Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Cunning Rabbit Dies, and the Lackey Cooks
The spring hunt in March has come to an end, and Emperor Chengwu specially asked people to pull out all the living creatures hunted during this time for others to see. Of course, each of these cages had the hunter's name written on it.
Among them, the most hunting is Emperor Chengwu, after all, he is the lord of a country, and no one will be stupid enough to compete with Emperor Chengwu for this false name. If you are not afraid of death, give it a try.
So today, the ladies and ladies of all the provinces gather here.
Xin Yan walked with the Chang sisters, which attracted everyone's attention. However, Xin Yan himself didn't want to attract attention, so after chatting with them, he excused himself and separated from them.
Chang Ruan is not a person without eyes, so naturally he will not pursue it. Then they walked to the ladies of other mansions, even if they said Miss Houfu, the two of them still couldn't escape the false and wronged snakes with those young ladies, this is a way to let their Hou Mansion live quietly forever.
Shao Yunqing was in a hurry, and when she saw Xin Yan here, her eyes were happy, and she ran forward with her skirt.
"So you're here, and I've been looking at you for a long time."
Xin Yan and the Chang sisters came, so they naturally saw Shao Yunqing's figure a long time ago. However, seeing that she was surrounded by several people, she didn't step forward to disturb her.
"Look at you now, you should be pretty good."
Touching the smile in Xin Yan's eyes, Shao Yunqing was helpless, knowing that Xin Yan was making fun of her.
"Alas, I was originally hidden by those young ladies, and although I felt uncomfortable, but now, I really don't feel it."
Shao Yunqing was previously embarrassed because of her identity and being secretly manipulated by Shao Yunwan. But now, those young ladies who avoided her before have been pasted one by one, and they can't get rid of it.
After Xin Yan's promotion these days, as well as what she has experienced, it is not difficult for Shao Yunqing to see that these young ladies approached her for another purpose.
After all, it was just because Zhou Feng valued her and wanted to have a relationship with the Zhou family.
Shao Yunqing also asked Xin Yan before, if these people really want to get in touch with Zhou Feng, wouldn't it be easier to find Zhou Shuman or Zhou Shumei, but do they still need to find her, who is just the niece that Zhou Feng just found? Isn't this a reluctance to go far?
However, Xin Yan said: "Not to mention Zhou Shuman's identity, according to her identity above the top, if the other party's identity is not higher than her, or if the other party is a little disagreeing with her, he will definitely not be pleased in her mouth." ”
Regarding this point, Shao Yunqing had a deep understanding and nodded firmly.
"And that Zhou Shumei, although it is said that her aunt is very popular with Lord Zhou in the mansion, but here, she is just the concubine of the Zhou mansion, if it is said that she wants to slap her, it is better to let them slap Zhou Shuman. Because the concubines are no different from their subordinates in their eyes, unless they are those young ladies who are not favored in the house, they will rush to talk to Zhou Shumei. ”
When Shao Yunqing heard this, he had to nod in agreement.
In the past, she didn't communicate much with these people, and she didn't attend many banquets in Gyeonggi-ri, and her mother didn't talk to her much about these things when she was a child, so she was not as familiar with the situation in Gyeonggi as she was and the distinction between concubines and concubines.
"However, this is also the case before. Now the situation is different, there is a person in the mansion this week. Lord Zhou's recent concern and love for you, they are all in their eyes, and those who have a heart will naturally know about Lord Zhou's trip to Shao Mansion to bring you back that day. A concubine of Shao Mansion, or the niece of Lord Zhou, is cowardly by nature, such a good opportunity, do you think they will not take advantage of it, dig out something beneficial to them in your body, so as to take such a big ship as Zhou Mansion? ”
Shao Yunqing couldn't refute Xin Yan's words, basically as soon as she said it, she believed it. This is also what I felt here in Xin Yan before, what she said, not once was wrong, and this time was naturally no exception.
However, all these favorable conditions were also absorbed for a year to help her. Therefore, she will also try to break into the circle of Gyeonggi and win benefits for both of them, which is also their original purpose.
But having said that, Shao Yunqing still couldn't help but want to complain about those young ladies: "I suddenly found that those young ladies have a ability that I can't match." ”
"What?"
"The speed at which you change your face! Just now, someone laughed with me and talked about Cheng Yi. In the words, she deserved nothing more than that. But-" She suddenly lowered her voice and said, "I saw before that she has a good relationship with that Cheng Yi, and the two families are still families." ”
Shao Yunqing never thought that the group with Cheng Yi before would now stand on her side and "discuss" Cheng Yi's "scenery and deeds" with her. In and out of the words, it was all mockery. This made Shao Yunqing can't help but have the feeling of "the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks".
However, when Xin Yan heard this, he did say lightly: "These people have a little sincerity in their relationship, but it's just for the benefit of the family, do you really think they will give their sincerity to her and become friends?" ”
Cheng Yi looks like that, she just wants to trample people who are lower than her status, how can those people not feel it.
