Gu Jingyun took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile: "Your official is not good at riding and shooting, but my wife is good at this. If His Royal Highness King Rong insists on a competition, it is better to invite my wife."

Li Baolu raised his head cooperatively and smiled at him.

The fourth prince is angry, is this a metaphor that he can only compete with one woman?

Look, this is the difference between Gu Jingyun and others' attitude towards women.

Li Baolu knew from the fourth prince's expression that she had no chance to go hunting on horseback, and she felt a little regretful before throwing it away.

The emperor glanced at his son, and said calmly: "The competition with Tatar is ongoing, no one is allowed to make trouble these two days, if you want to compete, wait until the competition is over."

The fourth prince bowed his head and held his hands together in response with a "yes".

But he couldn't help being suspicious, his father had always hated Tatars, why did he play in such a way this time?

You must know that the Tatars grew up on the grasslands, and riding and shooting were as common as walking, so they were very good at riding and shooting. It was not easy for Da Chu to beat them in this respect.

The fourth prince felt a little uneasy, secretly staring at his father from the corner of his eyes, he was not at all like the serious illness in the rumors, he still looked very healthy.

This was what he wanted to see the most. After all, his father doted on him. As long as he was alive, he would have the support to fight against the prince. But now his father is getting more and more distant from him, and this advantage has become a disadvantage. Pray for his health and longevity.

The fourth prince smiled wryly in his heart.

The emperor was also observing the crowd, and his eyes darkened when he saw the facial expression of his fourth son.

The prince is still sitting silently, drinking his tea without looking sideways, as if he does not exist. He has been living like this in front of the emperor these years. If he does not lower his sense of existence, he will be scolded by the emperor every time he sees it. .

The ten ministers looked at each other secretly, and they all felt the danger of the imminent rain. This is the politician's intuition about political risks, and there is no basis for it. son/grandson sent back.

The game came to an end in the evening, and both teams dragged out their prey. The Chu team was far ahead of the Tatar team, but no one was proud, because they all knew the reason.

It is not the first time for Da Chu's team members to come to this hunting ground. They have a better understanding of the distribution area of ​​prey, so they can gain the upper hand on the first day, but it is not necessarily the second and third day. The Tatar team will catch up the next day.

So that night, the Dachu team held a combat meeting. They decided to combine wisdom and strength to win, and give full play to the advantages of their host.

It is a matter of national prestige and 30% of Tatar's annual tribute, and no one dares to neglect it.

On the second day, the score of the Tatar team really caught up with the Dachu team, but the Dachu team was not inferior. Although the score distance was shortened, it was still ahead of the Dachu team. The third day was the last day, and everyone was very nervous. The fifth prince of Tatar even made an exception for a pre-match mobilization, yelling in Tatar with great pride.

Most of the people present did not understand, but Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu both understood.

As the largest country adjacent to Great Chu, and it is also a vassal state with a blood feud with each other, Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu learned Tatar language at the request of Qin Xinfang since they were young.

Li Baolu's language talent is a bit worrying, but the classmate sitting next to her, her deskmate from childhood is a genius, no matter how poor she is in learning, with such a classmate, her Tatar language at least passed Level 6, at least there is absolutely no problem in daily communication, which is much better than the English in memory.

Li Baolu looked up at the fifth prince. Just now the fifth prince encouraged the Tatar warriors and said: For the people under the snow disaster!

Tartar was hit by a snowstorm?

Li Baolu glanced at the emperor again, the fifth prince didn't seem like someone who would cooperate with the fourth prince to seize the heir apparent, and fifteen years ago the fifth prince was just a baby, right?

When Li Baolu was worried about whether there would be a result today, the game had already officially started. The two teams rushed into the forest and dispersed at the touch of a touch. Obviously, they had already divided the hunting area before.

Because today is the last day, the game time is only up to Shenzheng (4:00 pm), unlike in the past when you will be compared to Youzheng (6:00 pm), the free hour is not only to count the scores, but also to give the final result .

The two teams were obviously as if they had drunk chicken blood today, and they were very excited. Every half an hour, two players pulled out their prey and handed it to the referee to count the scores.

The speed at which the two sides harvested points was almost the same today. Obviously, the Dachu team also worked hard.

Affected by this atmosphere, the audience waiting outside gradually became excited. If it weren't for the image, they would have cheered for the big Chu team loudly.

Li Baolu was also a little excited after being infected, and said to Gu Jingyun with bright eyes: "This kind of competition is good. The major academies in the capital can hold it once a year to promote martial arts, so as not to let Da Chu value civility over martial arts. Come out with a few generals."

"Wait until I grow up." Maybe he can do it when he grows up and has more influence.

Gu Jingyun hadn't finished speaking, but Li Baolu understood. After looking at him for a long time, he couldn't help reaching out and touching his head, "It's coming soon, you see, we have been together for ten years, isn't it also a 'whoosh' sound? Is it over?"

"Show me with a whimper."

"Shhhhhhhh..."

Gu Jingyun: ...

Gu Jingyun turned his head away, with a line of words written on his face, "I don't know this gentleman."

