Fast time travel: The heroine and the female supporting role hold the script of the villain

Chapter 107 The real daughter, she quit (53)

The Royal Autumn Hunt is a traditional royal event since the founding of the Dachang Kingdom. It is said that because the ancestors of the emperors did not want future generations to forget the hardships of conquering this country on horseback, they set a rule that it should be held once every three years.

It's a pity that whoever is poor, rich and military can't stop the torrent of the times. You can get a glimpse of it from the importance of officials in the court today.

Fortunately, the surrounding countries are not very good at home. They are often friendly on the surface, but they repeatedly violate the border behind their backs. This makes the emperor have to rely on many generals, otherwise the life of these generals may be even more difficult.

The royal autumn hunt is held in the royal hunting ground at the foot of the Black Mountain on the outskirts of the city, where there are the most abundant aquatic plants, the strongest horses and the most wild and unruly beasts.

Early in the morning of that day, Mrs. Zhao carried several large boxes and cages to the cart parked outside the door, and then, in the envy of Mrs. Song, brought Haiyao into the carriage.

It seems that since knowing that Haiyao was engaged to the little general who was in front of the emperor, and it was an imperial decree, the Song family's sense of superiority, which seemed to have nothing before, died down instantly before it could be fully released, and it took a long time. All the time I stayed in Luyuan and never came out.

It is estimated that if it is not because the son is still studying in the school in the city, the Song couple will go back to their hometown in Raocheng to try to be quiet.

On the way to the royal hunting ground, through the car window, Haiyao saw many carriages with the family crests of the major families hanging in front of them.Everyone's speed is not slow, and the horsewhips of the drivers almost threw sparks, just hoping to rush to the outskirts of the city before the official start of the autumn hunting.

The three-year Autumn Hunting Dynasty paid great attention to it. The princes and daughters wanted to make the emperor look different, but for the courtiers below, it was a rare good opportunity to increase their ranks.

Those who have long been in office, the Emperor Baobuqi was promoted as soon as he was happy, and those who did not have an official position, as long as they performed well, everything was possible.

Everyone misses the line of skipping the imperial examination and directly becoming an official. Wouldn't it be more beautiful to have a good marriage come to your door?

And this royal autumn hunting will not end hastily. It is said that because the emperor’s health is not good these days, the imperial physician advised him to relax and maintain a happy mood. Therefore, the emperor ordered the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come to the hunting ground a few days in advance. , set up a large tent, it is said that they want to live for three days.

This is why Mrs. Zhao brought so many cages this time. After all, no one wants to let go of such a good opportunity to accompany the driver, and who would choose to leave the hunting ground early.

Finally, before noon, they arrived at the royal hunting ground, and all kinds of banners around them fluttered in the autumn wind, making loud noises.

In order to ensure the absolute safety of the royal family, you can see a fully armed soldier at a certain distance. These soldiers are all dressed in armor and weapons made of fine steel. From the aura around them, you can feel that they must be extraordinary. Bingdanzi.

After Mrs. Zhao and Haiyao got out of the car, little eunuchs soon came up to greet them. One was in charge of taking the servants of Wu's mansion to carry the boxes to the tent assigned by Wu Xiuyuan, and the other led the two of them all the way. Into the paddock ahead.

After about half a stick of incense, the voices of people came from not far away, and a large tent with a white body and a golden roof in the shape of a pointed yurt could be seen vaguely. Everyone was very good to see the lively scene in the hunting ground not far away.

"Hey, Mrs. Wu, you are a bit late." When Zhao Shi and Haiyao walked into the tent, they heard the jokes immediately.

Haiyao looked up and saw that it was the round-faced lady who had chatted with Mrs. Zhao on the Longevity Day. At this time, the other party was smiling and waving at them.

"When I came here, I met some refugees on the way, so it was a bit delayed, this Empress..." Mrs. Zhao sat next to the other party and asked softly.

"Those in the hunting ground in front, the hunting ceremony is about to begin, the emperor and empress will naturally be there to boost the morale of our Dachang Kingdom's family." The round-faced lady stretched out her finger and pointed outward.

At present, quite a lot of horses have gathered in the hunting ground. The emperor and the empress at the front are respectively sitting on two bloody horses brought in as tribute from the Western Regions, receiving the visits from the densely packed officials and noble young masters below.

Then, the emperor raised his voice and said a few words of encouragement, and then raised the bow in his hand. With the sound of the arrow piercing the air, it also represented the official start of the autumn hunting.

I saw a group of men of different ages rushing into the dense forest not far away while manipulating the horses under their crotches.

Not long after, the empress also came to this tent full of female relatives from various prefectures after changing her riding clothes, and everyone stood up quickly and said hello without daring to neglect.The queen accepted the ceremony with a smile on her face, motioned everyone to be flat, and then turned her head to chat with the mistresses of the royal family.

