Zong Cong hummed and walked in.
With his hands behind his back, he has the majesty and posture of an emperor.
Pan'er was also embarrassed, because she was so angry and anxious, she didn't even notice that there was a boy standing beside her.
"Fu Qing, I've heard about it. Thanks to your help, nothing happened to my princesses."
Zong Cong sat down on the chair vigorously.
As he spoke, he waved to Wanrong: "Thank you, uncle?"
"Thank you, cousin." Wanrong gave a blessing, but she was dressed in riding clothes, with some grass clippings on her body, and she didn't have time to clean up her face. She looked like a wild girl instead of a princess.
Fu Qing stepped aside, only received a half-courte, nodded to Wanrong, and then said to Zong Cong: "Actually, we are also to blame for this matter. It is the people with us who provoked the female bear, and we have caused several troubles. The first princess was frightened. The fifth princess was actually quite brave, and she didn’t cry when she was frightened, and she kept helping the bear with shooting arrows to harass the bear, which is very brave of Your Majesty.”
Pan'er looked at her daughter in surprise, while Zong Cong said with a smile: "This girl is used to being skinny, and I and her mother and concubine can't control her very much. She likes to wield swords and swords all day long..."
"Father!" Wanrong protested.
"Look." After saying that, Zong Cong laughed again, while Fu Qing just pursed his lips and smiled.
Afterwards, Pan'er and Wanrong withdrew.
When the two returned to the tent where Jingren Palace was located, Pan Er pulled Wan Rong and asked her if she was injured anywhere.
Wanrong shook her head.
Pan'er asked her why she got involved with Wanxian and the others. In fact, Wanrong was with Zong Yue and the others, and there were many guards, so she was not worried about accidents. It was precisely this that made her very worried when she found out.
Wanyu told the ins and outs of the matter again, and then said that on the way back, seeing Wanxian and Wanshu always wanted to find an excuse to talk to Fu Qing.
Originally, she thought that these two people had taken a fancy to Fu Qing and wanted him to be a son-in-law, but what her father said just now made her realize that Fu Qing still has such an identity.
In fact, when you think about it, Empress Dowager Fu was born in the Duke of Jin's mansion, and the children of the Duke of Jin's mansion are more or less related to Zong Cong. Fu Qing seems to be not much older than them, but in many cases, seniority cannot Calculated by age.
"Now that Fu Qing is our cousin, the elder sister and the second sister should not be thinking about it."
Pan'er had the opposite attitude, and she even thought more.
Maybe this time Wanxian and Wanshu made so many troubles, it was all aimed at Fu Qing. She even thought of the meaningful words that Concubine Xu Xian took the brochure to show to the Queen Mother that day.
At that time, she only thought that what the Empress Dowager said, at most, there seemed to be something in her words. Looking at it now, maybe Concubine Xu Xian had put Fu Qing in it at that time, so the Empress Dowager would say that, saying that she actually spoke for Concubine Xu Xian.
Pan'er patted his forehead, feeling that his reaction was half a beat slow.
Seeing her mother acting like this suddenly, Wanwang was very surprised and hurriedly asked what was wrong.
Now that her daughter is so old, and now Kunning Palace and Yanxi Palace are obviously taking the way that the elders don't show up and put their children in front of them. Naturally, she can't let Wanwei be confused, especially today's incident proves that I'm afraid there will be more things like this in the future.
She pulled Wanrong to sit down, and explained the ins and outs of the matter.
"Mother, do you mean that both Wanxian and Wanshu want their cousin to be their son-in-law? The queen mother and Xu Niangniang both think so, but isn't he our cousin?"
So Wanrong is still young, she seems to understand some things in the palace very well, but in fact she still doesn't understand some things.
Pan'er didn't know how to explain to her that the royal family's occasional seniority is actually quite chaotic, because there are many in-laws in the royal family, and when counting around corners, they can all be related to relatives, so it will cause cousins to marry nieces, uncles Niece and stuff like that happen.
She just gave a vague and general explanation, which probably made Wanrong understand that this kind of thing is not impossible, but it just depends on the current situation, and it needs to be adjusted according to local conditions and people's conditions.
Wanrong didn't know if she understood or not, so she nodded.
"Anyway, don't get involved... go to them, if they pull you to do something again, you'll run away, you know?"
"knew."
On the other side, after Wanshu finished washing, she faced her younger brother's concerned eyes.
With Zong Duo's body, he can only watch other people galloping wildly, so he seldom shows up outside these days when he comes to Nanyuan, for fear that someone will ask him to go hunting and he will make a fool of himself .
