Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Dog

Mu Beiyi came to see her in person, which meant that she was cured, and it was not good for her to be lazy and idle all day. Greeting Concubine Mi De every day is not only cumbersome, but also a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the news at home is a happy event. It's just that such a happy event is also a trivial matter, except for the fact that Pillow Spring is really happy in his heart, he doesn't have to be cared for by others. If you want to talk about the major events in the palace, it is the time when the seams are flying and the flowers are flying, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the sky is harmonious and clear, and the son of heaven is hunting in spring.

The royal hunting of the Great Wei Kingdom in the past dynasties was in autumn, and the ancestors respected Confucianism, paying attention to the season when everything germinates in spring, and it is not suitable to kill. However, Mu Beiyi recently heard that the spring fish in the south of the Yangtze River were fat, and he saw many animal skins in the snow in Mobei. I didn't know which piece of itchy flesh in my heart I was tickling to, and said: "The Taoists still say that heaven and earth are unkind and all things are dogs." In autumn and spring, everything is a dog. Ignoring the pedantic sighs of several old men in the court, he rushed to the spring hunt.

This spring hunt will go for a total of five days, in the royal enclosure Tai'an Jinlin under the Lishan Mountain.

The choice of chaperone is very interesting. Concubine Qi's body is not as good as before, and Concubine Mi De has to take care of the six palaces. Looking down, Lian Yueyang wants to take the eldest prince, Liu Anran is still grounded, and the jade nobleman is pregnant. Therefore, the people who were ordered to accompany them were Yajieyu, Xue Chuling, Pillow Chun and Duanmuruo, a total of four people.

Pillow Chun pondered, Concubine Qi Shu's momentum was not as good as before, and now she has to rush to accompany her, how can she deliberately excuse her illness. Xuan even understood that this was to make way for Zhen Wanyi Xue Chuling. Even if Concubine Qi Shu was vaguely revealed, how could she dare to pretend not to understand. Only wore a narrow-sleeved full-breasted skirt that had rained over the sky and blue, and wore a silver shawl. A pair of hollow silver hairpins decorated with plum patterns, then combed back to the heart bun, and a round tourmaline was embedded in the back of the heart bun. Because of the simplicity of the light car, he only had to take one person with him for the position of pillow spring, so he pointed to the most secure Su Bai to serve with him.

After breakfast, an internal official came to pass the word. Pillow Chun went out of Yongning Palace, and saw that there were two soft sedan chairs waiting outside Yongning Palace, Duanmu Ruo was already waiting, and when he saw Pillow Chun coming, let her go first: "Sister." ”

When Pillow Chun met her, he felt that she was more gentle, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but you look better." ”

This is not the time to speak, the two of them got on the soft sedan car for the first time. Walking all the way, I entered the wide palace road from the left Yintai Gate.

On the palace road, four carriages with wooden rings hanging jade bells were parked. The first car was ridden by three horses, and the last three were all two. Zhuchun stood by the side of the road and waited, and suddenly saw Yajieyu and Xue Chuling coming, bowing her head and going down. The four of them were all concubines, and they were not qualified to enter and exit from the main entrance, so they had to take the car from the left silver gate. The three horses are only the ones that the mother can sit on, and Yajieyu has a sedan chair that falls on the side of the car, and she is still gentle and considerate: "Sisters, get up quickly, don't be restrained." ”

The four of them chatted a few words and took advantage of the hour to get into the car.

The carriage and horse traveled to the outside of the Danfeng Gate, and with the mighty royal honor guard, they went towards Tai'an Jinlin.

Pillow Spring is the concubine of the Son of Heaven, there is a beaded curtain hanging from the car window, and she quietly opens a section to look out. At that glance, I saw the imperial city under the warm spring sun, warm and bright, exactly the same as when she came a year ago. This is her first time to see the sky outside the palace wall, the blue sky and the fresh weeping willows on the side of the road, which makes people miss the sound of selling very much.

But the carriages and horses could not stop for her, and the team of thousands of hunters left without stopping, leaving only smoke and dust.

By the time we arrived at Jinlin in Tai'an, it was already dark. Outside the hunting ground, the Lishan Palace was built, and the Son of Heaven lived in the Hall of Wisdom. The palace is exquisite, the courtyard rockery, a total of 3721 buildings and courtyards. Now there are only four concubines who accompany them, so they only arrange to wear clouds, spend the moon, be pure, and be delicate. Pillow Spring followed the inner servant to Qingxin Garden, passed by a lotus pond, passed through the corridor for two or three, and then walked through the bamboo forest.

