On a good day and auspicious day, the sky is clear and cloudless, the flags are flying, and the horns are sounding.

By the Linshui River, a large piece of woodland and grassland is surrounded by cloth curtains.A large banner stands at the southern end of the paddock, under which are dozens of Inner Flying Dragon Guards, all riding sturdy black horses, with shining silver scales and armor, in a dignified guard of honor.

There are several military tents tied behind the banner, and the prince is still resting in the tents.Outside the tent, several servants and internal officials are also putting on their clothes and getting ready.

Qi Yunchu was not interested in hunting, so he stayed in the palace to serve Emperor Huiming.The eunuchs who traveled with the prince were all under the management of Lu You, the servant and junior supervisor.

Lu You changed into a barbarian costume today: a brocade robe with folded breasts, moccasin boots with raised heads, and a felt hat with a curly brim and a pointed top, with a string of red agate beads hanging from the left and right brims of the hat.More and more it complements the whole person's vermilion hair, white teeth and bright eyes.

Daning Chao Su Yu south wind.Since he was born with the appearance of Song Yu and Pan An, he naturally had to provoke some wild bees and butterflies.However, after all, Lu You is not a youthful young man who is molested by others in the Imperial College. He can tactfully avoid most of the harassment, and only a few who cannot be offended can also be swayed.

Among them, Kang Wang Zhao Jing is definitely the most troublesome figure.

After the fire in Huiqing Hall, the guy who had vowed to help King Xuan immediately switch to the Prince's command.And the prince didn't care about the matter of Cheng Wuyan, the medicine master of the East Palace last year, and let Zhao Jing go in and out of the palace gate, and continued to live a ridiculous life.

In fact, Lu You once suspected that Zhao Jing and Jiang Qiguang had the same essence, that they were both "spies" sent by the prince to Zhao Yang, but they couldn't find any evidence.

But no matter what, this Kang Wang Zhao Jing is definitely not someone easy to get along with.

However, at this moment, this wise and foolish prince turned into a piece of brown candy and stuck it beside Lu You.

"It's really weird, why does this face look so much better on you than on Zhao Yang's kid... Sure enough, that kid is my counterfeit."

He walked around Lu You back and forth, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "How about it, is there anyone interested in becoming my king?"

Lu You took a step back and said respectfully: "Thanks to your highness for being wrongly loved, it's a pity that I'm not as good as Long Yang."

"No, but it can be cultivated." Zhao Jing refused to let go, "I said you have studied with Changqiu Public School for so many years, why haven't you learned this? Why don't you come to my yard tonight, and I will teach you You, save you for a fun time..."

Hearing all these nonsense things he said, Lu You was so disgusted in her heart that she couldn't help but want to find a chance to slip away.But as soon as he turned around, he saw Tang Ruilang approaching from behind the military tent with a white eagle on his shoulder.

He had an idea, and said loudly: "I heard that there is a kind of white fox in the dense forest near the Linshui River. The fur is most suitable for tanning fur clothes. Why don't you hunt a few of them and let someone make a fur robe for the princess?"

Sure enough, upon hearing his voice, Tang Ruilang immediately turned his head to look this way, and then walked over quickly.

"His Royal Highness Kang Wang is so caring? Then Swiss Lang thanked my sister first. It happens to be my sister's birthday next month. Why don't you give it to my brother-in-law at that time?"

Being disrupted by him abruptly, Zhao Jing didn't pretend to be, and became impatient carelessly.

"You kid, don't talk too much! Otherwise, those foxes will be yours to hunt. Cut, you still say foxes, don't you know that even the pheasants were put into the woods a day in advance?"

Then he looked at Lu You again, with the same carefree expression on his face.

"Why are you so ashamed? You've already kissed me before, so why are you pretending to be reserved. Okay, okay, I won't play with you, my lord, go play with birds!"

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to tease the white eagle on Tang Ruilang's shoulder.Unexpectedly, the eagle didn't know good from bad, so he lowered his head and was about to peck Zhao Kyung's finger.Fortunately, Tang Ruilang took a step back and pressed Bai Ying's chest in time.

Zhao Kyung let out a "wow" for embarrassing himself and humiliated himself, and quickly made sure that no one around saw his ugly appearance, then turned his head and left.Leaving Lu You and Tang Ruilang staring at each other, neither of them knew what to say for a moment.

