Chapter 18: A Chance Encounter in Shanglin (1)

Everyone focused the laughter on the acting king Ruyi, which also added a lot of fun, especially Yun He Xiuyue, who was so happy to see Ruyi, and the emperor and Mrs. Qi were very good to him, so it looked like Ruyi was a child growing up in a honey pot, and he was very happy. Thinking of when he was in Changxin Palace, how could there be such a happy laughter, the prince was upright and gentle, and after seeing Empress Lu at a regular time every day, he rarely talked to the queen and left, and the emperor rarely went to Empress Lu, so only Dai Qing was left in the entire hall to accompany Empress Lu.

Thinking of this, the two of them met each other's tacit gaze, and they knew that they must be thinking about something bad about Changxin Palace in their hearts, and their smiles gradually put away.

"Your Majesty, why do you have time to come here today? Mrs. Guan, is she okay? I didn't go to her recently, so I went to see her another day. Mrs. Qi asked Liu Bang with the stove in her arms.

"She's fine, and I'm glad Madame misses her like this." Liu Bang said.

Mrs. Qi smiled faintly and warmed her hands again.

Liu Bang laughed with Ruyi in his arms again, "Is it okay to accompany my father to Shanglin Yuan to hunt for a while?" Liu Bang pressed his chin against Ruyi's bright forehead and said caressingly.

The beard was a little pierced Ruyi, his head was puffed out from his chin, and his eyes widened, "Is there only my father and sons?" ”

"Who do you want to call?" Liu Bang asked dignifiedly.

Ruyi rolled his flexible eyes, then smiled mysteriously, and shook Liu Bang's arm with a pair of small hands, "My son hasn't seen the prince's brother for a long time, just knowing that the prince's brother is studying in the palace every day, I'm afraid that my brain will be ruined, so it's okay to call the prince's brother?" ”

Liu Bang was embarrassed, and he lost his smile for a moment, and then he remembered that he hadn't seen the prince since Liu Lu left, and he used to tell the prince that he could do it for five days or for a longer time, and the prince used to worship himself as if it had become a habit, and he couldn't react to it if he hadn't come to worship for a long time, and he felt quite nostalgic. From the mouth of the eunuch who served the prince, he learned that the prince studied for three hours a day, and then practiced calligraphy, or would go to Changxin Palace to accompany Empress Lu for a while. Ruyi talked about the prince at this time, Liu Bang suddenly felt a kind of apology in his heart, he had indeed not been to the prince's palace for a long time, and he had never talked to the prince on his knees, and he had recently encountered the affairs of the queen's family, and he was annoyed, and he did not want to be in a dull atmosphere. Today, I'm in a good mood and I'll come to Yuzao Palace to take a look, Ruyi just said that, but he woke up and snubbed the prince. A pair of vicissitudes of life suddenly crossed a trace of apology in his eyes, grinning and scratching the back of his head, he didn't want to get along with the prince awkwardly, and he didn't know what to say when he met, it was better to be as happy as himself and Ruyi, he could say whatever he wanted, he and the prince had a knot in their hearts, 'uh' for a while, and then pretended to smile and said, "Well, Ruyi also knows that his brother is studying, so let's not bother, right?" Let's fight hard, and no one will bring it. ”

Ruyi pouted, slipped his eyes and gurgled for a while, jumped out of Liu Bang's arms, stood in front of Liu Bang with a pair of small hands on his back, staring straight at Liu Bang with his blazing eyes, mysterious and strange in his mysterious little eyes, and finally shouted, "Okay, just Ruyi and my father." Liu Bang 'Ao yo-' then laughed, put it on Ruyi's thin shoulder and patted it, and Ruyi took the opportunity to pull Liu Bang out.

Mrs. Qi put down the hand warmer and stood up, walked to Liu Bang's side and glanced at him, and touched Ruyi, who was looking at her with her eyes squinting into slits.

"It's cold, Your Majesty should wear more clothes." Mrs. Qi gestured to Jing Tian, Jing Tian hurriedly brought a black robe embroidered with dragon patterns from the inner hall and gave it to Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Qi personally wrapped Liu Bang around her body and tied the belt in front of the collar, patted the dust on the robe, and suddenly a handsome spirit jumped on her face, and Mrs. Qi smiled. Liu Bang took Ruyi with one hand and patted Mrs. Qi on the shoulder with the other.

Mrs. Qi sent Liu Bang and Ruyi out of the palace gate, and Liu Bang only brought a few eunuchs with him. There was a shoulder frame parked in front of the hospital, Liu Bang hugged Ruyi on the shoulder, the two of them talked and laughed on the shoulder, and there was a hearty laughter from time to time from the shoulder wrapped in a gauze tent, and the two laughed and left.

