Chapter 121 Winter Hunt
Just as the old princess was about to knock on the door, Nanny Jiang stopped her and said, "Be careful not to scare the prince. Men shouldn't be startled at this time. If they can't do it in the future, the princess will dislike them..."
"..." The old princess's face darkened. "If his in-laws find out, he won't be able to get close to Zijin for months!"
"No, and the princess is well taken care of and in good condition, so it is inevitable that she will have greater needs in that area. Your Highness just needs to know the importance of it."
The old princess thought about it and realized that she also seemed to like pestering Xiao Xuanyue during her pregnancy...
He could only sigh and go to the ancestral hall.
The two people in the room turned around at the same time, their eyes met, and awkward sparks flew.
Song Zijin bit Xiao Linyuan's shoulder hard, "It's all your fault!"
How embarrassing...
After returning to Beijing, she had not met or spoken to the old princess yet. She was still hesitating about what attitude to use to break the ice with the old princess. Now, she was laughed at before she even had a chance to meet her.
Xiao Linyuan pecked the corner of her lips, his eyes filled with smiles, "Mother won't tell anyone about this~"
"..." Song Zijin stopped moving to express his protest.
Xiao Linyuan raised his eyebrows, "Do you know what Mother and Nanny Jiang were whispering about just now?"
Song Zijin pouted and didn't answer. How could she, a mortal, hear clearly?
"Madame Jiang said that if you suddenly stop while doing this, it will make a man feel suffocated!"
"Nonsense!" How come she didn't know there was such a saying?
"Is it because you know too little about the male body? You want to explore it deeply, huh?"
His voice was so charming and pleasant that just by listening to it, a warm current flowed through Song Zijin's body.
Xiao Linyuan glanced down, a hint of cunning appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he acted maliciously and shook it lightly.
“Hmm—”
Song Zijin once again softened into a puddle of water, her weak and innocent little hands clinging to his shoulders, passively swimming in the clouds with him.
…
The old princess is serious.
Not only was Song Zijin not allowed to visit her father every morning and evening, she was also not allowed to manage the household, and no outsiders were allowed to enter Ruifeng Courtyard to avoid disturbing her.
I wish I could worship her like a porcelain doll.
This actually made Song Zijin feel relieved. It was impossible for her and the old princess to resolve their differences in one day. If they saw each other less often, she would have time to get used to it.
Luo Qingtang knew that her daughter's pregnancy was stable and she didn't want to move into the palace so early, but the old princess went to pick her up in a hurry.
I’m afraid that if something goes wrong one day, it will be too late to go to the Song Mansion to look for someone.
Xiao Linyuan brought up the unjust case in the Valley of Divine Doctors and restored the truth. Luo Qingtang no longer had to hide his identity.
Now more people come to Yuli Clinic for treatment.
Liao Yan is probably the happiest one.
He gave up the opportunity to work as the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, expanded the clinic at his own expense, and took the initiative to help Luo Qingtang.
After spending a few days together, Luo Qingtang realized that Liao Yan was a good doctor, so he handed over all the big and small matters to Liao Yan.
I live in the palace most of the time and stay in the clinic for about an hour every day.
…
On the eve of New Year's Day, Xiao Linyuan held a large-scale winter hunt and invited generals from several vassal states.
He urgently needed an occasion to demonstrate his ruling power and military talent, and at the same time show the power of the monarchy to the people and vassal states.
To play a deterrent role.
The biggest difference from the past is that the hunting ground is no longer in the palace, but is actually in the mountains.
Xiao Linyuan didn't want to bring Song Zijin with her, but she was so uncomfortable that she pestered him for three days before he agreed to bring her with him.
However, her carriage moved extremely slowly, stopping and starting frequently. Hundreds of guards simply dismounted and led the horses along. The group arrived at the hunting grounds in a grand procession just as the hunt began.
Fu Yue and Luo Qingtang helped Song Zijin sit on the platform.
The seat cushions had been replaced with finest fox fur in advance to ensure that the Regent Princess would not get cold at all.
The little emperor hurriedly stood up and saluted Song Zijin.
Song Zijin nodded slightly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so rude."
Everyone below was shocked. The emperor even saluted his wife. Isn't this going against Tian Gang?
However, Grand Tutor Chen and Wen Yan were not surprised at all and drank tea calmly.
This is undoubtedly sending an important signal: the little emperor, a puppet emperor, will not be able to remain in power for much longer.
However, it is not difficult to understand. Now, not only the Xiao family army, but also the 100,000 imperial guards are in the hands of the regent. With the three big axes of the right prime minister, the grand tutor, and the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the left prime minister has nothing to do.
As for the throne, it all depends on whether the regent wants it or not.
After Song Zijin sat down, everyone got a glimpse of the Regent Princess's face for the first time.
Her skin is whiter than snow, delicate and smooth, as if it could be blown away, emitting a soft luster, her eyebrows are like distant ink, and her eyes are like autumn water. It is obvious that she is well-pampered.
The plump cheeks due to pregnancy not only do not look ugly, but also add a touch of elegant and luxurious beauty.
It is really as the rumors say, stunningly beautiful and unparalleled in beauty.
With the beauty at the table, the other female members of the family suddenly lost their charm.
No wonder the Regent protected her tightly and didn't allow anyone else to even take a peek at her. If you get a beauty like this, you must hide her.
But no one dared to look at him for too long, as they heard that the Regent was extremely jealous and not someone to be trifled with.
Someone reacted quickly and quickly assigned his wife to go forward and get acquainted with the princess. Soon, Song Zijin was surrounded by everyone.
Some people in the crowd secretly clenched their fists and gritted their teeth in hatred.
Song Zijin suddenly understood why Xiao Linyuan didn't allow her to go to crowded places. She really didn't like the feeling of being the center of attention.
I simply found an excuse and hid in the tent.
As soon as I lay down, I heard someone asking to see me outside.
She guessed they were those ladies of noble birth, so she didn't want to pay any attention to them and pulled the quilt over her face, pretending to be asleep.
Fu Yue came in and said, "Princess, the prince sent someone back with a rabbit. He has already made rabbit soup. The maid from the imperial kitchen brought it to you for you to taste."
Song Zijin slowly pulled down the quilt and was silent for a moment. "Then let's ask her to come in. By the way, Fu Yue, don't you want to go hunting? Ask Chun Sheng to take you there, and let Nian Hong come in to serve you."
Fu Yue jumped for joy and quickly called Nianhong in from outside the door.
The palace maid followed Nianhong in and placed the food box on the table in a proper manner.
"Princess, this was specially made by the prince. Please eat it while it's hot."
Song Zijin sat up, half-closed his eyes, and looked her up and down.
"This princess has a poor appetite today and doesn't want to eat anything greasy. Why don't you take it back and let the people in your imperial kitchen eat it." Song Zijin said in a calm voice.
The maid was anxious, "This is the prince's gift, you can't let him down."
"I accept your kindness, but you can't not eat the food, right?"
"If I bring the food box back intact, the people in the imperial kitchen will definitely laugh at the prince in private, saying that he is suppressed by a woman. The prince has a bright future, and you should not become a burden to him."
Song Zijin laughed and gave Nianhong a wink.
"Empress Lingpin, do you think I'm blind?"
Wang Ling shuddered, and slowly raised her eyes to look at Song Zijin, "You've already noticed, are you kidding me?"