Li Baolu couldn't help pursing her lips into a smile, the corners of her eyes disappeared, and there was only one slit in such big eyes.

On this day, everyone only went to rest in the tent for an hour at noon, and then sat on the lawn and continued to wait, but everyone did not wait.

There are cushions and futons under the buttocks, a low table in front of you, refreshments and fruits on it, and a sun umbrella propped up beside you. The breeze is blowing, and you are eating refreshments. If you ignore the increasingly hot weather, everyone Still very comfortable.

The emperor pulled out all the children from each family, first let them play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in different ways, and then played throwing pots. After everyone has performed, the time is almost up.

The sound of the gong indicates that there is still half an hour before the end. The players of the two teams have half an hour to drag out their prey.

In order to prevent the players from hearing the gong, the referees will light a signal flare and eject it into the sky after the gong sounds, so you can see it if you can't hear it.

Of course, if the other party neither hears nor sees, and has no sense of time, then the consequences will be at your own risk.

But obviously no one dared to challenge this rule, so the two teams rushed out at the last moment when the incense burned out, dragging a large number of prey with nets behind them.

The referees immediately stepped forward to count the scores, and the players from both sides sat on the horses and looked at each other.

Wei Yingjie glanced at the fifth prince's bloody hand, grinned and said, "Does the fifth prince's hand hurt? My Dachu's imperial doctor is good. I will beg Your Majesty to give you an imperial doctor later."

The fifth prince glanced at his arm hanging aside, and said calmly: "It's just bleeding, but Mr. Wei's arm seems to be in a bad condition. We Tatars are more experienced in pains such as bruises. Don't want me to let my warrior set your bones?"

The two sides chattered and walked towards Yuqian. When they got to Yuqian, both sides stepped forward with solemn faces. Wei Yingjie knelt down on one knee and saluted, and said, "Return to Your Majesty, I led the Dachu team back. One person was seriously injured and six were slightly injured." people, and no one was injured."

The fifth prince clenched his right fist and bowed his head on his heart, "Return to Your Majesty, I led the Tatar team back, four people were slightly injured, and no one was injured."

The emperor nodded with a smile, raised his hand and said, "You are all warriors. Regardless of whether you win or lose, the people of the two countries will be proud of you. Go down and wash up and get some medicine. When you come back, the results will be calculated."

Tatar is a vassal state of Great Chu, so in theory, the fifth prince is also a subject of the emperor, and the fifth prince, a subject, bowed his head respectfully and withdrew.

Wei Yingjie followed closely behind, he had to get his bones fixed, otherwise he wouldn't be able to drink at night.

The sky was getting dark, and the prey that had been counted were pulled to the imperial dining room, where they were selected by the palace people for the evening barbecue.

Yes, the emperor will have a bonfire banquet at night, and everyone will eat meat around the bonfire. In addition to meat, the imperial dining room also provides a variety of seasonal vegetables and soups and side dishes, which are well prepared and must satisfy you.

But looking at the darkening sky, the smile on the emperor's mouth became weaker and weaker, and as he glanced at Gu Jingyun, the eyes of the prince and the fourth prince became deeper and deeper.

No one noticed the abnormality of the emperor, except Concubine Lan Gui who was sitting on his left.

Concubine Lan Gui, who had been silent for a whole day, couldn't help shaking her hands. She put down the wine glass in her hand and got up calmly, but the emperor suddenly turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile, "Where is Aifei going?"

Concubine Lan Gui smiled softly: "The concubine will come as soon as she goes, your majesty will have dinner first."

Generally speaking, it means that she is going to change clothes, that is, it is convenient.

Sure enough, the emperor didn't stop her, but pointed to a court lady playing a fan beside him and said: "It's dark and the road is not good, let her help you go."

The maid put down the fan in her hand, and respectfully stepped forward to support Concubine Lan.

Feeling the strength on her arm, Concubine Lan Gui's heart sank, but her face became softer, and she thanked her with a smile and left.

Before she left, she couldn't help but glanced at the people behind her from the corner of her eyes, and seeing four strange maids following her, she felt a chill in her heart, and couldn't help but tighten her hands under her sleeves.

The palace maid walking behind Concubine Lan didn't know anything unusual, she thought it was the emperor who loved Concubine Lan, her master was back in favor again, and proudly raised her chin.

idiot!

The maid who was following her saw her secretly and said: She can't even tell the difference between surveillance and doting, no wonder the empress put her by her side to make a knife.

Concubine Lan went to the tent, and the maids sent by the emperor stared at her every step of the way, no matter how many excuses the confidants behind her made to transfer her away.

Similarly, her maids were all being watched closely, and no one could get rid of the four strange maids following up and act alone.

Concubine Lan Gui sat on the toilet, broke off her nails and threw them into the shadows in the last cruelty, and then she was waited to leave.

The maid stared at her all the time, but Concubine Lan's palace dress was heavy, and her wide sleeves covered her hands. She broke her nails without changing her expression, and then threw them down through her sleeves. .

A group of people quickly waited for Concubine Lan to leave.
