Drowsily, Zhao Hongrun heard a faint rustling sound.
He reluctantly opened his hazy eyes and saw a woman wearing clothes on her smooth back.
Perhaps Zhao Hongrun's movements alerted the other party, so the woman turned her head and glanced at him indifferently.
"Quieer?"
"What are your orders, Your Highness?" Que'er asked in the same indifferent tone, still wearing clothes on her hands, as if nothing had changed because of her commitment to Zhao Hongrun last night.
Because he was really too tired, Zhao Hongrun mumbled a few words, but couldn't hear clearly what he said, and fell asleep again.
When Zhao Hongrun woke up again, he found that he was still holding a naked Ying'er in his arms. As for her sister Que'er, she had disappeared.
Smelling the lingering breath of the carriage after the clouds and rain, Zhao Hongrun sat up and rubbed his head, which might have been stinging due to a hangover.
"Well..."
Perhaps the movement of sitting up alarmed the woman on the pillow. Ying'er slowly opened her eyes and made eye contact with Zhao Hongrun.
At that moment, Zhao Hongrun felt that Ying'er's eyes were a little dazed, not as charming as he knew.
"Did I wake you up?" Zhao Hongrun asked sheepishly, "Please rest for a while."
Perhaps because she had been tossing for a long time yesterday and consumed a lot of energy, Ying'er looked quite tired. She nodded obediently and closed her eyes again.
Looking at her tranquility when she was sleeping soundly, Zhao Hongrun suddenly felt that this might be her true side.
After putting on his clothes and covering Ying'er with a quilt, Zhao Hongrun got out of the carriage.
When he got off the carriage, Ying'er opened her eyes and glanced at Zhao Hongrun's back. That look was really not as unfamiliar as the one she had committed to someone just last night.
After getting off the carriage, the cool breeze blew on Zhao Hongrun's face, making his groggy head slightly clearer.
"That's not quite right..."
he murmured.
Although he didn't want to arrange the pair of sisters who had just committed themselves to him last night, the expressions and attitudes of the two sisters after they woke up were a little strange, which made him feel a little inconsistent.
Zhao Hongrun has always believed that sexual intercourse is something that can quickly bring men and women closer together. He thought that he and Miss Su didn't actually know much about each other at the beginning. However, after spending one night together by chance, when they woke up the next day, they were obviously
It can be felt that Miss Su's attitude towards him has greatly improved.
But Ying'er and Que'er sisters still felt like strangers when they looked at him, which made Zhao Hongrun feel very uncomfortable.
"Your Highness."
Not far away, Zongwei Mu Qing greeted Zhao Hongrun with a strange look on his face: "Your Highness seemed to have a good rest last night."
Seeing Mu Qing winking and Lu Mu sniggering at the side, Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes angrily.
Presumably, the clan guards had already learned about what happened in the carriage last night, and were waiting to tease him now.
"Where's the bird?" Zhao Hongrun asked.
Mu Qing grinned, then nodded towards a bonfire not far away, and said: "Here, I'll prepare breakfast for you over there... Tsk tsk, she's such a nice woman, just like Mrs. Mi Jiang,
Don’t like to talk.”
Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes at Mu Qing angrily, and walked straight towards the pair of bonfires. Beside the bonfires, he saw a neatly dressed Que'er cooking a pot of rice porridge with a pot, so that Zhao Hongrun could smell it even from a distance.
You can smell the aroma of porridge.
Seemingly hearing the footsteps, Que'er turned around to take a look, then immediately stood up and saluted Zhao Hongrun: "Your Highness."
Perhaps the movement when she stood up had pulled a wound somewhere. She frowned in discomfort, but didn't say much.
Zhao Hongrun was a visitor, and he had already guessed something when he saw Que'er's frowning behavior, and asked with some distress and pity: "Why don't you rest on the carriage for a while?" Then, he called Que'er to a piece of wood next to the campfire.
Sit down.
Que'er shook his head and said indifferently: "The prince ordered Que'er and my sister to serve His Highness."
"My lord...is he the sixth uncle, right?"
Zhao Hongrun breathed out, not knowing what to say.
He felt a little strange, because when he and his brother Zhao Hongxuan went to see Liu Wangshu two nights ago, Liu Wangshu reminded him that sisters Ying'er and Queer were different from most of the women in the pavilion.
The uncle "gifted" the sisters to him.
After much deliberation, Zhao Hongrun could only understand that Uncle Liu Wang hoped that he would treat the sisters well and not despise or treat them badly because of their background.
"It really looks like Mi Jiang..."
Looking at Que'er's side face, Zhao Hongrun said secretly.
It has to be said that the indifferent expression of this bird is really comparable to Mi Jiang, but Zhao Hongrun has a vague feeling that this bird is more indifferent and hypocritical than Mi Jiang.
Of course, hypocrisy here is not entirely a derogatory term, it just means that Que'er seems to be wearing a mask, appearing to be submissive and well-behaved, but in fact, maybe she doesn't care about anything.
In contrast, Mi Jiang is much more straightforward. As long as someone talks about something she is not interested in, she will not react at all, let alone cater to it.
Perhaps because she noticed that Zhao Hongrun was looking at her intently, Que'er turned her head and looked at Zhao Hongrun. She was not shy or panicked, her eyes were calm and calm, as if asking: What are your orders, Your Highness?
"It's okay, it's okay."
