Chapter 324

He had seen white fox fur before, but this was the first time he had ever seen a cloak made of white fox fur. Such a precious and rare item had always been used by his father, the emperor.

To receive a reward from the Emperor is an immense honor.

Xia Qianjun and Liu Yurou walked over from the side.

“Mother, the sun is shining a bit outside the palace. Why don’t we take Yanqing and Xiaoxi to play in the courtyard? Children need to see more sun,” Shen Qingnian said to Liu Yurou.

Liu Yurou understood and led the two little ones out.

After the three left the hall, Song Xuan looked at Xia Qianjun and said calmly, "Please ask the goddess to send a message to General Xia, explaining the situation of the past few days."

Behind Xia Qianjun is General Xia, so his target is naturally General Xia as well. The alliance between Shen Zheng and his son with the First Prince is also aimed at General Xia.

Xia Qianjun bowed, took out a letter from her bosom and presented it with both hands. She replied, "After agreeing to form an alliance with Your Majesty, I have already written the letter. Please take a look."

The letter describes the current situation in Chongmeng and mentions that the Emperor of Daxuan intends to recommend the Third Prince. Father will surely consider this carefully upon seeing the letter.

The Xia clan swore allegiance to Chongmeng and to the Chongmeng King. The eldest prince plotted to send her into the Da Xuan harem and even wanted to send her younger sister to Da Xuan. Although her father was furious, he would not refuse.

But if Father knew that the Third Prince had Da Xuan as a supporter, he might agree...

Xia Xiazi stepped forward, took the letter from Xia Qianjun, and handed it to Song Xuan with both hands. The latter unfolded the letter and began to read it.

A moment later, Song Xuan handed the letter back to Xiao Xiazi, saying, "To ensure the safety of the letter, I will send someone to deliver it."

He is the Great Xuan Emperor, and it is both quick and safe for him to personally deliver messages.

Xia Qianjun understood this principle and bowed to express his gratitude.

On the other side.

Inside the Shenman Palace, she unfolded the letter she had just received and examined it carefully.

This is a letter that Shen Zheng from outside the palace sent to her, outlining the things she needs to do next.

She has almost fully recovered these days, but she still suffers from nightmares from time to time at night, which makes her feel listless and somewhat dazed during the day.

After reading the contents of the letter, Shen Man brought over a brazier, lit the letter, and then sighed.

The current situation was something she never expected. She now felt a bit eerie looking at the entire harem. Fortunately, she would be going on an autumn hunt with His Majesty in a few days, which would be a good opportunity to strengthen her relationship with him.

Thinking of this, Shen Man's somewhat dazed gaze gradually focused. She opened the palace door and began to instruct Zi Fei and Zi Yu to prepare the things they would bring for the autumn hunt.

----------

Time quickly came to the day of the autumn hunt.

Before dawn, the entourage for the autumn hunt had already stopped at the entrance of the Golden Hall. Shen Qingnian walked out of the hall, and everyone's face was filled with smiles.

Xiazi had been waiting outside the hall for a long time.

He stepped forward to introduce Shen Qingnian: "Your Highness, His Majesty has specially sent you the largest carriage, which can seat more than five people."

Shen Qingnian brought two little ones, plus Liu Yurou, and Xiaoju, making a total of five people.
