54. National Master Dad 5
An Chiyan asked his attendant Li Zhong with a grim expression: "Who is that short and fat guy?" He knew all of An Chixu's cousins, and there was no younger generation in the Nian family with the name Ye.
Li Zhong, who had been trying to wink at his master, saw that his master finally noticed him. Li Zhong quickly saluted and said, "My master, that is, yes, the young master of the imperial master's family." After saying that, he lowered his head even lower.
What? An Chiyan's expression grew even more distorted. His father had favored An Chixu for a long time. A few days ago, he even sent An Chixu to Wanli Wuyun to be personally taught by the Imperial Preceptor, a fact that made his brothers and sisters secretly jealous. Just now, he suddenly saw An Chixu being stabbed by him again. Without giving it much thought, he lashed out at the short, stocky guy beside him. Who would have thought that the short, stocky guy was actually the Imperial Preceptor's son?
After presenting their gifts at the state banquet, the princes and princesses went off to play with the children of the imperial family, civil officials, and military officials at a separate venue. The younger generation also had their own social engagements, so of course they hadn't seen Cheng Ye, who had arrived late with the Imperial Preceptor. No wonder An Chixu was able to leave the palace; he must have been brought there by the Imperial Preceptor.
Thinking of her mother, Concubine Lan's instructions, An Chiyan frowned, flicked her sleeves and said, "Return to the palace."
No one knew how Xiao Taozi had filed the complaint, but Cheng Jiu went to the palace to see the emperor that night. When he came out, he was holding an imperial edict that allowed Cheng Ye to not bow to anyone.
The slap on the face was so loud that the third prince and his mother were embarrassed for a moment.
The next morning, Champs-Elysées Courtyard.
The two children lay on the table and looked at the bright yellow imperial edict on the table.
Cheng Ye: "Is this the imperial edict?" Cheng Ye, who saw the imperial edict for the first time, was full of curiosity.
An Chixu: "Yes, you see, it is stamped with a jade seal." He pointed to the location of the seal.
Little Taozi stood aside, holding the brocade box containing the imperial edict, and said, "This is the imperial edict that the Imperial Master requested from the Emperor. It graciously grants the young master that he does not need to perform formal greetings to anyone."
An Chixu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly turned the imperial edict over to look at it. It really was an order that required no formalities.
"The Imperial Master must have heard about yesterday's incident," An Chixu said gloatingly, "Third Brother must be looking very surprised right now."
Cheng Ye suddenly realized that this was the case.
After the two brothers had looked enough, Xiao Taozi put the imperial edict back into the brocade box.
After the servants brought breakfast up and set it aside, the two of them ate and talked.
An Chixu: "I will go back in a few days. I will go to the autumn hunt in seven days. I will come back after the autumn hunt." He is also the first
He once participated in a hunting trip, but as he was young, he just went to the small hunting ground to join in the fun.
Cheng Ye: "Autumn Hunt?" He paused while biting the crystal bag. Is this a royal hunt?
He had gone through the royal etiquette, royal activities, royal festivals... in recent days, so he naturally knew about the royal hunting.
An Chixu: "Don't you know? ...That's right, you're young, and the Imperial Master won't let you go."
"Why aren't you allowed to go?" Cheng Jiu came in from outside and heard An Chixu's words.
"Dad/National Master"
Cheng sat down next to Cheng Ye, and the servants immediately added bowls and chopsticks to his plate.
Cheng Ye asked, "Dad, didn't you go to Tianjian Pavilion today?" Tianjian Pavilion is a place that monitors the country's fortune. His father would go to Tianjian Pavilion every morning and stay there for more than an hour.
"Yeah," Cheng Jiu responded, "What were you talking about just now?"
Cheng Ye: "Dad, we were talking about the autumn hunt. Cousin Xu said he would go autumn hunting in a few days." After saying that, he looked at his father with shining eyes.
Cheng Jiu paused and said, "Want to go?"
Cheng Ye said loudly: "I want to go!"
Even if I don't participate in the hunt, I still want to join in the fun and see if it is as spectacular as the gentleman said.
