Zhou Seren's heart skipped a beat when he was named. His Majesty suddenly became concerned about him. Could it be that the donation of silver last time angered His Majesty, and now he is preparing to settle accounts in the future? !
He quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I am in good health. Thank you for your concern."
Yun Yaoyao nodded lightly: "That's good. I know that Minister Zhou's family is poor. My ministers can worry about the people, but they cannot worry about food."
"Come here, I'll reward the Minister of Zhou with ten stones of food!"
The sudden reward made Zhou Siren confused.
Is Your Majesty possessed by an evil spirit today? He actually gave him a reward.
No, this tyrant's behavior has become unpredictable recently. He must be holding back a big evil!
He responded respectfully and answered without missing a beat: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will be more dedicated and loyal to my duties during my tenure!"
This answer is more subtle. If you want to show your loyalty to the emperor, you will answer "I will do my best for His Majesty and do my best to share your worries for Your Majesty". Zhou Siren's answer is that he will definitely work hard.
This indirectly expresses his position, don't touch me, I don't want to hang you.
Sure enough, when Lou Jianshan, who was still a little suspicious, heard this, he looked back with satisfaction.
Yun Yaoyao understands and is not in a hurry. This is just an introduction. The real big move is yet to come~
After the court, Yun Yaoyao and Tu Shanjin met in Qianqing Palace.
"I just tested Zhou Siren at the court, and he is indeed an old fox." Yun Yaoyao smiled, "I have to find an opportunity to meet him in private."
"Seven days later, it will be the autumn hunting day. This is a good time." Tu Shanjin took a sip of tea.
"Autumn hunting?"
Yun Yaoyao has watched many costume dramas in modern times, so she naturally knows the general process.
After the hunt is over, a dedicated person will count the prey and rank them in order to increase the fun of the activity.
Yun Yaoyao asked smoothly: "When you participated in autumn hunting before, where did you usually rank?"
Tu Shanjin put down the tea cup and slowly spit out two words: "First."
When he said this, his back straightened up a lot, and his eyes were full of pride.
"What?!" Yun Yaoyaozu said.
"I don't know how to ride and shoot, so when the autumn hunting day comes, won't I be exposed?"
Tu Shanjin had already thought of a countermeasure: "This autumn hunting can change the rules. Each man will bring a female family member. If you bring me, I can assist you."
Yun Yaoyao looked at Tu Shanjin's soft and white arms and expressed doubt: "Are you sure you are here to help me?"
Tu Shanjin expressionlessly crushed a tea cup to show the effect of his recent training.
Yun Yaoyao silently gave him a thumbs up.
"But you have to work harder. In these seven days, you not only have to learn to ride and shoot, but also become proficient." Tu Shanjin looked at her with a half-smile.
Hearing this, Yun Yaoyao wailed: "If you don't work hard, your life will be miserable!"
After deciding to learn riding and shooting, they naturally had to choose a suitable good horse first, so the two came to Yumawan.
When the Royal Horse Supervisor saw Yun Yaoyao, he immediately saluted respectfully: "Meet your Majesty! Meet Miao Fei!"
Yun Yaoyao nodded gently: "Choose two good horses for me and Concubine Miao."
The horse supervisor immediately ordered someone to bring in two horses and introduced them.
"Your Majesty, this is a blood-stained horse from the Western Region. This horse has pure blood, is strong and powerful, and is very humane. It will definitely help your Majesty easily win the first place in the autumn hunting!"
Yun Yaoyao looked at the two horses. One was silver white and the other was pure black. They had long and powerful limbs and shiny hair. They looked like good horses at first glance.
She nodded with satisfaction: "Well, let's go down. I will try the horse with Concubine Miao."
The Royal Horse Supervisor and others immediately retreated, leaving the venue to the two of them.
Tu Shanjin came to the white horse, stepped on the stirrups, and turned over lightly. He pulled up the reins with one hand, his green dress was carried by the wind, and he rode the horse skillfully.
The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like a shooting star.
After the silver horse snorted for several times, it slowly calmed down and showed its submission.
Seeing this, Yun Yaoyao felt itchy and unbearable, so she walked up to the black horse and wanted to imitate Tu Shanjin's movements to mount the horse.
Unexpectedly, the dark horse leaned forward, turned his position, and pointed his butt at Yun Yaoyao.
After trying it several times in a row, Yun Yaoyao, who had a warm face but a cold butt, was also annoyed.
