Before Yan Zhao knew it, she had already gained some fame under the honor of Princess Yong Yang. If Mrs. Xiao knew about it, she would be very happy, and the scope of selecting young talents could be expanded.

But those who can participate in the royal spring hunting are all the children of noble families with high background. After a little inquiring, they know that she is a girl from a sixth-rank small official family in other places, and those with high status look down on such a small family. Those who are worse are not very willing. Those who have been brought up by a high school all say that they marry wives and virtuous people, and take concubines and sex.

Compared with the benefits and career prospects brought by the power of the wives, a beautiful woman is really nothing.

However, there are exceptions. Xu Zhang is a well-known prodigal son of nobles in Beijing, but who told him that his ancestors were honored elders who fought with the founding emperor and were named British Dukes.For three or four generations, the shadow is still there.Xu Zhang is also the youngest son of the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, and it is not his turn to take on the important task of inheriting the Duke's Mansion. In addition, his mother loves him very much, and he has developed the habit of being a playboy, and his reputation in Capital City is not good.excellent.

Many famous families are unwilling to marry their daughters to her, and the wife of the prince of the British government is also worried about his marriage.

He himself didn't take it seriously, he still went his own way and lingered in the land of love and moon.

Xu Zhang's eyes were sharp, and he saw the blue-clothed girl next to Princess Yong Yang at a glance. According to his vision of reading all kinds of spring flowers and autumn moons, this is definitely a rare beauty. his favorite place.

So he immediately sent someone to ask which girl it was, and Xu Zhang was much happier when he learned of her family background. If it was that kind of noble girl, he would probably have a lot of trouble thinking about it, and it would be easier if she had a lower status. up.

There are guards everywhere in the hunting ground. Generally speaking, there is no danger. In addition to riding horses and hunting, playing polo and other activities, you can also play and enjoy the scenery at will, and even men and women are less likely to be disturbed.

Xu Zhang really wanted to get close to the beautiful woman, but knowing that she was with Princess Yong Yang, he stopped thinking about it for a while. With his reputation, he might be stopped by the princess's guards before he gets within thirty feet. No matter how rich Xu Zhang is, he knows what taboos can't be touched.

Yan Zhao still doesn't know the halo of Princess Yong Yang, and even blocks some mad bees and butterflies for her.

In fact, this is what Situ Zhou had already considered.

He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of spring hunting to meet Yan Zhao openly, but also worried that there were many nobles in the hunting ground, even if he had cousins like Marquis JinYuan Residence and the Xiao family, he might not be able to protect her.He was still taken care of by Yong Yang, so he felt more at ease.

Unfortunately, it is not so easy to escape,

"I haven't seen you for a while, the riding and shooting skills of the fifth and sixth brothers have regressed a lot, why don't you come to my Zhuangzi another day and let me teach you."

Riding on a tall horse was the third prince, Situ Yu, who came to meet him, with a contemptuous smile on his face as he spoke.

It is also customary for the prince to show his riding and shooting in the paddock, not only to win the favor, but also to perform outstandingly among many honorable ministers, attracting more bets.

What's more, this time Emperor Jianming also took out a precious jade ruyi as a lottery, which aroused the enthusiasm of all the princes, even Si Tuzhou couldn't be perfunctory and did his best.But in the end, the third prince gained the most and came out on top.

Many people are well aware that it is impossible to hunt so many in such a short hour, including tigers and leopards. I am afraid that the accompanying guards and the Duke Chang's mansion have prepared long ago.

But His Majesty has already rewarded Yu Ruyi, and there is no conclusive evidence, and no one will be so stupid as to jump out and expose the matter.

Seeing him flaunting his might and posing like a winner, the fifth prince's eyes flashed with unwillingness and anger.

Situ Zhou didn't take it seriously, he was used to the arrogance of his third brother who was a compatriot with one mother, and he liked to teach his younger brothers how to behave, so he said indifferently, "Third brother is always busy with work, so I don't want to bother him."

When the third prince heard this, he thought he was praising him, and when he thought that he was given the most important duties in the court among the princes, he was even more proud, so he stopped targeting this younger brother.

So the gun continued to be pointed at the fifth prince, "I heard that the fifth brother ran to the Marquis JinYuan Residence a few days ago. I think it was a waste of effort. The bamboo basket fetched water in vain."

