122 Go to the hunting grounds
It was noon when I woke up, and the door was covered.
Xia Xiaoxiao was startled when she woke up, and then found that Beigong Yu had actually left!
She rubbed her body, which felt back pain from sleeping on her stomach all night, and called Qingyue in while twisting her head slightly,
"What about Beigong Yuren? When did you leave? ”
She bared her teeth uncomfortably, and her neck seemed to be a little sleepy.
"I went back to the Han Hall early in the morning, and I walked for about two or three hours."
Qingyue replied cautiously, for fear that Xia Xiaoxiao would still be worried about Beigong Yu asking her to beat her last night.
I didn't know that Xia Xiaoxiao didn't remember this at all when he came together, he got up suddenly, pulled his neck again, and blamed, "Why didn't you wake me up when he left for so long!" ”
Wake her up, so she can go to bed and make up for a good night's sleep, I don't know how uncomfortable she slept this night!
"Niangniang, it's not that the slave doesn't want to call you, it's that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered when he left, and he didn't let the slave and maid call you and talk about it."
Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and asked Qingyue again, "What else did you say?" ”
Qingyue fearfully repeated Beigong Yu's original words. "His Royal Highness also said that let Niangniang have a longer memory, and they will be punished with one hit and two punishments, if there is such a thing next time, Niangniang's legs that want to run, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it."
Xia Xiaoxiao's little face immediately became ugly, Beigong Yu obviously deliberately wanted to punish her, and eighty percent of them were unhappy in the court recently because of Beigong Pheasant's departure, which made her angry!
Look at this so-called Prince Yuehua, he is so stingy, Beigong Pheasant can't move away from him, so he looks for her soft persimmon to handle!
Dividing line
The autumn breeze arrives, and the leaves wither.
The wind blew off a few yellow leaves and slowly fell to the ground.
"Whew!"
A long arrow pierced the air and hit the target heavily, the red heart was dazzling, and the tail feather of the arrow trembled violently due to the excessive force.
"Second brother, look at it like this, this time in the hunting conference, you are the winner again."
Beigong was speechless, and after seeing that Beigong Yu hit the target with an arrow, he was not to be outdone and pulled the longbow in his hand away, and the arrow flew straight away, which was also shot in the red heart, but it was only hit the edge.
"It is said that my sister-in-law met my second brother at the hunting conference three years ago?"
Pingshun handed over another arrow, and Beigong Langyan glanced at Beigong Yu while drawing the bull's-eye.
"When did you become concerned about these things?"
Beigong Yu casually picked up another arrow, and almost shot out at the same time as Beigong Langyan, but in terms of strength, it was much heavier than Beigong Rongyan.
The two arrows were fired at the same time, but in the blink of an eye, they flew to the target with a muffled sound, and if the arrow hit a person or animal, I am afraid that if it does not die, it will be seriously injured.
Beigong Langyan pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "No, it's just that I heard that my sister-in-law seemed to upset you again a few days ago, so you punished her for kneeling all night?" ”
Beigong Yu turned his eyes to look at him, "It seems that what happened to my Chenxiao Palace, you know it all clearly?" ”
Beigong didn't refute it, his people gave him a lot of information, and continued, "I also heard that there were palace maids who saw you and your sister-in-law together during the day that day, and your appearance was enviable. He said tentatively.
Beigong Yu pursed his thin lips and did not answer, and the arrows on Ping Shuncheng were accurately shot into the bull's-eye by him one by one.
Not far away, a few other princes came to practice arrows at this time, and when they saw the two, they said hello one after another, and then walked to a place far away from the two of them to play by themselves, after all, they are all the sons of some concubines in the palace, and they usually don't do much, so they naturally can't raise their heads in front of Beigong Yu and others.
"What do you want to say?"
