Chapter 270: Attack on the Paddock
Chapter 270: Attack on the Paddock
Wu Yanmeng is not as naive as her own maid. Although she lost her memory in the mission world, she is still smart.
She nodded perfunctorily, looking at Xu Yanli leaving in the distance, her eyes full of excitement.
Looking at him, she felt an inexplicably intense emotion in her heart, although this emotion made her feel a little inexplicably angry. Perhaps this was the legendary love at first sight, the power of love, otherwise why did she feel nothing when looking at others.
Wu Yan dreamed with full confidence.
Unaware that above his head, a secret cat guard was leaning leisurely on the beam, quietly looking at a certain male protagonist in the distance.
The young man Xu Yanli walked to the corner and used the excuse of going to the toilet, but suddenly turned around and looked back. A hint of sharpness flashed in his clear and gentle eyes.
But the only things he saw were two young men who were obviously women dressed as men, and one of them even smiled at him with sympathy.
Xu Yanli's handsome eyebrows drooped. It wasn't these two idiots! He didn't find that person.
The male protagonist was too sensitive to gazes, and Qingyin, who reacted quickly, not only retracted her gaze, but also quickly changed her position - to the horizontal bar of the bracket, thus avoiding the male protagonist's search.
Qingyin took a candy from Princess Qingyan and put it in her mouth. There was a special hole on the mask to reveal the corners of her mouth, and Qingyin put it smoothly into her mouth.
The thin, light pink lips bit the candy into pieces and sucked it, not wanting to miss any trace of sweetness in the candy.
Qingyin looked expressionlessly at the stupid Wu Yanmeng below. It didn't matter. She didn't expect this fool who was trapped in the mission world to complete the mission.
Qingyin slowly tore open the wrapper of another candy and bit it hard, as if she was biting on a fool.
It doesn’t matter. After the mission is completed, he will collect some compensation.
After walking around the palace, Wu Yanmeng suddenly felt like there was a tail around her.
Emperor Chongzhao also did not intend to tell her that he had made Ruyu his secret guard.
However, the palace was busy with government affairs and Emperor Chongzhao was too busy to find time to come and see what this child looked like after not seeing him for a long time.
It was not until after the results of the autumn examination that Xu Yanli, who ranked first in the top six, was personally appointed by Emperor Chongzhao as a fifth-rank academician in the Hanlin Academy. Although it does not seem to be a high position, this official position allows him to face the emperor in person, and is equivalent to a secretary who takes notes at meetings. If he is noticed by His Majesty one day, promotion is just around the corner. This shows how much His Majesty values Xu Yanli.
Qingyin followed Wu Yanmeng and listened to what she said.
It has to be said that Emperor Chongzhao, a wise ruler, and Xu Yanli, a rare court official, were a perfect match.
The same diligence, the same indifference, and without any worldly desires.
Qingyin sighed, no wonder Wu Yanmeng couldn't complete the task. The male protagonist in this world simply had no emotions at all. However, Qingyin felt that he could still complete it.
Confidentjpg! ! !
After a while, it was time for the first problem the male protagonist encountered after entering the government.
August 19th, the autumn hunt after the first New Year of the Jokhang Dynasty.
The emperor, accompanied by his clan relatives and close ministers, civil officials and military generals, a mighty procession of several thousand men and horses, two thousand imperial guards, and hundreds of family members of the visitors, crossed the capital and arrived at Zhaolin Paddock.
Qingyin naturally followed Wu Yanmeng to the paddock, but Wu Yanmeng had not yet noticed that there was a new person named Ruyu beside her.
He also leaned in the carriage to relieve the motion sickness and fatigue of the past few days.
Zhaolin Weichang is located halfway up Lulao Mountain. It has beautiful scenery and relatively flat terrain, and can easily accommodate thousands of people.
Qingyin got out of the carriage and stopped on a tall tree trunk to rest. This old tree had lush branches and leaves, with its head held high towards the sky. Due to the height advantage of this giant tree, Qingyin was able to see the Autumn Hunting Team.
The long team was like a river winding through the woods, and smoke could be seen rising from the camping site in the distance.
Qingyin checked the terrain and turned over.
The footsteps were light, and Qingyin heard Wu Yanmeng in the carriage excitedly say to Lu'e that she wanted to pick mushrooms, but Lu'e persuaded her to go back again and again.
Qingyin's face turned black after hearing this.
Princess Wu Yanmeng only thinks about eating and playing every day, no wonder she failed to complete the task.
Qingyin sighed, hid himself in the night, and waited for the next day to come.
At 3:15 AM the next day, the sun was rising and the sky was gradually getting brighter.
