Qiao Yi

The two looked at each other, and neither of them moved for a while, and there was an ambiguous atmosphere in the air.

"Are you hiding from me?" Xie Yin didn't take back his hand, and that hand fell to the boy's ear, gently stroking the boy's hair, and asked.

What he asked was whether the boy had been hiding from him since that night in Zhongqiu.

"I, I don't know what you're talking about." Qiao Yi's eyes flickered, and he wanted to turn his head away.

It's just that the man's hand fell on his face and fixed his head, preventing him from escaping.

"Hehe, I know you understand what I'm talking about." His Royal Highness Duke Ming gave a low laugh, not allowing the young man to escape, his body leaned towards the young man, and the faces of the two got closer and closer, so close that they took another step forward , their lips can touch.

"Qiao Yi, if you don't remember, I don't mind helping you remember it." The man said.

In the next second, the lips of the two touched together.

Feeling the temperature and touch of his lips, Qiao Yi's pupils dilated, but he didn't push the man who kissed him away, and looked straight into the depths of the man's eyes.Being looked at by the young man, His Highness King Ming couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand to cover the young man's eyes, and said, "Good boy, close your eyes."

The boy blinked his eyelashes twice, closed his eyes obediently, and let him kiss him.

The touch on his lips made his heart throb. Qiao Yi couldn't explain the feeling in his heart.

This kiss came after a taste, Xie Yin didn't have any further intentions, he knew that the boy was not ready, and he would not touch the boy without his consent.Seeing that the boy didn't push him away, he knew that the boy was not indifferent to him.

At this moment, he was a bit reluctant to let go of him, so he hugged the young man in his arms, thinking of tasting the beauty of the young man just now, His Royal Highness Prince Ming's throat rolled unconsciously, and asked: "Do you hate me for treating you like this?"

Qiao Yi lowered his head, feeling his face was getting hot. He didn't answer the man's question, but he knew in his heart that he didn't hate the intimate contact between two people.Dimly, he remembered the last time when he was drunk, a man kissed him, but he didn't remember it so clearly.

And the kiss just now reminded him.

There were also the marks left on his neck last time. Qiao Yi knew that this man did it on purpose. He left those marks on purpose to remind them of what happened that night, and also told him what this man meant to him.

Two people live under the same roof, each busy with their own affairs, since the last incident, the two have not seen each other very much, indeed he is hiding from this person a little bit, and some don't know how to respond to the other party's throwing The problem.

"Hehe..." His Royal Highness Duke Ming gave a low laugh, rubbed the boy's head, and said in a low and hoarse voice

: "If you don't agree, I won't force you. I will wait for you, and wait for the day you are willing. However, don't make me wait too long

"

"Sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow."

"Hmm." Qiao Yi felt a little flustered, he chose to avoid the man's question.But he didn't push away the man who was hugging him. Since the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, this was the second time they lay on the same bed after half a month.

The two of them lay together at night. I don't know if it was because after having Xie Yin by his side, he felt the body temperature from the man and smelled the familiar smell. It didn't take long for him to fall asleep again, and this time he slept soundly. Very heavy.

Hearing the boy's regular breathing, Xie Yin knew that the boy was asleep. Xie Yin reached out and touched the boy's face, his eyes fell on the boy's lips, but he didn't touch the boy again.

Putting his arms around the boy's waist, he closed his eyes.

Outside the tent are the footsteps of soldiers patrolling, this night seems unexpectedly quiet...

The next day.

Before the hunting began, a hunting ceremony was held first. Hongdi was accompanied by Concubine Xiao, who was dressed in splendid attire, bright and moving.His Highness King An and His Highness King Ning stood together, and His Highness King Ming stood on the other side.

The left and right prime ministers followed, followed by two generals, followed by civil and military officials.

After the hunting ceremony was held, the emperor led Concubine Xiao and many concubines to their seats.

Concubine Xiao Gui naturally sat beside the emperor, equal to the empress.Although Concubine Xiao Gui has not been formally conferred the title of Empress, but she holds the Phoenix Seal in her hand, and her rights in the harem are equivalent to those of Empress.

Not long ago, Concubine Gu was promoted to one level, and now she is Concubine Gu, sitting in the front, next to the emperor.

This time, many concubines from the palace came with them, and most of the concubines who were able to come with them were the more favored concubines in the palace, so they had the opportunity to come with them to participate in the autumn hunting.

Concubine Xiao glanced at Concubine Gu who was sitting down, just when Concubine Gu raised her head, meeting Concubine Xiao's gaze looking at her, Concubine Gu smiled slightly at Concubine Xiao.The eyes of the two people intersected in the air, the expression on Concubine Xiao's face remained unchanged, but in her heart she wished to tear up Concubine Gu's picture.

face.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live." All the officials knelt down and shouted long live.

"My dear friends, let's live in peace." The emperor had a smile on his face, and it could be seen that the emperor was in a good mood.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up.

