The emperor went out to hunt in the city. Many courtiers, relatives and family children followed the bright yellow carriage and slowly left the city. Both sides of the street were crowded with people. The imperial driver knelt down and shouted three times in unison. The scene was quite lively.
Tao Rui rode on a horse in a strong outfit, and went hand in hand with Qi Lang among a group of aristocratic children. He rode for a while and said thank you, "This horse is good, thanks Mingxian."
Qi Lang smiled and said, "You're welcome, didn't you give me a lot of money?"
"Good horses have a price and no market, and you can't ask for it. The three horses in your house are good for you. Now give me one, and your heartache is bleeding? Don't worry, I will take good care of Chengfeng, you Want to see it anytime." Tao Rui touched Chengfeng's mane. This white horse has a pure blood. Although he has not experienced wind and frost, he has not become a well-known BMW, but he has the potential to become a BMW.
After Tao Rui led the horse back home, he began to feed it with spring water. It is certain that in the near future, there will be earth-shaking changes in Chengfeng.
Of course Qi Lang could see that Tao Rui was very good to Chengfeng. He looked at Chengfeng a few times, and looked away from his heartache, and said, "I must go often. You forgot. You promised to play chess with me more. I gave Chengfeng to you. Don't break your promise."
"Don't break your promise, wait for you anytime."
Tao Rui and Qi Lang were talking gossip, and there was a country government mansion Huang Shizi riding over on horseback. He had always been at odds with the original owner. Now he met Tao Rui and said sarcastically, "Isn't this Xuan Guo Gong Shizi? Oh, I almost forgot. Now, Lord Xuan Guo has become Xuan Jinhou, your eldest son is still a fake. Haha."
Tao Rui rode his horse freely, and didn't even give him any extra light. He had the right to assume he didn't exist.
Huang Shizi got a cold face, glanced at Tao Rui and said, "Talking to the little master, are you still confused about your situation? I am afraid that after today, you will not be Tao Shizi, but Tao Xiucai."
Someone reminded him in a low voice, "Huang Shizi, the emperor called him to see him by name. I must have heard about him."
Huang Shizi disdainfully said: "We know him not for a day or two. If he has the real ability, we will not know? What kind of two birds with one arrow? It's just a blind cat and a dead mouse." He sneered, "Tao" Rui Tao Rui, you said you have offended so many people, what can you do in the future?"
Qi Lang couldn't listen anymore, "Who do you think you are? There are quite a few friends who have the ability to hunt, and stop talking nonsense."
Tao Rui would definitely not let his friends help him, and then said: "Huang Shizi, I think you are blue now and weak in your back, like excessive indulgence. This hunting, the emperor depends on the performance of the princes, you should not worry about it. I, it's better to worry about yourself. If you lose someone to your family, I'm afraid you won't have good fruit."
The princes nearby all laughed muffledly. Who didn't know that Huang Shizi was not favored at home? He went hunting like this, so it would be nice if he didn't fall off his horse, and he would definitely be ashamed.
There were guards around, and Huang Shizi couldn't do anything. He could only snorted coldly at Tao Rui, "I see when you can be crazy!"
Tao Rui ignored him. There are such incompetent villains everywhere, and it would be a waste of time to care about him. Among the children of many families, he can keenly perceive the sights they are looking at, as well as the kind and malicious people watching the lively.
After all, for people at their level, watching a deceased suddenly become a commoner, the first reaction is to watch the excitement. Some, like Huang Shizi, hated the original owner's dude behavior, and also hated Tao Rui's five-game winning streak, and felt that Tao Rui shouldn't be in their ranks.
It's just that they are not as brainless as Huang Shizi, and they just come to find the fault.
When these people saw Tao Rui today, they were all jokes. Comparing heart to heart, if they encounter Tao Rui's situation, they will definitely be uncomfortable in so many families, and their personality will become gloomy and sensitive.
They did not expect that Tao Rui had a calm expression on the way until they entered the paddock. There was no feeling of being inferior to them, and even faintly beyond their meaning. No matter who looked here, Tao Rui would definitely be the first to see it. .
Although Tao Rui is indeed the first son of the Houfu, and his status is indeed higher than most of them, is this attitude too unconscious? Many people who read the jokes feel a little depressed.
They felt right. In the carriage ahead, the third princess and the fourth princess were sitting. The four princesses were lively and could not sit still. When they heard the sound of riding a horse outside the city, they quietly raised a curtain and looked back. Among so many princes, they saw Tao Rui at a glance.
"San Jie, do you think that is Tao Shizi?"
"Where?" The three princesses put down the fruit in their hands after hearing the words, and leaned on the window and looked back.
"It's him, he is here too! I heard that he shoots arrows very well. I have never seen an arrow that can shoot two birds. I don't know if I will be lucky enough to see it today."
The fourth princess said of course: "You just want to let him shoot. Why is it difficult?"
The third princess shook her head, "He is a prince and not an actor, how can you ask him to perform at will?"
"Isn't he wrong? Why did the father derogate Xuan Guogong, but forgot to seize his position as the son?" The fourth princess frowned, a little puzzled, "Sister Third Emperor, what will happen to him in the future? I just need to think about suddenly becoming a civilian on a certain day, and I can't wait to die right away."
