In the mountains and forests outside Suyu Palace, the sound of golden drums continues,
The yellow-headed soldiers walked in a loose queue, shouting and shouting as they walked through it.
With their efforts, large groups of animals were driven out and ran across the open grassland.
In the grass, light cavalry were flying across the grass, and the sound of piercing the air could be heard endlessly. Dozens of young men rushed out almost at the same time, scrambling for prey.
"Vulgar!" Sima Yi sat next to Shao Xun, looking down through the gaps in the trees, and said, "I don't know how many young men are trying their best just to get into your eyes."
Shao Xun looked at his two daughters beside him and said with a smile, "It's useless in my eyes."
After hearing this, Fu Bao's face turned slightly red, but he still looked down with his big eyes wide open.
This location is wonderful and extraordinary. It is hidden by pines and cypresses, making it difficult for outsiders to notice, but it allows you to observe the young disciples from a high position.
Wang Huiwan sat next to her, with a cold expression and meticulous manner.
"Hui Wan, there is no one else here, isn't this tiring?" Shao Xun looked at his daughter and said helplessly.
Fu Bao sat there with a relaxed attitude, his chin resting on his hand and his eyes rolling around.
Hui Wan was extremely dignified, with her upper body straight and her hands clasped in front of her abdomen. She occasionally spoke to Fu Bao and even smiled without showing her teeth.
This daughter was "ruined" by Sima Yi!
Upon hearing Shao Xun's words, Wang Huiwan turned his head slightly and looked over in surprise.
"Your mother is not like this." Shao Xun said, "She is so overbearing. The princess has such a bad temper that she even dares to kick me."
Sima Yi couldn't hold himself any longer and pinched Shao Xun lightly.
Shao Xun shouted in pain.
Wang Huiwan was even more surprised.
Shao Xun sighed regretfully. He saw this child the least often. He had not held it a few times since he was a child. Now that he is older, it is not very convenient.
"Has Wang Yifu come to see you?" Shao Xun asked again.
"My uncle came here once," Wang Huiwan said.
During the Chinese New Year, she was also seventeen years old.
In name, she is the daughter of the Langya Wang family, but in fact she is the princess of the current dynasty, and her mother is a princess of the Jin Dynasty. In Wang Yifu's eyes, she is probably a rare commodity!
Shao Xun knew Wang Laoden's plan very well, but he was really crazy. Hui Wan's marriage was naturally decided by him as the father, not by Wang Yan.
"Don't listen to what Yifu said, good girl. He is old and confused." Shao Xun said: "Suyu Palace used to belong to you and your mother, and it will still belong to you and your mother from now on. Let's just hire a son-in-law."
Wang Huiwan lowered her head, her ears slightly red.
When Fu Bao heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at Suyu Palace, which had a quiet environment and a large area, and was quite envious.
Sima Yi felt warm in his heart.
This palace was given to her by Emperor Xi of Jin Dynasty. If Shao Xun didn't admit it, there was nothing he could do.
Shao Xun came closer and said, "Do you still remember the first time we met?"
Sima Yi raised her face and looked at him, smiling without saying a word.
"That was in the Wang Family Courtyard. You were sitting alone in the corridor and sulking." Shao Xun said.
"Wang Chuzhong endured his anger for half his life, and finally wanted to harm me." Even after many years, Sima Yi still has some emotional fluctuations when talking about this matter.
"Wang Dun was a loyal minister of the Jin Dynasty." Shao Xun said with a smile: "Before he died, he still thought about killing the traitors in the country, which made people cry for it."
As soon as these words came out, Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, as if he was no longer so worried about the past.
Revenge is revenge.
Although she didn't particularly like this man later on, at least he was kind to the two of them and cared enough about their daughter. He was not a princess, but better than a princess.
She seemed to have good luck in her life.
When she was young, she was the favorite daughter of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty. When she grew up, she married into the Langya Wang family. After middle age, she still had support, protection, and a child of her own.
At this point in life, what else do you want?
There was a burst of cheers from the foot of the mountain not far away.
The four of them looked for the sound and saw a white rabbit running among the grass and shrubs.
Several cavalrymen followed closely behind, fighting for each other and refusing to give in to each other.
White rabbit, this is auspicious. In front of it, other prey can be thrown away. If you can catch it alive, you will be the first one today.
However, it is not difficult to shoot a white rabbit to death, but it is extremely difficult to capture it alive.
Because of this, the rabbit is flexible in its movements. Although it is panicked and driven around by others, it still keeps walking.
Glyphs are not easy to capture.
Fu Bao stood up and smiled.
After holding up the hem of her skirt and walking quickly for a few steps, she called someone over.
After a while, a huge golden eagle was sent over.
Fu Bao tied the leather sheath on his hand, and the golden eagle fell down steadily.
"Go, Big Bird." Fu Bao stretched out his left hand, and the golden eagle soared into the sky and pounced down the mountain.
There were three knights left chasing the white rabbit, with a young man in white robe rushing the fastest. He reached out several times to catch it but didn't touch it.
There was the sound of horse hooves ahead, and several more horsemen were approaching.
The young noble disciples shouted loudly, their faces turned red, and they tried their best to make a crucial leap in their lives. To be honest, in this chase just now, someone had already been tricked.
The white rabbit was frightened by the new group of people and ran back again.
Huan Wen was overjoyed and secretly tossed it before going out. All five were black. Today is the day for me to have great luck!
Just as he was about to urge his horse forward, he saw a huge raptor swooping down at an astonishing speed. With a tight grip of its hook-like claws, it lifted the white rabbit up and flew into the sky.
