Chapter 113



Why did the Sixth Prince want to take Dabao's blood?

Ancient times were different from modern times. What use could blood have? In court documents, there was a blood test for paternity. As a modern person, Li Yu had long known that blood tests were not accurate. What could the Sixth Prince do with just "Dabao's" blood?

King Jing tapped his forehead gently and told Li Yu a royal secret.

The imperial physician in the palace had his own secret method to use a few drops of blood to prove whether someone was of the royal family. As early as the Sixth Prince's people proposed to take Dabao's blood, King Jing knew that the Sixth Prince suspected that Dabao was not his biological child. King Jing deliberately let him take someone else's blood so that the Sixth Prince would think that his inference was correct.

Next, the Sixth Prince would definitely make a plan to let the emperor know about this matter. The crime of confusing the royal bloodline was enough to make any emperor turn against him.

But in the same way, the crime of slandering the prince can also make the Sixth Prince unable to escape forever.

Li Yu and King Jing were waiting for the Sixth Prince to make a move, but who knew that the Sixth Prince would shrink again. He

is indeed the most lurking boss. Although he has suffered a lot of losses and made a lot of mistakes at the hands of King Jing, he can still keep his composure when he calms down and will never move until the best time.

I wish he can be patient and become a big turtle!

Two months later, the annual hunting festival is coming.

The hunting festival, as the name suggests, is actually a large-scale hunting event held by the royal family in this ancient world.

There is a joke that the founding monarch is good at fighting, and the monarch who maintains the status quo is good at hunting, which shows the importance of hunting in the emperor's career.

As a relatively clear-headed monarch, the emperor was also fond of holding various hunting sports to show off his fighting power, and the hunting festival was born.

This was a hunting feast, and there was only one rule: regardless of status, only military performance mattered. The emperor would usually lead a large group of royal children to compete fiercely with civil and military ministers for prey. Those who ranked first would be rewarded by the emperor, and those who performed outstandingly would be promoted even if they were of humble origins.

The hunting festival was almost a shortcut to success. Everyone knew that if they performed well, they would be in the emperor's eyes. Even children of seven or eight years old would muster up the courage to carry bows and arrows and rush to the enclosure with the main force during these days.

However, there were also some outliers who did not want to participate in the activities that everyone enjoyed.

Prince Jing seldom hunts. In previous years, during the hunting festival, Prince Jing would stay in his house and not come out. Usually, Ye Qinghuan would go on behalf of Prince Jing and just go through the motions.

In fact, Prince Jing's behavior is not difficult to understand. After all, it is useless for a disabled prince to be outstanding. If Prince Jing does not go, others will not think it is rude, but it is natural, and the emperor will not say much.

Although there is no distinction between high and low in the hunting festival, the first place every year is still the emperor.

The second place, in the past, was mostly the second prince, and occasionally the third prince. There was no big suspense either. The latter place is what people can fight for.

But this year, the situation has changed a lot.

The second prince had gone mad, the third prince had been abandoned, and the sixth prince had become a dark horse and had broken through the siege. The overall situation seemed to be decided, but the unpopular King Jing, who should have been excluded from the candidate for the successor, went to the western frontier and came back, and things had changed again.

As the only prince in this dynasty who had both political achievements and military exploits, and who also had a noble legitimate status and four lively and healthy little princes, being born dumb was nothing, especially the prince Jing, who was favored by the emperor. Every time he entered the palace, he sat directly on the emperor's lap. All kinds of signs showed that King Jing had emerged as a new force.

Although there was a saying in this dynasty that princes were not easily crowned kings, the real and fake disfavors were obvious enough by comparing the current Pinghou and Anhou families.

King Jing's throne is probably special, and he is the emperor's favorite.

Smart people will quietly pay attention to the ranking of this hunting festival. I am afraid that once the ranking is determined, the position of the crown prince will be almost there.

Even the emperor is looking forward to it. However, King Jing, who rarely participates in hunting, still expressed that he does not want to participate this time, and plans to stay in the palace to accompany his wife and children. The emperor

really can't stand it. When the war report from the western frontier reached the imperial city, the emperor also read it. In fact, King Jing can lead troops and even beat bandits. What's wrong with hunting?

The emperor had a dark face and ordered Luo Zongguan to pass on the order that no matter what reason King Jing gave, he must participate in hunting and cannot shirk it.

King Jing had no choice but to set off to the hunting ground with Li Yu.