Emperor Hong looked at the princes below and the children of the family, and the emperor said loudly: "Today is the annual autumn hunting. Since the first emperor, this autumn hunting has been held every year. Since I ascended the throne, this autumn hunting has been held every year. They are also held. I see that our Dayan is becoming more and more prosperous every year, and young people are emerging in large numbers. I am very happy..."

"I won't say much here." After a long speech, Emperor Hong said: "The rules of this autumn hunting are still the same as in previous years. The limit is three days. Whoever hunts the most will get the most out of it." If you win the first prize, I will reward you heavily."

"Okay!" The generals below and the children of the aristocratic family shouted one by one.

This time, most of the youths who can come with them are the children of high-ranking officials or the children of the aristocratic families in the capital, so they have the opportunity to come with them.

The female relatives sat below, and the children of the family who participated in the hunt stood aside.

Xie Rong sat in front of the female relatives, seeing Concubine Xiao Gui who was sitting next to the emperor, two clusters of flames danced in her eyes, and she felt extremely anxious.In previous years, her son would come to participate in the autumn hunting, but this year her son stayed at home and could not come with him, and all this was because of the Xiao family.

"Xiao family, Xiao family...!" Xie Rong gritted her teeth in her heart, unable to seek justice for her son, she vowed not to be human!

The children of the aristocratic family are discussing how much prey they will hunt this time, even if they can't get No. 1, as long as they perform well, they can show their faces in front of the emperor.As long as they can show their face in front of the emperor and give the emperor a good impression, it will be of great benefit to their future official career.

The annual autumn hunting is a time for generals to show off their demeanor. As for civil servants, the most important thing is to participate.Two prime ministers, Lu Chongbu and Hu Tingyun, stood in front. Lu Xiang himself was a general, and he teased Hu Xiang, asking, "Why don't you go and participate?"

"If you go, I will definitely go." Hu Tingyun turned his gaze over Lu Chongbu's stomach, and asked with a smile, "However, your stomach is several months old, can you ride a horse?"

"..." Lu Xiang turned his face away angrily, not wanting to talk to Hu Tingyun anymore.

"Hehe..." Hu Tingyun smiled happily. In short, if he made the enemy unhappy, he was happy.

Lu Xiang was angry for a while, and turned back to talk to Hu Xiang. The two have loved and killed each other for so many years. Lu Xiang has always been cruel to others, but he is merciful to Hu Xiang. It didn't take long to circle around Hu Xiang again.

It is said that the two prime ministers are deadly enemies in the court, but seeing the two of them leaning together and whispering, it really doesn't look like it.

Hu Tingyun took a look at King Ming who was standing in front, just when Xie Yin's eyes looked over and met Hu Xiang's.

The two exchanged a look, tacit understanding.

"Your Majesty, before the start of the autumn hunting, how could there be no archery competition?" Lu Chongbu kept teasing Hu Tingyun, listening to the emperor talking, and when the emperor finished speaking, Lu Xiang jumped out Said.

"Yes, yes, look at me... Lu Xiang, if you don't remind me, I almost forgot about it." The emperor gave an order, and soldiers set up targets. The emperor asked: "Who will come first next? The rules are the same as in previous years , whoever wins will choose the path first."

Every year before the autumn hunting, there will be an archery competition, which is an indispensable link every year.There are several roads to enter the paddock, the quality of the road you choose, and the amount of prey on which road will directly affect the result of autumn hunting.

His Royal Highness Wang An won the first place in the archery competition and the autumn hunting competition in previous years.

"Father, my subjects come first." His Highness Wang An was the first to stand up, with confidence on his face.Xie Yin didn't move, Xie An subconsciously glanced at Xie Yin with provocation in his eyes.The corner of Xie Yin's mouth curled up, which meant that he didn't take Xie An's provocation seriously.

Hongdi laughed and said, "Okay, okay, then An'er will come first."

The people below presented his bow and arrow, Xie An took his bow and arrow, put the arrow on the bow, pulled it away, and let it out——

"Soon-"

The arrow hit the bullseye.

"Good!" everyone shouted.

The second arrow, the third arrow, and the third arrow in a row, all hit the bull's-eye.Xie An put away his longbow, turned to face the emperor, and said: "

Father, son and minister have made a fool of themselves. "

"Okay, okay." The emperor said hello three times in a row, which showed that he was very satisfied with his son.

Wang An's archery skills have always been top-notch, and his arrows hit the bull's-eye without any mistakes.

All the onlookers praised His Royal Highness King An's good shooting skills and accurate head shots.

Among the female relatives who followed behind were many girls who followed, all of them looked at His Highness Wang An with admiration in their eyes, wishing to marry King An, but unfortunately the candidate for Princess An had already been decided.

"Mother." Lu Qingqing also came with her mother this time, with admiration for King An in her eyes.

Mrs. Lu patted her daughter's hand with a satisfied smile on her face.
