The sun was rising, and the weather was exceptionally good the next day, as if the cold at the end of winter had been dispelled all at once.

In the royal hunting on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, both father and son of the Huo family will go into battle together. The Huo family is the head of generals. Every year, the Huo family's children must be the ones who stand out in the limelight. As for the young generals of other families, as long as they can keep pace with the Huo family's children, they will have a bright future. immeasurable.

Outside the door of Huo's house, the guards had already brought out the horses of the masters. They were red, white, black and brown, and they were all the best war horses.

Huo Zhengquan leaped onto the horse's back in a scarlet cloak, and the cloak flew up and landed on the horse's back steadily. His handsome and deep face could not be seen to be happy or angry, but it was serious without anger.

"Departure..."

"Wait!" Two voices sounded at the same time, and everyone's eyes followed the voice, only to see a jade-like young man walking steadily.

The boy was wearing a crimson riding suit, wrapped in a black cloak, with a white fringe on the cloak, making his immature face even more youthful.

"Why did no one inform me that the young master is leaving at this time? Is this what the Huo family's stewards do?" The young man walked towards Huo Zhengquan's position with a smile on his face.

He turned his eyes around the beauty in red makeup beside Huo Zhengquan, and sighed secretly: This Mrs. Huo only thought she was a little bit pretty when I met him for the first time, but I didn't expect that she would be a bit more beautiful when she was wearing a horse riding suit and riding on a big bay red horse. Sassy spirit.

No wonder she was able to capture Huo Zhengquan's heart. This kind of woman should be relatively rare in Daliang, right?

"What are you going to do? Stay at home for me!" Huo Zhengquan reprimanded angrily.

"How is this possible? If the emperor and all civil and military officials know that the Huo family has descendants who do not participate in hunting, wouldn't it make the Huo family lose face?"

Huo Zhengquan glared at him fiercely, and he forcefully suppressed the words "you will bring shame to the Huo family if you go".

Who in the court doesn't know the relationship between Huo Tian and the third prince?Early this morning, news spread that His Highness the Third Highness had visited the Huo Mansion to find his wife.

The irony is that the world has turned this scandalous incident into a well-known story.

Just because the Huo family and the royal family were destined not to get married, and the third prince and the seventh young master of the Huo family became poor people who dared to break through the shackles and break the stereotypes for the sake of feelings.

If it is ignored that these two are men, it is enough to become a romance through the ages.

"Huo Tian, ​​it's embarrassing for you to go. Just you, a country boy, do you know how to ride a horse and archery? Don't think that you will be invincible in the world with a few skills! When the time comes, you will not be the only one who will drag the Huo family back! "Huo Yilong struck angrily.

Yin Xu paced over, stretched out his hand to touch Huo Yilong's steed, and replied with an inexplicable expression: "Maybe you will find out soon, why don't we make a bet?"

"What are you betting on?" Huo Yilong sat upright on the horseback, looking down at Huo Tian with contempt in his eyes.

"Since it's hunting, of course it's about hunting prey. The limit is one day. Whoever catches more prey wins."

"Okay! The loser must kneel down and kowtow three times to the winner!" Huo Yilong's eyes showed a hint of sternness.

Yin Xu didn't even move his eyebrows, and added lightly: "And it must be in front of everyone!"

"Haha... wish for it!" Huo Yilong yelled at the guard at the side: "Lead him a horse! Ask for the best, don't say that this young master takes advantage of this beast!"

"Nonsense!" Huo Yiming rode over, looked at Yin Xu worriedly, and then said to Huo Yilong: "Fifth brother, how can you make nonsense on this occasion? If you lose, you lose. Kneel and kowtow in public." What's going on? Where are the Huo family's family rules? "

"Brother, this is what he asked for himself, so don't meddle in other people's business. The Huo family's family rules forbid brothers to kill each other, but they didn't say that they forbid fighting between brothers!" Huo Yilong raised his chin proudly, Not much respect for this big brother.

Huo Yiming still wanted to persuade, but Madam Huo said with a smile: "It's getting late, we'll talk about things at Shenlu Mountain, don't delay Your Majesty's time."

