Chapter 156: Winter Hunt (2)

Views:

Li Rong slept until dawn, and when she woke up in the morning, she looked out the window and saw that the sun was very good, she couldn't help but feel a little happy, and turned to look at Jinglan: "The weather is pretty good today."

"The days of Qin Tian's election are naturally good."

Jinglan combed Li Rong's hair: "Your Highness, you can leave now."

"Have you brought everything you should bring?"

Li Rong turned her back to Jinglan and looked at herself in the mirror. Jinglan responded with a voice, "I have brought all the medicines, poisons, and daggers I can think of."

Li Rong nodded. She looked at the young girl's eyes in the mirror. After a while, she stood up, turned around and said peacefully, "Let's go."

When Li Rong got into the carriage and went out, Su Rongqing was already dressed, and was about to go out when she heard Su Ronghua shouting from behind, "Rongqing!"

Su Rongqing turned around and saw Su Ronghua hurriedly trotting out of the inner courtyard, Su Rongqing frowned, "Big brother?"

"I'll go with you."

Su Ronghua threw back the hair that fell in front of him, put his hand on Su Rongqing's shoulder, and said happily, "Let's go."

"Brother, don't you never go to such occasions?"

Su Rongqing was dragged out by Su Ronghua, with some doubts. Su Ronghua smiled and got into the carriage with him, grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the table, leaned against the table, and said with a smile, "I haven't been out with you for so many years, are you looking for some fun? Look at you, I don't know what's going on, I've been unhappy for the past two years."

Su Rongqing didn't speak, bowed her head and served tea, Su Ronghua thought for a while, then leaned forward: "Are you still thinking of the princess?"

"Brother be careful."

Su Rongqing raised her head instantly and looked at Su Ronghua in warning. Su Ronghua hurriedly opened his hand to signal to admit defeat and retreat. Su Rongqing poured tea and said calmly, "Is it for Miss Shangguan?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Ronghua froze, Su Rongqing thought for a while, and said slowly, "Since you like it, why don't eldest brother propose marriage directly?"

"Just... I feel a little pretentious."

Su Ronghua pondered, he thought for a while, and said slowly, "When two people are together, they should know, understand, and love each other first, and then think that when they can live a lifetime, talk about it for a lifetime."

As Su Ronghua spoke, he couldn't help but laugh, with a bit of yearning.

He thought about it for a while, and then said: "In addition, the situation has not been good these years, and the Shangguan family has been stared at by His Majesty. I want to propose a marriage. In everyone's eyes, this is the marriage between the Su family and the Shangguan family. Either it has to be rushed. I'm busy getting married before Your Majesty finds out, or I guess His Majesty has to issue a marriage decree and tear me and Miss Aya apart. I don't want to go either way. Whoever I want to marry, it must cost eight Carrying the big sedan chair, the scenery is beautiful, and I don’t want to take into account the scruples. I just thought I would wait for the prince to ascend the throne, and then I will come to the door to propose a marriage.”

"Aren't you afraid that Miss Shangguan won't be able to wait for you?" Su Rongqing pushed the poured tea to Su Ronghua, Su Ronghua shook her head, "She is still in charge of Shangguan's house, and I'm afraid she doesn't want to get married for a while."

"What if she wants to get married?"

These words stopped Su Ronghua, he thought for a while, then smiled: "Then marry, as long as she says a word, I will go back to the old man, beat him, and immediately come to the house to propose marriage."

"However, don't rush me to marry her," Su Ronghua waved his hand, "You are still fighting with others for the fool like King Su. If the prince doesn't ascend the throne, how can I propose marriage?"

"Are you so sure that the prince will ascend to the throne?" Su Rongqing's tone was indifferent, Su Ronghua turned the teacup in his hand, and answered nonchalantly: "There are only two princes, Prince Su and Prince, you don't need to think about it."

As he said that, Su Ronghua glanced at him with disgust: "I don't know which muscle you were hanging on the rope of King Su, but I listened to my brother's advice," Su Ronghua leaned forward. Pressing the fan on the table, lowered his voice, showing a bit of seriousness, "Enough is enough, turn back to the shore."

