The Queen Mother didn't feel sleepy for a while, so she sat on the brocade stool next to Li Jingyuan's bed, thinking quietly about her thoughts. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

She was wondering if she had been wrong all these years, and she shouldn't have been so protective of her shortcomings and raised Li Jingyuan into such a character. In the past, I always thought that Prince Yide was gone, and the only people in this world who were related to him by blood were Funing and Wen Jin. Fu Ning and the horse were at odds again, and he couldn't help but hurt them a little more, but he didn't expect it to be wrong.

Li Jingyuan's words during the day also made the Queen Mother a little frightened. If King Yu and King An don't come to the rescue, the Queen Mother can understand a thing or two. The concubine Yuwang and the queen Kang Wang Chengen's mansion have been grudges for many years, and they have long been enemies who can't be dismantled. Because of the death of Concubine Shu, King An secretly hated the Queen Mother and the Queen, and even was lukewarm to Li Jingyuan.

But Zhang Maode even said that he was not a serious cousin, which made the Queen Mother feel cold. For decades, she has been the biggest backing of the Chengen Mansion in the harem, and she has always felt that after a hundred years, the Chengen Mansion will become the backer of Funing's mother and daughter. didn't expect that while he was still there, his nephew would say such a cold thing.

For a moment, the Queen Mother felt cold from the inside out, and she began to really worry about the safety of Funing's mother and daughter after she left. For now, the best way is to find a strong in-law for Wen Jin and connect this in-law with the Cheng'en Mansion. If Wen Jin becomes the link between the two families, then the position can also sit firmly. After three or five years, when Wen Jin gives birth to her eldest son, she will have a backer for the rest of her life.

But this in-law's ...... The Queen Mother frowned. The later ones, such as Xue Yuanhan and Pei Minzhong, were unwilling to marry Wen Jin at all. The Chengen Mansion also has no intention of being a relative at all. The Xiping Hou Mansion is willing, but this Xiping Hou, the Queen Mother really can't look down on it.

Thinking about it, the Queen Mother really made a difficulty. She decided to go to the Autumn Hunting Ceremony tomorrow to take a look, after all, many children of the family in Beijing will participate, so it is good to help Wen Jin look at each other.

Early the next morning, Concubine Xian called Xuanhui up and dressed her up in person. She prepared a pink gold-lined jacket for Xuanhui, with a red horse-faced skirt inlaid with auspicious clouds, with a high waist and a wide skirt, which lined Xuanhui's tall figure and swaying when she walked.

Concubine Xian was helping Xuanhui pack up her skirt, and Jingyun brought in two sets of heads. One set of mutton fat jade, one set of eight treasures inlaid with beads. Concubine Xian looked at these two sets of heads, and was a little hesitant: "The mutton fat jade looks warm, and it also makes your skin fair and shiny." This set of eight treasure beads is more delicate and dazzling to wear. What a struggle! ”

Xuanhui smiled: "Mother, what are you doing here?" Why are you dressing me up like this? Today's autumn hunt, we're just spectators, dressed up so solemnly, isn't it a joke? ”

Concubine Xian thought about it, and felt that today's things were indeed not ten out of ten, so Fang smiled and said, "What you said is, then wear this set of mutton fat jade!" ”

After such a toss, the mother and daughter finally dressed up and walked to the paddock hand in hand.

This paddock is in the northeast corner of Nanyuan, called Luming Garden, covering an area of about 30,000 acres, with forests, grasslands, and lakes. In order to facilitate daily management and hunting, the Shanglin Yuan official office divided the enclosure into 12 enclosures according to the terrain. Each hunt is carried out in a few of these enclosures, with guards at the edges, so that the beasts are concentrated in one place and easy to shoot.

Not far from the northeast gate of Nanyuan, you can see the largest building in Luming Garden, Dianjiangtai. This platform is about three feet high, very wide, and can accommodate more than 100 people to drink and feast here. At this moment, the palace maids and eunuchs came and went, and it was very lively. There is also a team of musicians in the corner of the stage, ready to play music in time to cheer up the emperor and queen.

When Xuanhui's mother and daughter first arrived, Emperor Yuanhe and the queen came with the queen mother in their arms, and everyone rushed forward to greet them.

While sitting down, the queen pretended to be concerned and asked, "Why didn't you see the eldest princess and the county lord of Wenjin coming?" Today's event, it's not much fun without them! Send someone to invite the concubine! ”

The Queen Mother said: "What please?" Wen Jin was sick yesterday, don't you know? ”

The queen looked surprised, and deliberately glanced at Concubine Xian twice before saying, "It's the concubine who is reckless!" Thinking that yesterday was just Xuanhui and Wen Jin joking, I didn't expect it to be so serious! ”

The Queen Mother said unhappily: "It's not about Xuanhui, don't mention it again!" If you think your mouth is empty, you can eat more! ”

The queen pursed her lips, she wanted to take advantage of the queen mother's face in public, but she didn't expect to bump into the queen mother's anger. Indignantly, she removed the lid from the teacup and drank it absentmindedly. King Kang whispered beside him: "Queen Mother, don't touch the Queen Mother's moldy head again." I heard that there was a very fierce disturbance in Changchun Ju yesterday, and the Queen Mother must not want to mention this matter. ”

The queen happily threw down the teacup and hugged her son, and said with a smile: "My son, you are still the only one who knows how sorry for the queen mother!" ”

Emperor Yuan He saw that the hour was almost up, so he asked Gonggong Gao: "Have the teams of men and horses been assembled?" ”

Gao Quande replied respectfully: "Back to the saint, King Yu, King An, Prince Chun, Marquis of Xiping, Prince of Chengen, Prince of Chengguo, and Prince Bo of Wujin each brought a team of men and horses, each team of thirty people, just wait for your order, you can start hunting." ”

Emperor Yuan He smiled and said: "I have more young talents in Dazhou, let them all come up, and I will take a good look." ”

Gao Quande got the order, so he went down to spread the word. In a moment, seven young men in military uniforms walked up to the stage.

Emperor Yuanhe's eyes swept over them one by one, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Don't think that this is just a game, hunting is a man's blood and guts!" Back then, my Great Zhou Taizu pacified the world with martial arts, and prospered the country with civil governance. Since you were born in the heavenly family and the noble family, you must remember the teachings of your ancestors, practice hard, and never stop every day, and you will shine on my great week in the future! ”

The seven knelt down in unison and shouted "yes".

Emperor Yuanhe was very happy, and then said: "I said earlier that I will have a great reward for today's winner. Originally, I wanted to reward the calligraphy, paintings, and weapons that I personally selected, but later someone suggested that since you want to be rewarded, it is better to reward what you think in your hearts. I think so, so listen up! The ancestral religion taught that whoever hunts should not kill the mother and the young. Whoever gets the most prey today can ask me for a reward! As long as it does not violate etiquette and morality, the laws of the country, I will allow it! ”

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. Only seven of them quickly turned their minds.

Pei Minzhong secretly praised Concubine Xian's good means to be able to ask for such a favor from the emperor. He clenched his fists tightly and swore to himself that he could not live up to Concubine Xian's intentions.
