Chapter 180
Having said that, seeing that the Internal Affairs Office was still preparing the arrow box, Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu also walked over.
"Sister Ruilan!" Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu ran over with a smile on their faces.
Qin Ruilan pretended to be unhappy, pouted and turned her face away: "Why didn't you come over?" ”
"Isn't this a joke for you~" Liang Huanqing stretched out his hand through the fence of the school yard to hold Qin Ruilan's hand.
Qin Ruilan naturally didn't care about such a trivial matter, and she knew in her heart that everyone was joking, so she stretched out her hand and took the initiative to hold Liang Huanqing.
Wei Shen was behind Qin Ruilan, and bowed to Qi Wangshu and Liang Huanqing: "Princess, princess." ”
The two nodded, and Qi Wangshu realized that Wei Shen was also here, and looked around left and right, thinking that Liang Xiao would be by their side, but there was no one in sight right now.
"Where's Liang Lone?" Qi Wangshu looked around and couldn't help asking.
Qin Ruilan and Liang Huanqing looked at Wei Shen together, although they knew that Wei Shen might be coming to the palace banquet instead of Liang Lone, after all, there was no one in the Liang Mansion now, even if there was something, someone had to come, but they didn't understand why Liang Lone was absent.
Wei Shen glanced at Qi Wangshu, and then replied: "Today, General Liang went to the state mansion to inspect, so he asked the last general to come to the palace banquet." ”
Although this answer was reasonable, Qi Wangshu was obviously not so happy: "Why do you have to let him go?" knew that he was invited to a palace banquet today. ”
Wei Shen and Qin Ruilan, Liang Huanqing glanced at each other, looked at each other, and then Liang Huanqing stepped forward and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, princess, brother will come back later, let him make amends to the princess in person." ”
Liang Huanqing knew best that Qi Wangshu was looking forward to this palace banquet in order to be able to see Liang Lone, and she originally thought that Liang Lone would definitely participate in the hunt when he came.
Qi Wangshu hadn't seen Liang Liang for a long time, who knew that Liang Liang didn't come to the palace banquet today, which really disappointed Qi Wangshu.
Since that day in the palace, Qi Wangshu has never gone to Liang Lin again, firstly, because the mother concubine no longer lets him go out, and secondly, as a princess, he also needs a little self-esteem, even if Liang Lian said unintentional words without words, but how could Qi Wangshu go to his heart.
"No need!" Qi Wangshu lost face, and the starlight in his eyes slowly dimmed.
When Wei Shen saw Princess Wangshu like this, all he thought about was that after General Liang Lin came back, he would have to bear it.
In order to alleviate the embarrassing situation, Liang Huanqing had to laugh awkwardly and change the topic: "Sister Ruilan and Wei Shen are not involved?" ”
Qin Ruilan glanced up at Wei Shen and smiled: "Huanqing, you know me, you have never liked this kind of competitive game, but Wei Shen, you can give it a try if you want to." ”
Wei Shen touched the back of his head, shook his head and said: "No need, I am trained in the barracks with real knives and guns, and I have a lot of strength to pull arrows, even if it is a flat-headed arrow and the arrow is wrapped in cotton, I am still worried that it will hurt others." ”
Qin Ruilan also nodded, and said with a smile to Qi Wangshu and Liang Huanqing: "This kind of game is the most suitable for you to play, but remember to pay attention to safety." ”
Qi Wangshu is also a big heart, as soon as others change the topic, their attention will follow, she said with a smile: "Sister Ruilan, don't worry, this time the princess of the game attaches great importance to it, and it will be okay if you think about it, you and Wei Shen are waiting for our good news in the stands." ”
This game is to beckon people to shoot arrows at themselves, who has the most red paint on their bodies, it means that they have the most blessings, and they will also come out on top, Qi Wangshu is very curious about this year's top prize, and wants to know what good things the mother has prepared.
But now the people who participate in the hunt are the wives of foreign envoys and expeditionary generals, as well as some young ladies of the family who volunteered, the scene can be described as lively, and there is only one eldest princess in the field, Qi Wangshu, who is also a royal noble, and others dare not shoot her with arrows.
"It's strange to think about it, how can such a game system be played?" Liang Huanqing has some strangeness about such a system, if it is said that who has fewer arrows and takes the lead, it is reasonable, but people can attract arrows to shoot at themselves, who dares to shoot at the princess because of their identity, if they accidentally shoot hurt, what should they do.
Qi Wangshu, Qin Ruilan, and Wei Shen also nodded, feeling that this game system was somewhat inappropriate.
But soon Qin Ruilan said: "Maybe Mei Guifei wants to encourage everyone to let go of the shackles of identity and send their sincere blessings, in short, Mei Guifei must have her reasons for this." It's in line with today's theme, isn't it? ”
Saying that, she and Wei Shen looked at each other and smiled, now what is respected in the army is to be as peaceful as possible, and war is too terrible.
Qi Wangshu and Liang Huanqing nodded, looked at each other and smiled, they just wanted to join in the fun, if they could happen to come out on top, it would be good.

