Chapter 32: Autumn Hunt 3
The search ended quickly, and nothing was found except the poisoned arrow.
"Sang Zhi, where was Huang Guifei at that time?" The only thing Nan Qian could think of in this palace was that Skullcap hated her so much.
"According to the palace people, in the woods to the west"
West? She was in the east at the time, wasn't it really her?
"Niangniang's heart to defend against people is indispensable, not to mention that in this deep palace, everything must be careful" Although the time for Sang Zhi to come in is short, he has seen a lot of warmth and coldness.
Nan Qian nodded, she was not destined to be a canary in this cage.
The bonfire in the evening was very lively, and everyone was laughing happily. Nan Qian couldn't be happy.
"What's wrong with the Queen?" Jiang Liang found Nan Qian in a daze, and reached out to probe her forehead.
"It's okay, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about me" Nan Qian looked at Jiang Li's face, feeling that everything was ethereal.
"If you are tired, go back and rest"
Jiang Li's gentle appearance made Nan Qian stunned, "Your Majesty, don't be so kind to your concubines..."
Jiang Liang wanted to say something, but Nan Qian got up and stopped looking at him, "Your Majesty, the concubines are tired, go back and rest first"
Everyone watched Nan Qian leave, not knowing what was happening. Skullcap looked at her back and sneered.
"Your Majesty, the concubine presents a sword dance.."
At the banquet where Nan Qian left, there were bursts of applause, which was particularly lively.
"What's wrong with the mother?"
Seeing Concubine Lian come in with the curtain lifted, Nan Qian raised her eyes and looked, sighed and continued to support her cheeks.
"Mother, you know, after you leave. The banquet was full of people, and it was very lively" Forsythia sat down beside her and sent the two palace maids out.
Seeing that Nan Qian didn't speak for a long time, Forsythia said faintly, "And the source of all this, do you know who it is?" ”
"Who is it?" Nan Qian said nonchalantly. The necklace left by the mother-in-law around her neck slowly heated up.
"It's Huang Guifei." Forsythia twisted Nan Qian's head towards herself, "Niangniang, don't push Your Majesty out." The only thing a woman can look up to in this palace is the man who is like the sky."
When Nan Qian heard this, her brows furrowed, "Even Ah Qiao, do you think so too?" She thought that Forsythia didn't want to compete for favor because she thought too clearly, maybe she didn't have any feelings for Jiang Liang at all.
"Before I entered the palace, I lived freely, and naturally I couldn't look down on this deep palace like a cage. It's just that when I was forced to enter the palace by my father, I saw too much in this palace, and power and favor became the only reliance of a woman."
Nan Qian shook her head, indicating that she did not agree with her statement. If this is the case, she would rather not have this posterior, not Jiang Li's so-called favor.
"I don't care because I don't care about Your Majesty..."Forsythia looked around vigilantly, "without emotion." But you're different, I see affection in you..."
Yes... Is it? Nan Qian didn't know, she only knew that she had to live from this world from the beginning, all because of her mother-in-law's departure and the burden of Snow Lotus.
Until Forsythia left, Nan Qian was in a trance for a long time, as if she had made a major decision, and let out a long sigh.
"The queen is okay" When Jiang Liang opened the curtain and came in, Nan Qian was already ready to rest.
"Your Majesty came at such a good time, the concubine almost fell asleep" Nan Qian laughed, and the corners of her eyes were wrinkled when she smiled.
"You, you've always been sleepy" Jiang Liang sat on the edge of the bed and brushed the ends of Nan Qian's hair.
"Hehe, is Your Majesty's banquet over so soon" Nan Qian's smile always hung on her face.
"Yes, as always, there is nothing new in the show"
"Is that concubine dancing so beautiful" Nan Qian smiled a little stiffly, and her cheeks were as uncomfortable as a plaster.
Jiang Liang was stunned for a moment, looking at Nan Qian trying to find something on her face. But there was nothing but a slightly stiff smile.
"The queen is tired, so let's rest, and I'll talk about it tomorrow."
