Your Majesty, you are back! ”

The queen walked in the direction of the return of several people with the support of a group of people, with a faint trace of worry on her face.

"Well, I'm back." Qi Heng smiled faintly, his handsome and domineering face was full of wildness that looked at the world.

At this moment, he is undoubtedly arrogant and restrained, domineering and arrogant.

Not to mention the emperor, even the footsteps of the few people walking behind him were vigorous, and the whole person looked extraordinarily hearty.

"Your Majesty has gained a good result from this trip?" The queen couldn't help but ask as she looked at the appearance of several people.

"Well, I haven't come out for a long time, I didn't expect to find the feeling I had back then after taking the bow and getting on the horse, happy!"

"It's a pity that I'm getting older, I'm not as energetic as before, and I haven't been out for long before I'm tired. People, it's not okay not to accept the old! ”

"Your Majesty, what you said is not authentic. In the process of hunting, I don't know who was the first to shoot the prey. King Heshun behind him pretended to complain.

"Haha! You guys are not bad, you dare to compete with me for prey. ”

"Look at what Your Majesty said, if the old ministers don't do it again, I'm afraid they will have to be at the bottom, this is spread, where can the old minister's face be placed?"

"Strong words!" Qi Heng snorted deliberately.

"Hehe, Your Majesty! Just now we said that the deer that was shot will be divided into a bite of the old minister, and the old minister can remember it. ”

"You, the more you live, the more greedy you become, you know, I haven't forgotten."

"Then the old minister can rest assured."

After listening to the words of His Majesty and King Heshun, the queen couldn't help but show a faint smile.

His Majesty can talk to King Heshun like this, which means that he is in a good mood for this hunt and has a good harvest.

"Your Majesty, why didn't they come back with you, Prince?" After the emperor sat back in his place, the queen couldn't help asking.

"The prince and they are still hunting in the hunting ground, saying that they want to compete with the second prince of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom and come back later. It's young people after all, they are energetic, let them be. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, wipe your sweat."

Hearing what the emperor said, the queen nodded meekly, reached out and took the handkerchief from the hand of the maid next to her and handed it to Qi Heng.

"Hmm."

“……”

Listening to the various movements over there, Bai Jinli, a bystander, came to the conclusion that Emperor Fang Cai and Prince Mu of Heshun went out to hunt together, and the emperor was the first to shoot his prey.

The prey was a deer, and then they rode on horseback and galloped through the hunting grounds, and returned from hunting a number of animals.

In the end, it was because they were old and their physical strength was not as good as that of the prince and other young people, so they came back early.

Among the few people who came back, His Majesty hunted the most prey, followed by King Heshun, and Prince Mu even more second.

The rest of the people are still in the hunting grounds, and the hunting competition is not over yet.

After listening to all kinds of flattering sounds, Bai Jinli felt bored.

She thought that hunting would be very interesting and fun to watch, but she came here and sat here, staring at the people next to her.

And I didn't see Lin Shenyuan during the whole process, and I didn't know where he, who was in charge of the security of the hunting ground, was at the moment.

I knew that this was the case, she said that she wouldn't come at all, was it not nice to lie at home eating and basking in the sun?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that under the order of the queen, several dancing girls came up with swords and began to perform.

To be honest, these people are really good-looking.

Each of them covered their faces with veils, their postures were graceful and graceful, and they also danced their swords in a good way.

After the sword dance was over, another court musician came up to play.

The atmosphere of the whole venue is not embarrassing, and there is even a sense of watching the open-air song and dance performance of a certain performance troupe.

As the performance progressed, the palace maids and eunuchs came out and brought the barbecued meat to the people present.

Each courtier's family did not receive much barbecue, and it was only a big fist, but these people still had to kowtow to His Majesty with great gratitude to show their gratitude.

After His Majesty allowed everyone to settle down, everyone got up and began to share the barbecue.

Bai Jinli was not interested after taking a bite.

It's not that she dislikes it, it's that the taste of this barbecue is too perfunctory, it is obvious that the whole prey is roasted on the fire, and then sprinkled with some fine salt on it, and other than that, there is nothing else, it is not delicious at all.

Forget it, she still continues to eat her snacks and eat her melon seeds to watch the show.

After a performance, Feng Tianhuang suddenly got up and said this after respectfully saluting His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, I heard that there is a performance in the Great Qi Kingdom, called Shadow Puppet, which is very interesting, I wonder if the Tilting Phoenix will have a chance to see it?"

"Oh? Shadow? Queen, do you know this? Qi Heng asked the queen beside him curiously.

"Your Majesty, the concubines don't know, could this shadow puppet be a new rare toy that has recently spread outside the palace?"

After the queen replied, she couldn't help but look at the people sitting below and asked, "Do you know shadow puppetry?" ”

"Shadow puppetry? What is that? I don't know? ”

"I heard someone outside, saying that it was very interesting, but I haven't seen it, I don't know what it is?"

