The news of Zhuguan's victory was passed back to the central government, and Emperor Ning rejoiced in Longyan.
The original Autumn Hunting Ceremony was cancelled because of the war. After the good news came back, the Ministry of Rites brought up the Autumn Hunting event again.
"My Majesty, autumn hunting is the grand ceremony of the grand age, the gift of the emperor. Because of the urgency of the war, your majesty was sympathetic to the officers and people of the border, so the ministers dare not propose it. Now the border victory is overwhelming, and the ceremony cannot be abandoned. Please also hold the autumn as scheduled. Hunting ceremony."
When the courtiers mentioned it, Emperor Ning remembered that there had been no autumn hunting for three years.
Since he recovered from his illness, he has been healthy, and he also wanted to practice on the hunting ground, so as not to get bored in the palace compound.
Hearing the words "Qiuhun", the eldest prince stood there, his heart raised his throat.
The father should agree, right
"No, no, I won't go! Guhou hasn't come back yet, and Shubai and they haven't come back. What's the point of going there by myself?"
The Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette was speechless for a while, and then I remembered that the hunting in the autumn of the past years was Gu Huaijiang and Emperor Ning. The good name is that Gu Huaijiang led the Gu's army to guard the security of the paddock and your Majesty. In fact, it was the two brothers hunting together.
This year, Gu Huaijiang still didn't come back from the border, Ningdi simply didn't even want to go to Autumn Hunt.
He cast his eyes on Chen Ge for help, Chen Ge paused, and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Guhou and Shizi are still on the border, saying that they will stay for a few days to pay attention to the movements of Xikun. When they come back, they have already entered. Winter, isn't this year's autumn hunting going to be put on hold until next year?"
Next year, if you put it aside until next year, it means that the autumn hunting has not been held for four full years.
Emperor Ning was still thinking, and the eldest prince stood up and said: "Father, the Autumn Hunting Ceremony is related to the national system. It is precisely because of Gu Hou's victory at the border that the Korean Central Committee should hold a grand ceremony to promote the prestige of the East and the Kingdom. Look at the ambitions of wolves, although my Dongling people are literary, I also have heroes who can ride horses and bows!"
These words came to Ning's heart, and he nodded, "Guhou is working hard at the border, if they are ordered to rush back to participate in the ceremony, it would be difficult for the strong. That's it, then the autumn hunting ceremony will be held as scheduled. The Ministry of Ritual and the Ministry of War will each Prepare according to the regulations."
After retiring from the court, the second prince gave the eldest prince a contemptuous look.
"Bullshit, it sounds like you defeated the Xikun people on the battlefield."
Yin Shuo just walked up to him and heard his muttering, "Why should your Highness care about him? If you can vote for your Majesty in the hall, you can accumulate more prestige and holy grace. Your Majesty is obviously about this autumn hunt. Quite interested, is your Highness willing to give up the opportunity to the prince?"
The second prince looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, and then he took Yin Shuo to the corner, "What do you mean by this, I might as well speak up."
Yin Shuo smiled and said: "The prince has already seized the opportunity and has won the favor of his majesty on whether or not to hold the autumn hunt. It is better to say that it is worse than to do it. If your Royal Highness can win the prince on the hunting ground, then Have you compared him completely?"
The second prince frowned, "What you said makes sense, but what's the use of temporarily holding the Buddha's feet? His riding and shooting skills are originally better than me, I'm afraid it will be difficult to beat him."
Yin Shuo said, "Your Majesty, don’t worry, I happen to know someone who is very adept at bows and arrows. He traveled all over the continent of Kyushu with a bow in the rivers and lakes. Because his surname is Yang, the people from the rivers and lakes have a good name called Baibu Yang. Your Highness. If he can get his guidance, it will not be impossible for archery to advance by leaps and bounds within a few days."
"real?"
The second prince said with joy: "Baibu Yang, this name is good, doesn't it match Baibu Chuanyang? Where is this person now, I will learn archery from him!"
Yin Shuo smiled with deep meaning, "This person lives in Nail Alley, and his Royal Highness sends someone to ask. Isn't it easy to invite to the Second Prince's Mansion to study?"
"Such a talented person, it would be bad if Ning Yizhao recruited first. This prince will go ahead and thank you for recommending it in the next day!"
The second prince patted him on the shoulder, and hurriedly walked out of the palace.
Yin Shuo bowed his hand to watch him leave until he was far away, he raised his head, a weird smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
…
It wasn't until the third watch that night before Yin Shuo came out of the outer study and returned to his bedroom.
