Chapter 373: The Heart and the Courage (2)
Seeing that Feihong ate two pieces and wanted to eat more, Salia hurriedly stopped her and said, "This venison is hot in the sun. Your body is not easy to eat too much, and you may not be able to digest it. Besides, the wine is hot in the mouth, but it is If it is cold and not warm, it will hurt the stomach after all."

After hearing this, Fei Hong had to put down her chopsticks, but fortunately, someone was singing around the campfire.Several generals sang in unison, the voice was loud and clear, and the melody was sonorous. It should be a song often sung when marching and fighting.

The rhythm is simple, but it can be exciting.Many military generals present gradually began to sing along, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

Most of the men present showed their informal nature after a few glasses of wine.Someone began to shout, "There is wine, meat and songs, but there are no good dances, what a pity!"

The second prince came out quickly when he heard this, saluted the emperor and said: "I have learned a new set of meteor chasing the moon sword, and I dance like a dance. Please allow my son to show my ugliness. If I can make my father happy, I will be my son." Credit goes to that."

"Sure!" The emperor readily agreed, but then said: "This sword dance should be accompanied by the sound of the zither, but it's not as good as in the palace, so I'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy it to the fullest."

Upon hearing this, nobleman Yu replied with a smile: "During dinner, the concubine seemed to hear the sound of the qin, and someone should be playing the qin."

Xia Pei heard it clearly, gritted her teeth and stood up.She gracefully walked to the middle and knelt down, and boldly replied: "My Majesty, Your Majesty, I have always loved Qin since I was a child, and I brought it with me when I came to the hunting ground this time. I couldn't help but play it during dinner. I didn't expect to disturb the empress, please forgive me, the emperor and empress!"

"You are..." Seeing that the kneeling child was a half-grown child, the emperor couldn't think of whose family it was.

After hearing this, she hurriedly replied: "The father of this servant is Tian Shoujing."

"Oh, so it's Tian Shoujing, the governor of Hubei." The emperor nodded slightly, and looked at her again, "Tian Aiqing is a military commander. I didn't expect his daughter to like playing the piano. I will listen to it tonight. Zimu wants to dance sword , you can match a song."

"Slave obeys the order!" She was so happy that she had already been listening to her and ran to her tent to get the piano.

After a while, everything was ready.Xia Pei sat on the side playing the piano, while Zi Mu raised his sword and walked to the center.

He said to Xia Pei: "You just do whatever you want, I will dance to your tune."

Xia Peizheng didn't know what kind of piece to play, so she started to play after hearing him say this, and chose a soothing and melodious piece.

Zimu danced his sword according to the rhythm, and it was a bit interesting to see it strictly.The emperor smiled and said to the nobleman when he saw it: "Although their children's performances are not exciting enough, they are more cute than others."

"The second prince's swordsmanship dances vigorously, and the concubine looks very brilliant. Miss Tian is not very old, but she plays this piano pretty well." Yu Guiren replied with a smile.

"It's okay to appreciate it as a dance, but if it is really used in fighting, it will be full of loopholes." Although the emperor said so, he was somewhat comforted in his heart.Zimu is only nine years old, it is not easy to practice this set of sword skills so proficiently.

During the day, the two brothers performed well, and each of them shot a lot of prey.Especially Zixu, who shot his arrows without fail, met a huge and ferocious wild boar, and could calmly command everyone to hunt.Although Zimu is not as brave as his brother Huang, he is not far behind.

The emperor was very pleased to see the performance of the two sons, and felt that there would be successors to the celestial dynasty.Hunting every spring is a rule set by the ancestors. It is not for fun, but mainly to train the formation of the Imperial Forest Army.The more peaceful and prosperous the world, the more we cannot neglect the training of the army, especially the imperial forest army guarding the capital, which has a heavy burden and does not participate in serious training all year round. Such a large-scale hunting is a training camp.

As soon as Zimu's sword was withdrawn, the sound of Xia Pei's piano also gradually stopped.Some people began to applaud and say things like the second prince's bravery. The emperor was very happy and rewarded him with some gadgets.Naturally, Xia Pei's share is also indispensable, she is extremely proud of being rewarded by the emperor.

Back in her seat, she talked to Zhen Rong with a smile all over her face, but Zhen Rong's expression became a little alienated.This Zhenrong's father is the Minister of the Ling Guards, who leads about half of the Imperial Forest Army to protect the safety of the palace. He is an important minister who holds real power.For this hunting, the emperor left him to sit in Kyoto.

Zhenrong's grandfather, the empress's father, currently holds the post of Minister of Rites.He was an honest and capable official, and the first emperor praised him a lot when he was in power, and he had a high prestige in the court.

Ding Xingwang of the Liao family has many direct and collateral lines who are officials in the court, like a tangled underground root system, which pulls the whole body with every movement.Who in the entire Chinese dynasty did not know that the Liao family was the first family, so they must not be offended.Fortunately, the patriarch of the Liao family, who is the empress's father, is very strict with the members of the family, and he will never condone and raise rape when he finds that there are bullies who violate the law and discipline.So over the years, Liao's reputation is justified.

This is the kind of family that came out with a queen empress who was under one person and above ten thousand people, and she glorified the whole family's lintel.Therefore, their family attaches great importance to girls and makes great efforts to cultivate them.Especially Zhenrong, she is the queen's niece, and she is embraced by her family like a noble aunt.

Over time, she has developed a character of being aloof and innocent.In her opinion, sooner or later she will be as honorable as her aunt, and will be worshiped by all women in the world.Therefore, she naturally doesn't take people like Xia Pei seriously.But she happens to enjoy Xia Pei's flattery, so she gets closer to Xia Pei.

Seeing that the emperor rewarded Xia Pei now, she naturally felt uncomfortable, so she didn't like to pay any attention to Xia Pei.

It was hard for Xia Pei to curry favor with her, and she didn't want to be alienated like this, so she said with a smile: "I heard about my sister's name when I arrived in Kyoto, and everyone said that my sister is the most talented woman in Kyoto. Just now I played the piano in front of my sister. Big knife. When my sister is free, you must give me some advice. With my sister’s advice, my piano skills will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. The biggest gain I have gained from coming to the hunting ground this time is getting to know my sister.”

When Zhenrong heard that there was a smile on her face, she continued to flatter when she saw this, which upset Feihong who was on the side.

The emperor sat for a while, and left the table with the nobleman.When everyone saw the emperor leaving, they stopped restraining themselves.Most of the generals present were military generals, and after a few glasses of wine, the topic became wanton and spicy.Although the four of Salia were still half-grown children, they were girls after all, so they also withdrew.

When Yang Zhenyu saw Fei Hong leaving, he was anxious, but because of Fei Hong's identity, he didn't dare to act rashly.He glanced at Yi Jun who was sitting next to the eldest prince, and his heart trembled.I couldn't help but rejoice that I didn't think badly about Fei Hong just now, otherwise Yi Jun would be the first to kill him!
However, after hearing Fei Hong's praise for him, he felt that Fei Hong had a good impression of him.If you find an opportunity to get closer, maybe something good will happen.