When he came to Shanglin Yuan, Liu Bang personally hugged Ruyi, pulled him with one hand, held his small hand with his big hand, and looked at the tall and mighty father beside him with a smile. Liu Bang also stared at Ruyi with blazing eyes, sticking out his tongue and making a grimace at Ruyi, which was a kind of love and indulgence at this time. Ruyi giggled again, her black eyes suddenly narrowed into a slit again, and her laughter was exquisite.

After taking two steps forward, the ruyi laughter suddenly stopped, and the little face was blackened. The Shanglin Garden in front of me is wide and deep but bare, only the trunks of the trees stand, the leaves fall all over the ground, and the ears are only whistling and blowing, which is bleak and lonely, and it seems even quieter in the desolation. The name of the body above the pavilion was almost indistinguishable from the wind erosion, and a thick layer of soil fell on the case in the pavilion, and a gust of wind blew, and the dust drifted away with the wind, and there was no living breath around.

"Why is Shanglin Yuan so desolate?" Ruyi stood in the pile of leaves.

"If wishful thinking does not come often, it will be desolate." Liu Bang replied with a smile. Ruyi turned his head and tilted his head to question, Liu Bang nodded affirmatively, and smiled.

"Lead the horses, bring the bow and arrows." Liu Bang turned around and shouted loudly to the eunuchs who were waiting nearby.

Two eunuchs, one hurriedly led the horse over, and the other hurriedly came over with a bow and arrow, bowing his head and hands to Liu Bang.

Liu Bang bent down and hugged Ruyi back on the horse, and he also stepped on the back of a eunuch and sat on the horse behind Ruyi, took the bow and arrow in his hand, pulled the reins with one hand and held Ruyi's waist pole, and his chin touched Ruyi's head.

"Let's go, drive-" With a 'drive', Liu Bang galloped on the spacious land of Shanglin Yuan with his wishful horse. When I turned around, all I saw was a desolation, and on horseback, I could see the yellow leaves falling from the sky at will, like a drunken old man swaying and falling leisurely and lightly. The clatter of horses' hooves broke the silence of Shanglin Garden, and the hooves splashed red, and they flew quickly. Ruyi drooped his face and rode on horseback and muttered silently, his interest was reduced by half, and he ran around and did not find any hunting.

The two of them and a horse shuttled through the upper forest garden of Nuoda, and the cold wind whistled by, and the white air exhaled out and floated backwards. Ruyi grabbed his father's hand, and his body also bumped up and down with the horse's running, and Liu Bang's black robe was filled with the cold wind and rolled backwards.

With a long shout, the two of them stopped in one place, looked around, only the winter Xiao Xiao was solemn, and a few gray and green pines and cypresses at the end stood tall and tall in the cold wind, like guards guarding the country.

"Father, why is there not a single prey?" Ruyi turned his head and asked Liu Bang, "Where are the bears, wild horses, white tigers, jackals, wild sheep, and leopards?" What about porcupines? Why don't you see porcupines? ”

Liu Bang grinned again and scratched the back of his head, 'um' for a while, narrowed his eyes and began to fool Ruyi, "Father is a dragon, so those animals don't dare to come out when they see Father Emperor." ”

Ruyi pursed his lips and pouted his eyes and shook his head back, "No, it's not fun, my father scared them so much that they didn't dare to come out, and he asked his sons to come out to hunt what kind of hunt?" The father deceived his sons. He shook his body on the horse and refused to listen to Liu Bang's foolish words.

Liu Bang looked up to the sky and laughed, holding Ruyi's little shoulders and comforting, "Ruyi Ruyi, don't be angry, my father will let you hunt a ......" After thinking about it, he asked again, "What animal do you want to hunt?" ”

Ruyi moved her eyes vividly and cleverly, and said with a smile, "Erchen wants to hunt a big tiger." ”

Liu Bang's eyes widened with a 'yo', and he said with a smile, "Ruyi is really like me, the big tiger is too dangerous, why don't you hunt a mountain eagle?" ”

Ruyi jumped out of a step and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, didn't my father say that the birds in the sky are all gods?" Blessing the people, how did the father shoot the mascot bird? ”

Liu Bang was surprised for a while, and smiled awkwardly and picked up his beautiful beard, "You also know this." ”

Ruyi snorted, crossed his waist and grinned, "Where did they go?" ”

"Who?" Liu Bang was puzzled and stared.

"Tigers, deer, wolves, leopards, sheep, bears, horses, cranes, pigs, badgers." Ruyi was not happy, folded his arms with his hands and pouted, "If you want to see it, you have to see it, my father's words will pull the horse back." ”

Liu Bang was surprised again, and he couldn't figure out what Ruyi said, especially the last sentence, he was stunned for a long time, and then he slapped the back of his head and then said, pointing at Ruyi and laughing, "Ruyi Wisdom, just show you and show you." Jianbu went over and hugged Ruyi and kissed him affectionately, but Ruyi still had a black face. Liu Bang made a gesture to the eunuch, and the eunuch approached Liu Bang and bent down to wait.

