The scenery around the royal hunting ground is good, with mountains, water and forests. ()
Because Chu Lian was injured, Emperor Taiping pardoned her to stay in the tent to rest instead of participating in activities.
In the entire spring hunting field, I am afraid that they are the few wounded who are the most leisurely.
According to Wenqing's report, before she got up in the morning, Old Zheng Guogong, Sima Hui, Guo Xiaowei and others all came to inquire about her situation in person.
Sima Hui also left behind a maid who was proficient in medical skills, and Chu Lian walked to the lake not far away with Wenqing's support.
She couldn't figure out that even Sima Hui, Guo Xiaowei, Xiao Hongyu and others knew to care about her, why the husband she needed most, He Changdi, was nowhere to be seen
Taking a deep breath of the air with the cool spring air, he suppressed the resentment in his heart.
If Emperor Taiping hadn't made arrangements for the officials who came with him, she would have rushed to He Changdi to ask him what he thought.
It's just so infuriating.
Even if you are not satisfied with her, you have to meet her and make it clear, what's the point of avoiding her like this!
Chu Lian turned around and told Wenqing Wenlan who was following her, "Go and find out what's going on with Princess Le Yao, and whether your husband is with her."
As soon as Chu Lian finished speaking, he heard a woman's voice.
Chu Lian turned his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
On the lake embankment about fifty or sixty meters away from them, a man in a black python robe with a cold face and a sword at his waist walked squarely beside the girl in a wooden wheelchair. Behind the girl were four or five maids and female officials.
Who else could it be if it wasn't He Changdi and Princess Le Yao.
Chu Lian's clear pupils shrank suddenly, staring blankly at He Changdi and Princess Le Yao who were walking by the lake embankment.
The corners of his mouth curled up in a sarcastic arc, and his supposedly bright little face also darkened a bit.
It turned out that He Changdi avoided seeing her in order to accompany the injured Princess Le Yao.
It really taught her a lot.
Wenqing Wenlan behind Chu Lian also faded when he saw this scene and frowned. They didn't understand what the third young master was doing.
When did he get so close to Princess Le Yao
He Changdi's face was cold and stiff, his eyes were narrowed slightly, his pupils were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but when he looked carefully, there were two blue shadows under his eyelids.
Suddenly, he was sensitively aware of a familiar gaze, and as soon as he raised his head, he met Chu Lian's stunned gaze.
He Changdi frowned instantly, and regret flashed in the eyes that fell on Chu Lian.
He leaned forward slightly and wanted to run over now, but he didn't know what he thought of, so he held back his steps.
Taking a deep breath, suppressing the churning blood in his chest, he turned his gaze away coldly.
From the corner of Chu Lian's eyes, she saw Princess Le Yao's sarcastic and smug smile when she looked at her.
Chu Lian suppressed a slight smile, blessed Fushen in the direction of Princess Le Yao from a distance, then turned around and left without looking back again.
Wenqing Wenlan, who was following Chu Lian, was also very angry. He blocked Chu Lian's back from left to right, preventing the people behind him from seeing anything.
After returning to the tent, Chu Lian huddled on the bed and sulked. She just wanted to go out to take a breath, but unexpectedly, she became even more frustrated.
Damn, He Changdi is simply poisonous.
Not long after, Wenqing told about Princess Le Yao's situation.
When it came to Princess Le Yao's crippled leg, Chu Lian didn't feel sorry for her at all, and even felt a sense of pleasure in his heart.
From the first time she entered the palace, Princess Le Yao targeted her.
Even more blatant now.
She couldn't understand what He Changdi was thinking. Although Princess Le Yao was young, her goal was pure fruit. He Sanlang really wanted to be the old consort of the royal family, so he should go to Shangzhu!
The Great Wu Dynasty is not the previous dynasty, the Lord Shang's son-in-law will not give real power, if you take the emperor's daughter, just wait to eat and die!
Chu Lian's mind was extremely confused. Because the hunting ground was located in the suburbs and the climate was later than Shengjing City, it was still quite cold at night.
Riding a horse on the way here, I was frightened yesterday and didn't sleep well at night, Chu Lian looked thinner.
