Chapter 238 The Great Ceremony is coming

"Hahaha! Hahaha! ”

Bursts of laughter rang out in the quiet of the cell.

Bi Yuntao's consciousness returned to reality, he was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth, and from time to time he threw his consciousness into the storage ring to check whether the things were still there.

Bi Yuntao's excited laughter naturally reached the ears of Wang Cell, who yawned and came to inspect, just in time to hear bursts of laughter coming from Bi Yuntao's cell.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, in the middle of the night, did you have any sweet dreams?"

"Huh? Did it make you noisy? The king will pay attention. Hahaha! Bi Yuntao said apologetically. But when I think of what I have extracted, I can't help but want to laugh.

"Uh...... Not really! The head of the prison sneered, "But is there anything good about you, Lord Wang?" I don't know if you can share one or two with me? ”

"Share with you?" Bi Yuntao glanced at him and forced a smile, "This won't work!" Kindness is not enough for the outside world. Hahaha! But Bi Yuntao couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and couldn't help laughing.

"Uh...... Okay. The head of the Wang prison looked at Bi Yuntao, who couldn't help laughing, and said with a sneer, "Then the prince, you have a good rest, Gonggong Gui has ordered, and tomorrow I will urge you to clean the prison." There was a hint of non-superiority in his eyes.

"The king knows! You don't have to come to this king every time. Bi Yuntao waved his hand impatiently, "If you have nothing to do, leave quickly, this king is going to sleep now." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! This is the retirement, do not disturb the rest of the prince. The head of the cell nodded and stepped back.

When he walked away, Bi Yuntao couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, suppressed his laughter and turned into the quilt to make himself laugh. The suppressed laughter coming from the bed seemed a little oozing in this secluded prison.

The head of the Wang cell, who walked away, listened to the weird laughter coming from behind him, and couldn't help but shudder, "King Qi doesn't know what stimulated him, his behavior tonight is really weird." Lao Liu Tou died in this prison today, it is really infiltrating, it is not suitable to stay for a long time, it is better to leave quickly. ”

Then the head of the cell quickened his pace and quickly left the prison.

This night, Bi Yuntao was so excited that he couldn't sleep, he didn't close his eyes all night, he kept shrinking his body in the quilt, and kept making bursts of muffled laughter in the quilt.

Bi Yuntao was originally kind, so as not to disturb others, he could cover his head and make his laughter lessen, but he didn't know that this had the opposite effect. If he kept laughing loudly, at most it would be so noisy that people couldn't sleep, but when he covered his head, the suppressed laughter he let out was very clear in this quiet prison, and it reached his ears like an owl crying out for ghosts, which was extremely infiltrating.

With Bi Yuntao's owl crying, the prisoners in the prison all woke up from their sleep, and one by one with dark circles under their eyes, they cast their loveless eyes on Bi Yuntao's cell.

Bi Yuntao didn't know the situation of these prisoners outside, he shrunk in the quilt and laughed tirelessly, laughing and laughing, laughing a little tired, sleepiness surged into his heart like spring water, he really couldn't bear the sleepiness, so he lay down and fell asleep. The corners of his mouth were filled with a smile, revealing his slightly excited mood at this time.

Time passed one after another, Bi Yuntao was not idle, although the emperor turned a blind eye to his cleaning of the prison, but Bi Yuntao still cleaned the prison with a broom.

He didn't have the courage to disobey the holy decree, after all, this era was centralized, even if the emperor felt a little guilty about him in his heart, every inspection and hygiene was just a routine matter. Then he didn't have the courage to disobey the emperor's holy decree, so he had to compromise and clean the cell with a broom. Of course, how well he cleans up is, in one word, miserable, and purely foolish.

In this way, Bi Yuntao mixed the days one after another in the prison, and more than half a month passed quietly, and the time quietly came to the eve of the hunting ceremony.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, the emperor has decreed that you can get out of the prison after lunch." After Gonggong Gui read out the holy decree, he asked the eunuch who followed behind him to put down the food box in his hand and said with a smile.

After listening to the holy decree read by Gonggong Gui, Bi Yuntao's heart was occupied by unhappiness.

"Let this king go out, go out! Why do you have to wait until the king finishes cleaning before announcing it? And I have to finish my lunch here? ”

"Huh!" Gonggong Gui listened to Bi Yuntao's complaints, with strong dissatisfaction in his tone, and explained with a smile.

"Tomorrow is the hunting ceremony, the emperor means to let you stop a little, take advantage of this afternoon, let the maids in your palace serve you well to bathe and change your clothes, wash away your filth, after all, tomorrow's hunting ceremony you and other princes will attend together, and you will have to go into battle in person."

"Tomorrow's viewers will not only have the emperor present, but even the queen mother and queen will also bring His Majesty's harem concubines and concubines to the scene, and civil and military officials will also go to watch this ceremony together."

