In order to truly experience the fun of the picnic, a group of princes and nobles, including the prince, sent them and the servants far away after the guards checked the surrounding environment, and left half of them to set up bonfires and grills. Handle the ingredients, seasonings and other things brought, plus take care of the unlucky Yu Panyu, and the other half are responsible for hunting their food tonight.

For the sake of safety, the five people in charge of hunting were divided into two groups. Naturally, Chu Hong and Pei Hao wanted to be together, and Yang Xun was responsible for protecting them, so the crown prince and the second prince were divided together. Neither of them objected.Then Chu Hong thought of joking, and proposed to see which group had more prey within half an hour, and the loser would be responsible for handling the prey.

The other four people had no objection to this, so the bet was settled, and the two groups started to act in two directions.

Different from the joy and vigor of the three people at Chu Hong's side, Chu Run and Chu Wei had a weird atmosphere when they were alone. The two of them just kept silent, one on the left and the other on the right, hunting and picking.

But if they don't fight each other, when one of them goes to pick up the prey, the other will stop and wait on the spot, and wait until the other party returns to his side before moving on. The tacit understanding is not like the first time hunting together alone...

"Brother Prince, it's almost time."

Chu Wei, like Chu Run, would not be serious with Chu Hong's younger brother for a small bet, so the two of them walked along the way like a walk, and they didn't shoot a few times. Now they are on the spare horses behind each other, but It only carried a few prey suitable for roasting.

"Well, go back...get down!"

Prince Run, who was half admiring the scenery and half wandering, returned to look at the cold and silent man, but in the next moment his eyes suddenly froze, and at the same time he raised his hand and drew the bow, and the arrow brushed against Chu Wei's head. The golden crown shot out, powerfully nailing a boa constrictor as thick as an adult's calf to the tree.

"...Thank you, Brother Prince."

Chu Wei felt a warning sign when Chu Run's eyes changed, and when he was ordered to lie down, he leaned over and slid to the side of the horse without any hesitation, and then saw a thick and long snake tail sweeping over him, dangerously The horse's head was drawn, so Chu Wei quickly calmed his frightened horse, and thanked Chu Run without changing his expression.

"Second brother is angry."

Chu Run's smile was still gentle, and there was no trace of coldness in his eyes at all, but during the conversation, he shot an arrow at the python seven inches again, which showed the determination and neatness of the prince's way of handling things.

"..."

Seeing the sharpness in Chu Run's words and deeds inadvertently revealed, Chu Wei couldn't help but shake his head slightly, but he quickly restrained the admiration in his eyes, dismounted and walked towards the tree while still tightening his body... But in reality He picked up the dead python that couldn't die anymore, untied it and hung it in a ball on Chu Run's spare horse.

"Let's go back."

Regarding Chu Wei's act of picking up prey for him, Chu Run didn't say anything. He just sat on the horse and watched silently. The direction is gone.

When Chu Run and Chu Wei returned to the pool, Chu Hong's group came back almost in time, and compared with the three horses full of prey behind them, Chu Run's side obviously lost, so After the three of them washed their hands and washed their faces happily and ran to get together, the two elder brothers were left by the pool to prepare their main meal for tonight.

"Let my brother, a rough man, do these rough things. The prince's brother shouldn't touch these filthy things."

Seeing Chu Run holding a dead rabbit with a calm expression but stiff movements to 'research', Chu Wei bent his mouth at an angle that the other party could not see, and then covered Chu Run's slightly cool hand holding a short knife with one hand, His wrist touched his palm lightly, and finally his fingers completely covered the opponent's fingers.

"..."

Chu Run's originally peaceful eyes suddenly became sharp because of Chu Wei's actions, but in the darkened sky, he couldn't see through the true meaning of the other party's expression. The bonfire not far away seems to have affected it, and the temperature around him seems to be a little warmer...

"It's cold on the mountain, brother Prince, go sit by the fire too, brother will be fine soon."

Seeing that Chu Run did not resist his touch, Chu Wei's expression became more relaxed. He slowly took the dagger from Chu Run's hand, and then took the rabbit, then squatted sideways by the pool, and directly took the rabbit Immerse yourself in water to peel off your skin to avoid splashing blood on yourself.

