Chapter 151: Hunting
Now the three-legged trend has temporarily formed in the court, once the emperor learns that Concubine Shen was originally alive but is really killed, will the emperor directly turn against the queen mother, which will inevitably cause turmoil in the court.
Just as Yu Qing was hesitating, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Yu Qing.
The light was covered, and the distracted Yu Qing's heartbeat accelerated, and when she looked up, she found that it was the night charm, and she let out a long breath, yes, how could she have forgotten, there is this unfathomable secret guard by Concubine Shen's side, and he will definitely not let Concubine Shen have an accident.
"Night Charm, where is Concubine Shen?" Yu Qing asked.
Next, Night Charm said the most since Yu Qing had known him.
It turned out that it was because the emperor had stumbled here by mistake, and the queen mother had locked up Concubine Shen elsewhere after learning about it, and the herbs in the backyard were picked by Concubine Shen and sent over together.
Although the Queen Mother never went to the backyard, once she found out that there were herbs planted here, she would inevitably be suspicious, and Concubine Shen was reluctant to burn these herbs, so she could only take them all away, and if she wanted to have something in the future, she could also use it.
"Where is Concubine Shen imprisoned?" After confirming that Concubine Shen was well, Yu Qing was relieved and asked about the new location, so that it would be convenient to see her in the future.
Who knew that the night charm looked at her silently for a long time, and said coldly, "Shou'an Palace." ”
The Queen Mother dared to move Concubine Shen directly to her palace, Yu Qing was shocked, and after thinking about it, she felt that the Queen Mother was really clever.
Also, the most dangerous place is the safest place, who dares to easily search the Queen Mother's bedroom.
And people are the most reassuring when they are around, the Queen Mother has always suspected that someone is secretly visiting Concubine Shen, and now she is no longer worried.
It's just that in this case, after Yu Qing, he will no longer be able to come to see Concubine Shen, but a master like Ye Mei will naturally come and go freely.
Yu Qing and Ye Mei agreed that they would come to Changcang Hall regularly to ask about the situation of the concubine in the future, and if the concubine had something to explain, she could also tell her through Ye Mei, and if the situation was urgent, Ye Mei could go directly to Wenhua Palace to find her.
The autumn breeze is blowing, the sky is high and refreshing, and the autumn hunt that is expected to be sunny has finally arrived.
The team of travelers is extraordinarily strong, and Yu Qing sighed that the autumn hunt is a big migration of everyone in the entire palace.
The queen asked the emperor for his opinion and drew up a list of which palace concubines could travel with the holy car, except for some people that the emperor couldn't think of at all, most of the concubines were in the team for this trip.
What Yu Qing didn't expect was that the Queen Mother actually had to travel this autumn hunt, obviously her health was so bad, in case she got sick along the way, she must be a tossing person who would not be at peace.
In addition, princes and ministers, children of nobles, military generals and civil officials must participate, and they can bring their families together.
In such a large battle, guards, escorts, and personal soldiers are even more indispensable, the soldiers are dressed in military uniforms, the cavalry and infantry are neatly arrayed, and the royal flag is blazing in the autumn wind.
The number of hunters can reach as many as 10,000 people, the pomp and circumstance are unprecedented, Yu Qing sits in the chariot, lifts the curtain and looks, the team is not at a glance.
Fu Ankang happened to follow Yu Qing's frame, and when he saw Yu Qing lift the curtain and look out, the two looked at each other, and Yu Qing's eyes were undisguised amazing.
It was the first time she saw Fu Ankang wearing a military uniform, and the famous general on the frontier was really majestic, looked at each other and smiled, and put down the curtain after a sunny day.
The three people in the car, Yu Qing, Xi Yue, and Wan He were all excited, and only Feng Jingyuan slept sweetly in the specially made small bed.
After a long journey, the carriage was wide and comfortable and did not bump, and the huge team finally reached its destination.
"Little master, come down, the slave and maid will help you." Wanhe said.
Liangduohua got off the carriage first, Yu Qing stepped out of the carriage with the hand of the evening lotus, and looked up, it was all tents, and dozens of bright yellow tents surrounded by thousands of white ones, which only the emperor, the palace concubines, and the royal relatives and nobles could be stationed.
I took a deep breath, and even the air was exceptionally fresh.
"Little master, it's so nice here." Xiyue hugged Feng Jingyuan, her eyes were bright and she was happy.
Yu Qing smiled and didn't speak, where is it good, it is fresh for a while, it is good to live with the team for a few days, if you really live here for a long time, accompanied by beasts every day, I am afraid that Xiyue will not be able to say this.
The group walked to the assigned tent, and the autumn hunt lasted for three days, and the first day began in the afternoon.
The team arrived in the morning, just in time to give people enough time to rest, calm down the exertion of the journey, recharge their energy, and prepare for the afternoon hunt.
Of course, the soldiers can't rest, and the reason why it's called a hunt is that a large number of soldiers have to enter the paddock in advance.
The cavalry encircled the flat terrain, and sent infantry to the rugged places of the mountains and forests, selected a suitable range, approached from the outside to the inside, and gradually suppressed the encirclement, and no animals were allowed to escape during the hunting period.
Not long after Yu Qing sat down, the emperor came in, walked up to Yu Qing and stroked the top of her hair, and asked, "Are you still adapting?" ”
The emperor is also dressed in military uniform!
I have seen the majestic and upright appearance of the emperor's dragon robe, and I have also seen the elegant and arrogant noble son in the Golden Pavilion Temple, such a bold and heroic and extraordinary, she has seen it for the first time.
