The next day, hunting was still the same.
Generally speaking, the emperor would leave the stage in the first three rounds, and after that it would be the ministers' turn to have fun.
Ye Jun was too lazy to move today, but even though he wasn't riding a horse, he wanted to walk around, so he took his servants and guards and went to a place with fewer people.
"The sky is vast and the fields are boundless. The wind blows the grass low and you can see cattle and sheep. The scenery on the grassland is really beautiful."
Ye Jun smiled and took a deep breath. This was a kind of comfort that he would never have in the future.
“I also feel more relaxed outside the palace.” Nan Zhi also smiled.
"Yeah, if given a choice, who would want to stay within those square palace walls all their life." Ye Jun narrowed his eyes and gently kicked the grass at his feet.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from behind.
Turning back, I saw the newly appointed Princess Yunrong riding towards me on a maroon horse.
Dolan rolled off his horse with great grace.
"Greetings to Concubine Ming."
"No need to be so polite. Why is the princess here?" Ye Jun waved his hand.
Duolan stood up and smiled. "The men were competing in horseback hunting. It was not convenient for a woman like me to blend in with them, so I had to go alone. I happened to see Jieyu here, so I came over."
After saying that, he looked at Ye Jun twice.
Today Ye Jun wore a goose yellow Yanluo Guangxian skirt, with a small blouse of the same color with white edges on the outside. She had her hair in a Yuanbao bun, wore a purple agate butterfly hairpin, and a few small hairpins made of pearls and velvet flowers. On her ears were a pair of teardrop-shaped white jade pendants of excellent quality. She looked fresh and cute.
Especially the pair of jade hands folded in front of her, with nail polish on the fingertips, making her skin look even more white and delicate.
Such a porcelain doll-like person should be pampered.
Even though he felt uncomfortable because he lost the competition yesterday, Dolan still couldn't help thinking so.
Originally, the most beautiful girl on the grassland should be Sudiya, but now it seems that Sudiya is still a little inferior to this Ming Jieyu.
"Why are you staring at me, Princess? Is there anything wrong with that?"
Ye Jun raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke to bring Duolan back to his senses.
"Ah, no, no, no, I just think that Jieyu is really beautiful." Dolan blushed a little.
Ye Jun burst out laughing after hearing this.
"The princess is so cute. She is also beautiful, heroic, bright and moving."
No matter what will happen after she enters the palace in the future, Ye Jun still feels okay with this princess for now.
How should I put it? This person has clear eyes and doesn't look like someone with deep thoughts.
"Thank you for the compliment, Concubine." Duolan bowed in an awkward manner using the Central Plains etiquette.
Ye Jun curled his lips, "I heard that the princess speaks the Central Plains dialect well, and so do the princes. Did you all learn it in elementary school?"
"Yes, we hired a master to teach us these things since we were young. We know a little bit about the Central Plains dialect and Central Plains etiquette, but we don't use them very often and are not very proficient in them." Dolan was a little unfamiliar.
Ye Jun looked at her deeply and suddenly asked, "Does the princess really want to enter the palace to serve the emperor?"
This question was so sudden that it made people stunned.
"Why do you ask such a question, Concubine Ming? I have not even discussed marriage yet, so I cannot say such a thing."
Dolan's voice became noticeably tense and more defensive.
Even though she and her brother had the same idea, they couldn't say it out loud. After all, things hadn't been finalized yet, and if she said it out loud, people would think she was frivolous.
People in the Central Plains have always attached the most importance to reputation. If she wants to enter the palace, she has to pay more attention to this.
In fact, Duolan has begun to suspect that Ye Jun did it on purpose and wanted to get her to talk.
"Princess, don't be nervous. The emperor has told me everything that should and shouldn't be said. If nothing unexpected happens, the princess will definitely enter the palace. I'm just curious, does an eagle that has soared over the grassland really want to be a canary in a square cage?"
Ye Jun narrowed her eyes. These were the questions she really wanted to ask suddenly, but whether to answer or not was entirely up to Dolan.
She had no choice, but Dolan did not necessarily have to enter the palace.
There is no place where Zasak can't pick a girl. Aoqi can't have only one sister.
To be honest, Ye Jun couldn't understand why someone would trick his own sister.
"The grassland raised the eagle, and the eagle should repay it with his whole life. There is no such thing as willingness or unwillingness. Born in such a family, how many people can do whatever they want?" Duolan smiled bitterly and turned to look at her. "Since Concubine Ming asked this question, I guess she didn't enter the palace voluntarily."
"The late emperor has granted me an imperial decree to marry you. I guess the emperor and I are destined to be together."
Ye Jun did not answer her question directly, but just said this ambiguously.
"Since you have chosen this path, whether you are happy or unhappy, it is also a day. The princess is a girl from the grassland, so she should know how to live freely better than me."
"Tsk, I'm really not used to the wind on the grassland. It hurts my face. Princess, are you going hunting? I'll go back first. Excuse me."
Dolan watched her walk away, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Now it seems that this Ming Concubine is truly free and easy.
"Why did Jieyu talk so much to Princess Yunrong?" Nan Zhi asked in confusion.
"First, we can establish a good relationship with her. After all, she is the princess of Zasak. She cannot be underestimated once she enters the palace. Secondly, what if she is persuaded not to enter the palace? It would be a big difference if the person sent to the palace is Prince Aoqi's biological sister." Ye Jun said lightly.
However, she also had some other thoughts.
It's such a pity that such a lively and smart girl would become stagnant after entering the palace.
When she returned, she saw Ning Chen had already returned and came forward to greet her with a smile.
"Where are you going?" Ning Chen asked with a smile.
Ye Jun said honestly, "I couldn't sit still, so I just walked around, but there were grasses everywhere, and after walking around for a long time, there was no novelty and I got a little bored."
"I don't know you yet. I'm afraid you didn't walk far. You're just too lazy." Ning Chen looked disdainful, but he stood up. "I don't like hunting either, but I saw a river in the south. The scenery is nice. I'll take you there."
"How long have you been riding? I'm tired. My waist and legs are so sore and I have no strength left. Let's just forget it." Ye Jun was acting like a rogue.
She really didn't want to move. She just came back from a walk and wanted to sit down and rest.
"You are the most delicate one. Come, join me."
Ning Chen walked down, took Ye Jun's hand and walked to the horse, climbed onto the horse, and reached out to the girl standing below.
Ye Jun raised his eyebrows. They were riding on the same horse.
When she extended her hand, the man pulled her up and asked her to sit sideways in front of him.
Ye Jun was not sitting steadily and his body swayed. He couldn't help but reach out and grab Ning Chen's clothes and leaned close to him.
"Hold on tight. I won't take care of you if you fall down." Ning Chen said calmly, but a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Just like that, in front of everyone, Ye Jun was taken away by the emperor, which aroused enough hatred.
Sudiya was also sitting here, watching the two people going away, her heart and eyes filled with envy.
It would be great if she was the one riding a horse with the emperor.
Han gently patted her daughter's hand and whispered, "Don't worry, mother has already made all the arrangements. What is yours, no one can take it away."
