Resourceful beauty

Chapter 198 The Final Rivalry

"Today in the paddock, I saw King Yong, and he seemed to be in a bad mood, but the Seventh Prince beside him seemed excited, but what happened that I don't know about?"

In the evening, when Chu Yuan came back from outside, Fang Ruxuan beckoned him to sit on the side of the soft couch when she saw his tired face, knelt down behind him, kneaded his forehead and shoulders, and started chatting.

Chu Yuan smiled, and shook his head helplessly, "Sometimes, I really think he is just a child."

Fang Ruxuan was puzzled, Chu Yuan continued: "These days, except for those who participated in the hunting, he, King Xuan, and Lao Qicheng took people around the forest every day. You also know Lao Qi's temper. He loves to toss the most, and no one cares about him when he enters the paddock, so he just spread the toss. No, counting it for ten days, the prey of King Yong is less than the old seven, and it is not as good as the old seven, so he It’s because I’m trying my best to catch up in the next few days.”

Fang Ruxuan pursed her lips and snickered: Chu Yuan's evaluation is indeed correct.Such King Yong is like a child who wants to compete with his friends.

"Being an older brother is not as good as a younger brother. If you say it, you will still lose face. King Yong still has his reasons for thinking so."

Fang Ruxuan laughed.

Chu Yuan was noncommittal, sighed comfortably, closed his eyes and put his head on Fang Ruxuan's soft chest, enjoying her gentle service.

Seeing Chu Yuan like this, Fang Ruxuan felt a little distressed.

Said to be hunting, King Yong and others had a great time, but Chu Yuan followed Yao Wang to the paddock after getting up early every day, and at other times, he mostly dealt with government affairs in the study of Daying Palace. , I have to bring back the unfinished excerpts to Zhaohua Palace, and continue to read them after dinner.

Compared to when he was in the palace, he was much more busy.

"What are you thinking about?"

Chu Yuan opened his eyes at some point, and seeing Fang Ruxuan's slightly sad face, he seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of her nose and said, "Since I decided to fight for the reserve, I already know what a long and arduous road will be in the future. Now these are nothing. If it is me, I would rather all this happened a few years earlier, so that you don't have to suffer with me. "

"What kind of hardship is this? I'm enjoying myself..."

Fang Ruxuan rolled his eyes at him, and said softly: "If it had been a few years earlier, maybe we would not have met."

A few years ago, Chu Yuan was held hostage in Dayuan Capital, and Fang Ruxuan was in Jiangbei, so it was absolutely impossible for the two to have any intersection.

"No, we will definitely meet, know each other, and love each other, just like today..."

Chu Yuan said with certainty, his eyes filled with smiles.

It was the beginning of December, and the winter hunting was officially coming to an end. In the past few days, the movement in the paddock became more and more loud. Every time Fang Ruxuan went to the paddock, she could see the faces of the men who participated in the election were full of excitement and excitement. expect.

Thinking of going back to the palace soon, Fang Ruxuan was both happy and disappointed.

The happy thing is that everything will be on the right track, and Chu Yuan will no longer be as busy as here in the paddock, but the sad thing is that when he returns to the palace, he has to face those schemes hidden in the dark.

Although she has only been married for a month, now Fang Ruxuan has roughly figured out her situation.

In King Yao's palace, the two most respected women, Empress Dowager Lou and Queen Zhou, didn't like her. Moreover, deep down in her heart, there seemed to be jealousy and disgust, and this kind of emotion would be accompanied by the passage of time. getting more serious.Thinking about it, sooner or later, they will think about killing themselves and then quickly.

Therefore, for Chu Yuan and for herself, Fang Ruxuan must gain a firm foothold as soon as possible so that she and Chu Yuan can face all unknown dangers in the future.

Others, such as Chu Xiu, Concubine Yong and others, were naturally not a small threat. Fang Ruxuan could only take one step at a time, trying to defeat them one by one.

After thinking wildly for a while, she felt that the hall was a little stuffy. Fang Ruxuan got up and left the bedroom, stood under the veranda, looked at the gray sky, and looked forward to the coming New Year with Lilac Suye.

The courtyard door was pushed open, and Kapok strode in, walked up to Fang Ruxuan and whispered back, "His Highness brought two teams of guards into the hunting ground."

Evening was approaching, even those who entered the hunting ground in the afternoon were all on their way back. What was Chu Yuan bringing people into the hunting ground for now?
You must know that after dark, the danger in the hunting ground is several times higher than during the day.

Seeing Fang Ruxuan's expression of inquiry and concern, Mu Mian said concisely: "His Royal Highness King Yong has hunted back a lot of prey today. Among them is a fierce tiger, which seems to be encountered at the beginning of the hunting, and one is still alive. A breastfeeding tigress. His Highness met and told Gu Dahai that if there were tiger cubs in the forest, they might not be able to survive this winter, so he brought two teams of guards into the hunting ground."

