Chapter 162: Behind the Scenes
After the maidservant left, Yuan Qiongyu stood up with Wen Qingqian's strength.
Qu Miaoling's words made her think.
"The same thing?"
She rejected the words in her mouth, and after a few times, she finally remembered.
Last time, Qu Miaoling reminded herself to be careful of Wen Qingqian, a woman, who was ruthless and cruel, and was used to pretending to be garlic.
Yuan Qiongyu pursed her mouth, as if she had listened to Qu Miaoling's words in her heart.
But if you really listen to it or pretend that no one knows.
"Miss Yuan, you can't listen to Qu Miaoling's nonsense, I'm loyal to you
Heart-wrenching. ”
Yuan Qiongyu patted the dirt on her body and nodded, "Who is good to me, who is false to me, of course I understand, don't worry." ”
After speaking, Yuan Qiongyu also left, but where Wen Qingqian couldn't see, a dark glint flashed in her eyes.
Qu Miaoling didn't care about the turbulent waves between the two, she walked straight towards her aunt's position.
This was a grand hunting feast, and all the people from the Marquis of Jingkang Mansion were naturally present.
"Miao Ling, my aunt hasn't had time to congratulate you, and now you are an upright county lord."
"Whatever my aunt says, no matter what Miaoling's identity is, she is your dearest niece." Qu Miaoling said, and grabbed Mrs. An's arm coquettishly.
"By the way, Miao Ling, I haven't had time to tell you that the injury on your second cousin's leg is now healed. Imperial Doctor Li said that he had a good chance of being cured. ”
Mrs. Ann said happily.
"Really?" Qu Miaoling was also happy when he heard it.
The second cousin was injured. In fact, to be honest, it is also somewhat related to herself, if she is not connected with Situ Huaiju, how can the second cousin have a close relationship with him? How could he be plotted by Situ Huaibo?
Thinking of this, Qu Miaoling also complained a little about herself.
"Auntie, when the hunting conference is over, I will go with you to Jingkang Hou Mansion to see the second cousin, I haven't seen him for many days, and see how he is recovering."
Mrs. An naturally agreed to him and patted Qu Miaoling's right hand. All the words are in plain sight.
The two walked to the seat together, and Mrs. An suddenly said: "Miao Ling, you don't need to blame yourself, your second cousin's injury has nothing to do with you, it is those bad people who are responsible for it." You must not blame yourself for falling into the way of those bad people. ”
Qu Miaoling nodded obediently.
After a while, Mrs. An said, "I just heard that the rules of this year's hunting tournament seem to have changed, and the nobles of the family will also participate in the competition. ”
Qu Miaoling sighed, not surprised.
Because the previous emperor also arranged it this way.
Mrs. An thought for a while, and then said: "Several of your cousins are also here today, and when it officially starts later, you must follow them closely and don't be left alone, if you are injured, your aunt will be distressed." ”
Qu Miaoling nodded, "I know, aunt, I'm not a child anymore, I'll protect myself." ”
"In my aunt's eyes, you will always be a child and need your aunt's protection."
"Auntie."
Rarely, Qu Miaoling said this sentence very restrictively.
In this regard, Mrs. An just patted Qu Miaoling's right hand again and comforted her.
Suddenly, Mrs. An seemed to think of something, and her eyes looked straight in one direction, which was the person from Prime Minister Wen's mansion.
"Miao Ling, the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you must be careful, they are all pickled people, I don't know what kind of means they will use to deal with you."
"Auntie, don't worry, Miao Ling can save it."
The hunting game of the princes is over, and it is the climax of the hunting meeting - the group of ministers hunting together.
In this competition, all the nobles and princes of the royal family have to participate.
Of course, except for those who are ill, if you really don't want to participate, you need to report to the emperor.
Qu Miaoling followed the three cousins to the field, and there were already many people gathered there, many of whom were familiar to Qu Miaoling, and some of them had nodding their heads.
The emperor ordered everyone to divide into four groups. Led by the princes, each prince was followed by the children of officials.
