Chapter 268: A New Way to Play
It was night, and the people sent by King Rui to hunt had already returned, looking at the pheasants and hares in their hands, Gu Yunxin couldn't help but lick his lips.
These wild meats have been eaten before, but Gu Yunxin knew that hunting was hard work, so he didn't mention it to King Rui, otherwise with King Rui's favor for him, maybe he would have to send someone to hunt for her every day.
However, since it is game, it is still necessary to taste it once in a while, and if you eat it every day, it will be boring.
"Your Majesty, these wild foods are really good, it's really hard for King Rui." Concubine Jin leaned on the emperor's arms and said coquettishly.
"Tell me which one you like, and I'll let someone hunt some more." The emperor doted.
"Your Majesty, look, what's roasted over there? It seems to taste good. Concubine Jin still said delicately.
Concubine Jin's style, Queen Xiao and several concubines on the side couldn't help but roll their eyes. "Queen Mother, there is one thing that the concubine doesn't understand, and I ask the mother to make it clear." At this time, Concubine Qing, who was sitting not far away, said with a smile.
"If there's anything my sister doesn't understand, just say it directly, we don't need to be so polite between sisters." Empress Xiao gently stroked the hair on her sideburns and said.
"The queen mother, the concubine was taught to guide the mother before entering the palace, and after entering the palace, she must keep to herself and know how to respect and humility, and now the concubine is a little confused, does the respect and humility in this palace still exist?"
Hearing this, Queen Xiao knew in her heart, and then hooked her lips and smiled, "Of course it exists, why does my sister ask this?" ”
"In the autumn hunt of previous years, my sister was also fortunate to follow, the emperor has always been accompanied by his mother, this time ......"
How did you become a concubine this time? Where did you put the queen? As soon as Concubine Qing said this, the accompanying officials and family members began to discuss.
The emperor's face suddenly turned pale, and Concubine Jin also stared at Concubine Qing angrily. He sat next to the emperor next to her, what happened to Concubine Qing? Didn't the queen say anything? She's so troubled.
"Your Majesty, the concubines should return to their seats, you see, Concubine Qing and the queen are no longer satisfied." Concubine Jin sobbed softly.
"It doesn't matter, this country is mine, whoever I want to accompany me, let whoever I want to accompany, no one can care." The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly.
The emperor's approach made the entourage even more dumbfounded, the emperor has always been wise and martial, how could it become like this?
"Brother Huang......" King Kang originally wanted to persuade a few words, but King Rui hurriedly gave him a look and made King Kang give up his actions.
"King Kang...... Do you have anything to say? The emperor looked at King Kang and said.
"Uh......, the younger brother wants to say that the younger brother should have roasted the wild roe deer when he saw it, and now the imperial brother should taste it while it's hot." King Kang said with a smile.
"Roe deer meat, huh...... I haven't eaten it in a long time, so I'll get some. The Emperor said with a smile.
King Kang then left his seat, walked to the rack where the roasted roe deer was roasted, and instructed the eunuch to cut off some of the meat from the roe deer.
When the wild roe deer meat emperor and King Kang were young, they also hunted and ate when they fought on the battlefield together, and they still remember that when they marched and fought in the short supply of food and grass, they took a few generals to hunt game in the mountains to satisfy their hunger.
King Kang's intention is to awaken the memory of the emperor and the king, after all, when their brothers fought together on the battlefield, how good the relationship was, but unfortunately, the stars have changed, and the hearts of the people have changed.
The monarch and the minister are different, and they want to be as close as before. After all, the authority of the monarch is unpredictable, and once there is any dissatisfaction, the emperor will not allow anyone to challenge the unique authority.
"Well, this wild roe deer meat is very delicious, Aifei, you can taste it too." The emperor personally picked up a piece of wild roe deer meat and fed it to Concubine Jin's mouth.
Concubine Jin took a bite of wild roe deer meat and chewed it slowly, this wild roe deer meat was indeed very delicious. I thought that the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace were already very good, but I didn't expect that the game in the mountains was even more likable.
At this moment, King Jing walked in front of the emperor with a bottle of wine, and said: "Brother Huang, hunting today, my brother has a suggestion, I don't know if Brother Huang is interested in hearing it?" ”
"Oh? If there is any new way, you might as well talk about it. The Emperor leaned back in his seat and said with his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Brother Huang's usual autumn hunting is for everyone to see who has the most prey and who wins, in previous years, King Rui won, this good thing can't all be taken by King Rui alone, right? If you play differently this year, there may be unexpected surprises. King Jing curled his lips slightly.
"How do you play?" King An said eagerly.
In fact, not only King An, but also many people are like this, they hunt, unless it is King Rui who releases water, otherwise none of them can win, and whoever makes King Rui's archery is unbeatable.
"Brother Chen, I saw that everyone came with their daughters this time, so you might as well let the women take a look." King Jing said with a smile.
As soon as King Jing's words came out, there were many women who were displeased, the Great Zhou is not a martial country, women do not necessarily have to practice martial arts, except for some women who were born in the door, the others are all with embroidery needles, where can they hold a bow and arrow.