Just when a guard brought the horse over, Yin Xu walked around the horse and got on the horse after making sure that it had not been tampered with, and walked in the middle of the team with his four subordinates.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, the emperor's guard of honor had already arrived first. The three princes were all dressed in military uniforms, and their heroic appearance caused many accompanying daughters of aristocratic families to look around through the curtain frequently.

Although hunting is a matter for men, the emperor will bring several concubines with him every year, as well as dancers and musicians to help the fun. Therefore, various noble families will also choose outstanding women to accompany them. If they are lucky, they will be selected by the emperor. Entering the harem, even if you can't get into the eyes of the emperor, you will be favored by high-ranking concubines, and your future marriage will be smoother.

What's more, among the three princes there is an unmarried wife. Although he is a bit absurd, but after all, he is the first son of the empress, and it is safe to marry and become a princess.

Yin Xu saw the third prince in front of the royal driver at first glance, dressed in silver soft armor, it was rare that he did not maintain that cynical mask on his face, like a sword about to be unsheathed.

Seeing the Huo family's team appear, Teng Yu also saw Yin Xu in the crowd. Seeing him wearing the clothes specially sent yesterday, a short but gentle smile melted from the corner of his mouth.

After seeing the ceremony, the emperor supported the eunuch's hand and sat on the horse's back, raised his whip, "Let's go when everyone is here."

"Go...fa..." Lai Jiquan shouted with a high-pitched voice, and then followed behind Yu Ma's buttocks step by step.

The mighty team made a messy sound of horseshoes, and the road had been cleared by the Habayashi army first, and no pedestrians dared to approach along the way, and it was unimpeded.

Shenlu Mountain is not in the territory of Kyoto, but is closer to Huizhou in the north. It stands to reason that the winter is cold and the prey drops sharply, which is not the most suitable season for hunting, but the emperor is most interested in this time of year every year. Relax your muscles and bones.

That's why there is a royal zoo on Shenlu Mountain, where special people keep prey, ranging from tigers and wolves to small pheasants and hares.

The entire Shenlu Mountain is classified as an official forbidden area, and people are not allowed to go up the mountain on weekdays.

The team walked quickly and arrived at Shenlu Mountain before sunset. The group lived in the palace at the foot of the mountain and had a sumptuous dinner in a lively manner.

Concubine Yun is still in charge of the palace. During these few days of each year, she is willing to put down the common affairs of the palace and accompany the emperor to the Shenlu Mountain palace. The short-sighted flowers and plants took the opportunity to approach the emperor.

But this kind of thing is always unavoidable, no, at the dinner banquet, Zhenyuan Hou's daughter-in-law scattered flowers from a celestial girl, which made Longxin very happy, and even praised the word "good" three times, which was even more rewarding.

Concubine Yun heard the sound and understood the elegant meaning, so she arranged for the girl to sleep with her that night, and spent a lonely night by herself.

"Your Majesty, good news..." Concubine Yun's confidant maid came quietly to congratulate her early in the morning.

Concubine Yun Gui didn't sleep well that night, a certain thought lingered in her mind, which made her worry very much.

"What can be good? But that bitch made a mistake last night?" Concubine Yun supported the maid's hand to get up, and let the maid change her clothes.

"Although it's not, it's almost the same." The maid whispered in Concubine Yun's ear, "My servant heard that this girl from Zhenyuan Hou's family already has a sweetheart. Last night you asked her to serve His Majesty, but she is not good. Those who are willing are forced to go by Madam Zhenyuanhou."

"Oh, so what? No matter how reluctant you are, you are already the emperor's woman. When you enter the palace, any sweetheart will be gone." Concubine Yun Gui replied without much energy.

"That being said, who do you think is the girl's sweetheart?"

After hearing her words, Concubine Yun knew that there was an inside story, she put away her casualness just now, and asked seriously: "If you have something to say, hurry up and say it."

The court lady covered her mouth and smiled, "Yes. Her sweetheart happens to be the second son of Xu Dashi's family!"

Concubine Yun thought for a moment, "Is it the Xu family?"

"Yeah, it's the Xu family, the one whose leg was broken by the young master before, bah, it's a good thing they can talk about it! If the emperor finds out about this, not only this beauty, but even the Xu family won't be able to please her." .”

Concubine Yun Gui is shrewd, so she naturally understands the use value of this matter. The last time the matter was said to be big or small, Xu Jin is a royalist party and is highly valued by the emperor. He reprimanded his elder brother severely, and even he was left out for a while.

