Chapter 1178: Xuanyuan Jin feels like a gigolo
Princess Linghua ran over to find Xia Siya and happened to hear what Xia Siya said.
"That despicable guy is worthy? He's just a toad wanting to eat swan flesh!" Princess Linghua curled her lips and said, "Only Su Zhuangyuan is worthy of the princess!"
Prince Mingxuan: "..."
When Princess Linghua finished speaking, she actually felt a sense of pride!
Xia Siya naturally likes to hear such words.
"If you ask me, the marriage between Fifth Brother and Her Royal Highness the Princess can be written into a storybook." Xia Siya said excitedly.
Princess Linghua's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly.
"That's right! Let's go find Su Tang tomorrow. Su Tang must know a lot anyway. Why don't we write a play ourselves and have it staged? When your fifth brother and the princess get married, we can use this play as a gift..."
The more Princess Linghua spoke, the better she felt her idea was, and she couldn't wait to talk to Tangbao about it.
However, Tang Bao was with the Empress Dowager, so it was not convenient for her to go over there now.
After hearing what Princess Linghua said, Xia Siya agreed repeatedly.
So the two of them chattered away, becoming more and more excited.
Prince Mingxuan heard it all from a distance and felt as if his heart was stabbed several times, feeling both painful and angry.
You little bitch! Just wait!
Prince Mingxuan glared at Princess Linghua and Xia Siya fiercely, and ordered his followers to carry him away.
"Let's go quickly, are they all dead?!" Prince Mingxuan said angrily.
Two followers immediately carried him away quickly.
When Mrs. Xia heard what Xia Siya and Princess Linghua said, she couldn't help but rub her forehead.
She felt that ever since Tang Bao came to Beijing, the ladylike temperament that her daughter had cultivated with great difficulty was gone.
With my daughter's temperament, will she be able to adapt to the Bai family if she marries?
When Mrs. Xia thought of this, she couldn't help but look towards the Bai family.
The eldest lady of the Bai family was not there, only the second lady of the Bai family had a smile on her face.
Madam Xia frowned.
The emperor's hunting trip was such a big event, but his future son-in-law did not come.
Even if you fail the imperial examination in spring, you can still take the path of imperial favor.
Why do you seem so depressed and don't even show up for such occasions?
Could it be that the blow he suffered was too great...
Mrs. Xia sighed, feeling uneasy.
My son-in-law did not go on the spring outing that day.
Originally, on those days, the son-in-law should have accompanied his daughter on a spring outing.
Young men and women can temporarily put aside the strict rules between men and women during a few festivals in a year.
As a result, the son-in-law did not go.
This time, he didn't come again.
This would easily lead outsiders to think that the son-in-law was dissatisfied with the marriage and was therefore embarrassing his daughter.
Mrs. Xia's eyes darkened when she thought of some gossip she had heard vaguely.
"Your Majesty, all the prey has been counted." Someone stepped forward to report to Emperor Tianxi.
Emperor Tianxi nodded slightly and indicated that it should be read out in public.
The statistician took the booklet in his hand and began to read.
Unsurprisingly, the first thing announced was the prey brought back by Emperor Tianxi and Xuanyuan Jin.
"A brown bear!"
"Adult wild boars—fifty-eight!"
"Adult wild wolves—ninety-six!"
"Seventy-six roe deer!"
"Thirty-two wild goats!"
…
When the statistics officer reported the number, all the civil and military officials and their families present shuddered.
The festive atmosphere just now was replaced by tension.
After all, the emperor was lucky enough to come back alive after encountering so many wild beasts.
However, how did the Emperor and the Third Prince lead people to kill these beasts?
Could it be that these beasts were just standing there waiting to die? Waiting to be chopped down?
Otherwise, how could these wild beasts, which outnumber humans, have all been killed?
The more people present thought about it, the more unbelievable it became.
Mystery! Very mysterious!
Prince Xiao of Northern Qi stepped forward, laughed heartily, and said to Emperor Tianxi, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! The title of champion of this hunt must go to you alone. I was so arrogant when I boasted before."
Emperor Tianxi glanced at Prince Xiao and waved his hand casually, saying, "Prince Xiao, you are wrong. I was just stretching my legs and hunting a few wild animals. The rest is all thanks to the Third Prince and his guards."
As soon as Emperor Tianxi finished speaking, everyone present understood what the emperor meant.
Most of these prey would be registered under the name of the Third Prince.
In this way, the leader is the third prince, and the Zhentian Bow should also belong to the third prince.
Not only that, the results of the Third Prince's hunting this time are probably unprecedented and unparalleled.
There is absolutely no one in all dynasties who can compare to the Third Prince.
The Third Prince's hunting trip this time will surely be recorded in history.
When everyone thought of this, they looked at Xuanyuan Jin with eager eyes.
Tang Bao blinked at Xuanyuan Jin.
It means: Congratulations, brother.
Xuanyuan Jin glanced at Tang Bao, a smile flashing across his eyes.
He naturally knew that his first place was all thanks to Tang Bao.
Xuanyuan Jin suddenly felt like a gigolo.
“Ahem!”
Xuanyuan Jin put his fist to his lips, coughed twice, and suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.
After hearing what Emperor Tianxi said, Prince Xiao also looked towards Xuanyuan Jin.
"...Hahahaha, heroes have always emerged from youth. The Third Prince is a master of martial arts and unparalleled bravery. I admire him."
Prince Xiao said this and clasped his fists towards Xuanyuan Jin.
Although, Xuanyuan Jin repeatedly stood against him and opposed Tang Bao's marriage.
However, Prince Xiao seemed to have no grudges at all.
At the same time, it seemed as if he had forgotten the unpleasantness that had just occurred.
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Jin raised the corners of his lips, but his eyes were extremely cold. He said, "Prince Xiao is absolutely right. This prince is still young, but he is not as old as Prince Xiao. He can already be a grandfather. Thank you for your kindness."
Prince Xiao: "..."
I feel like I was stabbed!
That’s not all. After Xuanyuan Jin stabbed once, he stabbed again.
"As for whether Prince Xiao is a laughing stock, the public will gossip about him. Even though my father is the emperor, he cannot silence everyone in the world. I hope Prince Xiao will understand."
Prince Xiao: "..."
My face hurts and my heart hurts too.
"Puff!"
Someone laughed.
Who is it, Tangbao!
Tang Bao looked at Prince Xiao with a smile, openly gloating over his misfortune.
Prince Xiao looked at Tang Bao, feeling a tightness in his chest and feeling uncomfortable.
"If I can make the little princess smile, I will be happy even if it means being laughed at." Prince Xiao said.
Tang Bao rolled her eyes and retorted, "Uncle Xiao, you are so greasy."
Prince Xiao: "..."
He was stabbed again.
Not only was there a blockage in his chest, but he also choked on a mouthful of blood.
"The young princess is very eloquent, and I admire her." Prince Xiao said through gritted teeth.
It can be said that Xuanyuan Jin and Tang Bao's serial knives pierced Prince Xiao's heart into pieces.
