Chapter 256: Preparing for the Autumn Hunt
It's past mid-October, and it's late autumn when it's time for autumn hunting.
After the emperor heard about Lan Yao being sent back to his hometown, the suspicion in his heart disappeared with Lan Yao's departure. The emperor naturally knew that Fu Guogong sent Lan Yao back to his hometown in order to show his loyalty and say that the rumors were completely groundless.
In fact, he also knew the loyalty of the Fu Guogong. Fu Guogong is an old minister, and he has done his best for Zhao Guo, and his loyalty is naturally unquestionable.
Thinking of the rumors among the ministers of the imperial court, the emperor squinted, Chen Zhi had been in Zhao for a long time. He took this opportunity to put Chen Zhi under house arrest in the palace in order to supervise him at all times. In the past two years, the relationship between Zhao and Qi has become worse and worse, and it is still peaceful on the surface, but secretly it has been contested several times.
Chen Zhi is the son of the emperor of Qi State, as long as Chen Zhi is still in Zhao State, even if the emperor of Qi State wants to do something to Zhao State, he has concerns and does not dare to do it easily.
He put down the fold in his hand and beckoned to his father-in-law, who was waiting on the side.
When the father-in-law saw it, he immediately stepped forward, "What does the emperor command?" ”
The emperor pressed the corner of his eye, "It's already past October." He asked.
The father-in-law has been by the emperor's side for a long time, and he is naturally already a good person, and he has read the emperor's every word and deed very thoroughly. Now that the emperor only asked about the month, he answered very smartly: "If you go back to the emperor, it is already mid-October, and at this time in previous years, you will invite the royal family and nobles to hunt in autumn." ”
The emperor nodded, "Then you can arrange it." ”
"Wow." The father-in-law slowly withdrew.
Every year in the autumn hunt, the emperor will invite some ministers, officials and princes to the hunting ground for autumn hunting, and this year is no exception.
Now that the emperor's order has come down, all the people in charge have begun to prepare. The horses ridden by various officials and princes during the autumn hunt must be carefully selected, and spare bows and arrows must also be prepared one by one.
Xiao Yuan was depressed all day long because of Lan Yao's departure, and he didn't even go to the Prime Minister's Mansion much. Xiao Rin saw it in his eyes and knew that Xiao Yuan was reluctant to let Lan Yao, but the person had already left, and there was nothing he could do. Xiao Rin thought of the news that had just come from the palace, so he came to Xiao Yuan's courtyard to ask her if she wanted to go, and if she wanted, he could naturally take her with him.
"No, no." After hearing this, Xiao Yuan directly refused, "I'm in a bad mood these days and don't want to go." She didn't even look at Xiao Rin, and continued to fiddle with the flowers in the potted plant.
Xiao Rin's expression changed slightly, "Since you are in a bad mood, you should go out more." ”
"There are too many things to pay attention to when you go to autumn hunting, although your sister and I have good horseback riding skills, but if we make a fool of ourselves then, won't it be a shame for our general's mansion?" Xiao Kite took the scissors handed by the maid Suixi, and carefully cut off some of the dead branches and leaves on them.
She won't tell her brother what she really thinks. Xiao Yuan tilted her head and pretended to look at the flowers attentively, but she was muttering in her heart, if you hunt in autumn, Doctor Yu Shi will definitely come, what if Yang Qin also goes with her? She never goes through things in her head, what if she doesn't hold back and goes directly to Yang Qin to stir up trouble? That's a problem.
Although Xiao Yuan knew that someone had released the rumors under the pretense of Dr. Yu Shi, she still felt in her heart that it was Yang Qin and Dr. Yu Shi who had to leave the capital and separate from them because of their death. So naturally I hate this father and daughter very much in my heart.
Xiao Rin raised her eyebrows, her sister has become quite well-behaved now. It's all the credit of Jing Ning. Near Zhu is red.
"Okay, since you don't want to go, then I won't force you." Xiao Rin thought for a while, and then continued, "Since you don't go to autumn hunting, then you have time." I see you're so boring, let's go to Jingning these days. ”
Xiao Kite's hand moved, and a blooming flower fell on the soil. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she thought to herself angrily, where was she bored, huh? She's obviously very busy, although she's all busy.
Xiao Rin didn't care what Xiao Kite's mood was now, probably she must have said in her heart that she had a daughter-in-law and forgot her sister. Xiao Rin frowned slightly, the relationship between Jing Ning and Lan Yao was also very good, and now that Lan Yao left, Jing Ning was also very sad in his heart. Let Xiao Yuan, this girl, go to her side more, and walk around.
Xiao Yuan knew that Xiao Rin was worried about Jing Ning, and she and Jing Ning didn't see each other again in the past few days after they returned home after sending them off that day, and they didn't know if Jing Ning was also worried about the premature death.
"Okay, okay, I'll do it." Xiao Yuan held the accidentally cut flowers in her hands in distress, and stretched out to Xiao Rin's eyes angrily, "Brother, you pay for my chrysanthemums." "This is the ink chrysanthemum that Jing Ning gave her, and it is very precious.
Xiao Rin lowered his eyes lightly, "It's just a flower, I'll pay for it." ”
"This was given to me by Jing Ning!" Xiao Yuan emphasized angrily.
As soon as he heard that it was sent by Jing Ning, Xiao Rin's eyes flickered, his expression did not change, and his tone was calm, "I'll ask the housekeeper to find you another pot of such chrysanthemums in a while, okay?" ”
Xiao Yuan was a little surprised, how could his brother be so good at talking today, it wasn't like this before. Before she could figure it out, Xiao Rin spoke up again: "Since you will have a new bonsai in the future, then I will take this one." ”
Xiao Yuan was stunned, and gritted his teeth after coming back to his senses: "No." She just said, Xiao Rin didn't have such a good heart, and as soon as she heard that it was sent by Jing Ning, she wanted to take it to him, no!
Xiao Rin coughed lightly, although he felt a little embarrassed, but he was thick-skinned, so he didn't care about this embarrassment, "You already have one, don't be so greedy." And you cut off this chrysanthemum, and I didn't blame you for being angry with you. Xiao Rin looked at the empty flower branch, and was a little unhappy in his heart, when will this girl be careless.
Xiao Yuan was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood, did she blame herself for the flowers being cut off? It's not that this person is talking on the side and interfering with himself, and he cut it off with a shake of his hand. I'm the culprit, and I'm embarrassed to say that she?
Xiao Rin didn't care whether Xiao Yuan was willing or not, thinking that there were originally two chrysanthemums and now there was only one left, she felt very uncomfortable, and directly asked the little girl next to her to move the flower pot.
The little guy came over and moved the flower pot away, Xiao Yuan stretched out his hand to stop it, but was glared at by Xiao Rin, and watched Xiao Rin snatch things in front of him unwillingly.
"Alright, I'll ask the butler to bring you a new pot of ...... in a moment Mo Ju, this is it. Xiao Rin said, "Remember to accompany Jing Ning." After speaking, Xiao Rin was in a good mood and walked out of Xiao Kite's yard.
"Miss......" Sui Xi carefully observed the expression on her young lady's face on the side, and didn't dare to step forward.
"Prepare the car, Miss Ben is going to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Xiao Yuan gritted her teeth, she had to go to Jingning to sue you fiercely, who let you bully me and rob me of things.
Sui Xi responded and hurriedly went out to let people prepare the car, the young lady's expression was too terrifying, and she began to worry about the young master.
