(The content of the chapter will still be changed tomorrow)
It turned out that Chu Lian cooked the dishes on the table!
She gritted her teeth and instantly became dissatisfied with Chu Lian.
Patting her daughter's back lightly, Concubine Wei Gui asked Princess Le Yao distressedly, "Is it better?"
Princess Le Yao's face turned pale from vomiting, she finally stopped, took the teacup from the maid's hand, and took a sip of the tea to feel better.
"Mother and Concubine, tell me, Father doesn't like me anymore."
As soon as she regained her breath, Princess Le Yao's eyes turned red, and she shed tears after blinking twice.
There are not many princesses in Emperor Taiping's harem, and Princess Leyao is the youngest one. Before that, she was always the most favored in the palace. In the past, Emperor Taiping hardly said a single word to her, but now he suddenly got angry with her. Or because of a disgusting dish!
How can Princess Le Yao, who has always been strong, be reconciled to this!
Concubine Wei Gui saw that the woman's eyes were aggrieved like a red rabbit, and she quickly patted her head to comfort her, "How could Yao Er think so, your father has always liked you the most, but today he is just in a bad mood, which implicates you Just you."
Princess Le Yao sniffled and buried her head in Concubine Wei's soft embrace.
Concubine Wei Gui caressed her daughter's smooth hair, but her heart was still raised high.
It seems that she still underestimated the status of that bitch Ye Xun in the Holy Majesty's heart. She was just a loser crawling out of her stomach, and she was already married, yet the Holy Majesty paid so much attention to it.
Although Concubine Wei felt sorry for her daughter, she couldn't stay with her all the time, and there were hunting activities in the afternoon.
At that time, the holy majesty will take the civil and military officials to hunt in the mountains and forests, and she will be in charge of the remaining female relatives.
After a while, Concubine Wei left in a hurry.
At the door of the tent, I ran into County Lord An Min.
"An Min, please stay with Le Yao well, this child is in a bad mood today." Before leaving, Concubine Wei explained so.
Anmin county head hurriedly responded respectfully.
After Wei Guifei left, she really went into the tent to comfort Princess Le Yao.
Inside the tent, Princess Le Yao suddenly screamed, and then her eyes widened with unbelievable anger, "Cousin, what are you talking about! Father's emperor's table dishes were made by Chu Lian?"
County Lord An Min, who was two years older than Le Yao, nodded slightly with a solemn expression.
"good."
After being confirmed, Princess Le Yao clenched her teeth, wishing she could kill Chu Lian at this time.
She was favored in the palace, and she was used to being arrogant and domineering. She was reprimanded by Emperor Taiping twice because of Chu Lian, and with the little hidden thoughts about He Changdi in her heart, until now, she really made Chu Lian Hate it.
Fortunately, she didn't know the real relationship between Emperor Taiping and Chu Lian, otherwise, she would be mad.
"Ah! Why is this Chu Lian so hateful!" Princess Le Yao was angry and annoyed.
County Lord Anmin snorted lightly and rolled her eyes, "What's the use of my cousin being angry here? If you don't like her, you can just personally embarrass her. You and I are both royal daughters, why are you afraid of her? You Don't forget, what is the origin of this Chu Lian? It's Mrs. Anyuan Hou if you say it nicely now, but it's just a shabby householder."
Princess Le Yao's eyes lit up when she heard what County Princess An Min said, "Cousin, can you help me vent my anger?"
In the afternoon, everyone gathered in the square in front of the paddock after their lunch break.
This square covered with flat green grass has a large area surrounded by banners, which has been arranged by the officials in charge of the paddock in advance.
Among them are open-air stables, exquisite viewing sheds, professional shooting ranges, new polo fields and so on.
Emperor Taiping walked at the head of the crowd, personally marking the list of people who would follow him into the forest for hunting.
Most of them are military generals, He Changdi, Xiaojun Wang Lutai, and the young son of Zheng Guogong's mansion are all on the list.
Among them is Sima Hui, a woman who does not give in to others!