Although her nephew didn't lose a leg in the end, the emperor took advantage of this to promote the eldest son of Xu's family, and made it clear that he was not an example.

"Go and ask, what did she say about her bedtime last night?"

"Yes, servant girl is going right now." The palace maid fastened Concubine Yun Gui's girdle and left in a hurry.

Concubine Yun Gui sat in front of the dressing table, looked at the face printed in the bronze mirror, and touched her cheek with her hand. She was old, and her skin was not as fair and smooth as when she was young. How long will it last.

It seems that it is time to make a decision on that matter as soon as possible.

Not long after, the palace lady came back and explained what happened last night in detail. Hearing how the emperor favored other women, Concubine Yun Gui couldn't maintain her calm state of mind no matter how good she was.

"Did the emperor say what kind of title he would confer on that bitch?"

"I've said it. I said that I was concubine early in the morning. It must be for the sake of Marquis Zhenyuan."

"Hmph, that's not necessarily the case! I didn't see the way he stared at that bitch last night, but Concubine Yang, who was guarding the palace, would not be able to sleep when she heard the news." Concubine Yun Gui sneered.

"No, Concubine Yang has served the emperor for many years and gave birth to the second prince. She has only survived to become a concubine until now. Now she is made a concubine after serving him once. She must be unwilling to die."

"So what if you don't want to be reconciled, who doesn't have that life!" Concubine Yun turned the gemstone ring on her finger, and said with a cold smile: "Besides, she is too old to see the facts clearly. She is bullying Yi'er with her son." , What audacity!"

The maid combed her hair straight, and said with a smile: "You came out this time to give her the power in the palace, but she was so happy, how would you know..."

"Let her be happy for two days first. If she dares to bully Yi'er, I will let their mother and child die without a place to bury them!" Concubine Yun Gui broke off a jade hairpin with a grim expression, but also with a hint of certainty. firm!

"Yes, this time the matter is successful, the second prince will definitely have no hope." The maid tied a flying fairy bun for her, and picked out a phoenix hairpin from the jewelry box, "Your Majesty, how about using this one?"

Concubine Yun looked at herself in the mirror, and waved her hands, "Since you're out of the palace, you don't need to use such solemn jewelry, just pick a butterfly hairpin, and lighten your makeup."

"Yes."

After finishing her makeup, Concubine Yun put on a smile and said with a relaxed face, "It's time to pay your majesty a greeting."

The emperor woke up refreshed early in the morning, changed his arms and was surrounded by people and went to the school grounds.

Sitting in the first place, looking at the young talents who were full of energy and ready to go, Emperor Dechang laughed and said: "Let's make some new rules for hunting today. Married ones stand aside. Today I want to see the heroic appearance of young men." , the one who gets the first place will still be rewarded, if anyone can pull the Huo family from the first place, I will reward him with another commander!"

"Hoho...Long live Your Majesty!" The unmarried teenagers were enthusiastic and shouted loudly.

On the contrary, the married young people who were ready to go out looked lonely and walked out of the team reluctantly.

Huo Yilong was overjoyed. Originally, there were several powerful opponents in front of him, such as his eldest brother, such as the eldest prince. Now that these people have been eliminated, he is very confident to take the first place!

If they want to knock their Huo family off the number one throne, it depends on whether Huo Yilong agrees or not!

Huo Yilong glanced at Yin Xu complacently, snorted coldly, and made a provocative gesture towards him.

Yin Xu sneaked into Teng Yu's room in the middle of the night last night. Although the two had only seen each other for a day, they missed each other a lot. They went to sleep after a while, and sneaked back early in the morning, just like thieves.

He yawned and turned a blind eye to Huo Yilong's provocation. Anyway, he bet with Huo Yilong that he would have more prey than anyone else, but he didn't say that he must hunt it himself.

Emperor Dechang was in high spirits, and gave a long and passionate speech, and then asked people to give wine to every young man who was about to play.

In previous years, these young children were supporting roles, just for fun, but this year they were suddenly brought up to the front to play the leading role. They were all so excited that they drank the spirits in one gulp and slammed their bowls loudly.

"It will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations!"

"Haha! Good! Let's go, I'm waiting for your triumphant return!"

"As ordered!"