Now his face is pale and he is haggard. It seems that the previous body repairs have been wasted again.
Wen Lan was very distressed, because the sisters knew kung fu, so Chu Lian usually went out with their sisters to serve her, but in the Hou Mansion, the most trusted maid of the third grandma was Xi Yan.
The night before they left, Xiyan specifically told them to take good care of the third grandma's body, and Nanny Zhong also gave an extra explanation.
After all, the third grandma is in good health, and the young couple are loving, maybe they will have a little son in their womb.
Fortunately, the third grandma is not only not fat, but also thinner than before...
Chu Lian was so angry that he lost his appetite, so he took care of every meal in the past two days.
Asking Lan asked with a worried expression, "Third Grandma, what do you want to eat at noon, my servant will prepare it for you earlier."
The third grandma, who pays great attention to food on weekdays, lacks interest at this time. She waved her hand and said, "Cook a few dishes as you like. I eat less in the morning, so I prepare meals earlier at noon."
Wen Lan didn't understand Chu Lian's meaning when she heard it, and thought that the third grandma's appetite had finally recovered, with a look of joy on her face, she took the two little maids to pick out ingredients.
At noon that day, Chu Lian really ate very early.
About an hour earlier than usual.
She didn't eat more than the previous two meals as Wenlan had expected. Chu Lian only drank half a bowl of soup and said she was full.
Then I went to take a nap behind the screen.
He Changdi came back at noon, and Chu Lian had just slept for less than half an hour.
He entered the tent and found that it was quiet inside, and his face became more and more serious.
"Your grandma hasn't eaten yet?"
Wen Qing lowered his head and answered, "Back to the third young master, the third grandma had eaten an hour ago, and now she has gone to bed." Wen Qing's words were more than respectful but not emotional.
He Changdi was sensitive to the changes in the entire tent.
The plan to have dinner with Chu Lian at the entrance was also given up.
He waved to Wenqing, "Go down."
Wen Qing got out of the tent without looking back.
He came outside to watch more and more, and when he saw Wenqing coming out, he went up to meet him.
Lai Yue's face was full of anxiety, "My sister Wenqing, what's going on inside?"
"What happened?"
Lai Yue pulled Wen Qing to the side, and said in a low voice: "You didn't notice that the third grandma and the third young master were having a fight! You said what's going on, everything is fine, why did the sky suddenly change?"
Wenqing was originally angry at Changdi, but Laiyue, who has no eyesight, is still confusing black and white here, and she immediately became angry. As expected, there are as many slaves as there are masters, and this Laiyue is not a good deal either.
"Look with your dog eyes, whether it's the third grandma's fault, or the third young master's. I can't figure it out, you have nothing to eat like the third young master!"
Eyes widened in horror, she grabbed Wenqing's sleeve, "Oh, my aunt, I beg you, please get me a bowl of rice, I've been slipping away all morning, and even a sip of water is worthless." Didn't drink it!"
Wen Qing sneered, "Why, the snacks from Princess Le Yao still can't fill your stomach? Stop crying in front of me, sorry."
I feel more and more bitter in my heart, "Sister Qing, don't misunderstand me, I went to work early in the morning, where did I go to Princess Le Yao?"
Wen Qing was taken aback, "Did you go to Princess Le Yao's place?"
He shook his head more and more, his face wrinkled into an orange.
"Then only the third young master went?"
"I don't know about this, how dare I ask about the third young master."
Wen Qing glared at him fiercely, "What use is there for you!"
"Hey, no, sister, I'm really innocent, give me a meal."
It looks more and more pitiful.
The green clothes were covered with stains here and there, the stubble was protruding, and the hair was messed up. Just looking at his appearance, he really looked like a refugee from where he came from.
Wenqing snorted, "Come with me, the third grandma still has some food left at noon, it's a good deal for you."
Lai Yue grinned, showing his big white teeth, "Okay, as long as there is something to eat, I don't mind the little ones."
He Changdi, who was hungry and had no intention of eating, never thought that his close friend Chang Sui had abandoned him long ago.
On the hunting ground, each family manages the food by itself, and the royal family doesn't care about your life or death. Even if He Changdi is on duty every day, he still has to come back for dinner.
