Chapter 31: The Hunt
As soon as the guzheng was brought over, Lin Zuiliu sat on the chair.
She hadn't played the guzheng for a long time, and she was calm and light on the surface, but in fact, she was already a little panicked in her heart.
But fortunately, Lin Zuiliu is used to pretending, she stroked her hand on the guzheng lightly, thought for a while, moved her fingers lightly, and a ethereal and elegant guzheng music was played.
Lin Zuiliu's guzheng is really not exquisite, but it is better than the exquisite music, she decided to play the guzheng from the beginning of her decision to play the guzheng, and decided to play the most prestigious "Fishing Boat Singing Night" in guzheng music.
After all, "Fishing Boat Singing Night" has received a lot of praise, and it is also the only guzheng music that she has practiced the most and can remember the score fluently.
On a silent banquet, the sound of the empty guzheng is tactful and low, sometimes high mountains and flowing water, resounding through the clouds; Sometimes it is like rain hitting plantains, turning a thousand times.
Until the end of the song, I only felt that the aftermath lingered for three days.
There was silence in the air, Lin Zuiliu looked back and forth, and began to reflect on whether he had made a mistake in his heart, Liao Luan was the first to come back to his senses and began to applaud.
The applause began to thin out, and gradually the sound became louder and louder, and it did not stop for a long time.
Lin Zuiliu finally relieved himself when he heard everyone's applause, stood up and bowed to the emperor, and then turned around and sat back next to Liao Luan.
"Okay, good, I didn't know that Princess Zhennan still had such skills, and she was really good-looking, which is worth it!"
"Someone, give me a reward! …… The maid of the Reward Department! ”
The little emperor was happy listening to the music and wanted to squander the reward Lin Zuiliu, but he didn't expect to see his family brave and good at fighting, and the cold and elegant little prince was staring at him indifferently.
He was a man with a strong desire to survive, and his mouth was sharp enough, and he definitely had time to immediately turn around and give the reward to others.
Lin Zuiliu didn't see the interaction between the two people at all, and when she heard the emperor say that she would reward Yu Tian, she also secretly pursed her lips, secretly saying that this little emperor is simply not human.
The banquet was slowly coming to an end, and Lin Zuiliu, who had just had a "vicious battle", was already a little sleepy.
Liao Luan felt funny when she saw that she was about to fall asleep little by little, so she hurriedly supported her head, nodded to the emperor, and helped Lin Zuiliu to go back.
Along the way, Lin Zuiliu was very well-behaved, and without saying a word, he followed Liao Luan's steps and walked to the door of the tent little by little.
Liao Luan supported her with one hand, opened the curtain with the other, entered the tent and put her on the bed.
Cui He was sitting embroidering in the tent, and when he saw the two of them coming back, he got up and helped Liao Luan take care of Lin Zuiliu together.
"Lord, there is only one bed in this tent......"
Cui He is the eldest girl next to Lin Zuiliu, and she has always won Liao Luan's trust, she naturally knows that Lin Zuiliu and Liao Luan do not sleep together, but now they can't help themselves outside, which is always a little inconvenient.
Liao Luan waved his hand when he heard her ask, and said softly, "It's okay, you go down first." ”
When Cui He heard this, he obediently saluted and walked out of the tent.
Liao Luan suddenly felt a little stuffy and hot in the tent.
He looked at Lin Zuiliu's sweet little face that fell asleep as soon as he lay down, slowly raised the corners of his mouth, got up and lay down next to her slightly.
I don't know if I'm afraid that I'll wake her up if I move too much, or I'm afraid that I'll be embarrassed if I touch her.
He lay next to Lin Zuiliu, his eyes lightly glanced at Lin Zuiliu's delicate and beautiful little face, and skimmed it several times.
Finally, I couldn't help but reach out and put my hand on the corner of her mouth and touch it gently, and then sighed with satisfaction.
"Good night Aliu."
At dawn on the second day, Lin Zuiliu woke up.
She slowly opened her eyes, and in a blur, she saw a beautiful angry face not far from her.
She closed her eyes, and slowly opened them again, and the face appeared more and more clearly in front of her.
Until he confirmed that this was not an illusion or a spring dream or something, Lin Zuiliu's eyes suddenly widened, staring directly at Liao Luan's shallow face, and swallowed a little uncontrollably.
Liao Luan's really good-looking foul, obviously he can rely on his appearance, but he has to fight for strength, he can obviously be the second ancestor, but he is powerful.
Lin Zuiliu pondered in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh, and suddenly the person with his eyes closed next to him opened his mouth and said, "Ah Liu, what are you thinking?" ”
The suddenness of his voice startled Lin Zuiliu, she sat up, her face was crimson, and she frowned and said in a rough voice, "Why are you Liao Yangui, scared me to death?" ”
Liao Luan chuckled, got up and put on his shoes, and then looked back at Lin Zuiliu, who was obviously shy and still holding on, and said, "Hurry up and wash up, and take you to hunt after breakfast." ”
Hunting is the highlight of this outing, after all, the most important activity in Autumn Wai is hunting.
The Northern Ring Country has always been strong, but one-third of the entire country is a desert area, so the material reserves in the northern region are not abundant.
