Raising Dogs as Eunuchs [Rebirth]

In the royal hunting ground in early March, spring was not yet strong, and there was a hazy grass color everywhere. Zhao Minsheng got off the carriage, and his feet directly stepped on a piece of tender grass that had just sprouted. With the gentle breeze blowing by, Bursts of green grass aroma enveloped him from every corner.

The long-awaited spring has finally arrived.

Standing on the ground, Zhao Minsheng felt the freshness of spring around him, stretched his whole body, and stretched his waist very happily, then turned his head and waved to Xie Yuan who was still in the carriage.

"Duke, come out quickly, the weather is too comfortable today."

Xie Yuan was sitting in the carriage, raising the curtain to look at him through the window, and felt that Zhao Minsheng's actions just now looked like a lazy cat lying on the steps basking in the sun all day long.

"Just come."

As Xie Yuan said, he put down the thin curtain that had been raised all the time, turned his head and walked out of the car.

The sun in spring is not as warm as in winter. It is like a layer of tulle, even if you look directly at it, you will not feel so dazzling. Xie Yuan was so shaken that he couldn't open his eyes.

Xie Yuan stood on the spot without moving for a long time, but he didn't raise his hands to cover himself, but frowned slightly, waiting for his eyes to gradually adapt to the light.

Zhao Minsheng looked at the man's movements, and didn't say much. He just took two leisurely steps toward the man, straightened his waist, and stood beside him.

Xie Yuan felt that the too bright sunlight was annoying, then a shadow suddenly moved in front of his eyes, blocking the glaring light around him just right.

Zhao Minsheng was a full head taller than a person, and standing next to him now, he was able to block him completely.

Under the shadow, Xie Yuan's brows slowly unfurled, he raised his head in a daze, and looked at the face of the person beside him who was suffering from the excessive sunlight at this time, trying to see clearly that he was so perfect. He rushed over at this time, whether it was intentional or not, but all he got in return was some funny winks.

The surrounding princes also got out of the carriage one after another. At this time, they were clustered together, talking to each other against their will.

There were also a few people from Zhao Minsheng's side, those people who had hardly met before, after his victory this day, they all gave him warm smiles, and walked to him one by one with their shoulders crossed. He chatted with him about the brotherhood that was a little strange to both sides.

For these people, Zhao Minsheng saw through but didn't tell the truth, as long as people came, he would respond to them with a smile on his face.

Zhao Ning was standing under a willow tree, surrounded by several people, clustering him in the middle, but he didn't seem to have any intention of dealing with them, but kept twisting his neck and staring at Zhao Minsheng.

Two sharp-eyed people saw this, and they also turned around and followed the direction that King Cheng was looking at, took a look, and then snorted disdainfully as soon as they breathed out from the two nostrils.

"Among these people, none of them have a biological mother who is a concubine. They are just scumbags that neither side wants to offend. None of them can accomplish anything."

The person who spoke was the sixth child among the princes. He had been with Zhao Ning since he was a child, and he had just passed his 16th birthday.

He has been around people for a while, and he knows Zhao Ning quite well, so that now he can guess what people are thinking just by looking at people's eyes.

It's a pity that he guessed people's thoughts correctly, but said the wrong words.

"It doesn't matter whether they can succeed, as long as Zhao Minsheng can succeed."

Zhao Ning raised his hand as he spoke, and slapped the man on the back of the head, causing him to stagger forward.

The sixth prince stood beside the people, lowered his head and squinted his lips, and was slapped by the people beside them. This made him feel a little ashamed when he was a teenager, so he couldn't help but secretly raised his eyes and looked towards Zhao Minsheng.

The distance between them is not too far, but the attitude of these two people towards them is far worse.

Looking at the warm smile on Zhao Minsheng's face that was always like a spring breeze, the young boy couldn't help feeling a little envious in his heart, but he was immediately denied it by himself.

"That's a waste, with a gold and jade shell, looking at the scenery, but in the past so many years, he was played by the two mountains of King Ling and King Cheng back and forth, and his life was worse than that of a dog. Now he can So far, it was because King Ling made a mistake for a while, which made him a little bit stingy, if it wasn't for Zhao Zhan's mistake, I'm afraid he would have turned into ashes by now, and even passed the first seven."

The young man said to himself in his heart, the more he said it, the more he felt it made sense, and gradually he withdrew his envious eyes, turned his head and smiled innocently at King Cheng.

At this time, you are not afraid of losing your face. You are the most terrifying person if you stand in the wrong team or follow the wrong team. The momentary brilliance is of no use. When someone ascends to the throne in the future, you will be crushed to death with just one finger.

