, Xu Mingyuan naturally did not get close to Su Yimeng because of Su Yimeng's preconception, but felt that such a talent was very difficult.

His Majesty heard King Xiang say this, nodded and said: "Okay, since the emperor has this intention, then this year I will allow you to enter the mountain, if you can catch a deer, I will reward you with another thing." ”

"Thank you, Father." The prince's face showed joy, and he said happily, but he did not lose his manners.

His Majesty laughed. Stepped down from the high platform, stepped on the stirrups and turned over on the horse's back. The movements are neat, and they do not look old at all.

"Zhong Aiqing. Follow me into the mountains! His Majesty stretched out his hand to take the hard bow handed over by a little eunuch, and said with a smile, and with a wave of the horsewhip wrapped in gold wire in his hand, the sweaty and bloody BMW under his crotch had rushed out of the road that everyone had gotten out of.

One rode first, and then dozens of guards with knives rode horses and followed five zhang away, guarding separately in a fan-like shape.

A strange whistle sounded, startling a few birds, Xu Mingyuan looked thoughtfully in the direction of the woods, this was the whistle of the Yuntai Division's transmission. It should be to remind the people of the Yuntai Division in the forest to pay attention to His Majesty's movements.

His Majesty had already set off first, and everyone in the audience also led their horses one after another, and rode towards the slowly rising woods one after another.

Although the young man was in a hurry, it was not good to go out first at the beginning, so they all waited for those pot-bellied, gray-haired Huang Zi Gongqing to get on the horse and ride out first, and then they followed one after another.

Xu Mingyuan and Li Mu went to the side to get bows and arrows and led the horses.

Li Mu asked Xu Mingyuan to wait for the meeting first, and rode to the high platform. After saying a few words to the concubine in the purple dress, he rode back and rode forward with Xu Mingyuan with the crowd that was almost gone.

That concubine must be Concubine Qiong's mother, that is, Li Mu's aunt.

Xu Mingyuan is slow, and there is a group of people who are slower than them. It was the eldest prince who had said that he was going to hunt before, but at this time, he stepped on the back of the eunuch and climbed on the back of the horse several times but failed to climb up, and there was already a lot of sweat on his forehead at this time. It also made Xu Mingyuan and Li Mu laugh secretly.

Princess Yiyi rode the snow-white horse and stood aside, but she was not in a hurry. Just quietly watched the great prince continue to climb on horseback.

Behind them were more than two dozen guards with knives on horseback, led by the chief manager of Na Qin. At this time, they all lowered their heads, as if they didn't dare to look at the funny behavior of the big prince.

Xu Mingyuan and Li Mu naturally didn't stop waiting for them, but because they didn't keep up with the people in front, the two of them could talk.

"Princess Yiyi knows His Majesty's preferences, but the eldest prince is too unmotivated, and it is not easy to help him up." Li Mu glanced back at the eldest prince who barely climbed on horseback, and smiled.

"I think the eldest prince is only about ten years old, and the younger prince is only five or six years old, but why hasn't the emperor appointed a prince?" Xu Mingyuan looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one, he asked softly with some puzzlement.

"You can't talk nonsense about the establishment of a prince." Li Mu also looked left and right, rode closer to Xu Mingyuan, and said softly: "This court has been divided into three factions because of this matter, one faction supports King Xiang, one faction supports the eldest prince, and one faction supports the second prince, it is estimated that Your Majesty will be difficult to decide, so this matter has been delayed again and again." ”

As soon as Li Mu said this, Xu Mingyuan was also surprised, he didn't expect that there would be so much involved in this matter. It's just that although King Xiang is a prince, he should have nothing to do with the succession to the throne, so how can it be involved in the matter of establishing a prince.

"I won't say much about King Xiang now, this has nothing to do with His Majesty's succession to the throne back then, as for the second prince was born to the current Queen Mother, Princess Yi and the eldest prince were born to the same mother, the entanglement between this, ordinary people can't figure it out at all." As if seeing Xu Mingyuan's doubts, Li Mu explained simply.

However, this place is not a safe place after all, so Li Mu didn't say much, after saying these two sentences, he leaned a little to the side, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xu, I bought these two horn bows at a great price, today we might as well come to the competition to see who can shoot a deer." ”

"Okay, don't say I didn't remind you, my archery technique is taught by a master, and it won't be a problem to wear Yang in a hundred steps." Xu Mingyuan also said with a smile, reaching out and touching the horn bow hanging on the side of the horse, it was slightly cool to the touch and very smooth, it was indeed a rare good bow.

There is also a barrel of feather arrows hanging next to it, with boxwood as a rod and eagle feathers as arrow feathers.

In the Beili grassland, Xu Mingyuan specially learned archery from the herdsmen on the grassland, although he hadn't shot an arrow for a long time, it was not a problem to shoot a deer.

After Li Mu's explanation, Xu Mingyuan also roughly understood the situation of the competition for the crown prince between the court and China, and it seems that even if he enters the court, he will inevitably stand in the position.

Then why did King Xiang speak for the eldest prince before? Xu Mingyuan couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart, or did he already know that the eldest prince's riding skills were mediocre, and he intended to let him make jokes in front of hundreds of civil and military officials?

Xu Mingyuan remembered what Bai Molou said to him that day, smiled and shook his head, this pool of water is indeed not something he can wade through now, and he can't attract the attention of these people at all now.

Xu Mingyuan and Li Mu rode up the gentle slope, and hundreds of people rode past before, leaving a mess, where were there any birds and beasts.

The mountain range is gentle, and the woods are not very dense, and the horses can be passed at will, and hundreds of people pour into the mountains, and some cries and cheers can be heard, and it seems that some people have already shot some prey.

Xu Mingyuan and Li Mu glanced at each other, both grinned, waved their horsewhips, and rode into the mountains and forests.
