Chapter 40: Military Exercises
After eating some pastries and drinking medicine, Gu Xiwu quickly fell asleep unconsciously in the carriage.
After Mo Xuanyin arrived at Gu Che and Gu Ronghe to show off the bag on his waist, he hit the horse and returned to the side of Gu Xiwu's carriage, at this time, the convoy also began to move, and he followed closely and walked in the direction of the hunting ground in a hurry.
Speaking of the hunting grounds, he remembered what his subordinates had said to him.
The fact that Gu Miaoxuan was injured by a wild beast in the hunting ground was indeed not an accident, but man-made, but it was also concluded that it could not be Gu Xiwu's doing.
There are some key places, maybe when you get to the hunting grounds, you will slowly understand.
All he needed to do was keep her safe.
The convoy had been maintaining a steady pace, and the journey, which had only taken an hour, had been delayed until just before noon.
However, it is also for this reason that the banquet is held at noon, when the sun is at its strongest, and it happens to be the time when everyone is at their most energetic.
After getting out of the carriage, I didn't care how to clean up, so I hurried to the place of the banquet.
There were already many people sitting on the field, not only the official family, but also a lot of royal people, Gu Xiwu glanced at it slightly, and knew that whether it was the princess or the prince, they were all present.
I'm afraid that Gu Feng also took a fancy to this hunt, this was the first time such a huge event had been held since he took the throne.
In order to show the majesty of the royal family, but also to consolidate his position even more, and to deter those who have a heart, let everyone in the field know that he Gu Feng is now the head of a country.
Gu Xiwu this time, she just wanted to be a bystander, and treat both Gu Feng and Mu Chuan, with her current ability, it was completely insufficient.
It's just that when she caught a glimpse of a bright yellow figure out of the corner of her eye, her fists couldn't help but clench.
Gu Ye, the executioner who killed her own brother Gu Luo with his own hands, is now the eldest prince, this bright yellow body is even pierced in her eyes, and the pain extends to her heart, making her almost out of breath.
Perhaps the emotions carried in it were too strong, so that Gu Ye noticed her gaze, Gu Xiwu closed his eyes fiercely a moment before he suddenly looked over, his body shook, and fell crookedly on Cai Yin's body.
Gu Ye's perception has always been keen, and the gaze with strong hatred is clearly seen from this reverse, but when you look at the past, it is all a natural appearance.
A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but Gu Ye had no intention of staying, so he raised his feet and walked towards the empty position under the dragon chair, and sat down in the place that belonged to him.
"Miss, but it's sunburning?" Cai Yin looked at Gu Xiwu who fell on her with some concern, her body was just a little better, but there could be no more accidents.
"It's okay, my eyes were flashed by the light just now, and I feel a little dizzy for a while, just take a break." Gu Xiwu waited until he left with a knife, and waited for a while before slowly sitting up straight.
Only then did she notice that not only Cai Yin, but also the Fang clan and the others on the side were also looking at her with worried expressions.
"Second Miss, but you're not feeling well?" Fang Clan was next to Gu Xiwu and asked softly.
"It's really okay, I know my body, if I really feel uncomfortable, I won't come to this hunting ground today."
Fang Shi looked at Gu Xiwu's face, there was really no reluctant look, and her face looked quite ruddy, so she relaxed, this was the first time she came out with the prince, such a big scene, it looked very weak.
Gu Xiwu saw her flustered, shook her hand gently, and gave Fang Shi an encouraging look, "Just relax, besides, there is still Brother Yu and father outside, and the third lady is not more nervous." ”
Fang knew that she was comforting her, and he also felt a little comforted.
This scene fell in the eyes of Gu Rongzhi, who was hanging on the side, just pursed his lips slightly, and muttered with dissatisfaction: "Hey, I don't look at what I am, I followed out shamelessly!" ”
Although he has not been back to the Xiangwang Mansion during this time, and he doesn't know what happened in the mansion, the woman who followed his father was replaced by the one in front of him, which made him feel a hint of threat.
The words he said were ruthless, and he spent a lot of time messing around outside, and the words he learned came in handy.
But before he could speak, he was hit the back of the head.
"Which turtle son dares to hit Ben......" Gu Rongzhi turned his head with an angry face, and after seeing clearly who was standing behind him, he suddenly shut up, "Father, father." ”
"Give me the appearance of a prince of the palace, look at what you look like, sitting or not, looking like a dog...... Go back and clean up for you! If Gu Che hadn't been worried about this occasion, he would have taken care of this little son a long time ago!
I don't know if it's his species, fooling around outside all day long, if he hadn't personally sent someone to find it, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to find it!
