Chapter 37: Paddock Distress
When Ye Jin chased out, Yun Jing was no longer visible, leaving only a group of headless flies anxiously looking for people's minions, as soon as they saw her chasing out, it was like seeing a savior, and they knelt on the ground.
"Ask Niangniang to help find the county lord to come out, she won't listen to the minions......"
"I beg my mother to have mercy, if something happens to the county lord, the minions can't afford to pay for their ten heads......"
couldn't help their gossip and pleading, Ye Jin entered the paddock as soon as his brain was hot, and walked straight forward without a goal, dangling in the forest I don't know how long, until the forest became more and more quiet, and there was no road in front of a dense forest.
There was a rustling sound in the grass, and a fawn appeared in front of her, strolling leisurely.
It's so cute! Ye Jin stopped, squatted down and brushed aside the grass in front of him, and cautiously approached and reached out to touch its smooth fur, "Don't be afraid.....
Behind a thick tree trunk not far away, a sharp arrow was aimed straight at this side, and a man and a deer did not realize the danger approaching in the slightest.
"Whoosh——! The sharp arrow burst through the air, whistling past Ye Jin's ears and neatly passing through the fawn's neck.
Ye Jin gasped and watched blankly as the deer in front of him fell down with blood.
"Whoosh——! The second arrow came at a rapid pace, and she closed her eyes screaming, and the next moment she was caught, and the sky spun around.
"What are you doing here?"
The familiar voice dispelled the fear, Ye Jin opened her eyes, and saw the sharp arrow stuck straight into the position where she was standing just now, the tip of the arrow was deep into the ground, she shuddered, this arrow was clearly coming at her.
There was a slight sound not far away, Mingzi Su followed the sound coldly, looked down at Ye Jin who was stunned in his arms, frowned, hesitated for a moment and gave up the idea of catching up, turned his head and stretched out his hand to pull out the arrow on the ground, and on the arrow, the word "Yan" was clearly visible.
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
After the hunt, the princes returned to the camp with their booty in high spirits, while Ming Zisu led Ye Jin out of the forest with a horse in one hand and a cold face in the other.
Yun Jing was crying in Jiuqing's arms for some reason, and the placket in front of Jiuqing was soaked.
"Crying for what?" Mingzi Su asked lightly.
Yun Jing's shoulders shook from crying, and when she raised her head and saw Ye Jin, she was stunned, and her tearful eyes flashed with disbelief.
"Sharp arrows have no eyes, next time the county lord should not break into the paddock." Mingzi Su's cold eyes swept over Yun Jing lightly, and she felt a chill in her heart, and she couldn't help but shiver.
Ye Jin looked at Jiuqing's gentle and beautiful face and was stunned, and a familiar feeling came up from the bottom of his heart.
In this autumn hunt, King Ming Ziyan of Qi won the first place, he transferred all the rewards to Yun Jing, even a peerless bow in the southern tribute, and was scolded by the emperor before giving up, and the queen picked some things for her daughter's family to add.
At night, there is a banquet in the palace, singing and dancing, laughter is flourishing, and Yunjing is the most lively here during the banquet.
"The kids love Jing'er! In the future, when I get married, I will be more affectionate. Nian Zhiyi looked at Yun Jing who was submerged in the princess and prince gently.
"Yes, thank you for your love." Jiuqing replied in a low voice.
The emperor raised his wine glass and drank it all: "Yesterday, there was good news from the north, Yun Lie broke through the 10,000 horses of the Northern Hanging Kingdom in one fell swoop at Yanguan, and also captured a deputy general of the enemy army, he is really a sharp sword of mine!" His wife and children, how can I not be kind? ”
Speaking of the good news, the emperor's face was not angry and arrogant, and his eyes turned to fall on Jiuqing's face with a smile: "What's more, Yun Jing is well-behaved, exactly the same as when you were young." ”
"Jing'er is indeed very likable, otherwise how can we let our son Qi not keep his soul, let alone him, the concubine also likes it very much!" Nian Zhiyi took over with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you." Jiuqing smiled slightly.
Different from the hustle and bustle of the palace, Ming Zisu sat quietly on the couch and poured himself a drink, occasionally looking up at Yun Jing, who was surrounded by a group of princes and princesses, and swept King Qi, who had been looking at her infatuatedly, with a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
Yun Jing finally got out, looked around for a long time and finally saw Ming Ziyu quietly eating snacks in the corner, lowered her head and whispered a few words to the maid next to her, a trace of resoluteness flashed on her pink and fair face, and left the table.
The noisy singing and dancing gradually faded away, the roots of the ears finally became quiet, and when the aftermath was gone, Yun Jing was already in the depths of the imperial garden, the autumn wind was blowing, the shadows of the trees moved slightly, and the fallen leaves of the branches drifted down with the wind, falling on her emaciated shoulders.
There was a sound of footsteps behind her, and she turned her head happily, her expression suddenly frozen: "Why are you ......?"
Mingzi Su looked at her quietly, her eyes were cold: "You saved her that day, and today it will be returned, remember, if there is a next time, I will never be merciful." ”
Yun Jing's eyes dodged: "What do you mean......"
