Around noon, we finally arrived at the Taran enclosure.

It was the first time Shen Heng had seen armored soldiers wielding halberds. These were the emperor's imperial guards, standing every ten steps, and all of them were handsome. Nearby, many sword-wielding imperial guards were lined up in formation, their armor gleaming coldly in the sunlight, their aura intimidating.

Many officials' wives and adults got off the carriages. Some of them knew each other and walked in a group.

There are white tents all around, standing like yurts.

Seeing Chen Heng looking around with curiosity, Xie Jian pointed to a forest and said, "The hunting grounds are to the south of that forest. The royal family's camp is stationed over there."

"It's so far, what are we doing here?" Shen Heng was curious.

Xie Jian looked at her helplessly: "Handling official business." The hunting trip lasted five days. During these five days, the people playing were from higher-ups. As a low-level subordinate, it was natural for them to work hard and be willing to do so.

Chen Heng suddenly realized that as someone who had worked before, she understood very well and said, "Then can I go play over there?"

"Of course, I came here just to have fun with you." Xie Jian didn't want to restrain her, and Ah Heng wasn't someone who would cause trouble.

Just when Chen Heng looked excited, Meng Xuanlang said, "The teacher is here."

Everyone looked over and saw Lu Ji'an and Tang Xingxing coming together.

The two men were of similar height, both wearing official robes, and both exuded the aura of power. Shen Heng noticed that the color of Lord Lu's official robe had become darker.

"Master, Lord Tang." Everyone came forward and saluted.

"Master, now that you have been promoted to the Minister of Personnel, you can please treat us as guests." Wu Jin smiled.

Lu Ji'an smiled faintly: "Well, I'll go to your restaurant to treat you someday."

Xie Jian noticed that Ah Heng's eyes lit up and he smiled when he heard that the Master had been promoted. So happy? He also had to work hard to get promoted.

Tang Xingxing's eyes fell on Xie Jian. Thinking of what Xie Jian had said, he felt uneasy for some reason. Once when he had a headache, some vague images that had never appeared before flashed through his mind.

She didn't know if it was her own illusion, but Chen Heng always felt that the teacher had become much colder towards her. In the past, he would definitely look at her with a smile when talking to her, but today he didn't even look at her. Instead, it was the eldest brother of the Xie family who smiled at her.

However, Shen Heng was now attracted by the surroundings: "Ajian, I'll go over there and take a look."

"Be careful."

"Hey." Chen Heng said as she bowed to the Master and Tang Zixing and was about to leave.

Qiu Yi also bowed and left.

"Is Madam Shen alone?" Tang Zixing suddenly asked.

"yes."

"If you don't mind, go and play with my wife. She'll be able to take care of you." Tang Zixing saw Shen Heng was stunned and said with a smile, "My wife has a gentle personality and will definitely get along well with Madam Shen."

He liked Xie Jian and Xie Min very much, and he also loved the Xie family as well. If possible, he would visit them often.

"I won't bother Madam Tang anymore. Qiu Yi is here to keep me company." It was obvious that Tang Zixing liked Yu Shixu very much. Shen Heng glanced at Xie Jian and saw that he was smiling slightly without revealing any emotion at all. He was really getting better and better at hiding his emotions.

After the summer solstice, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

But the forest breeze here is very cool.

"Why are there so many horses?" Chen Heng saw a dozen palace servants leading horses past and wondered, "Are they going to have a horse race?"

"Yes. The first day of hunting is the horse race. Madam Shen, do you want to go and watch it?"

"Let's go." Chen Heng lifted her skirt and happily walked towards the racecourse.
