Eighty-eight, the eve of the hunt
88
"Mingyue thanked Concubine Duan!"
Chu Mingyue smiled excitedly as if a flower had bloomed on her face, this concubine's idea was exactly what she wanted. She came on behalf of her father this time to take advantage of the hunting competition to observe the princes of Beilan Kingdom.
If you want to completely annex Beilan Kingdom, the premise is that there must be a prince who is qualified for the throne, and her task is to make that prince like her, and when the prince marries herself, then Beilan Kingdom is not worth mentioning at all for Cangyu Kingdom.
After Chu Mingyue said goodbye to Concubine Duan, she carefully planned her plan, if she wanted to ascend to the sky in one step, it might be too difficult, but she was still very confident about her posture and appearance, she wanted to slowly soak into the hearts of the princes, so that they would be obsessed and crazy about it.
"Concubine Duan, the old slave didn't expect that the news of this Mingyue princess came from is a big taboo for you."
Mama Xian cleaned up the broken tea cups on the ground, and the fragrant tea leaves were messy. Duan Liniang let out a sneer in her nose, and a mocking smile appeared on her face, "She has put a lot of effort into it." ”
Mama Xian had already put away the broken cups, and the ground was clean again, Duan Liniang waved her long sleeves, lay on the bed again, and Mama Xian quickly covered her with a thin futon.
"It's a pity that it was used in the wrong place."
Duan Liniang quietly spit out the last sentence, and slowly closed her eyes again, Xian Mama looked at her delicate side face, and suddenly felt a lot of emotion in her heart, the original ruthless years will also turn her from an innocent woman to a woman step by step.
All this, she was also forced to do so.

The palace seems to be a lot more lively, the little palace maids everywhere, the little eunuchs' faces, all have happy expressions on their faces, it turns out that the hunting competition is approaching, and they can go out of the palace to play and see the world.
Above the court, it seems that the hunting competition is also being discussed, but it does not go smoothly as expected.
"Why didn't the second prince go to court today?"
Gu Yi knocked on the desk, with anger on his face, none of the ministers dared to speak, Gu Xuan's eyes rolled and he stepped forward.
"Father, my son only saw the imperial brother in the outer palace a few days ago, I don't know what the imperial brother has been busy with these days, and he didn't even come to the court."
Gu Xuanse added fuel and vinegar, and glanced at Gu Yi's expression from time to time, Gu Yi was really angry, "These two princes are simply becoming more and more presumptuous!" ”
Gu Xuanse had a smug expression on his face, and Ling Yu handed him an appreciative look.
Gu Xuanse paused, and then continued, "When the two of us met a few days ago, the imperial brother also swore that if he wanted to win the leader of this hunting competition, he must have been stepping up his practice these days. ”
As soon as these words came out, Gu Yi's anger also dropped slightly, and he cleared his throat, "I also discussed with the ministers last time, and Cang Yu promised to make friends with my country, but the premise is that I marry my country's prince." ”
There was not much turmoil under the court, because it was mentioned last time that the prince was going to marry Princess Cangyuguo, but as for which prince he was with, it was not known yet.
"Princess Cangyuguo, I have been in my country for many days."
This sentence is the key, not only the ministers of the court, but even Gu Xuanse was shocked in his heart, this Cangyu Kingdom is too fast, right? He originally thought that the Cangyu Congress would propose a marriage in the spring of the following year, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Gu Yi looked at their reactions, and there was not much expression on his face, this reaction was already expected, but Gu Yi frowned slightly, this Gu Ruobai was not there, and what he wanted to explain was completely unnecessary.
"The location of the hunting competition is set at Yufeng Mountain, and there will be further notices after that."
Gu Yi was irritable in his heart, and he had no intention of presiding over the early dynasty anymore, and the little eunuch on the side screamed "retreat from the dynasty", and the civil and military officials gradually retreated.
Gu Xuanse deliberately walked slowly, and only when everyone dispersed did Ling Yu approach and come up.
"It's a great opportunity."
Ling Yu lowered her voice and looked around with her eyes, wary of whether there was anyone around.
"Of course I do."
Gu Xuanse clasped his hands around his chest, looking confident, "As long as I win the crown, are you still afraid that I won't get what I want?" ”
Gu Xuanse had a sarcastic smile in his eyes, and Ling Yu immediately understood, "That eldest prince, just let me do this kind of opportunity-making thing." ”
Ling Yu laughed treacherously, the two hit it off, and laughed loudly, and the laughter of the two echoed over the white jade steps of the imperial court.

Yu'er and Gu Ruobai practiced in the camp for a few days, and the results of the practice can be imagined, not a single one of them hit the target red heart!
Yu'er was even a little desperate, Gu Ruobai originally wanted to stay in the camp for a few more days and let Yu'er practice a few more times, but she didn't expect Leng Ling to suddenly find her.
Yu'er only learned later that tomorrow was the day of the hunting competition, and Brother Gu had to review the house to prepare.
