Jin Suting noticed that these people only brought their personal maids whom they brought into the palace from their mansion. It seemed as if they were wary of Jin Suting and did not bring the people she assigned.
While eating and drinking, Jin Suting felt that it was time to talk about some serious matters.
She said, "That's right. It's late autumn now. In early November, there will be a winter hunt. All the concubines in our palaces will accompany His Majesty on this trip."
There was silence after hearing this. Nangong Xiangle was the first to speak, "Really?! Where are you going?"
She is the most carefree one, only knowing how to eat and have fun.
Jin Suting thought she was cute and replied with a smile: "It is said that there is a lot of game in the forest of Funing Horse Farm."
There is no prince in the royal family. This winter hunting is just a competition between the emperor and his ministers. The concubines go along just for fun.
It's winter and it's freezing cold, so few people are willing to go out and play with me.
And it’s not some far place, it’s just a horse farm. We are all the best ladies in Funing, and everyone here has been there.
But Nangong Xiangle was very happy. She was very interested in everything she played with.
So Nangong Xiangle said: "Great, I love eating meat the most!"
She was hilarious, and everyone was laughing at her. Some people genuinely found her funny, while others were just joking.
Jin Suting's mood also brightened. "Can all the sisters ride horses? Then we can participate in the winter hunt."
The Fuding Kingdom was not so rigid. Women could also study and practice martial arts, and of course they could participate in winter hunting.
"I can!" Nangong Xiangle was the first to raise her hand. Her aunt had taught her.
Lu Zhiqi also said that she could do it. The girls in the Lu family could ride horses at the age of eight.
Lu Yuewen remained silent, and Li Xianxian kept her mouth shut even more. They were both young ladies raised in seclusion, and all they learned were music, chess, calligraphy and painting. How could they learn horse riding?
Tang Ruozhi smiled and nodded, having completely mastered that quiet demeanor. "I know a little bit."
I don't know who taught her to go this way. Her expression was extremely arrogant, but her words were humble.
People can't help but feel that it is hypocritical.
Jin Suting said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to ride. Just treat it as a fun activity. It's only September now. If you can convince His Majesty to teach you how to ride, that's fine too, haha."
"Oh yeah, one more thing."
Jin Suting decided to tell them, "In about half a month, our saint who married into the Simu Kingdom will be back. I plan to hold a welcoming banquet. What do you think?"
The last sentence was just nonsense. She had already planned it and had no intention of asking for opinions.
Concubine Li must have heard it. She took a sip of tea and said, "The Saint is the Empress's friend. Isn't it you who has the final say on whether to accept the banquet?"
Jin Suting ignored her sarcasm and asked, "What do you sisters think?"
Lu Zhiqi: "I think there is no problem. The Saint must have traveled a long way from Simu Country. We must treat her well so that she will feel like she has truly returned home. I agree with the Queen's suggestion!"
Lu Zhiqi is recognized as the one who talks the most and is the most honest. She is the only one who answers so seriously.
Jin Suting nodded and said, "That's a happy decision!"
Helan Ruizhe left the court early, and Jin Suting was late because she had to talk about some things.
When the Emperor came back from the morning court and was eager to see his wife, he happened to run into the concubines who had not yet dispersed.
He didn't feel it yesterday, but when he saw the scene today, he began to regret whether five hair flowers were too much.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
Everyone stood up and saluted him, feeling dizzy.
Seeing all the colorful things before his eyes, he felt for the first time that ending the morning court too early was not a good thing. His ministers' court robes looked better.
"Stand up, stand up."
He walked straight up to Jin Suting and signaled with his eyes: "Why don't you disperse yet?"
Jin Suting faked a smile and uttered a few words from between her teeth: "You came just when we were about to disperse!"
Helan Ruizhe turned around and smiled at them: "The Queen Mother said you can disperse, go back!"
But before they could get excited about the emperor's handsome smile, he was simply their dream lover! They were ordered to leave and return to their respective palaces.
Tang Ruozhi looked back as he walked, seeing Helan Ruizhe smiling so happily at Jin Suting, and secretly gritted his teeth to pull her down from that position.
Concubine Li nudged her in the back and asked, "Are you going to leave?"
Enduring the humiliation, she clenched her fists and left.
Concubine Li muttered as she walked, "That so-called Jieyu looks disgusting. I really don't know what went wrong in her brain to invite that bad girl in."
Qing Lai was terrified to see his master complaining about the Empress again, "Princess, please keep your voice down. We haven't even left Fengluan Palace yet!"
This place is different from Southern Xinjiang. Ever since the princess first saw Helan Ruizhe and decided to marry him and become the empress of Fuding Kingdom, her words and actions are no longer as free as they were in Southern Xinjiang. Now that the empress is above her, she has to be even more careful with her words.
"Are her ears that long?" Concubine Li didn't care.
In Fengluan Palace, Helan Ruizhe wanted to hold Jin Suting's hand for a while, but she was unwilling.
She rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, "When does Your Majesty plan to have your new beauties sleep with you?"
Helan Ruizhe's eyes were full of confusion: "Why do you want to sleep with me?"
Jin Suting: "..."
"First day as emperor? Still need me to teach you?"
Of course, she definitely didn't say that. "Ah, you have to sleep with me. Otherwise, if it gets out, my reputation as a queen will be bad."
