concubines are respected

Chapter 114 Palace Hunting
During the autumn solstice, according to the usual practice, the emperor brought his favored concubines in the harem, as well as the prince's close ministers, to hunt in the Boyuan Palace.

The Empress Dowager was born in the general family, although her physical strength is not as good as before, but she is thinking about the beautiful scenery of Boyuan's red maple forest, and she walks smoothly.Suxian is deeply loved by the queen mother, so she naturally waits on her and goes with her.

The official road to Boyuan is wide and flat, with beautiful scenery along the road. Suxian was allowed by the Empress Dowager to ride in the phoenix chariot together.

I don't know how long they walked, Suxian and the palace maid Cuizhu leaned on the soft stool under the Empress Dowager's seat, and dozed off drowsily as the chariot swayed.The queen mother also closed her eyes slightly, her breathing was even and long, and she seemed to be sleeping very soundly.

At this time, the motorcade stopped beside the official road, Cuizhu opened her eyes vigilantly, got up and opened the colorful phoenix brocade curtain on the phoenix chariot to look out.

A young eunuch rushed from the front of the team.

"Little button, why did you stop?" Cui Zhu asked.

"Reporting to Auntie, there was a lot of autumn rain last night. The branches beside the official road were broken and blocked the road. The emperor ordered people to clear the road as soon as possible, and it might take an hour." Little Button saluted the green bamboo and replied respectfully. Said, "The emperor ordered that everyone must be bored due to the bumpy journey. There is a river beach next to the road, and the scenery is very good. Masters, you can get out of the chariot and walk around to stretch your muscles and bones."

"Understood." Cui Zhu poked his head out and looked forward, and sure enough, he saw a wide river beach on the right side of the road, green grass stretched beside the river beach, and the river surface was sparkling, and the view was so beautiful.

The Empress Dowager also woke up at this time, she probably heard the little button's reply, and said to Cui Zhu, "Take a rest, Ai's family will also go down to get some air."

Suxian and Cuizhu supported the Empress Dowager from left to right, and walked slowly to the river beach.

In front of the team, the emperor and several princes supervised the accompanying palace people to clean up the road. From a distance, they couldn't tell who was who, only a few men in brocade suits were vaguely seen discussing something.

The river wind blew past, and there was a chill, "Queen Mother, it's windy here, it would be nice for Suxian to fetch you a brocade cloak." Suxian said with concern, worried that the Queen Mother would catch the cold.

"Well, when the little girl said it, the Ai family really felt a bit chilled." The queen mother subconsciously shrugged her shoulders and said softly.

Suxian trotted all the way to the Feng chariot not far away.Soon, he took out the brocade embroidered shawl from the chariot, turned around and ran back.

At this moment, there was a rush of hoofbeats behind her. Suxian turned around and saw a man in a green shirt on the tall handsome horse, galloping towards him vigorously, with deep eyes, The handsome five views, every move is so familiar, who is it not An Nanhou - Murong Haotian?
He's here too?Suxian thought to herself, with a slight smile on her lips unconsciously.

Murong Haotian obviously also saw Suxian who was holding a shawl by the roadside, the luster in his eyes suddenly softened a lot, he pulled the rein subconsciously to stop the horse from talking, but there was an extremely inappropriate cheer from not far ahead, "Brother Murong , you finally caught up..."

The sixth princess, Nangong Zitong, who was wearing an orange brocade skirt and a cross bun, ran over laughing.

The smile on the corners of Suxian's lips was slightly restrained, she nodded slightly to Murong Haotian, then turned around and ran towards the river beach with big strides.

"Brother Murong, you've come in a hurry. Zi Tong is really worried that you won't catch up with the imperial chariot." The sixth princess ran to Murong Haotian's horse as she spoke, and saw the perfunctory response in his mouth, but his eyes followed him. The beautiful figure on the river beach ahead moved.

The Sixth Princess frowned slightly, and Vermilion's lips pursed in dissatisfaction. She turned around and shouted to the little eunuch who was following behind her, "Little Baizi, get down!"

