The Submissive Emperor
Chapter 18: Shooting Goose
The palace is located on the south side of the mountain.
Jingyi Mountain is not large, and the flat land excavated is not enough to build the entire palace. Therefore, the palace’s palaces are all built on the hill, scattered up and down, which is very interesting.
The crown prince’s residence was named Ganquan Temple, which was named after a spring of the mountain. There is a tall maple tree in front of the temple, with luxuriant branches, covering the sky and the sun. The leaves on the tree have all turned into color at this time, with a little withered yellow in the bright red, moving with the rustling of the mountain wind.
In order to enjoy the scenery, the palace does not sweep the fallen leaves during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The clear spring gurgled out from the cracks in the rocks, and merged into a clear stream by itself, flowing along the mountain. The maple leaves fall in the water, layered on top of each other, clearly visible.
"People say that the maple tree is the Yellow Emperor's weapon. It cuts Chiyou and makes it red." Lou Jing caught a fallen leaf on the bluestone path covered with red leaves and played with it.
"Even though Chi You is dead, Jiu Li is immortal, a hundred waste is waiting for prosperity." Xiao Chengjun stood beside him, looking at the high maple tree, above the maple tree, the sky is high and the clouds are wide, and the northern geese fly south.
The Yellow Emperor's killing of Chi You is a legend in ancient times. The Yellow Emperor's tribe and Chi You's tribe Jiuli fought fiercely. The Yellow Emperor beheaded Chi You, his weapon was stained with Chi You's blood and turned into a maple tree. What Xiao Chengjun said was that Chi You was dead, the tribe of Jiuli is still there, the world is still unstable, and there is still much to do.
Lou Jing walked over, took the hand of His Royal Highness, and put the maple leaf in his palm, "Stealing for a long time, don't think about those troubles."
Xiao Chengjun looked down at the red leaves in his palms, and smiled slightly, "I'm the one who is disgusting."
"Isn't it?" Lou Jing smiled and held his hand. "Beijing geese fly south. It's a good time to play game. Come, let's go find Zhang Gong."
"Playing game..." Xiao Chengjun reluctantly let him take him to go out. With such a beautiful scenery, this person wanted to shoot birds and eat meat. It was really unbelievable.
The palace was naturally equipped with bows and arrows, and Lou Jing excitedly took the Prince's Palace down to shoot the wild goose.
"You have injuries on your body, it's better not to move." Xiao Chengjun frowned when looking at the longbow in the hands of the princess.
"It doesn't matter if you hurt your leg." Lou Jing climbed onto a huge stone-hewn platform, and the group of geese fluttering towards the sky, easily pulled away the Sanjun bow in his hand.
Thirty catties is one jun, Lou Jing is pulling the Sanjun bow, like pulling a slingshot effortlessly, Xiao Chengjun watched this scene, and finally understood what kind of powerful inner family practice is.
Le Xian, who was holding the quiver, had to climb up the high platform and handed the quiver to the place where the princess could reach as soon as the princess reached out, waiting for him to miss a hit before drawing.
The bow was bent like a full moon, and the tip of the arrow pointed to the sky. Listening to the tight sound of the bowstring of the beef tendon, Le Xian also clenched the quiver in his hand. With a "swish", the sharp arrow left the string, turning into a black light, and shooting straight at the geese.
Everyone held their breath and looked at the cloud. Before they could see clearly, there was already a wailing in the air, and the last of the geese in the shape of "people" fell straight down.
"Shot, hit!" Le Xian exclaimed happily.
"Good arrow technique!" Xiao Chengjun couldn't help but exclaimed.
The guard behind him immediately ran towards the direction where the geese fell, but unexpectedly the geese fell into the air and fluttered obliquely, struggling to fall outside the palace.
The guards had to mount their horses to pick up the geese, so as not to be caught by the beasts up the mountain.
"I'll be roasting in a while, Your Royal Highness can **** craft." Lou Jing smiled and threw the bow to Le Xian, jumped off the stone and embraced His Royal Highness.
Xiao Chengjun looked at him quietly, "The injury of the princess concubine seems to be better."
Lou Jing froze for a moment, and then made a horrible secret message. Only then did he get overwhelmed and jumped directly from the one-foot-high stone platform to let the prince see that his injury was healed. Isn't it that he can no longer hold the prince on horseback? Did he lie down on His Royal Highness because of leg pain? Thinking of this, Lou Jing immediately grabbed the prince's husband's shoulder and hung it on his body, "It's not all well, but it doesn't hinder walking."
The prince glanced at the guy who was hanging on him, and whispered: "Hurry up and stand up, so many people are watching."
Before Lou Jing could say anything, the guard who went to pick up the wild goose ran back on a fast horse, "Knowing the prince, the princess, the wild goose fell in the Changchun Pavilion, and the younger one did not dare to venture in."
When Xiao Chengjun heard the words, the smile on his lips gradually faded.
"Changchun Pavilion? Where is that?" Lou Jing was still hanging on the prince, tilting his head and asked him.
Xiao Chengjun sighed, "No matter, I and the princess go in for a look, you don't have to follow."
"Yes!" everyone bowed.
"Let's go." Xiao Chengjun tore off the brown candy from his body and pulled him to the direction where the wild goose fell.
The Changchun Pavilion is not in the palace. After going out the west gate of the palace, passing through a small bamboo forest, you can see a courtyard with white walls and gray tiles, as if you are in the south of the Yangtze River.
"I wanted to bring you here tomorrow." Xiao Chengjun waved his hand to make the guards and eunuchs stand outside the bamboo forest, only brought the princess to the front, and slowly knocked on the door.
