He frowned and picked up a shrimp ball, just as he moved his hand over, Qi Yanjing opened his mouth wide in satisfaction.

"Ah~"

Zhao Yigu glared at him, and put it directly on the plate in front of him.

Qi Yanjing was not annoyed either, he picked it up and ate it himself.

"This shrimp ball is very delicious." He narrowed his eyes with a smile, but Zhao Yigu turned away with a blank expression on his face.

After breakfast, Qi Yanjing is going to the Imperial College.

"Yi Gu, can you take me there, what if I encounter a ghost along the way?"

Zhao Yigu suppressed his anger and said, "It's daytime, Qi Yanjing, don't push yourself."

Qi Yanjing said aggrievedly: "But it was also daytime last time."

Zhao Yigu took out a Five Thunder Talisman from his sleeve and slapped him on the chest forcefully, "Even if the ghost king comes, he can be smashed into powder."

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked out.

Qi Yanjing's eyes kept staring at his back until he couldn't see it anymore.

"Kneel down."

Qi Yanjing who retracted his gaze no longer saw the smile just now, and his eyes, which were as dark as lacquer, were full of ice-coldness.

All the servants in the hall fell to their knees, silent like cicadas.

Qi Yanjing looked at Eunuch Zhou condescendingly, "Did Gu ask you to remove the limp yesterday?"

"I don't dare." Eunuch Zhou knocked his head on the ground.

Zhou Shi has been serving him since he was a child, and Qi Yanjing also knows that he is not rash.

"Who told you to do it?"

"Bi Yang."

As soon as the words fell, a pretty court lady immediately lay down on the ground, kowtowing for mercy.

Qi Yanjing didn't even look at her, but looked at the softness under the window, "Thirty stick, get out of the palace."

The two young eunuchs immediately stepped forward and dragged Bi Yang to the outside of the hall.

"Punish you with one month's salary."

Eunuch Zhou kowtowed, "The slave is willing to be punished."

He had vaguely sensed Bi Yang's thoughts before, but he just admonished him and didn't tell his master, so he deserved to be punished.

Qi Yanjing went to Zhaoyang Palace at noon, and before entering the main hall, he saw Qi Junhuai's guard of honor stopped at the door.

"Meet the royal father and the queen mother."

The three of them had lunch together, and Qi Junhuai had to go to the Hall of Absolute Beginning to handle government affairs, leaving only Qi Yanjing and Li Jin in the hall.

"Tell the queen mother, how are you and Yi Gu?"

A gleam of joy flashed in Qi Yanjing's eyes, and he said, "Yi Gu still slept with me last night."

Li Jin nodded excitedly, "What else, what else?"

"Yi Gu picked up a shrimp ball for me in the morning."

"and then?"

"Gone."

Li Jin sighed regretfully.

If a little brother is willing to share the bed with a man, it must be because he likes it very much.

But Zhao Yigu looked back and saw that Qi Yanjing was cold, and it was as if he was following an order when he came to the palace to accompany him.

Li Jin didn't know whether he liked his son or not.

She propped her chin, looked at Qi Yanjing's handsome face, and said a little discouraged: "Why is it so difficult for you, think back to me and your father..."

When Li Jin said this, he suddenly stopped.

Qi Yanjing looked at him suspiciously, "Mother?"

"There is a way."

……

Every three years, Qianyuan Kingdom will hold a tribute.

Now Qianyuan's vassal states have increased to seven, plus other countries, at this time, the scene is always extraordinarily grand.

In the past three months, Qi Yanjing uncharacteristically didn't invite Zhao Yigu into the palace, and didn't yell about being haunted anymore.

Zhao Yigu felt pure at first, but after a long time, he felt a little restless in his heart.

Today is the hunting ceremony. Since 12 years ago, it will be held every tribute. It is also an opportunity for princes and princesses from all over the world to show off their talents.

The one who wins the first prize can choose one item among the tribute items this time.

In fact, rewards are secondary, the most important thing is this is a great opportunity to become famous, if you win, you will be in the limelight and envious of others.

It was Qi Yanjing who took the lead three years ago, and got the gold inlaid animal head agate cup, which is now placed in his room.

Zhao Yigu decided to win something for Qi Yanjing this time, so he treated him as a gift.

Everyone set off from the palace in the morning, and it was already evening when they arrived at the paddock.

Zhao Yigu is no longer wearing a wide-sleeved robe today, but a dark blue Yunxiang outfit.

Her black hair was tied high with a gold crown cut out of hollows, and she looked a little more handsome than her usual Juechen appearance.

Qi Yanjing saw him at a glance, but desperately restrained the restlessness in her heart, her teeth were almost shattered.

"Brother Yanjing."

At this time, Meng Miaoyan, the princess of Guyan Kingdom, came over shyly and called him.

"Princess Six."

Hearing the sound of the two talking, Zhao Yigu let out a sneer, turned around and left.

Qi Yanjing tried his best to restrain himself, so he couldn't hold back and didn't catch up.

"Brother Yanjing is so absent-minded when talking to Yan'er, what are you looking at?" Meng Miaoyan turned her head and looked behind her, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"The fourth princess should go to bed earlier, I still have something to do." After speaking, she turned around and left.

Meng Miaoyan looked at his back, showing a smile that was bound to win.

On the second day, the hunting ceremony officially began.

Qi Junhuai stood on the high platform, drew the bowstring and shot down a stag, and the horn sounded.

Qi Yanjing and Zhao Yigu were followed by many people, but in the blink of an eye, Zhao Yigu's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

Seeing this, the princes couldn't help feeling disappointed, but they couldn't make it too obvious to send someone to look for them, so they had to go to Lin Zhongxing.

"What do you say that the six princesses of the ancient Yan Kingdom have an alluring appearance? In the eyes of this prince, they are far inferior to the Qianyuan Guoshi."

"Keep your voice down, if you want that person to hear you, I'm afraid you will be in trouble." The second prince of Chonglan Kingdom drove over and looked around while talking.

The prince of Beixiang Kingdom sighed, "It seems that you and I have to work harder to squeeze in the position of the crown prince."

Their fathers and emperors once said that whoever can marry Zhao Yigu, the only son of Qianyuan Guoshi, is a sure choice for the crown prince.

Even if he is not the crown prince, with Zhao Yigu's appearance and ability, he won the admiration of many people.

Don't talk about asking for marriage, there are not many people who can talk to each other so far, but whenever they get close, Prince Qianyuan's eyes look like they want to kill someone.

Seeing that the two of them were hunting separately today uncharacteristically, I thought there was a chance, but they disappeared without even seeing the horse's ass.

The two princes looked at each other and couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

Three days later, the hunting was over. After the officials of Taipu Temple checked the prey, they presented the booklet to the emperor for review.

Qi Junhuai looked at the names on the roster and smiled meaningfully.

At the palace banquet after returning to the palace, Qi Junhuai announced the first name of this year's hunt.

"...It is my master of Qianyuan Kingdom, Zhao Yigu."

Zhao Yigu stood up and walked to the middle path, bowing in salute.

"Yi Gu, just tell me what you want, and I will give it to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

As for what he wanted, Zhao Yigu already had a goal in mind.

When Eunuch Zheng, who was beside the emperor, brought the things, Zhao Yigu took them in his hands and walked towards Qi Yanjing.
