Self-cultivation after the cannon fodder

Chapter 32

The hunt has been talked about for a long time, or should be said, prepared for a long time. Zhu Sining has only heard it from others, but it seems that it has nothing to do with him.

In fact, the relationship is still very important. In the original book, he would be slapped in the face by Xiao Yiming here, so as to bear hatred for the other party. Now, because of many changes in the plot, for example, King Qin and his son failed to get the military funds allocated in time, so they were stranded in Beijing. During, participated in the hunting.

In addition, in order to show their best side in the hunt, all the concubines ordered new clothes and jewelry one after another, preparing to lead the new trend of the hunt in the capital.

"To be precise, it's to crush other people!" Wang Zhaoyi raised his chin and said, "Just those little goblins, they still want to climb up? It's a good idea!"

For today, Wang Zhaoyi specially designed a new style for her clothes, just to show off when she is out of the palace for a rare occasion.

Other concubines, especially Liu Meiren, went on an emergency diet for three days, resolutely refused desserts and other sweets, and only drank water during the tea party.

"So, is it really effective after these few days?" Zhu Sining looked Liu Meiren up and down, but couldn't see any changes, "If I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't have a deep impression, and I can't tell that you are fat. "

"No, Your Highness," Liu Meiren said with a serious face, "You have to know that such things as being fat or thin can't be seen by just one person."

"What do you mean?"

"It's a comparison! If someone is thinner than me, then I'm fat!"

Zhu Sining: "..." There seems to be nothing wrong.

The hunting location was set at a royal enclosure on the outskirts of the capital.

The mountains are high and steep, there are deep forests and giant trees, and there are also rivers passing through. After repairs and expansions in the past, there are many man-made artificial lakes scattered here and there.With diverse landforms, rich vegetation, and numerous birds and beasts, it is the most suitable place for hunting and martial arts.

In addition to the concubines in the harem, other courtiers also brought their families, and the team marched through the inner city and entered the paddock to station.

The road was bumpy, and many ministers and family members got off the bus with innocent faces and couldn't stand still. Concubine Lu Guifei, who was in charge of coordinating the affairs of the female family members, was busy, and it was not easy for Zhu Sining, the bright queen, to sit and follow her Express your support later.

After arranging for Miss Jiao to see the imperial physician and find someone to make medicine for her, Concubine Lu Gui turned around and almost bumped into Zhu Sining who was following behind.

"Your Highness—" Concubine Lu Gui took a deep breath, "Are you okay or something?"

She has been so busy since she arrived at the paddock, her forehead is full of fine sweat, and now there is Zhu Sining who blocks the way from time to time behind her, with bulging veins on her forehead: "If you want to be fine, can you just sit down? There are female relatives around, so you should stop following."

"I'm sorry, I can't help you with anything..." Zhu Sining felt a little guilty. He originally thought that Concubine Lu Gui was often excluded in the palace. Belittle her, that's why I want to follow.

But it seems that I am useless, Concubine Lu Gui still enjoys herself outside the palace, at least everyone treats her with respect, and she is very grateful to see her specially come to express condolences and help to invite the imperial physician.

"Your Highness, let's go back and sit and rest," Concubine Lu Gui thought for a while, and said, "Today we mainly rest and recuperate, and we will start hunting tomorrow. Just now, I heard that many people secretly went to see Prince Qin's son. How about your Highness?" Are you going to take a look too?"

"Brother?" Zhu Sining recalled the process, "He should be preparing for tomorrow's martial arts performance. Are there many people watching?"

Concubine Lu Gui nodded: "Of course."

Good-looking and talented, plus a younger brother from a prominent family has entered the palace to be the queen, and there is no mother-in-law to control her when she enters the door. In the eyes of many famous ladies in the capital, the position of Prince Qin's concubine is inevitable.

Zhu Sining immediately became interested: "Then I'll go and have a look."

"Slow down, Your Highness."

Concubine Lu Gui slightly bowed and sent Zhu Sining away.

===========

Zhu Xiuyong took a few soldiers to compete on a level ground, surrounded by a circle.There are also bold female relatives who poke their heads behind or look for a high place to watch.

It was already late when Zhu Sining arrived. After several competitions, the atmosphere on and off the court was so lively that he couldn't squeeze in. Seeing his face, others thought he was an ignorant boy who followed the adults in the family to join in the fun Thinking of shaking it in front of Zong Qihao to leave a rough impression, it will be easier for him to go on in his official career in the future.

Being made such a joke, Zhu Sining was not angry, and followed up with a stern answer: "I'm married and I'm not a kid anymore. I don't want to go into an official career, so I just watch the fun."

"Did you get married so early? You look so tender, don't you just bluff people?" Someone next to him expressed doubts. The kid in front of him has such a good appearance, why has he never heard of it in Beijing.Although there are quite a few people here who haven't really stepped into the officialdom, but their family backgrounds are not small, even if they are not very familiar, they have heard of the names.

"Which family are you from? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Before Zhu Sining could figure out how to answer, he felt his collar being ripped from the back.

"The prince of Qin..."

Just now, the son of the aristocratic family who saw Zhu Sining playful and teasing a few words was pale, and from the corner of his eye, Zong Qihao who was not far away also glanced at him, and was even more cold sweating.

