Chapter 124: Mood
Emperor Zhou Hui is already this age, Xu Youshan definitely doesn't believe that he can still pull the big bow, as long as he can get on the horse and gallop for a while, Xu Youshan thinks he is amazing, after all, in recent years, Emperor Zhou Hui's body is really not good, major illnesses are every three or five, minor illnesses have never been broken, and Emperor Zhou Hui has recently become obsessed with the way of alchemy, what do you want to ask for immortality, what kind of messy things to eat again, Emperor Zhou Huidi's body thinks?
No way!
Therefore, Xu Youshan didn't understand at all at the beginning, and Emperor Zhou Hui, whose body was not good, insisted on doing such a hunt, especially in Xunshan, a landslide a few years ago, which led to a miserable and misty place in the entire divine capital.
Xu Youshan stood in front of the wide open window, through the courtyard, as if she saw the high and dangerous peaks of Xun Mountain, layers of mountains and mountains, in the morning fog, it is even more majestic and beautiful, extraordinary scenes under the sun, after the fog gradually dispersed, it is even more amazing, marvel at the miracle of nature, as well as those impermanence disasters, natural disasters come. But in the final analysis, the first time she stepped on Xunshan, Xu Youshan's feelings were complicated, and she didn't know what kind of mood she should face this place.
"Princess Qiqi, the prince invites you to come over." And just when Xu Youshan was thinking about some past events in a complicated way, a voice that made Chu Dai and Yue Dai frown suddenly sounded outside the screen, agarwood.
On this trip to Xunshan, Xie Jing brought Agarwood with him, and of course this was also requested by Agarwood, but because of Xie Jing and Xu Youshan, he couldn't be discovered by Agarwood. Therefore, agarwood is generally isolated outside the main room by Wu Lin and Liu's mother, and only when Xie Jing and Xu Youshan get up and get ready, can agarwood come in and serve Xie Jing.
But it's this changed rule. Let Agarwood look at Xu Youshan's gaze, faintly getting colder and colder, after all, before Xu Youshan married Xie Jing, Agarwood almost served Xie Jing closely, no matter Xie Jing's food, clothing, housing and transportation, it was all handled by Agarwood. So to speak, compared to Mama Zhao. The agarwood over the years has been relied on even more by Xie Jing, at least from the outside. Agarwood has replaced Mama Zhao's position, but what the truth is, only Mama Zhao and Agarwood themselves know.
But no matter what, anyway, before Xu Youshan married into the Chu Palace. Xie Jing's side. Agarwood has almost never left half a step, but since Xu Youshan married Xie Jing, although it was Agarwood herself who was reluctant to approach at first, but when she got to the back, Agarwood found that at first she thought that Xie Jing and Xu Youshan would not get along well at all, and they were in love. That's how it happened.
Although later, Xie Jing had a while. Or only on the first and fifteenth day of each month to go to Bowei Houyun, but later, Xie Jing actually went there often, and therefore, when Agarwood gritted his teeth and said that he would also follow to serve Xie Jing, Xie Jing actually directly rejected Agarwood's proposal, and also instructed Agarwood not to go to Bowei Houyun, saying that the princess likes to be quiet? This made Agarwood directly shocked, because Xie Jing would never tell Agarwood like this.
And Xu Youshan's is getting more and more special, accompanied by the agarwood's more and more annoying emotions for her, which are constantly growing, and these nasty emotions, when Xie Jing is present, agarwood will converge, but as long as Xie Jing is not there, when facing Xu Youshan, agarwood hates her performance, which can be said to be very clear, and it is clear that Chu Dai and Yue Dai are now equally disgusted with agarwood.
But on the contrary, Xu Youshan doesn't care much about agarwood, as long as she doesn't overstep the rules, then Xu Youshan won't care much about her, even if Agarwood's hatred of her has been expressed very clearly, but Xu Youshan still doesn't react, or it should be said that Xu Youshan doesn't care much about whether Agarwood likes her or not, whether she hates her or not, and Xu Youshan doesn't care about Agarwood.
So just when the voice of agarwood just sounded, Chu Dai and Yue Dai both frowned, Xu Youshan smiled and patted the little heads of the two of them, and replied indifferently: "Well, I know." ”
Xie Jing had already gotten up, so he was naturally in the study at this time, so Agarwood could help Xie Jing pass the word, so Xu Youshan also went to the study after changing her clothes.
