Chapter 61 Xu Muhua is a person who is used to coaxing people
With the help of Concubine Zhang, Xu Muhua felt relieved.
There was no need to reveal too much to the Fifth Prince. As long as he understood that this autumn hunt was likely to be dangerous, the Fifth Prince would naturally know what to do. Saying too much would make her look suspicious. Concubine
Zhang lived in the harem and knew how to use this better than she did.
After finishing her business, Xu Muhua did not stay with Concubine Zhang for long and quickly stood up to say goodbye.
Concubine Zhang was so angry that she laughed when she saw that she looked like she was going to throw it away. She waved her hand with disgust and asked her to leave quickly so that she would not be upset.
After leaving Concubine Zhang's palace, Wu'er whispered, "Miss, just now I noticed someone following us stealthily. It seemed, it seemed to be the maid of the second young lady..."
Wu'er said this with some worry. Miss and the second young lady were sisters. Would Miss think that she was deliberately trying to sow discord between them?
But she really thought that the person who followed them stealthily was someone close to the second young lady, the maid named Lian Xuan! She recognized that skirt!
"Don't worry about them. We are not going to do anything shady. Concubine Zhang has given me so many gifts before, but I have never formally thanked her. It is not convenient to enter the palace in the capital, but now it is convenient in the temporary palace. What's wrong with me coming here specially to thank her?"
Who dares to say that there is something wrong?
Wu'er nodded. It is true. It is perfectly normal for the young lady to thank Concubine Zhang. Even if the second young lady's people saw them, what can they do?
It's just that the time of thanking is a little too late.
Xu Muhua already knew that Lian Xuan was following behind. If she wants to follow, then let her follow!
"Concubine Zhang? Why is she going to see Concubine Zhang so late?"
Xu Jinyu frowned when she heard Lian Xuan's words, feeling puzzled.
It's already this late, and Xu Muhua is going to see Concubine Zhang?
Until now, Xu Jinyu still can't figure out how Xu Muhua got in touch with Concubine Zhang, and it seems that they have a good relationship. Concubine Zhang is a person that even the sisters in the clan don't have a good face for, but she treats Xu Muhua differently. Is there any special reason?
Xu Jinyu knew that Xu Muhua was good at coaxing people, otherwise she wouldn't have coaxed the people in her family to be so close to her and love her. But people in the palace are not so easy to coax, so she still suspected that something must have happened between Xu Muhua and Concubine Zhang that outsiders didn't know.
It's a pity that she currently has no way to find out.
Xu Muhua would not take Xu Jinyu's little trick to heart, and just wait and see what happens with Concubine Zhang.
After resting in the palace for a night, the autumn hunt officially began the next day.
The hunting ground is still some distance away from the palace. Since everyone is here, except for some people who are unwell and continue to stay in the palace, everyone else is ready to go to the hunting ground. After the emperor announced the start of the autumn hunt and shot the first arrow, everyone's emotions were mobilized and the atmosphere was very lively.
"Muhua, let's go together!"
Pei Shaorong and several girls in riding costumes came over.
Among the girls, there were some that Xu Muhua knew and some that she didn't.
But she still nodded politely to everyone.
Pei Shaorong also knew who she knew and who she didn't know, and took the initiative to introduce them: "Muhua, the one next to me is Yingzhu, she is the daughter of Wu'an Marquis Mansion. This is Mo Ying, she is the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, and this one, Xuehe, she is the daughter of the Vice Minister of Rites." Xu
Muhua certainly knew Wu'an Marquis Mansion, which was not far from Chengguo Mansion.
However, unlike Duke Cheng, Marquis Wu'an is a civil official, and also a close minister to the emperor. So although Duke Cheng has a higher title, his status in the court and in the emperor's heart are really not as good as his. As for
the other two, I haven't had much contact with them before.
Xu Muhua greeted them one by one.
In addition to these three, there are two others that Xu Muhua knows and has had contact with. They are all daughters
of noble families who have a good relationship with Pei Shaorong. In the book, the heroine Pei Shaorong is indeed very popular, and there are many daughters of noble families who are on good terms with her in the capital. After she became the Crown Princess, she did help the Crown Prince a lot through this relationship, not to mention that she later became the Queen.
From ancient times to the present, the diplomacy of ladies cannot be underestimated.
Several girls had little contact with Xu Muhua, but they also knew that she had a good relationship with Pei Shaorong. Although some people looked down on Xu Muhua in their hearts - after all, they all knew that she was not the flesh and blood of Duke Cheng, but was just adopted. But we should not judge by appearances, but by Buddha's. We still have to do our best on the surface.
So everyone seemed very enthusiastic.
"Why don't we form a team? Anyway, we girls don't expect to catch as many preys as men, so let's just have fun."
The speaker was Mo Ying, who had a round face with some baby fat on her face. When she smiled, she had two sweet dimples on her cheeks. Her eyes were also big, and her nose felt a little fleshy. The overall feeling she gave people was cute and sweet.
"That's what I was thinking."
Lu Yingzhu echoed.
The girls made the decision quickly, and Pei Shaorong and Xu Muhua certainly had no objections.
Xu Muhua herself was inexperienced, so she decided to follow Pei Shaorong.
Just as they were getting ready to leave, Xu Jinyu came over and asked, "Sister, can I go with you?"
Xu Muhua did not answer, but looked at them inquiringly.
"Of course you can, it will be more lively with more people, and we can help each other. What do you think?"
Pei Shaorong asked with a smile.
After getting everyone's consent, Xu Jinyu also joined their team. Several women who were like blooming flowers gathered together, and they would become the most beautiful scenery line no matter when and where they were. Not to mention that they all looked good and had good temperament.
In the capital, they had to restrain themselves all the time, behave themselves well, and dare not indulge in the slightest. But now it is different, this is the autumn hunt! It is a rare time for them to let go of their temperament and be free. Several girls temporarily put aside the restraint they had in the capital and laughed.
From time to time, crisp laughter could be heard, spreading in this vast forest, which seemed particularly pleasant to the ears. It easily attracted the attention of many young masters present.
"Who is the woman in the light blue riding suit?"
Xu Muhua was wearing a light blue riding suit today. She rarely attended parties, so not many people knew her.
After hearing this, the eyes of several young men gathered together fell on the girl in the lake blue riding suit. After a long time, someone said uncertainly: "It seems to be the eldest daughter of the Chengguo Mansion."
