Lu Lingzhi asked his brother to follow him closely, fearing that he would accidentally get lost.
He looked up at Mo Rongzhan's tall and straight figure in front of him with some doubts in his heart. Last night, he found that the emperor's nose was a little strange. It seemed to be a little red. When he looked at it this morning, he found that it was a little swollen.
What happened to the emperor last night? Lu Lingzhi quietly asked his personal eunuch, Fude. Unfortunately, Fude's mouth was too tight and he refused to reveal a word.
Lu Lingzhi sighed in his heart. He was not worried about anything, but he was afraid that the emperor would see Yao Yao. If he went home these two days, he would not let Yao Yao come to the manor.
In fact, he may have thought too much. Mo Rongzhan didn't know what Ye Zhen looked like at all. With how much he hated the Ye family, even if others said that Yao Yao looked like Ye Zhen, he probably wouldn't care.
"Eldest brother, is that … the emperor?" After walking for a while, Lu Xiangzhi found that the guards around him seemed to be unusual. He wondered if there was a big man here. Looking at the respectful appearance of his eldest brother and Tang brother to the man in front of him, he guessed the identity of the other party.
Lu Lingzhi nodded faintly and whispered to him, "Since the emperor doesn't want to reveal his identity, you can just pretend that you don't know."
"Oh!" Lu Xiangzhi was a little excited. He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to meet the emperor.
Along the way, Mo Rongzhan seemed a little silent. Lu Lingzhi clearly felt that the master was in a bad mood. Before last night, he was in a good mood.
Mo Rongzhan was a little gloomy. After entering the hunting ground, he asked everyone to hunt. He would reward the one who hunted the most.
Lu Lingzhi smiled and said to his brother, "Let's go. Let's go all out today."
"If Third Sister comes, she will definitely like it here." Lu Xiangzhi still thought of his sister.
"It's fine if she doesn't come." Lu Xiangzhi sighed in a low voice, "Let's go!"
When the sun was about to set, the hunters returned to the camp. Mo Rongzhan hunted a black bear and the attendants cheered loudly.
Mo Rongzhan's handsome and indifferent face finally showed a smile.
"Make a fire, we will barbecue tonight!" Mo Rongzhan said with a smile.
Although Lu Xiangzhi wanted to keep the roasted meat, after all, it was a rare opportunity to get close to the Emperor. Although he could only watch from afar, he still had to give a rabbit and a fawn to his sister.
"Little Four, what are you thinking about?" Tang Zhen asked with a smile as his shoulder was suddenly patted.
"Big Brother Tang." Lu Xiangzhi laughed. "I promised my sister that I would give her a rabbit. Also, this is a deer cub that I just caught in the forest. She should like it."
Tang Zhen's eyes lit up. "Well, I'll go back with you and bring the things to Third Sister before coming back."
Lu Xiangzhi nodded in surprise. "Can I?"
"Wait, I'll go back to the emperor." Tang Zhen said and turned to go to the tent where Mo Rongzhan was resting.
Mo Rongzhan was changing clothes. He was stained with the blood of the black bear he had just killed. When he heard Tang Zhen's request, he was silent for a moment before nodding. "Go ahead, don't delay the time."
Tang Zhen knew that the emperor didn't want to delay drinking with the big guys for a while. He smiled and went out with Lu Xiangzhi to the hot spring at the foot of the mountain.
When Lu Lingzhi found that the two of them were gone, they were nowhere to be found.
It was not far from the hunting ground to the hot spring villa. It only took half an hour to ride a horse. Lu Xiangzhi dismounted at the second gate, and two servants came to lead their horses.
Vaguely, he seemed to hear the sound of music. Lu Xiangzhi was puzzled and found a servant to ask, "Where are Master and Madam?"
"Fourth Young Master, Third Master and Third Madam are barbecuing meat in the garden." The servant replied.
Barbecued meat? Lu Xiangzhi looked at Tang Zhen next to him in confusion. "Big Brother Tang, why don't you come with me to have a look?"
Tang Zhen said, "Let's go. I'll give Third Master Lu a greeting."
Lu Xiangzhi was silent in his heart. You are Marquis Jingning, and his father is a young Hanlin. In the end, who is going to greet who?
Before they reached the garden, they heard the sound of drums and zither. Lu Xiangzhi thought that no one in his family seemed to know how to play the zither. His father knew, but he had basically never heard him play it.
The two quickened their pace. When they reached the gate of the garden, they couldn't help but slow down.
On the grass in the garden, there was a bonfire burning in the middle. Lu Shiming was roasting lamb next to it. Pei Shi was tapping the wine bowl with chopsticks. The sound of the zither was played by Mister Dan. As for the sound of the drums …
Lu Xiangzhi and Tang Zhen's eyes fell on the girl dancing in the middle. She was wearing a long red dress and had a small drum tied to her waist. She danced briskly with the sound of the zither. She had a bright and pretty smile on her face. When the sound of the zither was soft and slow, she moved slowly like a light cloud. Her hands touched the surface of the drum gently. The sound of the zither was passionate. She spun like a whirlwind, her hands, eyes, and movements were responding to the sound of the zither and the drum.
Her red dress fluttered in the wind. The pearl tassel rotated, the stars swayed, the vines shook, and the dragons and snakes moved.
Tang Zhen's heartbeat accelerated. His eyes shone as he looked at the beautiful girl. He only felt that she was a fairy who accidentally fell into the mortal world. Even his breathing became cautious, for fear that he would disturb her and scare her away from the mortal world.
Lu Xiangzhi didn't have such thoughts. He looked at her for a while and immediately applauded loudly.
The sound of the zither did not stop because of Lu Xiangzhi. Ye Zhen also continued to dance. She smiled brightly at Lu Xiangzhi, and the sound of the drum became playful and brisk.
When Lu Shiming saw Tang Zhen, he hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Tang Zhen turned his eyes from Ye Zhen with difficulty and returned Lu Shiming's salute. "Lord Lu, don't be polite. This marquis has disturbed you."
Only then did Ye Zhen realize that there was Tang Zhen next to Lu Xiangzhi. She had to stop. When the little maid next to her saw her stop, she immediately carried the pearl shoes and came over to put them on for her.
Tang Zhen unconsciously glanced at Ye Zhen from the corner of his eye. When he saw Ye Zhen's white jade feet, his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
He never knew … that he would lose his composure in front of a little girl.
Lu Shiming already knew that Lu Xiangzhi was going to the hunting ground. He had also guessed who was there now. He thought that his son would not come back tonight.
"Yao Yao, look!" Lu Xiangzhi handed the newborn deer in his arms to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen's eyes brightened. "It's so cute. Where did you find it?"
"In the woods. It may have been separated from its parents, so I brought it back for you to raise." Lu Xiangzhi said with a smile.
