Chapter 299: Falling off the horse
It turned out that the dishes on the table were made by Chu Lian!
She gritted her teeth and instantly became dissatisfied with Chu Lian.
Gently patting her daughter's back, Wei Guifei asked Princess Le Yao distressedly, "Are you better?"
Princess Le Yao's little face turned pale, and she finally stopped, took the tea cup in the palace maid's hand, and took a sip of tea, which made her feel better.
"Mother, you said, my father doesn't like me anymore. ”
As soon as she breathed her breath, Princess Le Yao's eyes turned red, and her eyes blinked twice and tears fell.
There are not many princesses in Emperor Chengping's harem, and Princess Le Yao is the youngest one, she has always been the most favored in the palace before, Emperor Chengping almost never said a word to her before, and now she is suddenly angry with her, and it is because of a disgusting dish!
This makes Princess Le Yao, who has always been strong, how can she be willing!
Wei Guifei saw that the woman's eyes were aggrieved like a red rabbit, and hurriedly touched her head to comfort, "How can Yao'er think so, your father has always liked you the most, but today is just in a bad mood and implicates you." ”
Princess Le Yao snorted and buried her head in Concubine Wei's soft arms.
Wei Guifei stroked her daughter's soft hair, but her heart was still high.
It seems that she still underestimated Ye Wei's status in the heart of the saint, but she was just a money-loser who crawled out of her belly, and she was married, and the saint actually attached so much importance to it.
Although Wei Guifei felt sorry for her daughter, she couldn't stay with her daughter all the time, and there were hunting activities in the afternoon.
At that time, the saint will take the civil and military officials to hunt in the mountains and forests, and the rest of the female dependents will need her to preside.
After a while, Wei Guifei left in a hurry.
At the door of the tent, I met the county lord of Anmin.
"An Min, you accompany Le Yao well, this kid is in a bad mood today. Before leaving, Wei Guifei explained.
The county lord of Anmin hurriedly responded respectfully.
When Concubine Wei left, she really went into the tent to comfort Princess Le Yao.
Inside the tent, Princess Le Yao suddenly screamed, and then her eyes widened with unbelievable anger, "Cousin, what are you talking about!
The county lord of Anmin, who was two years older than Le Yao, had a solemn expression and nodded slightly.
"Not bad. ”
Princess Le Yao, who had been confirmed, gritted her teeth, wishing that she could kill Chu Lian at this time.
She was favored in the palace, she was used to being arrogant and domineering, and she was reprimanded by Emperor Chengping twice because of Chu Lian, plus the little hidden caution in her heart about He Changdi, until now, she really hated Chu Lian.
Fortunately, she didn't know the true relationship between Emperor Chengping and Chu Lian at all, otherwise, she would have been mad.
"Ah, why is this Chu Lian so hateful!" Princess Le Yao was angry and annoyed.
The county lord of An Min sneered lightly and rolled his eyes, "What's the use of being angry here, cousin? Since you don't like her, you can personally embarrass her, you and I are both royal daughters, and you don't have to be afraid of her? Don't forget, what kind of birth is this Chu Lian, now it's good to say, it's Mrs. Anyuanhou, it's not good, it's just a broken household." ”
Princess Le Yao's eyes lit up when she heard County Lord An Min say this, "Cousin, is there any way to help me get angry?"
In the afternoon, everyone gathered in the square in front of the paddock after a lunch break.
The square, which was covered with green grass, was enclosed with flags, and had been arranged in advance by the officials in charge of the paddock.
Among them, there are open-air stables, exquisite shelters, professional shooting ranges, well-kept polo fields, and so on.
Emperor Chengping walked at the head of everyone, and personally ordered the list of people who would follow him into the mountains and forests to hunt for a while.
Most of them are military generals, He Changdi, Xiaojun Wang Lu Tai, Zheng Guogong's Mansion Xiao Shizi and others are all impressively listed.
Among them, there is Sima Hui, a woman who does not let her eyebrows go!
King Jin, who had been standing behind Emperor Chengping, suddenly glanced in the direction of Sima Hui, that glance was very hidden, but with a gentleness and smile that others could not detect.