"No, since we lost together, naturally we should accept the punishment together, and if I pass by, they should not let go."

Chu Run looked at Chu Wei who was squatting alone by the pool, and at the laughing young people around the campfire, smiled noncommittally, then squatted down beside Chu Wei, took the meat he had processed and put it on the table. In the prepared tray.

"It's just that we get along less..."

Hearing what Chu Run said, Chu Wei responded without saying a word, and continued his work in silence.

They had enough prey tonight, so Chu Wei only picked out the limbs and the parts with good quality meat, and he rewarded the rest of the prey together with the extra prey to the guards and servants, so that they who only brought dry food He and Chu Run still finished processing three large trays of meat, and when they returned to the campfire, the meat of the python that Chu Run hunted became the most popular.

Because the picnic this time is for everyone to be self-sufficient, Princess Regina set up five iron grills scattered around. After a simple demonstration for everyone, she served all kinds of seasonings and dips made by pure Saint Rollei. They left to fiddle with each other, and Chu Run and Chu Wei consciously formed a group and chose the grill farther away from the crowd.

"Brother Prince, slice the meat, I'll roast it, so that the oil won't splash on you."

Hearing Regina's reminder not to be scalded by the oil star, Chu Wei stopped Chu Run who wanted to get the oil brush, handed him the knife for slicing meat, then put on leather gloves to brush the oil on the hot iron plate, and then used a long The chopsticks held the vegetables and put them on top, which seemed to be the case from the looks of it.

"..."

Looking at the knife in his hand, Chu Run's eyes moved, but in the end he didn't refuse Chu Wei's kindness, and smiled and cut a thin slice of meat and handed it to him, and naturally took the food Chu Wei had baked and ate it.

In Chu Run's memory, except for his father and queen, no one dared to treat him with such a strong attitude, let alone take anything from him, or even make decisions for him.

But inexplicably, Chu Run didn't feel offended when faced with the "overstepping" of his younger brother whom he had accidentally understood and hadn't had much contact with at all...

"Looks good?"

An Sheng, who was in charge of the barbecue, picked up the grilled meat and put it on a plate. When he handed it to Chu Xian beside him, he whispered a pun in his ear.

Although An Sheng didn't have much contact with the three older princes, he also knew the hostility between the prince and the third prince, and the second prince didn't have much to deal with them, but seeing the peaceful atmosphere of those two alone now, it's really not good. Like a villain.

"Well, it looks good, but only those who eat it will know how it really tastes."

Chu Xian also returned to An Sheng with a pun, and nimbly used chopsticks to roll the pork belly slices on the plate with the slightly charred Flammulina velutipes, then dipped the meat rolls in the sauce, and fed them to An Sheng's mouth... ...Aren't children who grew up in the palace the best at surface kung fu?

"That's right, sauerkraut roasted like this is really good, there is no miscellaneous taste, just try it once."

Hearing what Chu Xian said, An Sheng stopped paying attention to the prince's situation, and concentrated on coaxing his little leopard to eat. Anyway, they didn't plan to take the initiative to get involved, and others can do whatever they want.

"...It's really not shy at all."

Wrapped in a cloak, Yu Pan stood between Chu Yue's sister and brother, trying to maintain his demeanor with a smile and refusing the food offered by Regina. From the corner of his eye, he looked at a certain couple who were feeding openly not far away, and Yu could not help but Gritting his teeth, he muttered dejectedly.

As a "single" person like Yang Xun, Yu Pan thought of his embarrassing position, so he consciously stayed by An Sheng's side, but in the end, he was directly stabbed and retreated by a certain highness, so that he fell into Lei's position. The group of Jiana and His Highness the Eighth Highness... the enthusiastic and hearty Princess Saint-Rolais next to him really made him very uncomfortable!

"Master Yu, you eat too little, no wonder you are so thin, your waist is as thin as mine!"