Su Rongqing lowered his head and said nothing. After a while, he smiled softly: "Don't worry, eldest brother, it will be over soon."

"That's good."

"However," Su Rongqing raised her eyes to look at Su Ronghua, "if I always disagree with Miss Shangguan, what will Big Brother do?"

Su Ronghua got this, paused, slowly raised his eyelids, and stared at Su Rongqing.

"You are my brother."

Su Ronghua's voice was calm: "I will keep persuading you until the day I die."

Su Rongqing was stunned for a while, and Su Ronghua suddenly reached out and patted his shoulder: "So, if you really want to be good for me, just be a good person and don't make trouble, eh?"

Su Rongqing didn't speak. After a long time, he murmured, "You two will be together."

"Huh?" Su Ronghua couldn't understand, "What did you say?"

Su Rongqing raised her eyes and smiled, and pushed his hand away: "I said, when the time is right, I will personally propose a marriage for you."

After speaking, Su Rongqing changed the subject with a smile, the two brothers chatted and laughed, and went to the suburbs.

Li Rong entered the venue one step earlier than the others. After entering, she saw Shangguan Ya sitting on the high platform where the female family members sat early, and Pei Wenxuan had also entered the venue. Seeing her coming in, she looked at her from the crowd and nodded lightly.

Li Rong stepped up to Shangguanya's side and patted her shoulder with a fan: "Go to my place?"

As the emperor's heir, Li Rong was next to Li Chuan, in a small pavilion below Li Ming, facing the school grounds, with an excellent view.

Shangguan Ya got the words, got up and followed Li Rong to her place, kneeling behind Li Rong.

Shortly after Li Rong was seated, Li Ming led Shangguan Yue to the school grounds. Everyone stood up to welcome Li Ming into the seat. Then the soldiers selected by the Sixth Army came out and stood on the school grounds dressed in six colors.

The ceremonial officer led Li Chuan to the high platform. After Li Chuan burned incense to offer sacrifices to the mountain god, he turned his head to express his condolences to the soldiers who had guarded Huajing for a year, and then Li Ming got up and announced the official start of the entire winter hunt.

"This winter hunting, we will be divided into six teams, each team will have an army flag. In the depths of the mountains and forests, there is an army flag. After you leave the forest, the one with the most army flags will win. There are wild animals in the forest. Fifty wild animals are equal to one flag. Don't hurt people during the process, and if anyone intentionally hurts people, they will be dealt with according to law."

Li Chuan said, glanced at the eunuch below, and then continued: "Now the flag is divided, after the drum sound, press from the left to enter the forest, hit the drum and horn when you are, and return when you hear the sound."

The eunuch trotted into the arena with flags of different colors and handed the flags to the leader of each team. After the flags were distributed, the drums were beaten, the soldiers drove their horses into the forest, and the school field gradually became empty.

Su Ronghua and Su Rongqing sat on the seats of the aristocratic family, took an orange, looked at the arena, and said casually, "You guys come here every year to watch this kind of excitement? What's so good about it?"

With that said, Su Ronghua pretended to have an unintentional glance at the high platform. In the distance, Shangguanya was kneeling upright and straight, bowing her head and talking to Li Rong.

"Wait a while, after Your Majesty's order, the families will walk around," Su Rongqing knew what he was waiting for, and reminded in a low voice, "You can go to Miss Shangguan at that time."

Su Ronghua raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Rongqing. Su Rongqing's expression did not change. After a while, he laughed: "The ghost is clever."

After Li Chuan arranged everything, he returned to his position. All the soldiers entered the forest, and there was nothing to see. After Li Ming said that everyone should move on their own, everyone dispersed, and each found a familiar person to chat with. come.

Su Ronghua looked around, walked in front of Su Rongqing, and said a little nervously, "Am I just going there?"

"Go." Su Rongqing nodded and smiled, "Just walk over there."

After Su Ronghua asked this, he also felt a little stupid. He coughed lightly, and was embarrassed to face Su Rongqing, so he turned his head and left quickly.

