The forest here is different from the one in Baihuayuan. As a royal hunting ground, not only is it heavily guarded, but even the prey has more and tighter chests.
Lu Lingzhi asked his younger brother to follow closely behind him, fearing that he might get lost accidentally.
He looked up at the tall and straight figure of Murong Zhan in front of him, and he was also a little bit puzzled. Last night, he noticed that the emperor's nose was a little strange, as if it was a little red. When he took a look this morning, he found that it was a little swollen.
What happened to the emperor last night? Lu Lingzhi quietly asked his personal eunuch, Fude, but Fude's mouth was too strict, and he refused to reveal a word.
Lu Lingzhi sighed in his heart, he was not worried about anything, he was afraid that if the emperor saw Yaoyao, if he came home again these two days, he would not let Yaoyao come to the Zhuangzi.
In fact, he might be thinking too much, Mo Rongzhan doesn't know what Ye Zhen looks like at all, given how much he hates the Ye family, even if people say that Yaoyao looks like Ye Zhen, he probably won't care.
"Brother, is that... the Holy One?" After Lu Xiangzhi walked for a while, he found that the guards around him seemed unusually visible, so he wondered if there were any important figures here. The man looked respectful, and he guessed the identity of the other party.
Lu Lingzhi nodded lightly, and whispered to him, "Since the emperor doesn't want to reveal his identity, you should just pretend not to know."
"Oh!" Lu Xiangzhi was a little excited, he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to meet the saint.
Along the way, Mo Rongzhan seemed a little silent. Lu Lingzhi obviously felt that the master was not in a good mood. Before last night, he was obviously in a good mood.
Murong Zhan was a little gloomy. After he entered the hunting ground, he asked everyone to hunt, and he rewarded those who hunted the most.
Lu Lingzhi smiled and said to his younger brother, "Let's go, let's fight today."
"If the third sister comes, she will definitely like it very much." Lu Xiangzhi was still thinking of his sister.
"It's fine if you don't come." Lu Xiangzhi sighed in a low voice, "Let's go!"
When the sun was about to set, the hunters came back to camp. Murong Zhan beat a black bear, and the guards who followed him applauded loudly.
A smile finally appeared on Mo Rongzhan's handsome and indifferent face.
"Light the fire, let's have a barbecue tonight!" Murong Zhan said with a smile.
Although Lu Xiangzhi wanted to keep the barbecue, after all, the opportunity to get close to the emperor was too rare. Although he could only watch from a distance, he still wanted to send a rabbit and a deer to his sister.
"Little Si, what are you thinking?" Tang Zhen asked with a smile after being patted on the shoulder suddenly.
"Brother Tang." Lu Xiangzhi laughed, "I promised my sister that I will give her a rabbit, and this is the stag that I just caught in the woods. She should like it."
Tang Zhen's eyes lit up, "Well, I'll go back with you and bring the things to the third sister before I come back."
Lu Xiangzhi nodded in surprise, "Is it possible?"
"Wait, I'll report to the emperor." Tang Zhen said, turned around and went to the tent where Murong Zhan was resting.
Murong Zhan was changing his clothes. He was stained with blood from hunting a black bear just now. Hearing Tang Zhen's request, he was silent for a while, and then nodded after a while, "Go, don't waste the time."
Tang Zhen knew that the emperor meant not to delay drinking with the big guys for a while, so he smiled and took Lu Xiangzhi to the village down the mountain.
When Lu Lingzhi found out that the two of them were gone, there was no one to be found.
It is not far from the hunting ground to Hot Spring Village, and it only takes half an hour to ride a horse. Lu Xiangzhi dismounted outside the second gate, and two young men came to lead their horses.
He vaguely seemed to hear the sound of playing music, so Lu Xiangzhi asked a servant to ask, "Where are the master and madam?"
"Back to the fourth young master, the third master and the third lady are all barbecuing in the garden." The servant replied.
BBQ? Lu Xiangzhi glanced at Tang Zhen next to him suspiciously, "Brother Tang, why don't you go and have a look with me."
Tang Zhen couldn't wish for him to say so, "Let's go, I just happened to meet Master Lu San."
Lu Xiangzhi was silent in his heart, you are the Marquis of Jingning, and his father is Xiao Hanlin, who will greet whom
Before he got to the garden, he heard the sound of drums and qin. Lu Xiang thought that no one in his family knew how to play the qin. His father knew it, but he basically never heard him play it.
The two quickened their pace, and when they were at the gate of the garden, they both slowed down involuntarily.
On the grass in the garden, a bonfire was burning in the middle, Lu Shiming was roasting a lamb beside him, Mrs. Pei was knocking on the wine bowl with chopsticks, the sound of the piano was played by Mr. Shan, as for the sound of the drums...
Lu Xiangzhi and Tang Zhen's eyes fell on the dancing girl in the middle. She was wearing a long red dress with a snare drum tied around her waist, dancing briskly to the sound of the piano, with a pretty smile on her face, When the sound of the piano was soft, she moved slowly like a light cloud, her hands gently touched the drum surface, the sound of the piano was passionate, she spun like a whirlwind, her hands, eyes, and body were in response to the piano and drum, and the red dress fluttered in the wind.
The pearl tassels rotate and the stars shake, and the flower tendrils tremble.
Tang Zhen's heart beat faster for a while, and he looked at the beautiful girl with scorching eyes, thinking that she was a fairy who had accidentally fallen into the mortal world. He even became cautious about breathing, for fear of disturbing her and causing her to leave mortal.
Lu Xiangzhi didn't have his thoughts, he looked at it in amazement for a while, and immediately applauded loudly.
The sound of the piano didn't stop because of Lu Xiangzhi, Ye Zhen continued to dance, she smiled brightly at Lu Xiangzhi, and the sound of the drum became playful and brisk.
When Lu Shiming saw Tang Zhen, he hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Tang Zhen turned his gaze back from Ye Zhen with difficulty, and bowed back to Lu Shiming, "Master Lu, don't be polite, it's the Marquis who bothered you."
Only then did Ye Zhen realize that there was Tang Zhen next to Lu Xiangzhi, so she had no choice but to stop. Seeing her stop, the little maid next to her immediately came over with the beaded shoes and put them on for her.
Tang Zhen glanced unconsciously out of the corner of his eyes, seeing Ye Zhen's white lotus feet like jade, his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
He never knew... to lose his composure to a little girl like this.
Lu Shiming already knew that Lu Xiangzhi was going to the hunting ground, so he could more or less guess who was in the hunting ground now. He originally thought that his son would not come back tonight.
"Yaoyao, look!" Lu Xiangzhi gave Ye Zhen the newborn deer in his arms.
Ye Zhen's eyes brightened slightly, "It's so cute, where did you find it?"
"In the woods, it may have been separated from its parents, so I brought it back and raised it for you." Lu Xiangzhi said with a smile.
"Thank you brother." Ye Zhen's heart warmed slightly, Lu Xiangzhi really felt sorry for her little sister, otherwise he would not think of her everywhere.
