The Noble Consort’s Pet Empress

Chapter 74: ⑦④Autumn hunting

Views:

Autumn hunting is actually a very fun thing.

The premise is that there is no need to stay in the tent because of pregnancy.

The imperial concubine watched His Majesty chase and shoot the deer with a cold face, and then gave an order, announcing the start of the autumn hunting. Then he happily went into the forest with civil servants and generals, even the young master and some young girls who were good at riding and shooting, but he was left alone, stared at by two nuns, not allowed to walk around.

Horseback riding? dream.

Qingxi was the youngest of the entourage, and followed Qixue to hunt hares around the periphery.

Concubine Shen Gui watched for a while, but still felt bored. There are always a group of ladies around to brush their faces, which annoys her very much.

The imperial concubine was upset, she flung her sleeves and left, and went back to her tent. Say directly that you are tired and need to sleep for a while.

The palace people each withdrew from the inner room and stood guard in the outer lobby or outside the door. Man Xing and Que Ri guarded the door of the inner room, preventing people from entering, so as to make it easier for the imperial concubine to escape.

The imperial concubine quietly went out through the window, and after running into the forest, she quickly took off her coat and fake stomach, stuffed them into the system backpack, revealing her full body clothes. Then put on Mingjiao's robe and pull down the hood.

Once Mingjiao disciples entered a place suitable for hiding, basically no one could find them.

Shen Yuqing took out a pair of knives and pinned them to her waist, kicked the ground with her toes, performed lightness kung fu, and quickly disappeared in place.

The Royal Hunting Ground is located near the mountains behind the palace. People go hunting in the mountains, but there is a special area that cannot be crossed. The officials in charge of the hunting ground had already dealt with the large ferocious beasts that accidentally entered the enclosed area before that, so as to prevent the nobles from being injured.

Shen Guifei bypassed several places where there were voices, and went deep into the forest without meeting them.

Soon, the surroundings became so quiet that only the sound of insects and blades of grass rubbing against each other remained.

Shen Yuqing squatted on the tree, listening to these sounds quietly, distinguishing the sounds of animals moving. The sound was mixed with the sound of leaves blown by the north wind, and the sound of rattling was complicated and noisy, making it difficult for people to detect the sound of action.

Suddenly, Shen Yuqing made a move and quickly caught a snake that was about to crawl past her.

Being caught by seven inches, the snake struggled to twist twice before it calmed down.

Shen Yuqing weighed it down, the portion was too small, it was a bit reluctant to eat the snake soup. And her daughter-in-law was afraid that she didn't like snakes, so she just threw them on the ground.

Freed, the little snake quickly got into the grass and disappeared in a flash.

"Meow!" A little fluffy head popped out of the imperial concubine's chest.

The fur ball, which is not as big as a palm, is already petite, and its visual size depends more on the fluffy fur. After the fur was squeezed so that it stuck to the skin, the cub retracted effortlessly into Shen Yuqing's chest, just today the imperial concubine was wearing a looser blouse.

The adult pushed the meatballs on both sides to buy more space for himself, and then sat there contentedly looking outside, very happy.

Shen Yuqing felt itchy in her chest, reached out her hand and patted its hairy head: "Be quiet."

"Meow!"

I don't know if Fuqiu understands it well.

"This fruit tastes good." Shen Yuqing casually picked a red fruit from the tree, and took a bite, not afraid of being poisonous.

After eating one, I carefully felt the situation in the body. I didn't notice that the toxin entered the body and was dissolved, probably it was really not poisonous. So she happily picked all the fruits on the tree and stuffed them into the system package, occupying only one grid.

She was very efficient and finished picking the fruit in a quarter of an hour. Then he threw a fruit core at the small animal he had just discovered, and with a bang, he was stunned.

The gray-haired hare fell to the ground and kicked its legs. It wasn't dead yet, but it was probably suspected that the rabbit was alive.

It wasn't until the "enemy" slowly walked over and picked it up by its ears that it died and died without a sound.

