I was a prince in ancient times

Xie Cangming and the others followed Xie Anlan's gaze.

All I saw was a white, bloated figure galloping towards them with a splash of water.

Xie Guanchao raised his bow and set his arrows without hesitation, "Where did the bear come from, and he even learned to wear human clothes."

Just as the arrow was about to shoot out, Xie Anlan suddenly smelled a faint fragrance of roses.

Looking at the clothes on the white bear-like figure, he seemed to have remembered something, and hurriedly stopped Xie Guanchao, "Fifth Brother, wait, that looks like Princess Snow Country."

Xie Guanchao was about to shoot his arrow, but when he heard Xie Anlan's words, he had to put his hands down again, and looked at the figure carefully, "It seems that the clothes are really real."

Xie Qiongxi smiled softly beside Xie Guanchao, "What do you mean, it is true."

Xie Cangming frowned, and winked at the guard behind him, "Take two maids to see what's going on."

"Yes." The guard replied.

Not long after, two nimble maids took the fleeing Princess Xuexue back to the tent.

Immediately afterwards, a group of imperial doctors followed into the tent.

Xie Cangming summoned a maid to ask, and asked sharply, "What happened?"

"...Your Majesty, the Princess of the Snow Country met a hornet in the forest, so she ran away in embarrassment." The maid replied kneeling in front of Xie Cangming.

"Wasp?" Xie Cangming twirled the finger on his thumb, thinking it was absurd and funny, "I also met it in the mountains and forests, why didn't I see a wasp come to sting me."

When going out to hunt, it is very common to encounter wild bees and other things in the mountains and forests, just avoid them in time, how could it be like this.

The kneeling maid looked embarrassed, paused, and explained slowly, "Princess Snow Country was born beautiful, and she smeared a lot of flower juice on her clothes. Maybe the flower juice was contaminated with pollen, which is why the wild bees chased after her." Fortunately, the princess hid in the water wisely, so the situation didn't get worse."

This reason made all the princes laugh and cry.

Xie Guanchao curled his lips even more, and said disdainfully, "Could it be that Princess Snow Country is a fool, knowing that Chunsou is a good time for wild bees to gather honey, and she made herself so ostentatious, because she was afraid that the wild bees would sting too lightly." .”

All the princes looked at Xie Anlan and smiled without saying a word.

Xie Anlan helplessly spread her hands, "I can't blame me for this matter, I usually avoid her when I see her, even if it's a fool, I don't want to see her anymore."

With a sullen face, Xie Cangming asked again, "What about the guard maid beside her?"

The dignified princess of a country had no one to take care of her when she encountered this incident, and she was almost shot dead by Xie Guanchao acting like a bear. If this got out, others would think that Yongchao didn't take good care of her.

The maid looked at Xie Anlan, "The princess's maid said that when the princess saw His Highness Chen Wang, she sent them away and followed His Royal Highness the whole time."

Xie Anlan, "..."

"There is such a thing. At that time, I was almost hunted and killed by riding a boat as a wild animal. Fortunately, my riding boat is not good at archery, so I missed the shot." Xie Anlan explained perfunctorily.

Xie Cangming's eyes darkened, and he reprimanded, "Nonsense!"

Xie Anlan responded perversely, "Brother Huang, I messed around. It has nothing to do with my family's ride. I will remember next time."

Xie Cangming glanced at him and said angrily, "I didn't mention you."

"That princess is messing around." Xie Anlan smiled awkwardly, mentioned the prey given by her brothers, said a few words, and left.

Xie Cangming looked at Xie Anlan's back, thought for a while and told the maid who was kneeling on the ground, "Ask the imperial doctor to take care of her."

Then he gave orders to the guards behind him, "Go and find some adults from the cabinet."

After receiving the order, the people around Xie Cangming started to move.

Originally, in this spring search, everyone put down the government affairs at hand and concentrated on relaxing, but because of the matter of Princess Snow Country, they had to get busy again.

