Chapter 54: The doll is mine
An Jiaying's eyebrows knitted in anger, and countless countermeasures flashed through his mind. He pondered and said, "Replying to Concubine Min, there is only one of this baby. Is it..."
Concubine Min interrupted her, "Alright, stop hesitating and you don't have to say anything more!"
The serious expression changed, Min Fei raised the corners of her lips, curved her fox-like eyes, and tapped her head with her finger: "Such a cute doll, just one is enough."
It seems that the contrast between herself before and after changing clothes is too great. She doesn’t look like a voodoo doll at all. Concubine Min has been immersed in her outer skin and has completely forgotten her original skin. Shen Tingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Concubine Min waved her hand, her eyes shining: "Now this doll belongs to me, reward!"
Anjia's eyes widened, and she said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, this baby has an owner!"
Hearing this, Shen Tingyu snorted. What do you mean by "taken"? Can you speak? If you can't speak, don't say anything. She has already begun to miss the little angel An Chi.
The pink-dressed beauty glared at her angrily and said in a charming voice, "Who cares who's behind it? It's your blessing that my sister likes this doll. Why don't you thank me quickly and receive the reward?"
Shen Tingyu complained silently in her heart. If Concubine Min knew that she was the voodoo doll that Concubine Yu used to curse her, she would definitely not praise her for being cute, nor would she want to keep her.
Suddenly, a cold and majestic voice sounded from outside the hall, the voice arrived before the person arrived.
"The doll is mine!"
Concubine Min's expression changed slightly. She quickly led all the beauties to kneel on the ground and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, I greet you. May your Majesty be well."
A pair of slender hands took the rag doll from her hands, and Concubine Min did not dare to stop it at all.
Shen Tingyu glared at him angrily. Wasn’t he busy? Why did he suddenly have time to come to Concubine Min?
Xin Hongying pressed his fingers on her head, his brows sharp and his expression cold as he stood there, with an air of nobility and coldness about him, like the ice and snow on the mountains that never melted all year round.
"I almost lost you!"
Concubine Min didn't dare to look up. She could only see a pair of black boots embroidered with gold thread standing in front of her. "Your Majesty, I deserve to die. I didn't know this was... your rag doll."
The other beauties looked at each other, and the beauty in pink trembled with fear.
Concubine Min's expression changed, and suddenly a picture popped up in her mind. She remembered that this doll looked about 70% like herself, because it was the voodoo doll that Concubine Yu used to curse her!
The love I had for it disappeared in an instant, and even a hint of disgust arose.
Xin Hongying said expressionlessly, "This is the last thing Concubine Yu left for me before she was abducted by thieves."
"Remember this, the doll belongs to me. Don't touch it again." He said sternly, "Forget it this time, but if there is a next time, I will never let you off easily."
Concubine Min's eyes dimmed slightly. His Majesty was indeed still concerned about Concubine Yu. Fortunately, Concubine Yu had disappeared.
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left Concubine Min’s palace with Shen Tingyu.
Shen Tingyu sat down in his large palm and whispered, “Why are you scaring them? They don’t have any ill intentions.”
That wasn't a bluff, Xin Hongying didn't explain.
Shen Tingyu: "Your Majesty, why did you tell them that I am your doll? How can you, as the Son of Heaven, carry a rag doll with you all day long? Where is your dignity? The courtiers and concubines will gossip about you behind your back."
Xin Hongying said calmly, "They don't dare."
"After today, you can now accompany me openly and honestly, without having to stay in my sleeves like this. Don't you feel happy?"
Shen Tingyu was stunned. To put it this way, it seemed that she had indeed passed the clear path in front of others, but she still had to pretend that she could not move.
"It just so happens that tomorrow is the Spring Hunt. Fairy, you don't have to stay in my sleeve anymore. This is actually a good thing. I can protect you better."
Xin Hongying chuckled softly, "Don't worry anymore. If you move with more force, the fairy will be thrown out of your sleeve."
Shen Tingyu: “…”
…
The end of March is the golden season for spring hunting. Spring hunting has been a tradition in every dynasty of Hantian Dynasty. The hunting grounds have long been surrounded by people, and soldiers patrol the area every day, which is extremely solemn.
As usual, Xin Hongying took the Zong family and court officials to Luxu Mountain, but this year was slightly different. General Luo returned victorious, and Concubine Yu disappeared. This time, it was Concubine Min who accompanied them and was in charge of the female relatives of the court officials.
The journey to Luxu Mountain is not far, and it can be reached in a few days by riding a fast horse, but the scenery along the way is particularly pleasing to the eye and refreshing.
In the distance, there are rolling hills and lush green forests. The air in the countryside is particularly fresh and sweet, so the carriage moves slowly, and a large group of people move slowly under the protection of the imperial guards.
Xin Hongying changed into armor and rode a black iron-blooded BMW. His long legs were wrapped in black leather military boots and he held the reins. He looked like a sharp blade, as if he was about to step into the battlefield.
He had a large brocade bag hanging around his waist, which looked like a sachet and a brocade bag, but was slightly larger than an ordinary brocade bag. There was a rag doll inside, which was particularly conspicuous hanging around his waist.
It is different from the iron armor style of his outfit, but it does not seem out of place. Instead, it seems like there is a hint of tenderness in the iron-blooded toughness.
Everyone was ready to set off, and Luo Hun stood guard behind Xin Hongying with a solemn expression.
"Your Majesty, is there anything special about this rag doll?" The childlike rag doll's eyes fell inadvertently on the brocade bag on Xin Hongying's waist several times, and finally couldn't help but ask.
Xin Hongying gripped the reins, lowered her eyes, and curled her lips: "She is very special. She can improve my luck. To me, she is very important."
Luo Hun didn't quite understand what he heard, but he understood the look in His Majesty's eyes. He attached great importance to this child. Although he didn't quite understand it, he expressed his respect.
"Your Majesty, as long as I am here, you may not be the champion of this year's spring hunting. I am determined to win it." Luo Hun smiled heartily.
"Really?"
Xin Hongying's eyes seemed to be smiling. "Last time in the spring hunt, I lost to you by one arrow. This year, it may not be the case. Senior brother's injury has not healed yet."
"Besides, I'm very lucky this year. Maybe I can hunt better prey."
"Brother, please think carefully about which girl you want to give this year's prey to. In previous years, you have been stationed at the border and rarely returned to the capital. If there is a girl you like, you must tell me and I will make the decision for you."
Stroking the reins with his fingers, Xin Hongying pondered what he should hunt to make clothes for the fairy.
It had been a long time since the two of them had such a chat. They talked and laughed all the way, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
The camp had already been set up at the foot of Luxu Mountain. This was the case every year, and everyone had already settled down in their tents in an orderly manner.
Xin Hongying opened the tent with a big hand, sat down in the tent, took off the brocade bag hanging from her waist, and said softly: "There is no one in the tent, fairy, you can come out now."
Shen Tingyu poked out a small head, looked at him with bright eyes, and sighed in his heart, what a handsome armor, what a handsome face.
