marriage gentleman

Chapter 29

Yun Zhen asked Fenix ​​to keep an eye on Su Chengyu's wing in the dark, and report to him if there was any movement.Fennel didn't dare to disobey, so she had no choice but to follow suit, watching for a whole day, and towards evening, the door that had been closed tightly was finally opened.

Su Chengyu looked around and left quickly when he saw no one.

Fennel hurried back and told Yun Zhen.

Yun Zhen listened and immediately followed.Fenix ​​and Fenbi originally wanted to go with them, but Yun Zhen didn't want to, so they had to stay resentfully.

Su Chengyu walked out of the back door of Nanfengxuan.

Yun Zhen was surprised, and followed immediately.I saw Su Chengyu walking towards a remote place, gradually passing through a bush, and the figure disappeared very quickly.

Yun Zhen also hurried through the bushes.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his footsteps stepped into the bushes, a black figure sprang out quickly, it was Su Chengyu himself.Yun Zhen was taken aback and took a while to recover.

"you……"

Su Chengyu scolded in a low voice: "What are you following me for?"

Yun Zhen subconsciously wanted to say "Take off your pants", but under Su Chengyu's dark complexion, he swallowed his thoughts and said seriously: "I saw that Brother Su is sneaky, so I just want to follow up and have a look what are you going to do."

Su Chengyu said: "I'm going out for a walk to digest food, so don't follow me anymore."

After walking five or six steps, he heard light and heavy footsteps behind him again. Such poor tracking really gave him a headache, and he couldn't think of how to get rid of him for a while, so he sighed heavily and stopped.

He turned around, just in time to see Yun Zhen fluttering like a frightened bird into the bushes on one side.The corner of his mouth trembled, and he said, "Don't hide, come out."

Yun Zhen walked out dejectedly, coughed heavily, and said again: "I just think the scenery here is beautiful..."

Su Chengyu said: "You can go with me, but you have to promise me that when the time comes, you will hide behind the bushes, and you are not allowed to make a sound, and you are not allowed to come out."

Yun Zhen rolled her eyeballs and said, "Okay, I will obediently hide behind and say nothing."

Su Chengyu sighed.

"Let's go."

The two walked for a while, Su Chengyu turned out of the bushes and walked straight to the imperial garden.After arriving at the imperial garden, he stepped into the path again, walked for a while, and then stopped.

Yun Zhen stopped and looked around, and not far away was Hanqiu Lake.

Maybe it's late autumn, and the waterside pavilion on the lake in Hanqiu is empty, which is quite cold.Su Chengyu said at this time: "You just wait here, don't run around."

Yun Zhen nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Su Chengyu walked quickly towards the water pavilion.Yun Zhen looked over, and happened to see a moon-white figure.He rubbed his eyes, and it took him a while to confirm that he had read correctly.

It was the man next to Qi Guang, Lu Shilang Lu Li.

He couldn't help but startled.

I saw the two people in the waterside chatting happily, and even Yun Zhen here could see the smile on Su Chengyu's face.He frowned, feeling displeasure suddenly in his heart, for no reason he actually hated Lu Li a little bit, he always felt that there was another person who robbed him of his elder brother hastily.

On the other side, Su Chengyu and Lu Li soon left the waterside pavilion.

As soon as Lu Li left, Yun Zhen hurriedly ran towards Su Chengyu.He said: "Are you very familiar with Lu Shilang?"

Su Chengyu walked and said: "I'm not familiar with you, I just asked Minister Lu to do things. The hunting day is approaching, and the number of people who can participate in the hunting is limited, and this year His Majesty does not seem to have the intention to bring anyone there. Minister Lu is very favored. With him It is not difficult to bring someone along with a few good words in His Majesty's ear."

But Yun Zhen said: "You are just a young master accompanying your majesty, but Lu Li is an official of the court and your majesty's fiancée. Why should he help you?"

Su Chengyu smiled and said: "There are so many things you don't understand. I have been with His Majesty for three years. Although I am only a meal companion, I know the news of Your Majesty the most clearly."

Yun Zhen asked, "Why do you want to go hunting in that Lao Shizi so much?"

Su Chengyu said: "Hunting every year is one of the great events of my week. It would be a pity if I can't go to watch such a lively event." Lu Li mentioned Su Chengyu to Qi Guang that night.

Qi Guang was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and said: "It turned out to be him. Today Jiang Dezhong told the widow that he saw you talking with someone at the waterside pavilion on Hanqiu Lake, but it's hard to see who it is from a distance."

The water in the Ningqing Pond was dense, Qi Guang took a handful of water and patted his face, Fang smiled and said: "I don't know that you are so close to the son of Nanfengxuan, and you can even say a few words of kindness to him."

Lu Li glanced at the jade-colored skin looming under the water, slightly shifted his gaze, and said, "Su Chengyu helped me before, so I'll help him once."

Qi Guang said: "For your sake, bring Su Chengyu with you, anyway, there are only a few people." After a pause, she said again: "However, it would be unfair to bring only one person, let's bring Yun Zhen too, and then Go to Hongxiu Pavilion and pick two beauties as well, they just make up two pairs."

As if thinking of something, she said again: "The day before yesterday Ah Qing took office in your household department, right?"