"When tomorrow's hunting ceremony is over, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, and Chinese New Year's Eve is a major event celebrated by the whole country, and such an important day is approaching, Your Royal Highness King Qi has just been released from prison, so naturally you must wash away this moldy body."

"Huh?" Hearing Gui's story, Bi Yuntao seriously doubted that his ears had heard it wrong, "How can there be a matter of this king in the hunting ceremony?" ”

"This is the rule set by the ancestors, every year when the hunting ceremony comes, all the princes who are not ordered to do things for the emperor must participate."

"In the early years, the imperial court had been fighting constantly, and the purpose of the ancestors to set up this hunting ceremony was to check the strength of the princes. Until the war subsided over the years, this hunting festival became a fun show before Chinese New Year's Eve. But the rules for allowing the princes to participate have not changed. ”

Bi Yuntao suddenly realized and nodded clearly. But I was still a little dissatisfied in my heart, but I didn't do anything more, and the matter had come to this point, so I had to participate in it.

"Of course, there is also a competition in the hunting ceremony." Gonggong Gui stood aside and continued, "The winner can get the emperor's reward, and the last prince not only does not have any reward, but also receives the emperor's punishment. ”

"Let's go!" Bi Yuntao's hand softened, and a piece of meat fell into the bowl, "Grandpa Gui, can you finish the matter in one breath next time?" Can you not gasp for breath? So that now the king doesn't even have the heart to eat. ”

"Hehehe!" Grandpa Gui laughed.

"Is there anything else to look out for? While the king is still patient, hurry up and explain it clearly. Bi Yuntao angrily glanced at the embarrassed and sneering father-in-law Gui.

"As the name suggests, the hunting ceremony is to go hunting in the royal hunting ground, and the hunting ground is full of wild birds and beasts, so His Royal Highness King Qi, you must pay attention to safety, and don't let yourself be injured because of blindly pursuing rewards."

"You're stupid to be the king!" Bi Yuntao said angrily, "Anyway, there are four people, this king only needs to protect three and fight for two." ”

"The third prince has a leg disease and is unable to participate in the hunting ceremony, so the emperor authorized him to watch from the sidelines."

"Isn't it only the eldest prince, the second prince, and this king who participated?" Bi Yuntao said.

"Yes, only His Highness competes with the other two princes." Gonggong Gui nodded, and glanced at Bi Yuntao with a strange look, "The second prince has served in the army, although the eldest prince has never entered the army, but after all, he is His Majesty's sister-in-law, and he has learned some riding and archery skills under the guidance of the emperor since he was a child, so the eldest prince also has some ability." ”

"Over the years, it has been the eldest prince and the second prince who have been competing for the first place. As for the three princes, their grades are stable. ”

"Wait!" Bi Yuntao interrupted Gonggong Gui's words, "You don't think that only this king is punished by the emperor every year!" ”

A wry smile appeared on Gonggong Gui's face, "Your Royal Highness King Qi, your thinking is really sharp. ”

"Are you complimenting the king or are you making fun of the king?" Bi Yuntao looked at the smiling Father-in-law Gui and wanted to kick him hard. Even if it's his smile with bitterness.

Gonggong Gui shrunk his neck, turned his head to the side weakly, and didn't dare to face Bi Yuntao.

When Bi Yuntao saw his action, his eyes were fixed, his face was full of anger, and he stared at him unkindly.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, the Miscellaneous Family has also finished reading the Holy Decree, and the miscellaneous family has finished telling what should be told to you, and the miscellaneous family will retire first." didn't care about Bi Yuntao, and hurriedly escaped from this prison with the eunuchs on the side.

"This Grandpa Gui shouldn't be a dog! Just know how to run! Bi Yuntao picked up the chicken leg and bit it hard, as if the chicken leg in his hand was Father-in-law Gui.

"Well! Forget it, he is a eunuch by the emperor's side, and he may have to rely on him in the future! If the relationship with him is too stiff, the dynamics and thoughts of the emperor in the future can only be guessed. ”

Bi Yuntao comforted himself.

"Hurry up and finish your meal and hurry back to the palace. My Lan Lan is still waiting for me to go back and marry her! ”

Thinking of Lan's well-behaved and forgiving girl, thinking of him day and night, and waiting for him to return home every time he waits eagerly, his heart can't help but soften.

"I don't know how Lan Lan is doing now?" Bi Yuntao ate the delicious food in front of him in his mouth, but he didn't know the taste at all, especially when he thought of the last time Lan came to visit him, when he hugged her, he obviously felt that she had lost a lot of weight than when he first saw her.

"If I go back and find out you've lost weight, I'm going to slap your ass hard!" Bi Yuntao ate a few bites of food, it was really hard to swallow, so he simply threw away the dishes and chopsticks, put the food that had not been touched into the storage ring, and walked out of the prison gracefully.
