Concubine Zhuang asked the maid to take out the wine jar, and smiled coquettishly: "Look, Your Majesty, the concubine also brought fine wine to reward the princes for their brave hunting."

Emperor Zhong Cheng nodded in satisfaction: "My concubine has a heart."

Immediately ordered Wang Lin to fill up the highnesses.

While toasting, Concubine Zhuang accidentally spilled the wine bottle, and the clear liquid spilled all over the floor.

Emperor Zhongcheng was about to ask Wang Lin to clean up, but Concubine Zhuang covered her mouth and smiled cleverly: "Why bother Wang Gonggong, isn't there a slave behind His Majesty?"

He paused for a moment, and turned his head to see Duan Fei, dressed in red and kneeling barefoot.

Emperor Zhongcheng did not expect Concubine Zhuang Gui to come.

Therefore, the side position was originally reserved for Duan Fei.

Before getting up from the bed, he still put his arms around Duan Fei and said that he wanted to show him how brave his sons were, but now he could only let him kneel aside and let Zhuang Zhiyin order him.

"Duan Fei..."

The beauty in red raised her eyes to look at him, her phoenix eyes were deep and indifferent, not even the slightest bit of resentment, but as cold and indifferent as ever.

The few traces of guilt in Emperor Zhong Cheng's heart were instantly dispelled by this cold and arrogant attitude.

He withdrew his pity and said lightly, "Come here and clean up this place."

Duan Fei stared at him in silence for a long time, then said yes in a low voice, knelt down and wiped the wine away with his sleeve.

Concubine Zhuang glanced at him with a smile: "Commander Duan, I don't have the strength in my hands, can I bother you to make a dish by the way?"

The dark guard is the most humble servant in the palace.

Even a group of rootless eunuchs in Dongchang are more respected than them.

But this slave who specializes in murder is different from the slave who commits himself to serve.

The dark guard has his own pride.

Concubine Zhuang Gui wanted to smash his pride in front of everyone, so that everyone could see that in front of her, Zhuang Zhiyin, a slave is a slave, no matter how favored he is, he is still a humble slave.

Seeing this scene, Duan Yue suddenly became furious, holding the third prince's hand, he couldn't help but grasp it tightly.

Duan Fei has been in the palace for more than ten years, and he has been by his side since Emperor Zhongcheng was not enthroned.

Abandoning the family, abandoning dignity, willing to degenerate, just to protect the young man in fresh clothes and angry horse in his mind.

The palace only knew that there was a ruthless and merciless beauty commander in the Dark Guard Camp, but they didn't know how much he had paid for Emperor Zhong Cheng's way of becoming an emperor!

The third prince frowned in pain, turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

Duan Yue gritted his teeth and retracted his gaze, suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes, and said calmly, "Your Highness, I'm a little scared."

Afraid that I couldn't hold back alone, I violently killed the pair of dogs and men.

"Don't be afraid." The third prince would be wrong, and patted him on the shoulder with a face of reliability, "If the father scolds you later, my highness will say that the fall off the cliff was caused by Duan Chuchu, and it has nothing to do with you .”

Duan Yue turned to look at him: "Fortunately, Your Highness, you are not the son of Concubine Zhuang."

Otherwise, I would have strangled you.

The third prince didn't realize it, and thought that he hated Concubine Zhuang as much as he did himself, and complained angrily on the spot: "That's right, that vixen did not know what kind of sorcery he used to fascinate the royal father so much that he didn't even look at the concubine mother." .”

Duan Yue thought to himself, idiot, your mother and concubine will be the queen in the future, and her methods are as clever as Zhuang Zhiyin's.

While speaking, Duan Fei had already left.

Emperor Zhongcheng told him to change his clothes and come back again.

Before leaving, he raised his head and glanced at Duan Yue from the corner of his eye.

Duan Yue understood what he meant, it was nothing more than not allowing himself to act impulsively.

After all, he, like the commander, is a plaything in the hands of Emperor Zhongcheng.Duan Yue understands very well, besides, he is already different from his previous life, and will no longer be hysterical because of that little injustice.

All kinds of things in his previous life made him understand a truth, only power is the best way to shut people up.

At this moment, the sky is getting late, and the setting sun adds a layer of gold to the snow-falling mountains and forests.

The atmosphere in the banquet was getting hotter, and Emperor Zhongcheng announced the opening of the banquet.

Wang Lin presented the roster, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty knows things like a god, and this winter hunting is indeed the most rewarding for His Highness the Fourth Highness."

"The fourth child will never disappoint me."

Emperor Zhongcheng smiled and looked at the silent King Jing, "I promised at the beginning that the one who wins the first place will be qualified to take away my favorite Xuanwei."

Also called Duan Yue: "Yun Yue, come forward."

In a panic, the third prince immediately grabbed Duan Yue's wrist: "Royal father!"

"Third brother, I'm willing to bet and lose. You got 41 and the fourth got 160. You can't ask me to be partial."

"Duan Chuchu must have cheated, he couldn't even draw his bow!"

Prince Jing lowered his eyes and didn't respond.

His Highness the Fourth Highness has been pampered since he was a child, and it is well known that his martial arts are not proficient.

But no matter how bad the archery skills are for the children of the general family, how bad can they be.

He said, "Give me a bow."

Wang Lin hesitated.

Who dares to hold a sword in front of the royal driver?

For a moment no one paid any attention to him.

Duan Yue stood up, took out the longbow on his back, and swung it in the air: "Fourth Highness, take it!"

With the longbow in his hand, Prince Jing's peach blossom eyes were instantly sharp. He bent the bow and set an arrow, and shot an arrow in the direction of the third prince without any hesitation.

Duan Yue suddenly mentioned the third prince, and pulled back, barely avoiding the arrow.

