Summer has arrived, and the mountains and forests are gradually becoming lively. The chirping of birds tickles some of the hearts. The life in Dongzhuang is simple and happy, the prince never mentioned that he wanted to return to the palace, not even a hint, and everyone was happy and leisurely.

The prince's health is better than one, he has eaten too many medicinal supplements, and he looks stronger than before, and the whole person looks more calm.

Now that the prince doesn't have to become a person, Ling Xue and Dian Qing, who are itchy and itchy, take people up the mountain to compete and hunt every once in a while. The barbecue is delicious, and Ji'er's spices are enough, and everyone is not tired of eating it.

But the two hunters on the mountain both complained to the crown princess with bitter faces: "It's too ruthless! This hunting method, I'll come obediently! The cubs are gone, what will we eat next year? What kind of skin is handed over to the prince's mansion? ”

Haitang couldn't cry or laugh, and quickly asked Shuang'er to stuff some silver into others, telling them that this year's leather will be handed over if it is available, and it will be forgotten if it is not. It's all idle things! So Haitang found them and said to them: "You go and divide the men and horses into two teams, me and the prince each lead one team, how about we compare?" ”

Ling Xue smiled: "Crown Princess, you are the first to treat the disease, we will serve you." In this matchup, you played, didn't you deliberately drag your feet? ”

Haitang rolled her eyes at him: "I'm two people, I'm on a team with you, and you still earned it!" ”

The prince, who was reading a book next to him, suddenly realized: "No wonder the crown princess played war chess, and the number of regrets was significantly reduced compared with before, it turns out that this is all the credit of the orphan!" ”

Shuang'er coaxed beside her: "Since the crown princess is in battle, our female soldiers are also going into battle!" "In this way, everyone is energetic. Men and women match, don't get tired of working! Soon, seventy people were divided into two teams according to their own volition. Ling Xue and Dark Green have their own advantages, Ling Xue's martial arts are stronger, but Dark Green is very popular, and there are many people who vote for him.

Liuying, Yuqing, Caiqin, and Cailian stopped doing it: "We don't know how to ride horses or martial arts!" Shall I cook and wash your clothes? Ji'er only pursed her lips and smiled, others don't know, she doesn't know yet? The crown princess is changing her way to tease the prince, how can she really let them go into battle?

The crown princess said with a smile: "There are burdens on both sides, so you can test the ability of the general." Don't worry, those boys will rush to teach you. ”

The prince is not interested: "You play, Lone will not participate." ”

"That'...... How are you a military advisor? How capable can they be without you? Begonia proposed.

The prince shook his head and smiled: "Fight and kill, either you die or I die." What if you win? It's better to play a game of chess with your left hand and your right hand calmly. ”

Ling Xue just wanted to persuade him, but the crown princess shook her head at him: Take your time, when everyone has practiced, maybe he will be tempted again?

In the next few days, the two teams began to practice separately, and even a few girls were arrested to learn to ride horses. The whole Dongzhuang is in full swing. There is a young Rao in the Zhuang family, who came to find the crown princess and wanted to join. Ling Feng went to pick forty people and joined the team to train together. In the end, thirty people were left, and they were exactly 100 people to fight.

With the goal of the battle, both teams trained so hard that they didn't have time to go up the mountain to hunt again. But just beating gongs and drums, and didn't mention the prince's enthusiasm for participation. Every time he reads and writes, he takes the begonias out for a walk. Fishing, picking medicine, living a retirement life in advance, leisurely, self-satisfied, and endlessly happy.

"Prince, he ......" Ling Feng looked worriedly at the prince who was napping on the chaise longue, the mottled shadow of the tree cast on his handsome face, but between his eyebrows was less fluttering and more peaceful.

