Chapter 111 Meeting with Ye Jinshu
The mountains at Yushou Peak are dark green, and autumn is in full swing.
After the hunting team arrived at the camp in a mighty manner, Shen Yuning was exhausted. Although the abdominal pain was slightly relieved, he was still frightened. He went back to the tent that had been set up long ago to rest, and did not even have the appetite to enjoy lunch.
The afternoon sun shines through the woods, creating mottled shadows.
Quan Minghe was dressed in tight clothes and looked heroic. He led the ministers and children of aristocratic families and rode their horses towards the depths of the forest. The sound of horse hooves startled countless birds in the forest.
A hunting feast has begun.
Shen Yuning fell into a deep sleep in the tent and woke up slowly after nearly two hours. He suddenly felt much more relaxed and the feeling of fatigue had dissipated a lot.
Lan Ying was sharp-eyed and saw that the queen had woken up, so she hurriedly brought a bowl of steaming porridge.
Shen Yuning drank it in small sips. The warm porridge flowed through her throat and the warmth spread throughout her body.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Qizi requests to see you." Lan Ying reported softly.
Shen Yuning frowned slightly and searched carefully in her mind, but found that she had almost no impression of this Zhao Qizi. It was just that her pills did relieve her abdominal pain on the way today.
"Let her in."
Shen Yuning put down the bowl in her hand.
After a while, Zhao Rourou walked into the tent and bowed: "I pay my respects to the queen."
She was wearing a plain silk dress. Although the material was not of the highest quality, it was clean and tidy. She had a slender figure and a pretty face.
There was just a hint of caution between his eyebrows and his temperament was slightly humble.
"Zhao Qizi, please sit down."
Shen Yuning looked gentle and raised her hand to signal.
"Thank you, Madam."
Zhao Rourou stood up, leaned forward and sat aside, with her hands placed neatly on her knees.
"Today, I saw His Majesty stop the entire convoy for the queen, and I was worried. I happened to hear the female doctor who was making medicine for the queen say that you had unbearable abdominal pain due to menstruation, so I dared to offer you the pills passed down from my family."
There was a hint of nervousness in Zhao Rourou's eyes.
"I didn't expect that it would be useful to Your Majesty. I still have a few pills here. If Your Majesty doesn't mind, please accept them."
As she spoke, she took out a small purse from her sleeve and handed it to Shen Yuning.
"Today, thanks to your pills, Lan Ying, since it is Zhao Qizi's kindness, accept it. But I can't take it for nothing. When I return to the palace in three days, I will carefully prepare a thank-you gift and send it to Qizi's palace."
"Thank you, Madam."
There was a flash of surprise in Zhao Rourou's eyes, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Since entering the palace, she has been looked down upon by others because of her poor family background. Wang Xi has also bullied her wantonly, and she has no one to support her.
Today, by chance, I used the pill to climb up the high branch of Shen Jieyu, and I must hold on to this big tree tightly.
"Your Majesty is out hunting with the ministers and several imperial concubines. Why don't you go?"
Shen Yuning looked at her.
If I were not there, wouldn't they have the opportunity to compete with each other and use all kinds of means to win favor?
Zhao Rourou's eyes dimmed instantly, and she looked disappointed: "My family is poor, and I have never learned to ride a horse since I was young. It is really difficult for me to participate in the hunting event."
Shen Yuning looked outside the tent, the autumn scenery was picturesque, and she thought, "It's not suitable for me to ride a horse today, so Zhao Qizi should accompany me for a walk. The autumn is strong at Yushou Peak, and the scenery should be beautiful."
Zhao Rourou quickly stood up and saluted: "Yes, it is my honor to accompany you, Your Majesty."
To the east of Yushou Peak is a vast forest with towering ancient trees and intertwined branches and leaves.
There were thick thorns there, and many ferocious large wild beasts were lurking there, so most hunting teams headed towards that place.
Shen Yuning and Zhao Rourou, accompanied by their personal maids, strolled leisurely in opposite directions.
