Chapter 40: Spring Hunting

Liqing said she wanted to hang out? This can't be nonsense, the concubines who have entered the palace have to abide by the rules of the palace, how can they think about those things and mess up the rules. Liqing's question immediately asked Qin Shujiu to take his head, and then got up and bowed to Qin Shujiu and said, "The concubine didn't think about it, she just felt it. ”

"Don't keep those old things in front of me, and tell the truth what you think in your heart." After replying to this and looking at Qin Shujiu who was bowing, Liqing helped her to get up and then said: "And this knee has just been seen, don't get up and kneel at every turn, if you accidentally hurt your foot, see how you travel with me." ”

The strange words made Qin Shujiu a little incomprehensible, and immediately asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Spring hunting is coming, what? Don't you want to go to the hunting ground with me? ”

The words are very clear, of course Qin Shujiu heard it, but Liqing's words were beyond her expectations, after all, this spring hunting trip is generally a very favored concubine, and there are not a few high-ranking old concubines in the palace, she never thought that Liqing would open her mouth and let her go with the car. Because of his unexpected expectations, Qin Shujiu was stunned there, looking at her somewhat slow appearance, Liqing couldn't help but joke.

"What? Wouldn't you like to travel with me? ”

"No, it's just." After a slight pause, Qin Shujiu said, "It's just a little accident, by the way, Your Majesty, who are the concubines accompanying you this time?" ”

It is good to accompany you, but who else is the concubine who is accompanying you is also something that has to be asked, after all, this is inevitably accompanied all day long, if you don't have a score in your heart, no one knows when you offend again. Qin Shujiu asked tentatively, and Na Liqing also answered, and tapped on the table Liqing said.

"Concubine Lide naturally wants it, every spring hunt over the years, Concubine Lide has been on her side, and this year is no exception, she is the daughter of the handsome woman, and she is indispensable for spring hunting. As for the rest, do you have any good suggestions? ”

"Concubine?"

Li Qing actually asked himself about this kind of thing, Qin Shujiu really couldn't guess what the purpose of Liqing's decision was, this kind of thing seemed to be a manifestation of His Majesty's favor and pampering himself, but in fact, it was also an errand that was very easy to offend people. If you choose the wrong person, or if you don't let anyone choose it, it can be extremely troublesome for yourself.

Liqing's sudden words made Qin Shujiu a little embarrassed, and he didn't have a good idea for a while, so he could only look at Liqing, and after looking at it like that for a while, Qin Shujiu said: "Whoever drives with him is completely dictatorial by His Majesty's Sacred Heart, and the concubine should not be able to do such a thing." ”

"I say that you have done it, and you will do it, and you will do it, and say it, who do I hope I will bring, maybe I will do what you want." Looking at Qin Shujiu with a smile, the smile on Liqing's face really couldn't see anything, but it was because he couldn't see anything that Qin Shujiu had to think about it. Liqing's words are the will, even if it is difficult to do it, he can only frown and think about it, and after thinking about it, Qin Shujiu said: "If Your Majesty asks the concubine to say, of course the concubine chooses Sister Su." ”

Her relationship with Su Die has always been good, and it is reasonable to choose Su Die, but Su Die's choice of Liqing seems to be dissatisfied, and she shook her head and said, "Everyone else is okay, but this butterfly is not good?" ”

"Why?" It made Qin Shujiu puzzled, but Na Liqing smiled and said: "Die'er's temperament is really similar to Concubine De, if you take both of her at the same time, I am afraid that on the way to this spring hunt, it will be time to fight." ”

Although Liqing said this with a smile, but its meaning is also clear, Concubine Lide is used to having nothing to do in her eyes, and Su Die is also a master who has no mind and only knows what he likes. One of these two is the concubine of the four concubines, and the other is just a small four-grade talent, which is a clear thing at a glance.

Not letting Su Die follow can be regarded as pampering, and it is also a bit sincere to want to come to Liqing to treat Su Die. When it came to this part, Qin Shujiu thought that he wanted to jump over Su Die, and Liqing asked her to choose two people from the harem to follow, and there were so many concubines who wanted to try not to offend people, and I was afraid that it would take a lot of money. Gritting his teeth, Qin Shujiu finally had a candidate, raised his eyes and looked at Liqing, Qin Shujiu said.

