Lan Yi laughed calmly, raised his hand around his neck, and said quite crookedly: "Okay, don't say thank you." ”

The emotions brought by the nightmare quickly dissipated in the following sleep, and after waking up the next day, Lan Yi almost forgot the fear of running from nowhere in the night, and had breakfast with Wei Changjue with a smile on his face, and then happily returned to bed and fell asleep.

People say that the palace of King Yu of Qi is the residence of the real prince, and he is rich and prosperous, and he is quite favored, but he doesn't know that this palace of Prince Gong, who has always been disliked, has a more comfortable life than anyone else.

This kind of time often flies very quickly, and by the time Lan Yi comes back to his senses, the matter of the royal hunt is already in sight.

It took three or four days to pack up, because this time the queen mother finally raised her body better, and she would also travel with the car, Lanyi also asked people to buy some pills and send them to the palace water chestnut in case of emergency. There are also some warm clothes for the night, and they have brought a few more clothes, so they are prepared, and there are not a lot of big bags and small bags brought by Prince Gong's Mansion, but Ning Fu has already inquired that Mu Hesheng has more concubines there, and he carries more things, and Prince Gong's Mansion and Yu Wang's Mansion are just a big thing.

The carriages and horses did not travel quickly, and the emperor wanted everyone to see the majesty of the heavenly family, so he deliberately slowed down, and when he arrived at the Qiansong enclosure, it was already dusk.

Today must no longer hunt, the emperor means, there is no need to gather together for dinner, all have a good rest, and the next day to hunt with vigor.

The imperial order was conveyed everywhere, Lan Yi breathed a sigh of relief, she rarely sat in such a long carriage and went out of such a long door, especially after walking a stone road, she was going to be torn apart, she just wanted to rest. So when the washing guard Chang Jue was tired of coming over, she said with disgust: "I can't toss anything today, and I live in the tent, and I won't have a face tomorrow if I make any noise." ”

Wei Changjue was aggrieved, "Lan Yi, you are getting more and more fierce, I haven't done much, I just think it's a novelty to sleep with you here, and I want to get close to you, so you just say me with a face." ”

Lan Yi was also aggrieved, "Changjue, I never found you to be so good at beating a rake before. When we first met, you were like someone who came out of an ink painting, and now, you love to play tricks. ”

Wei Changjue smiled and kissed her, "I want to play Laipi in front of you, and only in front of you." ”

The man was angry, Lan Yi really couldn't resist, and then the two of them tossed for a while, although the affection was strong, they didn't do Zhou Gong's gift, and at the end they hugged one place and fell asleep, which was strangely satisfying.

On the second day, Lan Yi wanted to go to the queen to serve, and couldn't get up early in the morning as usual, yawning and having breakfast with Wei Changjue, he quickly packed up and went to the queen's tent.

Lan Yi didn't expect that it might be that she felt new when she left the palace, the concubines in the harem all got up early, and when she arrived, she had already asked for peace, and she was a little embarrassed for a while, so she specially accused herself of being late, and asked the queen mother to forgive her.

The queen didn't care about this, and said, "You waited for Chang Jue to have breakfast before coming over, it's okay." ”

Others won't say much about the affairs between other people's mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, but Concubine Ying just doesn't make people comfortable, and said with a smile: "The queen is really tolerant and generous, you must know that before the concubines came, the concubines and concubines in King Yu's mansion had already gone to the tent to ask for peace." If the concubine's daughter-in-law does not remember the time and mistakes the rules, the concubine must be reprimanded. ”

The queen glanced at her and said lightly: "It's all my own family, and it's also a distraction when I come out to hunt, so I don't punish or not." Fortunately, Lan Yi is not your daughter-in-law, otherwise both sides will be tired. ”

Concubine Ying didn't care about this soft nail, and said: "Lan Yi is not the daughter-in-law of the concubine, Lan Yi's sister is, fortunately, Miaoqing is a person who abides by the rules, otherwise the concubine will not allow her." ”

"That's your business. Lan Yiji hangs on her husband, and here in this palace, she has to be praised. The queen beckoned to Lan Yi, "Good boy, come here, pinch the shoulders of this palace here, it is inevitable that it will be a little sour after sitting for a long time." ”

Lan Yi got the steps, quickly got up and walked to the queen's side, kneading her with her heart, and after a while, the queen showed a comfortable smile and said, "Sure enough, you are still the most suitable for the heart of this palace." ”

Lan Yi is very grateful, this is tantamount to warning Concubine Ying not to always embarrass her, although the queen does not have deep feelings for herself, doing these things is mostly out of maintaining Wei Changjue's dignity, but treating her well is treating her well, and it really doesn't matter what the reason for this kindness is.