"Your Majesty, the alliance between the two countries is no different from the friendship between the two surnames. Since Prince Chen has already married a concubine, why bother to make Princess Xueguo become a side concubine? I, Da Yong, have countless good men, and the princesses are beautiful and beautiful, and they are all willing to compete to marry each other. "

For this marriage, all the ministers are like a bright mirror in their hearts. Marriage is fine, but it is absolutely not allowed to marry the king.

His Majesty is not even willing to marry ministers like them, let alone the princesses of neighboring countries.

Some thoughtful ministers had already discussed it in private. I am afraid that His Majesty is worried that what the King Chen has done will overwhelm the Lord, so he specially guarded against the King Chen accepting the side concubine.

As long as Chen Wang has no heirs for a day, His Majesty does not need to be wary of Chen Wang.

As soon as this kind of speculation was made, the officials immediately stopped thinking about giving away someone to the Prince Chen's mansion, and they could not sacrifice their lives for the sake of money.

Xie Cangming also had the same intentions. The Lord of the Xue Kingdom specified that Xie Anlan would be his son-in-law. He knew exactly what kind of calculations he was planning.

But now that princess of the Snow Country is acting more and more arrogantly, and if she drags on, there may be another trouble, so he can't help but think about it.

"How can the monarch of the Xue Kingdom persuade him?" Xie Cangming took off the thumb ring and turned it in his hand unconsciously.

It may not be so easy to make the Snow Country Monarch give up.

Xie Anlan has gunpowder, cement, and cotton in his hands, and there may be more surprises. He is like a treasure that is constantly being discovered. Xie Cangming thought that if Xie Anlan was not his younger brother, such a person would not care about him. How to get it.

"Your Majesty, the old minister believes that since the two countries have sincerely formed an alliance and a sincere marriage, and Prince Chen and Concubine Chen have no doubts about their love, why not make it clear to the monarch of Xue Kingdom." Feng Songtai, the chief assistant of the cabinet, hunched over and thought for a while , and smiled to Xie Cangming.

Xie Cangming paused for a while as he turned his fingers, and his brows relaxed.

Feng Songtai has a good saying.

sincerity.

Since the two countries are sincere, don't play with those vain people. He pretended not to know the abacus of the Snow Country, and sincerely formed an alliance with the Snow Country. He also explained the situation of Xie Anlan on Yongchao's side. If the King of the Snow Country still does not agree If they are not scratching their heads, it means that they are not sincere and have other plans.

"Okay, according to what Feng Ge said, send someone to Xueguo to talk to the king of Xueguo." Xie Cangming put his finger on again and agreed with his point of view.

Seeing that Xie Cangming agreed, Feng Songtai didn't show any joy on his face, instead he said, "Your Majesty, as soon as this method comes out, as long as Xue Country and Yong Dynasty form an alliance, His Royal Highness Chen Wang will not be able to accept concubines for a day, otherwise , once Prince Chen accepts his concubine, the monarch of Snow Country will be furious, His Majesty can be sure of this."

Those around Feng Songtai were not worried, but Xie Anlan was the only one worried.

Xie Anlan was not a quiet master in the past, although now that the prodigal son has turned around and looks much more reliable than before, his words and deeds are still frivolous.

Today he can dote on Concubine Chen very much, maybe he can do the same to others in the future.

If it wasn't for his exquisite heart and a pair of hands that turn decay into magic, he would be very suitable for that Snow Country Princess today.

However, if he didn't have this ingenuity and created so many things, today's Yong Dynasty would not be able to form an alliance with the Snow Country.

Feng Songtai frowned. As the chief minister of the cabinet, he had always been very accurate at seeing people, but he couldn't see through the prince Xie Anlan.

