Chapter 93
Chapter 92
On the other side, Liu Shuyi is still staring at Chu Mingchen with her eyes.
“You can’t be scared, I tell you that Xiao Amo is my brother, next time I see you bullying him, I have to beat you!” Liu Shuyi said as she waved her small fist.
Chu Mingchen stopped doing it immediately, “Willow branches, in addition to threatening me, you will do more! I want to go back and tell my mother that you bully me every day!”
Yan Mo was stunned. From the lawless little overlord, the style of painting suddenly changed drastically, and he became a arrogant little boy. Everyone had to be stunned.
Yan Yan also recognized who the boy in front of her was right now. She was not unfamiliar with this situation, because she had seen it many times when she was a child, but at that time it was a version with two small carrot heads, now it has been replaced with a boy and girl version.
When it comes to the grudge between Chu Mingchen and Liu Shuyi, it is a long way to go.
In fact, the two are the relationship between aunt and cousin. Liu Shuyi’s mother, Ma Quanfang, is the sister of Chu Mingchen, and the two are the sisters of compatriots. The elder sister married into the Yiyong Hou Mansion, and the younger sister was married into the Ruyang Hou Mansion. The sisters have been in a good relationship since they were young, and naturally they have not faded after marrying.
Chu Mingchen is one year younger than Liu Shuyi, and the two have been playing together since childhood. It’s just that Chu Mingchen has been naughty since he was a child, and Liu Shuyi relied on being a elder sister to teach him. Chu Mingchen was always unconvinced, but unfortunately his unconvinced was repeatedly suppressed. Not only Liu Shuyi pressed him, but even the mother who had always loved him always turned towards this enemy.
The two can be said to be needle-point to Maimang, and every time they meet each other they will quarrel a few words, but most of the time Chu Mingchen is noisy than Liu Shuyi.
The teenager who can play with Chu Mingchen naturally knows Liu Shuyi. Chu Mingchen is considered to be the best in his family and the most domineering of these young people. Liu Shuyi is able to subdue Chu Mingchen, and others are afraid of her.
One of the small round-faced teenagers said, “Sister Shuyi, we really didn’t bully that kid.”
A few young boys nodded like garlic.
Liu Shuyi glanced at them suspiciously, then turned to look at the pitiful little Amo sitting in front of Yan Yan. Her righteous young girl’s heart was finally biased towards the weak, especially Amo looked a little younger than the boys of the same age, and she was completely out of proportion to the tall young men who had eaten a lot of the delicacies of the mountains and seas in front of them.
“A Mo is so obedient, he won’t lie, I just saw you Yang Whip wanted to smoke him!”
Thinking of the situation just now, Liu Shuyi glared at Chu Mingchen again.
The little round-faced teenager explained with a dry smile: “We really didn’t bully him. We just wanted to find an open space to practice equestrianism. He rode on a horse and ran around, afraid of bumping into him, that would drive him out of here. Who knows? ——”
Well, no need to continue, Yan Yan already understands the meaning inside.
It turns out that these are people who are not good at equestrianism, and it can even be said to be extremely poor. In order to avoid hurting the passerby by mistake, I want to drive the passerby farther. Unexpectedly, this passer-by was not too obedient, and the quarrel occurred.
Liu Shuyi ran over with a horse belly, and whispered to Yan Yan: “Well, what? My ineffective cousin is really not good at equestrianism.”
Yan Yan took a funny glance at the embarrassment on her face and smiled, “Okay, since it is a misunderstanding, I will expose it. I haven’t recognized him just now, your cousin seems to have changed.”
When I was a child, he was a small ball with a tiger-headed brain, but when he grew up he became a beautiful boy with a slender figure, with a great contrast.
Liu Shuyi showed a disgusting expression, and then she couldn’t help but smile, “Yeah, after all, it’s not the kid who likes to play with mud.”
The voices of the two of them were extremely low, and they couldn’t hear them clearly.
The tips of Chu Mingchen’s ears moved and moved, and he only heard the vague words “misunderstanding”, “cousin”, and “mud-playing imp”, and his face immediately flushed.
When there is no young and ignorant, why this willow branch always loves to reveal his shortness!
He coughed a few times and said with a serious face, “Cousin, who is your friend?”