Not long after, the black painted door creaked and opened a crack. In the door, an old man in his fifties leaned out half of his body. When he could see the person outside, he immediately opened the door and bowed to his knees. "See Your Royal Highness."
"Is your prince awake?" Xiao Chengjun waved his hand to let the old man get up.
"Awake," the old man said respectfully, standing with his hands down, "His Royal Highness, please."
Lou Jing raised his eyebrows, Lord? Emperor Chunde's brother is gone, and the only one who can live next to the palace is Xiao Chengjin, the second prince who has never been exposed.
"Cheng Jin is in poor health. He is recovering here all the year round. This time I came to Jingyishan to let you see him." Xiao Chengjun held Lou Jing's hand tightly. Since stepping into this courtyard, his hand has been A little tight.
Lou Jing noticed that when Xiao Chengjun mentioned the second emperor, he was talking about "Chengjin", not "the second emperor's brother."
"This yard is warm like spring, there must be hot springs, right?" Lou Jing squeezed the palm of his hand to relax him.
Regarding the second prince, it has always been a mystery to the people in Beijing, and few people mention him. It is said that he was appointed king very early and went out of the palace to build a mansion, but for so many years, let alone participating in government affairs, he never even attended the annual palace banquet. There are even rumors that the second prince has died long ago, but the emperor is sad and is not allowed to be mentioned.
Xiao Chengjun took a deep breath and relaxed a little, "Cheng Jin is afraid of the cold and can only live here all year round."
After passing through several pavilions, into a hall, the back of the hall is filled with smoke, and it should be a hot spring.
"The concubine has seen His Royal Highness." A woman in a plain silk dress brought several girls forward to salute. The girls all knelt on the ground, and the woman put her hands on her waist.
"Brothers and sisters don't need to be polite," Xiao Chengjun raised his hand and gave a false help. "I will bring the prince to see Chengjin."
After that, he introduced Lou Jing, the wife of the second prince, the princess Zhang.
"I have seen the princess." Zhang's dress was lightly plain, only wearing a pair of silver phoenix hairpins on his head. A thin silver chain pendant attached to a white opal hung in front of his forehead, with a dignified and elegant face. , Can not help but make people feel good.
Lou Jing returned the gift, and Zhang led them to the inner courtyard. She spoke softly and couldn't hear her if she didn't listen carefully. "The prince has improved a lot in the past few days. Yesterday, he asked his Highness how to pay for it. Don't come to see him."
Lou Jing felt that the hand he was holding was completely relaxed because of these words. He looked up, and a little smile appeared in the eyes of His Royal Highness, and he understood that the two princes were afraid of being different in Xiao Chengjun's heart. generally. Thinking like this, it is inevitable to be a little curious about what kind of character it is that will make Tai Shan collapse in front of His Royal Highness, who will not change his face, so concerned.
Crossing a stone bridge is a stone pavilion, and under the pavilion is a hot spring with steaming mist. A soft couch was placed on the water pavilion, and a man in a plain robe was leaning on the couch under a thin blanket, smiling at the people coming.
"The housekeeper said that a goose with an arrow fell into the courtyard. I guessed that the prince brother came to see me." The person on the bed was Xiao Chengjin. He hadn't seen his appearance clearly, and the warm words had already passed through. The mist passed over.
"I can't hide it from you." Xiao Chengjun took the princess forward and sat down on the stool next to the soft couch.
Zhang greeted the maid and poured the tea, so he avoided politely in the pavilion next to the water pavilion.
When the two royal brothers met, they didn't have any etiquette, as if they were brothers from ordinary people. Lou Jing was slightly surprised and looked at Xiao Chengjin's face.
Xu was lingering on the bed for many years. Xiao Chengjin looked very thin, and his eyebrows were seven to eighths like Xiao Chengjun, but he was much softer in comparison, his complexion was pale, his features were delicate, and his dark eyes were as deep as an ancient well, as if Can see through the world in general, with a bit of bleakness.
"His Royal Highness Jing is somewhat similar to the prince." Lou Jing also went to the countryside and spoke without courtesy, but in the face of such a sick prince, he couldn't help lowering his voice for fear of disturbing him.
The second prince's title is "Jing", perhaps because it meant for him to calm his body.
"My brother and I are the same mother and concubine, so naturally they are similar," Xiao Chengjin seemed to be pleased with Lou Jing's words, and a little smile appeared in his calm eyes. "Doesn't the sister-in-law know?"
Lou Jing was startled and turned to look at Xiao Chengjun. Are they the same concubine? Why have never heard of it before.
Xiao Chengjun also looked over with feeling, and nodded slightly.
"Brother came to Jingyi Mountain, but what happened to Chaozhong?" Xiao Chengjin couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the two look at each other.
"Qinghe broke its dyke, and someone impeached me because I was greedy for building silver, so I came to avoid the limelight," Xiao Chengjun said plainly and clearly, obviously not intending to say more about it, "Rui'er has been three months old, right?"
"Go and hug the little prince," Xiao Chengjin didn't intend to let his brother divert the subject, and simply ordered the maid to hug the child. "He is anxious to let you get married. This is what he must have done, even if you avoid going to the horizon. , The one who should come is always coming...cough cough..." Before finishing speaking, he coughed lightly.
Lou Jing couldn't help but secretly startled as he listened to the conversation between the two brothers. Just now, Xiao Chengjin thought he was ridiculing when he talked about the wild goose. Now it seems that this prince is really clever and unusual, and he can tell the whole story with just a few words.
"I will take care of the affairs of the court. Don't worry about it." Xiao Chengjun frowned and pulled up the blanket to cover him tightly.
