Chapter 63 The Emperor’s Favorite Concubine
Two hours later, people came back with prey one after another.
The most eye-catching ones are Shi Wushuang and the second prince. The second prince had a lot of prey, including rabbits, pheasants, foxes, wild boars, tigers, etc., but Shi Wushuang only shot tigers, six tigers in total.
Shi Yanming made some calculations and found that the second prince's total score exceeded Shi Wushuang. He stood next to Shi Wushuang and whispered: "Brother, you are hiding your clumsiness."
A smart person can tell at a glance that he did not fight the second prince alone, but a group of people who hunted anything they saw to gather prey for the second prince. But Shi Wushuang is the master, just looking for tigers. , it will take a lot of time.
Shi Wushuang was making way for the two princes, but he did not disgrace the general's palace.
"Don't dare to argue with the two princes, it's better to keep a low profile." Shi Wushuang said softly.
Shi Yanming raised his eyebrows, "What if the third prince also goes hunting today?"
Shi Wushuang said nothing.
The people who went hunting were almost back, but the emperor still hadn't returned.
There was no abnormality in the paddock. The Prime Minister was talking to Shi Pingshan about whether to send someone to find the Emperor. Birds were flying in the forest, and a group of people came on horseback. At the front was the Emperor in black robes, followed by the commander and guards. them.
Everyone stood up to greet him, and the steward hurriedly ran forward to lead the emperor's horse.
Someone knelt down to use as a footrest for the emperor. The emperor had already turned over and dismounted from the other side. He glanced sideways and saw that Su Qingyu also dismounted from the horse. The emperor then turned his gaze away and walked forward.
Manager: "Your Majesty, the statistics have been calculated. This time the second prince won the first place, the prince second, and the division general ranked third."
Naturally, the emperor's prey would not be counted like others. The manager took a look at the prey brought back by the guards and saw that half of the country was occupied by white foxes.
The manager was a little surprised, and silently gave a thumbs up to the young master for actually hitting so many foxes.
The emperor looked at the prey around the three people mentioned by the steward, lowered his head and said something to the steward.
The steward nodded repeatedly, feeling that the emperor seemed to be in a good mood.
Before he left, he looked at Su Qingyu and then Nie Haishu, and then he realized that something was wrong with Nie Haishu and the other commanders.
He subconsciously looked at Su Qingyu again, and Su Qingyu gave him a heart-wrenching smile.
The manager went down scratching his head.
After the emperor sat in the stands, Shi Pingshan reported to him the top ten results one by one. The emperor seemed very satisfied, with a smile on his face and said, "There are prizes for all of them."
The steward led someone to bring the prize up.
The highlight is naturally the top three. As expected, the prizes for the second prince and the prince are generous, but the prize for Shi Wushuang is only a sword.
At first, many people felt that it was a little weak compared to the two princes. After recognizing the sword, the paddock suddenly became quiet.
Shi Wushuang naturally recognized this sword. It was the sword used by the emperor when he fought on the battlefield, and the emperor's sword that had been with the emperor since he was young.
He hurriedly knelt down, "I am terrified."
Shi Pingshan also stood up in surprise, "Your Majesty..."
The emperor raised his hand to stop his words and looked at his teacher Wushuang, "Wushuang, I will give this sword to you. I hope you can guard Dasheng Jiangshan for me, kill the enemy troops outside and the rebels inside. See the sword as if you are seeing it." I."
Master Wushuang clenched his sword tightly and kowtowed heavily, "I will never give up until I die, and I will definitely live up to my sacred mandate."
Everyone in the hunting ground looked at him with caution and fear, with various thoughts.
The Emperor's love for the General's Mansion is more than just love. "Slaying the enemy troops from outside" is inevitable, but "slaying the rebels from within" is of far-reaching significance.
527 sighed: [Finally I understand why so many ministers want to send their daughters and sisters to the palace. Is this just one person who has achieved enlightenment and a chicken and a dog ascend to heaven? Your method of hosting is awesome! 】
Su Qingyu: [...If you don’t know how to speak, don’t speak. He is not that kind of emperor. 】
527 smelled the sour smell again, and started to defend the emperor, haha.
