Chapter 453: Out of the Palace
At the end of October and autumn, it is rare to have such a good time to be high and cool, and the day of hunting out of the palace is set on this day.
With the sound of pedestrians, chariots and horses, Rong Zhi led the civil and military ministers to send off Emperor Xuanyuan outside the palace gate.
Rong Zhi didn't go away, but he didn't rush to the paddock until everything was settled in the court.
As for the safety of this trip, there is no need for Emperor Xuanyuan to worry too much, because from here to the enclosure on the outskirts of Beijing, there are officers and soldiers stationed along the way, and it can almost be said that the defense is leaky.
Zhu Jiu and Xuanyuan Che rode the dragon chariot side by side, and after leaving the gate of the national capital, they went all the way to the outer field of the northern mountain suburbs.
In the center of the travel team was Long Yuan, Xuanyuan Che casually leaned on a corner of the compartment, and sat opposite Zhu Jiu, who was leaning on the cushion.
There is a jade chessboard in front of the two, and the black in and white out are exactly the opponents in chess, and it is difficult to solve.
Xuanyuan Che's right fingertips twisted over a sunspot in the box, and his eyes seemed to be staring at the situation on the chessboard with interest, but he was actually looking at Zhu Jiu.
"It's been a long time since I've played chess with you, Jiujiu, it seems that my chess skills are still far inferior to yours."
"Calm your mind! You're so impetuous, how can you win me."
There was a small sound of hairpins colliding in his ears, and he moved slightly between his eyebrows and looked at it carefully, and the next moment the oily sunspots clamped by his fingertips quietly landed.
Xu is because there is some stuffiness in this carriage, Zhu Jiu's face is ruddy and translucent, it is actually a good complexion that he has not had in these days, and he can't help but see Xuanyuan Che's eyes straight.
"Ninety-nine looks so good today."
Zhu Jiu gently picked up the jade beads hanging from his ears, revealing his black hair coiled into a flying cloud bun, and wearing a crimson narrow-sleeved waist-cinching riding suit.
This kind of appearance should be her original appearance, and she is also bright and beautiful at this moment, which is heartbreaking.
"This dress is very flattering to you, and you will always wear it like this in the palace in the future."
Zhu Jiu said in a sullen voice: "There are palace rules in the palace, even if I am the queen, I can't stop abiding by them. This kind of clothing is not suitable."
Xuanyuan Che's gaze always roamed around her, his eyes were scorching, and he did not hide his domineering at all, "It's just a piece of clothing, I just say okay."
His eyes were firm, his voice was low, and he added a sentence between his burning words, "If you like it, whether you are in the palace or outside the palace, you don't have to wronged yourself at any time."
Zhu Jiu half raised his eyes, which was comparable to his moon-like gaze, and he wanted to say something but endured it, and finally his gaze fell on the sunspots that were gradually surrounded by white children in the chessboard.
"Play chess, if you continue like this, you'll soon lose."
In this game of chess, although the black son is murderous, the white son is obviously better than the offense and defense.
"In that case, why bother again, I just admit defeat."
Xuanyuan Che only cared about looking at the bright and colorful beauties in front of him, and he didn't care about winning or losing in front of him.
"By the way, I almost forgot to give this thing back to you." He smiled softly, took out a tightly wrapped bag from his bosom, leaned over to Zhu Jiu, and handed it to Zhu Jiu, "If you give it to you, it's yours, what do you do if you give it back to me secretly."
"Huanshan Jue?"
"Come here, I'll tie it for you."
Zhu Jiu didn't shirk much, lowered his eyebrows and let him tie the baby around his waist.
Huanshan Jue shone brightly on her waist, and there was a hazy blood color in the brilliance, and at this moment, Zhu Jiu and Xuanyuan Che's thoughts were not on it, so no one noticed.
Xuanyuan Che's gaze all fell on Zhu Jiu, and he didn't want to move away for a moment, as if he was bewitched by an unknown mood.
Zhu Jiu was also disturbed by him, so he had to hurriedly use other reasons to divert his thoughts.
"Do you play this chess or not?"
Zhu Jiu asked, and he had already picked up the white pieces on the chessboard in his hand and put them in the chess box.
Xuanyuan Che retracted his gaze and said stupidly, "I can't win against you every time, I admit defeat."
When he said this, he didn't think about the future
It will be a prophecy for a long time.
"You haven't been to the hunt before, so if you have any prey you particularly want in the paddock this time, I'll call you to see you off."
"You don't know what I'm capable of?"
"Oh, then do you want to come with me to the tiger and leopard hunting?"
"It's not that I can't go, but I don't want to go" Zhu Jiu's eyes still fell on the chessboard, and his hand that was busy cleaning up the chess pieces swayed from side to side, "Besides, it's not like I haven't seen tigers and leopards or something, if you have the chance, let Nianqiu and them go and play."
"I'm hunting for you differently," Xuanyuan Che's eyebrows frowned slightly, and his heart casually grabbed her hand, and gently knocked off the white child she pinched at her fingertips, "Or, what else do you want?"
"Then catch a few rabbits, Nian Xia and their little ones like it."
"I think only of others, and I don't remember myself."
Xuanyuan Che smiled and quarreled with her for a few words, and with a little force, he pulled the slender fingers that had been firmly held close to his lips, completely disrupting the endgame on the chessboard.
"Look, you've messed it all up."
He almost flipped the table and looked straight at him, "It doesn't matter what he does, as long as you like it, we'll be here for a long time."
On the phoenix in the back, the eldest princess was leaning on the soft collapse and listening to Aunt Wen reading the book, which has been very lively recently, but no one knows where and where Xuanyuan came from, and the records in it should be full of strange content, some are terrifying and grotesque, sensational, and touching.
But the eldest princess was still worried about Zhu Jiu, and the pain that seemed to be close at hand but could not be seen made her old man really uncomfortable.
It's also thanks to Aunt Wen that she reads the book so eloquently, otherwise even if the content is wonderful, how can her old man sit for so long.
"I detain her every day, and I'm not afraid of locking people up."
After getting tired of listening to the book, the eldest princess began to worry about Zhu Jiu again, as long as she thought of secretly seeing her haggard and dull appearance before leaving, her heart was inexplicably heartbroken and even secretly fired.
"Don't worry, princess, Your Majesty is now dominating the queen because there is nothing to do on the road. When they arrived at the paddock, His Majesty said that there were still many things to do, so naturally he had no time to pester the queen mother. When the time comes, if you want to see the queen, you will summon the queen to see you, and if you want to see the queen for as long as you want, why do you need to worry about your majesty."
"That's what I'm saying, I'll bear with it for the time being."
Having said that, her old man still couldn't help but lift the curtain again and look straight in the direction of Long Yuan in front of her, eager to know Zhu Jiu's current situation and Xuanyuan Che's attitude towards her.
At the same time, Sun Yu'er, who was sitting in the chariot behind, also lifted the corner of the curtain and hurriedly looked at the tall dragon chariot covered by the yellow leno in front of her.
At these times on the road, Emperor Xuanyuan only sat with Empress Zhu Jiu in the dragon chariot day and night, and did not summon any palace people, including her, as if he did not take her and the accompanying Concubine Li to heart.
Sun Yuer doesn't know whether to be happy for the queen, or sad for herself and Concubine Li, maybe she is more happy.