Before entering the door, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
There was a stranger's breath, which made his whole body stand up. It was not a unique smell, but a breath.
He can perceive it without sniffing it.
He looked around in the courtyard, and the guards in the mansion were normal, and they should not be assassins.
Who would it be
He vaguely guessed, opened the door and entered the room, and he saw a red candle lit on the table with a dim light.
Looking through the candlelight into the screen of the inner room, a vague figure was sitting on the edge of the bed.
He walked slowly towards the inner room, and saw Princess Danyang wearing a golden-lined peony bedclothes, she quietly sat on the bedside and did not speak, quite a bit of a classic beauty.
Hearing Yin Shuo's footsteps, Princess Danyang became more ashamed to look up. She lowered her eyebrows, and saw her breasts half exposed under her thin bedding, and her skin was white and flawless.
Yin Shuo's gaze fell on her, and he did not look away for a long time.
Everything is as she expected.
A smug smile appeared on her face, and she raised her eyes to look at Yin Shuo shyly, "You are back."
Yin Shuo was stunned for a moment.
Princess Danyang continued: "Second brother said that you showed loyalty to him and introduced him a good archer master. In fact, in your heart, you still regard us as your own people, don't you?"
Yin Shuo did not speak, and Princess Danyang thought he had acquiesced, "I thought a lot, no matter what the relationship between you and me was before we got married, but now we are husband and wife. You don't want to be angry with me, okay?"
She lifted her face completely, and Yin Shuo finally recovered.
He knew why he was so stunned, because Princess Danyang's sentence you are back is exactly the same as Yufu's soft tone.
Is she imitating Yufu? Does she know what she thinks about Yufu
Yin Shuo looked at her and said calmly, "Why is the princess so gentle tonight? It makes people unaccustomed to it for a while."
Princess Danyang was quite proud, pursing her lips, showing a shy smile, "Really? Sure enough, all of you men like this set, and you like women who seem gentle and well-behaved. It's like Gu... It's like everyone likes Yufu. ."
Yin Shuo slowly walked to her side and sat down, "Oh? Who are you, who likes Zhenjiang Princess?"
The breath of the man was getting closer and closer to her. Princess Danyang throbbed in her heart and forgot to think about why he asked this question, "Naturally it is the group of men from the Gu family and the second brother! Do you know? Even the second brother likes Yufu !"
When she mentioned that Yufu's tone became heavy unconsciously, she was busy calming down and continued to look at Yin Shuo with gentle eyes.
It turned out that she didn't know, but she was careless.
Yin Shuo smiled and said: "The second prince likes Princess Zhenjiang, of course I know this. If I don't like it, how can I give her such a good pigeon blood?"
When it came to this, Princess Danyang became more unhappy. The second prince never gave her such a valuable thing, but gave it to Yufu.
If this topic continued, it would have spoiled the atmosphere under Hua Qianyue, Princess Danyang changed the subject, "You have worked hard for a day, and it's getting late now. Why don't you rest earlier?"
"Rest?"
Yin Shuo looked at her meaningfully, "It's time to rest. The princess should go back to rest, too, forgive me for not far away."
When she said that she undressed and undressed, the slender fingers lifted the lapels of her neck so elegantly that Princess Danyang was stunned.
It's such an annoying person, born with such a good skin!
She was ashamed and angry, and stood up at a loss.
Dressed like this, wouldn't Yin Shuo know what she meant
He pretended not to know, just because he was angry that he had humiliated him before and refused to conquer the house.
Princess Danyang had never experienced such a thing. She thought that she would come to please Yin Shuo personally, and Yin Shuo would definitely bow down under her pomegranate skirt.
She is too confident to provoke this humiliation!
Princess Danyang's face was bloodshot, and she turned and walked outside, just wanting to get out of Yin Shuo's sight as soon as possible.
The moment she didn't want to turn around, Yin Shuo took her hand and turned towards her arms.
She fell in his arms unexpectedly, the delicate skin on his chest, the slender and abrupt collarbone...
"you you… "
At this point, she didn't know what to say.
Yin Shuo took the opportunity to put her on the bed, "The princess recommended herself a pillow seat, if I refuse, won't people doubt my ability in a certain aspect?"
Princess Danyang blushed and closed her eyes, Yin Shuo sneered, and a cruel look flashed under her eyes, "But it will hurt, you have to hold back."
