Hong Zhou walked around and found nothing, so he summoned a young eunuch and asked, "Did you find anything wrong on the ice?"
The young eunuch looked at Hong Zhou and asked cautiously: "I wonder what the fifth brother said is wrong?"
Hong Zhou didn't know how to answer for a moment, because he didn't see what he hit, he just subconsciously felt something was wrong. Still, Hong Li said: "It's just something that has nothing to do with ice. Did you see it?"
Several young eunuchs looked at each other and shook their heads. This made Hong Zhou depressed. Could it be that he had guessed wrong and it was just an accident?
Hong Zhou asked again unwillingly, but the answer was the same. It seemed that there was nothing unusual. Thinking of this, Hong Zhou said dejectedly: "Fourth brother, let's go." After walking for a few steps, Hong Li didn't catch up.
, turned around strangely, only to see Hongli staring at a distant figure on the shore in trance, and couldn't help but asked strangely: "Fourth brother, what are you looking at, and who is that person?"
Hongli withdrew his gaze and said: "It was the person next to the second brother in the competition just now. I remember that he was the third person to hit the two balls of heaven and earth. As for which family he is from, I don't know for a while. Just now you asked the little eunuch
When I was walking, I accidentally found him watching us by the lake. As soon as he noticed that I was looking at him, he turned around and left. He didn't know the purpose of appearing here at this time."
"As long as Fourth Brother remembers his appearance, wouldn't it be clear to ask about him during lunch later? Fourth Brother thinks he is suspicious?"
"I'm not sure, but everyone else has left, but he is still here. I feel like something is wrong." He shook his head, looked at Hong Zhou and said, "Okay, let's ignore him for now and go and treat your injuries quickly."
, I promised Empress Yu that I would take good care of you, but if something goes wrong, I can't explain it to Empress Yu."
"It's just a minor injury. What could be wrong?" Even so, Hong Zhou obediently followed Hong Li to the imperial doctor's place. After examination, it was determined that there was nothing serious, just some flesh wounds, and it would be fine in a few days.
.
When they arrived at the spring scenery of Wuling, dozens of tables had been set up inside and outside, and many princes and wives were sitting inside talking. As for Yinzhen and his party, the banquet was inside.
Wuling has thousands of mountain peaches planted in spring. If you were here in spring, you would see peach blossoms all over the sky. Hongli and the others came all the way. When they passed a certain table, Hongli licked his lips and said softly: "Well, that's the one I just saw.
people."
Hong Zhou looked around and said with some surprise: "He is sitting next to Prince Lian. I heard that Prince Lian has two sons participating in this competition. He should be one of the others."
Hongli nodded calmly, "Well, let's go, go see Huang Ama first."
After they left, Hongchang's eyes flashed and he said in Yunhu's ear: "Amma, just now my son accidentally saw the fourth and fifth elder brothers sneaking to the ice lake. He was afraid that something would happen, so he followed them there. He didn't want to be caught by the fourth elder brother.
I discovered it. They looked at my son a few times when they came in. My son was worried..."
"What are you worried about? The ice beads have melted long ago and they can't find anything. Anyway, you should do as I said this afternoon, you know?"
"Yes, my son understands." Hongchang promised not to say anything, but Nalan Meier on the other side saw the father and son whispering to each other and chuckled: "What are you two father and son talking about? You look so mysterious."
Hongchang smiled slightly and said: "How can it be that Erchen and Ama were talking about the arrow that Brother Si shot away other arrows before? His archery skills are really amazing. Even Erchen, who is older than him, admires him very much.
.”
"The fourth elder brother is indeed good." Nalan Meier said this and did not ask any more questions. Instead, she asked Hongchang and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Let's say that Hongli and the others entered the house and saw Yinzhen talking to Nala. They hurriedly came forward to greet him. Yinzhen asked about Hongzhou's injury. After learning that it was not serious, he said happily: "Since there is nothing wrong, then
Just take your seat."
After the two thanked each other, they came to their seats and shared a table with Lingxi, his wife, Hongshi and Nala Lanling. Lingxi had not seen her two younger brothers for a long time, and they were very friendly. Unlike Hongshi, who was from both houses.
There were frequent contacts with the emperor, and they kept asking about the situation in the palace.
Wei Yuan listened for a while and couldn't help but laugh: "Princess, if you keep asking like this, are you going to ask how much they eat each meal and how many hours they sleep?"
Lingxi glanced at him with a smile and said, "You seem to think you think I ask too many questions?"
"I don't dare." Wei Yuan is a very gentle man, with a bookish air all over his body, which makes people easy to get close to. "I'm afraid that your two elder brothers will be annoyed by your questions."
Hongli hurriedly said: "How could it be possible? My sister asked like this because she cared about us." Although Lingxi married very early and rarely entered the palace, Hongli felt very kind to this sister.
The corner of Lingxi's mouth curled up slightly, and she said with a hint of pride: "Did you see that my two younger brothers are not as impatient as you?"
Wei Yuan smiled forgivingly, with tenderness in his eyes, "That's all, it's my fault, I hope the princess doesn't blame her."
Generally, when a princess gets married, due to the gap in status between them, the husband and wife can rarely be harmonious. Most of them treat each other with respect, and the husband and wife are as unfamiliar and polite as guests. This in itself is a kind of sadness.
Fortunately, Lingxi was not. After she married Wei Yuan, the couple had always been loving and harmonious. Even after Yinzhen ascended the throne and she was named Princess Heshuo, nothing changed.
Regarding Lingxi's move to get close to Hongli and the two, Hongshi showed disdain, while Nala Lanling showed no expression, as if everything in front of her had nothing to do with her, and she was just picking the bodhi seeds in her hand one by one.
.
After the banquet started, Yinzhen and Nala first had a drink with the family members in the harem, and then went outside together. Seeing Yinzhen leaving, Ling Ruo sighed slightly. With this departure, Yinzhen must
He will definitely feel very uncomfortable when he meets Nalan Meier and faces the woman he once or still loves so much.
Shui Xiu saw this and whispered: "Master, why are you sighing, but the food is not to your liking?"
"It's nothing." Seeing that Ling Ruo didn't say anything, Shui Xiu didn't dare to ask any more questions. She opened the first-grade sea cucumber cup that had been served for a while and said, "Master, please try this. I just saw that the other dishes in Qiangui's place were not that good."
Yes, only this cup of sea cucumber has been used up, it must taste very good."
Ling Ruo's eyes moved, and she raised her hand to cover the cup again. Under Shui Xiu's puzzled eyes, she said: "Since Mr. Qian likes it, I will send this cup to Mr. Qian. In addition, I will thank her for helping Hong just now."
History speaks."
Previously, when the victory between Hongli and Hongshi was indistinguishable, it was Liu who proposed that Yinzhen compete again to make a decision. Those words seemed fair, but upon closer inspection, they were biased in favor of Hongli, because with his
How could Hong Li's archery skills of Hong Shi's splitting arrows fail to hit a ball? Since she sold this favor, Ling Ruo naturally couldn't pretend not to know.
