Chapter 82: Autumn Hunting

"From today on, you are the close palace maids of this palace, you are different from other palace maids, and this palace will give you trust that others do not have."

Jiang Wan picked out two pendants from the box brought by Ping'er, and personally tied Huan Yan and Hua Zhi around her waist respectively.

"As long as the power of the palace is still there, it will definitely not treat you badly, and your family will also send people to express condolences regularly."

Jiang Wan naturally knew that such a simple matter would not completely win over their loyalty, and there would always be a chance after getting along for a long time in the future. Ping'er stepped forward and gave each of them a money bag, which contained more silver than their monthly money for half a year.

Huan Yan and Hua Zhi glanced at each other, they had never been treated so well by their masters, just like Xiao Yuan. Ping'er investigated their family backgrounds from the Archives Department, which was very beneficial to Jiang Wan.

"Huan Yan, your family is poor, except for those few acres of thin fields, the whole family needs you to maintain their food and clothing."

"Yes."

"And you also have a young brother, if you don't go to a private school and don't go to the official career, then your brother will be like your parents, guarding that land for a lifetime."

"Since the palace has chosen you, it will naturally understand you, your younger brother has already sent someone to the state-run academy founded by His Majesty before, and he will grow up in the academy to the age of its establishment, and he will be a talent of the Wei State at that time."

"And this palace promised your family ten taels of silver a month, which is enough for them to live a good life."

After Huan Yan heard what Jiang Wan said, her eyes widened, this was something she had never hoped for. When she entered the palace as a palace maid, she was also forced by her family's livelihood, and her younger brother's immature appearance was the greatest hope in her heart. She would save as much money as she could every month, so that one day she could send her brother to study and change his life.

"Huan Yan thanks Concubine Hui Niangniang's gift, Huan Yan is willing to swear with his life, obey Niangniang's order and never give up!"

Huan Yan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jiang Wan, and was hurriedly pulled up by Hiren'er. Although Jiang Wan wants to use them, he is also really good to them, which is the most gratifying thing about Hiren. She was also secretly afraid that Jiang Wan would lose her heart if she joined the palace fight now, but now it seems that Jiang Wan is still the same Jiang Wan she used to be.

"Huazhi, if this palace is right, there is a young man waiting for you outside the palace?"

When Jiang Wan said this, he smiled a little funny, Hua Zhi didn't expect Jiang Wan to say this suddenly, and his cheeks were a little red. This is a secret that she rarely talks to others, and outside the high walls of the palace, there is a childhood sweetheart who is waiting for her to leave the palace when she is old.

"Huazhi doesn't dare to deceive Niangniang, it's true."

"As long as you are loyal to this palace, this palace can make the decision, let you leave the palace at the end of the period in advance, and get a positive result with your sweetheart as soon as possible."

Hua Zhi also reacted with Huan Yan, only high-grade palace maids can leave the palace and return to their hometowns at a certain age, and people like her can only die of old age in the deep palace, or become a victim of palace fighting. Jiang Wan's words were too attractive to her, and this was exactly what she was asking for.

"I might as well tell you a good news, your young man is also an excellent man, after you entered the palace, he joined the military camp, and now he has a small merit."

"When Bengong sent someone to look for him, he said that he was still waiting for you and trying to make a great contribution to marry you back as soon as possible."

Jiang Wan likes this kind of childhood sweetheart story very much, and Jiang Wan is also happy to fulfill Huazhi and her young man. However, other people's romances are sweet, and when she thinks of Lu Zhixing, her heart is full of sorrow.

"Really, is that really what he said?"

Hua Zhi was already sensitive and delicate, but now after listening to Jiang Wan's words, the corners of her eyes moistened. She originally thought that it was impossible to be with him, but she didn't expect that there was still hope for being together now.

"Huazhi is willing to be like a happy face, swear to be loyal to Concubine Hui, and never give up."

Jiang Wan looked at the two palace maids in front of him who had been successfully collected by himself, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. This is only the most insignificant beginning, she will be the guide of the storm in the court, and no longer be the fish on the chopping board as before, to be slaughtered.

Huan Yan and Hua Zhi will soon be arranged by Jiang Wan with their respective tasks, Huan Yan has a lively personality and is easy to get along with people, and is a good hand at getting news. Although Huazhi is stable and quiet, his family has practiced medicine for generations and has some understanding of pharmacology and fragrance. Listening to Huazhi, her perfume was originally played with nothing, and later met a capable person in this area who taught her.

Compared with Huanyan, Huazhi's family background is also better, and she entered the palace not to make a living, but because her family was too greedy, she always wanted her to find an opportunity to seek favor in front of the holy driver. It's a pity that Huazhi's temperament is not in harmony with the court, and there is already a person in his heart who has been entrusted with his life.

"Huazhi, you can take a look at this thing for the palace, if you can get the recipe for the configuration."

Jiang Wan took out the fake death medicine she had taken from Xia Yahan before and handed it to Hua Zhi. Looking at this bottle, Jiang Wan's heart still felt pain.

"This, it will take some time."

"It's okay, it's not particularly important, this palace is not in a hurry."

Hua Zhi's first task was to help Jiang Wan analyze the fake death medicine. And Huan Yan has no fixed time, and has been walking around the palaces. Because although the original owner is the queen, he has always been not interested in the harem, and all the gossip about interpersonal relationships needs to be collected again.