After the few imperial brothers who were not very familiar with themselves walked away, Beigong Yu's face did not change, he raised his bow and arrow in his hand, and he didn't send it for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
Beigong Langyan spread his hands out, also as a man, he naturally knew the reason why Beigong Yu punished Xia Xiaoxiao, but he felt that his second brother seemed to be a little too nervous about this, and said helplessly, "According to me, Xia Xiaoxiao is an infatuated master, for so many years, although she said that she wanted to leave, didn't she never leave?" Of course, this palace is not something she can leave if she wants to leave, but it must be your reason again, and now there is just one more Beigong pheasant, what do you have to worry about, second brother? Anyway, the person she fell in love with at first sight back then was you, not Beigong Pheasant. ”
Beigong Yu's hand holding the bow loosened slightly, and the sound of the long arrow cutting through the air was a little harsh.
This arrow unexpectedly hit the edge of the target, Beigong was stunned, and immediately shut up obediently and began to shoot arrows.
Beigong Yu didn't have any thoughts, threw the bow to Pingshun and turned to leave, his face was a little unpleasant.
The autumn outside the city walls is golden, and the palace is more depressed and desolate, showing significant solitude.
Beigong Langyan is right, Xia Xiaoxiao is an infatuated master, but what Beigong Rongyan doesn't know is that the person who makes Xia Xiaoxiao fall in love at a glance is not him at all, from the beginning, the person Xia Xiaoxiao likes in his heart has never been Beigong Pheasant!
Beigong Yu's hand was clenched tightly, he thought that Beigong Pheasant would return to the palace again, but he didn't expect that Beigong Pheasant would be involved with Xia Xiaoxiao again, and what he didn't expect was that even if Xia Xiaoxiao didn't know it three years later, she actually began to fall in love with Beigong Pheasant!
A few days later, the hunting tournament, which had been postponed until now due to state affairs, was held.
Since the defeat of the Yue Kingdom, there has been no movement on the side of the Nanming Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom, and the atmosphere above the court is a little less tense than usual, plus the princess of Changting has married to the Jin Kingdom, and at the same time represents the marriage of the two countries as the same ally, at this time, even if the Nanming Kingdom wants to do something, it has to think about it.
Gao Ganglin, this year the emperor has issued an order, and all the ministers of the imperial court, including all the royal children in the palace, must also go together.
It was only half a day from the palace to Gaoganglin, a large number of people were in a hurry, the guards on the two streets followed, all the men were on horseback, and the women rode if they knew how to ride, and those who could not take the carriage.
A group of people traveled, the emperor rode a horse and walked in the forefront, followed by Beigong Yu and Beigong Pheasant from these princes, followed by the ministers of the imperial court, the queen was a golden body, and the carriage was in front of Xia Xiaoxiao.
And Xia Xiaoxiao was staring at the horses outside with very envious eyes at this time, in fact, she wanted to ride a horse very much, not to mention whether she would or not, she didn't forget the wild horse that she rode Beigong Yu last time, and almost killed her.
Wei Yang rode a horse under her and lifted her curtain, "Niangniang, it's so boring to ride in the carriage, look at how good the autumn scenery is outside, it's stuffy to sit inside." ”
"No, I'm up early today, sleepy."
Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at the horse she was sitting safely, and was embarrassed to say what she didn't know.
Wei Yang shrugged his shoulders, sat down again, and gently kicked his legs on the horse's belly, and the horse walked forward and walked forward with Beigong Pheasant.
Although the emperor said that courtiers could also bring their families to come this year, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't expect Wei Yang to come. This woman who can't help but envy herself, she has the courage that Xia Xiaoxiao doesn't have, the skills that Xia Xiaoxiao wants to learn but can't learn, and she looks good, if she is a Beigong pheasant, she may fall in love with her.
But envy can sometimes turn into jealousy.
Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't help but open the curtain to see, Wei Yang followed Beigong Pheasant, the two seemed to be talking about something, Xia Xiaoxiao saw the happy smile on her face, and her brows twisted.
"Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"
The horse that Beigong Langyan was riding deliberately followed her carriage side by side, he tilted his head, Xia Xiaoxiao pulled down the curtain, separated his face from the outside, and said coldly, "Anyway, it's not up to you." ”
The road to Gaoganglin was not bumpy, Xia Xiaoxiao quickly fell asleep, and when he woke up, he opened the curtain and saw that it was already the periphery of Gaoganglin's hunting ground.