Concubine Ying sneered secretly, looked at the scene of her mother's kindness and filial piety above, and said coldly, "The concubine saw that there were many daughters of school-age officials who came over this time, does the queen have any plans to pick a side concubine for Changjue?" ”

The queen was a little moved when she heard this, these things were not handled by her, and she was about to find an opportunity to find out, so she asked, "Who are the girls?" and suddenly remembered Wei Changjue's extremely serious words before.

“…… Especially the matter of the concubine and the concubine, if someone comes to the queen mother to talk, don't let go, now the son and Lan Yi are of the same heart, if there is an elbow to the outside woman, there will be chaos in King Gong's mansion. ”

The sobering voice knocked in her heart, and the queen seemed to see her son's serious face, for fear that she would drag her feet when the time came, and for a while she didn't hear Ying Guifei deliberately say that this girl was beautiful and that the girl was well-behaved, and finally made up her mind to interrupt her directly, saying: "This palace doesn't care about their juniors, this daughter-in-law of this palace is sensible, and when she needs to take a concubine, she will naturally not shirk it, if the concubine likes it, just pick a few more for Changyuan Changze." ”

Concubine Ying was talking about the truth, and thought that the queen had been moved, but she didn't think that the other party seemed to have an extra brain, and she didn't block their daughter-in-law at all, so she had no other way for a while, so she got up and saluted, and said bluntly: "In this case, the concubine will retire first to choose." The daughters-in-law of the concubines are tolerant and generous, and they will never refuse to agree to such a good thing. ”

As soon as she left, the other concubines gradually dispersed, only the mother and concubine of the emperor's eldest son Wei Changqi, and the mother of the ninth emperor Wei Changshu's concubine Ke remained here, these two mothers have always been friendly with the queen, this time the children are hunting outside, and they are naturally ready to follow the queen to watch.

After those people were out of the tent, the queen asked Lan Yi to stop and said: "Good boy, rest for a while, the concubine has always liked to find faults, in fact, here in this palace, there has never been a shortage of people to serve, and you don't need to come early in the morning to serve, taking care of Changjue is a big deal." What did you use for breakfast today? ”

Lan Yi said, it was nothing more than some coarse grains, and said: "It's all good things, Erchen thinks, I'll ride a horse later, eat these won't be blocked in the stomach, and the queen mother can rest assured." ”

The queen was very satisfied, and said to Concubine He with a smile: "This palace doesn't like to set any rules, and this daughter-in-law, this palace also likes it in my heart, Concubine Ying blindly thinks about spreading branches and leaves, and doesn't care about the thoughts of juniors, this palace looks at it, it is not necessarily a good thing." ”

Concubine He hurriedly echoed and said: "No, I heard Changqi say, this hunt, the most important thing is to promote our Dashun national prestige, and to choose a wife for the five princes, it is just a happy thing to add to the icing on the cake, the concubine always wants to take this opportunity to add people to the palace of King Yu of Qi, and she is not afraid that the emperor will not like it." ”

"How could the emperor not like her." The queen smiled faintly, stretched out her hand, and the water chestnut next to her hurriedly went over to help her up, Lan Yi also had the foresight to see it, rushed over and helped the other side, only to hear the emperor follow-up, "Of course, the long disagreement is angry, and the concubine's Xiaojiu is also likable, and you are also quite valued in front of the emperor." ”

The queen got up, and the concubines didn't dare to sit anymore, so they all stood up and said to the concubine: "Changqi is just honest and honest, in terms of intelligence, where can he be as good as your Changjue." ”

Concubine Ke's small face was very beautiful, and after listening to the words just now, her face was a little gloomy, and she only cautiously agreed: "What Concubine Niangniang said is that the concubine's Changshu is just taking advantage of her young age, and she can also be coquettish in front of the emperor, in fact, she is far worse than her brothers in studying, riding and shooting, but fortunately, the concubine also listened to the emperor and said that Changshu is the youngest prince, and he doesn't have to do anything." ”

"Changshu is not as unbearable as you say, and there will be a happy day for you in the future." The queen smiled and said, "Counting the time, let's go outside and see how energetic our children are today." ”

As the name suggests, the thousand pine paddock is planted with green pines, there are often gusts of wind here, blowing the leaves like needles, you can roll up the pine waves, and the open space of the paddock is already full of people, in addition to the warriors of Dashun, that is, the prince and the young prince and grandson, the banner next to them is unfurled, and they are more heroic.

