Chapter 15: Spring Hunting (1)
"Toot beet. The loud trumpets were shouted in unison.
The Taiping Mountain behind the palace has changed from the dullness of the past at this moment, and it is very lively.
The tents set up were at the foot of the mountain, and the courtiers were lined up on either side, and the horses beside them were all tall and tall, raising their heads and legs, and they couldn't resist the galloping heart.
The surrounding soldiers were heavily surrounded by a large circle, effectively blocking out the inconsequential people.
"Yo, isn't this Lord Gan?"
"Master Xin, this must be Gongzi Xin, who has grown so big. “
"No, I heard that Lord Gan's daughter is also here, so she should be about the same age as my child. “
"Yes, make tea with her mother in the back, wait for the hunt, do you want to go on it yourself?"
"I can't do it anymore, but if I want to go, let's stay with me. “
"Hahaha. Lord Xin is a treasure sword. “
In the tent, there were various seats, facing rows of horses, and most of the courtiers were also seated, greeting each other, talking about their parents' shortcomings, or pulling their own connections. The reason why they have not started the hunt is because they are waiting for the final finale to appear. And this person is the emperor of the dynasty.
If it really means that Cao Cao Cao has arrived, the emperor's chariot is heading here.
"The emperor has arrived. As soon as the chariot reached the edge of the hunting ground, the eunuch shouted loudly for a long time, and all the courtiers, including the family members and female dependents behind, all stopped talking, lowered their heads, blessed their bodies, and waited for the arrival of the emperor.
The chariot is draped in transparent gauze, and it can be vaguely seen that inside the chariot, there are two people sitting in the chariot, one big and one small, one tall and one short.
To everyone's surprise, after the emperor's chariot, there was a chariot that slowly drove in, no, two, oh my God, there was one, a total of four chariots. Each chariot has the symbol of the Taiping royal family, that is, the first one is the emperor and the queen, and the next three are the concubines.
This has never been done before. Traditionally, the spring hunt is carried out by the emperor and the queen, at most, there will only be one chariot, and other concubines are not allowed to go. I didn't expect to bring three concubines this time.
This strange phenomenon immediately aroused the discussion of the ladies brought by the courtiers. It was also because the ladies themselves were in the tents behind the courtiers, and although they also greeted the chariots, they were not afraid of being heard.
"Why are there two chariots?" said an official wife who didn't know which one it was, and whispered to the official wife who was chatting beside her.
"Haven't you heard? The queen on the earth is an eight-year-old girl, perhaps because she was afraid that the girl would not be able to host such a big scene, so she sent three newly sealed concubines. “
"Eight years old? I heard that the new queen of the emperor is a descendant of the Yan family, but I didn't expect it to be an eight-year-old girl. “
"Yes, I'm also surprised, didn't it mean that the descendants of the Yan family can't intermarry with the emperor? But the rebellion of the first emperor was also saved by the witch envoy, and the first emperor also made the witch envoy the queen?"
"Yes, but do you know who the three concubines are?"
"I heard that there is the daughter of Lord Qiu, and the other is Wang Jue of the Wang family, and the other one, I heard that it is the daughter of a wealthy businessman, but I don't know the specifics. “
"I guess there's a good show to watch later. “
"yes, eh, the chariot is coming, let's stop talking. “
Everywhere the chariot went, it was quiet.
The whole venue is divided into two layers, behind is the stump of the hunt, in front of the soldiers standing guard, and then in front is the slave and the groom, in the front, is the stand, the stand is also divided into two layers, the back is the place where the ladies rest, in front is the open tent, in which the seats are arranged around the semicircle, and each courtier is seated according to the official rank.
In front of them are horses and hunting tools.
The two chariots stopped in front of the tent one after the other, and a little eunuch hurriedly put up a soft stool with gold wire trim and placed it in front of the carriage.
Then there is the queen, and all eyes are curiously projected on this rumor, what the new witch envoy of Taiping, and the queen's girl, looks like.
Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Wang Jue, who was sitting in the chariot, only felt a burst of jealousy in his heart, why is he so concerned, this little girl is only eight years old, although she is beautiful, who knows if she will still be beautiful when she grows up? Besides, his own body will definitely be the best in the audience. After that time, the eyes of the audience must have fallen on me, maybe even the emperor will look at himself a few more times.
Wang Jue thinks so, it does make sense. The bright red transparent robe, clinging to the waist, full chest and erect buttocks, fiery red lips with bright eyes, fair skin. Wang Jue is indeed born beautiful, and it is a kind of bright beauty, a beauty that makes people amazing at a glance.
However, Wang Jue is also looking forward to it, these courtiers, if they see that this queen is a disabled person who can't walk, the expression on their faces must be very interesting.
Thinking of this, Wang Jue rarely had patience.
Long Xiang stepped off the chariot and waited. According to the procedure, after the emperor got off the chariot, there would be a special little eunuch to replace a silver-edged soft stool, and the palace maid beside him bowed her head, raised her hand, and stepped forward to help the queen get out of the car.
The palace maids on both sides stepped forward, and the stools were also changed, but after the curtain, there was no little hand stretched out. Everyone was waiting, but the palace maid couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, but she didn't dare to raise her head, so she could only wait quietly, waiting for a hand to stretch out and put it on her hand.
Long Xiang turned his head and looked into the curtain.
Yan Xu was wearing a robe with the same red color, but it was not a phoenix embroidered with the queen, but a blue bird and the sun and moon.
She was still sitting in the chariot, motionless, still wearing a ghost mask on her face, without any expression, just quietly staring at Long Xiang.
Just at a glance, Long Xiang's heart inexplicably knew the reason why his little queen had not come out for a long time.
Does she not want to be hugged by someone she doesn't know?
Long Xiang didn't know why she suddenly had such a thought in her heart, she didn't say, he didn't ask, but he just knew.
Long Xiang felt funny in his heart and walked back to the chariot.
Wang Xi beside him didn't say anything, but the little eunuch felt panicked, thinking that the emperor was going to get into the chariot again temporarily, and sighed in his heart why didn't he follow the procedure?
The little eunuch had no choice but to put back the soft stool he had just taken. According to the procedure, the queen is to change to a stool inlaid with silver wire, and only the emperor can use gold wire.
Long Xiang walked to the chariot, but he didn't mean to go up, but stretched out his hand.
What does this mean? Does the emperor not want to get into the chariot? Why do you stretch out your hand? Is there such a procedure? The emperor's behavior confused the little eunuch on the side.
Everyone looked at the emperor suspiciously, except for Yan Xu. With a smile in the corner of her eyes, she moved her small body and crawled to the place where Long Xiang could reach herself.
Long Xiang's hand touched Yan Xu's waist, took it hard, and in the exclamation of everyone, he picked up Yan Xu and walked towards his position.
Everyone was shocked by this move, not only the courtiers, but also their respective families, and the one who was even more surprised should be the little eunuch, because he didn't have this procedure on his back.