Although Regina was seriously warned by her cousin, knowing that the beauty surnamed Yu in front of her was not to be eaten, but it was rare to meet such a stunning beauty, and it would be a pity to let her go for nothing, so Princess Regina decided to molested her As a souvenir, he said while attacking Yu Pan's waist with both hands, and was really surprised by the soft touch of his hands, and really wanted to see what was going on under the clothes!

"Sister! Brother Wu is throwing punches over there. You just want to learn this, so hurry over there!"

Seeing Regina stretching out her claws towards Yu Pan, Chu Yue who was washing vegetables hastily wiped her hands with a cloth towel, neatly put her arms around Yu Pan, and blocked the slightly stiff young master behind her, and then Pushing his carefree cousin to Chu Hong, His Highness Fifth was fighting with Yang Xun and Pei Wei for wine.

"His Highness Xie Ba rescued the siege for the next official."

Yu Dashao, who couldn't resist being molested by a woman, scratched the wall depressedly, but thanked Chu Yue with anger on his face. Although the process was very embarrassing, it is true that he owed this little Highness a lot of favors today. Yu Pan thought in his heart that if there is a chance in the future, he must pay it back properly.

"Master Yu, don't say that, it's because my sister is too rude...It's cold at night, and everyone has to play for a long time before going back. Master Yu should try to eat as much as possible. How about trying baked potatoes?"

Seeing that Yu Pan was not dissatisfied with Regina's faux pas, after Chu Yue heaved a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but have a better impression of Pan, and then remembered the waist of the other party that he could wrap around with one arm, and felt that the other party was really nice The skinny Eighth Prince's "brother next door" mode was turned on, and the smiling sun went to the campfire to dig out a potato that had been buried before, broke it with a cloth and handed it to Yu Pan.

"Very fragrant...thank you, Your Highness."

The warm temperature spread to his hands through the thick cloth, Yu Pan raised his eyes to look at the handsome young prince in front of him, lightly parted his pink lips, tasted a mouthful of fragrant potatoes, and then returned to Chu Yue with a simple but true smile.

"Ah... as long as you like it, then you can eat it while it's hot, and I'll send the baked one to Fifth Brother and the others first."

Seeing such a smiling glance from Yu Pan, Chu Yue felt as if his heart had been pulled suddenly, and then inexplicably began to panic. The Eighth Prince, who is not low in EQ, realized the most possible meaning of this feeling, and immediately made a decisive decision He chose to keep his distance, so he looked away from Yu Pan's face with a smile, and then naturally put the baked food on a plate.

It is true that Chu Yue admires the relationship between Chu Xian and An Sheng, but he also knows very well that not everyone can be as persistent as them. Yu Pan's identity is too sensitive, and his family's position is too dangerous. Chu Yue can allow I maintain a friendship with him, but I can't develop any deeper!

"Well, Your Highness, please."

As a 22-year-old "older" youth, how could Yu Pan notice the sprouting mentality of a 15-year-old youth, and watched them angrily towards the small group of Chu Hong and Pei Wei, and turned his back to everyone , sat on the ground with a thick blanket and continued to eat potatoes.

"..."

An Xu was not interested in punching and drinking with those good martial artists, and he never touched Yang Chunshui, so he couldn't help Pei Hao who was cooking food, so he reluctantly did the job of warming the wine. Jiana and Chu Yue came over one after another, and Yu Pan was the only one left by the pool to squat and eat potatoes. He was so pitiful, so he smiled and gestured to Pei Wei who was beside him, and then picked up the pot. The strong fruit wine walked towards Yu Pan.

"Why did you come here?"

Sensing someone approaching him, Yu Pan bit a potato and looked back. Seeing that it was An Xu coming, he couldn't help subconsciously scanning someone who was extremely protective of food, and unexpectedly got a warning glance... Yu Pan really didn't I understand, that kid Pei Wei has been in power for so long, why do you still treat him as a thorn in the side?Yu Pan really felt wronged in his heart, he and An Xu Mingming never saw eye to eye!

"Have you made arrangements at home?"

Sitting down at half an arm's length away from Yu Pan, An Xu hooked the wine pot with his fingers and handed it to Yu Pan, with a smile on his face that didn't diminish.

