royal girl

Chapter 270 Alliance
The banquet held by Concubine Han was very lively, and Huiyu has undoubtedly become the focus of everyone's attention because of Princess Hulan's affairs.It's just surprising that, who would have thought that Concubine Jing and Princess Hulan, who had looked at each other with disgust before, would sit opposite each other and talk happily. What's going on?
Concubine Han was also very surprised. She didn't expect to see such a situation. She changed her mind and vaguely felt that this situation should have something to do with her conversation with Huiyu yesterday.It seems that Huiyu already knows what she means, woman.No matter what he thinks in his heart, at least face matters must be stabilized, and it's good now.

Concubine Han, as the favorite concubine by the emperor's side, naturally had to be flattered by people, and there were countless people around her.Huiyu naturally wouldn't walk with her in front of everyone, and even took the initiative to entertain guests for her, but she never ignored Princess Hulan's eyes on her.

The concubines had a tacit understanding and no one mentioned what happened that day, as if they had never seen the dispute that day, they smiled and chatted in whispers, they were really shrewd.

After Huiyu walked around and greeted everyone, she returned to her seat and sat down. This kind of banquet has a certain process, but most of them are superficial. Who would make a crime on this occasion? Two things to come.More importantly, it still shows the appearance of harmony and friendship between Dajin and the tribes outside the Great Wall.

"The concubine is really exquisite." Hu Lan picked up the teacup in her hand and took a sip of tea, looking at Huiyu who just came back and sat down, and said with a little sarcasm.

Huiyu showed a huge and sweet smile, and looked at Hulan with the same affection as looking at a close friend, "It's really a compliment, it's not as good as the princess, I'm ashamed."

After the contest after the tent in the morning, both sides are more cautious.The two looked at each other and smiled, and then bowed their heads to drink tea again. Such a scene really made the people here full of doubts.

The highlight of today's banquet was the three princes and concubines who just arrived. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but none of the sons of these three princes were married.Concubine Han, as the highest-ranking concubine who accompanied Sheng Jia, naturally made a gesture of having an intimate conversation with the three princes and concubines, and they had a very happy conversation.Huiyu secretly looked at the three of them, especially Princess Anding, but it was the first time he met the three of them, and it was really hard to tell if they didn't have an in-depth conversation for a while.

After lunch, they sat down for a while, Concubine Han broke up the banquet, and everyone left one after another.

"We're going to race a horse. I wonder if Princess Jing is interested?"

Huiyu raised her head and looked at Princess Hulan who stopped her. She didn't know what she was up to, but she just shook her head and said, "What a coincidence, I've been unhappy for the past two days. The princess should go with someone else."

"Concubine Jing, please take care, so don't bother me." Hu Lan turned and left with a smile.

Huiyu looked at Hulan's back, lowered her head and smiled slightly, and walked towards her tent holding the girl's hand.Back in the tent, Huiyu changed out of her big clothes, and Ji Qiyu came back before she finished changing her clothes. She hurriedly tied up her skirts, and looked at him in surprise, "Why are you back at this time?" Until it gets dark.

"Tomorrow is going to hunt, the emperor told everyone to disperse and have a good rest." Ji Qiyu sat down rubbing his brows.

Xueying and Xueqi brought refreshments, and quietly retreated out.

Huiyu looked at Ji Qiyu's expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Tomorrow's hunting, you don't want to end up."

"Women's family members also want to play?" Huiyu was a little surprised. Although the women in Dajin can ride horses, they are really inferior to the women outside the Great Wall when it comes to hunting. Why did the emperor make such a decision?
Ji Qiyu nodded.

Hui Yu frowned, "What is the emperor trying to do?"

"No matter what you do, you don't want to end up, report your illness." Ji Qiyu looked serious.

"Okay, I don't intend to end either." Huiyu now, under Xing Yulang's suggestion, doesn't want to show any limelight.

Hui Yu agreed, and Ji Qiyu also breathed a sigh of relief, leaning on the soft pillow, her thoughts couldn't stop rolling for a moment.Since arriving here, what the emperor has done has been a bit confusing, and it is impossible to guess what the holy will is.Coupled with the secret conversation with the Marquis of Bei'an, Ji Qiyu had an inexplicable premonition, as if the hunt this time was much more complicated than he imagined.

The development of the matter was completely beyond Huiyu's imagination, and she could only passively accept the development of the situation in a direction she could not predict.

On the second day, early in the morning, all the tents were lit up early. Huiyu caught cold without checking for a while at night, and woke up with a stuffy nose in the morning. Now there is no need to lie, she is really sick.She watched Ji Qiyu put on her clothes, sat on the couch without getting up, and said: "Be careful yourself, the deep mountains and dense forests are dangerous, so you must bring more guards around you."

"I know, don't worry. In fact, following Yujia's siege, so many imperial guards will follow, nothing will happen, don't worry." Ji Qiyu put on her clothes, bent down to look at Huiyu, "you sleep again In a while, I will ask the imperial physician to diagnose your pulse."