Su Qingyu looked at the emperor happily.
When the emperor glanced over, he clearly pursed his lips. His originally light-colored lips were now red and moist.
The emperor immediately looked away without looking at anyone, picked up the teacup and drank water with his eyes down.
However, Su Qingyu never moved his eyes away. His eyes fell on the emperor's Adam's apple that was rolling up and down due to drinking water. He stared at it for a long time before suddenly looking into the distance.
After he looked away, the emperor looked over again "accidentally".
527:【……】
Can you go to a house or go back under that tree and take a good look?
It doesn't understand that if you don't look at this kind of situation, it will make you die from discomfort, right?
After the hunt is over, it’s time to enjoy the trophies.
The most immediate thing is game. In the afternoon, a rack was set up in the hunting ground, and the smell of meat was fragrant.
The emperor is not here and the atmosphere is relaxed.
Su Qingyu was taken to eat barbecue by his two brothers. He was eating roasted rabbit legs when he heard his second brother shout: "Haishu! Come here to eat!"
Su Qingyu paused slightly while eating meat, and then he remembered that Nie Haishu was Shi Yanming's good friend.
Shi Yanming paused, walked over, and saluted Shi Wushuang, "General."
Shi Wushuang hurriedly stood up and supported his arm, "President Nie, you don't need to be so polite. My brother has been taken care of by Commander Nie in Yuan Division for a long time. I should thank you."
Nie Haishu: "..."
No matter where he was needed to take care of, the emperor would personally carry him off his horse.
While thinking this, he looked at Su Qingyu.
Su Qingyu was silent for a few seconds, then stood up and said, "Brother is right, I must thank Commander Nie properly."
Nie Haishu: "..."
Let him go.
Just when the atmosphere was a little strange, the steward came. He glanced at Nie Haishu resentfully and said to Su Qingyu, "My lord, the emperor asked you to come over."
"..."
Su Qingyu followed the manager, pretending to be reluctant to part with his brother and the barbecue.
Shi Yanming asked Nie Haishu keenly, "Do you feel anything is wrong?"
Nie Haishu: "..."
He had just apologized to the manager, and now he wanted to apologize to his friend again, "No, isn't it normal?"
On the way, the manager also asked Su Qingyu carefully, "Sir, how was the hunting in the morning?"
The manager felt that something must have happened. He asked Nie Haishu this way, but Nie Haishu would not reveal anything, not even a little bit.
Su Qingyu could tell that the manager had a gossipy mind, perhaps because of his profession.
He didn't hide anything, satisfying the scratching manager, "Okay, the emperor will sit behind me, hold my hand and beat several white foxes."
The steward thought about the scene and became very excited. What he said was: "Young master, you are so lucky. The emperor teaches archery personally. This is a unique favor."
Su Qingyu nodded with a smile and continued to satisfy his desires, "Yes, the emperor is so powerful. When he shot the fox, I couldn't help but kiss him."
Manager: "..."
Su Qingyu: "I wasn't feeling well. The emperor helped me get off the horse, and I took the opportunity to jump on the emperor."
Manager: "..."
He could no longer imagine that scene.
Manager: "Your Majesty has condescended to take care of you. Your Majesty should thank you."
Su Qingyu: "Of course, I thanked him, right on the emperor's body, against his forehead. I said so many good things that the emperor's ears turned red."
Manager: "..."
The manager was speechless and only glanced at Su Qingyu carefully.
Su Qingyu said in a good mood, "Then the emperor carried me under the tree and kissed me."
Manager: "!"
Is this something he can hear? Absolutely not!
The steward's curiosity had been greatly satisfied and he did not dare to listen anymore. He hurriedly said: "Master Junior Master, the Emperor is still waiting. Let's hurry up."
After he finished speaking, he didn't hear a response. He looked up and found that the young master didn't know what he was thinking, and his eyes were full of smiles.
The steward seemed to know what he was thinking, and the corners of his mouth almost raised. This was the first time in his life that he felt this way. He coughed and called again, "Master Junior Master?"
"Huh?" Su Qingyu looked at him, "Does the manager know why the emperor called me?"
