Chapter 39: Reopening the Hunting Grounds
Following the previous review of Miao Xuan's being scratched by a sudden beast in the hunting ground, the hunting matter was put on hold for the time being.
Not long ago, that is, when Gu Miaoxuan's injuries were healed, Gu Feng brought up the old matter again in the court.
Ben still took it for granted that Mu Chuan would take over, but he didn't expect that he would take advantage of Gu Miaoxuan's injury to get rid of it, and Gu Feng had to find a suitable candidate again.
At this time, one person stepped forward, and it was the newly appointed soldier of the military department.
"Your Majesty, Weichen recommended himself in front of him, and King Ping can't do an errand, Weichen wants to see how difficult it is!" The soldier's eyes vaguely glanced at Makikawa, who was still calm.
I don't think I care, such a king with a different surname, there is no trace of royal blood on his body, and he is tied up when he encounters something, but he has just made a contribution to the dragon.
Not to mention him, many military ministers in the court are not used to this King Ping, but there are still some different sources in it.
Makikawa turned a deaf ear and just stared ahead on the side.
Gu Feng admired this soldier a little, and dared to openly provoke Mu Chuan in front of him, not to mention that this was the person he single-handedly selected.
"That's good! The hunting will be taken over by the squire of the military department, but whether he can catch up with King Ping, I will wait and see! Gu Feng slapped the board and directly decided on this matter.
After a period of preparation, it was finally time for the hunting grounds to open.
Almost all the high-ranking officials and nobles in the city have been invited, the hunting grounds are limited, this time it is also according to the old calendar, the officials above the fifth grade have accepted the invitation, naturally, the Xiangwang Mansion is no exception.
On this day, the officials invited in the city all got up early in the morning, and Gu Xiwu was called by Cai Yin and Aunt Su before dawn, and began to freshen up non-stop.
Gu Xiwu has been conditioning in the past few days, her body has improved a lot, and she has slept a lot, she has been closing her eyes and pretending to sleep when she is freshened, and the moment she finishes it, there is still a trace of sleepiness in her open eyes.
Because it takes two days to go to the hunting grounds, the only maids brought with me this time are Cai Yin, Orange Blossom, and Liuyun.
Aunt Su has been pulling Cai Yin to explain since last night, without stopping for a moment, even Gu Xiwu listened to it and remembered it almost.
"Aunt Su, it's not too early. Don't worry, there are orange blossoms and flowing clouds, where will something happen? Still couldn't bear to let Aunt Su worry like this, Gu Xiwu still said one more word,
Aunt Su knew this, but she had been unstable in her heart, and she always felt that something would happen.
didn't want to cause trouble to Gu Xiwu, so Aunt Su finally pulled Cai Yin and added Liuyun on the side, and finally explained it again, and finally released her.
Gu Xiwu just stepped out of the courtyard gate, and as soon as she raised her head, Mo Xuanyin's face with a light smile crashed into her eyes.
"Second Miss can make people wait." Mo Xuanyin was ordinary, and he brought two familiar guards, but he was no longer dressed as a noble son, wearing a gold-edged royal blue suit, with a sword around his waist, and a jade pendant symbolizing his identity as a son.
The whole person's temperament was completely different, which made Gu Xiwu's eyes shake, but in an instant, the look in his eyes was removed.
"The son of the world is early, I don't know that the son of the world is waiting outside, and he came out late." Gu Xiwu blessed his body, and said so.
Mo Xuanyin was actually looking at her secretly, today's outfit, it was the first time he had seen it, a plain dress changed into a light pink power suit, and the usually low-hanging hair was tied up high, revealing a smooth forehead and a straight neck, which made the eyes of people who were used to seeing it brighten.
"To see such a beautiful second miss, even if you wait a little longer, I'm afraid King Xiang can't wait." Mo Xuanyin's words suddenly turned.
Through Mo Xuanyin, Gu Xiwu could see that the little guy beside Gu Che was walking towards this side.
As he spoke, he had already run in front of him, "Second Miss, Shizi, is the prince ready to come and see if he is young?" You can go at any time! ”
"In this case, let's go!" Mo Xuanyin finally withdrew the gaze he had been leaving on Gu Xiwu at this time, and turned around and walked in the direction where the little girl came.
Gu Xiwu breathed a sigh of relief without a trace, this person's gaze just now was too revealing, even if she lived again, she still almost didn't stand it.
"Second Miss?" Seeing that Gu Xiwu didn't move, the little guy didn't know what he was thinking, and seeing that Mo Xuanyin had already walked for a while, he couldn't help but remind him.
Liuyun sighed silently in his heart on the side, their world began again, and when they saw happy people and things, they couldn't hold it, and the kind of eyes that wanted to swallow people into their stomachs didn't know if Miss could hold it?
But Gu Xiwu used to be a princess, so such a look would make her retreat?
Of course it was impossible, when he woke up, he followed, holding a breath in his heart, and he just kept up with Mo Xuanyin's footsteps.