After struggling for a while, Tang Ruilang said, "You...have something happened with King Kang?"

"It was just a misunderstanding."

Lu You wanted to explain, but felt it was unnecessary, so he only said something lightly, and then asked back: "He dared to be unfaithful to your sister in front of you."

"He is also the prince of the Great Ning Dynasty, and this is not the first time." Tang Ruilang smiled bitterly: "I think he will have three wives and four concubines sooner or later. My sister has already seen through it. It's just that he has never been able to give birth. A child and a half, he can only toss about."

Not being able to have children is not necessarily a woman's problem—although Lu You wanted to say this, but thinking about the current cold war between himself and Tang Ruilang, he could only swallow it in his stomach.

Seeing that the two of them were going to be silent again, they only heard a jingle.There are two bulldogs, one with a thin waist and long legs, the other with brown hair and lop ears, both with golden bells around their necks, with big colorful tongues, running towards this side.

"My family holds the cloud, and my family chases the wind."

Tang Ruilang caressed the dog's head at his feet, "Xianyun is very good at chasing rabbits; Zhuifeng came here with a caravan from the Western Regions, and has a very good nose. A drop of blood can be found in the grass after ten days."

Just as he was talking, the prince finally got dressed and walked out from the military tent.Everyone quickly stepped back and stood on both sides. After a ceremony, the first spring search officially began.

Lu You didn't like hunting, and he didn't have much desire to seek victory, so even though he got on the horse with the bow and arrows on his back, he just followed behind the prince with great momentum.

As for the newly appointed servant of Huangmen, he naturally followed closely beside the prince.However, compared with Lu You, he was obviously more active and ingenious, helping the prince catch a lot of prey without any trace.

Half a day later, everyone returned to the banner to count the results of the battle.Except for the hunts of Donggong and his party, all the hunts were counted on the crown prince's head, the one with the most abundant hunts in the other teams was Jiang Quzhi, the servant of the Ministry of War.The hares and birds alone piled up into a hill, there were several roe deers and wild boars, and even the fox that Lu You mentioned just now shot one.

According to the usual practice, the few courtiers who hunted the most will be rewarded for their merits.Everyone still returned to the open space in front of the military tent, and the servant on the side had already brought out the tray with rewards.

The prince first rewarded the second and third courtiers, and then turned to Jiang Quzhi, who was full of ambition.

"Jiang Aiqing's riding and archery skills are excellent, and the hawks and dogs she carries are all excellent choices. The first day of the spring search is well-deserved, and this king can be regarded as admiring Aiqing."

After being appreciated, Jiang Quzhi couldn't help feeling elated: "His Royal Highness, Jiang has never trained hawks and dogs by other people's hands. The young hawks and puppies were all raised by hand. Thanks to His Highness's favor, Jiang is willing to present them all. For Your Highness, please accept it with a smile."

"Oh? It's rare that you have such thoughts."

The prince was overjoyed, but immediately frowned: "But this eagle dog has a limited lifespan after all. Once it dies, I won't be able to find such an excellent one in the future. You can stay at ease in the garden of beasts in the Imperial Palace, and train the hawks and dogs specially for this king."

"Your Highness, this--?!"

Jiang Quzhi seemed to have fallen from heaven to hell in an instant, and all blood disappeared from his face.

He opened his mouth wide, hesitating and trying to explain something.But the inner flying dragon guards had already grabbed his arm and dragged him out of everyone's sight.

There was silence under the banner waving in the wind.All the people present were silent, and some people didn't even dare to speak out, for fear of attracting the prince's attention and throwing away the black yarn on top.

However, Lu You could clearly see that Jiang Quzhi, the servant of the Ministry of War, took office at the beginning because he won the first place in the field hunting. Emperor Huiming rewarded him with an official position when he was happy.

This is really, it came in a muddle, and it was absurd.

With this, the originally warm and peaceful hunting atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.However, the prince didn't care about these things, and ordered people to pack up the prey and drive back to the palace.

As the prince's retinue, all the accompanying people naturally stayed in the palace overnight.

Lu You did not expect that he would finally live with Tang Ruilang that night.