Careless, there is only one handsome young man in Beijing!

Zhu Xiuyong mentioned the person next to Zong Qihao: "One wrong eye, and you can't run away."

Zong Qihao was the only one sitting in the entire venue.Zhu Xiuyong let go abruptly, Zhu Sining staggered and almost fell into Zong Qihao's arms.

Fortunately, he reacted in time, and he was not so embarrassed by holding on to the handrail.

Although it's not much better now.

Zhu Xiuyong paused, turned his foot back, and said to a soldier beside him, "Go find a chair for Second Young Master."

Zhu Sining waved his hand: "No, no, I'll just stand and watch. Is it Big Brother's turn now?"

"Stand watching?" Zhu Xiuyong raised his eyebrows, "You think I'm a street performer?"

Zhu Sining looked around, everyone here is standing, it seems to be all right...Although the people nearby all consciously took a few steps back after hearing Zhu Xiuyong's words.

"Brother," Zhu Sining didn't dare to sit on the chair that Zhu Xiu Yongming brought back, and grabbed the armrest of Zong Qihao's chair, "Why do you belittle yourself?"

Zhu Xiuyong: "..."

He was silent for a while, and finally wiped his face fiercely, giving up the idea of ​​pushing him into a chair and beating him up.

Seeing that Zhu Xiuyong had no intention of hitting him, Zhu Sining approached his chair step by step.

"Sit down." Before Zhu Xiuyong could speak again, Zong Qihao said first, "Sit down and watch slowly, don't stand still."

"Hey, thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Sining responded immediately.

Zhu Xiuyong folded his arms and squinted at him: "I moved the chair."

Zhu Sining glanced at the soldier who moved the chair.No sound.

Zhu Xiuyong clenched his fists and then let go, and finally walked back to the field with heavy strides.

In the next few competitions, Zhu Xiuyong only competed with the winning personal soldiers, and every time he won without exception.

His movements are clean and neat, his figure is chic and handsome, turning around under the sun, as if carrying the wind, and his eyebrows are handsome, every time he wins the competition, there are always young ladies and wives around cheering softly.

Zhu Sining was very supportive and kept applauding: "Big Brother is Big Brother, so amazing."

Zong Qihao looked sideways slightly, and ran his fingers across the armrest.I don't know where Zhu Xiuyong found this chair. There are thin barbs on it, so a cushion is added to the seat surface. Compared with the chair that Zhu Sining sat on, even the backrest is covered with a layer of soft cushions. The chair is completely perfunctory.

It seems that Zhu Xiuyong really doesn't like him.

Zong Qihao sat here for a long time, and Zhu Xiuyong greeted him at the beginning, found a chair to support him, and then the fight started.Then Zhu Sining came, and he ran over to pick him up right away.

Zhu Sining looked like a man no matter how thin he was, Zhu Xiuyong was very strong, he grabbed the back of the man and lifted it up, causing Zhu Sining's back collar to still be standing upright.

"Your Majesty," Zhu Sining next door suddenly said, "Who do you think will win?"

"Huh? Which one?" Zong Qihao couldn't react for a while, and said casually, "The one on the left."

Zhu Sining looked at the soldiers wrestling up and down in the field and got into a tangle.

Zong Qihao didn't realize it until he finished answering, and hurriedly corrected: "The one on the left at the beginning."

"Which one is His Majesty talking about?"

Zong Qihao casually pointed to one.

"Wrong," Zhu Sining said, "This person stood on the right at first."

"Really?" Zong Qihao was a little embarrassed, "It's because I got confused, I can't figure it out."

"He's going to lose."

Zong Qihao carefully observed the two people on the field, but he didn't see anything unusual.

"How did Ah Ning know? Did you guess?"

"Just now that person took the initiative to attack three times, but none succeeded. Now he is very anxious and made mistakes several times."

Not long after, the result was exactly as Zhu Sining said.

"It's boring." Zhu Sining was a little bored, but Zong Qihao kept looking at the field and didn't talk to him, "Your Majesty, please say something."

I always feel that Zong Qihao has been very silent recently, which makes him a little worried. Could it be that the plot is too fierce, which caused all the good feelings he had worked so hard to accumulate before, and Zong Qihao just ignored him.

"What?" Zong Qihao subconsciously avoided Zhu Sining's eyes and did not meet his gaze.

"You can say whatever you want, or you can reward the winner, how boring it is to sit like this."

Reward the winner?

Zong Qihao looked at Zhu Xiuyong, sorry, he didn't really want to.

It's too shocking, this uncle.

"A-Ning," Zhu Xiuyong asked Zhu Sining, ignoring how Zong Qihao thought of him, "Where is your tent? Are you with the concubine?"

"It seems to be." These were all arranged by Concubine Lu Gui, Zhu Sining really didn't know.

Zhu Xiuyong frowned: "Don't stay here, go live with me tonight."

"Okay." Zhu Sining also felt that it was not good to live with the concubine, if Zhu Xiuyong didn't mention it, he really didn't expect it.

"The empress did not live in the same tent area with the concubine," Zong Qihao finally said, "he lives in the same tent with me."