"The Shanglin order is coming."

"Whoa." The eunuch stepped forward and summoned Shanglin Ling. At first, Shanglin Ling did not receive the emperor's will to come, so he was busy with his own business, and when the eunuch called out that the emperor brought the acting king over, Shanglin Ling hurriedly put down the work at hand and came with an arrow. Seeing from a distance that it was the emperor, he arched his hands from afar and bent over and walked over, bowing deeply, "Shanglin Ling Yuziwen didn't know that His Majesty was coming, and he was guilty." ”

Liu Bang raised his eyebrows and read "Ziwen...... Ziwen ...... "He smiled and quipped, "Does the Prime Minister of Chu State Chu Cheng Ruo Ao Ziwen have anything to do with you?" Good name. ”

Shanglin Ling Yuziwen was suddenly surprised, he didn't know what the emperor meant, he shook his head vaguely and continued to arch his hand, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid it doesn't matter, Caochen's ancestor is a descendant of the disciple of Xianggong of the Song Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period." ”

"Oh!" Liu Bang's eyes lit up and he exclaimed for a long time, and said with a smile, "Ancestor Guanghuila, the descendant of Gongzi Yu, the younger brother of the Spring and Autumn Overlord, is good." He added, "The original Shanglin Order wasn't you, right?" ”

Yuroe Wen said, "The original Shanglin Order died of illness, and the minister was originally a Shanglin agricultural official, and the minister was transferred to the Shanglin Order for the change of ministry. ”

"Okay, okay, Ziwen must be loyal to his duties, work diligently, and be promoted so quickly." He smiled, and patted Yuroe Wen on the shoulder, "I must not have seen much of Jian's promotion schedule on Jian, and I will ...... in the future."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly shouted at Ruyi, "tigers, deer, wolves, leopards, sheep, bears, horses, cranes, pigs, badgers......" Ruyi was very unhappy to be hung on the side, and saw that his father and Shanglin Ling were chatting speculatively and forgot about themselves, and they howled vigorously when they were angry.

Liu Bang was startled, turned his head and saw Ruyi with his waist crossed, staring at himself unhappily, and shouted again, "Tigers, deer, wolves, leopards, sheep, bears, horses, cranes, pig badgers...... It depends on it. ”

"Uh......" Liu Bang was forced to be embarrassed by Ruyi, but Yu Ziwen was very obedient and lowered his head to avoid the emperor's embarrassed gaze and gave him the stairs. Liu Bang waved his hand and told Ruyi to stop screaming, and Ruyi angrily folded his arms and shook his head.

"Ahh Liu Bang patted his head and asked Yu Luowen, "Where did the original beast of Shanglin Yuan go?" ”

Yu Rowen bowed down again and replied respectfully, "Most of the beasts have moved to the edge of the water and the water, and the animal circle will be built here, and after completion, it will be taken care of by a special husband." His Majesty came to Shanglin Yuan this year and felt desolate, and the red had fallen into mud, and when the end of next year came, even in autumn and winter, there would be flowers all over the place, and the garden would be full of beasts. ”

"Oh-" Liu Bang smiled happily and bent his eyes, even said yes, and patted Yuroe Wen's shoulder, "Okay, okay, how much does it cost to build an animal circle?" If you have more, you don't have to rush to repair, the key is that the people of the world are happy first, simple and economical. ”

Yuroe said, "It doesn't cost a penny, and some people can't afford to pay taxes so they go into the palace to mortgage, which is exactly the day of autumn and winter." ”

Liu Bang smiled again and again, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked Yurowen, "Okay, okay, don't worry, are there any prey around?" ”

"There are some hares and badgers."

"Okay, okay, you go down."

Yu Roe Wen bowed deeply and retreated. Ruyi still shook his head and pouted unhappily, Liu Bang smiled and patted Ruyi's shoulder, "The water is far away, and when it gets dark, are you still going?" ”

Ruyi replied in a dull voice, "When it was dark, you asked me to feed the Xuan Leopard?" ”

Liu Bang laughed out loud, pinched Ruyi's face and smiled, "Ahh ”

Ruyi: "Huh? He glared at Liu Bang with black eyes, and asked in surprise, "There are badgers and hares?" Where, where? Hunt, hunt, go, go. "Run away.

"Come here, where are you going? Get on the horse and look for it. Liu Bang was already standing under the horse and shouted at Ruyi, who was running away, Ruyi immediately stopped and turned around and ran to Liu Bang's side, hugged Ruyi, and got on the horse neatly.