Xie Cangming smiled silently when he heard this, last time Xie Anlan and Lu Chengjia had a fight over the side concubine's matter, although the matter had not been publicized, he knew it well, just based on their current situation It was so sticky that others couldn't get in even if they wanted to intervene, so he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Mr. Feng Ge, I will definitely not let Prince Chen accept a concubine in one day."

Xie Cangming made his words so sure, of course Feng Songtai would not pester him anymore, he bowed to Xie Cangming, and went down to order others to do things.

Xie Anlan went back to the tent, she couldn't help leaking about Princess Snow Country being stung by a wasp in the camp.

In fact, it was not a leak, she was helped back by the maid, so many people in the camp were watching, and everyone was not allowed to discuss it in private.

When Lu Chuyi talked about this with Lu Chengjiao in the tent, his stomach ached from laughing, and he rubbed his stomach and said, "Master, you didn't see that Snow Country Princess was swollen all over, her face looked like a Pig head, body like a bear."

Lu Chengjie smiled when he heard the words, "You hate her that much?"

"Of course I hate it. Not only does she want to compete with the young master for the prince, but she also imitates the young master in every way, from dressing up to eating and drinking. It's disgusting to watch. Now she has recruited a bunch of hornets. Look at it." How can she be a good learner." Lu Chuyi couldn't help frowning when talking about Xueling, if the former princess of the Grassland Department was annoying, this Snow Country princess is purely disgusting.

Lu Chengjiao smiled, "I don't think it matters. If she doesn't learn from me, I wouldn't know that I used to be so pure. She is like a mirror for me, showing me my shortcomings."

Lu Chuyi answered, "That's young master, you are broad-minded and don't care about others. If you try it with an outside lady, if you encounter this kind of thing, it would be considered kind of you not to go up and use your nails to paint her face." gone."

Lu Chengjie smiled and stopped talking.

Xie Anlan was outside the tent, quietly waiting for them to finish talking, and then went in with the prey given by her brothers.

Seeing the pile of prey in his hand, Lu Chengjie raised his eyebrows and asked, "How many more brothers are you looking for?"

"No, they gave it on their own initiative." Xie Anlan put the prey in the pile that Lu Chengjia had killed, and explained.

Looking at the prey piled up like a hill in the tent, Lu Chengjie pursed his lips and said with a smile, "The record officer will come later, maybe we can really win the first place this time."

"That's not because my daughter-in-law is so good." Xie Anlan washed her hands and couldn't help pinching Lu Chengjia's smooth cheek.

"No." Lu Chengjie tilted his head slightly, looked at the prey brought back by Xie Anlan, and complimented, "It's because His Highness has a group of good brothers."

"Yes, if I don't have a good second brother, my wife will be gone." Xie Anlan hugged Lu Chengjiao's slender waist, hugged him, and said with a smile in his ear.

Lu Chengjie glanced at Lu Chuyi who was snickering aside, coughed and watched his toes fall silent.

Sure enough, not long after, the recording officer came to record the prey. When he saw the prey piled up in the tent, he was the first to be shocked.

After the guards finished counting, they were even more surprised, recorded everything on paper, and went to another tent.

At night, clusters of bonfires rose again in the camp, and all the ministers, together with the kings and grandchildren, gathered around the bonfires to roast food, secretly excited.

Even though the Snow Country Princess incident happened, it still didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the officials.

They quietly waited for His Majesty to announce the hunting ranking later.

Among them, Xie Guanchao is the most proud. He is not good at anything else, but he is a good hunter. Among the brothers, he fights the most, and with his subordinates fighting, he can be in the top few rounds.

Seeing Xie Anlan pull the landing and ride out of the tent, he raised his eyebrows at Xie Anlan proudly, "Seventh brother, there is still enough to eat, if it is not enough, just ask brother, brother can't give you anything else, but this prey is absolutely delicious. Can manage enough."

"No need," Xie Anlan waved his hand at him, "What the brothers gave is enough for food."

