The reborn sycophant

It was still early in the morning, only half of the morning sun was exposed in the sky, and a faint reddish sunlight was projected on the earth, and it was no longer deserted at dawn.On the main street from Miyagi to the outskirts, soldiers in solid armor were busy separating the crowd. The taverns and teahouses on the street were ordered not to open the second floor to prevent people from shooting arrows upstairs to stab the emperor.

After packing up, Zhao Ji and Wei Chuyan also came outside the palace gate. Ministers, relatives of the emperor, and the Yulin army... a large group of people have gathered here. Hunting is the home field of warriors, and the generals have joyful faces , eager to try, all want to stand out in this grand event and pave the way for future promotion, and a small number of civil servants are also biting the bullet and preparing to go into battle.As for more people, they just went through the motions, and when the emperor led the crowd to hunt the prey, these literati wrote articles praising their virtues and submitted them one after another.In this way, the emperor can also make the emperor smile.

"His Royal Highness is back to playing, don't forget the important things."

The royal children are separated from the ministers. Some people ride in carriages, and those who are skilled in horsemanship like Zhao Ji still ride horses. Everyone has an open space. Generally speaking, your highnesses are surrounded by their own personal attendants. , They are all people who have been stamped on the surface. As for the cronies who are hiding in the dark, and even the details of planting in others, it is generally unknown.

Located in a relatively conspicuous open space, Wei Chuyan and Zhao Ji rode side by side on horses, whispering something to her.The people around were noisy, and the horses often neighed. Wei Chuyan was cautious, and still only spoke in a very low voice, not to mention others, but Zhao Ji. If it wasn't so close, it would be difficult to hear what she was saying clearly. .

When it came to serious matters, Zhao Ji's expression was not as indifferent as before. She held the rein and nodded to Wei Chuyan, showing a bright smile under the rising sun.

Wei Chuyan's heart twitched, his face was still tense, but the young girls and boys around him who had been secretly looking this way were dazzled by this bright smile, and many of them covered their lips and let out a small exclamation , Some of the thin-skinned ones even covered their faces.

Most of these are the family members of accompanying officials. It is a common practice. Whenever such a grand event is encountered, if it is allowed to bring family members, the ministers will choose some favored or good-looking children to bring with them. It is best if you can't, if you can't, let the juniors walk around together more, and it is easy for ministers of similar status to get married.

As for the dream of being admired by His Majesty and reaching the sky in one step, many people are also dreaming about it, but as His Majesty gets older, there are still fewer people who deliberately bring their children to join His Majesty.

However, Zhao Ji felt that this was because the emperor favored only her mother and concubine, otherwise, what would a mere love for a baby be?

Once in the emperor's harem, it can be said that one person can ascend to heaven. Take the Wan family as an example. Twenty years ago, it was just a medium-to-small family. Behind the myth that the imperial concubine and the sisters are favored is the fact that the Wan family is riding the east wind and skyrocketing.County guards, school lieutenants, generals... From civil servants occupying a place to generals guarding borders, people with the surname Wan abound.

Up to now, when the world talks about Wanjia, it is inevitable to add the phrase "Zhongming Dingshi".Some sour literati always say sourly in private that the Wan family is rich and honored by selling their daughters, but after all, if they had such an opportunity, let alone their daughters and sons, even their own mothers would be willing to part with it. !

Qi Emperor Zhao Yu came late, and the imperial concubine was by his side.Zhao Ji and other siblings went up to greet their father obediently, and the ministers at the side also knelt down one after another. Zhao Yu said something with a satisfied smile on his lips, and led everyone to the suburbs.Zhao Ji walked in the first echelon on horseback, and seeing that his father did not ride a horse as usual this year, he knew what his mother and concubine said was true.

The emperor, who was over fifty years old, squandered his body completely while swallowing a large amount of medicine.

The black and red flag flutters in the spring breeze. This dynasty, which is only over 100 years old, is full of prosperity like the golden sun shining on the flag.But its third ruler has gradually entered the last stage of his life. He is not too old, but his increasingly weak body can't wait to announce his departure early.

The saddest point is that the culprit of all this is not the emperor's own intemperance, but the cubs he raised.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji's gaze turned to Zhao Chen who was walking side by side with her across a few people.