He deliberately slowed down his steps, which might not be stable enough, went around the corridor, went up the steps, and reached the edge of the Shangguanya seat, but before he even got there, he saw Lin Feibai walking in front of Li Rong from the other side. Li Rong saluted, but she didn't understand what she said, so she saw that Shangguanya smiled at him, Shangguanya waved at Lin Feibai, Lin Feibai seemed a little embarrassed, and finally bent down and let Shangguan go. Ya took a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Su Ronghua froze in place for a while.

He had never seen Shangguanya so gentle. Although Lin Feibai didn't smile, he was even a little embarrassed, but he bent down carefully, afraid that Shangguanya would be tired when he raised his hand, but it also showed his share of Shangguanya. Silent consideration.

The two of them seemed to be one world, silently excluding him.

Su Ronghua paused, and he looked at them quietly. After a while, Lin Feibai also seemed to notice Su Ronghua's existence. He was talking to Shangguanya when he turned his head and stopped.

Lin Feibai suddenly stopped speaking, Li Rong, and Shangguanya felt strange. The two looked over together and saw Su Ronghua standing not far away. He looked at Lin Feibai quietly, his eyes were slightly cold.

Lin Feibai stood up straight and met Su Ronghua's gaze. Everyone around him was whispering, and Su Ronghua vaguely heard a few words from it: "Eldest Young Master Su doesn't seem to know."

"It's only a few days."

Su Ronghua didn't speak, he quietly watched the two of them, and after a while, he suddenly stepped up and walked to Shangguanya, but before he could get there, Lin Feibai stepped forward and stood in front of him.

"Let me have a word with her."

Su Ronghua restrained his emotions, stared at Lin Feibai, and lowered his voice.

"Go back and say," Lin Feibai's voice was cold, "don't let people see jokes here."

These words reminded Su Ronghua, Su Ronghua stared at Shangguanya, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he calmed down a lot, only said: "I'll just say a few words, and I won't let people see It's a joke."

Lin Feibai hesitated for a moment, Shangguanya looked at the school grounds, and said lightly: "Then say it, Feibai, get out of the way."

Lin Feibai looked back at Shang Guanya, and finally gave in.

Su Ronghua stepped up in front of Shangguanya, he half squatted down and stared at Shangguanya: "Why?"

"Why?" Shangguanya turned to look at him, "Didn't I say what I should say?"

"Are you going to marry him?"

Su Ronghua asked directly, and Shangguan Ya replied, "Well, how?"

"Why not tell me?"

"Su Ronghua," Shangguanya couldn't help laughing, "what's the relationship between you and me? What am I going to do, do I have to make a deal with you? Who do I want to marry, who I like, who I like, I don't want to see it now You, I hope Young Master Su maintains his own identity, and don't look for me in the future."

Su Ronghua didn't speak, he stared at Shangguanya.

Shangguanya held up the teacup and raised her eyebrows with a smile: "Didn't you say you won't let people see jokes? Young Master Su, if you continue to squat in front of me like this, it's really a joke."

"Shangguanya, don't do things that you regret."

"I do things," Shangguanya raised her head slightly, with a little provocation in her eyes, "I never regret it."

Su Ronghua chuckled lightly. He supported himself to stand up, his eyes shifted from Shangguanya all the way to Lin Feibai, after a few glances, he nodded with a smile, and then walked down.

When he returned to his seat, Li Rong looked at Shangguanya: "It's so good, what do you provoke him to do?"

"bother."

Shangguanya drank the tea: "He has never been to such a place before, and he doesn't know what to do today."

Li Rong saw Shang Guanya's angry look, she held up the teacup and said slowly, "I, just watch how lively you young people are."

Shangguanya turned her head and Li Rong gave her a wink: "It's duplicitous, ups and downs."

Shangguanya was choked up by what she said, and after holding it for a long time, she turned her head and said, "Your Highness, you are also annoying."

Li Rong laughed out loud, and it was at this moment that Li Mingsheng said, "Everyone."

As soon as Li Ming's voice came out, the audience fell silent. Li Ming smiled and seemed very happy: "I have nothing to do, let the young people play a game and play polo."

Li Ming said, and said: "Whoever wins, I make a wish for him. But you have to promise me that you must play beautifully and look good!"

Speaking, Li Ming looked around: "If anyone wants to play, stand up and let me see."

