Chapter 105: Triumphant

When Qi Yang and Lu Qipei returned to the camp, it was just past noon.
This hour is already very early, after all, there are many autumn hunters who want to make their mark. At this moment, they are still hunting in the forest hunting ground. Only some civil servants who didn't care about the result, just joined in the fun and shot two rabbits and pheasants, and they came back before lunch.
Qi Yang's return was not sooner or later, and he avoided the civil servants who came back before lunch, and was far ahead of the others. The return of the group seemed a little maverick, which inadvertently attracted the attention of many people. Then when they saw their prey on horseback-the tiger-many people's eyes widened by surprise.
When the emperor got the news, Qi Yang and the others were already surrounded by a group of feather forests. The young man didn't think much about it, pointing around the tiger, most of them were very excited, and even looked at Lu Qipei and others with envy.
However, the emperor and the few veterans who accompanied him obviously did not think so. They were still drinking tea in the tent, but no one cared when Princess Qiyang came back. At most, the emperor ordered someone to prepare meals for the princess. It wasn't until later that the princess and the horseman had hunted back a big worm, and everyone changed their faces.
Seeing the arrival of the emperor and important officials at this moment, the Yulin who surrounded Qi Yang and the others immediately retreated and bowed to salute again.
Qi Yang, Lu Qipei and others were also busy saluting the emperor. When the emperor saw this, he helped Qi Yang up and asked: "I heard that you hunted big worms. Where did the emperor hurt the beasts?"
He asked eagerly, Qi Yang's heart warmed, and hurriedly replied: "Thank you Father for your concern, your son is fine."
While speaking, the emperor also looked Qi Yang up and down. Seeing that she was completely clean, she breathed a sigh of relief. Turning to think of other people, he raised his hand and called Mengli, his eyes fell on Lu Qipei and the grandson beside her.
The emperor was a little surprised. He let go of Qi Yang and asked, "How can Aqi be with you?"
The eldest grandson heard the words and explained: "Going back to the emperor's grandfather, it was the grandson who met the tiger in the forest. He had not enough attendants and could only retreat. Fortunately, I met my aunt on the road. Only then could it be preserved. I was afraid that the hunting ground would be in danger again, so I followed my uncle and aunt back."
The emperor nodded after hearing this, and agreed with him: "It is very true. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Since the hunting ground is out of danger, it is indeed not appropriate to stay for a long time." After he finished speaking, he said to Zhang Jian next to him: "Go and give instructions. Yu Lin, let them call back everyone in the hunting ground."
Things are still getting bigger, and the eldest grandson is a little uneasy.
Qi Yang was also afraid that the emperor would anger the prince, so he stepped forward and took his arm and smiled: "Father, the child has hunted the tiger, and this autumn hunting will definitely be the top spot. I don't know what reward the emperor has prepared this year?" He sighed as if it was a pity: "Sister Nanping also suggested to take a test before, but I was not interested at that time. I had already compared it with them before I knew it, and I will definitely win this time."
The emperor's original heavy heart also relaxed a little under the daughter's gag, he clicked her helplessly, and smiled: "You, I really don't know how to be afraid, but I was frightened by you."
Qi Yang blinked innocently, and still smiled: "Why is there anything terrible? Both the horse and the attendants are very powerful. Even Aqi shot the big bug with an arrow. It didn't even touch the corner of the child's skirt. What is the minister afraid of?"
When the emperor heard that the consort had taken protection, he only took it for granted. But when Qi Yang talked about Changsun shooting a tiger, he showed two points of appreciation on his face. Looking back at his grandson who has grown into a half-year-old, he can vaguely see the shadow of the prince’s childhood, and he feels more pity, patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Good boy, I don’t know. I feel that I am old enough to be responsible."
The eldest grandson is a concubine, and the prince and the prince concubine are very close, so his situation in the east palace is not too good. Even the emperor with Aiwu and Wu was normal to him. This was the first time he was praised by the emperor, and the young boy's eyes suddenly lit up.
The emperor looked amused, touched his head again, but taught: "A Qi dare to shoot a tiger at such an age. It is indeed courageous. But you are still young and there are attendants around. From now on, let them Go, don't take risks yourself."
Changsun respectfully saluted him, and the emperor changed hands and rewarded him with the dragon on his waist. In addition to his admiration for Changsun, the emperor's move was also intended to protect the East Palace. He first rewarded the prince's eldest son, which was an attitude. Although there was a mistake in the hunting grounds, anyone who wins should understand that they would not dare to bite the prince easily.
I don't know if the eldest grandson understands the meaning of this, he is always happy to receive the emperor's reward, and he cherishes it and puts it away.
However, Qi Yang understood the emperor's meaning, and completely let go of the heart that was originally slightly raised, and continued to hold the emperor's arm to act coquettishly: "The emperor is really partial. This is how you rewarded Aqi, the sons and the servants? We are also moving. Get it!"
The emperor looked at his daughter amusedly, and debunked her, "Didn't the emperor say that it was the hands of the servants and the servants. Didn't the big bug even touch your skirt? Why are you here to reward me now?"
Qi Yang was exposed, and turned away from his head, still acting like a baby girl.
