Chapter 20: hunting

In the early morning of the second day, the sky was dim, and the morning and dusk had not dawned, and there was a noise in the open space in the northwest. The children of all families came here for the first time. They knew each other well. After they met, they either greeted the elders or showed their saddle bows and arrows, and they enjoyed themselves for a while.

In the greeting, someone had sharp eyes and saw a group of people walking not far away: “Pei Lang is here.”

Pei Ji’an rode a horse, with a slender shirt and a jade face, and came slowly towards the assembly place with many attendants. When everyone saw Pei Ji’an, they all stepped forward and said: “Pei Lang, you are finally here. Congratulations to you for marrying you and the princess of Guangning. You can do it really well, and keep me quiet, so you can make me the most beautiful. The princess was taken away.”

Pei Ji’an smiled slightly, thanking you one by one: “Thank you for your kindness. After I return to Dongdu, I will set up a wine and entertain you. Please be sure to show your face then.”

The princes responded one after another. They were all of noble birth, wealthy and handsome, and were very good at having fun. After only a few words, they discussed where to go for a drink. The famous restaurants in Beili seemed to them as commonplace. When Pei Ji’an heard it, he frowned slightly, but didn’t say anything.

While everyone was talking, there was the sound of horseshoes in the distance. They turned around and reminded each other: “Prince and King Zhao are here.”

In the direction of Zigui Palace, two young men took the lead and brought a mighty attendant toward them. It was Prince Li Shan and Zhao Wang Lihuai. Behind them were many brightly dressed women, and even worse, some nondescript “men”.

In this fashion weapon, officials do not have the distinction between civil servants and military officers. Perhaps it is said that the officialdom assumes that a man should be both civil and military. Even the three provinces, six ministries, and a group of Zaifu had experience in the military in their early years. If they only know literature and can’t bow horses, they will be laughed at by their colleagues during gatherings.

Men are like this, and women have followed suit. There are not a few noble women who can ride horses and shoot arrows, and even more courageous, they openly disguise themselves as men to travel. The court ordered several reprimands, but it was useless. The princesses and princesses still pretended to be maids as men.

Li Chaoge and Li Changle are also in the team. Li Chaoge has returned to the family and went hunting in the palace. Naturally, she has to follow her brothers and sisters to act together, otherwise she seems very uncomfortable. But in fact, she didn’t want to go with these people.

Li Changle is so novel. He is wearing a men’s suit today, pretending to be mixed with men. I heard that Li Changle still took the clothes with Li Huai. Li Huai was the prince. Naturally, there were a lot of clothes that he didn’t wear. Later, his body grew long and he couldn’t wear it. Li Changle had been grinding for a long time yesterday, and finally got clothes from Li Huai. In the evening, the maid asked Li Chaoge if he wanted to change into men’s clothes, but Li Chaoge refused.

To put it bluntly, the bones of women and men are different. Women are born with soft curves. They can’t support shoulders and chests in men’s clothes. They are not masculine, but are like eunuchs.

Li Chaoge didn’t do this kind of thing, she was generous in wearing women’s Hu clothing. Hufu was originally the costume of the nomads in the Northern Dynasty. Over the years, it has been continuously integrated with Chinese culture. Now it has become a unique landscape of the Tang Dynasty. Li Chaoge’s Hu clothing is white as the background, embroidered with the green and red Zhai bird, and the waist is tied with a red leather belt, protruding her graceful neck, slender limbs, smooth waistline, and riding on a horse. Especially slender legs.

Today, she wore a high ponytail, except for the fixed hairpin, there was no extra jewelry all over her body. It’s not like yesterday’s grand makeup, but this dress makes her more heroic and glamorous. Especially not far away is Li Changle, who looks inexplicably loose in men’s clothing. Li Chaoge’s horse is taller than Li Changle’s, but her legs are longer than Li Changle’s. The contrast is particularly obvious.

Li Chaoge held the rein with one hand, his back was straight, he looked forward, his long legs steadily stepped on the stirrups, while Li Changle beside him was buried in the wide clothes, like a child wearing adult clothes, slouched. If you look at it alone, you can say that Yuxue is cute, but Li Chaoge next to him has a long waist and thin legs, curvy. When two people look at it together, it appears that Li Changle has a bowed waist and a short neck, and the proportions are particularly cruel.