Emperor Chongzhao had woken up on time. The charming palace maid looked at His Majesty, who looked young even in middle age, expectantly and seductively. While changing her clothes, she looked up and revealed her most proud face. If His Majesty valued her and made her a concubine...
As the palace maid thought about it, her eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of ambition. She lowered her head expectantly and timidly, revealing the white patch of skin on the back of her neck.
Li Yuanzhen, who was standing not far away, looked coldly at the dishonest palace maid. Haha, another woman who overestimated her own abilities.
Does she think that His Majesty is the kind of person who is greedy for beauty?
Time has not taken away his good looks. Instead, he has become more mature than when he was young. He is as handsome as a glass of mellow red wine. He said without blinking, "Li Yuanzhen, drag him out."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
There were very few people in the room, and although the emperor did not say the name, several people quickly understood who his majesty was talking about.
The palace maid who had just shown her ambitions has collapsed to the ground.
It was not until she saw the eunuch Li Yuanzhen walking towards her with someone in his arms that she remembered something and could not help but kneel down and move towards the bright yellow corner of the clothes in front of her.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Please spare my life, Your Majesty. I just, I just like Your Majesty too much..."
The woman's sharp voice suddenly sounded, which made the man's face remain unchanged, but his eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
Seeing that the woman had displeased His Majesty, Li Yuanzhen quickly took a piece of cotton cloth and stuffed it into the woman's mouth to block her voice. He then glared at the two eunuchs who were walking around and said, "Hurry up and suppress this crazy woman."
"Yes Yes!"
The two frightened eunuchs then hurriedly dragged the man away.
Li Yuanzhen heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the man being dragged away. He looked at His Majesty, who had not yet changed his clothes, and said, "Your Majesty, please let me change your clothes first."
"Ah."
Emperor Chongzhao responded casually.
Ever since he raised Ruyu, he didn't like to be overly intimate with others. For example, when changing clothes, he would usually only have one palace maid serve him.
Emperor Chongzhao changed into a bright yellow riding suit because he would also be participating in the autumn hunt.
Looking at the bright light outside the palace, Emperor Chongzhao suddenly thought of the child he had deliberately forgotten.
He should be following Qingyan to the enclosure by now.
Li Yuanzhen didn't know what His Majesty was thinking, but he had a vague feeling that His Majesty was in a pretty good mood today. Even if he met a dishonest palace maid, it didn't ruin His Majesty's good mood.
Li Yuanzhen did not think too much about it. He just thought that the first autumn hunt in the new year put His Majesty in a good mood, and he felt more relaxed following His Majesty's footsteps.
When Emperor Chongzhao arrived, the seats in the enclosure were already full. As a princess, Wu Yanmeng was specially placed in a position close to the emperor, and her status was even second only to that of the crown prince.
This also shows the emperor's favor for Princess Qingyan.
Everyone thought about this in their hearts and looked at their good-looking and talented sons and grandsons several times.
Emperor Chongzhao sat high on the imperially made purple wooden throne with dragon patterns, and he could see everyone's emotions at a glance.
As the ceremonial music sounded, Emperor Chongzhao seemed to glance around unintentionally, but his gaze seemed to have only accidentally stayed on Wu Yanmeng's spot for a few seconds.
His eyes fell on Wu Yanmeng who was happily gnawing on a pig's trotter. Emperor Chongzhao let out a light click of his tongue, looked at Wu Yanmeng with disdain, then quietly looked around Wu Yanmeng before reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
Where is Qingyin, who is being sought by Emperor Chongzhao? As a qualified secret guard, he must hide in the dark and observe the person he is protecting at any time, so Qingyin stood on a tree 300 meters away, keeping an eye on the movement ahead.
With his vision of more than 5.0, Qingyin can easily see everything in the distance.
He could even see that the emperor who had raised him for some time looked as if his appearance had not changed at all, and he seemed to be saying something as he sat above.
The music stopped, probably because the emperor was announcing the hunting rules and rewards.
Sure enough, not long after, Qingyin saw many young court officials and young masters walking towards the enclosure, surrounding a bright yellow color.
It's time to start hunting.
Qingyin knocked on the tree trunk. The crisp sound was not obvious, but mixed with the bird calls, making it impossible to distinguish the movement.
Qingyin had already followed Wu Yanmeng silently with his excellent lightness skills.
The princesses of the Qing Dynasty all knew how to ride and shoot, but Wu Yanmeng obviously had no interest in hunting and was only thinking about picking mushrooms.
Unfortunately, the other young masters were not interested in picking mushrooms, but they were very interested in the people who picked mushrooms.
