The blunt words made the originally restless hunting ground quiet down instantly.
Many of the officials' daughters who originally regarded the spring hunt as a spring outing blushed, but many of them also looked eager to try.
Among them were the daughters of civil officials and also the daughters of military officials.
In the past, during the spring hunts, the women only accompanied the guests and watched. They had long been fed up with reciting poems and composing couplets on the hunting grounds. They had no choice but to do what they wanted in different occasions. But things are different today.
Who doesn’t want to be a county lady?
The men on the hunting ground would fight to the death for the top spot.
The eldest princess fought for them, the women, so why shouldn’t they fight for it?
This is the position of county lord!
At this time, the palace maid said loudly: "The princess means that men and women will be on the same list, and the highest number of men and women will be the first place."
"Gentlemen and ladies, please work hard!"
Everyone was stunned. On the same list?
Some men think that hunting is a game of horseback riding and archery, so if women compete with them, isn't it like hitting a stone with an egg?
Some men also think that if they hunt less than women, wouldn’t it be extremely embarrassing?
Many women already showed excitement on their faces at this time.
It was called a spring hunt, and they wore riding clothes and had horses with them, but in fact, today was their first time to participate in a real spring hunt!
There were even ministers who sent people to remind their young ladies to take care of themselves and do their best to obtain the position of county princess.
Even if you are not the first, those in the top 20 will receive rewards. If men and women are on the same list, there is no guarantee that there will be no competition.
If it really makes the list, His Majesty will take a second look at it!
The ministers thought again, the emperor really did respond to all the requests of the princess...
This is the position of county lord!
The palace maid continued, "The princess also said that this is voluntary participation, not mandatory, so don't feel pressured."
After these words were spoken, a small number of women breathed a sigh of relief.
They are not good at riding and shooting, and they don't want to compete with others. They just want to protect themselves.
The eldest princess really thought of everything for them.
The emperor looked at the turbulent situation on the hunting ground and curled the corners of his lips slightly. What his royal sister said was right. This was much more interesting than the spring hunts in previous years.
He stood up, picked up the bow and arrow, and shot the first arrow of the Spring Hunt, which was also the command arrow, into the air.
After a drum sounded, there were loud trumpet sounds from the east, south, west and north.
Everyone knelt down in unison, shouting, "Long live the emperor!"
The palace servants shouted at the top of their lungs: "Get up!"
Everyone stood up and were about to mount their horses and gallop away to the heart-stirring sound of the trumpet.
But suddenly I noticed something unusual in the sky.
Everyone looked up at the red paper that floated down from time to time, and subconsciously tried to catch it. After finding the words written on it, they all blinked, looking as if they were keeping a secret.
The main point is that Wen Yu herself was not present, but the red slips with the word "Yu" written on them were there.
Lin Yuzhi, who didn't answer it but knew what it was, said:...
Jiang Qi and Yue Lingfeng also didn’t answer the phone, but saw what was written on it and answered it last: …
The emperor who also noticed it:?
Is this the royal sister's new way of appearing?
Otherwise, who would be so bold as to write the eldest princess's name on this red paper and spread it all over the place in front of the emperor?
Lin Yuzhi closed his eyes. Fortunately, he was too drunk yesterday and his handwriting was messy...
The emperor asked the palace maid, "What is the emperor doing now?"
The palace maid replied: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is sleeping soundly."
The emperor frowned when he heard this and said, "Go and check who made this red paper."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Everyone waited for a long time before the red paper gradually floated away.
The ministers looked at each other and all covered their mouths and coughed lightly.
Shengjing Prefecture Governor poked Yue Lingfeng and said, "Did you come up with this? You are so bold. Unfortunately, you made a mistake. The Princess was not here!"
Yue Lingfeng: ...
"Not this officer."
A similar question also appeared in Jiang Qi's ears.
"Master Jiang, did you do this? The princess is not here, so you have...worked in vain!"
Jiang Qi: ...
At this moment, he and Yue Lingfeng had a tacit understanding, and said in a cold voice: "It's not me."
But no one cares about the real instigator, Lin Yuzhi.
Lin Yuzhi: ...
After he sobered up, he actually forgot that the red paper might be blown down the mountain by the wind. Such a carelessness was really unlike his style of being watertight.
At this time, the palace maid got the news from Yu Yichu and whispered it to the emperor.
The emperor was silent for a moment after hearing this, and his eyes fell on Lin Yuzhi.
As the head of all officials, Lin Yuzhi stood at the front and was most sensitive to the emperor's gaze.
He immediately realized that the emperor already knew that he was the one who did it. Although he had not intended to do so, the words on the red paper were indeed written by him.
The emperor's eyes were complicated, and he said calmly: "This is a surprise planned by the eldest princess for everyone."
Everyone present: ...
The emperor waved his hand and the horn sounded again. After everyone left the emperor, they rode their horses at high speed into the depths of the hunting ground.
The palace maid asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, do you want to go hunting too?"
The emperor sat firmly on the high platform: "No need."
In the palace, Wen Yu was so frightened by the sudden sound of a horn that she jumped up from the bed.
"Is it a fire? Or an earthquake?"
This sounds too much like the alarm sound during a fire drill in school, except that it's not as sharp and is much deeper.
Liu Chun quickly comforted her, "Princess, it's the sound of the spring hunting horn."
Wen Yu lay back on the bed after hearing this: "Oh, go back to sleep."
Not long after she fell asleep, the second horn suddenly sounded.
Wen Yu: ...
Liu Chun was also very confused: "Huh? Usually it only rings once, why is it ringing twice today?"
Wen Yu couldn't sleep at all this time.
I might as well get up and take a stroll in the legendary vast hunting ground.
She had just finished putting on her makeup and walked into the hunting ground when a piece of red paper floated before her eyes.
Wen Yu:?
"What?"
Liuchun picked it up and looked at it: "Princess, this, this red paper has your name written on it..."
Wen Yu jumped a long way when she heard that, her eyes widened: "Which villain is trying to murder this princess???"
