On the other side, the eunuch Sheng Huai, who had finished delivering the wheelchair, saw the prince not far away with his attendants.

"His Royal Highness."

The prince stood inside the invisible fork in Yeliuyuan, looked at Yeliuyuan who was being pushed towards Chengqing Palace by his servants, and said, "Is it done?"

"Yes, His Highness Seventh also asked the old slave to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Thank you?" The prince laughed when he heard the words, "A little hedgehog covered in thorns will also thank you?"

"interesting."

The prince is both a heir and an elder, and Queen Zhao and his relatives are powerful. He was established as the prince without a doubt and moved into the East Palace when he was very young.Afterwards, he spent most of his time studying and familiarizing himself with government affairs in the East Palace. In addition, Queen Zhao rarely lived in the harem, so he rarely had the opportunity to meet his younger brothers.

The only few times, Concubine Shu took Ye Liuyuan to greet the queen.Ye Liuyuan was the most favored young son at that time, and the crown prince had heard a lot about His Majesty's favor towards him.

Since ancient times, the relationship between the crown prince and the emperor has been delicate, and the sons and ministers are more important than the sons.So Emperor Ye was extremely strict with the prince, to the point of being almost unkind.

If it was a child with poor talent, he might not be able to bear the pressure and study intensity, but the prince can handle Ye Di's harshness with ease, and even hide his clumsiness.

Therefore, for His Royal Highness, seeing the seventh brother who is obviously still a glutinous rice dumpling, but is arrogant and somewhat arrogant, the novelty far outweighs other emotions.

The prince will not be jealous, and will not be jealous of the emperor's favor like other princes and concubines, because he knows very well that he will be the next emperor.He is very clear about where he stands and what height he will stand in the future. He is a natural king, and only when he bestows favor on others, there is no time when he competes for favor.

Moreover, Concubine Shu has disciplined Ye Liuyuan very well. The so-called seventh prince's arrogance and extravagance were mostly imposed on him by the emperor.How can one refuse the emperor's favor? Along with various treasures, gifts of silk and satin, there are also all kinds of cynicism, open and dark arrows and gossip.

The prince has experienced it because of his transcendent status, so he naturally understands it.

That year, the little Tuanzi in the Lizheng Palace was holding Concubine Shu's lapel, wearing a neat prince's uniform, with clear but stubborn eyes.Like a little hedgehog, full of thorns and rampant.

Later, the prince went to the army for training, and Xiaotuanzi grew up in a blink of an eye, and was hurt by someone with leg problems.The proud son of heaven has fallen into the mortal world, and in the original gossip, there is something more extreme, suspicious, dark and violent.

The prince was skeptical in his heart, because after experiencing such a sudden change, everyone might be devastated and gradually become what they were rumored to be.The prince was quite afraid that he would see that little prince again, his eyes were full of cynical hostility and gloomy suspicion.

But the short conversation on the way to the pilgrimage wiped away his floating doubts.

It was still that little hedgehog, the world only saw his thorns, but did not see his hidden pain.

There is a saying that Ye Liuyuan said is right, "Although the palace road is long, the road after it can be longer. Once you sit down, you don't want to stand up and walk again." The leg is injured but it can still see clearly. The little hedgehog suffers Injured but still have to go down.

The prince looked at the back of Ye Liuyuan who was going away, and he felt that it was not a trouble for Empress Zhao to let him take care of this younger brother.

-

Ye Liuyuan was pushed by Luo Chen all the way to the Chengqing Hall. When there was still a distance from the Chengqing Hall, Ye Liuyuan got off the wheelchair and walked into the Chengqing Hall.

The layout of the Chengqing Hall is not as majestic as the Lizheng Hall, but instead has a gentle and charming feeling. The incense burner in the hall slowly exudes a sweet aroma.

"Xiaoqi is here." Concubine Shu was sitting in front of the table, grinding some kind of powder in her hands, and there were three rows of porcelain cups and wooden boxes in front of her, which contained all kinds of precious spices and auxiliary materials. .

"Mother Concubine." Ye Liuyuan saluted and greeted, then sat down on her own seat beside her, looked at the table and Concubine Shu without any trace.

Concubine Shu is Empress Zhao's direct younger sister. Like Empress Zhao, she has a standard Central Plains beauty's face, her eyes are like spring water and her face is like lotus, but her temperament is quite different from that of Empress Zhao.

Concubine Shu is very gentle, and her gentleness reveals the style of a mature woman. She is the standard kind of lady.

"You also know today that you are going to leave the pavilion to build a mansion. Luo Chenluofu will go out of the palace with you. The concubine Changshi of your palace has also seen it. She has good handling ability and good temperament. If there is anything outside that can't be solved, I'll go find your grandfather." Concubine Shu poured the ground face powder into an enamel buckle, and looked at Ye Liuyuan with a pair of beautiful eyes.