Leaving the children in the mansion was a risk for accidents, so the two discussed and decided to take them all away. When they got to the hunting grounds, there would be guards to take care of them, and King Jing would also have enough people to take care of the children. Besides, the children could not walk very well yet, so they would not run around in the paddock.

The children's destination was decided, and all that was left was some preparation. Hunting requires special clothing, and King Jing made a whole set of white riding suits with gold trim for Li Yu in advance. It was a formal short coat with narrow sleeves, and he looked heroic. Li Yu felt so handsome when he put it on, and he drooled as he strongly asked King Jing to put on the same one.

The king and the queen must wear couple outfits for such occasions.

Under Li Yu's instigation, King Jing made it not only for himself, but also for the four treasures.

At the Riding Festival, King Jing wore the same black riding suit as Li Yu, with a jade belt around his waist and a purple gold crown on his head. He was handsome and tall, and he and Li Yu were a perfect match.

The adults' high-end riding suits, when shrunk down and worn by the four treasures, were round and cute.

Dabao wore a small golden riding suit and small leather boots. His round body made the clothes bulge, and every step he took shook violently, which frightened Li Yu.

He could already walk unsteadily and speak a few words a few times. Although it was slow, it was very clear. The imperial physician and the wet nurse said that boys speak later, and the little prince is already very good.

Erbao and Sanbao were wearing gold and silver mixed color and silver riding suits respectively. They couldn't walk yet and couldn't speak as well as Dabao. Dabao held on to the wall and started to move. Erbao and Sanbao fell to the ground like two shining balls, clinging to Dabao's boots tightly and insisting that Dabao take them with him.

Dabao didn't even despise them. His little face showed a solemnity that didn't match his age. He raised his short legs as usual and tried to move forward, but he couldn't move.

Li Yu and King Jing both laughed. Sibao, wearing a handsome black riding suit with silver edges, sat in Yu's father's arms and giggled non-stop. As a result, his joy turned into sorrow. Li Yu winked at him and put Sibao down.

Sibao is always a beat slow to react. He is the least energetic when changing into human form and walking as well. Compared to Dabao who is serious, Sibao is very perfunctory. He sits down as soon as his feet touch the ground, and stretches out his hands, wanting Yudie to carry him back.

Li Yu has already opened his hands, so it is impossible for him to carry him back.

Sibao blinks his eyes that are similar to Li Yu’s, and imitates Erbao and Sanbao to grab Dabao’s legs.

Dabao, who suddenly has a younger brother pendant: “…”

Li Yu laughed loudly. Wang Xi had already led the horse over. King Jing first carried several children to the carriage and Wang Xi was responsible for taking care of them. After all the children were on the carriage, King Jing was in a good mood and pulled the princess to the horse, holding her arms, and the horse followed the carriage slowly.

Li Yu kept mumbling that it was childish to sit in the front, but when the horse ran, he was the one who shouted the loudest.

When they arrived at the paddock, King Jing and his family went to the dragon tent to pay homage to the emperor. The emperor was still very satisfied with King Jing's knowledge and whispered a few words to King Jing. It was

the first time for Li Yu to participate in such a large-scale collective activity. In order to avoid making mistakes, he stood behind King Jing in a proper manner. The emperor also encouraged him.

At this time, the emperor was still very wise and powerful.

When the emperor saw the children in fancy little riding suits beside Li Yu's legs, his attitude suddenly changed and he couldn't help laughing.

"Is Dabao going hunting today too?"

The emperor turned into a kind grandfather, stretched out his long arms, and took Dabao into his arms with a smile.

"Grandpa, we're going hunting!" Dabao said crisply.

After Dabao could speak, Li Yu tried to teach him the formal title of "Grandpa", but the pronunciation of "grandfather" was still a little difficult for the child. The emperor used this as an excuse to allow Dabao to continue calling him "grandfather", and the emperor himself felt close to him. Dabao was so

motivated at such a young age, and the emperor was very happy that he even thought of teaching Dabao archery himself.

But such a young child would not have the strength to draw a bow.

The emperor ordered Luo Ruisheng to find a slingshot and abruptly changed the archery to slingshot.

Dabao fiddled with the bowstring with his plump paws, not knowing what to do.

The emperor stroked his beard and was about to take the lead in playing, but he remembered that his son, King Jing, was still waiting.

King Jing could not act without the emperor's permission.

"Go, and don't come back to see me if you don't get a rank." The emperor gave the order with expectation.

King Jing nodded and looked at Li Yu.