Shen Yuqing weighed it twice as usual, and felt that the meat was quite enough. The animals have been working hard to gain weight and hoard food recently, so they are fat and strong, which is enough for a meal.

Satisfied, Shen Yuqing brought the rabbit to the side of the creek. On the way, she killed a few pheasants and hares, brought them together and disposed of them with the stream water. There was also a Pao Ding knife in the backpack, which was used repeatedly to remove the complete rabbit skin, and then separated the rabbit from the flesh. The bones were buried on the spot, and the meat was thrown into the backpack.

It is a bit troublesome to handle the chicken, and it needs to be scalded with boiling water. But of course there is no boiling water here, even if Shen Yuqing can use Riling's internal energy to heat the water to boil, she does not have a pot to hold it.

I can only give up and throw it into the backpack casually, it can be superimposed anyway.

At noon, most of the people would not go back. They casually experienced the taste of barbecue in the mountains, and then went back to eat a big meal in the evening. Of course Concubine Shen cannot do this, she wants to accompany her daughter-in-law.

However, I haven't caught the gift for my daughter-in-law, so it's not good to go back like this. Shen Yuqing looked at the sky and decided to stay a little longer.

Hard work pays off, she ran into a female fox running home with prey in its mouth.

Such a big one, with snow-white fur, is enough to make a scarf.

The imperial concubine quickly shot and killed the fox. By the way, it collected its prey, a pheasant, and then found its nest nearby, and took out a fox cub from it. It is also snow-white fur, and the eyes are moist, very cute.

Shen Yuqing stared at it for a long time, wondering if his wife liked this fox cub. After thinking about it, I temporarily threw it into the space of the pet system, and then returned to the camp.

The empress was already waiting in the inner room, seeing Shen Yuqing come back dressed like this, the corners of her mouth twitched.

"Going out this afternoon?" she asked.

Seeing that Shen Yuqing didn't intend to change clothes and wear a fake belly, she knew what she was going to do.

Shen Yuqing rubbed her arms around her waist and smiled, "I'll take you to the mountains this afternoon."

Fu Qiushui raised his eyebrows and nodded, "That's fine."

She hadn't hunted before, and the Fu family had never taught riding and archery. Although she had participated in autumn hunting several times after entering the palace, she had always followed her to dawdle, and had never been in the mountains.

Seeing Shen Yuqing with one hand behind her back, she asked curiously, "What happened to your hand?"

Before waiting for an answer, a thin bark came from behind Concubine Shen, sharp and tender, a bit like a puppy who hasn't learned how to bark.

"You caught a dog and brought it back?" the Queen Empress became interested.

"Eh..." Shen Guifei slowly showed the fox cub in her hand, "It's a fox."

"Such a small one." Fu Qiushui smiled, and poked its soft chin with his hand.

The imperial concubine watched eagerly, and took the opportunity to interject: "For you."

Just as Fu Qiushui was about to say something, a cub suddenly jumped out from Shen Yuqing's neckline, stretched out its paw, and slapped the cub to the side, meowing in dissatisfaction.

The queen reluctantly took the kitten over to comfort her: "Okay, okay, don't raise it, adults are enough."

Only then did the lord flick his tail in satisfaction, licked the corner of his mouth to indicate that I was hungry, and quickly brought up the dried fish.

Shen Guifei hugged the forgotten fox cub desolately, and sighed helplessly. Forget it, put it aside and let Man Xing take care of it.

The lunch dishes were made with the pheasants and hares hunted by the imperial concubine, and she brought the cook, so naturally she would not foolishly ask where the pheasants and hares came from. Take the ingredients and cook a table of dishes, each plate is a little bit. Taste it one by one, and you will be full.

The remaining meat imperial concubine asked them to improve the food, anyway, she couldn't finish it. So the palace people also took it orally, and they could have a game.

In the afternoon, Shen Yuqing left the adults to play with the fox cubs, and went out for a stroll with her daughter-in-law in her arms.

