Bailiji bent his lips, his eyes sparkled like stars, and his voice was clear and melodious, "You and I will be husband and wife after we get married, so naturally we will ride the same horse."
His breath sprinkled on his face imperceptibly, Shen Mubai looked at the prince who was close at hand, and was slightly absent-minded.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered the masked boy she met at the Lantern Festival that day.
Shen Mubai shook his head, how could there be such a coincidence in the world, besides, Bailiji has not seen her for eight years, the possibility of recognizing her at first sight is extremely low, let alone his attitude was so bad when he was a child indifferent.
This banquet hosted singing and dancing, and the emperor was very happy, and drank more wine.
He smiled and said, "Tomorrow is the hunting day. I wonder if there will be someone who will impress me this year. I am looking forward to it."
The fifth prince got up and said, "Father, my son will definitely not let you down."
The emperor glanced at him and said, "I remember the bow and arrow you held several years ago."
Some people in the banquet remembered this incident. The fifth prince participated in the hunt back then, holding a bow and arrow and throwing himself off the horse.
The fifth prince showed embarrassment, and hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "I have practiced hard these few years, and it will definitely not be the same as that day."
The emperor nodded, "If that's the case, then don't let me disappoint you a second time."
The fifth prince showed a smile, secretly made up his mind, and replied, "Yes, father."
As soon as he sat down, several princes got up one after another immediately. Naturally, they came prepared, and everyone wanted to show their hands and feet in front of the emperor, so as to win favor.
The smile on the emperor's face gradually faded, but few people noticed it. Those who knew him knew that he was angry.
The guard next to the second prince is a person who can read words and expressions, and he couldn't help laughing when he saw this, "Fifth prince and the others are clever but they were mistaken by their cleverness."
The second prince shook his head, with a mocking arc drawn on the corner of his lips, "This is extremely stupid. Father attaches great importance to the hunting day, and it is a pleasure to get it. They rushed forward one by one, thinking that expressing their attitudes would make people happy." Emperor Father showed admiration, but what Emperor Father always hates most is being too purposeful when hunting. Being ambitious is not a bad thing, the bad thing is that they are self-righteous in front of Emperor Father."
The guard nodded, "It's still the second prince who sees things clearly, and his subordinates are dull. It seems that on this hunting day, you have the greatest chance of winning the emperor's favor."
The second prince drank a glass of wine, put his eyes on Bailiji, and said with a sneer, "Then you have forgotten one person."
Following his line of sight, the guard was taken aback, "Although the prince did not get up, what he has done these years is enough to chill the emperor."
"It would be better if this is the case." The second prince squinted his eyes and looked at the girl on the prince's body, "But if he is married to the second lady of the Xiao family, the position of the prince will be more stable."
"Although the Xiao family has important responsibilities in the court, the Yang family is not bad, why not the second prince..." The guard hesitated to speak.
The second prince said indifferently, "I would like to, but this Yang Qingge is only nine years old this year. When she is old enough, why should I compete with this Bailiji?"
Although the Son of Heaven appears to be in good health, Taoists have often entered the palace in the past few years, as long as they think deeply inside, they can understand something.
He drank another glass of wine, his throat was hot, he couldn't help squinting his eyes, looking at the very beautiful Second Miss of the Xiao family, he didn't know what he was thinking.
