Chapter 515: Qing's Love, Yue's Longing

Chapter 515: Qing's Love, Yue's Longing (Part )
On the banks of the Jinshui River, a jade belt runs through the entire Forbidden City, flowing southward, passing the west wall of the Cining Garden, and continuing southward along the west wall of the Renzhi Hall. After passing the west wall of the Wuying Hall, the river gradually widens and forms a "J"-shaped turn at the location of the Duanhong Bridge.

Under the silver snow of winter, this jade belt looks even more flying and agile. It not only carries the passage of time, but also seems to be whispering, telling the lingering and unknown thoughts of the women in the deep of the harem.

Snow flutters lightly on the red steps, and fine frost forms between the green branches.

The carved railings and jade steps are covered with blooming white jade, while the white jade is connected with the elegant green bamboo.

The walls and tiles complement each other. Under the throne, the imperial power is forever strong and the years are peaceful.

This is the Forbidden City!
Liu Qing held Ou Qing's hand and strolled in the center of power of the Ming Dynasty.

After the palace maid's announcement, the two entered Kunning Palace and got rid of the cold air before walking into the palace under the guidance of the nanny.

Queen Xia sat in front of the cradle, looking at the baby in the cradle tenderly.

"Your Highness Liu Qing pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen."

"Ou Qing greets Her Majesty the Queen!"

"Qingqing and Qingzhi are here!" Queen Xia looked up at the two of them, smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Come quickly."

Liu Qing led Ou Qing closer and finally saw the little guy in the cradle clearly.

The baby's face was like a newly blossomed peach, tender and pure, with its small lips slightly pouting, as if it was tasting sweet milk in a dream. Its breathing was gentle and even, and every breath brought a sense of tranquility and peace.

The thin eyelashes gently covered the eyelids, occasionally trembling slightly because of a wonderful moment in the dream, like the moment when a butterfly fluttered its wings and was about to fly. The little fist clenched unconsciously, and then slowly loosened, as if exploring the outline of this unknown world.

"She is indeed of the royal bloodline, born extraordinary." Liu Qing said with a gentle look, "I feel that I can stand here and watch the little princess sleep for a whole day."

"Qingqing is joking. She is so quiet only when she is asleep. When she wakes up, she will tear down my Kunning Palace."

Queen Xia shook her head, looked at the steady Ou Qing beside her, and asked with a smile: "Qingzhi, is the princess cute?"

"Cute!" Ou Qing retracted her gaze and answered with certainty.

"Then you must protect your sister the princess in the future!" Queen Xia laughed happily, her words full of teasing.

Ou Qing patted his chest with pride and said loudly, "Please rest assured, Queen, Qingzhi has been protecting his sisters since he was a child and is very experienced."

"Haha. You are worthy of being the talented child of the Ou family." Queen Xia touched Ou Qing's head and praised with satisfaction.

Liu Qing on the side smiled reluctantly, but didn't want to offend the Queen.

After staying in Kunning Palace for a while, Crown Prince Zhu Zaiyao was sent over. Queen Xia immediately stood up and ran to her eldest son who was over one year old. After holding him in her arms, she coaxed him with soft voice and rubbed the child's little hands carefully, for fear that the winter cold would disturb him.

Ou Qing turned her head to look at the rocking bed and found that the baby inside was sleeping soundly, kicking unconsciously, revealing its round little feet.

He looked at the adults and found that everyone's attention was on the prince, so he reached out on his own initiative and pulled the soft quilt out a little to cover the little girl's round little feet.

As it was getting dark, Liu Qing took Ou Qing away.

That day, Liu Qing went to the study and told Ou Zanghua exactly what Queen Xia had said.

After hearing this, the first person Ou Zanghua thought of was Cui Yuan.

This man was handsome, well-read, intelligent and resourceful. He married Princess Yongkang, the second daughter of Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, and was granted the title of Duke of Fuma.

Because of his reputation as a virtuous man, whenever the imperial court sent an important order, it would be assigned to him.

