Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 98 Envy
After nightfall, Mount Futai was colder than during the day, and the bonfire outside the big tent was burning brightly, and the ministers took their seats with their families.

The queen was pregnant and stayed in Beijing, so Fu Xiuyun brought two newly promoted beauties to accompany her.

After Fu Xiuyun took his seat, he said a few symbolic words, and the banquet officially began.

Ling Youyao was wrapped in a thick fur-collared cloak, holding a bowl of hot soup in her hand, her small face was blushed by the heat, her eyes were black and bright, like the brightest stars in the night.

A gust of cold wind hit, she shrank her neck, and couldn't help hiding behind Fu Mingjue.

Fu Mingjue noticed her small movements, and looked back at her: "If it's cold, go back first, there's nothing wrong here."

Ling Youyao blinked and said, "Will His Majesty be happy if I leave so soon?"

"No, just don't be seen by him."

Ling Youyao nodded, and when she put down Tang and was about to get up and leave, she suddenly saw everyone's eyes on her——

What is this for?
Could it be that she spoke too loudly and was heard?
Just when she was wondering, Fu Xiuyun, who was seated in the seat, said: "Zi Lin, I was just about to ask you what kind of prize you want tomorrow, but I was surprised to see the two of you chatting happily. , when facing Madam, she will also speak in such a soft voice."

As soon as this remark came out, many ministers present also laughed and echoed, saying that King Jing is in love with Ling Qingwei, and now it seems that he is also good to Ling Youyao.

Regarding this, Fu Mingjue didn't have any special expression on his face. He nodded and said: "The lottery is just for auspiciousness. All your majesty's bestowments are God's grace. No matter what it is, I am very grateful."

With a smile on his face, Fu Xiuyun said: "I just rewarded you with a South Sea coral today, and you have to give others a chance to hunt tomorrow."

Although this was a joke, some generals were unconvinced and said boldly, "My lord, you don't have to be merciful. Only by surpassing you with real ability is called greatness!"

When he said this, his military commanders all posted words one after another, all of them gearing up and fighting with high spirits.

The ladies of the noble families were also very emotional when they heard it, but they were not happy to compete with Fu Mingjue, but to see his galloping gallop.

Su Lingxi, who was sitting opposite, heard this, and her eyes lit up involuntarily.

Lingling didn't notice her abnormality, she lowered her head and stirred the broth in the bowl, not knowing what she was thinking.

Ling Youyao looked at the excited faces of the crowd, subconsciously looked at Fu Mingjue, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, why did His Majesty reward you today?"

She didn't believe that Fu Xiuyun had such kindness.

Fu Mingjue thought about it carefully, and said, "Probably he is in a bad mood."

"." It was the first time she saw the emperor in a bad mood, and he liked to give things away.

At this time, Fu Xiuyun looked over again, "Zi Lin, when you enter the paddock tomorrow, don't bring me another rabbit. The queen mother's birthday is coming soon, and she is still waiting for you to hunt a tiger skin for her old man to make a mat."

rabbit?

Ling Youyao stared at Fu Mingjue suspiciously, didn't she say she picked it up?

Feeling her burning gaze, Fu Mingjue squeezed her hand under the table, and said to Fu Xiuyun: "Your Majesty will be satisfied tomorrow, following the order."

Fu Xiuyun noticed the small movements between him and Ling Youyao, and the smile in his eyes deepened, "I didn't understand why you wanted to catch a rabbit, but now I understand."

Before he finished speaking, Jin Meiren beside him couldn't help asking: "What does Your Majesty understand?"

Fu Xiuyun was not angry either, and said with a smile: "I guess it's probably because the princess likes rabbits, that's why Zi Lin caught the rabbits and brought them back."

When Jin Meiren heard this, she felt envious, "The prince is really kind to the princess."

The female relatives present looked at Ling Youyao with envy.

What women in the world want is nothing more than a couple for a lifetime. This wish seems simple, but in today's world, few people can realize it, let alone in the ruthless royal family?

How can people not be envious of this kind of friendship?

Ling Youyao's mind moved slightly, but she heard Fu Mingjue say: "The rabbit was indeed picked up by this king." He picked it up next to the corpse.

