The Tartar envoys arrived, and the emperor asked the prince to return to Beijing to receive him under the pretext of being unwell. After two days, the envoys were transferred to the palace. There was no way. This time the Tartars came to amend the treaty, hoping to reduce the annual tribute. Neither the Ministry of Rites nor the Crown Prince can decide the major events, but can only talk to the Emperor.

   And the envoys also wanted to know how ill the emperor of Great Chu was, whether he was going to die.

   So they came. After seeing the emperor, all the members of the envoys were very disappointed. The emperor of Da Chu was still able to walk and eat, and his face was still rosy, and he didn't look like someone who was about to die.

Because of the arrival of the envoys, Li Baolu and the others have enriched their meat dishes. There are only two meat dishes on weekdays, but these days there are three dishes, and the types of meat have also increased. This morning, there are rabbit meat, chicken and roe deer meat. Chicken was replaced with venison.

It is said that the way the Tatar envoys communicated with the Great Chu was hunting. Every morning they rode fast horses and went to the nearby hunting grounds to hunt. They could not only exchange feelings but also compete. Naturally, the stewards handed over to the palace are assigned to each courtyard to digest.

   directly reduces the living cost of the palace, and saves a lot of money for the emperor. Of course, if you don't go to see the cubs that will be released to the hunting grounds in the early spring.

As the main hall where the emperor lives, the prey allocated is naturally the best quality, which is directly cheaper for Li Baolu, who lives in a small courtyard in the side hall near the main hall. It is quite.

Gu Jingyun felt that after eating like this, his little lady would definitely become a little fat man. When he was hesitating whether to limit her meat volume, Director Su personally came to see them with a few sets of clothes and said, "Da Chu and Ta The Tartars are going to hunt in the hunting grounds, and if the Tartars win, His Majesty will promise them to reduce the annual tribute by 30%, and His Majesty will accompany Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu."

  Li Baolu's heart was pounding, and she said worriedly: "Your Majesty doesn't want my husband to participate, right?"

   Director Su twitched the corners of his mouth and said solemnly, "Your Majesty is not a child's play." Let Gu Jingyun participate? Can he run a horse with his small body?

  Li Baolu: Strange, is there anyone in this world who is more playful than today?

  Gu Jingyun chose the lightest one among several sets of dresses. He knew that the result that the emperor said would be most likely to come out today, otherwise he would not let them out.

  Li Baolu also chose lighter dresses, because they had to accompany the emperor, so it was not difficult to bring weapons. In fact, they didn't have any weapons on them, and they were all searched when they entered the palace.

  Li Baolu was very self-aware and did not let Director Su return it.

   This hunting competition was very grand. The imperial guards and the palace people went to the hunting ground one day in advance to prepare, set up tents, and take security measures.

It has been nearly a month since the Tatar envoys came to Beijing, and their demands still did not get any progress. This time the emperor let go and made them excited. The warriors patted their chests and the five princes who led the team said that they would definitely defeat Da Chu and win the championship. .

   When Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu appeared behind the emperor, everyone was surprised. Da Chu was surprised that the emperor was willing to let Gu Jingyun out. They thought the emperor would put Gu Jingyun under house arrest for a lifetime;

The Tatar embassy was surprised because in the past month, they have compared with the princes and grandsons of Great Chu, with the second generation of officials of Great Chu, and with the guards. Everyone is confused. They had a familiar face, but they had never seen Gu Jingyun.

   This man is so handsome that even the fifth prince of Tartar couldn't help but look at Gu Jingyun twice, completely ignoring the little fat girl beside him.

  Li Baolu quietly stood beside Gu Jingyun with her head lowered, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible, but out of the corner of her eyes, she quickly glanced at the audience, focusing on the Tartar envoys.

  The emperor chose to let them out at this time, and she wouldn't believe it if it had nothing to do with this group of Tartars.

  The emperor sat on the dragon chair, looked down at the two teams, and said, "This competition is divided into three days, and the final result is based on the total score of the three days."

  The emperor waved his hand, and someone immediately unfolded a large piece of paper, and two other attendants presented a booklet to the captains of the two teams, "This is the score that can be obtained from the prey, which is calculated according to the difficulty level."

  The players on Dachu's side can understand it at a glance, because this is the rule of the major academies, and the players from the academy can understand it at a glance.

The envoys of the    Tartars were a little confused at first, but they understood when they opened the booklet, because the booklet was simple and clear.

The prey you hit can be converted into score statistics. For example, a rabbit is scored two points, a pheasant is one and a half points, and a roe deer is twenty points. A tiger can only get two thousand points, and a bear is two thousand eight hundred points. point.

   contains all the animals, all are counted by points, and the winner will be determined by points after three days.

In order to ensure fairness, the arrows used by both sides are specially made, and each of them is also marked. During this period, no one except the team members of the game is allowed to enter the hunting ground, so the prey has to be dragged out by themselves. The referees only count the prey that is dragged out.

   And in the mountains, there are also referees in red coats to prevent someone from cheating inside.

   After confirming that both parties understand the rules, they mounted their horses and rushed into the hunting grounds after there was no objection.

But in the game of entering the mountain, both sides were not in a hurry to go hunting, but ran into the mountain together. The fifth prince was still in the mood to ask the team members on the side of Dachu, "Who is the beauty who was beside His Majesty just now, why have I never Have you seen him?"

