Chapter 39 Look at this family
"Mr. Zuo, Minister Zhang, Zijie..."

From a distance, the Fifth Prince pulled Luo Hongxia and shouted to Zhang Wei and others.

Zhang Wei and the others immediately bowed and greeted the Fifth Prince, "Greetings, Fifth Prince."

"Hahaha, Mr. Zuo, Minister Zhang, I didn't expect to meet you guys right after I got here. And Zijie, you said you would come to my house to get drunk, but I've been waiting for two months and you still haven't come. You really made me wait so long!"

The Fifth Prince then let go of Luo Hongxia's hand, and instead grabbed Zhang Wei's hand and complained. The aggrieved look of waiting for a talented person but not getting one was vividly portrayed on the Fifth Prince's face.

Zhang Wei got goosebumps all over his body when he saw it.

Too enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that it seems fake.

"If my sister hadn't seen you on the road today, I wouldn't have known that you had helped her solve such a big problem." The fifth prince stepped aside and said, "Come, Hongxia..."

"Huh?" Zhang Wei was stunned, then looked at Luo Hongxia behind the Fifth Prince. He stared at her for a long time before he remembered who the other person was from her pear-shaped buttocks.

"It turns out to be Princess Hongxia." Zhang Wei pulled his hand back from the fifth prince's hand, then bowed to Luo Hongxia.

"Master Zhang..."

Luo Hongxia was a little nervous, especially under the strange looks from Zuo Shangshu and Zhang Shilang. She felt very embarrassed. So she bowed to Zhang Wei stiffly, and then said, "Thank you for helping me by the Yunyan River."

Zhang Wei said calmly: "It's just a small favor, Princess, please don't take it to heart."

Without waiting for Luo Hongxia to speak, the Fifth Prince smiled and said, "Haha, Zijie, you helped my sister to control Peng Qing and safeguarded the reputation of my royal family. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"It's just a small matter, I don't deserve a reward." Zhang Wei shook his head and refused. But the fifth prince insisted: "Alas... Rewarding meritorious deeds and punishing faults is the way to maintain peace in the world. How can we treat it as a joke? Zijie, don't refuse!"

The fifth prince thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Today is the autumn hunting day, and all the young men in Yundu will go to the hunting grounds to hunt. I'm sure you, Zijie, will also participate. How can you do this without a good bow?"

Then the Fifth Prince clapped his hands, and immediately a military officer came forward carrying a treasure box, opened it, took out a half-man-high black wooden bow and handed it to Zhang Wei.

The fifth prince introduced: "This is my bow. It uses a legendary thousand-year-old spiritual wood as the arm and the bull demon's main tendon as the string! I call it Chasing Stars.

With full force, it can break three layers of iron armor. Even the legendary immortal master cannot ignore it. It is said that a precious bow is given to heroes, and today I will give it to you!"

As soon as the Fifth Prince finished speaking, Zhang Hui couldn't help but stand up and said, "Fifth Prince, this is too valuable! You absolutely can't..."

The Fifth Prince frowned and said unhappily, "Hey, this is what I gave to Zijie! Minister Zhang, why are you refusing for Zijie?"

Having said that, he forcefully stuffed the star-chasing bow into Zhang Wei's hand.

Zhang Wei did not refuse and thanked him, "Zijie thanks the Fifth Prince for the gift of the bow!"

"Um……"

The fifth prince nodded in satisfaction, and then seemed to want to say something, but he heard a melodious bell sound coming from the direction of the central army tent in the distance.

"Eh? This is my father calling us." The fifth prince frowned slightly, his face a little unhappy. Thinking of the woman he would have to face after he got there, the fifth prince instinctively felt uncomfortable.

But it was difficult to disobey his father's orders, so the Fifth Prince said to Zhang Wei and the others, "I'm sorry, Zijie. My father has given me an order, and as a son, I dare not disobey. Let's have a good chat another day!"

"Farewell, Fifth Prince!" Zhang Wei immediately bowed and saw the Fifth Prince off.

Zhang Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief after the Fifth Prince left, thinking that he had finally gotten rid of this uncomfortable guy.

Perhaps for other scholars, the Fifth Prince's courteous attitude and rewards would surely make the young scholars so excited that they would bow down to him.

