pet queen [rebirth]

Early the next morning, the convoy had to start again.

Yesterday, a bed was set up in the tent, while Sixian and Jiayi huddled together in another small tent set up.

In an extraordinary period, naturally one cannot deliberately sleep separately. Su Mingmo's legs and feet are already much better, at least he won't toss and turn in the middle of the night again, Xiao Qian is relieved a lot.

noon.

The convoy arrived at the hunting grounds.

The Beiman envoys also arrived, and Emperor Xuancheng received them in the palace of the hunting ground.

Emperor Xuancheng had important discussions with the envoys of the northern barbarians, and the rest had to wait and do their own thing.

Xiao Qian took Su Mingmo for a stroll around the hunting ground.

It's spring now, and the flowers are blooming just right.

The two were walking when they heard a familiar voice from among the flowers not far away: "What are you afraid of, there is no one here..."

"Prince...Prince, please spare me!"

"It's too late for me to hurt you, so how could I kill you?"

Xiao Qian was afraid that the approaching noise would startle the two of them, so he slowly suppressed the sound of his footsteps, and protected Su Mingmo behind him.

After a while, there was a strange kissing sound from among the flowers, and Xiao Qian retreated with Su Mingmo while the two were not looking.

Su Mingmo frowned: "Under the palace, and it happens to be the envoys of the northern barbarians visiting, the prince is doing such things outside the hunting ground where people come and go, it's really..."

"Is it insulting to the gentleman?" Xiao Qian smiled, "This is really too much like what a prince would do."

Su Mingmo looked up at him, always felt that the expression on Xiao Qian's eyebrows seemed to be accidental, but not too unexpected.

Did he anticipate something?

For example, that Lang Yu, how did Xiao Qian see that he was willing to be recruited?

After walking outside for a while, Xiao Qian took Su Mingmo back. Not long after, people around Emperor Xuan Cheng came to announce that they would summon Xiao Qian.

Xiao Qian turned around and said to Su Mingmo: "Just wait for me to come back."

Su Mingmo nodded, and Xiao Qian went to the conference hall where Emperor Xuancheng was.

In the meeting hall, the Crown Prince and King Duan were present, as well as the envoys of the Northern Man who stood aside.

As soon as the prince turned around and saw Xiao Qian, he said sarcastically: "The fourth brother is really late. I heard people say that the journey from the palace to the hunting ground, the fourth brother is inseparable from your princess."

The expression on Xiao Qian's face didn't change, he just said indifferently: "My king and my concubine are like glue, what's wrong?"

"you!"

In fact, the bedroom where Xiao Qian lived was the farthest from the meeting hall, so he was delayed when he came, and Emperor Xuan Cheng said: "Okay, stop arguing!"

Only then did the prince stop talking.

There were not many envoys from the northern barbarians this time, because what they asked for was not important.One is to offer tribute, and the other is to discuss with Emperor Xuancheng about opening another business route. Judging by Emperor Xuancheng's appearance, it seems that the matter has been negotiated.

For Emperor Xuancheng, he still valued this hunt.

Because Beiman had a different heart for a long time, and had frequent contact with Lang Xia in recent years, Emperor Xuancheng wanted to let the Beiman envoys see Da Jin's strength in the hunting ground.

In the first few years of Emperor Xuancheng's accession to the throne, the situation in the court was unstable. He emphasized civil affairs over military affairs, promoted civil officials and suppressed military officials. Now that most of the power in the court has been controlled by him, he realized that now Beiman and Langxia are his biggest rivals. enemy.

Fortunately, it's not too late now, the Jin Dynasty is full of talented people, even though Emperor Xuancheng has been emphasizing literature over martial arts for many years, there are still many generals with extraordinary skills.

Even for this spring hunting trip, the Imperial Palace guards and the prince's bodyguards alone can compete with the people brought by the Beiman envoys.

There are not many guards around Xiao Qian, and Siqing is enough for him.And because Emperor Xuan Cheng had specifically intervened before, this time Xiao Qian was sent to fight in person as the prince's representative.

And King Duan sent a guard from his palace. Needless to say, the prince, everyone knew that he kept many guards in the East Palace.

A few people were changing clothes and trying their mounts at the hunting ground, when they heard the crown prince reprimanding his guards: "What use are you for? You won't be useful at critical moments. Do you want to embarrass me?!"

Xiao Qian turned his head and saw several small guards standing in a row beside the prince.

These guards all looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, perhaps seventeen or eighteen years old, each of them looked thin, with varying degrees of injuries on their faces.

Those guards were all selected from the commander of the imperial army. Those children were sent to the palace to practice martial arts at the age of seven or eight. Although their family background was not comparable to that of princes and nobles, they were also from famous families.

Otherwise, how could it be so easy to be a guard in the palace.

But they don't know that those teenagers who have worked so hard to be brought into the palace by their families will be ravaged and trampled by the prince like this.

A few people were whipped by the prince last night, and they couldn't get on the horse, and a few people were afraid that they would be punished by the prince again if they failed, and no one made a sound.

With only one round eye, the monkey-like boy gritted his teeth and stood up: "Lang Yu, please order me."

"Okay!" The prince clapped his palms and smiled, "Have courage, Duan Xi, prepare a horse for him!"

Xiao Qian saw that he was going to lead the horse with Duan Xi with his back stiffened.

After changing the equipment, everyone came to the hunting ground.

Xiao Qian was dressed in riding attire, riding a brown horse under his hips.

What the crown prince gave to Lang Yu was a bloody BMW with four hooves on the snow.

That horse was given to the prince by Emperor Xuancheng, and it was a war horse.

