Offer a tripod

Chapter 24 Autumn Hunting

Emperor Yan unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and soon became suspicious again. Chu Yu has always been indifferent, not a playful person, it is rare to have this opportunity, he does not seek to be promoted, but wants to resume the Lantern Festival, it is strange some.Staring at him for a moment, he turned his eyes to Yuan Jing calmly. Yuan Jing didn't expect Chu Yu to make this request. He knew that he was secretly happy for his own sake. Dazed and ignorant.

Emperor Yan withdrew his gaze and said: "It's not difficult, but I see that you don't like to join in the fun, why are you suddenly interested in the Sky Lantern Festival?"

Chu Yu was stunned, and secretly cried out that he had made a mistake, and he was not ready for this rhetoric.On the contrary, the old prime minister listened to his request, felt relieved, and replied: "On the day of Lantern Festival, all the ladies in Beijing, Biyu, love to go out and play. They used to gather at the Lantern Festival. Last year..." Smooches smiled: " The eldest son is young and lives alone in Beijing, so it is only human nature to want to join in the fun."

Emperor Yan suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, I was negligent, but nothing is done this year, if you want to re-hold the Lantern Festival, I'm afraid it will be a bit rushed, so let's hold it next year." Having said this, he smiled slightly, and his expression became more and more amiable : "You have also reached the year of marriage negotiation. If you fancy a lady from a famous family, just bring it here and show me."

Chu Yu thanked him calmly. From the corner of his eyes, Yuan Jing pursed his lips tightly and looked at him with a hidden smile in his eyes. Although his expression was the same as usual, his legs under the robe were raised.Standing aside with his hands behind his back, he thought nonchalantly: Where did the famous lady come from?Just a little grinder.

Emperor Yan ordered people to carry the tiger down, and held a new banquet for Chu Yu, and placed it in a place separated from Yuanjing by one step. During the banquet, Emperor Yan said: "I have done such a hard job for you, You still haven't thanked people."

If it wasn't for hindering others, Yuan Jing couldn't help but want to rush over, but now Emperor Yan brought it up and said it, but he was a little embarrassed.He walked up to Chu Yu in a regular manner, poured a glass of wine himself, looked up at his face, and said in a rare tone: "You have worked hard."

Seeing that he was holding back his laughter and enduring it harder than hunting tigers himself, Chu Yu also put on a straight face, and said politely: "Thank you, I dare not work, Your Highness." When he took the wine glass, Yuan Jing scratched it on his palm with his little finger After a moment, smiled slightly, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

The feast ended at night, and Emperor Yan wanted to stay with Yuan Jing to talk for a while, so Chu Yu went back first.Seeing him leaving, Yuan Jing didn't stay in a daze, and after a few casual words, he chased after him.No lamps were lit in the side tent, only the shining luminous pearls on the bed curtain.Seeing Chu Yu standing by the bed changing clothes, Yuan Jing became very playful, and quietly walked over without saying a word.Chu Yu discovered it as soon as there was a movement there. He pretended not to know, and when the little thing came close, he suddenly pounced on him, then staggered sideways, clasped his hands, lifted him up, and said with a smile: "I'll help you!" If you want a reward, you will repay your kindness and come to sneak attack me?"

Yuan Jing laughed, put his legs crossed on him and hugged him, and pressed his face into his deep neck: "You are so kind, I like you the most."

Chu Yu was so pushed that he almost lost his footing, and said in his mouth: "How old are you still acting like a baby? Don't go down quickly." But he didn't let go, and held him with one hand to light a lamp. Let him be happy enough , then said: "Go and remove the black cloth on that cage."

Yuan Jing looked happy, and instantly understood: "Is there anything else for me?" He jumped off him, and with the bright light from the lamp beads in the tent, he lifted the black cloth.When the thing inside saw the light, it let out a "woo hoo".Yuan Jing was stunned when he saw it - it was actually a two-foot-long cub, stretching its claws and wagging its tail, it was really cute.He looked at Hu, then at Chu Yu, his voice trembling slightly: "Is this for me?"