"Hey, you dead horse!"
Yun Yaoyao stopped riding, ran to the stable not far away, picked up fresh fodder, and began to feed the horse under Tu Shanjin.
Feeding and chanting at the same time.
"The well-behaved horse has grass to eat, so go ahead and eat. Later I will ask the horse supervisor to find more delicious food for you."
Feeding and feeding, the proud black horse also wanted to stick out his tongue and lick it.
Yun Yaoyao dodged with Pan Zhoudan and stuffed the fodder into the mouth of the silver horse.
He threatened fiercely: "As for a certain disobedient horse, there will be no food or water!"
Seeing that Yun Yaoyao was a perfectly fine person, she actually started to compete with a horse.
Tu Shanjin felt helpless and funny. He reined in the reins and glanced down: "This horse is arrogant and needs to be conquered with strength. You are not like this..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the arrogant black horse raised his leg and rubbed against Yun Yaoyao, snorting.
Hey Twoleg, give me something to eat.
Tu Shanjin: "..." Pretend he didn't say anything.
Yun Yaoyao reluctantly forgave it and successfully got on the horse.
Looking at the surroundings that were much higher than usual, she felt excited and novel.
The black horse even took her around twice, and Le Diyun gracefully patted its back: "That's right. A handsome horse is one who knows the current affairs!"
"Since you're following me, I have to give you a name." Yun Yaoyao thought for a while, her eyes lit up, "I'll call you Fan Tong, it's smooth and appropriate."
Black Horse snorted several times in dissatisfaction to express his refusal.
Yun Yaoyao thought for a while: "Then call her Pi Yanzi, or Leg Maozi. You are so dark, you can call her Xiao Heizi."
Dark Horse: "..." Let's call it Rice Tong.
In this way, a high-end blooded horse from the Western Regions got a name that would accompany it for the rest of its life: Rice Tong!
Tu Shanjin also named his horse Gale.
Fan Tong felt extremely unbalanced, but why did his two-legged beast owner look like a human being but not care about human affairs at all?
After systematically learning horse riding and archery from Tu Shanjin for seven days, Yun Yaoyao was almost vomited by the horse, and only then did she survive the autumn hunting day.
On this day, a group of ministers and the legitimate children and family members of the family were waiting outside the hunting ground early.
Men and women are all dressed in smart clothes, smiling and full of energy.
Some people are confused: "In the past, His Majesty was the first in the Autumn Hunt, and King Ze was second. This time, the rules of the Autumn Hunt have been changed to a male and female team. I don't know who can win the first place."
Some people were envious: "At first glance, the rules were changed for Concubine Miao. I heard that His Majesty will go to teach Concubine Miao how to ride and shoot in the next seven days. He is really moved by Concubine Miao."
There was also a thoughtful lady in the boudoir who thought to herself: Your Majesty is no longer as violent and bloodthirsty as before. Perhaps he has developed a new understanding of women and has a tender side.
They think that their talents and family background are no worse than that of Concubine Miao, so do they have a chance...
A loud "Your Majesty has arrived! Concubine Miao has arrived!" brought everyone back from their thoughts.
Yun Yaoyao and Tu Shanjin entered the room slowly, one behind the other.
The man has a tall and slender figure, cold eyebrows, sharp and distinct features, and an outstanding appearance. He is alone and exudes the aura of a noble and intimidating person.
The morning breeze blows and flutters the black and gold-patterned forged robe, flying like flames, as if a god has come to the world.
The woman is dressed in red, half of her black hair is held up by a red silk ribbon, and the remaining half of her black hair is draped over her shoulders, flying around her shoulders as she moves.
Her skin is as good as snow, and her pair of dark-green autumn eyes are pure and charming, but her aura is cold and cold. It doesn't match, but it makes people even more fascinated.
The appearance of the two of them, as well as the surrounding scene, was like adding a layer of filters. It was so eye-catching that it not only made Xiao Wuzi, the number one die-hard fan, praise the match, but also silenced the entire audience.
Tu Shanjin stunned all the young men, making their hearts beat like thunder and their breathing speeding up by three points.
Yun Yaoyao, on the other hand, was fascinated by the ladies, their faces were red, and they couldn't help but feel excited.
Your Majesty, he can only dote on Concubine Miao. How could such an affectionate person have any bad intentions? In the past, it must have been his father and mother who were spreading alarmism!
She wants to enter the palace, and she also wants to serve His Majesty! ! !