This time I went back to the other side of the mountain and saw many small animals.

Because of the inconvenience, Shen Yuqing didn't hunt much. He only took Fu Qiushui to observe different small animals up close, satisfying the curiosity of the other party.

In the end, I caught a small black mink, and basically threw it in the house and couldn't find it at night. However, a pair of dark eyes are piercing, but hidden in the black fur, it is difficult to be found.

"It's such a lump." Fu Qiushui frowned, "It's easy to step on it at night."

Concubine Shen didn't care much: "Leave it to my subordinates, what are you afraid of?"

You can always watch it.

"Too."

So the mink stayed.

In the evening, the two returned with the mink in their arms. Shen Guifei reluctantly put her stomach on it, changed her coat, and lazily lay on the bed watching the three hairballs fight.

The adult knocked the little mink over with his paw, stepped on the fox cub's head neatly, climbed onto the mink's belly, lay down and yawned. The little mink obediently used it as a mattress, but the fox cub was a little unconvinced, and wanted to bite the adult, but he couldn't climb up and bite.

Man Xing walked over to pick up the fox cub: "My lord doesn't seem to like being with it."

This afternoon, the adult and the fox cub fought more than a dozen times, and there was no sense of harmonious coexistence at all. When not fighting, it ignores the fox and plays by itself.

But the adult is domineering, if the fox cub touches "its stuff", it will angrily run over and beat him. The poor fox cub couldn't beat the adults, he could only bark, and looked very cute.

Man Xing couldn't bear it, hugged it and coaxed it.

"Your Excellency doesn't like it? Then give it to Jin Li." Shen Guifei said casually.

Anyway, her daughter-in-law doesn't seem to like it very much. Anyway, if there is a mink, the fox will be given to others.

Man Xing thought about it, and thought it was okay, so he carried it to Jin Li.

Miss Jinli was very flattered when she received the fox cub. I didn't expect the imperial concubine to give her a pet, but unfortunately she can't keep pets unless His Majesty the Emperor gives permission.

After Jin Li bid farewell to Man Xing, she began to think about how to fool the emperor into agreeing to her raising a fox.

Or... move the imperial concubine out? This way, His Majesty won't wear small shoes, right

"Sent it there?" Concubine Shen Gui asked with little interest.

Man Xing poked Diao's head and almost got his finger bitten. With a lingering fear, he withdrew his hand and nodded.

"Miss Jinli likes it very much."

"Oh."

Concubine Shen was noncommittal: "When will the emperor come back?"

"Look at the time, it should be almost the same."

Generally, everyone will not procrastinate too late, no matter how many prey there are, they will come back when the time comes, otherwise they will not be able to catch up with the evening banquet. Moreover, they never came back, and the forbidden army had to go into the forest to find someone to avoid accidents, which was very frustrating.

Shen Yuqing is still not interested.

The empress went back to her tent, without her daughter-in-law to accompany her, and she was not active in doing anything.

Several concubines who wanted to visit came in the morning and afternoon, but they were all turned away. The excuses are exactly the same, saying that the imperial concubine is tired.

Later, when the concubines who came in the afternoon heard that the empress was also in the tent, they immediately knew that they had been dismissed. I was dissatisfied, but due to the difference in status, it was not easy to explode, so I had to endure it.

The imperial concubine said she didn't care about it.

However, there was a personal visit that made her feel strange that Concubine Mi actually came.

Concubine Mi has never liked to join in the fun, nor was she willing to drop by, but she came to see Shen Yuqing today, obviously something was wrong. But Shen Yuqing was not in the tent at that time, so she missed it, and now it is not easy to go to ask her what she is doing here.

Shen Yuqing frowned: "When she came over, was there anything wrong?"

Man Xing was contemplative, and shook his head for a while: "There is nothing wrong, but his expression is a little dazed, as if he has been distracted, and he doesn't know what he is thinking."

