Chapter 337: Hunting Ground Battle
"This is the four princes who are full of achievements in the hunting ground every year, and it is said that he can shoot down many rare prey with a single shot."
"Everyone, this king is a step late, please forgive me!" The fourth prince spoke, and after speaking, he looked at the seventh prince, as if he was provoking.
Not to be outdone, the Seven Princes also stared at the Four Princes for a long time before they stopped the "competition".
Today is a lively scene, and the families of dignitaries and nobles have also come a lot, even Sheng Zi'an, who rarely goes out of the house, also went out of the house with the prince to breathe, and even the Qi family also came to join in the fun.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the emperor ordered to set off.
On the entire special road, the mighty men and horses are heading towards the hunting ground.
Soon arrived at the hunting ground, only to see that the inside and outside of the field, vast and magnificent, heroic and majestic, always showing the royal demeanor.
After a moment of admiration, the crowd began to settle down.
In their respective tents, they all talked with freshness and curiosity, discussing everything in the hunting grounds.
In the tent of the prince and his wife, the two are frolicking and playing.
"Lord Shizi, tomorrow you have to show your good skills and let the emperor see your heroic appearance." Sheng Zi'an said with a smile.
"Madame is questioning her ability to be a husband? Madame can see tomorrow, let the husband show a good hand to the wife, and set the lady to hunt a good thing! With that, he took Sheng Zi'an into his arms and looked doting.
Sheng Zi'an said lightly: "That son of the world must keep his promise!" After saying that, he smiled shyly.
In the evening, the lights outside the tent were bright, and it turned out to be a bonfire party.
The ministers present sat down one after another, and under the bonfire, everyone began to relax, and a group of musicians began to play music again, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.
The emperor said: "This year's hunting ground is here, it is better for me to be the master tomorrow, let the ministers participating in the hunt have a competition, and the one with the most prey will be rewarded with Western sweat and blood, and let me see the strength of the ministers and the princes!"
The ministers present responded one after another, and the seventh prince and the fourth prince also stared at each other after hearing the sound, and only replied "yes" after a while.
The Seven Princes and the Four Princes fought openly and secretly, and everyone seemed to be watching the excitement.
Qi Xuan and Sheng Qingan were also on the side, and the Qi family had already stood in line with the Seven Princes, but on the bright side, the battle between the two princes was not mixed with the Qi family.
Sheng Qing'an, but she always stared at Sheng Zi'an at the party, seeing that the prince poured food and wine for Sheng Zi'an, the two looked at each other and smiled from time to time, she was very jealous in her heart. Looking at Qi Xuan, who disliked each other beside him, Sheng Qingan was even more annoyed with Sheng Zi'an. I think that when I was in the Sheng family, I shouldn't have been so kind to her.
Qi Xuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Sheng Qing'an's direct gaze over there: "Sheng Qing'an, I advise you not to be a jealous woman all day long, don't think about that kind of life for the rest of your life!"
Sheng Qingan replied to Qi Xuan: "That's better than you!"
Qi Xuan said fiercely: "You jealous woman!" In the midst of their respective fights, the banquet music continued.
It was getting late, and the banquet was drawing to a close.
Everyone began to get a little drunk after the staggering, so they went back to their tents.
At night on the outskirts of the city, the wind hunts, the autumn wind returns to the roots, and the moonlight is bright.
On the second day, the weather was fine, and everyone gathered in front of the emperor's tent, and the princes and ministers who participated in the hunting competition followed the emperor on horseback, while the civil officials and their families watched the fierce competition on the viewing platform.
As soon as the guns rang out in the hunting ground, the birds and beasts in the hunting ground were frightened and rushed around, and everyone began to compete.
As he rode his horse, he saw a frightened hare fleeing under a hundred-year-old tree in front of him, and thought of the promise he had made to his wife yesterday.
This prey on the run is the most difficult to shoot, but it is precisely in this way that the skills of the shooter are tested and the value of hunting is highlighted.
The prince saw the opportunity, opened his bow and released the arrow, the force was accurate, and the hare that was fleeing was shot with a blow. The prince ordered someone to go and retrieve the results of the hunt, thinking that his wife would be very happy!
In the following time, Shizi also caught a lot of live elk and wild roe deer, and returned to the viewing platform with satisfaction.
In the hunting ground where birds and beasts are scurrying, the Seven Princes are still chasing a fleeing wild boar on horseback, and the wild boar has nowhere to hide under the pursuit of the Seven Princes.
Seeing that the Seven Princes wanted to shoot a wild boar, the Four Princes shot the wild boar with an arrow this time, blatantly snatching the prey of the Seventh Prince.
Although the fourth prince lost a little tiger, he made the seventh prince angry, which is worth it.
"Erxi, go and get the king's prey back!" The fourth prince shouted.
"Slow down, don't be too domineering with the four princes! This is the prey that this king likes first, and if you want to take it, this king will take it! The Seventh Prince said busily.
"Seventh brother, this wild boar is indeed the first thing you fancied, but it also depends on who takes the lead first! If you just want to but can't win the initiative, it's in vain! ”
"It's okay, a little wild boar, but a little beast who can't get on the table!" The Seventh Prince said fiercely.
