Chapter 118: Royal Winter Hunt
Lu Jiayue was completely cold to King Jin.
He was slighted by him several times and taught her how to endure it.
So he didn't deliberately inquire about the trial of the two lakes embankment case, and let the king of Jin deal with the toss himself.
It's just that life is still a little sad.
When I always fall asleep alone at night, as soon as I close my eyes, I can't help but think of how I felt when I was kissed by King Jin that day.
His hand was over her eyes, and then it was the same, and it was dark, as if he had closed his eyes, and he couldn't see anything.
The feeling of his lips being kissed by him is extraordinarily clear.
Soft, hot, and his breath, crisp and clean...
The clearer this feeling became, the more Lu Jiayue hated King Jin.
In the midst of this anger, before I knew it, winter was coming.
On the day of the beginning of winter, Ding Yu came to Qufu.
After the Qu family feasted in the flower hall in Mrs. Qu's upper room, Ding Yu followed Lu Jiayue back to Chuntang Residence.
"In a few days, the Holy Driver is going to Chixia Mountain to hunt for winter, and my mother said, let me invite you to go with me."
Lu Jiayue didn't want to go.
One is afraid of the cold, the other is the royal winter hunting, she is an ordinary official daughter, and she doesn't want to join in the fun.
Ding Yu coaxed her again: "Or go with me, winter hunting is very fun, last year my second uncle also found a nest of rabbits in the snow, snow-white and snow-white, raised in a cage, it is also interesting." If you go, let my second uncle find two more litters for us, bring them back and give two to Sister Wei, and make sure she likes it too. ”
Lu Jiayue couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Ding Yu said again: "Since it is a winter hunt, it is necessary to live in the palace of Chixia Mountain, and the palace is not as strict as that of Ouchi, so we will go, that is, follow my mother to accompany the queen's aunt, no one can restrain us." ”
Lu Jiayue thought for a while and said, "Then I have to ask the old lady and aunt what they mean, and see if they allow me to go." ”
Ding Yu said with a smile: "If your grandmother and aunt don't allow you to go, I will personally find a nest of rabbits for you to come back." ”
So the two went together to tell Mrs. Qu and Meng.
Meng didn't say anything, but Old Madam Qu strongly agreed.
In this way, Lu Jiayue had to agree to Ding Yu.
*
On the sixteenth day of the winter month, the holy car set off for the winter hunting in Chixia Mountain.
One thousand golden feather guards opened the way in front of the head, and two thousand feather forest troops were divided into two teams to protect the holy car.
There are not only queen concubines, but also princes and princesses, and noble ministers. The holy drive is in front, the Ming and Huanglong Banners are swaggering fiercely in the cold wind of winter, and a line of cars and horses is mighty, stretching before and after, and there are always dozens of miles long.
Like Lu Jiayue, officials and dependents all follow Feng Jia, and arrange the carriage in the order before and after according to the official rank of the family.
Because of the identity of the Suiguo Mansion, the carriage in which Qu Yi and Ding Yu and Lu Jiayue were sitting was naturally following Queen Ding's phoenix drive.
Now that it has not snowed yet, Lu Jiayue sat in the carriage and lifted the curtain to look out, and the grass and trees were yellow, and the sky was also dim, and the horizon in the extreme distance seemed to be connected to the horizon, and it was impossible to distinguish which was the sky and which was the earth.
Suddenly, a familiar figure came into view.
It was Ding Can riding on a horse, dressed in a vermilion uniform, with a satin and gold python pattern cloak on his shoulders, a saber around his waist, and a helmet on his head, and the Zhu Ying on the hat swayed in the wind, looking more dignified and majestic than when he wore the official robe and unicorn suit of the commander of the Golden Feather Guard.
When he saw Lu Jiayue in the carriage, his eyebrows were instantly as warm as water.
... The little girl is really here.
I heard that I was sick a month ago, but I did lose some weight...
It's been months since we've seen each other, and I wonder if she's ever thought of him?
Lu Jiayue saw Ding Can at this time, and unexpectedly realized that she hadn't seen him for several days, and not only that, but she hadn't thought of him once.
"Second uncle...", lowered his eyes and called him, but he didn't want to look at him.
