The weather on the second day of the first month of June, the sky is beautiful, it was clear that it was raining again yesterday, and the sun was shining on the second day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt's muddy in the mountains, but the weather has been like this lately.

Luo Tan stretched, and there were enough ice cubes in the house, so although the summer days in Longye were long and hot, the house was still very dry.

The maid in the house smiled and asked her, "Where else do you want to go today?"

Luo Tan looked at the small knick-knacks piled up like a hill in the house, and said, "I don't know, I'll go back and ask Dr. Gao." ”

"Mr. Gao went out today, and he won't be back until tomorrow night. The maid said: "Let the slave and the maid inform the young lady, if the young lady wants to go out, call a few guards in the upper house, and the slave and maid will follow to go shopping, see something, and buy it back." ”

"Is there something?" Luo Tan said, "Is there a patient who wants to go to the doctor?"

The maid smiled but did not answer.

Luo Tan waved his hand: "Since that's the case, then I'll walk around at will." ”

She has been in Longye for almost a month, and these days, she has been with Gao Yang. Gao Yang himself said that practitioners of medicine have no borders, he traveled abroad when he was a teenager, and also settled in Longye for a while. This mansion in Longye is his, although Luo Tan felt that this statement was a little strange, but when he saw that the whole mansion was also saying the same, he was no longer suspicious.

The person who sent the letter to Shen Miao had already been sent back by Gao Yang, saying that Shen Miao had promised to bring Luo Tan with him, and he would take care of Luo Tan. I don't know how Gao Yang lied, but in the subsequent journey, the people of the Shen family really didn't come over again.

The Shen family has been exposed, and Luo Tan has a calculation in his heart. After a few days, she will play with Long Ye all over, and then go to Shen Miao to tell her all about it. If she said it now, she was afraid that Shen Miao and King Rui would send someone to send her back again, and she didn't have enough food to play, so how could she go back now.

Luo Tan walked out of the door, walked into the courtyard, and heard some noisy voices from a distance on the street across the courtyard wall, so he asked the maid beside him, "What are you doing so lively outside?" ”

The maid smiled and said: "Today is the royal hunt, it coincides with the 60th anniversary festival, and Your Majesty will also go to the hunting ground to hunt in person, and the Praetorian Guards will follow at this time, and the people on the street are cheering." ”

Luo Tan liked to join in the fun, so he said: "Then let's go and have a look, can we see Your Majesty's heavenly face?"

The maid's face changed slightly, and she shook her head and said, "The streets are crowded, and besides, Your Majesty is in the canopy, so you can't see it." ”

Luo Tan was a little lacking in interest, and the maid smiled: "The slave maid will first prepare some snacks to be eaten on the way to the meeting, and after this moment, where the young lady wants to go, the slave and maid will accompany you." ”

"There you go. Luo Tan said. After the maid left, Luo Tan secretly slipped towards the door of the backyard, and whispered: "If you don't go out, it's not too much to take a look from afar." ”

Her figure quickly disappeared from the courtyard.

......

After Shen Miao freshened up, she saw Xie Jingxing change his clothes and come out.

Because he was going to hunt today, he also wore riding clothes that were convenient for hunting. Narrow sleeves and high neck, waist belt, green boots embroidered with dark patterns, extremely neat and refreshing appearance, but because of the riding costume made very fit, like a reserved and elegant nobleman.

Seeing Shen Miao, Xie Jingxing frowned, and said, "This dress ......"

After all, it was a hunting ground, and it was a hot summer, so she was afraid that Shen Miao would faint from the heat, so she specially found refreshing clothes for her. Under the skirt were silk trousers, the cuffs were wide and breathable, but the clothes on the top were a thin layer of veil, only the chest was a solid bandeau. The lilac ones are like a layer of mist. Shen Miao originally looked dignified on weekdays, but when she was dressed like this, she was a little charming and faint, and she was full of indescribable charm.

Shen Miao glanced down at herself and said, "It's not good-looking." ”

Xie Jingxing said: "It's cool in the mountains, so I'm still wearing a coat." ”

Shen Miao: "...... "Where does the cool breeze come from in June? Besides, Longye has always been warm.

