Chapter 18 The Autumn Hunt Begins

September is a good time for hunting. In spring and summer, everything grows, and it is not easy to kill. Winter is cold and bleak, and it is not suitable. Only in autumn, the sky is clear and the prey is fat and fat.

Eunuch Changfu came here this time for the autumn hunting in the palace next week.

The once-a-year autumn hunt in Chengguo is attended by descendants of the royal family, princesses and princesses, princes and grandsons.There are also a few children of noble families with prominent family backgrounds who, through this autumn hunting, hope to be favored by the emperor, leave a good impression, and make some plans for their future success.

Si He didn't want to participate in this kind of activity at first. Although he has improved in martial arts, hunting with these princes and daughters is not fun at all. He has to let the princes and princes everywhere, and he can't hunt when he has prey, so he can only pick some. Liaozi, but also to keep them safe from time to time.

It's just exhausting.

But Si Yan didn't think about it so much. Being able to go to Qiuhun means that his martial arts skills are useful, and he can serve the emperor. For the simple Si Yan, it's too late to be happy.

Their father, Si Pingchuan, is from Yipin, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and has some contacts in the court. His sister is the current imperial concubine Yu, not to mention Mrs. Si's father, who is also the Great General of Zhenbei.

This Si family is also considered a famous family, so such occasions in the palace often reserve their place.

"Mother, are you going to the autumn hunting next week?" Seeing that Eunuch Changfu had left, Si Yan quickly asked, "This autumn hunting is fun and lively, you must like it."

"It's better for mother to go hunting in autumn than to stay with father in the mansion. Father's wind and cold are so severe." Si He poured himself a pot of tea and took a big sip, "And it's not like you don't know that mother likes quiet places."

Mrs. Si watched her two sons quarreling with a smile in her eyes, feeling a little emotional in her heart. Since Si He fell into the water last time, his temperament has grown a lot now. Compared with Si Yan, he is obviously the youngest. But more like a brother.

……

After drinking and eating, Si He went back to his room and began to write a reply to Ji Wanghuai.

First, I talked about today's father-in-law who came to the mansion to send Qiu Lie's famous post, and then remembered the last time I competed with Si Yan, and Yaotai's mother-in-law and Jun Yuan had already left for Yunxiao Mountain Villa, so it was a big deal. I was able to write two big sheets eloquently, only to find out that it was broken and I wrote too much.

The time was coming soon, he quickly drew a pig's head under the name, and then drew an arrow to write Ji Wanghuai's name, when someone outside the window knocked the window lightly, "Mr. Si?"

"Hey—shh—" Si He didn't bother to write his name anymore, grabbed the letter paper and ran over, "Why are you so punctual, I just finished writing."

"Oh, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a long time. Your Highness has ordered you to send letters to me in the future." The person who came was ordinary-looking and dressed in coarse cloth. Even if the Si family found out, they would at most think it was a servant. Pay too much attention.

"Well, wait!" Si He turned around and ran back to the inner room as if remembering something, and came out with a pigeon in his hands after a while, "You have worked hard too, why don't you just take this pigeon back and let it go down." It will find its way the next time, so don't stew it for me."

He has also improved his painting skills now. The flowers, birds, fish and animals he once painted can only be preserved for five hours at most, but now they can be preserved for five days, but it will require more blood. Fortunately, he is young and vigorous, and he has less Blood is no big deal.

It was night, everything was silent, the candles in the other room had been extinguished, only Si He was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

He recalled everything in the past ten years like a flying horse in his mind. He thought of Lu Yu's sweet words and his own arrogance. The world seemed like a dream. As a passerby, there is no need to be nostalgic or recall.

For some reason, Ji Wanghuai's face appeared in his mind, his fair neck when he looked up to drink, and his contemptuous look when he smiled contemptuously, especially when he first met him, Ji Wanghuai was wearing a A large cloak, the fur collar on the collar made him feel chilly, like a noble silver fox.

Alas, it may be because it has been too long since I have tried liking someone.

Si He despises himself in his heart, you just can't take your eyes off when you see a good-looking person, dreaming about it, you like others, can you like others!Backing is something you can like!

Thinking of this, Si He heaved a long sigh in his heart.

Between beauty and life-saving, life-saving is more important.

……

Thanks to Xiao Lushui, Prince Qi's condition improved one after another.

But Xiao Lushui said that he didn't want to reveal his identity, so Ji Wanghuai could only find an old man with white hair and childlike face, and asked Xiao Lushui to pretend to be a servant and sneak into the palace, declaring that he just found an old genius doctor, and didn't mention the magician at all.In order to hide it from the imperial physician and King Wen, during the treatment period, the prince's bedroom was also cleared, leaving only Xiao Lushui, the old man and Ji Wanghuai.

