prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 38 Hunting

Linde Hall has always been a palace for banquets for officials or foreign envoys. In just one year, there are five, six, seven or eight times for banquets for officials here. The last time I drank here was during the Mid-Autumn Festival.It has only been half a month now, and all the officials entered the palace wearing new official uniforms.

"The ministers and others see His Majesty the Emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

"The ministers and others will see the Queen of Heaven, a thousand years old."

All the officials bowed down, and Li Zhi and Wu took their seats hand in hand.

"My dear friends, please take your seat."

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor."

Li Si has been favored by Li Zhi and the Wu family since she was a child. Even after she got married, her position in the Linde Palace has never changed. Even Yang Qihan is now sitting with the prince Li Hong and the princess because of Li Si. On the opposite side of Pei's family are his two younger brothers.

"Come on, let me offer you a cup of love."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When the toast was over, a row of dancing girls appeared at the entrance of the hall, dressed in sparrow clothes, twirling with their hands down, dancing in neon dresses like flowers and clouds.

All the people in the hall looked at the dancer's dancing posture, and a few with outstanding melody would clap their hands and beat the beat, blending in.

"Qingluan." Yang Qihan took a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, "Did you see something suitable at the previous banquet?"

"Qihan is curious?" Li Si paused, then raised his eyebrows and looked at Yang Qihan, "Could it be that those two came here to ask?"

"Eh..." Yang Qihan was at a loss for words, she was really curious.

"It is true that there are a few ladies who look good, and A Niang also said that there is no rush, so let's wait and see, and if there are no better ones, I will give them marriages." Li Si didn't continue joking, but said it bluntly.

Yang Qihan nodded and understood.

The choice of the main concubine has not yet been decided, but both Li Xian and Li Xian have Emperor Liang and other maids to serve their bed.

Speaking of Li Xian alone, when he was 15 years old, he had a concubine's eldest son named Guangshun.

When Yang Qihan first found out, he couldn't help but twitch the most. He was 15 years old. In modern times, he is just a kid who goes to school, carrying a schoolbag to school.But there is nothing wrong with having a child here at the age of 15. It is quite normal to be enlightened at the age of 14 and to be a father at the age of 15.The risk is too high, and it is easy to die.

The singing and dancing in the hall did not stop, and all the people chatted happily with wine.

On the [-]th of the same month, Changsun Wuji was ratified and restored to the official rank, and his great-grandson Yi inherited the title of Zhao Guogong, allowing him to bury Changsun Wuji in Zhaoling, the tomb built first by Emperor Taizong.

On the green grass, there are a few horses eating grass leaves. Not far away, three teenagers in hard clothes are playing vigorously with Cuju. "Catch the ball!" Yang Qihan's ball skills have already surpassed Li Xian's. At this time, he is training Li Xian and Li Dan on the court.

"Brother-in-law!" The two brothers responded, and hurriedly raised their feet to catch it, but they didn't want the ball to be slightly higher than the position they proposed, and went straight into the goal.

"You lost." Yang Qihan saw the two fell from mid-air, but he just smiled helplessly, "How long have you been practicing, why are you still making mistakes in the same place?"

"Brother-in-law, your game skills are much better than ours. Besides, you were the Sixth Brother who won on the court back then. Up to now, Sixth Brother still has a grudge and wants to find a chance to compete with you." Li Xian and Li Xian Once they looked at each other, they felt powerless, "Brother-in-law, you have to be careful, Brother Six is ​​practicing these days."

"It's better to practice the skills of riding and shooting at this time." Yang Qihan disagrees. She usually plays cuju with Li Si in the mansion, especially after discovering that Mei Lanmei Xin is also a good player. It's almost two months since we came to the competition once.

"In a while, Aye will drive to the Eastern Capital, and you all have to accompany the driver. I heard from Fifth Brother that Aye intends to hold a hunting competition there, and if he wins, he will be rewarded." Yang Qihan Seeing that these two made their minds on her, she just smiled, and then gave them the biggest news. "I heard from my brother that Aye prepared a special polo stick."

"Brother-in-law, are you telling the truth?!" The two who love polo quickly said, "Could it be that you lied to us?"

Yang Qihan really didn't want to roll his eyes, so he could only restrain his temper and say, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, go ask the prince yourself."

Where did Li Xian and Li Dan dare to go to Shaoyang Courtyard to bother Li Hong for such a thing, they all knew that Fifth Brother was not in good health, if they went to find him for such a trivial matter, they would never dare to disturb his rest.

"Brother-in-law, I heard that he is going to hunt somewhere." Li Xian also wanted to make some achievements, so that Aye and Auntie would know that he and Dan could also be praised for their abilities.

"It's not very clear yet. You'll know when you get to Dongdu." Yang Qihan called the horse attendant and asked him to bring the horses. , let's go, start the horse training session, let's go horseback riding in the suburbs another day."

"Brother-in-law, don't forget."

Yang Qihan smiled and even said that he would never forget it, so the two shut up and went to practice riding and shooting.

As soon as Yang Qihan returned to the mansion, he first went to take a bath and change clothes, and then walked to the princess mansion.

After passing the gate, a father-in-law came to report that Li Si was practicing riding and shooting in the racecourse at this time.

"I've seen the son-in-law."

Yang Qihan's eyes were on Li Si's body not far away, and it took about a few breaths before he asked, "How long has the princess practiced?"

