As he wanted to retract his gaze, Ayu suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a staring at her not far away.

She frowned slightly, turned her head to look over, the person who came did not avoid or dodge, took a few steps forward, bowed to her, "I wish you a blessing to the concubine."

Chen Dingkang lowered his head slightly, and the corners of his lips seemed to have a smile, and it was just right to be proud of him.

For some reason, Ayu remembered that he had just stared at her gaze, which made her feel a little oppressed. For some reason, Ayu felt a little resistant and nodded coldly to him. Without even saying anything, she turned around and left.

Chen Dingkang did not stop her, but after she left, he stood up slowly, raised his eyebrows lightly as if there were no, the amplitude was very light, and it seemed that there was nothing.

After her figure disappeared, a hilarious voice came from behind her. Chen Dingkang turned around and happened to see Luo Qian looking at the queen with a heartache and said:

"Sister, you've lost weight."

A simple sentence of dissatisfaction caused the queen to be stunned, then chuckled and wiped his sweat:

"The summer is hot, so my elder sister has no appetite. It's good that she will be like this when the summer passes."

Luo Qian didn't know whether he should believe it or not, but nodded.

The queen looked behind him, narrowed her eyes and asked him, "How could Ah Qi come suddenly?"

Luo Qian never concealed her and said bluntly: "It was Mr. Chen who told me that the elder sister arrived."

Chen Dingkang suddenly told him that the Empress should have arrived. He had not seen his elder sister for a long time and was so happy that he rushed over.

Upon hearing this, the queen's eyes changed slightly. She wanted to say something. Chen Dingkang came over from behind Luo Qian and saluted respectfully:

"I'm going to see the Empress, Empress Jin An."

The queen swallowed what she wanted to say, and she smiled faintly: "Mr. Chen and A Qi seem to have a good relationship."

What's good? She had never heard of any involvement between Aqi and Chen Dingkang before, but today it's strange.

When Chen Dingkang said something tentative to her, his expression did not change at all, and he blocked him back without any softness or hardness: "The little marquis is a mellow personality. If he can have a good relationship with the little marquis, it will be the honor of the minister."

He added the word Ruo, and the tentative look in the queen's eyes disappeared.

Seeing this, Chen Dingkang's expression remained unchanged, but he sneered in his heart.

The emperor was afraid of the Chen Mansion. Even if the Luohou Mansion was deeply loved by the holy heart, he would not dare to have a close relationship with him.

In just a few short sentences, Luo Qian seemed to notice something was wrong. He was not a fool. The old marquis taught him day by day and he was a little sensitive to the situation in the court. Chen Dingkang had always been unfamiliar with him. Today, he suddenly mentioned a sentence about the elder sister's arrival. It seemed unintentional, but who knew what he was thinking.

The young man kept his eyebrows closed, and the excitement he had when he saw the elder sister finally faded.

——

Ayu was not aware of what happened later. She had been in the carriage for most of the day and was indeed a little uncomfortable. She lay in the tent for half a day. When she woke up again, it was already dark outside.

She sat up with her body and let out a breath of depression. The groggy in her mind dissipated, and she felt completely alive.

Candles were lit in the tent, and a warm light was radiated through the lampshade.

Zhou Qi hurried over to serve her and stood up, and Ayu touched her forehead: "Have you been here?"

Zhou Qi shook her head: "No, but the emperor just sent Eunuch Liu to come over and let the Empress wake up and go straight there."

Ayu didn't ask where to go, and Zhou Qi said straight: "Eunuch Liu is still waiting outside."

Ayu, who had originally been slow, stood up and said, "Why don't you call me?"

"The empress is sleeping well, and I dare not disturb you."

Zhou Qi served her to wash up quickly. Without delaying time, she left the tent directly and saw the little Liuzi guarding the tent. Ayu nodded apologetically to him:

"I woke up a little late and asked Eunuch Liu to wait for a long time."

Xiao Liuzi immediately shook his head and bowed, "It's not too late, the imperial concubine is so serious. She is a slave who has received the order and rushed over to disturb the empress' rest."

Ayu didn't say these scenes to him anymore, and Xiao Liuzi stopped when he saw the opportunity: "Please follow the slave."

On the way, Ayu learned that the queen had gone to hunt for the past half day she slept, and she had gained a lot.

Ayu was curious: "Empress's riding and shooting is so powerful?"

In response to this, Xiao Liuzi laughed: "The Concubine I don't know anything. The Empress's riding and shooting skills have been boasted by the late emperor himself."

The people from the Luohou Mansion and the Chen Mansion can be said to be from the battlefield, but compared with the Chen Mansion, the Luohou Mansion's courage to let go of military power is unparalleled.

There were no one who could ride and shoot in the two mansions. Even the young master who was spoiled by Luohou Mansion is a good master of ride and shoot. Even the emperor praised him several times, and there were successors to Luohou Mansion.

While talking, Xiao Liuzi finally stopped. Today is the first day of coming to the yard, and it is always lively.

On the contrary, Ayu fell asleep in one sleep and fell asleep at the most lively moment.

