When we returned to the palace, the song and dance was already halfway through, and Xuan Ling only looked drunk. I waved quietly and signaled Hua Yi to bring up a cup of green apricot soup. I held it to Xuan Ling with my own hands, and he took a sip from my hand.
He whispered: "Where have you been? It's been so long."
I smiled and said, "I just felt tired after changing my clothes. I sat in Songtaoxuan for a while before I came out. Unexpectedly, I saw the Sixth Prince and Concubine Yin hanging out in the cool air. They were so in love with each other. I was too embarrassed to disturb them, so I came out.
Came here in a hurry."
Xuan Ling nodded slightly and shook my hand under his sleeve, "Moge probably knew about the food and grass being burned, and told me to run out to relieve the smell of alcohol. I saw that he was holding his breath tightly." His tone was gentle.
It was like a gentle breeze blowing upward, "Huan Huan, thanks to you for reminding me, I was able to think that Wen Shichu had retained some of the poisonous blood of those who suffered from the epidemic back then, so that those barbarians could be infected with the epidemic."
I smiled quietly and said: "Your Majesty is wise, how can I know this? I am just talking too much. Your Majesty does not dislike my chattering, I feel very lucky."
Xuan Ling smiled warmly and said: "This is so pretentious. What kind of relationship do I have with you? You actually said this in front of me. Wait a minute..." He laughed "scoff" and said no more.
His voice was extremely low, but I felt even more embarrassed and said with a low smile: "Your Majesty is not afraid that Yun Rong will be jealous, so he teases his concubine like this."
"Yunrong has the temper of a child..." He raised his eyes and looked, but did not see Hu Yunrong. He waved his hands and said: "Maybe he went out with He He." Then he said to me: "You pay attention to what she said.
What's more, since Zhu Yixiu was grounded, her temper has gotten worse and worse."
I covered my mouth and smiled and said: "In Concubine Xin's words, sister Yunrong is the emperor's cousin. As a legitimate future queen, she should be more temperamental. Otherwise, how can we subdue the Sixth Palace?"
Xuan Ling frowned and said: "Concubine Xin always says whatever she thinks, so you should take her words seriously. With Yunrong's temperament, it's just right to be a charming concubine, or to be a queen..." He said with a serious face: "Don't say that.
The Queen Mother's death is left to you. If nothing else, there are the noble concubine, the virtuous concubine, and the chaste concubine. Why is it her turn?"
I hurriedly covered his mouth and said with a low smile: "If I were the imperial concubine, I would be angry. The imperial concubine is also a beauty. Why did she lose to sister Yunrong?"
I was joking with Xuan Ling, and when I looked over, I saw Moge and Xuan Qing drinking more than ten drinks.
Her elegant posture slipped away, as if she and he were intoxicated in the softness and beauty of Beijing's singing and dancing. A large bouquet of freshly folded jade lotus flowers was supported on the table with clear water. Yu Yin's beautiful face and the flower surface complemented each other, and the gentle and charming color was even more visible.
. She dipped white silk into water and gently wiped Xuan Qing's face. This ordinary movement seemed particularly delicate and considerate under her hands. I sighed, Yu Yin really loved Xuan Qing, but...
The sigh in my heart has not stopped, Xuan Ling stroked his chin with a playful smile, his eyes also stopped on Xuan Qing and Yu Yin, he smiled at me, "Huan Bi is really good to Lao Liu, I am dear to you."
A rare loving couple."
I said lightly, "Your Majesty, this is my concubine's second sister Yu Yin, not Huan Bi."
He smiled and said, "I always feel that she is still the little maid who is always with you."
Xuan Qing was already half-drunk, but Moge across from him was clear-headed. He smiled at Xuan Ling and said: "The songs and dances of Dazhou are so soft and soft that they turn people's bones into drunkenness. They are not like the powerful and soft dances.
A daughter’s family is the same as a boy’s.”
Xuan Ling clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, okay! I just wanted to watch the dance of Hehe, and Khan made a great suggestion."
Moge waved his hand and said loudly: "You will get tired of watching too many songs and dances. I have a gift for the Emperor of Zhou today, but please accept it."
Xuan Ling asked: "I heard it was a bear?"
Moge narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a faint smile: "They are ordinary beasts in the Hehe Mountain. The emperor just keeps them for fun."
He high-fived three times, and heard silence all around him, except for the sound of small iron wheels, approaching heavily.
As far as the eye could see, there was an unremarkable yellow-white beast trapped in an iron cage. As he got closer, he could see clearly that the beast was very similar to the black bear kept in the palace's animal garden. It only had posture and facial features.
Some of them look like humans, with yellow and white fur all over their bodies, longer necks, stronger limbs and bodies, and a ferocious look in their eyes, which is very scary.
Yurun could only speak when she was young, so she was a little scared. She held my skirt and said repeatedly: "Bear! Bear!" But Yuhan was just curious. She raised her head and stared intently. The long moon was in the arms of Concubine De.
Lingxi didn't care, he just focused on holding a lychee and slowly peeling it and eating it. Looking at the four children's reactions, I was just surprised that Lingxi had such a calm and cold temperament. I didn't know who he looked like.
