The autumn wind is blowing and the coolness is strong, but at this time of the year, no matter how cold the weather is, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of the royal palace nobles and dignitaries to go hunting in the paddocks of Nanshan Mountain.

Because everyone knows that hunting is actually the best time to cling to power, make friends with powerful people, and find a desirable spouse for your children.

Therefore, every year during the autumn hunt, there must be a large number of casual teams. Those courtiers are eager to bring all the concubines born to the maid of the same family, so as not to protect the girl who is usually unpopular, and is lucky enough to call a certain prince.

Maybe Prince Beizi has taken a liking to it!

There have been such lucky people over the years. Even if they enter the Prince's Mansion or the Prince's Mansion, they may not be ranked among the oldest.

But if it flies on a branch, it won't turn into a phoenix, but it will still be a sparrow, which is better than a free-roaming chicken.

And at home, we can also use the light of this sparrow to get more help in the officialdom.

If the Bodhisattva manifests his spirit and has great luck, the daughters of the family can climb up to the position of the prince's son Beizi and be attached to the position of concubine or concubine. It is really a matter of the ancestors' good fortune and virtue in the previous life.

The third oldest Hongwen's concubine, Yuanshi, was favored by Hongwen during the autumn hunt.

Although Hong Wen is mediocre and incompetent, for a seventh-grade sesame official who may not meet Long Yan a few times, it is a great honor for his daughter to enter the prince's palace and become a concubine.

Things that I will be grateful for in my next life even when I eat fast and chant Buddha’s name

The Yuan family is considered to be the most prestigious concubine married in the Qiuye marriage.

Just because of the huge difference in status between her and Xuan Wang Hongwen, it was like a carp leaped over the dragon's gate, transforming from a concubine of a seventh-grade sesame official family into the respected concubine of Xuan.

Especially after she gave birth to Huanjing Beizi, she became even more favored.

It was a pity that Huanjing was weak and had been taking medicine since he was born, so he barely reached the age of seven.

The imperial doctor said that Huanjing could not live to be ten years old. Because of this, Hongwen loved Huanjing even more and wanted to give Huanjing more fatherly love and care in his short life of ten years. He went to Yuan's House

There are many more times.

As for Hongwen's eldest son, Huanqiang, the eldest son of the concubine Zhuge, Hongwen gave a lot of hope and had strict requirements. In order to cultivate Huanqiang's independent personality, Chang Chang asked his servants to take Huanqiang to the school.

Through experience, father and son rarely meet each other.

But in private, Hongwen did a lot of things for Huanqiang. For example, the prince often sent small gifts, saying that Huanqiang missed the prince's younger brother and he sent them.

Their brothers had few offspring, only the third child had two sons, so naturally there were no such little tricks like Hongwen's, and the prince and brother Huanqiang and Huanjing were also very close.

During this hunt, the prince also invited brothers Huanqiang and Huanjing to ride in a horse-drawn carriage. In the carriage, there was constant laughter and laughter.

The emperor doesn't care today. He can't tolerate the prince being so unruly.

The prince needs to be strict, unsmiling, and restrained.

But today, he rarely indulged the prince for once.

The convoy arrived at the Nanshan Palace and they arranged to stay. It was already late the first day and they did nothing. In the evening, the emperor held a banquet for the ministers in an open space in the paddock.

The bonfire was brilliant, people were drinking and drinking, and there was harmony and joy in the table. The children were playing around, and the adults were talking about the exciting hunting competition tomorrow.

The monarch and his ministers were not formal, and the female relatives they brought were allowed to sit at the same table. Naturally, they were indispensable. There was a lot of affection between the young men and women at the table, and they looked at each other.

The adults just chatted and pretended not to notice.

Anyway, whether a man falls in love with a woman or a woman falls in love with a man, the parents will have to order the matchmaker to decide what they like now. If the person they like now is not the right one for their parents, then it will be fine if they don’t agree to it.

I won’t spoil the kids’ fun now.

If the children like it now, and the adults are also satisfied with it, then they can happily agree to it, and things will fall into place.

In a world where adults care for themselves, children have their own world, and young men and women who are full of love also have their own little world.

"Hey, it's just a pity that the fourth and fifth children didn't come."

Sitting next to the emperor is Zi Zi Hongwen.

The emperor raised a toast: "The fourth brother is ill, and the fifth daughter-in-law can't leave. Don't let them ruin our brother's happiness. Third brother, come and have a drink."

The emperor's face was rosy and he seemed to be in great spirits.

While Hong Wen was busy, he held the cup with both hands and brought it forward. He lowered himself a little distance from the emperor's quilt, clinked the cup with flattery, and raised his head to drink.

In fact, it is really a good thing for him that the fourth and fifth children are not coming.

During the hunting in previous years, the emperor's brother only focused on getting close to the fourth and fifth brothers, and rarely looked at his mediocre brother. Now that the fourth and fifth brothers were not around, the emperor's brother paid much more attention to him.

He didn't ask much, he just asked the emperor to still take him into consideration.

"Brother Imperial, look at the children, they are having so much fun. It reminds me of many years ago, when we brothers followed our father out for autumn hunting. It was the same."

