Chapter 229: The Autumn Hunt Begins

Ti Hong, who had been paying attention to the situation just now, said with a puzzled face: "Why did this Miss Zhang give Miss you a head?" We have nothing to do with the Zhang family! ”

Luo Qingqian opened the curtain again and looked, in front of the carriage was a mighty royal procession, and the carriage of their group of noble ladies followed the holy car of the Queen Mother, and the appearance was also very spectacular.

She lowered the curtain and replied: "Actually, Zhang Xin is not a bad person, but she is just a little arrogant by her parents." But it is still possible to distinguish between right and wrong. It can be seen from the fact that she knows that I am a woman, but still patronizes the Lady Pavilion, that she actually regards me as a friend. ”

"I see," Ti Hong suddenly smiled: "It's still Miss who is powerful, and even Miss Zhang's matter can be settled." ”

Luo Qingqian shook her head and smiled bitterly, she was so powerful there, but she just happened to meet a girl like Zhang Xin.

can transform the love for men into friendship, this Zhang Xin is also powerful. I really want to have a good chat with her when I have the opportunity, and thank her for slapping Luo Qingchu in the face today and giving herself anger.

The autumn hunt began.

The emperor's guard of honor walked in the front, and walked out of the city gate in the surrounding people kneeling and worshipping, and walked for nearly half a day to the foot of a mountain forest.

Emperor Long Yunqing announced that he would set up camp again, and everyone immediately took action.

Hesitating Long Yunche was not there, the matter of directly protecting the emperor's safety was handed over to Ouyang Yichen, who had been promoted to the commander of the Praetorian Guard.

At this moment, Ouyang Yichen was dressed in silver-white armor, with a helmet of the same color on his head, his face was grim, and the original smile on his face was gone.

After receiving the task of stationing here, Ouyang Yichen did not dare to be sloppy at all, and ordered everyone to maintain the camp tents of the emperor and the empress dowager.

Even though the autumn hunt was only one day, Ouyang Yichen still didn't dare to be careless.

After the Praetorian Guards were settled, the affairs responsible for the placement and safety of other personnel were handed over to some people in the military department, including the Zuojia Army and the second and third elders of the Luo family in Beijing.

The ministers who followed were placed on the right side of the emperor's tent, and the rest of the nobles who had been invited were placed on the left.

Considering that all the women who came, and they were also invited by the Queen Mother and the Empress, the camp of these girls was only separated by a fence between the Queen Mother and the Empress, and there were not too many soldiers in between.

But on the periphery of the noble girl, an additional Zuojia army was sent to protect the safety of this group of delicate beauties.

When all the tents were settled, everyone got out of the wagons. Kneel down together to greet the emperor and the queen mother, the empress.

Luo Shangshu, who was in charge of etiquette, stepped forward to read the autumn hunting decree after the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen took the throne.

The content first praised the actions of Emperor Long Yunqing, then mentioned the importance of a country's strong force, and finally said that in order to show the strength of the proud dynasty, this autumn hunt was carried out.

And explain that there are no rules for this autumn hunt, before dark, whoever shoots the biggest and most prey will be the winner of today's autumn hunt.

And this year's autumn hunt winner will be rewarded with a precious treasure that is unique in the world. As for what treasure, the emperor didn't say anything, and seemed to deliberately leave a suspense.

After Luo Shangshu finished reading it, he bowed down and retreated. The emperor stood up from the high platform and said with a smile: "Today's autumn hunting, it's time for our imperial soldiers to show their backs!" You generals, don't you always clamoring to show this group of civil servants a little bit on weekdays. Today, I will give you this opportunity! ”

He pointed to the dense jungle not far ahead, and said, "Ride your horses, bring your bows and arrows, and bring back the best prey for me!" ”

"Yes!"

The generals standing on the side agreed in unison, and the sound shook people's eardrums.

Each military general has a tall horse beside him, and after these generals responded, they all turned over and got on the horse, their movements were neat and uniform, and they really looked exciting.

Led by a white-bearded old general-like man, he raised his bow and arrow upwards and said, "Obey the will of God!" ”

All the generals behind him also raised their bows and arrows, and said in unison: "Obey the will of the Holy Lord!" ”

Emperor Long Yunqing smiled and waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”

The generals immediately turned their horses' heads, and with their relatives behind them, they rushed into the distance like a tsunami.

