fleeting photos

When Xie Jin returned to Xihe Palace, he first went to Jiang Zhao's bedroom.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhao was teasing Jindou, squatting on the ground with a freshly dried fish from Gener Yushanfang, luring the greedy little raccoon slave to beat him with his arms and meowing.

Jindou has a bad temper by nature and doesn't like to talk to people very much. Jiang Zhao doesn't like it very much either. One person and one cat never bother to see each other. Jiang Zhao even clamored to deprive it of the title of mighty general.

Xie Jin really didn't expect that these two guys could coexist peacefully when she was not around.

Hearing the noise, Jiang Zhao turned his head to look. Jin Dou moved quickly, took the opportunity to snatch the dried fish from her hand, dragged it to a corner and began to chew.Jiang Zhao was not as knowledgeable as it was, so he clapped his hands and stood up.

"I'm back." She looked at Xie Jin, her eyes were so soft that it made one's heart tremble.

Xie Jin responded, went forward and grabbed her hand that had held the dried fish, took out a handkerchief and wiped it lightly, but felt that the smell was hard to get rid of, and urged her to clean her hands before giving up.

Jiang Zhao was in a good mood, pointing at the golden bean gnawing on the dried fish in the corner and said with a smile: "It's only been here for a long time, the whole thing has grown a lot, but it's still very greedy, no wonder Jiang Han likes it."

The little princess is chubby, and she is the most active in eating. Sometimes she thinks of her parents, or has a fight, and she always has to cry, but she will never miss the meal. After staying in the palace for a while, a little I didn't see any weight loss.

Jindou, like her, is greedy and loves to eat. It is round and round, and its golden hair is well-groomed and smooth.

Jiang Han likes to play with Jindou very much. Ever since he knew that Master kept such a little pet in the Palace of the Imperial Sister, he often came to see him. He mainly wanted to play with Jindou and chased it up and down.

It's rare that although Jindou has a bad temper, he is very tolerant towards children. He has never stretched out his sharp claws to Jiang Han. Sometimes when she scratches her, he just burrows into Xie Jin's arms in aggrieved manner, meowing twice, even if he has told him It's gone.

The little raccoon slave who was gnawing on the dried fish seemed to understand what someone was saying, so he turned his head and yelled. Seeing Xie Jin there, he ran over and rubbed a few cat hairs on her skirt, and then ran back to continue gnawing the fish dry.

Xie Jin smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand to pat the hem of the skirt, and said to Jiang Zhao: "The palace people think it is cute, and they always like to secretly feed it something to eat, it never refuses anyone who comes, and it goes into the stomach.

And it is lazy by nature, it only loves to sleep under the sun on weekdays, and it doesn't like to move except being chased by the little princess, how can it not get fat? "

"People are obese and have diseases, and cats are no exception. It's better to control it in the future."

The more Jiang Zhao looked at the golden bean, the more he felt that it was fat, and suddenly thought of something, he said to Xie Jin: "Let Xiao Yuanzi tell the palace people not to feed it too much, and I will go to Yanggu Qiushou next month, and take it as a forward. It is worthy of its name as a mighty general."

The Dameng royal family pays attention to both civil and martial arts. Every year, one of the spring search and autumn hunt is always selected. It is not only for the examination of the royal family's children, but also allows court officials to bring their family members with them. They can choose available people from their descendants. The emperor had blue eyes, and most of them were assigned to serve in the imperial guards, and if they were lucky, they would directly serve as imperial guards, all of whom had a bright future.

In addition, hunting is also used to demonstrate the majesty of the royal family and warn all civil and military officials.

A few years ago, Jiang Zhao wanted to keep his filial piety for the late emperor, so he was exempted from this procedure. It was not until this year that the filial piety period had passed, and an official from the Ministry of Rites wrote a proposal. After Jiang Zhao asked about the state treasury situation, he nodded in agreement.

Although Xie Jin has never participated in hunting, but he has read so many books in the past, and he has some understanding. He knows that the so-called forward in the hunting ground is actually a position to help the emperor shoot and hunt, so as not to lose his beauty.

