Every spring hunting time, Emperor Jianwen would definitely take Empress Yu with him. All the princes would also accompany them. There are many people and it is lively. Emperor Jianwen liked the spring hunting and the excitement, so he would always invite people to accompany him every spring hunting.
Being able to accompany the emperor is a supreme honor, and it is proof that Jian is in the emperor's heart. In previous years, most of the royal family members accompanied him. This year, some officials and officials also received the order to accompany him.
For example, Lu Chi, the direct grandson of Mr. Lu Ge.
For example, Li Mo, the direct grandson of Mr. Li Ge.
For example, the Sixth Princess will also accompany him this year. Also accompanying him are several girls from Lianchi Academy. Xie Mingxi, Li Xiangru, Lin Weiwei, Fang Ruomeng, Xiao Yuhan, and Yin Xiaoxiao are among them.
Eunuch Lu, who was beside the emperor, went out to the palace in person to proclaim the edict.
…
When Xie Jun received the oral order, he was overjoyed.
The third and fourth princes are all sixteen this year, and the fifth prince is also fifteen. They have all reached the age of engagement.
Emperor Jianwen suddenly summoned several girls to accompany him on his journey, apparently wanting to observe the girls' character up close and decide on the prince's concubine.
With Xie Mingxi's outstanding performance, it is not difficult to be selected.
The Xie family is indeed a virtuous ancestor! A prince and concubine are about to be born!
Maybe there is still a chance to become a crown princess, and in the future, the mother will be like Empress Yu... At that time, won't the Xie family become a descendant clan, completely change the family, and enter the ranks of descendants and dignitaries?
Mr. Xie was also overjoyed and immediately said to Xie Jun: "Ajun, our mother-in-law is really destined to be rich and noble. As long as there are no mistakes in this spring hunt, she will definitely be able to marry into the Tian family and become the prince's concubine."
Xie Jun's face was full of pride, and he smiled heartily: "Who among the students in Lianchi Academy can match Ming Niang? The emperor and the empress have sharp eyes, how can they not see it?"
Mrs. Xu on the side even wrinkled her face with laughter, and praised her repeatedly: "Hey, my old lady has lived for decades, and she has never seen a girl as smart and beautiful as Ming Niang. She was born to be the daughter-in-law of the royal family.
.”
Mr. Xie rarely looked down upon Mrs. Xu and said, "That makes sense."
Xie Mingque and his wife were also happy together.
The second family now lives off the eldest family. Thanks to the prosperity of the family, they can also follow the rising tide, and their children and their marriages can also benefit from it.
When Xie Mingxi returned home, she saw everyone's beaming faces.
Mr. Xie was the first to say: "Ming Niang, in two days the royal spring hunting will be held. For you, this is a God-given opportunity that you must not miss."
"Exactly." Xie Jun couldn't wait to answer the question: "If you have the opportunity, you might as well have more contact with the princes. You and the Sixth Princess are close friends, and you should understand the principle of those who are closer to the water, the first to get the better."
A coldness flashed in Xie Mingxi's eyes, and she responded calmly: "Don't worry, father, I know what to do."
She kept the four porcelain bottles in the secret pocket in her sleeve.
No one can touch or force her.
Emperor Jianwen was no exception.
…
Lu Mansion.
"Ziyu, you will be lucky enough to accompany me on the spring hunt in two days." Mr. Lu Ge solemnly warned: "Remember to be careful in your words and deeds, and don't make a fuss about the limelight. Especially the princes and highnesses."
Seventeen-year-old Lu Chi has a slender figure, a handsome face, and is as gentle as jade.
"My grandson has remembered everything my grandfather said." Lu Chi nodded in agreement without asking any more questions.
Mr. Lu Ge looked at his proud eldest grandson with a hint of relief in his eyes. He couldn't help but say a few more words: "In the past two years, the harem has been turbulent, and the matter of establishing a heir apparent is imminent."
"The emperor's heart is unpredictable! No one dares to guess which prince the emperor prefers!"
"You have a good relationship with His Highness the Fourth Prince. I usually don't ask too many questions. However, your friendship as classmates has nothing to do with the Lu family's stance!"
Mr. Lu Ge spoke solemnly, and Lu Chi also suppressed his smile and responded cautiously.
Mr. Lu Ge had a lot of contacts with the Yu family and had always secretly supported the third prince.
However, Lu Chi could not get close to the approachable third prince, and instead had a close relationship with the cold and stern fourth prince.
The rumors of establishing a crown prince are getting louder and louder. The third prince and the fourth prince are fighting openly and secretly, and the fifth prince has no shortage of support. Most of the officials in the court are also involved in this dispute to establish the crown prince. It is really difficult to say who will get what he wants.
During this spring hunt, all the princes will surely compete to show off their skills in front of Emperor Jianwen.
Anyone who suppresses the limelight of the princes is asking for trouble because he doesn't know what to do.
Lu Chi was so obedient, and Mr. Lu Ge was quite satisfied. He then talked about how several boudoir girls and their companions were accompanying him this time: "... They have all fallen into the eyes of the emperor and the empress, and they may meet in the future.
Become a princess."
Lu Chi's heart tightened: "Grandpa..."
Mr. Lu Ge was well aware of Lu Chi's teenage thoughts, and laughed in a low voice: "Don't worry! I already mentioned your marriage to the Lin family girl at the beginning of the year to Lin Yushi. After the spring hunting, we will discuss it for you."
You two have decided to get married."
When the Tian family wants to choose a daughter-in-law, they cannot ignore the wishes of their courtiers.
Lu Chi's eyes suddenly lit up, and his voice was full of enthusiasm and excitement: "Grandpa, you didn't lie to me!"
Lu Ge Lao laughed: "When did my grandfather lie to you?"
A huge stone fell to the ground in Lu Chi's heart, and was replaced by deep joy.
…
"Speaking of which, Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess is also fourteen years old." Mr. Lu Ge laughed casually and said: "The boy from the Li family spends all day hanging out in front of the Sixth Princess. Could it be that he wants to be the consort?"
Li Mo used Lu Chi as a shield, but the truth was revealed within a few months.
After everyone in the Li family learned that Li Mo often went to the Sixth Princess for "discussions", their original angry objections immediately disappeared. Instead, they pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Emperor Jianwen only had two daughters. The eldest daughter, Princess Changping, had already hired a consort, leaving only the six princesses by her side.
How the Sixth Princess obtained the Holy Favor is obvious to everyone.
If you can impress the Sixth Princess, it will be a blessing to be recruited as your consort in the future.
With the Li family's indifference and connivance, Li Mo, who was unaware of anything, still happily went to find the Sixth Princess...and was beaten up every time.
However, Li Mo was willing to do so, and his admiration for the Sixth Princess only increased.
It can be seen that he is born with a masochistic constitution...
Lu Chi responded vaguely: "He does admire the Sixth Princess. If he could be the consort, I think he would be willing to do so."
…
It's more than just a wish, it's just something I think about day and night.
After Li Mo learned that he had the opportunity to accompany the driver, he laughed the whole night.
"Brother, please stop laughing." Li Xiangru couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "Don't you feel sour after laughing for so long?"
Seventeen-year-old Li Mo's appearance becomes more and more beautiful, his romantic and passionate peach blossom eyes sparkle, and his voice is sonorous and powerful: "It's not sour at all."
Li Xiangru: "..."
Li Xiangru couldn't bear to see his brother smiling like a fool, so he turned his head silently. (To be continued)