Concubine Shu said Ye Liuyuan's grandfather was also the prince's grandfather, the biological father of Empress Zhao and Concubine Shu, and now the head of the Zhao clan in Jianling.The patriarch of Zhao served as the right prime minister in the court, and at the same time he was also the prince and grand teacher, doctor Guanglu, and was granted the title of Duke of Xiangguo.

It looks powerful, but in fact, because of the two daughters in the harem, the emperor's father-in-law is famous but not powerful.In order to prevent his relatives from becoming bigger, Emperor Ye could not delegate power to the patriarch Zhao.At present, the most powerful and most party member in the court is actually Prime Minister Zuo.

But having no power does not mean that Patriarch Zhao cannot control the situation of the court. After all, the Jianling Zhao family is the number one clan in the Central Plains, and there are many old disciples in the court.Whether a patriarch has power is actually not a hindrance. The influence of a behemoth on the court is exerted from all aspects.

So Concubine Shu asked Ye Liuyuan to go to Prime Minister Zhao when she had something to do. Outside the palace, it was faster to find Prime Minister Zhao than to send news to Concubine Shu who was in the harem.

"Yes, today I went to the empress to say hello, and the empress also said that I can find elder brother if I have something to do." Ye Liuyuan replied politely.

Concubine Shu shifted her eyes to the spices on the table, she was a little dazed, and said: "Okay, it should be. Although you and your elder brother are not born of the same mother, but the mother concubine and the queen are sisters, you are like that. Brothers who share the same mother and are connected by blood should support each other."

"After a few days of autumn hunting, you also follow your elder brother and pay attention to yourself. The concubine mother loves you and is also worried about you. You are going to build a mansion, and you are finally going out of the Tai Chi Palace. The sky is high and the sea is wide outside. The concubine mother never looks at other things, just I hope you will be safe and sound in the future. As for the previous debt...Mufei will remember it for you, and I will get it back for you."

Concubine Shu picked up a filigree silver bowl, picked up some powder from it with a silver pick, poured it into the previous enamel buckle, and mixed it carefully.

"I don't want to disturb my concubine there, I will take my leave." Ye Liuyuan didn't sit any longer, got up and left.

After getting up and leaving the Chengqing Hall, Ye Liuyuan sat in the wheelchair again, letting Luo Chen push herself to the bedroom, while sorting out the information she got.

This morning, he first went to the Queen's Palace to say hello, and at the same time, he bumped into the Crown Prince, went up to the court together with the Crown Prince, and then met Concubine Shu after the court, so he met all the important people.

Both the queen and the prince are quite normal, but in Chengqing Hall, Ye Liuyuan noticed something unusual about Concubine Shu.

Before the empress talked about her relationship with Concubine Shu, she also emphasized that he was connected with the prince by blood, and asked Ye Liuyuan to go to the prince for business.

Concubine Shu, on the other hand, heard that the queen asked Ye Liuyuan to find the prince, emphasized her relationship with the queen, and said that he was related to the prince by blood.

Generally speaking, Yeliuyuan and the crown prince are of course brothers connected by blood. In ancient times, the theory of blood was based on the paternal line.Ye Liuyuan and the crown prince have the same father and half mother, so they shouldn't be related by blood because their mothers are direct sisters.

Isn't that strange?

If the empress wanted to comfort Ye Liuyuan, then Concubine Shu's reaction was more like looking for reasons and reasons for the result after hearing the result.What she said was to convince herself.Moreover, Concubine Shu went to a famous family, read poetry and books, and at the same time had a little understanding of medicine, and she was very fond of fragrance.

If the intent to kill Emperor Ye came from the harem, then at present, Concubine Shu is the most suspicious.

Take your time, anyway, compared to people in this world who don't know what will happen, Ye Liuyuan knew the ending of Ye Di's death in advance, so he can pay attention to all kinds of clues in advance, and it has already been calculated.

In a flash of time, it came to the time of hunting. Carrying autumn and winter, the emperor schooled the hunting army, accompanied by all civil and military officials and the six guards of the imperial army.Chenglouxiang, Liuyuqiu, Tuoni Jing, Miyunqi, Pixuan in front, and You* in the back.The flags are flying, and the momentum is huge.

The autumn hunting place is in Beichuan, the climate here is much better than the damp palace, Yeliuyuan's legs no longer ache here, but there is a problem - he wants to ride a horse.

In the Xia Dynasty, horse riding was a basic skill for almost everyone.Such things as shooting and hunting can always be passed by gangsters, but if they don't catch prey, he can just go to the prince's place for a little bit.There is no way, the Xia Dynasty is very good at martial arts, and the world has not been peaceful for a long time, some civil servants have been on the battlefield with the army.For example, the left and right ministers, both of whom are over 100 years old together, still travel on horseback.