The three of them went back to the Gu house together, only to find that Yi Changfeng had been waiting in the main hall for a long time, and when Yu'er saw Yi Changfeng, she was obviously a little surprised, but since there was not much intersection before, Yu'er just nodded amicably.
However, it was also a long wind, with a calm face, which was somewhat unexpected by Gu Ruobai, his reaction was completely different from when Mu Yang saw her in women's clothes.
Yu'er didn't want to disturb their conversation, so she left with Xiao Yu'er in her arms, just in the past few days when she left Gu's house, she missed Xiao Yu'er, Xiao Yu'er seemed to miss it badly, and she didn't plan to come down since she got into Yu'er's arms.
"How?"
Gu Ruobai looked at Yu'er who was walking away, and only then did he say a word, and Yi Changfeng touched his chin, and also looked at Yu'er's back, and suddenly laughed evilly, "Well, that's good." ”
Gu Ruobai ignored him, Yi Changfeng was slightly confused, and then continued, "This sister-in-law is really in good shape!" ”
"Ouch!"
Yi Changfeng was knocked on a big bag on his head, he covered his forehead with his teeth, Gu Ruobai swept away with a cold eye, so frightened that Yi Changfeng didn't dare to squeak, even if the bag on his forehead hurt again, he was nervous and pursed his lips and didn't dare to make a sound.
The third brother's headshot chestnut has grown from a snack to a big one, but so far he has not found a way to match it!
"I'm asking you how things are going over there."
Yi Changfeng rubbed his forehead, glanced at his mouth, and muttered: "Cangyu's dog emperor seems to have noticed it, but Brother Lin Yuan is a little capable, coaxing him around, otherwise this princess wouldn't have been able to come to Beilan so soon, you say, third brother?"
"As long as the person she has a crush on isn't me." Gu Ruobai reached out and touched the jade ring on his other hand, thoughtfully.
Yi Changfeng smacked his lips with disdain, these three brothers seem to be getting more and more narcissistic!
Gu Ruobai swept over with another cold eye, and Yi Changfeng immediately obediently covered his mouth, and said in secret words very interestingly, making a "woo" sound that was almost inaudible.
"Okay, third brother, I'm done!"
Yi Changfeng, who had finished with a "woo", took a deep breath, and almost didn't suffocate himself just now......
"If it's okay, just go back."
Gu Ruobai finally couldn't help it, and gave an eviction order, and Yi Changfeng's eyes glared at the boss, "Hey, third brother, how can you be ungrateful!" ”
Before Yi Changfeng could finish speaking, Gu Ruobai waved his sleeves and was about to leave, leaving Yi Changfeng alone in the main hall roaring.
"Yi Gongzi ......"
Leng Ling couldn't stand it anymore, Yi Changfeng looked at Leng Ling with a sad face, crying with a sad face, wanting to pin his hopes on Leng Ling, he was tired of running around for the information of the third brother, and rushed to the Gu Mansion non-stop, he was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, but the third brother still spoke coldly to him, and knocked him on the head!
If Leng Ling could keep him for dinner at this time, he would definitely ......
"Yi Gongzi, I have to go and prepare the things that my grandfather will use when he participates in the hunting competition, please take care of yourself."
Yi Changfeng's heart fell into the abyss in an instant!
Third brother, it's okay if you don't talk to yourself, and even your family's Leng Ling doesn't leave yourself for a dinner party...... Sadness enveloped Yi Changfeng's body, he sniffed his nose sadly, and glanced at Leng Ling tragically.
Leng Ling was confused, is this son okay?
Yi Changfeng patted Leng Ling on the shoulder heavily, covered his cheek with one hand, and walked out of the main hall with great grief and disappeared into the night.
Leng Ling looked at the thick night and wondered in his heart, should he leave Yigongzi for dinner before leaving?
Gu Ruobai had dinner and was about to hesitate to go to Yu'er, but he didn't expect Ji'er to come to the door first.
"Brother Gu, haven't you slept yet?"
"Come in." Yu'er pushed open the door with a "squeak", it turned out that Brother Gu was practicing calligraphy.
"Brother Gu, you just said before that I might participate in the hunting competition instead of you, but you don't seem to have really told me about this competition."
The brush in Gu Ruobai's hand paused, he slowly put down the pen, and looked at Yu'er, his eyes were deep.
"This is a tournament that all palace nobles can participate in." Gu Ruobai spoke eloquently, and Yu'er listened extremely carefully.
"As long as you hunt a lot, and it is valuable, you will win."
Yu'er suddenly realized, "But why should I follow the game?" ”
"Your value is reflected when I tie with others."
"What do you mean by that?" Yu'er tilted her head, her face puzzled.
"Every boy who participates in the competition can bring a woman to participate, and if the two men are tied, then the woman who wins, the corresponding man wins."
Gu Ruobai patiently explained, Yu'er's train of thought felt like it was clear all of a sudden, so it was!
It turns out that I still have this use!
Yu'er was immersed in this incredible, Gu Ruobai looked at her smiling face, and couldn't help laughing, but what he didn't tell Yu'er was that all the men who brought women to participate hoped to win, and they all hoped that through the emperor's marriage, women would become their wives.