The emperor's decree came suddenly, ordering them to participate in hunting. Li Yu didn't know how to ride a horse, so King Jing taught Li Yu for a while, but Li Yu still didn't know how to ride a horse. It was almost impossible for him to achieve anything in the hunting ground this time.

And the children also came with them, so one person had to be left to look after them. They couldn't both go hunting.

It is said that the Sixth Prince had been here before them, and he has been on the field for half an hour, and has hunted a lot of prey, ranking among the top.

"Tianchi, just go with peace of mind, show him some color!"

Li Yu escorted King Jing out of the tent with a heroic spirit, cheering for the old attacker.

King Jing nodded, and regardless of whether there was anyone around, he pulled Li Yu into his arms and rubbed his head.

Li Yu took the opportunity to flirt with him for a while, then returned to the tent proudly, sitting in the chair below the emperor, and from time to time listened to the guards reporting that the Sixth Prince had hunted prey again, and then it was King Jing.

At first, the Sixth Prince was ahead by a large margin, but later King Jing caught up and shortened the distance.

The first prey King Jing hunted was a white rabbit, which was still alive, with only a little skin scratched on its leg by an arrow.

The emperor's mouth twitched as he watched, and he asked Li Yu to deal with it. However, several treasures clapped their hands.

"Rabbit!" The second and third treasures said with a smile.

"Rabbit paper!" The fourth treasure raised his hands.

The fourth treasure was always a beat slower, and this was a rare time when he could pronounce a certain word clearly.

Several treasures surrounded the snow-white ball, and they were very happy. Li Yu seemed to see the grand scene when the duck entered the palace.

King Jing must have done it on purpose. What could he do to bring back such a little cutie?

Li Yu happily asked the eunuch to bandage the rabbit's legs. It seemed that from now on, in addition to the fish pets and duck pets, the palace would have another rabbit pet.

The hunting results would not be able to come out for a while, and the emperor was too lazy to listen to the announcement. He concentrated on teaching the eldest treasure to play with the slingshot for a while.

A slingshot needs a bullet. It is meaningless to just pull the bow in the air. However, ordinary bullets are either made of iron or stone. They are too lethal and children cannot play with them.

The emperor often heard King Jing praise Li Yu, so he asked Li Yu to think of a solution.

Li Yu was still very quick-witted. He tore rice paper into pieces, kneaded a lot of paper and shot it out. It didn't hurt when it hit the body.

With the bullet, the emperor held Dabao's little tender paw, and the two pulled the bow together and then let go.

A paper bullet flew out and hit Luo, the chief steward, who was asking for news.

Luo Ruisheng turned around:?

The emperor and Dabao looked innocent at the same time: Don't look at me, it wasn't me!

Li Yu couldn't help but laugh. There was nothing wrong with the emperor. He was more concerned about King Jing's side.

The guards reported several times that the Sixth Prince was always ahead, and Prince Jing was about to catch up, but was left behind again.

Li Yu could not show too much worry in front of the emperor, and he was sweating for Prince Jing in his heart. Unconsciously, he walked to the front of the tent and looked for Prince Jing among the people participating in the hunt.

Not long after, he found him.

Prince Jing was riding on the horse, and seemed very tired. He lowered his head and wiped the sweat from his head. The horse's back was full of prey.

Li Yu felt sorry for him, because the emperor said that he had to prove himself at all costs.

He watched him from a distance, and suddenly, as if Prince Jing had a telepathic connection, his eyes also cast towards him.

Prince Jing curled his lips and smiled, rode on the horse, galloped towards Li Yu, and was in front of him in an instant.

Li Yu was then pulled onto the horse by King Jing. King Jing held the reins with one hand and hugged him tightly with the other, blocking his lips irresistibly.

The hot and familiar breath instantly surrounded Li Yu. Li Yu was startled. He reacted and pushed him gently, but failed to push him away, so he simply kissed him passionately.

After the kiss, King Jing rubbed his neck contentedly. After sending him to the ground safely, he was like a god of war, and he whipped the whip again with full energy and rushed into the competition circle.

Really, did he treat him as a power bank!

Li Yu himself was also refreshed, and he sat back stealthily with a red face. The emperor was playing slingshot with Dabao, and Wang Xi was watching Erbao, Sanbao, and Sibao playing with rabbits. No one should pay attention to him. He had only sat down for a while when he heard the guards come to report that the total number of King Jing's prey had surpassed that of the Sixth Prince!