Emperor Long Yunqing looked at the soldiers who were riding their horses and galloping, with a smile on his face and a look of yearning in his eyes.

I think that back then, he and his eleventh brother were when they were young, and when they participated in the autumn hunt before, they also rode horses like this, and they were extremely happy.

But that is no longer the case.

When he sat in this position, it meant losing a lot of fun.

"Your Majesty," a person suddenly stood up among the ministers who were standing in a column, and said to Shi Li: "The emperor just asked the generals to compare with our ministers, and the ministers think it's unfair. ”

Everyone looked at the person who came and found that it was Zuo Xuan, the son of the Zuo family.

Zuo Xuan was still dressed in a long robe, and standing on Wenchen's side, he did look like a personable son.

The emperor smiled and said, "Zuo Xuan, you are a person who knows bows and arrows, why did you run to Wenchen's side, hurry up and bring a horse to Zuo Gongzi." ”

Zuo Xuan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you sealed Zuo Xuan as the imperial history a few days ago, this is Wenchen." Of course, the minister must be in the ranks of the civil ministers. ”

When the emperor heard this, he turned his head and said to the Empress Dowager Zuo with a smile: "Empress Dowager, this kid has become so sharp-tongued now, it seems that I am not wrong to let him be the imperial history." ”

Empress Dowager Zuo also smiled: "Your Majesty, the autumn hunting map is a lively one." Military attachΓ©s can go hunting in the mountains, and those who are good at riding and archery can also join in the fun, and they can also do activities at the foot of the mountain. ”

The emperor nodded, turned to Empress Mu and said, "Your brother is here too?" ”

Empress Mu nodded and said, "It's here." ”

The emperor raised his voice and said, "Mu Yubin stepped forward. ”

Mu Yubin, who was standing at the end, heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down: "The minister is here"

The Emperor said, "I know that you are good at riding and shooting. Today, I ordered you and Zuo Xuan to be the representatives of Wenchen, and you can go to the forest to compete with those generals. If you hunt good prey, you will be rewarded. ”

Mu Yubin and Zuo Xuan hurriedly knelt down to receive the order, and then got on the horse brought by the eunuch, and the two took their respective servants and rode into the forest.

The emperor looked at the rest of the ministers and smiled: "Okay, I really know that there are also archery among you, if you have the ability, you can also go to the foot of the mountain to hunt, but pay attention to safety, you are all my Pythagorean ministers, there can be no mistakes." ”

The ministers immediately knelt down and thanked him. Several young Wenchen got up and walked into the distance with their own people.

And the rest are basically some old masters and female dependents.

Gonggong Mo, who was beside the Queen Mother, leaned over and said something in the Queen Mother's ear, and the Queen Mother immediately said suddenly: "Your Majesty, look at my memory." I knew that today's autumn hunt would be boring, so I also invited some noble ladies to accompany me and the queen. ”

As she spoke, she said to Mo Gonggong: "Let them come over." ”

Everyone knows that the autumn hunt invites noble girls to follow, which is actually a disguised preparation for the draft. After everyone lowered their heads, they reserved the best positions for the women.

These girls came under the leadership of Gonggong Mo, and when they arrived at the stage, they knelt down to the emperor and others on the stage according to etiquette.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, a group of girls of all ages are dressed up and displayed with flowers, and as far as the eye can see, they are indeed like beautiful flowers blooming, charming and fragrant.

Empress Dowager Zuo said with a smile on her face: "You all say your name." ”

"The eldest daughter of the Ministry of Rites - Luo Qingchu." Luo Qingchu stood in the first place, her posture was upright, her eyes were slightly drooping, her etiquette was impeccable, and her voice was even more refreshing like a yellow bird out of the valley.

Behind her is the gentle and generous Li Ruoxi, the daughter of Scholar Li, followed by Chen Kerong and Zhang Xin.

One by one, the girls reported their identities, until the end, Luo Qingqian slowly spoke: "Little girl Luo Qingqian." ”

The person who heard this self-proclaimed person was stunned. immediately understood that Luo Qingqian's father had passed away, even if her brother was still an official in the court, but logically speaking, she no longer belonged to the official family.

When she was in Luo Shangshu's Mansion, she could barely call herself a courtier, but now she has been driven out by Luo Shangshu, so now she is just a civilian woman.

But it is such a woman of status, and she still sees the ladies of the dynasty, you can imagine how special she is.
