Chapter 143 Someone is plotting against me
Hong Cao paused and quickly saluted the Queen: "Your Majesty, I am catching insects."
"That's disgraceful." The Queen scolded.
Hongcao lowered her head and replied, "I know I was wrong."
The queen ignored her and walked forward.
Hongcao looked up and saw that the figure had disappeared.
The queen came to Jiang Zhaoyue and the others.
Jiang Zhaoyue and the other person saluted.
"What are you talking about?" asked the queen with a smile.
"Mother, we were talking about the autumn hunt." Princess Duojia replied with a smile.
The queen said in a gentle voice, "You only know how to play."
Princess Duojia giggled.
The Queen glanced at Jiang Zhaoyue and said, "Then you guys can chat. I'm going back now."
Princess Duojia asked, "Would you like to stroll around for a while, Mother?"
"I've been wandering around here for quite a while now, and I'm tired."
"Then please go back and rest, mother. I respectfully send you off."
The queen walked out of the imperial garden.
A palace maid quietly walked out of the woods and came before the queen.
"What did you hear?" asked the Queen.
The maid whispered, "Her Majesty, I heard that the Crown Princess is also going on the autumn hunt. Princess Duojia hopes that the Crown Princess will help her create an opportunity to be alone with Young Master Qin Luqin."
"Qin Lu?" asked the queen.
"yes."
"I didn't expect that girl Duojia would fall for the son of the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion." The Queen chuckled and said, "I see. You did a great job today. Go and claim your reward later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The palace maid was happy.
The queen was also happy.
Jiang Zhaoyue accompanied Princess Duojia for a while while they strolled around and chatted. Then, she returned to the East Palace with Hongcao and Xiangqiao and asked, "When Princess Duojia and I were talking, someone was eavesdropping, wasn't that right?"
"Yes." Hongcao replied.
"Can you tell who it is?"
"No, the queen appeared just as I walked over. When I looked up again, the man was gone." Hongcao could have caught that man.
Jiang Zhaoyue thought about it and guessed: "Then she should be the Queen's person."
"Has that person been following us and eavesdropping on us?" Xiang Qiao asked.
"Probably not." Hongcao shook her head.
Jiang Zhaoyue looked at Hongcao and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"I have been following the Crown Princess. If someone is following me, I will definitely be able to hear the footsteps and catch them early." Hongcao has practiced for so many years, so she does have this skill.
Jiang Zhaoyue also believed her.
"Is that a coincidence?" Xiangqiao asked.
"It could also be ambush." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Xiangqiao suddenly became nervous: "Is the Queen going to harm the Crown Princess?"
Jiang Zhaoyue thought for a moment and said, "Princess Duojia and I didn't say anything."
Xiang Qiao continued, "Princess Duojia said she hopes you can create an opportunity for her and Young Master Qin to be alone. Is the Queen targeting Princess Duojia?"
"The Queen has no reason to deal with Princess Duojia." Hongcao said.
yes.
Although Concubine Hui was valued by Emperor Hong Qi, she was neither arrogant nor impatient. She only had one daughter, Princess Duojia, and she posed no threat to the position of crown prince or the throne.
The Queen and the others had no reason to hurt her and her daughter... Jiang Zhaoyue thought of the original owner's ending again. She was once again worried that she would not be able to escape the constraints of the plot. She said to Hongcao and Xiangqiao: "No matter what, you must be careful in the future."
Hongcao and Xiangqiao nodded.
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't notice anything unusual in the next few days, but she was still extremely careful.
In the blink of an eye, it was autumn hunting time.
Before daybreak, Pei Jingzhou called out, "Zhaoyue, get up."
Jiang Zhaoyue frowned and opened his eyes.
Pei Jingzhou took a step back, waiting for her to get angry.
Jiang Zhaoyue stared at Pei Jingzhou.
"We're going autumn hunting today," Pei Jingzhou said.
"Your Highness, you are so handsome." Pei Jingzhou usually wore a long robe with wide sleeves, giving him a reserved and cool look. But today, for hunting, he changed into a tight suit, showing off his broad shoulders and narrow waist. He looked less indifferent and more sharp and sleek, so handsome that Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't help but say, "So handsome."
Some people forget their principles when they see beauty, but Jiang Zhaoyue forgets his temper when he sees beauty.
Pei Jingzhou smiled helplessly, walked forward and asked, "Get up, pack up and go hunting."
Jiang Zhaoyue immediately hugged Pei Jingzhou's neck.
"What for?" Pei Jingzhou asked.