The royal family never does things without a reason, especially if they make a heavy promise like a wish. The presence of high-level nobles who have been in the court for many years naturally knows this truth and dare not rush out.

Lin Feibai walked out of the crowd and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen, please fight."

"You are..." Li Ming thought about it, and was a little surprised, "Ah, you are that Xie Lanqing's son!"

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen joined the army in the southwest. Over the years, he has beheaded the enemy and killed pirates, and he has been promoted to the general of Zhengwupin Zhennan. The war has just stopped recently, and he misses his homeland, so he took leave and returned to Beijing."

"You have such an opportunity, you are really very human. It is a good thing to know your mistakes and correct them. Since you are invited to fight, do you have an opponent you want?"

"We have heard that the second son of Su in Beijing is very good at golf, and there is a chance today," Lin Feibai looked at Su Rongqing, "I also hope that Su Shilang will give me some advice."

Hearing that Lin Fei chose Su Rongqing in vain, everyone looked at each other, not knowing for a while what medicine was bought in the gourd.

Su Rongqing listened to Lin Feibai's words, looked at Lin Feibai quietly, and before he could speak, she heard a lazy voice.

"Playing polo, you are wrong to look for my second brother." Everyone looked at the sound, and saw Su Ronghua lazily getting up and stepping down from the seat, "Playing polo in Beijing, I am Su Ronghua. It's not one of the best, but it's also a bit of a bad name. General Xie," Su Ronghua raised his hand, "I will play a game for my younger brother. I'm sure General, won't you be offended?"

"Okay," Li Ming agreed without waiting for Lin Feibai to agree. He turned to look at Su Ronghua and said with a smile, "Su Da is here today, and I have always liked your temperament. You and General Xie are both wonderful. Man, I'm looking forward to this game."

Since Li Ming opened his mouth, Lin Feibai couldn't refuse, so he could only salute respectfully and back down with Su Ronghua to change clothes.

As soon as they left, Shangguanya stood up immediately, Li Rong took the teacup and blew the tea leaves floating on the teacup: "What are you going to do?"

"To persuade him to clear his head."

Shangguanya threw a word and hurried to the tent where she was changing clothes.

When she arrived at the tent, Su Ronghua had just changed clothes and came out. Shangguanya saw him and immediately greeted him: "Su Ronghua!"

Su Ronghua gave her a sideways glance, took the cue from the servant's hand, ignored her, and walked forward.

He has long legs and big steps, so he didn't wait for Shangguanya deliberately. Shangguanya could only trot and follow him: "What are you doing with Lin Feibai, why are you crazy!"

"You guys are clearly scheming against my brother, and you think I'm an idiot?" Su Ronghua gave her a look, "Besides, what is the relationship between you and me? If I like to play polo, I play polo. Do I have to give you a discount?"

Shangguanya's words were returned to her as they were, but Shangguanya was at a loss for words and watched Su Ronghua step out.

Li Rong slowly drank a cup of tea, and then saw Shangguanya rushing back aggressively, and started pouring tea as soon as she sat down.

Li Rong looked at her sideways and couldn't help laughing: "Have you hit a nail?"

"Your Highness, now is not the time to laugh," she said anxiously, "Su Ronghua came on stage, and Su Rongqing stayed below. If you don't transfer him away, you are afraid that something will go wrong with Xie Chunhe."

"It's okay," Li Rong said softly. She smiled and glanced at Pei Wenxuan who was still on the field. "Pei Wenxuan is also sitting."

Li Rong's attitude reassured Shangguanya. At this time, Lin Feibai also returned to the school field. They each led four people, got on their horses, carried the club, and came to the middle of the field. After giving the order, Su Ronghua was in front of Lin Feibai's reaction. With a flick of the club, he hit the ball out, and then rode his horse straight away from Lin Fei's white-collar people. Lin Feibai also reacted very quickly, turned around in an instant, and hurriedly chased after Su Ronghua. Backhand a club before the goal and hit the ball back.

The start was so intense, the audience instantly boiled over, and the two teams started chasing back and forth on the field.

Lin Feibai was born as a killer, so it goes without saying that he doesn't play polo very often. Under the rules, he is no more flexible than Su Ronghua, who is used to playing polo.

