After hearing what Princess Ning'an said, Emperor Zhengxuan's eyes moved. The wetness and emotion in his eyes gradually disappeared in just a moment. He looked at Princess Ning'an's excessively pale face and suddenly became wary.
.
Could it be that she also came here for Xie Wu?
This thought flashed in Emperor Zhengxuan's mind, and he immediately looked towards Xie Wu.
Xie Wu lowered her head and still stood in the same position, even still maintaining the same posture just now, as if she didn't hear what he just said to Princess Ning'an at all.
Emperor Zhengxuan smiled and slowly leaned back on his chair, "Oh, I wonder who Ning An has your crush on?"
If it were Xie Wu...
Then I'm afraid that Xie Zheng can no longer be reused!
After hearing Emperor Zhengxuan's words, Princess Ning'an hurriedly supported the maid's hand and stood up. She blessed Emperor Zhengxuan uprightly, but the incense in the corner suddenly burned to the end.
"Your Majesty, the hunting time has come." Eunuch Liu hurriedly stepped forward and interrupted.
Emperor Zhengxuan glanced at Eunuch Liu, and then he waved his hand casually towards Eunuch Liu and said, "Order someone to play the drum!"
"Yes!" Eunuch Liu hurriedly responded. Then, he walked quickly to the edge of the stage, and then shouted loudly to the outside, "The time is up, beat the drum!"
As soon as his voice fell, the big drum in front suddenly started to sound "dong dong dong".
As the drums rumbled, Emperor Zhengxuan suddenly looked at Xie Wu and said, "Girl of the Xie family, guess who will be the leader of this hunt?"
Xie Wu was slightly startled when she was called out. However, she quickly saluted Emperor Zhengxuan, and then lowered her head and replied respectfully, "I don't know what to say to your Majesty, but if
If I have to guess... I will guess my cousin, the grandson of Duke Dingguo."
"The grandson of Duke Dingguo? You are referring to Lu Shen, right?"
"yes."
After hearing Xie Wu's answer, Emperor Zhengxuan smiled and said, "Why didn't you guess A Zhan?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, I have never seen Mr. Lu riding and shooting. However, I heard from my aunt that my eldest cousin is very good at riding and he even went to Yunnan with me at the beginning of the year. That's why I dared to guess him." Xie Wu
He raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Zhengxuan's words word for word.
"That's it!" Emperor Zheng smiled again. As soon as he finished speaking, the forest in front suddenly began to move one after another.
It was obvious that the people nearby also heard the noise. For a moment, everyone raised their heads in anticipation, hoping that their son would soon appear in sight.
"Girl Xie, soon we will know whether your guess is right or not!" Listening to the movement in the forest, Emperor Zhengxuan smiled and turned to Xie Wu and said with a smile.
"Yes." Xie Wu could only reply to Emperor Zhengxuan with a smile.
She lowered her eyes and looked at her toes quietly, her eyebrows frowning slightly.
At this moment, she suddenly couldn't figure out what Emperor Zhengxuan was thinking.
If Emperor Zhengxuan was just testing her at first, the following words were obviously meant for Princess Ning'an! So, was he doubting Princess Ning'an?
No, although Princess Ning'an is noble, her horse is dead. She lives in seclusion and has no contact with outsiders. She has no real power except for the title of princess. There is nothing suspicious about her? Unless it is her.
The Duke Dingguo's Mansion behind him...
But if it's the Zhenguo Palace, shouldn't it be the big room in the Dingguo Palace that should be more suspicious?
After all, Dafang is the actual person in charge of Dingguo Palace!
Or maybe Princess Ning'an has other secrets that no one else knows about...
Thinking of this, Xie Wu suddenly remembered what Lu Zhan had not yet finished yesterday -
He said that the one he chose was not King Duan or King Qi.
At that time, she thought that he had chosen one of Emperor Zhengxuan's grandsons. After all, the sons of Emperor Zhengxuan were all the same, and no one was better than the other. However, those grandsons were still young, and if you picked one of them, you might not be able to pick out a good one.
!
But, now that I think about it, it’s still not right!
Emperor Zhengxuan’s grandsons were all princes, Prince Qi and Prince Duan. Prince Cheng only gave birth to one princess. Lu Zhan’s attitude was clearly to bring down all three of them. How could anyone in this world step on me?
If you continue to help someone else’s son to become a leader! Isn’t this looking for death?
This thought just flashed in Xie Wu's mind. Xie Wu suddenly seemed to notice something. She stiffened for a moment, and then, a chill quickly climbed up from the soles of her feet.
Lu Zhan, he probably wants to rebel...
Just when Xie Wu was so frightened by her thoughts that she broke into a cold sweat, Eunuch Liu's voice suddenly sounded excited, "Your Majesty, it's His Highness King Qi, His Highness King Qi is back!"
Xie Wu turned around, and sure enough she saw King Qi riding a horse in a dark purple riding attire. There were many hares, squirrels and other trophies hanging on the horse. The most obvious one was a white fox. Even after a good distance,
From a distance, you can also see that the fox is completely white with no trace of impurities.
"Your Majesty, it's the mistress, it's the mistress who's back!" Concubine Xian on the side was even more excited.
"Yeah." Emperor Zhengxuan also saw the trophies hanging on King Qi's horse. He responded lightly, but he still couldn't help but show a smile of appreciation on his face.
