Chapter Twenty-Three: The Hunt Has Arrived
Tuoba Lin leaned against the window, his dark and deep eyes couldn't see any emotion, he stared at Shangguan Mu, who was practicing calligraphy seriously in the courtyard, thoughtful, and his body was motionless.
Raid Xiang, who came in with the medicine, was a little puzzled, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Prince was doing by the window, although there were some flowers and plants outside the window, but there was no special scenery to see, and Her Royal Highness the princess had told her to take good care of the Son, which made Raid Xiang feel a little embarrassed.
"Fourth son, the imperial doctor said that you are injured, it is best to stay in bed." Xi Xiang said cautiously, in her eyes, this Royal Highness the Prince, who is often bullied by the princess, is really a little scary.
After arriving in the courtyard, she looked in the direction of Tuoba Lin's gaze, no matter how she looked at it, the whole courtyard except for some ordinary flowers and plants, only Her Royal Highness the princess, who practiced calligraphy seriously under the plane tree, really couldn't figure out what the prince was looking at, Xiang Xiang shook her head and walked to the kitchen to make dinner for Her Royal Highness the princess.
The days go by like this, Shangguan Mu comes back from His Royal Highness Yonghua every day to practice calligraphy in the courtyard, look at some of the strange novels of this era, now she has basically reached the level where she can read books, occasionally encounter a few rare words or check to know what it means, Tuoba Lin's recovery speed is also quite amazing, such a serious injury can move around freely in a few days, and then disappear for a few days as usual, Xue Caiyi comes to Shangguan Mu every day to play, and occasionally Shangguan Tai will also come, and fight with the two of them, In the blink of an eye, it has come to the autumn season of this world.
Shangguan Mu always felt that such a comfortable and leisurely day was a little unreal, did he forget something important? But what is it? Just when Shangguan Mu was puzzled, the news brought by Xue Caiyi made her react immediately.
"Great news, Shangguan Mu, it's about to be the day to go hunting in the paddock, my uncle has just announced this year's entourage list, and you and I are among them." Xue Caiyi ran from outside excitedly and grabbed Shangguan Mu, who was practicing calligraphy in the yard.
"What? It's time to hunt? Shangguan Mu was a little surprised, it turned out that she had been in this world for so long, the idle days were over, and what should come was always coming.
"Ouch, you're stuck in the yard and moldy, and you don't even know anything so big." Xue Caiyi looked at her in disbelief and said.
Shangguan Mu was also a little speechless, he has been getting more and more homely recently, and he didn't even know that the emperor was going out of the palace to hunt such a big thing, as a vicious female partner, he was already content with his idle days after so long, but what was about to happen, even if he was mentally prepared, but after all, he was a flesh-and-blood person, and he still felt very scared when he thought about it.
But no matter what, Shangguan Mu has to continue according to the original plot, she doesn't want to stay in this world forever, she wants to return to her own world and resume her original life.
The day before leaving, Shangguan Mu went to ask the Queen Mother for peace, the ancient traffic was blocked, although the royal enclosure was in Yanjing, but it would take three days to arrive, plus the time of hunting, this time to go at least half a month before coming back, Shangguan Mu should resign to the Queen Mother who loves him.
"Girl, your injury hasn't been long enough, if you don't mourn your family and tell the emperor, I won't take you there this year, and I will accompany my grandmother in the palace." The Queen Mother said to Shangguan Mu.
"Don't, grandmother, my grandson is almost moldy in the palace, and I finally have a chance to go out of the palace to play, I don't want to waste it like this." Shangguan Mu was in a hurry, if he hadn't gone to the paddock to hunt this time, maybe the plot of the novel would have been rewritten.
"You girl, didn't you just go north with your father in June to escape the summer? What does it mean to be good and not easy to get out of the palace? I think you dislike me as an old woman. The Queen Mother said angrily.
"No, no," Shangguan Mu hurriedly waved his hand to explain, "It's not what Grandmother thinks. ”
"Okay, grandmother teases you, you are so playful, how can you be absent from hunting, besides, Caiyi is also here this year, you young people have fun." The Queen Mother looked at Shangguan Mu kindly.
"Mmmm, I won't see you for more than half a month, you old man should pay attention to your body," Shangguan Mu said.
"The mourning family knows that you have filial piety, and originally thought that you would seize the opportunity if you transferred that kid from the Lin family to the palace on an errand, but it turned out that you are really heartless, and you don't know how to seize the opportunity.
Shangguan Mu was a little crying and laughing, the Queen Mother still thought that Shangguan Mu was dead set on Lin Yifeng, but she didn't know how to catch his heart, so she planned for her step by step, and the old man was so worried about her, it really made her drunk.
After chatting with the Queen Mother for a long time before leaving, when I returned to Muyun Pavilion, I found that the entire Muyun Pavilion looked festive, everyone was tidying up, Shangguan Mu was a little speechless, she was just going to leave for more than half a month, are you so happy?
Xian Xiang seemed to see Shangguan Mu's thoughts, "Princess, everyone is happy that you can go out of the palace to reunite with your family for a few days, not because the princess wants to leave." ”
It turns out that the palace maids and eunuchs in the Xiqi Palace, in addition to meeting with their families at the end of each month, every year the emperor goes out of the palace enclosure to hunt, in addition to following the people out of the palace, they can go home to reunite with their families for a few days, for this kind of society, such regulations are undoubtedly very humane.
"But what about you and Dan Xiang? Aren't you two going to the paddock with me? Shangguan Mu asked.
"Xiangxiang Danxiang is the princess's personal maid, so naturally she must never leave the princess at any time, and the slave's family has sold the slave to the palace since she was a child, and she has long lost contact." Xian Xiang said to Shangguan Mu, his face did not change at all, it seemed that he no longer had illusions about his family.
It turns out that Xiangxiang is also a hard-working person, Shangguan Mu secretly thought, he must be good to these two girls in the future, not to mention anything else, in this world where patriarchy and husband power are the sky, at least a good family affair must be promised for them.
