Two weeks later, the spring hunt officially began. Nan Zhiyun was the highest-ranking person among the accompanying personnel.
Her carriage was right behind Yu Jingchen's, and its luxury level was second only to Yu Jingchen's. However, compared to the imperial carriage, Nan Zhiyun's carriage still looked much more shabby.
"The road is bumpy, let's rest for a while before continuing. Go and call Consort Shu over," Yu Jingchen said to Xing.
Xinglai silently rolled her eyes. Didn't you used to complain about the slow pace and keep rushing along the way? Now you've become all pampered…
Despite her complaints, Xinglai obediently went to deliver the message. When Nan Zhiyun arrived, Yu Jingchen was making tea.
Fortunately, Lai lifted the carriage curtain for Nan Zhiyun. Nan Zhiyun looked inside and met Yu Jingchen's smiling eyes.
"You're here? Come on up." The moment Yu Jingchen saw Nan Zhiyun, his eyes softened considerably.
Nan Zhiyun was helped into the carriage, and Yu Jingchen extended his hand to her, then led her to sit down beside him.
"Have a cup of hot tea." Yu Jingchen handed the freshly brewed tea to Nan Zhiyun.
"Your Majesty, this place is so big." Nan Zhiyun glanced at Yu Jingchen's carriage, which was more than twice the size of her own. The furnishings inside were also very luxurious, with thick velvet carpets on the floor. Of course, what Nan Zhiyun didn't know was that Yu Jingchen's carriages were never like this before; this was the only time.
"If you like it, why don't you come with me on this carriage ride all the way?" Yu Jingchen had prepared this especially for her, and now that he saw that Nan Zhiyun liked it, he was satisfied.
"Okay," Nan Zhiyun couldn't wait to stay here. It looked so comfortable, and she wouldn't feel dizzy. Plus... there were so many grapes here. Nan Zhiyun picked one up and put it in her mouth.
Yu Jingchen patted her head skillfully, letting her lean against him, his face full of doting affection.
The other concubines naturally knew that Nan Zhiyun had gone to the Emperor's sedan chair, but they didn't dare to do anything rashly. Only...
"Su Baolin, you should go back. His Majesty is not available to see you right now." Xinglai looked at Su Qianyan in front of him, somewhat speechless. Why did she have to come up here to cause trouble?
“Eunuch Xing, this concubine has only come to pay her respects to His Majesty. Please be lenient with me…” As Su Baolin spoke, a maidservant behind him stepped forward and stuffed a packet of silver into Xing Lai’s hand. How could Xing Lai dare to accept it? If he did, he would surely lose his head. Besides, he didn’t even care about such a small amount of silver.
"Su Baolin, please don't make things difficult for this servant. This servant has no choice. His Majesty will not see anyone," Xinglai said, inwardly rolling his eyes. Was he courting death?
Fortunately, Su Qianyan had gotten to his temper, but Su Baolin was completely oblivious to his feelings, so what could he do?
"Su Baolin, His Majesty will not see you now, please leave." Xinglai's expression turned somewhat indifferent.
"Eunuch Xing, no matter what, I am a Baolin appointed by His Majesty. Aren't you going too far? You haven't even informed His Majesty, so how do you know he doesn't want to see me?" Su Qian's tone was unfriendly. Today, she was wearing a scarlet dress, which made her appear much more flamboyant.
Xinglai was almost laughing in anger at her. Oh well, if she wanted to die, he couldn't very well stop her.