Although the sixth child was also traveling with him, he later denied his intention of marrying Marquis JinYuan's daughter in front of his mother and concubine. Although the third prince, Situ Yu, was wary of him, he did not believe that he could tell lies to change his face. Naturally, he felt that the fifth child had ulterior motives.up.

The fifth prince laughed back angrily, "I can't see it, it's going to rain today, and my mother is going to get married, so can third brother still be in charge?"

The smile on the third prince's face darkened a bit when he heard the words, these words hit his sore spot, whether it was the emperor's will or Marquis JinYuan, he couldn't make the decision.

It's just that the sacred heart of the father is unpredictable, and Marquis JinYuan, a mere courtier, dared to refuse when he offered an olive branch.He is the son of a noble concubine, and he is the longest other than the eldest. He is worthy to be the crown prince no matter how noble or virtuous he is.Marquis JinYuan dared to belittle him, and he would definitely make him pay the price.

The third child and the sixth child broke up after a few words, and Si Tuzhou, who stayed in the same place, glanced at the woods in the southeast direction, as if he saw the fourth prince Situ Cheng from the corner of his eye just now.

He was slightly lost in thought,

The third brother, who grew up among the stars since he was a child, has always looked down on the eldest brother and fourth child whose biological mothers came from humble backgrounds. As for the reasons for him and the fifth child, it is also normal.There was a literary family whose emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, and he had quite a lot of influence among civil servants and dignitaries.And he and the third brother came from the same mother, and he would be supported by the resources that the third brother worried about occupying the Duke of Chang, so he would naturally be regarded as a competitor.

But the third brother seems to have forgotten that the eldest is not favored and has mediocre abilities, but the performance of the fourth eldest in entering the court as an adult can not be called incompetent, but most of the light is blocked by the publicity of the third brother, the son of a noble concubine,Even the third brother subconsciously ignores the ones that don't show the mountains and don't show the water.

Si Tuzhou paused again, shaking his head slightly, he thought about what to do, anyway, it has nothing to do with him in the future.

After Yan Zhaona learned about the plot of Chuanshu, he secretly inquired about his father's physical condition from all aspects. It was indeed in the prime of his age. If he could reign for another ten or twenty years, it would be too early to think about it.

But compared to the end of the trial riding and shooting, he had more time to spare, so he summoned his attendants to ask where Princess Yong Yang was now.

Yan Zhaozheng and Princess Yong Yang took a walk in the hunting ground. As a royal hunting ground, the scenery is still very good. Across the grass, through the woods, you can also see a mirror-like lake.

Yong Yang smiled and said, "Sixth brother is right, in the past, if you stay in the palace for a long time, you will feel bored, it's better to go out and be happy."

There was a sound of hoofbeats, and a familiar clear voice sounded, "Yong Yang, you are really easy for me to find."

Yan Zhao turned around and saw the person coming, raised his head, the sunlight was slightly dazzling, Si Tuzhou straddled down neatly, wearing a different dress from the last time we met in Suxing Building, a light blue robe of the same color as her, and a dark blue tunicThe jade crown is more graceful, noble and romantic.

"No matter how hard it is to find, Sixth Brother still found it." Yong Yang pointed out, but found that his eyes fell on Miss Yan, with a smile, and his eyes were soft and inconceivable.

This surprised Yong Yang even more than when Sixth Brother asked her to take care of Miss Yan.She has always been close to Sixth Brother, knowing that he looks gentle on the outside, but he is cold-tempered on the inside, even in private, he is not very close to his mother and concubine, and few people can make him treat him so tenderly.

At this moment, Yong Yang suddenly realized, and then said very knowledgeably and wittily, "I'm going to see Father, I heard that in this competition, among the prey you harvested is a fiery red and beautiful fox, while Father is happy,I'm going to beg him to give me a pet."

Yong Yang glanced at Yan Zhao again, "As for Miss Yan, I'll ask Sixth Brother to send you there."

After speaking, Yong Yang took the people away, and he walked away in a chic and crisp manner.

Yan Zhao was stunned, and Si Tuzhou touched his nose, "Don't underestimate her, she is smarter than you."

This palace can't raise real foolish white sweets. If Yong Yang is really stupid, no matter how much he teaches Emperor Jianming's likes and dislikes, he won't be able to leap to become the most favored princess.Of course, Si Tuzhou still has feelings for this younger sister who has grown up, otherwise he would not think about her.

