Chapter Ninety-Three: The Hunting Palace
It has been 100 years since the founding of the Great Calendar. The founding emperor of the Great Calendar was able to open the country and establish the Great Calendar by fighting the world on horseback.
Therefore, since the founding of the Great Calendar, the emperor has set up a summer hunt to test the martial arts ability of the children of the nobles of the Great Calendar.
However, with the passage of time, the meaning of summer hunting has increased. Many people took this opportunity to show their skills in front of His Majesty and a group of nobles, and maybe they could even achieve a marriage.
This year's summer hunt is particularly lively, and Xie Yaoguang, who is popular in the capital, was actually named by the emperors to participate in this year's spring hunt, which aroused the curiosity of many people.
So on the morning of the summer hunt, after Xie Yaoguang greeted Emperor Li, he avoided the curious eyes of everyone and boarded the carriage of the county lord of Jingning.
"Miss Xie, I haven't thanked you properly." The county lord of Jingning squinted at her with a smile, and said gently: "You might as well follow me this summer hunt, and I will take you to have a good time." β
"Thank you Lord for your kindness. If I go with you, I'm afraid that I will sweep the county lord Yaxing, Yaoguang's body is not good, and he probably won't be able to participate in the hunt. Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang smiled with deep eyes.
"I forgot you're not well, sorry."
Hearing this, Xie Yao smiled in his eyes. He took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured out the pill and took it with water. Then he skillfully put the porcelain bottle back. The county lord of Jingning looked at Xie Yaoguang in surprise, and there was a trace of regret in his eyes.
"Let the county lord smile, my body has always been like this. However, fortunately, the weather has been warm recently, and the disease will not be sick, and the medicines taken are all for recuperation. When Xie Yaoguang said this, there was a trace of loss and melancholy in his words that could not be concealed.
The county lord of Jingning stared at Xie Yaoguang's pale face and couldn't help but sigh. Although this appearance is not overwhelming, it has another moving style, and she is also very intelligent, how can it not be exciting.
It's just a pity that this amazing talent is brilliant, but the talented person is sick and sick, and it is difficult to live forever. I really hope that such a woman can live well and live up to this beauty.
"I can't take part in the hunt, but the county lord doesn't want me to tell you interesting stories like this in the past." Tilting his lips slightly, he pulled his hair and shook his steps: "It's better than a long and boring journey, right?" β
The county lord of Jingning, who already had a good impression of Xie Yaoguang, also felt that she was quite reasonable, and it was a long journey, and if she didn't tell some interesting things, it would be boring.
And it's just an interesting thing about hunting, so it's not much to talk about. She spoke vividly and interestingly, and Xie Yaoguang was also willing to listen.
"Every time I see you, I feel different, aren't you the goblin you said in the book?" The county lord of Jingning looked up at her and smiled lightly.
Xie Yaoguang raised his eyes at her when he heard this, twisted a piece of begonia cake in his hand, tilted his lips and smiled, "I think you are very close to the county lord, so I naturally treat you differently from others." β
This is true, Xie Yaoguang really likes the hearty temperament of the county lord of Jingning very much. At least you don't need to waste too much thought to interact with her, and people are a lot easier. Calculate people's hearts all day long, and after a long time, it is inevitable that they will feel bored.
"Then when you return to Beijing this time, you have to come to my mansion and we have a good gathering." Listening to her words, the county lord of Jingning had a smile in his eyebrows.
Xie Yaoguang, who responded to her with his head, was thinking about another matter. What the county lord of Jingning said just now also revealed a message, that is, in the past, His Majesty would always bring the crown prince with him during this kind of hunting activity.
But this time, I don't know why, but I left the prince in Beijing to supervise the country, and it was extremely normal for the prince to supervise the country. But Xie Yaoguang was still keenly aware of a different situation in this piece of information.
I'm afraid that King Shou can't bear the same situation as the prince now, and wants to take advantage of the emperor's absence from the prince to make some mistakes for him. If the emperor comes back, if he sees that the prince has made mistakes in handling things, no matter how much he favors the prince, he will inevitably be scolded.
"Yaoguang, you are smiling so funny, didn't you think of something funny?" The county lord of Jingning played with the teacup in his hand, and looked at Xie Yaoguang, "Who do you want to design?"
The word design fell into my ears. Xie Yaoguang narrowed her eyes and sighed a smile on her lips, she still hadn't thought about who to calculate for the time being. After all, the turmoil in the ministry has only been over for a while, and if something happens to the court, I am afraid that Emperor Li will wonder if someone is making an obstruction from it, with the intention of being unfavorable to the court.
After raising his hand and pouring the milky white almonds in the pot on the white jade tofu, he used a short blade to divide it into four pieces and sandwich them in a jade bowl, divide them into two and push them in front of the lord of Jingning.
With a relaxed eyebrow, Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but say, "County Lord, you better let me rest!" Besides, I didn't count people, they were all to blame. β
"Yes." The county lord of Jingning was quite emotional when he heard this, and exclaimed.
As he spoke, the carriage got closer and closer to the Hunting Palace, and finally traveled for about half a pillar of incense. The group finally arrived at the Hunting Palace before dark, and Emperor Li naturally stayed in the Hunting Palace. However, in order to reflect his image of enjoying with his ministers, Emperor Li specially instructed the palace people to also set up a tent for himself in the camp.
King Shou knew that Xie Yaoguang seemed to have a good relationship with the county lord of Jingning and Gu Qingzhi. She had specially greeted the chamberlain who was handling the matter earlier, and set up her tent between the county lord of Jingning and Gu Qingzhi, so that several people could take care of each other.
For the empathy shown by King Shou, Xie Yaoguang was also happy to accept it. After thanking King Shou for a while, Duan Fang assisted Suzaku to enter the tent to rest.
There are things to be busy at this time, and Xie Yaoguang is also happy to hide in the tent and read books and play chess very comfortably. But after a while, Suzaku reported that Gu Qingzhi was coming, and when he saw someone bypassing the screen and appearing in front of him, he pointed to the position in front of him.
"Why do you have time to look for me?" Xie Yaoguang raised his eyes and picked up a piece of lotus crisp.
"What can I do if I'm not a military attachΓ©?" Picking up the new tea brought by Suzaku, he blew away the long white mist and smiled, "At this time, we civil officials are the most leisurely." Tsk, why did you change this tea again?"
Eyes twitched. Like Gu Qingzhi, she took a sip of tea and smiled in her soft tone, "I have always maintained a preference for a long time, and it is easy for people to grasp the handle." Wouldn't it be more interesting for them to think that I was unpredictable? β
Gu Qingzhi was slightly stunned for a moment, and then tilted her lips to hide her surprise and pulled the crook of Xie Yao's bare arm, "Did you see anything unexpected when you went to Dingwangfu that day." β
"You really know what he's done over the years......" sat up straight, his waist was ringing, and he couldn't take his eyes off his friend in front of him, and his tone was a little heavy.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you......."
Xie Yaoguang looked away with a smile. There seemed to be a spring breeze between his eyebrows and eyes, and he slowly tilted his lips, "It's okay, Qingzhi, I didn't blame you for this." It's just that I can't think of it myself. β
