Chapter 256: With a beauty by your side, you will definitely win
King Yi was still somewhat indignant.
But I could only bow my hands in thanks.
For him, as long as his father would allow him to keep Lian'er in Prince Yi's Mansion and let him marry her, everything would be tolerable.
As for the matter of making Lian'er the principal wife, it can be done slowly and gradually.
The two returned to their seats, and Li Tianzhuo gradually mentioned the autumn hunt in a few days.
"Father, Big Brother, I haven't been home for a long time. I wonder if our autumn hunting is still as lively as usual?"
When this matter was mentioned, Emperor Nan Xin also had memories in his mind.
He shook his head regretfully.
"It's been six years. Ever since you left, no one in Nanxin has the ability to hunt tigers and bears."
Six years ago, Li Tianzhuo was the best martial artist not only in the royal family but also in the entire Nanxin.
Whenever there was a hunting expedition, he always had the biggest harvest.
Even generals like General Su and General Nangong were not half as good as him.
Recalling the past, Li Tianzhuo slowly closed his eyes and drank the wine in the glass bitterly.
He had been to the top of the martial arts world, but it was meaningless. Instead, it was lonely at the top, which led to his current situation where his martial arts skills were wasted.
Before, he just wanted to live a simple and ordinary life with Ningning.
But, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.
Nan Xin's mess is waiting for him to deal with.
The martial arts skills must be fully restored.
During this period, he also sent people to spread the news and look for a suitable person to pass on his skills to him.
But there is no one willing to teach the skills in Dongji, and there is no one in Nanxin either.
Who would be willing to give away the skills they have cultivated for decades to others?
Even if that person was a prince, he offered an extremely high price.
"Father, my martial arts skills have not yet fully recovered, but if you want the tiger skin and bear paws, I will go through fire and water to hunt them for you."
Li Tianzhuo bowed towards Emperor Nanxin to show his filial piety.
When Emperor Nan Xin heard his words, he instantly felt that his most beloved youngest son had truly returned.
"Father doesn't need anything, I just want you to be safe."
"If you want to go on this year's autumn hunt, go ahead."
"But remember, don't force yourself, the important thing is to participate."
Emperor Nan Xin instructed lovingly.
The way he spoke these words to Li Tianzhuo was no different from that of an ordinary father and son.
The face of King Yi opposite him became increasingly worse, and he felt increasingly frustrated.
The gentleness and kindness of Emperor Nanxin were something he, the King, and several other princes had never experienced in their lives.
It seemed as if these princes had to be born and kept for use.
He also knew clearly that his sixth brother was fortunately the last one born. If Li Tianzhuo was his father's first child, then the other princes would not even have the chance to be born.
Looking up at Emperor Nan Xin's fatherly smile towards Li Tianzhuo, King Yi felt a pain in his heart as if it were being stabbed by needles.
He had never begged his father to treat him like this, but at least he shouldn't be so obviously partial to him!
Deng Xuelian, who was standing by, sensed the pain in his heart and placed her hand on the back of his hand.
The warm palm made King Yi feel instantly healed.
At that moment, it seemed as if Deng Xuelian was his medicine.
It is the most precious thing to him in this world.
He also secretly swore in his heart that he must secure a position of principal wife for Lian'er.
"Boss, since your brother is interested in going on the autumn hunt, you, as the eldest brother, should take good care of him that day."
Emperor Nan Xin himself was in poor health, so naturally he could not go hunting anymore.
These hunting matters should be left to the young people.
"Yes, I understand. I will definitely protect you, my sixth brother."
Yi Wangchao bowed to Emperor Nanxin, and while speaking, his eyes were always scanning Li Tianzhuo, full of envy and jealousy towards him.
Li Tianzhuo ignored his gaze and just gave him a friendly smile.
"Father, you may not know that this beautiful lady, Miss Deng, was the eldest daughter of Deng Zheng, the Duke of Dongji, and she is a sister of Ningning."
"As daughters of the Duke of Zhenguo, Ningning's martial arts are well known to the world. I'm sure Miss Deng is a good daughter of a good father."
"Brother, why don't you take my new sister-in-law with you on the hunting day?"
King Yi was somewhat dissatisfied. He felt that Li Tianzhuo was humiliating Deng Xuelian on behalf of Deng Youning.
The king chose to know nothing about what happened to them in Dongji.
I just heard Deng Xuelian complain to me about Deng Youning, saying that Deng Youning, as the real daughter, took advantage of her power to bully others and made life very difficult for her, the fake daughter.
Therefore, King Yi subconsciously protected Deng Xuelian and helped her speak ill of Deng Youning.
"Lian'er is not like the Princess of the Nation. She is just an ordinary lady who has not been trained in a place like the Ten Thousand Snake Valley."
King Yi spoke unkindly, and his tone was full of disdain for Deng Youning.
Born in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, he is not a good person.
Li Tianzhuo could naturally hear it, but he forced himself not to curse back on the spot.
He clenched his fists and said, "Ningning did grow up in the Ten Thousand Snake Valley by accident, so she is very good at martial arts. But even if Miss Deng doesn't know any martial arts, as the daughter of a brave and warlike duke, she is definitely as good as any man."
"Autumn hunting is very interesting. Miss Deng doesn't need to hunt like us men. She can just stay in the tent and cheer for Big Brother."
"I believe that with a beauty by your side, Big Brother will definitely win the first prize in this year's hunting."
Since it is useless to persuade them kindly, the only option is to provoke them.
There was a hint of anger on Deng Xuelian's face.
Li Tianzhuo knew that the fish had taken the bait.
"Sixth brother, are you going too far?"
Yi Wang wanted to argue with Li Tianzhuo again, but Deng Xuelian stopped him.
"My Lord, since His Royal Highness Prince Changle values me so much, then Lian'er will go."
Deng Xuelian blinked her tearful eyelashes aggrievedly.
In fact, when Wang Yi heard her say that she was going, he was happy in his heart.
What Lao Liu said was right. If Lian'er went there and cheered him on, even if he couldn't win the first place, he would definitely be full of fighting spirit.
"That's right."
Li Tianzhuo smiled with satisfaction, raised his glass and invited them to drink with him.
Deng Xuelian also chuckled, drank a glass of wine happily, stood up, stared at Li Tianzhuo, and asked:
"I heard that my sixth brother also brought back a girl from Dongji. She is my sister whom I haven't seen for a long time."
"Why don't you take my sister along on the hunt, Sixth Brother, so that we two sisters can get together?"
She has plenty of strength and means.
Since Li Tianzhuo wants to plot against her, she can also work with King Yi to plot against Deng Youning!
Li Tianzhuo calculated the time.
During the autumn hunting days, Deng Youning had just completed a month of recuperation from his injuries.
The head of the Gongyang family said that no force could be used within a month, and this rule happened to expire during those days.
Thinking that Ningning had been bored in the mansion for a long time, Li Tianzhuo thought it would be a good idea to take her to the autumn hunt.
"That's natural."
"Father, can I take Ningning with me?"
Li Tianzhuo was afraid that Emperor Nan Xin would be unhappy, so he asked him this question in a polite manner.
"Princess Dongji is visiting my Nanxin. I haven't taken her out for a good tour yet. It would be nice to invite her and the Grand Scholar of the Imperial Academy from Dongji to come together."
Emperor Nan Xin even brought Deng Yan'an with him.
Li Tianzhuo frowned.
His father should have known that he and Ningning planned to deal with Deng Xuelian on that day. Even if he just wanted to use Ningning, he felt that his father should not have sent anyone to sabotage that day.