"Little Lushui, how long will it take for this to heal?" Ji Wanghuai frowned, seeing Xiao Lushui cut his finger and dripping blood into the medicine soup, although the prince was still unconscious, his complexion improved a lot, and the poisonous spot also disappeared.

The medicine soup is made for outsiders to see, only Xiao Lushui's blood is the real medicine.

"Probably..." Xiao Lushui tilted her head and thought for a while, "Maybe there are still two days left. I saw the blood in his body was black, but it was dirty. It was comparable to Aunt Wang's piglet and Grandpa Luo. It's much harder to save."

"It's okay, thank you for your hard work." Ji Wanghuai let out a long sigh of relief, "As long as you can save it, as long as you can save it."

"You're sick too," Xiao Lushui glanced at Ji Wanghuai, and he shook his head, "But I can't see your body clearly, it's foggy, every time I want to see your limbs and bones, I feel pain in my eyes, as if You don't allow me to see the same."

Ji Wanghuai couldn't understand what Xiao Lushui was talking about, he just smiled, "How can I not allow the magician to see my internal organs, it doesn't matter, as long as you can save the prince, I know my body well, In two more years, my illness will be cured."

Xiao Lushui opened his mouth to speak, but swallowed it back. He lowered his head, always feeling that he might not be good at learning, and he still needs to practice more in the future.

Ji Wanghuai had to go to the Ministry of War to help every day, which was originally the prince's job, but now that the prince is recuperating, he can only take care of it for the prince temporarily.

"Second Highness, Master Si's letter has arrived." Just as Ji Wanghuai returned home, Jiu Qing ran over holding a stack of letters, "They just sent it, and there is also a little pigeon, which he said was ordered by Master Si." If you want to send a message in the future, just use this pigeon."

"What did he write?" Ji Wanghuai laughed, this thick stack, could it be that some banknotes were added.

However, when he opened it, it turned out that he guessed wrong.

How much can a person talk?Si He is the first choice.

Although Ji Wanghuai was a little surprised, he didn't even care that he read it twice. Even Jiuqing asked curiously: "Your Highness, what did this young master write? I haven't seen you smile for a long time. gone."

"Is there?" Ji Wanghuai asked, but the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be concealed, "It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter." He handed the letter paper to Jiuqing, "Put it in my book Let's go."

"Hey, Your Highness," Jiuqing asked curiously as he folded the letter over and over again, "What does this pig's head mean?"

"Didn't he put an arrow pointing to his name?" Ji Wanghuai thought for a while, "I guess he was talking about himself."

And Si He, known as the pig's head, sneezed two big sneezes.

"He'er, what's the matter, have you caught the cold?" Mrs. Si asked worriedly, "Why don't you go for today's autumn hunting?"

"It's nothing, but the nose is uncomfortable." Si He chuckled, he was wearing a moon-white dress with arrow sleeves today, the material was the cloud satin gifted by the jade concubine, with dark patterns, it was extremely luxurious, which made him elegant , handsome out of dust.

"He'er, let's go," Si Yan came out from the inner room, followed by Si Lu in red riding attire.

"Sister Lu is going today too?" Si He asked, if Si Lu was going, it would definitely be to see the crown prince. He heard from his father a few days ago that Emperor Jing intended to marry Si Lu to the crown prince, but he was the concubine. Or the side concubine, I don't know.

"Yes, that's what your aunt meant." Mrs. Si sighed. Luckily, Concubine Yugui and the Empress Dowager have a good relationship, otherwise... "Lu'er is usually weak and weak. You have to protect the safety of Eldest Sister."

"Mother, don't worry."

……

The royal hunting ground is in the western suburbs, and Si He and the others will stay here with the emperor for two or three days.

The three of Si He were on a horse, and Si Lu walked slowly, so Si He and Si Yan rode alone while protecting her. As soon as they walked into the hunting ground, they saw a group of people gathered in front of them. The prince is on tour.

"Then it must be the prince," Si He narrowed his eyes, he hadn't seen the prince for some time, he didn't expect the prince to have grown up like this, with extraordinary conversation, but a little delicate.Perhaps sensing Si He's gaze, the crown prince turned his head and met Si He's gaze, but was soon attracted by Si Lu who was next to Si He.

Seeing the prince smiling foolishly like an idiot, Si He secretly despised him, but he was relieved for his sister, the prince seemed to really like his sister, at least his eyes wouldn't lie.

"Sihe?"

Just hearing this voice, Si He didn't even need to turn his head to know who called his name.

Who else could call out his name in such a pleasant and intimate tone?

Alas, the person I least want to see is here again.
