The playground was quickly emptied, and the princesses who had returned from hunting were waiting to show their prey.
But the one who came first was not the princess or the fourth emperor, but the eldest princess Yan Yunjin.
Lu Zhilan was with her.
The guards of the eldest princess put all the wild animals that the eldest princess had hunted on the ground, including a deer, two roe deer, hares and some other small prey. Among them, a wild boar was carried by four guards, which was the most important.
The two big fangs protruding from the mouth made the emperor stand up from the throne in shock.
"Not bad, not bad, she really deserves to be my eldest daughter." The emperor praised.
The eldest princess immediately raised her chest, she looked extremely tall and straight, her face was full of arrogance.
"Report to the Empress that I want to present this wild boar as an ingredient for tonight's bonfire feast."
"Boss has a heart." The emperor was obviously very satisfied.
The Great Empress Zhengjun, who had been at the side for a while and couldn't get in the way, looked around the crowd, very proud, with an elated look.
The eldest princess has the lowest biological father status among all the princesses, and the prince she married is also of the lowest family status.
Even though she is the eldest daughter of the emperor, all the ministers only looked up to the crown daughter and the fourth emperor daughter, and completely ignored her. As a result, the eldest emperor daughter Zhengjun was clearly the brother-in-law of the crown daughter Zhengjun and the fourth emperor daughter Zhengjun, but she still wanted to bow down to them. .
After the emperor's joy for the eldest princess dissipated, he saw Lu Zhilan next to him.
Lu Zhilan was holding a white fox with outstanding fur in his hand. The fox's whole body was pure white without variegation, except for the small patch of fur where the arrow was shot in its abdomen was stained red with blood.
Such a beautiful fox, even the emperor was delighted to see Lie Xin, and couldn't help being a little curious about Lu Zhilan.
"Which noble lady is this next?"
"Grassman Lu Zhilan is the second daughter of Lu Quanzhou, Minister of the Household Department."
The emperor looked to the left, and Lu Quanzhou hurriedly stood up to recognize his daughter, "Your Majesty, it is the unfilial daughter of the humble minister."
"Lu Aiqing, don't be modest, you young girl is amazing, it is said that you made those novelties?"
Lu Zhilan said proudly, "It's the grassroots."
She was a little excited, if the emperor took a fancy to her invention, wouldn't she be able to become an imperial businessman in one fell swoop.
Although she disdains this name, but with the name of the royal family, her speed of opening up the market is unstoppable.
Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't continue to ask, but changed the tone and asked about the fox in Lu Zhilan's hand.
"How many prey did Lu Xiaoaiqing hunt?"
"Not much, the most important one is this fox."
Lu Zhilan is not ashamed at all, she has a specialization in surgery, she is a hunter with a brain, not a well-developed limb.
If she didn't want to give Mo Zi'an a good leather, she might have killed a few hares. Anyway, her sister Lu Zhijin was there to support the situation.
At the same time, because of rounding up this fox, Lu Zhilan didn't catch a few hares.
"Then it's troublesome, I like your fox very much. Why don't you give the fox to me, and you can ask for gold, silver and jewels?"
It is a great honor for something to be favored by the Holy Spirit, and Lu Quanzhou wished he could press Lu Zhilan's head and make her agree immediately.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhilan said, "Your Majesty, forgive me."
Everyone was astonished, and Lu Quanzhou was so angry that he was sweating profusely, fearing that the emperor would punish him.
The emperor was also a little surprised, and at the same time he felt offended. Fortunately, he was in a good mood now, so he asked, "Why? Don't you think I don't have a baby worthy of a fox like you."
"No, it's just a fox. Even if it's white and rare, it's only worth a hundred taels of silver. Your Majesty is rich all over the world. It's an honor for the people to see this fox."
After a flattering meal, the emperor was quite comfortable listening, and the anger disappeared.
"But true love is priceless, and this is what Caomin is going to give to the person he likes."
"Oh-"
The emperor was also a young man who admired this infatuation, so he asked with great interest: "I remember that you once had a marriage contract with Wen Hui, and later retired, and Wen Hui also married the prince and daughter of the town. Now Which son do you like again?"
Sitting below, He Rongrui was so angry that he wanted to run up and gag Lu Zhilan. He wished he would never bring up the matter of retiring the engagement.
To put it bluntly, they were destined to marry each other, but after all, the Lu family divorced the relatives of a royal princess, and Du Siyin was indeed related to the emperor by blood.
It's good that the emperor doesn't care, but if one day the Lu family makes a mistake, it will be a way to blatantly despise the royal family!
"It's the young master of the Mo family."
On the right side of the stand, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Mo Zi'an.
For Lu Zhilan's actions, Mo Zi'an felt a little angry, but couldn't help feeling vain.
He was originally sitting next to the eldest princess Zhengjun, and no one paid any attention to him. Everyone surrounded Du Siyin, which hit his self-esteem very badly and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
Looking at Mo Zian, everyone sneaked a glance at Du Siyin. After all, everyone knew the grievances between them.
