Chapter 131: The Road is Narrow
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
The thin lips were tightly pursed into a line, although Chu Qinghe did not speak, but there was an extremely obvious yin owl color in his eyes, which was obviously not very happy.
Seeing this, Xue Su didn't know how to persuade him, so he had to sit on the round stool, fiddling with the vermilion vein with his little hands, and raising his eyes from time to time to take a look.
Soon it was the second day, and as soon as the sky was bright, Chu Qinghe got up. He was wearing a dark color suit, his tall body was like an iron tower, and his momentum was terrifying, Xue Su leaned on the head of the bed, his apricot eyes were full of smiles, and he stared directly at the man in front of him.
"Hurry up, the hunt begins today, and the ladies will also be present." He urged.
The woman nodded slightly, stepped on the embroidered shoes and went to the ground, chose a moonlight skirt from the cage, and her black hair was pulled up with a jade hairpin, her facial features were already very charming, even if the powder was not applied, only with the white skin and flesh like ice and snow, it could attract the attention of many people.
Seeing this delicate scene, Chu Qinghe's breath stagnated, and he couldn't wait to hide his little wife and not let others take a second look, after all, this was his private treasure, and he was really reluctant to show it.
Xue Su didn't know what he was thinking, and after packing up, he asked Chunlan to bring Liansheng over.
The little girl is delicate and not suitable for bright colors, but now she is wearing a green skirt, but she looks extremely delicate, standing with Xue Su, the two are like sisters.
At this moment, there are already a lot of people in the paddock, and the emperor and the concubine have not yet arrived, but the fifth prince Zhu Bin is sitting bored behind the desk.
Suddenly, he didn't know what he saw, his eyes were bright, and his long body was slightly stiff, like a beast staring at its prey.
Xue Su didn't notice anything unusual, she took Liansheng's hand, and as soon as she sat down, she found that Princess Jinyue was sitting next to her, and the road was really narrow.
"The courtiers have seen the princess." She saluted softly.
Taking the woman's delicate face into her eyes, Jinyue unconsciously remembered what Cheng Sanniang had said, those words were like thorns that could not be pulled out, piercing her heart, making her jealous and hateful to Xue Su, so that Cheng's family could completely overwhelm Yan Ruyu and become the most famous private restaurant in the capital.
"Madame, excuse me."
Even if she is angry in her heart, Jinyue is also a princess, and she will naturally not show clues on the surface, otherwise she will lose her identity, and others will not laugh at this village woman from Jingyang, but will think that she does not understand the rules.
Taking a sip of tea, she asked casually, "I heard that Mrs. is from Jingyang, and the water and soil should really raise people, otherwise how could you have such a beautiful appearance, so that the Marquis of Fuguo retired and married you." โ
At this moment, the mother and daughter of the Tan family were sitting not far away, hearing this, Tan Yuanqing frowned slightly, his eyes were focused on Xue Su, and his face was really not good.
"The princess laughed, the courtier's marriage with the marquis is not long, why he quit, the courtiers don't know."
Seeing that Xue Su didn't take the bait, Princess Jinyue sneered secretly and didn't say anything more.
After two quarters of an hour, His Majesty entered with all the concubines.
The emperor and queen sat in the first place, Xiao Yingnian was the most favored now, and he was on an equal footing with the imperial concubine, which really surprised Xue Su.
His Majesty is in the prime of life, even if he lives in Beijing all the year round to deal with political affairs, his momentum is not weak, he said a few words, and then took the lead on the horse, ready to come out on top.
A group of generals followed, and Chu Qinghe, as an auxiliary marquis, protected the emperor was his most important duty, so he naturally did not dare to ignore it.
The figures of the crowd soon disappeared into the dense forest, and the sound of horses' hooves faded away.
There are a lot of mosquitoes in the mountains, and Xue Su thought of this long before going out.
There are a lot of grease ointments in Yan Ruyu, one of which is called jasper paste, which is to mash nineteen kinds of fresh herbs into puree, boil them into ointment over low heat, and apply them to the body, which has a faint medicinal fragrance and the effect of repelling insects.
The capital is very lively, not a remote mountain forest, and snakes, insects, rats and ants are not overflowing, so there are not many people who buy jasper paste, but when they go to the West Mountain, which is hunting, this thing has become an indispensable thing.
Lian Sheng stared at the mosquitoes flying around, and whispered, "Auntie, give me jasper paste to use, you can see that I was bitten."
While speaking, the little girl pulled the cuffs up, and when she saw the redness and swelling on her wrist, Xue Suwei was really distressed, and took out a palm-sized porcelain box from her arms, and slightly dipped her ring finger in some translucent grease and rubbed it on the red and swollen flesh.
After a while, the annoying itch slowly dissipated, leaving only a piece of coolness.