The crown princess smiled: "Let him go." He has just recovered now, and his heart has not yet gotten rid of the influence of Wuxiang, and he has no fighting spirit. I believe that there will always be one, and your prince will return. ”

On the day of Humu, Yan Shiyi and Zhao Muzhe came over together, and when they saw Ling Xue and them practicing, Zhao Houye looked at Yan Shiyi with a smile: "Jingwei and Yulinwei haven't had a chance to fight yet!" ”

"Jingwei is good at fighting, Yulin Wei is good at fighting from afar, what is the comparison of this? If you want to compare, I won't take advantage of you, we will each teach a team of archery, and we will be better than who teaches the apprentice. Yan Shiyi had the usual pride on his face.

"Good!" Zhao Muzhe swept around and asked Ling Xuedao, "Huh?" Where's your prince? ”

Ling Xue sighed: "The crown prince is not interested in swords now, and the crown princess just wants to arouse his fighting spirit, so she lets us train and fight." But the prince didn't even look at it. No, he took the princess to the back of Zhuangzi to fish. ”

Ling Yun on the side smiled secretly: I'm talking nonsense again, obviously the crown princess is afraid that Orion will come to sue again for compensation, so she asked you to train for battle, right?

"Let's go, watch him fish. Lingyun, find us two poles too. Yan Shiyi raised his feet and left.

Zhao Muzhe asked Yan Shiyi as he walked: "He was born as a Buddha, and the second Buddha was promoted?" You, is this a serious illness, or is it a sequelae of poisoning? ”

Yan Shiyi stopped and asked seriously with a side face: "Do you know, why was Wang Shicheng destroyed by Li Shimin, the king of Qin?" ”

Zhao Muzhe thought for a while and replied, "Yes...... Bureaucratic corruption? ”

"It's because Wang Shichong is a chatter and dies of talking too much!" finished, Yan Shiyi left without looking back.

The two saw several people by the lake from a distance, and a tall man in a white robe was the prince. They were talking to an old man with snowy sideburns and silver hair. Yan Shi must have taken a look: Isn't that Lord Shang Hongshang? How did he end up here? When did he come out of the mountains?

Zhao Muzhe just wanted to open his mouth to ask who it was, but remembered Yan Shiyi's sentence just now, "Die from talking too much", and shut up again. Yan Shiyi saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, so he smiled and said, "Do you remember the three prime ministers of the dynasty?" That was Lord Shang Hongshang, and we had seen him in Jingxiang Mountain before. ”

Zhao Muzhe's father, Zhao Yingnan, Marquis of Kangding, was a protégé of Shang Hong, and later Marquis Zhao joined Rong and was also a Confucian general. Zhao Muzhe doesn't know it, so why doesn't he know the name? The two of them quickened their pace and walked over.

"Swallows too?" Walking closer, Shang Hong recognized Yan Shiyi. Yan Shiyi smiled and clasped his fists in salute, and nodded to the prince to say hello.

Zhao Muzhe hurriedly stepped forward to salute Shang Hong, and reported to his family: "Junior Zhao Muzhe, my father is your protégé Zhao Yingnan, and my younger generation often hears my father mention you. ”

"It turned out to be Marquis Zhao. The future is terrifying, my old bones who are about to die, I really envy you young Yinghua, and you still have the opportunity to serve the country! Shang Hong said with a smile.

"When will the old man return to Beijing? How did you find here? Yan Shiyi asked.

Shang Hong laughed, his white beard and white hair shining silver in the sun: "The old man has been back to Beijing to live for half a month, and I heard that the prince is recuperating here, and I don't care about the affairs of the court for a long time, so I specially came to see the prince." ”

At this time, Ling Yun came over with a table, and several people sat down by the lake, Yan Shiyi asked about the resettlement of the Jingxiang refugees, he paid attention to the prince, and he really didn't interject.

It was only when it was time to fish that the prince's words increased. Like an old fisherman, what can you catch with corn soaked in wine for carp, melon flowers for grass carp, earthworms and grasshoppers......

It is rare to see the prince talking so much, and everyone thinks that Old Man Shang has come at a really good time.