After all, although it is said that they are both civil and military, not all the people who have been able to become great treasures throughout the ages are not all those who have both civil and military skills.

Thinking of this, Xie Jin glanced at Jiang Zhao with some resentment, then looked at the tiger-headed little Jindouer, and sighed: "Other emperors set up forwards to prevent themselves from being ashamed, and if your majesty really let this threat General Meng became your striker, that would be a joke for civil and military officials."

"I was just joking." Jiang Zhao raised his eyes, stretched out his arms and took Xie Jin into his arms, half hugged her and said, "The hunting ground is actually not interesting. I'm afraid you'll be bored, so I'll take Jindouer there with you." be with you."

She did what she said, and set off for Yanggu Qiushou half a month later, and she really brought golden beans with her.

Aunt Qingshi said that she was old and weak, so she didn't accompany her driver and stayed in the palace to take care of Jiang Han.

Jiang Zhao thought, since he was going to take the imperial examination, why not take the two younger sisters out of the palace and let Jiang Yin and Jiang Xi go with them.

Yanggu is located on the outskirts of Kyoto. It is a natural valley. It has been guarded by the royal family since the former Jin Dynasty.

Jiang Zhao rode in a carriage from the palace to the suburbs. He was accompanied by heavy soldiers and guards. He stopped to change his clothes when he arrived at a place with few people.

Although he was serving and changing clothes by himself, he had seen Jiang Zhao in street clothes, but Xie Jin had never seen her riding a horse, so he lifted a corner of the curtain of the carriage and peeked over.

The first emperor was so happy that he paid great attention to hunting every year, even twice a year, hunting in spring and autumn.

He also likes to show his demeanor to his concubines and children, and he can often bring half of the harem, including Lu Yanrong and Jiang Zhao's mother and daughter who were still very favored back then.

So Jiang Zhao is not the first time to come to the hunting ground, she has learned to ride a horse long ago.

The young empress took the whip from the guards, and climbed onto the horse's back deftly.

The hunting uniform she wears is simple in style but embroidered in an unassuming way. It is made of vermilion as the base, and the black clothes are embroidered with silver, with gold thread seams. There are large totems of divine birds on the chest, back and back. With this movement, those divine birds seemed to spread their wings and soar into the sky.

But Jiang Zhao's face was cold, and he rode the horse around the spot for several times until he tamed the BMW under his seat before he smiled, and the tails of his eyes slightly raised, as if the skylight was shining through the eyes, which was indescribably bright.

Xie Jin was stupefied for a moment, until Jiang Zhao walked away from the horse and the carriage started again, then covered the curtain of the carriage and went back to sit down.

She had known that Jiang Zhao was good-looking. She had lovely features since she was a child, and later she grew up, and she had a beautiful girlish appearance, which always gave her the idea that "no one in the world can match my Zhao".

But in the past, she mostly looked at it from the perspective of sisters, even if there were ripples in her heart, she only regarded it as human nature.

Looking at it from a different angle now, the younger sister who used to only feel good-looking has become the person of his heart, and it can make her realize what it means to be in love for ten thousand years at a glance at an age where love is like water.

No wonder, she would cause people to worry about her for no reason, and she would rather hand over ten thousand dollars and stay by her side without a name or title.

Thinking of this, Xie Jin couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive, and felt uncomfortable sitting in the large carriage specially designed for kings, and couldn't help thinking that Zhao Chengming would most likely come with him this autumn hunting.

I don't know if he got the chance, he would secretly go to tell Jiang Zhao what kind of heartfelt heart, what kind of loyalty to show.

Xie Jin thought wildly all the way, until the convoy arrived in Yanggu, and Yuan Xiang came from nowhere to ask her to get off the car and enter Wang's tent, and finally withdrew his thoughts, and followed him to find Jiang Zhao with a low eyebrow.

The autumn hunting lasted for three days, and everyone had to stay in Yanggu for two nights. Before Shengjia arrived, the tents had already been set up, and all the daily necessities had been prepared. The king’s tent where the emperor lived was even more spacious and the interior luxury.