Sima Hui was raised as this boy since she was a child, and when she heard the words, she just smiled and saluted and obeyed orders, and her behavior was generous, without the shyness and embarrassment of ordinary women.
Her dashing behavior immediately won the appreciative eyes of several young generals around her.
Emperor Chengping's side was very fast, after all, it was not early, and they had to come back before dark.
So all the people got on their horses, and their hooves flew and ran toward the mountains and forests.
Just when Emperor Chengping and the others left, Princess Le Yao ignored the opposition of the attendants and guards around her, stepped on the horses in the hunting ground, shook the reins in her hand, and followed into the mountains and forests.
The county lord of An Min watched from a hidden place in the distance, a flash of disdain flashed in his eyes, and then the corners of his mouth raised.
She turned to the strange palace maid behind her and said, "Did you see it, tell the sixth brother that the matter is done." ”
He Changdi, He Lin, Guo Xiaowei and several others were specially named by Emperor Chengping to stay by his side.
At this time, whether it is He Lin or He Changdi, they have already hunted a few wild things, especially He Sanlang, his archery skills are excellent, almost no mistakes, at this time there are five arrows out of the quiver, and none of the arrows are empty.
Because of this, Emperor Chengping looked a little better at him.
In the dense forest ahead, suddenly a smart doe flashed, Emperor Chengping raised the longbow in his hand and was about to shoot in that direction, when the voice of the guards around him suddenly sounded.
"Holy Lord, it's not good!"
Emperor Chengping was distracted, and the doe in front of him disappeared.
Emperor Chengping said angrily in a low voice: "What's the matter?"
The guard shook, but still firmly reported the matter, "Back to the saint, Princess Le Yao followed, right behind." ”
"What?!It's just nonsense!" Emperor Chengping's face turned from sunny to cloudy in an instant.
When Princess Le Yao was young, she was favored by Emperor Chengping, Emperor Chengping liked to ride horses, and in addition to political affairs, she often went to the horse farm in the palace to ride horses to relax, so Princess Le Yao was not an ordinary royal golden branch and jade leaf, she would ride a horse since she was a child, and under the special training of Emperor Chengping, her riding skills were actually good, and it was not at all Chu Lian's kind of half-hanger that could be compared.
However, despite her superb riding skills, it can't hide the fact that she is still a half-grown child.
The horses she rides are domesticated docile little mares on weekdays, and the hunting grounds used for hunting are all unruly stallions, she is young, no matter how good her equestrian skills are, she doesn't have the strength to control the fierce stallions well, which is how Emperor Chengping is not worried.
In an instant, Emperor Chengping's eyebrows furrowed, "Yuanzhou, you take the two of you to look at Le Yao in the back and send her to Wei Guifei to be grounded!"
Yuan Zhou was the name of the guard who reported the situation, and after he received the order, he was just about to turn around, when Princess Le Yao's coquettish voice sounded behind him.
"Drive!"
Emperor Chengping stretched out his hand to stop the movement of the guards around him to leave, his face was even more ugly, and he led everyone to stop in place and wait for Princess Le Yao.
Not long after, Princess Le Yao really came.
She rode on a tall fierce horse, which made people look at her, and it really made her sweat.
Princess Le Yao obviously saw this, she smiled and raised her hand to greet Emperor Chengping, "Father!"
Emperor Chengping had a headache.
Before Princess Le Yao arrived at her side, she said angrily: "Be bold, who let you come, you have a little bit of a daughter's family!"
Princess Le Yao seemed to have expected Emperor Chengping to say this, she raised her chin and looked in the direction of Sima Hui, "Father, General Sima is also a woman, and she is here too, this is a woman who does not let her eyebrows go!"
Emperor Chengping didn't expect Princess Le Yao to refute himself with such words, and the anger in his chest was even worse.
Just as Princess Le Yao was riding a horse to Emperor Chengping's side, the fierce horse under her crotch suddenly raised its front hooves and neighed without warning, and then moved like crazy......
Emperor Chengping's eyes widened, "Protect the princess!"
At this time, the closest to their group of people belonged to He Changdi and Xiaojun Wang Lu Tai.
