(17) Hunting
"Your Majesty, the ministers have never understood the way of riding and shooting, so the emperor will allow the ministers to wait here for your return."
After breakfast, the ministers followed Feng Yusheng to the hunting ground. On a small hillside, Feng Yusheng was dressed in a hunting suit, standing in front of everyone in the wind, and behind him, Lian Qingjue coughed lightly twice and said.
"Okay." Feng Yusheng nodded, "Lian Qing, when you are well, you should also learn to ride a horse and shoot arrows, so that your body will be stronger." ”
"Yes, I'll go to school when the minister is well."
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know how to ride and shoot, please allow the minister to wait here with Lord Lian."
Glancing at Lian Qingjue, Gu Caizhi also stepped forward and said to Feng Yusheng.
"That's right."
Seeing that the groom led his horse over, Feng Yusheng turned over and straddled the horse, and the other ministers also sat on the horse's back when they saw this.
"Aiqing, until noon, this time we will compete to see who has the most prey, and the one who wins the first place will be rewarded."
"Yes."
The ministers responded one after another.
"Let's go."
On the high platform beside him, there were guards who raised their drumsticks and beat the drums, and the horses heard the drums, as if they had heard the order, and they all got up their hooves and ran into the woods not far away.
……
"That wine is so strong, can you still stand it?"
In the blink of an eye, there were only Gu Caizhi and Lian Qingjue left on the hillside, as well as a row of guards waiting for him, Gu Caizhi smoothed out Lian Qingjue's somewhat messy black hair scattered on his cloak.
"It's a bit unbearable."
Lian Qingjue tightened his cloak and coughed as he bent over.
"It's windy here, let's go back and rest."
Gu Caizhi gently patted Lian Qingjue's back and helped him slowly walk towards the tent.
"Brother, are you back?"
As soon as the two walked into the tent, they saw Lian Qingwen sitting on a chair, leisurely cross-legged and eating melon seeds.
"Ahem, why are you here?"
took a sip of the hot water handed by Gu Caizhi, and said to Qingjue.
"I still don't worry about you, so I asked Lord Wang for a few days off."
Lian Qingwan walked to Lian Qingjue's side, sniffed deeply, frowned, and said, "Brother, have you drunk?" Do you still dare to drink? Don't want to die? ”
"Just three glasses, it's fine."
Seeing the young lady's signal, Lingju hurriedly took the hand stove from behind the screen and handed it to Lian Qingjue, and then moved the brazier forward to Lian Qingjue, and went out to set up the stove to boil medicine. Lian Qingjue held the hand stove in his hand, and after a while, he felt that his cold and somewhat numb body regained some consciousness.
"Master Gu, you have been with my brother all the time, why don't you look at him."
Lian Qingwan added a few more pieces of carbon to the brazier and said.
"It's mine, it's not."
Gu Caizhi sat next to Lian Qingjue, obviously he had a thin layer of sweat on his body because of the too warm and hot in the tent, but Lian Qingjue was still trembling invisibly.
"Ah Wan, don't blame him, I'm going to drink it."
Lian Qingjue closed his eyes slightly and said softly.
"Childe, the medicine is decoctioned, drink it while it's hot."
After a while, Lingju lifted the curtain and brought a bowl of steaming decoction. Lian Qingjue opened his eyes, looked at the black medicinal juice in the bowl, took it and drank it all.
"Brother, let's rest for a while after drinking the medicine."
Seeing that Lian Qingjue was obviously a little sleepy, Lian Qingjue said.
"Yes." Lian Qingjue got up: "I'm sorry Master Gu, Lian has to go to sleep for a while." ”
"Okay."
Seeing that Lian Qingjue turned the screen, there was no movement after a squirming sound, and Gu Caizhi didn't leave, just sat there, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Master Gu is going to wait here for my brother to wake up?"
Lian Qingwen hesitated, but still asked.
"Yes."
"Then please trouble Master Gu to take care of my brother here, I have something to do with Lingju to go out."
"Okay."
Gu Cai knew that this was an excuse that Miss Lian deliberately found in order to stay with Lian Qingjue for a while longer, so he silently accepted this kindness.
……
"Why are you still here?"
I don't know how long it took, Lian Qingjue woke up, put on his clothes and wanted to pour a glass of water to drink, but saw Gu Caizhi sitting there, staring at the burning crackling brazier, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Are you awake?"
Seeing that Lian Qingjue's face was much better, Gu Caizhi relieved himself, then quickly got up, poured a cup of hot water and handed it to him.
"What time is it?"
After taking a sip of hot water to moisten his throat, Lian Qingjue asked.
"It's time for Shen." Gu Caizhi walked to Lian Qingjue's side, frowned, and said, "You know that you are afraid of the cold, but you still don't put on your clothes well." What if you catch a cold again? ”
"Hehe, what Ah Wan said is really right, Master Gu's temperament is really excellent."
Seeing Gu Caizhi tie his clothes with a straight face, and then pick up the cloak on the back of the chair and put it on himself, Lian Qingjue smiled.
"The complexion is indeed much better. Feeling hungry? ”
Ignoring Lian Qingjue's teasing, Gu Caizhi asked.
"Your Majesty is there ......"
"I said you are sick again, and the emperor will let you recuperate."
"Oh." Lian Qingjue nodded and sat down on the chair, "I'm really a little hungry." ”
"Lingju, come in with some food."
"Yes."
Gu Caizhi called at the door, and heard Lingju answering at the door.
"Yo, Master Gu summoned me to even see the people from the mansion at all."
Lian Qingjue said with a smile.
"You don't have to see the outside."
Gu Caizhi sat down again and moved the brazier to Lian Qingjue's side.
"I said Master Gu, you ...... Won't you smile? ”
Lian Qingjue clasped his hands and stared at Gu Caizhi.
"No, it won't."
Gu Caizhi said in a muffled voice.
"Snort, it's a pity for this good look."
Lian Qingjue shook his head, and when he saw Lingju coming in with food, he lowered his head and ate it. And at this time, Gu Caizhi recalled Lian Qingjue's words just now, and absentmindedly picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them.