Xie Guanchao still vividly recalled the scene of Xie Anlan pulling the landing boat and shouting hunger in front of him, and joked at him, "It's enough, but don't starve you and the princess again, pitifully begging for food everywhere, a big man can't support you." Speaking of my daughter-in-law, it's really pitiful."

Xie Anlan was in a good mood today without that Princess of the Snow Country swaying in front of her eyes. It was rare that she didn't care about Xie Guanchao. She nodded and took Lu Chengjiao to her bonfire, and took out the prey that Lu Chuyi had handled. .

The two leaned together, watching the wild animals that were gradually ripening and dripping oil on the fire, sprinkled with Xie Anlan's secret barbecue seasoning, and the aroma of the barbecue wafted for several miles.

Xie Guanchao was right next to Xie Anlan, and was the first to smell it. Seeing the seasoning powder that Xie Anlan kept sprinkled in his hands, his eyes became greedy, "Seventh brother, give me some of your spices too."

"Here." Xie Anlan generously handed him a package of barbecue seasoning wrapped in oiled paper.

"Thank you." Xie Guanchao took the seasoning, thanked him hastily, and impatiently opened the oil paper, imitating Xie Anlan's technique and sprinkled it.

Knowing that he was going to hunt earlier, Xie Anlan prepared a lot of barbecue seasonings. Seeing that there was still a pile of seasonings beside him, he said to the people beside him while spreading the seasonings, "Take the boat, help me to give the remaining seasonings to others. A few brothers sent it."

"Okay." Lu Chengjia took six oil-paper bags, got up and went to the bonfires of several other princes.

At this time, the scent from Xie Anlan's place had already spread out, and the other princes looked at Xie Anlan curiously, before they could ask, they saw Lu Chengjie appearing in front of them holding a seasoning packet.

Lu Chengjie not only gave them seasoning packets, but also gently taught them how to sprinkle and how much to sprinkle.

When he went back, the other princes and concubines were full of praise for him.

Xie Anlan watched him come back with flushed cheeks, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Well, brothers treat you well, right?"

"En." Lu Chengjie squatted down, spread his hands, and put the things that other princes in his arms gave back one by one on the grass.

Xie Anlan took a look, some were wild fruits picked in the mountains and forests, and some were cakes and drinks brought from the imperial capital.

The wild things on the fire rack still need to be roasted for a while before they are cooked. Xie Anlan is afraid that he will be hungry, "Be hungry, if you are hungry, pick up some stuffing to wrap your stomach, and it will be fine later."

"Fortunately, I'm not very hungry." Lu Chengjie said so, but he held a green wild fruit in his hand, wiped it clean with a handkerchief, and took a bite.

Xie Anlan was about to ask if it was sour, when Lu Chengjiao's eyes widened and he exclaimed in surprise, "It's so sweet."

"Really?" Xie Anlan was aroused by him even though he wasn't interested at first, "Give me a taste too."

Without saying a word, Lu Chengjie brought the wild fruit to Xie Anlan's lips.

Xie Anlan took a bite, and in an instant a bitter and astringent taste spread all over his mouth.

Xie Anlan spat out the bitter flesh in his mouth, looked at Lu Chengjie who was smiling smirking aside, and remained silent for a while, then raised his hand full of seasoning oil and smeared it on his face, "Let you lie to me again, this It's punishment."

"Soldiers never tire of cheating." Lu Chengjia threw away the astringent and bitter fruit in his hand, drank some water, rinsed his mouth, and didn't care about the face that had already been spent.

"The acting skills are pretty good, Lu Chengjie." At this time, the wild animals on the grill had been roasted, and Xie Anlan tore a leg with him, "The acting is as good as it really is."

Lu Chengjie accepted Xie Anlan's commendation, swallowed it in two or three bites, smiled at Xie Anlan, and said ambiguously, "I am not only good at acting, but also better at ventriloquism. Do you want to try it, Your Highness?"

Xie Anlan was caught off guard by him and blushed. She lowered her head and ate two mouthfuls of her own roasted game, "I learned some messy things from someone."