Xie Jingxing added: "Your body, hair and skin are now owned by the Xie family, and you can't get sunburned at will." ”

Shen Miao: "Got it, stunned, go get a coat over." ”

Xie Jingxing gave up.

When they got outside, Mo Qing and some of the guards of Prince Rui's Mansion were ready, and they were also there. Stunned and Gu Yu didn't have to follow today, Xie Jingxing transferred a female guard fennel from the Mo Yu Army, and pretended to be Shen Miao's personal maid with Anise to protect her safety.

The more thoughtful Xie Jingxing's arrangement, the more uneasy Shen Miao's heart became. Today's royal hunt is due to the sixty-year festival, she has to come if she doesn't come, but even if there is no this time, Shen Miao will not stay in Prince Rui's mansion by herself, not for anything else, because her right eyelid keeps jumping, as if it is a sign that something is about to happen.

Her preoccupied appearance fell into Xie Jingxing's eyes, Xie Jingxing was thoughtful, and said while walking out of the door with Shen Miao: "How are you depressed." ”

Shen Miao said: "I always feel uneasy in my heart. ”

"You're a big deal. The corners of his lips twitched: "Madame, don't worry. ”

Shen Miaobai glanced at him, but saw that there was no carriage at the door, so he asked, "Hasn't the carriage been brought yet?"

Xie Jingxing smiled, pulled Shen Miao to the door, Mo Qing led a horse forward, Xie Jingxing turned over on the horse, and suddenly pulled Shen Miao's hand and pulled her, Shen Miao was caught off guard by him and was caught in his arms.

"The carriage is too slow. He looked down at Shen Miao and said unhurriedly: "You can shoot on foot, but you can ride a horse?"

Shen Miao was about to speak, but Xie Jingxing interrupted her again: "No, it's okay, husband will teach you." With that, he raised his whip, and the horse neighed and galloped away.

Behind him, Xie Jingxing's guards seemed to follow, Shen Miao leaned against Xie Jingxing, and was surrounded by him, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. The horse is also a good BMW horse, running fast, Xie Jingxing's equestrian skills are excellent, he picks some tortuous roads, and the crowd in the market is full of exclamations, and he laughs loudly, but it is extremely arrogant.

Shen Miao remembered the first time she saw Xie Jingxing in this life, in front of Guangwentang, the handsome young man in purple was sitting on a high horse, lazily and presumptuously looking at everyone.

His breath was coming from her ears, almost touching her cheek. His low and happy laughter came from above his head, and Shen Miao's heart was suddenly infected.

She actually likes to yearn for such freedom, and she has also stood on the palace wall of the Nine-Fold Palace, looking at the high-flying eagles in the distance and the horses under her feet, yearning for such a free and easy life. But her life can only be confined in the deep palace, guarding the man she doesn't love, and living intrigues for her children.

She seems to have not been so wanton in a long time.

Shen Miao laughed: "Are you as rude in Longye as you are in Dingjing?"

"It's more than that!" Xie Jingxing replied. He glanced down at her again, rested his chin on the top of her head, and laughed in a low voice: "You didn't have a good time in Longye in Dingjing. ”

Shen Miao was stunned for a moment, and Xie Jingxing continued to smile: "I like this kind of Shen Jiaojiao more." ”

"Me too. Shen Miao smiled.

Xie Jingxing's movements squatted, and even the horses' movements slowed down, and he said, "Do you like me like this too?"

"No, it's not. Shen Miao smiled: "I also like myself like this." ”

Xie Jingxing grinded his teeth: "Shen Jiaojiao, in Longye, those who dared to trick me died in the end." ”

The laughter of the two drifted far away along the summer breeze of Longye, and among the guards behind them, fennel and star anise bit their ears and said: "Isn't it that the lady has a cold temperament, it's all wishful thinking on the part of our master, and the relationship is not bad." ”

"Madame is not cold," Octagonal said with a smile, "Madame is a good person." ”

......

By the time the rising sun had sprinkled the golden sun all over the earth, Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing finally came to the hunting ground.

