Five days later, the annual royal hunting event began.
Despite being sick, Lin Jiayan insisted on going with them.
In the harem, there are only a handful of concubines who can go to the hunting ground.
Only the four concubines and the concubines with princes and princesses can have this honor.
Normally, other women should not be present at such an event, but Duke Lin was determined to bring his entire family along.
In order to appease the wife of Duke Lin, who was almost sick from anger, Emperor Wenkang agreed to Duke Lin's request and made an exception to allow the families of some officials to go with him.
Even Yu Zexiu, who was still under house arrest, was called out by an imperial decree from Emperor Wenkang.
When Yu Churan heard the news, he almost broke the cup in his hand.
Her father, the emperor, really loved his good son. He said he would be under house arrest for a month, but he was released after only five days.
Ever since he decided to fight for that position, Yu Churan no longer felt awe towards Emperor Wen Kang, and only treated him as an ordinary father.
Lin Jiayan didn't say anything after hearing this. He just took the black medicine in his hand and drank it all in one gulp, without even eating malt sugar to remove the bitterness.
She needs to drink three bowls of medicine in her hand every day, and she doesn't know when her body will be restored.
Lin Jiayan was not disappointed with Emperor Wen Kang, as he had long been accustomed to this kind of thing.
Lin Jiayan had already seen it from the previous incident with Concubine Qian.
Even if she was the emperor's first wife, to his favorite son, she was nothing but an insignificant person.
Now, Lin Jiayan only focuses on Yu Churan.
Ranran is so blessed because of the smoke coming out of the ancestral tomb of her Lin family. What does it have to do with your Yu family?
However, when she thought of the oath that Ranran and the fairy had made, she felt warm in her heart. It really was not in vain that she had loved her daughter for so many years.
After Lin Jiayan met with Duke Lin that day, he learned that Ranran had actually taken the risk to ask the fairy for medicine.
And the medicine she asked for was the one that could heal her body.
At that time, Lin Jiayan was almost scared to death and wanted to apologize to the fairy immediately.
Ranran is really a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. He even dares to ask the gods for medicine.
But the fairy not only did not let her confess her crime, but also agreed to Ranran's request.
The fairy said that this medicine was not given for free and Ranran had to pay a price to obtain it.
The price was that Ranran had to hunt no less than five animals on the hunting ground.
And no one else can help Ranran, it must be hunted by Ranran himself.
Ranran agreed immediately and returned to the Lin family these few days to prepare for hunting.
Lin Jiayan was deeply moved by Yu Churan's filial piety and became even more disgusted with Emperor Wen Kang.
As a result, the matter of seeing the princess for Yu Zexiu was also put on hold.
Lin Jiayan thought, since the emperor likes this son so much, you can worry about the princess's affairs yourself!
She is still sick and there is no way she would worry about such things for others.
But Ranran did tell her that day that during the Qiqiao Festival, Yu Zexiu was accompanied by a woman, which was rare.
That woman was the seventh daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty.
The wife of Marquis Zhongyi was a good friend of Lin Jiayan before he got married. Over the years, thanks to her support, the Marquis Zhongyi did not make the concubine his wife.
Otherwise, considering Marquis Zhongyi's concern for the concubine, his friends don't know what will happen now.
When Lin Jiayan learned about this, he sent someone to the Marquis' Mansion to convey the imperial decree and have the person enter the palace.
No one knew how long the two of them talked, but all we knew was that after the marquis' wife returned, she immediately threw the matter of finding a marriage partner for the seventh young lady to the Marquis of Loyalty.
She also announced that she would no longer be involved in the marriages of these concubines' daughters.
Lin Jiayan wanted to see whether Yu Zexiu and Yu Dan could still be together without her and her friends' involvement.
If a concubine's daughter wants to become a princess, the emperor will not agree even if she doesn't do anything.
Even if Yu Zexiu could not ascend the throne in the future, no princess was born to a concubine, not to mention that this woman was an extremely arrogant person in the past.
Now that Ranran has found her destiny, Lin Jiayan no longer wants to worry about such matters. Isn't Yupin most afraid that she will take action against Yu Zexiu's marriage? Then let her worry about it herself!
Lin Jiayan can now finally enjoy the blessing of having a daughter.
Who says women are inferior to men? Isn’t her daughter Ranran inferior to others?
Lin Jiayan's face was about to break from laughing. When she thought about her daughter being favored by the immortal, she wished she could be poisoned again.
When she got back, she went to discuss with her parents that the ancestral tomb needed to be repaired, as it must have been already filled with smoke.
...........
The time to set off had arrived. Lin Jiayan, dressed in comfortable clothes, got on the carriage with the help of Nanny Lin.
They were going to the hunting grounds and were expected to return in ten days.
More than twenty carriages set out from the palace gate at the same time and slowly drove towards the hunting ground. Emperor Wenkang changed his usual behavior and rode his horse himself, leading Yu Zexiu and others to set off first.
The hunting ground was half a day's distance from Nanyang City. The group set out early in the morning and arrived around noon.
When Lin Jiayan and his group arrived here, Emperor Wen Kang had already returned on horseback.
Yu Churan jumped out of the carriage nervously and walked towards Lin Jiayan holding Lin Jinxia's hand.
Today she wore a short jacket with a stand-up collar and apricot blossom pattern made of gold thread, a Xiangfei-colored horse-faced skirt, and a simple hairpin in her hair.
Yu Churan had been eagerly anticipating the hunt for the past few days. Today, she was sure to fulfill her promise to Sister Xin.
Lin Jinxia wore clothes similar to Yu Churan's today. Thanks to Yu Churan, she was also tortured to death these past two days.
She couldn't understand why her cousin was working so hard. Was she trying to satisfy her desire to hunt with her own hands?
Seeing that most people had arrived, Lin Jiayan led them to meet Emperor Wen Kang.
The area around the hunting ground had already been cleared, and several tents had been set up outside for the women to rest temporarily. Not far from the tents was a high platform.
The platform overlooks the situation inside the enclosure, where Emperor Wen Kangdi will begin watching this year's hunt.
Those who excel will be rewarded.
If someone unfortunately dies, some compensation will also be given.
Before the hunt began, Emperor Wen Kangdi gave some motivational speeches as usual, then announced the prize for this year's hunting jackpot, and finally gave an order to announce the start of the hunt.
A group of officials and their families knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the emperor".
They are all people who will participate in the hunting later, so naturally they have to behave better at this time.
Maybe I'll be lucky this year and it's not impossible for me to win the jackpot prepared by the emperor.