Nan Qian looked at his figure leaving in a hurry, and laughed continuously.
The autumn hunt ended in the cold wind after three days, but it was as cold as the beginning of winter.
Because the wind at the border was so strong that the horses could not hold on to stop and rest for a while. The whole team was forced to stop, and Nan Qian had a chance to come down to breathe.
"Your Majesty, the concubine will go over there and take a look," Nan Qian pointed to a mountain rock in the distance and stepped forward.
"You follow the queen," Jiang Liang sent a few more guards to follow Nan Qian.
A group of palace maids, eunuchs, and guards followed behind Nan Qian, and Nan Qian was also accustomed to it and stopped saying anything.
"Your Majesty, drink some fruit wine to warm up" Skullcap watched Nan Qian go away, took the wine jug from the palace maid's hand, and stepped forward to hand it to Jiang Li.
Jiang Liang looked at her a little stunned, how could she feel that the character of the skullcap had changed a lot. "The concubine has a heart" Jiang Liang took the wine jug and took a sip, the sweet and warm taste entered his throat, and his body did feel a lot warmer.
"The concubine grew up with Your Majesty, when did Your Majesty become so polite" Skullcap smiled, the corners of her charming eyes dyed with a smile.
Nan Qian changed direction everywhere and looked to see if the necklace around her neck was reacting. After trying to make a lap, it was slightly hot, and I couldn't determine the direction.
A cold wind blew, and the wind and sand in the distance swept by, and it seemed that an ancient city was dimly revealed.
"What's that?" Nan Qian asked, pointing to the distance.
"Niangniang is probably some small affiliated country, and there are many around here," Xing'er replied.
And the vassal countries here? Nan Qian knew that she thought that there was only one big Min Dynasty in this world.
Nan Qian glanced at the ancient city again, the blowing hair swept the corners of her eyes, "Let's go" Nan Qian put the necklace back around her neck.
Because of the disaster of the Min Dynasty, the treasury was tight, and the warehouse was opened to release grain and build water conservancy. Originally, hunting had already been canceled, but because of the preparation in advance, a lot of manpower and property were wasted. Besides, the autumn hunt is a very important festival for the royal family, so Jiang Liang still continues. But all the prey of the hunt will be given to the people ... I have to say that Jiang Liang is still a good emperor.
When Nan Qian turned around, she saw the appearance of Jiang Liang and the golden boy and jade girl of skullcap, and smiled.
"Your Majesty is still as humorous as ever, hahaha"
"I remember when you were a kid..."
A burst of laughter came, and Nan Qian was the first to hear before she got closer.
The necklace around her neck gradually heated up, and Nan Qian was startled and rushed to the hill behind the carriage. In the distance, there are still ancient cities. Great, found it.
When Nan Qian returned to the palace, the palace had changed greatly. The former complicated and brilliant ornaments have been put away, and Jiang Li advocates frugality. The harem concubines' salaries were reduced by half, and many concubines complained.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Aiqing still has something to play, there is nothing to retreat from" Jiang Liang sat on the dragon chair and looked at the large number of courtiers below.
"Your Majesty, now the drainage system has been initially realized in the Jiangnan area. The severe drought in the northwest has also been initially brought under control...."
Jiang Liang listened to the reports of the ministers and nodded with satisfaction, "Continue to increase the intensity of opening warehouses and releasing grain, and do not allow rich merchants to maliciously raise the price of grain, and violators will be severely punished..."
After all the official business was finished, the ministers began to trumpet the emperor's harem again.
"Your Majesty has been on the throne for two years, but there is still no heir under your knees, and I hope that Your Majesty will consider it for the sake of the Min Dynasty!"
"I also hope that Your Majesty will consider the Min Dynasty for thousands of generations!" One courtier takes the lead, and a group of courtiers are vassals.
Jiang Liang looked at the bottom and knelt down, and had a headache. "I naturally have a number, and I have nothing to do!"
The courtiers looked at His Majesty once again trying to fool the past, shook their heads, and sighed.