The outer field of the hunting ground is a flat forest, but the inner field has to go inside, towards Hualuan Peak. Hualuan Peak is a strange peak of Longye, the mountain is densely covered with jungles, the majestic and precipitous, there are many rare beautiful scenery, there are also many rare birds and beasts, naturally, the road is also very difficult, but also because there are wild beasts infested and there is danger.

The royal hunting ground used this place as a hunting ground, which was a rule that existed before the emperor. When the emperor was alive, according to the rules handed down by the founding emperor, the sixty-year festival, when the emperor mainly went into the infield to hunt in person, hunted the lion to rest. Male lions as sacrifices.

When the emperors of the past dynasties hunted in Hualuan Peak, they would also encounter danger because of this, but because the jungle was followed by the Praetorian Guards, it was not a big problem. It's just that now it's not what it used to be, and with the Praetorian Guard, it's more dangerous than without the Praetorian Guard.

Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing's appearance was undoubtedly eye-catching, and everyone was stunned when they saw that they were not riding in a carriage, but riding together. Emperor Yongle and Concubine Jing had already arrived first, Concubine Jing covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, and then said, "As a royal clanwife, how can you ...... It's really rude. ”

Emperor Yongle frowned and looked at Xie Jingxing, as if he was also very unhappy with his approach. Xie Jingxing helped Shen Miao dismount and walked towards Emperor Yongle in front of a group of people.

Emperor Yongle is also wearing a bright yellow riding uniform today, Emperor Yongle is not very old, he is handsome, but his temperament is colder, when he wears riding clothes, the two brothers have robbed all the male dependents of the limelight.

Xie Jingxing and Shen Miao saluted with Emperor Yongle, but no one paid attention to Concubine Jing. Seeing this, Concubine Jing bit her lip, but suddenly looked at Shen Miao and smiled: "Princess Rui followed the prince to the hunting ground today, and the husband and wife are deeply affectionate, and their feelings are so deep that they ride together, which is really enviable." After that, he changed his words again: "In this way, when Prince Rui enters the infield, the princess will also follow." ”

Before Shen Miao could reply, Emperor Yongle frowned and said coldly: "She doesn't have to enter!"

Concubine Jing was stunned, as if she didn't expect Emperor Yongle to suddenly speak. She also thought that Shen Miao would be good if she followed King Rui into the infield. There are many fierce beasts in the infield, and there is King Rui to protect him, even if Shen Miao is not injured, he is happy to be embarrassed because he is frightened. At the Caixia banquet that day, Shen Miao's unceremonious oath to the Lu family had reached Concubine Jing's ears, and Concubine Jing was determined to give Shen Miao some hardship, but she didn't expect Emperor Yongle to help Shen Miao.

Although Concubine Jing was arrogant, she didn't dare to do it with Emperor Yongle.

Shen Miao knew in her heart that Emperor Yongle was not coming out for himself. It's just because the two of them went to the infield today, which is already very dangerous, maybe Emperor Yongle and Xie Jingxing have already arranged everything, and one more person going in will be a little more variable. Emperor Yongle was afraid that going in would affect their plans.

Xie Jingxing glanced at Concubine Jing with a smile, although she didn't say anything, Concubine Jing sensed a warning from that gaze. For some reason, apart from Emperor Yongle, she was most afraid of this young prince, and even more afraid of Prince Rui than her father.

Seeing that Concubine Jing was no longer talking, Xie Jingxing put his arm around Shen Miao's shoulders and said, "Brother Huang is fine, I'll take Jiaojiao around first." She just came to Longye, and she is not very familiar with people. Anyway, he didn't care what Emperor Yongle's face was, so he took Shen Miao and left.

After only walking a few steps, he saw Ji Yushu running excitedly in the distance, ran to them and stood still in front of them, and said, "Third brother, sister-in-law!"

Shen Miao looked at Ji Yushu's bright smiling face, and really couldn't connect the shopkeeper in front of him, who had been a pawnshop in Mingqi for many years, with the young master of Da Liangzuo's apprentice family. She asked the question she had always wanted to ask: "Why do you keep calling him Third Brother?"