"Missed?" Shen Yuqing stretched out her hand to catch the furball that was rushing towards her, rubbed her stomach and squeezed her paws, "Leave her alone, if there is something to do, she will come back tomorrow."

Concubine Shen had a good time today, and she doesn't plan to go out tomorrow. It's okay to thank guests behind closed doors once or twice, but it's a bit too much every day.

Man Xing nodded and wrote it down.

In the evening, when it was getting dark, everyone came back.

The little eunuchs lit the prey for everyone one by one, and the one who came out on top seemed to be the general from the last autumn hunt. On the contrary, the young masters of the Xiao family were quite numerous and ranked among the best. His Majesty the Emperor was full of praise, and rewarded the Xiao family with a prey he had hunted on the spot.

Mrs. Shu looked at her eagerly, and when she was carrying someone behind her back, she hated her brother for being weak, and she despised him ashamed.

My younger brother is the eldest son of the Marquis Mansion, and I always feel that I can live comfortably with my title, so why bother? He responded nonchalantly, disregarding it in his heart.

Mrs. Shu frowned: "Don't you think that everything will be fine with the title. The Guixun House relies on the emperor's favor. If you lose favor, the title will be taken back by you in the future."

The eldest son doesn't think so in his heart, did the Marquis just accept it? He doesn't believe it.

After a reprimand, seeing that the time was almost up, Mrs. Shu couldn't say much. Seeing her younger brother obediently bowing his head to listen to her lecture, she felt a little more satisfied, and at least she was willing to listen, so it wasn't a big problem.

"Come on, it's time for me to go back." She got up and straightened her dress, "Don't be late for the dinner later, let people see the joke."

"Yes, yes, yes." Shizi heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly sent his sister away.

As soon as the person left, he stretched out on the chair and took a big mouthful of water.

"My sister really talks a lot. She said that she hasn't been thirsty for so long. I'm thirsty." He rolled his eyes, picked up the cold tea cup and poured it down vigorously, and then took the servant to go out to have a look The horse is gone.

During the day, I saw many spirited and good horses in the stables, but unfortunately they were picked away. His status is not too high, and when it is his turn, he can barely pick someone who is pleasing to the eye.

Some people brought their own BMWs, but the Hou Mansion didn't keep them, only some horse-drawn carriages. Just because he almost broke his leg while riding a horse two years ago, his mother, who doted on her son so much that she spoiled her son so much, didn't allow the house to raise a horse for her son to ride on, for fear that the baby lump would fall into something bad again.

Mrs. Shu didn't know that her younger brother went in one ear and out the other, so she didn't take her words to heart. The dinner party was about to start now, and she went to the main account ahead of time.

At this moment, many people have come, and Concubine Mi is sitting in her seat, staring at the front in a daze, not knowing what she is thinking.

Concubine Mi seemed to be wrong for a long time, but it was rare to see it so obvious recently.

"Sister Mi Concubine, what are you thinking?" She greeted with a smile.

In the past, Concubine Mi would at least respond, but today she just glanced at her and didn't respond at all.

The smile on Mrs. Shu's face froze, she just ignored Concubine Mi and turned her head to chat with Concubine Xi. Concubine Fu also made fun of it, everyone didn't see the emperor today, and it was rare to come out of the palace to breathe, but there was not so much smell of gunpowder.

But in a while, His Majesty the Emperor will reward some of his prey, and then the smell of gunpowder will become stronger.

By the time Concubine Shen arrives, it is basically time for the Empress God to arrive.

The imperial concubine has always been a professional latecomer. When she came, everyone was almost full, so there was no need to count the number of people.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the emperor and empress to come together.

As usual, he said a lot of scene words, and then rewarded the prey. The deer that shot the deer in the morning was not taken out for distribution.

Everyone was wondering that this deer-like emperor would be the first to score. Then the prey was separated. I don't know why there is no separation today.

They all looked at His Majesty the Emperor with a subtle premonition in their hearts.

It's probably a kind of... a premonition that I'm going to be blind again.