Fortunately! Finally, the reputation of the Xiao family has not been ruined!
"Father, father!" King Qi got off his horse and immediately ran towards Emperor Zhengxuan happily.
"My son, you see your father, and you see your mother and concubine." As soon as King Qi came in, he immediately saluted Emperor Zhengxuan and Concubine Xian. After Emperor Zhengxuan asked him to stand up, he raised his hand and bowed to Concubine Shu, "
Concubine Shu."
Concubine Shu smiled and nodded at him, and the two of them said hello.
"Mistress, come on, I've seen your imperial sister." Xian saw Princess Ning'an still sitting beside her, and Concubine Xian suddenly felt unhappy. However, she still smiled and pointed King Qi to pay tribute to Princess Ning'an.
Because of Concubine Xian's finger, King Qi realized that Princess Ning'an was also there. At that moment, he couldn't help but smile, and bowed his hands to Princess Ning'an with a smile, saying, "Sister Huang is here too!"
Seeing King Qi's smiling face, Princess Ning'an raised her eyebrows with a sneer, and said, "Yes! I am still here, which disappoints the third emperor brother."
Princess Ning'an bit the word 'in' so hard that King Qi hadn't heard anything yet, but Concubine Xian, who had just heard Princess Ning'an confess that her time was short, suddenly woke up.
"Ning'an, mistress, it's just that you came out unexpectedly!" Concubine Xian said hurriedly.
"What's unexpected about this? Could it be that I'm grounded?" Princess Ning'an said with a sneer.
Seeing that Princess Ning'an was not a good person, King Qi couldn't help but put away the smile on his face, "Sister Huang, my mother-in-law only cares about you! You don't need to be so harsh with every word!"
"Care? Then I can only say that Concubine Xianmu's concern is too heavy, and I am weak and can't bear it!" Seeing that King Qi dared to interrupt, Princess Ning'an curled her lips, and without any hesitation, she also attacked him.
Xie Wu, who was standing next to Princess Ning'an with her head lowered, finally woke up from the shock. Listening to Princess Ning'an's cold and sharp voice, the uneasiness and shock in her heart slowly calmed down.
Come down.
She never thought that Princess Ning'an actually had such a side!
In her impression, she has always been gentle and gentle, just like the morning mist in the south of the Yangtze River, with a slight coolness, but more so that people can't help but want to get closer.
She never thought she would have such a sharp side.
No wonder Lu Zhan is so sharp-tongued, that’s it!
"Sister Royal!"
"Okay! It's not like you don't know that your imperial sister is not in good health, so why are you arguing with her?" Maybe it was Princess Ning'an's words about her weak body that hurt Emperor Zhengxuan, or maybe it was King Qi who was looking for Ning in a menacing way.
Princess An's appearance of settling accounts made Emperor Zhengxuan a little angry. In short, Emperor Zhengxuan suddenly interrupted King Qi's words with a stern face.
Seeing that Emperor Zhengxuan was angry, King Qi finally calmed down the anger on his face.
"Father, I also hunted a deer this time. It's almost time for them to carry the deer out!" King Qi smiled again and said to Emperor Zhengxuan.
Hunting deer in autumn is always considered a good omen!
Therefore, when Emperor Zhengxuan heard what King Qi said, he couldn't help but feel happy. He hurriedly asked King Qi, "Really? Did you also hunt a deer?"
"Returning to my father, yes! I have hunted a deer, and the deer is quite big. In a moment, I will have the antlers cut off to drink with you!" King Qi smiled and bowed his hands to Emperor Zhengxuan.
"Good! Good! You are indeed my son! Hahaha!" Emperor Zhengxuan was very excited by what King Qi said.
At this moment, Eunuch Liu's voice suddenly sounded again, "Your Majesty, Princess, Second Young Master Lu is back."
"Ah! Brother Zhan is back too! Hey, why didn't you see that he had prey soon?" Concubine Xian said in astonishment. After saying that, she did not forget to glance at Princess Ning'an quietly.
But Princess Ning'an didn't seem to hear her words. She stood up, straightened her clothes, and then walked to the front.
Listening to the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, Xie Wu wanted to look over there, but she soon noticed a gaze that seemed to be falling on her. She paused slightly, and then continued to keep quiet.
Standing appearance.
Soon, the sound of horse hoofbeats stopped, and then, Lu Zhan's clear voice sounded along with the brisk footsteps, "Mother."
Princess Ning'an didn't speak. She just looked at Lu Zhan with a smile. When he came up to her, she raised her hand and gently touched his face.
Lu Zhan smiled comfortingly at Princess Ning'an, but soon he noticed Xie Wu standing in the corner. He smiled and looked towards Xie Wu, but after only one glance, Princess Ning'an suddenly
Open your mouth and say.
"Why are you alone, where is Ah Qing?"
"Mother, what are you asking the princess for?" Lu Zhan chuckled. Seeing that Princess Ning'an seemed to want to say more, he hurriedly said, "Mother, I'll go and pay my respects to my grandfather first!" After that, he didn't wait for Ning'an.
Princess An responded and walked quickly forward to salute and said, "My grandson has met my grandfather, I have met the Concubine Xian, and I have met the Concubine Shu."
Seeing Princess Ning'an blocking Lu Zhan from seeing Xie Wu, Emperor Zhengxuan's eyes flashed imperceptibly.