Hongwen's eyes were full of memories. Thinking of his childhood, he couldn't help but sigh: "We were a family of children at that time. We had three or four brothers and quite a few sisters. The second child was still there, at the emperor's uncle's house.

They are also prosperous and have a lot of brothers and sisters. Look at the prince and the others, they are really lonely with just these few playmates."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at the emperor belatedly: "Brother Emperor, you said when we were young..."

The voice stopped suddenly, because he saw a coldness in the emperor's eyes, and instantly realized that he had talked too much.

The second child is a taboo and cannot be mentioned. He has seen with his own eyes how the second child is gone, right?

Moreover, what makes the emperor feel most uncomfortable now is probably that among the many women in the harem, only the queen has given birth to a pair of children for her, and there are no other children.

He just spoke too hastily and forgot to think twice before speaking.

This short sentence poked two taboos of the emperor's brother. Now, he remained silent, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, not daring to say a word. The hand holding the wine glass was trembling slightly.

"Third brother, why don't you adopt your family Huanqiang to the fourth child?"

"Emperor, imperial brother..."

Hongwen panicked. Misfortune comes from the mouth. Misfortune comes from the mouth. The Zhuge family and the Yuan family gave him countless warnings and instructions, telling him to keep his mouth shut and not to open his mouth when he got interested.

"Haha, I'm just kidding you!"

Although the aloof emperor spoke with a hint of smile, Hongwen clearly felt a thorn in his back.

The emperor is not joking, this is a warning to him.

Warn him not to make trouble with his child, otherwise, he will give his child to Hongzhi who has no heirs.

A cold sweat ran down his spine, but he was still conscious. After all, the emperor cared about brotherhood and was just warning him.

He forced a smile of agreement: "Hehehe, hehe, I know that Brother Huang, you are teasing me. Even if I want to adopt the fourth child, my name is Huanqiang. I am not qualified. Huanqiang followed me, and he is stupid.

He is very clumsy and always speaks without thinking. The fourth child is in poor health and he has been adopted. Don’t make him angry."

He was in a panic to plead guilty and wanted the emperor to give up his idea completely.

That's why I deliberately said that I was stupid and talked nonsense.

"Look at you, I told you, I'm just kidding, you don't need to abuse your child like this. The fourth child is not in good health, and it is difficult to have children. We brothers all know this privately. To be honest, he can't

If you have no children, you will not have anyone to die with."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

He agreed, feeling nervous all the time. Was the emperor planning to give Huanjing's child to the fourth child?

That was his cherished treasure. It only lasted a few years, so how could he let it go?

But I heard the emperor say: "I wonder if the fifth and fourth children have such a good relationship. If they give birth to a son, would they be willing to adopt him to the fourth child?"

Hongwen felt relieved, but felt a little thumped again.

He was stupid, but he knew very well that the emperor's brother seemed to have a different attitude towards Lao Wu.

Maple City secretly promoted Lao Wu's father-in-law and became a general candidate due to his outstanding military achievements.

Previously, singing and dancing geishas were sent to Lao Wu's house every day, creating a ridiculous scene of Lao Wu having fun.

On the day when the imperial edict was issued, he said in front of the emperor, "The prince is now with Lao Wu." The emperor actually sent Eunuch Mo to wait at the gate of the East Palace with a worried look on his face.

Hongwen was stupid, a little stupid, but not stupid. The emperor's behavior was clearly unkind to Lao Wu.

They are all brothers, how could he make up his mind for Lao Wu, but he was stupid and didn't know how to answer. She was hesitating, but fortunately someone came to her rescue: "Dad, my brother has a stomachache, why don't you go and see what's wrong?"

Huanqiang, Huanqiang, you came at the right time.

Hongwen looked at the emperor with an apologetic expression: "Brother Emperor, my little son is not in good health. I really shouldn't have brought him to the mountain. I'll first..."

"No need to be polite. The child has a stomachache. You should go quickly. Don't dare to neglect."

"Yes!" Hong Wen left with nervous eyes and his steps were hurried and fast. Who would have known that firstly, he was worried about Huanjing, and secondly, he was afraid to avoid the emperor's questions.

He left almost as if he was fleeing. The emperor looked at his back, suppressed the careless expression on his face, raised his wine glass, and under the cover of the huge ceramic bowl, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

*

Huanjing was in poor health. Although his mother Yuanshi prepared a lot of medicinal materials for him when he went up the mountain, it was cold when he went up the mountain. Huanjing's child was so happy playing with the prince that he was sweating and cold.

In the house, I felt such abdominal pain that I curled up at the end of the bed.

The banquet in front of them was still going on, with endless laughter and laughter. Hongwen in the room looked at Huanjing's painful appearance and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"My child, please bear with me. Please bear with me. Doctor, what should I do about Huanjing?"

"Your Majesty, Beizi is already weak. He played too much and was sweating and blowing the wind. The sudden heat and cold caused him to feel so unwell. Wei Chen prescribed medicine, fried it and asked the palace maid to feed Beizi and take it.

Relieve some pain."

Even though he said this, Hongwen still felt heartbroken.