Many of the ladies present were bitten by mosquitoes, and seeing this scene, some people tentatively asked, "Mrs. Chu, what is this?" โ
A faint smile appeared on his cheeks, and Xue Su said softly, "This is Yan Ruyu's jasper paste, which can repel insects and relieve itching, this time when I came to the paddock, it was nothing to encounter mosquitoes, I was afraid that there were centipedes and insects, etc., and I felt numb when I thought about it." โ
As she spoke, she handed the porcelain box to the lady who was asking, who smeared a little grease, only to feel that the tingling feeling was instantly suppressed, her eyes widened, her face was full of surprise, and she couldn't help but praise, "I thought that the things sold in the beauty shop were the best, but I didn't think that Yan Ruyu was not famous, and there were such good things." โ
When Princess Jinyue heard this, her delicate face became distorted with anger, and she couldn't help but sneer, "It's just a box of insect repellent ointment, and it really treats it as a treasure, and the Tai Hospital has also made a lot of medicinal powder, why haven't I seen you praise it so much?" โ
Hearing this, the lady's face swelled into the color of pig's liver, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, her husband had a high official position, and he was a second-class official, but even so, she couldn't contradict the princess.
Handing the porcelain box back to Xue Su, she sat in her place and didn't speak again.
If Xue Su remembers correctly, this lady who was squeezed, her husband happened to be Wang Youqing's peak, in charge of official evaluation and appointment, and the power was not small. She was so insulted by Jinyue, she would not be happy in her heart.
There were a lot of cakes on the table, but because they had been left for too long, they had already cooled down, and many birds flew down from the trees and pecked a few times from time to time.
A morning passed in a blink of an eye, during this time, Princess Jinyue was bitten by mosquitoes, and a lot of red envelopes were left on her face, her skin was already sensitive, and she couldn't withstand the toss at all.
Although there was no bronze mirror in the paddock, the slightest pain in her cheeks had made Jinyue realize the facts, her eyes were full of bloodshots, she gritted her teeth, and she only felt that everyone was laughing at her.
Standing up with a thud, she didn't want to be embarrassed anymore and planned to leave the paddock. If this appearance is seen by Youqing, he will definitely be very disappointed, if he is disgusted with her because of this, what should he do?
People say that women are pleasing to themselves, this is applicable to anyone, even if Jinyue's status is high, no matter how respectful her status is, she still can't escape a love word, she hopes that she can firmly occupy the heart of the horse, instead of pushing people farther and farther.
Unfortunately, before she could leave, a sound of horses' hooves approached, and it turned out that the person who was driving the horse to hunt had returned, and he had brought a lot of prey.
His Majesty took the lead, and he hunted a leopard that had just come of age, and with great difficulty, it took a lot of effort to shoot an arrow through the beast's eyeball, killing him instantly.
Chu Qinghe's martial arts are not bad, he killed a stag, and he had a thick bloody aura on his body.
Xue Su saw the man in the crowd at a glance, she stood up quickly, eager to step forward, but the female dependents sat firmly and never left, she was not good at behaving too much, so she had to press herself, staring at the man in the distance with a pair of watery eyes, her face was flushed, like a newly blooming peach blossom on the branch, gorgeous and delicate.
Facing such a hot gaze, Chu Qinghe only felt that his blood was rushing, his heart was beating extremely fast, his Adam's apple slid again and again, and he threw the stag to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.
whispered a few words to His Majesty, the man turned over and dismounted, and strode to his little wife, the strong smell of rust was very strong to the nose, but Xue Su did not dislike it, followed closely and left the women's seat.
Wang Youqing sat on the horse's back, coldly watching the figures of the man and woman disappear from sight, his slender fingers tightly grasped the horse's reins, the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out, and his mood was obviously not calm.
"Isn't that Jinyue?" The fifth prince suddenly spoke.
Hearing the voice, the man looked up and found Princess Jinyue standing in the corner, blocking her cheeks tightly with her wide water sleeves, not revealing anything, I don't know what was wrong.
"Your Highness doesn't have to worry, Weichen will go and take a look."
As he spoke, Wang Youqing rode up to Jinyue's side, and his voice was soft, like a breeze, "Yue'er, what's wrong with you?" โ
Jinyue replied in a muffled voice, "I was bitten by mosquitoes a few times, and it is fine, so don't worry about the horses." โ
His eyes flashed, Wang Youqing got off the horse, wrapped his long arms around the woman's shoulders, took the person away from the paddock, and after returning to the small courtyard, he coaxed softly, "Yue'er, husband and wife are the closest people in the world, can't you say anything to me?" โ
Jinyue's eyes were red, tears were falling down, she only felt that there was no better man in the world than a colt, she hesitated for a moment, slowly put her hand down, revealing that red and swollen face.
The originally fair and delicate skin is now covered with pimples the size of sesame seeds, and some of them are blistered, which is very obvious.
This appearance reminded Wang Youqing of Wei Yuying, who was disfigured by lead powder, his face remained unchanged, he pulled the woman to sit at the head of the bed, and his tone was more gentle, "Don't worry, the princess, the imperial doctor is clever, as long as she prescribes a few pairs of medicines, she can suppress the symptoms." โ
Holding the person in his arms, a trace of disgust crossed the man's phoenix eyes, and his stomach turned upside down, and he wanted to vomit it out, but because of Jinyue's identity, he couldn't do anything except appease.