Chu Lian ate early on purpose to avoid sitting at the same table with He Changdi.
But I didn't expect Wenqing Wenlan to cook even better, and he didn't even prepare meals for He Changdi.
Where did He Changdi still have an appetite, he was so upset that he walked lightly to the back of the screen and glanced at Chu Lian.
Chu Lian fell asleep on his side with his back to him, his small soft body curled up into a ball, he stretched out his hand to touch it, but he retracted halfway.
He closed his eyes, turned out the screen, and lay down on the long couch next to him for a while.
As soon as he left Chu Lian, he opened his eyes.
Staring at the top of the tent, Chu Lian blinked, she was not asleep at all, she laughed at herself for a long time, it seemed that it was impossible to wait for He Changdi to open her mouth to give an explanation.
Forget it, he likes to talk or not.
Chu Lian turned over angrily and closed her eyes, this time she really fell asleep.
When he woke up, He Changdi was no longer in the tent.
In the afternoon, Emperor Taiping took people to hunt in the mountains. Princess Duanjia ordered someone to bring some wild game, including wild ducks, golden pheasants, and a buck. In the evening, Emperor Taiping was going to hold a spring hunting bonfire banquet. He declined because of his physical discomfort.
But facing the game that was sent, Chu Lian couldn't do anything.
Wen Qing brought her a rocking chair out, and she sat by the side and directed a few servant girls how to roast game.
When the wild game was ready, Chu Lian didn't eat a bite, so he asked people to distribute it to Old Zheng Guogong, Princess Duanjia, King Jin and others.
At this time, there is still an hour before the evening bonfire banquet.
In King Jin's tent, He Changdi sat bored, his handsome face was as stern as ever, but he was extremely pale and haggard.
King Jin opened the tent and came in, and saw his friend sitting at the table in a daze.
His blue eyes glanced at him lightly, "What's wrong? Half dead?"
He Changdi's thin lips were tightly pursed into a line, and his eyes were lowered, like a statue that can't speak.
King Jin took off his cloak and handed it to the attendant beside him, then walked to He Changdi's side in two steps, and looked him up and down.
Disheveled, haggard, unshaven beard, bloodshot eyes, even black under the eyes, hiss... What kind of blow did this guy suffer...
As soon as King Jin sat down, a maid brought soup to warm his body and stomach.
Before he picked up the spoon next to him, He Changdi whispered, "Give me a bowl too."
Now King Jin was terrified. He held the spoon, frowned and looked at his friend, "If you have the food cooked by Jin Yi, you can still fancy my food?"
Back then when Guilinju was still open, he would go there when he was hungry. The dignified prince even went to the restaurant to satisfy his appetite, but it turned out that He Changdi went out to eat these "shoddy" food , really hehe.
He Sanlang ignored King Jin's teasing, and said indifferently: "I haven't eaten for a whole day and night."
King Jin: ...
"Jin Yi can still starve you?" That girl is a foodie, and if she doesn't do anything, her mouth will be stuffed. How can she not cook? Even if she doesn't do it herself, there are two people around her who have learned She is something of a true maid!
He Changdi is never going to be hungry.
He Sanlang didn't speak, just kept silent, when the servant girl brought another bowl of soup, he drank it in one gulp.
His appearance is not tasting food at all, it is purely to satisfy his hunger.
King Jin was a little stunned, and shook his head helplessly, "I still want you to taste it. Although this soup is not as delicious as Jinyi's, it is still a high-quality product."
While King Jin was drinking soup, a servant came in to report.
"Your Majesty the Fourth Highness, the Lord of Jinyi Township ordered someone to send you wild game. You must try it now."
King Jin was taken aback for a moment, raised his eyebrows, look, just as he mentioned Chu Lian, Chu Lian brought food.
"Bring it in."
The valet hurried out, and after a while, came in with a food box, and put two plates of wild game in the food box on the table.
A plate of venison and a plate of wild duck are already sliced.
Because it had just been baked, the grilled meat on the plate was still steaming, and the aroma was tangy.
