stream of heart

When Feng Ming left, Yan Zhengjun didn't go to see him off.

April [-]th is ready, and the Daxin Royal Hunting Palace has a three-day spring hunting.This year, Yan Zhengjun plans to go and see, but Yan Zhengjun is not good at riding and shooting martial arts, so he doesn't plan to play.

On April [-]th, after arriving at the Hunting Palace, a ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven will be held first.As the name suggests, offering sacrifices to God, praying for God to forgive the crime of spring hunting and killing.

Before the ceremony began, officials and family members on both sides stood quietly, and the emperor walked through the middle, climbed the steps, and walked to the altar.Emperor Xuanwu has passed the age of knowing his fate, but he is still in good spirits, his eyes are clear and penetrating, but slightly gloomy.Daxin's imperial robe is simple but gorgeous, with a deep red collar, sleeves and belt, while the rest are black, and Daxin's holy beast totem Bai Ze is embroidered on the back with gold thread.

Mu Tianyang and the princes stood at the front under the altar, all dressed in red and very flamboyant.King Mu is the current emperor's brother, but six years ago during the spring hunting, the emperor was assassinated, and King Mu died to protect him.In grief, Princess Mu followed her husband with a piece of white silk.Only Mu Tianyang, who was ten years old, was left behind. Since he was not as weak as the crown, he had not yet inherited the throne.The emperor still loved this nephew very much, and rewarded him continuously every year. Knowing that he liked beauties, he often gave him several beauties.The people all said that there are more concubines in the palace than there are empresses in the harem.

Everyone knelt down to salute, the emperor offered incense, and after reading the sacrificial words, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was considered complete.The emperor stood on the altar and encouraged the children of each family to show their abilities in the next three days of competitions and hunting, and the victors would be rewarded.

After the ceremony was over, the officials and wives of the same faction went to talk in their respective rooms in twos and threes, and the teenagers also looked for their friends to meet and play.Mrs. Yan and Lin Jinyu's mother were close friends in the boudoir when they were not out of the cabinet. After they got married, they even got closer with the Yan Lin family. The two families talked and laughed and walked to the Yan family's residence in the Hunting Palace.

Father Yan and Father Lin walked in the front, seemingly discussing business affairs, while the two wives were talking about family matters.

"Your family Ah Zheng is really up to you. He looks gentle and handsome, and his words and deeds are also polite and measured. He is not like my kid. He is not serious." Mrs. Lin said with a smile, pointing Lin Jinyu's head with her slender index finger .

"Mother, don't tell me I can do it, how embarrassing." Lin Jinyu avoided her hand.

Mrs. Lin laughed and said, "There are no outsiders here, so I'm afraid of being laughed at. Ah Zheng grew up with you, how can I not know you, your Aunt Su has even seen you when you were naked, so don't worry about it."

Lin Jinyu couldn't help it. Whenever the wives of the two families got together, they had to talk about their children.Mr. Yan Zhengjun is good at his studies, gentle and polite, and has a gentle temperament. Mrs. Lin really likes him from the bottom of her heart. Whenever she seizes the opportunity, she will praise him and belittle her son by the way.

Yan's mother came out and said, "We haven't seen each other for a while, and we still have some chats, so don't hold them back, so as not to get bored."

Lin Jinyu couldn't wish for it, "Thank you Aunt Su, Aunt Su is still good to me. Ah Zheng, let's go find Wu Xian and the others."

Yan Zhengjun had no choice but to be dragged away by Lin Jinyu before he could speak.

"When did you become so familiar with Wu Xian?" Yan Zhengjun asked doubtfully as the two walked along the path of the Lord Hunting Palace.

"The last time I met a hooligan molesting a woman from a good family on the street, I bravely rescued the hooligan. I didn't expect the hooligan to have a helper. I was defeated by Wu Xian. Wu Xian helped me, which shows that my character is not bad."

"..."

Originally, she wanted to be a hero to save the beauty, but she was saved by others, so Lin Jinyu was the only one who could be so complacent.Yan Zhengjun coughed, "How do we find them?"