When we reached a place, we saw a gurgling stream, and the clear water sparkled with tiny silver lights in the sunlight. |
By the stream, colorful wild flowers bloom wantonly, red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow, delicate and beautiful, dancing in the wind, and the rich fragrance of flowers fills the air like a layer of soft fragrant mist.
When Shen Yuning saw the flowers everywhere, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.
He whispered, "Lan Ying, pick some flowers and put them in the tent."
“Yes.”
Blue Warbler responded and started picking the fruits swiftly.
Shen Yuning walked along the stream, stopping from time to time.
When I looked up inadvertently, I saw Ye Jinshu leaning against a thick tree trunk with his arms folded across his chest.
His broad shoulders and strong waist show his heroic spirit. His black hair is tied up high, and the ribbon hanging from his hair crown flutters in the wind, adding a bit of free and unrestrained youthful spirit to him.
Shen Yuning's eyes flashed.
She specifically instructed Xitong to lure Ye Jinshu over if he returned from hunting.
When Quan Minghe returned to the bank and didn't see her, he must have come looking for her.
On the other side, Quan Minghe, who had just returned from hunting, was worried about Shen Yuning's abdominal pain, and strode towards her tent.
Yan Xin, dressed in neat riding clothes, followed behind him, but her eyes kept wandering to Quan Minghe, secretly thinking about something in her mind.
At this time, a palace maid walked up to Yan Xin, leaned close to her ear, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shen went to the stream over there, and General Ye is also here."
Yan Xin raised her long eyebrows.
Although she didn't understand how Shen Yuning became involved with General Ye, seeing as how the two of them met each other so often, their relationship must be complicated.
She took a few steps forward, a smile that looked like concern on her face.
"Your Majesty, my maid just saw Concubine Shen go to the stream over there. Concubine Shen loves flowers, so she must have gone to the stream to pick flowers."
Quan Minghe glanced at her indifferently without saying a word.
His steps suddenly changed and he walked quickly in the direction of her finger.
Yan Xin wanted to see a good show, so she followed closely.
Before Quan Minghe reached the stream, he saw Shen Yuning's figure from afar.
She was followed by Zhao Qizi and several palace maids.
However, among them, Ye Jinshu, who was tall, long-legged and handsome, was particularly eye-catching.
He was seen standing face to face with Shen Yuning.
Quan Minghe couldn't hear what they were saying. He could only see Shen Yuning raise her hand slightly, take out a sachet from her sleeve and hand it to Ye Jinshu.
Quan Minghe's black eyes suddenly became as dark as the abyss.
He stared at the sachet closely, as if he wanted to burn it.
If he remembered correctly, she had been embroidering this sachet on and off for more than a month.
He often saw her sewing under the candlelight and used to make fun of her poor embroidery skills, but in his heart he secretly looked forward to the day when she would finish her work and give him the sachet.
But now...
This sachet was actually embroidered for someone else!
Due to her height and her eyesight not being as sharp as His Majesty's, Yan Xin could not see clearly what Shen Yuning and Ye Jinshu were doing.
But seeing the two of them in such close contact, I was certain that they must have had some connection.
She stood behind His Majesty and felt the increasingly oppressive aura around him.
Could it be that Your Majesty saw the intimacy between Shen Yuning and Ye Jinshu?
Yan Xin speculated secretly.
If this is the case, Shen Yuning and Ye Jinshu will not have a good ending.
Quan Minghe's eyes were still locked on the two of them, his thoughts running wildly like a wild horse.
Last time on her birthday, Ye Jinshu sent her a glass cup as her cousin. He knew that he did something wrong that day and made her sad, so he did not investigate the matter further.
But he didn't expect that she would actually embroider a sachet for Ye Jinshu!
When she embroidered the sachet for Feng Moheng, she was deceived by that guy. So what is her intention in embroidering the sachet for Ye Jinshu now? !
Quan Minghe seemed to be fixed in place, his body stretched straight, and the low pressure emanating from his body made the air around him seem to solidify.
After a long while, he turned around and left when he saw the two separate.
