107 The Threat of Xiao Qiang Yi
"Team 1! Surround from the right! Team 2, walk on the left! Team 3 follows me and head straight from the middle! We must catch the tough beauty first than other squadrons!"
"Yes! We must take the lead today! Offer to the emperor!"
"You can't lose your face! Go!" "Go up! Go up--"
"Yo hehe—" "Yo hehe—yo—"
The guards who received the order immediately dispersed in formation and hid into the dense forest. The middle of the road ran forward along the footsteps of the snow. Everyone grabbed the longbow in their hands and carried the same number of arrows on their backs, each with twenty. And everyone had to rely on these same number of arrows to hunt more prey than others, or to see who could hunt the most ferocious beasts, who would be appreciated by the emperor, and the opportunity to rise to the top was just around the corner. No matter how generous rewards were received, it would be easier for the family to live a comfortable life!
So, the crowd was in high spirits, and each tried his best to chase a pair of leopards that had finally appeared in the forest. There were countless birds and beasts that were shocked along the way. Many guards believed that they were not as capable as the generals, so they changed their targets and took out arrows to attack the frightened birds and beasts. For a moment, the sound of arrows, wind, animal wailings, and horse neighings in the dense forest, which sounded very lively. Just like the concerto of nature was added to the disharmonious sword light and sabre shadows, which sounded quite a bit thrilling.
However, all this has nothing to do with me. The emperor can naturally enjoy the fruits of his life.
I stayed in the wind shelter specially prepared by my servants for me, and yawned boredly with my hands covering my mouth. I was so sleepy...
As the hunting team moved away, the noise became smaller and smaller, and the prey transported to me gradually accumulated. Among them, there were some petite and cute animals such as marten and squirrel, and some were still living creatures, struggling with their limbs.
I gave a wink at the guards beside me. They immediately stepped forward and brought the little beasts that had escaped the threat of death, and placed them respectfully on the tray to present them to me.
"Do you like it?" I looked slightly at Princess Julia, who was sitting restlessly beside me.
Julia only glanced at the little pitiful ones, pursed her lips, and said bluntly: "If Julia was asked to go into battle personally, it would be more than just to catch these." It seems that she is still blaming me forcibly staying all the women just now, including her who grew up in the desert.
There is no way, it doesn't matter if there are one or two of those concubines, but if something happens to this princess, it will immediately rise to an international problem. I am not stupid. When I go out, I'm afraid of accidents.
Seeing that round face was full of reluctance and disdain, I smiled, waved my hand at the guard, and said, "Since the princess doesn't like it, kill them all."
"yes!"
The guard responded and stepped down respectfully. But someone eagerly called to stop him.
"Show mercy!"
I felt secretly happy. Those women are also quite cute, at least they won't make me feel bored.
A beautiful man wrapped in fiery red fox fur walked up to me, looking at the pitiful injured beasts with a face full of helplessness, and did not dare to look directly at me. He bowed and said softly: "The emperor has the virtue of being a virtuous person and cannot bear to kill these weak creatures. It would be better to give them to me! Even the weakest squirrel, I am grateful!" After saying that, he lowered his eyebrows and respectfully blessed me.
I sat on the mat with soft animal fur, put one hand on the table and the other tapped the table, and looked at the girl who stood up rashly with interest. Her beautiful facial features, slender and soft waistline, her cherry lips, delicate and charming eyes... I can't see it for the time being; her long black hair casually tied a simple bun, leaving a few fine hairs scattered in her ears, extremely charming. She gave people a feeling of being weak and charming, and was really afraid that others would blow her away when they talked loudly.
Who is this...
After searching in my mind, I had a little impression. It seemed that she was the beauty who personally led the palace maid to apologize to me when I was still lying in Concubine Liu. What's the name of Wang? Lin Jingyu, this kid, also liked to climb into her bed before.
A playful smile appeared on the corner of my lips.
It's not simple, I really take the time to invite favor. I've been away from the "Empress Jin" for many days... Fortunately, I'm here. If Lin Jingyu was here, I would have called her to bed tonight.
"Since it is the request of the beautiful man Wang, I should allow it." I agreed happily.
"Thank you for your kindness!" Wang Chunhui obviously didn't expect that I would let go so easily. She was surprised and looked up at me quickly, then lowered her eyes shyly, retreated to the guard, carefully reached out and picked up the brown squirrel who was still kicking his legs in the tray, wrapped it in a gauze scarf, patted it gently, and slowly retreated back to her position.
Seeing someone set a precedent, the other concubines were also bold and asked for the remaining three little beasts.