   Tao Wu, who was asked, was depressed, is there a beauty with the emperor? Why is he not impressed?

   The fifth prince wouldn't say Concubine Lan, right?

   She is beautiful, but how can she be beautiful when she is in her forties?

  Wei Yingjie coughed lightly and said, "The fifth prince is talking about Master Gu? He is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and only arrived at the imperial palace today."

   Tao Wu was shocked, looked at Wei Yingjie in disbelief, and then turned to look at the Fifth Prince.

   The fifth prince sighed, "It turned out to be a talented person, and I don't know if I can make friends with one or two."

  Tao Wu twitched the corners of his mouth and turned his head away without speaking, but Wei Yingjie smiled and said, "Although Master Gu is arrogant, he has a good temperament. If his temperament is right, even beggars will invite him to sit and lie down together."

   That's weird, Tao Wu said with a sullen face, Gu Jingyun has a habit of cleanliness. When they escaped before, he was so poor that he paid attention to how to keep it clean every day. How could he sit and lie down with the beggar?

   Even if their grandson wanted to sit with him, he disliked him. Except for the little fat girl, he had never seen him have physical contact with others.

   The fifth prince was very yearning, and waved his whip: "Then I have to win faster, or I can visit as soon as possible."

   Wei Yingjie laughed and said, "The Fifth Prince, don't worry, if you lose, I will also introduce you, I will never let you see the beauty."

  The fifth prince had already run away with his subordinates, and replied from a distance, "I won't lose!"

  Tao Wu said with a wooden face: "It's best to keep this from Gu Jingyun for a lifetime, otherwise you don't want to sit on his chair and drink his tea."

   Wei Yingjie glanced at him and said, "Then will you tell him?"

  Tao Wu was silent, Wei Yingjie swept the team members behind him again, "Do you know what to say?"

   Everyone shook their heads one after another. They were not familiar with Gu Jingyun, so of course they would not say these words. Some people patted their chests and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wei, we will definitely not talk about it."

  Wei Yingjie glanced at Tao Wu proudly, and took the lead to ride the horse forward. When he entered the dense forest, he said, "Go forward in a fan shape, and pick the prey with the highest score."

"Yes!"

  The team members rushed into the dense forest like tigers descending from the mountain. After a while, many birds flew out of the forest, obviously they were very frightened by these people.

  The emperor was sitting on a dragon chair with an umbrella cover standing beside it, and the maids were playing fans, eating fruits, drinking tea, and admiring the green mountains and waters, which was extremely comfortable.

   Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu, who were standing beside them, were sweating profusely.

Fortunately, the emperor had no intention of torturing them, and as soon as they left, he pointed to the desk seat beside him and said, "Sit down and wait, it will take a long time for them to come out. You can play elsewhere if you are bored. Just don't go too far, lest you get caught by a tiger."

   is very pleasant, like an elder admonishing the younger generation.

   But Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu didn't dare to move, how could the emperor let them go? Before today, they were locked in the yard and couldn't take a step.

   But it's okay to sit down. Gu Jingyun took Li Baolu to thank him, and sat down on the right side of the emperor, opposite Concubine Lan Gui, whose status seemed to be more noble than that of His Royal Highness.

   All the ministers froze in their hearts, some were surprised, some were happy for Gu Jingyun, and some were gritted their teeth with hatred in private.

   Gu Jingyun didn't care at all, inserted a piece of fruit with a wooden signature and handed it to Li Baolu, who was kneeling one step behind him, and said in a low voice, "Eat some fruit first, then drink tea later."

  Li Baolu took the fruit and ate it obediently.

The emperor couldn't help looking at the two of them and thought, saying that Li Baolu was well-behaved, but she was able to speak ill of him behind his back, and she was also tough on Gu Jingyun in private; he said she was pungent, but she always pretended to be quail outside, Gu Jingyun asked her to do what she did. What, she's so cute; she said she was timid, but she dared to mess around in front of him, and defended Gu Jingyun, as if she was not seeing the emperor, but an ordinary person; saying she was timid, but she was able to scare herself, Weeping and begging him not to kill them...

The emperor    said that the current children are changing too fast, and he cannot understand them.

   But what he couldn't understand more was Gu Jingyun. After the incident, he had been very calm, as if the crime of deceiving the king was not a crime, not to mention begging for mercy, not even a single word of defense.

   It seems that he can accept whether he is arrested or imprisoned, but if he is like this, how can he go to great lengths to rehabilitate Qin Xinfang without sacrificing means?

   But the emperor could not see a trace of anxiety in his eyes. The emperor admired him, but was even more afraid of him.

  The emperor turned to look at the prince and grandson again. The prince was drinking tea with his head down, but the grandson raised the teacup to respect Gu Jingyun, while Gu Jingyun raised his arm slightly and took a sip of tea.

  Emperor:...As expected of his grandson, he has the courage, knowing that he is now afraid of Gu Jingyun, but also daring to communicate with him.

  The emperor has forgotten that Gu Jingyun is now Li An's teacher. When students see the teacher, it is necessary to serve tea. This is to keep everything simple in front of the emperor, otherwise Li An will have to pour tea for Gu Jingyun himself.