Listening to the other party calling her cousin, Liu Shuyi glanced at him as if shocked. Seeing Chu Mingchen’s serious look again, he couldn’t help but think of funny stories when he was a child, and laughed loudly.
“Little cousin, don’t you recognize who she is?”
Chu Mingchen glanced at Yan Yan, his ears became redder, and shook his head.
Liu Shuyi smiled even worse, “Remember that sister A Yan who beat you back then?”
The picture of the memory quickly turned in Chu Mingchen’s mind, and finally fixed on a picture.
Yao Ji back then was a kid who didn’t know anything. His favorite thing to do was to dig mud out of the flower garden and play with mud. Then he went to dirty the little cousin’s flower skirt. He was happy. Laughing.
Once, he tried the same trick again, who knows he accidentally admitted the wrong person and soiled the floral dress of a very beautiful little girl. That little girl is nothing like her own little cousin. The little cousin will only cry if she soils her skirt, or she will complain to his mother. She pressed him to the ground without saying a word. Her small fist became vigorous, and she beat him into crying father and mother.
It was the first time that Chu Mingchen was beaten when he grew up. It was still fresh in his memory. What made him even more embarrassed was that since Willow Branch saw him and was beaten in tears, he also learned this trick.
He remembered that the willow branch called that little girl, A Yan.
Chu Mingchen suddenly felt a sense of dizziness that turned around. Before he could react, he reflexively rode his horse and ran away.
There is no lack of riding skills at the moment, it’s so fast to run.
Yan Yan was stunned, and Liu Shuyi laughed out of breath.
“Hahaha, he is still afraid of you…hahaha…”
The little round-faced boy on the side looked at Yan Yan awkwardly, and said to Liu Shuyi: “Then what, Sister Shuyi, let’s go first.”
After speaking, several teenagers quickly followed.
Only after a while, Yan Yan said helplessly: “Okay, everyone is laughed off by you.”
“I really can’t help it. You don’t know that this kid is used to lawlessness. I have never seen him afraid of anyone in this way.”
“How can you say so exaggerated!”
“Really, I don’t lie to you. I guess he won’t be like this after seeing my uncle.”
Yan Yan shook her head helplessly, shook the whip in her hand, used the whip to loop the reins of Yan Mo’s horse, and then drove Heiyu to the camp, Liu Shuyi hurriedly followed.
…
More and more people rushed to the camp one after another.
There are four camps like this in the entire Mengshan paddock, guarding the royal camp in the center of the camp. The closer you are to the center, the more honorable your status is. On the contrary, the low-level generals and ministers and their families lived in the surrounding areas.
The felt tent of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion is located in the middle, not too far from the center, but not too close to the edge. Most of the people living in the surrounding area are people of similar family background.
You can see more and more young girls walking in groups in groups, most of them in horseback riding outfits, making appointments to play nearby. The ladies in Beijing have never left the door for many years, and only when they are here, can they not pay so much attention to the rules.
When Yan Yan and Liu Shuyi were out to play, they met Wu Qiongqiong once, and she was surrounded by three or four girls of the same age. Yan Yan walked over blindly, but although Wu Qiongqiong didn’t look at it on the surface, Yan Yan could clearly feel that she was stared at her back.
Liu Shuyi pulled Yan Yan, and whispered to her: “Don’t pay attention to her, you don’t know that after that incident, the Wu family pushed everything to that Pei Jiayu, saying that Wu Qiongqiong was affected by Pei Jiayu and your concubine. That’s why they were deceived to do such a thing for a while. In fact, who doesn’t know what’s going on inside, everyone secretly laughs at their Wu family’s desire to cover it up.”
Yan Yan was noncommittal, and she couldn’t interfere with what others wanted.
After that day, the second aunt sent a car to come over, saying that it was a gift from the Wu family, and Yan Yan accepted it without hesitation.
As for the Wu family and Pei family, it was just a dog biting a dog.
Two days before the Yujia arrived, the people from Zhenguo Gongfu arrived.
This time, the wife of Zhen Guo Gong and the three of Shen Ding’s family arrived, and Zhen Guo Gong had two more days. He was accompanied by Sheng Jia.