But for Zhang Wei, who has watched too many historical dramas and eaten too many big cakes, his purpose is too obvious. The version is somewhat behind.

In addition, as a cultivator who can control electric current, Zhang Wei could clearly feel through his heartbeat that the Fifth Prince's behavior was somewhat insincere. So much so that even though he knew that the other party was not what he said, he still had to play along with him.

This was too much torture for him.

Fortunately, at this time, the Emperor Yun, whom he had never met, came to help and called the Fifth Prince away.

but……

Did he forget someone?
Zhang Wei looked at Luo Hongxia still standing there, and couldn't help asking, "Princess, aren't you going?"

"what?"

Luo Hongxia actually showed a confused look at this time.

Luo Hongxia pointed at herself and said, "Me?"

Zhang Wei asked curiously: "What else? Aren't you a family?"

"Cough cough..." At this time, Zhang Hui and Zuo Duo coughed violently twice, as if reminding Zhang Wei.

Luo Hongxia was stunned at first, then she showed a sad smile, but she still forced herself to cheer up and said to Zhang Wei with a smile: "Yes, we are a family. In this case, I will take my leave first."

After saying that, he left slowly, but Zhang Wei could see that the other person looked very lonely from behind.

"Uncle San, did I say something wrong?"

Zhang Wei couldn't help asking. Although he knew that Princess Hongxia's status in the royal family was somewhat low, from the current situation, it was no longer a matter of whether it was low or not!

Minister Zuo pursed his lips and said, "Princess Hongxia's situation is a little special... In the future, don't ask too much and don't get involved."

Riddler, get out of the Autumn Hunting Ground!

Zhang Wei rolled his eyes at Zuo Shangshu in his heart, then took the star-chasing bow and asked Zhang Hui: "What about Third Uncle's bow..."

Although the Fifth Prince's words were exaggerated, in Zhang Wei's eyes, this was just an ordinary bow made of better materials. It was not even comparable to a magic weapon, which was really a waste of talent.

Zhang Hui sighed, "Ah... take it. Some things you can't refuse just because you want to."

On the other side, after the bell rang, the princes who had already arrived at the royal hunting ground arrived one after another. However, compared with other brothers and sisters who came one after another, Luo Hongxia was alone and looked extremely desolate.

Luo Hongxia seemed to have long been accustomed to her own uniqueness, so after arriving at the central military tent, she sat in the corner, trying her best not to let others look at her.

The fifth prince, who had taken her to see Zhang Wei to thank him in person before, now acted as if he didn't know her. He sat in the front seats and had verbal confrontations with other princes.

Luo Hongxia had anticipated this situation when the Fifth Prince took her to find Zhang Wei.

In the Fifth Prince's mind, he was just an excuse to contact Zhang Wei. He just needed to use his name to connect with Zhang Wei and Minister Zhang behind him, to gain leverage for him to fight for the position of Crown Prince, and he didn't really want to thank him.

But even if we know, what can we do?

How could she, a ridiculous princess, refuse the Fifth Prince?
Thinking of this, Luo Hongxia felt even more sad.

At this time, the fifth prince was also chatting with the brothers he valued most.

The Emperor of Yun had eight children in total. According to the situation in Yun Country, as long as there was no crown prince, every child, regardless of gender, was nominally eligible to inherit the throne.

But the eldest princess and the fourth princess were married to foreign countries and married to the royal families of other countries. The second prince died young, and although the eighth prince was young, he was found to have spiritual roots and was taken to the Yunshang Sect to cultivate immortality.

Therefore, the only ones who are eligible to compete for the position of crown prince now are the third prince, the fifth prince and the seventh prince.

At this moment, the three princes were chatting under the throne.

The fifth prince asked quietly, "Third brother, some time ago the tribute students of the Imperial College rioted and angered our father. Have you found out anything about this matter?"

The Third Prince was slightly older than the Fifth Prince, a middle-aged man with a strong scholarly air. After hearing what the Fifth Prince said, he immediately corrected him, "Hey, Fifth Brother, you are wrong. The tribute students were also concerned about the safety of the country, so they did something slightly excessive in the heat of the moment. Their original intention was good. As long as they are guided well, they are all pillars of our Yun Kingdom!"

