My white moonlight, he pretends to be sick again

After Shao Yunlang changed into his riding clothes, he and his Xuan-level classmates lined up to wait for the emperor to inspect them, only then did he realize that his prince brother had also come.

The teenagers around were also talking about it, obviously no one had heard the news before.

However, the prince came as soon as he came, and did not cause much disturbance. This group of children from the aristocratic family had also seen His Highness at various banquets, and they just discussed a few words before they dispersed.

Only Shao Yunlang raised his head calmly and looked in the direction of Guanhai Terrace.

It was too far away, and he couldn't even see the expressions of his father and brother on the high platform clearly. He just felt that it was not a good thing for his eldest brother to pay attention.

It was still a sunny day during the chess skill assessment in the morning, and now it was snowing lightly. On the martial arts arena under Taixueguanhaitai, there were all tall and straight young men in black riding suits, with long knives in their hands shining brightly, Dazzling against the snow.

Yuan, who hadn't seen him for a long time, was sitting under the emperor's head, stroking his gray beard and smiling, "Your Majesty, this row is the best Xuan-level students this year, and it's all thanks to His Majesty Longze's blessing to have such a beautiful appearance." .”

The emperor's waist has been hurting more and more every year for the past two years, so he can only stretch his neck and look at the audience, "Okay, okay, youthful spirit, reminds me of when I was a teenager, these children are heavenly stems? The girl at the head, Is it Xiao Lian from the Jingguo family? The two boys next to him look strange..."

Yuanzheng's expression instantly became awkward when he heard the words, and he cupped his hands and replied, "Your Majesty, the young man on the left is the eldest son of Gu Xiang's family. His name is Yuanzheng, and he is Zedui. The one on the right..."

Shao Yunting continued with a smile, "Father, that's Xiao Wu."

"Really?" Emperor Qing'an took another look, "The child looks different every day, and he looks pretty good. How is he doing in this year's assessment?"

The principal replied: "Your Majesty the Fifth Highness may be sensible this year. He worked hard in his studies and completed the assessment very well. He passed the first grade in the four subjects yesterday, and his chess skills in the morning also improved a lot as in previous years, and he got a second grade. His Majesty also taught him. Well done."

Emperor Qing'an looked quite surprised, and then looked down several times, with some gratification in his cloudy eyes, "Yes, I always thought he was useless before, after all, he has the blood of Hu Ji... now that Come on, you can actually give me some face, and whether you stay in Beijing or go to the fief, I can rest assured."

Hearing the phrase "Stay in Beijing", Shao Yunting calmly picked up the teacup in front of him.

The tea was still warm, but the heat had almost dissipated. Seeing this, the maid in palace costume standing beside him bowed to change the tea for him, and couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "These servants are also blamed for their lack of winks. They haven't left yet, stay here." What kind of herbal tea..."

Shao Yunting paused.

The emperor asked a few more questions about Shao Yunlang's recent situation, and he really looked like an ordinary father.

The prince listened for a while, took the hot tea, and took a sip calmly.

He stroked the teacup with his fingertips. Some people are used to drinking herbal tea all their lives. If they get hot tea once in a while, will they be greedy for the taste and have many delusions?

On the martial arts arena, the youngsters put their blades back into their sheaths neatly, and even when the weapons clanked, they revealed some determination that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

Shao Yunting lowered his gaze, meeting Shao Yunlang's gaze just in time.

The two brothers who are connected by blood only looked at each other for a moment through the wind and snow, and Shao Yunlang took the lead to look away.

After the martial arts performance was over, the youngsters from each family led their horses, and amidst the sound of long horns, they rode their horses into the woods of the back mountain.

Hundreds of small wild animals were released in this forest. Among them, a snow fox without a single fur was the winner. He received a Ruyi handle inlaid with emeralds and gold, and on it was the five characters "Ruyi Ping Qingyun" inscribed by the emperor himself.

This is naturally a great honor, and the youngsters of every family naturally don't want to let go of this opportunity to show their faces.

Each of them prepared thirty feathered arrows in their quiver, with the names of the students marked on the end, and there was no need to waste time to pick up the prey after they hit the prey, as the forest servants would come and go and count them.

Wild cats, rabbits, young deer, young wolves, foxes... Different animals also have different scores. How to use countless arrows to get a high rating within the specified time is naturally a matter of calculation.

Several fast horses passed through the forest, kicking up snow and dust, Shen Rui shot an arrow through a rabbit's body, let out a long laugh, and continued to chase the frightened deer with a rein.

