Chapter 9: Autumn Hunting (1)

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, preparations for the autumn hunt began to be made in various parts of the palace, and the address dates were the same as in previous years, and before departure, news came out from the court that the protons sent by the barbarians had arrived in Kyoto.

In the imperial garden in early autumn, the peony peony has been replaced by autumn chrysanthemum, Jinghan looked east and west, and said a little boringly, "How long is this autumn hunt?" I'm getting impatient to wait. Huh! Third sister, have you heard? The protons sent by the barbarians have all arrived in Kyoto. ”

"Really?" Jing Ci picked up a pot of white chrysanthemum and looked at it carefully, and said casually.

"Yes, yes," Jing Han saw that she was not interested, and said busily, "I heard from the second brother, this barbarian's proton is very good-looking!" ”

The palace people behind him looked at each other and smiled when they heard this, and Jing Ci also held back a smile, "Which cousin told you last time that General Xiao Qi looked better than Pan An?" ”

"Stop talking! I have already written to tell my eldest brother about the situation, but he also said that when he saw Cousin Shan in the southwest, Cousin Shan was only fourteen years old, and it was when his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he couldn't tell the difference, besides," she pulled out a chrysanthemum leaf, and said indignantly, "This time the second brother saw it with his own eyes!" ”

"Saw it with your own eyes? Where is it? ”

"You don't know about this," Jing Han threw away the leaves, approached Jing Ci's ear, and said with a smile, "This proton entered Beijing yesterday, and the emperor's grandfather sent a waiter from the Ministry of Rites to entertain him, and the second brother secretly followed to see the excitement," she took Jing Ci and walked two steps quickly, looked left and right and said, "I also heard the second brother say, the imperial grandfather said that because of the big victory over the barbarians, this year's autumn hunt will be more grand, so I ordered the proton not to rush into the palace, first live in the Sifang Pavilion, and then enter the palace after the autumn hunt." ”

"This ......"

"What's more, the barbarian convoy that sent protons to Beijing drove away last night, and now he is staying alone in the Sifang Pavilion."

"The barbarians are his own people, how can they behave like this?" Jing Ci raised his eyebrows.

"Who knows," said Jing Ci again, "but I have heard that the biological mother of this great prince is not a barbarian, and he was extremely unfavored from birth. This time, my uncle and grandfather captured the two princes of the barbarians on the battlefield, but the barbarians sent him as a proton, which can be seen. ”

"That's right," Jing Ci nodded, "Since ancient times, there has been no prince who has been a proton of another country to inherit the throne, and now he can be regarded as abandoned by the barbarian royal family." ”

Jing Han also nodded, and then said, "Oh, what's the point of saying this?" Third sister, when he enters the palace, let's ......"

"Don't think!" Jing Ci opened his mouth to interrupt her, pretending to be stern, "Forget it outside the palace, do you dare to be presumptuous in the palace?" ”

"Okay, okay, just don't look at it!" Jing Han smiled and begged for mercy, and reached out to pull her again, saying as he walked, "Third sister, this autumn hunt, you are in the carriage in the palace, or is it from King Ling's mansion?" ”

"It's all right, what?"

"Third sister, then let's call Ruowei to sit in Ling Wang's Mansion together," she leaned lazily on Jing Ci and said, "The carriage of Ling Wang's Mansion is big and soft, and it is more comfortable than the one in the palace!" ”

On the day of the autumn hunt, the three of them really sat in the carriage of King Ling's Mansion together, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else in the carriage, Jing Han lay down with a grin, and said, "The emperor's grandfather really loves the third sister the most, this carriage is not needed by the third sister on weekdays, but it is also repaired so well, the car I often sit in in King Hui's mansion, the paint is about to fall off." ”

As she spoke, she took another piece of hibiscus cake from the table and said while eating, "The dim sum is also delicious, better than the one in the imperial dining room." ”

Lin Ruowei said with a smile, "There are so many words while eating, you should fight!" ”

When Jing Han heard this, he smiled and got up to pull her, and the two fell together, but saw Jing Ci sitting by the window, lifting the curtain and not knowing where to look.

Lin Ruowei pointed at her and whispered to Jing Han, "Look at Ah Ci, I'm stunned." ”

Jing Han also whispered back, "The third sister has been like this for the past two days, and my mother said that the third sister is the daughter's family, and she has something on her mind!" ”

The two of them whispered with their heads on their heads, and Jing Ci turned around and said, "Okay, you two, what are you talking about behind my back!" ”

Jing Han immediately betrayed Lin Ruowei and said, "Third sister! If you say that you want to be a little lover! ”

"You!"

"You!"

When Jing Ci and Lin Ruowei heard this, they invariably stretched out their hands to grab her, and heard her whisper, "I heard my mother say that Cousin Yibai has liked the third sister for a long time!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the carriage, and Jing Han knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly explained, "No, no, I ...... Third sister, I'm sorry. ”

Lin Ruowei also said, "This is presumptuous, you can't talk nonsense," and grabbed Jing Ci's hand and said, "Don't be angry, she said it casually." ”

"I didn't, I didn't talk nonsense." Jing Han looked at Lin Ruowei's warning gaze and explained in a low voice.

"I'm not angry," Jing said sullenly, "I, I'm ......"

She hung her head, and suddenly remembered the beautiful river lamp, and before leaving, she asked Fluffie to put it in her bedroom.

"Third sister," Jing Han moved over and leaned on her affectionately, and said in a low voice, "Cousin Yibai is fine, I heard my mother say that he has been pleasing you for many years." ”

"Many years?" Jing Ci asked sideways.

"Hmm!" Jing Han nodded vigorously, "Mother said that it was Cousin Yibai who said it personally, what can I never forget at first sight, and," she glanced at Lin Ruowei and said, "Cousin Yibai is smart, I don't believe you asked Ruowei!" ”

Lin Ruowei thought for a moment, and sure enough, he also said, "Yes, I have also heard that this Jiang Gongzi won the first place in the scientific examination the year before last, and even my father said that his intelligence and talent are not inferior to Master Chen Su." ”

Jing Ci's expression loosened a little, and he said, "But I ...... it."

"Oh, third sister, what do you like?" Jing Han asked, this time even Lin Ruowei was curious, and they all looked at her straightly.

Jing Ci's face turned red suddenly, and many pictures appeared in her mind chaotically, one was the thin young man with a red face on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, the other was the river lantern standing on top of all the gifts, and then it became the loving and majestic faces of the queen mother and Princess Hui, and finally, they all transformed into a strong and powerful arm.

It was Qi Shan's arm, she couldn't get into the carriage that day, it was Qi Shan who stretched out his hand to let her support it.

Her face slowly calmed down, and she said slowly but clearly, "I...... I don't like Jiang Gongzi. ”

"Huh?"

Jing Han spoke out suspiciously, she and Lin Ruowei looked at each other, and after a while, Lin Ruowei said cautiously, "Why?" ”

"I have someone I like," Jing Ci looked up and said firmly in their stunned gaze, "I don't like Jiang Gongzi!" I...... I have people I like. ”
