Two days later, Mu Jingzhao spread the news of the summer hunt to all the courtyards of the harem.

Although this hunt gradually ran counter to his original intention, since the concubine and Jiang Ning were both present, the queen naturally had no reason not to go.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to simply hold a grand hunting party and invite everyone in the harem to participate.

However, the queen Ning Concubine is defenseless, and the concubine is really not suitable for riding and shooting, if he is the only big man to let the family lead the hunt, it is really not interesting.

After thinking about it, Mu Jingzhao reluctantly accepted Jiang Ningfeng's proposal - waiting for Lin Zheng to come back.

The number of people is still too small, and in desperation, Mu Jingzhao specially issued a holy decree to ask the young men of all families to participate together, which barely managed to produce a grand scene.

At this moment, the little eunuchs had already sent the edict prepared by Mu Jingzhao to the palaces.

Almost the front and back feet, Shangshufu and Mu Jingzhao's letters were passed into Changle Palace together.

Ling Yue ran into the main hall with two stacks of books, the door of the main hall was closed, and Shen Qingrong sat alone against the window, her eyes were blank, and there were some dried scars on her forehead.

On her right hand, layers of gauze wrapped her entire hand tightly, and only the outline of a palm could be faintly seen.

In front of her, a finely carved pillbox was wide open, revealing the brown paste it contained, which was smooth and flat, without the slightest trace of use.

With Ling Yue's action of pushing the door, the afternoon sun poured into the house with the flying dust.

Shen Qingrong subconsciously covered her eyes with her hands, frowning.

"Niangniang, the emperor's edict and the letter from the house have arrived together."

Ling Yue looked at Shen Qingrong, there was a look of worry on her face that was not concealed at all, seeing that Shen Qingrong did not react at all, Ling Yue casually put the letterhead in her hand on the table.

Her gaze slowly swept over the ointment on the table, and she sighed softly, "Niangniang, you should rub a little ointment, it is said that this ointment was obtained by Lord Shangshu specially looking for a famous doctor, and it has a miraculous effect on scars." In fact, Lord Shangshu still loves you very much. ”

Shen Qingrong's hand covering her eyes naturally drooped, and her fingertips slowly brushed the scars on her forehead and mouth.

"If my father really loved me, he wouldn't have beaten me instead of giving me medicine after the beating."

Her tone was light, and there was an indescribable tiredness in her voice.

Ling Yue was slightly stunned, "Lord Shangshu is also thinking about the lintel of the Shen family. ”

Shen Qingrong nodded, turned her head to look at Ling Yue, but her shoulders slowly hung down as if they were crushed by a heavy burden, "Yes, the lintel and glory of the Shen family are all pressed on me alone. ”

Since she was a child, her mother told her that she was born to be a queen, so she was destined not to spend her life like an ordinary woman. ”

Since Shen Qingrong can remember, dozens of grandmothers who have been invited to teach her etiquette and moral training have been replaced.

Countless mistakes, she was beaten, scolded, locked in a dark firewood room with no food, her mother could not resist her father's power, and only dared to secretly talk to her outside the door in the dead of night.

Her mother always comforted her, "Just endure a little longer, just endure a little longer, when you become a queen, you will be the mother of a country, with supreme status and glory, and no one will dare to despise you again." ”

So she waited and waited until she was hungry and her stomach was throbbing and unconscious, and when it was dark and dawn, the door of the firewood room was closed and opened.

When she finally ascended to the position of queen, she realized that she had been deceived by her mother for many years.

From beginning to end, she never took a step from that firewood room.

Her gaze slowly fell on the two letterheads on the table, and there was no trace of tiredness on her face, "Bengong is a little tired, you can help me see what is written." ”

Ling Yue opened it in response, quickly read the two letters, and then carefully put them away.

"The emperor invites you to participate in this summer hunt."

Shen Qingrong was slightly stunned for a moment, "In this palace, when will there be a summer hunt?" ”

Without waiting for Ling Yue to answer, she continued to speak to herself, "The emperor really took great pains to please that girl. What else? ”

"Lord Shangshu hopes that you can seize the opportunity of this hunt and get rid of Concubine Ning, and there is-" Ling Yue took a deep breath and spit out a few words with some difficulty, "Remember, mention the hand and foot brothers." ”

On the other side, Liu Jinfu sat in front of the hall and drank tea quietly, on the table in front of her, Mu Jingzhao's edict was unfolded and placed on the teapot in front of her, she drank a cup of tea slowly, her eyes swept the edict lightly, and her face showed a little surprise.

"Summer hunting? Hongu involvement? Also prepared a horse for Hongu? Liu Jinfu's eyelids jumped, his lips opened slightly, but what flowed out of it was a vulgar word, "It's time for the emperor to go to the imperial doctor to take a look at his body." ”

Mengyin on the side took the teapot and mixed another cup with Liu Jinfu, she looked free, as if she had long been accustomed to her master's outrageous words.

Liu Jinfu didn't drink any more tea, but still looked at the edict in front of her with a straight face, and the more she looked at it, the more she seemed to be unable to understand the words on it.

"Did the emperor say why he suddenly held a hunt?"

Mengyin's eyebrows lowered, "The slave doesn't know." ”

Liu Jinfu picked up the edict on the table, frowning, "That's probably to pass the time for Concubine Ning's girl to relieve boredom." ”

Mengyin's expression was slightly stunned, she looked at Liu Jinfu, her face showed a little confusion, but she didn't say anything to ask.

"It's just that at this time, why wait for ten days."

"According to Gonggong Li, the emperor is waiting for Commander Lin to come back."

Liu Jinfu's face showed a little stunned, she covered her lips with one hand, and then laughed sharply, "This Concubine Ning is really amazing, our emperor, this time it is really going to be planted." ”

Mengyin still stood aside with his eyes down and didn't say anything, Liu Jinfu still laughed loudly, and some abrupt laughter echoed in the quiet hall, looking a little inexplicably lonely.

The wind blew the curtains and fluttered, Liu Jinfu's laughter gradually disappeared, her eyebrows and eyes were lowered, her eyes were dyed with a faint color of loneliness, her hand that was originally covering her lips naturally drooped, and the back of her hand accidentally touched the long whip placed at her feet.

Liu Jinfu frowned slightly, she didn't speak again, but turned her head, her eyes looked at the fluttering curtains, her eyes were scattered, as if she was thinking about something.

"Pick a good horse for the palace, since the emperor is graciously invited, the palace is really gracious."

Mengyin looked at Liu Jinfu, her face showing a little stunned, "Niangniang! ”

Liu Jinfu seemed to be a little tired, she leaned back and lazily lay down on the chair, "Bring some more wine to the palace." ”

Mengyin looked at Liu Jinfu, wanting to speak and stopping, after a long time, she finally spoke, "Yes." ”
