An Lingrong is reborn, the reorganized team is killing like crazy

Chapter 60 Snow-capped mountains and greenery

The next morning, An Lingrong and Noble Lady Fucha went to pay their respects to the Queen as usual, and when they came out, they invited her to stroll around the garden together.

The Old Summer Palace was built relying on natural mountains and waters. Some of its gardens follow the shape of the mountains and the flow of water, and are winding and tortuous, unlike the square ones in the Forbidden City, which makes them even more interesting.

There are towering ancient trees in the garden, and unknown wild flowers scattered freely on the roadside. This kind of scenery without any artificiality always has a kind of free beauty. An Lingrong and Noble Lady Fucha walked while admiring the scenery and enjoying the peace and happiness.

"Lingrong, look over there? Is the Emperor hunting?" Noble Lady Fucha pointed ahead. An Lingrong looked over there and indeed saw a few people riding horses, holding bows and arrows in their hands, pretending to aim at a pair of falcons in the sky.

With a whoosh sound, the long sword cut through the sky, passed through the pair of falcons, and disappeared into a nearby patch of black pines.

An Lingrong looked in the direction where the falcon fell and saw Zhen Huan and Huanbi taking a step back in fear.

"What great swordsmanship! I've heard that Prince Guo is both civil and military, but I didn't expect his archery skills to be so amazing!" Noble Lady Fucha pulled An Lingrong and exclaimed, her face full of joy.

"You haven't heard of Prince Guo, right? He is very popular in the capital, and many famous ladies in the capital want to marry him! Come on, let's go and take a look!" Seeing that An Lingrong had a wooden expression, Noble Lady Fucha helped An Lingrong walk towards the hunting ground.

Over there, Zhen Huan noticed the movement and looked towards An Lingrong. She saw the two of them walking forward together. She also saw the emperor and others, but did not follow them.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health and good health!" An Lingrong and Noble Lady Fucha walked closer and saluted the emperor.

"No need to be so polite. Why are you here?" The emperor said with a smile and extended his hand towards An Lingrong.

"Your Majesty, my sister Fu Cha and I were enjoying the scenery in the garden when we suddenly heard the sound of an arrow cutting through the sky. We then saw the arrow pierce through the pair of falcons. So my sister and I came over to see who had such excellent archery skills." An Lingrong took the emperor's hand and stood up. Her voice was more joyful than usual when she spoke.

"Seventeenth Master, did you hear that? Concubine Yi is praising you!" The emperor smiled and looked at Prince Guo. An Lingrong also turned her head to look beside the emperor, where not only Prince Guo was standing, but also Cao Qinmo and the guard Feng Chi.

"My young prince thanks Concubine Yi for the compliment! Concubine Yi thinks that my young prince's archery skills are good, but that's because she has never seen my royal brother's archery skills. My royal brother's archery skills were taught by Professor Baturu, the best archery teacher in Manchuria." Prince Guo bowed, his movements were elegant and his tone was humble.

"Your archery was taught by the Emperor himself. He loves you like a child. Your archery is also excellent!" The Emperor looked at Prince Guo with an indescribable expression on his face. An Lingrong knew that this man's suspicion had come back again...

"Your Majesty, is what Prince Guo said true? I have never seen Your Majesty shoot arrows! When will Your Majesty open my eyes?"

An Lingrong stepped forward and took the emperor's arm, looking at him with admiration. The emperor turned around and saw An Lingrong looking at him with bright eyes, and his heart was instantly delighted.

"I'll take you hunting some other day!" The emperor retracted his expression, smiled, patted An Lingrong's hand and said.

"Your Majesty, please do not deceive me." An Lingrong spoke immediately with a look of joy on her face.

"Of course..." the emperor said, and then laughed.

An Lingrong looked at Prince Guo, who gave her a look of gratitude. An Lingrong's expression remained calm, still gently holding the emperor's arm.

"Your Majesty." At this time, a young eunuch who followed behind presented the pair of falcons and lowered his head to speak.

"Old Seventeen! Great archery skills! Reward!" The emperor was overjoyed. Looking at the arrow that pierced through the heads of two falcons, he offered a reward!

"Your Majesty, I thank you!" Prince Guo bowed. The emperor waved his hand and Prince Guo stood up.

After the hunt was over, Prince Guo stepped forward and said that Yuezhou had just presented a batch of porcelain as tribute and he was anxious to see them, so he bowed and took his leave, his face full of anxiety.

"You are really a lonely man, and no one can take care of you. I think we should find you a wife who can take good care of you and control your bad behavior." The emperor smiled and waved his hand to approve. Prince Guo turned around and left with a smile as if he had been pardoned.

After the party ended, the emperor took An Lingrong, Noble Lady Fucha and Noble Lady Cao back to the Qinzheng Palace.

When they arrived, Zhen Huan was already waiting there. It must be that the emperor had sent someone to summon her in advance.

"You're here?" When the emperor saw Zhen Huan, his smile became even more intense. The four of them were all nobles, so they bowed to each other before sitting down.

Several people came over, only the emperor had a sedan chair, and a little palace maid brought up tea, and everyone picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Your Majesty is in a good mood. Where did you find such good tea?" Zhen Huan took a sip and looked at the emperor with a smile.

"You are a connoisseur of good things. This is Old Seventeen. He spent a lot of effort to find this half pound of Snow Top Green Tea. It is truly a good tea!" The emperor said with a smile, sitting cross-legged on the Arhat bed, looking at Zhen Huan with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan smiled and said, "Your Highness is really thoughtful. I heard that this snow-topped tea grows on the steep peaks of the extremely cold north. It is extremely difficult to pick. There are only a dozen or so plants in the world. Because it is nourished by snow water all year round, the tea tastes fresh and cool. It is extremely rare."

After saying this, Zhen Huan looked around and said, "I heard that the emperor and the prince had just had a great time riding and shooting, how come the prince disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

"I guess when he heard that my sister is as beautiful as a fairy, he hurried away to avoid suspicion..." Concubine Cao put down the teacup in her hand and looked at the emperor and Zhen Huan with a smile.

"Sister, you are praising me too much." Zhen Huan's expression changed slightly and she looked at the emperor with a smile.

Seeing that the emperor did not speak and only played with the rosary in his hand, Zhen Huan continued to pout, "It must be that the prince heard that I am plain-looking and was afraid of being frightened, so he hid away..."

"Your Majesty, listen, Sister Wan is so humble, so how should we mediocre people deal with ourselves?" Cao Qinmo took a peeled grape and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor did not take it, but looked at An Lingrong and said, "Rong'er, how about you try this tea too?"

"Of course it is excellent, but I am stupid and didn't know this tea is so precious. I have already drunk a cup, and just like the legend says, I can't taste the ginseng fruit anymore." An Lingrong replied with a faint smile. It was because she was really thirsty after walking all the way.

"Hahaha...what's the harm? Xiao Xiazi, serve another cup of tea to Concubine Yi." The emperor thought An Lingrong's behavior was really cute, and his face was instantly delighted. He stretched out his hand to An Lingrong and said, "Come, come to my side."

An Lingrong sat down at the other end of the Luohan bed. Xiao Xiazi quickly brought her another cup of Snow-Topped Green Tea. An Lingrong took a sip and said, "It tastes refreshing and sweet. It's really good tea. Master Seventeen is really thoughtful."
