Chapter 535: Paddock Camp
Several ladies in the harem of this autumn conference will follow the royal car to go together, only the queen mother guards the harem and does not participate in this autumn conference.
In previous years, the Queen Mother would also participate in the Autumn Festival, when the Queen Mother was still the queen. The Autumn Hunting Conference is nominally an abnormal royal hunting conference, but in fact it is a time for the princes to express themselves, fight openly and secretly, and compete for fame and fortune.
Now that the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, Xie Junze has no prince under his knees, and Xie Junze has no brothers who can still participate in this autumn meeting. King Jin is still outside, not in Kyoto.
Therefore, this autumn conference has almost become a dispensable autumn outing, without the turbulence of the previous Anbo.
The Queen Mother is not very interested in those things that compete for fame and fortune now, and the Queen Mother is not very willing to participate in this kind of thing that wants to go to the wild to show her face in the wind and sun.
So he simply used his age and unwillingness to work as an excuse to stay in the harem to guard the rear.
Xie Junze was still happy when he knew that the Queen Mother would not participate, and it was just what he wanted if the old lady didn't go.
At that time, other concubines in the harem helped Xie Junze drag down the ministers who wanted to stuff their daughters into the harem, and Xie Junze himself brought Jiang Baizhu to match Luo Yu and Princess Hefeng.
It can also enhance each other's feelings, leave more good memories for each other, and solve two love rivals.
It's beautiful when you think about it.
"Are you all packed?" Xie Junze came to the outside of Jiang Baizhu's dormitory and looked at Jiang Baizhu, who had changed into civilian clothes, so beautiful and lovely.
"It's all packed, and we're ready to go when the hour comes. Why did the emperor come over? Jiang Baizhu obediently put his little hand on the big hand that Xie Junze stretched out towards him.
"What? Don't want me to come over? Xie Junze held Jiang Baizhu with one hand, and nodded affectionately on Jiang Baizhu's little nose with the other hand.
"Shouldn't the emperor be preparing to set off with the courtiers at this time?" Jiang Baizhu wrinkled his itchy nose and asked.
"Those old fellows have nothing to keep them company, I don't want to go with them all the way. I just want to be with my beautiful little white bamboo, who has come to invite you to ride in the same carriage with me. Xie Junze took Jiang Baizhu's hand and was about to leave.
"Ah, will the ministers talk about the emperor because of this?" Jiang Baizhu said with some worry.
Generally, only the queen can ride with the emperor, and she is only a concubine, how can she be so overstepping?
"I say that if I can, I can, see who dares to say more. Not to mention that I don't have a queen now, even if there is a queen in the future, it can only be my little white bamboo. Xie Junze's momentum rose when he said this, and it was an aura that only an emperor could have.
Jiang Baizhu is like a little star in his eyes for such a Xie Junze, and such love words can also be said with momentum.
"Well, I'll go with the emperor." Jiang Baizhu also nodded heavily because of Xie Junze's attitude, as if he was responding to Xie Junze's promise.
She was willing to stand by him
side, always with him, whenever he wants.
The long line finally set off, and Jiang Baizhu accompanied Xie Junze to sit in the carriage in the middle.
There are many important ministers of the court and the families of those courtiers who participated in the Autumn Festival this time, so the security work must be done well.
What's more, there are also the emperor and the concubines of the harem in this team, and the safety issue is even more important.
Although the horses pulling the cart are all good horses that can travel thousands of miles a day, because of the long queue of the carriage, they can only move forward slowly.
Finally, at dusk, the convoy arrived at the royal enclosure in the northern suburbs of Kyoto.
The steward of the royal enclosure had already set up camp early in the morning and waited for this greeting.
After a busy period of encampment, the people in the paddock who had been prepared for a long time and the people who came with the masters were quickly cleaned up.
With the emperor's tent as the center, there are several tents of palace concubines in the south, some officials' daughters in the west, basically some military generals' tents in the east, and most of the civil servants in the south.
Twenty miles further north of the camp is the paddock, which has long been home to some fairly docile animals, such as wild deer, hares, roe deer and other small animals.
This is the closest enclosure to Kyoto, and the area is not very large, the entire enclosure covers no more than 100 hectares.
After crossing this paddock, continue to walk north for another 500 miles, and you will arrive at the largest hunting ground in the Great Xuan Kingdom.
The hunting ground was not only open to the royal family, as it covered a large area of almost the entire forest, which was almost 1,000 hectares.
If you calculate it carefully, it is larger than the average small city.
Similarly, there were many more beasts in that hunting ground than in the royal hunting grounds.
Once during the lifetime of the emperor, many autumn festivals were held in that large enclosure.
However, the large enclosure is a bit far from Kyoto, and there are many fierce animals, so it is easy for people to be injured by wild beasts due to carelessness in hunting.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows in their hearts that those who are injured in the hunting ground are not necessarily injured by wild animals or people.
Of course, these are just words that everyone knows but never says.
In the first few years of Xie Junze's accession to the throne, because the former emperor was old, he would also choose this smaller royal enclosure during the autumn season.
It's a little closer to Kyoto and a little safer at the same time.
In fact, there have been many inexplicable incidents of beasts hurting people in this royal hunting ground, but what the truth is, it is up to the wise to see what the wisdom is.
What happened in previous years doesn't matter anymore, after all, it's not the time for the emperor to reign now. Now the emperor in charge is Xie Junze, and this country has gradually stabilized under Xie Junze during this period of time.
Those political party figures who opposed Xie Junze in the past were also used by Xie Junze in various ways
The handling was solved.
This time, Xie Junze wanted to take Jiang Baizhu to participate in the Autumn Festival, so the preparations were also very sufficient.
Let's just say that the safety problems in this paddock can be said to be leaky, and there will definitely be no mistakes.
However, there are no absolutes in the world, even if this time it has been arranged very carefully, but Xie Junze still has to focus on Jiang Baizhu's safety in everything, and he has been protecting Jiang Baizhu from Jiang Baizhu's side since he came to the royal paddock.
When he was in the palace, although Jiang Baizhu could see Xie Junze almost every day, Xie Junze also tried his best to spend time with Jiang Baizhu to eat every meal.
But after all, he is in the palace, Xie Junze still has a lot of things to deal with, and he can't ignore the thoughts of people outside the palace. Although both of them are in the palace, they can't accompany each other all the time.
