Chapter 1653 The Bustling First City

PreviousBack to directoryNext
The couplets fell, confetti flew, and everyone below cheered in unison.

The queen was so heartbroken that she could barely maintain her dignified appearance and almost screamed.

Ning Zhiyuan was so happy that he almost went crazy: "Gu She got it! Gu She got it!"

Emperor Chengming also shouted: "Okay! As expected of me, the crown prince of Dayan!"

Tang Miaoxin curled her lips when she saw this scene. Ning Zhiyuan's arrow just missed the target, so it could still hit the target. She didn't believe that there was no problem.

Unfortunately, this technique is what she has left.

She felt that Emperor Cheng Ming had really gone to great lengths for Ning Zhiyuan, and this method of promoting desire before suppressing it was really extraordinary.

She lightly touched Ning Guzhou with her shoulder and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has an unusual preference for the Prince!"

Of course Ning Guzhou could see the problem here, and his tone was very calm: "It's always been like this."

Tang Miaoxin glanced at him, inexplicably feeling that he was a little pitiful.

Both were princes, but Emperor Cheng Ming's attitudes towards Ning Zhiyuan and Ning Guzhou were completely different.

However, Ning Guzhou was far superior to Ning Zhiyuan in terms of ability, wealth and intelligence, but he had to restrain himself and use cruelty to cover himself up.

She leaned into his ear and whispered: "In my heart, Prince Wang is the best!"

Ning Guzhou didn't expect to hear her words like this at this time. He was very surprised and a little elated.

He turned to look at her and saw a somewhat comforting look in her peach blossom eyes.

He was both disappointed and amused. Over the years, he had been disappointed so many times that he no longer cared about these things.

But her sympathetic comfort still made his heart feel warm.

He said: "Since you know that I am so kind to you, you should be nicer to me in the future!"

Tang Miao coaxed him: "I will definitely be kind to the prince from now on, and treat him with all my heart."

Ning Guzhou knew that her words were not sincere, but he was still very happy.

On his face, he said very calmly: "I have written down your words."

Tang Miaoxin chuckled. She had said this to many people, and she thought Ning Guzhou should just respond casually.

Because Ning Zhiyuan shot that arrow and Emperor Cheng Ming praised him, his already precarious position as crown prince suddenly became stable again.

The second prince's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from his face.

He spent so much effort to make Emperor Chengming slightly disappointed with Ning Zhiyuan, but he didn't expect that Ning Zhiyuan could save it with just one arrow!

There was malice in his eyes, reflecting Emperor Ming's preference for Ning Zhiyuan. If Ning Zhiyuan had not died, he would never be able to become the prince!

And this hunting ground is the day of Ning Zhiyuan’s death!

Emperor Chengming said loudly: "This year's autumn hunting is slightly different from previous years. The one who shoots the most prey will be rewarded heavily!"

The queen smiled and asked: "I wonder what reward the emperor has?"

Emperor Chengming clapped his hands, and a group of servants came out one after another carrying a pile of things.

They are a series of treasures such as blood coral, calligraphy and painting of the previous dynasty, luminous pearl, jade Ruyi and so on.

Nine of them were spread out in front of everyone, and the last one was covered with a piece of yellow satin.

Emperor Chengming opened it with his own hands, and what was inside was a series of small seals carved from Tianhuang stone. Everyone gasped when they saw it.

Emperor Chengming smiled and said: "This string of small seals is my private seal, and I don't use it too little."

"Whoever hunts the most prey among the princes today, I will give him this private seal, and then he can use it to discuss affairs in the cabinet."

No one thought that Emperor Cheng Ming would make such a decision at this time.

The private seal of Emperor Cheng Ming was not simple. In addition to the important imperial edicts stamped with jade seals, he usually stamped this private seal.

It can be seen that this private seal has great power, not to mention that he can also enter the cabinet to discuss affairs.

The two combined are more powerful than the current crown prince!

After Emperor Cheng Ming finished speaking, he looked at Ning Zhiyuan: "The fact that the prince can hit the 'outstanding' shot shows that his archery skills are excellent."

"You have to work hard today, don't let me down!"

Originally, the queen wanted to say something more, but Emperor Cheng Ming blocked all her words when she said this.

She couldn't say that Ning Zhiyuan was not good at riding and shooting. Today's 'outstanding' shot was just luck. He couldn't handle the bow and horse at all, could he?

She then had another idea. Each prince would have specific arrow feathers to distinguish his prey.

After entering the hunting ground, each prince will bring his entourage. As long as the entourage shoots the prey with the prince's arrow, it will be regarded as belonging to that prince.

It doesn't matter that Ning Zhiyuan's archery and horse skills are not good, there are many skilled archers and horses around him.

She smiled and said: "Prince, your father has high hopes for you, you must not let your father down!"

The joints in the middle can be understood by everyone present.

Coupled with the "outstanding" shooting incident just now, all the ministers felt that Emperor Cheng Ming wanted to take this opportunity to clear up Ning Zhiyuan's name and stabilize his position as crown prince.

The princes had an idea in their hearts. No matter what Emperor Cheng Ming had in mind, the opportunity was right in front of him and he had to give it a try no matter what.

Su Jue's face was thoughtful, this matter was not simple in his opinion.

As the second-in-command of the First City, he has not only helped manage the First City over the years, he has also often traveled to other six countries as envoys.

He had seen a lot of various schemes and methods, and he intuitively felt that there was a big problem here. Something would definitely happen this time in Qiu Xie!

Emperor Chengming had already announced on the stage: "The autumn hunting has begun!"

Everyone can't wait to ride their horses and run into the forest. Whoever goes in first at this time will have a slight advantage.

Ning Guzhou did not run into the woods like them.

He said to Tang Miaoxin in a low voice: "They will definitely be crazy for hunting today, so we won't compete with them. We can just hunt enough food in the periphery."

Tang Miaoxin was a little surprised. She knew that he not only had ambitions but also strength. Why would he give up such a good opportunity today?

After Su Jue heard what he said, she smiled and said, "If King Qin doesn't go in, I'm afraid other princes will take the lead."

Ning Guzhou said expressionlessly: "The king only brought one guard here. If you can't catch them, there is no need to waste your efforts."

"If you have the time, why not spend time with my beloved concubine?"

Su Jue was a little surprised. Because of Tang Miao's mind, he carefully checked Ning Guzhou.

The information I found was all about Ning Guzhou's cruel temperament and his lack of knowledge and skill. If you dig deeper, you won't find anything.

But this time when he went to Dayan Empress to see Ning Guzhou's behavior, it was definitely related to things like ignoramus and cruelty.

The feeling Ning Guzhou gave him was unfathomable, and this time the feeling was particularly obvious.

Among all the princes, he was the only one who could be so calm when facing Emperor Cheng Ming's reward.

This kind of person either has no interest in the throne, or he has a clear mind and sees things that others cannot see!
