Linque

In the evening, Ling Ye came back from the banquet early after having a few glasses of wine, only to find that Chu Heng was still sleeping, feeling drowsy and restless.Ling Ye frowned. He slept for a long time in the afternoon, and took a nap again in the evening. Before leaving for the dinner, Ling Ye told him to get up and have dinner later, but the man listened to it, but I didn't take it to heart at all.

Ling Ye walked over and touched Chu Heng's forehead. Seeing that he didn't have a fever, he felt relieved a little. While ordering the waiter to pass on the meal, he pushed the slacker, "I'll ask someone to bring the dinner, and drink a bowl of soup before going to bed. , otherwise it will be uncomfortable at night."

Chu Heng was not very happy, snorted twice and turned his back to ignore him.

Ling Ye refused, and pulled him back, "Didn't you sleep during the day, why are you still so sleepy?"

Now that he woke up even if he didn't wake up, Chu Heng sat up with the strength of Ling Ye's hand, opened his eyes and looked at him, and said, "I have to ask you all this."

"Then I'm wronged." Ling Ye handed the cloak to Chu Heng to put it on, and said, "It was only a quarrel just now, but I slept well last night."

Where did this fatigue come from?Chu Heng thought for a while, and felt that the culprit was still the person in front of him, and his tone was drawn out: "Oh, how about going further?"

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the last night they lived in Zhenbobieyuan, the time was extremely precious, Ling Ye hugged him in the hot spring pool of Plum Garden "I don't know how long it will be".

But that happened the day before yesterday, but for some reason, Chu Heng always felt a little out of spirit, as if he had a bit of a cold.Ling Ye asked Imperial Physician Xuan to take a look, and it happened that the servant came over with dinner, and the glutton in Chu Heng's stomach was aroused, Ling Ye saw that he was determined to eat, and his appetite was just enough, so he didn't mention the Imperial Physician again.

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the next day, the Lantern Festival, the spring search in the ninth year of Xuanxi kicked off.

With the sound of the horn, the arrows were shot out, and the young children of the family and the imperial guards swung their whips and galloped into the forest. Only the elders and some female relatives were left at the reading platform, and the Queen Mother came with Princess Jing .

No matter how marginalized the children of the ethnic group are, they have more opportunities to climb the Qingyun Ladder than the poor outsiders. Chunsou is their home field, and it is a great opportunity to become famous and show off their abilities.

The high-ranking princes and generals just went back and forth into the hunting grounds, catching two or three wild animals for show.Even His Majesty himself, after hunting the first stag in Shanglin Garden, returned to the reading platform, deliberately giving up the place to the young talents below who were eager to make their debut. ①

The rankings on the first day of hunting have always been the most interesting, and today is the Lantern Festival, His Majesty’s decree doubled the prize. With scruples, they became more and more active, scrambling to catch the second deer in the garden - this is another big prize besides the ranking.

When everyone is trying their best to make progress, a few people who are not motivated will appear particularly abrupt, such as Yuqian Servant Mo and Chu Heng.

The imperial driver returned to the reading platform, and all the other guards accompanying the emperor had left the hunting ground, but he was the only one who was still there, riding on a horse in a dark purple hunting suit, tall and straight, accompanied by the emperor, sharing among the crowd conspicuous.

The spring search is a grand event in the capital. Apart from the young heroes, the wives of the big and small families in the imperial capital are basically all present, just waiting for the ranking of the hunting to come out, so that they can "catch a son-in-law under the list".Not to mention, at least the appearance of the second son of Zhong Ping Hou's family is really good, purple is the most attractive, but wearing this clothes on him makes him more beautiful, so neat and tidy .

To say that this manner is not bad, in front of Shengjia, this incompetent imperial servant, Mo Mo, not only was not compared to the soil, but because of the color matching of his clothes, he got the honor of His Majesty - the cyanosis on his clothes was just right. It's the color of the emperor's lapel—the two rode over one after the other, which seemed to complement each other quite a bit. When good-looking people get together, no matter how you look at it, you feel seductive.

The orders who landed on the reading platform had their own thoughts in their eyes, and immediately some wives from small families came to ask Mu Xiyun about Chu Heng.Everyone was happy, but the caring person pulled the corners of his mouth down.

Wen Xinhou's wife, Mrs. Lin, looked at Chu Heng's clothes that faintly matched the emperor's, and felt dazzling no matter how she looked at it.It's just that this sycophantic minister has no sense of shame, but now he's getting more and more reckless, dancing in front of people, thinking that with this nonsensical clothes, he can make a perfect match with the emperor, right?

The Shen family of Yanhe belongs to the Dinghe family, and the Lin family is seated at the front. The unhappiness on her face fell into the eyes of the Empress Dowager Zhong, a little smile appeared on her lips, and she supported Princess Jing He said kindly with his hands: "Your Majesty's vision is really good. The imperial servant Mo who was selected from the Hall of Martial Heroes usually looks silent, but now he is not at all shabby when he is pulled out in the sky. He stays with His Majesty Nothing seems unworthy, but the monarch and his ministers deserve each other."