"Today is a good day for my Daling Dynasty, and I hope that all the princes will do their best, come out on top, and the group that hunts the most will be rewarded!"
The emperor's words fell, and the sound of beating the drum immediately sounded.
The sound is so loud that it is deafening.
After grouping, Qu Miaoling and Situ Huai decided to be in a group, and Yuan Qiongyu was assigned to Situ Huaibo's team as she wished.
Among the teams led by the four princes, only Situ Huaizhu and Situ Huaibo had the strength to fight.
All eyes were on these two groups.
Yuan Qiongyu stood in place.
When she heard the shouting too close and asked her to be in a group with Situ Huaibo, her heart was excited.
Especially when she heard that Qu Miao Lingfeng was assigned to the group of Situ rejection, the excitement in her heart reached its peak.
As for Qu Miaoling's warning to herself just now, she didn't believe it all.
What woman would tell the truth?
Her mother had told her not to take anyone's word for it, because women were all swordsmen.
She kept this sentence in her heart.
Although her father is a general, he also has many aunts and concubines in the mansion.
Although her mother is the wife of the main house, she has to suffer from their troubles every day, and she has to accept their morning and dusk meditation.
Despite her displeasure, when the concubine called her sister, she still had to accept it with a smile on her face.
This kind of life is despised by Yuan Qiongyu, but Situ Huaibo will compete for the big position in the future. It is impossible for him to take only one scoop of water for 3,000 weak water.
Yuan Qiongyu had already made plans, as long as Situ Huaibo had herself in her heart, and there were no other women, she could still accept it.
And Situ Huaiju, when he heard that Qu Miaoling was assigned to his own group, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.
When the elder brothers of the Min family saw it, they all showed shameless smiles.
Although this Situ Huaizhu is the third prince and his status is also very high, he still can't match their sister, or not.
The third prince, who is sought after by many noble daughters of the family, is not as good as an ordinary prince of a family in their eyes, which makes Situ Huaizhu unacceptable.
But they are all Qu Miaoling's family, and he can only try his best to make them have a good impression of him, believe in himself, trust himself, and give his favorite sister to himself.
He still has a lot of work to do to do this.
Qu Miaoling also smiled slowly after hearing the assignment roster, not being in a group with Situ Huaibo, not to say, the two who haven't seen each other for a long time can talk and chat, and they can also gallop together on the horse.
This is the day of the fairy couple, she has not experienced it in a long time.
Qu Miaoling also faintly felt an inexplicable sense of excitement in her heart.
Four teams are ready to go.
And Mrs. An, who was sitting in the seat and looking at the below, had a sad face. Especially when she saw the Wenfu family sitting opposite her, the uneasiness in her heart became even greater.
In previous hunting conferences, there were always a few people injured, and it was not unheard of to die.
I don't know what will happen if a girl is mixed up in Miaoling? Fortunately, several of his brothers are there, and they will definitely protect her.
But why is her heart still uneasy?
Mrs. Ann's eyes grew heavier, and she picked up the teacup on the desk and drank it down.
At this moment, Wen suddenly walked over.
"Mrs. An, Miao Ling is also on the scene, but I am very worried in my heart." Wen said with a worried look, his brows furrowed slightly, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes slowly opened.
It looks quite true, but if it weren't for Mrs. An knowing what kind of character Wen was, I'm afraid she would really believe it.
Hearing this, Mrs. An lowered her eyes and said lightly: "I still believe in Miao Ling's skills, and there will be no accident, and Mrs. is afraid that her worries are wrong." ”
"But there's always something in case." Wen's expression of surprise appeared. looked at Mrs. An with wide eyes slightly, and her words seemed to reveal something.
Mrs. Ann's brow furrowed tighter and tighter as she stared at Wen, the light from her pupils full of warning.
"Wen, what do you mean?"
Wen took out a handkerchief and dipped it on the corner of his mouth, as if he had touched something dirty.