Du Siyin was completely irrelevant. He was the one pitifully ridiculed in the past. Who made him be abandoned by his fiancée? Lu Zhilan would rather pursue Mo Zian than marry him, which made his reputation fall into the quagmire.
But now that he is married to Xu Ting, it is not him but Lu Zhilan who is being laughed at!
It was Lu Zhilan who was blind.
Young Master Mohist? The emperor turned around in his mind three times, but he didn't remember which official in the court was surnamed Mo.
A female official came up and told the emperor, "It's the son of a merchant."
So the emperor's mood immediately faded. She originally wanted to give a kiss to make a good story.
But the Merchant's Son...
The emperor was afraid that if he bestowed a marriage on his front foot, Lu Quanzhou, the secretary of the household department, would make trouble for her.
"Talented and beautiful women, really enviable, let's go down."
Lu Zhilan saluted gracefully and withdrew.
After they talked for a while, the sound of horseshoes sounded again. Everyone was looking forward to it, this time it was the princess! Madam Zhengjun immediately became excited.
The princess walked into the playground, got off her horse and paid homage to the emperor.
"How's the harvest?" The emperor had the greatest expectations for the princess.
Satisfied, the prince immediately ordered the guards to put the prey on the table. The quantity and quality of the prey the prince killed was considerable, and one of them was a healthy and huge wild deer that attracted everyone's attention.
Even the emperor couldn't help getting up and walking to the front of the stands to observe the prey.
The princess looked very high-spirited, and she won with this deer alone.
Sure enough, the face of the eldest princess who had already walked to the side and sat down turned dark, and the princess Zhengjun cast a contemptuous glance at the eldest princess Zhengjun, with a contented expression.
Du Siyin and others hurriedly congratulated the Crown Princess Zhengjun, throwing out flattery words free of money.
The prince Zhengjun was very happy, but he still had to be humble and said: "It's too early to say that the prince has won the first place. We have to wait for Siyin's wife, Xu Shinv, to come back. Maybe the prince will be compared to the sky. Go, that would be a joke."
Du Siyin just smiled and didn't speak.
As soon as the granddaughter came back, the fourth princess arrived, and the emperor said happily when he saw Yan Yuntong, "The fourth son has also arrived. The granddaughter hunted a deer, so let me see what you hunted?"
The guards of the fourth princess had to untie the prey and put it together with the prince's prey for a bright contrast.
The prey of the fourth emperor's daughter was no worse than that of the crown daughter. If it wasn't for the fact that the most important prey was slightly smaller than the crown daughter's wild deer, it could even be said to be evenly matched.
Yelu, who had a princess, was especially beautiful in front of her, and Yan Yuntong really looked disappointed when she saw the emperor.
So Yan Yuntong suddenly said: "Mother, I still have a rare prey I want to present to you, I think the mother will like it."
"Oh?" The emperor became interested, "What is it?"
Yan Yuntong signaled the guards to come forward, and saw that the guards were holding a brightly colored golden pheasant. The golden pheasant opened its black bean-like eyes, looking radiant and very pleasing.
Suddenly the guard was pecked hard for some reason, and the pain in his hand was so painful that he threw the golden pheasant out.
The golden pheasant spread its wings in the air, and the bright and dazzling colors made people dazzled, as if seeing the legendary phoenix.
"Catch it!" cried the Emperor.
The guard hurried up to catch the golden pheasant, and after a while of confusion, the red-bellied golden pheasant was caught, and the emperor decided to take it back to the rare animal garden in the palace.
"Well done." The emperor praised, he was very satisfied with the four imperial daughters, and he had already left the princess's wild deer behind.
Sitting on the right side of the emperor, Huang Guijun took a demonstrative look at the queen, and sent a smile, which made the queen gnash her teeth in anger.
The same is true on the right side of the stand. The Fourth Imperial Daughter Zhengjun said to the Crown Lady Zhengjun, "Your Highness is also lucky, otherwise how could you catch such a rare bird. If you don't have this rare bird, it would be too much to compare with the Crown Princess." gone."
The princess Zhengjun was so angry that she wanted to tear his mouth!
The two gods were fighting, and Du Siyin could only sit quietly and drink tea, reducing his sense of existence so as not to be missed again.
"Whether you lose points or not, you have to wait for the prince's daughter from the town to come back. Maybe the fourth sister and the princess will lose points together. Siyin, do you think so?" Zhengjun, the prince, looked at Du Siyin and said with a smile.
Du Siyin's eyes turned cold, these two are really enough, and it's not like that to use his wife as a raft.
"The grand daughter Zhengjun has broken Siyin's voice. If I make such a boast and make the daughter lose face, what can I do if Siyin goes back."
Madam Zhengjun choked on her mouth.
All the noble ladies who entered the paddock returned one after another, but the Wang Shinv who had attracted much attention from the town has never been seen.
The emperor got impatient with the wait, and the sound of vigorous and powerful horse hoofs sounded again in the distance, and everyone found that the Seventh Queen had driven the horse back with Xu Ting.
