Chapter 129: On the eve of the hunting convention
In the blink of an eye, late autumn has passed, and early winter has entered.
The weather is getting cooler, and with the arrival of winter, preparations for the annual hunting tournament have begun.
And the harem concubines who can follow Yan Qinghan to the hunting conference this year have not yet been selected, but everyone knows in their hearts that the queen must be among them, and the rest of the candidates will depend on whether they can earn this opportunity.
It is conceivable that such a thing must be indispensable to Fang Lanzhi.
In the hunting conferences over the years, in addition to some dignitaries and nobles to follow, they will also bring two or three imperial concubines with them, but Yan Qinghan does not have many concubines in the harem, so in the past, he would bring whichever one was designated by the Queen Mother Lu Lan, but now it is different from the past, he only plans to take Du Ruosheng alone this year.
When Fang Lanzhi learned of Yan Qinghan's decision, she was furious, when he was not Yan Qinghan's concubine in the previous hunting, Yan Qinghan would name King Gaoping to take her, but she didn't expect that now, even she was dismissed, which made her unacceptable.
However, before Fang Lanzhi could make a move, Du Ruosheng found Yan Qinghan first and mentioned the matter to him.
In Weiyang Palace, Yan Qinghan and Du Ruosheng were in the main hall.
"Your Majesty, the hunting conference should let the noble concubine go with you." Du Ruosheng said.
"I've decided to take you alone, so why should I bring someone unrelated."
The hunting conference was the only opportunity to stay away from these people who gave them a headache on weekdays, but they didn't think that Du Ruosheng would also bring Laneige at this time.
"The emperor's hunting conference has always been accompanied by many official eunuchs, and naturally King Gaoping is indispensable, this King Gaoping is present but does not see the concubine, it is really unreasonable."
Besides, with Fang Lanzhi's temperament, now that she knows that the hunting conference will not let her go with her, it is estimated that she will not be able to sit still.
"When I decide depends on their faces!?" Yan Qing said in a solemn voice.
"Your Majesty, forgive the concubines for saying more, King Gaoping's actions in the court that day, no one seems to be a loyal move, if the emperor doesn't think so at this time, it will inevitably fall into the hands of others."
Not long after Yan Qinghan took power, it should have been the time to win over the people's hearts, and although King Gaoping was separated from him, others did not know about it, and his actions that day undoubtedly made others testify to his loyalty, as for Yan Qinghan to believe him or not, he didn't care at all, all he had to do was to block the mouths of the people, what Du Ruosheng said was reasonable, and it was indeed reasonable.
If you really don't let the concubine go with you, then King Gaoping will definitely say something about this matter, rather than the many displeasures born at that time, it is better to be patient for the time being, anyway, take it with you, and just ignore it.
"Then listen to the queen and let the concubine go along."
Seeing that Yan Qinghan was relieved, Du Ruosheng's expression was also a lot more relaxed, so that there would be fewer unnecessary incidents.
Soon, the news of letting the concubine hunt with her spread to the Xiukang Palace, and Fang Lanzhi was happy when she found out.
"Bend, quickly bring the newly made palace clothes from the division room for the palace, and the palace will bring it, and then the palace will show off its style at the hunting conference." Let's do it
"Yes, sis. The slave maid said that how could the emperor forget Niangniang, and he would not leave Niangniang in the palace this year. ”
Fang Lanzhi was still angry and angry because he couldn't go to the hunting conference just now, but after a moment, he was already smiling, and he was even happier when he heard Wan'er's words.
It's just that no matter how fancy she dresses up at the hunting conference, no one will pay attention to her, she doesn't know that she was the focus of discussion in the previous hunting conferences, obviously hunting, but she was dressed up like she was going to the draft, which was ridiculous.
The hunting meeting is imminent, and the accompanying team of soldiers and horses also has the personal guards led by Xiaoyi.
Last time, Jiang Lingzhou gave Yan Qinghan a reply, he couldn't ignore the Jiang family, so he chose to delegate power, and Yan Qinghan would not change anything because of his choice, he knew Jiang Lingzhou's hardships, but he didn't know that Jiang Lingzhou chose the Jiang family, not because Yan Qinghan was not important to him, but because he didn't want Xiaoyi to embarrass Yan Qinghan again.
After meeting Xiaoyi that day, Jiang Lingzhou knew that taking over all the power of the dark soldiers was Xiaoyi's real purpose, Jiang Lingzhou didn't care if these people he had personally cultivated were obedient to him, he only cared about what Xiaoyi and they had to do was to protect Yan Qinghan's thoughtfulness, not for another purpose.
It's a pity that the Queen Mother Lu Lan of the hunting conference did not participate, otherwise for Xiaoyi, this is a good opportunity to assassinate her, Xiaoyi is waiting now, waiting for a ripe time.
There is another person who is accompanied by this hunting conference, that is, the daughter of Prime Minister Xia - Xia Zhiyi, this time she will go along, it stands to reason that the emperor will not bring the daughter of the courtiers with him for hunting, but this is the Empress Dowager Lu Lan personally opened her mouth to pass on the message to Yan Qinghan, Yan Qinghan naturally will not disobey her, and Yan Qinghan has never been strict with Xia Zhiyi, and she is quite good friends with Du Ruosheng, so there is nothing wrong with her.
Xia Zhiyi entered the palace early in the morning, and at this moment she was about to go to the Huaqing Palace to visit Du Ruosheng, but by coincidence, she just walked to the Imperial Garden and met Xiaoyi, who was about to rush to the Chongzheng Palace to discuss the maintenance of the hunting trip.
This is also the second time the two have met, but the first time they have passed each other, so the impression may not be profound, and this time, when Xia Zhiyi saw Xiaoyi again, she was so surprised that she actually stopped him, "You..."
It's just that as soon as she blurted out the words, she regretted it, she opened her mouth unconsciously, and at this time, Xiaoyi had already stopped and turned around, looking at herself, "The girl called me again?" ”
Xia Zhiyi looked around, there were other people here besides them, and then nodded, "What did the girl call me?" But got lost in this palace? ”
Hearing Xiaoyi say this, Xia Zhiyi stepped down from the stage and nodded again and again, "Well, I want to go to Huaqing Palace, I don't know if I'm going from this direction?" ”
Hearing the three words of Huaqing Palace, Xiaoyi was obviously stunned, but in a flash, he quickly looked at the woman in front of him, dressed in moon white clothes, with snow feather shoulders, wearing a milky white satin skirt mixed with red powder, embroidered with water patterns and nameless colors, and pointing to many gold and silver lines of snow-white fluff irregularly.
This dress is not an ordinary woman at first glance, "Dare to ask who the girl is?" When you go to Huaqing Palace, do you want to find the queen? Xiaoyi asked rhetorically.
"The little girl is the daughter of Prime Minister Xia Jueyi, and she came to the palace for the hunting conference, and she wanted to visit the queen, but she didn't want to get lost." Xia Zhiyi introduced himself gently and politely.
"It turned out to be the prime minister's daughter, there were many abrupt just now, in Xia Xiaoyi, he was the general of the Korean army, and he was a mixed pearl in the palace, so it was better to be cautious."
"General Xiao is good, General Xiao is also conscientious, and it is a blessing for the imperial brother to have a general like you." When she heard the name Xiaoyi, Xia Zhiyi's memory was in a trance, this name was very familiar, she seemed to have heard it somewhere, and the person in front of him also gave him a sense of déjà vu.
"Miss Xia can go in this direction, I can't accompany you if I have something to do." Xiaoyi said softly.
"General Xiao, go quickly, don't let the imperial brother wait."
Then the two left in opposite directions, standing on their backs.
