Chapter 572
"Your Majesty, you are back!"

Supported by a group of people, the queen walked towards the direction of their return, with a hint of worry on her face.

"Well, I'm back." Qi Heng smiled lightly, his handsome and domineering face was full of wildness that looked down on the world.

At this moment in him, the publicity and restraint of the superior, the arrogance and arrogance of the superior are undoubtedly evident.

Not to mention the emperor, even the footsteps of the few people walking behind him were vigorous, and the whole person looked extraordinarily lively.

"Your Majesty's trip has been rewarding?" The Queen asked involuntarily as she looked at the faces of several people.

"Well, I haven't come out for a long time. I didn't expect to find the feeling I had back then after I got on the horse. I'm so happy!"

"It's a pity that I'm getting older, my energy is not as good as before, and I'm so tired after I haven't been out for a long time. People, you can't accept your old age!"

"Your Majesty, what you said is not authentic. During the hunting just now, I don't know who was the first to shoot the prey with the same heroic appearance as before." King Heshun behind him pretended to complain.

"Haha! You guys are not bad, and you dared to snatch prey from me just now."

"Look at what you said, Your Majesty, if the old ministers don't do anything, I'm afraid they will be at the bottom. If this word gets out, where will the old minister's face be put?"

"Exaggerated words!" Qi Heng snorted deliberately.

"Hehe, Your Majesty! We just agreed that the deer shot will be shared with the old minister. The old minister will be thinking about it."

"You, the more you live, the more you become greedy for food and drink. I know, I haven't forgotten."

"The old minister can rest assured."

After listening to the words of His Majesty and King Heshun, the Queen couldn't help showing a faint smile.

His Majesty being able to talk to King Heshun and the others in this way means that he is in a good mood for this hunting and the harvest is also good.

"Your Majesty, why didn't the princes come back with you?" After the emperor sat back to his seat, the queen couldn't help asking.

"The prince and the others are still hunting in the hunting ground. They said they want to compete with the second prince of Suzaku Kingdom and come back later. After all, they are young people, energetic, let them go."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please wipe off your sweat."

Hearing what the emperor said, the queen nodded meekly, reached out to take the handkerchief from the hand of the maid beside her and handed it to Qi Heng.

"Ah."

"..."

Listening to all the movements over there, Bai Jinli, a bystander, came to the conclusion that the emperor and Heshun Prince Mu went hunting together, and the emperor was the first to shoot the prey.

The prey was a deer, and then they continued to gallop in the hunting ground on horseback, hunting many animals and returning.

In the end, it was because they were old and their physical strength was not as good as the prince and other young people, so they came back early.

Among the few people who came back, His Majesty hunted the most prey, followed by King Heshun and Prince Mu.

The remaining people are still in the hunting grounds, and the hunting competition is not over yet.

After listening to all kinds of flattering voices, Bai Jinli felt bored.

She thought that hunting would be very interesting, and it looked like fun, but when she came here, she just sat here and stared at the people next to her.

And he didn't see Lin Chenyuan the whole time, and he didn't know where he, who was in charge of the security of the hunting ground, was at the moment.

If I had known this was the case, she wouldn't come here without saying anything. Isn't it good to be lying at home eating and basking in the sun?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a few dancers walking up with swords at the Queen's order and began to perform.

To be honest, these people dance really well.

Each of them covered their faces with veils, and their bodies were graceful and graceful, and they looked good when they danced swords.

After the sword dance was over, another court musician came up to play.

The atmosphere of the whole venue was not awkward, and there was even a sense of déjà vu of watching an open-air song and dance performance by a certain performing group.

Along with the performance, palace maids and eunuchs filed out and brought roasted meat to the people present.

The barbecue meat that each courtier received was not much, only a big piece of fist, but these people still had to kowtow to His Majesty very gratefully to express their gratitude.

After His Majesty allowed everyone to level up, everyone got up and began to share the barbecue.

Bai Jinli lost interest after taking a bite.

It's not that she dislikes it, it's that the taste of the barbecue is too perfunctory, it is obvious that the whole prey is roasted on the fire, and then some fine salt is sprinkled on it, other than that, there is nothing else, it is not delicious at all.

Forget it, she'd better continue eating her snacks, nibbling her melon seeds and watching the show.

After a performance, Feng Qinghuang suddenly stood up, saluted His Majesty respectfully and said so.

"Your Majesty, I heard that there is a performance in the Great Qi State called Shadow Puppetry. It is very interesting. I wonder if Qinghuang will have a chance to see it?"

"Oh? Shadow puppet? Queen, do you know this thing?" Qi Heng curiously asked the queen beside him.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if this shadow puppet is the Xinhan Wanyao that has recently been circulated outside the palace?"

After the queen replied, she couldn't help looking at the people sitting below and asked, "Do you know shadow puppets?"

"Shadow puppetry? What is that? I don't know?"

