Riding the Pheonix Chapter 273: Hunting Ground

Chapter error, click here to report

There has been no autumn hunting in ten years, and the prey in the hunting grounds in the western suburbs are plentiful and fat. ()

Ming Wei saw with her own eyes a fat and oily rabbit running past, not afraid of people at all.

She nodded. In the current Northern Qi Dynasty, the administration of officials is quite clear. A place like the royal hunting ground cannot be entered by idlers, and the current emperor does not like hunting. If it has been empty for ten years, it will not be difficult for the management officials to leak some money.

Looking at the prey running all over the mountain, it seems that the officials here are not lining their pockets.

The emperor was also very happy now.

Of course it was not his turn to set up camp. When he arrived at the place, he took the imperial concubine and concubine Hui out to see the scenery.

What Ming Wei could see, of course he could also see it, so he smiled and said to the two concubines: "Okay! The hunting ground is well maintained and deserves a reward!"

Concubine Pei pursed her lips and smiled: "There are so many prey, Your Majesty, do you want to kill them yourself?"

The emperor laughed, waved his hand and said: "I have never practiced martial arts. I can shoot a target standing up. How can I hold a bow while riding a horse? I can't compare with several royal brothers."

After saying this, even he himself was startled.

The royal brothers, of course, refer to the prince Sihuai.

The emperor was born late, and they are all more than ten years older than him. I remember that when I was young, the imperial brothers were in high spirits. They were all capable of fighting when they mounted their horses, and they were able to manage politics when they dismounted. He was extremely envious in his heart. He felt that as a younger brother, he was far inferior to his elder brother. The courtiers also felt that if Emperor Taizu's son was born well, Northern Qi would be able to dominate the country sooner or later.

Who would have thought that these outstanding princes would end up like this in one fell swoop?

The emperor knew that he was not as good as his elder brothers, so he rarely mentioned it after he ascended the throne. Because every time he thinks about it, he always feels that he got the throne by luck, and even feels that he is not orthodox.

At this moment, I said it quickly, and something strange happened in my heart. I thought to myself, if that incident had not happened back then, it would have been the eldest brother who was leading the ministers hunting in autumn, right? It has been eighteen years. If the eldest brother had been in office, he might have unified Nanchu by now and would be praised by thousands of people.

Seeing his expression, Concubine Pei thought for a moment and said with a smile: "What's the problem? The hunting ground is His Majesty's hunting ground, and the ministers are His Majesty's ministers. Their prey is naturally His Majesty's prey. You are the emperor, why should you? Are you going to end up on your own? If you want prey, your ministers will naturally come to you."

The emperor felt better after hearing this. Looking at the imperial concubine, he smiled and said, "When did my beloved concubine become so glib? This flattery makes me feel so comfortable."

The imperial concubine pursed her lips and smiled: "How can I be flattering you? I'm just lazy. I don't have to do anything myself, and someone will take care of it. Isn't it refreshing? Speaking of which, what's for dinner? Sister Hui Fei, what do you think? Do you want something to eat?"

Concubine Hui was standing on the other side. She was an old man from Qiandi, only slightly younger than the emperor. Although she was well-maintained, she could already tell her age. In addition, her appearance was not particularly outstanding. Standing in front of Concubine Pei, she seemed to be a generation older than her and dwarfed by her.

She smiled honestly and said: "I just saw a rabbit running past, and I really want to eat roast rabbit meat. Mei Da from the imperial dining room makes good rabbit meat, so I just asked him to roast it. Eat."

Concubine Pei said: "My sister said that, I'm also greedy. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

The emperor smiled and said, "Then just listen to Concubine Hui." He also called Wan Dabao, "Ask someone to hunt rabbits, and any other game. Any good ones will be brought. There will be no birthday banquet for Concubine Hui's birthday. It's really I have wronged her. You should serve her well. If you are negligent, I will not forgive you!"

Wan Dabao responded repeatedly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will choose it myself."

With that said, Wan Dabao left.

As he walked, he thought, Your Majesty feels sorry for Concubine Hui! It was Concubine Hui who knew how to be a good person. People said that it was Concubine Hui who wanted to go out on her own, so she changed the birthday banquet to an autumn hunting companion. In fact, it was the imperial concubine who wanted to come out. She also thought that Xuanduguan had already come out once before, so she was too embarrassed to speak and told her to find out, so she just made a favor.

Others don't know, they only know that the emperor respects Concubine Hui, but the emperor and the concubine know it in their hearts. Once this happens, I will definitely miss her.

Speaking of which, His Majesty is an infatuated person. Not long after he ascended the throne, when the imperial concubine entered the palace, he doted on her wholeheartedly. It’s not that there haven’t been beauties entering the palace in recent years, but which one has stood out? Concubine Hui, on the other hand, although she is not young and looks ordinary, she was successfully promoted to the concubine position and her position has been stable over the years.

This is certainly because she gave birth to the second prince, but it is definitely not just because she gave birth to the second prince.

……

After dinner, it was getting dark.

Autumn hunting always has several days, and nothing can be done on this first day.

Everyone was fresh and went for a walk around after dinner to enjoy the rare wilderness scenery.

Mingwei also takes Duofu for a walk to eat.

She had only left the camp for a short while when a young master walked over from the opposite side.

Mingwei didn't pay attention, and didn't recognize him until he came closer.

"How did you know I was here?"

The person coming is Yang Shu.

There was a smile on his face unconsciously, and his voice was much gentler than before: "I'll know it as soon as you come out."

This means that he has been sending people to keep an eye on him?

Mingwei wanted to laugh but also wanted to sigh.

The young man is so dedicated and frighteningly dedicated.

He called out: "Blessed, Ah Wan is looking for you."

Duofu was staring at the tips of his shoes and was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

"What does Miss Ah Wan want from me?" She and Ah Wan don't get along at all, okay?

Yang Shu looked upright: "How do I know about your girl's family? She is in my tent. You can find out if you go there." Then he told the location of the tent.

Duofu looked at Mingwei, saw her nodding, said "oh" and went back to the camp to find Ah Wan.

Mingwei looked at Duofu's leaving figure and shook her head: "Why did you send her away?"

Yang Shu said confidently: "We are together, what do you want her to do?"

"..." Mingwei asked, "Then what do you want to do now that she is gone?"

As he said this, his face slowly turned red again. Fortunately, it was dark and I couldn't see clearly.

"Ahem." He cleared his throat, "It's a walk~IndoMTL.com~come with me!"

Mingwei has nothing to do but: "Okay."

The two walked for a while, and she felt something was wrong: "Where are you going?"

Looking at him like this, it seems that he deliberately chose a remote place.

Yang Shu pretended that nothing happened: "Just take a walk!"

Ming Wei pointed: "If you go over there, you will enter the forest. The Forbidden Army warned you not to go beyond the sentries they set up, otherwise you will be in danger."

Yang Shu said: "That's because they are afraid that something will happen to those who are powerless. Can I be the same?" After thinking about it, he added, "You are different too!"

That makes so much sense!

Mingwei wanted to laugh: "Then what do you want to do when you enter the forest?"

"..." Yang Shu whispered, "We are together!"

Actually, he doesn’t know what he wants to do? I just feel like I want to avoid others.