After he left, a small snowpack under the root of the tree moved, revealing a pointed gray ear, and then a small black nose with an inverted triangle arched the snowdrift, sniffing vigilantly.

After a while, the little snow bag moved, and a gray-black little wolf poked its head out. This little thing about seven inches long was very cunning. It took only a stick of incense to enter the forest, but he actually dug a snow pit under the snow. He escaped several rounds of searches without moving.

It's just that it is still a wolf cub after all, and its endurance is not as good as that of an adult wolf. After being locked in a cage for so long, it was already dizzy from hunger. At this moment, it smelled the smell of Shen Rui's dead rabbit, and finally couldn't hold back.

It crawled cautiously on the snow, and its ears were listening to the surrounding movement while getting close to the rabbit. Once there was a sound of horseshoes, it would immediately retract into the snow pit.

On the low slope, Shao Yunlang took out the feather arrow from the quiver, strung the string and drew the bow.

As the distance got closer, the little thing would be aware of it, so he was extremely far away, and with the wind and snow, it almost reached the limit of vision.

The young man exerted strength in his arms, and the bowstring was stretched to the extreme.

At this time, in the back mountain forest, there was the sound of feathered arrows piercing the air from time to time, tearing the silence. Gu Yuanzheng rode a snow-white horse pacing in the forest. What kind of white fox are you looking for? I just want to find Shao Yunlang.

Just now, the spy of Prime Minister's Mansion took the opportunity of giving away the riding boots and sent him the news that he had been investigating.

Previously, because of Jiang Pei, the commander of the imperial army, he and Shao Yunlang believed that the person behind the buying and selling of Dikun was the third prince, King Ying, but there was no certainty, and Gu Yuanzheng still felt that it was not safe enough, so he sent someone to Qingzhou to trace the origin , and at the same time checked the details of the Jiang family.

This is not Qingping County, where the Gu family cultivated their influence early in the morning. They are also newcomers, and it is extremely difficult to investigate these two matters, which took a lot of time.

Qingzhou has not responded yet, but the people who check Jiangpei have dug up some clues.

Jiang Pei's son-in-law married the third prince as his concubine. On the surface, everyone would think that Jiang Pei belonged to King Ying. The son was recommended by the servant of the household department to join the household department, and is under the control of the prince.

The one who wanted to plot against Shao Yunlang that day might not be the king of Ying, but it could also be the crown prince.

The prince has been away from Taixue for more than ten years, and has never come back, but he came back today, I am afraid that something abnormal will happen.

Gu Yuanzheng would rather be thinking too much.

He and Shao Yunlang entered the mountain from two directions. When entering the mountain, he couldn't make any changes under the eyes of everyone, so he had to look for people after entering the mountain.

The horse felt his emotions and paced anxiously on the spot twice. Gu Yuanzheng pinched the horse's belly with his calf, tightened the rein and was about to turn around.

Someone came from the forest, saw him here, stopped his horse, greeted him with a smile, "Young Master Gu, how is your record?"

It's Yu Wenlian.

It was just a casual greeting, but Yu Wenlian was slightly taken aback by Gu Yuanzheng's gloomy expression, "You..."

"Have you ever met His Highness Fifth?" Gu Yuanzheng asked in a deep voice.

"Ah?" Yu Wenlian returned to his senses and nodded hurriedly: "Walking down the frozen river, I saw His Highness the Fifth Prince just now..."

Before he finished speaking, the horse neighed, and passed her by in a few breaths, leaving her muttering in bewilderment, "What's the matter?"

Liangju walked quite fast, and when he was walking down the river for half a cup of tea, Gu Yuanzheng saw Shao Yunlang in a black dress in the forest.

The young man was not even hunting, he was holding the rein in one hand and holding something in the other, and let the horse tread snow in the forest as he strolled leisurely.

Shao Yunlang also saw him, raised his hand and said, "Brother Gu!"

When Gu Yuanzheng came in front of him, he immediately noticed something was wrong, rode his horse and took a closer look, and frowned: "What's wrong with your face? Where did you get it shaved?"

Gu Yuanzheng was taken aback for a moment, and raised his hand to rub his cheeks, only to feel a tingling pain, probably because he was scratched and torn by the low bushes on the river beach when he took a shortcut just now.

He didn't care much, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Jiang family and the crown prince are also involved. This time he came to Taixue, I always feel that he has bad intentions."

Shao Yunlang didn't look too surprised, he took out a silk from his arms and handed it to Gu Yuanzheng, "Wipe your face first."