After another journey, the emperor ordered a camp here, and the eunuchs began to get busy.
Xia Xiaoxiao walked out of the carriage and was about to jump down, when an extra hand suddenly appeared in front of her, and when she looked down, it was Beigong Yu, she looked dazed, "What are you doing?" ”
"Come down."
Beigong Yu couldn't help but say more, holding her hand with one hand, and holding her waist with the other hand and hugging her from the carriage, with a gentle demeanor.
Xia Xiaoxiao's feet hit the ground, and immediately jumped out of his arms, looked left and right, and found that the emperor and queen had already entered the tent and were not here, looking at Beigong Yu's eyes were full of admiration from the heart, and praised again and again, "Tsk, I have done such a good job of acting, fortunately, I didn't come because I was uncomfortable, otherwise Your Highness's play would be worth the loss." ”
Beigong Yu's hand on her waist tightened, bringing the distance between the two closer, Xia Xiaoxiao was caught off guard, her forehead almost hit Beigong Yu's chin, she looked up and saw him sneering, "Xia Xiaoxiao, this palace is kind to you, in your eyes, it's all a show?" ”
"Nope." Xia Xiaoxiao shook her head admittedly, "It's because you haven't been kind to me." ”
She gave him a blank look, stretched out her hand, and pushed him away, and everyone around her was busy not far away, and she turned and ran towards the crowded place.
It's not, all her bad luck was caused by Beigong Yu, if Beigong Yu really wants to be good to her, it is best to arrange a crime for her to be exiled outside the palace.
The ground was covered with fallen leaves, and she ran with the wind under her feet, and the corners of her skirt lifted with the fallen leaves, like flowers spreading under her feet.
Beigong Yu glanced at it, and followed towards the center of the crowd.
The weather is quite good today, although it is inevitably cold in late autumn, and the wind is a little strong, but the sun can still be seen in these two days, and there is a feeling of warmth in the sun.
It didn't take long for the tents to be set up, and the emperor and queen were independent, and several princes were next to each other, and the rest were ministers', from the inside to the outside, occupying a large area of the periphery.
The hunt will start tomorrow, and it will be almost evening after everything is done, and the emperor will order the people to go back to their respective tents to rest and lead the people to the field early tomorrow morning to hunt.
Xia Xiaoxiao slept a lot during the day, and couldn't sleep at this time, so he walked around the periphery alone. Because there were guards around him, and the firelight was also bright, Xia Xiaoxiao was a little bolder, and in order to find a clean place, he walked to the place close to the infield.
There are too many trees in the high hill forest, too dense, but fortunately it is the season of falling leaves, most of the leaves are withering down, as soon as I look up, the whole starry sky is exposed overhead, and the mottled light falls to the ground through the gaps between the branches, and I go farther, I can't hear the sound of people and torches in the camp, and my heart is not quiet.
I think that when she followed her father here, she didn't know how excited she was, but she just came here to catch two hares and go back to show off to Ji Xiaoer.
Before she knew it, she had come to the place where she had been slapped by his father.
It was naughty at that time, but who was not naughty at that age? Every time Xia Fu slapped her, she remembered it.
In fact, Gao Ganglin looks almost the same everywhere, and the reason why Xia Xiaoxiao still remembers it is entirely because after she was slapped by Xia Fu, she couldn't get angry, so she picked up the knife on her body and carved a turtle on the tree, which is commonly referred to as Xia Fu's bastard.
In front of her was the tree she had carved her mark, and the turtle was still there, but it had been shalled by the wind and rain for three years.
Xia Xiaoxiao's hand held the turtle, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, at that time she still remembered that it was on top of her head, but now it is only up to her neck, but she didn't expect that she has grown a lot taller in three years.
Her giggles were small, and Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly heard a "poof" laugh mixed in it, and the whole person suddenly froze.
She glanced left and right quickly, and no one was there, could it be that she had heard it wrong?
But it didn't feel like a hallucination, and when I reacted, this place seemed to be too far away from the tent, and if she killed a beast or something, no one would hear her call for help!
