After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

The Spring Hunting Ceremony is a rule set by the ancestor emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it has been decades since.

It is held in March every year, and the official rhetoric is to pray for good weather and smooth farming that year.In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to find an opportunity to go out of the palace for a spring outing.

During the spring hunting, the king will leave the imperial city with his royal family, civil and military officials, and go to camp on the hunting mountain in the suburbs of Beijing.

The ceremony will last for three days, and the royal family and nobles will compete in the arena. Because the ancestor emperor loved hunting, there are many people who made it to the top with the Spring Hunting Ceremony.

When it came to Gu Hong in the Yongxi Dynasty, there were not a few people who received generous rewards for their spring hunting.

Therefore, every year there are children from aristocratic families who want to use spring hunting to stand out.

This year's spring hunt was even more grand than previous years. The envoys from the various ministries of Mengwu and Wei arrived in Dazhou just before the spring hunt, and Arisilan, the prince of Monan, was among them.Therefore, in order to show the kinship of the state, King Gu Hong invited the envoys and sons of the Mongolian family to accompany him.

Gu Xiusheng was born in the extreme northern wilderness, so he was somewhat partial to such things as galloping horses, but the hunting grounds in the palace could not satisfy Gu Xiu's yearning for galloping horses.In addition, after the New Year passed, Han Mochu added three articles on strategy and an article on art of war with him every day. The coursework was heavy, and Gu Xiu had to shrink and shorten the time he spent practicing spears every day.

As soon as the decree of the spring hunt comes, no matter how calm the 13-year-old boy is, he will inevitably feel anticipation.

Young people's minds are pure, and once they are a little distracted, people with discerning eyes can see it at a glance.

Although Gu Xiu's homework was as usual every day, and his handwriting was not scribbled, Han Mochu still found a few words that he didn't think about in those theories.

Han Mochu didn't say much, and he didn't speak earnestly like an old pedant.Instead, he grabbed Gu Xiu's left hand and drew twenty rulers firmly.

After drawing, he still didn't forget to pat Gu Xiu's shoulder in a soft voice and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't let grass grow in your heart at this moment. If your hand injury doesn't heal later, you won't be able to draw the bow, and you won't be able to draw the bow. I can't shoot arrows."

Although Gu Xiu has a stubborn temper, he can distinguish between right and wrong, Han Mochu has always been like this to him, he is strict with his teaching and has a certain degree of relaxation, as long as there is a mistake, he will never let it go.

After the mention of the twenty rulers, Gu Xiu's level of strategy and theory has reached a new height.

Two days before the spring hunt, Princess Qingzhao Gu Jin brought Gu Xiu a gift that caught Gu Xiu's eyes.

A silver coiled light armor worn by a young man.

At night, Han Mochu tried the light armor and Gu Xiu on his upper body, and Gu Xiu in the mirror was tall and straight, with a majestic appearance. The 13-year-old boy is as tall as Han Mochu's ears, his face is completely childish, and there is a little rookie heroism between his brows.

Gu Xiu, who was dressed in light armor, was exactly the same as the heroic female general in Han Mochu's impression. This child, Gu Xiu, seemed to have inherited all the advantages of the Yun family's loyalty.

Rather than saying that he is a prince, it would be better to say that he was born a general.

On the day of the spring hunting departure, Han Mochu, as the prince's courtier, accompanied the prince according to the rules.

Han Mochu was not qualified to wear armor, but he also changed into a neat riding outfit.Riding on horseback, he has an indescribably heroic, handsome and handsome aura.

Therefore, the next spring hunt is accompanied by various ministries of the Mengshi, in order to show the great week!In the wind of being a man, the king Gu Hong ordered that the prince and the sons of all clans should ride along with them on horseback.Except for the third prince Gu Shen who is really weak, the rest of the princes are not allowed to take the car.

"Hiss, I've been walking for a long time, can't I rest? My waist is almost broken." The sixth prince Gu You wobbled on his horse, his voice depressed like a piece of rotten meat drifting with the tide. , if it weren't for the well-trained Yuma, he would have thrown this muddy mud down a long time ago.

Gu You's behavior, as the eldest brother, the second prince Gu Zhi really couldn't see it, he rode up to the man, patted the man's waist, and motioned him to straighten his back: "Sixth brother, in the past you It's all right to be pampered, but there are still outside clans around today, so can't you restrain yourself?"

"It hurts!" Gu You's back straightened for a moment, and soon collapsed again: "Second Brother, why did you hit me? I'm young, and I can't ride such a tall horse. How can you blame me?"

"Sixth brother, if you are as weak as the third brother and can't ride and shoot, that's fine. You go to the hunting ground in the palace every day to play, and I don't see a time when you don't go. How far can you ride now? Can't bear it? "The fourth prince, Gu Yan, also rode up to Gu You, and raised his finger to point at Gu Xiu, who was not far away, who was in good shape: "Besides, the seventh brother is younger than you, isn't he riding well?"

"Hey, he's a wild wolf cub from the wilderness in the frontier! What's wrong with knowing how to ride and shoot?" Gu You pursed his lips angrily. The nearly 14-year-old boy had the cuteness of a little girl all over his face.

Gu Xiu was not far away from those three people, and he could hear their conversations. When Gu You called him a wolf cub, Gu Xiu turned his face to the side in a timely manner.

A sharp knife-like gaze stared at Gu You's neck so that he shrunk his neck, slumped lightly on the horse's belly, and rode towards the direction of Li Fei's car in the front row.

Two hours later, it was noon.

King Gu Hong ordered to rest at the same place, and all the princes found their mothers and concubines' cars to drive to rest.Gu Xiu has no mother, so he and Han Mo Chuyuan got off their horses and sat on the ground.

The spring breeze blows gently, making people feel comfortable all over.