Gu Yuanzheng took it as he said, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the little thing that was still shaking in his arms.

It was a wolf cub.

"I also think that Shao Yunting is a weasel giving chicken New Year's greetings." Shao Yunlang paused, "But what else can he do in broad daylight? Do you think we two think too much..."

"Your Highness Fifth! Gu Yuanzheng!"

From far away, someone called them, "Something went wrong! Hurry up and gather in the martial arts arena!"

The two looked at each other, and Shao Yunlang raised his voice and asked, "Please ask me, what happened?"

The man said again: "Ding Luyang is dead!"

……

If someone lost their life, the assessment couldn't continue. Everyone was called back to the martial arts arena one after another. Shao Yunlang and Gu Yuanzheng were the late comers. As soon as they entered the arena, they noticed that the eyes of the people around them were quite strange. .

Shao Yunlang got off his horse, threw the whip and wolf cubs to the handyman who was serving him, strode through the crowd, and walked straight to Shen Rui.

Before Shen Rui could speak, he asked, "Ding Luyang is dead? Did I kill him?"

Shen Rui screamed immediately: "His uncle! Is it really you?!"

"That's what your eyes say." Shao Yunlang sneered, "Of course not, so why are you looking at me like that?"

Shen Rui opened his mouth, and suddenly he smelled an extremely powerful letter.

The smell was mixed in the cold wind, but it was a little bit colder than Dongxue, but it was only faintly visible, and it made Shen Rui tremble as if he was being stared at by a beast, and the hairs on his back stood on end.

He raised his head and looked at Gu Yuanzheng standing behind Shao Yunlang with a sullen face in astonishment.

"You..." He slowly opened his eyes wide and said in shock, "Are you heavenly?"

"Tsk... what does it have to do with you?" Shao Yunlang blocked Shen Rui's sight, "So? Look at me for everything?"

Shen Rui recovered, swallowed, and said in a low voice: "The arrow that hit Ding Luyang has your name engraved on the end."

Shao Yunlang: "..."

It's such a cheap method of framing, but his father looked down on him in all kinds of ways, maybe it was really rude and effective.

"Your Majesty is here—"

As soon as the old eunuch's confident voice came out, all the teenagers in the martial arts arena knelt down and saluted neatly, clearing the snow-covered martial arts arena, and it was instantly dark.

The emperor did not sit on the high platform this time.

The eight young eunuchs swiftly set up the warming tent and brought charcoal fire. Shao Yunlang bowed his head and heard the orderly footsteps. As several people came and went, Emperor Qing'an finally sat down and looked up at Shao Yunlang who was kneeling in front of him.

"Tell me yourself." Emperor Qing'an said slowly, "What's going on?"

Only then did Shao Yunlang raise his head, and replied: "I didn't know that someone was killed until I arrived at the martial arts field. I heard from my classmates that the arrow that killed that person had my name on it, but this matter was definitely not my fault."

Emperor Qing'an raised his eyelids, noncommittal.

The father and son looked at each other, and seeing Shao Yunlang's light-colored pupils, Emperor Qing'an frowned. He and Concubine Duan clearly had black pupils, but Shao Yunlang followed the grandmother who was a dancer, which made him feel upset at the sight dry.

He didn't speak, but Prince Shao Yunting respectfully served tea to Emperor Qing'an, "Father, please calm down first. Although Xiao Wu is a bit stubborn, she has become more stable over the years and has never caused any more deaths. There was a misunderstanding..."

"There is no misunderstanding." Shao Yunlang raised the quiver placed by his side, with a sneer on the corner of his lips, "It can only be framed."

He flipped his hand, and the feathered arrows in the quiver fell to the ground one after another. Shao Yunlang sneered and said, "I entered the forest today, but I haven't fired a single arrow. Thirty arrows are all here. I also ask my father to learn from me."

He suddenly froze, as if remembering something, and said: "Although this plan is sinister, it was done hastily and crudely. If Erchen guessed right, there should still be people searching for the prey that Erchen shot in the forest. , As long as the thief hides an arrow, it will be enough to frame the minister, and please ask the father to search the mountains with the Ministry of Punishment to catch the real thief."

Gu Yuanzheng, who was kneeling behind him, withdrew his fingers on his back. Fortunately, everyone lowered their heads, and the two of them were so close that no one noticed this subtle reminder.

Gu Yuanzheng straightened his cuffs unintentionally, stood among the handymen at the door, and quietly retreated one of them.