I don't know what's going on, Princess Le Yao's horse is obviously out of control.
Princess Le Yao screamed in fright because of such a sudden change.
In the past, she rode a docile little mare, where had she ever seen such a situation that she couldn't control, when she was young, her face turned white in an instant, and she was frightened and subconsciously screamed.
Even He Changdi, who had experienced his previous life, didn't have time to think about whether to save people or not to save people at this time.
At such an urgent and critical time, there is no room for people to think about gains and losses.
He Changdi and Lu Tai drove their horses together in the direction of Princess Le Yao.
Everyone looked nervously at the thrilling scene not far away, and their hearts were in their throats.
Emperor Chengping's eyes widened and he held his breath.
Pity...... He Changdi and Lu Tai and those guards were still slow......
After all, the distance is too far, and it is difficult to save the fire from far water.
Before He Changdi and Lu Tai arrived, Princess Le Yao was thrown off the horse.
That stallion is tall and strong, and Princess Le Yao is only an eleven-year-old half-grown child, and if she falls off the back of such a horse, even if she can save her life, I am afraid she will be half-disabled......
The stallion neighed violently, and the next moment it fell, stirring up a tiny cloud of dust on the ground.
The horse was killed by He Changdi with a sword, this horse is already crazy, if it is not killed in time at this time, maybe it will trample on Princess Le Yao who fell to the ground next to her.
Everyone hurried over.
Lu Tai carefully picked up Princess Le Yao, he didn't dare to move, for fear of touching the injured parts of Princess Le Yao's body.
Emperor Chengping came to Lu Tai's side with a shocked face, "Yao'er!"
Although Princess Le Yao's temperament is becoming more and more unpleasant, she was always Emperor Chengping's favorite little daughter before, and at this time, the youngest daughter was injured in front of his father, how could he not be sad.
By Emperor Chengping's shout, Princess Le Yao seemed to have regained consciousness in the fright of falling off the horse just now, she looked in the direction of Emperor Chengping, and the next moment she cried "wow", "Father, father, Yao'er is afraid that Yao'er will hurt!"
Emperor Chengping's heart was entangled, and the crying of the young daughter in front of the politically clear and wise emperor was also at a loss in an instant.
He could only comfort awkwardly, "Yao'er, don't be afraid, my father is by your side!"
After speaking, Emperor Chengping yelled at the imperial doctor again.
In fact, the spring hunt brought the imperial doctor, because hunting will always have some small injuries and pains, but the imperial doctor does not go out to hunt with them, and is still in the camping ground at this time.
He Lin saw that Emperor Chengping's face was dark, and hurriedly stood up, "Holy Lord, the imperial doctor is not here, Weichen is proficient in some medical etiquette, let Weichen show the princess!"
Emperor Chengping glanced at He Lin, and He Lin immediately came to Princess Le Yao's side to check her pulse.
Princess Le Yao **, He Lin's movements were very fast.
After a few moments, He Lin turned around, his brows furrowed.
"What the hell!" Emperor Chengping knew the commander of the Imperial Forest Army beside him very well, and when he saw the expression on his face, he already knew that it might not be good.
When He Lin was about to exit, Emperor Chengping raised his hand to stop him, and then walked a few steps to the side and motioned to He Lin to whisper.
He Lin organized his words, and his expression became more and more solemn.
"Holy Lord, forgive Weichen for his courage, Princess Le Yao's left leg may not be saved...... Even if you get a doctor with good medical skills, the best case is to save your left leg, but there will definitely be some problems walking in the future. ”
Emperor Chengping gasped.
What the?
Can't save your daughter's leg?
He Lin is an extremely conservative person, he speaks and does things in a very measured manner, he never declares what he is not sure about, since he said that Princess Le Yao's leg cannot be saved, the situation will only be worse than what he said.
Emperor Chengping closed his eyes and quickly calmed down his emotions.
He walked back to Princess Le Yao, at this time, he had regained all his senses, and at this time, in front of everyone, he was not only a father, but also an emperor who could not be violated and questioned.
"Yuanzhou, you take someone to send the princess back first, and when you arrive at the camp, immediately call Imperial Doctor Zhou to treat Yao'er. ”
Guarding Yuan Zhou immediately received the order.