Shen Yiyao knew that her mother and sister-in-law had come, and did not go to see him, but asked Yan Yan to take Yan Mo to see her grandmother and uncle and aunt.
Seeing this, Yan Ting pretended to persuade her.
Shen Yiyao looked at him with a faint expression: “Didn’t you once said that the married daughter should still be the husband.”
Yan Ting looked a little embarrassed, glanced at Shen Yiyao with complicated eyes, then turned and left.
Shen Qi also came this time.
There is also news that Luo Xiaopang will also come this time.
Yan Yan’s expression was stunned when she heard the news.
One is because of the box last time, so far Yan Yan still feels a little too slow to think of the box. Secondly, Yan Yan also knew the relationship between Luo Xiaopang and the palace, and brought him here as he thought.
But what happened?
This question is also what Luo Huaiyuan is thinking about. After he was recalled to the palace, he carefully observed for a few days but didn’t find any tricks. It seemed that he was called back for Mengshan Qiushou.
But he still remembers that he was ugly on Mengshan Autumn Hunter when he was ten years old. A ten-year-old prince did not even dare to ride a horse. His father changed his color on the spot and his face was full of disgust. He hated him since then. Even more.
But returning to the palace is not without benefits, at least Luo Huaiyuan saw his mother-in-law, Ma Mu, again.
Ma Lai is the same as before. Although he missed his son after he moved out of the palace, he didn’t have to worry about it every day. When I saw my son this time, I was so happy that I didn’t know how to do it well.
In a few days, Luo Huaiyuan couldn’t stand it anymore, because his mother was too wordy, no worse than before. When I didn’t see it, I was panicking about it, and after seeing it, I was panicking again. What kind of tangled mood is this.
Fortunately, after returning to the palace for a few days, he drove to the Mengshan Paddock.
Luo Huaiyuan has always been a little transparent in the palace, and this time he is still transparent.
After he returned to the palace, he still lived in his Xianyun Temple. His cheap father and his nominal mother queen had never summoned him. When going to Mengshan, the people below prepared the frame and came to inform him that he was ready to go. He didn’t bring anyone with him, so he brought a small Anzi.
The two masters and servants are very quiet, so they can do whatever they want, and don’t show up when they’re okay. With outsiders present, Xiao Anzi cooperated with Luo Huaiyuan to act in a scene. All in all, the four princes are as stupid as a pig and as timid as a mouse as they were in the early years.
Empress Xiao felt relieved after receiving the news.
She did arrange Luo Huaiyuan’s return to the palace this time. Although she also had someone in the Four Princes’ Mansion, she always took a look under her nose to feel relieved.
As the two sons of Concubine Xu Gui became adults, Empress Xiao’s sense of crisis is now getting stronger and stronger. She has always been cautious, and naturally she doesn’t want to deal with Concubine Xu’s line, while also guarding against raising a wolf behind her back. Fortunately, the pig is still a pig.
As for the other one, Empress Xiao never looked into it, and Daxi would not allow the future emperor to be a dumb, so the fifth prince was not at all threatening.
The guard of honor of the four princes is next to that of the fifth princes, with two of them in front and one behind. If it weren’t for the dazzling honour of the prince, no one would put these two people together with the first three together.
The second prince is now more and more dazzling. He is handsome, gentle, gentle, gentle, and friendly, and even gradually suppressed the prince’s light. In addition, Xi Di was quite partial to him, and it made people unable to help but imagine.
On this trip, he did not ride in a car like the other princes, but rode a horse with his fellow brothers, the three princes, in a square-collared, fish-scale armor, which was particularly powerful.
Not only the second prince, but the third prince who looked exactly like himself was also very fond of Emperor Xi. The two princes from Xu Guifei took the limelight.
However, few people who can stay in the court for a long time are fools, they are all old folks. Your Majesty is now in his prime of life, and only those who are stupid will start to stand up early. It’s their business to argue about it. They just need to look at it.
It was originally a journey that could be reached in one day, but it took two days to arrive because of the cumbersome travel on the sacred. After a day’s rest, the next night, Emperor Xi hosted a banquet to entertain his neighbors, princes, and relatives.
Concubine Xu Gui came naturally this time too, and accompanied the queen to the side of Emperor Xi. Her seat should be a little lower, even if it is so condescending.