"You." Lu Chengjia looked into Xie Anlan's eyes and said with certainty.

"How could I?" Xie Anlan felt that Lu Chengjia was simply slandering him.

"Do you need me to recall memories for you?" Lu Chengjie approached Xie Anlan and whispered, "The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the flower hall, the eighth day of February, the bathing pool, the beginning of March..."

Before Lu Chengjie finished speaking, Xie Anlan immediately interrupted him with a flushed face, "Cough, stop talking..."

Lu Chengjiao looked at Xie Anlan's ears that turned red, and curled his lips.

I finally understood why Xie Anlan always liked to tease him. It turned out that seeing people blushing and panicked was so pleasant.

"Seventh brother, is it not delicious to roast?" Xie Guanchao who was next to him couldn't help asking when he saw that he roasted two wild animals but refused to eat them, but whispered head to head.

"...cough" The fifth princess tugged at the corner of his clothes in embarrassment, she was really going to be stunned by Xie Guanchao, obviously he didn't focus on eating, so why did he go up and make trouble.

"Why are you pulling my clothes?" Xie Guanchao asked displeasedly when he saw his princess pulling his clothes.

The fifth princess was so angry that he let go of his clothes, and directly picked up the wild thing on the grill. She should eat, and what to do with this stupid elm head.

As soon as he took a bite of the barbecued meat on the wooden stick, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he grabbed Xie Guanchao's clothes corner with his hands, and said excitedly, "Your Highness, Your Highness, it's delicious, it's so delicious."

Hearing about eating, Xie Guanchao also temporarily forgot about Xie Anlan, took his share from the fifth princess, and couldn't wait to take a bite, and like the fifth princess, he became excited instantly, "It's so delicious, I've never eaten it before. Such a delicious roast.”

"Yeah." The fifth princess nodded vigorously in agreement, holding the wooden stick in her jade finger, and couldn't stop talking at all.

Enjoy it carefully, the spicy taste of fresh barbecue in this hemp.

Xie Anlan looked at this pair of living treasures, smiled, and felt hungry, and tore some barbecue and Lu Chengjiao, the two of them stopped making noise and concentrated on filling their stomachs.

I don't know if there was a food broadcast on the scene, but Xie Anlan also felt that the barbecue tonight was extraordinarily delicious.

The aroma of barbecue from the seven royal brothers mixed together and directly spread to every corner of the camp.

It aroused the gluttons in the stomachs of all the ministers, and even the guards outside the camp were secretly swallowing their saliva.

Xie Anlan was not stingy, and directly gave the seasoning packets to the cooks in the camp, let them roast the meat, and also shared a share with the guards and other ministers.

After eating almost, Xie Cangming announced today's highlight.

The ranking of this spring search.

"I'm definitely number one!"

Xie Guanchao affirmed to Xie Anlan who was beside him confidently.

Xie Anlan's curiosity arose, "Why did Fifth Brother see it?"

"I just quietly inquired around, and they didn't play as much as me. This time, I will definitely be the first."

After Xie Guanchao had eaten his fill, he ran to a group of ministers to solicit conversations, so he was asking this question.

Xie Anlan smiled and flattered him, "Then congratulate Fifth Brother in advance for winning the laurel crown."

"Where, where, it's also a fluke." Xie Guanchao likes others to hold him the most. Hearing Xie Anlan say this, he laughed happily. , maybe in three to five years, you can surpass me."

"I have to practice for three to five years?" Xie Anlan gave up when he heard this, and with these three to five years, there was nothing wrong with doing it.

"Three to five years is short. If you want to practice better, it will take ten years." Xie Guanchao saw Xie Anlan's lack of interest, and said again.

"Oh?" Xie Anlan raised her eyebrows, looked at Xie Guanchao's arm, and asked, "The fifth brother is so good, how many years have he been practicing?"