***
On a late October morning, at the Qiuyang Mountain Imperial Hunting Ground, tents rose high across the vast expanse of the grounds. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers stood in neat rows at their posts, solemn and upright, awe-inspiring. Emperor An Zhenghong, clad in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat high on a platform before the tent. To his side stood the Imperial Preceptor Cheng Jiu, and below him sat a group of ministers.
An Zhenghong said loudly: "...I will give this black gold curled horn bow to the person who has the best hunting results in this hunting ground today." He pointed to the big bow on the high stand and promised.
The enthusiasm in the hunting ground was instantly ignited, with loud cheers everywhere. Those who were capable were determined to get this magic weapon, and those who were not wanted to join in the fun.
As soon as the hunting drum sounded, the hunting team rushed into the hunting ground on horseback. The scene of thousands of horses galloping was very spectacular.
After the main group left, An Chixu and Cheng Ye came over wearing small riding clothes and carrying small bows.
"Father/Emperor"
"National Master/Father"
After the ceremony, the two children stood straight, looking energetic.
An Zhenghong: "Not bad, he looks very energetic."
"You can only hunt in small hunting grounds. You cannot enter large hunting grounds. You must protect yourself well and don't show off your strength." Small hunting grounds are forests specially designed for hunting for children under the age of sixteen. They are not particularly large, and the prey are only small, so there is no danger.
"I understand, Father/Emperor."
"Cheng Ye come here"
Cheng Jiu waved at Cheng Ye.
Cheng Ye walked over confused, not knowing what his father wanted to say.
Cheng Jiu reached out and pulled out the string hanging from his neck, then pulled out a thumb-sized white bead from his clothes. The bead was placed in a net bag made of rope. Cheng Jiu took off the string and hung it around Cheng Ye's neck. No one except Cheng Jiu could see that the bead, which was emitting a faint white light, immediately dimmed after leaving Cheng Jiu's body.
Cheng Ye was puzzled: "Dad, what is this?"
Cheng Jiu didn't say what it was, but just hid the beads inside Cheng Ye's clothes and said, "You must always wear it and don't take it off."
Cheng Ye was completely confused, but still responded obediently: "Oh, I see."
Cheng Jiu: "Well, go ahead."
As soon as they left, An Zhenghong's face darkened and he asked in a deep voice, "Does the Imperial Master know what he is doing?"
Cheng Jiu said calmly, "Didn't the Emperor see what I did?"
An Zhenghong's face turned pale: "Master, your body will be severely damaged if your wish turns into a pearl."
Cheng Jiu: "Don't worry, you won't die." He can bear to be away for a while.
I am not at ease at all! An Zhenghong: "No, no, if something happens, no one can afford it!" So take it back quickly, the power of will is not on you, I am very anxious.
Cheng Jiu: "No need to worry." The power of vows is mine, I can put it on whoever I want.
An Zhenghong said earnestly: "If there are other unexpected dangers, how can I explain to the people of Anrong Kingdom?" The imperial master has not even had a successor, and he is already dead. Can I still be the emperor?
Cheng Jiu completely ignored An Zhenghong's anxious expression and continued, "The enclosure is heavily guarded both inside and outside, and the blockade is so tight. I'm just staying here, so what could possibly happen?"
An Zhenghong: Headache!!
Cheng Jiu sat in his seat, resting his head with one hand and closing his eyes. His aura suddenly weakened a lot. As soon as the willpower left his body, he immediately became weak and felt very uncomfortable.
An Zhenghong thought about it and still felt uneasy, so he called the Jingwei team to guard Cheng Jiu. He was not worried about the two children. There were no large prey in the small hunting grounds, so there would be no danger. In addition, the wishing pearl was with Cheng Ye, so they would be safe. But some things cannot be taken for granted.
***
Cheng Ye and An Chixu sat in the arms of their guards and rode their horses to the forest of the hunting ground. After getting off the horses, the two began to wander around in the forest, hoping to encounter a lone prey so that they could
The guards followed from a distance, protecting the hunters without disturbing them while they were hunting.
