Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Time of the Autumn Hunt
In the south direction of the royal capital, there is a mountain forest with layers of mountains, because of its geological abundance, there are rare birds and beasts from time to time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
A hundred years ago, it was incorporated into the royal garden.
When Qing Yao and his party arrived at the royal garden, there were already guards who had arrived in advance.
Everyone rode on their horses and galloped forward along the winding road for a while, and saw rows of hunting flags sounding in the wind, continuous curtains surrounded by mountains and forests, and soldiers standing guard in front of them in three steps.
Qing Yao followed behind Qi Guan Junyao and slowly slowed down the pace of the horse's advance.
"The official is here, please come inside. ”
When a waiter saw their traces, he hurried forward to greet them.
Qiguan Junyao turned over and dismounted, bowed his head slightly, turned around and stretched out his arms to Qing Yao on the horse.
"Come down ......"
Qing Yao noticed the surprised gazes of the people around her, smiled and stretched out her hands.
Under the light grasp of Qi Guan Junyao, she stood firmly on the ground.
"The prince of the official, please ......"
Although the waiter was surprised in his heart, his face was calm.
Being able to get to where he is today naturally knows what to say and what not to say.
The official Jun Yao waved his hand to the guards behind him, and then gently took Qing Yao behind him.
When the people around them saw this, they all lowered their eyes and remained silent.
"Will you live with me?"
Qi Guan Junyao brought the person into the tent that belonged to him, looked back and asked gently.
Because this is a royal garden after all, and the organizer of this autumn hunt is also His Royal Highness the Prince, when arranging accommodation, he basically only considers the people who are invited.
Qing Yao knew that she must not be able to stay with those guards, but after looking around the tent, she found that there was a lot of space, and there was no problem with her alone.
Just as she raised her eyes to look at the other party, and was about to nod her head in response, a figure suddenly rushed into the entrance of the tent.
"Sister Qingyao, you think you're here in advance. ”
Zuo Shiling'er originally planned to go to the Qiguan Mansion to pick up people, but he got the answer from his brother that the other party would go with Qiguan Junyao.
So as soon as she arrived, she hurriedly searched for her.
Qing Yao looked back at Zuo Shi Ling'er who was in a hurry, and smiled gently.
"Ling'er, what are you anxious about?"
Zuo Shi Ling'er did not answer this question, but excitedly invited: "Sister Qingyao, you can live with me these days." ”
Hearing this, Qing Yao glanced back at the official Jun Yao behind her, and then replied with a chuckle: "Okay, then I'm going to trouble you in the next few days." ”
"No, no, no. ”
Zuo Shiling'er waved her hand again and again, and her slightly squinted eyes fully expressed her joyful mood.
At this moment, Zuo Shi Ruihao also walked in slowly.
"Brother Jun Yaoxian, I'm sorry to disturb you. ”
"Brother Rui Hao, you're welcome. ”
Qi Guanjun Yao replied and walked over slowly.
When several people gathered and were about to exchange their itinerary for the next few days, there was a sudden commotion outside.
Qing Yao heard the movement outside the tent and raised her eyes suspiciously.
Seeing her like this, Qi Guanjun Yao slowly came to her side. "It should be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they have arrived, let's go out and have a look. ”
"Oh......"
Qing Yao replied, and was about to go outside, but was suddenly gently held by the person beside her.
She looked at the other party suspiciously, met his smiling eyes, and slowly followed.
Zuo Shi Ling'er was about to reach out to hold Qing Yao, but she was preempted by Qi Guan Junyao, she pouted, and had to chase her out quickly.
Zuo Shi Ruihao was very surprised when he saw Qi Guan Junyao's movements, but after thinking about it with his eyes down, he hooked the corners of his mouth slightly.
The few people here thought about their own affairs and slowly walked out of the tent.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"
"Everyone, please ......"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, a group of people began to walk towards the gathering place.
This is the second time Qing Yao has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the first time is when she chose a concubine in the palace last time. However, she didn't pay much attention to His Royal Highness the Prince, but instead did she peek at the official Jun Yao beside her.
Among the people present, her status can be said to be the lowest, and she doesn't dare to be too public.
Qi Guan Junyao noticed her movements and shook her wrist soothingly.
Seeing this, Qing Yao smiled slightly and slowly followed.
Everyone present is familiar with each other, so naturally there is no need to be too restrained when getting along.
After a few words of conversation, the topic gradually opened.
Qing Yao listened silently to the conversation of these people for a while, and was pulled aside by Zuo Shi Ling'er.
"Sister Qingyao, let's go and sit. ”
"Good. ”
Qing Yao looked at the few people who were talking, smiled and nodded to Zuo Shi Ling'er.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you came early. ”
While the group was chatting happily, a light laugh interrupted the conversation.
The moment Qing Yao saw the two of them, she immediately recognized who the person was.
"Meet the ...... of the Three Princes"
She bowed down with the guards around her.
Not used for the gentleness of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the third prince has a fierce aura and his eyes are very compelling.
The eyes of the third prince did not look at the guards around him, and walked straight to the location of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really in a good mood, I don't know what we are going to hunt?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince slowly stood up, looked at the uninvited imperial brother, and replied lightly: "Don't worry, there are still some people who haven't come." ”
"Oh......" Hearing this, the third prince raised his eyebrows lightly, and then replied with a chuckle: "In this case, then I will wait a little longer." ”
"Feel free to ......"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince replied and withdrew his gaze.
Today's court can be clearly divided into two factions. One faction is the princelings, which are the top families with the Qiguan family as an example, while the other faction is the Three Princes' Party, which is mostly second-class families and commoners.
Since ancient times, there have been irreconcilable contradictions between nobles and commoners, which is also the reason why the three princes can pull up their own forces when the crown prince has been decided.
Qing Yao didn't know the twists and turns, she only felt that the third prince didn't seem to be good, and the whole person revealed a faint dangerous aura.
"Alright, sit down. ”
When the third prince slowly left, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince beckoned to everyone.
The others listened to His Royal Highness the Prince's words, bowed slightly, and returned to their seats.
Qing Yao saw that she didn't have anything to do, so she and Zuo Shi Ling'er continued to talk in a whisper.
Although her eyes fell on Qi Guan Junyao from time to time and met him in mid-air, it did not affect her good mood at all.
As time passed, more and more invitees arrived, and the whole station began to be lively.