He didn't say the latter sentence, for fear of scaring Ling Youyao.

Ling Youyao didn't think much about it, whether he caught it or picked it up, it was her rabbit now.

Fu Xiuyun looked at Fu Mingjue's soft brows and eyes from afar, envious but also disgusted.

He envied that he could find a sincere person in the royal family full of scheming and scheming, but he hated that Fu Mingjue's sincerity was not for him.

Remembering that none of the people sent to test today survived, the smile in Fu Xiuyun's eyes faded a little, and he didn't speak any more.

The finally lively atmosphere condensed with Fu Xiuyun's silence. The ministers looked at each other, clinked glasses with fake smiles, and took the opportunity to ask in a low voice: "What is your Majesty thinking of?"

The other party shook his head silently, and said silently: It's hard to guess the holy will.

Pei Ce, who was sitting at the end of the banquet, shook the wine cup absently, looking at the smiling girl in the distance, feeling envious in his heart.

Ji Shuyu who was beside him saw him and elbowed him: "Huanzhi, if you get confused this time, your elder brother will come over from Liangzhou tomorrow and beat you up."

Perhaps because he felt that the threat was not strong enough, he added: "Let's not talk about your elder brother, King Jing will beat you up immediately so you can't get out of bed."

Thinking of Fu Mingjue, Pei Ce's hand holding the wine cup trembled slightly. He was beaten up by Fu Mingjue last time, and his waist still hurts now!
If it wasn't for His Majesty's intention to summon his father this time, he wouldn't have traveled all the way to Futai Mountain to participate in the autumn hunting.

"I know, you don't need to tell me."

"I hope you really know," Ji Shuyu withdrew his hand, and asked again, "By the way, why didn't Brother Liang come this time?"

Mentioning Liang Wenyao, Pei Ce's gaze became more serious, and he said, "Brother Liang caught a cold a few days ago, and the doctor told him to take a good rest, that's why he didn't come this time."

Ji Shuyu leaned back lazily, and said, "I still wanted to compete with him, but it's a pity that he didn't come."

Pei Ce didn't answer any more, just staring at the wine in his glass in a daze.

The banquet continued, and after more than half an hour, Ling Youyao couldn't bear it any longer, and got Fu Mingjue's permission before returning to the camp with Yinzhu and Zilan.

Just as she was about to go in, someone behind her suddenly stopped her: "You Yao, can we talk?"

——It's Ling Ling.

Ling Youyao turned to look at her, with a slight smile on her face: "Cousin, do you have anything to do with me?"

After learning that Lingling had lived in Duke Yuguo's mansion, she understood what Fu Mingjue meant when he said that someone brought Lingling to participate in the autumn hunt.

Although they were not sure why Su Lingxi brought Ling Ling to the Futai paddock, both of them felt bad in their hearts, and they didn't need to think about it to know that it was not a good thing.

Looking at her peaceful smile, Lingling's eyes were filled with frost, she smiled and said: "It's windy here, why don't we go in and talk?"

"Okay." Ling Youyao readily agreed.

Afterwards, the two entered the camp together.

Lingling secretly looked at the furnishings inside, and finally sat down opposite Ling Youyao, with a bit of arrogance in her eyes: "Aren't you curious why I came here?"

"I was really surprised to see my cousin here," Ling Youyao poured her a cup of hot tea, "Although I know that my cousin and Miss Su are on good terms, I didn't expect her to bring you to Mount Futai."

Lingling hated her smiling face very much, as if all the darkness in her heart had been peeled off layer by layer and exposed to the sunlight.

There are no outsiders here, so Ling Ling simply stopped pretending, sneered, and said, "If you don't help me, someone else will help me."

"When my father was in trouble, your father just stood by and watched, and you treated me coldly when I was driven out of the palace that day! I am a sister who is connected by blood with you, but you let me be driven out?"

"Ling Youyao, your father is cold-blooded, and you are even colder!"

She spoke convincingly, denouncing Ling Youyao's "evil deeds", and completely regarded herself as a victim, but forgot that today's results were all caused by her own causes.