When he sat on the main seat, Gu Ronghe on the side also sat beside Gu Che, and quietly winked at Gu Xiwu, which made her laugh, and her heart was a little more relaxed.
This Gu Rongzhi is a scoundrel, not worth her trouble, the son of the Lin family has been abolished.
Gu Xiwu returned her attention to the field, at this time, there were almost no empty seats, and the hour was almost up, so Gu Feng didn't arrive.
"The emperor has arrived!" As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, the sharp voice that belonged to the eunuch suddenly sounded.
"Weichen see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
"The people's daughters/courtiers see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
"See my father, long live my father, long live my father!"
This voice resounded almost throughout the entire hunting ground, and Gu Feng slowly made it to the dragon chair in the voice of everyone.
"Everyone, sit down!"
A thick voice full of air sounded, and another sound of gratitude sounded, and everyone slowly got up and sat down in their seats.
The squire of the military department stepped forward at the right time, "Weichen has properly arranged everything, just waiting for the emperor's order!" ”
"Good! Let's get started! "Gu Feng is very satisfied with today's battle, this soldier is really as he said, not bad at all to King Ping.
Receiving the emperor's appreciative eyes, the soldier's momentum was even stronger, and he raised his hand and slapped it twice, and suddenly a burst of shouts sounded from both sides of the hunting ground.
It aroused everyone's curiosity, and even Gu Feng, who was seated, was also interested.
I saw two soldiers in armor running out, all holding spears in their hands, and the sound of drums also sounded at this time, and in a rush of drums, the soldiers stood in an orderly position.
"Hah!"
The moment the drum stopped, the momentum suddenly emerged, holding the spear, as if he was really on the battlefield, it was waved so chaotically and neatly, and as the drum sounded, the soldiers would shout in unison.
Most of the people present looked at it with novelty, and some were infected by this formation, and cheered loudly.
There were only Mo Xuanyin, Mu Chuan, and Gu Xiwu on the field, looking at this scene, not only did they not feel the slightest feeling, but they only felt sarcasm.
Instead of playing tricks here, it is better to practice more, Gu Xiwu retracted his gaze, had no desire to look further, and was about to reach out to take the tea cup on the side, but was suddenly pushed from behind.
The strength of the envoy was not great, Gu Xiwu stabilized his body in time, and before he came back to his senses, Cai Yin had already shouted the culprit again.
"You girl can't walk well, if you knock our young lady out of something, I want you to look good!" Cai Yin's voice was a little loud, but under the cover of the shouts on the field, it was a little small.
"Caiyin, I'm fine, forget it!" Gu Xiwu turned her head and found that it was a little girl, who was counted down by Cai Yin, and she was already in tears, crying silently, plainly annoying.
Gu Xiwu frowned, there was more than one person around, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he said, "Even if you're not careful, forget it, Caiyin, come back!" ”
Cai Yin reluctantly walked back, and before leaving, she glared at the little maid fiercely, "My young lady has a good heart, don't thank my young lady soon!" ”
The little girl seemed to be scared enough, and couldn't help but thank her with a thick cry, "Thank you, Miss, thank you!" ”
Gu Xiwu looked at the little maid who was a little deserted and fled, and always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it for a while.
I couldn't see why, so I simply withdrew my gaze and continued to watch the performance on the field bored.
As everyone knows, in the upper seat not far away, there is a pair of eyes that are closely watching her every move here, and when her attention is completely on the field, the strength of rubbing the handkerchief in her hand is sent.
Unexpectedly, a pair of big hands on the side held her, so frightened that she couldn't help but withdraw her hand, and then suddenly realized something, forcibly suppressed this impulse, and showed a shy smile to the person next to her.
"But nervous? I told you early in the morning, if you feel that you can't hold on, you don't need to come along. The distress on Makikawa's face was obvious.
"But the concubine still wants to be with the prince, and if she can't see the prince's demeanor, it will make the concubine regretful. Besides, the prince is in the concubine, and he must protect the concubine from harm! ”
Gu Miaoxuan silently wiped the wetness from his hands, and looked like he relied on Mu Chuan wholeheartedly, which made him even more touched.
Gently tucking her messy hair behind her ears, Makikawa promised: "The princess has said so, this king will definitely do it!" ”
A series of actions of the two fell in the eyes of those who cared, each with different ideas, jealousy, envy, and ...... Satirize!
Gu Xiwu retracted her gaze without a trace, she was just looking for Mo Xuanyin's figure, and just now she found that she didn't seem to have seen him all along.
But who knows, I saw such a picture of a concubine. I couldn't help but laugh a little sarcastically, this Mu Chuan, but she really looked affectionate towards everyone, at the beginning, wasn't she deceived by such a disguised face?