King Jin, who had been standing behind Emperor Taiping, suddenly glanced in Sima Hui's direction. The glance was very concealed, but with a gentleness and smile that others could not detect.
Sima Hui was raised as this man since she was a child, and when she heard this, she just smiled and went out to salute and obeyed, her behavior was graceful, without the shyness and embarrassment of ordinary women at all.
Her unrestrained behavior immediately won the admiring eyes of several young generals around her.
Emperor Taiping's speed was very fast. After all, it was getting late, and they had to come back before dark.
So everyone got on their horses one after another, with their hooves flying, and ran towards the mountains and forests.
Just when Emperor Taiping and the others had just left, Princess Le Yao ignored the objections of her attendants and guards, stepped onto the horses in the hunting ground, flicked the reins in her hand, and immediately entered the forest.
County Lord An Min watched from a hidden place in the distance, a look of contempt flashed in his eyes, and then the corners of his mouth raised.
She turned around and said to the strange court lady behind her: "Did you see it, tell Sixth Brother that the matter is over."
He Changdi, He Lin, Guo Xiaowei and others were specially named by Emperor Taiping to stay with him.
At this time, both He Lin and He Changdi have already hunted several wild animals, especially He Sanlang. An arrow is empty.
Because of this, Emperor Taiping looked a little better towards him.
In the dense forest ahead, suddenly a nimble doe flashed by. Emperor Taiping raised his longbow to aim and was about to shoot in that direction, when the voice of the guards around him suddenly sounded.
"My lord, it's not good!"
Emperor Taiping was distracted, and the doe in front of him disappeared.
Emperor Taiping said angrily in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
The guard shook, but still firmly reported the matter, "Go back to the Holy Lord, Princess Le Yao is following, right behind."
"What?! It's just nonsense!" Emperor Taiping's face turned from sunny to cloudy in an instant.
Princess Le Yao was favored by Emperor Taiping when she was young, and Emperor Taiping liked to ride horses. He would often go to the horse farm in the palace to relax after political affairs. Therefore, Princess Le Yao is not an ordinary royal family. She has been able to ride horses since she was a child. , under the special training of Emperor Taiping, his riding skills are actually good, not comparable to that of Chu Lian.
However, despite her superb riding skills, it cannot hide the fact that she is still a half-grown child.
The horses she rides are usually domesticated and docile fillies, and the hunting grounds are used for hunting are rebellious males. She is young, no matter how good her equestrian skills are, she doesn't have the strength to control them well. A fierce stallion, this is why Emperor Taiping didn't worry about it.
In an instant, Emperor Taiping frowned, "Yuanzhou, take the two of you to watch Le Yao from behind, and send her to Concubine Wei Gui to ground her!"
Yuan Zhou was the name of the guard who reported the situation. After he took the order, he was about to turn around when Princess Le Yao's charming voice sounded behind him.
"drive!"
Emperor Taiping stretched out his hand to stop the guards around him who were about to leave, and his expression became even more ugly. He led the crowd to stop and wait for Princess Le Yao.
Not long after, Princess Le Yao really came.
She was riding on a tall and strong horse, and people were really sweating for her when they saw her.
Princess Le Yao obviously also saw this side, she smiled and raised her hand to greet Emperor Taiping, "Father!"
Emperor Taiping had a headache.
Before Princess Le Yao came to her side, she said angrily: "You are so bold, who asked you to come, you look a bit like a daughter's house!"
Princess Le Yao seemed to have expected that Emperor Taiping would say this, she raised her chin, and looked in Sima Hui's direction, "Father, General Sima is also a woman, and she is here too, this is a woman who does not let her eyebrows down!"
Emperor Taiping didn't expect Princess Le Yao to refute himself with such words, and the anger in his chest was even worse.
Just as Princess Le Yao approached Emperor Taiping on horseback, the fierce horse under her crotch suddenly raised its front hooves and neighed without warning, and then moved like crazy...
Emperor Taiping stared, "Hurry up and protect the princess!"
At this time, among their group, the closest ones belonged to He Changdi and Xiaojun Wang Lu Tai.