The sixth prince finally withdrew his eyes from looking at the person, turned around and the old ten beside him opened his mouth and smiled, drawing his attention to him again.

"Hey, there really is a concubine born here."

Those ten princes were still young and had no capital, and now they openly talked about these things, and they didn't know how to keep their voices down. They dared to point at Zhao Minsheng and laughed loudly, which made Zhao Ning frown frequently. This fashion is not there yet, otherwise I'm afraid it will make people angry again.

Zhao Minsheng heard the childish voice behind him laughing non-stop, turned around to look, but saw the eldest prince who he hadn't seen for a long time standing not far behind him, staring blankly at him, as if he wanted to come over, But he didn't dare to come over.

"Big brother!"

Zhao Minsheng looked at Zhao Yi in front of him, grinned, took the initiative to embrace him, and got close to the person. In this huge palace, Zhao Minsheng could call him a brother and only this person in front of him. .

When he was young, the incidents of the Li family hadn’t happened yet. Zhao Minsheng spent almost every day with him, pestering people to play with him and telling him stories. The prince bullied him and looked for his eldest brother, even if he couldn't memorize the essays left by his teacher, he also looked for his eldest brother.

Zhao Yi has a good temper, no matter how troubled he is, she won't feel annoyed by him, she is tolerant and tolerant everywhere, it can be said that she has done everything a good brother can do.

It's a pity that ever since the incident with the Li family came out and Zhao Minsheng was taken to the palace, the two gradually became estranged.

However, Zhao Minsheng could also understand that the person in front of him was the child of concubine Ning. Although the mother and concubine entered the palace early, her family status was not high, and she was never favored.

And although he himself is the eldest son, he doesn't have much talent, whether it is martial arts or martial arts, among the many princes, they are all mediocre.Even though he looked all over his body, he couldn't see anything bright, except that he had a good temper, but a good temper meant that he was indifferent to the world, and he lacked a little bit of aggressiveness in his bones.

This kind of temperament is considered an advantage in ordinary people, but once in the palace, it seems a bit too weak. The royal family is like a tiger forest. The tiger in the lead is not strong enough, and those who follow underground will often jump up. Shine your minions with you.

It was also because of his temperament that the emperor didn't like him very much for so many years. It was only because he was the eldest son that he saved face for him and took him everywhere.

Such a person, in this cold-blooded palace, even if he can't take care of it, how can he dare to come to his side to provoke right and wrong.

Zhao Minsheng saw all this clearly, so he didn't blame him in his heart. On the contrary, it was Zhao Yi himself who always felt guilty towards Zhao Minsheng.

Before anything happened to Li's family, Concubine Shu had always taken good care of his mother and concubine. Her mother and concubine were not of high status. Thanks to Concubine Shu's constant protection, she would not be bullied by others.He was not favored at that time, and he was not as good as other people in terms of food and clothing. He was always envious of the delicious and interesting things that other people had. At that time, I gave him a good royal horse.

But he, the older brother, didn't always protect him well.

Since he didn't help people when they were down and down, how could he have the nerve to go to people's side now that Zhao Minsheng is full of flowers? He didn't expect that the Tenth Prince behind him suddenly yelled, causing people to turn around and see him, making his face feverish involuntarily.

"Hey, you... how have you been doing recently?"

As soon as he saw the person turn around, Zhao Yi quickly lowered his head and made a face to face him, but he didn't expect Zhao Minsheng to greet him with such a smile, which was the same as the reaction when he saw him when he was a child. Same.

"Okay, it's good, big brother, what are you doing with your head down all the time, look up quickly, have I grown taller?"

Zhao Minsheng's disregard of previous suspicions made people feel a lot better. Even though he knew that this was a scene he deliberately said in order to ease the embarrassment between the two of them, Zhao Yi still looked up at the person in front of him seriously. , the top of his head, which was already much higher than himself, said something with a smile towards the person.

"I've grown taller, already much taller than my elder brother."

"See Your Majesty."

Everyone around looked at each other and chatted happily, but only Xie Yuan, who had been following Zhao Minsheng all the time, was the first to spot the figure of the emperor.

It wasn't until he greeted this greeting that many princes around turned around and said something.

"See your father."

"Excuse me, today is a good day for spring hunting in the palace, and I don't want to spoil your good interest."

As the emperor spoke, he waved his hands towards the crowd, with a loving fatherly smile on his face.