Xia Rongxin was nervously inspecting the feather arrows prepared by the Internal Affairs Office, although the Internal Affairs Office had checked it many times, but if something went wrong, it would be a matter of human life, and Xia Rongxin attached great importance to this hunt and wanted to be as foolproof as possible, so she dispatched all the trusted palace maids and eunuchs in Yichun Hall to try her best to inspect it herself.
The inspection is almost over, but fortunately, the weather on Chinese New Year's Eve is good, with a gentle breeze and sun, and it is not as cold as the rain and snow before.
Looking at the magnates who had changed their clothes on the hunting ground, Xia Rongxin was somewhat relieved, after all, the activities she made were particularly popular, so Qi Bingyu would definitely value herself more.
Thinking of Lu Huiling, a girl who can only be coquettish and pleasing people, Xia Rongxin has some shame.
At this time, the nobleman walked over with Ah Xun, walked to Xia Rongxin's seat, and Shi Shiran made a big salute: "The concubine sees Mei Guifei Niangniang, Guifei Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an, Happy New Year." ”
Xia Rongxin saw that the nobleman was coming, and hurriedly got up to greet her, and could do a good job of hunting on Chinese New Year's Eve perfectly, but she couldn't do without the help of the nobleman, for half a month, she came to the Yichun Hall almost every day to help herself, not thinking about what other thoughts she had, this alone, Xia Rongxin was moved.
"Sister Yin Xue is here, hurry, give me a seat." Xia Rongxin stepped forward to help the nobleman and beckoned Yun Xi behind him to move a seat for the nobleman to sit down.
The place where Xia Rongxin was sitting was the temporary curtain tent set up in the school field, and seeing that the nobleman was coming, Yun Xi hurriedly moved a chair over.
"I just saw that the concubine was busy, so it was not good for the concubine to come and chatter, so it was a little late." After sitting down, the nobleman smiled at Xia Rongxin and said, "It's almost the same now, right?" The concubine looked like it was about to start. ”
Xia Rongxin nodded: "It's almost, when their last batch is checked, they can be distributed." ”
"Actually, the mother could have checked earlier, so she wouldn't have waited so long." The nobleman looked at the eunuchs and palace maids who were busy outside the curtain tent, and said with a smile, "It's also hard work." ”
"I don't know what the nobles are, I checked it once when I moved here before, and a messenger said that I was worried that there would be omissions, so I had to check it again in front of everyone." Aunt Yun Xi said with a smile behind her.
The noble man nodded and said with a smile: "Only the noble concubine can preside over this situation." “
"You really can talk." Xia Rongxin raised her eyebrows, glanced at the frozen purple hands of the nobleman, and couldn't help but say: "Hey, really, the palace is busy, and I didn't take care of my sister, Yun Xi, take the soup woman from the palace and give it to the nobleman." ”
Yun Xi blessed his body, so he smiled and went down to take it.
The noble man hurriedly waved his hand: "Guifei Niangniang, you better keep it for yourself, the concubine doesn't need it, this will start spring soon." ”
The nobleman said that if she didn't need it, she might not really be able to use it, she raised her eyes and looked at Lu Huiling on the high platform.
Lu Huiling looked at them with a solemn face, thinking that he was ready to find a good opportunity to exchange feather arrows.
The closer the matter is, the more calm Xue Guiren's heart becomes, and now she has calmly faced death, and even has made excuses.
When the time comes, he said that he was jealous and hated that Concubine Mei could be reused, but he could only die in the palace.
If there really is such a scene, the nobleman has no choice but to say secretly in his heart: It's Yin Zhi I'm sorry for the concubine.

After a while, the people of the Internal Affairs Office re-examined the feather arrows, and Xia Rongxin gave an order, and they distributed the feather arrows to everyone's hands in accordance with the procedures prepared before.
Lu Huiling saw Qi Wangshu carrying an arrow box from a distance, so he glanced at Xu Lan and asked her to tell the person who arranged it that she had secretly changed Qi Wangshu's feather arrows.
The hunting ground was chosen in the jungle near the Imperial Garden, so Lu Huiling asked Xu Lan to find an aunt on duty in the Imperial Garden, and with her help, secretly replaced Qi Wangshu's feather arrows.
Lu Huiling promised to give her a sum of money after the matter was completed and sent her out of the palace.
The aunt on duty is a hard-working person, and she has been in the palace for most of her life, but because some things can't get out of the palace, she heard Concubine Ming Niangniang agree to herself, so she hurriedly agreed, and the left and right are just to help her do one thing, and the aunt on duty will let go out as soon as her heart is horizontal.
The palace maids in the imperial garden all listened to the arrangement of the aunt on duty, and when Princess Wangshu was about to go into the forest to hunt, she found the right time to quietly replace the arrow box that Princess Wangshu put aside.
After the aunt on duty did these things, she hurriedly went to Aunt Xu Lan of Minghuatang, hoping that Concubine Ming could keep her promise to give herself a sum of money to arrange for herself to go out of the palace, but she didn't expect that Lu Chen appeared behind her in a blink of an eye, twisted her neck, and stuffed her into the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Lu Chen took the body of the aunt on duty out of the palace.
Lu Huiling picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, and then said, "Only the dead will keep it a secret forever. ”