Often this kind of horse is precious but fierce, and it is difficult to tame. It is dangerous for inexperienced people to ride it.

Xiao Qian turned his head and saw Su Mingmo sitting on a seat not far away looking at him.

Xiao Qian smiled at him.

Not far away, Emperor Xuancheng gave an order, and Xiao Qian rushed out with his horse's belly.

The hunting ground was very large, and it would take a lot of time to go deep into it. Xiao Qian didn't intend to stand out, nor did he want to show off. After getting a few trophies, he slowly slowed down, and wanted to wait until the time was almost up before heading back.

He rode against the wall to avoid attracting attention, and when he walked outside the wall where he met the prince in the morning, Xiao Qian heard a familiar voice again: "Prince... the prince is merciful..."

This prince really doesn't have a moment to spare.

"Why don't you show mercy, haven't you always had a lot of fun? Is it because I don't love you enough?"

Xiao Qian was listening with a sneer, when suddenly there was the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air not far away.

Xiao Qian hurriedly reined in his horse and took a step back.

With a sound of "Ding", the arrow feather was firmly nailed to the wall behind Xiao Qian.

"Fourth brother!" Duan Wang stood not far away on horseback, looked at Xiao Qian with a smile and said, "What are you doing there? Don't be tired and want to find a place to be lazy?"

The voices of the prince and the little guard behind the wall disappeared without a trace.

Duan Wang even came to the hunting ground.

Xiao Qian knew that King Duan's voice must have been spotted by the crown prince.

I don't know what plan King Duan has, but he wants to pull Xiao into the water so that he can't ignore it.

Xiao Qian smiled lightly, thinking, just right, anyway, he is going to find an opportunity to deal with the prince, so it is better to borrow Xiao Yuanqi's hand first.

He clamped the horse's belly, and left under the wall with Xiao Yuanqi tacitly.

In the evening, when the hunt came to an end, everyone counted the trophies and went to the palace, where Emperor Xuancheng rewarded everyone.

Duan Wang Xiao Yuanqi took the initiative to invite Ying in the middle of the game, and the trophies after playing were much more than Xiao Qian's who entered the hunting ground at the beginning. Xuancheng Emperor Longyan was very happy and rewarded Xiao Yuanqi with a lot of things.

While everyone was talking, suddenly there was a commotion outside the meeting hall.

Emperor Xuancheng frowned and said, "Li Youde, what's going on, go out and have a look."

Li Youde led the order to go outside, and came back with a solemn expression after a while, and said a few words in Emperor Xuancheng's ear.

Emperor Xuan Cheng's face changed drastically.

He didn't seem to want to publicize it to the outside world. After barely finishing the dinner, Emperor Xuancheng left early and asked the prince to go with him alone.

Now everyone knows the immoral things the prince did.

It was Lang Yu, the prince's guard, who caused the commotion outside the meeting hall.

He performed well in the hunting ground today, I heard that the prince's bloody horse tried to throw him off the horse several times, but Lang Yu was steady.

In the end, he drove the horse to kill a lot of prey, and his record was close to that of Xiao Qian. Emperor Xuancheng was very impressed with him, and rewarded him by the way.

Because of the banquet in the palace, the guards could not see Emperor Xuan Cheng up close, and could only eat outside the conference hall. He took this opportunity to ask to see Emperor Xuan Cheng, and it would be difficult not to spread the matter after such a commotion.

It is said that several guards under the prince were injured to varying degrees. The prince not only asked those guards to accompany him to do that kind of thing, but also physically punished them.

Lang Yu really couldn't see that his colleagues were scarred, so he made up his mind to sue the imperial court.

Emperor Xuancheng reprimanded the prince severely in the study of the palace, and asked him to dismiss the guards in his east palace as soon as possible, but the prince refused, and the two had a big quarrel.

Later, Emperor Xuancheng was really tired, so he drove the prince out of the study and asked him to go back and think about his mistakes behind closed doors.

In the end, not only did the prince not reflect on it, he even beat Lang Yu when he returned home. Tired from the beating, he went back to his room and went to sleep. When he woke up the next day, he found a strange man lying beside the bed.

The prince was startled and rolled off the bed.

At this moment, Emperor Xuan Cheng brought Li Youde through the door, and the two looked at each other.

The one lying next to the prince was the entourage brought by the Beiman envoy. The entourage was thin-skinned and tender, and looked quite delicate. It was said that he was very favored by the Beiman king.

Of course, that favorite is not a favorite of pampering, it is just because this person is very popular with the Northern Man King, otherwise the Northern Man King would not have specially sent him to follow the envoys to the Great Jin Dynasty.

That would be a big embarrassment. The Beiman envoys already knew about the prince's scandal after Lang Yu made such a fuss yesterday. Hearing the news this morning, he rushed to the prince's bedroom. When he saw the person he brought was lying on the prince's bed, his eyes changed. up.

Originally, Emperor Xuancheng planned to meet again today, send the Beiman envoys away, rest for another day, and then return to the capital.

This time, things were delayed.

Emperor Xuancheng had to think about how to explain this matter to the Beiman envoys.

In Xiao Qian's bedroom, Su Mingmo just woke up, opened his eyes against the morning light, saw Xiao Qian sitting on his bedside, saw him open his eyes, leaned over and kissed his forehead lightly.

"My lord..." Su Mingmo dazedly rubbed the place where Xiao Qian kissed him.

"Morning." Xiao Qian said.

"Morning." Su Mingmo rolled his almond eyes.

Xiao Qian turned his head back and slightly hooked the corner of his mouth.

Ziyu didn't reject his good morning kiss, there was a door.
