Chapter Eighty-Four: You Deserve to Freeze to Death
March is a good time to travel.
On the occasion of the visit of the Dayue delegation, Emperor Sheng, who has always only liked sheng songs and dances, held an unprecedented spring hunting meeting to welcome him.
The Great Viet Kingdom and the Sheng Kingdom have always been hostile, and this sudden visit to show goodwill will inevitably make people suspect their motives.
The people of Shengguo hated these barbarians even more, and the mission marched all the way, except for rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, but did not receive the slightest welcome.
Therefore, in order to appease the mission, Emperor Sheng catered to the preferences of the people of Dayue and held this spring hunting conference to entertain them.
Yan Ran also felt very strange that the Great Yue Kingdom came to sue for peace, which had not happened in the previous life.
But since her rebirth, many things have changed, and one of her small actions may have triggered a butterfly effect, or even changed the tide of battle.
Fortunately, with the Xuanqing brothers and sisters by her side, they told her a lot about Beining City, which made her understand more about the situation on the border.
The Great Yue Kingdom is an alliance country formed by various barbarian tribes in Mobei in recent years, and it is brave and good at fighting, and it is even more ambitious.
They often harassed the borders of Shengguo and wanted to annex Ling in order to expand their territory.
Previously, Princess Dan was to fight against the Great Yue Kingdom, and came to Sheng Guo to ask for help and borrow troops.
Later, Desheng sent troops, and with the help of the Bac Ninh army, Ling was able to prevent the iron hooves of the Great Yue Kingdom from stepping in.
However, although the Great Viet Kingdom was strong due to tribal alliances, it also had disadvantages.
Because it is the integration of multiple tribes, it is natural that disputes caused by various reasons are indispensable, ranging from national beliefs to clothing and eating, and it is difficult to unify.
Therefore, after half a year-long civil strife, the Great Yue Kingdom split into a part of it, called the Small Yue Kingdom, which greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of the Great Yue Kingdom.
As a result, the Great Viet Kingdom had to temporarily rest its banners.
This time, the mission represented by Amuas, the prince of the Great Yue Kingdom, brought many cattle, sheep and horses, as well as exotic beauties, to express their intention to make peace with Shengguo.
No one likes war, and even more so Emperor Sheng, who covets comfort.
Since the Great Viet Kingdom took the initiative to stop the war as a gesture of goodwill, he gladly reached a peace agreement with it, and warmly entertained the mission, hoping to maintain a good relationship between the two countries.
The venue of the spring hunting meeting was selected in Jingshan, and the emperor accompanied his concubine and prince, and the officials also brought their families with them.
The same is true of the Yan Mansion, leaving only the older Mrs. Yan at home.
However, what Yan Ran didn't expect was that the eldest princess of Minyang actually brought Wen Rongan with her on this trip.
Minyang has always regarded Wen Rong'an as nothing, and even forgot him about the family banquet, how could he kindly bring him to such a grand event?
Such an abrupt move really made Yan Ran feel disobedient, and she couldn't help but have some conspiracy theories, faintly worried about Wen Rong'an.
The weather in early spring is warm and cold.
Wen Rongan only wore a thin spring shirt, stood on his horse, and a gust of cold wind hit, which provoked him to cough a few times.
Yan Ran, who was in the carriage in the distance, saw this scene through the window, and couldn't help but feel distressed and complained, and secretly blamed him for knowing that his body was weak and he didn't wear thick clothes.
Yan Ran didn't have any clothes to lend Wen Rong'an to wear, so he went to Mu Changfeng with Xuanqing and asked him to find a cloak for Wen Rong'an to block the wind.
Not long after, Wen Qi held the cloak sent by Mu Changfeng and presented it to Wen Rong'an.
Wen Chengyan watched coldly from the side, his brows furrowed.
Ever since he had seen Yan Ran and Wen Rongan get along well in private, he always felt that what happened to Wen Rongan seemed to have a connection with Yan Ran.
For example, now.
Even if Mu Changfeng is friendly with Wen Rong'an, he is a rough-thinking man, and he will not notice that Wen Rong'an is wearing thin, and he can still think of such a detail as giving him a cloak, right?
Perhaps, Mu Changfeng sent a cloak to Wen Rong'an, which was instructed by Yan Ran!
Thinking of this, Wen Chengyan couldn't stop the anger from surging, and his contemptuous tone was mixed with bitterness: "Spring is harmonious, why do you need to wear so much?" ”
Wen Qi explained for Wen Rong'an: "Little grandfather, the eldest son is afraid of the cold, although it is spring, the temperature is still lower. Besides, this cloak was sent by General Mu Xiao on a special trip, so it was not good to brush off his kindness. ”
Wen Chengyan sneered, as if he had heard some joke: "Good intentions? I think he's laughing at you, a man is as delicate as a woman! I don't care what you do in the mansion, but when you go out, you also represent the image of the Dingguo Mansion, how can you be so unproductive? ”
Wen Chengyan put on the posture of the head of the family and moved out the glory of the family, and Wen Qi had nothing to say.
Wen Rong'an's face was blank, and he said to Wen Qi lightly: "What the little grandfather said is, Wen Qi, send the cloak back, and thank General Mu for his kindness for me." ”
Wen Qi had no choice but to send the cloak back.
When Yan Ran learned of this, she gritted her teeth and said viciously: "I know that Minyang and Wen Chengyan must not be well-intentioned!" ”
Yan Ran was right.