The alchemist Jiang Li who has won the emperor's heart recently is actually the second sister's man.The pill that can make people addicted and eat away in bliss is probably also written by the second sister.The second sister is very poisonous. On the surface, Jiang Li is a guest at the seventh brother's residence. Later, although he was awarded the title of national teacher and moved into the national teacher's residence because of his meritorious service in offering the bliss pill, but when his father found out The body is broken, and under the rage, he will definitely transfer his anger to Seventh Brother.

This is killing two birds with one stone.

Zhao Chen couldn't wait anymore.If you wait another ten or eight years, the younger siblings will all grow up.Her advantage is not great, there is no favored mother and concubine in the harem to help, and the mother and concubine's relatives can not give much help, although she married a few beneficial marriages to make up for it, but in the end the benefits are not great.If these younger brothers and sisters were allowed to grow up again, and when they were full-fledged, the second imperial daughter would lose even the last bit of advantage on the bright side.

How could she not be in a hurry?

In this way, the body of the emperor was dragged down early, and she occupied the longest title except the abolished prince, and was one of the grown-up highnesses. Compared with Zhao Ji, who was still young, she naturally had an advantage, and at the same time, if the emperor It's really broken. As Jiang Li's old master, His Seventh Highness, who is also an adult, cannot absolve himself of the blame. She cleared another obstacle.

What a good plan!

Sensitively aware of Zhao Ji's gaze, Zhao Chen looked over, startled for a moment, then put on a perfect smile, and nodded at Zhao Ji.Different from Zhao Ji, who prefers red, Zhao Chen's robes are mainly blue on weekdays. With the accumulation of generations of beauties, the emperor's family rarely has unattractive children. It was a bit higher than the other brothers and sisters, but when the other highnesses took a look at it alone, they were all beautiful and handsome.Zhao Chen also has a good appearance. Compared with Zhao Ji's Zhang Yang Mingyan, she looks a little weak, her brows are a little lighter, and her eyes are more gentle. Therefore, when she is outside, people often think that she is incompetent.

It's a pity that such a weak appearance hides a heart of snakes and scorpions that is more poisonous than anyone else.

Zhao Ji looked at that perfect smile that couldn't see a trace of haze, and thought slightly in his heart, at least if it were her, it would be absolutely impossible for her to attack her biological father.Oh, yes, didn't Zhao Chen still want to kill her that year? At that time, Zhao Chen was just about to become an adult, so he already had such ruthless thoughts. Until now, Zhao Chen stretched out his hand to his father's Why should she be surprised?

She also tried to persuade her father not to use those pills, but her father scolded her severely at that time, probably because she felt that the noble concubine told her daughter such things made him feel embarrassed, and he even punished the noble concubine. In the past few months, the harem has been filled with smoky atmosphere. He probably thought that the imperial concubine had finally fallen out of favor, and all kinds of moths came out.But not long afterward, didn't Zhao Yu come forward again?

Zhao Ji gave up afterward.

Feeling ill, Zhao Yuqiang hunted a tiger on the outside and stopped, saying that he wanted to test the martial arts of the princes, and let them hunt freely and go as deep as possible.Zhao Ji responded naively, and under the lottery given by his father, he led Wei Chuyan into the woods to chase the prey with great interest, turning his head occasionally, looking at Zhao Yu's leaving back, the light in his eyes would be Dim it.

On the side, Zhao Chen was obviously also very interested in the abnormality of his father this year. After carefully observing Zhao Yu for a long time, she whipped her whip and rushed to Zhao Ji's side with her people.

It is just spring, and the vegetation has not yet grown, and there is only a layer of green blanket floating in the woodland. Riding a horse in such a mountain forest, the sight is very wide, and the prey can't hide. After a while, Zhao Ji's saddle is full of Hanging strings of prey.At this time Zhao Chen came up, she met the seventh son Zhao Jie somewhere, and brought him here too, Zhao Jie hunted a big leopard, put it on the horse of his entourage if it got in the way, saw Zhao Ji , it was a burst of showing off: "A nurse is a nurse, and even the prey you catch are small beasts that have not been weaned! I said Eleventh Sister, didn't you say that you would compete with me for the prize given by the emperor?" If this continues, you should follow behind me, brother, maybe I hunted a bigger one, so I will send this leopard to you! Haha!"