Xiao Baizi was taken aback for a moment, and then glanced at Murong Haotian who was sitting high on the horse's back, looking into the distance, and immediately understood what the master meant, and immediately bowed obediently in front of the horse.

I saw the sixth princess stepping on Xiaobaizi's back very familiarly, using his back as a pedal, her skirt fluttering, leaping onto the horse's back and quickly slipping into Murong Haotian's arms, leaning against his solid chest coquettishly, sweetly He smiled and said, "Brother Murong, the official road ahead is blocked, why don't you take Zitong to the river beach."

"Princess Six, this...is not in line with etiquette!" The bold move of the Sixth Princess made Murong Haotian quite embarrassed. Although she used to ride the horse with the Sixth Princess like this when she was young, but now she has grown into a slim figure. Girl, and at the age of leaving the court, she should strictly abide by the defense of men and women.

"What's the difference? Last year when you hunted, you rode the same horse with Zitong, so how can you not get along this year?" Zitong yelled dissatisfied.

"Last year was different. Last year, Sixth Princess, you suffered a leg injury, and Haotian was forced to use his talents..." Before the words finished, the Sixth Princess behind her impatiently pinched the horse's belly with her legs, and said crisply, "drive!"

The horse neighed, and galloped towards the river beach. With Murong Haotian's skill, it was easy to jump off, but because the sixth princess was leaning on his chest, if the sixth princess got off the horse rashly, once the sixth princess Losing strength, what should I do if I fell off the horse, but in desperation, I had no choice but to hold the rein tightly and let the horse gallop away.

The queen mother by the river beach heard the laughter of the sixth princess from afar, looked up, shook her head with a worried expression, and said, "Tong'er is not young anymore, how can he act so casually, in broad daylight, with men How decent is it to ride on a horse!"

Cuizhu, who was serving beside her, said comfortingly, "Queen Mother, please calm down. Concubine Rou was originally a princess of the Yiluo Kingdom. The Yiluo people have always been independent of men and women. The sixth princess was sent to live in the Yiluo Kingdom since she was a child until she was eight years old. It was only after returning to the Da'an Dynasty. Naturally, the Yiluo people developed a bold and unrestrained temperament, and even the emperor allowed the sixth princess to continue to retain the original straightforward temperament. At this time, riding with people on horses is nothing."

Hearing the words, Suxian thought to herself, it turns out that the sixth princess is the daughter of Concubine Rou, who grew up in Yiluo country. No wonder she bluntly declared that she would marry Murong Haotian that day. , Outspoken and courageous, it is the most embarrassing and unspeakable life event of the daughter's family, which is blatantly mentioned.

The Queen Mother heard the words, thought for a while, her expression slowed down a little, looked at a pair of bi men on horseback in the distance, and murmured, "Fortunately, Zitong's temperament is extremely unruly, but she only clings to Marquis Anyuan. I disdain other men, haha, thinking about it this way, maybe a good thing is coming soon..."

Cuizhu smiled lightly, but didn't notice that Suxian's eyes were much lighter...
Walking by the river beach for a while, the Empress Dowager felt a little tired, and with the support of green bamboos, she went back to the phoenix chariot.

Not long after, the branches lying on the road were also cleared away by the palace servants.The team continued to advance to Boyuan.

The Empress Dowager didn't feel sleepy anymore, she and Cui Ya continued to talk about the Sixth Princess and Marquis Annan one after another.

Suxian's expression became more and more lonely, and she didn't participate in it, and the good mood of seeing the beautiful scenery of Boyuan faded a lot.

Suxian's silence finally caught Cuizhu's attention, her mind moved, as if she remembered something, whispered in the Queen Mother's ear, and the Queen Mother smiled and looked at Suxian as if she had just woken up from a dream.

"Xian girl, why do you become so depressed at this moment? Could it be that something is on your mind?" The queen mother said to Su Xian lovingly.

"Oh, Queen Mother, Suxian has nothing on her mind." Suxian calmed down a little and replied respectfully.

"Hehe." The queen mother thought for a while, and laughed loudly, "You girl, you still hide it from Aijia. Aijia remembered that you and Annanhou had a marriage contract, but because of Aijia's words just now, you just fell in love with me." Depressed?"
