Chapter 147: Righteous Action
On the second day, the big tent of the hunting station moved early, there were too many things to prepare, and it was impossible to miss the hunting ceremony presided over by the emperor for a while, and each tent was lit up to illuminate the whole lodging place.
Soho was also pulled up by Yingxue early.
"Miss, come back to sleep after the hunting ceremony is over, it's time to get up and prepare." Yingxue whispered.
Soho got up and washed her face in a daze.
Yingxue poured water for Soho and handed the pancreas, and asked with concern, "Miss, is there anything wrong with you?" ”
Soho splashed some water on her face and replied, "No, it's very good!" ”
Yingxue nodded, "That's good, that's good, I've heard that if some people fall, there may not be anything wrong at that time, and the terrible back, all the internal organs will swell." ”
Soho smiled and said, "Although this situation exists, I'm fine this time, I know these things myself, and I must pay attention to them." ”
Yingxue found a thin skirt for Soho again, although it was said that the female dependents would not go hunting, but on this occasion, they could not wear it too inconveniently.
After eating and coming to the middle tent, the sky was already bright, the men who participated in the hunt were unified on the inside of the fence, the princes and nobles who did not participate in the hunt were under the high platform, and then there was the place where the ladies stood.
The emperor wore a delicate and powerful dress and walked up to the high platform and held a hunting ceremony.
Autumn hunting, is always the royal attaches great importance to the activity, although this is the ancient period of agricultural civilization has not yet begun to create, but in this all things have already been harvested, the world is peaceful, autumn hunting still occupies a very important position, not only to narrow the distance between the monarch and the minister, in the chase of these jackals, tigers, leopards, foxes, rabbits, deer, but also can train the hunter's agility, vitality, in a sense, hunting, but also to improve the combat ability of warriors, but here, it can only be regarded as a royal pastime to show a way of prestige.
But in the autumn hunt every year, there is always a battle between the open and the dark, all the hunters will be full of strength to hunt as much prey as possible, if you hunt a fierce beast, it is indeed a long face, if you can only hunt some pheasants and rabbits, it is to make people laugh.
The emperor lit incense and bowed to the sky three times, and then turned around to lecture, and when the emperor finished speaking, the hunters waiting around the fence couldn't wait, the emperor ordered, the fence was fully opened, dozens of horses rolled into the forest like the wind, and then several teams of royal forest troops also followed, the hunting place was huge, and there were any fierce beasts in the continuous forest, in order to prevent the occurrence of fierce beasts biting, these royal forest troops still had to be guarded.
"Well, you say, who's going to win the jackpot today?" Watching those people rush into the woods, the ladies here began to discuss in the shade of the stands.
"Do you need to talk about that? Regent, of course? In addition to his conquest, as long as he participates, which time is not the most powerful? I hunted a big worm last year! The breeze is strong, heroic! ”
"Oops, hey, it's like you're in front of you." The other shouted mockingly.
Indeed, this year's autumn hunt was indeed the largest, and before that, except for nobles and officials, few female dependents participated in it.
As he was talking, a fast horse ran out of the forest, and a royal forest soldier carried an elk and walked up to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this is the first prey shot by the regent, and it is specially presented." ”
The emperor nodded, with a smile on his face, "Okay, the regent really didn't disappoint me, hahaha, look at this deer, it's very fat, it is said that Pengze venison is the best in the world, and now I also taste this!" ”
"Wow, I'll just say the Lord Regent is the best!" Seeing this, a few of the ladies here had smiles on their faces as if they were blooming.
Soho sat in the corner, Zhou Jinghan was able to hunt so quickly, it was indeed powerful, but it had always been bland Soho looked a little out of place with this lively atmosphere, since the ceremony was over, Soho wanted to go back, but seeing Yingxue's face full of excitement and curiosity, he decided to stay for a while.
Li Ruxue stood in the middle of the crowd, and her words became much less, she watched and listened silently, which was very different from usual.
"County Lord, what's wrong with you today? Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to hunt some prey and come back? Someone saw Li Ruxue like this and came over to talk to her.
Li Ruxue's face was a little pale and haggard, it must be because she didn't sleep well last night, she rubbed her forehead and whispered, "Why do I feel a little flustered?" ”
"The county lord doesn't look good, but he's not feeling well?"
Li Ruxue nodded.
"That's it, it's because you're not feeling well, county lord, or ...... Go back to a doctor? ”
Li Ruxue looked up inadvertently, and just happened to see Soho watching the excitement leisurely, and the scene from last night immediately resurfaced, and hatred and humiliation immediately exploded in her heart.
