Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Hunting Meeting
Since he can solve countless strange cases, it means that his ability to perceive people's hearts is not ordinary.
"Don't worry, for you, even if it's a knife mountain, I have to give it." Shen Xi patted Lu Qingyi's shoulder, feeling that the wind was sluggish and the water was cold.
"Tomorrow the emperor will hold an annual hunting party, do you want to participate?" Lu Qingyi came today for this matter, but he heard Liu Congwen from Shen Xi for a long time.
Shen Xi didn't want to participate in any hunting meeting, it was nothing more than a group of people watching another group of people hunt with bows and arrows, which was nothing unusual, she blinked, "Can I not go?" ”
"It's okay not to go, but if you disobey this holy decree, you will probably lose your head." The emperor didn't know that Shen Xi had opened the bookstore here, but the last time she sued Dali Temple, everyone in the capital knew about it, even though the emperor was in the deep palace, but it was not difficult for him to want to know about this matter.
"The emperor didn't let you go hunting, he just said that you are outstanding, it's good to see the world, and you can tell him stories when he's bored." Lu Qingyi looked at Shen Xi's worried face, and enlightened her carefully.
"The emperor's order cannot be violated, you will come to pick me up tomorrow." Shen Xi just didn't understand, why did the emperor suddenly think of her, how could she, a girl who was a monk in a slum, get the attention of the Son of Heaven?
"You freshen up a little tomorrow, you are not the only lady who goes, Helanzhi and the wives and daughters of other ministers will be there." Lu Qingyi specially instructed Shen Xi to turn it over, "There is still tomorrow, if you see Helanzhi, just treat it as if you didn't see it." ”
If the quarrel with Helan is too serious, it will not be good for her, and she can keep a low profile.
Shen Xi nodded silently and sighed after Lu Qingyi left.
How did she get dragged into this whirlpool of intrigue? Even if you want to hide now, you can't dodge.
Now that she has met Lu Qingyi and Chang Yi, it means that it is unlikely that she wants to live a stable life in this life.
On the second day, Shen Xi got up early to freshen up, and also applied a little powder, and used both eyebrows and lipstick, and he looked much more energetic than usual.
Chang Yi was a little stunned when he saw it, but Lu Qingyi didn't like to watch Shen Xi put on makeup, he always felt that the makeup didn't look as good as usual.
When they went to the hunting ground, the emperor and queen had already arrived, and they were watching the singing and dancing before the hunt began, and the daughters of many ministers of the dancers in the audience.
After seeing Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi, the emperor's face bloomed with joy, but Shen Xi was very restrained, how could he relax in front of the emperor.
Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi sat together, Chang Yi casually found a vacant seat and sat down, he didn't plan to participate in today's hunting competition, how many princes wanted to take advantage of the hunting meeting to perform well and be praised by the emperor, but he was very indifferent to these.
After the singing and dancing, the emperor began to announce the official start of the hunt, but this year's hunting rules are different from usual, usually a one-person competition, this year is a two-person competition, and men and women are mixed into a group.
As soon as the rules of this competition came out, how many girls secretly looked at Lu Qingyi, even though they were the daughters of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and they had seen a lot of the world, but Lu Qingyi's face was beyond the reach of many people.
said that it was a mixed gender, but Shen Xi didn't plan to participate, she couldn't even ride a horse, how could she compete?
When drawing lots, everyone wanted to draw a group with Lu Qingyi, but how did they know that Lu Qingyi didn't put the note in it at all, he kept it in his hand and stuffed it to Shen Xi while he was in chaos.
"I'm in a group with you."
When Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi stood together, Shen Xi felt the killing intent from all sides, if her eyes could kill, she was estimated to have become a funnel now.
A woman's jealousy is the most terrible. 918
"I'm going to be in a group with you." There are bold girls, and when they came up, they directly asked Lu Qingyi for a group, and they didn't forget to glance at Shen Xi as she spoke.
Seeing this scene, even if Shen Xi was generous, she felt that she was challenged, and she also glanced back at the girl, "Girl, I'm afraid you didn't hear what Lu Gongzi said just now, right?" Need me and you repeat it again? ”
Shen Xi smiled, but there was a sharp light in his eyes.
"Daddy, my daughter wants to be in a group with Lu Gongzi." The girl turned around and played coquettish with her father, who was the prime minister.
Shen Xi was disdainful in his heart, and he was a bully.
"This competition system is determined by the emperor, if you have any dissatisfaction, go and mention it to the emperor." Shen Xi said and pulled Lu Qingyi away.
She originally thought that it was two people sharing a horse, but who knew that it was one person and one horse, Shen Xi was afraid when she saw a horse, let alone riding a horse.
She took a few steps back, "Is it too late to quit the game?" ”
"It's too late." Lu Qingyi whispered to Shen Xi, "I'll send you on the horse, just grab its reins and follow me slowly." ”
Lu Qingyi had already hugged Shen Xi on the horse, Shen Xi sat on the horse's back and felt weak, seeing that those young ladies were on the horse, and left leisurely, but she was still fighting.
Xu is competitive attack, as soon as Shen Xi pulled the reins, he followed Lu Qingyi and slowly advanced towards the forest.
"Go hunting first! Don't be good if we lose. "It's okay not to participate, this joining. Shen Xi attaches great importance to winning and losing, especially in front of those eldest ladies.
"It doesn't matter if you win or lose, you have to be safe." Lu Qingyi had no intention of participating in the hunt, but if he didn't participate, he and Chang Yi would both sit there, and it didn't seem to be very good, and the emperor would always say it when he saw him.
"You said that you didn't choose who you chose, you had to choose me, and you dragged your feet." Shen Xi's face was full of sadness, she didn't want Lu Qingyi to lose the game because of her.
Lu Qingyi smiled softly, "Then who do you want me to be with?" ”
Shen Xi stopped talking.
"Alright, you just wait for me here, I'll go hunting, and I'll come to you later." Lu Qingyi said and rode away.
Shen Xi was alone in this forest, and from time to time there would be the cries of wild beasts, which frightened her whole body.
Before she could react, the horse beneath her suddenly galloped as if frightened. Shen Xi grabbed the reins on the horse's back, the faster the horse ran, the more she lost her strength, and finally she couldn't escape the fate of being fallen.
Shen Xi rubbed the painful place in pain, and stumbled to her feet, she was taken by a horse somewhere, the surroundings were gloomy, and she felt scared when she looked at it.
As soon as she took a few steps, she was hit with a stone again, and the force was so great that she fell directly to the ground.
"Who? has the ability to come out to confront him, and secretly what kind of skill is the world's yin tricks. Only then did Shen Xi realize that he had been plotted, otherwise how could the horse suddenly go crazy, and now he was still hitting her with stones, which was quite a sense of revenge.
"Now you know you're scared?" I heard a voice coming from a distance, it was still a man's voice.
