All major aristocratic families will not miss this opportunity. Whether their son or daughter is favored by the emperor, it is an excellent opportunity.
There are countless aristocratic families in Tianqing. If the eight kings had not died, I don’t know what Tianqing would be like today.
Although there is no royal family, the power of the aristocratic family also threatens the royal family. Zhao Zongheng seems to be interested in strengthening the clan, and the major aristocratic families are divided into separate families and control it very accurately, not allowing one family to monopolize power.
And now that a queen has appeared in the Si family, it seems that the balance in the family has been broken for many years.
Fortunately, although the emperor had appointed the daughter of the Si family as his queen, he had no intention of favoring the Si family. He did not consider the Si family at all when transporting grain around the countryside, which also gave the major families a little peace of mind.
The location for spring hunting is set at Wuyang Mountain.
The Clothing Bureau and the Decoration Bureau rushed to deliver phoenix crown clothes and dresses, a phoenix crown made of jasper and glass beads, and a phoenix robe made of silver brocade, all of which were placed in front of Siningchi the day before the spring hunting.
"Tomorrow, when the empress wears her clothes to go to the hunting ground, she will certainly be stunning in the crowd." Su Yun held the phoenix crown in her hands and showed admiration.
"It's really beautiful." Si Ningchi stared at the orb inlaid on the top of the phoenix crown and smiled, turning his head and commanding: "Both the Clothing Bureau and the Decoration Bureau will reward you."
"Yes." Suyun quickly lowered his head and agreed.
Wuyang Mountain, also known as the back garden of the imperial palace, was the emperor’s hunting ground.
Every year before hunting, someone will go into the forest to check to prevent the presence of overly ferocious beasts such as jackals, tigers and leopards in the forest.
Si Ningchi left the palace for the first time. He pulled the curtains and looked out all the way. Unfortunately, the convoy did not pass through the downtown area. The road it passed had already been cleared. All he could see were the emperor's guards accompanying him.
.
Si Ningchi looked away with some disappointment, and wandered to the foot of Wuyang Mountain with his chin propped up.
"Welcome Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen——" The uniform tone made her look sideways, and there was a crowd of people kneeling in front of her.
"Yes." Zhao Zongheng glanced at everyone, raised his hand casually and walked over.
"..."
Si Ningchi looked at Zhao Zongheng's back, originally thinking that he was just not interested in women, but he didn't expect that in front of the minister, he also looked so indifferent, and didn't even bother to say a few words.
The preparation of the hunting ground was like a royal afternoon tea. After Si Ningchi followed the emperor to meet the ministers, he went to the back camp.
This is a place prepared for the female family members. In addition to her, the queen, almost all the concubines and concubines in the palace are here today. All the ministers and family members in the rear camp are here to welcome the queen.
"See the Queen." Si Ningchi sat on the main seat, followed by Concubine De and Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu was still ill and had not left the palace, then Concubine Rong, Concubine Yuan and others, followed by the ladies.
The location is also very particular.
"The pearl on the phoenix crown of the Queen is so beautiful. I wonder what kind of pearl it is?" Everyone took their seats in a polite manner, and then the sharp eyes saw the phoenix crown on Si Ningchi's head.
"Mrs. Zhang, don't you know this?" The woman next to her said with a shy smile: "That is a jasper and glazed orb, the only treasure in the world, and only our empress can wear it."
"It's such a rare treasure!?" Mrs. Zhang was slightly shocked, and quickly praised: "The Queen's dress is so beautiful, and the dazzling beauty is really the first in the world!"
"The two ladies are very supportive." The lady on the right sneered and said, "I'm afraid you are very envious, right?"
"After all, the lady of the Si family is a peasant woman from a rural background, but now she has taken the position of the mistress of the house and became the queen's aunt." This lady was taller and spoke directly.<
/p>
After these words came out, many people in the hall changed their expressions and hurriedly raised their eyes to glance at the queen sitting on the throne.
Then he looked at the woman who was speaking, widened her eyes, and secretly gritted her teeth. She just talked about it on weekdays. How dare she say it in front of the Queen!?
Li Xiunan was not afraid of those looking at her at all, she just kept picking at the food in the bowl and said with a smile: "My wife is stupid and said bad things, please don't blame the queen."
"..."
Si Ningchi had some time to rest and propped up his chin, listening to the gossip with great enthusiasm.
The atmosphere in the hall froze for a moment, and everyone was looking at the queen's face. There were always rumors outside that the queen was acting erratically, and had done things that put human lives at risk, and would kill you in the next second if you couldn't protect yourself.
"Talk about common things, don't be so restrained." Si Ningchi looked like he hadn't heard enough. He looked around and found that Si Ningchi's stepmother had not arrived.
Si Ningchi lowered his eyes and smiled. It turns out that the Si family also knows their dignity, and a step-sibling is worthy of attending the royal banquet?
After this fuss, the ladies have become much more honest and do not dare to talk nonsense anymore.
The emperor was discussing the hunting with the adults in front of her. She didn't want to just sit with these women, so she simply found an excuse to walk outside the camp.
There are soldiers stationed outside the camp, and the strict sentries make people feel particularly reassured. The emperor's guards are protecting the camp. Even if Si Ningchi walks around at will, there is a large group of people behind him.
With dignity, you also lose freedom.
Everything you say and do seems to be being watched at all times.
Si Ningchi was looking at the mountains in the distance and was lost in thought. Suddenly he heard some noise in his ears. Looking sideways, he saw the woman getting off the carriage, wearing a light apricot dress, smiling.
So bright and moving.
"I don't want to ride in my king's car because I have other motives." Gao Hanqi had an ugly look on his face, staring at the woman in front of him as if he was a little embarrassed.
"Prince Jing and I are strangers, so why bother to send him off to you?" The bright and beautiful woman is none other than the heroine in the original comic, Si Qiong Lian, the youngest daughter just found by the Si family. p>
It's funny to say that Si Qionglian is the same age as Si Ningchi, and they were even born on the front and back legs.
I heard that the Xiwu Hou Mansion was very lively that day, but the mistress did not see the Marquis returning to the house after giving birth. It was rumored that there was something in the palace that got in the way, but later I found out...
Her father went to accompany Mr. Liu to give birth. The baby daughter he cherished was never her.
"You..." Gao Hanqi was a little worried. He followed his mother's wishes and wanted to get closer to Si Qionglian, but he didn't want her to take it seriously. He went to pick her up from a hunting trip today, but found that she had fallen in love with someone else.
car driving.
As for the man driving the car, Gao Hanqi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his eyes and fell on the stopped carriage. The dark-colored carriage gave off a bit of a no-no atmosphere.
In this Tianqing Kingdom, there is only one person who can use such a black car like ink, the emperor's uncle who never sees the dragon.
Respected as the Holy King.
The late emperor was a close relative, and everyone's memory of the Holy King probably stayed in the year of the Nine Kings Rebellion.
