"I ride it once every year, but this year I'll leave the opportunity to others." Bei Yutang said mischievously.
Nan Shaotian scratched her nose lovingly, "Well, you've finally grown up."
Bei Yutang chuckled, but was silently complaining in his heart.
The appearance of Nan Shaotian and Bei Yutang together really made many concubines envious. Those noble ladies all felt the favor that the Southern Emperor had for Concubine Erchen.
When Nan Shaotian appeared, everyone in the hunting ground knelt down and saluted.
"Long live our emperor, long live the emperor."
"No need to be polite."
Nan Shaotian patted the seat beside him, Bei Yutang took a look and sat down obediently. This position was good, but it also came with huge risks.
However, she was a favorite concubine, and the last thing she lacked was danger.
Xia Yuwei was wearing riding clothes today, and her complexion looked slightly better than yesterday, but there was a hint of blue under her eyes, and it was obvious that she did not sleep well last night.
When Concubine De, who was sitting below, saw Bei Yutang's outfit today, a strange look flashed in her eyes.
Nan Shaotian said some words of encouragement, and then started the annual hunt. Every hunt was a time of pursuit and competition to see who could win first place.
Not only will you be able to show your face among the nobles, but you will also have the opportunity to be appreciated by the emperor.
When Nan Shaotian fired the first flare, all the noble sons of the Southern Kingdom rushed into the woods, each one more brave than the other, fearing that they would fall behind.
Bei Yutang looked at the situation in front of her, and her mind unconsciously thought of when she was still the young lady of the Bei family in Southern Tang Kingdom. Every time she went hunting, her brother was always the most dazzling person in the hunting ground.
However, the young general who was so proud and upright was reduced to ashes and did not have a good end.
Bei Yutang clenched his fists tightly.
Sooner or later, she will make Gu Pianran and her gang of men pay back this grudge a hundredfold or a thousandfold.
Nan Shaotian sensed something was wrong with her, "Tang'er, what's wrong?"
Bei Yutang put away all her emotions and put on a gentle smile. "It's okay. I drank too much yesterday." As she said this, she held her head with her hand.
"Make some hangover soup." Nan Shaotian ordered.
"yes."
Nan Shaotian watched her finish her drink before mounting his horse and setting off with a pair of imperial guards. With the emperor gone, only the women were left at the hunting grounds.
Concubine De smiled and asked Bei Yutang, "Your Majesty, why aren't you wearing riding clothes today?"
Thinking of her in riding clothes like this, tsk tsk, jealousy is really deadly.
Bei Yutang leaned lazily on the side and said slowly, "Every year, I always win first place. It's so boring. The emperor blames me."
Even though he was blaming her, his tone was filled with unconcealed pride, which made the group of women below feel a surge of jealousy.
Since they were all jealous anyway, she didn't mind making them even more jealous. Looking at their frustrated expressions, Bei Yutang felt strangely relieved.
"The Emperor and his men have already left. We can begin now. According to the old rules, whoever reaches the finish line first and pulls down the flag will be the winner today."
Bei Yutang's words aroused the fighting spirit of many concubines in the harem. If they won the first prize, they would also be able to show their faces in front of the emperor. Whether it was the four concubines or other concubines, they were all eager to try.
Bei Yutang saw how excited they were and quickly understood their intentions. She had always won first place in previous years, but without her this year, they all had a chance to show off, and their fighting spirit was aroused.
