Chapter 65: Hunting
Nalan Zhi looked at Yan Hua, who was already sitting down, with a serious expression, as if he was sorry for what had just happened. Since the enemy is not moving, he can only take the initiative to attack, "Come here, give wine to the prince of Chu, come from thousands of miles away, and I didn't entertain him well before." After a slight pause, "Of course, the prince concealed his identity and should punish himself for a few drinks!" ”
The maid's figure was slender, and she walked towards Yan Hua step by step with the wine, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the slightest danger was fleeting, and she immediately regained her respect.
Then Yan Hua slowly got up, picked up the wine glass, and saluted the emperor from afar: "Yes, I should have punished myself with three glasses, but the prince was not welcome!" ”
Three cups neatly, not ambiguous at all. Yan Hua's cheeks were a little red, and she looked like she was drunk, but her eyes were clear. Nalan Zhi smiled again, and then asked very intimately: "The prince of Chu is not strong enough to drink?" I don't know when I will return to Chu? After all, the wine here is quite strong, I'm afraid it is not suitable for your gentle Chu people this time. ”
Hearing this, Yan Hua's face turned pale, and he immediately replied: "No, no, no, this wine is so mellow, it is really evocative." How can I afford to go back? ”
In the eyes of everyone, the two talked and laughed, but they didn't know that an undercurrent was surging, and it had just started......
Yan Hua's eyes drooped, he picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip lightly, raised his head unhurriedly to look at Nalan Zhi, and said slowly: "I heard that there are many beasts here?" Prince Ben also wants to experience the thrill of hunting, how about it? ”
"Where did Prince Yan hear it? It's hearsay, right? There is even less hunting in the country, and naturally there are more beasts, and they are not abundant. Nalan Zhi secretly snorted coldly, and he looked like he was smiling on the surface, but what he actually said had a different flavor.
"Wouldn't that allow these beasts to grow unchecked, and let them plague the lives of the common people? Is this worth it? Yan Hua looked like he was thinking about the people, and his face also showed an emotion of worrying about the country and the people, thinking that this was a great hidden danger.
Nalan Zhi picked up the wine glass with cold eyes, and cooperated with Yan Hua's scene: "What Prince Yan said is reasonable, but I will naturally deal with my country, so you don't have to bother." Although Nalan Zhi said so, everyone knew that there was something in it.
Yan Hua's hand hidden under the sleeve of his shirt clenched tightly when he sat in his position, but he always kept a smile on his face, isn't Nalan Zhi making fun of him being nosy?
"Oh, it's not just a suggestion." Yan Hua held her breath and maintained a gritted tooth smile, "Come, I'll toast you." As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down
"Hahaha, Prince Yan is really bold, I agreed, General! Pick an auspicious day to go hunting! Nalan stopped flicking his sleeves, and the general immediately walked to the center of the main hall, knelt down on one knee, clenched his fists, and said, "The minister's order." With that, he stepped aside.
Yan Hua drank the wine with cold eyes, and there was no trace of emotion on the surface, and he maintained a faint smile the whole time.
Days passed, and when it was time to hunt, several carriages and rows of soldiers were parked outside the palace gates.
Along with Nalan Zhi went hunting, there were the queen, Liu Ruoxin, and Ling Tiange, who was named by the queen mother.
In the large enclosure, tall and short shrubs and birds of all sizes are among them.
It was still early enough for everyone to get out of the car and change their clothes in their tents.
When hunting, you have to walk and ride a horse-drawn bow, and it is natural that you can't wear ordinary robes.
After a short time, Nalan Zhi and Yan Hua had already changed into convenient and comfortable clothes.
Different from the yellow robe in the past, today Nalan Zhi is dressed in a blue shirt, and the lower body is dark pan dragon pants. A belt around his waist, inlaid with jade. His hair was held up high and he looked heroic.
Yan Hua is not lagging behind, and the whole person lined with blue clothes is a lot more elegant.
Seeing that Yan Hua had also changed his clothes, Nalan Zhi looked at Shi Chen and suddenly walked towards him.
"The hour is almost up, let's get ready to hunt now."
Yan Hua smiled when she heard this, her face seemed to be harmless to humans and animals, but a trace of calculation flashed in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, are we the only ones involved in the hunt?"
Nalan stopped hearing and frowned: "Then what does Prince Yanhua think?" ”
Raising his eyes, he looked around at the three concubines standing in the paddock, and Yan Hua lowered his body slightly.
"I think that all of your majesty's concubines are very intelligent, like heroes among women. Naturally, this hunt can also be taken together. ”
As soon as Yan Hua's words came out, everyone in the paddock was shocked, Liu Ruoxin subconsciously looked at Nalan Zhi, and saw that he was already gloomy, and his eyes looked at Yan Hua fiercely.
Prince Yanhua's words praised them too much. It's a bit clever, but how can you participate in such a physically demanding thing as hunting? ”
After a pause, Nalan Zhi turned to Ling Tiange as if he had thought of something.
"This concubine is pregnant now, and such a thing as hunting is too intense."
thought that Yan Hua would get to know each other a little, but I didn't know what his plans were, so he pointed to Liu Ruoxin and the queen.
"Then they can also participate in the hunt."
After hearing this, not only Nalan Zhi's face was black, but even Liu Ruoxin was a little displeased.
However, Yan Hua said this, if you get to the bottom of it, it will definitely have a bad impact.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruoxin hurriedly stepped forward, and Shi Shiran bowed to Nalan.
"Your Majesty, since Prince Yanhua has said so, the concubine will dare to try it once."
After speaking, seeing that the chill in Nalan Zhi's eyes eased a lot, he turned his head to look at Yan Hua again.
"Prince Yanhua, although I am just a concubine, since I have been praised by you, I can't accept it for no reason. I only have participated in the hunt, and the queen is the mother of the world, so it is not appropriate to do these things. ”
After Liu Ruoxin finished speaking, the queen standing behind her silently breathed a sigh of relief.
She has never been so strong, and she can't participate in such a thing as hunting. When he heard Yan Hua's proposal, his lips turned white.
Liu Ruoxin, who was standing beside her, naturally saw the queen's strange appearance, since the other two people could not participate, this Yan Hua had no momentum to relax, so she could only bite the bullet.
Listening to Liu Ruoxin's words, Yan Hua frowned slightly, and the anger in his eyes was almost imperceptible. thought to herself: When she said this, doesn't it mean that it is not the queen's turn to come out in this matter?
Although Yan Hua was unhappy in his heart, his face was still flat, and he only nodded lightly to be regarded as agreeing.
Since this is the case, Nalan Zhi didn't say anything anymore, only lowered his eyes and looked at Liu Ruoxin softly.
"It's hard for you, go change your clothes."
Liu Ruoxin bent her eyes and smiled, and then said goodbye to everyone and entered the tent.