The south is the land of fish and rice, and it is quite rich, which is also the reason for the turmoil in the Nanzhao Kingdom, which is located in the south of the Northern Ring Kingdom.
The inconvenient transportation between the north and the south is a major flaw in the northern ring country.
Because of the royal martial arts, hunting has become an indispensable activity every year.
The hunting area is also exclusive to the royal family, and it is guarded all year round, so there will be no animals that are too large to hurt people, nor will there be no animals at all, which will affect the interest of hunting.
Lin Zuiliu hurriedly washed up, and saw Cui He holding a riding costume in his hand.
She looked at this smoky purple riding costume that was obviously worn by a girl with some surprise, and heard Cui He explain, "This is prepared by the prince, let you change it, and it will be more convenient to move later." ”
Lin Zuiliu nodded, and changed into a riding costume that he had never worn before, the clothes fit very well, and the color was also what Lin Zuiliu liked.
She walked out of the tent in a good mood, and watched the men and women holding the reins of their horses and smiling happily along the way, and the smile on her face gradually became a little untenable.
She was just thinking about how to be heroic and how to make a big show for a while, but she forgot one of the most important things.
She doesn't know how to ride a horse.
It's almost dying. Lin Zuiliu lowered his head and moved to Liao Luan's side, and whispered in a depressed voice, "Liao Luan, I don't know how to ride a horse." ”
When Liao Luan heard her say this, he couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Yes, that's a problem." ”
Did she mean what she wanted him to admit? Lin Zuiliu was almost about to go berserk, she just wanted a solution, such as suddenly learning to ride a horse, or everyone didn't ride a horse or something.
But obviously, Liao Luan did not receive her revelation, he still pulled his baby Xiao Hei lightly, as if Xiao Hei was his princess, very intimate.
Lin Zuiliu especially wanted to prick Xiao Hei and let Liao Luan know what it meant that only women and villains were difficult to raise, but fortunately, her only remaining reason stopped her in time.
When they arrived at the place where everyone gathered, the eunuch next to the little emperor was reading the rules and requirements of the competition at the throat of the male duck, and it was nearing the end.
When Lin Zuiliu looked at the noblewomen in Beijing who were holding horses in their hands and didn't know how much more heroic than herself, her silver teeth were about to be crushed.
She seemed to suddenly know why Liao Luan didn't want to bring her to Qiuwei in the first place.
She knew that she was wrong, she didn't fit in with this place at all, and she didn't have much room to play when she came.
Lin Zuiliu, who felt sorry for herself, had automatically formed a barrier to isolate everyone, Liao Luan rode on the horse, looked at the little girl's posture as if the sky was about to fall, and stretched out her hand.
"Aliu, come up."
His voice was low, and Lin Zuiliu didn't hear it clearly for a while.
"Huh?" He raised his head only to see the hand he was holding out to him.
Lin Zuiliu pointed at himself with some surprise, "Me? As soon as the words came out, the little paw was grabbed by Liao Luan's big skeletal hand.
In the next second, she sat directly on the heroic little black.
Although he wanted to hunt, Lin Zuiliu had always hated riding a horse the most.
Not to mention anything else, just based on her experience of riding a few horses ridden by Liao Luan, her butt really hurts, not for a while, but for two days.
This is also the reason why she definitely doesn't want to learn to ride a horse, after all, she is lazy and has advanced cancer, and she will never like to find fault with herself the most.
She sat on Xiao Hei's body cowardly, holding Liao Luan's arm tightly, and her fingers were white.
"Relax, Aliu."
Liao Luan's words miraculously soothed Lin Zuiliu and made her forget the pain of riding a horse for a while.
She turned around and glared at him fiercely, "It's not you who hurt, of course you can relax?" ”
Lin Zuiliu's appearance was quite rude, and Yu Tian, who was riding on the horse on the side, sneered lightly and glanced at her contemptuously.
Yin Yang said to the noble girl beside him, "Miss Ben has always thought that the daughters of our Northern Ring Country can ride skills?" ”
She has always been peaceful on weekdays, she is a talented girl, and her family status is not low, so many noble ladies are flattered around her.
At this time, hearing her say this, and everyone was also dissatisfied with Liao Luan marrying such a waste, they followed Lin Zuiliu together.
Lin Zuiliu didn't care, adhering to the excellent mentality of "being told that they won't lose a bite of meat, their envy and jealousy must take it all", and she was good-tempered twice.
Liao Luan didn't have such a big belly, he didn't have any expression on his face, and with a sharp grip on the horse's belly, Xiao Hei galloped away from the place.
A puff of dust rose on the ground, Lin Zuiliu picked up Liao Luan's clothes and looked back, and the nobles behind her coughed coquettishly, looking very embarrassed, before she finally laughed.
Although the mentality is good, it does not mean that it is a soft persimmon, she finally got on the horse, and she was too lazy to pay attention to them, and now Liao Luan has avenged herself, whether it is intentional or not, she has to reward Liao Luan.
I don't dislike him.
Liao Luan didn't know what Lin Zuiliu was thinking, seeing her smile happily, she gradually became a little happy, but she looked around very vigilantly.
The hunt had begun, and they all rode into the woods on horseback with bows and arrows.
At this time, the bureau set up by Liao Luan and the little emperor had just begun.