Chu Yu sat by the bed and started to tease him again: "Well, you just have to play with the little tiger." This time Yuan Jing didn't have any dissatisfaction. Before he could hug him, he rushed back, took out the cub from the cage, sat down on the soft blanket, and started playing with the tiger.Chu Yu knew that he would not be able to take care of himself for a while, so he shook his head, put his hands behind his head, and lay down on the bed alone, leaving a big space for him: "Come and sleep after playing for a while."

The upsurge of playing over there, I didn't hear it at all, and let out an "oh" like coping.About an hour later, Chu Yu Xiaohan woke up, and Yuan Jing was still playing with the little tiger with great interest.Chu Yu has seen his skill of forgetting to eat and sleep when it comes to having fun, and he knows that depending on his temperament, he might be able to play until tomorrow morning.He said in a deep voice, "Come and sleep."

Yuan Jing agreed with his lips, but he didn't move his butt. Chu Yu had no choice but to get up and catch him himself.When he got closer, he saw several animal tooth marks on his ten fingers, the bloodstains had dried up, and the depth of the wound could not be seen.Immediately angry, I squatted beside him to check: "How did you do it?"

Yuan Jing didn't care, and shook his hand: "It accidentally bit it while eating meat." Looking up and seeing Chu Yu's face, he held the cub in his arms warily: "It doesn't hurt."

Beside him was a plate still stained with blood, presumably he had just fed the tiger.Chu Yu frowned. When he captured the cub, he saw that it was still small, as if it was still a cub suckling, but now he saw that he had lost his eyes.He suppressed his anger and said, "Put it back."

Yuan Jing looked down, rubbed it a few more times reluctantly, and put it into the wooden cage obediently this time.The young tiger's relatives suddenly left his embrace and turned around in a hurry in the cage, whining non-stop.Yuan Jing's heart ached again when he heard the voice, he stretched his fingers through the cage to touch it, and looked at Chu Yu pitifully, the meaning was self-evident.Chu Yu pulled his hand back, and said impatiently: "Anyway, you will be killed when you grow up, you can just play around, why can't you let it go."

Yuan Jing played with it all night, just when he was in high spirits, when he heard the word "kill", he was anxious and annoyed, even holding the cage in his arms: "Kill what? This is my tiger. Who dares to kill it?"

Chu Yu said: "It already knows how to eat meat. It is wild and unruly. Who would dare to keep it by your side when it grows up? The palace doesn't keep such beasts, so what if you don't kill them?"

Yuan Jing said angrily: "If I say I won't kill you, I won't kill you. When I grow up, I will be my little tiger!"

Chu Yu was not happy when he saw that he was injured, and when he saw that he was angry with himself for other things, he sneered: "How can the emperor agree to you getting so close to this beast? When he wants to kill him, how can you?" How is it?" He picked up the cage in his hand, threw it aside, and dragged him over to apply the medicine.

Today’s good atmosphere disappeared because of this matter, Yuan Jing turned his back to him when he went to bed, Chu Yu knew that he was having a temper with him, looked at him for a long time, the hand that wanted to hold him had already lifted it, and put it down again .He just threw the only quilt on the bed on him, and fell asleep with his arms folded, leaving it alone.This night, however, he couldn't sleep well. In the dream, Yuan Jing was holding the cage, with his eyes downcast and crying.At this time, the autumn rain outside the tent had stopped, and the cold wind whistled in his ears. Chu Yu couldn't bear the cold, and turned over in his sleep to hug the child beside him, but he didn't want to, but found nothing.Busily got up to check, the inside and outside of the tent were empty, where was the shadow of Yuan Jing?After searching carefully, he found that even the tiger cage that he left aside had disappeared.