"Your Highness." After Xu Youshan arrived at the study, she didn't need the agarwood outside the house to inform her, so she went straight into the house, and as soon as Xu Youshan entered the room, she saw that there was only Xie Jing in the room.
"It's almost time, are you ready?" Xie Jing looked at Xu Youshan and asked.
"Well, it's ready."
Today, it is said that Emperor Zhou Hui officially started hunting, but everyone knows that in fact, the protagonist of this hunt is a young man, Emperor Zhou Hui, but he just gets on the horse and pretends to be on the horse, after all, with Emperor Zhou Huidi's weak body, people know that it is impossible to draw a bow and shoot eagle eagles. But even so, even if people know what to do, what does Emperor Zhou Hui want to do, then the others only have the cooperation of holding and rushing, who dares to drop the chain?
Therefore, on the first day of Zhou Huidi's hunting today, everyone is going to enter the mountain together, and Xie Jing is of course no exception, but he has a serious illness as an excuse, so although he also wants to accompany Zhou Huidi into Xun Mountain with everyone, but Xie Jing just doesn't have to do it anymore, and this greatly reduces Xu Youshan's worries.
As for Xu Youshan's female dependents, they are different from Xie Jing, they only need to send Zhou Huidi and his party when they enter the mountain, and wait until Zhou Huidi and they come back to greet them, so at the present time of Chen, Xu Youshan wants to go to the main hall with Xie Jing to greet Emperor Zhou Hui, and then go to the entrance of Xunshan with everyone to send off Emperor Zhou Huishan and his party, which is a great thing for Xu Youshan, after all, such a convenient and simple itinerary is no better, as long as Zhou Huidi and them are sent into the mountain, Isn't Xu Youshan's free time coming?
Therefore, after Xie Jing and Xu Youshan were ready, the two walked towards the main hall together, and when they arrived outside the main hall, they happened to see the second prince Xie Yan and the third prince Xie Wen and other princes.
Among the princes brought by Emperor Zhou Hui this time, only Xie Jing has been married. Among the remaining princes, only the second prince Xie Yan had two side concubines, but this time Xie Yan only brought one of the side concubines. Therefore, now after Xie Jing and Xu Youshan also arrived, outside this main hall, the only people who can be announced by Emperor Zhou Hui are Xie Jing, Xie Yan and Xie Wen, as well as Xu Youshan, the princess of Chu, as well as the second prince Xie Yan's side concubine and the third prince Xie Wen.
This person really can't be a lot! After Xu Youshan looked around at everyone, she secretly thought in her heart.
"Brother Huang. I came early. And unlike Xie Yan, who was standing in the corner who was too silent, the third prince Xie Wen said with a smile on his face after everyone saw each other.
"It's not too late for the third emperor brother to come." Xie Jing also smiled gently at this time. It's just that between the two of them, the performance of this brother and brother Gong, the undercurrent that is so obvious that it can't be more obvious, is turbulent and almost swept away Xu Youshan.
And Xu Youshan looked at Xie Jing and Xie Wen's every sentence, as if there were many traps hidden in the dialogue. I really admired the two of them infinitely. You say a simple sentence, how can it be so full of traps in their mouths? Although Xu Youshan didn't understand it very well, the faint meaning of the arrow crossbow between the two of them could be clearly felt by Xu Youshan, who was closest to Xie Jing.
"Xuan, King Xie Jing of Chu, Second Prince Xie Yan, Third Prince Xie Wen and other princes are here."
But just when Xie Jing and Xie Wen talked more and laughed more kindly, the atmosphere became colder. Emperor Zhou Hui's will came down, and Xie Jing and Xie Wen also closed together. Then under the guidance of the inner supervisor, Xie Jing and Xu Youshan were in front, Xie Yan and Xie Wen and their party were behind, and everyone entered the main hall.
At this time, in the main hall, there were two people sitting on the high dragon couch, Emperor Zhou Hui and Concubine Xian.
This time Emperor Zhou Hui went hunting in Xunshan Mountain, with a lot of concubines with him, maybe he sat with Emperor Zhou Hui all the way, and there were not many concubines who could accept the princes' greetings with Emperor Zhou Hui now...... No, it should be said that Concubine Xian is the only one who can be treated like this, especially now that Concubine De has been snubbed by Emperor Zhou Hui, Concubine Xian is the first person in the harem who is justifiable.
