One after another, the prey fell to the ground under the bow and arrow.
Xiaotong, who was also dressed in riding attire, clapped her hands happily: "Young Master is great!"
Yang Shu lazily threw the long bow to Ah Xuan and said, "It's either a stupid rabbit or a stupid roe deer. It's not interesting at all. Just fight."
The generals were accustomed to this young master's character, so they left a few guards behind and spread out to chase the prey.
"Awan, I want to drink tea!"
So, the guards spread out felt blankets on the spot, set up cushions, and moved down the stove.
Yang Shu added: "I'm a little hungry. Let's roast a rabbit."
Xiaotong raised her hands happily: "I'll do it, I'll do it! I just brought the sauce!"
The guards who had just finished their work went to pick up prey and went to the stream to skin and clean it.
Xiaotong followed, leaving only Ah Xuan to guard and Ah Wan to make tea.
Yang Shu leaned on the cushion and whispered: "My Majesty, you must make an engagement for me this time. Do you think which family has he chosen?"
Ah Wan raised her head and glanced at him, and said with a bit of disgust: "It must be the Lu family. Madam Prince asked her several times, and last time she followed Madam Hou into the palace. Huh! I didn't even look at what her family was like.
, I also want to give it to the young master."
Yang Shu smiled and said, "How can the Lu family like me? My eldest sister-in-law is just a younger sister of the right age, and she won't let her go. I'm afraid she's a relative of hers who might be willing to marry her for the sake of money.
." As he spoke, he touched his chin and said, "Maybe they are her aunts and cousins from the Liang family."
Ah Wan raised her eyebrows and said, "From top to bottom, the Liang family doesn't even have an official position. How dare you think of a young master by relying on a fifth-grade captain to eat and wait for death?"
Yang Shu smiled and said: "In her eyes, I am just a bastard. I am not qualified to live in Bolinghou Mansion. It would be good if a fifth-grade captain is willing to marry me. Well, maybe she also thinks that her cousin is the elder
Du, you don’t care about my wife’s life!”
Ah Xuan thought for a while and said: "This is really something that the Crown Prince's wife can do. Moreover, she frequently returned to her parents' home a while ago and had several contacts with the Liang family."
Yang Shu touched his palm: "Then there is no need to run away."
Ah Xuan added: "But the imperial concubine may not be willing. Even if she doesn't care about family status, the Liang family's family tradition is outrageous. I feel that the imperial concubine may want to ask the young master to marry the Pei family."
The Pei family is the natal family of the imperial concubine, and also the ancestral family of Yang Shu.
In terms of family status, the Pei family is not low. The famous family that has lasted for more than a hundred years is, in some respects, even more honorable than the royal family. At the time, Emperor Taizu personally proposed to marry the Pei family's daughter for his eldest grandson.
Nowadays, many nephews and nephews of the Pei family are serving as officials in the court, and their prestige is still the same as before. However, their attitudes towards Concubine Pei and Yang Shu are very subtle.
The emperor wanted to make Concubine Pei his queen several times, but the Pei family all pretended to be deaf and dumb. They were not very warm to Yang Shu, their grandson, and had little contact with her.
Ah Wan said: "If it were the Pei family, it would be more or less the same."
Yang Shu sneered: "Unfortunately, this is impossible."
"Why?" Ah Wan was puzzled.
"Because, the Holy One has different ideas from the imperial concubine this time." His eyes darkened, "I think he wants to make Pei's daughter the crown princess."
Yang Shu felt that he was really blind before. He always felt that the emperor treated him better than the prince, but he never thought about the difference.
He was strict with the prince, and it was all business. Wasn't it to cultivate the prince's ability to govern the country? Look at the officials in the East Palace, who is not talented? When it comes to selecting concubines, it is natural to leave the best for the prince.
And what about him? He is usually very pampered. He is asked to pick out all the delicious and fun things first. No matter what he does, he protects her in every possible way. Such indulgence is nothing but flattery.
Now he and the prince are both getting wives, and the difference can be seen at a glance.
He is really not of the emperor's blood.
This conclusion made him both happy and sad.
Ah Xuan said calmly: "It's a pity that the prince fell in love with the Lu family and failed the emperor's hard work."
Yang Shu didn't want to mention that idiot. Whoever he married had nothing to do with him. What he cared about now was how to stir up trouble.
After pondering for a while, Yang Shu said: "Go and check the location of King An."
Prince An is the title given to the third prince. He is seventeen this year. In addition to choosing a step-concubine for the prince, he also has to settle his marriage.
Ah Xuan was startled and lowered his voice: "Master! You can't offend Prince An anymore."
The emperor's three adult princes, the prince had offended him in the early years, and King Xin and the prince vented their anger. King An also had a lot of friction when they were young because they were about the same age. However, Yang Shu later kept his filial piety and stayed behind closed doors, and then
Then he took over the Imperial City Division, and the relationship between the two of them eased as they had less contact.
In Ah Xuan's view, easing the relationship with the prince is troublesome enough. If he still offends Prince An, it will be difficult to get over it in the future?
Yang Shu said coldly: "If you want to offend me and not make me feel better, then everyone will have a hard time together!"
…
The girls' laughter echoed in the wilderness, and the light fell at the end. They were free to listen to their words.
"Quick, quick, surround us over there!"
"Over there, don't let me run away!"
"Oh, let's spread out a little bit, so it's hard to chase them."
"That's just mine, don't steal it!"
Mingwei suddenly felt something and turned his head to look in one direction.
A fat deer emerged from the bushes and ran into their circle innocently.
Wei Xiaoan cheered: "Deer! I want to shoot it!"
Fang Jinping was not to be outdone: "I want it too!"
"Whoever cums is his."
"Okay! Who's afraid of whom?"
The two girls chased him on horseback, and soon ran away.
Soon, Wei Xiaoan shouted, and then there was a "plop" sound of falling to the ground.
The generals of the Wei family were frightened and hurriedly chased after him.
Ming Wei and Sun Wei also rode over.
"Miss!"
"What are you doing?"
"This is my deer!"
"Presumptuous, this is His Royal Highness Prince An!"
When Mingwei arrived, what he saw was Wei Xiaoan being helped up by a maid, and the guards who used to wear bright armor.
She went to see Wei Xiao'an first, and was relieved when she saw that she was rubbing her leg without a very painful expression on her face.
Looking at the other party again, the person surrounded by the guards was a young man wearing a riding costume and a crown.
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, with a delicate face and a few freckles on her cheeks, she still looks childish.
His expression was a bit arrogant, but not excessive.
Mingwei frowned.
King An, the third prince, the future Emperor Ling, was the initiator of the ruin of the Northern Qi Dynasty!
When she came to the capital, she didn't think about meeting Prince An. Anyway, she had eliminated this man from the list of emperors. Now that she saw him, she didn't think there was anything special about him.
Yes, he is just an ordinary prince now. His mother's identity is not obvious. He was adopted by the Concubine Xian in his early years. Later, the Concubine Xian passed away, and he became even more inconspicuous.
With the Crown Prince and Prince Xin here, who would care about him being an idle king who wants nothing? However, he is the one who laughs in the end.