Seeing that they were so loving, I naturally enjoyed seeing it. I gave a little marten with dark brown fur to Zhou Guipin, and a white snow rabbit to Xue Meiren who was implicated in the false pregnancy of Concubine Jin. Originally, she should have been a fourth-rank noble concubine, but unfortunately I found an excuse to be downgraded to third levels in a row. Now I am a seventh-rank beauty. Don’t blame me for being cruel. You are so stupid that you don’t know if you are used as a scapegoat by others... In the end, the squirrel with a spotted back unexpectedly, unexpectedly taught Liu Susu to fall in love with it. Although I really wanted to take the squirrel back and give it to Lin Jingyu, paired with the one I snatched from the last time from the shark. But seeing Liu Susu’s earnest and eager gaze, I couldn’t bear to refuse.
"In this way, I will ask the accompanying imperial physician to come and bandage the wounds for all the pets of my beloved concubines." I ordered generously. As a result, the imperial physician scolded me to death behind my back. It was indeed wrong for me to call him as a veterinarian, but he was idle anyway! What's wrong with wasting a little medicine on those beasts!
As a result, the four women got my good deeds, their faces were glossy and they were happily teasing the unlucky animals, which was quite showing off, and the other concubines stopped.
"Emperor, I am the descendant of the general. The emperor has also seen my skills. I beg the emperor to give me a chance and let me come on the stage and catch the prey for the emperor himself! I will definitely live up to the holy hope!"
Concubine Yu - General Wen Yuquan, the daughter of General Wen, finally couldn't sit still, so she left the table and walked to my table, bowing to me Yingying.
She was wearing a red riding outfit, a black harness, a golden sword, a pedal boot, and a black hair wrapped in a red cloth scarf. She was obviously prepared, and she was a heroic and handsome dress. But if she was really allowed to play, wouldn't Princess Julia follow her own emulation?
I was embarrassed and wanted to refuse, but Wen Yuquan made a statement first:
"The emperor does not need to worry about my safety! My father and younger brother are also hunting in the hunting ground today. Moreover, their main responsibility is to protect the safety of the emperor and all the sisters. I believe that it will not be too far from the big tent. I am just riding a horse to search for prey that was driven away by them. I will not go deep into the woods. The pope is worried!"
Seeing that my expression was a little loose, she continued to say, "I can guarantee my safety! But my sister Julia came from afar and was not very familiar with the mountains and forests of the Great Yan Kingdom. She also hoped that my sister would not follow her and accompany the emperor in the big tent for her. Is it okay?" The previous sentence was said to me, but the last few sentences targeted Julia who was about to move, making her speechless, and it would be difficult to make the same requests to me again.
I smiled and agreed to leave with Concubine Yu. Julia was full of grievance and pouted unhappily, and said angrily: "Brother Emperor is partial!"
After getting along with her these days, I have figured out some of her little temperaments. I won’t be able to make a fuss. I just get angry when I feel wronged, pout, and then make other requests to make up for it.
And I was waiting for her to make a request. As long as it was harmless, it would be easy to please this little girl.
"Julia knows that the emperor's brother is worried that something will happen to me, so she will not explain it to my father and the princess' mother!"
"This..." is indeed the case. I smiled and didn't refute.
"But, what the emperor brother is more worried about is not Julia himself, but the two countries have a good relationship? The emperor is afraid that Julia will make any mistakes, causing disputes between the two countries and then causing war?"
"..." She was very keen and deserved to be a member of the royal family. My smile was a bit forced.
"Since the emperor values Julia so much, for the sake of the friendship between the two countries and in order not to make the emperor's brother embarrassed, Julia will not ask for horseback hunting! But can the emperor's brother meet Julia's other small request?" The round face was flushed, a little angry and a little resentful, but the bright eyes showed more acceptance of fate and compromise, but there were also a little starlight, and a flash of cunning.
A very lively girl.
"As long as you don't ride a horse into the forest, I, do whatever you want." I breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the tea cup filled with hot milk tea, put it to my lips and sip it gently, and signaled her to continue with her eyes.
"Julia only said she would not hunt on horseback, but she did not say she could not hunt on the plain!" She smiled as if the conspiracy had succeeded and said word by word: "Then I beg the emperor to order the guards to drive all the prey here!"
puff--
I took a sip of tea in my mouth and wanted to spray it. I swallowed it in a hurry because I was afraid of being rude, but unfortunately choked. I blushed and coughed into a dark place.
Julia laughed loudly, not giving me any face, nor was she afraid that I would kill her with one knife. She must have known that I would not dare to touch her, so she would occasionally make some harmless jokes with me. So, I could only stare at her angrily, and make me feel embarrassed with a look of silence.
Am I too indulging in her?
The other concubines were sensible, so they quickly stepped forward to help me serve tea and water, rub my chest and back to relieve my breath, and some also helped me wipe my mouth with a small handkerchief. If it weren't for the smell of the handkerchief that was too incense, this kind of enjoyment would be quite good.
I sat comfortably on the flesh sofa formed by the concubines and waved to the guards waiting on the side.