"Otherwise, let Xu Cairen follow."

Xu Cairen looked at her very unpleasantly, and Qin Shujiu actually took the initiative to ask her to drive with her, which made Liqing smile. Taiwei Xu has been making trouble recently, in order to appease Taiwei Xu's emotions, Li Qing was thinking about letting Xu Luoxin follow him, but he didn't expect Qin Shujiu to open his mouth first, and this thought made Li Qing smile.

just laughed but didn't say anything right away, but looked at her for about half a moment before he said, "You." The two words were full of favor, and after laughing, Liqing said, "What about the other one?" ”

"The other one?" After a slight pause, Qin Shujiu, who had already thought about it, said: "As for this other one, how about Lai Zhaoyi?" ”

Lai Zhaoyi, the head of the nine concubines, is second only to Concubine Lide, if she is accompanied by her, it is still the heaviest position of Concubine Lide, but it will not make the others who accompany her lighter. Qin Shujiu's two people guessed what Liqing's heart said, so that he was very satisfied, nodded Liqing and said: "Since it is Shu'er's arrangement, then I will follow your last wish, and let Lai Zhaoyi and Xu Cairen serve with you." ”

Spring hunting is a major event after the beginning of spring, naturally it is not sloppy, from the beginning of spring has been prepared, so when they travel everything is already in place, with the car, the responsibility of protecting the saint is also heavy. The Praetorian Guards accompanied the escort, led by Yan Yan, the commander of the Forbidden Army, and hunted Jiu'an Mountain in the spring.

Although the saint tried to streamline, there were still 3,000 guards accompanying him, and with the palace people who served and the four concubines who traveled with him, the momentum was also huge. On top of the dragon chariot, Concubine Lide and Lai Zhaoyi served beside them, while Xu Cairen and Qin Shujiu followed behind in chariots. The driving was bumpy all the way, although it was a royal chariot, how could the road condition be not good, but it was also shaking and bumpy, and Qin Shujiu was in the same car, Nanzhi served carefully, because he was worried that Qin Shujiu would make this bumpy carriage shake, Nanzhi specially took the backrest to put on Qin Shujiu, but she asked her to stop, shook her head, Qin Shujiu said.

"No, I'm not as delicate as you think, and I can't help me with such bumps. But Xu Cairen next door is afraid that he will have to eat a lot of sins. "It's customary to be away from her, such bumps are really nothing, but Xu Luoxin is afraid that she has suffered a lot, and who knows if she can hold up with such a golden body.

When he spoke, Qin Shujiu was also worried in his heart, and specially lifted the curtain of the car and looked over, and the chariot driving on the side was the chariot where Xu Luoxin was sitting, because the chariot was a little bumpy, and the curtain was fluttering, and Xu Cairen in the car could still be seen from time to time. frowned and made a bitter face, wanting to get angry but couldn't, so he had to be aggrieved. Lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it for a while, looking at Xu Luoxin's sinful appearance, Qin Shujiu put down the curtain of the car, and she also looked sideways when she lifted Nanzhi.

After lowering the curtain, he happened to see Nan Zhi stretching his neck, Qin Shujiu asked directly, "What do you see?" When asked, Nanzhi retracted his neck, pretending to be indifferent and replied, "I didn't see anything." Qin Shujiu smiled again and asked, "Really not?" After repeated questioning, Nanzhi replied: "Isn't it just to take advantage of the window of your sister to see the appearance of Xu Cairen's sin, that's all." ”

The last four words made Qin Shujiu laugh, this time it was all there was to it, if Xu Cairen listened to it, who knew how unhappy she was. Laughing helplessly, Qin Shujiu said: "But she has been raised delicately since she was a child, and I am afraid that she will not be able to bear such bumps alone." ”

"Yes." On the side, Nanzhi replied: "It seems to be a great favor to follow the spring hunt, but in fact it is also a sinful job, if it is a pampered concubine, it really can't stand it." By the way, sister, Nanzhi can ask you about it, this time I mentioned her to His Majesty for revenge? ”

Xu Cairen should give her some guilt after doing so many things, and Nanzhi will think of this as well. She just looked at Xu Luoxin's restlessness along the way to feel like this, of course, this heart is also very happy. Asked Nan Zhi to ask like this, Qin Shujiu looked at her immediately, and then asked, "In your eyes, am I the one who took the opportunity to take revenge?" Yan was a little surprised, but in this case, Nan Zhi didn't answer, no matter how he thought about it, he thought that Qin Shujiu's temperament was like this, Nan Zhi simply didn't speak, this silence can make Qin Shujiu sigh softly, and only after sighing did he look ahead and say.