At this time, a young prince who was only sixteen or seventeen years old and sitting behind the two princes smiled and said, "Yes, we must guide them well. We can't let some people with ulterior motives incite and shake our Yun Kingdom. After all, you have to know that sometimes the enemy does not necessarily come from outside, but may also be our own people."

At first glance, there was nothing wrong with the Seventh Prince's words, but the tone of his voice made people feel uncomfortable. Coupled with his expression that looked like a fox's smirk, it made people even more angry.

The third prince shouted with an unpleasant expression: "Seventh Prince!"

The seventh prince spread his hands with an innocent look on his face, blinked his eyes and said maliciously: "I didn't say anything, why are you angry, third brother? Could it be that, third brother, you have something...to hide?" "Humph!" The third prince snorted coldly, and just as he was about to get angry, he heard the eunuch outside shouting in his shrill voice.

"Your Majesty is here!"

"The royal concubine is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a red carpet woven by hundreds of weavers from the weaving bureau in the southern part of Yun Kingdom was rolled out, and then a team of golden-armored soldiers rushed into the tent to guard the four sides. Then, a rain of petals fell, and several palace maids threw petals to clear the way, and then a model couple walked in.

My husband is about fifty years old. Even if he takes good care of himself, his temples are already gray. He wears a goose yellow dragon robe, and when he walks, he gives people the demeanor of a superior who is intimidating without anger.

His wife, on the other hand, looked to be no more than 20 years old, and was wearing a purple cape embroidered with golden phoenixes, which made her look extremely elegant.

And her appearance was extremely charming, and her every frown and smile was full of allure. At this moment, she leaned on her husband's shoulder like a little bird, letting his withered old hand hold her shoulders.

When they saw the two men coming in, the three princes and Princess Hongxia immediately stood up and bowed, "Your Highness, I greet you, Father, and I greet you, Auntie."

Obviously, this combination of old husband and young wife is the current ruler of Yun Kingdom, Emperor Yun Luo Yun, and Yang Guifei, who is criticized by both the court and the public.

The former was fine, but when the four princes and princesses called the latter, their expressions facing the ground became very unnatural.

Obviously, their address to Yang Guifei's aunt was somewhat insincere. If it weren't for the order from Emperor Yun, they wouldn't have wanted to care about such a humble woman younger than themselves.

"Everyone, get up."

Luo Yun said lightly, then he took Yang Guifei up the steps and sat directly on the dragon throne specially prepared for him in the big tent.

Just as the three princes and Princess Hongxia were about to stand up, they heard their father say to Concubine Yang: "My beloved concubine, please sit with me!"

The three princes immediately raised their heads, their eyes full of disbelief. Even Princess Hongxia was shocked.

"what?"

Yang Guifei seemed to be frightened as well. She covered her full chest and said with embarrassment, "This... this is not good, right?"

Luo Yun waved his hand and said, "What's wrong with that? We are all family, and there are no outsiders here!"

Having said that, he reached out and grabbed Yang Guifei's sleeve. How could a weak woman like Yang Guifei resist the strength displayed by this fifty-year-old body?

It floated directly into Luo Yun's arms as lightly as a feather, making Luo Yun laugh.

He totally ignored the gloomy faces of the three princes below. The seventh prince's face was even darker and turned green.

"The third child..."

At this time Luo Yun suddenly spoke, and the Third Prince immediately bowed and said, "Your son is here!"

Luo Yun said meaningfully: "I am very happy that you have helped my father share his worries, but I don't like the way you handled the matter of those tribute students in the Imperial College. But considering that you are filial and young, I will not say anything to you. Be careful next time."

Luo Yun's tone was light, but to the Third Prince's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue, or like a poisonous snake wrapped around his neck.

He knew that this was Luo Yun’s warning!
He knows everything!
Swallowing hard, the Third Prince replied with difficulty: "Yes... yes."

"Um……"

Under Yang Guifei's massage, Yun Huang Luo Yun let out a snort.

Then Luo Yun gave the fifth and seventh princes some pointers, focusing on their recent actions, in order to show his deep concern and love for them.