When the queen mother spoke, the people below naturally responded, it was only the queen mother who acted like a loving mother in front of the courtiers, and said a few polite words, but Lin's ears were very responsive, and her heart couldn't help being agitated - Queen Mother Zhong I'm afraid he already knew that there was a blood feud between the mother and the son of the Tian family, and the emperor favored a male instead of a concubine, so the queen mother didn't care, and maybe she would be happy to help.With her approval, it would not be difficult for Chu Heng to enter the inner court, and there is no precedent in palace history.

Lin suddenly felt a suffocation stuck in his throat, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

The emperor dismounted and marched to the reading platform, and came to make a show to greet the queen mother, and the imperial servant Mo was waiting at the bottom of the steps with the emperor's shadow guard.All the people on the stage stood up to greet him, the emperor walked in, nodded to the empress dowager sitting on the throne, said "mother queen", and waved his sleeves to ask everyone to stand up.

The queen mother nodded, and said kindly: "The emperor came just in time, we are talking about your servant ink."

The Empress Dowager started the conversation, and all the orders present praised Chu Heng one after another. Seeing this, Mrs. Lin was stuck in her heart, and couldn't help but continued: "You have your appearance, and then you have to show your ability. That's really good, Chu Shimo has studied art in Lishan Mountain for many years, and he has some skills in his body, but why doesn't it end?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a moment of silence on the reading platform. The emperor glanced at Mrs. Lin with a calm expression, but did not speak.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what was wrong with Mrs. Wen Xinhou, but she suddenly asked such an embarrassing question—you must know that Chu Heng's master, Mu Xiyun, is sitting here!To be honest, His Majesty doesn't look good either!

How can someone answer this?

There was a moment of silence on the reading platform. Mu Xiyun put down his teacup and was about to respond, but Jing Xueli, the teacher of the Nanxi Kingdom who was sitting in the guest seat, suddenly said, "Of course it's to save face for others."

Jing Xueli looked at the person who raised his head following the sound and his eyes were condensed, the eyes of the two met in mid-air, Jing Xueli stared at Chu Heng's face, and continued leisurely: "I think my little brother still has some things that others can't match. at."

... She smoothed things over, but everyone didn't expect it. Didn't it all say that Li Shan and Wu Xinghai had a grudge against each other?Although this remark is reluctant, fortunately, it is also a bit unreasonable.

But Mu Xiyun heard something else from it, his eyebrows twitched, and he immediately continued: "Aside from other things, my apprentice is also quite skilled in shooting and hunting. If Mrs. Lin wants to see it, you might as well let him have a try. But just like what the national teacher said, if the princes present lost to him, it might not look good."

Lin choked.All the ladies here are wives from aristocratic families who know each other well. Who doesn't know that although Shen Yingbo, son of Marquis Wenxin, possesses wisdom, he has deficiencies.For martial arts such as Chunsou, the Shen family has always bet on the family's concubine and offspring.

Being poked in the sore foot by someone's retort, Lin had no choice but to suppress the depression in her heart, and did not mention the matter of Chu Heng's end.But she rested her mind, and some people didn't agree.

Jing Xueli stood up, smiled and said: "When I first came to Dayin Imperial Capital, I heard that the deer raised in Shanglin Garden are the most wild and difficult to get close to. Since I am lucky enough to be here, it would be a pity not to see it. Retire with Your Majesty and the Queen Mother first, and I will also catch one and have a look."

As soon as the words came out, there was no sound on the reading platform. Although Jing Xueli is a senior, she is the envoy of Nanxi after all. If the second deer is really hunted by her, Dayin and His Majesty will be dishonored.

Jing Xueli didn't wear riding clothes when she came in the morning, and everyone thought that the grand master would not end, but unexpectedly something happened.It's also a coincidence that Ling Qi, the leader of the Shadow Guard of the Son of Heaven, has not returned from his mission, and the deputy commander, Rong Shan, can no longer leave the front of the imperial court. There is a wall between them. In the contest, they all got up and prepared.

Hunting pays attention to the right time, place and people. Jing Xueli has reached the extreme of "human harmony". I can only hope that she will not see wild deer too soon.

Chunsou's rule is to capture alive, the servant came with a blunt arrow, Jing Xueli flew on the horse, but she didn't want it, her eyes slowly passed over Chu Heng, and then glanced at the generals of Marquis Dayin on the reading platform, clasped her fists and said : "I am here, the weapons are free, everyone please."

——She is in the Mahayana realm, and she gave up the bow and arrow to defeat the crowd with one opponent, it is almost obvious that it is the end of the battle.

The generals on the reading platform immediately asked for orders before entering the hunting ground.

Xu Shi was infected by this hot-blooded energy, and the imperial servant Mo who had been standing at the foot of the stone steps raised his head, looked at the person on the throne, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please go."

There were too many people begging for orders at the moment, and no one would pay attention to the dispensable Imperial Attendant Mo, but the emperor on the throne smiled slightly, with a very shallow curve on his lips——

"allow."

①The deer has a special meaning, such as "chasing the deer in the Central Plains". Therefore, after the emperor touches the deer during hunting, other talents can do it.The second person to hunt a deer will have a big prize, which is a private setting.