At the bottom left are the princes lined up, and on the right are several important ministers who are close to Emperor Xi. For example, Zhen Guo Gong, Cheng Guo Gong, etc. The next position is the ministers of honor, Xu Guifei’s mother’s family Cheng’en Hou Mansion is naturally also listed, Xu Guifei’s father and brother are in the table.
Emperor Xi was surprised when he saw Luo Huaiyuan, and Empress Xiao did not miss his emotions.
Seeing this, she hurriedly whispered in the ear of Emperor Xi: “The four princes are not too young anymore, and in the end, they are also the sons of your majesty. The second prince is about to get married. This time, Qiu Shou chose a princess for the second prince. Since this is the case, I, the aunt, can’t ignore the fourth prince. Although I’m not young, I’ll help to see each other first. Outside the palace, you can’t even marry a wife in the future.”
Xidi smiled and nodded, and patted the queen’s hand: “It’s still the queen’s virtuous.”
Empress Xiao smiled slightly, very dignified and majestic, “Important Your Majesty said so, this is what the concubines should do.”
The Saint and Empress are harmonious, and naturally no one dares to peek at it. Everyone is focused on the delicacy and wine in front of them, but it does not mean that Xu Guifei, who is sitting on the side, can be indifferent.
Concubine Xu Gui is now at the age of Fenghua Zhengmao, born very delicate and slender, with a pitiful charm in every face and smile.
At this moment, she slightly frowned her willow eyebrows, tilted her body towards Emperor Xi, and softly said, “Your Majesty.”
Emperor Xi straightened his body immediately, leaning towards her, “Ai Concubine, what’s the matter?”
Xu Guifei covered her mouth with her sleeves, smiled softly, and said softly: “The concubine just suddenly remembered that Qi’er asked today if he won the first hunter tomorrow, there will be a reward. You also know that the child waited for tomorrow but waited a long time. Every day, I make trouble with my concubines, saying that I want my father to see his bravery.”
The third prince is sixteen this year. As he grows up, he is getting less and less able to study. On the contrary, his martial arts are excellent. He was strong and mighty, able to ride a horse and shoot arrows at the top, and could block ten at the bottom, which was deeply loved by Emperor Xi.
“Of course there are rewards. Let Qi’er prepare well and strive for the top spot tomorrow. I will definitely reward him heavily!”
Xu Guifei smiled and replied: “Yes.”
The end is tactful and feminine.
Empress Xiao’s face stiffened almost unchecked.
The martial arts of the prince are sparse and common, and everyone knows.
In fact, it is not impossible to let her round. The key is that this woman has been so aggressive recently that she is afraid that she will step on her son with the prince, and tomorrow will make the prince humiliate in front of the important ministers.
Empress Xiao’s eyes passed over the prince sitting in the first place on the lower left. The prince’s expression was not very good. After all, the son was still not restrained enough, and his expression was too leaky. The second prince Luo Jin, with a decent smile on his face at this time, looked extremely decent. Then there was Luo Qi, the third prince, his face was full of excitement, probably looking forward to tomorrow’s hunt.
Then came Luo Huaiyuan, the fourth prince, who hasn’t seen him getting fatter after eating for a few years. Even so, he still kept his hands and mouths in a fierce attack on the delicacies on the table. If it hadn’t been for this person to be summoned by herself, Empress Xiao wanted to help her forehead, so she couldn’t pay a little attention to the prince’s proper manners.
Then she thought, if he could know how to pay attention, she would have been worried.
Finally, Luo Jing, the five princes, was the most beautiful of the five princes, and he was like a person who came out of ink painting.
It’s a pity that he is a wooden person, with no extra expression on his face, and it is still incomplete.
Empress Xiao mainly focused on the four princes, maybe he could block the emperor tomorrow?
Feeling that someone was looking at him, Luo Huaiyuan raised his head to wince at the first one, then quickly lowered his head, still eating in his mouth.
Empress Xiao smiled with satisfaction. These four princes have always been as timid as a mouse. The more crowded occasions, the easier it is to be embarrassed. I hope that tomorrow will not let her down.
From the corner of his eyes, Emperor Xi swept the expression on the queen’s face, holding the wine glass calmly, and taking a sip.
