Chapter 452: Everything is ready
The Huang Family Hunting Ground is not something that anyone can go to if they want to. Therefore, the status of officials who can bring their female dependents will not be low, and officials whose official status is too low will not have the opportunity to come to this place, let alone the female dependents in their families.
The two of them stood by the door of the tent, and many tents had been erected around their tent, all of which were temporary shelters for the officials who had arrived.
Tents surrounded the city, and in the center of the tent circle, a tent was temporarily erected that was much larger than the other tents and decorated with exquisite materials. This tent was the temporary residence of the emperor.
The emperor had not yet arrived at the hunting ground, but the officials of the dynasty had already arrived. Zhao Qingyan stood in place, and in just a few minutes, he had already seen several officials walking over. It's just that the female dependents have seen only a few people.
came to the hunting ground, and Zhao Qingyan found out by himself without Wen Qiao saying it. This place is not easy for anyone to come, and the officials who bring their ladies are basically the princes and princes in the court.
Because Zhao Qingyan was named by the emperor himself, she was not among them. The number of female dependents is scarce, which is enough to see that in the whole world, from the court officials to the common people, the status of women is really low.
On the periphery of the Royal Hunting Ground, luxuriously decorated carriages slowly approached the gate of the Royal Hunting Ground. When the forbidden army guarding the gate saw the arrival of these carriages, their expressions were more serious than just now, and they stood straighter than just now.
A young man at the front of the carriage dismounted from his horse, dressed in armor, and walked up to the leader of the forbidden army and clenched his fists at him. The two didn't speak, but everyone knew who was coming this time.
The leader of the forbidden army understood the meaning and raised his hand to make a movement, and the other guards of the forbidden army instantly understood his meaning, and quickly removed the fence in front of the door.
The driver of the carriage had already left the carriage, and all the forbidden troops and the soldiers who had sent them to each other were waiting with bated breath. Everyone looked straight ahead with serious expressions, and in a short time, the curtain of the third carriage in the carriage line moved.
The curtain of the car was lifted by a boring hand, and then the face of the chamberlain Wang Shun was revealed. There is no one in the palace who does not know him, and as an attendant beside the emperor, his identity is very unusual. Wang Shun got out of the carriage first, and then a casual palace maid stepped forward and moved a bench that was convenient for getting on and off the carriage and placed it under each carriage.
This time, there were five taels in the carriage procession, and the first one was empty, and no one came down. After Wang Shun got out of the carriage, he picked up the emperor in the carriage under the carriage and got off the carriage. Descending from the second carriage was the crown prince, who was accompanied by a woman dressed in peach.
Some people recognized that this was the crown princess of the current dynasty. There was only one woman coming up from the fourth carriage, and that was the current favorite concubine Liu Huifei. In the end, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on the last carriage.
The Emperor and the Crown Prince had arrived, and everyone was speculating about who was sitting in the last carriage. I saw that the curtain shook slightly, and the first thing that was revealed was a section of dark sleeves, and then a white hand stretched out.
It wasn't until the curtain was lifted that the people present could see the man's face clearly. The slightly pale face hides a bit of a yin owl that is difficult for people to detect, with narrow eyebrows and eyes, a high nose bridge, and red lips.
The combination of such facial features makes people feel a feminine beauty at a glance, but his expression is very cold, if you look closely, you will can't stop giving birth to a penetrating and piercing coolness.
The man slowly got out of the carriage, and only then did it become clear who he was. The person who came turned out to be the third prince who had been in the limelight recently. The eyes of the third prince were dark, and he approached the emperor without a trace of expression on his face.
When the people who came arrived, the people present respectfully knelt down to salute the emperor and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
The emperor asked everyone to get up, and Wang Shun, the chamberlain, turned around and whispered to the emperor, "Your Majesty, let's go and see the tent first." The emperor came to this place twice a year, and the tents were all set up improvised.
When you don't come to hunt, there is nothing in this hunting ground, and all the animals in it are free-range. The emperor was in a good mood today, he took his hands, listened to Wang Shun's words, and took Concubine Liu Hui beside him to follow Wang Shun and walked to the hunting ground together.
The rest of the crown prince and the third prince automatically followed behind them. The distance between the two princes and the emperor was not far away, and the prince kept looking at the four sides, his eyes swept over the third prince who didn't say a word beside him, and laughed softly and slowly, "The third brother is idle this time, and he actually came with him." ”
The three princes' expressionless faces were still the same as usual, and the reflections of the three princes around him were printed in his dark eyes, only to see him move the corners of his mouth, and said in a cold tone: "I haven't been here before, but this time I have the opportunity to follow my father."
"Won't the imperial brother allow it?" The chamberlains who followed them were all deaf at this time, but they didn't hear the words of the two princes. The shadow of a huge tent had already appeared in front of him, and the prince looked at the tent and said with a smile: "How come, the third brother is here for the first time, but you have to have a good time."
The tone of the two people couldn't hear anything unusual, but the people around them were already terrified. The third prince had been unfavored before, and there was naturally no place for him in the matter of hunting in the royal hunting grounds. But now it is different, the emperor favors the three princes, and it is natural for the three princes to come this time.
And the other should be even more so, as the crown prince of the current dynasty, he has never been absent from such activities since he became an adult. These two people are among the best figures in the entire court, and if one is not careful, the person who serves them will lose their lives at any time.
Now that these two princes have come together, they have doubled the risk. Neither of these people is easy to mess with!
The entire royal hunting ground is ready. As soon as the emperor arrived, the officials who came in advance arrived early to greet him on the flat ground specially set aside outside the emperor's tent. The first day of the hunt will not begin, and today's activities are all preparations before the actual hunt.
It is customary to start with a bonfire in the evening. The emperor's tent was the main tent, and a large piece of flat land was left outside, and tables were set up on both sides at this time, waiting for it to start as soon as it was dark at night.
All the officials knelt down and saluted, and the prince found someone he didn't expect in the crowd. He looked at the man with undisguised eyes, and soon had an idea in his heart. He has never conceded defeat, there is only what he doesn't want, and there is nothing he can't want.
Zhao Qingyan inexplicably felt that a gaze was on her, she quietly raised her head, and this time she saw the man standing in front of her.