"The news of this princess of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom is really well-informed, we don't know about this thing."

“……”

Those discussions fell into Bai Jinli's ears, and she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Feng Qianhuang, her eyes were slightly gloomy.

It had only been a few days since the shadow puppets appeared, and those people had only performed once in the alley not far from their house, and the rest of the time they practiced in a fixed place.

As the princess of the Vermilion Bird Country and a visitor to the Great Qi Kingdom, Feng Tinghuang should have been in the palace these days.

She was sure that the news about shadow puppetry hadn't yet reached the palace, and she didn't know how Feng Tianhuang knew about it.

Unless, she or her people had seen a shadow puppet show before entering the palace, and they would be so interested in it.

Even so, there's no need to mention it on such an occasion, right? I don't understand.

"Where did the princess get her news about shadow puppetry?" Qi Heng coughed low after hearing those discussions, and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, when I was heading from the post house to the palace, I overheard someone mention that the Journey to the West performed with that shadow puppet was extraordinarily good-looking.

Tilting Huang is from the Vermilion Bird Country, my Vermilion Bird Country is not good at these things, at first glance I heard that this thing is very novel, so the Tilt Phoenix especially wants to see it, if there is any offense, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. ”

"I see. Since the princess was curious, I sent someone to the capital to inquire about it, and invited the person who performed the shadow puppet to let the princess have a long insight. Qi Heng spoke.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Someone, go to the capital to investigate this matter quickly." After Qi Heng finished ordering, someone immediately nodded and prepared to retreat.

It was at this time that I saw Zhao Luo's figure suddenly appear and kneel down in front of His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, the grass people are Zhao Yanhong's son Zhao ended, and there is something to report."

"Oh? Are you Zhao Luo? What's the matter? Qi Heng looked at Zhao curiously.

The Zhao family has a gentleman Zhao Luo, and everyone in the capital knows this news, even His Majesty is no exception.

At first glance, when he heard Zhao Luo's appearance, Qi Heng was really stunned for a moment.

"Back to Your Majesty, the shadow puppet mentioned by Princess Fang Cai is a plaything that the grass people and their friends have studied together, since Your Majesty asked, the grass people don't dare to hide it, and I beg Your Majesty to allow the grass people to go back to the capital and bring the people who perform shadow puppetry."

"Oh? You tossed this shadow puppet out? It makes me curious, I'm right, let's go. ”

"Yes." Zhao Luo nodded and retreated.

Seeing that Zhao Luo, a gentleman on weekdays, actually brushed his face in front of His Majesty at this moment, which successfully aroused His Majesty's curiosity, and many young talents present cast a look at him or jealousy.

If the shadow puppet is really good, and can be loved by His Majesty and the princess, I'm afraid that this Zhao will be praised by His Majesty, right?

Thinking of this possibility, all the young people here have different feelings.

Zhang Zeyang, who was sitting far away from His Majesty, couldn't help but squint his eyes, and a trace of calculation quickly flashed in his eyes.

Just him? Zhao still wants to turn over?

Oh, impossible.

He has been laying out the game for so long, just waiting for an opportunity to kill Zhao with one blow.

Since this Zhao is so anxious now, why don't he take this opportunity to completely trample the Zhao family and the Liu family into the dirt in front of His Majesty.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zeyang quietly withdrew with a cool smile on the corner of his lips.

After Zhao left at the end of the curtain, the show performance also came to an end temporarily.

According to the hunting rules of previous years, His Majesty first waited for the royal family to go out hunting, and when they returned at the specified time, they would divide the winners and losers, and then rest after receiving His Majesty's reward.

Next, other young courtiers or courtiers' children who came to the hunting ground were divided into groups of five, and the hunting competition was conducted in groups on time.

After their competition, the final round was all the women who came to the hunting ground.

But any woman who is willing to go to the hunting ground can go and try hunting, and if she catches the prey, she will be rewarded.

However, judging from the experience of previous years, by the time of the final round, there were not many women participating in the hunting competition.

And the more dangerous prey was almost killed in the first two rounds.

The women participating in the hunt only walked around the hunting grounds, and it was impossible to go deep into the depths of the hunting grounds, where the dangers were unknown.

This year, due to the visit of the envoys of the Suzaku Kingdom, they were also added to the hunting competition, and this competition has made some small changes compared to the previous ones.

Bai Jinli was thinking about what good programs to watch next, when she heard a voice not far away.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the crown prince, they are back!"

"Well, they had a good time, but they didn't know who the best performer on the hunt would be." Qi Heng muttered with some expectation.

"Your Majesty will see in a moment." The queen chuckled.

"Hmm."

While the surrounding chatter and gambling continued, I saw several tall and handsome men with different styles and armor walking forward.