"It's quite bold to dare to run out so late."
The sudden sound frightened Xia Xiaoxiao to the ground, fortunately, the ground was full of leaves, and it didn't hurt to fall, she looked up, a figure was sitting on a tall tree, against the light, Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't see his face clearly, and scolded loudly, "Your uncle!" ”
"What's wrong with the master of this palace?"
As soon as the words fell, the man jumped down from the tree, stood in front of Xia Xiaoxiao, and asked her slowly.
Xia Xiaoxiao was just about to get up, but when he saw that the figure on the tree was actually Beigong Yu, he fell down fiercely, and he couldn't open his mouth for a while, who should be Beigong Yu's uncle?
Xia Xiaoxiao struggled to get up, but when she came out of the tent, she wrapped a few more pieces because she was afraid of the cold, and now she couldn't get up, she looked at Beigong Yu, that guy didn't mean to help at all, she simply pulled the corner of his clothes and finally stood up, "Shouldn't you be in the tent so late, why are you running here?" ”
Beigong Yu patted the corner of his clothes impatiently, glanced at her, and chuckled, "Xiao Xia'er, isn't it because the palace is not in the tent that it is difficult to sleep?" ”
"I'm here to see if you've been eaten by wild beasts, so I can sleep soundly."
Xia Xiaoxiao turned around to leave, Beigong Yu followed behind her, pulled her towards the firelight, and smiled low in her ear, "Xiao Xia'er, this palace is now, but I like you more and more." ”
Xia Xiaoxiao wanted to pull her hand out, but he held it tighter and tighter, which made her feel a little painful, and what Beigong Yu said, she saw the sarcastic smile in his eyes.
The two figures held hands like this, and approached the prince's tent one after the other, and the curtain was lowered, but a small voice came from inside.
There are guards around the camp, with long knives at their waists, and all the courtiers are gathered here at this time, even the emperor and queen are there, if one accidentally makes a mistake, it will be a matter of losing his head.
Beigong Pheasant's tent happened to be opposite Beigong Yu's tent, Ben Anxin looked at the book when he heard the noise and looked up through the window on the tent, and saw that the two of them had entered the tent, so he took his eyes back and buried his head in the book in his hand.
"Since they're all here, are you still afraid of showing up here?"
The light in the room was dim, Beigong Pheasant's eyes were still on the books, and the other hand picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said slowly.
"Anyway, this place is also heavily guarded, and the masters are like clouds, if you show up easily, it will cause me trouble, and with the current ability of the king, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect me."
There was still only Beigong Pheasant in the tent, and the voice with a hint of chuckle seemed to come out of thin air, and the guards guarding outside the tent didn't seem to hear any movement.
Suddenly, all the curtains on the tent fell as if the threads had been broken, and the candlelight in the tent dimmed a little.
Beigong Pheasant left the book he was staring at because of the dim candlelight, he couldn't see the font clearly, closed it, turned his eyes to the corner edge, and at some point, there was already a faint figure standing there.
"Even under such vigilance, do you still have the courage to break in, and you are still worried that you will not be able to get out?"
Beigong Pheasant Li frowned slightly, the saint traveled, and all the people around him were masters, and he broke into his tent so leisurely, and no one found out, which Beigong Pheasant Li did not expect.
"There has to be a precaution, if you don't let people rush in immediately, won't the owner of this building become a turtle in the urn?" The man's low and chuckling voice spread through the account, with a little evil spirit, and from the beginning he used his internal force to talk to him, naturally he was not afraid that anyone would hear him.
Beigong Pheasant's gaze sank and he didn't speak.
In the dark night, the candle that was already burning almost was finally extinguished, the man walked out of the corner, the tent was dark, Beigong Pheasant couldn't see his face clearly, only knew that he walked to the window, his fingertips gently opened the corner of the curtain, and what he looked at was the tent in Beigong Yu.
"I didn't expect that with such an indifferent personality as King Li, there would be a woman who could make King Liwang stop, and I don't know if it was a blessing for several lifetimes."
The man chuckled softly.
