Chapter Seventy-Three: Spring Hunt (2)
The three of them talked together, and when they were tired, they went to a tree and sat down on the ground. Chu Xuanhua looked at Ling Miao's face that was very similar to that of her friend in her memory, and her heart was sour, so she looked away, looking at the overlapping mountains in the distance, her expression was empty, and she was a little helpless that she had never felt before.
At this time, spring has become stronger, the sky is clear and lovely, and the sunset dyes the sky red like a flowing fire. Occasionally, a few homing birds pass by, leaving only a remnant.
"Hey, if you don't like the one in the Dingguo Mansion, just tell the old county lord. She loves you so much, how can she be willing to let you do this? "Cen Yuan and Chu Xuanhua are the same age, even if they are very arrogant on weekdays, they are not stupid, of course, they can see that Chu Xuanhua is absent-minded these days. However, she was stationed in the border city with her father before, and she didn't know that the Chu Wei family had the idea of marrying each other.
Chu Xuanhua shook his head gloomily. She is loved by her grandmother, and she is the first of her granddaughters in her grandmother's eyes, but this love is far worse than that of the Duke of Chu. In my grandmother's heart, it was more important than anything else to keep the Chu Mansion left by my grandfather.
"Where is that simple?" Chu Xuanhua sighed and pinned the hair on her sideburns that was blown by the evening breeze behind her ears, "Self-girl, who can make their own marriage?" Most of them are the words of the matchmaker of the parents. Girls like us were born to be sheltered by their families and enjoy all the glory and wealth. When you grow up, you will naturally have to give up some of your children's affection for the family. ”
Cen Yuan disagreed with her words, and raised her voice: "I don't like to hear you say this." Wouldn't you marry the person from the Dingguo Mansion, and you won't be able to do it in your family? It's obviously safe and stable, but it's not to get married, I really don't know what you think! ”
After saying that, he turned his head angrily.
Chu Xuanhua was not angry, on the contrary, she was very envious of Cen Yuan's bright and refreshing character. However, she can only be envious. She was raised since she was a child, and everything should be family-oriented.
Looking at the busy team of guards in the distance, Chu Xuanhua suddenly shook and stood up.
"What's wrong?" Cen Yuan was startled, and hurriedly got up and grabbed Chu Xuanhua's arm and asked.
Chu Xuanhua bit her lip and didn't speak, only looked eagerly into the distance. Ling Miao also got up and looked at Chu Xuanhua's line of sight, but saw nothing except the twilight sunset.
"Sister Chu, what's wrong with you?" Cen Yuan likes to get to the bottom of things, "Have you seen an acquaintance?" ”
"Nope!" Chu Xuanhua subconsciously shouted. Just now, the back flashed, and it was clearly ...... No, it can't be him!
Chu Xuanhua's heart was tumbling like a stormy wave, how could it be Wei Zifeng? Even if he escaped the pursuit of the Dragon Forbidden Lieutenant, how could he appear in the spring hunt?
She covered her pounding heart and said with difficulty: "I'm a little tired, I want to go back and rest first." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Cen Yuan and Ling Miao, and he looked like he was running away.
Looking at her stumbling back, Cen Yuan muttered, "This, what's wrong?" ”
Ling Miao looked thoughtfully in the direction that Chu Xuanhua was looking at. I don't know if it's her delusion, but there seems to be someone staring at her over there......
The spring hunt had not yet begun, and no banquet had been arranged for the evening of this day - after all, the emperor was also tired and needed a rest.
"Miss, you say, who will be the first to hunt the prey tomorrow?" Although Mu Hibiscus has a calm personality, how can she not be excited when she walked out of the Hou Mansion for the first time and came to such a large paddock, and there were the emperor and many princes and princes living not far away?
Lying in the quilt, he leaned sideways and asked Ling Miao.
"Who?" Ling Miao closed her eyes, and the corners of her lips hooked, "It's either the emperor or which prince it is." ”
Whether it's spring hunting or autumn hunting, who can be so unsightly to grab the limelight for this first prize? And the first batch of beasts that were released had many deer, taking the meaning of chasing deer in the Central Plains. Who has the audacity to hunt this thing?
So in fact, every year is a similar trick, if the emperor is interested, it is naturally his first hunt - even if the arrow is not accurate, isn't there other masters secretly helping? However, the emperor was different from Emperor Wu, Shang Wen was disgusted with martial arts, and Ling Miao followed him to participate in several spring hunts and autumn hunts, and he only saw him shoot once. In the remaining few times, either the second prince came out on top, or the seventh prince Xiao Qian.
