Aoi is preparing what she will bring with her for this trip.
Seeing the little maid busy here and there, Xu Mingyi closed the book, looked at the two full boxes and cages, and couldn't help but said: "We are only going to stay in the palace for three days, why do we need to bring so many things?
"
Akui raised her head and said, "Girl, this is only half of it!"
It was already tidied up in half the day.
And where are there more of these things?
She still doesn’t think it’s enough!
After all, this is a spring hunt once a year, and there will be many ladies and ladies there. If others have it, her girls will naturally have it too - this is Aoi's top priority all along.
Seeing that the little maid looked like she had her own plans, Xu Mingyi said no more. Just as it is said that if you are not a householder, you don't know how expensive food and firewood are. Likewise, she never has to pack things by herself, so she is naturally a layman in this matter.
So he just added: "Don't forget to bring my bow."
Akui was stunned when she heard this.
"What is the girl doing with a bow?"
Xu Mingyi was also stunned: "...not going to spring hunting?"
"...Yes." Akui hesitated for a moment.
It's Harukai, yes, but those are men's affairs.
The ladies and ladies from all the families just went to enjoy the scenery, talk and laugh and join in the fun... The one who really went for hunting was her girl, right?
She said, why is the girl suddenly interested in this kind of thing? There is a misunderstanding here.
Therefore, he hurriedly explained: "This is the first time for the girl to go back. I'm afraid she doesn't know that the people who go into the mountain to hunt are military officers and young men from various families. The girl's family usually does not participate in hunting."
Only then did Xu Mingyi understand.
But he still said: "Take it with you, just in case you need it."
It doesn't matter if I can't go into the mountains with everyone. When I have free time, I can take Mingshi to practice riding and shooting.
Akui also agreed.
"Just bring that one -"
Xu Mingyi pointed to one of the bows hanging on the wall and said.
…
Early the next morning, chariots and servants from all the prefectures were waiting outside the city gate. When the holy driver arrived, they headed towards the Quanhe Palace in a mighty manner.
The imperial army opened the way in front, and Han Yan led the police guards to surround the emperor's car on both sides.
At the same time, accompanying the holy driver were two young men in brocade clothes riding horses.
One of them is Wu Chao.
The other is Crown Prince Jing, who just arrived in Beijing with his father King Jing yesterday.
Wu Chao turned his head slightly and looked at the king's carriage behind him with his peripheral vision.
Among the three princes who were ordered to go to Beijing to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, King Jing was the first to go to Beijing.
But when it comes to the three princes, Yunzhou, where the king is respected, is not the closest to the capital.
The King of Xiang is in Dianzhou, which is more than three thousand miles away, so it is reasonable to arrive later.
But King Yan’s fiefdom was only a thousand miles away from the capital—
But even so? King Yan must be the last one to enter Beijing.
After all, what if it comes too early? I’m afraid some people will make random speculations and feel uneasy.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears, interrupting Wu Chao's thoughts.
"Wu Shisun..."
Walking with him? The horse then drove a little slower. Prince Jing reined in the reins and leaned in the direction of Wu Chao. He smiled politely and said, "Wu Shisun arrived in Beijing early enough."
"Qia also wants to send my mother to Beijing."
Prince Jing suddenly said "Ah" when he heard this? He quickly asked: "Is Madam Prince's health better now?"
Wu Chao glanced at him.
In sight? A young man of sixteen or seventeen years old has an ordinary appearance, and he can't hide his dandy air, but his eyes are not filled with too much color.
Wu Chao looked away, nodded slightly and said, "I have recovered."
His mother had been ill before and lived in Ningyang for a period of time? This is naturally not a secret that cannot be mentioned.
The respectable palace is far away in Yunzhou.
If he knew it, he would have inquired carefully.
This was nothing originally.
But when Prince Jing asked about this matter so openly, it seemed a little too much and out of proportion.
In this case, either he is too simple-minded or he is too good at pretending.
And judging from the fact that the other party was almost charged with murdering the prince in the palace last year? The former is undoubtedly more likely.
"That's good." Crown Prince Jing smiled and said something else to Wu Chao.
And as the saying goes, you should never leave your profession? As he said this, he couldn't help but look at the women's car and sedan behind him? Then he asked quietly: "Wu Shisun, do you know if the girl from Zhen Guogong's mansion is here this time?"
?”
Wu Chao didn't answer? He just turned his head and looked at him.
His impression of this person? There are only two points.
One is the matter of the prince.
The second one is that this person had the delusion of giving Xu Mingyi a jade pendant. Fortunately, Tianmu finally did something like a bird and broke the jade pendant on the spot.
Could it be that after more than half a year, the evil intentions are still there?
"I heard that Miss Xu is now known as the most beautiful woman in the capital... She is well-deserved." Prince Jing didn't notice anything was wrong, and still whispered: "I thought
When it comes to beauties, no one can compare with our young lady from Yunzhou. It wasn’t until I met Miss Xu that I realized that there is such a stunning beauty in the capital! Wu Shisun, I wonder if you in Ningyang can compare with you..."
"Your Majesty—"
The young man on horseback interrupted him coldly.
Prince Jing was startled and looked up.
In the sight, the young man sitting on the horse with an upright figure and a handsome and cold face frowned slightly, and said seriously without squinting: "This is not Yunzhou, and the girls in Zhenguo Duke's Mansion are not the ones that the prince usually sees.
The woman in the smoke can be used by the prince to express his opinions - to prevent disaster, it is best for the prince to be careful with his words."
"..." Prince Jing opened his mouth in shock.
Young gentlemen gather together...what do they talk about if they don't talk about beauties?
But the other party is so serious. Tsk, these children from aristocratic families are really boring.
Furthermore——
How could misfortune come from the mouth?
He just whispered, where did the trouble come from? Who can hear it?
Moreover, this Wu Shisun is too unsociable. If he scolds him so bluntly, can we still talk to him today?
Alas, who could tell that someone could be reincarnated better than him? It was the grandson of King Dingnan.
If you are communicative or not, it is not that important. After all, it is really not necessary.
Therefore, he could only smile coquettishly and say again: "Wu Shisun is right to remind you. I made a mistake at the moment. I will pay more attention to it in the future..."
The boy on the horse just said "hmm".
When Prince Jing saw this, he no longer asked for trouble.
Quanhe Palace is a hundred miles away on the outskirts of Beijing. The official road along the way is straight and flat. If you ride an ordinary horse, you can reach it in at most one and a half hours. However, when the Holy Emperor travels, the formation is huge and cumbersome, and he stops and goes until the afternoon is approaching.
Outside the palace, the palace's elegant carriages and sedans stopped, and Xu Mingyi got off the carriage one after another, following Mr. Cui.
All around, ladies and ladies were chatting with each other in a polite and reserved manner or warmly and intimately.
At this moment, Xu Mingyi turned his head as if he had noticed something.
She always felt that there was a line of sight behind her that was always staring at her.