Huan Wen was furious, raised his horned bow, and just made the gesture of picking up the bow and setting an arrow, but something moved in his heart, and he finally stopped.
Among the pines and cypresses, Fu Bao breathed a sigh of relief.
The "big bird" that survived the disaster flew back and trampled the white rabbit to the ground, already dead.
Shao Xun glanced at the young man in white and thought to himself that his mind was not spinning very slowly.
Sima Yi also looked at everyone down the mountain with a careful look, covered his mouth and smiled softly.
Wang Huiwan looked at the present seriously like a quiet student.
She heard from her mother that for this kind of thing, there is usually a rough list of candidates in advance, and this young man in white is probably one of them.
****
When the lanterns first came on, the hall was warm and the atmosphere was warm—actually a bit reserved.
Twenty or thirty carefully selected young men took their seats one after another, and after drinking several glasses of wine.
The accompanying Prime Minister Wang Yan, Situ Pei Miao, Taibao Pan Tao, Sikong Liu Han, Taiwei Yang Jiuzhi and others took turns to appear, taking the opportunity of talking and laughing to test everyone's human nature and talents.
There is a screen behind the side door of the main hall, which is slightly awkward.
Fu Bao took Hui Wan and sat behind him, listening attentively.
Fu Bao's face was flushed red, and with his white mink fur, he had the beauty of a child.
Before Shao Xun took his seat, he saw his daughter's appearance and looked at all the young officials and young officials in the audience. He suddenly felt something bad in his heart - he had raised a daughter who was eighteen or nineteen years old and was about to be "cheated" away!
However, it was difficult for Fu Bao to understand her old father's feelings. She was chatting with Hui Wan in a low voice now.
Hui Wan was helpless after being forcibly dragged over. She basically didn't speak and only listened, occasionally giving her own opinions.
"Chen seems to know that I am here, and has been secretly looking over here. Dreaming! I visit the brothel every three days.
I won't marry him."
"I've seen Kawase's bare buttocks before. It's so familiar. I'm sorry."
"Isn't Lu Xin studying martial arts in Liang County? He is two years younger than me. Who called him here?"
Fu Bao said while peeking.
"Lu Xin's father is your Majesty's protégé. It is inappropriate for Li to say that he is a generation below you." Wang Huiwan said suddenly.
Fu Bao was stunned. Is there such a thing? My father is too unscrupulous. Fortunately, I didn't fall in love with Lu Xin.
"I forgot the name of that person from the Yang Shizhong family——" Fu Bao turned his head again and murmured: "Too weak."
Wang Huiwan almost wanted to leave.
But at this moment, someone from the palace went around and secretly sent a stack of manuscripts behind the screen.
Wang Huiwan became interested again.
The two sisters put their heads together and watched carefully.
Just now, His Majesty was so happy that he ordered a poem to be written on the spot with the theme of winter hunting.
A group of young men who had performed well during the afternoon hunt now looked ugly and at a loss.
But the person who had been left behind to eat dust in the afternoon was now smiling and confident.
After everyone finished writing, they handed it in one by one. The important ministers commented on it before submitting it to the imperial court. Of course, a copy was also copied and sent to the two princesses.
"Why are there thousands of warriors and beasts at night? Who wrote this?" Fu Bao picked up a copy and burst out laughing.
"Keep your voice down." Wang Huiwan tugged on the talisman and said softly.
After finishing speaking, he also came over curiously. After reading it, he covered his mouth and said with a smile: "The writing is a bit plain."
"The hunting clothes are beautiful, the sleeves are bulging - they are so gorgeous that they make you lose your energy just looking at them." Fu Bao picked up another copy, and after reading it, he didn't even pay attention to the inscription and put it down directly.
"The rhetoric is okay, but the spirit is lacking. It would be better if it could be more murderous." Wang Huiwan took a look at it and commented.
Fu Bao flipped through several copies, and finally stopped and looked at them carefully.
Wang Huiwan took a look at it and said: "Hunting birds and beasts is better than hunting virtuous people, and driving away tigers and wolves is better than driving away barbarians. He also said that hunting in winter is not worthy of praise, but only by slaying the stone swallows is the merit. This magnanimity and artistic conception are indeed superior. Who wrote it?
It sounds like he has fought in battle, wants to make great achievements, and is extremely ambitious."
Fu Bao pointed to the name.
Wang Huiwan took a look and let out a sigh, it turned out to be him.
Xuan looked at Fu Bao again, and had an idea in his mind.
You have to choose one, either this person or that person.
It is said that you choose your own husband, but it only allows you to choose within a larger range.
I'll be 20 years old by the Chinese New Year, and there's no way I can put it off any longer.
"Alas!" Fu Bao suddenly sighed and said, "My grandfather has worried so much about me and loved me so much. I have to share my worries with him. He is very good. If he can make great contributions to the court in the future, everything will be fine."
It’s all worth it.”
Wang Huiwan was silent for a moment.
Yes, I have been carefree for more than ten years. I have been well-dressed, well-fed, and extremely honored. I have enjoyed so many benefits, but I still have to shoulder my fair share of responsibilities.
After a while, someone from the palace came over, asked softly, and left quietly.
After Shao Xun drank a glass of wine, he left the table to change his clothes, and soon found out about his daughter's chosen husband.
When he returned to the table, his expression did not change at all.
But I don't know if it was an illusion, but Huan Wen always felt that the emperor was looking at him, which surprised and delighted him.
Chapter completed!