Yan Zhao blinked, "I heard Princess Yong Yang praised you a lot, six elder brothers are superior and sixth elder brothers are inferior." Situ Zhou was almost blown away.

Si Tuzhou raised his eyebrows and nodded, "It means that I didn't hurt her in vain."

Even the princess was gone, and the accompanying guards were all Si Tuzhou's confidantes, so naturally they didn't dare to disturb her, and they all quietly retreated to the side to guard.

"Would you like to try riding a horse for a while?" Si Tuzhou suggested, he naturally knew that Yan Zhao had no experience in riding and shooting.

Yan Zhao blinked, and said cautiously with self-knowledge, "I'm inexperienced, so I might be in danger." The degree of disability from falling from a horse is very serious.

Si Tuzhou smiled, "It's okay, you sit on the horseback, and I'll lead the horse and show you around."

Yan Zhao couldn't hold back the novelty of wanting to try it, so he nodded and handed his hand to him, but Si Tuzhou directly grabbed her waist and lifted her up with ease, in the blink of an eye, Yan Zhao vacated and landed on the saddle, his heart skipped a beat.

Xu was educated by the royal elite, and he has never failed in any of the six arts of a gentleman. Si Tuzhou even thought that Yan Zhao was too light. He felt like a cloud, light and soft, but it really existed.

Situ Zhou was holding the horse's bridle. This horse has been raised by him for several years, and its temperament is relatively docile. With him protecting it, there will never be any problems.

Yan Zhao was a little nervous at first, but gradually got used to it, and even felt a little swayed.

Riding a horse can't be said to be a very comfortable thing, but it's interesting to take a leisurely walk like this and feel the green mountains, green waters and mist in the hunting ground.

Si Tuzhou said again, "What kind of prey do you want, such as keeping a fox like Yongning. There are not only fiery red ones, but also pure white ones. There are other animals in the Royal Zoo. If you like, I willI can bring a few out for you."

Yan Zhao's eyes lit up immediately, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind, but she shook her head in the end, even if it was delivered, it would be inconvenient for her to live in Xiaofu's uncle's house, and the pets in the Royal Animal Garden, sheDefinitely can't afford it.

Si Tuzhou listened to her concerns and didn't say any more. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

By the green water lake, Situ Zhou led the horse, looked at her with a smile from time to time, and talked to her, Yan Zhao had an indescribable feeling, hazy.

It's a pity that the happy time is always short-lived, seeing that the sky is a little gray, and it looks like it's going to rain.The accompanying guards brought umbrellas and cloaks, Si Tuzhou took Yan Zhao off the horse again, smiled helplessly, "I will take you back to Yong Yang's camp."

But on the way back through the woods, saw an unexpected scene.

"Fifth brother?" Seeing the two people in the distance, Si Tuzhou was slightly puzzled,

We've already come here, and it's not easy to make a detour or turn back. When we meet, we naturally want to say hello. Si Tuzhou hesitated for a while, and soon recognized the identity of another noble lady, "This...isMiss Lu."

"I've met His Highness the Sixth Highness." Lu Yan was also surprised when she saw Yan Zhao, "Cousin Yan."

"The sixth brother is here too." The fifth prince raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect the sixth brother to be accompanied by a beautiful woman, and he was even happier that Miss Lu saw it.In the mind of his daughter's family, the sixth brother must have lost out, and his chances of marrying Marquis JinYuan's legitimate daughter are even greater.

He thought about it, and if he wanted to overwhelm the third child, the great-grandfather Wen's family alone would not be enough.Only with the help of Marquis JinYuan Residence can he aspire to the throne, so Lu Yan, the daughter of Marquis JinYuan, is bound to win.As for Miss Wen Jia, she owed her to be a side concubine first, and when he became emperor in the future, he would make Miss Wen Jia a noble concubine as compensation.

The fifth prince thought beautifully, but he didn't know that Lu Yan was really bored with him.

Her father had already told her that she didn't want her to be involved in the vortex of the royal family's succession and become a tool for power and profit. And the sour words of Miss Wen's ladies made her even less want to get involved with the Fifth Prince.

However, the fifth prince entangled her, making it difficult for her to escape, and Xiao Qingyue, who was originally with her, also left intimidated by the power of the fifth prince. The arrival of the sixth prince just relieved her embarrassment, but—she hadn't expected that Yan Zhao would go with the sixth prince.

Lu Yan looked at this girl from the Yan family's cousin with complicated eyes for a while.