When Minyang received the order to participate in the Spring Hunting Conference, he didn't remember that there was another Wen Rongan in the house, and it was Wen Chengyan who proposed to bring him with him.
Wen Chengyan remembered that Su Yu had previously asserted that Wen Rong'an was empty inside, and if he didn't recuperate, he might not be able to return to the sky.
In this case, why did Wen Chengyan let him rest at home, naturally he had the opportunity to toss him, so he had to toss him hard.
All the way to Jingshan.
The palace people have already opened a large open space here, and arranged a resting tent and a place for activities.
Emperor Sheng is in the deep palace all the year round and rarely goes out for activities.
After riding in the carriage for such a long time, he could not help but be a little tired, so he ordered a short rest and a hunt in the afternoon.
However, with the exception of Emperor Sheng and the elderly officials, everyone else was in high spirits.
Especially the energetic teenagers, after going up the mountain, they went straight to the forest with joy, wanting to try their hand at the knife, hunt some game and add food, and warm up for the afternoon hunt.
Wen took Yan Yao to visit the good wives, but Yan Ran was too lazy to talk to them, so she went to find Zhen Yao.
Previously, Zhen Yu was deceived and held hostage by Song Jinghui in the name of Yan Ran, which almost caused a catastrophe.
Qingguo Gong had palpitations and locked Zhen Zhen in the mansion for a long time.
This time he traveled, and he told Zhen Zhen not to trust others easily, and not to run around.
Zhen Yu said sullenly: "Hey, I knew that spring hunting was so boring, so I wouldn't come." ”
Yan Ran also felt bored.
Finally had the opportunity to travel, but with the half-hanging riding skills they had only learned for a few days, they could not gallop through the woods to hunt like men.
They could only walk from tent to tent and watch the others rejoice.
Seeing the two of them's pale faces, Xuan Yue proposed: "Girl, the slave's brother just went to investigate the surroundings and found that there is a stream nearby, and there are fish in it!" Why don't we catch fish, and we can also make grilled fish to eat! ”
"Grilled fish?"
"Catch fish?"
Yan Ran and Zhen Yu showed interest in this matter, but one was thinking about eating, and the other was thinking about playing.
The creek is not far from the camp, and it is not Zhen Zhen's turn to catch fish in the river, so she just stands next to her and watches the excitement, there is no danger factor.
So under Zhen Yu's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Qing Guogong reluctantly agreed to her request.
But in order to ensure her safety, Qingguo Gong also borrowed two golden armor guards from the queen to follow her.
Zhen Zhen felt that her grandfather was making too much of a fuss, but in order to be able to go out and play, she could only endure it.
Yan Ran and Zhen Yu brought people to the river.
Xuan Qing was responsible for taking a few guards into the water to catch fish, Xuan Yue was responsible for leading people to collect firewood and raise the fire, and Yan Ran and Zhen Yu were responsible for cheering.
"Hey, go ahead and block it! Ran away, turn around! Look down, right at your feet! ”
Oh, by the way, Zhen Yu is also in charge.
"Cousin Ran."
Yan Ran was looking at the few people who were in a hurry because of Zhen Yu's indiscriminate command, and a disgusting voice sounded behind him.
Yan Ran turned around to look, only to see Wen Chengyan walking over with a hare.
She rolled her eyes and greeted her: "Cousin Yan." ”
It was rare to see Yan Ran so pleasant, Wen Chengyan felt quite flattered, and forgot what to say for a while.
Yan Ran looked at his hand and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, your hand is bleeding!" ”
Wen Chengyan looked down at his hand, ironed in his heart, and said softly: "It's okay, it's rabbit blood." ”
Yan Ran feigned concern: "Go wash your hands!" ”
Wen Chengyan walked to the river as he said, squatted down and washed his hands.
Yan Ran followed and poked the rabbit with interest.
Wen Chengyan tilted his head, and when he saw her small movements, he felt very cute, and lifted his lips and said: "I saw my cousin grilling fish, this hare is tender and fatty, take it and eat it together!" ”
Yan Ran smiled and shook her head: "Okay! ”
Yan Ran carried the seven-treasure hairpin given to her by Wen Rong'an on her head, and the seven-colored gems refracted dazzling light in the sun, shaking Wen Chengyan's eyes, making him dizzy for a while, and suddenly his center of gravity was unstable, and he actually fell into the water.
Yan Ran exclaimed, "Cousin Yan, are you okay?" ”
Wen Chengyan hurriedly stood up, but it was too late, and half of his body was wet.
He has always been elegant and calm, how could he have been so embarrassed, and he was still embarrassed in front of his favorite girl.
He lowered his head and said in a panic: "Cousin smiled, I, I'll go back first." ”
With that, he hurried away.
His robe became wet and heavy when it was soaked in water, and water was dripping downward, making it a little unsteady for him to walk.
A cold wind blew, which made him shiver even more, and his hair stood up all over his body, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
It took a lot of effort for Yan Ran to control not laughing in front of Wen Chengyan.
After he left, she clutched her stomach and burst into laughter.
Hmph, who told you not to let Wen Rongan wear a cloak, you deserve to freeze to death!
Yan Ran helped Wen Rongan take revenge, and walked over to Zhen Yu and the others not far away.
"Sister Yan, be careful!"
Yan Ran didn't know what was going on, but saw Zhen Yu running towards her and looking behind her with a frightened face.
She subconsciously turned her head to look, only to see an arrow shooting straight at her face, and the smile that had not yet dissipated was so stiff on her lips.