"No." Xie Guanchao shook his head and smiled, "I just practice occasionally, talent, talent, all talent."

"Fifth brother is very talented, better than some generals." Xie Anlan followed his words.

Xie Guanchao's smile paused for a moment, he is the prey that the lord is looking for, who dares to snatch it, and some generals even help him fight, so naturally he has the most prey, but he didn't tell Xie Anlan about this, and echoed, "It's just average so-so."

At this time, the eunuchs at Xie Cangming's place had already reached the top ten.

Xie Guanchao immediately stopped talking, and listened nervously while clenching his fists.

He had already asked Xie Cangming, the first thing he could get was a jade wishful.

Yu Ruyi, since Xie Cangming came to the throne, when has he been so generous, so this spring search he is also working hard.

"Second, His Royal Highness King Beiji."

When the eunuch read Xie Guanchao, Xie Guanchao was stunned for a while, as if he couldn't believe it, he stood up suddenly, blushed and asked the eunuch who read the name, "Who, who is the first."

The eunuch looked at Xie Anlan who was beside Xie Guanchao, and smiled at Xie Guanchao, "Return to Your Highness, the first one belongs to His Highness Prince Chen."

"What?" Xie Guanchao seriously suspected that he was hallucinating in his ears. He picked his ears and asked again, "Say it again, who is the number one?"

"Returning to Your Highness, it is His Royal Highness Chen Wang." The eunuch repeated fearlessly, "His Royal Highness Chen not only hunted enough prey, but also hunted a deer."

This time not only Xie Guanchao was shocked, even Xie Cangming and the others were shocked.

Xie Guanchao hadn't recovered from the strength of falling first and second, and asked Xie Anlan, "Did you not know how to ride a horse yesterday?"

Xie Anlan nodded, "Yes."

Xie Guanchao asked again, "Did you not catch a single prey yesterday, and you can't even support your wife?"

Xie Anlan did not refute, "Yes."

Xie Guanchao was vaguely angry, "Then tell me, how does a person who can't ride a horse and hunt yesterday manage to become so good at riding and hunting overnight."

Xie Anlan put her arms around Lu Chengjiao in front of her, and said with a smile, "Fifth brother is right, I'm just a waste who can't afford a wife, so I rely on my wife to support me."

Lu Chengjie thanked Guanchao with an embarrassed smile, "Fifth Brother, I hunted those prey, and of course it's also thanks to Fifth Brother who gave me more, otherwise this laurels must belong to Fifth Brother."

Lu Chengjie was telling the truth, he listened carefully just now, there was not much difference between them and Xie Guanchao, if he didn't send them off, and if he got rid of another deer, Xie Guanchao would be the first one.

Xie Guanchao looked at Lu Chengjiao, and then at the princess who was sitting next to him, who was still grilling meat slowly, and his eyes turned red with anger.

"Why don't you give Yu Ruyi to Fifth Brother?" Lu Chengjia had plenty of such things, but he didn't care, seeing Xie Guanchao sitting by the campfire again, staring at the flames in a daze, he couldn't bear to say.

"No need." Xie Guanchao didn't have a hobby of robbing his younger brother, so he turned to Xie Anlan and asked, "Seventh brother, can we discuss it?"

Xie Anlan, "What discussion?"

Xie Guanchao pursed his lips, "Can we exchange the princess?"

Xie Anlan's hair was black, and he hugged the person in his arms tightly, saying, "No way!"

"Thanks, Guan, Chao!" The fifth concubine was on the side, and when she heard that Xie Guanchao wanted to replace her, she exploded with anger.

It just so happened that the father and brother of the fifth princess were in the camp, seeing their daughter and sister being bullied, they reported it directly to Xie Cangming.

Xie Cangming asked them to handle the housework by themselves on the grounds that the upright officials continued to do housework.

The last night of Luming Mountain ended in the farce where Xie Guanchao was chased and beaten by the Fifth Princess.