In this way, he felt a little remote, so he asked Su Bai: "Is the small garden of this palace so secluded?" ”

Su Bai said: "That's not the case. The nearest one behind the Wisdom Hall is Duyue Garden, which is allocated to Zhen Wanyi. Yajieyu has to go through the cloud garden on the opposite side of the bamboo forest, and as for Duanmu Beauty, she is next to us. ”

"Concubine Qi must have put a lot of thought into it." Pillow Chun looked around at the Qingxin Garden, the furnishings were quite elegant, and there were some seasonal flowers in the porcelain vase on the case, but he also liked it, "Your Majesty has to hunt during the day, and you are tired when you rest far away at night." Simply Zhen Wanyi got closer, she naturally shouldered a heavy responsibility. Laughing and joking, "I'm not as stubborn as her." You invite Duanmu Beauty to come over for a meal later, and later we will steal some tender spring bamboo shoots and fry them tomorrow. ”

At night, it was naturally the lights that illuminated Xue Chuling's Duyue Garden, and he was playing happily in the spring, and Duanmu Ruo was not a lady. The palace is secluded, there are few insects, birds, and civet slaves, and the two of them are teasing cats and dogs, climbing trees, eating and drinking, and being presumptuous.

Before dawn the next day, Su Bai woke up the pillow spring who was a little hungover. It was very troublesome to dress up, so I first ended my hair with beads and wore a bearded skirt and deerskin boots with narrow sleeves. The Pillow Spring Hu skirt was rewarded from above, with a silver-red skirt inlaid with black embroidered brocade edges, an inner lining with a Guo Luo belt and lapels, and a light pony whip. She also wore such a bearded skirt when she played with her second brother in the past, and it was only enough to shout and chase on the horse farm, and it was still a little insufficient to hunt in the huge royal forest.

Mu Beiyi didn't intend to let his concubines really go to the hunting ground to shoot deer and eagles, as long as they wore riding boots and horses, it was enough. The Great Wei Dynasty was civilized and civilized, and it was the world that was won on horseback. Mu is a descendant of the Xianbei Murong family, all the way from Saibei to Lejing, riding horses and archery is the ability of Zhenguo. Therefore, the Great Wei Kingdom re-rode the royal family, and the nobles of Gyeonggi were exposed to it, and they had seen and played since they were children, and it was enough to ride two steps. is as playful as Pillow Spring, and there are not a few women from the official eunuch family who can play polo and pull a light bow.

The concubines are dressed in fine makeup, beautiful and noble, riding vigorous horses, and serving on the side of the Son of Heaven. This is Mu Beiyi's face, the royal relatives and nobles who want to come to spring hunting take a look, and his harem is also very scene.

When I arrived at Jinlin in Tai'an, I saw the fragrance of endless grass, and I could vaguely see a green forest a few miles away. After the forest, you can see the continuous peaks at the northern foot of Lishan, and the green clouds rolling on the top of the mountain. The wind is blowing warm and gentle, and the yurt and stable have been built at the end of the sea of flowers, and there are small servants who lead the pillow spring to pick up horses.

Pillow Chun was a little woman in his heart, and when he saw a white horse, there was a little ink between his eyebrows, and he asked the waiter: "Take this one out and take a look." ”

The waiter said: "Little Lord An Concubine, this horse has a strong temperament, and it is called 'Shocking Snow'." ”

The horse was ordered, and the pillow spring touched it, and then asked the chamberlain to lead it to the pasture.

After turning around hundreds of yurts, I saw the endless crimson flags and honor guards. The nobles of the court, the princes and nobles, the relatives of the foreign clans, the princes and princes of all walks of life, and the powerful ministers of the court. All fresh clothes are angry horses, clothes are flying, lichen carpets are luxuriously decorated, and there are more wine and meat sheng songs.

At the laughter banquet, Mu Beiyi rode a horse covered in red blood and visible bones, and he had a somewhat eye-watching posture to the world.

A few palace ladies stepped forward to put on brocade cloaks for the concubines, and sang again: "Please ladies and little masters get on the horse." ”