"Your Highness looks so handsome today. I want to kiss you a few times." Jiang Zhaoyue immediately kissed Pei Jingzhou on the face.
Pei Jingzhou chuckled and asked, "Are you done?"
"And your mouth." Jiang Zhaoyue kissed Pei Jingzhou hard on the mouth again.
Pei Jingzhou's smile was almost overflowing with honey. He put his arm around her waist and asked, "Can I get up now?"
Jiang Zhaoyue answered readily: "Sure."
"Then wash up and change clothes. We will meet up with Father and Mother and head to the hunting grounds together."
"Okay." Jiang Zhaoyue changed into a crimson outfit, looking heroic, bright and charming.
Pei Jingzhou's eyes lit up.
Jiang Zhaoyue walked up to him and asked, "Do I look good?"
"It looks good." It was so beautiful that Pei Jingzhou felt a little embarrassed.
"real?"
"real."
Jiang Zhaoyue hugged his arm and tilted her head and said, "Then praise me."
"It's time to go see the Emperor and the Empress." Pei Jingzhou reminded.
Not wanting to delay important matters, Jiang Zhaoyue did not bother Pei Jingzhou and just snorted deliberately.
Pei Jingzhou glanced at her with a smile in his eyes.
As they were talking, they arrived at the second gate of the palace.
The Second Prince Xiao Congbei and his wife, Concubine Hui, Princess Duojia, the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince and other royal family members and some court officials were already there. When they saw Pei Jingzhou and Jiang Zhaoyue, they all came over to greet them.
Pei Jingzhou and Jiang Zhaoyue responded politely.
At this time, Jiang Zhaoyue felt a gaze.
Jiang Zhaoyue looked over.
The man quickly turned his gaze away and never looked back.
Jiang Zhaoyue whispered, "Your Highness, there's a man looking at me. Is he planning something bad to me?"
"Which man?" Pei Jingzhou asked.
"That one." Jiang Zhaoyue pointed quietly.
Pei Jingzhou took a look, then looked at Jiang Zhaoyue with a strange look.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
Pei Jingzhou asked back: "Don't you know him?"
Jiang Zhaoyue shook her head: "I don't know him."
"He is Tao Jin."
"Ah, Pei Siyan slandered Tao Jin who had an affair with me?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
Pei Jingzhou frowned: "How can you talk like that?"
Jiang Zhaoyue immediately corrected herself: "Oh, he is Tao Jin."
Pei Jingzhou nodded: "Yeah."
"He just looked at me."
"Don't be so sentimental."
"Um?"
"They are a very loving couple. When they see you, they may feel like they have seen their benefactor."
"Oh, no wonder you looked at me once and then stopped looking. It turns out you were afraid of causing trouble for me. What a nice man."
"Um?"
"I'm not being sentimental, so don't be jealous." Jiang Zhaoyue replied.
Pei Jingzhou smiled.
At this time, the emperor came.
Everyone saluted and followed the emperor and empress. Some got on the carriages, some got on the horses. A large group of people left the palace in a mighty procession and came to the vast hunting ground.
The men rode their horses to hunt in the distance.
Jiang Zhaoyue followed the women on horseback to hunt small things nearby. She hunted a little rabbit and rode back to the camp.
Xiangqiao asked curiously, "Crown Princess, aren't you going to fight?"
"No, there are many soldiers here, so it's safer." Jiang Zhaoyue was afraid of death, so it was safer for her to stay here.
Xiang Qiao said, "This is the royal hunting ground. It should be safe everywhere."
"That's not necessarily true."
After a while, Princess Duojia came back with prey and invited Jiang Zhaoyue to hunt.
Jiang Zhaoyue sat in the camp, letting layer upon layer of officers and soldiers protect him, and was determined not to take any risks.
Princess Duojia had no choice but to say, "Don't forget to match me up with Qin Lu later."
"Okay." Jiang Zhaoyue agreed.
Princess Duojia went hunting again.
At this time, the Queen, Concubine Hui and others came back.
Jiang Zhaoyue said that his wrist hurt and he couldn't go hunting.
"Then sit down and rest." Concubine Hui said with a smile.
The queen nodded and ordered people to send some fruit and tea to replenish everyone's water.
Concubine Hui ate a lot. Once, when she went to the toilet, she came back and heard that Emperor Hong Qi had killed a deer and they would have roasted venison to eat soon. She was very happy.
Jiang Zhaoyue also wanted to go to the toilet at this time, so he took Xiangqiao and Hongcao with him.
As soon as she entered the palace, she saw two huge wild boars. She was horrified and said hurriedly, "Quick! Let's go!"