Huiyu nodded, "Go quickly, don't be too late."

Ji Qiyu lowered her head and kissed Huiyu's forehead before striding out.

The holy driver hunted with great momentum. Huiyu sat in the tent and couldn't go out. She could hear the loud horn sound from a long distance, and the ground trembled with the horse's hooves. Huiyu knew that it would be very lively outside, but unfortunately she couldn't It is also a pity to go out to watch.In the past few days, I have worked hard and exhausted physically and mentally. When I dozed off for a while, I fell into a deep sleep.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that the tent was lit with lights. Huiyu sat up. Unexpectedly, she had slept for so long, so she raised her voice to call the girl in, "What time is it now, has the prince come back?"

Xueqi quickly stepped forward to help Huiyu get up, and quickly said: "If you go back to the princess, it's the last hour of the unitary hour, and none of the hunters have come back yet."

Huiyu was taken aback, "You haven't come back yet?"

Xueying came in with the clothes and waited for Huiyu to put them on, and said in a low voice: "Yes, but in the middle of the night, Concubine Han sent someone to come back to see you. Take a look and leave."

After the hot and cold water were set in the copper basin, Huiyu cleaned her face and washed her hands. Her black hair was tied behind her head with a brocade belt. It was getting dark so she didn’t bother to comb her hair in a bun. She looked up at Xueying and asked, " Did you bring a message?"

"No."

Huiyu was silent, "Send someone to take a look." She had heard that the hunt used to last until dark, but the situation is different now, and she always feels uneasy.

"Yes." Xueying immediately went outside the tent, called Qiu Maoshi to order Huiyu to go down, Qiu Maoshi nodded, and found a clever boy to send him away.

Huiyu just put the food here, and Qiu Maoshi was talking back and forth. Huiyu let him in and asked, "How is the situation?"

"If you go back to the princess, they all entered Qingling Mountain. The guards guarded for a while and couldn't find out more news. The princes haven't come out of the mountain yet. But I heard that the leader of the Wulan tribe was injured. I'm back." Qiu Maoshi bowed his head and replied.

Huiyu said, "Keep an eye on the news over there."

"Yes." Qiu Maoshi backed out.

Huiyu, on the other hand, started to eat without saying a word. She ate very fast, but she put down the bowls and chopsticks in the time of a cup of tea, and re-braided her hair with her own hands, and said to Xueqi and Xueying: Keep watch in the tent, and if someone comes looking for me, tell me I'm asleep."

The two maids greeted her quickly, Xue Qi was anxious and asked: "Princess, are you going out?" The concubine had done many bold things, so she asked this question because she was worried.

Huiyu nodded, "Find me a dark riding outfit."

Xueying quickly rummaged through the box and found a dark red one. This color can easily dissolve in the dark at night, so Huiyu got up and changed it, and told the two of them, "No matter who comes to see me, I must delay it." Hold on, I'll be back in half an hour."

The two girls didn't dare to ask why, and nodded in response, but Huiyu slipped out from the back of the tent.Palace lanterns were burning in front of the big tent, shining brightly.It was dark behind the big tent, Huiyu walked lightly, and walked quickly towards the tent at the other end of Yin and night.

On the rolling grass, there are countless tents, but there are rules about where the tents are.The tents of the princes and vassals are all on the west side of the imperial tent, while the tents of the tribes outside the Great Wall are on the east side of the imperial tent. Huiyu walked lightly and looked at the tent that was made in the east. There was only a faint light in the tent from the curtain. Reflected everywhere, she hid sideways behind the tent to avoid the patrolling guards, but felt a little dizzy, she quickly stabilized her body and took a deep breath, then raised her hand and knocked on the tent a few times.

"The honored guest is here, I'm not far away to welcome you."

"Is the leader interested in talking to me?"

"Please come in."

"It's still the leader who comes out to meet."

There was silence in the tent for a while, and Huiyu was not in a hurry. Brother Ali has always been a cautious person and should not be in a hurry.

Most of the people followed to hunt. At this time, the guards were loose, and Huiyu was hidden in the dark of the tent, so there was no danger for a while.Soon, a figure came out from behind the tent, its face could not be seen clearly in the dark night, but its tall figure and the smell of medicine blown by the wind let Huiyu know that she was looking for the right person.

Brother Ali looked at Princess Jing standing alone in the corner, facing the wind, but her posture was straight, but she didn't know why she came to him.

"I heard that the princess is unwell and didn't participate in the hunt, why did she appear here at this time?"

"The leader is impressive, and you can tell who it is even through the tent."

"It's hard to guess. Only the princess is left in this camp. Who else can there be besides you?"

Huiyu was silent for a while, because time was short, she didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "I intend to form an alliance with the leader, but I don't know if the leader has any intentions?"

Brother Ali was stunned, staring at Huiyu with those sharp eyes, and took a step forward, locking Huiyu's unclear face, as if he wanted to see the sincerity in her words.