Seeing this, Concubine Xu Gui leaned back to Emperor Xi, and Emperor Chongxi lowered his eyes and smiled softly.
…
Early in the morning before dawn, the entire camp began to move.
Bustling and people coming and going, not only the men got up early, but the women and some girls also got up.
Without him, today is the first hunting day of autumn hunting.
The first hunting day is different from others. The more prey you catch, it means that next year will be the same kind of good luck. It is the time when the water plants are abundant and the animals multiply. It also means that the weather will inevitably change and the weather will be smooth, and the people of the Li people will live and work in peace.
Emperor Xi made a speech yesterday, all children can participate, and whoever takes the first place will have many rewards.
Activities like this kind of autumn hunting have always been the best opportunity to win the eyes of your majesty. The Emperor Xi loves mighty and brave people, and can get a place in this, even if it is the top ten, the future is bound to be limitless.
Many of the children of the honorable family are here to have a good future. Otherwise, there are so many honorable honors in the capital, and the hair should be gray when your majesty remembers.
In addition, Empress Xiao also spoke, saying that women should not let them be shaved, nor should they let those men look down upon us and women. If there are outstanding performances, she will also have rewards.
As soon as this remark came out, many women and girls in the palace were moved.
The queen was naturally to cheer for the saint, but she would certainly not speak empty words. Women are not strong enough, and very few are good at riding and shooting. Even so, hunting rabbits or something can make up the number. It would be extremely glorious if he could get the reward of the Queen Empress, and it would be highly appreciated if he went out in the future.
The Mengshan Paddock is divided into forty-six areas. Some areas are haunted by beasts, and some are harmless small animals. If women want to hunt and play, naturally they also go to this kind of place.
Two days ago, Shen Qi pulled Yan Yan to make an appointment with her to go hunting. His grandfather and father naturally followed the sage, and he could run out to play alone.
Yan Yan couldn’t stand him, so she agreed.
Shen Yiyao knew that if he went hunting, he would naturally have a powerful entourage around him, and he did not raise any objections, but only told Yan Yan to be careful not to hurt herself.
Yan Mo was eager to follow, but he didn’t even ride the horse very well. Yan Yan didn’t take him, saying that when he got good riding skills, he would definitely take him to hunt. After dealing with Yan Mo, another Liu Shuyi came. When Liu Shuyi heard that she was going hunting, she was so excited that Yan Yan must take her with her.
Shen Qi originally wanted to take his sister to have a fun time, but suddenly he added a big burden. She was still a little girl who likes to chat, and her interest was greatly diminished. Yan Yan could only comfort him that it was only the first day today, and there are so many more. God, there was a chance to play, and Shen Qi was happy again.
With the sound of a low and long horn, the men in front of them have dispersed in all directions, splitting out countless teams and galloping away.
In the last inconspicuous place, a team of people was also formed, and it was Shen Qi, Yan Yan and others.
Yan Yan rode a black jade, wearing a fiery red riding outfit, and covered another piece of leather armor of the same color outside. Shen Qi was riding a grey steed horse, and it could be seen from the outside that this horse was of the same breed as the black jade. Yan Mo was still the maroon little mare, also in a simple dress, and then Liu Shuyi, who rode Duoer and brought a follower.
“Chu Mingchen, why are you following me? You are not good at equestrianism, but we went hunting.”
Liu Shuyi patted the quiver behind the horse, with a sense of contentment. She was holding a small bow for women. The bow is exquisitely made, but at first glance it is just to coax the girls to play.
Chu Mingchen glanced at her with disdain, “Your bow can’t even shoot rabbits, you still hunt!”
Liu Shuyi flushed her cheeks with anger, “Who said I can’t shoot a rabbit? I’ll shoot a rabbit to show you later!”
“Then go.”
After the departure, Liu Shuyi realized that she had been fooled by Chu Mingchen again, and she did not say that she would take him! But the person has already followed, can’t push it away, can only keep glaring at each other with his eyes.
There are as many as 20 people in this team. In addition to Yan Yan, Yan Mo, Shen Qi, Liu Shuyi, and Chu Mingchen, there are more than a dozen other guards.