So all the people who went hunting today have left, and he, Concubine Hu Shu and a group of female relatives are sitting alone in the tent. Naturally, it is difficult to be comfortable, so after everyone left, he avoided the tent until he heard about Wan Shu. They came out to check on the situation almost without accident.
Wanshu naturally tried her best to comfort him, and said it was an accident. Zong Duo saw that the second sister was fine, so she left.
The maid served the tea, and Wanshu took a sip of it when Wanxian came.
Wanxian seemed to have just washed and washed, she didn't wear riding clothes, and changed into a lotus-colored dress. Girls at this age are all tender, and her temperament is gentle, like a quietly blooming orchid.
Wanshu never felt that she was not as good as Wanxian before, and she didn't know if she had a different mentality now, or it was the difference between being good and not good enough, especially today, Wanshu realized this kind of Wanxian almost immediately. Xian is very beautiful.
I am inferior to myself.
Compared with Wanxian, who already has the softness that a woman should have, she is like a hairy girl who has not yet grown up.
But Wanxian, who was preoccupied, didn't realize that Wanshu's eyes were almost critical on her.
"Sister, why are you here at this time?" Wan Shu stood up and said with a smile.
"I just want to see how you are doing. The queen mother is not here, and I am afraid that you have no wound medicine, so I will send you some wound medicine."
The two of them had no injuries on the surface, so it goes without saying where the wound medicine was applied.
Just now when Wanxian went back to freshen up, Concubine Xu Xian saw the injury on her inner thigh, and her heart ached to death.
Girls' delicate and tender leather can't stand the long-term friction of the saddle, especially since they are inexperienced, so they naturally don't know that this part of the trousers should be covered with a layer of flannelette, and it can also be separated, and they have just learned how to ride a horse. If it is not correct, it will naturally hurt.
Originally Wanxian was supposed to stay in the tent to rest, but she was really worried, so she came here.
"I've already given the medicine, but thank you Eldest Sister." Wanshu asked the palace maid to take the medicine, and asked Wanxian to sit down.
The palace maid served tea to Wanxian, and she sipped it in a daze.
Wanshu knew exactly what she was doing here, but she couldn't say it clearly, so they could only drink tea relatively silently.
After drinking tea for a while, it seemed that Wanxian had finally prepared herself mentally, she opened her lips and said, "Wanshu, what do you think of Fu Qing?"
Wan Shu put down the teacup, and said in surprise, "Elder Sister, why did you suddenly ask me this?" Immediately, she seemed to understand something, and looked at Wan Xian with an ambiguous smile, "It seems that Eldest Sister really likes him? "
The word 'he' made Wan Xian blush, and murmured: "Didn't you already know..."
Yes, Wanshu already knew.
Wanchan didn't force Wanxian's thoughts out, on the contrary, she was forced out by Wanshu in private later. It is not easy for Wanxian to express her mother's thoughts clearly, because the girl is easy to be shy, and Wanshu pushes her tightly, so she conceals her thoughts.
In fact, the so-called talk of thoughts means that after looking at the small portrait of Fu Qing, I think it seems to be pretty good. Wanshu naturally understood, and even said with sisterhood that she would help her when the time came. This is why the two of them sang and pulled Wanwei together before, and even wanted to go inside.
They originally had the idea of meeting Fu Qing by chance, but who knew that the reality was far beyond their estimation, and such a thing would happen. Fortunately, it was a mistake in the end. Not only did nothing happen, but I ran into Fu Qing by chance.
Originally Wanxian was quite grateful to Wanshu in her heart, but on the way back she felt something unusual.
If Wanshu is helping her, why does she always want to talk to Fu Qing
Mostly because of the intuition that women have, Wanxian felt that Wanshu's behavior made her feel particularly uncomfortable. She wondered if she was thinking too much... But she felt really uncomfortable, so she secretly came to find Wanshu behind Concubine Xu Xian's back , I just wanted to ask what Wanshu was thinking.
But obviously, with her current face, she couldn't ask such a question face to face.
Wanshu didn't seem to see Wanxian's entanglement, and said with a smile: "However, Fu Qing is indeed a young hero, completely different from other honorable children of the same age. Look at his companions before, they are completely his foil. At the age of six, you can fight a violent male bear. This strength is not possessed by ordinary adult men. Eldest sister, you are blessed."
Originally, Wanxian was very disturbed when she heard the previous words, but when Wanshu's voice changed, the last words made her feel a lot more at ease.
"Really? You think he's nice too?" While asking, she fixed her eyes on Wan Shu.
Wanshu raised her eyes and looked directly at her, "Naturally it's good, the person Eldest Sister likes, can it be good?"
Only then did Wanxian feel relieved, sat for a while, and left in a hurry.
After she left, Wan Shu sat alone for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking.