Sure enough, His Majesty the Emperor specially said: "Today is Ming Concubine's birthday, let the venison be reserved for Concubine Ming's health."

Everyone: "..."

Although not necessarily a single dog, but still feel sore eyes.

This plastic couple is quite capable of bluffing people by putting on an expression. At least they haven't seen anything wrong with their eyes so far.

The imperial concubine thanked her shyly, then lowered her head to eat the meat.

Concubine Mi next to her glanced at her, then quickly looked away. The eyes are calm, or dead silent, indifferent.

The whole deer returned to the imperial concubines, which made the concubines very jealous. At most, they got a few catties of other animal meat, not even a whole prey, completely incomparable with Concubine Shen Gui.

—I knew His Majesty would make a face for Concubine Shen today!

"Congratulations, Concubine Gui." Mrs. Shu smiled and congratulated Concubine Shen, "Sister's eight-month-old belly will be born in more than a month, right?"

The imperial concubine looked at her: "Sister Shu also wants to give birth? I just want to have one myself."

"..." She couldn't answer those words.

Who doesn't want to be pregnant! Then you have to be pregnant!

Mrs. Shu's face contorted for a moment, she felt that Concubine Shen was deliberately mocking her, saying that she hadn't conceived in the four years in the palace, and she was a hen that didn't lay eggs.

However, what they said was the truth, and they didn't bluntly scold her for not laying eggs, and she has no right to even be angry.

Shen Guifei ignored her after finishing speaking and continued to eat meat.

In front of outsiders, at least the imperial concubine still remembers to put on a show and not behave rudely.

Mrs. Shu glared at her twice, she didn't feel any pain or itching, so she could only look away resentfully. As soon as she turned her head back, she saw Fu Bin's unkind smile.

Madam Shu immediately frowned, always feeling that she was going to say something that would make her unhappy.

Sure enough, Concubine Fu said, "Why did my concubine hear the concubine's sister say that sister Shu is pregnant? But it's true? If she is really pregnant, sister should not hide it, and should see the imperial physician in time, lest something happens to the fetus. question."

What can go wrong

Want to quietly raise the fetus for three months, sit firmly and then burst out, and then accidentally abort it because you have never been pregnant and don't know what to avoid

Still didn't check it with the imperial physician, and gave birth to a deformed baby

Forget about the former, but the imperial physician may not be able to find out the latter. But no matter which one Fu Bin cursed, it was quite vicious.

Fortunately, Mrs. Shu was not pregnant, otherwise she would be very angry right now.

She snorted coldly: "Could it be that my sister has ear problems? When did I become pregnant? My sister should go see the imperial physician first!"

Get sick!

The two satirized each other, making Concubine Xi who was caught in the middle very impatient. However, she is following a sweet and cute style, so it's not easy to turn her face directly, the emperor is looking at the concubine here.

She could only mediate between the two with a smile on her face. Seeing that they didn't listen, her expression remained the same, but her tone became much colder.

"The two sisters should be quiet, don't let His Majesty think that the concubines in the harem are all shrews."

Just looking at the smile on her face, I can't imagine what she said.

Concubine Fu and Mrs. Shu looked at each other, snorted and turned their heads away, ignoring each other.

Concubine Xi squeezed her chopsticks tightly, and when the emperor looked away, she quickly lowered her head and turned cold. What a bunch of stupid women, it's annoying.

Compared with the condensation here, the atmosphere in other places is very lively.

Shen Yuqing looked at all kinds of delicious food on the empress's table not far away, feeling a little greedy.

She also wants to eat, but pregnant women can't eat many things, or they have to eat less. The dishes on her table didn't suit her taste, and the mammy stared at her and didn't change the dishes for her, so she could only endure it.

His majesty the emperor's hair stood on end under her stare, after thinking for a while, he pointed to a dish in front of him and sent it to Concubine Shen Gui. This dish can be eaten by pregnant women, and it barely suits her taste.

Only then did Concubine Shen feel more satisfied.