Li Ruxue raised her head, "Okay, you go back with me." Li Ruxue said to Soho, the tone was tough, as if Soho was just a girl beside her, and the other people around her were immediately silent and didn't dare to speak anymore, Li Ruxue was even more rampant, "Are you deaf?" I'm talking to you. ”
Soho was helpless, looked at Li Ruxue and said, "The county mainly wants to go back, but you can go back by yourself, so why do you want to pull me?" ”
"Don't think that if the prince protects you, you can do whatever you want! Soho, you don't look at what your identity is, a little concubine, a biological mother or a gentle lowly woman, such a person, you are also worthy of standing by the side of the prince? Li Ruxue seemed to have forgotten Zhou Jinghan's warning to her last night, or rather, it was Zhou Jinghan's words that aroused all the anger hidden in her heart, in short, at this moment, she hated Soho very much.
Li Ruxue's words came out openly, so that Soho set up many enemies, among these women, there are a lot of admirers of Zhou Jinghan, although they dare not compete with Li Ruxue for jealousy, but they still dare to Suho, plus they saw Zhou Jinghan saving Soho with their own eyes last night, and now they are instigated by Li Ruxue, and they all pricked up their eyes to look at Soho, as if they want to devour her alive.
"No wonder, it turns out that the biological mother is this kind of person, don't think that with a foxy face, you can seduce and lure the prince, you are not worthy." There are people next to you to help.
"That's it, probably the true inheritance of the biological mother." Another shrill voice came.
Su He looked at a few people and sneered again and again, "You know so well, it's like I've experienced it myself, although I can't choose my background, but I also know that being honored and ashamed, and I still have the upbringing, but a few of them said these words on such an important occasion...... It's really not your identity. Soho said sarcastically.
"You ......" several people were anxious, but they were choked.
"Sharp teeth, it seems that if the county lord doesn't teach you a good lesson, you won't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick!" As she spoke, Li Ruxue walked over step by step, with a dangerous glint in her eyes.
Of course, Soho would not let her be slaughtered, and she was ready to fight back, but before the two of them could make a move, Soho's hand was grabbed and one person blocked in front of her.
Soho hadn't noticed the man before, the girl looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, a little thin but with a straight back.
"County lord, you can't bully people just because there are too many people, this sister didn't say anything disrespectful first, and what she said was the truth, what these people said will inevitably stain people's ears, and the county lord is also a lesson." The words of the words are sonorous and powerful.
"Cheng Man'er, what are you here to make a mess? What does the county lord do, do you have to interject? ”
Su He listened, and couldn't help but look carefully at the person in front of him, it turned out that this was Cheng Man'er, the only daughter of General Cheng, and her temperament was famous for her straightforwardness, of course, she was most famous not for her character, but for her martial arts, she was only fifteen years old, but she had already practiced a good kung fu, and last month's martial arts competition, no one in Beijing was the average man who could beat her!
Cheng Man'er clenched her fists and sneered, "I watched you bully, I felt uncomfortable, hum, are you not convinced?" Okay, then I'll convince you today! Saying that, Cheng Man'er actually waved his fist and walked forward.
The newborn man immediately hid behind Li Ruxue.
Li Ruxue glared at Cheng Man'er, "Cheng Man'er, don't come nonsense, the emperor is sitting there." ”
"It's not the first time I've beaten someone in front of the emperor, and you don't know this!"
At last year's spring banquet, someone wanted to provoke and tease Cheng Man'er, and was beaten by her, but later I learned that it was Shangshu's baby son who was beaten. , The two of them went to the emperor after breaking and pulling, but after the emperor heard it, he praised Cheng Man'er, saying that she was a woman who did not let her eyebrows, but she was a heroine among women, and in the face of this unhealthy trend, she should take action to rectify it.
As a result, Cheng Man'er has become the most nosy person in Beijing...... Although he is young, he is convinced by many people.
"You...... You calm down! Li Ruxue knows these things about Cheng Man'er, and she is also afraid of this straightforward and strong martial arts girl, after all, this one is the master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, if she is really beaten, it will be in vain! Besides, if this matter really makes trouble to the emperor, it will not end well.
Cheng Man'er stood firm and said, "Do you want me to calm down?" Okay, apologize to this sister. ”
"What? Want us to apologize to her? Oh, that's ridiculous! ”
"Oh, in that case, don't blame me for turning my fist and not recognizing people!" Cheng Man'er pinched her fingers and clicked.
"Don't don't, we're wrong, Miss Su...... Adults, a lot, don't care. "Some people are afraid after all, so they can only apologize in a low voice.
Cheng Man'er looked back at Soho, "Sister, do you think this is okay?" ”
Soho nodded.
"Humph!" Li Ruxue snorted coldly and left in a huff, and the few people who taunted Soho with her also hurriedly left when they saw this.
"Thank you, Miss Cheng, for your righteous help." Soho said with a smile.