The steward continued to walk forward, "Old slave, I really don't know." This was not a casual thing to say to other adults. If he knew, he really wanted to tell him.
"The emperor read for a while after taking a nap, and suddenly asked the old slave to call you."
Su Qingyu: "It's okay. You'll know when you meet the emperor."
There was not only the emperor in the room, but also several palace ladies, which stopped Su Qingyu who wanted to go straight to the emperor.
When the two palace maids saw Su Qingyu, they bowed and said, "Master, I will tailor this for you."
Su Qingyu looked at the emperor, who said, "It's getting cold. I'll make you a fox fur cloak."
Su Qingyu: "Those white foxes are the ones I brought hard for the Emperor to make for the Emperor."
527:【……】
"Hard"
Even if it’s something special.
The emperor considered his words for a while, then lowered his head to read, and said nonchalantly: "They are all there."
Su Qingyu: "..."
It turns out that the emperor is dressing up as a couple.
Indeed, there were enough white foxes for one person when he went to the river. After leaving the river, the emperor took him to shoot a few more.
At that time, he thought that the emperor liked this activity. In fact, he had this plan at that time?
Su Qingyu almost laughed when she looked at his side face, and allowed the palace maid to measure him, but said, "Do you still need to measure? Your Majesty doesn't know?"
"..."
All the eunuchs and maids in the room lowered their heads as low as possible.
As soon as the measurement was completed, the steward immediately led the maids away with a wink.
Su Qingyu and the emperor were the only two people left in the room.
527 Question: [Should I quit too? 】
Su Qingyu: [Can you step down? 】
527 said: [The host’s very private life cannot be seen by the system. 】
Su Qingyu asked with interest: [What is a very private life? 】
527 gave a ready-made example today, [For example, when you kiss the emperor on horseback, I can see it, but when the emperor lowers his head to kiss you under the tree, I can’t see it... In other words, then What happened in 6 minutes and 45 seconds? 】
Nothing much happened.
What can happen in 6 minutes and 45 seconds.
It's just that the place Bo Yunyi kissed moved from the face to the lips.
He kissed Bo Yunyi's face on horseback, and 527 saw it, but when it came time to kiss, 527 couldn't see it.
Su Qingyu also didn't expect that their first kiss would be initiated by Bo Yunyi, nor did he expect that he usually looked cold and indifferent, either a flower on the high mountain or cold-blooded and impermanent, but when they kissed, he seemed to be on fire.
Su Qingyu seemed to hear the sound of leaves being blown by the autumn wind again, saw Bo Yunyi looking intently at him with his head lowered, smelled the familiar yet unfamiliar breath gradually getting deeper, and felt his trembling heat.
Su Qingyu pursed her lips: [Okay, then you can retreat. 】
527: [? 】
Su Qingyu took away the book in the emperor's hand and sat face to face on his lap. "The emperor doesn't know what my waist size is, right?"
He originally wanted to say a few more words, but when the emperor looked up at him, saw the look in his eyes, and felt the strength on his waist, he knew there was no need to say anything.
When the emperor raised his head, Su Qingyu put her hands on his shoulders and leaned over.
Then something happened that 527 couldn't see.
527: [...? 】
You two bitchy men, how dare you let it see mosaics in broad daylight!
I watched it for 20 minutes!
Didn’t you just have a kiss this morning?
20 minutes later, he saw the host sitting on the emperor intact. Before he could see their eyes clearly, it was about to speak. When the emperor raised his head, his eyes turned into a mosaic again.
527: [……]
After this happened again, 527 ran away from home.
It held the bull's head and angrily went to gossip with its little friend.
Su Qingyu naturally stayed with the emperor for dinner.
Fitting in with the fall hunting theme, there were lots of barbecues for dinner, especially venison.
"..."
Su Qingyu glanced at the manager, who smiled at him.
Su Qingyu said: "Manager Wang is so considerate."
The steward was proud in his heart, but said very humbly on the outside: "This is what an old slave should do. Your Majesty and Master should eat more, especially this venison. The third prince specially sent it in the afternoon to honor your Majesty. It is extremely fresh and tender."
"..."
Su Qingyu took a piece of venison and put it in his mouth to chew slowly. He did not forget to give the emperor a piece and said with a smile: "Eat more, your emperor, venison is a great supplement."