"The concubine is looking forward to the afternoon hunt!" Yu Qing raised her head and replied, her eyes clear and bright.
The emperor was obviously very satisfied with the appreciation that Yu Qing couldn't hide in his eyes, and smiled heartily, "Haha! If you want any prey, I'll help you fight it back. ”
"No, the emperor just pays attention to safety."
Yu Qing was fighting her own little Jiujiu in her heart, of course she wanted to fight the prey herself, and it was so boring for others to fight back.
Hearing this, the emperor was very ironed in his heart.
In the afternoon, Yu Qing learned that the female dependents could not go on the hunt, so they could only sit in the stands and wait for the men to come back, and at most they could judge the hunting objects they had hit.
No wonder the emperor asked her what prey she wanted, and Yu Qing suddenly lacked interest, and it was difficult to hide her disappointment.
The queen mother, the emperor, the palace concubine, and the ministers all sat on the platform set up in advance to talk and drink, and Yu Qing wondered why the hunt had not yet begun.
"Your Majesty, the concubine's father and brother have been preparing for this autumn hunt for a long time, especially my brother, I heard that my father was defeated by my brother."
The Queen Mother sat in the center, the emperor was on the left hand side of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was on the right hand side of the Queen Mother, and the Emperor was sitting next to Concubine Hua who was talking at this time.
"Oh? Then I have to drink a glass of wine, I wish Hua Aiqing and Hua Du a full return, both good results, come! The emperor laughed out loud when he heard this, raised his glass and saluted Hua Feng, Hua Du and the two.
The emperor ordered the competition to be the rule, starting from this afternoon and ending the next afternoon, whoever shoots the most prey will be rewarded.
Many people started practicing half a year in advance in order to win the emperor's reward, and Concubine Hua said this just to show the emperor how much their family values the emperor's words and deeds, and their loyalty can be seen.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" During the banquet, two people got up in response, raised their wine glasses to the emperor, and then drank down.
One of the older ones said: "What Concubine Hua said is true, the minister has indeed been defeated by the hands of the dog many times, the world is different, Lian is quite old, it is not as good as before, haha!" ”
Yu Qing followed the sound and looked over, no one below the concubine seat was qualified to sit on the stands, everyone sat on the left side of the lower head, and on the right side, it was the princes and ministers and their families who sat on the opposite side.
The person who spoke had a beard and a rough complexion, but he was not vulgar, and his manners and speech were all majestic and polite.
Although the meaning of the words is that he is humble and old, he is actually very muscular, very strong, even a few points stronger than the young men around him, and he should be a very powerful person.
"Back to the emperor, the ministers are just diligent and encouraged on weekdays, and Concubine Hua is really overrated!" The young man said.
These two should be Concubine Hua's father and elder brother, and they are also the only prince with a foreign surname in the dynasty, Erji Huafeng and his son Erji Huadu.
"Hua Aiqing is humble, and the son is also young and promising." The emperor said.
Yu Qing saw that the emperor treated Hua Feng with great respect, and lowered his eyes to think deeply, the Erji family should know about the officials and expand their own power, but he didn't know what he planned in his heart.
"Bang!" A flare rises into the air from the periphery, which means that the fence has been set up and the hunt can begin.
The big drum was beaten, and the soldiers released the animals that had been circled in advance, and the animals were even more frightened and panicked when they heard the sound of gongs and drums, and ran in all directions.
"Your Majesty, please!" Hua Feng said.
The emperor strode in front of the people, drew his bow under the gaze of everyone, shot the first arrow of the siege, and hit a sika deer with one arrow!
Morale was boosted, and everyone roared and galloped out in pursuit of their favorite prey.
Seeing this scene, Yu Qing also resurrected with full blood, so handsome!
didn't wait for more than a long time to enjoy it, and the queen asked all the concubines to watch the play not far away.
The queen has traveled many autumn hunts, so she naturally knows how boring it will be for the female dependents to come here, so this time she ordered someone to set up a stage in advance, invited a drama troupe from the people, and invited everyone to listen to the play together.
Yu Qing is not happy, she would rather see more of the men's demeanor, rather than see the women intriguing, but the queen is the queen, invited you, you can still refuse, besides, it is really not appropriate for Yu Qing to stay alone.
Yu Qing thought it was a simple stage, a few tables and chairs under the stage, who knew that the stage was very exquisite and exquisite, and it had the taste of Changyin Pavilion in the palace.
On the table under the stage, melons, fruits, and tea are also readily available, just like a large-scale tea party.
As soon as Yu Qing sat down, she heard the queen say: "I don't know what the sisters like to hear, this palace took it upon itself to order two first, there are excerpts of the repertoire, which one are you willing to listen to, just point it, and the palace will let people add it." ”
"The queen mother is thoughtful and well-arranged, and the concubines admire her." It was Concubine Jia who spoke.
Yu Qing sneered disdainfully, because Concubine Jia was still grounded, the emperor didn't want to take her, or she mentioned a few words about Concubine Jia in a greeting, and her words were full of dislike for Concubine Jia.
The queen has always looked at Yu Qing as proud, there is someone who can disgust Yu Qing in front of Yu Qing's eyes, and she naturally likes to see it.
After hearing this, he tried his best to plead with the emperor, so that the emperor agreed to lift Concubine Jia's grounding and accompany him to the autumn hunt.
Concubine Jia is grateful to the queen for this, and she has seized the opportunity to flatter her in the past two days, and the queen will not blow herself up, and she will gladly accept Concubine Jia's compliments.
