Wishful Things

Hearing the knock on the door, Ji Wanyou hastily wiped the tears off her face with a handkerchief.

Ji Xiu said "Come in".

The door was pushed open, a young man entered the room and closed the door.

"I heard that your lord was injured?"

Ji Xiu glanced at him, but didn't answer.

After all, the wound on his face was enough to answer the obvious question instead of him.

"Father was injured by Lord Zhen." Ji Wanyou looked at the person, there was still anger in her red eyes, but when she looked at the person she liked, most of the anger turned into grievance: "Father can't tell His Majesty yet, he can only swallow this matter."

"Duke Zhen?"

The man frowned slightly, and his tone was more helpless: "This person has never been decent in his work."

"I'll write this account down for him for the time being!" Ji Xiu said in a deep voice, "After I get rid of that old thief Xia Tingzhen first, and free up my hands, I can vent my anger like today."

"It is indeed inappropriate to start a dispute with Lord Zhen Guo right now. Your Excellency is wise to consider this."

"Xia Tingzhen fell ill this time, and I wanted to take advantage of the spring hunt to gain more opportunities in front of Your Majesty, but I was disturbed by the mad dog of Lord Zhen!" Ji Xiu looked at the young man, "I came here for this purpose—"

He wants to discuss with the other party to discuss whether there is any remedy.

He gradually realized that this person's best strategy was to guess people's hearts.

He had clearly never met the current emperor before, but he offered advice several times, but it seemed that they were all aimed at what the emperor wanted in his heart-to put it bluntly, he was born to be a courtier.

But this is exactly what he lacks the most. Otherwise, he wouldn't be holding the best cards, but being forced to this point by Xia Tingzhen, a slanderous official who could get to where he is today with just a word of mouth.

Seeing that the two wanted to talk about serious matters, Ji Wanyou avoided it in a timely manner and retreated.

Before leaving the room, he glanced at the young man and couldn't help but feel relieved.

With Mr. Zhan by her father's side, she really felt very at ease.

...

Outside the hunting ground, the drumsticks tied with red silk hit the drumhead heavily. The sound of the drums became more and more rapid, high-spirited and vigorous, and spread into the mountains and forests.

Before the sound of the drum, some disciples had turned back first.

At this time, the drum sounded, which meant that the hunting was over. With the sound of the drum, people and horses came out of the forest one after another.

When it was almost time for the people to come out, the eunuch began to count the prey.

But the person who hunted the most surprised everyone present——

Not Zhen Guogong.

Even though Lord Zhen still looked old and strong, standing there in his riding clothes would make people feel majestic, but in these years, General Xu has never won the first place.

Is this General Xu getting old?

That must not be possible!

——It must be because General Xu, as an elder, wanted to save the opportunity for a younger son.

Of course, this is General Xu. If it were Ji Shangshu who was also a military commander—see, old is old, and if you can’t do it, you can’t do it.

"Your Majesty King Jing has hunted a total of 16 prey!" The eunuch in charge of counting the prey exclaimed.

The children who participated in the hunting all cast their eyes on the smiling Prince Jing.

Quite a few people have met King Jing Shizi in the forest, and judging from the performance level of the other party who is one of the few in the forest...

This result, how to say?

To say that I feel surprised is not enough to express, anyway, it is quite psychedelic...

"It's actually King Jingshizi..."

There were also discussions among the ladies and wives.

"I didn't realize before that King Jing's son has such abilities..."

"After all, he is the son of King Jing."

Hearing these praises indistinctly, the spring-like smile on Prince Jing's face became brighter and brighter.

Rewards or not, he doesn't care about these extraneous things, the main thing is to enjoy the feeling of being appreciated and noticed.

Wu Chao also looked in the direction of the prince.

But he was not looking at the person, but at the prey placed in front of him.

As big as a wild deer, as small as a few fur mice.

He didn't pay much attention to it before, but now that he took a closer look, he couldn't help feeling that these prey looked familiar...

So far, he has nothing to understand.

Earlier in the mountains, when Lord Zhen Guo taught him the art of archery, it wasn't that he didn't notice that there were people nearby, but there were already a lot of people in the mountains, so he didn't pay attention to it——

Thinking of this, the young man silently looked at the Prince Jing who was not at all guilty under the praise of everyone.

But the facts have proved that the other party is not without the slightest guilty conscience.

Prince Jing also looked over at him.

The four eyes met for a moment, Prince Jing smiled at him, there was no lack of gratitude in that smile.

"..." Wu Chao remained silent and turned his head back.

Never, have I seen such a brazen person.

"Xingchang really impressed me this time." Emperor Qingming said with a smile in his eyes, "As expected of me, Xie Jiaerlang."

"..." Jing Wang on the side was beating his heart, wanting to say something to expose his son's true face, but he was afraid that the more he said that, the more it would appear that there was something jealous in his heart.

Under such circumstances, he could only stare at his son secretly.

What happened to this brat?

When he entered Beijing, he was not telling him not to make a show of stealing the limelight!

As for why he didn't specifically remind this brat not to take the first place this time? ——This kind of thing is like—who would think of telling a person who can't even write his own name to put it away when he goes out, so he can't accidentally take the number one prize and steal the limelight?

If this product is not the last one, it is already a hell!

God knows where he got those prey!

"Your Majesty praised me, my nephew is just lucky." Prince Jing said modestly, "In terms of archery, many of the young masters present are above my nephew."

King Jing sneered in his heart.

Is that "many"? - It is clear that everyone present is better than him!

Seeing his nephew's humble appearance, Emperor Qingming nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the crowd, and asked Li Ji with a smile: "Is there anyone who hasn't come back yet?"

Then a little eunuch went to compare and count the booklets that recorded those who entered the mountain. During this interval, another young man came out from the forest empty-handed.

At this point, the little eunuch replied: "Your Majesty, the only one left is the son of the Duke of Zhenguo who has not returned yet."

Emperor Qingming subconsciously looked at Duke Zhen.

Duke Zhen said: "Perhaps he was too playful when he was young—"

After a pause, he said again: "Maybe I encountered some trouble and couldn't deal with it in time."

Compared with the previous sentence, the latter sentence is what he really wants to say.

My grandson knew it well—although Ming Shi was young, he was not a person who didn't care about priorities, not to mention that he had specifically told him to leave the mountain immediately when he heard the drumbeat, and not to stay in the mountain.

It's done!
