"Chengwen, please tell me first." Li Fu asked the third prince first.
"My son, I am going to give what I got today to my mother and concubine." Li Chengwen then bowed and said.
With these words, his mother-in-law Wei Xiuyi was startled, and she quickly waved her hands and said, "Your Majesty, Chengwen is ignorant, Your Majesty..."
There were the emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress present. When would it be her turn to receive what she had received.
After hearing this, Xiang Nan felt that the third brother was too confused and only listened to his mother and concubine. So much so that at such a time, such a big mistake was made.
"Who says he is ignorant? You should be happy to have such a filial son." Li Hao looked at Wei Xiuyi and nodded.
Wei Xiuyi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the emperor was not angry.
"Thank you, Father." Li Chengwen also bowed again.
But Xiang Nan knew that Li Chengwen had already lost his heart as a king.
The emperor had no expectations of him, so it was naturally easier for him to forgive him.
"Chengyuan, who do you want to dedicate your prey to?" Li Fu then asked the fourth prince.
"My son, I would like to give the prey I caught today to the Empress Dowager. I wish my grandma good health and longevity!" Li Chengyuan stood up and said.
"Grandma Imperial, this child is so thoughtful! He always thinks about Grandma Imperial." When Li Zuo heard this, he was really happy and said to the Empress Dowager with a smile.
"I owe you to the Emperor!" The Empress Dowager also smiled.
Li Fu then asked the second prince, "Chengye, where are you?"
"I would like to dedicate the prey I caught today to the Queen." Li Chengye stood up and said.
After saying this sentence, everyone in the audience couldn't help but be stunned.
Li Chengye is now competing with Xiang Nan for the crown prince position, and Xiang Nan is the son of Queen Zhang Meiniang, but Li Chengye wants to give his prey to Zhang Meiniang.
What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd? !
But I heard Li Chengye talk eloquently, "The emperor governs the country with filial piety, and the queen and mother are respectful to the world. She is not only the mother of her sons and ministers, but also the mother of thousands of people in the world. Chengye would like to express his gratitude to the queen for her kindness on behalf of the people of the world. .”
What he said was really beautiful.
"The Second Prince is overly praised. Thank you for your filial piety." Zhang Meiniang smiled and nodded, and then said, "Your Majesty, I am very curious. I wonder who Cheng Yin will sacrifice his prey to?"
"Cheng Yin, tell me the answer quickly, my mother can't wait any longer!" Li Hao then looked at Xiang Nan and said.
Li Chengye wanted to wait for his father to praise him a few words, but he didn't expect that all his attention would be taken away by Zhang Meiniang's light words.
Now that Xiang Nan was about to leave the queue, he could no longer stand where he was, so he had to return to his seat silently.
…
"My son, I would like to dedicate the prey I caught today to my father. I wish my father great blessings and a long life!" Xiang Nan immediately stood up and said.
In the play, Li Chengyin gave his prey to the former crown prince's mother, Concubine Hui, to fulfill his filial piety on behalf of the former crown prince.
Xiang Nan didn't have much affection for the prince, and he knew that the emperor, empress, and empress dowager all wanted him to dedicate his prey to the emperor. Therefore, he will naturally not disobey their wishes.
Sure enough, the emperor, empress, and empress dowager were all very happy when they heard what Xiang Nan said.
"Okay, they are all filial and good children, and they all have their hearts." Li Hao smiled and said, "Do you have any prey you want to give to me?"
"Father, I have it!" Yongning stood up and said, "Yongning is willing to give today's prey to father."
"What kind of prey is it?" Li Hao asked curiously.
Yongning smiled and said, "A lark."
Li Hao was slightly startled, "Huh? Just hit such a little thing?"
Yongning smiled and said, "Father, don't underestimate me. The ones my brothers shot were all running on the ground, but the ones Yongning shot were flying in the sky. As the saying goes, things are rare and valuable. Moreover, they are quite fast. I It took a lot of effort to catch him!”
"Okay! Things are rare and valuable. I like this gift you gave me." Li Hao chuckled and said, "Reward Yongning!"
"Thank you, Father!" Princess Yongning smiled.
"Your Majesty, I hope to give my prey to the Empress Dowager." At this time, Qu Xiaofeng also stood up and said, "The Empress Dowager is the best to me and always gives me delicious food. I want to give my prey to Give them all to her."
"Haha~" Li Hao laughed, "Grandma Huang, this child is really filial."
"Yes." The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, "Then I will accept it."
…
After the banquet, everyone went home.
"Thank you, His Highness King Yi, for sending me the little rabbit. It will be easy for Sese to take it home and raise it." Zhao Sese said to Xiang Nan.
"Okay, Miss Zhao, thank you for speaking for me just now." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.
"Sese also wants to learn more about riding and shooting from my brother. Next time when hunting, I can gallop with His Highness King Yi." Zhao Sese added.
"Okay, but learning to ride and shoot is very hard." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Girl, you don't have to force yourself."
"It doesn't matter." Zhao Sese waved his hand.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan nodded, thinking that Zhao Sese was really sincere to him.
It's just that Zhao Jingyu is a bit of a noob, and Zhao Sese is also quite sinister and likes to play tricks.
Therefore, Xiang Nan was not too enthusiastic about her overtures.
…
At dusk, Xiang Nan went to the palace to pick up Qu Xiaofeng and A'Du from the palace to play.
In fact, this was also tacitly approved by the Queen and the Queen Mother.
"It's really great to be able to leave the palace?! It's great." Qu Xiaofeng said happily while sitting on the carriage.
Even A'Du was a little more cheerful than before.
For the convenience of traveling, both of them changed into casual clothes and dressed up in men's clothing.
"Speaking of which, where do you want to go?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
"Of course it is the most prosperous and lively place." Qu Xiaofeng said with a smile.
"Then let's go to Dongshi." Xiang Nan nodded. "There are many shops there and merchants gather there. Maybe we can see Xizhou merchants?"
"Really?! Great, let's go quickly." Qu Xiaofeng nodded.
Xiang Nan immediately ordered Shi En to drive to Dongshi.
When we arrived at Dongshi, it was indeed very lively.
There are all kinds of people hawking on the street, doing tricks, selling snacks and snacks, shopping and shopping... There are all kinds of people, and it is very lively.
"Wow~" Qu Xiaofeng and A'Du were both dazzled.
Although Yanzhi City and Danchi Wangzhang in Xizhou are also cities with a population of more than 100,000, they are also very prosperous and lively.
But compared with Shangjing City, it pales in comparison.
While walking and watching the excitement, Qu Xiaofeng's ears suddenly twitched, "Hey, it's our Xizhou song~"
The three of them followed the sound and saw melodious Xizhou music coming from a wine shop.
"Let's go in and have a look." When Xiang Nan saw the plaque, "Miro Winery", he knew he was in the right place, and immediately took Qu Xiaofeng and A'Du into the store.
I saw Xizhou musicians playing music in the store, and among them was a beautiful woman dancing to the music.
Her graceful figure and charming dancing posture attracted the attention of all the drinkers in the audience and made everyone marvel.
And Xiang Nan recognized at a glance that she was the beauty Milo who he had met once in Anhu Mansion in the West.
