The royal family's hunting arrangement was arranged in the southern suburbs of the royal forest farm Wanlin Yuan, where there are vast artificial meadows and dense woods, in which many prey are stocked, and after a whole year, they are already very fat.

It was afternoon when I arrived at Wanlin Garden, and the weather was a little hot, so the emperor arranged to rest for the time being.

Liu Qingyan and Lu Siguan were arranged to live in a courtyard on the west side of Wanlin Garden, and the courtyard next to them turned out to be the three members of the Nangong family.

This matter was discovered when Liu Qingyan and Lu Siguan got off the carriage together, and at that time, Nangong Hui looked at Liu Qingyan with a vicious face, and said with a sneer: "It's really not that the enemy doesn't get together, Princess Qi." ”

"Sister, you can't say that," Nangong Yi stepped forward on the side and saluted Liu Qingyan and Lu Siguan, "In the end, the prince and the princess, where can you say what kind of enemy they are?" If it is heard by others, it can be said that our Nangong family is uneducated. ”

"Hui'er, you are the eldest daughter, but you don't have your younger brother to understand things!" Nangong Dao scolded in a low voice on the side.

Nangong Hui was stunned, snorted, threw off her sleeves and walked into their courtyard, leaving the father and son to look at each other, and then looked at Liu Qingyan and Lu Siguan, both of them had apologetic faces on their faces.

"I really don't want to go, the prince, the princess, my daughter, I didn't want to bring her here, but the prince hinted that he must bring her, so ......" Nangong said in a very difficult way.

"It's okay, General." Liu Qingyan said with a smile, grabbed Lu Siguan's arm and was about to walk into the courtyard.

Nangong Yi said: "It's been a long time, Lord Wang, I don't know if I can talk to you again?" The last time I lost to you, I've been thinking about how to deal with your move since I went back, and I've come up with a very good solution. ”

Lu Si looked at the past: "I'm very tired today, let's talk about it later." ”

He bluntly rejected Nangong Yi, and the so-called "after some time" means that there is no future, which could not be more obvious.

It was impossible for Nangong Yi not to hear it, but he still smiled and nodded: "Naturally, it is indeed very tiring to run all the way, the prince and the princess, let's rest first." ”

"See you tomorrow on the hunting grounds, little general!" Liu Qingyan waved her hand at Nangong Yi, then turned her head back, and entered the courtyard with Lu Siguan.

Entering the room, Liu Qingyan looked at Lu Siguan with some reproach: "Didn't we say okay on the way?" The hussar general had achieved a lot of success, and if he spoke in front of the emperor, he must have a lot of weight. Your authority has not been restored, and I am afraid that there is really no good way to do it on your own. It would be nice if you could get the help of the Great General. ”

After a pause, Liu Qingyan muttered, "But why are you so indifferent to the little general?" Didn't you promise me to be a brother to him? ”

"Father and son are not fools," Lu Si glanced at her, "If they say anything, I will readily agree, but I am afraid that they will only think that I am ingratiating." ”

Liu Qingyan said "oh": "Is that so?" ”

Lu Si nodded: "That's right." And although I don't know why the little general would want to be a good brother with me, I always feel that he will not give up like this, but will continue to come to me in the future. ”

Liu Qingyan said with a smile: "Then don't reject people too many times at that time, maybe he will think you are too indifferent and won't come to you in the future." ”

Lu Siguan opened his arms and hugged her: "I will pay attention and grasp the proportions." ”

The next day, the hunting convention of the royal family officially began.

Liu Qingyan, as a female dependent, naturally sat with a kind of princess, county lord, princesses and concubines from all walks of life, fortunately, there was a distance between Liu Qingyan and Nangong Hui. Liu Qingyan really can't imagine that if she was very close to Nangong Hui, Nangong Hui would pull her hair and scold angrily......

All the sons and brothers, whether they are the children of aristocratic families or the princes and princes, all step on the horses and are eager to try, which is the most important event of the hunting conference every year, that is, the riding and archery competition.

There is a stipulated time of two hours, and the boy who has hunted the most prey is considered to be a winner.

If you win the riding and archery competition of the hunting competition, although there is no substantial reward, you will definitely be able to win the favor of the emperor, and if so, then it will be much easier to do anything.

Therefore, Lu Siguan and Liu Qingyan jointly believed that if they wanted to restore the power of the King of Qi, they would win this hunting competition and make the emperor pay attention to Lu Siguan. However, this matter is not simple, in addition to Lu Siguan, there are many young people who are also good at this.

Liu Qingyan was a little nervous for Lu Siguan, but Lu Siguan sat on the horse, waved his hand at Liu Qingyan from afar, and was dressed in red wrapped in silver armor, which was really dazzling and beautiful.

Liu Qingyan couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth and smile, and also stretched out her hand and waved at him.