The previous flattery, the stammering, were just expedient, just because they wanted something from her. This Gyeonggi seems to be prosperous and noble, but it is full of traps.
You never know if the people around you are true or fake about you.
Perhaps, she can stab you in the back, or stomp on you when you become a loser.
Soon, Xin Yan and the others also skipped this topic, stopped talking about it, and talked about something else.
Then just before Xin Yan walked through a cage, he felt a gaze.
She pretended to be nothing, but quietly looked around at the people around her, wondering who had sent it.
However, there was nothing to be gained, and apparently, this person was so well hidden that he could even hide his breath.
It's just that Xin Yan didn't show it on his face, and the alarm bell sounded in his heart.
These people are afraid that they are coming for her.
However, without the corners of her mouth, well, she just waited for them to make a move.
The crowd in front of them surged, and everyone present saw Emperor Chengwu coming over with a group of royal children, and everyone saluted.
Emperor Cheng Wu was in a good mood, and he made a sound to calm them down, and everyone on the field heard that Emperor Cheng Wu's tone was happier than usual.
The people present sat down one after another under the guidance of the eunuchs and palace maids.
At this time, the weather was just right, cloudless, and the slight wind blew the dress, which was comfortable.
Emperor Chengwu clapped his hands, and the palace maids jumped in, each holding a tray in their hands, and the people who got closer all asked about the fragrance of the food inside.
These are the animals that have been hunted these days, and they are fresh. With the techniques of the imperial chef in the palace, the taste and appearance are naturally extraordinary.
Everyone's small table is filled with delicious food, and the fragrance is overflowing.
Emperor Chengwu motioned for them to do it normally, so they picked up the chopsticks, removed the seasoning on them, picked up a piece of meat, and put it in their mouths.
The meat is tender and delicious. It can be said that it melts in the mouth, and most of the freshness comes from fresh ingredients, and the other part is naturally the technique of the imperial chef.
After using it, it is all appreciated. Those officials would not miss the opportunity to be able to shoot Emperor Wu's horse this time, and it was immediately lively.
Xin Yan tasted it by himself, to be honest, this food was really delicious, and those imperial kitchen techniques were really not covered.
But Xin Yan put it down after eating a few bites, mainly because he was tired.
Most of the food here is meaty, delicious and delicious, but it is easy to get tired, and after eating a few bites of Xinyan, there is no desire to eat.
Then it's as if you're looking elsewhere intently and enjoying the scenery.
However, in fact, Xin Yan was indeed waiting for the opportunity.
Suddenly, a voice pierced the sky, and soon someone hurriedly came to report.
"Emperor, Emperor, the wolf imprisoned in the cage has escaped."
Emperor Chengwu's face changed suddenly: "What's the matter?" ”
The guard didn't know what was going on.
They had been ordered to be on guard, and then the wolf broke out of the cage and escaped.
Several guards have already been bitten.
Originally, the wolf had been injured, but the wolf had been hungry for a long time, and the bleeding from the wound had stopped.
Unexpectedly, as soon as it escaped, it did not escape into the forest, but attacked the guards.
The guards didn't notice, so they were tricked.
However, Emperor Chengwu still didn't wait for the explanation of the people below, and saw the figure of the wolf.
The guards all drew their swords and surrounded the wolf in the middle.
The ladies at the banquet had never seen this scene, and they all lost their blood, but they were only frightened.
They also know that they are the safest place to be.
After all, Emperor Chengwu is on it, of course these guards will swear to protect this place, if there is any accident, they will definitely die.
This is when Xin Yan waited.
As she passed by the cage, she had already noticed that there was something wrong with the big lock on it.
The lock is simply gone, it has no effect at all, it is just a false flicker, just to confuse others.
Xin Yan didn't know who the person behind it was, but she was sure that the person behind it was not to release the wolf and scare everyone.
Soon, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the wolf only managed a few counterattacks before dying under the sword of the guards.
Although he didn't hurt the people on the field, Emperor Chengwu's face was still ugly.
Of course, under his nose, this kind of thing can happen, and he was in a good mood just now, but now it has all dissipated.
Soon the people below brought the news, and he knelt on the ground and said: "Go back to the emperor, the cage where the wolf is kept, and the lock on it has been manipulated, so that the wolf can escape." ”
Hearing this news, the people present did not dare to come out, this was done on purpose.
Then, the people below quickly thought, who did this and why did it do it? Who is he trying to harm?
If the wolf just now jumped out a little late, if there was a problem when Emperor Chengwu took them to visit, wouldn't they have no way to hide?
And the first to bear the brunt is Emperor Chengwu who is standing in front.
Now the thoughts of the people below are getting more and more uncontrollable, is this person trying to harm the emperor? !
Realizing this thought, they all gasped, for fear that Emperor Chengwu would take this anger out on them.
