As Bao Qing expected, Zhan Xuan was also in the convoy.

Sick is sick, hypocrisy is hypocrisy, Dongchu is still martial, Zhan Xuan likes to be in the limelight, and he will definitely not be willing to stay in the palace.

However, this time she was indeed very sick, even if the rouge on her face was heavily coated, it could not hide her pale and haggard sick color.

When Meng Changqing came to diagnose Baoqing's pulse, he mentioned it, saying that Zhan Xuan was just stagnation of liver qi and stagnation in the five internal areas, and to put it bluntly, he was angry with Baoqing. The Queen Mother personally sent Imperial Physician Zhang to treat Zhan Xuan, but somehow, there has been no improvement for half a month.

From afar, Bao Qing nodded at her, and to Bao Qing's surprise, Zhan Xuan actually smiled and responded to her.

It seems that after suffering several times, she also knows to restrain her edge. ”

A soft voice sounded behind him, and Bao Qing turned around and saw that Wang Guiren had been standing there for some time. Seeing that Baoqing noticed him, Wang Guiren hurriedly stepped forward.

"The concubine asked the lady to say goodbye. ”

Bao Qing looked up and down, and only felt that Wang Guiren was dressed very elegantly today.

"Wang Guiren, you are ......"

"If the concubine doesn't dislike it, can the concubine have the honor to share it with the lady?"

Wang Guiren lowered his head and explained weakly: "Actually, it is the concubine herself who is useless, because her status has not been high since she entered the palace, so she has never been out of the palace, nor has she accompanied her to the hunting ground, I am afraid that the etiquette will be wrong, and then the queen mother and the emperor will be unhappy." Knowing that it was the lady concubine who was in charge of the ladies in the palace, the concubine was relieved, so she gave up her face to ask the lady for advice. ”

Bao Qing was a hundred unhappy in his heart, the carriage was so big in total, and there were Su Wen and Zhu Er in it, plus a royal nobleman, it was really a little crowded. And Baoqing didn't like Wang Guiren in the first place, and he had to stare at her all day, and it would be painful to think about it.

But Wang Guiren's words were considerate and aggrieved, since Baoqing was in charge of the affairs of the Six Palaces, of course Wang Guiren was among them. Now that Wang Guiren needs help, she can only shirk her responsibility.

Baoqing got into the carriage and sat down, and Wang Guiren was also supported by the palace maid and walked up to the footstool.

After the rain, it was muddy, and the carriage came from the palace, and it was inevitably stained with mud along the way. When she got into the car, Wang Guiren's plain skirt dragged by, and she accidentally rubbed on the mud stains, which were yellow and black and wet, and she was suddenly extremely embarrassed, stepping on the carriage with one foot, neither up nor down.

Bao Qing felt that Wang Guiren was really not suitable for plain dress, and couldn't help but think of Lan Xin's joke before, saying that Wang Guiren's boudoir name Wang Ling, I don't know which fortune teller he offended, and it was really unlucky to take such a dead name. It's so bad that she doesn't wear it for the holidays, she looks plain and elegant every day, but it's not bad luck when she goes out.

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, with the loud shouts of the small branches and the neat and powerful snare drums of the honor guard, the honor guard marched out of the imperial city. Out of the palace gate, the officials and ladies waiting outside the palace also joined the team.

The people watched on both sides of the official road early in the morning, and when they saw the honor guard of the holy driver, they all knelt on the ground and shouted long live. I wanted to see the scenery of Kyoto, but all I saw were black heads stuck to the ground, and Bao Qing felt very bored. She lowered the curtain and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xiao Yat not far away.

Xiao Yat did not rank among the princes, but followed in the ranks of the courtiers. He bears the name of the prince, but in fact he does not have any real power in the government, and it is really difficult for him to be in such an improper position.

Xiao Yat also saw her. He rode his horse and slowly followed.

