The four-day hunting was finally concluded successfully.
Except for two days of rain, the rest of the time, the military generals and civilian officials chased the prey day and night, eager to sweep the entire hunting ground clean. Especially the military generals, who were usually close friends, turned against each other when they arrived at the hunting ground. Fortunately, there were
The rules are binding, and no one has caused trouble because of hunting for the time being.
When counting the prey in the afternoon, the military attachés were in high spirits, while the civilian officials wanted to dig a hole and bury themselves immediately.
Sure enough, the harvest was good.
Looking at the prey piled up in front of me, I nodded with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty, tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I have ordered people to clean up these prey. Then there will be a barbecue banquet!" Di Qing reported to me happily.
I said: "Just do what you want!"
Di Qing left happily and tremblingly. I opened the tent door and Xia Yan sat there obediently, waiting for my arrival.
"After tonight, we will go back to the palace!" I reminded him.
Xia Yan glanced at me and said calmly: "Since I have made an agreement with the king, I will know what to do!"
"Then I'll be relieved!"
One afternoon, Xia Yan and I sat in the tent and stared at each other. Normally, in this situation, we would say a few words to make ourselves laugh, but now we felt relatively speechless.
When will this kind of day end?
As night fell, the bonfire was piled up early, and everyone worked together to place the cleaned food on the fire for roasting. Pang Yi was responsible for the surrounding guards and stood motionless at the door.
Although Liu Chi is a national master, he is proficient in medicine and is currently busy testing poisons with silver needles to ensure that the food is safe.
Everything was ready, and the courtiers stood waiting in their seats early.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Junzi came in and announced: "Your Majesty, can we start the banquet?"
I nodded and stretched out my hand towards Xia Yan: "Let's go!"
Xia Yan came out of the palace without bringing his maid. Compared with the scene where the concubine Xian went there to take care of her, he did look a little shabby.
But it doesn't matter, as long as I'm standing by your side.
This open-air banquet was quite good. The ministers arranged their seats according to their rank, just like a private school classroom. There was a layer of hay mats on the ground and a table in front of them.
My seat is at the front, and on the left and right are the seats of Xia Yan and Concubine Xian.
"Your Majesty, can the banquet begin?" Pang Xiu looked at me kindly.
Not bad, I got it right this time!
I nodded with great satisfaction: "Okay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Concubine Xian cooing: "Your Majesty, wait a minute!"
She was standing on my left side. I turned my head and asked, "Why?"
Concubine Xian glanced at Xia Yan first, then came to me, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for beheading my concubine first and telling her later. I heard that your beautiful lady's father came all the way from afar, so she selfishly thought that your beautiful lady would marry far away."
The Xia Kingdom couldn't help but miss their relatives, so they took it upon themselves to fetch the beautiful lady's father from the palace, and asked the king to wait for a moment!!"
Concubine Xian seems to have a deep love for Sister Xia Yan, but only I know that she did this on purpose.
Since ancient times, only others have waited for the king. How dare the king wait for others?
I quickly said: "It rained heavily the day before yesterday, so the road may not go smoothly. It's understandable that I came late!"
Concubine Xian smiled maliciously and said calmly: "That's true. Your beauty's father has inconvenient legs and feet, so we should be more considerate!"
