==Chapter 41 Hunt==
(Dream)
In early spring, it is drizzling.
The clouds in the distance urge the sunrise, and there is a beautiful scenery outside the mountains.
Emperor Jiaxuan came to Lishan Villa with all his civil and military officials and the female family members of the harem.
The emperor is sitting on a high platform, wearing narrow sleeves, a square collar and sleeveless armor, a Tatar hat on his head, and white boots on his feet.
"Today's spring search, I'm waiting to see you show off your talents."
After saying that, the emperor raised his arm.
Suddenly the drums and horns sounded.
The viewing platform built by the Ministry of Industry this time is very large. The emperor is on the left, flanked by his ministers and eunuchs, and the queen is on the right, flanked by high-ranking concubines and royal family members
Children of aristocratic families, princes and ministers came out one after another to participate in the hunt, with white blades flashing and flags covering the sun. In the hunting ground, the roar of insects and the croaking of deer can be heard all over the place.
The female family members are as usual here. At first glance, they seem to be happy, but in fact, there are undercurrents.
Jing Bin looked at the green trees under the warm sun and said quietly, "This Lishan Villa is really full of spring scenery, which makes people feel relaxed and happy."
This is the concubine Jing who is very favored by the emperor recently. His brother Jing Changyi was originally a seventh-rank official. Because of his good kung fu, he was appreciated by his majesty. In addition, Jing Concubine is favored, and now he is a fifth-rank official. Pin the Ministry of War and Qing Li Division.
Right now, there are rumors inside and outside the palace that it is said that Concubine Jing wanted to see the beautiful scenery of Lishan Mountain, so His Majesty chose Lishan Mountain as the venue for spring searches.
The Queen of Chu glanced at her and said, "If Concubine Jing likes it, she might as well stay here for a few more days."
"My Majesty said, I am so cowardly, how dare I live in the mountains without the pressure of His Majesty's Dragon Qi." Everyone couldn't help but curl their lips after saying this.
Queen Chu snorted lightly.
Jing Bin knew that the Queen was happy, so she lowered her head and looked timidly towards Emperor Jiaxuan——
But at this moment, the horns of the wind were blowing, and the emperor was a womanizer, and all he could see was the galloping horse.
EnclosureThe eagle spread its wings and hovered in the sky. Xiao Yu tightened the reins, stared at it for a moment, then suddenly raised his arm, drew the bow into a full moon shape, and quickly released the thumb holding the arrow.
"Duh——"
The arrow left the string and flew through the air as fast as lightning. It was stuck on the eagle's neck. Almost at the same time, an arrow was also stuck on the eagle's wing. .
The arrow at the back was shot by Su Huai'an, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Standing in the paddock in charge of counting the officials, he waved his flag to indicate that this eagle belonged to the King of Jin.
There is a rule in the paddock counting. If the arrow is shot at the right moment, the winner or loser will be determined by the point where the arrow falls.
The eyes and neck are up, and the rest are down.
Xiao Yu and Su Huaian looked back at each other to strike their bows.
Lang Jun's spring shirt is thin and he rides a horse to enjoy the spring breeze. He is really worthy of saying that he is as bright as a jade tree in front of the wind.
Looking at the two heroic figures, no one could help but sigh that the Su family's daughter had a good life.
Seeing this, Empress Chu finally came to her senses. She looked at Su Ling and teased: "Aling, Master Sanlang and Mr. Su's shooting skills are so outstanding, why haven't you learned a few points?"
Su Ling: "After returning to my mother, in fact, Aling has been asking for advice from His Highness recently."
The Queen of Chu rubbed the Buddhist beads on her hand, and suddenly said: "Oh? It's rare for him to do something lovable. How does he know how to teach?"
Su Ling: "Compared to last time, I must have made some progress."
Seeing that Su Ling made the move to mention the last time, the Queen of Chu smiled and said, "Okay, I will wait and see in a while."
An hour later, the Ministry of War announced the conclusion of the game.
At this moment, the bejeweled Duke Changning, wearing a peach-colored satin cloak, Shi Shiran came over and said, "Changning has met the queen."
