The daughter of the emperor returned to Beijing and got into trouble with the abstinent prince.
Chapter 41 Mulan Spring Hunt
Chapter 41 Mulan Spring Hunt
In early March, the Eastern Jin Dynasty held the Mulan Spring Hunt every year.
Royal nobles and prominent families would all travel from the capital to participate in this annual ceremony.
The activities prepared included archery, horse racing, Cuju, polo, and hunting. The Eastern Jin Dynasty was relatively open-minded, and both men and women could participate.
The fact that women can play on stage is thanks to Queen Shen.
Back then, Shen Qing, the legitimate daughter of Duke Shen, who was still in the boudoir, dressed as a man and took the place of her brother Shen Xun. She won the championship in one fell swoop, and was the first in archery, horse racing, and hunting.
The late emperor specially bestowed her the title of Guanying, and she became famous throughout the capital. She is truly a woman who is as good as any man.
It was also during that Mulan Spring Hunt that Shen Qing fell in love at first sight with Jun Heng, who was a prince at the time. They were granted marriage by the late emperor and it became a beautiful story.
Mulan Spring Hunting also became a place for the famous families in Beijing to find candidates for their young people for future marriages. If they were lucky enough to be granted marriage by the emperor, it would be an honor for the family.
Therefore, all the famous families who were able to accompany Mulan on the spring hunt would bring their daughters with them.
During the first few days, the most lively place was the polo match with prizes.
There are rare treasures in the palace, tributes from neighboring countries, and precious items prepared by the lord's mansion. There are weapons that men love, and there are also jewelry that girls like.
At this time, the game was going on in full swing, and the sidelines were filled with noble ladies. They didn't even sit at the seats prepared for them, and all rushed to the front.
Jun Leyao had just come back from the archery range after practicing when she saw this unprecedented spectacle. What rare thing happened at the range that could be so attractive?
"What are you looking at?"
"It's the match between Young Master Yun and the Second Prince. Look, Young Master Yun is about to score again!"
How dare someone play polo with his second brother? You know, Jun Chengxuan's polo is one of the best in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and he wins the championship every year.
Jun Leyao stood on tiptoe, preparing to take a closer look at who this Mr. Yun was.
"Ah! Be careful!"
"Everyone over there, scatter!"
"Fifth Princess! Danger!"
Jun Leyao looked at the polo ball coming straight towards her, her eyes widened, she was stunned and stood there motionless.
With a "bang", a golf club passed in front of her face and hit the ball accurately, saving her face.
And under this bright sun, the young man who saved her on horseback was even more dazzling than the sun.
He had a white jade hairpin in his hair, and his heroic facial features had a hint of gentleness, especially his fox eyes with upturned corners. What a handsome and elegant man.
"Where are you guys going? Can't you see the girls are all here?"
Yun Qianyi turned around, gently rebuked the culprit on the field, and then said to them:
"Ladies, please stand at the back. It's a little unsafe beyond this line. Men are all competitive, so they can't help but not pay attention to this side during the competition. Be good and go to the table to eat fruit and watch the game. Your legs will get sore if you stand for too long."
This handsome man is so gentle and considerate, who can not obey him? !
Then, all the women ran back to the table shyly, and some of them were even enthusiastic enough to tell the other girls who didn't hear it.
Soon, order was restored on the sidelines and the game resumed.
Yun Qianyi nodded with satisfaction. As expected, girls will be obedient and well-behaved as long as you coax them patiently. How cute.
With a yelp, she rode back to the center of the arena for the final round of competition.
Wen Jingxian, who was at the table, was so nervous that her palms were sweating. If Yun Qianyi hadn't just heard it, such a big thing wouldn't have happened.
That's the second prince, who dares to offend him? But Wen Jingxian knows Yun Qianyi's character very well. She will not care about the so-called royal face and will definitely try her best to win.
——An hour ago
Wen Jingxian was led by the palace servants to sit at the table. Just after she finished her tea, she was attracted by the prize on the field.
"Madam, that emerald hairpin suits you very well. Unfortunately, the commander has to inspect the hunting grounds, so he can't win the prize for you."
As a maid who has served Wen Jingxian since childhood, Lan Yue knows her preferences best.
"It's a pity. I saw that pair of gold-embroidered earrings, they are very small. I think they will look good on Fourth Sister."
Wen Jingxian didn't look at them herself, but instead took a fancy to several pieces of jewelry worn by young girls, and she was thinking of Yun Qianyi in her heart.
As the commander of the imperial army, Yun Xiuyi is responsible for the safety of the entire hunting ground. Yun Chengyi is going to Bitong Academy and will not arrive until tomorrow. Wen Jingxian also doesn't know how to play polo, so it seems that today, she can only be a spectator.
"Big sister, that jade hairpin is a tribute, it is not something that a minister like you are worthy of owning."
The voice belonged to Wen Jingyan, the concubine of the second prince Jun Chengxuan.
"What the Second Imperial Concubine said is right. I will keep it in mind." Wen Jingxian stood up, put her hands on her waist, half-knelt, and saluted respectfully.
"I haven't congratulated you yet, big sister. You finally don't have to be a widow anymore. Now you have some free time to start coveting these things that don't belong to you."
"I dare not." Wen Jingxian lowered her eyebrows and eyes, without a trace of emotion.
"Remember your identity. Even if the Yun family wins the emperor's favor, they are still subjects. Don't even think about competing with the royal family!"
After what happened on New Year's Eve, Jun Chengxuan thought he could take over the Imperial Guards smoothly, but he didn't expect that Yun Xiuyi's leg would be healed. Wen Jingyan shared the same aspirations as her husband, so she was naturally angry with her sister.
Thinking back to the beginning, I had repeatedly asked her to support the Second Prince Jun Chengxuan, but she had repeatedly refused. Now she was directly blocking Jun Chengxuan's way, how could Wen Jingyan not feel resentful.
The arrogant Wen Jingyan did not notice that when she left the table, a pair of fox eyes not far away were still staring at her.
"Madam, you have loved the Second Miss since she was a child. How can she speak to you like this now? Besides, you are the commander's wife after all, and you have an imperial decree. This is too much."
Lan Yue choked up as she spoke, feeling really sorry for Wen Jingxian.
"Lan Yue, there is a difference between the ruler and his subjects. Don't take it to heart."
Wen Jingxian's eyes were calm, without any emotional fluctuations.
Sincerity is exchanged for sadness, and in the end, only despair is left. She has long seen clearly that people will always change.
"It's just a hairpin. Second Miss's words are too harsh." Lan Yue bit her lower lip tightly.
"Sister-in-law, sorry for the wait."
Hearing the voice behind her, Wen Jingxian hurriedly winked at Lan Yue, who immediately blinked and held back her tears.
"Four." Sister?
Wen Jingxian looked at the man in front of her in surprise. This handsome, graceful and elegant young man was her fourth sister?
What does Yun Qianyi want to do with this outfit?
"Sister-in-law, I want to play polo, too."
Yun Qianyi bent down, gently lifted her chin, and closed her surprised little mouth.
His eyes and eyebrows were curved when he was smiling, like a little fox ready to do something wrong.