King Rui and Gu Yunxin exchanged a look, and Gu Yunxin immediately smiled lightly: "This concubine thinks this is indeed very interesting, just now King Jing said that he would let the female relatives compete, but he didn't say that we must go into battle in person, so this concubine will send Hongxuan to replace the concubine to hunt." ”
When Zhan Xinyue heard this, she immediately got up and said with a smile: "In this case, my sister will borrow Hongling from my sister and let Hongling hunt instead of the Zhan family's daughters, no matter whether she wins or loses, Miss Ben will be rewarded." ”
Hearing this, those young ladies who were born in Jiangmen were a little unhappy in their hearts, they are all noble people, how can they be inferior to them
What about the cheap handmaid competition? Isn't that self-deprecating?
But before they could send it right, someone had already come to borrow the maidservants beside them, after all, there were examples like Gu Yunxin and Zhan Xinyue.
On weekdays, only the masters go hunting, and their entourage can only run behind the butt to pick up the prey, but now they can hunt in person, regardless of whether they are in place of others, they are always very excited.
King Jing originally wanted to introduce these people's female dependents into the mountains and forests, so that they could be tied up one by one, so that they could blackmail their husbands or fathers and brothers, but he didn't expect that Gu Yunxin would come to such a move, and before he could react, many female dependents had already found someone to replace him to hunt.
The gong sounded, and the women rode into the mountains and forests. King Jing looked at the appearance of sitting in the seat with Rui Wang Qingqing and me, and he really hated that he couldn't strangle this woman to death, and just a few words ruined his original plan.
Fortunately, he has other deployments to prevent such emergencies.
King Rui's weakness is Gu Yunxin, as long as Gu Yunxin is in his hands, King Rui will not dare to act rashly.
Then, King Jing lightly touched Zhan Xinlan, Zhan Xinlan picked up the wine glass, and stepped in front of Gu Yunxin, "Sister, my sister knows that you are worried about your sister's happiness, since it is impossible to change now, my sister hopes that you will not be angry anymore." Also, my mother's own eyes are shallow, and sometimes she can't talk to her brains, so it's better to ask my sister not to plan with her? ”
Looking at Zhan Xinlan's sincere gaze, Gu Yunxin finally softened her heart, "Where did my sister say, I was just worried that you would not be happy, at present, King Jing is still good to my sister, but if I want to call you the imperial aunt, I am really a little unaccustomed to it." ”
"Well, then let's call it the way it was, shall we?" Zhan Xinlan smiled lightly.
Then, Zhan Xinlan walked in front of Zhan Xinyue again, said the same thing again, and then the three sisters walked towards the mountain forest together......
King Rui had been watching King Jing just now, and in the blink of an eye, Gu Yunxin disappeared from his sight.
Gu Yunxin, Zhan Xinyue, and Zhan Xinlan walked together in the mountains and forests, this is not a hunting ground, and there are some other female relatives here to chat here.
After all, most of the women have no interest in this hunting matter, and those civil servants can only sit on their seats and accompany the emperor to enjoy singing and dancing.
"That old thing in my house, looking at these kabukis, my eyes are about to fall out." A middle-aged woman in a lake blue robe said angrily.
"Hmph, my family too, I didn't want to come in the first place, but if I don't keep an eye on it, maybe I'll have to bring back a little prodigal hoof." Another woman in a peacock green dress said indignantly.
Hearing everyone say this, Gu Yunxin and Zhan Xinyue couldn't help but pout, these women usually say that this is jealous, that is jealous, but aren't they the same?
What woman in this world doesn't want her husband to love her all the time? Who wants to give his husband to another woman?
"These women only talk about other people on weekdays, and they are not the same?" Zhan Xinlan pouted.
Then, Zhan Xinlan looked at Zhan Xinyue on the side, "Is my sister still angry with King Xiangyang?" If you want me to say, my sister shouldn't leave, didn't you give that Zhang Shuyao a chance when you left like this? ”
"A man who has changed his heart is just as bad as food that has gone bad. Now He Yunhai may be able to treat Sister Xinyue better because of guilt, but if that Zhang Shuyao gives birth to a child, won't my sister still have to fight with her all day long? Gu Yunxin said lightly.
"Yun Xin, my sister knows that King Rui has a deep affection for you, but isn't it normal for this man to have three wives and four concubines? As long as she doesn't leave, the position of Princess Xiangyang is still Sister Xinyue's, why do you need to make that Zhang Shuyao so proud. Zhan Xinlan disagreed.
As soon as the words fell, several black-clothed people suddenly appeared in front of the three of them, and then the cold long swords crossed the necks of the three people.
"Don't shout, come with us honestly, if there is a mistake, Lao Tzu's hand moves, your little life, but you will be lost here." The man smirked.
"Beware of the swords in your hands, don't hurt us, just say what you want, and our husband will give you as much silver as you want." Gu Yunxin said lightly.
"Brothers don't want money, brothers want to rob sex." One of the masked men looked at Gu Yun with a smile on his face.
"What? Robbery? If you dare, I respect the princess! Zhan Xinlan said angrily.
"What is the princess? Wait for a while, the brothers will finish eating, and then exchange you for money, which is really good. ”