Sitting on Liu Qingyan's left hand side is the princess of Baili Ruocheng, she held her cheek with one hand, looked at Lu Siguan, sighed again, and said: "I really envy Lord Yin of the Beijing Mansion, not only can women be officials, but also married to one of the most beautiful men in the imperial city." ”

"The princess is really joking," Liu Qingyan smiled modestly and looked at Princess Baili Ruocheng, "If the princess wants to marry, he will definitely be able to marry a peerless talent." King Qi is categorically inferior to the future Horse Master. ”

"I didn't expect Princess Qi to be very good at talking." Princess Baili Ruocheng nodded slightly.

Liu Qingyan said: "It's not that I can speak, but with the appearance and qualifications of a princess, I am far above me, if the princess wants to marry, I will definitely be able to marry someone better than my husband." ”

In fact, Liu Qingyan didn't believe it. But it doesn't work if you don't.

Princess Baili Ruocheng smiled: "Okay, you have to have a limit to slapping horses." ”

Liu Qingyan smiled and didn't say any more. And Princess Baili Ruocheng said with emotion: "My father said that he would marry me to the prince of Fanbang, and I was reluctant to go, but my father seemed to be very firm. He told me to think more about the country and the people. But I've never met that man, how can I marry him with peace of mind? What if he treats me badly, what if I'm bullied there? ”

"Your Highness the Princess?" didn't expect Princess Baili Ruocheng to say this to her, Liu Qingyan was a little surprised.

Princess Baili Ruocheng smiled: "That's why I said, I envy you, Lord Yin of Jingfu." Even if you don't marry Lu Siguan, you are still an official, you can support yourself, you have the ability. But what about me? I can't help it. ”

Liu Qingyan frowned: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you also have to know that I can do such a thing by myself." When I was left in the snow and was about to freeze to death, Princess, you probably didn't know it, did you? ”

Baili Ruocheng stared at her: "You...... Once upon a time to be thrown on the snow and freeze to death? ”

"Yes," Liu Qingyan said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, you don't know, maybe you will envy the lives of ordinary people, but you must know that ordinary people also have the suffering of ordinary people, and they also envy you, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing all their lives." ”

Baili Ruocheng smiled, picked up the wine glass in his hand, raised his neck and drank it all.

Liu Qingyan intuitively felt that there was a very strange and hot gaze that kept falling on her, and she couldn't help but feel a little flustered. Liu Qingyan followed that gaze, and sure enough, she was facing Nangong Hui's eyes.

It seems that she hates herself whenever and wherever she is, Liu Qingyan thought with some sadness, what kind of evil did she create? Did she demolish the ancestral grave of Nangong Hui's family in her last life......

"Lord Yin of Jingfu, don't you drink?" Baili Ruocheng suddenly asked.

"I don't drink much," Liu Qingyan looked at Baili Ruocheng and sighed, "But princess, you should drink a few less, look, you seem to be already drunk." ”

Baili Ruocheng waved his hand: "I'm not drunk, no!" ”

As she spoke, she picked up the flask, put it to her lips and poured it vigorously, but she couldn't pour it. She frowned, looked at Liu Qingyan, and asked with a smile: "Master Yin of Jingfu, I don't think you seem to drink, why don't you give me your wine?" I haven't had enough yet. ”

It seems that this Baili Ruocheng doesn't want to marry Fanbang, and this hunting conference may be the last time she spends in her hometown. She was borrowing wine to drown her sorrows.

Liu Qingyan sighed, feeling a little sympathetic to this princess, so she handed over her wine jug: "Okay, Your Royal Highness the Princess, here you go." ”

"Thank you." Baili Ruocheng took the wine jug with a smile, leaned into Liu Qingyan's ear again, and said very softly: "Then, Lord Yin of Jingfu, don't treat me like you treat my sister Yunrou." ”

Liu Qingyan was stunned, but Baili Ruocheng had already sat down and was smiling at her.

She...... Know the things about Baili Yunrou? How did she know? This made Liu Qingyan a little nervous, and she didn't know what to do.

Baili Ruocheng smiled: "It's okay, many things, we just keep them as a secret in our hearts." It's like the eldest lady of the Nangong family over there, who was originally going to be my imperial sister-in-law, but now she must have a lot of secrets hidden in her heart, I really hope that Lord Yin of Jingfu can find it. ”

After speaking, she raised the flask and took a big sip directly at the spout.

Liu Qingyan looked at this princess who seemed to have seen through everything with a complicated expression, and she didn't know what to do.

Baili Ruocheng drank all the liquor, put down the wine jug, wiped the corners of his mouth, and his cheeks were slightly red. As soon as she smiled at Liu Qingyan, she coughed violently, and blood spilled from the corners of her mouth.

Baili Ruocheng fell, and when he fell to the ground, there was a strange smile on his face.

The lady next to her began to shout: "Dead! ”

"Princess Ruocheng is dead!"