Beigong Pheasant Li squinted his eyes, "It's good to say what the Lord of Murong Mansion is saying today, if you stay for a long time, this king can't guarantee what will happen." ”
The man's gaze swept over at this time, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a shallow smile, "Stop, stop, the owner of this building is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" ”
He walked towards Beigong Pheasant, tapped his slender fingertips twice on the table, stroked the book he had just read, picked it up and flipped through it casually, and said casually, "Nanming has already known about the totem, and I'm afraid there will be a big move in a while, so I have to hurry up with the king." ”
As soon as the words fell, a strong gust of wind blew in the tent that had been closed out of nowhere, and the people in front of him suddenly disappeared.
Beigong Pheasant left the crowd to light the candle again, and the history book he had just placed on the table had disappeared with the man's departure.
The curtain was pulled back up, and he looked at Beigong Yu and Xia Xiaoxiao's tent, inside, the figures of the two were reflected more conspicuously through the candlelight, and they were also dazzling.
This trip, there were originally a lot of people, for convenience, Pingshun and Qingyue did not follow, and at this time, Xia Xiaoxiao naturally had to serve Beigong Yu himself.
changed Beigong Yu's clothes, Beigong Yu sat on the edge of the bed, staring straight at her with a pair of eyes.
"Come here."
He beckoned to her.
Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned, and before he could react, he was pulled to the bed by Beigong Yu, he leaned over and pressed over, Xia Xiaoxiao glared and hurriedly grabbed his collar, and said angrily, "Beigong Yu, what are you doing!" ”
Looking at Beigong Yu's close face, the scene of Chenxiao Palace immediately appeared in her mind, and a chill blew on her through the curtain, and she couldn't help but panic.
"I feel sorry for you, help you undress." Beigong Yu smiled between his eyebrows, looked at her like a fox, and his hand reached for the tie around her waist.
Xia Xiaoxiao's body was agitated, and he didn't know where the strength came from, taking Beigong Yu's defenselessness, he pushed him to the inside of the bed, and wanted to get out of bed, Beigong Yu's hand was still more than a little faster than hers, Beigong Yu's face lying on her side was already a little annoyed at this time, and he twisted his eyebrows and said angrily, "Where to run?" ”
Beigong Yu was just joking with her, but she didn't expect her to be so resistant, and she couldn't hear some anger in her tone.
"Beigong Yu, if you want to sleep, sleep well! Don't move your hands and feet, I'm getting goosebumps! ”
Xia Xiaoxiao struggled, but Beigong Yu's hand didn't mean to let go, she was so scared that her face suddenly turned red.
Beigong Yu's face became darker and darker under the candlelight, and the eyes that were originally smiling also sank, Xia Xiaoxiao thought that he had annoyed him again, and wanted to jump under the bed, Beigong Yu pulled the quilt and stuffed her into the quilt, and spit out, "Sleep!" ”
Xia Xiaoxiao stopped, Beigong Yu still didn't let go of her hand, she carefully poked her head out of the quilt, only a pair of eyes came out, as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Beigong Yu staring at her with her eyes down, she quickly shrank back.
Didn't he say sleep? What are you still staring at her?
Xia Xiaoxiao wrapped the quilt tightly, waited for a while, and thought that Beigong Yu should have fallen asleep, but he happened to hear his voice coming in from outside, and said lightly, "I've covered it for so long, and I'm not afraid of covering it up." ”
Xia Xiaoxiao stretched her head out completely from the inside, inhaled heavily, and held it inside, but the prickly heat didn't come out, but it was about to suffocate her.
Beigong Yu didn't look sleepy at all, his long eyebrows were still slightly wrinkled, he didn't fall asleep, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't dare to sleep, she was drunk at the last palace banquet, and she ate Beigong Yu once, and she couldn't eat the same loss a second time.
But when the sleepiness came, how could she hold on if she wanted to.
The tent was only set up in the open air, and it could not withstand the stone and brick walls of the palace to keep out the cold, and in the hazy sleep, the wind blew into her warm quilt, and it was cold for a moment, as if something warmer than the quilt surrounded her, and she slept deeper all night.