The two princes immediately expressed their gratitude to their father with tears in their eyes. For a moment, the warmth between father and son was fully displayed.

After a long conversation and chatting with the children about family matters, Emperor Yun Luo Yun yawned, waved his hand and said, "Well, all right, the autumn hunt is about to begin, you should go back and prepare. Your father is looking forward to your performance in the hunting ground."

"Yes!"

The three princes bowed and left, and Luo Hongxia, who had been invisible, was also about to leave. But at this moment, Yang Guifei, who had been silent until then, suddenly called her.

"Oh, right, Hongxia..."

Luo Hongxia paused, turned around, bowed to the woman who was a few years younger than you, and asked, "Auntie..."

"I heard that you've been living in poverty recently. Do you need your aunt's help?" Yang Guifei asked with concern. Although she was younger than Luo Hongxia, she looked like a loving mother caring for her daughter.

But Luo Hongxia knew the details of the delicate and lovely Concubine Yang. So she immediately refused and said, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie, but..."

"Your aunt is helping you, how can you refuse?" At this time an old voice sounded. It turned out that Luo Yun opened his turbid eyes and stared at his daughter with a sinister look.

That look seems to be saying that you refuse to try?

Luo Hongxia's body trembled, she lowered her head and stopped talking?

Yang Guifei pretended to be angry and patted Yun Huang Luo Yun on the shoulder, then said to Luo Hongxia: "I heard that you are good at martial arts. There are a few purple-gold minks in the hunting ground. You know, this kind of mink fur has always been in short supply in Yundu City. If you can hunt it, I can buy it for a hundred taels per mink."

humiliation!

This is humiliating!

What do you think of me, woman!

Luo Hongxia clenched her fists tightly, her nails piercing into the skin of her palms. But even though she was extremely reluctant, she could only lower her head and say, "Yes, Hongxia... Thank you for your grace, Auntie!"

After Luo Hongxia left the tent, Yun Huang Luo Yun hugged Yang Guifei's slender waist and said, "You don't have to be so nice to her. She's an ungrateful person who never knows how to be grateful! Look at the way she looked at us just now. She wanted to eat us all."

Yang Guifei pitifully advised: "You can't say that. No matter what, Hongxia is still your daughter."

Luo Yun snorted coldly, "Humph, I would rather not have this daughter! And the third, fifth, and seventh brothers! All of them make me worry! Do they think they can hide what they do from me?!"

Yang Guifei was "panicked" and said: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. It's all my fault. If it weren't for me..."

Before Yang Guifei could finish, Luo Yun interrupted the woman and said, "Hey, you just take all the blame on yourself! Don't those people just gossip about you because you are a helpless woman? When you give birth to a prince, I wonder what they will have to say!"

"Prince?" Yang Guifei was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly and said, "I will definitely live up to your expectations."

As she spoke, Yang Guifei's arms also wrapped around Luo Yun's neck. The guards and palace maids beside her immediately retreated tactfully upon seeing this.

"Then we have to work hard."

Luo Yun laughed, suddenly stood up and pressed Yang Guifei's delicate body under him. For a while, the sound of lovemaking was endless.

After leaving the central military tent, the Seventh Prince walked into his own tent with a gloomy face. A middle-aged man was already waiting for him inside.

He stood up immediately when he saw the Seventh Prince coming in, and then, without waiting for him to speak, he said, "Third brother's little trick has been discovered."

The middle-aged man paused, then smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that your majesty is still as skilled as ever..."

The Seventh Prince sat on the chair and asked, "How are the preparations going?"

The middle-aged man immediately replied: "They have all been transported to the hunting grounds. I guarantee that we can give them a big surprise."

Then, the middle-aged man considered his words again and asked, "Qilang, do you really only want to target that woman? Do you want your uncle to..."

The Seventh Prince glanced at his uncle coldly and said, "Why? Do you want me to kill my father or my brother?"

The middle-aged man advised earnestly: "Qilang, womanly kindness will kill you!"

"This is not a woman's kindness!"

The Seventh Prince shouted angrily: "I just don't want to become the person I hate the most!"

"I will fight for the throne, but I will only fight for it in an open and aboveboard manner! I, Luo Fuge, do not want a throne obtained by such dirty means!"