Bo Yunyi: "..."
The manager retired and stood in the corner watching them eat.
The emperor was in poor health, and he was worried at first. But today, when he saw the emperor turning over his horse and seeing the emperor hunting back those prey, he realized that he was wrong.
People feel refreshed when happy events happen, and the emperor's health is much better than before. No wonder there is a folk saying of "happy happiness".
But as a general manager, he still had to take good care of the health of the emperor and the young master.
No, the third prince just sent a fawn this afternoon, and he asked the imperial chef to cook it. When he was energetic, he couldn't forget to replenish his body.
After having dinner together, it was time for Su Qingyu to leave.
He didn't really want to leave, but he never took turns at night, and this was in the palace. The master and his son were in the courtyard of the palace, so there was no reason not to go back.
When leaving, Su Qingyu kissed the emperor's face again, "Your Majesty, I'm leaving."
The emperor said "hmm" and kissed his fingers before letting go of his hand.
Su Qingyu hadn't walked for long when he felt someone following behind him. He turned around and looked over.
After changing his clothes, the emperor's face became clearer and clearer under the lantern. The eyes he looked over were deep and bright, falling on his face for a long time, and whispered: "I will take you back."
The corners of Su Qingyu's mouth didn't move much the whole day.
The emperor dismissed everyone and came out alone. He took Su Qingyu's hand and sent him back.
The two walked quietly in the night, but unfortunately the road was too short.
The palace is not as big as the imperial palace, and the courtyard where the master's family lives is very close to the emperor.
When he was about to reach the guard area of the General's Mansion, Su Qingyu felt the strength in his hand suddenly increase, and he was pulled to the corner by the emperor.
In the corner of the wall, far away from lanterns and torches, in the dim night, Su Qingyu described the flickering emotions in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, you don't want me to leave?"
The word "um" disappeared between their lips and teeth.
527 just came back and saw another mosaic.
【……】
You have kiss-hungry syndrome, don’t you?
I can't live this day.
Su Qingyu still left. For the last short distance, he walked back to the courtyard of the General's Mansion alone. Before entering the gate, he looked back at a certain corner.
He knew there was someone there still watching him.
Su Qingyu stepped into the door with a smile.
527 said unbearably: [Host, do you know what you look like now? 】
Su Qingyu: [What does it look like? 】
527: [A middle school boy falling in love for the first time. 】
Su Qingyu: [……]
527 went to chat with its friend 8921 for a while about the host's love in the mission world. 8921 has been to five worlds with its host and is much more experienced than it.
The host of 8921 is a middle-aged boy. It says that when humans fall in love for the first time, their brains become abnormal. It takes its host as an example, saying that he giggles from time to time and his behavior is even more terrible.
527 feels that his host is similar at this time, even if he is a scumbag who loves women.
Su Qingyu: [Impossible. 】
527 chuckled, it already had all the evidence.
This went on for another day.
From 527’s perspective, this day looks like this:
During the day, when other people are around, the sight of the two of them is blurred when others don't know.
It often sees inappropriate mosaics in the system when no one else is around.
Obviously there has been such a long sticky moment in the day, and the emperor has to send the host back at night.
It's just a few minutes missing, right?
After another day like this, the autumn hunt was finally over and they were going back.
Going back was the same as when they came. Su Qingyu's carriage was in the queue of princes. The simple journey was three hours, which means they couldn't see each other for six hours. Including the rest time on the way, it took almost eight hours.
Su Qingyu originally wanted to get up early to see the emperor, but he didn't arrive until his second brother knocked on the door and the team was about to set off.
Su Qingyu had no choice but to sit on the carriage with the fourth prince.
At first, the fourth prince liked Muchuan out of curiosity. Later, Su Qingyu didn't know whether he liked Muchuan or him. He always liked to follow him, like a little tail. When he met several princes, he also followed him. .
The carriage was very close. During the break, several princes came to see him, and the third prince even got on his carriage.
After the emperor gave his Emperor Sword to Shi Wushuang, the third prince was the happiest.