Moge smiled slightly, pointed at the bear and said: "This bear is ferocious and cruel, and has great strength. It can pull up a tree as big as one person. If it encounters people, it will stand up and chase after people.
Because of its human-like posture and facial features, it is fierce and powerful, and can snatch cattle and horses for food, so it is also called the 'man-bear'. Once a hunter saw a man-bear crossing a river in the mountains, and lurked to peek. What was crossing the river was a huge one.
The mother bear was carrying two little man bears. The mother bear first put a cub on her head to cross the river. After swimming ashore, she was afraid that the little man bears would run around, so she used a big stone to hold down the cub.
The mother bear fell back to pick up another cub. The lurking hunter took this opportunity to capture the little man bear who was pressed by the stone. The mother bear was furious and pulled the legs of the other cub on the other side of the river.
Tear it in two. His nature is both fierce and stupid, which can be seen from this." As Moge said this, he heard the man-bear growl, like muffled thunder, as if to confirm his words. Moge leisurely
Leaning on the soft chair, seeing most of the concubines and attendants behind Xuan Ling showing fear, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to panic."
Xuan Ling's expression did not change, but he asked with interest: "As Khan said, it is indeed a strange beast, very rare. Since the man-bear is so ferocious, I wonder how Khan can hunt it?"
Moge smiled and said: "A casual hunter would not dare to provoke a human bear, let alone make up his mind to hunt a bear. However, it is not impossible to catch a human bear, but the risk is extremely high. If something goes wrong accidentally, he will die.
Because the human bear is fat and strong, with rough skin and thick flesh, even if a knife or gun penetrates the chest and abdomen, and blood flows out of the intestines, it can still dig out the soil and rosin to plug the wound, and then fight to injure the person to death, so it is absolutely difficult to take it.
As the Chinese saying goes, "When a strong man is strong, he will be outsmarted, and when a weak man is captured alive," the only way to hunt a man-bear is to outsmart him. Man-bears like to use tree holes in thousand-year-old trees as burrows. The empty tree holes are fumigated with heat and the ice and snow melt.
When the man-bear is full, he will sit in it. When the hunters find the bear's cave, they will throw pieces of wood from the tree hole. The man-bear is stupid. When he sees a piece of wood falling, he will reach out to catch it, sit under his buttocks, and follow the wood.
More and more blocks were thrown in, and the man-bear picked them up and sat on them higher and higher. When the position where the man-bear sat was parallel to the entrance of the tree hole, the hunters saw the opportunity and violently chopped off his head with a mountain ax, or from the
He stabbed them with spears in the cracks of the ancient trees." He smiled slightly, with a complex meaning in his eyes, "There are many bears in the Hehe Mountains, and the Hehe people never capture these beasts with intelligence rather than force. The people are brave and resourceful.
, I am also very pleased."
Xuan Ling smiled faintly, but did not answer the question and said: "How about the illustrious rare animal elk I gave you last time?"
Moge shook his head and said: "It's too docile. It doesn't have any ferocity at all. It can't stand the strong wind and sand. Now it's skinny and bones, but it's still alive at least."
Xuan Ling smiled and said: "This thing is gentle and auspicious. It has been raised by the Khan until it is skinny and bones. It will inevitably damage the auspiciousness and hurt people."
Moge's hand on the case slowly clenched into a fist, and he still had that faint smile on his face, "I only believe that everything depends on man-made things, and harmony or auspiciousness. As long as I want it, I can definitely catch it myself."
arrive."
Xuan Ling laughed it off and said nonchalantly: "I hope so." He waved to Xiaoxiazi to come forward and "feed that bear some meat."
After receiving the order, Xiaoxiazi was timid and did not dare to get very close, so he picked up wild boar meat on a bamboo pole and brought it to the bear. When the bear saw the fresh meat, there was no one he didn't like, so he stretched out his palms to catch it.
Xiao Xiazi suddenly retracted his hand, and Xiong Zhi jumped into the air. He was so anxious that he grabbed his cheeks and kept spinning. When the concubines saw such a giant creature doing such a thing, they couldn't help but find it cute and funny. Xiao Xiazi saw this,
Furthermore, he wanted to make everyone laugh, so he tried to seduce and dodge in every possible way, causing Xiong Zhi to look at it but not eat it. He scratched his ears and cheeks, sat down on the ground and slapped the ground with his palms. Moge stopped talking, smiled and finally ignored him.
Concubine Zhen had always been peaceful and steady, so she hugged Yu Pei and said, "That's it, that's it! We'll forget about it after teasing the bear until she's angry."
But I heard a cold voice and a bell-like smile, "Concubine Zhen is so timid! No wonder His Highness the Second Highness is also timid and doesn't know what to do." I turned around to look, and it was Hu Yunrong holding He Hu.
Came in. Hehe changed into a bright red pomegranate ball and Fu Lingzi's clothes, which made him look even more bright and lovely among the emperors and concubines. Yunrong was blessed and said to Xuan Ling: "Zhenxu was naughty just now and drank all over her body. I brought her
She went to change her clothes."
