After hearing this, Jiang Ying waited for everyone to leave and then quickly entered the space.
It is easier to fall asleep in it, and the sleep time of one incense stick can reach up to two hours.
Sure enough, when Huang Mingquan came to urge him personally, Jiang Ying opened the door and looked energetic.
If you don’t know, you might think she was performing some evil magic to absorb yang and replenish yin!
"I have delayed the time due to my oversleeping. Eunuch Huang can go back and report now." Yan Zhuo smiled and took the responsibility for delaying the troops.
Eunuch Huang was very smart. He looked between the two of them for a few times, but he saw through it but didn't say anything. "No problem. It didn't take long. Besides, the emperor knows that Madam Jiang went to treat the Duke last night. If the hunting hadn't been done at an auspicious time, it would have been reasonable to let Madam Jiang rest for half an hour."
After saying that, he happily accepted the reward from Siyudi and left. Xiaoxuanzi, who followed behind him, even turned around and winked at Jiang Ying mischievously.
Jiang Ying naturally knew that Huang Mingquan was just saying nice things. Every autumn hunt was a big event for the royal family, foreshadowing a good harvest in autumn and good weather and peace in the future.
That is why Qin 꽭监 specially calculated an auspicious time for the opening ceremony.
——Usually the emperor would give an inspiring speech, then offer prizes of varying sizes for the hunt, and finally the emperor would shoot the first arrow, and the hunt would be on its way.
Jingshan was the royal hunting ground, where some wild animals were often raised. Common pheasants, spotted deer, jackals and leopards were not common, but large animals such as tigers, lions and bears were not common.
But these beasts are too powerful and easy to get hurt.
For example, Yan Zhuo, who has practiced martial arts, archery and riding skills, has become the best, so beating a tiger or a lion is no problem for him, but many children of aristocratic families are all show and no substance.
Don't fail to catch the prey and turn yourself into the prey, that would be ugly...
The main task of the royal hunting activities is to improve the relationship between the monarch and his subjects and select talents, not to kill the son of the rich family and cause hatred, so there is no need to raise ferocious beasts.
Hundreds of people climbed the mountain with great effort. This way of climbing the mountain was the same for both high-ranking officials and lowly officials.
Everyone has to rely on their own strength to climb to the largest competition arena at the top of the mountain.
Go to the top of the mountain and the competition venue.
In addition to the emperor's tent in the center, there were many other tents, large and small, around it for the female relatives who came with them to rest and watch.
Not everyone who came had to be on the scene, and most officials had their children follow suit, so that their old men wouldn't embarrass themselves by being on the scene.
What's more, some people are just civil servants and don't rely on their martial arts to make a living.
After allocating tents to each family, everyone sat down to rest and drink some tea, while Huang Mingquan led the team to check the list of participants.
Generally, once you have registered, you are not allowed to change it at will. Of course, if you are sick or there is an emergency, such as accidentally breaking your leg, you can still ask for leave or change to other brothers.
Just as Huang Mingquan was walking past the Jiang family tent with the blueprint in his hand, Jiang Ying took a quick glance and saw Yan Zhuo's name prominently listed as the first one!
She glanced into the tent and found that the monkey was playing with Siyu and the others, not paying attention to this place. She lowered her voice and said to Yan Zhuo, "Your son has relied on hunting to turn things around all his life. You must not kill a few more prey this time to convince him, or he will become a little devil and be ignored."
"Ying'er is right. I must achieve good results this time no matter what. Not only to establish my authority in front of my son, but also for the sake of my bet."
What to bet on?
Jiang Ying had no idea and subconsciously gave him a questioning look, but at this moment, Huang Mingquan waved for Xiaoxuanzi, who was carrying the tray, to come over.
"My Lord, Madam Jiang, the Jiang family also wants to go to the venue. I came to ask, are you ready?"
King Mo looked energetic and there seemed to be no problem, so Huang Mingquan was too lazy to ask any more questions.