Ma Quanfang knew that her daughter was going hunting with Yan Yan and the young man of the town government, so she asked about the situation. Seeing that there were a lot of people there, she only assigned two guards to her daughter. Chu Mingchen was very bachelor. , It is estimated that he ran out, and brought the boy with the small round face last time.
The two people over there quarreled happily. Here, Yan Yan and Shen Qi are discussing whether or not to go to the area with beasts. With these two live treasures, there are beasts and they were quarreled, or something happened. Matter, but also to protect those two.
Shen Qi disagreed, feeling defeated, the area where the women went hunting, he had also been to the area when he was a child, at most there were rabbits, not even a fox. He also wanted to take this opportunity to hunt more prey, and make fur clothes for his mother in the winter. What’s more, there are so many of them, it is impossible to protect these two people.
Yan Yan thought for a while, and was finally persuaded by Shen Qi.
***
Yan Yan didn’t know that Luo Huaiyuan was making a joke again today.
Now that he has grown up, he is naturally able to ride a horse, but he does not ride very well.
When the horn sounded, everyone rushed out in the first place, only he kicked and shouted at the hip/off horse, the horse just didn’t move, causing a lot of jokes from people passing by.
Hunting is naturally a bit dangerous, so Luo Huaiyuan also accompanied several guards to protect his safety. Seeing that everyone in the other squad had left, only the master they were with was still ink on the spot, and he suddenly felt contemptuous.
Luo Huaiyuan sweated profusely, lowered his head, his eyes quivering.
At that moment he saw the little princess in the back, and naturally he was not worried about hunting at this moment, but he should look for the little princess.
He scolded the horse again, and the horse moved slowly, not forward, but to the left. The guards just wanted to call out that the place was wrong, but Luo Huaiyuan had no choice but to drive away from behind.
Luo Huaiyuan didn’t know the way, so he took the lead and wandered around in the jungle. Although the guards behind complained in his heart, they still followed them with due diligence.
After a long time, even these guards can’t figure out the south, east, north, and west.
Looking for directions with a headache, suddenly a blind black bear stood up in the grass not far away. The blind bear was very tall, fat and strong. The first thing he thought of when he saw people was not running, but rushing over with a roar.
Luo Huaiyuan yelled for help, and ran away on his horse like a puff of smoke from the side. The guards wanted to follow, but were blocked by the black bear blind man. They had to solve it first, and then went to find the fourth prince who had not succeeded or failed. Don’t mention the anger in their hearts.
Luo Huaiyuan ran away in a trot, not to mention how happy he was. It took him a long time to find such a bear den, and he finally got rid of those plague gods.
He turned his horse’s head to find the little princess, then he could see where she was going. Seeing a few pampered guests in the team, thinking that they will definitely not go far, he should be able to catch up if he walks faster.
He pinched the horse’s belly and said, “Xiao Qingqing, you can run faster, or I will find a few wasps to sting your ass.”
The horse with mixed blue and white fur did not know if it understood or what, and no longer saw the laziness, the speed immediately rose.
Luo Huaiyuan cursed with a smile, “You little sao hoof, you have to let Lao Tzu threaten to work, catch up with your princess, and give you good food at night.”
As the horse was running, its ears flicked and its nose slammed, as if disdainfully.
If a horse can talk, it will definitely curse, regardless of how fat you are. This is the brave and mighty me that can move you. If you replace it with others of the same kind, you will kneel directly on the ground balabal… …
Luo Huaiyuan didn’t realize how much burden his weight had added to the horse, and he hummed a little song contentably, wondering how to appear in front of the little princess to be pleasantly surprised.
The so-called pretending to be struck by lightning is nothing more than that.
Luo Huaiyuan only thought about looking for the little princess, but he didn’t realize that he was being spotted by a lone wolf. This situation is not unusual. After all, the place where they haunt is an area with fierce beasts. It is not too unusual for the hungry wolves to hum a little song because of Luo Huaiyuan’s big movements.
He was also quite alert, and reacted when the wolf leaped in the air. With a hard grip on the horse’s belly, the horse flew out, causing the wolf to pounce.
He turned his head and glanced, and screamed sternly, “Xiao Qingqing, you are still lazy this time, and we both have to feed the wolves. I haven’t dedicated my virginity to my little princess. You haven’t found a little princess. Mare, run away—”