"See my father, see Concubine Xian." Everyone knelt down to Emperor Zhou Hui and Concubine Xian to say goodbye, and Emperor Zhou Hui said lazily after everyone finished saluting: "Get up." ”
"Thank you, Father." Under the voice of Emperor Zhou Hui, everyone got up according to his words, including Xu Youshan, of course, but Xu Youshan, who lowered her head slightly, slowly got up, but was slightly stunned by some scenes in the corner of her eye, and then quickly collected her mind.
"Emperors, did you have a good rest last night?" Emperor Zhou Hui asked with a smile.
"Father, my son's son rested well last night, and today I will definitely be able to barely follow my father's footsteps, and I will not move forward a few times, and I will be thrown far away by my father." Among the crowd, Xie Wen took a step forward as a matter of course and replied to Emperor Zhou Hui respectfully.
It's just that here, regardless of the reasoning, Zhou Huidi's questions should actually be answered by Xie Jing, but everyone, except for Xu Youshan, seems to have no problem with this, everything is taken for granted, except for Xu Youshan. And although Xu Youshan also had a general understanding of how Xie Jing was not favored by Emperor Zhou Hui after this period of time, but even so, at this time, when Xie Wen naturally crossed Xie Jing and answered Emperor Zhou Huidi's question, Xu Youshan couldn't help but be surprised again.
"Hahaha...... Okay, then I'll see if you can catch up with me today. ”
"Shengshang, you too, how can you still take it seriously, just Min'er's three-legged cat has to ride and shoot kung fu, how can you compare with you, don't you want to make Min'er unable to get off the stage for a while."
"Oh, then when I heard Concubine Ai say this, it's really true, won't I hit Min'er in a while."
"Father, mother!"
"Hahaha......" Emperor Zhou Hui, Concubine Xian and Coco Xie were staging a scene of father's kindness and filial piety as if no one was there, and at this time, everyone else became the foil of their "family of three". And Xu Youshan also lowered her eyes at this time, trying not to let anyone see the resentment in her eyes. Yes, it's just not angry, even Xu Youshan, an outsider, Emperor Zhou Hui is too much for Xie Jing, not to mention that Xie Wen's extreme disregard for Xie Jing is enough to make people's hearts blocked, not to mention that Xu Youshan still remembers that Xie Yan, who is now standing behind Xie Jing in extreme silence, not long ago, he was still one of the princes who was extremely favored by Emperor Zhou Hui, just like Xie Wen.
Then Xie Yan and Xie Wen were favored by Emperor Zhou Hui, and they didn't take Xie Jing, the eldest brother of the emperor, in their eyes at all, and with the wordless support of Emperor Zhou Hui, in front of the ministers, did Xie Yan and Xie Wen also ignore Xie Jing so easily, and so easily bypass Xie Jing, to exercise those rights that should only be exercised by Xie Jing? After all, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, since the founding of the country, the national law has been clearly stipulated, the heir to the throne, only the eldest son of the emperor who occupies the heir and occupies the eldest son is the only legitimate successor, as long as the eldest son of the emperor exists, even if the emperor does not issue an edict to be crowned as the prince, it is equivalent to the uncrowned prince of the country and the prince of the East Palace.
But look at it, the eldest son of the emperor, who should be so noble, was deliberately or unintentionally abused by Emperor Zhou Hui, and in Xie Jing's body, Xu Youshan couldn't see a little bit of the luck that the eldest son of Emperor Zhou should have to be favored by God.
In Xie Jing's body, Xu Youshan can only feel full of resentment, and under the signal of Emperor Zhou Hui, in the court, Xie Jing's prestige is not as majestic as the eldest son of Emperor Zhou at all, and it is not even as good as Xie Yan and Xie Wen, these are all heard by Xu Youshan a long time ago, in a few conversations between Mrs. Qi and Pei's family, after a few words, she was heard, and at that time, she knew that Xie Jing was probably not very liked by Emperor Zhou Hui.
But I don't like this very much, Xu Youshan would never have guessed that Xie Jing would be disliked by Emperor Zhou Hui like this, and what he didn't like was to the point where others despised Xie Jing, which Xu Youshan couldn't guess, and in such an unfavorable situation, Xie Jing could still create a great Jiang Chunjin, which also made Xu Youshan admire him.
"Holy Lord, it's almost time."
And when Emperor Zhou Hui, Concubine Xian and Xie Wen were beside their fathers and sons, Xie Jing and the rest were silent in place, but Xu Youshan was thinking nonsense, and the chief manager Meng, who had been standing beside Emperor Zhou Hui, suddenly whispered to Emperor Zhou Hui.