Xuan Ling said "Hmm", "Just change your clothes, and then you pointed at Concubine Zhen and Pei'er and said something!"
He He stared curiously at Xiong Yan's annoyed look, and smiled happily, saying repeatedly: "Mother, concubine, I want to see that bear!" Yunrong just smiled and asked, "Are Zhen Xian afraid?"
Hehe shook his head desperately and leaned out of Yunrong's arms, "I'm going to feed Rourou."
Hearing the noise, Xiaoxiazi hurriedly hung a piece of meat on a bamboo pole and sent it over. He He didn't even look at it. He stretched out his hand to grab it, and carried Yunrong to about ten steps away from the animal cage. He threw the meat away with all his strength.
Although the child was not very strong, the meat hit the man-bear's eyes without any bias. The man-bear was startled by the pain, turned around, picked up the meat and tore it apart easily.
Break it into pieces and swallow it in one gulp.
Yunrong glanced at Concubine Zhen intentionally or unintentionally, and smiled proudly: "Your Majesty, our child is much braver, and he still retains his status as a golden branch and a jade leaf!"
He He chuckled loudly, clapped his hands vigorously, and everyone laughed in agreement, praising the Emperor He He. Xuan Ling said with a smile: "Come back soon, girls play with wild beasts so much." He He.
Grinning, just making faces at the man-bear.
The man-bear thought he was in pain, and his eyes gradually turned red. When he saw He He dressed in red and making faces at it, he became even more angry. He banged his palms on the ground, making loud noises. Everyone saw their claws and claws.
Da, who didn't take it seriously, suddenly heard a loud "Gah——" sound, and the iron cage was suddenly torn open by the angry man-bear. The man-bear dragged his heavy body and roared again and again, and ran towards Hehe.
In front of Hemu, there was an iron threshold blocking him. The man-bear clung to the threshold with his front two paws, intending to turn over and climb in. Hemu was so frightened that he couldn't even cry with his eyes wide open. Yunrong didn't know what to do.
Yes, he didn't know how to move away for a moment, he just hugged He He tightly in a daze, and his face turned pale with fright. Xiaoxiazi was following beside him, and he was speechless for a while, his two legs trembling, and he tried very hard to get it.
He stretched out his hand to grab Yunrong and yelled with all his strength, "Mom, run away!" Hu Yunrong knew that it was important to escape, so she shouted sharply, and when the human bear climbed over the iron threshold, the golden lotus flew and the green train was dragged around.
Half leaning and half falling, he hugged He He and ran towards Xuan Ling's throne with all his strength. The Yu Lin army in the palace had never seen such a scene before. They only heard the roar of the man and the bear, and they didn't know what to do. The people on both sides of Xuan Ling's throne
When the concubines and concubines saw the bear walking towards them, they were all frightened to the point of flying away. They scrambled to flee back. I didn’t know what to do because of the sudden incident, so I had to hug Lingxi.
, Yu Han and Yu Run stepped back. Unexpectedly, there was a chaotic crowd behind them, and they didn't know where to retreat. There were so many people, and Yu Run was young and his steps were small. In the chaos, he suddenly fell to the ground and cried loudly.
.The man-bear was chasing He He and was already a little closer to me and the child. Suddenly he heard the child's clear cry. He was stunned for a moment and then started to walk towards Yu Run. Yu Han was curled up in my arms, and when I saw him
Yurun fell down and hurriedly shouted: "Mother, my brother has fallen!"
If I leave Yurun behind, I can hug Lingxi and Yuhan and run away. If I want to hug Yurun back, I'm afraid even Yuhan and Lingxi will be implicated. In just a moment, countless thoughts flashed through my mind.
The thought made my heart so troubled that I almost burst into tears. I caught a glimpse of Yurun crying, her face flushed, and she stretched out her hands and cried non-stop towards me. I felt my heart aching, and I grabbed Yuhan and Lingxi without thinking.
Pushing into Concubine De's arms, I got up and ran to Yurun's side, protecting his young body. In the chaos, I didn't know who stepped on the skirt of my skirt, and I fell to the ground suddenly. I felt a terrible pain in my ankle. I climbed up again.
I couldn't get up, so I hurriedly protected Yurun with my body. There were all the concubines who couldn't restrain the chicken beside me. Only Xuanling was a little closer to me. I couldn't care about myself, so I hurriedly asked Xuanling for help, "Your Majesty, please hug me, Your Majesty."
"Zou Run'er——" Xuan Ling was about to stand up when he saw the huge yellowish figure getting closer and closer. He hesitated a little. Yun Rong grabbed Xuan Ling and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, the All Saints, how can you
You can put yourself in danger!" She glanced at me and shouted: "I heard that if a bear eats a person, it will not hurt anyone again. Concubine Shu is protecting the emperor, so she should devote her life to protect him——"
Xuan Ling was immediately furious, "You're talking nonsense, how can you hurt Concubine Shu!" He shrank back, stretched his neck and called out: "Where is the Yulin Army, please save Concubine Shu!"
