Riding the Pheonix Chapter 276: First day
After scolding Wen Ru, Wen Ying glared at their cousins and left.
Ming Wei and Ji Ling looked at each other, both of them looking confused.
Ji Ling asked: "Cousin, is this your classmate in college?"
Mingwei nodded: "Miss Wen San from Chengenhou Mansion."
"Oh..." Ji Ling understood.
Mingwei was surprised: "Cousin, you seem to know the inside story?"
Ji Ling smiled and said: "There are many children of senior officials in the Imperial College, so there is always some gossip."
He paused and said: "The Wen family wants to continue to marry the royal family. Unfortunately, the prince has no intention of doing so. She should be angry at you."
Mingwei nodded and said: "Cousin, you just scolded her like that, I'm afraid she will mark it in her heart."
Ji Ling said disdainfully: "Even if she is Miss Cheng'enhou, what can she do to me? I am a serious civil servant and a supervisor of the Imperial College. No matter how powerful the Cheng'enhou Palace is, he can't even reach the academy."
Ming smiled. Also, although Ji Ling does not have an official position, he is highly appreciated by several great scholars. He may be named on the gold list next year, so he really doesn't have to worry about a relative.
Ji Ling added: "The Wen family wants her to be the crown princess, so I'm afraid there will be more trouble this time. Cousin, please stay away, don't let her get involved."
Mingwei responded. I thought that my cousin had many connections and was knowledgeable about the current situation. Maybe I could ask him for advice? Then he asked: "Cousin, in your opinion, is this a charter?"
"Who do you want to ask for?"
Mingwei joked: "I'm afraid of offending the future princess."
Ji Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Wen San will never be the crown princess."
"How to say it?"
“Let’s talk about the prince himself first. The Wen family is originally his maternal ancestral family, and they will always stand by him whether they win over him or not, and the power of the Wen family is not so powerful that he needs to marry again to consolidate it. As for the courtiers and Your Majesty, I am afraid that the prince’s mother’s clan and his wife’s clan are the same family, and it will be difficult to control them in the future.”
Mingwei thought thoughtfully: "Then cousin, who do you think is most likely?"
Ji Ling looked around and lowered his voice: "I see, the Holy One wants to choose Miss Pei."
Mingwei was surprised.
Ji Ling said: "The Pei family is a famous family, which is helpful to the prince. Moreover, there is almost no possibility of Concubine Pei becoming a queen. I choose Miss Pei to avoid..."
Mingwei understands. To prevent Concubine Pei from being bullied in the future.
"But the prince probably doesn't like the Pei family. He is most satisfied with the Lu family." Ji Ling smiled, "But it's hard to say what the Lu family thinks. In short, just wait for the result. No matter how much we say, It’s unknown what changes will happen by then.”
Ming Wei said yes.
It was getting late. The cousins chatted for a while and then planned to go back to the camp to rest.
Ji Ling raised the curtain, thought for a moment and then turned around and said: "Cousin, if you have a chance, you can remind Young Master Yang that if you can escape, you should escape as soon as possible. The more beautiful you are now, the more you will be in the future..."
He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Mingwei had already understood it.
The prince has such a petty temperament, what good will he do after he ascends the throne? For him, he either leaves everything behind and runs away, or...
Mingwei entered the camp, and after a while, Duofu came back.
She was extremely angry: "Miss, I never want to talk to Miss Awan again!"
Mingwei was surprised: "What happened to her?"
"Anyway, I'm very angry talking to her!"
Looking at her angry look, Mingwei smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I will ignore her from now on."
The master and servant freshened up and went to bed without mentioning it.
When Mingwei woke up the next day, it was still dark.
Duofu had already woken up and was practicing. He saw her raising the curtain and came over quickly: "Miss, do you want breakfast?"
Mingwei waved his hand: "I will eat with my uncle and cousin later, you continue."
Seeing that she was interested in taking the exam, Duofu went back to practice seriously.
Mingwei watched for a while and suddenly heard the sound of a horse neighing from behind.
She turned around and saw Ah Wan walking over leading the horse.
"Long time no see." Mingwei greeted.
Ah Wan snorted, her mouth pouted so much that a bottle could hang on it, and she reluctantly said: "Here, here you go!"
Mingwei took the reins thrown by her: "Huh?"
"For you!"
Mingwei looked at the snow-white horse and understood.
Yang Shu must have asked her to send it. No wonder Awan was unhappy.
"Jade lion shining at night?" Mingwei asked.
Ah Wan crossed her arms across her chest: "Yes!" She tilted her eyes a little, "It has a very strong temper and won't let others ride it. But aren't you very powerful? It must be different, right?"
Ming smiled and reached out to touch the white horse, as if he didn't understand the sarcasm in Awan's words.
A-wan just stared at her hand and saw the white horse raising its head due to her approach, its hooves tapping the ground uneasily, and she couldn't help but smile.
Mingwei's hand finally attached to Baima's head.
"咴咴!" The white horse raised its head and neighed, then lowered its head and rubbed it gently under Mingwei's palm.
Awan’s smile froze at the corner of her mouth.
Mingwei didn't say anything, but Duofu couldn't help but laugh: "Want to see a joke? Don't even look at who my young lady is!"
Awan bit her lip, glared at her with resentment and anger, then twisted away.
Duofu rarely won a fight, so he smiled proudly: "I still want to fight with the lady, huh!"
Ming smiled and combed the hair on the white horse's neck. This horse is Yang Shu's mount. It is said that it is an exotic species specially found for him by the old Marquis. It is of astonishing value. There is only one such horse in the entire capital.
Such a precious horse has a different meaning. He never lets others ride it, and no one else can ride it.
Ming Wei just used a little trick to temporarily appease him with magic.
Anyway, Awan wanted to see a joke, but she was destined not to see it.
It’s getting brighter now, and the campground is filled with the smell of food.
Master Ji and Ji Ling also got up.
"Morning! Cousin."
"Good morning, cousin."
Ji Ling looked at the horse, pinched his chin, said nothing, and went to get the food.
After breakfast, each family polished their bows and polished their arrows. Those who could hunt prepared to go hunting by themselves, while those who couldn't went to accompany them.
Mingwei saw that many wealthy ladies came out of various camps. ~IndoMTL.com~ Some of them are wearing riding attire and look heroic, while some are still wearing skirts and have slim figures.
Everyone gathered in the king's tent.
The emperor came out. He also wore soft armor today, and he looked a little more heroic.
Everyone praised him in unison.
The emperor called Pingshen with a smile and said: "I am a martial artist in the Qi Dynasty. When Emperor Taizu was here, both the Southern Chu and the Hu people were frightened by the news. I am not good at bow and horse, but I have all the ministers, I believe you will not let me down. Right?"
All the ministers responded respectfully.
The emperor raised his hand and pressed: "Today's autumn hunting is to strengthen the troops and strengthen the horses, and not forget the ancestral teachings. Anyone who performs outstandingly in the autumn hunting will be given a heavy reward. No matter who the son is, whether he has an official rank or not, You can show it to your heart’s content.”
Subsequently various rewards and punishments were announced.
This means that if you perform well, you may be awarded an officer, and the atmosphere in the venue became lively. ()
