"I regard my fiancé as a matter of course." Although Qin Xuerou blushed, she admitted her actions generously and asked: "You are entangled with the prince every day, and no one says anything about you? You are not allowed to set fire, no.
Let someone else light the lamp.”
Bai Ling was choked and speechless, and could only glare at Shangguan Yu.
Today, Nanshan Village is the host. Naturally, the village chief has to say a few words before the hunt can begin.
"Dear fellow villagers, the annual hunting competition is about to begin. As the village chief and the organizer of this competition, I hope you can remember not to break the peace during the competition. Everyone goes into the mountains together, and everyone
Come out of the mountain safely..." The words of the village chief are said by the village chiefs of each village every year, and everyone is already familiar with them.
However, there are bound to be dangers when entering the mountains, and no one will turn a deaf ear to it.
Especially the hunters in each village have to take care of the safety of all the villagers, which is also a heavy responsibility. They are all nervous and hope that the villagers will listen to the arrangement.
"Aren't you going hunting? Why do they bring so many things?" Princess Yayang asked in a low voice, pointing to the baggage behind everyone.
"After three days in the mountains, everyone couldn't bear to eat the prey, so they brought their own dry food and some items. The burden was naturally not small." Bai Ling explained: "My cousin and his cousin's are all at the boy's place. They will need it soon."
Carry it yourself."
"What about us?" Princess Yayang asked: "You have to bring a lot of things for three days, right?"
"Leave the tents and the like to the secret guards. As for food, I only brought a pot of water and a kettle for boiling water. The rest will depend on our luck after entering the mountain." Bai Ling spread his hands.
Let’s not mention Bai Ling and his entourage entering the mountain. After the King of Han and his entourage sent Princess Miya away from the capital, King Zhong rarely took the initiative to enter the palace and wanted to accompany the emperor to play chess and have a meal.
With Prince Zhong's arrogant personality, he naturally would not give in to the emperor, but the emperor was still vigilant.
For several days, King Zhong went to the palace to find the emperor. After every meal, the emperor would call the imperial doctor to ask for Ping'an's pulse, apparently because he was afraid that King Zhong would poison him.
"The emperor looks bad, but have you been troubled recently?" The emperor came to Cining Palace to pay his respects as usual. The Queen Mother waved away, and then asked with concern.
"Mother, you must have heard about it, right? King Zhong has been extremely unusual in recent days. He used to dislike entering the palace the most. Even when I have to deal with memorials, he will stay in the imperial study. I suspect that King Zhong has ulterior motives, but I can't guess.
See through his mind." The emperor said solemnly.
"Since you can't guess, don't guess. You are the emperor, and Prince Zhong is still your minister, even if he holds the seniority. Although the emperor has to care about friendship, Prince Zhong has his own fief, and it is not good for him to stay in the capital all the time.
A matter.
The Ai family has never met Prince Zhong. In the past few years, the Ai family's health has not been as good as before. They should have met him before going to see the late emperor."
As the Queen Mother spoke, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said meaningfully: "The previous dynasties and the harem are related to each other in all dynasties. The emperor does not need to worry about everything, just let the queen mother do something for you."
When the emperor heard the words, he immediately understood what the Queen Mother meant, and immediately smiled and said: "I have troubled my mother again. I leave this matter to my mother, so I can rest assured. I can't come to pay my respects to my mother these days. Today
At noon, I will have a meal with my mother."
"Okay, then let the imperial kitchen cook your favorite dishes. As an emperor, your health is the most important thing." The Queen Mother said kindly.
"In this world, the only person who treats her children most sincerely and has no purpose is the mother and queen." The emperor sighed. This is also the sadness of being an emperor.
"It's cold at high places. Since the emperor is a great person, he has to endure hardships that ordinary people cannot bear. The Ai family is the emperor's mother and queen. You and I, mother and son, are both prosperous. From the moment we are destined to be mother and son, we are
The closest person." Probably thinking of the past, the Queen Mother sighed softly: "My mother is old and can't always be by your side, and there isn't much she can do for you."
"My mother is strong and strong, so she is not allowed to say such things," the emperor said hurriedly.
"People are subject to birth, old age, sickness and death, and the Queen Mother has already taken it lightly." Not wanting to continue on this topic, the Queen Mother asked: "That girl Yayang, why did you agree to go to the countryside? Although she has the blood of the Han Palace.
, but after all, she is a princess of the royal family, and the emperor should not let her break the rules like this."
When mentioning Princess Yayang, the emperor looked apologetic in his eyes.
"Mother, everyone knows how Yayang has grown up over the years. Concubine Ming is not wrong, and Yayang is even more innocent. But I...especially in recent days, Yayang has suffered too much.
If she feels aggrieved, let her go out and relax. She is just a princess, and she has no desire to compete for the heirloom, so just let her go," the emperor advised.
The Queen Mother let out a long sigh, but didn't say anything this time.
Han Dynasty Palace.
Ever since the King of Han led a team to send Princess Miya off for marriage, the Princess of Han always felt uneasy, so she closed the door to thank guests and went to the small Buddhist hall every day to chant sutras and chant the Buddha's name.
In the past, the Princess of Han did not believe in these things, or not that much.
But this time Princess Han was extremely flustered and couldn't find the reason, so she could only improvise.
"Mommy, let Fei Ge pass a letter to Ziyuan, telling him that the prince is going to see off his bride... Forget it, I'll write the letter myself." Princess Han suddenly stood up, but the beads in her hand were broken.
The white jade Buddha beads fell to the ground, making a series of impact sounds, which was so clear and disturbing that it made people nervous.
"Quick, go to the study." Princess Han ignored the Buddhist beads on the ground and walked out of the temple quickly, as if the sky would fall if she was one step too late.
Seeing this, Aunt Yun hurriedly stepped forward to help Princess Han to prevent her from falling because she stepped on the beads.
On the hilltop of Nanshan Village.
Shangguan Yu had no intention of hunting when he went into the mountains this time, and was responsible for protecting the safety of several girls throughout the process.
It was hard for Shangguan Yu to explain which of his fiancée, cousin, future cousin's fiancée and best friend's sister was hurt.
Of course, Shangguan Yu is also biased and is always closest to Bai Ling. Even though he knows that she is the one who can best protect himself, he is still afraid that Bai Ling will get hurt because he is too scrupulous to use the space.
It was rare for Bai Ling and the others to be in the mood, so Shangguan Yu would naturally not do anything to spoil the fun. Occasionally, he would secretly shoot a few stones to alert the prey and let a few people discover it.
"It's getting dark, let's set up the tent first." Bai Ling looked up at the sky. The waning moon had already hung in the sky. Because it wasn't completely dark yet, he couldn't see the stars.
"Let's do it ourselves today. I'm a first-class tent builder." Qin Xuerou pointed to a relatively spacious open space in front of her and said, "Just right there. The terrain is flat. We won't be afraid of burning the mountain if we light a fire."
"Okay." Princess Yayang agreed.
It was the first time that she had to do everything by herself in the wild. Although she was very tired, Princess Yayang always had a smile on her face.
Compared with the life of being well-dressed and well-fed, with someone taking care of everything no matter how big or small, Princess Yayang feels that although she is a little tired physically at this moment, it is much easier than being tired mentally.
Shangguan Yu was noncommittal and made a gesture, asking the secret guard to put down the tent and other items, and then went aside to collect the prey.
It was not easy for girls to do these things, and everyone did not want servants to help, so Shangguan Yu had no choice but to go into battle himself.
"Oh my God! Is this a tent? Why have I never seen it before?" After a while, Qin Xuerou exclaimed. (To be continued)