Ou Zanghua had met Cui Yuan before. He was the best-looking handsome uncle-type man over 40 in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Ou Qing perfectly inherited the advantages of Ou Zanghua and Liu Qing. She has long legs at a young age, and is elegant, refined, calm and dignified.

"My husband, what do you think about this?" Liu Qing held Ou Zanghua's hand and said with a melancholy look: "I don't want Qingzhi to become a victim. He can find a woman he likes and live a good life."

"Don't worry," Ou Zanghua hugged Liu Qing tightly in his arms and comforted her softly, "I, your husband, have made great achievements, not to add another shackle to our children and grandchildren. We are not in a hurry about this matter. Let's wait and see what happens to Qingzhi himself! If he likes it, then let him go with the flow. If he doesn't want to, I will also help him."

Ou Qing knew nothing about this and he continued to live and study as usual.

In order to test out what the children are interested in, Ou Zanghua gathered Ou Qing, Ou Ling, Ou Shan and Ou Yue together and taught them at the same time.

From music, chess, calligraphy and painting to horse riding and archery, from military tactics and deployment of troops to astronomy and geography, from boxing and swordsmanship to light skills and internal strength.

Any knowledge that Ou Zanghua had a little knowledge of, he would explain to the children.

After half a year of observation, it was discovered that Ou Qing was more interested in the art of war.

Ou Ling and Ou Shan like painting. The two little girls often randomly put various paints on paper. It can be seen that they have a lot of ideas, but they just don't have the ability to express them.

Ou Yue likes reading. Although he is still young, after Ou Zanghua taught him to read, he can read "Ming Xin Bao Jian" and "Dui Xiang Si Yan Za Zi" by himself.

In just a few years, he began to read the Four Books and Five Classics and the classics of various philosophers. Whenever he did not understand something, he would directly ask his father.

In the 19th year of Zhengde, Ou Qing was ten years old. Led by his parents, he rode his pony for the first time and followed the emperor to Nanyuan for hunting.

Nanyuan was the royal garden of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Because the old course of the Yongding River passed through the garden, it formed a large lake and swamp with lush vegetation, beasts and elk. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was the royal hunting ground, known in history as "Xia Ma Fei Fang Bo".

After Emperor Taizong moved the capital to Yanjing, he drove away all the residents living in the lake, expanded the palaces, and built a 120-li wall around it, calling it "Nanhaizi". The hunting ground of the Yuan Dynasty was expanded dozens of times. "Autumn Wind in the South Park" in the Ten Scenic Spots of Yanjing in the Ming Dynasty refers to the area around Nanhaizi.

Today, this place was converted into a royal hunting ground by Emperor Zhengde, and every autumn, civil and military officials and their families would be organized to go hunting. Ou Qing rode a pony, following a group of Jiangxi military generals, holding a short bow in his hand, his eyes full of eagerness to try.

Taining Marquis Chen Ru looked back and said to the generals, "You must keep an eye on this precious child of Lord Ou's. If he gets hurt, Madam Ou will not let you off!"

"Uncle Chen underestimates me," Ou Qing said, "I have learned how to ride and shoot!"

"Is Aokiji an accurate shooter?" Twenty-one-year-old Yu Dayou asked with a smile, riding a horse beside Ou Qing.

Over the years, under the remote guidance of Ou Zanghua, Yu Dayou took the imperial examinations twice and finally succeeded, becoming a juren.

Afterwards, he packed his luggage without hesitation and rushed to the capital to reunite with his mentor.

After arriving in the capital, Yu Dayou learned that Tang Shunzhi, who was four years younger than him, also obtained the status of juren in the same year, but Senior Brother Ou Men chose to stay in his hometown and concentrate on his studies.

Ou Qing blushed when she heard this, and hesitantly said, "Let's not talk about this!"

"Haha. It's okay. Aokiji, just follow me." Yu Dayou smiled heartily. He had average talent in studying, but he was a genius in martial arts. He was proficient in swords, spears, sticks, bows, crossbows, whips and shields.

Ou Qing knew Yu Dayou's strength, so she agreed with a smile.