"Without courtesy, come and sit down quickly." Empress Chu tilted her head to Sun Zhaoyi and said, "You mean Changning has been hit by the wind and wants to rest in Nanyuan? Why did you come here?"
Sun Zhaoyi: "This is my son, I can take care of you."
Chang Ning sat down next to Su Ling. After looking into the distance, he greeted both sides: "Three imperial sisters-in-law, are you finished playing?"
The young master was playing for a while. Not to mention the wind, he had to throw pots and shoot arrows even if he was suffering from body heat. When he got older, he just had to go back to the palace and drink some decoction for a month.
Princess Cheng: "Yes, the show is over."
Princess Yan 揶揄: "Mr. came a little late, and I did miss a lot..."
There is something in Princess Yan’s words that everyone must understand.
My father-in-law is not yet married. A scene like today where young talents gather together is definitely a good opportunity to choose a prince-in-law.
Chang Ning said softly, "Oh," and followed them: "It's a pity, it's a pity."
However, I don’t care who was there just now, I only care whether I can have a good time today.
Changning Gong ate two grapes, Su Ling said: "How is third brother? He is number one again?"
Su Ling nodded, "Yes."
Immediately afterwards, Chang Ning turned to Princess Cheng and Princess Yan: "What about the second one?"
According to the experience of previous years, the second one is King Cheng, which is King Yan.
Princess Cheng: "The second one today is Mr. Su, the Young Minister of Dali Temple."
Chang Ning frowned and thought for a moment, Mr. Su...oh, is he the brother of the Third Emperor's Wife?
If the crown prince of Zhenguo ends up competing, secondly, it is also reasonable.
For Duke Changning, these things just passed by in a flash. He raised his head and asked Queen Chu: "Queen Mother, when should we start?"
"You child, please wait a moment and warm yourself up first." Empress Chu said to the palace attendant: "Go and get the prince a bowl of **** soup."
Coming with Jiang Tang were the three princes and Su Huaian.
Su Huai'an appears here because in this spring search, the female family members need gentle Hequ horses, and these Hequ horses are all horses from the Su family.
Su Huai'an took a step forward and nodded: "To the Queen, I have prepared the Hequ horse and light bow, and you can enter the shooting range."
The Queen of Chu looked at Duke Changning and said, "Changning, have you seen me? You can go pick up the horse."
Chang Ning put down his hand, Jiang Tang, and raised his head in response.
When he raised his head, he met Su Huaian's eyes.
The man in front of me has a face like a crown jade, eyes with gleaming eyes, and a figure as independent as a lone pine in the rock, and as majestic as a jade mountain about to collapse.
Looking at him with every movement, as if staring into a hole.
Tianjia Gong's gaze can be said to be straightforward and direct, with several big words written clearly on his face - this Su's eldest son, really, has an unworthy reputation.
Su Huaian was startled, then he bowed respectfully, "I have seen you, sir."
Chang Ning suddenly grasped the **** soup tightly, and the pearl hairpin on his head swayed in the wind.
Countless years have passed since then, but I still remember that at that moment, he appeared in front of me in such a normal and ordinary way.
The young master did not respond for a long time. Everyone could see that he was a little satisfied. Su Ling raised his arm and said, "Chang Ning, let's go. I will accompany you to pick a horse." Bow."
Mr. Changning came back to his senses. After standing up and walking away, he couldn't help but look back. But Su Huaian had already turned his back.
The women are riding horses and shooting arrows, replacing the wild beasts with targets. It must be more lively than the hunt just now, but the emperor unexpectedly cheers for them.
Every female family member arrived at the shooting range one after another, first took the light bow, and then chose the horse.
The Queen of Chu looked ahead and said to Xiao Yu: "Sanlang, I heard from you that you taught Aling archery?"
Xiao Yu looked at Su Ling's back as she got on her horse, and suddenly said: "My son taught me this, mother, let's see."
The Queen of Chu looked at Xiao Yu with a look of interest in her eyes, and turned the Buddhist beads in her hand.
Princess Cheng's archery skills were even better than last time, with ten arrows hitting six hearts. Princess Yan was a little worse, hitting only twice. Then, it was Su Ling's turn.
There was a big fuss last time, so this time, before the bow was drawn, everyone's eyes fell on him.
