At midnight, the mighty royal guard of honor departed from the palace and headed along the Central Street to the royal hunting grounds outside the capital.
Xia Bingyan, who was dressed in a bright red phoenix robe, naturally shared the ride with the Queen Mother and Princess Yuhua, while the Emperor's dragon driver walked in front.
From the moment she got in the car, the Queen Mother closed her eyes and fell asleep. She didn't say a word to Xia Bingyan. At first she would say a few words to Yuhua. Later, when Yuhua saw that the Queen Mother seemed unwilling to talk more, she stepped aside.
Chat with Xia Bingyan.
"Sister-in-law, can you ride a horse?" Yuhua's attitude has obviously changed since chatting with her the night before yesterday.
"Yes." Xia Bingyan smiled lightly.
"What about archery?" Yuhua was excited. This was her first time to participate in hunting. She was weak before, but later she refused to return to the palace because of shame and anger.
"meeting."
"Great, then, Sister-in-law Huang, can you teach Yuhua a lesson?" Oh, this Sister-in-law is great.
"Yuhua, girls, don't think about these things all day long, just learn more about female celebrities." The Queen Mother finally spoke, but it was obvious that she was targeting Xia Bingyan.
"Mother." Yuhua pouted unhappily, and Nuonuo returned to her seat and sat down.
"Zhizhi..." Qibao's excited voice sounded, and the next moment he rushed in from the curtain.
As soon as Yuhua heard Qibao's voice, she came over happily, but when she saw what Qibao was holding in his mouth, her face turned pale with fright.
"Yeah, snake, snake..."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was startled when she opened her eyes. A pair of phoenix eyes stared at Xia Bingyan and Qibao angrily.
"Queen, do you want to scare the Ai family to death?"
"Since the Queen Mother is afraid, just close your eyes." She glanced at the Queen Mother coldly.
Qibao jumped onto Xia Bingyan's hand, opened his mouth and let go of the little snake in his mouth. This snake was very small, its whole body was black, and the golden stripes flowing on its body could be vaguely seen.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her hand to open the curtain and looked at the sun. She was indeed not an ordinary person.
The little black snake was basking in the sun on a branch. Unexpectedly, it was caught by Qibao just after taking a nap. It struggled hard and couldn't escape. It was only at this moment that it was able to calm down the snake's gall that was almost scared out.
"Queen, is there nothing wrong here?" It's Wei Zhong. He heard the shouts of the Queen Mother and the Princess just now. The Emperor asked him to come over and take a look. He saw Xia Bingyan sticking her head out and holding a black ribbon in her hand.
The little snake's expression changed a little on the spot.
"It's okay. It's just that this beast frightened the princess and the Queen Mother. Let Dr. Murong come over and take a look."
"Yes, I will take care of it now." After saying that, Wei Zhong turned the horse's head and left.
Not long after, Murong Tao was waiting outside the carriage.
"Just come in, Dr. Murong." Xia Bingyan ignored the Queen Mother and said directly.
"Yes." Murong Tao opened the bead curtain and got in. The car was very spacious and the four of them didn't feel crowded. But before Nangong Tao could say anything, Xia Bingyan held up the object in her hand and asked him what it was.
Murong Tao looked at the little black snake circling in the middle of her white palm, pondered for a long time, and then exclaimed in shock, "Mo Yu."
Then he asked her with surprise in his voice, "My dear, can you see the golden threads flowing on your body when you look at the sun?"
"Exactly." Xia Bingyan smiled slightly, and it turned out to be Mo Yu, the legendary snake king who had long been extinct.
"Black Jade, the Lord of the Snake World, is said to be extremely poisonous. Just one drop can kill ten horses. It is said that Black Jade is as black as ink. In the sunlight, you can see the golden traces symbolizing the emperor. This thing is agile and noble.
Like the emperor, there will only be a black jade snake king every three hundred years. I didn't expect that the queen would catch it, and I admire it so much."
Murong Tao is Nangong Mo's personal physician. He is well-educated and experienced in pharmacological research. He is usually an indifferent courtier. Now that he actually said such words, it shows how excited he is.
"Sister-in-law, is this dark thing really that amazing?" Yuhua was originally scared to death, but seeing it lying in Xia Bingyan's hand, very calm, she gradually became more courageous.
"Well, take it with you and be invulnerable to all beasts." He gently nodded Mo Yu's little head and looked at the red snake letter spit out, "Since you met me today, I will give you a name, Mo Long.
, okay?"
"Hiss..." The little guy seemed to like Xia Bingyan very much, shaking his little finger-sized head and wagging his dark tail.