When Zong Yue and the others came back in the evening, they realized that something had happened to their eldest sister.
Needless to say, the two brothers are concerned.
Zong Qian also said that if he let the eldest sister follow him in the future, he would definitely be able to protect the eldest sister. This made Zong Yuewan and Pan'er laugh.
Because he learned of Fu Qing's bravery from Wan Rong's mouth, Zong Qian admired people with strong martial arts the most. At the bonfire banquet afterwards, he got close to Fu Qing's side, and Fu Qing agreed to take him with him tomorrow. Let's go hunting together.
Because of the two bears, today's hunting Fu Qing is meaningless to be the first name.
You must know that even if you go deep into the abdomen, you will rarely meet a bear, let alone two at a time.
Originally, Fu Qing was unwilling to accept it. After all, he was able to hunt these two bears without the concerted efforts of everyone, but Zhao Chen and others had no face to fight with him, and the guards also felt that he had the greatest contribution. , the two bears were assigned to his name.
This time, Fu Qing became famous in one fell swoop. Before that, because he was underage, and because the Duke of Jin always kept a low profile, he was unknown in Beijing. I am afraid that after this time, everyone in Beijing will know that there is such a person.
He is really a boy born of a hero, worthy of being the son of the Duke of Jin.
The next day was hunting as usual.
Originally, Pan'er planned to keep Wanrong by her side today, but she didn't know that Wanrong would not do it, so she insisted on going hunting with Zong Yue and the others. She heard that Fu Qing would be with him today, and Zong Cong said that he would send more guards, so she agreed.
Zong Cong also went hunting.
Accompanied by some royal relatives and honorable ministers, yesterday he made an exception to accompany Pan'er for a day. On such an occasion, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is indispensable.
All kinds of banquets in the palace and even spring hunting and autumn hunting are actually convenient for the emperor and his courtiers to bond with each other, and even to show kindness, so this kind of thing is naturally unavoidable.
After Pan'er sent them away, she chatted with Concubine Hu Shu and the others, and went back to sleep in the tent for a day. She didn't come out of the tent until evening when people came back one after another.
Today Zong Yue and the others returned with a full load.
In fact, they caught a lot of prey yesterday, but it was not as good as today. Not only did Fu Qing join the team today, but also Zhao Chen and the others.
Zhao Chen and Song Ming's noble children were from noble backgrounds, they were still underage, and they didn't have the idea of becoming famous. It's not bad to be able to follow Fu Qing's side and have a sense of presence next to the two princes.
Once the team expands, there will naturally be more prey.
In particular, Zhao Chen and the others always make appointments to go hunting and outing. They know how to play, there are many ways to play, and they are cheerful and amusing. All in all, today's hunting process is very pleasant, and everyone's faces never faded.
Including Fu Qing, who never liked to laugh, was amused by Song Ming and Zhao Chen many times. Not to mention Zong Qian, clamoring to be together tomorrow.
The bonfire banquet was divided into two groups.
The men dialed, and the female relatives dialed.
However, the space is limited and not very far apart. There are two campfires between the two sides.
Just now Wanxian heard Zongqian's words from a distance, but because of her identity as a woman, she... was not easy to go forward, so she saw the woman Wanwei who was among them.
"Wanrong, are you still going hunting tomorrow?"
After hearing her words, both Wanshu and Wanchan looked at Wanyu who was sitting beside her, shaving the deer's legs with a knife and eating.
Wanrong is really an outlier among this group of female relatives. Even if other people eat these roasted meats, they are all prepared by others and cut into thin strips or small pieces. Even some female family members are reluctant to eat it because they think it is fishy. It can't be seen on the surface, but the things placed in front of them have not been moved.
She was fine, probably because she was really hungry after going out to hunt today, so she started to eat after sitting down, completely forgetting herself.
But no one questioned it, and they didn't see their own mother sitting on it. Besides, it is well known that the fifth princess is favored, so no matter what people think in their hearts, at least no one dares to question it on the surface.
"It depends on the situation, we should still go." Wanrong said after swallowing the venison in her mouth.
"Then Fu Qing is still with you?"
Wanrong blinked suspiciously, and immediately pretended to understand.
"Big sister, are you asking about my cousin? According to Fu Qing's seniority, he should be our cousin. Although it is not necessarily called that, I still think it is better to be called cousin. Besides, I don't know if my cousin will go. .”
This sentence immediately choked Wanxian, and Wanshu's face was not very good-looking. Wanchan next to her bowed her head and smiled, and called the maid who served the meal, and asked her to pour a cup of tea for Wanyu.
"Wanrong, you have eaten so much greasy food, drink some tea and go to remove the oil."
"Thank you, Third Sister."
