"The mourning family can see that Heng'er really likes you, and the way he looks at you is exactly the same as the way the emperor looked at Qi Ji back then." A trace of sadness appeared on Empress Dowager Bo's face, "Only this kind of look is true love, and it will not fade with time." The Emperor had never looked at the rest of us like this, so when he wanted to drop it, he dropped it, without a trace of attachment to speak of. But Qi Ji is different, no matter how long it has passed, the emperor's eyes on her have never changed, this is called love, and the rest of us get only favor. ”

Similar words, Xu Meiren once said this, Yifang remembered it very deeply, she didn't understand it at the time, but now it seems that she understands a little. It's just that she has no virtue and how can she feel that Liu Heng loves her like this, obviously she is just a meticulous work, a monitor full of lies.

"Queen Mother, what should the concubine do?" Yifang's mind was a little confused.

"It's up to you, but whatever you choose, if you gain something, you lose something. But as long as you think about it and you don't regret it in the future, it's all worth it. After the Queen Mother said this, she stood up, "That's what the mourning family wants to say to you, the wind is a little cold this night, go back!" ”

"No."

The night banquet did not disperse because of the departure of the queen mother, there was rarely such a big banquet in the palace, everyone couldn't bear to leave, so they gathered together, talking or drinking, it was a peaceful scene.

"The queen mother, my son specially ordered someone to prepare a sobering soup, drink some of it!" As soon as Empress Dowager Bo returned to the banquet, Liu Heng asked people to send the decanting soup.

"Heng'er has a heart."

Liu Heng and the Queen Mother said a few more words, and then found Yifang's figure in the crowd, only to see her brows furrowed, as if she was thinking about something. The Queen Mother stayed with her outside for so long just now, and I don't know what they said. It was normal for the Queen Mother to come back, but Yifang looked very depressed, even if she wanted to hide her emotions as much as possible, Liu Heng also keenly captured this.

"Yifang, what's wrong?" Liu Heng walked up to her and asked.

"The concubine is fine." Yifang replied casually, and seeing his look of disbelief, he said more, "It's just that I was blowing the wind outside with the Queen Mother, and now I have a headache, so the king doesn't have to worry." ”

"You don't look like you have a headache, it seems to give people a feeling of being preoccupied."

"No, the concubine may have drunk more wine today, so her expression is a little trance-like." Yi Fang pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.

"Is that really it? If you have any matters on your mind, boldly tell this king, and this king will make decisions for you. Liu Heng half-jokingly coaxed her.

Yifang shook his head firmly: "The king is so good to the concubine, how can the concubine have any heart?" ”

"This king wants to be better to you."

"Your Majesty, today is the Queen Mother's birthday, you should talk to the Queen Mother." Yifang saluted him, "The concubine is a little dizzy, so let's go back to the palace first." ”

"It's okay, after the banquet is over in a while, this king will go to Guangyang Hall to accompany you."

Yifang shook his head again and again: "The concubine is unwell today and can't serve the king." The concubine thought that the king hadn't been with the queen for a while, so let's go to the queen to rest tonight! ”

Liu Heng stared at her for a while, and suddenly frowned: "Yifang, did the queen mother tell you something?" ”

"No, the concubine was just discussing the story of the jade wine with the queen mother, and didn't mention anything else." Yifang always denied it, and Liu Heng couldn't say anything more, so he let her go back to the palace.

Leaving the table early and returning to Guangyang Palace, Yifang felt that the whole person was tired and panicked. obviously didn't do anything, but after talking to the Queen Mother, I always felt uncomfortable in my heart. Listening to the meaning of the Queen Mother, she wanted her to make a choice, and the example was the former emperor's Mrs. Qi. The Queen Mother wanted her to choose, whether she would die miserably after half her life was as brilliant as Mrs. Qi, or live a dull life in the harem, but she could live a stable life.

In fact, these two items are not available to Yifang, if she is just an ordinary harem concubine, she has the right to choose. But she is not, she is still carrying her brother's life, if she accidentally goes astray, she doesn't care herself, if she makes Shaojun pay for her mistakes, it will be the saddest thing.

"Beauty, what's wrong with you?" Teng Ling looked at her face on the side, and also asked, "Ever since you came back after going out with the Queen Mother, you have been in such a trance." The king is right, you must have something on your mind. ”

"Tengling, I'm fine." Yifang changed the topic, "Of those kites we made last time, how many of them with words have not been released?" ”

After flying the kite with Liu Heng last time, Yifang found an opportunity to release two more of them, and it should not have been completely released yet.

Teng Ling thought about it in his heart for a while, and replied: "There is only the last one, release the last one, and the message to be delivered will be considered complete." ”

"You get that kite ready, ready to fly at any time."

"No."