The third prince forced a drop of cold sweat on his forehead, and his face was pale: "Duan Chuchu! Do you want to kill His Highness!"

Prince Jing put down his bow and arrow, and kept his eyes calm and self-possessed: "I just want to ask my third brother to see if I can draw the bow or not."

Duan Yue said coldly: "The servant was ordered by the Third Highness to send the Fourth Highness a longbow to save the siege. Who would have thought that the Fourth Highness would be able to attack his own brother. It is really impressive."

Originally it was Duan Yunpei who was aggressive, but Prince Jing's arrow shot was at best a counterattack under unbearable humiliation.

But Duan Yue fought back in such a narrow-minded way, and instead became Prince Jing.

The banquet was full of courtiers, who would dare to risk their lives to follow a violent lord.

It can be said that after Prince Jing, most of the Chaotang Road was destroyed by Duan Yue before it even started.

That's right, Duan Yue did it on purpose.

He doesn't care about it, but it doesn't mean that he has forgotten the humiliation in the past, it's just that he didn't have the right time to fight back.

Prince Jing's eyes were deep, and he looked directly at him for a few breaths.

His eyes were so clear that he couldn't tell he was half-blind.

Just when Duan Yue thought he was going to get angry, he looked away, threw the bow and arrow to the ground, lifted his robe and knelt down: "Father, I know I was wrong. Since the third brother is so obsessed with Duan Shiliu, son The minister is willing to help the third brother."

Emperor Zhong Cheng frowned, his corner of the eye inadvertently glanced at Duan Yue.

Such a development, I'm afraid even he didn't expect it.

However, he quickly adjusted and comforted him: "So, how unfair it is to the fourth brother, so how about it, what kind of reward does the fourth child want, even though speaking, I am satisfied."

King Jing cupped his hands: "My son is not young, and I am willing to relieve my father's worries. I also ask my father to agree that my son can join the Jinyiwei to handle cases and serve the people."

Emperor Zhong Cheng narrowed his eyes: "You said, you want to join Jinyiwei?"

This tone is already very dangerous.

Now among the princes, only the eldest prince Duan Yunjue is running around in the army, even the second prince Duan Yunrui, who is so smart, is still idle in the palace, learning things that are not needed all day long.

Duan Chuchu is only so old, he wants to join Jinyiwei.

To put it bluntly, the wolf's ambition is obvious.

The atmosphere at the entire banquet was quiet, with an unknown dull tension spreading.

Prince Jing didn't panic at all, and said calmly, "Yes."

Emperor Zhongcheng sneered: "Okay, then I will fulfill you."

He asked the commander of Jinyiwei who was sitting below: "Lin Aiqing, is there any vacancy in the fourteenth guard of Jinyiwei?"

Commander Lin was in a dilemma: "Returning to Your Majesty, the fourteen guards are full of thousands of households. If the Fourth Highness wants to enter, I'm afraid we can only start from the lowest flag..."

"It doesn't matter, if you want to practice, naturally start from the bottom, fourth, what do you think?"

King Jing knelt down: "What your father said is very true, thank you for your reward."

Emperor Zhongcheng didn't speak, but Concubine Zhuang covered her mouth and smiled: "I can't see that His Highness Fourth is so eager to learn, Old Seven, just look at you, you know how to read, and you don't know how to learn from your fourth brother."

It's all sarcasm.

The Seventh Prince sat alone in the corner, and when he heard this, he just smiled apologetically at Prince Jing.

A school of gentleness and elegance, and does not add insult to injury.

When King Jing returned to his seat, he passed by Duan Yue, his eyes were dull, and he said in a low voice, "I have kept my promise."

Duan Yue looked at him in surprise.

What's the matter, what does this man mean? He still wants him to praise him for failing.Do you want to make a face.

After all, Prince Jing did not choose Xuanwei, the rest of the princes will be rewarded next.

Just looking at the prey, the third prince is next, followed by the second prince, and then down, there are the sixth prince and the ninth prince, and the seventh prince is the least.

At this time, everyone still doesn't know what earth-shattering things the silent sixth prince has done.

The third prince pulled Duan Yue enthusiastically: "Fourth idiot, let such a good slave like you not want it, Baba ran to Jinyiwei to suffer, what a fool."

He held his hand tightly again, with a serious expression on his face: "Don't worry, my highness will never abandon you, and when my father asks about it, I will ask you to come."

Duan Yue thought to himself, you are the stupid spore, even Jin Yiwei will belong to Prince Jing in the future, you will not have time to cry then.

He respectfully said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

Soon, Emperor Zhongcheng called the third prince to come forward.

Duan Yunpei stood up excitedly.

"Sixteen! Just wait, His Highness will go to ask you now."

Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhong Cheng called him not for reward at all, but said: "Third brother, you wait a little bit later and ask your sixth younger brother to choose first."

The third prince's eyes widened: "Why!"

Wang Lin smiled helplessly at the side: "Your Highness the Third Highness doesn't know, but His Highness Sixth Highness is really lucky. This time, he hunted the rare and exotic white peacock. This one alone is worth fifty ordinary prey. Calculated like this, six The prince has a dozen more than you."

The third prince's face turned dark.

Originally, he had the chance to win, but now he was humiliated again and again. His expression could no longer be described as embarrassing.

"A mere white peacock..."

Concubine Zhuang said angrily: "Your Highness, be careful! This is not an ordinary white peacock. This is the angel in the parable of the celestial master. How can it be insulted to come down to protect the sage?"

Emperor Zhongcheng asked: "Lao Liu, do you have a favorite candidate?"

After the sixth prince saluted, he immediately turned his head and stared at Duan Yue without blinking.

"Go back to the father, the son and the minister have it."
