Chapter 173: Your Majesty summons
On the second day, everyone else entered the paddock to hunt under the leadership of the prince, only Jiang Yunhua did not go, and watched Hua Rong ride a horse and shoot arrows in the school field.
In the evening, everyone returned with a full load.
The prince hunted the most prey, and Emperor Showa was very happy, and ordered the imperial chef accompanying him to dispose of all the prey and hold a bonfire feast at night.
The dinner was set up near the horse farm, a fire was set up on the ground early, and the accompanying imperial chef was directing the palace people to cook the game, and the air was filled with the smell of good meat.
As soon as they sat down, Emperor Showa arrived with several princes.
Because the prince hunted the most prey, he accepted the compliments of everyone all the way, and smiled very proudly.
After the dinner began, Emperor Showa gave rewards to the top hunters, Li Yi's riding and archery skills were not good, and he only hunted two rabbits, ranking at the bottom, and he didn't catch anything.
There were not many female dependents accompanying him this time, Hua Rong and Li Xiangling sat together, and heard Li Yi whispering to Jiang Yunhua: "If you and your eldest brother didn't participate in the hunt, how could it be his turn to be in such a limelight." ”
This "he" refers to the crown prince.
Ever since the prince favored the side concubine and snubbed the princess, Li Yi didn't like the prince anywhere.
Jiang Yunqi didn't answer, saw that the wind was blowing, and asked Hua Rong: "Is it cold?" ”
Hua Rong shook her head, Jiang Yunhua was still not at ease, grabbed Hua Rong's hand and tested the temperature, making sure that she was really not cold before giving up.
Li Yi took in the small movements of the two, shook his head helplessly, and swallowed back all the gossip that came to his mouth.
Yes, his brother will die sooner or later in this life on the word love.
Jiang Yunhua didn't answer Li Yi's words, but Hua Rong listened to them.
In this spring hunt, Emperor Showa intends to select people who can fight against the Yuexi warriors at that time, and the prince actually doesn't need to be in the limelight.
And judging from Jiang Yunfei's posture of correcting the prince yesterday, the prince's riding and archery skills are not very good now, how can he hunt more prey than Wu Zhuangyuan?
Hua Rong was feeling strange, and Emperor Showa suddenly asked Jiang Yunhua: "I saw that Ah Huan's riding and archery skills were very good yesterday, why is he not on the list today?" ”
Without waiting for Jiang Yunhua to answer, Li Yi preemptively said: "Your Majesty is really discerning and observant, Ah Xiao is not on the list, but he did not participate in the hunt at all, because the Queen Mother asked him to protect the county lord closely, and he must not leave half a step!" ”
This is not a big deal, and the Queen Mother did not consult Emperor Showa when she gave the order.
Emperor Showa was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The palace is very safe, there are people on duty everywhere, and the queen mother is too fussful." ”
"That's right, Ah Hao is a Zhonglang general personally appointed by His Majesty, and it would be a pity to just revolve around the county lord."
Li Yi immediately answered, and Emperor Showa thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow, Ah Xiao will also go hunting, it's not easy to come here, don't hold yourself back." ”
After Emperor Showa finished speaking, the prince's face changed, and he said anxiously: "Father, everyone has seen Ah Hao's riding and archery skills yesterday, where do you need to prove it through hunting?" ”
The prince said in a hurry, obviously not wanting Jiang Yunqi to participate in the hunt.
Li Yi said disapprovingly: "Brother-in-law is already a big step ahead of others today, if it is still like this tomorrow, what's the point, doesn't brother-in-law think it's more challenging for Ah Hu to join in?" ”
The relationship between the crown prince and the crown princess has long been broken, and Li Yi's brother-in-law's call made the prince feel very angry, but in front of Emperor Showa, he can't help but give Li Yi face.
I could only reluctantly say: "This is not what this palace meant, this palace is ......"
"Alright," Emperor Showa interrupted the prince and clapped his head, "Tomorrow Ah Xiao will join the hunt." ”
Emperor Showa made a decision, the prince could only agree, Li Yi was happily ready to watch a good show, but Jiang Yunhua was not shocked.
Back at the place where he lived, Jiang Yunhua sent Gong E out and told Hua Rong carefully: "I'm going to hunt tomorrow, you don't have to move around, if there is anything, you can go to Li Xiangling or go directly to my eldest brother, he is temporarily the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and he will always be here to guard it." ”
"Okay."
Hua Rong responded, Jiang Yunqi was still not at ease, and asked again: "Do you have the dagger?" ”
"Bring it," Hua Rong nodded, and seeing Jiang Yunqiu's suspicious face, she had to say, "I tied it to the inner thigh with a strip of cloth." ”
As a last resort, Hua Rong will not take out the dagger, and it is inconvenient to take it out.
Jiang Yunhua stared at Hua Rong for a moment, looked away uncomfortably, and asked again after a while, "Do you want to raise rabbits?" I can catch a rabbit and bring it back to you. ”
The two rabbits that Li Yi hunted were very cute, Li Xiangling was very happy to ask for one to raise, and Jiang Yunhua guessed that Huarong should also like it.
Jiang Yunqi's face was tense and he couldn't see anything, but he had some expectations in his heart, hoping that Hua Rong would accept his goodness.
However, Hua Rong did not go as he wished, shook his head and said, "I don't like pets." ”
She turned out to be Jiang Yunqiu's pet, and the kind of days without freedom and relying on people were too depressing for her, and she didn't want to impose these on other people or things.
Jiang Yunqi was a little lost, and asked again: "What about the others?" ”
He didn't have much confidence in asking, and unconsciously flattered with a little caution.
Hua Rong paused for a moment, but he didn't relent, and said coldly: "I live a good life now, I don't lack anything, if I have anything I want, I can buy it myself, and I won't bother Zhonglang General." ”
Hua Rong and Jiang Yunqi skimmed very cleanly.
The light at the bottom of Jiang Yunhua's eyes went out, and he was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, then tell me when you need it." ”
Early the next morning, Jiang Yunhua went into the forest to hunt with the prince.
Hua Rong was bored alone, and wanted to go to Li Xiangling to hang out together, but as soon as she went out, someone from the palace came to her and said, "County Lord, Your Majesty wants to see you." ”
As soon as Jiang Yunhua left, Emperor Showa came to summon him, which was a bit too coincidental, Hua Rong looked at the visitor vigilantly and said, "I haven't seen you in front of the emperor, how do you know if what you said is true or false?" ”
The person who came didn't expect Hua Rong's defensiveness to be so strong, and he was stunned for a moment and said: "The slave is indeed here to spread the word on the order of His Majesty, and the false transmission of the holy call is a serious crime of the nine clans, and the slave will never dare." ”
"I won't go with you if I don't have any evidence."
The person who came had a bitter face, but he didn't dare to do anything with Huarong, so he had to turn back, and not long after, Jiang Yunfei followed the man to see Huarong and said, "It's true that Your Majesty wants to see the county lord." ”
Hua Rong then followed the people of the palace to see Emperor Showa.
The palace people ran a little longer, and couldn't help but whisper: "How many people can't see Your Majesty, but the county lord is suspicious, if it weren't for Lord Jiang who happened to be patrolling nearby, the slave was afraid that he would be scolded to death by the chief manager." ”ap.
This person is not wrong to complain, Hua Rong was about to apologize, Jiang Yunfei said in a deep voice: "Be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, the county lord has just returned to the palace, and he is not familiar with the people in the palace, so it is appropriate to ask a few more words, such a careful mind is not something that anyone can have." ”
Hua Rong swallowed the words to his mouth, and the corners of his lips unconsciously rose a little.