The emperor hadn't seen her look like this for a long time, and the smile in his eyes was deeper. He slapped his daughter's arm with two false "both rewards", but walked towards the tiger corpse.
Thinking of the scene, Qi Yang subconsciously pulled the emperor.
The emperor seemed to understand her worries and couldn't help but smile, but his steps didn't stop. He is getting older, but the big and small things he has experienced in this life are far beyond what Qi Yang can compare, but a dead tiger, how could he be afraid?
Going a few steps closer to the horse carrying the tiger, the scene is indeed ugly. The tiger was soaked in blood, and because of his short death, there were still blood dripping on the ground. Especially looking at the tiger's head, both eyes were shot through, and the hollow look was even more terrifying. The old ministers who followed were mostly civil servants. Seeing this scene, they all bluffed and opened their eyes.
The emperor looked around the tiger with interest, and finally pointed to the tiger's eyes and said: "These two eyes are shot by a horseman, right? I heard that she is good in six arts, and her archery skills are also quite good."
Lu Qipei should be, without changing her face, but with a calm and calmness that is not commensurate with her thin body.
The emperor gave another two compliments before he turned around and returned. When he turned around, his eyes sank-unlike Qi Yang who had never seen a real tiger, the emperor had hunted tigers when he was young, but this tiger was obviously better than normal. The size is bigger by three points!
Is it really just an accident or coincidence that such a tiger evaded guards and broke into the hunting ground? !
Don't look at Qi Yang pretending to be calm and calm in front of the emperor, but in fact, she was really a little frightened in today's scene. Even though she had made preparations for the uneven hunting grounds, she thought at best that there were assassins, but she didn't expect to face the colorful tigers.
Twenty-odd people were entangled in the face of the tiger for a while, and many people were injured. If there are fewer people...
Qi Yang didn't dare to think deeply, she didn't even dare to think about the consequences if the eldest grandson hadn't met them-the young boy was lost in a tiger's mouth, but the patrol arranged by the prince himself broke her parents and children. Yu Si, it is almost self-evident how hard this was to the prince who was a father. Yu Gong, with such a mistake, the crown prince's prestige among hundreds of officials will inevitably be frustrated.
Fortunately, they were hit by them in this round, and nothing irreparable happened.
Qi Yang's fingertips were still a little cold. Lu Qipei took the opportunity to hand over a cup of hot tea to her, and sat down next to her to soothe him: "It's okay, luckily I ran into it. Next time, I will remind the Prince to be more careful."
The warm heat through the tea cup warmed Qi Yang's somewhat chilly hands. She let out a long breath, took a sip with her teacup, and said: "A thousand days to guard against thieves is not a long-term strategy."
Lu Qipei smiled when he heard the words, and he also held a cup of hot tea to drink: "His Royal Highness thought that the prince would be the one who is waiting to die?"
This is not true, Qi Yang trusts her emperor brother. But the prince knew that it was too late, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with it in a hurry. What's more, Xie Yuan was in Beirong. Even if the prince wanted to target this main messenger, he would be powerless for a while.
This topic is heavy, and in the end, for the sake of atmosphere, the two of them didn't mention it much. I only planned to wait for the prince to return from the hunting grounds before asking him what he thought.
The emperor had ordered the meal to be prepared, and after the two returned to the tent to wash and calm down, the palace staff also delivered lunch.
The two used it at will, and then they left the camp, and they saw people coming back from the hunting ground one after another.
Most people had a mediocre harvest, including the few princesses who vowed this morning. At this time, the prey on the saddle of the servants is limited. The princesses were very dissatisfied with the sudden recall, and obviously felt that the sudden edict had affected their performance.
Until they saw Qi Yang and Lu Qipei walking out of the tent...
Nanping also came back. Her consort is worthy of being a military commander. Even if she was recalled in advance, she still returned with a full load. At this moment, she was a little proud of her victory, and when she saw Qi Yang who had returned early, she led her horse forward. She didn't say anything, she rode a horse around in front of Qi Yang, so that she could see the two beautifully-fured Firefox hanging behind her saddle and the deer on the side of the horse.
This time the hunting ground was cleaned up by the prince. Almost all the beasts were hunted and expelled in advance, so the Firefox and deer can be regarded as top-grade prey. In particular, Nanping's archery skills are quite good. Both Firefox have shooting eyes, with very small wounds and complete fur, which is even more rare.
Nanping was proud to show off, the others did not step forward, but they also stood far away to watch the excitement.
Qi Yang raised his eyebrows. Before saying anything, he saw an attendant running over and asked in a modest voice: "Your Majesty, the other prey has been dealt with. It's the big worm. I don't know how to deal with it?"
The attendant was too clever, Qi Yang subconsciously turned his head to look at Lu Qipei, who blinked gently at her.
A smile suddenly appeared in Qi Yang's eyes, but he still pretended to be inadvertent and said: "Let people handle it carefully, and see where there is a suitable place to dedicate to your Majesty. The rest will be sent to the East Palace."
The attendant listened to the order and responded respectfully, completing the task and leaving quietly.
The Nanping people who stayed behind to hear the dialogue had their eyes widened in disbelief.
