To put it simply, the Autumn Hunting is an event organized by the royal family of Dongling Kingdom. Naturally, only those who receive the invitation can participate. Moreover, each invitation will specify in detail whether family members can be brought and how many family members can be brought. It is very strict.
Those who can send invitations are naturally royal family members, but not just any royal family member can send them. Only those who are powerful are qualified.
The Queen was a member of the harem, so it was naturally inconvenient for her to send an invitation to Zhu Yunxi, a court official, in her own capacity, so she asked the Prince to do it for her.
The prince's attitude towards Zhu Yunxi had been wavering recently, and he also wanted to take advantage of this hunting trip to test Zhu Yunxi again, so he readily agreed, and the invitation was soon sent to Zhu Yunxi's residence.
The autumn hunting is scheduled for November 20th, which is less than ten days away.
Mo Zifan took the invitation card that Zhu Yunxi had casually tossed to him after reading it, and after carefully examining it, he wondered:
"Master, you are allowed to go up there alone, so can Wen Liang and I go?" He has never seen the annual autumn hunting, and he really wants to go and see it!
Mo Zifan's face was filled with anticipation. Zhu Yunxi looked at him and asked, "Do you really want to go?"
"Yes! I heard that autumn hunting is very interesting, and this is the royal hunting ground. Not everyone can go there casually. Of course I want to go." Mo Zifan's eyes were shining.
"Then you go for me." Zhu Yunxi continued.
Mo Zifan subconsciously nodded and said, "Okay!" After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Master, you're not going?"
"No."
The autumn hunting was for the civil officials to show off, and most military generals were not invited, unless they were generals who had been granted titles of nobility or king.
Because if all the military generals go, how many prey can those fancy civil officials catch?
So Zhu Yunxi was not originally invited, otherwise she should have received the invitation two months ago. Why did she receive it only now?
It's obvious that it was added suddenly.
If this is the case, then there must be some ulterior motive.
What could the royal family plot against him? He was the only one who could do that.
It was either a Hongmen Banquet or something else terrible, so he wouldn't go.
Zhu Yunxi saw it clearly, but Mo Zifan was confused for a long time.
He hesitated and said, "But this is an invitation from the Crown Prince. If you don't go, Master, won't it arouse the Crown Prince's suspicion? The Crown Prince has been suspicious of you recently, hasn't he? Shouldn't we behave more obediently?"
Mo Zifan asked questions when he didn't understand, and he asked very seriously.
"The Crown Prince's suspicion of me isn't due to my disobedience. These past few days, I've remained peaceful, indicating he hasn't received any concrete evidence. So, why would I, still recovering from my injuries, rush to participate in a hunting expedition? That would only make me look guilty."
Zhu Yunxi answered seriously, but actually he was just too lazy to go.
I said this for Mo Zifan to hear, so that he wouldn't feel depressed about not being able to go on the autumn hunting.
After hearing what Zhu Yunxi said, Mo Zifan nodded in agreement and said, "Right, right, right. Master, you are a foresighted person. If I don't go, what should I do with the invitation? Throw it away?"
This time, Zhu Yunxi didn't nod. Instead, she looked over coldly and said, "You dare to throw away the prince's invitation?"
Mo Zifan, who had already walked to the trash can, quickly pressed the invitation against his chest and said, "I didn't throw it away."
At this time, Wen Liang came to the study.
"Master, the wife of Lord Liu, the Minister of Justice, requests an audience."