"Hey?" Ji Yushu was stunned and looked at Xie Jingxing: "Didn't you tell your sister-in-law?"

Seeing that Xie Jingxing was noncommittal, Ji Yushu scratched his head and smiled at Shen Miao: "Actually, it should be called the third cousin." My third cousin and I are cousins, and the brothers in the clan are lined up, and he is only the third. The third brother's mother is my aunt. We are cousins. ”

Shen Miao heard Ji Yushu talk about the reason again, and then she understood that Ji Yushu's mother and Xie Jingxing's mother were sisters of the same mother. Ji Yushu is also a relative of the emperor, and he is a cousin with Xie Jingxing. No wonder Xie Jingxing always says that Ji Yu's book is not good, but he has to take care of him everywhere.

Ji Yushu laughed twice and rubbed his hands: "I heard that my mother has also seen my sister-in-law, and my mother also said that my sister-in-law is very good, dignified and virtuous, and she is a beautiful lady, if it weren't for the third brother's early, cough cough, and complain that I didn't marry a beauty like my sister-in-law in Mingqi?"

Xie Jingxing said calmly: "Ji Yushu, do you want to go to the tower prison?"

"I'm just kidding!" Ji Yushu jumped up, and ran away as if he was burning his buttocks: "I heard that Gao Yang is also here today, I'll go see him...... Sister-in-law, you play slowly!"

Far gone.

Shen Miao couldn't laugh or cry, and asked Xie Jingxing instead: "Gao Yang is also here, why didn't you see him?"

"He's a courtier, and he's about late. He added: "Gao Yang is the Minister of Health. ”

Shen Miao smiled: "I know." ”

"You have the ability, you can inquire about Gao Yang's identity. Xie Jingxing said with a smile.

Shen Miao's heart moved, and she had nothing to say for a while. She knew Gao Yang's identity because of the tribute of Ming Qi in her previous life, and it was not Xie Jingxing who came, but Gao Yang, and at that time, as Princess Ding, she had also seen Gao Yang. In this life, Xie Jingxing never told her about Gao Yang's specific identity. It seems that from the very beginning, Shen Miao's attitude also acquiesced to the statement that Gao Yang had long known that Gao Yang was Xie Jingxing.

Fortunately, Xie Jingxing didn't continue to dwell on this issue, but said: "When the hunt begins, you can follow me to the outfield and hunt some rabbits and wild storks." When the time comes, I will follow the royal brother to the infield, leave the guards for you, and you can wander around the infield at will, just outside. After a pause, he said: "My aunt is also here today, I asked Ji Yushu to mention to her, if I don't come back later, you can go back to the city with your aunt, and she will send you to the prince's mansion." ”

"You didn't come back later?" Shen Miao looked at him suspiciously. In fact, Xie Jingxing is very sure of doing things, in Mingqi, as the prince of the Marquis of Lin'an, under the watchful eye of the Fu family, he can easily complete his plan, which is enough to see that he is not a person who will act in a hurry. However, Shen Miao's feeling this time was so bad that she followed Xie Jingxing today, and her tone was full of suspicion.

"Don't worry, my brother and I have already made preparations. He smiled ambiguously: "It's not been two months yet, how can I be willing to die.... ”

Shen Miao pushed him, she didn't want to accompany Xie Jingxing in public, and when she turned around, she felt that something was on her, and she looked at it, but she saw that Mrs. Ye was looking at her at the Caixia banquet that day.

Mrs. Ye was wearing light clothes that were easy to walk, standing far away, meeting her gaze, not dodging, and smiling. It's just that that gaze makes Shen Miao instinctively a little uncomfortable. She asked, "Is the Ye family going hunting today?"

"Ye Mao is the prime minister, so naturally he will follow. However, the courtiers will only be in the outfield, not in the infield. Xie Jingxing followed Shen Miao's gaze and found that she was staring at Mrs. Ye, and said strangely: "You seem to be very concerned about Mrs. Ye, what's wrong?"