In the face of beauty, cuteness is worthless.

When everyone saw the royal family coming, they all stopped talking, quietly waiting for the arrival of the prince and princesses. Pei Ji’an saw Li Chaoge at a glance, not just him, everyone present? Whether he knew Li Chaoge or not, he couldn’t help but look in her direction at this moment. The beauty is like a jade, her aura is like a rainbow, her face is reflected in the morning light, like a soft light, she looks very seductive.

Pei Ji’an couldn’t help but look at it? A few glances. Nothing else about this woman, her figure is truly unique, no matter where she is the most eye-catching one. After Li Shan and others approached, Pei Ji’an suddenly realized that Li Changle was also there, and he was following Li Chaoge.

He hadn’t noticed at all just now. Embarrassed, Pei Ji’an quickly stepped forward to ask for peace: “See Prince, see King Zhao, see Princess Anding, Princess Guangning.”

Li Shan slowly stopped the horse and exchanged greetings with Pei Ji’an, and the children of other aristocratic families also stepped forward to salute. Li Chaoge was too lazy to listen to their courtesy. She rolled her eyes and asked, “Where is Gu Mingke?”

The children of the aristocratic family who were greeting each other stopped talking and looked at each other, all looking at Pei Ji’an as if they were optimistic. Yesterday, there were frequent news in the palace. First, the lost Princess Anding was found back, and then Pei Ji’an and Princess Guangning were married, and then, the Princess Anding actually fell in love with Pei Ji’an’s cousin!

The news is booming, and now, no one in Zigui Palace doesn’t know that Pei’s family is being photographed by the grace of heaven. Maybe it’s going to be the two princesses?

Pei Ji’an sighed secretly, Li Chaoge really couldn’t stay idle, he would make some noise anytime and anywhere, and refused to settle down for a moment. Pei Ji’an said: “The cousin also came, but the cousin is in poor health and has a quiet temperament, so he went to the clean place to rest his mind.”

Li Chaoge raised his head to look at it, and immediately steered his horse out and walked out: “You don’t need to worry about me, just set off for a while. I will accompany him to walk slowly.”

After speaking, she drove outside without turning her head back.

After Li Chaoge left, the rest of the elders looked at each other, their eyes seemed to laugh and look lively. What do you say about this kind of thing, the two are both princesses, Li Changle received the best education in the court and grew up, and when he became an adult, he married Pei Ji’an, the son of Pei’s father and son, but Li Chaoge was just short of it, but in the end he fell in love with it. ? The cousin who lives with Pei’s house.

His birthplace is short, his education is poor, and his husband’s family is even worse. Even if Gu’s ancestors are pure and expensive, can the ancestor’s Qing name be used as a meal? Perhaps the environment determines fate, and a person’s birth from a young age really determines her vision?

Li Chaoge and Li Changle are both his younger sisters. Li Shan didn’t say much, but smiled and said, “It’s getting late, let’s set off.”

Everyone should be, the princes turned their horses together, and the guards of each household came forward to **** the little master into the forest. The front was mighty and crowded, but there was no one at the back of the team, and a few people followed sparsely, which was especially sluggish in comparison.

Li Chaoge frowned, waved away the dust raised by the person in front of him, and said to Gu Mingke: “Gu Gongzi, I don’t care about going to the end, but I really don’t like eating other people’s dust. Otherwise, we go faster?”

Gu Mingke is still dressed in white today, and the morning fog falls on him, clear and cold, hazy, as if to blend into the morning haze. Even the dust seemed to be embarrassed, afraid to fall on him. Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke walked at the end together, Li Chaoge’s face was covered with dirt, but Gu Mingke’s body was clean and spotless.

Gu Mingke remained unmoved and said, “If the princess is impatient, she can leave on her own. I am weak and sick. I can’t exercise vigorously, and I can’t accompany you.”

Li Chaoge looked at his face, thinking that he was embarrassed to be able to say the words “frail and sickly”. With a beauty on his side, Li Chaoge doesn’t care about eating dirt? She also held the reins loosely, and followed Gu Mingke’s side unhurriedly: “The son is weak and sick, so I should protect the son?” Don’t worry, son, I will definitely be with you today, and I will never leave for half a step.”

