Chapter 382: A Tiger Father Like a Dog Son
This sounds like a good idea. Before coming, Jia Jia specifically asked to bring Xiao Ma over.
So, the pearls and gems were led to the enclosure.
"Okay, okay, chasing roe deer sounds like a good idea." Sun Ling'er was eager to try and clapped happily.
This time, Liuyun and Liuying were brought along. Originally, they were only allowed to bring one maid, as the higher-ups had certain regulations regarding the restrictions on lower-level personnel.
Therefore, Liuying was brought here as Sun Ling'er's maid.
On the first night, everyone rested well and felt full of energy, and got up early the next morning.
Su Wan happily put on her riding clothes and braided her hair into many small braids at the back of her head.
She was dressed in Mongolian grassland style and a red riding suit, which made her lips and teeth look even redder and whiter, making her look as bright as the wind.
She stood in the crowd, and the emperor and the princes were ready to go.
The most eye-catching thing is the emperor's bright yellow armor, which represents the majesty of the emperor.
They were going to a large game enclosure, so the first group to leave were all men.
Jiang Yu was also in the team, and he stood out particularly because of the mask he was wearing.
The women who were going hunting were in the second group and were also protected by special troops.
"Today, let's see who can hunt the most prey. I'll give you a generous reward. Let's go!"
The emperor seemed to be in high spirits. He cracked his whip and gave an order, and everyone rode their horses into the paddock.
Dust flew up, and the ground beneath the horses' hooves was shaking.
After the team set off, Su Wan followed the ladies to pay a visit to the queen.
The queen had a courtyard where she and the two ladies had a banquet, and dancers were performing.
Let's have some tea and chat first.
In such scenes, the atmosphere is quite harmonious, with everyone laughing constantly. Most of the people are focused on praising the ladies.
Su Wan was rather transparent. She didn't say anything and just sat in the back in a daze. After sitting for a while, she went back.
The hunting team had not returned yet. Su Wan had just returned to the tent and found Sun Ling'er sitting there bored.
"Wanwan, you're finally back!"
Su Wan went out for a social event, and she was left alone in the tent, feeling extremely bored.
Su Wan came back early because she thought she was alone here, but her sister-in-law couldn't leave early, so she had to stay with her.
"I'm back to accompany you. Let's wait patiently. We can go out and play in the afternoon."
Not long after I came back, someone came. It was the senior palace maid beside Concubine Chen.
Su Wan was a little surprised when he heard that it was the imperial concubine's people who came.
"Greetings to Princess Xuanle." As soon as the person came in, he bowed to her respectfully.
"No need to be so polite. Does the imperial concubine have anything to ask me?" she asked directly.
"It's nothing. Her Majesty just noticed you looked listless at the banquet and left early, so she sent this servant to ask if you have a poor appetite. If you are not feeling well, please send someone to tell her so that Her Majesty can send the imperial physician to see you. There are too many people in the enclosure, and there are only a few imperial physicians. If they can send the imperial physician through us, they can see you as soon as possible without any delay."
Concubine Chen actually paid so much attention to her. She could see that she was listless even when she was hiding in the back. She even specially sent someone to greet her. What did this mean?
As far as she could remember, she had only met the imperial concubine once, on the day of the enthronement ceremony, and they had no contact since then.
It's definitely not the case that they are familiar with each other. She and Murong Huai are not familiar with each other on the surface. It can't be because of Murong Huai.
What is that?
Forget it, don’t think about it for now, just send him away first.
"I'm fine. I just woke up too early this morning and I'm a little tired. Thank you, Imperial Concubine, for taking the trouble. Please thank her for me, Auntie."
"I'm glad you're okay. I can go back and report now." She smiled appropriately and bowed to Su Wan.
Su Wan casually took off a jade bracelet from his wrist and put it in her hand.
"Aunt Lao, thank you for making this special trip."
The thing had been stuffed into her hand, and the aunt did not refuse, but accepted it calmly.
Su Wan walked her out of the tent and watched her leave.
I returned to the tent, still unable to figure out why this happened.
Sun Ling'er also felt strange, so she gossiped:
"Wanwan, I didn't expect you and Concubine Chen are so familiar with each other? She even specially asked someone to look after you."
"Maybe it's because His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince has a good relationship with my third brother, so he paid special attention to me!"
This was the only relationship Su Wan could think of.
…
The team returned before noon with a great harvest. It was said that the ones who hunted the most today were the fifth prince Murong Sheng and the prince of Jiang.
The fifth prince hunted a lot, but Prince Jiang killed a bear on his own, personally took out the bear's gall and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor was very pleased and praised the prince for having the demeanor of the young Duke.
Jiacheng also did very well today and brought back a few rabbits.
The places where the girls went only had these small prey, but she brought back five rabbits, which made her the best, the best among the noble ladies.
The Queen Mother gave her a purple jade agate hairpin as a reward.
Jiacheng ran to Su Wan with the reward, so happy.
At this moment, everyone is standing here to welcome the return of the emperor. The paddock is crowded with people and horses.
After Jiang Yu was praised, he really received a wave of praise.
He killed a bear by himself, which is something that most people cannot do. Duke Jiang was also praised by his colleagues.
Something like "The Duke has taught well" and "A good father will have a good son". Duke Jiang smiled in agreement, which was rare, and he looked very proud.
Jiang Yu took Anan through the crowd and walked towards Su Wan. Jiacheng and Sun Ling'er stood beside her, each with a meaningful smile on their face.
Anan was holding a cage in his hand, and there seemed to be a little white creature inside.
When they were about to come over, a red figure suddenly appeared, blocking their view.
I don’t know which noble lady she is, but she is also wearing a crimson riding suit, but it’s not as good-looking as Su Wan’s.
"Who is this?" Sun Ling'er's face fell.
Jiacheng carefully identified it and then replied:
"It seems to be the daughter of Shunde Marquis, Zhong Lier."
Su Wan was not unfamiliar with this name. It had come from Gu Yue's mouth before. It was the daughter-in-law that was rumored to be favored by Duke Jiang.
The smile on her face fell. She didn't know what they were saying over there, and she couldn't hear clearly because there were too many people.
So, she silently took a few steps forward to eavesdrop. This little action looked so adorable in the eyes of Sun Ling'er and Jiacheng.
Looking from the side, Zhong Lier was smiling shyly. Jiang Yu was wearing a mask so his expression could not be seen. He stood there with his hands behind his back, listening quietly, but he still couldn't hear what was being said. He only saw Jiang Yu's thin lips opening and closing, but no one knew what he was saying.
Su Wan crossed his arms, sneered, then turned and left.
After walking a few steps, she ran into Shen Qingli who came looking for her.