The Jiangxi military generals around him looked at the child with full affection and protected him in the middle.

At this time, the Nanyuan soldiers who entered the forest drove out the first batch of animals, most of which were herbivores such as musk deer, hares, and elk.

Ou Qing's eyes lit up, and he immediately drew his bow and arrow, aiming at a musk deer and shot the first arrow.

But his strength was too weak, and the arrow only hit the musk deer without hurting it.

Upon seeing this, Yu Dayou began to impart some tips to Ou Qing. Under his patient guidance, Ou Qing shot another musk deer with his second arrow. This time the arrow got stuck in the animal, and although it did not kill it, it successfully broke its defense.

"Very good, very good, Aokiji learns very quickly!" Yu Dayou was generous in his praise. At the same time, he drew his bow and shot an arrow through the musk deer's head.

At this moment, Ou Qing suddenly shouted, "Brother Yu, there is a snow-white rabbit over there!"

“Huh?!” Yu Dayou glanced over and immediately found the white rabbit hiding in the bushes. He immediately drew his bow and was about to release the arrow when he heard Ou Qing shout, “Don’t kill it, catch it alive!”

Yu Dayou paused, then broke the arrowhead, controlled the force, and shot the arrow.

The snow rabbit bounced up and fell to the grass, fainting as if it had been hit by a club.

Ou Qing was overjoyed when he saw this. He immediately dismounted and caught the snow rabbit. The soldiers following him immediately took out a cage and put the snow rabbit in it.

"Brother Yu, your rabbit!" Ou Qing came back carrying a cage and shouted happily.

How could Yu Dayou not see what Ou Qing wanted?

He waved his hand and said casually: "If this thing falls into my hands, it will only be a barbecue life. I give it to you!"

"Thank you, Brother Yu!" After hearing this, Ou Qing smiled and clasped his fists to express his gratitude.

After he climbed onto the horse, he hesitated when looking at the rabbit. His three younger sisters all liked small animals, and this one was not enough for them to share!

"Forget it, let's see if we can catch two more!" Ou Qing sighed and followed Yu Dayou for another hour or so. During this time, he shot and killed many animals, but he still couldn't find any white rabbits.

Seeing that Ou Qing was very tired, Yu Dayou said hello to Chen Ru and took Ou Qing back to the camp first.

At this moment, on one side of the camp, the soldiers had built dozens of bonfires. Various prey were gutted, processed by the chefs, and then roasted around the bonfires.

Five-year-old Zhu Zaiyao and four-year-old Zhu Mingyue wandered around the camp under the protection of a large group of palace maids, eunuchs and guards.

Finally seeing an acquaintance coming back, Zhu Zaiyao happily waved and said hello: "Brother Qingzhi, here!"

When Ou Qing saw Zhu Zaiyao, he quickly led Yu Dayou to dismount, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Yong'an!"

Princess Yong'an always had a faint blush on her cheeks, her bright eyes were like a clear spring, and she was reserved yet a little shy.

Hearing Ou Qing's greeting, she subconsciously hid behind her brother.

"Brother Aokiji, no need to be polite!"

Zhu Zaiyao tilted his head and saw the cage in Ou Qing's hand. He asked with some joy, "Is this Brother Qingzhi's prey? It's amazing! Is it dead?"

"No, I caught it alive." Ou Qing smiled and showed it to Zhu Zaiyao. The little thing's body was heaving up and down, and it was obvious that it had just fainted.

Princess Yong'an stuck her head out and stared at the little rabbit without blinking, curious about why it was so white.

Seeing this, Ou Qing asked, "Does the princess like this?"

Princess Yong'an looked up at Ou Qing and saw that he was smiling brightly. She nodded subconsciously and said, "I like it."

"Then give it to the princess!" Ou Qing's eyes lit up, and he happily gave this trouble away. Otherwise, if he brought this into the camp and was seen by his sisters, there would be another "bloodbath".

Princess Yong'an was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly and said, "Thank you, Brother Aokiji."

 I have a lot of things to do tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so I'll go on a long trip. I'll try to update on Sunday night!