Although Emperor Chengping and He Lin deliberately avoided a few steps to speak, He Changdi, who had sensitive five senses, still heard it.
He was slightly stunned in his heart, he didn't expect Princess Le Yao's leg to be healed well...... In his previous life, nothing like this had happened, and at that time, he knew that Princess Le Yao was still alive and well when he died.
Yuan Zhou was just about to take over Princess Le Yao from the hands of Lu Tai, the king of Xiaojun.
Who knows, Princess Le Yao, who was crying heartbreakingly, suddenly pointed at He Changdi, and cried with tears in her eyes: "Father, I want Brother Changdi to send me back, woo woo......"
Emperor Chengping was stunned, his deep pool of eyes swept He Changdi beside him, he was still holding the long sword that had cut the fierce horse in his hand, the tip of the long sword was still dripping with blood, and there was a solemn breath of slaughter.
In fact, Princess Le Yao's request was very abrupt and unreasonable.
Although it is a bit exaggerated in the Dawu Dynasty that men and women are seven years old, it does not mean that there is no male and female defense in the Dawu Dynasty.
He Changdi is a married man, and Princess Le Yao is eleven years old, she is a half-grown girl, in the Dawu Dynasty, women and women can marry after the marriage, and at the age of twelve, someone began to propose marriage to the daughter of the family, Princess Le Yao has already paid attention to the distance between men and women at this age.
What's more, Princess Le Yao developed relatively early, perhaps because of the good environment, she looks more mature than girls of the same age, but in fact she is only eleven years old, but she doesn't look much different from a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.
As soon as Princess Le Yao said this, many pairs of eyes around her immediately fell on He Changdi.
There are those who are inquisitive, those who are jealous, those who are disdainful, and those who have ill intentions......
He Changdi didn't expect Princess Le Yao to make such an excessive request.
If you want to say that the intersection between him and Princess Le Yao is that in order to enter the sight of Emperor Chengping as soon as possible, he deliberately saved her once by using the memory of the previous life, and later Princess Le Yao found a chance to see him a few times, when Princess Le Yao was only ten years old, where would He Changdi think more.
Later, he went to the north to fight for military exploits, and he only came back after the victory in the north this year, and he saw Princess Le Yao again in several banquets in the palace, and he only nodded when he saw it.
Although He Changdi resisted Princess Le Yao's approach from the bottom of his heart, he didn't think much about it, in his eyes, Princess Le Yao was really just a little girl who hadn't grown up.
He stood motionless, still with that cold handsome face and clear temperament.
Emperor Chengping obviously didn't know his daughter's true thoughts, he remembered that He Changdi had saved his daughter last year, and now he wanted He Changdi to send her back to the camp, probably because of his daughter's dependence on life-saving benefactors. He Changdi can give her a sense of security because he has saved her before.
He glanced at He Saburo and spoke, "Marquis An Yuan, you send the princess back." ”
Emperor Chengping personally spoke, He Changdi could only comply, he stepped forward, took Princess Le Yao from the hands of the little county king, and then took Yuanzhou and other guards, got on the horse and went straight to the camp.
The injury on Princess Le Yao's leg cannot be delayed.
Emperor Chengping watched He Changdi leave with Princess Le Yao, paused for a moment and didn't know what he was thinking, then stepped on his horse and led his ministers towards the depths of the mountains and forests.
His daughter was injured, and he didn't have much to think about spring hunting.
But it was not good to come out with so many ministers and noble children, and it was not good to return directly, so I could only cheer up and deal with it in a circle.
Chu Lian and her female dependents sat in the pergola drinking tea and watching the scenery, and this time, she sat next to Princess Wei and the county lord of Duanjia.
Sitting at the top is, of course, Wei Guifei, and then the princesses of the princes and the daughters of the royal family.
At this glance, there were also many people, and the three booths were full.
The county lord of Duanjia threw a splendid peeled walnut kernel into his mouth and rolled his eyes in the direction of the county lord of Anmin.