They gathered around Wu Yanmeng, their handsome faces full of flattery, "Hello Princess Qingyan, my name is Liu Fu, I am the legitimate son of the left prime minister. Princess, do you have any prey you like? Although I am not very capable, but..."
"If you are not capable, then you are not capable. What else do you want to tell me? I say you are a loser." Wu Yanmeng rolled her eyes at the handsome young man who spoke first with her pretty face, her eyes full of contempt.
Although Liu Fu didn't understand what the princess meant by "rookie", he could obviously tell it was not a good thing and his face turned red. "I'm just being humble, okay? It's really not good enough." Liu Fu held his breath for several breaths and didn't let out any sound. After all, the girl in front of him was a princess who was valued by the emperor.
The gentlemen nearby probably didn't expect that the princess, who looked like a well-behaved lady, could be so mean. This was somewhat consistent with the rumors about the arrogant Princess Qingyan.
For a moment, several people hesitated and did not dare to try to please the princess.
However, when they thought of His Majesty's favor for the princess, ambition and greed rekindled in their eyes and they continued to talk to Wu Yanmeng.
Then Qingyin witnessed the scene of Wu Yanmeng scolding people one after another.
"You are so thin and look weak, yet you still help me, haha."
"You know a lot, do you think I know little and am stupid? It's just you who know a lot, and it's not a big deal to know a lot, haha."
"Did you put something in your shoes? Why do you look taller than me and shorter than me?"
"What's wrong? This princess just loves to pick mushrooms. If you like to read, then read! Haha."
……
With every sentence, Qingyin witnessed the young man's expression changing drastically, as fast as a chameleon.
Later, Qingyin couldn't help but nod in her heart when she saw Wu Yanmeng scolding the man away single-handedly.
He felt that this person was not very good at fulfilling the wishes of the wish-makers, but was very suitable for the task of fighting against the best. He could guarantee that he could scold the best to death and make people feel relieved.
Qingyin followed Wu Yanmeng all the way, and watched Wu Yanmeng pick up a bunch of poisonous mushrooms that could kill a person in three seconds, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Fortunately, the tasker knew that most mushrooms were poisonous and that they could not be touched now, so he just planned to take them back and let the imperial physician in the palace identify them.
Wu Yanmeng went deeper and deeper, and Qingyin felt relieved. In the enclosure for the emperor's enjoyment, there were very few ferocious beasts and poisonous snakes.
Naturally, there is no problem with the princess's safety.
But there is such a thing as a bug, the more you don’t want something to happen, the more it will happen.
Not long after walking, Qingyin discovered the bright yellow figure being besieged in front of him, and the white male protagonist next to him who was desperately protecting Emperor Chongzhao.
There is also Wu Yanmeng, who has entered the fray with only a frail palace maid following her.
Wu Yanmeng's eyes widened as he looked at the besieged Emperor in front of him. There were no stones on the ground for a moment. Wu Yanmeng's mind went blank and he shouted in the direction of Emperor Chongzhao: "Emperor! Disperse!"
The woman's shrill voice was deafening, and both parties who were fighting were stunned.
During this pause, Emperor Chongzhao watched his little daughter, who only knew how to eat and play, raise a large basket of colorful mushrooms in her hand and throw it towards him.
He subconsciously moved away, but those assassins were obviously not so lucky. Some mushrooms were thrown into their mouths. Some of them chewed subconsciously, and fell down the next second.
Qingyin: "..."
Qingyin had excellent eyesight and saw clearly the mushroom that fell into the unlucky Thorn Guard's mouth - the deadly Amanita. It really lived up to its name, the deadly murderous mushroom.
Qingyin thought secretly, and ran out with quick reaction. She first blocked the assassin who wanted to approach and hold the princess hostage. The soft blade hanging on her waist was pulled out, and it was no longer as beautiful and crystal as the belt looked before.
In the hands of the young man with a cat mask, the soft blade was like a living poisonous snake that roamed around at will. Wherever it went, the assassins fell down one after another.
The guards who were being suppressed and had to protect His Majesty's majesty's eyes lit up and the situation changed immediately.
Wu Yanmeng, who had thrown a handful of mushrooms, was stunned. She was thrown into the middle of the guards by Qingyin, but she stared blankly at the man with a cat mask who had just come out. She felt inexplicably familiar with him. She also felt that his elegant posture and tall figure, a rare beauty at first glance, made her fall in love with him at first sight.
I also forgot who the familiarity and security I felt came from.
Unlike Wu Yanmeng's ignorance, Emperor Chongzhao had some guesses about the young man in the distance.
The familiar cat mask that was mentioned by Li, a young man of about the same age, and the man who was being protected standing in the middle of the crowd seemed a little dazed.