"Hire'er, you've helped me a lot."

"Solving problems for the master is what a child should do."

Early in the morning of the second day, the chief steward suddenly came to Changle Palace with people.

"Why did the chief manager come to this palace, Changle Palace?"

"See Concubine Hui Niangniang, Your Majesty asked our family to send a message to Niangniang, saying that the autumn hunt in three days will take Niangniang with you, and let Niangniang prepare in advance."

Jiang Wan was still smiling when he heard this, and he was not happy or surprised, "This palace knows, and the chief manager of trouble has thanked His Majesty for his grace for this palace." ”

"Concubine Hui is polite."

Jiang Wan returned to the palace and paced back and forth. Autumn hunting is known to her, spring hunting every two years, autumn hunting every two years, entertainment activities for high-ranking officials and royal children.

But this autumn hunting trip to Lu named her to accompany her, didn't this make her make enemies in the harem? The autumn hunt of the Son of Heaven has rarely been followed by concubines since ancient times, and this is the first time Jiang Wan.

"Your Majesty, why did you name your concubines to go to the autumn hunt together?"

"Didn't you always want to go outside the palace, so I took this opportunity to take you out to play."

Although Lu Zhixing didn't want to let Jiang Wan leave him to pursue freedom, he didn't want her to live too depressed in the palace. Just in time for the autumn hunt this year, he took her around the paddock.

"But doesn't Your Majesty think it would be troublesome to bring a woman there?"

"You've never been a problem to me."

Lu Zhixing's sudden love words made Jiang Wan stunned, was Lu Zhixing possessed by something? After Lu Zhixing said this, he covered his mouth with his hand unnaturally, and he had never said such a shameful word.

"Poof, the concubine knows, and the concubine retires first."

Jiang Wan looked at Lu Zhixing's shy appearance, couldn't help but smile, and left. Lu Zhixing was embarrassed at this time, and just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. What kind of bad idea did Changge's kid give him, and said that the girl's family likes this one, it seems that he has not had any tasks too leisurely recently.

"Jiang Wan was named by His Majesty to take her to the autumn hunt, and she was the only one to take her?"

Lin Yao was a little depressed after she found out about her infertility physique, and she had no way to deal with Jiang Wan. Now Jiang Wan is in the limelight, and her grace is infinite, which she didn't expect. For many years, there has never been a son of heaven in Wei who has taken a concubine out of the palace, but Jiang Wan, an outlier, is out of line.

"Why did all the good things fall on Jiang Wan's head!"

Lin Yao viciously swept the vase in his hand to the ground, and the fragments were scattered all over the ground. Yuan Zhu was also used to Lin Yao's appearance, so she just stood aside and waited for her to dissipate her anger.

"Dress up the palace, and the palace is going to meet Your Majesty."

"Yes, sissy."

Lu Zhixing was planning the autumn hunting conference in three days in the imperial study, when he heard the chief manager say that Lin Yao was coming. Lu Zhixing thought to himself that he had indeed been snubbing her, and it would save her many times when he saw her.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has made some food for Your Majesty, Your Majesty will taste it."

Lin Yao walked in with a food box and opened it in front of Lu Zhixing.

"You can put it there."

"Your Majesty is so cold to your concubines, and your Majesty doesn't see Your Majesty coming to see your concubines when she recovers from a serious illness, and the concubines are very aggrieved."

When Lin Yao said this, he was resentful and a little crying, which made Lu Zhixing have a headache, he was the least able to deal with women. In order to appease Lin Yao, who was about to cry, Lu Zhixing promised to go to the Guifei Palace under Lin Yao's stalking.

"The concubine doesn't expect His Majesty to take the concubine to the autumn hunt, I just hope that Your Majesty can take some time to worry about the concubine, and the concubine will be content."

Lu Zhixing heard Lin Yao mention the autumn hunting, so he had to stop talking.

"I'll go to the palace to sleep tonight, so you can step down."

"The concubine retired."

Lin Yao's plan succeeded, and she bowed obediently and retired, as long as Lu Zhixing went to the Guifei Palace to stay overnight, she could start the next plan.

"Changyi, you will also go to autumn hunting, right?"

On the martial arts field, Zhou Changyi, the major general of the Zhou family, was teaching Lu Ya marksmanship. Because of Zhou Changyi's entry into the palace, Lu Ya was all about him, and he didn't go to Jiang Wan's trouble, which made Lu Zhixing very worry-free. Zhou Changyi also has feelings for Lu Ya, but because of the disparity in identity, he has always hidden it in his heart.

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, when the autumn hunt comes, Weichen will also participate."

"Then you will have to protect this princess then."

"Okay." Zhou Changyi habitually agreed, and then reacted, "Your Royal Highness Princess, you also want to participate in the autumn hunt?" ”

"Yes, my brother who went to beg on purpose, he promised me everything."

"No, although the autumn hunt is in the royal enclosure, there is also a hidden crisis, how can Her Royal Highness the princess be in danger!"

When Zhou Changyi heard that Lu Ya would also participate, his face immediately became serious, this is not child's play, what if Lu Ya is injured by a beast.

"Changyi, is this concerned about me?"

Lu Ya came to Zhou Changyi with a smile in her eyebrows, and the tip of Zhou Changyi's nose was only a fist away. Zhou Changyi had never been so close to her, his face flushed, and he hurriedly stepped back.
