The biography of Concubine Lin in the harem

Chapter 89

Yu Shenyan Yao Tianya Road (4)

Mingyuan, also known as "Royal Garden", is [-] miles away from Zi'ao City, facing Lingyun Shufeng outside the city.Birds and beasts were raised in the Ming Garden, and the emperor's family members shot in the hunting garden from time to time to enjoy themselves on horseback.

Mingyuan is different from Nanyuan Campus. Nanyuan Campus has always been a place for riding and archery training. The scenery is monotonous. In case of strong winds, the sky will be full of yellow sand. Strange cypresses, rugged rocks, pomegranate orchards, cherry orchards, daylily gardens in Zhongyin, and grape planting from the Western Regions, which is called the "Grape Palace". There are countless scenic spots.Every year in the blooming season, exotic flowers and plants bloom all over the place. Looking from a distance, it is a scene of vying for splendor, gorgeous scenery and pleasant scenery.

The sky is clear and bright, and the sun is as bright as new make-up. Zhu Chengbi sits in the middle of the phoenix seat on the high phoenix-covered platform, Xuanling and Zhu Rou sit on the left, and Yihe and Yuanfei sit on the right. The concubines, concubines Rugui and concubines Rong Gui sat further away.

Seeing the princes and princes entering the arena one after another, Concubine De held onto her ivory-handled round fan and covered her lips with a smile: "It's rare to see King Qishan, so I don't know how good you are at riding and shooting?"

As your concubine looks at a row of weeping willows not far away, there is a tender green color in it, and there is a blazing golden sun, like a vigorous tide, coming in waves, and she can't help smiling: "It's late February, although it hasn't arrived yet. When the flowers are in full bloom, it is also full of spring and full of vitality. The scenery of the Mingyuan is quite beautiful, but hunting is second. It is also very good to be able to come."

Concubine De sneered, and turned to look at Xuan Ling. At this time, Xuan Ling and Yi Zhen were walking down the martial arts viewing platform. Li Chang had already led their horses and was waiting below the stage.

Concubine Yuan smiled, and said to Zhu Chengbi: "The emperor and the prince are both wearing maroon riding and archery outfits today, they are really like father and son!"

Zhu Chengbi heard the thorns in his words, but only smiled lightly: "Actually, if you look closely, the emperor's cavalry suit is embroidered with dragon patterns in red gold thread, which is quite dazzling, and it looks crimson in the sunlight. .”

Concubine Yuan smiled lightly: "Yes, after all, the empress dowager has more discernment, unlike concubines who are clumsy and tongue-tied and annoying."

Zhu Chengbi remained silent, just picked up the open piece of moon white tea on the case and drank it in one gulp, and said calmly: "The hunting has begun."

Xuan Qing and Xuan Fen were young, so naturally they would not come, and this round of hunting, there were only Xuan Ling, Yi Zhen, Xuan Xun and the other princes.

There was a sudden sound of drums off the field, and Xuanling's Dawan BMW and Yichen's Qingyu BMW flew out first. Xuanling held a long bow with red lacquered rhino horns, and Yizhen held a sky-shattering bow with a piece of golden ox horn. They were the most eye-catching , Xuan Xun and others pursued closely.

"In this season, all animals are slowly recovering from the winter's stiffness, so it is most suitable for hunting." Concubine Rong held the silk and was eager to try, "I used to be in Gekun, and I also liked to shoot and hunt on horseback. I often came back with a full load, even men None of them are my opponents, but it's a pity that I can't now."

Concubine De glanced at Concubine Rong Gui, with a trace of disdain in her eyes, raised the cup of sweet orange fragrance in her hand and drank it slowly, the sweet taste made her smile all the more charming: "Da Zhou is not Ge Kun, Rong Your concubine is already a concubine of the Tian family, so naturally she should abide by her duties as a concubine, and don't always say things that are not acceptable to the public."

Concubine Rong tilted her head, and the pear blossom jasper earrings on her earlobe swayed slightly, revealing the bright sunlight: "You can't be on the stage? I'm afraid the emperor will be unhappy if the concubine de concubine said so?"