"I don't know why......" Shen Miao frowned: "I always feel that the Ye family doesn't feel very good for me." You'd better be careful. ”

"The imperial brother is now interested in wooing the Ye family, and the Ye family pays attention to every move, and he doesn't find anything wrong. Xie Jingxing thought about it, saw Shen Miao's cautious expression, and comforted her: "They are in the field, they can't affect the situation, don't worry." ”

When Shen Miao looked at Mrs. Ye again, Mrs. Ye had already turned around to talk to other ladies. She let go of the uneasiness in her heart and had no choice but to give up.

When the time is right, the hunt will begin. Today's officials are all officials with a high status in Longye, the officials accompany the hunt, and the female dependents just follow to watch the excitement. The more daring, the more playful followed to the outfield, and the quieter waited outside the paddock.

Coincidentally, Lu Wan'er also came today.

Lu Wan'er is also dressed up carefully, even the riding clothes are also very exquisite, and she is extremely beautiful. If there is no Shen Miao, she is probably the most eye-catching person on this occasion, Concubine Jing and Lu Wan'er are sisters after all, and they were pampered and raised by the Lu family, and Miss Qianjin's temperament is not false.

It's just that Shen Miao is also here, so she is dressed in a bright pink riding outfit and is a little frivolous, just looking delicate, but standing with King Rui, there is a sense of nondescriptry.

It's no wonder that there is a strange sense of harmony between Xie Jingxing and Shen Miao. King Rui forget it, after all, he is the younger brother of Emperor Yongle, a real nobleman, and an elegant celestial achievement. But Shen Miao is a girl from an ordinary official family in Mingqi, and she is also a military general, but she also has a sense of nobility, dignity and stability. The atmosphere between the two is seamless, not to mention a person like Lu Wan'er, even if she is a different immortal, it doesn't look like that.

Lu Wan'er didn't realize it, and walked in front of Shen Miao with some strange eyes from everyone, although she was talking to Shen Miao, her eyes were about to stick to Xie Jingxing. Her voice is delicate and sweet, and when she speaks in her throat, she is almost like honey.

"Princess, I didn't expect to meet you here today. On the day of the Caixia banquet, I hit it off with the princess at first sight, thinking that I must meet you again when I have time, but I didn't expect to see you now, it's really fate. Lu Wan'er was polite to Shen Miao's words at this time, where was the shadow of the flying and domineering at the Caixia banquet that day?

Shen Miao smiled in her heart, what was Lu Wan'er thinking in her head. Could it be that she thought that she would believe anything Xie Jingxing said, not to mention that there were other ladies in the Lu Mansion that day, even Shen Miao herself would never hide anything and tell Xie Jingxing the truth. What Lu Wan'er showed was not "at first sight", but "hatred to the bone".

Lu Wan'er said this, without waiting for Shen Miao to answer, and looked at Xie Jingxing again, her beautiful eyes were full of undisguised affection, and she said in a loud voice: "Prince Rui also looks very majestic today, I met in my sister's bedroom earlier, at that time, Prince Rui also praised Wan'er's outstanding piano skills, and now Wan'er has practiced hard and has grown a lot better than before, I don't know when His Royal Highness the Prince will be free, can you still give Wan'er a little advice?"

Shen Miao was stunned and couldn't help but look at Xie Jingxing. In front of Xie Jingxing, Lu Wan'er won't lie, Xie Jingxing has really heard Lu Wan'er play the piano?

Seeing Shen Miao's suspicious gaze, Xie Jingxing pursed his lips slightly, and said with a wicked smile: "Oh, unhappy?"

Shen Miao don't overdo it.

Xie Jingxing shrugged his shoulders, and when he looked at Lu Wan'er again, he had already changed his expression. He was handsome and his eyes were trimmed, but he still spoke lazily, but his smile was gone.

"When I was talking to the imperial brother, I met Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing said that Miss Lu Si was playing the piano in Jinghua Palace, and asked the imperial brother to listen to it too. When the king heard this, he said that it was comparable to that of a crow. Miss Lu Si, you can't even tell the difference between sarcasm and compliment? ”

Shen Miao almost couldn't hold back her laughter, but she didn't realize that Lu Wan'er was so stupid. Xie Jingxing never shows mercy when he speaks, where can he care about whether there are people around?

