Chapter 125 Measured
Emperor Yongle suddenly entered the besiege early, which caught people off guard. When Yang Yiping and Chu Ruoxi cleaned up and arrived in a hurry, they found that Emperor Yongle had arrived early with the prince.
The prince's jade crown hair, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, covered with silver soft armor, projected by the rising sun, surrounded by a circle of silver light, with a young general with a heroic feeling.
He stood beside Emperor Yongle in a yellow robe and looked at Chu Ruoxi who came with Yang Yiping. There was an unpredictable smile on the corners of his mouth. He turned to Emperor Yongle and said, "Father, the King of Jin is here. Please decide the rules of today's hunting. I will never let you down!"
Emperor Yongle's face was flushed and he was in good spirits. He didn't look sick at all. He motioned Yang Yiping to come forward and nod, "Yes, there is a Yang family."
Yang Yiping was dressed in a uniform, carrying a bow and arrow, and his waist was straight. He stood beside the Yongle Emperor. He was not inferior to the prince at all. He was praised by the Yongle Emperor. He leaned down slightly: "My son, thank my father and praised him!"
Yongle Di laughed and was afraid twice on his shoulder, "Go pick a good horse, and I'll take you to hunt tigers!"
Chu Ruoxi walked to the prince and smiled: "Your Highness is extraordinary. Today's hunting will definitely be fruitful!"
I saw that everything was arranged in order, and the prince was not like a temporary order, and Emperor Yongle was not like a temporary intention.
Chu Ruoxi couldn't help sighing in his heart that Emperor Yongle was not as dizzy and incompetent in the eyes of the world. It seems that Chu Yuanshan was deceived by his surface. This time, he would probably make some mistakes in taking action against the prince.
The prince was a little unhappy when he saw that Emperor Yongle suddenly kissed the stupid prince Yang Yiping like this. Chu Ruoxi said this, and he suddenly had a fighting spirit and secretly planned to compare Yang Yiping during the hunting, so that his father could understand who is the dragon among people!
"Last time I hunted, I promised you to win a gift for you. Unfortunately, there were some minor accidents at that time and I couldn't have a good time. Today, my father personally took charge. I will definitely sweep away the boredom of not being able to hunt happily and return triumphantly!"
"The gift is just a joke. Ruoxi is here to wish His Highness take the lead and win the first place!"
Emperor Yongle heard the jokes of the two of them and smiled, "It's really two little guessless. They love each other, but they are too crazy. I have never said the rules. You just said that there is no opponent in this hunt."
"I dare not!"
The prince's face turned red, and Emperor Yongle comforted him: "Zheng'er's ambition is a good thing. Why don't you dare to say it? However, you must not do everything capriciously. You should think from a long-term plan and know that the other side is the way to win!"
"What my father taught me was that my son wrote it down!"
When the queen saw that her son was well and was preached by the emperor in front of everyone, she was a little unbearable and said, "It's getting late. Why don't you ask the emperor to set the rules first? Let go of your hands and go hunting!"
Emperor Yongle had no objection. He glanced around and set a reward and punishment: "This hunting aims to strengthen the body, exercise riding and shooting. Those who enter the field, regardless of status and position, but according to his personal ability, those who hunt many prey are divided according to the number, such as those who enter the top three, be promoted to one level, if they can hunt tigers and bears and other fierce beasts, I have another reward, but I have something to say first. Don't bully others and get on horse hunters equally!"
"Yes, I will obey the emperor's will!"
Everyone spoke with one voice and heard that they could be added to the title. The people present couldn't help it for a long time and wanted to try.
Emperor Yongle turned his eyes to Chu Ruoxi and other official ladies, "This dynasty does not discriminate against women dancing knives and guns. If you like it, you can participate without fear of hard work. With this courage alone, I will be rewarded!"
When the women present heard the words, they were all overjoyed, and suddenly many women were willing to enter the field.
Qin Liangyuan, who was spoiled by the son, was because when she was hunting, even the identity of the daughter of the guilty minister could not touch her, and she was included in the Longxiang Hall by the prince. Love is great. Naturally, everyone will not give up such a good opportunity today.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Chu Ruoxi let go of the prince's hand and took a step back.
The prince was a little surprised, "Don't you like to play the most? How are you willing to watch on the wall today?
Chu Ruoxi smiled bitterly, "God punished me for being too capricious. I accidentally broke into the paddock with the king of Jin and suffered the wind and cold. Although it was not very serious, it was still from the intention of the imperial doctor. Let's recuperate for two days first!"
"Oh, it's a pity, but the body is really important. What prey do you want? Just wait for me to help you hunt back!"
Chu Ruoxi smiled and said, "As long as it is hunted by Your Highness, Ruoxi likes it!"
"Good!"
Emperor Yongle took the horse, holding the bow in one hand and gently waved the other, "Let's go!"
The sound of horses' hoofs broke the peace between heaven and earth. Everyone controlled the horse speed in a regular way. They followed the emperor and rushed into the fence. The king of Jin looked back at Chu Ruoxi. The two just looked at each other, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, but soon his legs were clamped and rushed into the forest.
