Chapter 86 Departure
"Master, the clothing department has sent all your clothes over. There are three sets of riding suits and two sets of skirts."
Miaoxia raised her head slightly, with a look of joy on her face and bright eyes as she spoke.
Then her eyes fell on the two dresses and she continued with a smile.
"Master, please wear this blue-green dress today. It is really beautiful. The clothing bureau said that these two dresses were specially ordered by His Majesty to be made with Sichuan brocade that was just presented as a tribute this year."
"There are only ten pieces of Shujin in the entire palace."
She has always been responsible for the master's dressing. Every time she sees the exquisite dresses and dazzling jewelry that His Majesty sends to the master, her heart is filled with joy.
Happy for the master.
Su Jingyao turned her head to look at the dress, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and nodded lightly.
The dresses that the Shangfu Bureau usually made for concubines above the rank of imperial concubine were all long skirts that dragged on the ground. Many of Su Jingyao's dresses were also of the floor-length style, which gave people a sense of luxury and elegance.
Since she was leaving the palace this time, the dress she made would naturally not drag on the ground. Although it lacked some gorgeous charm, it gained a sense of elegant and agile beauty.
"Well, not bad." Su Jingyao said softly, Jun Zechen still has some vision.
Afterwards, Su Jingyao walked slowly to the hanger where the dress was hanging and walked around it slowly.
A delicate hand gently stroked the silky texture of the dress.
This is the unique experience that only power can bring in this world.
Shu brocade was exclusively used by the royal family and was strictly prohibited from being sold among the public.
Each thread is of uniform thickness, gleaming with luster, and extremely strong, so this brocade combines durability and beauty.
Su Jingyao walked towards the bedroom, and Miaoxia followed behind her, pushing the clothes hanger with both hands and walking slowly inside.
After entering the bedroom, Miaoxia helped her master change clothes while softly asking, "Master, this Shujin is so precious, His Majesty did not give it to Concubine Ling, but Concubine Ye got one. I guess it's because her family is quite high and her family has made outstanding military achievements for generations."
"But Concubine Lin got two horses. Could it be that His Majesty really likes Concubine Lin?"
"Miaoxia, please don't guess what your majesty is thinking."
Su Jingyao chuckled softly. Jun Zechen's heart now was not so easy to win.
After dressing up, Su Jingyao walked out of Zhaochun Palace and headed towards Qianyuan Gate.
The ministers, guards and part of the army participating in the spring hunt will gather here.
Su Jingyao sat steadily on the gorgeous phoenix sedan chair carried by sixteen people. Along the way, she met several concubines who were also going to the spring hunt.
Except for Concubine Ling and Concubine Lin, who were the mistresses of a palace and could ride in sedan chairs, everyone else could only walk.
Concubine Ling was sitting in the sedan chair. When she met the Imperial Concubine sitting in the phoenix sedan chair, the bitterness and jealousy in her heart surged like a tide and she couldn't suppress it.
The eunuchs who were carrying the sedan chair slowly lowered it. Concubine Ling suppressed her emotions and got off the sedan chair.
She walked to the side of the phoenix chariot and bowed slightly: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
There was a forced smile on her face, and her lowered eyes were full of unwillingness, but what could she do?
I can only force myself to accept it.
"Princess Ling, please get up."
Su Jingyao's voice was calm and cold, without any sense of intimacy as before.
After all, Concubine Ling was also responsible for the death of her "child". She had clearly stated in front of Jun Zechen that she "could not forgive" Concubine Ling.
At this moment, Su Jingyao straightened her back and sat upright on the phoenix sedan chair. She did not pay any attention to Concubine Ling, but looked straight into the distance with a solemn and dignified expression, showing the demeanor of a mother who rules the world.
Concubine Ling looked at the high and mighty Imperial Concubine with disdain, her heart full of depression and helplessness, but she could do nothing about it.
He could only grit his teeth, then turned around and sat back in his own sedan chair, with a trace of loneliness and resentment in his eyes.
Afterwards, Su Jingyao met some concubines one after another on the palace road. After they came to pay their respects, they all followed the phoenix sedan respectfully, not daring to overstep the mark in the slightest.
Su Jingyao led a group of concubines gracefully to the Qianyuan Gate. Soon, they heard a slight noise.
Jun Zechen's majestic chariot also arrived slowly.
Su Jingyao took the lead and led all the concubines to pay their respects, saying in unison: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty."
Everyone had a just the right amount of respect on their face.
Today, Jun Zechen was wearing a dark black dragon robe, looking particularly majestic and dignified.
He did not tie his hair up high as usual, but instead cleverly tied it into a neat ponytail and paired it with an exquisite hair crown.
This look exudes both stability and exuberance, and really has the unique charm of a young general.
Concubine Ling stared at His Majesty in this attire, and her mind was involuntarily drawn back to the past.
Those past memories kept surging in my mind. When His Majesty was outside the Great Wall, he often dressed like this, with his black hair fluttering behind him.
Before she could think any more, Jun Zechen strode forward.
He personally reached out his hand and helped the imperial concubine up.
Afterwards, Su Jingyao and Jun Zechen walked side by side and headed towards the first carriage.
This carriage is extremely gorgeous, exuding the royal dignity everywhere. It is pulled by eight majestic horses, and the shining bridle and exquisite decorations are eye-catching.
The two of them walked to the carriage, stepped on the pedals that had been placed there, and got on steadily.
The rest of the concubines also boarded the carriages behind him according to their ranks.
This Royal Spring Hunt will start from the Qianyuan Gate of the Imperial Palace, pass through the long palace road, then drive to the wide avenue outside the Imperial Palace, and then drive all the way through the central avenue of the capital.
This arrangement is also to allow the people of the kingdom to witness the majesty of the royal family with their own eyes.
Finally, the carriage will leave the capital and arrive at Chunshou Pass outside the capital.
Outside the carriage, there were ten first-class guards of the third rank. They stood straight and looked majestic.
Behind them were fifty second-class guards and one hundred third-class guards. In addition, there was an army led by the Yulin general who carefully escorted them all the way.
In addition to these guards and troops in the open, Jun Zechen naturally also has his own secret guards. He will never put himself in danger easily.
Su Jingyao's father did not follow on this spring hunt. Since the emperor Jun Zechen went hunting, her father naturally became even busier.
However, her brother did follow behind the team, but the concubines were at the front of the team and could not see the court officials at all.
I should wait until I reach Chunshou Pass to find a way to see my brother. Thinking of this, Su Jingyao's eyes revealed a hint of anticipation.