Gu Mingke still looked at the front intently, without turning his eyes to the side, and seemed to not care about Li Chaoge at all. But he sighed in his heart.

Now there is good news and bad news. The good news is that she finally stopped being obsessed with greedy wolves, and Gu Mingke’s mission has made great progress. The bad news is that she seems to have a crush on him?.

Beichen Tianzun was in charge of prison for thousands of years. He was used to being alienated, feared, and even cursed by others, but he was pursued for the first time.

Is it so dangerous to perform tasks in the world now?

Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke walked slowly, the people in front were far away, and the dust that was raised gradually disappeared. Don’t worry about Li Chaoge? Just eat a mouthful of dirt, she glanced at Gu Mingke lightly, smiled and said, “When things are up to this day, does Gu Gongzi insist on not knowing me?”

Gu Mingke said indifferently: “The princess feat yesterday, I will naturally get to know the princess.”

It’s harder not to know her. I am afraid that now, no one in Zigui Palace does not know the name of Anding Princess Li Chaoge?.

“What about before?”

“Yesterday was the first time we met. I don’t know where the princess is referring to? Before.”

“Then I’ll make it more clear.” Li Chaoge fixedly stared at Gu Mingke and whispered, “Jiannan Road, Ten Mile Dashan Black Forest, and Pingshan.”

The expression on Gu Mingke’s face didn’t fluctuate at all. He quietly looked back at Li Chaoge and said, “Since I was young and weak, I haven’t been to other places except Chang’an and Luoyang in these years. Princess, you have admitted the wrong person.”

Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke looked at each other for a moment, and neither of them took the lead to look away. Li Chaoge smiled lightly? He nodded and said, “Okay, you don’t admit it. I am the person who likes to force others. If you don’t admit it, I want you to admit it.”

What’s wrong. Gu Mingke retracted his gaze and said quietly to the front: “Princess, have you entered the forest? Please look at the road, please.”

Li Chaoge snorted, thinking that this person was so boring. Talking to him is more boring than talking to cold laws.

The two walked side by side in the jungle, surrounded by prey deliberately driven by guards, but neither of them had any intention of doing anything. Li Chaoge walked for a while, pointed to a strain of bacteria next to him, and said: “There is actually a tiger claw fungus here. If this fungus is eaten, it will cause hallucinations. Even a tiger can put it down in a stick of incense. If you collect some to use it. Hunting, won’t it be twice the result with half the effort?”

Gu Mingke gave a faint hum, as if following Li Chaoge. After a while, Li Chaoge saw another vine and said, “Iron money vine, this can also stun prey. If you come, you will pluck it off and distribute it to everyone.”

Upon hearing this, the attendant immediately went forward to pick the vines. Li Chaoge looked at Gu Mingke. Gu Mingke still sat on the horse steadily. Perceiving her sight, Gu Mingke smiled and said, “These plants all grow in Jiannan. The princess can’t understand their effects the best. The princess does it herself.” Just decide, what do I do?”

Li Chaoge’s face sank, he winked at the guard, and said coldly, “No need to pick it up.”

The guards stopped, they looked at the princess who was inexplicably angry, and then looked at Gu Jia Langjun who was calm and calm. They didn’t understand what happened to the princess?: “Princess, since it is helpful for hunting, why don’t you pick some and give it away? To the prince and king Zhao?”

Gu Mingke smiled faintly on his lips, pulled the reins, and continued to move forward. Seeing his performance, Li Chaoge knew in his heart that this man was very shrewd, and he would never succeed if he was tested by these.

Li Chaoge gave up quickly. She strangled and said to the guard casually: “You are lie to you, it is poisonous, don’t touch it.”

The guards were shocked, all of them frightened? Jumped. At this time, Li Chaoge had already caught up with Gu Mingke and asked: “You seem to be very concerned about Pei Ji’an. With your talents, you will never be in Pei’s house. What is your purpose?”

“The princess is absurd.” Gu Mingke said, “He is my cousin, and I pay attention to him for all reason.”

Li Chaoge raised his eyebrows, quite suspicious: “Are you really cousins? Pei Ji’an’s crooked melon and split date can grow out of your cousin?”

Gu Mingke was so solemn that he almost laughed when he heard this. He reluctantly glanced at Li Chaoge, his eyes slanted horizontally, and the broken light was clear: “Princess, be careful.”