"Framing the prince, assassinating the princess, disturbing the paddock, how many heads do you have? How many military exploits does your Yun family have for you to practice? ”
Yun Jing's face turned pale: "How do you know it's me ......?"
Because King Qi didn't have the heart to do it, there was no need to do it, but Ming Zisu didn't say it, but took out a long brocade box from his arms and handed it to her, and said lightly: "Pure nature, why bother to defile yourself." ”
Yun Jing took it and opened it, and an arrow lay quietly.
"That's the end of the matter, you can do it yourself."
Ming Ziyu was late: "I'm sorry I'm late, there are many people in the palace today, I found an opportunity to come out easily, is there anything wrong?" ”
"It's all right......"
Prudence and reason are his usual attitude, and there is nothing to be disappointed in......
Yun Jing put away the box, the ridicule in the corner of her eyes gradually disappeared, and it was replaced by a very bitter smile, "I just want to see you, after all, I am going to get married, this life is bounded by today, I used to be devoted to you, looking forward to spending this life with you, and now I am in love with you, and I only want to be with you for the rest of my life." ”
"Jing'er......" Ming Ziyu was shocked by the resoluteness in her eyes and took a step back, almost unable to stand, his own caution looked humble and cowardly in front of her, and he almost fled in a hurry.
Ming Zisu and Yun Jing returned to the table one after the other.
Ye Xiang has been cold since the last time he fell into the water, and from time to time Champa covered his lips and coughed lightly, and finally succeeded in attracting Nian Zhiyi's attention and letting Ye Jin withdraw his eyes from Yun Jing.
"Zhen'er's cough seems to be running out for a long time, why hasn't it gotten better?"
"Thank you for your care, the concubine has lost her honor." Ye Xiang deliberately coughed a few times again, and apologized pitifully.
Ye Jin poked Ming Zisu with his elbow and reminded him quietly: "You say two words......
Mingzi Su's face darkened: "What did I say?" ”
"Comfort, comfort, ......"
The cold air was shrouded, and Ming Zisu gritted his teeth: "Ye Jin, don't mess with me." ”
Ye Jin shrunk his neck and retorted inexplicably: "When did I mess with you?" ”
"Now." Ming Zisu narrowed his eyes dangerously, as if unintentionally raised his hand to knock over the wine in front of him and splashed himself, and then dragged Ye Jin's wrist without changing his face and got up, picked up the corners of his wet clothes and said to the emperor: "Father, please let Erchen go and change his clothes." ”
Ye Jin was dragged by him and almost didn't fly, and grabbed his sleeve out of breath: "You..... Bring...... Where am I going......"
"Don't talk to me like that." He stopped abruptly.
"Huh?" What kind of talk to him?
Ye Jin was caught off guard and plunged into his arms, and in the next moment, his body was lightly picked up by him, he looked down at her, a faint hazy smile appeared on Ruyu's face, and the ink pupils were as bright as the stars and the moon.
"I can't stand your gasp. ”
“......”
At the banquet, singing and laughing, the wine was half-drunk, and the emperor suddenly stretched out his hand to Yun Jing and signaled: "Jing'er, come here." ”
Yun Jing stepped forward obediently and lay on the emperor's lap like a child, with a pair of black and white eyes on her fair and pink face.
The emperor stroked her cloud-like hair lovingly, and asked meaningfully, "Jing'er is seventeen this year, right?" ”
Yun Jing's face turned red, and she silently raised her eyes to look at Ming Ziyu's empty seat, she never saw him return to the table after saying goodbye to the imperial garden, she bit her lip gloomily, and suddenly felt a burning gaze, she followed the look, and a glance crashed into Ming Ziyan's burning eyes, she was slightly stunned, and lowered her head with a red face.
The emperor took in the shyness on her face, and smiled: "My little Yunjing will blush when she grows up, don't worry, your marriage will not be worse than my princess, and your husband will be more noble than my concubine!" ”
Yun Jing straightened up, knelt down solemnly in front of the emperor, and said seriously: "The emperor loves Yun Jing, Yun Jing knows, but the emperor can know that the so-called Venerable is outstanding to ordinary people, and those who are outstanding to ordinary people will be able to be ordinary people, and those who can be ordinary people will be proud of ordinary people, and those who are proud of ordinary people will be difficult to treat Yun Jing with the heart of ordinary people, so Yun Jing thinks that as long as the two are happy, it is enough." ”
A strange color flashed in the emperor's eyes: "So you already have a crush?" ”
Yun Jing gritted her teeth and replied firmly: "Yes." ”
"Oh? I'm curious about whose son has such a good fortune? He compared all his sons.
Yun Jing lowered her head and was silent for a moment, and finally made up her mind, no matter what his attitude was, she had to follow her heart, even if the result was not satisfactory, she would not regret fighting for it, but when she raised her head with a smile, the smile froze at the corner of her mouth, and she couldn't say anything more.
Ming Ziyu didn't know when he came back, he stood at the door and looked at Yun Jing from afar, shaking his head at her slowly and solemnly, his eyes were firm like she had never seen before, obviously he had realized what Yun Jing was going to say next, and disagreed.
Yun Jing's face turned white, the tears of grievance almost burst out of her eyes, she knelt stupidly in place and did not react, the emperor did not ask any more, but kept looking at her silently, the meaning was obvious, waiting for her answer.