Concubine De Yang raised the gold-streaked pine flower handkerchief in her hand, and there were dots of smiles between her white teeth: "Concubine Rong's verbal skill is getting better and better, it seems that I have been with Concubine Ru for a long time, naturally You can also learn that set of glib tongue."

Seeing Zhu Chengbi frowning again and again, Zhu breathed softly to persuade: "When concubines are together, it is always easy to have verbal disputes, and it is inevitable."

Zhu Chengbi took a deep look at Concubine De, and shook his head: "That's all right, if the heart is still more vicious than the lips and tongue, it will be a bad virtue."

After galloping deep into the jungle, Xuan Ling saw a deer grazing quietly in front of him. He hurriedly reined in the steed, and quietly drew a golden arrow. With his right hand, he drew the longbow with red lacquer rhino horns to look like a full moon. Unexpectedly, the deer suddenly straightened up, sniffed its nose, and jumped into the bushes beside it.Xuan Ling was startled, and accidentally dropped the bow and arrow in his hand.

Yizhen happened to walk to Xuanling's side, and when he saw this, he leaned forward and picked up the bow and arrow, and said, "What's wrong with the emperor? Don't be too hasty!"

Xuanling glanced at Yizhen lazily, and said indifferently: "Thank you, Uncle Emperor, Regent, for your advice."

Yizhen grabbed a few young grasses at random, rubbed them into foam and sprinkled them in the air: "The emperor is now in the upwind direction, and the deer smelled the smell of the emperor, so it is only natural for the deer to jump into the bushes."

Before the words were finished, the deer rushed out again, Xuan Ling hurriedly said: "Quick! Quick! It came out again!"

In the blink of an eye, Yizhen confirmed the buckle and tapped the string, and with a sound of "swish", the golden arrow pierced straight into the deer's body. It struggled a few times before finally collapsing to the ground.

The guards who came from afar cheered and cheered, but they didn't see the arrow shot by Yichen, they only recognized the golden feathered arrow on the deer, and they all shouted: "The emperor is good at archery! The emperor is good at archery!"

Yizhen smiled triumphantly, and threw the red lacquer rhino horn longbow into Xuanling's hands, holding a meaningful smile: "This king's political achievements, in fact, ultimately have to be attributed to the emperor's wisdom. There are many things, and the emperor doesn't have to worry about talent." yes."

Xuanling sneered coldly: "At the beginning, what my uncle, the Regent, taught me was not just riding and archery skills, but more about the principles of governing the country and controlling people. I don't want to be a useless emperor who only dominates. Why pretend to be confused?" After finishing speaking, Xuan Ling clamped his horse's belly and left slowly.

In the jungle, a bamboo-green skirt flashed past, and disappeared into the greenery in an instant.

When Xuanling, Yizhen and the others returned to the Guanwutai, it was almost dusk. Xuanling hunted four deer, six lynxes, six foxes, wild cats, and twelve rabbits; He hunted four deer, seven lynxes, nine foxes, ten pheasants, fourteen rabbits, two wild boars, and three wild wolves; Xuan Xun was slightly weaker, but he also had two deer and three lynxes. There are six rabbits and five pheasants.

Zhu Chengbi said with a warm smile: "This is the first time for the emperor to hunt, it looks very good. But, after all, the regent is better at riding and shooting."

Concubine Ru said with a smile: "The emperor's uncle, the regent, is in his prime, so naturally he has profound skills."

Yizhen calmly brushed away Concubine Yuan's hand holding a soft bag that was about to wipe her sweat, and smiled with her hands behind her back: "The emperor is young, but given time, he will definitely surpass this king. When this king was young, he hunted with the first emperor. It's also at a disadvantage." Yi Zhen seemed to have unintentionally glanced at Xuan Ling, and raised his voice, "Your Majesty, don't be too impatient."

Zhu Rou pursed her lips and smiled, and ordered Zheng Rong and Shang Lan to come forward: "The emperor and the emperor's uncle, the regent, are both tired, put in the sweet orange fragrance they brought together."

Xuan Ling smiled softly: "Wan Wan wins my heart the most."

Not sure what to say, but it was Li Changzhi who hurried up to the martial arts viewing platform persistently: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, there is news from the palace that His Highness has a fever."