Chu Yu cursed secretly, vaguely guessing his whereabouts, picked up the cloak beside the bed and went out.

There were no stars or moon in the night, only the light of the lanterns in the hands of the guards on patrol.He quietly avoided others and walked out of the paddock.Once out of the camp, the pace changed from brisk walking to running wildly.The farther we went, the darker the surroundings became, and thinking about how many beasts were hidden in such an environment, the worries in my heart were constantly magnified in the boundless silence.It wasn't until he saw a small figure walking towards him in the distance that he heaved a sigh of relief, untied the tether of the cloak with his backhand, and stood on the spot with his hands behind his back.

Yuan Jing walked with his head down, bumped into a person suddenly, thought it was a ghost, and screamed in fright.Chu Yu supported his shoulders so that he wouldn't fall down. He was very annoyed, but his tone didn't dare to be too fierce: "What are you doing here?"

Yuan Jing heard that it was him, patted his chest, turned his head and said, "I put it on the mountain in front."

Chu Yu already had some regrets when he went to bed at night. The little thing seemed careless, but in fact he had a delicate mind. If he was scared casually, he might be sad for a long time.It's just that he didn't expect him to care so much. For a moment, he felt a little guilty.He tied the cloak on Yuan Jing's body, and said unnaturally: "Don't you like it very much? Don't you feel bad if you let it go?"

Yuan Jing said in a low voice: "My heart hurts, but if it goes back, no one will kill it." Chu Yu opened his mouth, his throat was astringent, and he didn't know what to say.Unexpectedly, Yuan Jing raised his head to comfort him: "Brother, I've thought about it, you're right, when it grows up, even if Father doesn't kill it, he won't ask me to play with it anymore, instead of Let it stay alone in the palace, it is better to go back to the mountains."

Chu Yu touched his cold face, and said in a low voice: "It's just a beast, and it's not worthy of His Highness to spend so much time on it."

Yuan Jing shook his head: "It's mine, so I should treat it better." He stretched out his hand to Chu Yu and let him pull him: "Go back."

Chu Yu wrapped his hand completely in his own, and sneered at his naive idea in his heart: How can you call it good if you put it back?You can't take care of it when it's hungry, cold, or injured or sick. Since you like it, you should keep it by your side and take good care of it.

He walked away with his arms around Yuan Jing for a while, seeing that the little thing kept his head down, and for some reason, the sad face in his dream appeared in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help sighing: "I belong to you too, why don't you treat me better?" What should I do if I lost it when I ran around in the middle of the night?" It took Yuan Jing a while to react, he raised his head and said "ah", and was immediately hugged by him, only to hear a gentle voice above his head, and then The back was also patted: "Okay, don't be sad."

Yuan Jingqiang's pretended calm was broken by this sound. He only felt his nose sore and his eyes flushed. He buried his face in Chu Yu's arms: "Brother."

Chu Yu stroked his hair, and raised his voice slightly: "It's just a beast, how can you feel sorry for it? It doesn't matter if you kill it or grow up, as long as you are happy, big brother can find you ten hundred. Just come back."

Yuan Jing shook his head, wiped away his tears on him, and said in his heart: "Those are not my little tigers anymore."

Chu Yu hugged him and stood for a long time, until the body in his arms no longer trembled, and said softly: "Are you tired from walking so far? Brother carries you back?" Before he could answer, he had already squatted down: "Come up " Yuan Jing obediently lay on his back, pressing her face to the back of his warm neck.Chu Yu's annoyances of the night were finally gone at this moment, and he supported him to make him lie more comfortably: "It's windy, put your hands in my collar, and sleep when you're sleepy."

They walked for a long time in the cold wind and light rain. Seeing the paddock approaching and the star lights lit up, Yuan Jing asked as if waking up from a dream: "Will it be fine?"

Chu Yu thought indifferently: You can't see the good and the bad, so what's the point?He said casually, "Yes."
