69. Autumn Hunt

Every autumn in the Great Yu Dynasty, autumn hunting was held. After all, the world of Dayu was defeated, and such a tradition is also to express the royal family's emphasis on martial arts. It's just that today's Dayu is long different from the original. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, adhering to the concept of "fighting the country with force and governing the country with culture", the founding emperor began to vigorously support civilian officials. With the gradual stabilization of the country's rule, the malaise of "emphasizing civil affairs over military force" has become more and more serious, and until now, the imperial court is almost dominated by civil officials. Hunting has also become a formality.

However, the pomp and circumstance of hunting has not decreased. On this day, all the royal relatives and relatives, civil and military officials, must go with their families. It's just that because of the different levels, the people who need to carry are different.

The atmosphere of Dayu is open, and women are allowed to go hunting together. Therefore, early in the morning, Jiang Shuyao and the others set off for the hunting ground.

"Sister Huo." Huo Ying was dressed in a red riding suit today, dazzling like a burning flower. Jiang Shuyao couldn't help but laugh: "Sister Huo is really good-looking." I still remember the red she wore when I first saw Huo Ying. Jiang Shuyao felt that Huo Ying should be enthusiastic and public.

"Yo-yo." Huo Ying smiled helplessly. She involuntarily glanced behind Jiang Shuyao, and when she saw that there was no one, she quietly withdrew her gaze.

"Hey, hey."

Jiang Shuyao noticed that many men around him were pretending to look at Huo Ying casually. She was inexplicably a little proud. However, after being proud, I thought, where did the stinky men come from, how could they see that her sister Huo was so good-looking? Wait a minute...... Jiang Shuyao quietly glanced at Jiang Huai with his spare eyes, but found that the person had long since disappeared. Jiang Shuyao: ......

Brother, Sister Huo is so good-looking, if you don't start again, you will have to cheapen others.

However, what she didn't know was that Jiang Huai, who had successfully joined her friends on the side, was rarely a little distracted.

"Yu Zhi," while chatting, Jiang Huai's gaze drifted away from time to time, and Ming Yuding was a little curious: "Why are you so unfocused today?" "Yuzhi is Jiang Huai's word.

"No problem." Jiang Huai moved his gaze back and did not answer, but asked Ming Yuding: "Zicheng, do you have a marriage?" "He didn't have any idea about family affairs. It's just that I may have heard my mother mention it too much, and I'm always a little restless these days. Moreover, it seems that only in certain moments......

"Not really." He is one year younger than Jiang Huai, and he is not in a hurry about family affairs. Besides, he had little interest in them.

"No wonder. Like you, with a straight face all day long, looking cold, you must not like girls. Jiang Huai shook his head helplessly.

Ming Yuding: ? ......!!!

Ming Yuding's face has always had few emotional fluctuations, and although he is a fellow brother and his mother, the two faces are also very similar, unlike his brother Ming Yuchen, who has his own smile, Ming Yuding is always expressionless, so he was not less said by Ming's mother.

"Who said that?" Ming Yuding was a little unconvinced. As if to argue his words, as soon as Ming Yuding's words fell, he heard a girl's voice: "Brother Yuding." ”

Ignoring the dissatisfaction with the "followers" in the past, Ming glanced at the stagnant Jiang Huai provocatively, with a faint smugness in his eyes. When he faced the girl, he looked unwavering: "What's the matter?" ”

"Brother Yuding, can you give me a rabbit today? Please. "The little girl is about eleven or twelve years old, the same age as flowers. She was coquettish to Ming Yuding, if it was an ordinary man, she couldn't wait to agree.

But it was Ming Yuding who was puzzled: "Why? ”

The little girl is the granddaughter of Zhenguo Gong, surnamed Ning, and her name is Ning Jiaojiao. She grew up with Ming Yuding and is a childhood sweetheart. When she was a child, she especially liked to stick behind him, but now that she has grown up, she has only restrained herself.

"Can you lend me a rabbit and I'll buy you candy?" Ning Jiaojiao talked to him about the conditions seriously.

Ning Jiaojiao has only one younger brother, she is still young, and she really can't learn to shoot arrows, every time she has an animal she wants, she can only ask Ming Yuding. Though...... In fact, any guard with strong martial arts in her house can do such a thing.

Growing up, Ming Yuding actually doesn't like candy people anymore. It's just that although he showed reluctance, he finally agreed: "Okay." If you talk about it, you have to remember to buy me a candy man. ”

Ning Jiaojiao was naturally delighted: "I naturally won't forget it." She told him uneasily: "If you want to live, it's better to be a smaller rabbit." ”

Ming Yuding frowned slightly, impatient: "I know." It's just that there is not much impatience in the tone, but it is very serious.

After the people left, Ming Yuding casually mentioned: "What did Brother Jiang just say?" ”

Jiang Huai: ...... Inexplicably sad.

He slowly arched his hand: "Excuse me, farewell." ”

The autumn hunt was about to begin, and everyone's eyes were focused on the emperor and queen on the high platform.

The emperor of Dayu is only in his forties this year, and he is healthy because of his attention, and he is not obviously old. And because of today's hunting, the emperor deliberately changed into a military uniform, and he looked like he was young and strong. However, only Jiang Shuyao knew that in a few years, the emperor would be hollowed out of his body due to his addiction to wine. Later, it reached the point where the crown prince was needed to supervise the country.

And the queen ...... The queen is very well maintained, and from a distance, it looks like a twenty-year-old girl's house. At this time, she was looking at the courtiers below with Her Majesty, with a slight smile on her face, and she was in the style of a mother.

It's just that, judging from the fact that she forced the prince Xue Qiong to marry Huo Ying, and helped cover it up after knowing what the prince did to Huo Ying, no matter how gentle the queen looked, Jiang Shuyao didn't like her.

Oh, by the way, Sister Huo! Pinching his fingers, now that the prince has reached the age of marriage, the queen is almost going to target Huo Ying. Her sister Huo is so dazzling today, so she shouldn't be noticed by the queen.

Jiang Shuyao tiptoed to look, and saw that the emperor had never noticed this, so he carefully moved Huo Ying with him, and covered Huo Ying with the people in front of him.

Huo Ying: ......?

Although she was puzzled, Huo Ying obediently followed Jiang Shuyao's movements. When she stopped, she asked softly, "Yoyo, what does this mean?" ”

Jiang Shuyao shook his head mysteriously: "Sister Huo, you don't understand. It's safer here. ”

Huo Ying couldn't cry or laugh. This is a hunting ground, and the royal guards have long fenced it off inside and out, so how can it not be safe?

The crown prince Xue Qiong stood beside the emperor, and the other princes had some distance from the prince. It's almost a blatant preference.

According to the original plot, the prince should have seen Jiang Shurou for the second time at this time, and he never forgot her. It's just that because of her injured foot, Jiang Shurou didn't go out for several days. In a sense, this is a good thing.

It's just that you have to be careful after all.

With a horn, the autumn hunt officially kicked off.
