BXBX NOVEL Chapter 127: hunting
Jing and Di led several important ministers and some envoys from various countries who were preparing for negotiations to come over.
The two had to put down their horses and went to the other courtyard in front.
Jing and Di Luo sat down, glanced at the audience, and said some opening remarks, such as welcoming envoys from various countries to my summer, and felt that it was almost done, so they went straight to the topic.
"...In order to promote harmony and friendship among countries, I decided to hold a three-day hunt in the West Palace Courtyard. Those who get the top three prey every day will have a lottery."
After finishing speaking, he ordered someone to bring up three trays, in which there was a dagger studded with gems. And two exquisite bows and arrows.
As soon as the words fell, many young people in the field immediately clamored, not because of the prize. You must know that in a hunting ground with so many people, if you can win the first prize, it will be a proper name.
Seeing this, Jing and Di smiled and waved their hands to let everyone go.
Cui Lingling pulled Shen Mingjiao's arm, with a look of enthusiasm: "Go, we will go there too."
Shen Mingjiao actually doesn't really want to go, she prefers to sit and drink tea and eat snacks leisurely rather than horse racing.
But now there are so many people in the forest, and Cui Lingling has always been bold, so it's better for her to watch.
So the two of them rode horses slowly into the woods, followed by two hidden guards, Yang Dayang.
Cui Lingling spotted a gray rabbit lying in the grass not far away, she pointed at Shen Mingjiao excitedly.
Shen Mingjiao hissed, glanced at the bow and arrow behind her, and signaled her to hurry up.
Cui Lingling shoots arrows with a bow. About to aim and shoot. The ground suddenly shook slightly, and then a dozen fast horses rushed out from behind and ran past them recklessly, startling the smoke and dust, and also startled the rabbits that were grazing leisurely.
Perhaps this group of people was too imposing, and the horses under Shen Mingjiao and the two of them were turning restlessly.
Cui Lingling reined in the horse's reins, and glared fiercely at the group of people leaving from Juechen:
"Crazy. I'm not in such a hurry to get reincarnated!"
Shen Mingjiao was also very angry. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the dust splashed on her face, frowned and said, "Which country is this envoy, so arrogant."
The posture of the group of people just now did not look like they came to hunt, but rather they seemed to be going to the battlefield to fight with others.
What's more, this is on the outskirts of the forest, so it is easy for them to accidentally injure the Taoist
Cui Lingling curled her lips: "Where else can it be, it's Beidi Kingdom! The first one should be the second prince of Beidi. I heard that he is very good at riding and shooting, and he is the number one warrior in Beidi Kingdom today."
Shen Mingjiao blinked, the second prince of Beidi, this name is very familiar!
Oh, now that I think about it, in my previous life I was trying to cheat on Su because of drunkenness. The second prince of Beidi who was later accidentally killed by Gong Jue and the East Palace Dark Guard.
At that time, the relationship between Beidi and Daxia was tense, and the king of Beidi died. The princes below fought fiercely for the position.
Feng Lisheng had to go to the border to preside over the overall situation. In her previous life, she was only the side concubine of Prince Su's mansion, and she only showed her face on behalf of Prince Su's mansion during the banquet.
These were all heard later. It is said that because the second prince of Beidi was killed in Daxia, the slightly relaxed relationship between the two countries deteriorated again, and they almost fought again.
However, it was only a few years after the defeat of Beidi Kingdom, and although Xia’s side won the victory, they will be exhausted, and the imperial court will not be able to withstand another large-scale war within a few years. So it ended up being nothing.
Thinking of this, she told Cui Lingling: "I heard that the second prince of Beidi is very beautiful and has vicious methods. If you meet him, you must be careful."
Cui Lingling waved her hands indifferently, and raised her chin triumphantly: "If we really meet, who will take care of who is not sure?"
Shen Mingjiao thinks about her abilities, and thinks so.
The two continued to stroll leisurely in the woods, and Cui Lingling shot two rabbits and two pheasants. It's not that Cui Lingling's riding and shooting is so good. According to her own words, she has hardly used bows and arrows before, and she is usually used to using whips.
However, martial arts is a thing that can be mastered all the time, and you can get the feeling after pulling the bow a few times.
And the most important thing is that there are really a lot of prey in this forest. After all, as a royal hunting ground, there will be special personnel who intentionally raise and expand the animals in the forest.
And Jing and Di don't like martial arts, and they basically don't come here once a year or two.
Seeing so many prey, Shen Mingjiao couldn't help becoming interested. Although she couldn't even draw her bow, it was good to join in the fun.
She chased a snow-white rabbit for a long time, and when she saw that she was about to catch up, a feathered arrow flew from nowhere and shot straight at the rabbit's neck.
Shen Mingjiao couldn't help pursing her lips, and Shen Mingyan's voice came from beside her ear: "Fourth sister."
Shen Mingjiao turned the horse's head, and saw Shen Mingyan was also sitting on the horse, but she was being led by Pei Ji.
Shen Mingjiao nodded at the two of them indifferently, and then planned to bypass them and leave.
Shen Mingyan stopped her, and said with apologetic expression:
"It turns out that this rabbit is the prey that my fourth sister has chosen. I'm really sorry. I saw the rabbit's snow-white fur from a distance, and I took a second look at it. My family Aji thought I liked it, so he directly shot it with a bow."
She pointed at the bleeding rabbit and said, "To express my apology, take the fourth sister of the rabbit back!"
Shen Mingjiao originally didn't want to pay attention to her obvious teasing, but the more she listened to it, the more she went too far.
Shen Mingjiao turned back unceremoniously.
"Third Sister's kindness is appreciated by me. It's just that Mr. Pei is a scholar. In order to please Third Sister, he rarely shot a rabbit. Now that Third Sister wants to give it to me, Mr. Pei will be sad!"
"Mr. Pei, do you think so?"
The two of them both had smiles on their faces regardless of what they thought in their hearts. So Pei Ji didn't hear anything wrong with what the two said. I thought the two were really talking about rabbits.
Seeing being asked by Shen Mingjiao, he just smiled and shook his head, "Madam is right, if the princess likes it, give this rabbit to the princess!"
A pair of eyes are lowered but he dare not look at her, he has already decided to live a good life with Shen Mingyan, and he should not have any more thoughts.
Shen Ming rolled his eyes coquettishly, and immediately felt that these two should be a match made in heaven.
She said coldly, "Keep it for yourself," and ran away far away, waving her whip.
Hearing the clatter of horseshoes going away, Pei Ji finally couldn't help raising his head, only to see the fine sunlight pass through the treetops and sprinkle on the woman's face. Her face was already bright and beautiful. Immediately, it is even more eye-catching and dazzling.
Although he quickly looked away, Shen Mingyan, who had been paying attention to him, still saw it, and she gritted her teeth in hatred. He lowered his head to hide the expression in his eyes.
Ah! Just wait, wait until Shen Mingjiao's reputation is ruined, and see if you will still look at her like this!