Zhao Hongrun shook his head. To be honest, he was not naturally good at dealing with this kind of women. One Mijiang was enough to give him a headache, and now here comes Queer.
Think about it carefully, wasn't Que'er quite proactive last night? Could it be that it was Ying'er?
Zhao Hongrun was a little confused.
After hearing Zhao Hongrun's words, Que'er didn't say much, and just said calmly: "In a little while, we can eat."
"oh……"
After waiting for a while, his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan, Princess Yulong, Oona, Mi Jiang and others all got up one after another, while the Zong Wei and Su Wang Wei also yawned and walked out from their respective marching tents.
During this period, Zhao Hongrun noticed that Oona's eyes were a little angry when she looked at him, and she was really confused.
Later, it wasn't until Wei Jiao, the chief of the imperial guards, explained it in his ear that Zhao Hongrun suddenly understood.
It turned out that Oona was planning to sneak onto Zhao Hongrun's carriage last night. Unexpectedly, Wei Jiao, Mu Qing, and Lu Mu, the three clan guards who were on duty at night, told her that the sisters Ying'er and Que'er were on that carriage at the moment.
So Oona went back angrily.
"This is really..."
Apart from dumbfounding, Zhao Hongrun could only find a way to coax Oona.
Fortunately, Oona is not a pretentious woman. This straightforward daughter of the prairie, after being coaxed by Zhao Hongrun for a while, the resentment in her heart immediately subsided.
As for Mi Jiang, there is no need for Zhao Hongrun to coax her, because this woman is indifferent by nature and this kind of thing will not affect her.
Just like what Zhao Hongxuan said when teasing his elder brother, "Blessings are not shallow", Zhao Hongrun lived really comfortably in the next few days. At night, Oona, Ying'er, and Que'er sisters took turns sleeping together, so that Zhao Hongrun felt quite happy to miss Shu.
.
It wasn't until a team of imperial guards found the team and reminded Zhao Hongrun to return to the Hunting Palace to attend the banquet in the Central Palace on May 20th that Zhao Hongrun suddenly realized that half a month had passed in a flash.
"The Tomb of Heroes of Gentle Township."
Although Zhao Hongrun did not consider himself a hero, it did not prevent him from using this sentence to laugh at himself, because without the reminder from the Imperial Guards, he might have forgotten the date.
During this half-month, princes and nobles such as Zhao Shen, the Prince of Chengling, Zhao Tan, the Marquis of Anping, Uncle Feng, the Marquis of Yuanling, Sun Mou, the Marquis of Huyao, Zhao Jian, the Marquis of Wanlong, and Jiang Dan, the Marquis of Gaoyang, also took part in the trip with their nephews.
Of course, their main purpose in this imperial hunt was to flatter Emperor Wei, and to brag and flatter him when Emperor Wei fired his bow and shot the prey, even though Emperor Wei almost only shot that arrow.
On the morning of May 20th, Zhao Hongrun and his party returned the same way, preparing to return to Zhongyang Palace to attend the banquet.
It has to be said that imperial hunting is indeed different from ordinary hunting, at least in terms of the number of prey. In the past, when Zhao Hongrun went out hunting alone, he would often have to run for a long time before finding a few prey, but in this place where birds and beasts are everywhere,
In the Zhongyang hunting ground, there were so many prey that it seemed like he could hit a few prey with just a single bow. Although he knew that this was the credit of the Yangwu army guards, his sense of accomplishment did not diminish at all.
After returning to Zhen Palace in Zhongyang Palace, Zhao Hongrun took the lead to wash up. After all, he had not had much opportunity to wash up in the hunting ground for the past half month.
However, when he finished washing and went back to the side hall to take a look, he found that the sisters Ying'er and Que'er had disappeared.
Only after asking the clan guards did he find out that the two sisters had returned to his uncle Zhao Yuanli, the Sixth Prince.
This made Zhao Hongrun feel a little disappointed. After all, after half a month of getting along, he had already regarded Ying'er and Que'er as his women.
But he didn't know that at the residence of his uncle Zhao Yuanli, the Sixth Prince, Zhao Yuanli was furious at Ying'er and Que'er sisters.
"Why come back?!"
Zhao Yuanli showed a rare angry look.
It turns out that Zhao Yuanli sent Ying'er and Que'er to his nephew Zhao Hongrun. On the one hand, he hoped that the two girls would charm this nephew and not want him to participate in today's banquet in the palace. On the other hand, he also wanted to find a home for the two sisters.
But what he didn't expect was that at the last moment, his nephew Zhao Hongrun and the sisters Ying'er and Que'er would come back, which made Zhao Yuanli furious.
Facing Zhao Yuanli's anger, Ying'er and Que'er looked calm. Sister Ying'er chuckled and said: "You can't blame me and my sisters. Lord foster father, it was the imperial guards who found us... foster father."
My sisters have already done what you were told, right, Que'er?"
Beside, Que'er nodded indifferently.
Zhao Yuanli looked deeply at Ying'er and said coldly: "When did you learn to be submissive to me?!"
After hearing this, Ying'er lowered her head, stepped forward and gently hugged Zhao Yuanli's arm, whispering: "Sir, please calm down, we are just worried..."
Zhao Yuanli was stunned when he heard this, then reached out and patted Ying'er's back gently.
After a long time, he sighed in a low voice: "Silly girl..."