"I think it's been a long time since I hunted with you, and I don't know how much you have improved, so let's go to the shooting range over there and shoot arrows for a while, just to let you get acquainted first. Some people haven't touched it for a long time. Let's pass the bow."

The emperor glanced at Zhao Minsheng and Zhao Ning as he spoke. Among the many princes, the performance of the two of them can be said to be the highlight of the day, but it is a coincidence that these two people are covered by the emperor's last sentence.

In recent days, Zhao Ning has been devoting his efforts to the court, and he is indeed not very familiar with the martial art of bow and arrow, while Zhao Minsheng is more thorough here, he has never learned how to bend a bow and set an arrow.

When he was not favored in the palace, no one was willing to teach him. Later, Xie Yuan became his teacher, and he had no time to learn. He had to practice hard in his previous life, so now There are also some old bottoms that can be eaten.

Many princes followed the emperor's footsteps to the shooting range. The field was extremely empty, with a neat row of wooden boards, with red circles drawn on them. The bows and arrows were already fully prepared 20 meters away from the target.

The emperor sat at a place he didn't want to be behind them, holding a tureen in his hand, his eyes swept over these princes back and forth.

A few concubines also came to have fun with them in the harem, but they couldn't sit behind the emperor, but set up seats far away from the side.In the past, this seat was set behind the people, but the matter of bending the bow and setting the arrow was a bit rude. Some concubines were timid, and they would be frightened by the loud sound of the arrow. Later, the emperor also So he ordered them to move a little farther away.

"You said this time, which one of them will come out on top?"

Among the concubines, someone suddenly said such a sentence, which caused all the people around to look back at her. Many people present were curious about this matter, but how dare they say it so bluntly But she is the only one.

"Who can say for sure about this kind of thing? The sixth prince is possible, and the fifth prince is also possible, but the most likely one must be His Royal Highness Cheng Wang."

Since King Daling lost his power, even the empress's majesty in this palace is not as good as before, and now some people dare to show concubine Zhen's arrogance in front of him.

After the queen heard this, she turned her head and glanced at him lightly, but she didn't say anything, she just picked up the teacup and took a shallow sip of tea.

She really doesn't care about these trivial matters with others now, since she received the news, it has been a few days, counting the days, the envoys from Xiling should be coming to Beijing soon, but she was trapped in this hunting ground at this time Here, there are very few people around her who can handle her, and such a situation can't help but make her anxious.

The queen was sitting on the seat, thinking about the power of the Xiling envoys, she had no intention of caring about other things, and the concubines behind her, seeing her in such a situation, did not speak up, and their words became even more unscrupulous.

"The courtiers also feel the same way. His Royal Highness Prince Cheng is the top among these princes. It turns out that when King Ling was still there, he was always inferior to His Highness. What's more, His Highness Huai Wang, I am afraid that even this I don’t even know how to shoot the arrow.”

The place where Zhao Minsheng and Xie Yuan stood was not far from these concubines, so that he could hear everything they said.

Hearing the mocking words of those concubines, Xie Yuan couldn't help but turned his head, and gave those concubines a cold look. The concubine who was talking felt the coldness in the eyes of the people, and she couldn't help shaking while sitting on the chair , fought a cold war.

"Your Highness don't need to pay attention to them, just concentrate on seeing the bull's-eye."

It was only when the noise behind him completely disappeared that Xie Yuan turned his head again, patted Zhao Minsheng on the shoulder, and said so.

"Well, but Dugong, what if I can't shoot well?"

Zhao Minsheng held a big bow in both hands, looked at the red bull's-eye in the distance, turned his head to face Xie Yuan, deliberately put on a pitiful embarrassment.

Ever since he kissed someone in the palace last time, Zhao Minsheng always felt that the relationship between the two of them had become a little weird, and now he happened to have such an opportunity, if he could teach him how to bend a bow and set an arrow, it would be a great one. A good way to ease the relationship between the two of them.

"Your Highness, you don't need to worry. Your Highness just needs to do your best according to what the slave will teach you in a while. No matter what the final result is, as long as there is a slave, His Highness will be safe."

"Well, I believe you."

After listening to Zhao Minsheng's words, Xie Yuan only nodded slightly, then took an arrow from the side, his eyes firmly pressed against the man's body, and stood behind him, clasping his hands tightly on Zhao Minsheng's. , slowly drew that bow.

At this point in the matter, Xie Yuan no longer has the mind to think about the past and present life, but only concentrates on teaching people how to archery, so that the atmosphere between the two of them has become much more comfortable and harmonious.