"I don't understand when you say this, I'm a woman, what else can I do? Besides, Miao Ling is my daughter, where will I target her? ”
Wen said as he spoke, with a sad expression on his face, as if he had been greatly wronged and wronged.
But Mrs. An looked at it, but the warning in her eyes became stronger and stronger, Wen continued to talk to herself as if she hadn't heard it: "Mrs. An, don't wronged me, I didn't do anything, this game will start soon, let's wait and see." ”
After Wen finished speaking, he turned around and left, like a light breeze, not taking away a single cloud.
Looking at Wen's back, Mrs. An's eyes narrowed slightly.
Fortunately, she had already informed Miao Ling in advance and asked her to be more careful. No matter what Wen Shi does, she will deal with it in advance, and she believes that with Miaoling's brain, she will be able to survive it safely.
Thinking so, Mrs. Ann drank another cup of tea.
Wen, who returned to his seat, sat there honestly and never moved again.
Today's hunting conference is said to be hunting, but in fact, secretly, it also has the meaning of blind dates for noble ladies and sons.
Of course, the princess and princess who have not yet married are also among them.
With such a great opportunity, Qu Miaoling looked around, but did not find Wen Qingruo's figure.
Wen Qingruo secretly promised her second brother Min Tianfang, hinted in front of her more than once, and asked people to go to the house to find Mrs. An to make it clear, but Mrs. An didn't let go.
Wang had no choice but to rest.
The situation on the hunting ground is unpredictable, and it is full of crises.
Just now, the princes also entered the hunting ground to get acquainted with it, and as leaders, they can still be trusted.
A group of people rode in, and the forest was so dense with trees that it was difficult for the sun to shine in.
But it is in the depths of such a dense forest that it is easiest to breed all kinds of rare birds and beasts.
White tigers, white tigers, sika deer, and many beasts that represent auspicious meanings all inhabit here.
It is precisely because there are so many wild beasts in this jungle that people are injured and some die at the hunting meeting every year. But everyone is still eager for this, after all, this is a great opportunity for them to show their faces in front of the emperor and the prince, and no one wants to miss it easily.
Manager Su gave an order, and all the contestants rode into the hunting grounds.
After they left, the emperor also changed his clothes and rode a horse to follow in, Queen Mu Wanshu hesitated to stop, but the emperor refused: "What? Am I not as good as those young people? ”
As soon as the emperor said this, the queen didn't dare to say anything anymore, so she had to tell the people around the emperor, "You must protect the saint, if something happens to the emperor, you will come to see him." ”
The guards responded one after another.
The emperor flicked his sleeves, "What's the matter, the queen looks down on me?"
The emperor was also born on horseback, and his ability to make a horse is unique. Back then, he was also the object of everyone's pursuit on the hunting ground, and now the queen's words show that she looks down on him. The emperor was not happy, and stabbed directly.
Where did the queen dare to reply, shut up immediately.
The emperor flicked his whip, and the horse galloped past, and the queen standing in front of the horse was almost blown down by the strong wind.
"Queen Mother, are you alright?" The maid behind him hurriedly came over to help, but was pushed away by the queen.
"Rubbish!"
The maids were silent and did not dare to speak.
After everyone entered the horse farm, a rabbit suddenly popped out not far away. Yuan Qiongyu hurriedly asked the horse to stop, and the horse neighed.
"Qu Miaoling, do you dare to compete with me?"
"How to compare?" Qu Miaoling immediately returned to the Tao and tried in front of everyone, she had nothing to fear.
"Just this rabbit, whoever shoots it wins?" Yuan Qiongyu said that she pulled her bow and arrows, and she didn't even have a chance to prepare for Qu Miaoling.
Yuan Qiongyu's arrow had just been shot out, and Qu Miaoling also shot an arrow quickly.
"Whoosh".
Yuan Qiongyu shouted loudly, "The prey is mine, and I won." ”
After that, she glanced at Qu Miaoling defiantly, and the contempt in her eyes turned into water.
"How? Qu Miaoling, willing to gamble and lose? ”