Lu Wan'er's face turned red immediately.

In fact, when she was in Jinghua Palace, she finished stroking the piano and looked at King Rui with all her heart, her heart was fluttering and jumping, indulging in Prince Rui's handsome skin, where could she still listen to what King Rui said. She couldn't hear it very clearly, thinking that King Rui was praising her, but at this time, Prince Rui made it clear that she seemed to be like a joke, and Lu Wan'er was stupid.

Xie Jingxing glanced at her slowly, and said: "Also, this king is the emperor's brother, if you go to the concubine's dormitory or something, Miss Lu Si won't mention it in the future, I don't know, I think Miss Lu Si deliberately provoked, and this king can't afford such a crime." With that, he pulled Shen Miaojing and left, leaving Lu Wan'er alone.

Shen Miao felt that Lu Wan'er was a little stupid, so she asked Xie Jingxing: "The Lu family is so powerful, how can the young lady raised look like this?" Whether it is Concubine Jing or Lu Wan'er, it is simply a fight with the former Shen Miao, but Shen Miao was deliberately cultivated by the Shen family's second and third rooms to have such a temperament, and this Lu Wan'er and Concubine Jing are Mrs. Lu's biological daughters.

Xie Jingxing said: "The whole mind is on the court dispute, and the children are naturally negligent in discipline. Besides, the Lu family has always been tolerant of their daughter, but they try their best to cultivate men. ”

Shen Miao realized this, with the Lu family's family business, the young lady in the family is casually matched, and she will not worry about food and clothing in this life, so it doesn't matter if she is arrogant and willful, anyway, she has her mother's family behind her.

As he spoke, Xie Jingxing had already pulled Shen Miao to the edge of the hunting ground. The courtiers and some of the ladies who wanted to cheer up had already picked up their horses. Xie Jing walked closer, and Tie Yi led two horses over. A tall black steed, a slightly dwarfed maroon pony. Xie Jingxing helped Shen Miao get on the red horse, and he got on the black horse again.

Emperor Yongle also began to move, and the Praetorian Guards were also ready, and they were going to follow Emperor Yongle inside.

The drummer began to beat the drum rhythmically, as if playing some old music. The beat of the drums became more and more rapid, and at last an archer standing on a high platform shot an arrow, and the bow flew straight away, hitting a golden fruit hanging in the distance, and the drummer slammed the drum.

The hunt is on!

Xie Jingxing took Shen Miao to play in the outfield, and Mo Qing and a few of them also followed him, and when they entered the hunting ground, they could take a few guards with them. However, there was no danger in the outfield, and it was in broad daylight, so nothing would happen, just in case.

"When are you going to enter the infield?" Shen Miao asked Xie Jingxing while riding a horse. She hadn't ridden a horse in a long time, but the horse under her was docile, and she was much easier to control.

"Brother Huang will give me a signal when he arrives later. I'll leave when the time comes. Xie Jingxing sat up straight: "I can still accompany you now." Do you want to fight a fox?"

Shen Miao: "Fox?"

Xie Jingxing stretched out his hand and grabbed her reins: "Follow me." ”

Xie Jingxing is a good hunter, Shen Miao has no doubt that if he is not Prince Rui of Da Liang, he is an ordinary mountain village man, and with this hunting skill, he can also make a fortune. Shen Miao always felt that it was just Shen Qiu's boasting, but today she witnessed it with her own eyes. Xie Jingxing's head is excellent, almost every shot, but in a short period of time, their horses are already full of prey, although they are all small beasts, but they are also very rare.

"What else do you want to fight?" Xie Jingxing smiled proudly: "I'll help you hunt." ”

Shen Miao was about to speak, but when he saw Congyang coming in a hurry from the other end, he breathed down and said: "Master, it's not good, the emperor has entered the infield!" ”

"Infield?" Xie Jingxing frowned: "I didn't give a signal to go to the infield by myself." His eyes flashed, and he roared violently: "Oh no!"