For some reason, Princess Le Yao's horse obviously lost control.
Princess Le Yao cried out in fright because of such a sudden change.
She used to ride docile fillies, and she had never seen such a situation that she couldn't control. After all, she was young, her face turned pale in an instant, and she subconsciously screamed in fright.
Even He Changdi, who has experienced the previous life, has no time to think about whether to save people or not to save people at this time.
At such an urgent and critical time, there is simply no room for people to think about gains and losses.
He Changdi and Lu Tai drove their horses in the direction of Princess Le Yao.
Everyone watched nervously at the thrilling scene not far away, their hearts raised in their throats.
Emperor Taiping also widened his eyes and held his breath.
It's a pity... He Changdi, Lu Tai and the guards are still slow...
After all, the distance is too far, and it is difficult to put out a nearby fire with far water.
Before He Changdi and Lu Tai arrived, Princess Le Yao was thrown off the horse.
That stallion was heroic, and Princess Le Yao was only eleven years old. If she fell off the back of such a horse, even if she could save her life, she would probably be half disabled...
The stallion let out a shrill neigh, and fell down the next moment, stirring up a burst of tiny dust on the ground.
The horse was beheaded by He Changdi with a sword. This horse is already crazy. If it is not killed in time at this time, it might trample on Princess Le Yao who fell to the ground next to it.
Everyone rushed over in a hurry.
Lu Tai carefully picked up Princess Le Yao, he didn't dare to move, he was afraid of touching the injured part of Princess Le Yao.
Emperor Taiping came to Lu Tai with a face full of shock, "Yaoer!"
Although Princess Le Yao's temperament became more and more unpleasant, she was always Emperor Taiping's most beloved youngest daughter before, and now the youngest daughter was injured in front of his own father, how could he not feel sad.
After Emperor Taiping shouted, Princess Le Yao seemed to have regained consciousness from the shock of falling off the horse just now. She looked in the direction of Emperor Taiping, and burst into tears the next moment, "Father, father! , Yao'er is afraid that Yao'er will hurt!"
Emperor Taiping struggled, and he was at a loss for the moment when Yaonu cried for help in front of this politically clear and wise emperor.
He could only comfort him clumsily, "Don't be afraid, Yaoer, Father is by your side!"
After finishing speaking, Emperor Taiping yelled at the imperial physician again.
In fact, Spring Hunting brought the imperial doctor, because hunting always involves some minor injuries and pains, but the imperial doctor did not go out hunting with them, and was still in the camp at the hunting ground.
Seeing that Emperor Taiping's face was dark, He Lin stood up quickly, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is not here, I am proficient in some medical etiquette, let me show the princess!"
Emperor Taiping glanced at He Lin, and He Lin immediately came to Princess Le Yao to check her pulse.
Princess Le Yao cried out, and He Lin moved very quickly.
After a while, He Lin turned around, his brows were tightly frowned.
"What's going on!" Emperor Taiping knew the commander of the imperial forest army beside him very well, and when he saw the expression on his face, he already knew that it might not be good.
When He Lin was about to exit, Emperor Taiping raised his hand to stop him, and then walked a few steps to the side, motioning for He Lin to speak in a low voice.
He Lin organized his words, and his expression became more solemn.
"My lord, I dare you, Princess Le Yao may not be able to keep her left leg... Even if a doctor with excellent medical skills is invited, the best case is to keep her left leg, but there must be some problems in walking in the future."
Emperor Taiping gasped.
What
Can't keep your daughter's legs
He Lin is an extremely conservative person, he is very measured in what he says and does. He never speaks out when he is uncertain. Since he said that Princess Le Yao's leg cannot be kept, the situation will only be worse than what he said.
Emperor Taiping closed his eyes and quickly calmed down his emotions.
He walked back to Princess Le Yao. At this time, he had regained all his senses. What was in front of everyone was not only a father, but also a high-ranking emperor who could not be violated or questioned.
"Yuanzhou, take someone to take the princess back first, and when you arrive at the camp, immediately ask Imperial Physician Zhou to treat Yao'er."