Zhu Chengbi was shocked, and hurriedly ordered Zhu Xi: "Hurry up and pass on the message, and return to the palace immediately!"

Hurrying all the way, finally rushed back to Ziao City before Haishi. Although Zhu Chengbi was exhausted, he cared about the emperor and grandson, and hurried to Zhangde Palace with Xuanling, Zhu Rouze and others. At that time, all the concubines All here.

Seeing Zhu Chengbi and others entering the hall, Zhu Yixiu got up and knelt down in a hurry: "May the queen mother be safe, the emperor be safe, and the queen mother be blessed and safe!"

Zhu Chengbi raised his hand, with an anxious look on his face: "No, how is Yu Ze?"

Mentioning Yu Ze, Zhu Yixiu couldn't help weeping secretly, and his sad face suddenly appeared: "Princess Liu and Imperial Physician Meng have already been here, but recently the weather has been repeated, and Ze'er is weak, so he has a fever because of some wind and cold."

Zhu Chengbi said angrily: "Although the spring came earlier this year, it should not be neglected. What does the nanny do? It is so useless, so she is going to the Shenxing Division to do hard labor!"

The two wet nurses were so frightened that their whole bodies trembled, they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed like garlic: "The empress dowager forgive me!"

Seeing this, Zhu Rou persuaded softly: "The empress, the wet nurse has always served the eldest son of the emperor Qin Jin, if she is sent to Shen Xingsi, I am afraid that there will be no better people around the eldest son to serve him, and it will not be good for the eldest son's recovery."

Zhu Yixiu also said: "The empress, what the queen empress said, why not let the wet nurse redeem her merits, wait for Ze'er to recover, and then let the empress dispose of her, how about it?"

Zhu Chengbi pondered for a moment and said: "Forget it, you two just serve Yuze well, if you can get better soon, maybe Aijia will forgive you."

Seeing the opportunity, Wan Mingyu came out with more and more people, and said in a manly voice: "The empress dowager is also tired after rushing back to the palace, why not go back to Yining Palace to rest earlier, the concubine is here to accompany the concubine Xian."

Zhu Yixiu was startled for a moment, then immediately suppressed the astonishment in his eyes, and said with a quiet smile, "Sister Ru has a heart."

When all the people were waiting to leave, Zhu Yixiu glanced at Wan Mingyu lightly: "Which song is Ru Guifei singing?"

Wan Mingyu smiled and agreed, and only supported Zhu Yixiu to sit down slowly, Fang said: "The concubine just feels sorry for His Highness, so I stayed here to comfort the empress. Although the concubine is not blessed and cannot keep the child in her womb, she can still be considered a mother after all. , so understand the pain in the empress's heart."

Zhu Yixiu's willow eyebrows that grew into the temples slightly raised: "However, since the death of the Zhou family, the noble concubine has complained to me a lot, and even turned against the concubine Li afterwards. Do you think that the concubine will trust you?"

"Naturally, the empress trusts the concubine more, but the empress also has to be careful. I'm afraid the empress is not very clear about the details of the concubine. In fact, in the final analysis, there is no direct conflict of interests between the concubine and the concubine. Concubine After thinking about it for a long time, I also understood a truth. What the empress hopes most is that the eldest son of the emperor can be crowned as the crown prince, isn't it? But what concubines need is the safety of themselves and the family, so it will not hinder the empress. " Wan Mingyu smiled peacefully, and complained, "The previous entanglement was just because the concubine was confused, so don't take it to heart."

Zhu Yixiu stared at Wan Mingyu's tender, bud-like face, his thoughts turned like a wheel. He didn't know why Wan Mingyu suddenly showed his affection again, and he also wondered whether she took the opportunity to make him suspicious of the concubine or had other ideas. Tu, however, still maintained a warm and gentle smile, patted Wan Mingyu's hand and said: "If you can think like this, I am very happy. I always remember that when you first entered the palace, you came here from time to time. Zhang De Palace is talking with Ben Gong. If you have time in the future, come and sit down often."

There was a cold smile in Wan Mingyu's heart and a hint of secret joy surged up, she got up slowly, and blessed to the end: "Concubine, thank you lady!"