The trees in the forest are lush and green, there are many exotic flowers and plants, and the birds in the sky chirp from time to time.
An Chixu held his breath and stared closely at the gray rabbit not far away. His hands moved more and more lightly. He drew the bow, aimed, and "whoosh".
The gray rabbit cleverly dodged the sharp arrow and disappeared into the grass.
An Chixu: "Ah, missed again!" This was the third time he hadn't hit a single one! The rabbits here were completely different from the ones raised in the palace. They were much more clever and alert.
Cheng Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief, exhausted from holding his breath. He comforted the dejected An Chixu and said, "It's okay, we'll look for it again."
Cheng Ye had only taken a few horseback archery classes, and he came here just to participate. Now he couldn't even hit the target, let alone catch prey.
This is the only way. An Chixu put away his bow and arrow and said, "Let's go over there." He pointed to the other side of the forest.
After taking a few steps, I heard the guards in the distance shouting, "Master, run!!"
The two children didn't know what was happening. They looked back and saw several guards running towards them and shouting at them in fear to get out of the way.
The two men felt a chill on their backs and rolled back with all their might.
Cheng Ye, who was rolling on the ground, had no time to get up before a large shadow covered his head. When he looked up, he saw a huge tiger head pouncing towards him, its bloody mouth emitting a strong stench.
For a moment, his mind went blank.
This bite would surely cut off the child's head, and the guards were terrified and desperate.
At this critical moment, the beads on Cheng Ye's neck turned into a white light and instantly tied up the tiger in mid-air.
"Bang" the immobile tiger fell down and hit Cheng Ye's left leg.
"Crack" I don't know if it was a fracture or a dislocation, "Ah!" Cheng Ye screamed in pain and fainted.
At this time, the guards reacted immediately and stepped forward to hug Cheng Ye and An Chixu, looking at the tiger lying on the ground with horror and vigilance.
Cheng Jiu, who was far away in front of the big tent, spat out a mouthful of blood.
An Zhenghong almost broke his voice in fear: "National Master!"
Cheng Jiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said hoarsely, "It's okay. The power of willpower has been activated outside the body, so it will inevitably be affected."
Is this some? I'm vomiting blood! An Zhenghong is going crazy.
"Jingwei Team, hurry up and bring back Cheng Ye and the Fifth Prince!" How could something happen in a small hunting ground!
"Imperial Physician!" The Imperial Physician crawled over to Cheng Jiu's side.
Diagnose him.
Before the Jingwei team arrived at the hunting ground, the guards protecting Cheng Ye and the others had already returned with the two young masters and the culprit tiger.
The guard put Cheng Ye on the bed in the tent.
Looking at his unconscious son, Cheng Jiu's pale face became even worse.
The imperial physician quickly checked Cheng Ye's injuries, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty, Young Master Cheng Ye's foot was dislocated by being hit by a heavy object. He just needs to be reattached and then properly recuperated." Fortunately, the injury was not serious, probably because the heavy object did not fall from too high a place.
Seeing his son still crying out in pain while the imperial physician was setting his bones, Cheng Jiu's usually cold expression turned cold.
He walked out of the tent, approached the big tiger, and asked coldly, "What's going on?"
The guards who had been kneeling on the ground trembled and said, "For some reason, such a ferocious beast appeared in the hunting grounds... It suddenly pounced on the young master... Please punish me, Imperial Master!"
Why would there be a ferocious beast in the small hunting ground? Haha.
Cheng Jiu stretched out his hand to retract his wish power, and the wish power turned into a whip, and he lashed it back with his backhand. No matter why it appeared, it must be punished for hurting my son.
"Roar!" The pain that penetrated deep into the tiger's bones made it tremble with pain. It couldn't even stand up, let alone escape.
After the power of will returned to his body, Cheng Jiu's complexion gradually improved.
"Tie it up."
"yes!"
The guards shuddered as they watched the limp, still wailing and twitching tiger. He had no choice but to eat the Imperial Master's son, what a fool!
