The carriage stopped, the emperor dropped the book in his hand and got off the carriage.
He glanced at the racecourse and walked towards the stands with his hands behind his back.
Li Defu and two young eunuchs followed behind him.
When they met the emperor, the nobles saluted silently from a distance.
Standing on the highest stand, the emperor sighed: "It's been a year since I came here. If you look closely, you can see that there are quite a lot of changes."
"Your Majesty, you are busy with government affairs every day. You should walk more often."
"It's a bother to come out and mobilize a large army." The emperor looked at the young people from various families below, "After the autumn hunt, I will ride for an hour or two and that will be enough for me."
"I will make sure it's arranged."
Two young eunuchs brought a chair and placed it behind the emperor.
The emperor sat down on the chair.
Feng Huaiji and Yingyue were riding their horses right in front of the emperor. The emperor looked carefully and saw that it was his young and promising assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice. There was a woman next to him, but she was blocked by him.
Li Defu stood beside the emperor and sighed, "Since the age of fourteen, Master Xiao Feng has been the first in the autumn hunt every year. If he had not chosen the literary path, he would have been able to get a place if he had chosen the martial arts path..."
The emperor stood up suddenly, and his movement was so big that the chair shook. The sound made Li Defu's sighing stop abruptly.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
He turned around and saw an expression of surprise and joy on the emperor's face.
"Who is the woman next to Feng Huaiji?!"
Li Defu took a closer look and, oh my god, if he remembered correctly, the imperial concubine back then looked like this, right?
Li Defu quickly recovered from his shock, "Your Majesty, I will go and call Master Xiaofeng and that girl over."
"Go quickly!" The emperor clenched his fists and walked down almost uncontrollably.
Li Defu ran and rolled down the stands and went straight to Feng Huaiji and Yingyue.
"Brother, I'm tired of riding. Let's go back."
"Okay." Feng Huaiji turned the horse's head with her.
"Master Xiaofeng! Master Xiaofeng——"
A shrill voice that was getting longer and longer was heard, and Li Defu's gaze not only attracted the attention of Feng Huaiji and Yingyue, but also attracted the attention of others.
Feng Huaiji concealed the dark color in his eyes and looked over, "Eunuch Li, why did you call me? Does the emperor have any instructions?"
Li Defu stopped to take a few breaths, stood up and adjusted his hat, "Your Majesty, please go with the girl next to you."
"Please wait a moment, eunuch." Feng Huaiji turned over and got off the horse, then went to help Yingyue down.
"Second brother, what does the emperor want to talk to us about?" Yingyue leaned close to him and asked in a low voice.
It's normal to summon the second brother, but why summon her as well?
Qingming and Xuanqing came over and led the horses away.
"You'll find out when you go." Feng Huaiji patted her head, "Don't be nervous, the emperor is very kind."
The corner of Li Defu's mouth twitched. Is the emperor kind?
But the closer I look at this girl, the more she looks like him.
"Master Xiao Feng, who is this person next to you?"
"My third uncle's youngest daughter, Yingyue. The emperor doesn't know who my ninth sister is, so why did he summon her as well?"
Li Defu smiled and said, "I can't figure out what the emperor is thinking. How old is Miss Feng Jiu?"
Yingyue glanced at him and said, "Sixteen."
Could it be that the emperor suddenly had nothing to do and thought of granting her a marriage? I heard that he had arranged marriages for her in the court before.
Thinking of this, Yingyue grabbed Feng Huaiji's sleeve, feeling a little nervous.
Feng Huaiji patted her on the back and comforted her gently, "It's okay."
"Miss Feng Jiu, sixteen years and a few months old?"
"Four months."
Li Defu felt a little disappointed when he heard this. The age didn't match. The princess was already sixteen years and eleven months old.