Chu Ruoxi looked at the birds flying and the boiling forest with slightly gloomy eyes. Chu Yunxi followed in. Lin Shuangqing calmed down and obediently stayed beside the queen, but did not go in to please the prince!
"How can it be so unfortunate that you are not feeling well?" The queen looked up and down at Chu Ruoxi with a sad face, "I remember that you are as active as the prince, but today I let you fall alone here and lost a good opportunity to show your skills!"
"The Empress praised it, not to mention that Ruoxi is not feeling well. Even when she is not sick and painless, there are the emperor and His Royal Highness, and there are so many literary and martial generals. How dares to take out those tripod cat things and talk about Ruoxi? It will only make people laugh and generous."
The queen smiled and tapped on her forehead, "It's really a serious illness, but it has restrained your wild nature a lot. This would be your back then, not to mention the little cold. Even if you can't move on your stomach and hear that you can ride a horse with Zheng'er, I'm afraid you will jump up and leave!"
"The Empress wronged me, Ruoxi is not there!" Chu Ruoxi's daughter's delicate face, blushed and lowered her head, pulled her own skirt, and was aggrieved.
"Okay, okay, okay, I have wronged you. Come and sit with me for a while. The hunting will not end for a while. Don't stand under the sun. When Zheng'er comes back, you can meet him again."
The queen's words made several ladies present couldn't help smiling and look at Chu Ruoxi's eyes, which was difficult to hide their jokes.
Chu Ruoxi was ashamed and returned to the queen. As soon as she looked up, she saw Lin Shuangqing, who was also smiling, and her mouth gagged, "The queen is biased. Didn't Sister Shuangqing go hunting? Why do you only say Ruoxi alone!"
"Oh! My good sister!" Lin Shuangqing looked innocent: "My sister dare not be compared with the prince's sister. What's more, my sister has suffered and has complained to the queen. The queen did not dislike it, so she dares to come here shamelessly."
The queen shook her head and said, "Your child, Shuangqing is inconvenient. It is difficult for her to come and accompany me. How can you talk to her?"
Chu Ruoxi knew that Lin Shuangqing's coming from the beginning was not so simple. She wanted to take the opportunity to test why she didn't go in. Unexpectedly, her sunflower came so coincidentally. Thinking about it, or it was not necessarily an excuse. After all, only she knew such a thing with the closest people around her!
"Sister Shuangqing is protected by the queen. How dare Ruoxi not be funny? Forget it, I'd better to stay with the queen, drink tea and eat some snacks!"
Chu Ruoxi took out his family's ability to splash skin and was very close to the queen. He prevaried a few words and picked up the snacks in front of the queen and ate them at all.
The queen laughed and scolded, ordering people to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and snacks. Please taste them as much as possible.
Lin Shuangqing dealt with the queen and other noble women carefully. There were many well-informed ladies, and she knew that she was the woman she liked very much in the prince's heart. The empress also showed her love for her, and her husbands were more deliberately pleasing and close to her.
Lin Shuangqing was neither arrogant nor humble and dissolved all the flattery and curiosity one by one, which made Chu Ruoxi more wary of her. Originally, if she joined the scene with the prince today, she was ready to attack her, but she didn't want her to stop on the spot. She was not as crazy about the prince like other women, so that her plan had Some miscalculation.
Three poles a day, there is continuous good news from the forest. For example, the emperor was brave and shot an adult cheetah with one arrow, which made the generals feel ashamed. The prince played quite well today. In a short time, the hunted animals piled up all over the ground...
While tasting the wine, Chu Ruoxi laughed secretly. The emperor took the lead and won the first place. Do these flattering ministers dare to steal his limelight?
As for His Royal Highness, he ordered someone to do something in private early in the morning. Everyone will secretly give him, and the prey will automatically be sent to him to wait for him to hunt. Can he gain a lot without being captured?
I don't know how long it will take for this self-righteous stupid prince to find that he has been fooled and furious?
For a long time, a large group of people gathered around the Yongle Emperor and returned to the camp to rest. After all, he was not as safe as before. However, although he was tired and excited, he was still happy that he shot the leopard with an arrow.
The queen took a handkerchief and helped Emperor Yongle sweat from his forehead. "It's hard to hunt. Why don't you change your wet shirt first and then use some snacks to nourish your spirit?"
"Good!" Emperor Yongle was exhausted. With the escort of Andehai, he first went back to the camp to bathe and change clothes.
What Chu Ruoxi expected soon returned, and several eunuchs and bodyguards were carried out of the paddock and complained incessantly.
It turned out that the prince found that he was fooled by these flattering dog slaves. In anger, he severely scolded the board and left his words. Who dared to follow him again, fake and raise his head to see him!
"Nonsense!" The queen stood up in surprise and said, "Which dog slave is serving the prince? How can the prince be so fooled? No one can protect him. What if the beast is rude and hurts the prince?"