Princess Wei glared at her when she saw her actions, "Duanjia, don't be rude." ”
Chu Lian sat next to the county lord of Duanjia, and when he heard this, he also glanced at the county lord of Anmin.
At this time, the county lord of Anmin was chatting with several county lords and county lords.
There is no fief for royal clan women such as princesses and county lords in this dynasty, and women can not have fiefs like the Tang Dynasty, and they may be given a certain amount of land, but the treatment is very different from that of men.
Even if the royal golden branches and jade leaves are not cared for by those in power, they still have little status.
Princess Andeok, the mother of the county lord of Anmin, is such a person.
Princess Ande ranked eighth, the status of the mother concubine was low, and she was a low-ranking palace maid who was favored by the first emperor after being drunk, and later died soon after she had a difficult birth when she gave birth to Princess Ande.
It is rumored in the palace that Princess Ande is a mother, so no palace concubine is willing to raise her.
When she was young, she lived with the palace maids in the palace, and sometimes she didn't even have enough to eat, and later Emperor Chengping ascended the throne, and Princess Ande was titled.
However, because of her stumbling in the palace, Princess Ande had already passed the flowering period when she got married, and she only got a daughter of the county lord of Anmin when she was almost thirty.
It is precisely because of the existence of concubines that there is not harmony in the family of the county lord of Anmin.
Chu Lian retracted his gaze and asked the Duanjia County Lord beside him softly, "What's wrong?"
Lord Duanjia sneered, "I just don't like her, Chu Liu, you remember to stay away from this person." ”
Chu Lian recalled the previous plot in the original book, and the Anmin County Lord only described a few sentences in the book, and nothing else was introduced.
Before the county lord of Duanjia could explain to Chu Lian in detail why the county lord of Anmin was not good, he heard a commotion at the table where the county lord of Anmin was on the opposite side.
A young woman's laughter followed.
Everyone heard a delicate voice like a yellow oriole and said with a smile: "Guifei Niangniang, you see how boring we are just sitting here and watching the shed, and they won't come back until evening when they go to the hunting grounds!"
"It was the county lord of Nanzhang who spoke. Lord Duanjia whispered to her in Chu Lian's ear.
The lord of Nanzhang is the youngest daughter of King Lewen, although he is a clan relative, but his status is average, King Lewen is the second son of King Zhao, the brother of the first emperor, to the generation of the lord of Nanzhang, in fact, the bloodline has begun to be far away.
However, this lord of Nanzhang County is eloquent, and he often shows his face in some high-class banquets, which has left a deep impression on many noblewomen in Beijing, even Wei Guifei likes her mouth.
The title of the county lord of Nanzhang is what she said with her mouth, thinking about it like this, she is really a talent.
The identity of the county lord of Nanzhang is like a courtesan in the upper class now, and it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of those who really hold power.
Wei Guifei sat on the top and smiled elegantly, "You ghostly spirit, you can't sit still for a while? ”
"Niangniang is really wise, my little tricks have been seen through by Niangniang at a glance. Since Niangniang doesn't dislike me and speaks, then I dare to make a suggestion. As he spoke, the county lord of Nanzhang swept around the huge shed with a pair of slightly raised Danfeng eyes, and she had a smile on her face, which made people feel that she was easy to get close to.
"Although we are women, we are not powerless, although we can't reach the height of General Sima, but when it comes to horseback riding, there must be no one here who can't do it! Why don't we have a game of polo?"
The Dawu Dynasty is very popular in both polo and keju.
Because horses are expensive, most of the people are Keju popularized, and sometimes on the streets of Shengjing City, you can see young people meeting Keju.
And polo is mostly an aristocratic activity.
Aristocratic women are also basically willing.
Women's polo is gentler than men's, with different clubs and balls, fewer people than men, and the horses used in polo are the most tame mares selected out of thousands of people.
Generally speaking, there is basically no risk.
This event is also one of the few events where women can show their athletic talents.
Wei Guifei was obviously moved by the words of the county lord of Nanzhang, she laughed, "Nanzhang's proposal is good, since it has come out, we are also relaxed and relaxed, everyone is wearing riding clothes today, if you don't show a woman's demeanor, this riding dress is not worn in vain." ”
