Chapter 520: Recognize Mai'er
Two days later, Emperor Songde set off with a large group of people.
This time, they will go to the largest hunting ground near Kyoto, Hengshan, plus the journey will take about half a month.
For half a month, it was impossible for the affairs of the court to be left unmanaged, so Emperor Songde handed over the matter to Ji Zhongli and another important minister, and the four first-class ministers only brought Shen Qingyan with him.
Of course, all this was Jiang An'an's idea, she asked Concubine Hua Guifei to pry Emperor Songde, and deliberately left Ji Zhongli behind, but Emperor Songde actually had this intention.
Before leaving, he had seen Shen Qingyan in private, and over the years, Shen Qingyan had never been married, apparently because of Jiang Yingning.
Emperor Song De reminded Shen Qingyan, "This hunting may be your last chance, whether you can get Jiang Yingning or not depends on yourself." ”
"Qingyan understands, thank you to the emperor for your success." Shen Qingyan was very grateful, and secretly made up his mind that this time, he must take down Jiang Yingning.
On the way out, the carriage of Emperor Songde and Concubine Hua was in the front, followed by the carriage of the crown prince, the second prince, and the seventh prince, and then the carriage of some ministers' children.
Jiang Yingning and Princess Jingxin rode in the same carriage, and Ban Yinrong and Pan Qiaoxi also came together because of their hobby of riding horses.
The four of them were in the carriage, Jiang Yingning and Pan Qiaoxi sat together, and Ban Yinrong sat with Princess Jingxin.
"I didn't expect the princess to ride a horse too." Jiang Yingning took the initiative to say.
In the past four years, Princess Jingxin's sense of existence has become stronger and stronger, and she has become the existence that replaces Yan Jingrou.
Yan Jingrou married far away, and Emperor Songde was also very happy to have Jingxin to accompany Jiang An'an, and Jingxin also married Shangguan Fu with the help of Jiang An'an, which can be regarded as a good belonging.
In fact, there are very few parts of Jiang Yingning's memory about Princess Jingxin in her previous life, she has only seen this unfavored princess a few times, and the other party is cowering, obviously not the person Jiang Yingning in her previous life wants to see more.
And now Princess Jingxin has obviously taken on a new look, although her appearance is still very ordinary, but her demeanor is calm and generous, and she is worthy of the identity of a princess.
"I guess I'm going to make a few sisters laugh." Princess Jingxin smiled lightly, "I actually just learned a little, but I haven't ridden it for a long time, and I guess I can't ride it well." ”
"It's okay, I haven't ridden in a while." Ban Yinrong smiled.
After giving birth to a child, she has less and less time for herself, and this time Jiang Ruiyu has to pull her out, and she is always worried that the child will not have a good time at home.
"Then it's up to Sister Ying Ning and Sister Qiaoxi." Princess Jingxin said and looked at Jiang Yingning, "I heard that Sister Yingning also brought a horse by herself, and she is a horse king." ”
"You said the third master?" Jiang Yingning smiled a little proudly, but when she saw Princess Jingxin stunned for a moment, she immediately explained, "Third Master, it's my horse." ”
Princess Jingxin pulled the corners of her mouth with some uncontrollable emotion, and her expression was obviously a little strange, "It's really the first time I've seen a horse called this name, so I must take a good look at it when the time comes." ”
"Let me tell you, the third master is also one of the witnesses of Sister Ying Ning and Mrs. Ji." Pan Qiaoxi participated in that horse racing banquet and has always remembered the events at that time.
"Oh?" Princess Jingxin suddenly became curious, "It seems that I missed a wonderful story, Sister Yingning, come and hear it." ”
"Oh, Sister Qiaoxi, don't talk nonsense." Jiang Yingning couldn't help blushing and heartbeat when she thought of the scene at that time, and asked her to say it again, but she couldn't say it.
She hurriedly exchanged glances with Pan Qiaoxi, and the two changed the topic together.
"Okay, okay, Sister Ying Ning is shy, don't say it, don't say it, let's talk about something else." Even if Pan Qiaoxi became a mother, she has always loved Jiang Yingning.
She took the initiative to say, "This time I came out to hunt, and several princes who the emperor fancied came, so I must try it." ”
"What are you trying?" Princess Jingxin smiled and shook her head, "The seventh brother is still a child, if he competes, wouldn't he be bullying him?" As for the second brother, he is really not the prince's opponent. ”
Princess Jingxin, as the queen's party, made no secret of the prince's affection.
The others smiled and didn't argue with her.
At noon, the team rested in a town, Jiang Ruiqing and Jiang Ruiyu led the troops to surround the best inn in the town, and Emperor Songde took the emperor's relatives into the inn to rest and have lunch.
On this trip, Gonggong Cheng had already greeted the officials along the way, and they would arrange everything, but Emperor Songde would not let any of them meet him.
"This inn is quiet." As soon as Concubine Hua entered, she said with a smile, obviously quite satisfied with this place.
"Well, it's just a little broken, and the concubine is a little wronged." Emperor Songde took Concubine Hua's hand and sat down.
Soon, the shopkeeper appeared with his daughter-in-law, knelt down tremblingly, "See...... I've seen the emperor, I've seen ......"
The shopkeeper secretly glanced at Hua Guifei, and shouted with some uncertainty, "I've seen the queen." ”
"Don't dare to talk nonsense." Hua Guifei immediately corrected in a deep voice, "I am a concubine, Niangniang is busy with affairs, and she did not follow the emperor this time." ”
"Right...... I'm sorry, damn the grass people, damn the grass people. The shopkeeper was sweating profusely when he boarded.
"Alright, how's lunch going?" Emperor Songde's body has always been a little weak, and although he has no appetite at this time, he feels that he has no strength.
"If you go back to the emperor, you're almost ready." The shopkeeper said hurriedly, obviously eager to hide back in the kitchen.
Emperor Songde didn't bother to embarrass him, and immediately waved his hand and let the couple leave.
No one noticed that when the wife of the shopkeeper left, she boldly glanced at Hua Guifei.
"They ordinary people have never had the opportunity to meet the people in the palace in their lives, so it's good that they haven't fainted." Hua Guifei said with a smile.
Emperor Song De gently rubbed Concubine Hua's hand, "My concubine is really kind, this is speaking for the shopkeeper." ”
"No, I'm just telling the truth." Hua Guifei smiled lightly, "Actually, if I hadn't entered the palace four years ago, maybe I wouldn't have let them now." ”
"If you don't enter the palace, I will go out of the palace to find you." Emperor Songde put Concubine Hua's hand in his heart, "In this life, you are destined to be the meat of my heart." ”
At the same time, in the back kitchen of the inn, the daughter-in-law of the shopkeeper wondered, "I won't admit my mistake, it's definitely Mai'er, how did she become a concubine?" ”
"What wheat is not wheat?" The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his head, "You must have read it wrong, that's a concubine, how can it be from your village?" ”
Seeing that his wife was still not giving up, he added, "Besides, didn't all the people in your village die from the previous plague?" ”