The guard Yuan Zhou took orders immediately.
Although Emperor Taiping and He Lin deliberately avoided talking a few steps just now, He Changdi, who has sensitive five senses, still heard it.
He was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that Princess Le Yao's leg could not be healed... In his previous life, such a thing had never happened, at that time he knew that Princess Le Yao was still alive and well when he was about to die.
Yuan Zhou was just about to take over Princess Le Yao from Lu Tai, the king of the small county.
Unexpectedly, the crying Princess Le Yao suddenly pointed at He Changdi, crying with tears in her eyes: "Father, I want brother Changdi to send me back, woo woo..."
Emperor Taiping was stunned, and he glanced at He Changdi beside him with a gaze like a deep pool. He was still holding the long sword that had beheaded a fierce horse, and the tip of the long sword was still dripping with blood. .
In fact, Princess Le Yao's request was very abrupt and unreasonable.
Although it is a bit exaggerated to say that men and women have different seats at the age of seven in the Great Wu Dynasty, it does not mean that there is no great defense for men and women in the Great Wu Dynasty.
He Changdi is a married man, and Princess Leyao is eleven years old, a half-grown girl. In the Great Wu Dynasty, women can marry after reaching the age of 12. At the age of twelve, some people began to discuss marriage with their daughters. Princess Leyao At this age, we have to pay attention to the distance between men and women.
What's more, Princess Le Yao developed relatively early, perhaps because of the good environment, she looks more mature than girls of the same age, in fact she is only eleven years old, but she looks like a girl who is thirteen or fourteen years old. what a difference.
As soon as Princess Le Yao uttered these words, many eyes fell on He Changdi immediately.
Some are probing, some are jealous, some are contemptuous, and some even have malicious intentions...
He Changdi didn't expect Princess Le Yao to make such an excessive request.
As for the intersection between him and Princess Le Yao, it could be that in order to get into Emperor Taiping's sight as soon as possible, he used the memory of his previous life to save her on purpose. Later, Princess Le Yao met him several times. At that time, Le Yao The princess is only ten years old, how could He Changdi think too much.
Later, he went to the northern border to fight for his military exploits. This year, he came back after the great victory in the northern border. When he saw Princess Le Yao again, he just nodded his head at several banquets in the palace.
Although He Changdi resisted Princess Le Yao's actions from the bottom of his heart, he didn't think too much about it. In his eyes, Princess Le Yao was really just a little girl who didn't grow up.
He stood motionless, still with that cold handsome face and clear demeanor.
Emperor Taiping obviously didn't know what his daughter was really thinking. He remembered that He Changdi had saved his daughter last year, and now he wanted He Changdi to send her back to the camp, probably because of her daughter's dependence on the savior. Because He Changdi had saved her before, he could give her a sense of security.
He glanced at He Sanlang and said, "Marquis An Yuan, take the princess back."
Emperor Taiping himself spoke, and He Changdi could only obey. He took a step forward and took Princess Leyao from the king of Xiaojun. Then he mounted his horse and went straight to the camp with Yuanzhou and other guards.
The injury on Princess Le Yao's leg cannot be delayed.
Emperor Taiping watched He Changdi take Princess Le Yao away, paused for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, then got on his horse, and led his ministers towards the depths of the mountain forest.
His daughter was injured, and he didn't have any intention of spring hunting anymore.
But with so many ministers and noble children coming out, it is not very good to go back directly, so I can only cheer up and deal with it in a circle.
Chu Lian and the other female relatives were sitting in the shed drinking tea and watching the scenery. This time, she was sitting next to Princess Wei and Princess Duanjia.
Sitting at the top is of course Concubine Wei, followed by the concubines of the princes and the female relatives of the royal family.
Looking at it this way, there are quite a few people, and the three booths are all full.
Princess Duanjia threw a Jinxiu peeled walnut into her mouth, and rolled her eyes in the direction of County Princess Anmin.
Princess Wei stared at her when she saw her actions, "Duanjia, don't be rude."
Chu Lian was sitting beside Princess Duanjia, and upon hearing this, she also glanced at County Princess Anmin.
