Su Yunman had long been suspicious.

The fifth younger brother always likes such interesting things as riding and shooting, but today he even sent someone to report that he is ill. His father would believe it, but he would not.

Not for anything else, just because he knows best in his heart that the fifth child is the closest to Su Yangjiao, even if Su Yangjiao died in the previous life, he has seen the fifth child drinking alone several times, secretly saddened.

However, in the previous life, the fifth child stood behind him and supported him with all his strength, not for other reasons, but because in his heart he was the most respected brother of the fourth child.

As for whether the fifth child is sincere towards him, Su Yunman can't tell.

When it comes to riding and shooting, Su Yunjie is not as good as the fifth child, even compared to the former Su Yangjiao, but today is different, maybe God finally gave him a chance to grow face, Without the fourth and fifth, even King Xun was absent, and he became a dazzling star in the father's emperor.

After noon, Su Yunjie suddenly saw a deer, the male deer with huge horns, only glanced at him with wet eyes, then was so frightened that he burrowed hard into the forest.

Su Yunman tightened his grip on the horse's belly and hurriedly chased after it, hooked his hand sideways and shot an arrow, the cluster of arrows rubbed against the stag's skin and stuck vertically on the ground.

Frightened, the stag spread its hooves and ran towards the lake.

Su Yunjie chased after him.

He has never been to this place, perhaps because it is full of gravel and it is difficult to find animals. The forest here has become sparse, and there are mostly boulders with fruit dew on the hillside.

However, Su Yunman sat on the horse, but saw the intimate behavior of the two in the distance clearly.

Su Yangjiao leaned back on the small tree trunk, holding a large cloth towel in his hand, he wiped the water drops on Wei Nanxun's body, and saw Wei Nanxun kiss the corner of Su Yangjiao's lips.

He asked Su Yangjiao to get closer, and in the next breath, he wrapped the person in his arms.

Su Yunman's body froze.

The distance between them was not too far, just enough for him to see everyone's expressions clearly, as well as those fine and terrifying scars on Wei Nanxun's body.

These were things he had never seen in his previous life.

Perhaps it was too surprised, Su Yunman's feet were unconsciously clamped slightly.

The horse was in pain, kicking the ground and moving, Su Yunmo pulled the rein, turned the horse's head, galloped, and let himself disappear among the mountains and forests.

Between heaven and earth, the distant mountains are boundless, and the round sun is slanting to the west.

Emperor Jiang rode his horse back excitedly, before reaching the big tent, he heard his voice first, "The bow that the fourth brother gave you is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"

Three wonderful characters in a row made the face of the second prince who followed him dark.

Only he knew that the bow had been tampered with.

But now it's useless.

He secretly squeezed his palms tightly, and glanced at Su Yangjiao sitting in the big tent, and the slender figure beside him.

Wei Nanxun happened to be looking this way too, his dark eyes seemed to be sunk in the stars, so beautiful that one couldn't breathe.

But also cold as falling into the abyss.

In a blink of an eye, Emperor Jiang's horse had rushed to the big tent, and the guards behind him were holding the corpses of wild beasts in their hands, and held them up high.

All the officials in the big tent cheered together, shouting long live.

Seeing this situation, Su Yangjiao was also quite proud in his heart. He secretly held Wei Nanxun's palm and said, "This is your credit."

Before I had time to say more, several chasing generals also came back together, and each of them returned with a full reward.

Not long after, a huge fire was ignited in the middle of the grassland.

As the sun set, the flames began to flicker.

Officials from the Ministry of Rituals had already set up the altar, and I saw that Emperor Jiang had changed his attire, the gold-threaded twin dragons with long body scale armor, and the golden phoenix-winged helmet. Several princes stood one by one under the altar, and in the distance there was a dark shadow. For a group of people, this ritual is the highlight of the Qianqiu Banquet every year.

Paying homage to ancestors and praying for protection on the emperor's birthday is more important and respectful.

Military flags were inserted around the altar, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

Light the burnt wood stove, and the incense in the stove rises into a curl of blue smoke. The priest of the ceremony reads the words of the ceremony loudly: dare to tell the world, follow the heavens and set up ginger, and protect the people;

At this moment, a stag was carried up by the crowd.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven kicked off in a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

After all the procedures are completed, it is time to cook sacrifices in the most primitive way and let the princes and ministers take it.

Taking the heaven and the earth as the banquet, the officials in charge of sacrifices from the Ministry of Rites brought the cooked meat to you in front of you.

Then under the scorching sun, you all ate up the sacrificial food in front of you, and this is the ceremony.

When you were eating the sacrifices, two things became the focus of debate.

The first thing is why King Xuan did not participate in the Qianqiu Sacrifice.

The second thing is that the fourth prince did not hand in a decent sacrifice.

Of course, the emperor's answer to someone asking why King Xuan did not participate in the hunting and sacrifice was roughly the same as that of the fifth prince who did not participate, but he was ill and could not get up.

However, when someone asked why the fourth prince did not hunt or offer sacrifices this time, before it was Emperor Jiang's turn to speak, Su Yangjiao leaned on the man next to him and coughed vigorously until his whole body Shaking and blushing, he stopped.

"The fourth prince is weak and not suitable for hunting." The queen sat on the emperor's oblique back side, raised the wine bottle in her hand, and suggested: "Although it is a sacrificial ceremony, the ancestors have explained it. Eating sacrifices is like a family banquet, so it should not be restricted What's more, you are all my talents in the future, so you should open your mind and don't have to be formal."