It's just that he is still agile, and every time Su Ronghua is about to score, he is stopped by him.

So the two sides stalemate for the entire first half, not a single ball went in.

Although the ball didn't score, this level of competition made the entire field very nervous. Even Li Ming, who was used to watching polo matches, couldn't help staring at the two people who were fighting on the field.

Tong Ye carried the teapot behind Pei Wenxuan, knelt down and said in a low voice, "Sir, Su Rongqing's people have been in the way. Su Rongqing has to be set aside so that he can no longer be in charge behind."

Pei Wenxuan served tea and looked at the arena without speaking.

Seeing that the first half time was approaching, Su Ronghua suddenly accelerated the offensive, Lin Feibai was on guard, and seeing Su Ronghua changed his style of play regardless, he couldn't help frowning, and he said, "What are you arguing about? ?"

"What are you arguing about," Su Ronghua chased after the polo, "I am arguing about something."

"She doesn't like you." Lin Feibai waved back when Su Ronghua was about to hit the polo into the goal, and the polo folded back again, "It's easy to find another noble woman because of your identity. Breathe out?"

"Do you think I'm angry?"

Su Ronghua stared at him coldly, slid sideways from the horse to halfway, suspended in the air, swiftly passed between the four people surrounded, and hit the ball into the distance with a stick.

"I'm a playboy, why do you pretend to be deeply in love?" Lin Feibai caught up with him, "If you like her, why not marry her earlier?"

Saying that, Lin Feibai's teammates rushed up to block him, Lin Feibai rushed forward, guarded in front of the goal, raised his hand and counterattacked the ball back.

It was at this moment that the three gongs ended, and the first sounded!

The crowd stood up and cheered.

Su Ronghua bypassed the crowd and rushed towards Lin Feibai.

And Lin Feibai also chased the ball and charged towards Su Ronghua.

The ball is in the middle of the court. As long as the last hit is made, there is a possibility of scoring a goal. It depends on the two people who will make the hit first.

The two ran away on horseback, and Li Chuan couldn't help showing a surprised expression: "What are they doing?"

Second gong!

Li Rong didn't answer him, and Shangguanya squeezed her fist involuntarily.

Seeing the two horses getting closer and closer, until the last moment, the two horses collided fiercely, and the polo cues also beat together, and then between the third gong, accompanied by the sound of the two horses neighing. , both of them were slammed by the horse and rolled off the horse's back!

Su Rongqing suddenly stood up and shouted, "The Imperial Physician!"

With that said, he rushed towards the arena.

And Pei Wenxuan also stood up and hurried to Lin Feibai's side.

Lin Feibai has no foundation in Huajing now, and the Xie family who came here today are not very friendly with him. If something really happened, he wouldn't care, or he would die on the field.

The imperial doctor trotted all the way. Su Rongqing and Pei Wenxuan checked their injuries first, and when it was confirmed that there was no serious problem, the imperial doctor also rushed over.

Both of them were injured to varying degrees, and after the imperial doctor made a diagnosis and treatment, they were helped to leave.

He didn't want Pei Wenxuan to help Lin Feibai to turn around when he heard Su Ronghua's voice behind him: "There is still the second half."

Lin Feibai paused, turned around, saw blood dripping from Su Ronghua's hand, and looked at him calmly: "I haven't won yet."

"Big brother."

Su Rongqing frowned: "You go to rest first."

"it is good."

Lin Feibai met Su Ronghua's gaze: "I will accompany you to the end."

The two were deadlocked, and it was at this moment that Pei Wenxuan chuckled: "It's just a polo game, it's not that you can't make substitutions."

Pei Wenxuan said, took the cue from Lin Feibai's hand, turned to look at Su Rongqing, with a half-smile, "Second Master Su, do you think so?"

Su Rongqing looked at Pei Wenxuan coldly. Pei Wenxuan raised his eyebrows: "I've already played, what are you afraid of, Second Young Master?"

Hearing this, Su Rongqing smiled.

"Master Pei is right."

Su Rongqing took the cue from Su Ronghua's hand, raised her eyes and stared at it, her brows filled with ice: "In the second half, I will take the place of eldest brother and ask Lord Pei for a round."