At this time, Anmin County Lord was having a heated chat with several princesses.
In this dynasty, the titles of royal clan women such as Princess, County Lord, and Township Lord do not have fiefdoms. It is not like women in the Tang Dynasty can also have fiefdoms. They may be given a certain amount of land, but the treatment is very different from that of men.
Even the golden branches and jade leaves of the royal family will not have much status if they are not taken care of by those in power.
Princess An De, the mother of County Lord An Min, is such a person.
Princess Ande was ranked eighth, her status as a concubine was lowly, she was a lowly court lady favored by the first emperor after he was drunk, and later passed away not long after giving birth to Princess Ande due to dystocia.
It was rumored in the palace that Princess Ander Kemu, so no concubine was willing to raise her.
When she was young, she lived with the maids in the palace, and sometimes she didn't even have enough to eat. Later, when Emperor Taiping came to the throne, Princess Ande was given the title.
However, because of the wasted time in the palace, Princess Ande had already passed the flowering period when she got married, and she got a daughter of County Lord Anmin when she was almost thirty. The two concubines each gave birth to a concubine.
Because of the existence of the bastard, An Min County Lord's family is not harmonious.
Chu Lian withdrew his gaze, and softly asked Princess Duanjia beside him, "What's wrong?"
Princess Duanjia sneered, "I just see her upset, Chu Liu, remember to stay away from this person."
Chu Lian recalled the previous plots in the original book, and the Anmin county master only briefly described a few sentences in the book, and did not introduce anything else.
Before Princess Duanjia explained to Chu Lian in detail why County Princess Anmin was not good, she heard a commotion at the table opposite County Princess Anmin.
Then there was a burst of laughter from the young woman.
Everyone heard a voice as delicate as an oriole and said with a smile: "Miss Royal Concubine, you see how boring we are just sitting here watching the shed. The Holy Majesty and the others will not be able to return until evening when they go to the hunting ground!"
"It's Princess Nanzhang who spoke." Princess Duanjia whispered in Chu Lian's ear.
Princess Nanzhang is the youngest daughter of King Lewen. Although she is a family member, her status is average. King Lewen is the second son of King Zhao, the brother of the late emperor.
However, this Nanzhang princess is eloquent, and she often shows her face in some high-class banquets, leaving a deep impression on many noble ladies in Beijing. Even Concubine Wei likes her talk.
The title of Princess Nanzhang came from her mouth. Thinking about it this way, she is really a talent.
The identity of the princess Nanzhang is like a courtesan in the upper class nowadays, and it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of those who really hold a lot of power.
Concubine Wei sat on the top and smiled gracefully, "You ghost, you can't sit still after just a while? Why, did you think of some funny idea, come tell me about it."
"Your Majesty is really wise. Your Majesty can see through these little tricks of mine at a glance. Since your Majesty does not dislike me and has spoken, I will boldly make a suggestion." As he spoke, the Nanzhang County Master's slightly raised Danfeng eyes looked at the huge Looking around the shed, she has a smile on her face, which makes people feel that she is easy to get close to.
"Although we are women, we are not powerless. Although we can't reach the height of General Sima, when it comes to riding horses, I think everyone here can't do it! Why don't we have a game of polo? ?”
Both polo and Cuju were very popular in the Dawu Dynasty.
Because horses are expensive, Cuju is more widely promoted among the people. Sometimes young people meeting with Cuju can be seen on the streets of Shengjing City.
Polo, on the other hand, was mostly an aristocratic activity.
Aristocratic women basically know it too.
Women's polo is gentler than men's. The poles and balls used are different, and the number of people is smaller than men's. The horses in polo are the most docile fillies selected from thousands of people.
Generally speaking, there is basically no risk.
This activity is also one of the few events where women can show their athletic talents.
Concubine Wei Gui was obviously moved by Nanzhang Princess's words, she laughed, "Nanzhang's proposal is good, since it has all come out, let's relax, everyone is wearing riding clothes today, if we don't show off our heroine Charming, this riding outfit is not for nothing."