"Back to the son-in-law, the princess has been training for more than an hour."

Yang Qihan asked someone to prepare hot water, and after Li Si finished training, he could take a bath immediately to wash off his fatigue.

"Why don't you come together?" Li Si rode around the racecourse, and when she turned around, she naturally saw Yang Qihan among the crowd.It's just that this person's clothes are different from when he left the mansion, presumably he should have taken a bath.

"No." Yang Qihan smiled, "I've been riding in the school grounds for a long time today, and I'm a little tired now."

"Then stop." Li Si got off his horse and handed the whip to the people around him, "How about Xian'er and Dan'er's riding skills?"

"Shang Ke." Yang Qihan stepped forward and took the cloak in Mei Lan's hand and put it on for Li Si. "They were not interested in hunting at first, but they became active after hearing that the reward was a polo stick."

"In this case, Aye's reward is more important."

"Xian'er and Dan'er are both polo-loving people, so they are naturally more fond of polo sticks." Yang Qihan couldn't help laughing when he thought about the appearance of the two when they mentioned the polo stick, "In a few days I plan to take the two of them out hunting, to practice courage, so as not to lose the lead in time."

"Qi Han." Li Si raised his eyes and smiled, "I seem to have forgotten to tell you that I will also participate in this hunting."

"..." Yang Qihan was taken aback for a moment, and finally said dumbfoundedly: "It seems that the two younger brothers are about to cry, and my eldest sister wants to grab things with them."

"Look what you said."

Yang Qihan took Li Xian and Li Dan out of the palace to hunt. Of course, Li Zhi also told Li Zhi about this matter. After getting the consent, the three of them galloped out on horses, but the three in front ran fast, and the guards behind followed. It is also quite difficult, especially in the mountains and forests, the mountain roads are rugged, so the speed is slower.

Yang Qihan asked the two of them to run in front, and she followed behind, but seeing their speed getting faster and faster, she finally couldn't help shouting for them to slow down.

Li Xian shouted, "Brother-in-law, don't worry."

Yang Qihan, who was following closely behind, felt relieved at this moment, but she was afraid that something might happen to these two, okay?

Fortunately, Li Xian and Li Dan stopped not far ahead, which relieved Yang Qihan's hanging heart.When asked, the two said that they did not know the way.

Yang Qihan, "..."

With the outskirts riding and archery team, Li Xian and Li Dan's riding and archery skills have improved a lot, and when they are accompanied by the driver, they have more expectations in their hearts, and they want to win the championship in one fell swoop.

On November [-]st, Li Zhi drove to Dongdu, Prince Li Hong supervised the country, and Yong Wang Li Xian assisted him.Princess Anding and Prince Consort Yang Qihan, King Li Xian of Zhou, and King Xiang Li Dan accompanied them.

On November [-]th, the car drove to Quwuyuan in Huashan, where Li Zhi ordered to hunt.

"Sister, brother-in-law, please be merciful." Seeing that Li Si was also involved, Li Dan hurriedly begged for mercy and asked them to release some water for him.

"Dan'er, my sister showed mercy for you, Xian'er will not be happy." Li Si didn't agree directly, she had seen the special polo stick before, and she was also happy.

"elder brother……"

"Don't look at me." Li Xian was helpless. It would be fine if the three of them competed together. Although his brother-in-law played polo well, he didn't care about polo sticks.But my sister also joined in, it's hard to say. "Sister, can you..."

"You set off half an hour earlier." Seeing the two younger brothers' expressions of 'sister, you have to show mercy' or 'brother-in-law, hurry up and beg for us', Li Si smiled helplessly, "If you still lose like this, then don't blame me."

"Sister is so nice!"

After the two boys flattered each other, they each took their guards and plunged into the woods to hunt, leaving Li Si and Yang Qihan alone with helpless smiles on the spot.

"Qingluan, Qihan, why don't you go hunting?" Li Zhi was in the main camp, and he was puzzled when he saw the two came back. "Could it be that you took the initiative to admit defeat?"

Li Si ran up and dangled Li Zhi's arm so affectionately, looking like a spoiled child, "Aye, Xianer Daner wants us to show mercy."

"The hunting ground is like a battlefield, so there is a reason for people to be merciful." Li Zhi was also amused by the three children. He remembered that his own will said that there were brothers who made their sister back down on the surface. Rely on this sentence.

"Aye, Qingluan was tortured by Xian'er Dan'er to the point of being unable to do anything about it, so it won't let them for half an hour."

"That's all, it's good to take advantage of this hunt to practice their courage, so as not to be bullied in the future." Li Zhi has eight sons in total, except for the children born to the empress who are still in Chang'an, the rest are all in other places.Li Hong has been valued by Li Zhi since he was born, loved him since he was a child, and taught him carefully after he was established as the prince. Now he has the intention of abdicating the throne and making way for the virtuous.Li Xian has been intelligent since he was a child, has a photographic memory, is talented in writing, and has the attitude of a virtuous king.As for Li Xian and Li Dan, they are mild-tempered and lacking in courage, so it is not bad to be a happy prince for a lifetime.

"Aye, worry too much. Xian'er and Dan'er are also the princes and princes of my Tang Dynasty. Who dares to bully them?"

Yang Qihan, "..." Qingluan, what if it's your mother who will bully them in the future.