Yifang soon ushered in the opportunity to fly a kite, which was the annual Muzhou Hunt. Liu Heng can take his concubines with him when he goes out hunting, and the Queen Mother will also go with him a few years ago, but now he has no interest, and only the concubines designated by Liu Heng go hunting together.

According to the current degree of favor of Yifang, it is natural to bring it. In addition, the queen was worried about Liu Heng's safety, so she also went together. And Mrs. Cao has always been frail, Du Bazi has to take care of her daughter, Yuan Bazi has no interest in hunting, and the only one who can follow the past is Wen Jiayi. Wan Bazi is still in prison, and Qi Shao's status is low, and the only ones who finally decided to go to Muzhou to hunt are the queen, Yifang and Wen Jiayi.

"Yifang, I heard that this Muzhou hunt is very grand, and it will be at least ten days when you go!" Zili cleaned up the bed and said to Yifang.

"Yes, in the past ten days and half a month, we don't have to be stuffy in the palace, just think about it!" Tengling has been going on for two days in a row, and he can't sleep happily for this time out of the palace.

"Don't just hang out, we still have something to do!" Yifang motioned for the two of them to sit down and talk.

"What's the matter?"

"Since it's hunting, it's naturally outside the palace." Yifang smiled slyly, "It will be more convenient for us to fly kites outside the palace." ”

"yes, and the last kite! This hunting trip is just in time to release it, so the news is complete. ”

"Yes, after the matter is done, you can really have a good time outside the palace. It has been some time since I arrived in Daiguo, and I haven't understood the sophistication of the people here. Last time, I just walked around the streets for a short time, but this time I have more time to get a good feel for it. Yifang remembered the scene outside the palace, so he quietly took out the jade pendant he picked up that time. It would be even better if he would go out and be lucky enough to meet the woman and return the jade pendant to her.

The hunt of Muzhou is said to be hunting, but it should actually be regarded as a competition. This is exactly the opportunity for a man with a skill to show himself, if he is favored by Liu Heng in the hunt, he can directly enter the court as an official. Among them, it is not only the accompanying officials and generals who participate in the hunt, but also the people who spontaneously organize themselves, and if they are capable and outstanding, they can get corresponding rewards.

Yifang inquired about these relevant news early, so as not to be at a loss for hunting at that time. It's just that she was born in a farmer's family, and when she was young, she was okay with fishing and shrimp, but when she encountered real hunting, she could only watch from the sidelines. However, Liu Heng seemed to intend to let her learn, and when the specific departure date of Muzhou's hunt was determined, he would come to Guangyang Hall early to find Yifang.

"The king should be very busy in the past few days in order to prepare for the hunt in Muzhou, how can he have time to come to Guangyang Palace?" Yi Fang asked casually while helping him take off his coat.

"This king is here this time for hunting." Eternity didn't have time to sit down, so he hurriedly said to Yifang.

Yifang fell into doubt: "The hunt of Muzhou is a matter of the court, and the king should discuss it with the ministers, how could he come to find a concubine?" ”

"The specific matters of hunting, this king has discussed with several ministers, and this time I came here to let you go hunting with this king."

Yifang smiled indifferently: "The accompanying list has already been sent by the eunuchs, and the concubine should be going to follow the emperor together." ”

Liu Heng waved his hand: "What this king means is to let you and this king ride on horses and gallop in the hunting ground." ”

"What?" Yifang was suddenly startled, "The king said that the concubine didn't know how to ride a horse, let alone hunt on a horse." ”

"What's so hard about that? This king teaches you that. Liu Heng smiled freely, his eyes revealed a bit of seriousness, he was obviously not joking.

Yifang frowned: "But now it's not a few days before the day of Muzhou's hunting, how can the concubine learn in such a short time?" I'm afraid that it will make people laugh at that time. ”

"Since this king said that he would teach you, he will naturally let you learn." Liu Heng was full of confidence, and he couldn't help shouting outside the door, "Wu Ping, bring things in." ”

As soon as the words fell, Wu Ping asked some little eunuchs to rush in with a bunch of things, all of which were used for horseback riding. In addition to Liu Heng's specially tailored riding clothes for Yifang, there are also small saddles and whips, everything is available.

"Is the king serious?" Yifang looked at this time.

Liu Heng nodded confirmatively: "This king has already arranged the affairs of the next few days, and he will take some time out to teach you every day, so be sure that you can learn to be like this before hunting." ”

Yifang was as interested as him, and it was not easy to refute his intentions, so he reluctantly nodded and agreed.

"The concubine is willing to give it a try, but if she doesn't learn well, the king shouldn't think the concubine is stupid."

"Yifang has always been smart, and riding a horse is naturally a good thing to learn." Liu Heng scratched her nose, his eyes full of smiles.