"You did. ”

"How did the prince walk behind, you are good at riding, practice archery for a while, and the emperor will definitely invite the prince to enter the hunting ground first. ”

"Don't worry, I will appear in front of the emperor at that time, and he will not be difficult to find. Xiao Yat looked leisurely, full of care.

is as arrogant as him, and it must have taken a lot of determination and courage to hide this discomfort deep in his heart.

Xiao Yat has indeed matured a lot.

Hearing Xiao Yi's voice, Zhu Er also poked her head out. Xiao Yi took the hilt of the sword and pointed at her: "Tomorrow, Miss Zhu'er can't escape, this is the only chance for you to compete with this prince." ”

Zhu Er was originally apologetic because of what happened before, and when she heard him say this, she immediately raised her eyebrows to show her disdain.

Seeing that Baoqing and the third prince had such a good relationship, Wang Guiren couldn't help but be curious.

You must know that the third prince is the former prince, the one who competed with the emperor for the throne back then, and everyone in the harem of the former dynasty avoided him, why was Concubine Shu so enthusiastic with him.

She suddenly remembered the rumor that had been circulating for a long time, could it really be as the rumors said, the matter of Concubine Shu back then was related to the three princes......

There were many people in the team, Xiao Yi said 'farewell' to Baoqing, turned the horse's head, and returned to the original place.

Baoqing lowered the curtain and found that Zhu Er's innocent face, in addition to the usual indifference, seemed to have some invisible changes.

"It's more than that, but you can't make a mistake with the rules. ”

If Zhu Er injured Xiao Yat by mistake, it would be difficult to end.

When Zhu Er heard this, a layer of blush appeared on her face, and she nodded heavily.

Before dusk, the guard of honor arrived at the hunting ground. The vast expanse of mountains stretches the necklace, and rows and rows of tents are neatly arranged at the foot of the mountain. According to the rules, tomorrow will be auspicious, Xiao Cheng will personally take the imperial ministers to sacrifice, and then start hunting. Tonight, the ladies burn incense and set off lamps to pray for their husbands or fathers and brothers, hoping that they will get good fortunes.

After eating and drinking, Xiao Cheng organized an arrow competition, and the ministers of the prince came forward one after another.

Xiao Cheng was not in a hurry to participate, but let all the princes start first, and sat in the stands to watch. Dongchu has always been proud of riding and archery to win the first place, all the princes are powerful, it is inevitable to have a competition, and they have been hunting in the hunting ground every year, and their skills are very skilled, even if there are no arrows and arrows hit the bull's-eye, the results are also commendable.

When it was Xiao Yat's turn, he behaved poorly. The first few arrows reached the outside of the fifth ring, and the last archer was still unstable and shot out of the target.

There was a sigh in the field.

Xiao Cheng slowly walked down the stands, Xiao Yi hurriedly retreated to the side and leaned over.

"The third brother's riding and shooting were all taught by his father himself, how could there be such a mistake. Xiao Cheng shook his head, expressing deep regret.

The emperor laughed, but his father just couldn't see it and taught a few words, and after not practicing for many years, he became unfamiliar. ”

Xiao Yat's words seem humble, but they are actually a reminder. For five years, he lived as a criminal minister. If it weren't for Zhan Luan's affair and the Queen Mother's insistence, he would probably have faded out of people's sight, and he might not have the opportunity to participate in the spring hunt this year.

"Isn't this a good opportunity, the third brother has to pick up the archery skills, and I can't forget it, I'm still waiting to compete with the third brother in the hunting ground." ”

After speaking, Xiao Cheng picked up the bow and arrow in Xiao Yi's hand, his posture was standard, his shot was bold, and the arrow hit the bull's-eye, causing the ministers to applaud for a while.

Xiao Yi looked at the ten arrows nailed to the bull's-eye in the distance, and bowed his head again: "Yes, the minister obeys the order." ”

Bao Qing looked from afar, although he couldn't hear what they were talking about, he also knew that Xiao Yi's move was deliberate.