"There is a grove between the hunting palace and the hunting ground."

The moonlight is like water tonight, but it is a little far away from the hunting palace, and it is still a bit scary to walk in the woods, especially when there are various animals calling from time to time.Yan Zhengjun looked at the person who was holding his arm tightly, and wanted to push him away.Lin Jinyu looked at Yan Zhengjun pitifully, he never thought it would be so scary...

Fortunately, I walked in a little more, and I saw a fire.Seven or eight teenagers of their age were sitting around the bonfire, and Wu Xian was fighting with another teenager.Wu Xian's father, Wu Gaoyu, was not only the commander in chief of the imperial army, but also the commander of the imperial guards. He mobilized [-] soldiers and [-] imperial guards, which showed that he was deeply trusted by the emperor.Therefore, among teenagers of the same generation, he is very respectable.

Wu Xian has sharp brows and stars, and is very upright. He is half a head taller than the average peers of the same age. He plays vigorous moves and is very imposing, and everyone around him applauds.

Seeing that the young man on the opposite side was about to be unable to resist, Wu Xian suggested in time, "It's just a discussion, there is no need to win or lose. Brother Zhao, how about we just stop here?"

The young man understood that he was saving face for himself, so he couldn't help being grateful, "Brother Wu is right."

The two drew their swords together.

Seeing Lin Jinyu and Yan Zhengjun approaching, the teenagers stood up and looked at them.Wu Xian came towards the two of them. He had just finished the trick, but his breath was not disturbed at all. Seeing that Lin Jinyu brought someone with him, he was obviously a little surprised, "Brother Lin, who is this?"

Lin Jinyu patted Yan Zhengjun on the back, "Yan Zhengjun, the son of Yan Jing, Minister of Rites, is also my friend."

Wu Xian cupped his fists at him, "So it's Brother Yan, I'm next Wu Xian."

Yan Zhengjun liked his straightforwardness, and he saluted him back, "Brother Wu is out, Jinyu's friend is also my friend, Brother Wu just ask me to find him."

Wu Xian smiled heartily, and said loudly, "Okay, find it, good words."

Yan Zhengjun smiled gently, without saying a word, thinking that this man has high martial arts skills, but he doesn't have the rough and arrogant of a warrior, instead, he is rough but subtle, and given time, he will become a great weapon.

The three of them walked to the fire. Most of the other teenagers knew Lin Jinyu, but they didn't know Yan Zhengjun. It was inevitable that they would introduce and exchange pleasantries.However, they are similar in age, so there is no distinction. Besides, Mr. Yan Zheng is humble and polite, and it is easy to make people feel good. A group of people chatted in full swing in a short while.

The next day, riding and archery competition.

Among the officials' disciples, Wu Xian's horse was far ahead of everyone else, his archery skills could penetrate a Yang with a hundred strides, and living creatures could hit a hundred shots with a hundred hits, killing them with one arrow.As for the emperor's five princes, the third prince is the best at archery and the best at riding.So much so that in the end, the two games became two separate games.In the end, Wu Xian came out on top in riding, and the third prince was even better in archery.

Looking at the emperor's face, one could tell that he was extremely satisfied with the third prince and Wu Xian.All the ministers didn't like it, and they fawned on Feng Cheng one after another.The corner of Yan Zhengjun's mouth raised slightly, but there was a gleam of coldness for no reason.

The third prince's biological mother, Concubine Xi Gui, is Zuo Xiang's prostitute □ Lan, a beauty who is ashamed as a fish and a wild goose, and has been favored since entering the palace. After giving birth to the third prince, Mu Jinglin, she became the No. 1.Just looking at her being the sole favorite in the palace for nearly 20 years, and the fact that the third prince is only fifteen years old, he does things calmly, and is proficient in both literary and martial arts, one can know that Concubine Xi is not a beautiful woman in vain.

Compared with the other princes, either the mother died in childhood, or the birth mother's status is low, it is impossible and dare not compete with the third prince.According to this situation, the third prince should be the best candidate to inherit the throne, and many ministers are busy currying favors, vying to put their daughters in his palace.