The Queen's words were full of meaning.

Don't keep staring at the fourth child of my family, the ancestral system does not stipulate that the prince must send sacrifices.

But there are some people who must be relentless.

Minister of Criminal Affairs Chen Yu held up the wine bottle in front of him, saluted the emperor and empress, and then said: "The empress's words are reasonable, and we are not ignorant of etiquette, but the ancestral system also stipulates that if an adult prince participates in the sacrificial ceremony, unless he is disabled ..." He looked at the third prince at the end of the seat, and continued: "Everyone knows like the third prince, and the rest must offer sacrifices to the ancestors in order to show their sincerity. Mr. Wang, do you think so or not?" ?”

What he said was correct, the ancestral system did say that when an adult prince participates in the ceremony, he must offer sacrifices unless he is disabled.

There are no more sacrifices, what is needed is this little intention of praying for the country.

Wang Chi shook his hands and put down the bamboo chopsticks, adjusted Li Baolan's court clothes, and said: "What Chen Shangshu said is true."

Wang Chi knew that he didn't need to say anything more. Standing here, he was a complete book of Jiang Guo's etiquette system, and he couldn't believe what he said.

Empress Ren wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the second prince standing up.

"Master Wang, Lord Chen," he bowed, and said, "The king has received a lot of goods today, so he recorded half of the prey under the name of the fourth brother. The fourth brother is inconvenient, and the elder brother should take care of it." .”

"Half of my prey can also be recorded under the fourth brother's name." The seventh prince also raised his left hand tremblingly, his eyes dodged a bit shy and fearful.

This was Su Luming's first time participating in hunting as an adult.

Jiang Di nodded in satisfaction, brother and brother respect is what he wants to see.

Queen Ren was also extremely satisfied, and gave Su Yunmo a rare and gentle look.

The third prince glared at Su Luming with a sullen face.

But Su Yangjiao stood up suddenly, cleared his throat, and said, "Thank you brothers for your care, but I don't need the extra care of the second brother, and I don't need the kindness of the seventh brother."

He nodded towards Yun Le, who was at the end of the crowd, and Yun Le came up with a huge wooden barrel in both hands.

"My son caught a few fish in the lake over there just now, so let's offer them up as sacrifices."

The faces of several courtiers were a little dark.

I have never heard of lake fish being used as sacrifices, so this is too perfunctory.

Everyone had no choice but to stretch their necks to watch, wanting to see what kind of lake fish the Fourth Prince could offer as a sacrifice.

Could it be a jeweled fish?

There were also people who were sweating because of the four princes, such as Dali Temple Minister Li Shansi, and Dali Temple Chancellor Pei Jie who spoke lightly.

Everyone had their own concerns, the only thing in common was that they were all staring at the bucket that Yun Le was carrying.

Even Emperor Jiang and the Empress didn't look very good. After all, compared with the prey that other people hunted, these few fish were too shabby.

But seeing Su Yangjiao's attitude of being an old god, aroused their interest again.

The lid of the barrel made of fresh grass was slowly opened, and the nearest Jiang Di suddenly opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth slightly, and finally remembered to praise: "These few fishes of the fourth brother are really precious!"

So all the people gathered around, a few golden carp swimming around in the wooden barrel, like ten thousand rays of light coming from the water.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the fish is divine.

It is said that the banquet that followed was very quiet.

"Fourth brother! Fourth brother! See what good things I brought you?"

Before Su Luming took off his armor, he hurriedly walked into the Moon Ridge Hall where Su Yangjiao was staying. The red sash fluttered behind him with the breeze.

Su Yangjiao was talking to Qin Shao, he casually put the palace defense map on the stone table into his sleeve, and greeted him with a smile.

It was only when we got closer that we could see clearly that Su Luming was holding a dead wild duck in his hand.

"Is this your prey?"

Su Luming smiled and mentioned the wild duck, and said: "Yes, I never thought that this wild duck can fly. I thought it was some other bird, but when I shot it, it turned out to be a wild duck."

"How do I submit it to the Ministry of Rites?"

All the prey will be counted and registered by the Ministry of Rituals, and then put on the table as the best of the ceremony.

"I just wanted to eat that duck soup, so I quietly kept this wild duck. I recently came to the palace, and the mats I ate were not good at all. Look, my stomach is growling."

Yun Le ran in, looked at Su Yangjiao embarrassedly, and said, "I went to the dining room, but I didn't see the Seventh Prince coming."

Su Luming was a bit cautious, looked at Yun Le's face, then at Qin Shao who was poking beside him, suddenly blushed and lowered his head, and said, "Fourth brother, did I come here recklessly?"

Su Yangjiao shook his head with a smile, took the bloody duck in his hand, and said, "How come, the seventh brother is willing to come, and the fourth brother can't ask for it."

Yunle received the gaze, and took away the things in Su Yangjiao's hand.

Su Yangjiao ordered again: "Seventh brother likes duck soup, let the small dining room cook it."

After speaking, he said to Su Luming: "Since we're here, let's have dinner together, okay?"

Su Luming nodded obediently, before he dared to reach out and wipe the sweat on his forehead.

Yun Le squeezed the thing in his hand, heavy, he hesitated to speak, at this moment in the small dining room, but he could not afford to offend the boss...

Does he really dare to take it to order?

It's all because His Highness didn't bring an internal servant with him when he went out, and all these things were done by his bodyguard, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him?