"I've heard rumors from people outside that it's very interesting, but I haven't seen it before, so I don't know how it is?"

"The news about the Princess of the Suzaku Kingdom is really well-informed. We don't know about this."

"..."

Those discussions fell into Bai Jinli's ears, she couldn't help raising her eyes to look at Feng Qinghuang, her eyes darkened slightly.

It has only been a few days since the appearance of the shadow puppets. Those people only performed once in the alley not far from their house, and practiced in fixed places at other times.

As the princess of Suzaku Kingdom and a visitor of Daqi Kingdom, Feng Qinghuang should be in the palace all the time these days.

She was sure that the news about the shadow puppets had not spread to the palace, and she didn't know how Feng Qinghuang learned about it.

Unless she or her people had seen a shadow puppet show before entering the palace, they would be so concerned about it.

Even so, there is no need to mention it on this occasion, right?I don't understand.

"Where did the princess get the news about the shadow puppets?" Qi Heng asked with a low cough after hearing those discussions.

"Returning to Your Majesty, when going from the post house to the palace, Qinghuang overheard someone mentioning that the Journey to the West performed with the shadow puppet was very beautiful.

Qinghuang comes from Suzaku Kingdom, and I, Suzaku Kingdom, are not good at these things. At first hearing, I thought this thing was very novel, so Qinghuang wanted to see it. If there is any offense, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. "

"I see. Since the princess was curious, I sent someone to the capital to inquire about it, and invited the person who performed the shadow puppet to let the princess learn more." Qi Heng said.

"Qing Huang thanked His Majesty."

"Come on, hurry up to the capital to investigate this matter." After Qi Heng ordered, someone immediately nodded and prepared to leave.

It was at this time that Zhao Luomu's figure suddenly appeared and knelt down in front of His Majesty.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Cao Min is Zhao Yanhong's son Zhao Lumu, and I have something to report."

"Oh? You are Zhao Luomu? What's the matter?" Qi Heng looked at Zhao Luomu curiously.

There is a dude in the Zhao family, Zhao Luomu. This news is known to everyone in the capital, even His Majesty is no exception.

When he heard Zhao Luomu appear at first, Qi Heng was really taken aback for a moment.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the shadow puppet that the princess mentioned just now is a plaything that Cao Min and his friends researched together. Since Your Majesty asked, Cao Min dare not hide it. I implore His Majesty to allow Cao Min to go back to the capital and let the people who performed the shadow play bring."

"Oh? You actually created this shadow puppet? It makes me very curious. I'm sure, let's go."

"Yes." Zhao Luomu nodded and stepped back.

Seeing that Zhao Luomu, a playboy on weekdays, actually slapped his face in front of His Majesty at this moment, he successfully aroused His Majesty's curiosity, and many young talents present all cast him scrutinizing or jealous eyes.

If the shadow puppet is really good and can be loved by His Majesty and the princess, then Zhao Luomu will probably be praised by His Majesty, right?
Thinking of this possibility, all the young people here have different moods.

Zhang Zeyang, who was sitting far away from His Majesty, narrowed his eyes involuntarily, and a hint of calculation flashed quickly in his eyes.

Just him?Zhao Luomu still wants to stand up?

Oh, impossible.

He had been laying out the game for so long, just waiting for an opportunity to kill Zhao Luomu with one blow.

Now that Zhao Luomu is so impatient, why doesn't he take this opportunity to completely trample the Zhao family and the Liu family into the dirt in front of His Majesty.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zeyang quietly backed out with a cool smile on his lips.

After Zhao Luomu left, the performance also temporarily came to an end.

According to the hunting rules of previous years, His Majesty waited for the members of the royal family to go hunting for a circle, and after they returned on time, the winner was determined, and after receiving the reward from His Majesty, they took a break.

Then there are other young courtiers or courtiers who come to the hunting ground in groups of five, and they will conduct hunting competitions in groups on time.

After their competition was over, the last round was for all the women who came to surround the hunting ground.

Any woman who is willing to go to the hunting ground can try to hunt, and once the prey is caught, there will be rewards.

But judging from previous years' experience, by the time of the final round, there were not many women participating in the hunting competition.

And the more dangerous prey were almost killed by the first two rounds.

The women who participated in the hunting just walked around the hunting grounds, and it was impossible to go deep into the dangerous and unknown depths of the hunting grounds.

This year, because of the visit of the envoys from the Suzaku Kingdom, they were also included in the hunting competition. Compared with the previous competition, there were some minor changes.

When Bai Jinli was thinking about what other good programs to watch next, he heard a voice not far away.

"Your Majesty, empress, the prince and the others are back!"

"Well, their timing is good, but they don't know who will be the best performer in this hunting." Qi Heng muttered expectantly.

"Your Majesty will know after a while." The Queen chuckled.

"Ah."

While the discussions and betting around were still going on, I saw several tall and handsome men with different styles in armor walking forward.