Lu Li said: "He has adapted very well. He already has a great talent. After a long time, I am afraid that the Ministry of Household Affairs will not be able to keep him."

Qi Guang glanced at Lu Li, saw that his face was normal, Fang said: "Actually, it's all the fault of the widow. At the beginning, he delayed his career by being impulsive. But now he has made up for it. Fortunately, he never resented the widow."

After finishing speaking, she yawned and walked slowly out of the Ningqing Pool.

Lu Li brought a soft towel and wrapped it around her.Stepping on the wet jade floor with his toes, Qi Guang slipped without paying attention, but fortunately Lu Li was by his side and helped her in time.

As a result, Qi Guang didn't bother to leave, he just put his arms around Lu Li's neck and said, "I'm tired."

Lu Li chuckled and hugged Qi Guang horizontally.

Seeing this, the palace people waiting outside all lowered their heads.Ningqing Pond is only half a quarter of an hour away from Chengqian Palace. The palace lanterns are shining on the promenade, the man's toga has big sleeves, the woman's black hair is hanging down in his arms, the palace lanterns are swaying, and the ground is full of stars.Two days later, Qi Guang woke up early in the morning.

Today is the first day of hunting, and it takes about an hour to go to Buqiu Mountain from the palace. In previous years, people start from the palace before dawn, and this year is no exception.

When Qi Guang arrived at Mount Buqiu, it happened to be Chenshi.

Qi Guang got off the carriage.

The morning sun was slightly dazzling, and she squinted her eyes.A crowd of civil and military officials had arrived, and she saw Lu Li standing among the crowd at the first sight, standing out from the crowd like a chicken.Or maybe it was because she had something to worry about in her heart. Even though there were so many people, she still saw him at the first sight.

The second thing she saw was Zhou Muqing standing behind Lu Li.

Because it was against the sun, she couldn't see his expression clearly.She quickly looked away and landed on Qi Xuan who was in the front row.She smiled and said: "The emperor lost to the widow last year, so don't lose again this year."

Qi Xuan frowned and said: "Your Majesty's archery skills are superb, and my disciples can't match them."

Seeing this, Qi Guang didn't say much, just said a few opening remarks casually, and ordered Jiang Dezhong to fetch the bow and arrow.She rode forward, just in time to see a bird in the tree, and shot it down casually.

According to the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor shot all the first arrows, which marked the prelude to the three-day and two-night hunt.

Every year, the opening ceremony is a competition of equestrian skills between civil and military officials, and the winner will be rewarded.Qi Guang does not participate in the equestrian competition, she and some civil servants are waiting for the winner at the finish line.

When the equestrian competition started, Qi Guang leisurely sat in front of the food table, sipping fragrant tea leisurely.

Jiang Dezhong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I think Lu Shilang is good at equestrian skills. This year, Lu Shilang may be the one who gets the first prize."

Qi Guang glanced at him, but said with a smile: "It can't be him."

Jiang Dezhong was startled.

Qi Guang smiled leisurely again: "No one will be him." She did not forget what he said - riding a horse is a fun thing, and riding with someone you like is better than winning the first prize?
Jing Heng is a bit of a coquettish person sometimes, but it's just what she wants.

Jiang Dezhong said again: "Who does Your Majesty think will win the championship this year?"

Qi Guang thought for a while and said, "I guess it's Murong Cheng again." Before she ascended the throne, in the hunts held by her mother every year, Murong Cheng won three out of five equestrian competitions. For the past three years, Murong Cheng has almost taken the top spot. Presumably this time, if there is no accident, it should be him.

Murong Cheng has won for so many years, and his desire to win has never diminished. Moreover, Murong Cheng is a wealthy person, thinking that Murong Cheng will scrape off a large amount of money every year in hunting, she feels very distressed.

Sure enough, Qi Guang soon saw the first person to reach the finish line, none other than Murong Cheng.

Her heart trembled.

"It really is Murong Qing, the sword of Murong Qing's family is not old yet."

Murong Cheng smiled proudly, and said: "Thank you for your praise, the old minister can win another ten years."

About half an hour later, the contestants came one after another.In the past, Qi Guang never noticed when Lu Li arrived, but now when she saw it, she couldn't help but smile.

Jing Heng is very cunning, mixing among a group of people, quite low-key, no wonder she didn't notice him a few years ago.Just at this time, Lu Li raised his head and looked at her from afar.

Seeing the smile in his eyes, Qi Guang suddenly thought of that sentence again - wouldn't it be better to win the championship if you can ride with someone you like?

It's just that this ride is not the same ride.

Qi Guang's heart felt itchy immediately, and he looked at Murong Cheng kindly.

"What reward does Murong Qing's family want this year?"

Qi Guang had people prepare the money this year, and he just waited for Murong Cheng to speak.Only Murong Cheng said: "Your Majesty, I have nothing else to ask for this year, but this year my daughter has reached the age of marriage, I hope His Majesty can suggest a marriage for my daughter."

This remark was beyond Qi Guang's expectation.

She looked towards the female relatives, Murong Dang had a graceful figure, Qi Guang couldn't help but be moved when he lowered his eyes and smiled slightly.Just when she was about to say "yes", she suddenly noticed something.

Murong Dang shyly followed her gaze.

Qi Guang met his younger brother, Qi Xuan.
