After that, Zhou Qiongyue's days were spent learning horse riding from her fifth brother, and strolling around the horse farm of the Marquis' Mansion with her fifth brother Zhou Zhiquan every day.
In the remaining free time, Zhou Qiongyue called the heads of the two farms and a jewelry shop under her name to her house for a meeting.
In her previous life, she achieved financial freedom through entrepreneurship. Although she has no shortage of money in this life, who would complain about having too much money!
The point is that she has nothing to do all day, and she doesn't want to sit in the house embroidering all day. After thinking about it, she decided to continue earning money!
It is not just talk that says if you have money in your hand, you won’t be worried.
Time flies when there's something to do for Zhou Qiongyue. Soon it's the day before the Spring Hunt, and Zhou Qiongyue will be setting off tomorrow.
This time, the Crown Prince's wife, Jin, will not be going, so Zhou Qiongyue will be leaving with her aunt, the Empress Dowager. So today, Jin was still directing the people in Zhou Qiongyue's room to pack up.
To put it bluntly, Jin was worried about her daughter and wanted to take care of her in this way and that way.
Zhou Qiongyue was in a very good mood as she watched the people busying in and out of her yard. Mainly because she could understand Jin's concern for her.
Zhou Qiongyue was happy, but she still went over and took Jin's hand and acted coquettishly, "Mom, don't worry, I will follow my aunt closely and won't wander around."
Jin reached out and rubbed her daughter's head, and earnestly warned her, "You are not allowed to join in the fun everywhere, understand?"
Zhou Qiongyue nodded quickly, "I promise not to join in the fun and stay in a safe place."
Seeing her daughter's promise, Jin smiled with relief and turned to Caiping, who was standing beside her. Zhou Qiongyue saw Caiping, the head maid beside her mother, handing her mother an exquisite jewelry box with both hands.
Seeing her daughter staring at the box in her hand with great interest, Jin thought her daughter was quite cute. She didn't try to be mysterious and opened it right in front of her daughter.
"Wow, what an exquisite bracelet." Zhou Qiongyue said directly what she was thinking.
Seeing that her daughter liked it, Jin took it out and put it on her, then waved her hand to let the servants around leave.
Zhou Qiongyue repeatedly admired the gold bracelet on her hand. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. "Thank you, mother."
"Silly child, you don't know how to use this bracelet yet! Mother will teach you."
After saying this, Jin pressed the inside of her bracelet under her daughter's surprised gaze. A sharp needle shot out and hit the table next to her.
Zhou Qiongyue was surprised and quickly walked closer to observe. She saw that the needle that had just been shot into the table was completely embedded in the table.
"Mom, this is amazing." Zhou Qiongyue was more shocked than surprised at this moment.
Jin looked at her daughter's silly expression and warned her, "This is a life-saving method given to you by your mother and father. It contains five needles, and you can only activate one at a time. They are all coated with a large amount of drugs. You are not allowed to use it on anyone in the royal family, understand?"
If Zhou Qiongyue had not gone with them on the spring hunt this time, she and the prince would have been afraid that their daughter would be injured by wild beasts while joining in the fun, so they would not have dared to give their daughter such a thing.
Zhou Qiongyue looked at the bracelet on her hand and smiled slyly, "Mom, do you mean it's OK to do it to other people?"
Jin could only pat her daughter's head. "What are you talking about? This is for your self-defense. You are not allowed to use it unless absolutely necessary. Do you understand?"
When Zhou Qiongyue heard her mother say this, she nodded like a chick, afraid that if she was a second late, she would be hit on the head.
"Don't worry, Mom! I won't use it recklessly."
Only then did Jin feel relieved, but then she was afraid that her daughter might hurt herself by mistake, so she carefully explained the mystery to Zhou Qiongyue.
Zhou Qiongyue rested her head on Jin's shoulder and rubbed it, saying affectionately, "Mom, you are so kind. I miss you even before I leave."
Jin felt that she didn't believe her daughter's sweet talk. "Come on! You, a guy who loves the hustle and bustle, are like a mouse falling into a rice jar when you go to the hunting ground. How can you still think of me?"
"Mom, I don't like crowds anymore." Zhou Qiongyue's voice became lower and lower as she spoke. She now likes to join in the fun, mainly because there are no electronic products in this era and she is too bored.
Seeing her daughter's embarrassed look, Jin stopped teasing her and said, "Alright, go to bed early! You can't keep the Empress waiting for you tomorrow. You have to listen to the Empress, okay?"
"Yeah...don't worry, mom." Zhou Qiongyue, an old soul, pretends to be a little daughter, and there is no sense of incongruity.
After her mother, Jin, left, Zhou Qiongyue really had someone help her wash and sleep.
She wanted to go to bed early and get up early, but at this time of year, people are inevitably excited. So Zhou Qiongyue tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
The result was that she didn't fall asleep until dawn, and when she sat in the carriage, she was yawning all the time.
Her carriage followed the carriages of other noble ladies of Yuan'an at the city gate and joined the team. She did not take the initiative to go to the Queen's carriage, mainly because she was in a hurry and it was more convenient to sit in a carriage alone.
Zhou Qiongyue wanted to sleep in the carriage for a while, but it would be inconvenient to go to her aunt's carriage. She had already told her aunt about this and would go up to pay her respects to her aunt when she arrived at the hunting ground.
Gulan saw that although his young lady was yawning, she had no intention of sleeping. She even lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked at it with great interest.
She opened the small table in the carriage, and placed the snacks and dried meat that had been prepared in advance in the carriage, as well as a pot of milk tea made with tea leaves and almonds according to the lady's request.
"Miss, please eat something first."
Zhou Qiongyue thought about the experience in her memory. She usually arrived when it was almost dark. "Well, I know. You don't have to worry about me. You can take a nap first. We still have a long way to go!"
Last night happened to be Gulan's night on guard, so I didn't sleep well. Gulan must have been sleepy too.
Gulan knew that the young lady was doing this for his own good, so he did not refuse. He leaned back in the corner of the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.
Zhou Qiongyue slowly gnawed on various dried meats, watching the yellow sand filling the sky outside with great interest.
If you ask the reason, it is because in this era, I have basically never left the house except Yuan'an City and the Imperial Palace, so I am curious about everything.
Just as Zhou Qiongyue was dozing off, she heard the sound of someone lifting the carriage curtain and entering. She immediately opened her eyes wide. Gulan also quickly stood in front of Zhou Qiongyue.
Zhou Qiongyue looked at the person who came in, breathed a sigh of relief, patted Gulan's hand, and motioned her to go aside.
"Cousin, your maid is good and quick-witted." The fifth prince Li Jingyu threw a silver ingot into Gulan's arms while speaking.
Gulan could only look at her young lady with a questioning look. When she saw her young lady nodded, she saluted the Fifth Prince and quietly retreated to a corner.