"My family is still hiding it, but my great-grandfather has already obtained His Majesty's grace. I still leave Beijing in the name of traveling, and then go directly to the hardest-hit areas after the war. After arriving, I will disclose the will of my Majesty to appoint me to supervise the censor. At that time, the matter is a foregone conclusion, no matter how dissatisfied the tribe is, it cannot be changed."

Yu Pan took a few sips from the jug handed over by An Xu, with a mocking smile on his face. Anyway, the two of them turned their backs to the crowd at this moment, and he was not afraid of being looked at.

Regarding the decision of the family to firmly support the third prince, Yu Pan and his great-grandfather, the only two voices of opposition, are really useless, and it is undeniable that when the Yu family has come to this point, it has indeed There is no turning back!

Therefore, the ancestors of the Yu family could only rely on the affection of Emperor Yude's grandfather to implicitly ask that Emperor Yude would leave Yu Pan as a root in the future, and Emperor Yude would appoint Pan Qin to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and release him to the outside world. Going to the local area and starting from the supervision of the censor can be regarded as showing the meaning of letting Yu Pan stay out of the matter, so that he will be less implicated by the family in the future. After all, the criminal law of the Cheng Dynasty mainly focuses on demotion and exile, and does not favor big prisons and implicated...

"You have always been transparent, take good care of yourself outside, and don't disappoint the old man's expectations."

Regarding the arrangement of Emperor Yude, An Xu understood the meaning after a little thought. The censor officer has no real power except to be able to listen to the wind, but therefore he will not be easily framed by others. He belongs to the Qingliu nobles. Emperor Yude's kind of protection for Pan, as long as Yu Pan is in the local area in the future, he will not be implicated when the Yu family is liquidated.

Maybe An Xu can't guarantee that the crown prince will succeed in the future. After all, Emperor Yude is still in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, so there are many variables. what time is it.

"……I see."

Yu Pan smiled wryly when he heard the words, then raised his head slightly and drank slowly towards the spout... He knew very well that he could not save the Yu family, and no one in the Yu family cared for him to save them. All he can do now is An An Staying in the same place, watching the collapse of the family with cold eyes, completely abandoning those people, so that he can cut off the shackles of the stigma of the power relatives and jesters, earn a clean background for himself, and then it is possible for him to be born in a certain future. Return to the imperial court one day, use your own way to honor the lintel of your family, or spend your whole life in depression, entrusting your hopes to future generations...

However, Yu Pan has more confidence in the prince's sages, and with An Xu and other confidantes in the court, he believes that as long as he can successfully succeed to the throne in the future, Yu Pan will be successful one day!

……

In the 31 years of Yude's Sheng Kingdom, there have been many happy events and good weather. Following the great victory in the war and the marriage with the Saint-Rolais Empire, the centennial celebration of the founding of the country was also held grandly, which made the heroes from all over the world marvel at the prosperity of the Sheng Kingdom.

But it is a pity that such a good year only lasted until the end of autumn in the 32nd year of Yude. Afterwards, nearly four provinces in the north of Sheng Kingdom encountered rare winter blizzards, and most of these places were still in the 30th year of Yude. In the hardest-hit areas of the war, just two years of recuperation was not enough to support the disaster relief of several places, so the entire imperial court was busy with many matters such as disaster relief and war prevention.

It wasn't until the spring of Yude's 33rd year that the four provinces were completely connected and the relief was completed, and the officials felt alive again.But they hadn't relaxed for a few days, and a few farmers held up a complaint signed by more than a thousand people in blood, stopped the official sedan chair of the chief minister of the cabinet, and sued a prefect in the disaster area for embezzling relief funds, selling relief food to foreigners, and even forcing Sheng The crime of making people slaves, selling and selling the country, etc., caused the emperor to be furious and full of uproar...

On the morning of February 33th in the [-]rd year of Yude, at the suggestion of the third prince Min, the seventh prince Xian, who had just passed his filial piety, was given the emperor's sword by Emperor Yude, and he was sent as an imperial envoy to investigate the case. Co-organizers!