After running forward for a while, I felt a strange movement in the forest, and a shadow passed by rapidly. Liu Bang vigilantly pricked up his ears to observe the movements on both sides, leaned over and said to Ruyi, "I'll teach you to shoot a rabbit in a while." ”

"Where, where? Kids have to shoot themselves. Ruyi said.

"Phewβ€”" There was another long shout, and then it stopped, and the sound of horses' hooves clattering in circles in place was gone. Liu Bang shouted 'shh Suddenly, there was a change in front of me, and the grass creaked. Liu Bang held Ruyi's hand and taught him to draw a bow and aim at the target, while trying to hold his breath to find the direction of the abnormal sound, and suddenly a black-gray badger jumped out of the grass.

"Rapid shooting." As he spoke, the arrows full of bows chased after the badger that was running rapidly, and with a chirp, it stabbed the badger in the waist of the badger, and the badger fell to the ground and fluttered to get up, and a pool of blood suddenly flowed from his waist.

"Wow, I'm hit. Father, father and emperor are so good at archery. Ruyi was happy to be speechless, anxiously dismounted, Liu Bang went down first to hug him down, and Ruyi couldn't wait to run over. Seeing that it was really a black and gray badger on the ground, the badger pricked up his ears, his eyes looked at Ruyi stunned, and his mouth moaned low and complaining like a pleading, and his body trembled.

Liu Bang followed, "How is it?" The badger, yo, it's quite big, and I took it back and gave it to the chef to eat stew. ”

Ruyi smiled at Liu Bang'hehe', squatted down and stretched out his hand to take the badger, Liu Bang quickly stopped, took his hand and said, "Don't move, be careful of biting." ”

"How do I take it back?" Ruyi asked.

Liu Bang pondered for a moment, and whistled loudly, but attracted two people to stop and watch, and not far from them was the crown prince Liu Ying and his attendant Ansheren riding over. As soon as I came to Shanglin Yuan, I heard Liu Bang's whistle, and looked into the distance to see my father and Ruyi's younger brother. Liu Ying and the Anshe people quickly dismounted and stopped with the reins. Seeing that his father was shooting a badger with Ruyi in the distance, the two of them happily closed their mouths and made Liu Ying envious, and the water rippled in their bright eyes. An Delu saw that the prince's face was full of admiration, and at the same time there was a little loss, and the hand holding the reins secretly clenched tightly.

The prince's eyes were calm and hateless, there was no jealousy like a great evil, but there seemed to be a little envy between a little woman, calmly watching the father and the emperor love Ruyi's younger brother in every way, and the laughter of his father and Ruyi's younger brother came intermittently, it was really a joyful wonderland.

"Your Highness, this ......" An Delu frowned and looked at the crown prince who was looking at the emperor and the acting king beside him, and didn't know what to say.

Liu Ying turned her head and smiled at An Delu as if she was comforting, and didn't say anything more, and didn't have any other expressions. After looking at it for a while, he turned his face and stood quietly, then twisted back and pulled the reins for a long time, and said indifferently, "Ansheren, let's go." ”

An Delu exhaled heavily, shook his head helplessly, followed the prince back, turned his head to look at the smiling faces of the emperor and the acting king, and sighed with the word 'sigh'.

I didn't take two or three steps, but I heard Ruyi's transparent and clean voice, "Brother Prince." Ruyi's cry contained a smile.

Liu Ying pretended not to hear and continued to lead the horse, An Delu secretly glanced at the prince, and did not look back to follow Liu Ying.

"Ying'erβ€”" An old voice was again, this time it was his father.

The crown prince immediately stopped, turned around with a faint smile as if comforting, and saw his father standing there holding Ruyi's hand. Ruyi looked at himself innocently and happily, but Liu Bang's eyes seemed to have an emotion that only he and the prince could communicate with each other.

Bending a faint smile, he led the horse to Liu Bang's side, and the horse handed it to An Delu, raising his hands to his eyebrows, "The son sees his father." ”

Liu Bangyue took a step forward to help the prince up, his mouth moved slightly, and he hammered the prince's left shoulder with the usual movements of a man, and handed him a smile like a father and son, and the prince replied.

Seeing that his father and brother saw this strange, Ruyi looked left and right in the middle, tugged at the corner of the prince's clothes, and smiled again, "It turns out that the prince's brother also came to the forest garden to patrol and hunt, I told my father that the prince's brother was studying in the palace and didn't want to disturb my brother, so my father and I came here, what a coincidence, I met you." ”

Liu Ying gave Ruyi a gentle smile, pinched the little brother's face, it was really an innocent little brother, his eyes were so bright and clear, Ruyi took Liu Ying's hand and smiled at Liu Ying. Liu Ying smiled and shook Ruyi, and then moved her gaze to her father.