"Come on! What's not dead? Don't let outsiders hear it, taboo." The third princess reprimanded, lowered the curtain and sighed, "I can't guess what Tao Shizi will be like in the future. I just feel that I will never see him at a party in the future. It's a pity that he looks so talented. If he doesn't get the wrong one, Xuanguo Gongfu might be better in his hands."
The fourth princess wondered, "How good could it be better? The Duke is already a first-class, can he still make it to the next level?"
Of course, in addition to the title of the person, a powerful person can also be a prime minister, a general, a king of a different surname, and so on. Sometimes they can hold several positions and hold great power.
She felt that Tao Rui had that kind of ability inexplicably, but after thinking about it, she shook her head and didn't say anything. Because she remembered that Tao Rui's poem and the piece she played were all yearning for leisure and happiness.
Maybe Tao Rui would not enter the court as an official when he stayed at the Xuanguo Palace, otherwise he wouldn't have to be a daddy before.
The fourth princess looked at her thinking and pushed her with a smile, "Sanhuang Sister, are you not worried about Tao Shizi? Could it be that you are in love with him? The father suddenly asked the children of the family to compete, maybe it is for you Choosing a consort, Sister Sanhuang, if you are interested in him, you have to talk to the emperor as soon as possible!"
"Hush!" The three princesses stopped her, and said grotesquely, "What are you talking about?! You are unabashed, beware that I ask the concubine to punish you!"
The fourth princess covered her mouth and smiled on her body, "I'm not afraid, my mother and concubine also want to choose a good horse for you, eh-"
The third princess was tickling the fourth princess' waist, and the fourth princess hurriedly begged for mercy: "Hey, good sister, good sister, I dare not, let me go!"
The third princess squeezed her cheek and snorted, "Bad girl, tell you to talk nonsense."
The three princesses cut the haircut, and couldn't help but lift up a little curtain to look back. The princes behind slowed down. Tao Rui rode his horse to the side and said something to Qi Lang, looking relaxed, as if he hadn't been affected by the turmoil of his life experience at all.
She didn't think she liked Tao Rui, but she was more interested in Tao Rui than before. She was very curious, how could Tao Rui not be affected? Didn't Tao Rui still shut himself at home two days ago? Isn't that just because Xuan Jinhou was downgraded?
Perhaps Tao Rui is the kind of person who won't be seen no matter what he thinks in his heart? The emperor father was that kind of person. At this moment, the three princesses didn't know why, they thought Tao Rui and the emperor would go together.
She quickly put down the curtain and sat down, taking a book to look. It's just that her thoughts haven't been recovered yet, and she is thinking unconsciously, will the hunt for Tao Rui win the first place today? Or will it be as fun as before?
She thought of her proposal to win the lottery at the last party, Tao Rui agreed to the competition. So if the reward is higher today, will you be able to see Tao Rui's martial arts?
The third princess thought so, and directly proposed to the emperor in this way.
The chariots and horses entered the paddock and settled in the evening. Naturally, they would not hunt right away. They asked everyone to rest for a night, light a bonfire and have fun, and then start hunting with full energy the next day.
The three princesses went to the emperor and suggested not only hunting, but also an arena competition. It is best to give the winner a good reward and mobilize everyone's enthusiasm to the greatest extent.
How could the emperor fail to see through her careful thinking, and smiled: "Yuxin, do you want to see Tao Rui go all out to win the reward?"
The third princess stuck her tongue out, "I can't hide anything from my father. I have always heard that he is very powerful, but I haven't seen him before. And father, don't you want to know whether his skills are real or fake? After all, he was out before. The famous straw bag."
The emperor looked at her and raised his eyebrows: "Are you too concerned about Tao Rui?"
"Where? It's not because the palace is boring, and finally there is a funny person... Oh, father, you promise me." The third princess stepped forward and shook the emperor's sleeve.
The emperor reluctantly said: "You, you will be recruited soon, don't be so serious about playing. Okay, I will set up an arena competition according to your words, and you can give it a prize."
"Thank you, Father!" The third princess responded happily, pacing beside her thinking hard. After a while, his eyes lit up, "Father, how about giving a treat to the guard next to you? Plus all kinds of furs, prey, gold and silver jewelry."
Those in the back can understand, what's the matter with the guards?
For other families, people would suspect that the emperor looked down on them and put an eyeliner. But for Tao Rui, it obviously became a talisman!
The guards around the emperor and court officials would give three points of face when they saw it. If they were to follow Tao Rui from now on, even if Tao Rui became a beggar, those family members would not dare to bully him.
The third princess Bingxue was smart and thought of such a talisman for Tao Rui. The most important thing is that the emperor nodded and agreed after considering it!
Because from the emperor's point of view, a person like Tao Rui who is as wise and close as a demon should be destroyed if he cannot be used by me. Even if he is broad-minded and cannot do anything to destroy the talent, he must at least make sure that the opponent is not rebellious. It's the most appropriate idea to insert a person.
As for whether Tao Rui was willing to accept it, the emperor was sure that Tao Rui would be willing, as long as he was really smart, he would never give up this olive branch.