He pondered over the emperor's words over and over again, and the more he thought about them, the more frightened he became. What he cared about was not "killing the enemy troops from outside", but "killing the rebels from within."
After the death of the emperor, if other princes want to compete for the throne with the person designated by the emperor to inherit the throne, they are also rebels.
There is no prince who is not frightened by this supreme power, and the one closest to him in the General's Palace is him. The General's Palace cares most about their youngest son who is the most guilty and loves him deeply.
Yu Jingan kept thinking about this all day and night, and he finally regained his previous confidence.
During the recent period, he first confirmed his master's pure love for him, and secondly realized that a general's palace is worth thousands of troops, not to mention that the general's palace itself has thousands of troops.
He must also seize the news of his master's death.
After careful analysis, he even thought about marrying his master and settling down.
He married his master, so of course the General's Office is on his side. Even if the people in the General's Office still don't help him, outsiders must believe that the General's Office is on his side, and he can easily win over other forces. .
My father is so fond of the General's Mansion, so he must be leaning towards him to some extent.
He doesn't have that much time, so this is indeed a path that can be considered.
With this thought in mind, he got on Su Qingyu's carriage and saw not only Muchuan but also the fourth prince on it.
"..."
There were two little guys here, and Su Qingyu enthusiastically invited him to come up, "What are you doing, Third Prince, standing there in a daze? Come up."
The third prince came up maintaining the smile on his face.
Su Qingyu said: "Didn't the Third Prince say he wanted to get closer to Muchuan last time? Now is a good opportunity."
"..."
Su Qingyu said: "Don't the third prince still like Muchuan?"
Yu Jingan: "Of course not."
Who dares not to like the emperor's dog?
"That is?" Su Qingyu asked doubtfully.
The fourth prince blinked and asked: "Brother Third Emperor, are you afraid? Don't be afraid, Muchuan doesn't bite."
As he spoke, he reached out and touched Muchuan's head.
"..." Under the gaze of the two men, the third prince slowly reached out and approached Muchuan.
The dog was still growling at him. Yu Jing'an was really afraid that it would bite his hand off, but in order to get closer to his master and develop the next thing smoothly, he still endured the numb scalp and tensed up his whole body. He put his hand on Muchuan's head.
"Xiao Xi likes Muchuan, and of course I like him too." When he said this, sweat broke out on his forehead.
527: [Host, repentance value +2, 31. 】
Su Qingyu smiled with satisfaction and told him interesting stories about Muchuan.
Yu Jing'an came up to get close to him, but he kept talking about Muchuan. The key was that there was a fourth prince who kept looking directly at them.
He thought to himself that if he sat a little longer, he would always wait for the opportunity. Who knew that he sat for an hour, and the fourth prince also sat for an hour, until he entered the palace.
Yu Jing'an got down from Su Qingyu's carriage in a gloomy mood, feeling uneasy for no reason in his heart.
He has always been keen, and when he thought about it carefully, he realized that he had failed every time he tried to get close to his old master recently. Is this all a coincidence? Yu Jing'an decided that no matter what happened today, he would tell his master about his plans and get close to him.
As we walked and stopped, it was almost dark.
After the autumn hunting, which lasted for five days including the journey, the commanders of Yuansi gathered together for a regular meeting.
Yu Ansi's duty office in the palace is in the northwest corner of the palace, far away from the harem. There is a star observatory in front, and Yu Jing'an is there.
He didn't know when Shi Guxi would come out, so he simply waited here and went to find him as soon as he came out.
With the plan of marrying his master and settling down, he is no longer "avoiding suspicion".
He kept waiting. After more than half an hour, when it was already dark, he saw his master Guxi walking out of Yuansi.
Just as he was about to go down, he suddenly stopped.
The Emperor's Dragon Chase unexpectedly appeared here at some point.
There were not many people behind Long Chu, only the guards carrying him silently guarding the people inside, like dead soldiers.
When the teacher passed by, a conspicuous pale hand stretched out from the black dragon.
The distance was a bit far, and Yu Jing'an couldn't see the details of that hand clearly, but he knew that it was his father's hand.
Master Guxi held the hand and was pulled into the dragon chase. In the darkness of the night, he was quietly taken into the harem.