In front, Mo Xuanyin naturally felt it, and the smile sipping at the corner of his mouth became deeper and deeper, but the speed under his feet was slower, but he couldn't be tired of his future lady, right?
Until he arrived at the gate, Gu Che was already waiting at the door, and the people standing next to him changed from the Lin clan to the gentle Fang clan, plus Gu Ronghe and Gu Rongzhi, but it seemed that Gu Rongzhi's face was a little bad.
It should have been found by Gu Che from somewhere, and he was reprimanded fiercely.
Gu Xiwu ignored his gaze and saluted towards Gu Che and the Fang clan.
"Now the people are all together, and the city gate is open at this time, and there will be no delay, so get in the car! But the son of the world wants to ride together? Gu Che asked.
Mo Xuanyin shook his head, it was more suitable for him to ride a horse than to ride a carriage.
"King Xiang doesn't have to worry about this son, I will follow by the side." Mo Xuanyin walked towards the horse brought by the guard, Gu Che knew that he was afraid that he would not be used to sitting in the carriage, so he did not force it, and after everyone got into the carriage together, he gave the order to set off.
On this day, I am afraid that most of the housekeepers in the city have left for the city, and it is not too late for the Xiangwangfu party to set off, but there are already many carriages waiting at the gate of the city, all waiting to leave the city.
The city gate was lined up all the way to the street, and the vendors couldn't help but sigh a little, this was probably the first time such a grand trip after the imperial court stabilized.
After waiting at the city gate for more than half an hour, the sky was gradually brightening, Gu Xiwu was bored to open the corner of the curtain and look at the things around him, but it was obvious that it was better to close his eyes and recuperate.
As soon as Gu Xiwu closed his eyes, there was a sound of horses' hooves from far and near, followed by a low cough.
Quietly opened his eyes and turned his face to look towards the curtain.
"The second lady's decoction can't be broken now, so I can only grieve this son to help bring it, I heard that Bifangzhai's dim sum is good, so I drank the medicinal soup early."
Mo Xuanyin's words fell into her ears word for word, and although she didn't make a sound, the person outside was still talking to himself.
"By the way, I don't know if the second lady's bag can be done, after the second miss said last time, this world feels more and more that this waist is empty, if there is a bag embroidered with mandarin ducks, it would be great!"
This exclamation made Cai Yin cover her mouth and laugh, she watched her young lady make the bag with her own eyes, but it was not a mandarin duck embroidered on it.
At this time, Liuyun entered the carriage with the food box, but when he saw Gu Xiwu, he was obviously stunned.
Eh, how can I say it, although the expression on her face is very calm, the embarrassment in it couldn't be clearer, not to mention, the young lady is red from her face to her neck.
Since she was a child, she knew that she was not good at needlework, but she didn't expect that the simplest embroidery was not good, and she should have thrown it away early, but for some reason the ghost made the god leave it.
Mo Xuanyin's words made her embarrassed, she only felt that the bag in her hand was a hot potato, and she wanted to continue to pretend to be dead, but his unfinished words came from outside.
"But if the second lady hadn't done a good job, this son would have to wait a few more days, alas, but it's this waist, it's all wind!"
This sigh made Gu Xiwu let out, knowing that this person was deliberate, but she just couldn't suppress this breath, she was a princess, where did she let this person ridicule like this?
If he likes it, give it to him, but it's him who is ashamed anyway!
But her pursed lips still showed her displeasure, and she just handed over the things she had pinched all the way to Liuyun's hand, her eyes drifted away, and she looked directly at the pastries that Cai Yin had taken out of the food box.
Liuyun didn't dare to delay, turned around and went out directly, handing over the things in his hand, and Mo Xuanyin, who was smiling outside.
Cai Yin didn't know what kind of expression the prince would have when she saw the tips, but as the big girl next to the young lady, she had to say a few words for the young lady.
"Since the prince has accepted the bag made by the young lady herself, he has to take it well. Although this bag looks a little strange, it is also sewn by the young lady herself. ”
Although it was through the curtain, Mo Xuanyin still heard it clearly.
The embroidered thing on this bag, although it was not what he thought, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not at all recognizable, but it is made by her own hands, and he can feel it from it.
The smile on his face remained unchanged, and he hung it directly on his waist, and at the end, he asked Liuyun, "Is it good-looking?" ”
Liuyun didn't know what kind of expression to put on, so he could only sit outside with a straight face, nodding silently, and at the end, he turned his head and looked away, and the smile in his eyes leaked out at this time.
"I made a note of it, this son will take it well, and I will not let the second lady's hard work be in vain."
Mo Xuanyin cherished these words and left.
Only Gu Xiwu was left sitting in the carriage, and the heat on his face did not dissipate for a long time.
She didn't even see the trick, he even showed it like this, but why, did she feel even more ashamed? She took a bite of the pastry in her hand hatefully, if it weren't for the sake of this snack, she would ......
