Chapter 86 Departure



"Master, the clothing department has already delivered all your clothes. Here are three sets of riding uniforms and two sets of skirts."

Miaoxia raised her head slightly, with a happy look 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's really beautiful. The Shangfu Bureau said that these two dresses were specially ordered by His Majesty to be made using the Shu brocade that was just delivered as tribute from Sichuan Province this year."

"There are only ten pieces of Shu brocade in the entire palace."

She has always been responsible for the master's clothing. Every time she sees the exquisite dresses and dazzling jewelry that His Majesty sends to the master, her heart is filled with joy.

Feel happy for the master.

Su Jingyao turned her head to look at the dress, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she nodded gently.

The dresses that the Shangfu Bureau usually makes for concubines above the rank of concubine are all long skirts that drag on the ground. Many of Su Jingyao's dresses are also of the ground-dragging style, giving people a feeling of luxury and elegance.

This time, because she was leaving the palace, the dress she made naturally would not drag on the ground. Although it lacked some gorgeous charm, it had a more elegant and lively beauty.

"Well, not bad." Su Jingyao said softly, Jun Zechen still has some vision.

Afterwards, Su Jingyao took light steps and slowly walked to the hanger where the dress was hanging, and walked around it slowly.

A delicate hand gently caressed the smooth, silky texture of the dress.

This is the unique experience that only power can bring in this world.

Shu brocade was exclusively for the royal family and was strictly prohibited from being sold to the public.

Each silk thread here is of uniform thickness, gleaming luster, and extremely strong. This kind of 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 Shu brocade is so precious. His Majesty didn't give it to Concubine Ling, but Concubine Ye got one. I guess she comes from a high-class family with generations of outstanding military achievements."

"But Concubine Lin got two horses. Could it be that His Majesty really likes Concubine Lin?"

"Miaoxia, please don't try to guess what your majesty is thinking."

Su Jingyao chuckled softly. Jun Zechen's heart was not so easy to win now.

After dressing up, Su Jingyao stepped 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 chariot carried by sixteen people. Along the way, she occasionally met several concubines who were also going to the spring hunt.

Except for Concubine Ling and Concubine Lin, who were the masters of the palace and could ride in sedan chairs, the rest of the people could only walk on foot.

Concubine Ling was sitting in the sedan chair. When she met the Imperial Concubine sitting on the phoenix sedan chair, the bitterness and jealousy in her heart surged like a tide, and she could not suppress it.

The eunuchs 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 chariot. She did not pay any attention to Concubine Ling, but looked straight into the distance with a solemn and majestic expression, showing the demeanor of a mother of the country.

Concubine Ling looked at the high and mighty Imperial Concubine with her heart filled with depression and helplessness, but she could do nothing about it.

He could only grit his teeth, then turned around and sat back in his sedan chair, a hint 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 chariot respectfully, not daring to overstep the boundaries in the slightest.

Su Jingyao led a group of palace concubines elegantly to the Qianyuan Gate. Soon, they heard a slight noise.

Jun Zechen's majestic imperial sedan also slowly arrived.

Su Jingyao took the lead and led the other concubines to salute in unison, saying in unison: "Your Majesty, your concubines pay their respects."

Everyone's face had just the right amount of respect on it.

Today, Jun Zechen was wearing a dark black dragon robe, looking particularly majestic and solemn.

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 appearance reveals both steadiness and exudes vigor and vitality, and he really looks like a young general with unique charm.

Concubine Ling stared at His Majesty's attire, and her mind was involuntarily drawn back to the past.

Those past memories kept surging in my mind. His Majesty often dressed like this when he was outside the Great Wall, 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 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 footrests that had been placed there, and got on steadily.

The other concubines also boarded the carriages behind them according to their ranks.

This royal spring hunting event started from the Qianyuan Gate of the Imperial Palace, passed through the long palace road, then drove to the wide avenue outside the palace, and then drove 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 imperial carriage, there were ten first-class guards of the third rank, standing straight and majestic.

Following closely behind were fifty second-class guards and one hundred third-class guards. In addition, there was an army led by General Yulin 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 accompany the spring hunt this time. Since Emperor Jun Zechen went hunting, her father was naturally 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.

It’s better to wait until we reach Chunshou Pass and then find a way to see my brother. Thinking of this, Su Jingyao’s eyes revealed a hint of anticipation.