The next day, when it was just dawn, a horn sounded outside, and Mu Hibiscus turned over and sat up, hurriedly serving Ling Miao to freshen up.
Ling Miao looked at the several brand-new riding outfits she shook out of her baggage, and pointed to a bright red one, "This is it." ”
Before the clothes were dressed, a young woman's voice rang out outside: "Miss Ling, has you ever gotten up?" The slave and maid brought breakfast. ”
Breakfast?
Ling Miao looked at Mu Hibiscus and motioned for her to come over and take a look. Hibiscus nodded, opened the curtain and went out, leading a maid in green clothes in a moment later.
The maid looked like she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, her appearance was very outstanding, her skin was white and beautiful, if she wasn't wearing the clothes of a maid, some people would believe that she was the daughter of a house.
"Hello Miss Ling." The maid goddess looked respectful, "Subordinate Qingyun, according to the words of my lord, come to deliver breakfast to the young lady." ”
As he spoke, he put down the tray in his hand, and unexpectedly a team of maids waiting on the side came in and put down the food boxes in their hands.
Although she didn't say which prince it was, Ling Miao saw that her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and when she entered the door, she walked with a steady foundation, and there was no sound for half a minute, so she knew that she must have kung fu. A girl with such a bearing, and claims to be a subordinate, except for Xiao Li, who else can call it out?
"Thank you for me, you prince, you have a heart."
Qingyun saw that Ling Miao was not flattered at all, but there was a faint surprise in his heart. You must know that Xiao Li, the king of Yijun, no matter how terrible it is, what Tiansha Lone Star kills people like hemp, and what has a bad spirit of self-denial, but the name of the god of war and the appearance of a heavenly man are enough to make all women in the world flock to him.
If anyone can get the blue eyes of the county king, they are afraid that they will laugh in their dreams.
But this Miss Ling didn't seem to pay attention to it at all. Before she heard Qianjun say that the prince of the county seemed to be extremely interested in the young lady of the Marquis of Wuding's mansion, and she was still a little unconvinced in her heart - a person like the prince, what kind of woman in the world can't get it? The reputation of the Hou Ling family in Wuding is not very good.
Just this time, this Miss Ling, I'm afraid there is really something different, right?
While pondering, she felt a chill on her body, and raised her eyes, but saw Ling Miao's cold eyes looking at her, and there was clearly no dissatisfaction in her eyes, but she couldn't help but feel chills on her body.
"The subordinates have trespassed, please punish Miss Ling!" Qingyun bowed down. She grew up in the army, although she looks like a flower, her personality is extraordinarily atmospheric, not as greasy and crooked as ordinary women. Just now, she stared at Ling Miao, naturally she crossed the rules, and immediately apologized, without the slightest reluctance.
Ling Miao tilted her head to look at her and smiled, "Miss Qingyun, don't be like this, you are under the command of the prince, have you ever been on the battlefield?" ”
She didn't ask this without purpose, but at the moment when Fang Cai Qingyun put down breakfast, she saw the thick cocoon on the tiger's mouth on the girl's right hand, and she thought that she was used to holding weapons.
Speaking of this, Qingyun also smiled, and raised two rather heroic eyebrows, "Yes, I once went to the battlefield with the prince to kill the enemy." ”
"She's a heroine too."
Qingyun was even more happy when he got such a sentence, and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Miss Ling for the compliment." The prince said that the young lady was in the paddock for a few days, and we would protect the young lady. ”
"We?"
Qingyun clapped his hands, and the sound of armor outside, a team of six female guards in bright colors came in from outside, all of them were dignified, compared to the nobles of the high-ranking families in the capital, there was another kind of arrogance.
This......
"These sisters are all women's soldiers who fought with the prince in the West Sea. Now that the prince has returned to Beijing, the newly arrived general can't allow us women to be in the army, and our sisters have nowhere to go, so they come back with the prince. ”
There is some moisture in Qingyun's words, she is the same as Qianjun, she is not in the military system, and she was cultivated by Xiao Li as a secret guard since she was a child. It's still a little different from this team of female soldiers.
Ling Miao had never heard of the fact that there were still female soldiers in this dynasty.
When Taizu fought the world, his sister Princess Lingyang once built female soldiers to guard the pass and kill strong enemies, and made a war horse contribution to Taizu. Ling Miao heard her grandmother mention the story of Princess Lingyang in the past, and she only felt that her heart yearned for it, thinking that it must be a person who is heroic and proud of the world.
I didn't expect to see female soldiers now!
She looked at the women with the weathered faces and couldn't help but admire.
