The attendants untied the prey from the horse and presented them to the emperor one after another. In a short time, all kinds of prey piled up into hills.
Looking at so many prey, the emperor Longyan was very happy. He twisted his beard and said with a smile: "good, very good. As expected, they are all my good sons!"
Even among so many princes and grandchildren, Yu Linglong still saw King Xu at the first sight. He was dressed in a white robe, and his silver Phoenix wing crown was shining in the sun. He was spotless among a group of sweaty men. Even if he was sitting on a horse, he looked leisurely, as if he had just returned from a walk.
Yu Linglong smiles. It seems that the boy is cheating again today. Everyone works so hard to stand out in front of the emperor. However, King Xu is idle and leisurely, and seems to be at peace with the world.
With her eyes down, she suddenly wanted to know what he was afraid of. He took great pains to cover up his identity, but did not want anyone to know his real intention?
Looking up a circle of princes standing on the ground, Yu Linglong guessed that the man King Xu wanted to hide must be in these people.
At this time, a man dressed in a royal blue elastic and ink brocade robe stepped forward and said to the emperor, "father, my son has caught a bear and dedicated it to my father. I wish my father a long and lasting River and mountain."
Then he beckoned back and motioned for his entourage to carry the bear up.
At the banquet, someone yelled: "did king Ding hunt a bear? It's amazing! "
"It's said that bear is very fierce. King Ding's courage and insight are excellent."
Hearing all the people's comments, Ding Wang stood on the ground with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Looking at the bear that can only be carried in by five or six people, jade Linglong feels funny.
This time has not yet bloomed in spring, the bear should still be in hibernation, how can they wander around, but also happened to bump into the hands of King Ding?
I'm afraid that someone prepared ahead of time and intended to help king Ding do meritorious deeds in front of the emperor?
It's not hard to think of this truth, but no one will spoil the emperor's pleasure or offend the king Ding at this moment, and they all pretend to be confused.
When he saw the bear, the emperor was very happy. He praised him very much. He also ordered people to take the gold cup for the emperor's use and specially rewarded King Ding with a cup of wine.
Seeing that King Ding was so honored, other princes and sons were not willing to be outdone, and they all went forward to ask for merit and reward: "report to my father, my son's minister has hunted a bobcat."
"I have two wild boars here!"
"This is the black fox caught by the son Chen..."
Seeing such a wide range of prey, the emperor kept pinching his beard and smiling, obviously in a good mood.
The king of Zhou, the seventh prince, looked at the king Xu, who was smiling and speechless all the time. He couldn't help but cry out: "what have you caught, nine younger brother? Why don't you take it out and let the emperor have a look?"
The sixth Prince of Qi also said with a smile: "yes, the ninth brother grew up in Shangyuan, and his riding and shooting skills must be excellent. It will certainly open our eyes."
The two brothers sing in unison. On the surface, they look like a group of brothers. However, Yu Linglong can hear the insidiousness and ridicule.
Seeing that the emperor turned his eyes to himself, King Xu threw his whip to his entourage and dusted the dust that did not exist on the robe. Then he said with a smile: "tell my father, my son's minister has hunted a hare."
"Ha ha ha --" a burst of ridicule suddenly burst out, of which Ding Wang was the most cheerful one.
He pointed to the lonely rabbit by the saddle of King Xu, and he almost couldn't breathe with laughter: "brother Jiu, you'll catch a rabbit in this long time?"
Ignoring Ding Wang's sarcastic laughter, King Xu patted his mount with a look of love: "this is a jade top, and it's rare. The road in the mountain is uneven. If you run fast, you'll break your horse's hoof."
After that, he specially called the attendants, and said, "take it back and wash it well. Remember to check the horse's hooves. If there are small stones, you should pick them out and don't hurt their hooves."
Seeing that he was so precious to the horse, other people's faces showed disdain. Some of the women's wives sneered in a low voice: "after all, it's from a poor place. Even a horse is so precious."
Jade Linglong pink lips a sip, sharp eyes immediately swept the past, the speaker was staring at her eyes, subconsciously lowered his head.
At this time, the emperor's side suddenly sounded a delicate voice: "I don't know what the prince's highness can gain?"
With this sound, people's eyes immediately cast to the apricot yellow figure in the crowd, jade Linglong is no exception.
It was the first time she had seen the prince.
The prince is about 30 years old. He is dressed in apricot yellow robe. He is embroidered with four claw gold dragon on his chest and purple gold dragon bead crown on his head. He is tall and has a white jade face. Although his eyebrows and eyes are very gentle, he still can not hide his dignity.
It was Princess Wu Zhao who was talking just now. At this moment, she seemed to see the small pile of pheasants and rabbits in front of the prince. She could not help but pretend to cover her mouth and said with a smile, "Your Highness is really very skillful. It's good to hunt these things."That said, the contempt in the words is self-evident.
One side of Ding Wang glanced at the prey in front of the prince, turned his mouth contemptuously and said, "is it the prince who studies too much all day and has no time to practice riding and shooting?"
The prince laughed faintly. He didn't seem to care. He said mildly, "the second younger brother won the first prize in this hunt."
Ding Wang's face raised a triumphant smile, and even refused to say the word "chengrang". He just arched his hand, which was obviously self satisfied.
But suddenly came a calm voice: "father emperor, please allow children minister to say a few words."
The third prince, King Lu, was wearing a dark blue robe.
Emperor Longmei a pick, way: "what do you say?"
Lu Wang Lang said: "in today's hunting, the son minister has always been with the prince's elder brother. The prince's elder brother is not inferior in skills, but he has a benevolent heart. Every time he sees a mother with a small beast, he orders his men not to shoot arrows to avoid accidental injury. It is easy to hunt a female deer, but he finds that it is pregnant. The prince's elder brother orders people to pull out arrow clusters for the female deer and wrap the wound for good health It took a long time to put it back into the forest... "
The prince frowned slightly and said, "third brother!"
King Lu turned to him and said, "big brother, the head of hunting is small, but big brother is so kind and merciful that he can't bear to hurt a female deer, but he is willing to be despised for this. How can I watch people misunderstand elder brother and not make a confession for him?"
The king of Lu's words were fierce and sincere. The people could not help nodding and murmuring about the prince's benevolence and virtue.
