The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

The number of today's spoils was being reported on the field, and Eunuch Liu's sharp voice echoed throughout the venue.

It has been a while since I reported the number from small to large.

……

"Fifth Prince, ten roe deer, six spotted deer, twenty rabbits and twenty pheasants each!"

"Eighth Prince, twelve roe deer, ten spotted deer, and thirty rabbits!"

"Third Prince, twelve roe deer, ten spotted deer, thirty-two rabbits, and twenty pheasants!"

"Prince, nineteen roe deer, eighteen spotted deer, ten wild boars, twenty rabbits, and a pair of red foxes!"

"Wow, the prince hunted a wild boar!"

"And the red fox!"

There was an uproar in the audience. It was not that red foxes were hard to see, but that this fox was too fast and too cunning. Large prey like this could easily alarm them, and they would have already hidden, so it was difficult to catch them. They would not spend a lot of time trying to catch it, so once they found it, they had to act immediately.

"Mother, the red fox I hunted is a little small, but it is just big enough to make a shawl for you." The prince presented the fox fur to the queen.

"Good! The prince is filial and thoughtful!"

The emperor was very happy. The queen was not the prince's biological mother, but the prince had always been very respectful to the queen, which made him proud as an emperor.

Although they are all superficial, at least the surface can be maintained which is good.

"Well, then I'll rely on the prince's blessing!" The queen also smiled happily.

When I first met this queen, I couldn't understand her. She was not doing her job.

"Mu Yang, are they sincere?"

Jing Muyang was successfully amused by her and whispered in her ear, "Whether he is sincere or not is none of our business. Princess, please don't say such things again."

When he first saw her, he widened his eyes and nodded slightly. Fortunately, what he said just now was a whisper, otherwise if it was heard by someone with ulterior motives, he would be scolded by the emperor again.

"Your Majesty, there is also the War King." Eunuch Liu's expression was a little embarrassed, mainly because the War King had too many spoils of war, and he was the first to come back. At that time, the chain accident made too much noise, and many people saw it, so he had to report it.

But if he reports it, the prince will be left too far behind.

As expected, the emperor stopped smiling when Eunuch Liu said this. He couldn't help but let him report it, so he could only try to be gentle, "Eunuch Liu, report the King of War!"

"Ninth Prince, twenty-six spotted deer, twenty-five roe deer, twenty-two wild boars, forty-two rabbits, thirty-eight pheasants, and one ferret!"

After these prey were brought back and counted, they were kept separately. The princes came back late, so they didn't see the scene when Jing Muyang came back. They were dumbfounded. Wasn't Xiao Jiu in the periphery? How could he have hunted so many!

"Xiaojiu, you are not lying, are you? The hunting ground rules stipulate that one person can only bring two helpers! Did you include the ones from Qingshan and Qingmu?" The fifth prince was the first to jump out.

"Oh, that's right. If Fifth Brother hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten. Eunuch Liu, Qingshan and the others just came back, and they haven't counted their numbers yet." Chu Jian suddenly remembered this. He had to give Qingshan and the others some points. After all, they were also participants. No matter how many or how few, anyone who hunted big prey would be rewarded!

"This...Princess Zhan, this is not against the rules. Anyone who does not return within the hour of You will not be counted. Otherwise, the time difference will be too great, which is unfair to the competitors." Eunuch Liu explained patiently.

"Okay then." I felt a little regretful when we first met.

However, Eunuch Liu's words reminded others that the prey of the Qingshan team sent out by the War King was not included in the hunt.

There was a burst of discussion in the audience.

"Did I hear a ferret?"

"There are still more than twenty wild boars! Much more than the prince hunted!"

"Keep your voice down!"

……

"Ahem." The emperor spoke, and the scene immediately fell silent. "Xiaojiu is indeed a veteran of the battlefield, so it's normal for him to have such abilities. Prince, you must treat Xiaojiu well in the future. Whether you can sit firmly on the throne of Lingyin Kingdom depends on whether Xiaojiu can protect it for you."

"Your Majesty is right. I, your son, will certainly work together with Xiaojiu, and all the brothers and ministers to devote our lives to the country!" The prince stood up, knelt in the middle and saluted deeply.

The princes and ministers also came out and knelt down to express their loyalty, and the shouts of "Long live the emperor" were heard everywhere.

"Okay, okay! Take a seat!" The emperor was happy now.

His words not only declared that he would not shake the position of the crown prince, so that those who had ulterior motives would give up. Secondly, he publicly pulled Xiaojiu under the command of the crown prince. If Xiaojiu also wanted to seek the throne in the future, many ministers would come out to accuse him of betraying his father and brother, and thus he would not be able to be enthroned.

"Xiaojiu, can you really hunt a ferret?" The emperor was so happy that he thought it would be okay to let Xiaojiu show off for a while, since it would only build momentum for the prince.

"Yes, father. It was discovered by the princess. This top-quality snow ferret is extremely rare. The princess always brings me good luck." Jing Muyang answered while looking at Chu Jian lovingly.

This dog food is spread out in a way that can make people choke.

"Hahaha, great! Nice to meet you, girl. What do you plan to do with this ferret?" the emperor continued to ask.

How to deal with it? Jing Muyang said before that he made a scarf for her, but the emperor asked this, what did he mean?

Just now, the prince presented a red fox to the queen. Was he asking her to follow suit? To give it to the queen as well? No, if he gave it to the queen, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the imperial concubine, her biological mother? But to give it to the imperial concubine? No, either. Sable fur is more noble than fox fur. Giving it to the imperial concubine would mean that the queen is not worthy of him.

Oh, why did the emperor set a trap for her?

She calmed herself down and knelt facing the emperor.

"I feel that your father is working very hard for state affairs every day. Today I heard from Dean He that your father still has cold legs. The severe winter is approaching, so your son has asked Mu Yang to make a pair of knee pads for your father. It's just right." He smiled when he first saw you.

Snow ferrets are rare, so I'll give it to you. Cut it into pieces. You can't keep it anyway, so what does it matter whether it's whole or broken down?

But she thought the emperor would not want it.

"Hahaha, good, good!" The emperor laughed. "I appreciate your filial piety, but the precious fur of the ferret should not be cut into pieces. Eunuch Liu, give the order to make it into a scarf for the imperial concubine!"

If the emperor wanted to win over Xiaojiu to the prince, he naturally couldn't ignore his mother. The things hunted by his son were too valuable to be given to her directly, so he naturally had to help him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The imperial concubine was so happy that she couldn't hold it back and her joy was about to overflow.

The queen was smiling all the time and never forgot to say a few nice words.
