Chapter 353 A Sudden Awakening

Yun Qin rarely showed up during the past few days on the road. There was no special reason, she was simply carriage-sick.

She also didn't understand why she, a modern person who doesn't even get car sickness, would get carriage sickness.

It was not until she arrived at the hunting grounds, settled into the big tent and took a nap that the nausea she felt as if she had just been on a pirate ship finally eased a lot.

The tent was quiet and Huo Jinchi was not there. Yun Qin put on a coat, slipped on her shoes, and walked out of the tent.

As soon as I walked out, I saw a vast open scene in front of me. Behind the tent, there was a not-so-high hill, and the surrounding area was flat.

Although the grass has turned a little yellow, it is still a beautiful autumn scene.

Yun Qin took a deep breath, and her nostrils were filled with the fresh smell of grass, trees and soil.

She was squinting her eyes and taking a deep breath when Rong Xin suddenly asked, "Why don't you put on your clothes before coming out!"

As Rong Xin said this, she pushed her into the tent and went in to get her clothes.

"It's not that cold." Yun Qin said this before noticing the food box she had placed on the table. She reached out and opened it, revealing food and some snacks inside.

As soon as Rong Xin came out, she looked at her with bright eyes and said, "What's the point of eating in the tent? The weather outside is so nice, let's go for an outing."

"You've been in a daze, why are you stepping on the grass in this season?" Rong Xin laughed.

"That's Tahuang. Anyway, let's go to the mountain behind to eat. The scenery there must be great!" Yun Qin was still very excited.

Rong Xin rarely saw her so excited, so she nodded, but turned around and went back to rummaging through the boxes, "Then I have to find you a thicker piece of clothing."

"All up to you." Yun Qin followed her, still somewhat excited, "Call Dan Xue and Ting Chun."

Even if Yun Qin wanted to live in the emperor's tent permanently, she had to prepare her own tent, so Danxue and Tingchun went to pack it.

"Okay." Rong Xin was very satisfied.

After getting dressed, Danxue and Tingchun also arrived, as well as Xiaoshunzi and a few young eunuchs. They would be the main force to take the things.

The mountain was not high, and they soon reached a relatively flat area. From such a raised area on the grassland, they could see a lot of scenery.

Yun Qin was out of breath a little, took a deep breath of the slightly cool air, and felt her whole body become clear.

Lay out the mat, put down the low table, and the picnic begins.

Yun Qin held Rong Xin's hand and helped her sit down. She felt mysteriously in her sleeves and unexpectedly took out a wine bottle.

Rong Xin saw this and tried to snatch it away, "When did the master ever obey me?"

"How ugly! How can it be said that I got it by default? I took it fairly!" Yun Qin was very unconvinced.

"The master has just recovered from an illness and cannot drink." Rong Xin frowned.

"Just for a moment. Don't stand anymore. Sit together. Don't miss out on such a beautiful view." She was busy placing the dishes on the table.

Rong Xin was about to speak, but was stopped by Dan Xue, "Sister, the master is so happy."

Glancing at the excited Yun Qin, Rong Xin's lips curled up as well, and she didn't hold back any more, saying, "You can only drink a little!"

Yun Qin smiled at her and continued to extend her hand to greet them, "There is no distinction between master and servant today. Sit down quickly and don't make me angry!"

Everyone couldn't persuade him, so they all sat down.

At the foot of the mountain, Huo Jinchi was slowly approaching with several ministers and accompanying generals.

There is a pass not far from here, and it can be seen most clearly from this mountain.

Climbing up the stairs, Hawking paused while speaking because he heard a familiar laugh.

Xu An beside him also heard it and was about to speak, but was stopped by Huo Jinchi.

He motioned for everyone to stop where they were, and he took another road. After turning a corner, he saw Yun Qin and the others.

The four masters and servants of Yanning Palace sat together. Tingchun stood up straight and talked and gestured. No one knew what he said. Yunqin smiled and leaned on Rongxin. She wiped her tears with her sleeve and poured a sip of wine into her mouth.

This was a happier look he had never seen before, and Hawking Chi also smiled when he saw it, but his smile soon faded.

Huo Jinchi never understood what could move Yunqin's heart.

At this moment, he seemed to be enlightened.

He did not step forward to disturb them, but quietly retreated back to the previous path and reunited with everyone. He said nothing, but just talked about the deployment of defenses as usual. He and the ministers continued to climb the stairs to the top of the mountain to observe the terrain.

By the time he got down the mountain, there was no more laughter on the other side, so they must have gone down the mountain.

Huo Jinchi glanced at that place, raised the corner of his mouth, and said to Xu An: "Let Doctor Zhang Yu go to see Xi Zhaoyi."

"yes."

These words made several ministers look at each other. Even at this time, the emperor did not forget to think of Xi Zhaoyi. She was indeed the apple of the emperor's eye.

In the evening, Huo Jinchi returned to the big tent.

It seemed that the excitement of the day had not yet worn off, for as soon as he approached the big tent, he could hear the sound of laughter inside.

Hawking Chi opened the curtain and walked in. Several people immediately turned their heads to look at him.

"Your Highness." Rong Xin and the others bowed quickly.

Yun Qin didn't, she just smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you've come at the right time. Please judge for yourself whether I paint better or Tingchun paints better."

For a long time, Hawking had not allowed her to salute, and it seemed that this effort had finally paid off.

He moved closer and took a look at the painting that Yun Qin held up. He could tell that the painting depicted the scenery they saw when they climbed up to the top.

That's all.

Huo Jinchi put his arm around her shoulders and said with a smile, "Of course, Ah Qin draws well."

Yun Qin immediately looked at Ting Chun with pride. Ting Chun pretended to be angry and said, "The emperor will naturally favor the master."

"Nonsense, the emperor is the most upright, right?" Yun Qin turned to look at Huo Jinchi and winked at him.

Hawking Chi chuckled and nodded.

Tingchun covered his mouth and laughed.

After laughing, everyone left, leaving only two people in the hall.

"What did Doctor Zhang Yu say?" Huo Jinchi asked, leaning on the couch and playing with Yun Qin's hair with his fingers.

Yun Qin glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty, you are too surprised. I just went to the mountain for a walk. What could be the problem?"

She was not aware of what happened to Huo Jinchi when he went up the mountain today.

Huo Jinchi raised his upper body and sniffed her neck and shoulders. "Don't think I don't know you've been drinking."

Yun Qin was startled and subconsciously put her arms around her shoulders, "You, you dog..."

She braked in time, but the word "dog" had already come out of her mouth.

"Come on, speak up. Why don't you say anything?" Huo Jinchi grabbed her face.

Yun Qin smiled, "Very sharp..."

Huo Jinchi snorted, then couldn't help laughing. He leaned on her shoulder and said helplessly, "Who made you so bold?"

Yun Qin glared at him and said nothing.

"Are you feeling tired today?" Huo Jinchi held her in his arms.

Yun Qin hadn't noticed the danger yet and shook her head gently, "It's okay."

"Well, that's perfect. I'm not tired either."

Yun Qin still didn't quite understand, until she felt a chill behind her ears, and finally realized that he had bad intentions.

But it was too late even if she wanted to struggle. The warm fingers had already passed through the hem of her clothes and reached into her collar.
