Chapter 19: Spring Dawn (4)
Qianyan has been going out to hunt some small game for the past two days, and the better ones have been handed over to it, and the rest of Qianyan has kept it and roasted it to eat.
Shu Yao has also been with him, watching the cub roasting rabbit meat, his mind has drifted away, this assassination, the seventh prince successfully avoided suspicion. I don't know if I have been on the line with the Seven Princes this time, the system has been like a crash recently, and there has been no response, Shu Yao is bored, so he has been following the cub to see if he can help him.
Yu Guang prostituted that the general Zhenguo who appeared before seemed to have walked over from that side, and looking at him, he walked straight towards the cub.
Qianyan chose this place to conduct barbecue, avoiding the eyes of many people, there are few people here, he was originally waiting for the Seventh Prince, but he waited for the general of Zhenguo.
General Zhenguo walked up to Qian Yan, and Qian Yan stood up and saluted him.
General Zhenguo said to him: "The old man happened to pass by here, and when he smelled the aroma here, he wanted to come and beg for meat." It's just that I didn't expect such fragrant meat to be roasted by you, I think it comes from the bandit that day, we meet here again today, I don't mind if the old man eats a few bites of your meat. β
After General Zhenguo said this, his eyes were fixed on the expression on Qian Yan's face, not missing a single bit. Qianyan returned without humility or arrogance: "I don't mind, if the general wants to eat, just sit down, it's just that Xiaosheng has simple things here, and I hope the general won't dislike it." β
General Zhenguo sat down: "The old man is here to thank the prince for his help in the assassination of the seventh prince." β
Qian Yan replied lightly: "The general said that he laughed, the Seventh Prince's injury was because of the assassin, and it has nothing to do with me." β
General Zhenguo was not annoyed, and he must have a little conviction in his heart: "That day, the prince didn't help the Seventh Prince, why didn't he admit it today?" β
Qian Yan listened to the general's obviously changed tone, the movements in his hands never stopped, turned the barbecue over again, looked at it almost, cut a piece of meat and handed it to the general: "The general will wronged Xiaosheng at the end, Xiaosheng only occasionally hunts around the hunting ground, the seventh prince has not seen him on the day of the accident, and I hope the general will see it." β
General Zhenguo looked at the young man in front of him, neither humble nor arrogant, answered his question in an orderly manner, and extracted his suspicion from it, no one would doubt him, took the barbecue and ate it: "This meat, it's good!" β
Qianyan: "If the general thinks it's good, it's good." β
Shu Yao was confused as he watched from the sidelines, what kind of dumb riddle were they playing? It always felt like they were talking about something important, but he couldn't hear what it was, untilβ
System: 'Congratulations on completing Task Ten, gaining the appreciation of General Zhenguo, and earning eleven points. The current total score is sixty-one points. β
Shu Yao: ???! What's the situation?
Harm! In this way, I easily completed the task ten?! Well, she thought it would take a long time to finish, at least find a chance to show the cub things first, and it was actually done like this.
Shu Yao received the news almost unprepared, it was a surprise for her, the whole person was very happy, and suddenly felt that General Zhenguo was much more pleasing to the eye, although he still didn't give the cub a good look, but his heart had already accepted the cub.
After General Zhenguo finished eating the meat, he left, and the cub was left alone, no, and herself, two! Shu Yao completed the task, she was in a good mood and flew up, just now there were outsiders, she didn't dare to look for the cub, for fear of being seen, but now that the person is gone, Shu Yao is floating around the cub recklessly.
Qian Yan felt that the wind around him kept revolving around him, a faint smile appeared in his eyes, and he said softly, "Are you happy now?" β
Shu Yao tugged at his sleeve, well, I'm very happy now.
Qianyan smiled again: "Why are you so happy?" β
Shu Yao wanted to tell him that he was happy because he had completed the task, but if he said what the cub would think, no, he couldn't say.
After Qian Yan finished asking, she felt that the wind around her stopped, and understood that she was unwilling to tell him, and her heart was bitter but she couldn't show any slightest mistake, so she could only comfort her by herself: "It's okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, as long as you're happy." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, as if to touch her head, Shu Yao hurriedly floated over and let him touch himself.
Qianyan felt the touch on her hand with affection, but she couldn't be too much, just after touching it for a while, she withdrew her hand and put it on her lap, rubbing her fingers gently, recalling the touch just now.
The spring festival was carried out for ten days, in which the seventh prince and the ninth prince were injured and could not hunt, which gave the other princes of the family the opportunity to perform in front of the emperor, many of whom were praised by the emperor, and Qianyan has always kept hunting prey without attracting attention or giving others a chance to start.
At the final celebration banquet, Qianyan was arranged in the lower position, and those who were praised by the emperor were arranged at the top, Qianyan's gaze crossed most of the banquet venue, gently swept over the prince's seat, and finally returned to the table in front of him.
The Seventh Prince above also noticed Qianyan at the end, and thought of what his uncle said to him after he came back that day: "You need him for your great cause." β
Hearing his uncle say this, the Seventh Prince also affirmed the decision in his heart, but it is not suitable for contact now, it is best to have a proper time, so as not to attract the attention of others, and drank the tea in the cup, his leg was injured, and the imperial doctor made him unable to drink, so at today's banquet, he replaced wine with tea.
The rise of the emperor's drinking, raised a glass and invited everyone to drink, everyone stood up and drank a glass of wine, and then it was the necessary performance items for every banquet, Qianyan was not interested in these, but just did what a courtier should do.
Shu Yao was next to the cub, it was the first time she could participate in such a palace banquet, although these people were dwarfs, but it did not affect her enthusiasm for this kind of banquet at all.
Shu Yao was happy to see it, and Qianyan was also a little happier. The rich boy next to him saw that Qian Yan had a deep expression of hatred and bitterness when the banquet had just begun, and after such a while, now his eyebrows and eyes have been stretched, and his face is much softer than when he first came.
The emperor also praised them at the top, in fact, in his eyes, these people above are not as good as the son next to him, he once saw this son in the hunting ground, he can shoot the prey with an arrow, and every shot, but every time he shoots five prey, he no longer shoots, he also saw it by chance.
Thinking about it, he leaned slightly in the direction of Qianyan and said to him, "Brother Tai, hello!" I've seen you on the hunting grounds, do you remember me? β
Qian Yan turned around to look at him when he heard the sound, and Shu Yao also turned back to look at him, he was a fat man, this was Shu Yao's first impression. Qian Yan saw him smiling, and his body was about to leave his place to come to his side, Qian Yan frowned, dodged back without a trace, and said coldly: "Who are you?" β
The fat dun scratched his hair embarrassedly: "I am the son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, and my name is Wang Bing." Seeing Qianyan's brows furrowed deeply, Wang Bing hurriedly explained: "I don't mean anything else, I just think your archery skills are very powerful, I want to get to know you, my mind is relatively simple, I don't know how to tell you that I have no malicious intent." β
Qianyan didn't react yet, but Shu Yao shouldn't have laughed, it was the first time she heard someone say it so straightforwardly, cough, be calm.