"Don't be angry if the seventh brother loses the prey, there are still many prey waiting for the seventh brother here!" The Four Princes sneered.
The fourth prince grabbed the horse rope and turned to leave, leaving the seventh prince to roll his eyes fiercely in place.
The sun is setting and the day of hunting is coming to an end.
The prince and the ministers returned with a full load, looking at the results of their hunting, and wondering in their hearts who would be the biggest winner of the hunting competition.
"I see that all the princes and ministers have returned with a full load, and for the sake of fairness, let the hunters of the hunting grounds judge the winners according to your prey!"
After a short rest, the first winner of the hunting competition was decided.
A rugged hunter began to say that the hunter was a perennial hunter, knew everything well, and knew the difficulty of hunting different prey.
When he slowly moved in front of the Seven Princes, he saluted and said to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, I see that the giant pig caught by this prince is huge, and it is very difficult to catch it.
The emperor smiled heartily, "These seven princes really have the demeanor of the past, they are brave and decisive, and they should be given Western sweat and blood!" ”
The fourth prince had a frightened face, "Father, the sons and daughters are just lucky to catch this giant pig, and it is less than one-ten-thousandth of the father's back then!" Thank you for your father's reward for your sons! ”
"In the future, I hope that my son can have the same fighting spirit as today, go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and gallop on the battlefield!"
"The son must live up to his father's entrustment!"
Immediately, the emperor ordered that the hunting goods be shared as a dinner, and it was another night of bonfire, and the prince and the minister were enjoying the fruits comfortably at this moment after a day of running.
Everyone sat around the square tables around the campfire, the same scene as last night.
These seven princes are in the limelight today, and they are talking about today's affairs with the ministers on the side.
Unfortunately, the fourth prince was sitting on the other side of the seventh prince, and when he listened to the rhetoric, he felt unhappy.
The seventh prince raised his voice and mocked: "The fourth prince robbed the prey of this king, why, in the end, he didn't get any benefits?"
"Whether it's good or not has nothing to do with the Seventh Prince!" The fourth prince drank a glass of wine in a sullen voice.
"So next time, the fourth brother won't rob people and things at will, but he will be punished!" The Seventh Prince said proudly.
The fourth prince ignored him anymore.
Tonight is also a moonlit night in the suburbs, and the prince and his wife are chatting in the tent.
"Madam, today's husband caught a hare for his wife in the hunting ground, and specially let people stay until they return home, and we can share it with the two of us!" After speaking, he grabbed Sheng Zi'an's arm.
"Madam, this son is really tired today, Mrs. pinch her shoulders for the son!" Sheng Zi'an is as doting and partial to the prince as ever.
Sheng Zi'an smiled helplessly, thinking to himself, what should I do if the prince is spoiled, but his hand is forcefully pinched for the prince, afraid that the prince will be in a hurry.
In the tent next door, it was the noise between Qi Xuan and Sheng Qingan, which was just commonplace.
"Qi Xuan, let me tell you, I am pregnant with the flesh and blood of your Qi family, if you are so cruel to me, don't blame me for doing something vicious to your child!"
"Get out, don't talk about children all day long!"
Of course, Sheng Qingan knew that his bargaining chip in Qi Mansion was this child, and of course he would not be stupid enough to do anything to this child, but he was just angry!
The next day, the emperor led many princes and nobles back to the city, and a few days of tranquility followed.
After the day of the hunt, the days became calmer.
One day, sunny day. Sheng Qingan took advantage of the beauty of the heavens and took the maid to the pond in the outer courtyard of Qi Mansion to enjoy the large lotus flowers in full bloom.
A ray of golden sunlight shone on Sheng Qing'an's cheeks, time seemed to stand still at this moment, and even Sheng Qing'an, who had always been irritable, became calm.
Suddenly, Sheng Qingan felt a tightness in his stomach, a pain in his lower abdomen, and his feet became heavy, and he was slowly unable to move his feet......
"Linlang, hurry, hurry up and call someone, I seem to be going to, I'm going to give birth!"
Sheng Qing'an held on to the stone pillar by the pond viewing platform, and after a while, the maid Linglang called Qi Xuan, the old lady and a group of male family members.
Several men were sharp, and four or five people picked up Sheng Qing'an's head and feet and sent him to Sheng Qing'an's wing room to give birth.
The midwife also arrived in time, the man was stopped at the door, and the old lady, who was old, was also stopped at the door.
Qi Xuan spun around outside the door, becoming very anxious and anxious.
The old lady was chattering at the door, wondering whether it would be a boy or a girl.
In the house, the midwife said calmly: "Quick, madam, forcefully, take the slave's hand, forcefully, the hand has come out, hold ......"
After a while, the midwife said, "Quick, hand the scissors, cut the umbilical cord!"
"It's out, it's a boy!"
The maid in the room came out to speak, "Old lady, little marquis, young lady is born, it's a boy!" ”
The old lady was happy in her heart, she didn't burn so much incense in vain, and she could finally hold her grandson!
Qi Xuan hurriedly entered the room and saw the child in the midwife's hand, the infant child was so weak, I hope he will be healthy in the future, "This child's name is Kangkang!" ”