King Jin picked up his chopsticks and ordered some on the two plates in front of him, "It's self-defeating, and he said he didn't eat it, so the barbecue made by Jinyi will not be sent to me here, right?"
He Changdi looked bitter, it was true, Chu Lian did not leave him a bite of the rice.
Without saying a word, He Sanlang picked up a piece of barbecued meat with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
The burnt fragrance is fresh and tender, making people unforgettable after tasting it once. It is Chu Lian's method that roasted it right.
But when such delicious food fell into his mouth, his mouth was full of bitterness.
King Jin didn't expect his friend to strike at the slightest disagreement.
He said angrily: "Hey, you are too impolite, this is what Jinyi sent me to eat, if you want to eat it, ask Jinyi to roast it for you, you can eat as much as you want, why bother to grab it from me. "
Although Jin Wang said so, he didn't stop his friend's actions. He knew that his friend was in a bad mood at the moment, so interrupting him like this was just to distract him and think about it.
The two plates of barbecue were divided up by two big men in a short while.
King Jin leaned back slightly and leaned back on the chair, his eyes fell on his friend who was in a daze again, "Say it? What's going on? Did you quarrel with Jinyi?"
He Sanlang rubbed his stiff handsome face, took a deep breath, "Lian'er is mad at me."
King Jin raised his special eyes, "Tell me."
He Sanlang and Jin Wang are life-and-death friends, and they are also childhood friends. They have been good friends since their last lives, and they have nothing bad to say.
After deliberating for a while, He Changdi revealed the ins and outs of the matter.
King Jin was slightly startled after hearing this, his blue eyes flashed, he couldn't believe it, "Are you really interested in that little girl Le Yao?"
He Changdi was dumbfounded by his friend's question. He had a cold face and an angry voice, "Lu Yi, what do you mean!"
King Jin sneered coldly, "It's both hugging and accompanying, isn't it interesting for that little girl?"
He Changdi: ...
"Don't think about it, Princess Le Yao is only eleven years old, and I'm not a pervert!"
"hehe."
"That's the order of the Holy One, I can't disobey the emperor's order."
Jin Wang glanced at this idiot-like friend, and smiled sinisterly, "You are stupid, Le Yao is already eleven years old, and how many children who grew up in the palace are innocent, don't talk to me." Said, Le Yao is young, and in another year, she will be twelve. Even in Xungui's house, she can discuss marriage at the age of twelve. Le Yao is dissatisfied with Jinyi, and you have never thought about what Jinyi is. Feeling? I think you are not as good as Xiao Bojian!"
King Jin's last sentence was really a bit heavy, but facing his friend who was in a dead end, he had to ring the alarm bell in his ear.
He Changdi figured out what King Jin said, and he was enlightened instantly.
His face suddenly became serious. At the same time, I feel guilty and scared.
Clenching his fists, and finally resisting the eruption, he asked coldly, "Ayi, how is the investigation going?"
King Jin's light-colored pupils, which were ridiculed and joking just now, instantly became dangerous.
"Whether it's Le Yao's injury or Jin Yi's fall, it's all arranged long ago, but I can't find out who is behind the scenes, and I can't be sure that it is the sixth child."
A ray of dangerous and cold light seeped out of He Changdi's deep eyes.
King Jin tapped the round table with one slender fingertip, "Just one thing I don't understand, it's okay if they plot against you, but why plot against Jinyi? Even if Xiao Bojian has no more love for Jinyi, that's okay You have to risk your life, and in front of your father."
This is indeed a mystery. In this life, Chu Lian has never had anything to do with Xiao Bojian at all, and it has nothing to do with the open and secret fight to seize the heir, but he was involved for no reason. Even He Changdi, a reborn person, would like to No way.
"Do you have any idea?"
He Sanlang shook his head, "Don't worry, I will protect Lian'er well."
King Jin stopped talking, and the two sat in silence for a while, and King Jin started to push people away.
"Okay, let's go, let's go, the king is going to rest, I can't sleep looking at your ice face."
He Changdi got up and left with a cold face.
There was still half an hour before the bonfire banquet held by Emperor Taiping himself in the evening. He wanted to go back and see Chu Lian, but he still felt a little awkward.