"Princess Zhensi likes to joke, what's the alliance between you and me?" Brother Ali laughed pretending to be relaxed.

"The leader is well aware, why is there such a hypocrisy? What you want does not conflict with what I want. We should join hands to get what we want, right? Since the leader is not sincere in negotiating with me now, then I will Let's talk about it when the leader is sincere." Huiyu walked away without hesitation.

Brother Ali didn't expect Princess Jing to have such a temperament, she would leave if she disagreed with her.He grabbed her arm subconsciously, "Why is the princess in such a hurry?"

Huiyu's arms flicked and slid to avoid brother Alibu's hand, and turned to look at him, "The leader is not sincere, so let's not talk about it for now."

"Is the princess sincere? I didn't see your sincerity." Brother Ali laughed mockingly. This Princess Jing was also a little interesting. I really thought that she could say something with just a touch of her lips.

Knowing that Brother Ali is not easy to fool, Huiyu was not angry, but just smiled softly: "My sincerity is full, if the leader wants, I can help you."

If Brother Ali was not afraid of being discovered by the patrolling guards, he would have laughed wildly, "Princess Wang Hao speaks so loudly, even outside the Great Wall, no one would dare to speak like this."

"If I'm an ordinary person, of course I can't." Huiyu looked at him with a sarcastic smile and his expression remained unchanged, "The prince wants to unify the tribes outside the Great Wall, but the Wulan tribe and the Naiman tribe are powerful enemies. A covenant was reached with the leader, but Nadamud is cunning and unbelievable, and the leader should be on guard day and night when he cooperates with him."

Brother Alibu heard Huiyu's short words but suddenly pointed out the situation outside the Great Wall, his expression turned cold, and his heart suddenly became murderous.

"The princess knows a little too much."

"Smart people in the world can live longer if they know more. For example, I know that the prince is short of high-quality war horses and food, so I joined hands with the Naiman Department. The leader should know that I have my own horse farm. "Hui Yu chuckled, "So I said I am sincere, then I will just wait for news from the prince."

Brother Ali watched Huiyu's figure disappear into the night, and didn't take any action to stop her from leaving. The words of Princess Jing made him murderous, but he couldn't do anything.

He really lacked horses and food.

The old thief Hutu took advantage of the horse plague and caused him to lose thousands of horses, which forced him to join forces with Nadamud and the fox.

The sound of horseshoes could be heard faintly, Huiyu knew that the hunters had returned, so she quickened her pace and went back to the tent, changed her clothes quickly, wondering if she should tell Ji Qiyu about seeing Brother Alibu.If you tell him, he may not like to be in contact with people outside the Great Wall, I'm afraid this line will be broken.If you don't tell me...she will always feel uneasy.

The sound of horseshoes stopped in front of the tent, and Huiyu got up subconsciously to welcome him out. Halfway through, Ji Qiyu raised the curtain and strode in.Under the light, Huiyu's face was still a little pale. He held her hand and said, "Why are you up? Do you feel better?"

"It's much better. There is no serious problem. Did you gain anything from hunting today?" Huiyu asked, suppressing the anxiety in her heart.

"The weather is getting warmer, and there are a lot of prey in the mountains. I killed more than a dozen rabbits and a few foxes. It is rare that two of them are white. They will be skinned for you to make clothes for you." Ji Qiyu helped Huiyu sit down, He got up and washed his face, and said: "Third brother actually fell off his horse, it's really shameful, it's becoming more and more unseemly to be addicted to wine and sex these years."

Listening to Ji Qiyu talking about hunting, Huiyu's heart slowly settled down and listening to his evaluation and dissatisfaction with everyone, the smile on his face gradually became cheerful.

Bingying had already prepared dinner, so Huiyu asked the maids to serve it to Ji Qiyubu. After he finished eating, he told him about his secret meeting with brother Alibu.

Ji Qiyu looked at Huiyu, the smile on her face gradually faded, and she just looked at her like this for a while without speaking.

Huiyu was a little nervous, but the matter had come to this point, she didn't plan to back down, she looked into his eyes and said, "I'd rather be the one holding the knife than being the meat on the cutting board. Qi Yu, we No choice."

"Why didn't you discuss it with me first?" Ji Qiyu couldn't tell what she was feeling at the moment, she just felt depressed and sad.

"You won't agree. You value the country more than anything else, so why would you agree to cooperate with foreigners?"

"Since you know it, you still do it?"

"In front of the huge imperial power, I am as small as an ant. The emperor only needs to lift his finger to crush me. Since the emperor is so free to manipulate your family and my family, the only thing I can do is to give him some Trouble, let him not have this time." Huiyu's voice became lower and lower, with a touch of desolation that she couldn't even perceive, since she came to this time and space, it seems that disasters always outnumber happiness, and she wants to live an easy life Why is it so difficult to live happily.Don't look at Ji Qiyu with a cold and heartless face, but he has always been a person who insists on himself.

Now that Huiyu has touched this bottom line, she doesn't know how he will treat her. She has no idea, but she will not compromise.