The Jiang family reported Jiang Yi and Jiang Lang. Jiang Yichen was good at studying but average at martial arts, and he was not interested in martial arts.
As for Jiang Yuyi, as a general on the march, he would be laughed at if he did not sign up for a competition of this level, so he had to participate.
Jiang 꽮朗 has been studying hard since Sun Bo's lawsuit, and has achieved considerable results. However, he has to cover for Jiang 꽮奕 this time, as the saying goes, brothers of one mind can achieve great things.
Not only the Jiang family, many descendants of other families also form a group. Even two or three surnames form a group because of marriage contracts or family relationships.
After all, this is a good opportunity to show up in front of the emperor and various powerful officials.
"Eunuch Huang, my brothers and I have already made preparations and will not ask for leave." Jiang Yuyi stood up and said.
He looked into the Lu family's tent not far away, looking for the charming red figure.
Jiang 꽮臣 held a book in his hand and muttered to himself, "Then I will write some cheering words for my eldest brother and third brother later."
It's like a school athletic meet on campus. A family has front-line athletes and back-up support.
This cheering phrase was written by fans to encourage their own players.
In the future, whoever writes the most brilliant words to cheer others up can also win the emperor's favor and reward. Of course, the value of the words is average, but for the ladies, it is also a rare opportunity.
By writing colorful words to cheer the emperor, empress or queen mother, she could get a word of praise, which would be of great benefit to a woman's marriage.
Otherwise, what would so many young ladies be doing in such a deep mountain and old forest?
It's just a chance to go out on weekdays. Why don't you watch the handsome guy when you can watch the hunt? Besides, where did the title of the four talented ladies in Beijing come from? Isn't it just like this!
At the door of the Mu family's tent, which was separated by several tents, Mu Wanbai was surrounded by several ladies, and they were talking about this matter of livening up the atmosphere.
"Wanbai, you wrote a very good speech to cheer people up last time, and even got praise from the Princess Qin. Now that you and Miss Su are two talented women here, we definitely don't have a chance to succeed."
"Well, Wanbai, I heard that the Queen of Qin really likes you and has asked the Baoshan clan to propose marriage to her son, right? This time, your brothers from the Mu family are asked to be kind to Yanshan. Are you going to help your brothers or your future husband?"
The little girls were laughing and joking, having a great time. But Mu Wanbai's eyes passed through the walls and fell on the Jiang family's tent.
If she wants to win, the cheering words she writes will definitely be a hundred or a thousand times better than Jiang Ying's!
She was unwilling to be abandoned by Jiang Yuchen and became even more envious of Jiang Ying.
Both of them married the sons of the king, so why did she marry the second son, Yanshan, while Jiang Ying suddenly turned into a phoenix and became the princess?
Even a child born from a concubine's marriage can be immediately named the crown prince!
How could this make her feel comfortable?
Mu Wanbai's gaze was too aggressive. Jiang Ying frowned and looked in her direction, just in time to see her pulling Mu Zijin with a meaningful smile on her lips, and she seemed to deliberately raise the volume.
"You are right. Recently, the Mu family has received several waves of matchmakers. However, I am the Mu family's legitimate daughter, so my mother will always give me a lot of consideration.
But Zijin is different.
She is a concubine's daughter, and she doesn't have to be the head of the family when she marries, so my father and mother said that they would definitely choose a good family for Zijin in advance, preferably one where she would not have to worry about food and clothing and could enjoy a happy life directly after she married. "
What he said obviously has some truth to it!
What kind of family doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and doesn't need the mother to worry about it?
That must be a businessman!
꺗 said "direct enjoyment", what does it mean to enjoy happiness? Children and grandchildren around your knees!
So what Mu Wanbai meant was that Mu Da (Mu Fu) wanted to arrange a rich old man for Mu Zijin so that she could make use of her status as a concubine's daughter!