He Sanlang swept his gaze, turned around and headed towards Guo Xiaowei and Zhang Mai's camp.
Because Guo Xiaowei's wife is not related to the royal blood, so this time he was the only one who came to the spring hunting and lived in a tent with Zhang Mai.
He walked to the tent, saw the familiar felt curtain, and thought of the days when he was in the army with his brothers in the northern border.
He Changdi's stiff mouth finally loosened.
The soldier guarding the gate recognized He Changdi, and immediately went in to report after saluting. After a while, the curtain was lifted by the soldier, and he stepped in.
Guo Xiaowei and Zhang Mai were sitting around a small table, drinking spirits and eating barbecue.
Don't be too carefree in your little days.
Captain Guo saw that it was He Changdi, and hurriedly waved to him, "Zixiang, come and sit down."
He Changdi walked to the small side with long legs, and sat on the ground like them. There was a woolen blanket in the tent, and it was not cold.
He glanced at the two familiar plates of barbecue on the small table, and pursed his lips.
Guo Xiaowei, a big bastard, doesn't like to watch words and expressions. He said bluntly: "Your wife sent someone to send it. It's really fucking delicious. You are really lucky."
As he spoke, he directly twisted a piece of barbecue with his rough hands and threw it into his mouth, with an expression of enjoyment.
He Changdi was blocked to death.
Simply lower your head, out of sight, out of mind.
Zhang Mai on the side was much more careful than Xiaowei Guo. He looked at He Changdi up and down, frowned slightly, "Zixiang, why do you look like this?"
Although He Changdi doesn't pay much attention to dressing and grooming on weekdays, at least he keeps it tidy and clean. Under conditions, he will not treat himself badly.
Especially with Chu Lian's care, after returning to Shengjing, they are all fine clothes and delicacies.
He was already well proportioned, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and a handsome face. Although he was always cold, he had an impressive temperament.
As long as you dress up a little, you will be no different from your son.
Some colleagues even secretly imitated his clothes.
Let’s just say that the sapphire ring finger he was wearing was originally worn by military generals to prevent his fingers from being abraded when shooting arrows, but since He Changdi has been wearing this heavy jade finger ring all year round, civil servants in the court and China have also begun to wear it. Lifted his finger.
Different from his usual fineness, He Changdi is very "rough and crazy" now.
It is worse than in the Northern Frontier Army.
He Changdi kept a cold face, and it took a while before he said a word, "I have a subordinate whose wife is angry. He has been absent-minded for the past two days, and I don't know how to calm him down."
As soon as he said this, Guo Xiaowei didn't even eat the barbecue, exchanged glances with Zhang Mai, and looked at He Changdi as if he had seen a ghost.
I'll go, will this guy lie, it's too fake, the subordinate he talks about is himself...
The corners of Guo Xiaowei and Zhang Mai's mouths couldn't help twitching.
It turned out that Marquis An Yuan, who was decisive in killing and attacking troops and talented in military training, had such troubles.
After a pause for a few seconds, Captain Guo and Zhang Mai were immediately excited.
Could it be that He Changdi has something to ask for, they should do their best to be a good brother and solve his problems.
Guo Xiaowei straightened his face, "Oh? Did your subordinate tell me what happened to the lovely wife at home?"
He Changdi closed his eyes, thought for a while with a stiff face: "I don't care about people, I don't cook, and I don't talk."
Guo Xiaowei was eager to try after hearing this, "Little couples fight at the head of the bed and fight at the end of the bed, women, it is inevitable to be hypocritical, maybe she has regretted it long ago, but she is thin-skinned, so I am embarrassed to say it."
"Yes, as a man, you have to be thick-skinned. You can take the initiative to apologize to her, and just coax her."
He Changdi frowned, obviously having doubts about Guo Xiaowei and Zhang Mai's proposal. In his heart, Chu Lian was not such a messy woman.
Guo Xiaowei saw his suspicious face, gritted his teeth, and said his ultimate move.
"Brother told you, if you can't solve it like this, then you can grind it out on the bed. If it doesn't work once, just twice. Anyway, this trick is especially useful for your sister-in-law."