He smiled and answered, and was about to ask her another question, when she turned her head and lowered the curtain.
The cold wind blew wantonly on his face.
It hurts a little.
He could have ridden in a carriage by himself, with a charcoal stove in his arms, and he didn't have to suffer from the cold wind.
But then, along the way, it will be difficult to see this little girl.
Only when you are on a horse can you walk back and forth at will, and you can see her at any time.
Ding Can's heart was full of disappointment.
But I haven't seen him for a few months, and the little girl is so cold to him.
He raised his eyes and looked back.
His eyes fell on the carriage in which King Jin was riding.
... Yes, the King of Jin is back, and the little girl is full of thoughts, so she has gone with the King of Jin.
The cold wind blew on his face, but it hurt like a knife in his heart.
The eyebrows became cold and deep again, and Ding Can slowly urged the horse and went forward.
*
The Chixia Mountains were four or five hundred miles away from the city of Kyoto, and the holy car traveled slowly and it was difficult to reach in a day's work, and at dusk, he set up camp in a flat and wide field.
When it was dark, hundreds of tents, countless torches, and blazing firelight lit up the inky black night sky over the field.
Lu Jiayue and Qu Yi Ding Yu's mother and daughter were in Queen Ding's tent and accompanied them to dinner.
The female envoy outside the tent suddenly said: "The lord of Baoqing came to say goodbye to the queen." ”
Empress Ding was a little surprised: "What is she doing at this time...?" ”
However, the envoy was still passed in.
is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, with a slight body and a pretty appearance, learning from a man to wear a strong suit, showing a bit of sassy and heroic.
After saluting Queen Ding, his eyes were sparkling, and he glanced at the people in the tent.
His eyes finally fell on Lu Jiayue.
said that it was Dao'an, but it was indeed just a goodbye to Queen Ding, and then went out.
Ding Yu knew that Lu Jiayue didn't know the lord of Baoqing, so he whispered to her: "It's Xu Mingli, the daughter of the Duke of Xiangguo, you should know about the Duke of Xiangguo?" The queen mother's foreign family, the current Xiangguo justice is the queen mother's own nephew, and Xu Mingli's county lord honor was given to the queen mother when she was alive..."
As he spoke, he pursed his lips, not very happy.
"Last time my second uncle beat her brother Xu Mingzhao, don't you know how much of a bastard her brother is, he is a famous swinger in Kyoto City..."
Lu Jiayue listened quietly and did not squeak.
After a while, he asked Ding Yu with a light smile: "Why did the second uncle beat him?" ”
Ding Yu looked stunned and sighed.
"I can't say... It's also that my second uncle was too impulsive and reckless, and he was reprimanded by the saint for this, which is really not cost-effective. ”
Lu Jiayue smiled again.
In fact, I know it well, so why bother asking?
*
After Xu Mingli came out of the tent in the middle palace, in the dark shadow outside the tent, a small inner supervisor appeared and quietly followed her.
Walking to a remote and uninhabited place, Xu Mingli stopped, turned around and asked the little inner supervisor: "How, can you see her appearance clearly outside the tent?" ”
The little inner supervisor nodded, "I can see it clearly, I can see it clearly, the county lord can rest assured, the villain will definitely get things done for the county lord." ”
Xu Mingli smiled with satisfaction, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
"Remember to be neat, I have prepared a heavy reward for you, just wait for you to receive it after you have done it."
*
Lu Jiayue and Ding Yu's tent was next to each other, and after having dinner with Queen Ding, they chatted again, then came out and went back to their tents.
Because it was the first time for Lu Jiayue to live in a tent, she felt very novel and interesting, Xin Zhu was busy making the bed and spreading the quilt, so she walked around the tent at will to watch.
Suddenly, someone outside the tent whispered to her.
"Miss Lu, Miss Lu..."
So she went over, lifted the curtain of the door, and saw a little inner eunuch standing outside the tent.
She smiled and said, "What's the matter with my father-in-law?" ”
The little inner eunuch's expression was a little urgent, and he said in a very low voice: "... It was His Royal Highness the King of Jin who sent the villain, saying that he wanted to see Miss Lu. ”