"It's not my idea, it's what our majesty means."

"Your Majesty?" Confused asked, Nanzhi was a little puzzled, if she remembered correctly, the concubine who accompanied her this time was the person chosen by Qin Shujiu, and Liqing also complied with her wishes, why did she get to Qin Shujiu but it became Liqing's intention, and she was confused at the moment, and she asked after looking at Qin Shujiu. Didn't answer it right anymore he still looked at his front like that the front of the chariot was the dragon chariot that liqing was riding, and it seemed that he could see liqing in the chariot after a while before he said.

"Don't you think that our majesty's mind can be controlled by others?"

"What else?" Puzzled, Qin Shujiu sighed and said, "Our Majesty's original intention was to let Xu Cairen follow, so that Taiwei Xu could close that annoying mouth above the court." After hearing this, Nanzhi could only continue to ask, and Qin Shujiu also sighed and said: "After the beginning of spring, there is the entrance examination, especially last year, when the history of Kyushu was vacant, I don't know how many people in such a fat court are red-eyed, do you think Xu Taiwei will not stare directly." This Xu Taiwei is already an extremely troublesome person above the court, coupled with the high and powerful official position, if he wants to insert his own person in that position above the court, I am afraid that few people in the entire court have the courage to blatantly oppose this old lady. Xu Taiwei is such a person who can make trouble, plus he loves that daughter very much, if the grace of spring hunting and driving does not bring Xu Cairen, so that Xu Taiwei knows, who knows how many things can happen to him in the court. ”

"I didn't expect that a mere civil official from the first grade could give His Majesty a headache in the court, and it seems that our Majesty can't help himself." I have always felt that those in power should do whatever they want, who knows that there are still many last resorts, so Nanzhi said that Qin Shujiu looked at her directly and said, "What? Don't you feel sorry for your majesty? ”

"What did my sister say? Even if I feel sorry for anyone in this world, I will never feel sorry for this majesty. There was no panic or anxious explanation, but sneered and said a sentence that was ordinary in her eyes, an ordinary tone, Qin Shujiu knew that what she said was true, but no longer ridiculed her but said: "But you were wrong about one thing just now, that Taiwei Xu is not a civil official from a mere grade." ”

Suddenly moving the conversation to this point, Qin Shujiu said after thinking carefully: "You must know that this mere civil official in your mouth is from a first-class civil official, if the power is high, it is above ten thousand people under one person. Such a person, even if he is in power, weighs carefully, otherwise he will suffer. ”

Just a few from the first product, you must know that if this small from the first product is ruthless, the power in his hands and the people under him are enough to turn over a terrible world. The tone became more and more wrong, and Qin Shujiu's voice slowly became lighter, and the sudden light voice sounded like it was about to drift away.

There was no focus in her eyes, and she didn't know what she was looking at, looking at Qin Shujiu's appearance at this time, Nan Zhi knew that she remembered the past again, and immediately patted Qin Shujiu's hand, Nan Zhi said: "Sister, don't think about it, I'm worried about hurting my body." ”

"I'm not thinking about the past." Nodding back, Qin Shujiu said, "I was just thinking about that Captain Xu." ”

"Captain Xu?" After asking a question, and thinking carefully about what Qin Shujiu had just said, Nan Zhi said: "According to what my sister just said, then Taiwei Xu's foundation in the court should be deep-rooted, how can such a solid foundation be broken?" ”

"As long as you are a courtier, you can still break it." Nan Zhi was worried, but Qin Shujiu was careless, no matter how solid Xu Taiwei's foundation in the court was, as long as he was still a minister, there would be a time to break it. It's just that at this time, how to find out how not to burn yourself? It's a matter of thought.

When thinking about it, Qin Shujiu opened the curtain of the car again, and looked at the chariot on the side.

Xu Cairen, Your Majesty is very fond of her, so much so that she has to stay by her side even on Jiu'an Mountain to feel at ease. How can the concubines who make His Majesty remember in his heart even more? Qin Shujiu has to think of a way.