Lan Yi was among the crowd, and he saw Wei Changjue at a glance, he and his brothers were standing together, the Nine Emperor Prince Wei Changshu was closest to him, and he was very serious about something, Wei Changjue also listened carefully, and answered a sentence or two from time to time.

When the queen arrived, everyone had to salute, and after the salute was over, the queen was just about to take her seat, and Emperor Wei Yongcang also strode over.

After the emperor took his seat, he first asked how the queen was in health today, although the queen's face could not hide the weakness, but still smiled and said: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, the concubine felt okay when she got up early today, probably because she saw the children so energetic, and the concubine was also in good spirits." ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, no matter how much he likes Concubine Ying, on this kind of occasion, it also needs a noble girl from everyone to support it, the queen couldn't come over once last time, and this time she showed due decency, which is very much in line with him. Thinking of this, I turned around again, and looked at the talents below, the princes were all tall, and even when I saw Wei Changjue, it was much more pleasing to the eye.

After some words, the emperor cleared his throat and looked at his sons, "I will go with you today to see if you have grown after almost a year." In this way, let's also set a lottery, and the one who hunts the most among the princes will be rewarded with his divine arm bow. ”

As soon as these words came out, the princes were excited, this divine arm bow, of course, was not the bow and arrow used by Yue Fei in the rumors, it was just an imitation, but it could be collected by the emperor, which means that it is not much different from the original. This bow is the body, the sandalwood is the bow, it is said that it can shoot three hundred steps so far, the most important thing is that when the emperor was young, he used this bow to win the first place in hunting in front of his father many times, so it is very important to value, the significance of the existence of this bow, far greater than whether the material is good or not. King Qi and King Yu are already gearing up, full of desire to fight for this glory.

Wei Changjue didn't care, anyway, this kind of good thing wouldn't be his turn, so simply going through the motions and watching their brothers fight by themselves was his way of survival.

Seeing that the emperor got up and walked into the crowd, everyone let out cheers, and Wei Changshu's crisp voice was particularly clear in the cheers, "Father, if the retainer hits the rabbit, will you award the retainer a snow-white horse?" ”

The emperor smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You are only ten years old, and you are not afraid of falling on a big horse?" ”

Wei Changshu said loudly: "Back to my father's words, the son wants to take the mother concubine to ride a horse, but when he is young, the son and the mother can't sit down." ”

At the mention of concubines, the emperor seemed to be a little unhappy, but it was only a matter of a moment, and he still said: "You are a filial child, so let's do it, if you can hunt five rabbits, I will take you back to a snow-white horse, how about it?" ”

Wei Changshu thought about it, this is not bad, when he is older, there will always be a chance to take his mother on a horse, so he clenched his little fist and happily responded, "Okay, Erchen must do his best!" ”

Lan Yi was beside the queen, looking at her with a sad face, so she asked in a low voice, "Is the queen mother worried about Changjue?" ”

The queen bowed her head and said in a low voice: "If he is top-notch, people will be jealous of him, and maybe they will make up some dirty water to pour on him, but if he doesn't come out, some people will say that he is useless, in short, what to do is not right." ”

Lan Yi was also worried, so he could only try to think about the benefits, "Chang Jue is smart, I believe he can handle these things." ”

But neither of them expected that Wei Changjue didn't need to do anything at all, and not long after the hunting activity began, a big disaster occurred.

Since the hunt was actually a race, and the number had to be counted at the end, the arrows used by each prince were engraved with small letters to make it easier to tell who the prey belonged to. As a result, such an arrow, from some direction, suddenly shot straight at the emperor.

There were many guards around the emperor, and when they saw the arrows rushing forward, they all shouted to escort them, they were very good, and their swords came out, and the arrows fell directly in mid-air, and the emperor was not shocked, but there was a faint anger, and motioned for them to present the arrows.

I took it in my hand and looked at it carefully, and the tail of the arrow was engraved with a small "three".

The third prince, Wei Changjue.

The emperor had no intention of hunting anymore, so he returned to the queen with a calm face, withdrew all the palace people, threw the arrow in front of her, and shouted in a low voice: "Look at the good son you raised!" ”