Jiang Zhao was sitting on a chair drinking tea. Yuan Xiang took Xie Jin with him and retreated. Xie Jin glanced at Jiang Zhao and looked around the inside of the tent. He saw that the tables, chairs and beds were all complete, and there were still calligraphy and paintings hanging on the curtain walls. Items such as bows and arrows, it can be seen that a lot of thought has been used.

"How do you feel? You lived here with me for the past two days, and when you found something missing, you asked Xiao Yuanzi to do it."

Jiang Zhao put down the teacup and waved to Xie Jin, and when she approached, he took her hand and hugged him into his arms, and whispered softly in her ear: "If you feel uncomfortable living here, you can For these two days, just bear with it."

Xie Jin sat on her lap, a little helpless, but seeing her smiling and happy, he couldn't say anything to disappoint her, so he obeyed his heart and circled her neck, "Compared with the palace, here is also It's just a difference in shape."

Jiang Zhao nodded and did not speak again.

The two touched their heads for a moment, but Xie Jin still felt uncomfortable, afraid that someone would come in and break him, so he stretched out his hand and pushed Jiang Zhao, and said in a low voice, "Put me down quickly, it won't be good to be seen by others. "

"It doesn't matter if people see it." Jiang Zhao was calm, grabbed her thin waist with both hands, leaned over and kissed the corner of her lips, "Sooner or later, people will know, I don't want to hide Hidden with you for a lifetime."

Xie Jin saw that although her words were soft, her eyes were still stubborn, and knowing that she couldn't be persuaded, she sighed softly and said: "You have to go out to preside over the hunt later, don't let your legs go numb again."

Jiang Zhao chuckled, and said: "I can't hug you because you are so skinny, and your legs are numb after sitting for a while, that's my reason, you still have to learn from Han'er and Jin Douer, you'd better get fatter .”

Having said that, he put the person down gently.

Xie Jin found a chair nearby and sat down, looked at her slightly sideways, and said deliberately: "I am a few years older than you, and sooner or later I will lose my color and love you. If I get fatter, I will kill myself. ?”

Jiang Zhao raised his brows lightly, looked into her eyes deeply, held her hand and said, "Don't think too much about things that are destined not to happen. Will come and grab you with me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Jin was stunned, and was about to say something when Yuan Xiang walked into the tent with his eyebrows down, looked at his toes, stood at the door and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, everything is ready outside, just waiting for you to compete." Here we go."

The whole country of the emperor is chasing the deer. Before the hunting starts, the emperor will personally draw a bow to shoot the deer, and then give some prizes as rewards, so as to encourage the royal family and the children of all officials to compete and show off their skills.

Jiang Zhao stood up, told Xie Jin to wait in the tent, and led Yuan Xiang out.

It is said that the emperor is chasing the deer. If he can’t shoot the deer, wouldn’t it be ridiculous and generous, so the choice of deer is also very particular. Most of them are not wild, but raised in the imperial beast workshop, and they are brought here after being fed with medicine. They can’t run. , I couldn't even jump, so I had to let the emperor draw the bow and shoot the arrow, so he died.

Jiang Zhao also felt bored, but although she could ride a horse, she was not good at shooting and hunting. If she really lost the face of the royal family because of her bravery, then this large-scale royal autumn hunting would be held in vain.

So she honestly shot the sick deer to death, which drew applause from the officials.

The vanguard officer appointed by Jiang Zhao himself this time is He Yuansheng, the youngest general in the imperial guards. She threw her golden thread bow over, and seeing that He Yuansheng received it accurately, she ordered: "I'm not feeling well. , I won’t take part in the hunting, you can hunt more delicious prey for me, and let’s have a bonfire dinner tonight.”

She looks strong and strong, her breath is stable, and she doesn't seem to be in the slightest discomfort, but no one dared to expose it, they only thought that the emperor was young and greedy for fun, and didn't want to get involved in hunting, so they all gave her a face and cooperated to ask His Majesty to take care Eucharist.

Jiang Zhao gave another word of encouragement to the young people who participated in the hunt, and waved them off.