The seventh prince doesn't love to forgive others, but he is quite straightforward, probably because the three generations of monarchs in the Qi Dynasty were all men. As the only existing male Qianyang Lord who is qualified to inherit the throne, he is a bit erratic.It's also because of his young age, and he still can't hold back his sharpness. In the palace, he is under the supervision of the princess, so he doesn't appear impetuous, but when he goes outside, he is sometimes very annoying.

And because the crown prince was also a man, Zhao Jie was always a little confident. He felt that the throne could fall to him. After Jiang Li was promoted, his father treated him better than usual, so he was even more proud of it.

This year, I am also trying my best to get some big prey.

After a burst of ridicule, a gray fox that Zhao Ji was looking at was scared away by him, and he put down his bow and arrow, pretending to be angry, and said, "My good seventh brother, you are not jealous of the good fox I saw. Chased it away? I was going to shoot it! I don't care, you have to accompany me!"

There was some intimacy between the words, which was very useful to Zhao Jie's ears.

According to the system of heir succession, there is only Zhao Chen in front of him, so although he is also wary of the little sister behind him, he has not reported too much hostility after all.Besides, Zhao Ji was born well, with a rosy face, watery eyes, and softly calling "Seventh Brother", which could make the bones of a brother melt, and because Zhao Ji seemed to be showing weakness, He grabbed the bow and arrow in his hand, and said proudly: "Isn't it just a fox? Just wait, brother will give you one back!"

Seeing that this fool was about to run after the fox, Zhao Chen, who had been watching coldly, quickly stopped him, and said to Zhao Ji: "It was agreed that each would hunt independently, each relying on his own ability, but you are better off, just say a few words to scare your seventh brother away." I went to catch prey for you. Seventh brother, you too, it’s not like you to spoil your younger sister!” Besides, is that an ordinary younger sister? It’s a wolf cub that is growing teeth!This indistinct stupid thing!

With a sneer in his heart, Zhao Chen held Zhao Jie affectionately, and saw Zhao Ji sitting on the horse, looking for prey lively, as if he didn't listen to her carefully, he gritted his teeth secretly, but his smile became more and more kind: " Since it’s a competition, it’s not okay to bring these entourages. They shoot each other with arrows and crossbows. How do you count the prey you kill? The seventh brother is not bad. On November you even brought the lieutenant of the Northern Army. How can this be counted? How about fairness?"

As she spoke, she turned her eyes to Wei Chuyan who had been quietly staying beside Zhao Ji. Today, Chuyan was wearing a moon-white bunt with cuffs tightened, and her waist was also tightened by a belt inlaid with gemstones. Yingying, with a back like a green bamboo, is incomparably refreshed.

It's beautiful, but it's a pity it's someone else's.

His heart tickled slightly, and Zhao Chen, who had a certain preference, looked at Wei Chuyan from top to bottom calmly, then looked away, and looked at Zhao Ji who was talking.

"Second sister is joking, isn't it? Our arrows all have special markings. Whoever's prey can tell at a glance, can I cheat here? Besides, Brother Seven is here, and he is in charge of the hunt. Chief Treasurer, do you not believe him?"

Zhao Jie immediately became a little displeased: "Eleventh said that the arrows are all managed by me. Second sister, if you say that, you are not burying me, brother?"

Seeing Zhao Ji's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Zhao Chen felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't like Zhao Ji, but she had to deal with her patiently. Zhao Ji was as slippery as a loach. Slippery slime.Especially... look!There is another one here who is acting as a spearman for Zhao Ji!She glanced at Zhao Jie, and said again: "Then if they help you drive away the prey, what should they count?"

Zhao Ji smiled, caught a glimpse of Wei Chuyan's eyes, and realized that the heat was almost ready, she sighed pretendingly, and said melancholy: "Since the second sister doesn't believe me so much, then I will send them away, but you and the seventh brother can't either. Take your followers."

"Okay, if you don't take it, don't take it, I still think they are troublesome!" Zhao Jie smiled and asked his followers to wait in place. Seeing that Zhao Ji and the two did the same, they chose their own paths and ran in different directions. went.

Wei Chuyan stayed where he was, watching Zhao Jiyuan's back, and at the right time left a worried look on Zhao Chen who was sneaking over.

The author has something to say: Well, thick and long.

Tomorrow and day after day will be tens of thousands.