"His Highness specifically told Gu Haihai to come back and report to the Crown Princess, saying that he knew the place, so he would go back quickly, so that the Crown Princess should not worry."

When Kapok continued to talk, Fang Ruxuan had already turned around and returned to the inner hall, put on the fox fur and planned to go to the hunting ground.

Unable to stop after thinking about it, Mu Mian shook his head at Ding Xiang and the others, and followed Fang Ruxuan out of Zhaohua Palace.

After waiting in Chu Yuan's tent for more than an hour, until the sky was completely dark and there was still no movement outside, Fang Ruxuan was a little restless.

Even at Dayu Palace, King Yao got the news and sent people to ask twice.

Chu Yuan didn't come back until Haishi was approaching.

Looking carefully, Fang Ruxuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Chu Yuan's body was dirty and had no scars, but she couldn't say a word of complaints.

Went to Dayu Palace to greet King Yao, and the two returned to Zhaohua Palace and entered the inner hall. They washed their hands and ate together. Chu Yuanfang said: "The day after tomorrow is the bonfire party. Set off to return to Beijing, pack up in these two days."

Fang Ruxuan nodded yes, and was about to speak, when Dexi and several maidservants exclaimed from the eaves outside, a large group formed under the curtain, and then two tiger cubs peeked out from under the curtain. Out of the head.

The golden pattern, the wet eyes, the two little guys are silly and indescribably cute.

He saw Chu Yuan at a glance, and the two tiger cubs ran to Chu Yuan's feet and lay down quietly.

Who says they are beasts and ignorant of human nature?But from their appearance at this moment, it was obvious that they recognized Chu Yuan.

Ding Xiang and the others who came in after him were stunned and stood in front of the door, not daring to go forward.

With a slight smile on Chu Yuan's face, he waved his hands at Ding Xiang and the others, and immediately, as if thinking of something, he raised his voice and ordered, "Bring a bowl of meat porridge."

The rice and meat have long been boiled and you can't tell the difference between you and me. The strong fragrance spreads out. The two tiger cubs, who have been hungry for most of the day, suddenly pounce on them with a big bowl of meat porridge. In the end, even the edge of the basin was licked clean.

When she raised her head, rice grains were still on her face, but her eyes were full of satisfaction.

Chu Yuan looked at it with a doting face, stretched out his hand, picked up the two little guys and put them on the round stool beside him, took a chicken leg from the plate on the table, and tore the meat into shreds to feed them.

The hall was extremely quiet, only the slight sound from the tiger cub's throat could be heard. Fang Ruxuan just watched quietly, and the resentment in her heart gradually disappeared.

With such patience and meticulousness, he will be a good father in the future, right?
In Fang Ruxuan's mind, such a thought suddenly popped up.

During the break, the situation came up again. The tiger cub who had been teased by Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan all night refused to leave. Dexi stepped forward to catch it. But that appearance made people laugh even more.

When they picked it up and walked out, the two little guys immediately stared at Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan with drooping eyebrows and eyes, and said "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" at the two little guys with drooping eyebrows, they stared at Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan with drooping eyebrows.

In the end, Chu Yuan waved his big hand, and the two tiger cubs stayed in the inner hall just like that, sleeping on the footrest beside their bed.

When Fang Ruxuan finished washing and went to bed, the two little guys were already sleeping soundly with their bellies on their stomachs.

The next day, when Chu Yuan went out, the two tiger cubs chased after each other. In the end, it was Fang Ruxuan who stopped them and took a colorful hydrangea from the embroidery basket. Having attracted their attention, the two little guys followed Fang Ruxuan closely all day long, and refused to stay away.

Thinking that they should follow her mother step by step, learn how to hunt, and dominate the forest in the future, Fang Ruxuan felt a little pity in her heart, and thinking of the stubborn King Yong, she couldn't help feeling a little resentful.

What Fang Ruxuan didn't expect was that for such a trivial matter, the speaker actually wrote several notebooks.In the excerpt, Chu Yuan was praised for his benevolence, and he also impeached King Yong for his unfaithful behavior.

At the bonfire party, the prince and concubine who appeared hand in hand became a hot topic of discussion that day because of the pair of tiger cubs behind them. No one mentioned the fierce tiger that King Yong tried his best to capture.

The results of half a month were all presented on this night. The top three warriors included young talents from aristocratic families, and unknown young men from poor families who suddenly broke through the siege. King Yao followed the old practice and gave great praise to the three of them. Although it is not stated clearly, the future of these three people is limitless.

It was followed by the poetry meeting mentioned by Chu Yuan. Naturally, there were also those who returned with full rewards.

This year's winter hunting, because of Chu Yuan's careful arrangements before, there were no casualties. At the end of the bonfire party, King Yao deliberately praised Chu Yuan.

Needless to say how ugly King Yong's face was, Fang Ruxuan only noticed that Lou Ya's gaze had passed Chu Yuan's injured left arm more than once throughout the night.