"Chi'er, why are you sitting here? Fortunately, the elder sister is waiting for you in the car." Gu Jin led the two little maids of Bai Tan Yu Tan, carrying food boxes through the crowd who were resting on the spot, and walked to Gu Xiu. around.

Today's Gu Jin is also wearing a sleek and capable silver-red tight-sleeved dress. Women's dresses are different from men's. In order to highlight women's enchanting charm, there is an extra elegant silk sash around the waist compared to men's, which complements the Gu Jin, who was already pretty and delicate, became more and more cute.

"Elder Sister." Gu Xiu turned over and stood up, Gu Jin very naturally slapped the dust on the floor with others.

"Master Han, why don't you spread the bill with His Highness the Seventh Highness? How can you look like a prince? If I don't come, are you going to let my seventh brother use these dry rations on horseback for lunch? Is the water clear?" Gu Jin's chatterbox was opened, counting the crimes of Han Mochu's negligent care.

Han Mochu agreed one by one, even though he didn't understand what the princess said in the barrage of words.

"Forget it, since you little thing doesn't want to go back to the car with the elder sister, then the elder sister will accompany you to eat here." Gu Jin led the two maids to find a large soft silk blanket, which can accommodate the three of them at the same time. Sit on the ground.

The three of them sat in the spring breeze and ate with the mountain view in front of them.

There were two boxes full of snacks, but Gu Jin didn't eat a few mouthfuls. Most of the time, Gu Jin stared at Gu Xiu while he was eating.In Gu Jin's eyes, as long as Gu Xiu eats enough, sleeps well, grows tall, has a strong body, and is free from disease and disaster, he is better than anything else.

"Excuse me, nobleman, did you leave this thing behind?"

With a soft call unexpectedly, Gu Jin's gaze was pulled back from Gu Xiu's body.

A Mongolian youth of eighteen or nineteen years old, followed by four or five wolf guards with big arms and round waists, stood in front of the soft blanket where the three of them had dinner.The young man held a beautifully crafted bell made of sterling silver.

Because they didn't know who came, the three of them got up from their seats and looked at the young man opposite.

The young man looked coldly and didn't look like a Mongolian, he didn't have the roughness of ordinary Mongolians, his eyebrows even had the delicate features of people from the Central Plains, and he could speak the language of Da Zhou very fluently.

Gu Jin looked at the bell in the man's hand, and then at the silk sash around her waist. Sure enough, only one of the two bells that should have hung on the silk sash around her waist now remained, and the other one was unknown. When it fell off, the young man picked it up and held it in his hand.

Gu Jin raised his head, motioned for the maid behind him to pick up the silver bell, then turned around and thanked the young man, "Thank you, General, but I still don't know what to call you?"

"I am the eldest son of Mengshi Monan, Ari Silan." Ari Silan respectfully returned a salute to Gu Jin and asked softly, "I wonder who you are, a nobleman?"

"Back to Prince Alan, this is my Princess Chao Qingzhao." The palace maid next to Gu Jin stepped forward to answer Ari Silan's question.

As an outsider, Arisilan is not qualified to chat too much with the princess of the country.

"It's Her Royal Highness, I'm sorry." After learning of Gu Jin's identity, Ari Silan's attitude became a little more respectful.

Gu Jin said a few more words of thanks in a gentle voice, Han Mochu stood behind and could see very clearly, that Prince of Monan had the sky in his eyes!Eagerness toward the princess.

After Arisilan said goodbye, Gu Jin sighed, pulled off another silver bell from the silk sash around her waist, and said to the little palace lady beside her with a straight face, "Be more careful in the future."

*****

After lunch, the car started again, and after another fifty or sixty miles, the team finally arrived at the foot of Hunting Mountain before sunset.

Since the decree of Spring Hunting was issued, preparations have been made on the Hunting Mountain. The tents at the foot of the mountain have been set up, and the yellow curtains that show the imperial power are blocked all over the mountains and plains.

As it was getting late, Gu Hong ordered the royal family members and accompanying officials to settle down separately, and the spring hunting ceremony will officially start tomorrow morning.

Gu Xiu and Han Mochu had just settled down, when they heard a commotion outside the tent.The two went out to check, and it turned out that a group of Mongolian people had built a bonfire not far away, with a freshly slaughtered lamb in the middle of the bonfire, and everyone sang and danced around the bonfire.

Gu Xiu looked at those foreigners gathered in front of the fire, and fell into deep thought for some reason.

Han Mochu reached out and patted Gu Xiu's shoulder and said softly, "Your Highness, do you want to go and have a look?"

"No need." Gu Xiu shook his head, and pulled Han Mochu back into the tent, "I was just wondering if there is any mutton to eat in the Northern Wilderness just after the winter snow."

Han Mochu smiled and stroked Gu Xiu's hair: "Your Highness, you miss the people from far away, and the people from far away also miss His Highness. For His Highness's peace of mind, they will definitely cherish it."

"Well, what Master Han said is true." Gu Xiu replied lightly, obviously depressed.

"Your Highness, I brought Zhang Zhan's map with me on this trip. If you don't feel sleepy, how about I practice the formation with you?"

"Okay." The haze on Gu Xiu's face was swept away by Han Mochu's words in an instant, and he stared at Han Mochu with burning eyes: "Then no matter whether you win or lose, you need to fight three sets."

Gu Xiu, a little wolf cub, was obsessed with these military tactics by nature, and every time he simulated the confrontation between the two armies on the sand table, he felt extremely excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Even so far he hasn't beaten Han Mochu once.

"Five rounds, my minister will accompany you to fight five rounds, will it work?" Han Mochu shook his head, looking at Gu Xiu whose eyes were as bright as stars, he always felt that this wolf cub had seen the battle map in his bag before, so he pretended sad.