The original owner's riding and shooting is very good, muscle reflexes are all there, but is this a problem of muscle reflexes?Not to mention riding a living thing, even Ye Liuyuan suddenly got into a body that can drive a car in modern times, so he didn't dare to drive on the road.

But if Ye Liuyuan didn't know how to ride a horse, he would be exposed immediately.

Ye Liuyuan immediately asked the system for help, and said, "Mr. System, do you have any cheats that can help me ride and shoot?"

"Sorry, there is nothing that can help Mr. Ye at the moment." The system replied, but the system paused, and said: "But remind you, pay attention to safety, your predicament will be resolved soon."

Ye Liuyuan couldn't get help from the system, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and was supported by Luo Chen and Luo Fu on the horse, and her whole body froze on the saddle.

When others saw him uncomfortable, they only thought he was frightened by what happened last year. Many veterans couldn't help but shook their heads secretly. It's unclear whether they feel more regretful or feel that he is more weak and useless.

"The seventh brother is excellent in riding and shooting. It's a pity that he couldn't show it last year. This year, it's better to let the elder brother open his eyes." The third prince who was speaking was beside him. She favored Concubine Shu, but she was far inferior when it came to doting.

The eldest son of the third prince was pressing down on him, and the much-loved young son Ye Liuyuan was poking his lung tube. The three princes were not as good as the top and bottom. Seeing Ye Liuyuan's stiffness, the third prince maliciously went from top to bottom, He glanced at Ye Liuyuan from head to toe, and said, "It's a pity that the emperor's leg...it's a pity, it's a pity..."

That kind of gaze seemed to be weighing some prey, as if Ye Liuyuan had become a cripple, and the malice and provocation in his eyes could hardly be suppressed.

The original owner didn't have the character of swallowing his anger, Ye Liuyuan, according to the original owner's temperament, almost wanted to whip a whip to the third prince's face, even less afraid of riding a horse.

The two princes saw that the atmosphere was not good, and the followers did not dare to show their anger. They kept watching the prince from this side come on horseback, and said: "I was trained in the army before, and I heard some veterans say that the battlefield is dangerous. They said that some veterans with severed limbs , There will be a dull pain at the fracture, as if the pain when the limb is broken occurs repeatedly, and the same scene will be terrified again.”

"Even if this is the case for a veteran who has survived all battles, the experience of the seventh emperor brother is also dangerous. My brother is still in pain, and you, the third brother, are neither inappropriate nor appropriate for a brother to speak like this." Although the prince smiled, he said it directly. Refuting the third prince's face, he almost pointed at his nose and said that he is narrow-minded, and that the younger brother's injury has not healed, so it's fine if he doesn't care, and even sneered.

The third prince wanted to explode, but as soon as the prince came over, the attention of the surrounding officials and Emperor Ye also shifted to this side.If there was a real disturbance in Yeliuyuan, Emperor Ye would intervene, and the third prince would inevitably be reprimanded with the crown prince around.

"What the prince said is reasonable, but I am not the eldest brother." Speaking of this, the third prince still gritted his teeth and said: "Not as good as His Royal Highness, brother and friend."

The prince's smile was a bit more disdainful, he ignored the third prince, rode his horse to Yeliuyuan's side and walked alongside him, seeing his stiff appearance, came over and said, "Does the seventh brother have a leg problem again? The imperial doctor said You need to rest."

The prince wanted to give Yeliuyuan a step down. Seeing his little brother's legs clamped tightly on the horse's belly, and his whole body's muscles stiff and extremely unnatural, he knew that it was not a leg problem, but a fear that was difficult to overcome. .

"No need, I'm sorry, brother." Ye Liuyuan said.

The prince's gaze also fell on his straight calf outlined by the hunting suit, and then slid along the line of the calf to his boots.His eyes flicked past, and then moved to his face.

Ye Liuyuan had just been sized up by the third prince, but there was no malice in the prince's eyes, he couldn't get angry even if he wanted to.

The prince responded to his slightly dissatisfied gaze, and said: "The terrain of Beichuan is complex, and tigers, leopards, bears and other ferocious beasts often come and go. If you are not willing to retreat to the back, follow me closely after hunting."

"Thank you for your concern, brother." Ye Liuyuan replied.

Originally, he wanted to go to the prince to catch some prey, and the prince came to his door, so of course he had to follow closely.Because the prince has personal guards to follow, and the prince has just returned from military training, it is said that he is also first-class in riding and shooting.

If you don't hold your thighs at this time, when will you wait.

Ye Di stood high on the horse, and his experience of being a soldier in the world gave him an incomparable majesty. Ye Liuyuan looked at him as if seeing an old tiger.Although the tiger is old, its power still exists.

Autumn hunting is to be ordered by Emperor Ye, and all the officers and men of the family will compete in hunting. With Emperor Ye's order, the autumn hunting officially kicks off.