It was no different from when she was in Jiangnan. The camp was full of bonfires and everyone gathered. Ayu was not too early. She was led by Xiao Liuzi to the steps, leaving a place for her by Feng Yu.

When Ayu approached, she saw Feng Yu having a smile on her face, which made her curious. However, she didn't ask, but instead sat down and looked at the queen with a smile:

"I heard that the Empress has gained a lot today, but I wonder if I have any good fortune?"

Before the queen could speak, Feng Yu smiled and glanced at her sideways: "You are lazy. You slept in the tent for a day and thought about eating when you wake up."

He was joking in his words, and anyone with a discerning eye could see his intimacy with the imperial concubine. The queen smiled gently, curled her eyes and took a sip of tea, swallowing the words she wanted to say.

Ayu's cheeks turned red, she glared at him angrily, and her eyes were more charming, and she hummed softly:

"I asked for food from the Empress, but I was not the same as the Emperor. Why should the Emperor laugh at me?"

After she finished speaking, she immediately turned her head and went to find the queen, and said softly: "Empress, please judge me quickly. How can you be like the emperor? But?"

The queen met the person who looked for her to judge the emperor for the first time, and her eyebrows moved slightly and she chuckled:

"The imperial concubine is right."

She only said this, never mentioning the emperor's right or wrong.

But for A Yu, this was enough. She raised her eyebrows at Feng Yu proudly, which was particularly eye-catching.

Feng Yu shook his head lightly and did not bother with her.

People on the steps smiled and talked, while people below them looked over from time to time.

Chen Dingkang's eyes were a little darker. He was still the first to hunt today. He had been the most frequent, not to mention others, even he felt impatient.

The emperor was afraid of the Chen family, so he had to make a fuss.

Ministers who hold heavy power and have no weaknesses will only make the superiors more afraid.

Many people compare the Chen Mansion with the Luohou Mansion. However, the Luohou Mansion dared to give up military power because the Luohou Mansion had a queen, and handing over military power could also consolidate the position of the queen.

But what is there in his Chen Mansion?

He also fought for the royal family from the back of a horse, and the Luohou Mansion won honor, so the Chen Mansion had to be afraid.

In this case, how dare the Chen family dare to trade military power?

Chen Dingkang's eyes were pitch black and so deep that he couldn't see it. He stared at the platform and suddenly heard someone beside him say:

"I'll give you a cup to Lord Chen."

Chen Dingkang turned his head, and after seeing the people clearly, he narrowed his eyes and laughed: "Shilarious Minister Han."

Han Yuyang's eyebrows and eyes were gentle, he closed his eyes lightly, and held the wine glass.

A trace of playfulness flashed in Chen Dingkang's eyes. He played with the cup and suddenly said, "Shilarious Minister Han is the elder brother of the Concubine. I can't bear the toast from Shilarious Minister Han, so I will toast from Shilarious Minister Han."

Since the accident occurred in Chen Mansion, the life experience of the imperial concubine is no longer a secret.

Everyone knows that she was the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, and Han Yuyang was also the adopted son of the Jiang family. The imperial concubine, who had no support in the previous dynasty, suddenly had the elder brother of a fourth-rank minister.

Similarly, the lonely Minister Han had a favorite concubine and the Han Mansion was crowded for a while, and he had to take leave because he was sick and avoided everyone.

Chen Dingkang suddenly mentioned this, not knowing how much fun it was.

But even if it was only one point, Han Yuyang turned cold and his usual gentle face showed a sharp look: "My concubine is a daughter-in-law, Lord Chen should not say anything nonsense."

Seeing his sudden change in expression, Chen Dingkang shrugged, chuckled and skipped the matter, saying with unknown meaning:

"Mr. Han is right, it's because I am rash."

He said this, Han Yuyang's heart sank slightly. He raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup. When he put down his hand, blue veins seemed to appear on the back of his hand holding the cup.

Seeing this, Chen Dingkang gently pulled open the corner of his mouth and slowly drank the wine.

After the banquet ended, the night was so rich that it could not be melted.

Ayu slept all night and didn't feel sleepy. She lay on the bed and watched Zhou Qi cut the candlestick. She was about to turn over. Zhou Qi suddenly turned around, as if she remembered something, and said in surprise:

"Empress, I suddenly remember that tomorrow is the Chinese Valentine's Day, and that day the capital is very lively..."

Ayu only heard the Qixi Festival, and was a little lost in her mind, so she didn't hear her subsequent words clearly.

After Zhou Qi finished speaking, she realized that Ayu didn't seem to listen to her anymore. Zhou Qi was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Empress, what's wrong?"

After a moment of pause, Ayu immediately came back to her senses. She stroked her forehead as if she was a little uncomfortable, shook her head and said:

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered something."

Seeing that she had no further information, Zhou Qi knew that she didn't want to say it. She suddenly fell silent, quietly cut the candlestick, and retreated aside.

But Zhou Qi didn't expect that she would soon know what the Empress was thinking about.

The next day, after Ayu woke up, she took Zhou Qi into the dense forest with a little interest.