Such a circle could not be squeezed in even if others wanted to, and soon several lively ladies went to the hunting ground to ride horses and play polo.

The ladies who stayed in the tent were all smiling. While watching the lively scene in the hunting ground outside, they chatted casually, enjoying the rare moment of peace and comfort in the city.

"Mrs. Wu, I have already said that you are a blessed person. It's not the last time you were worrying about your daughter's marriage in the Longevity Hall. In a blink of an eye, the Holy Majesty has rewarded your family with such great honor." The round-faced lady said The envy in his tone doesn't seem fake.

Although Lu Chengen's reputation in the circle of noble ladies has never been very good, and most of this reputation has the shadow of Lu Guogong's successor, but most of the mistresses in the various mansions just dislike the gloomy face of a man. Everyone is like that.

When I first became a general, there were a lot of people who came to say goodbye, but he rejected them all, and those who didn't get what they wanted would definitely slander them behind their backs. Rumors about the general's mansion.

But that being said, Lu Chengen is one in a million no matter in terms of appearance, family background, or personal ability. People who gossip are just saying that grapes are sour. What if he really wants to ask for marriage? The daughter of the family, the happy family set off firecrackers for three days before feeling elated.

"I heard that General Lu personally went to your house to pick up picks two days ago. People in the big city thought that some family had a happy event." Mrs. Yo, your better days are yet to come!"

"Good day?" At this moment, a disdainful cold snort suddenly came from the side.

Haiyao and Mrs. Zhao followed the prestige, and it was Mrs. Sima who was sitting there at some time, holding a long face with a sneering expression.

Seeing this, those dog legs sitting around her would definitely not let go of this opportunity, and they also became angry with yin and yang: "That is to say, only those who have never seen the world will finally get into a good family and publicize it." , just to be looked down upon for nothing."

"Isn't it? I guess they want to use this marriage to draw a relationship with the Duke's Mansion, but who knows that the man has already torn face with the Duke's Mansion, how can he get any benefits?"

"Who knows what kind of method he used to hook up with the little general Lu? He was raised in the countryside since he was a child, and he appointed him to do some unscrupulous things to threaten him. This is how a chicken becomes a phoenix!" In order to please Mrs. Sima It is also to take the opportunity to vent their dissatisfaction. This group of seemingly glamorous ladies can be as mean as they want at this time.

Even the round-faced lady's face became a little embarrassed, and she deliberately tried to defend herself, but in the end she didn't dare, and could only cast comforting and apologetic looks at Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao's body under the lavish clothes was trembling slightly at this time. Even if her daughter and Lu Chengen got married according to the decree, it was a clear path, but these rumors would still have a certain impact on Haiyao's reputation. affected.

She was about to get up, but a hand stretched out from behind firmly pressed her shoulder, and then Haiyao's faint, slightly smiling voice rang out: "Mother, is this Dachang Kingdom going to do it recently?" Has it changed?"

Hearing this, before the others realized what it meant, Mrs. Sima's expression suddenly changed.

Her expression was naturally seen by Haiyao, and she raised her eyebrows in a strange way. Before she could think about it, she was interrupted by Zhao's question: "Yaoer, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Although there is still some distance between the empress and their direction, in this era where the emperor is respected, some things must not be said indiscriminately.

"Since there is no change in the sky, how can anyone still dare to question the decision of the Holy Majesty? The marriage between me and General Lu was personally ordered by the Holy Majesty. I'm a little confused." Haiyao gave a half-smile, and immediately put a big hat on the group of people.

Her words directly caused several noble ladies to choke their breath in their throats, their faces livid as they couldn't hold back.

No one thought that a few simple and sarcastic words would be misinterpreted like this. Once the royal family is involved, who would dare to say the first half of the sentence?
Seeing this, Haiyao's smile widened a bit. She had spent so many years in the entertainment industry in her previous life, and she was very familiar with guiding public opinion, let alone in this place where imperial power is supreme.Just throwing this big mountain out is enough to crush most people out of breath.

Isn't it just three consecutive rounds of heightening, ridicule and contempt?In the field of verbal battles, she has never been afraid of anyone.

"Smart teeth, you can't see any good qualities that women should have." In the end, it was Mrs. Sima who spoke.

Her expression was no longer as tense as before. After Haiyao's eyes wandered around her face for a few times, she took it back and continued to say coolly: "What Mrs. Sima taught me is that after all, I am just a person living in the countryside. He grew up and came from a small sect, so he can't compare to your Sima Mansion."

"Let's just talk about the three young masters in your house..."

"Shut up!" Mrs. Sima couldn't hold back, and yelled loudly.

This move not only attracted the attention of others, but also caused the queens in the distance to look over frequently.Mrs. Sima knew that if she continued to let this girl talk, there might be some troubles. She was not afraid, but this autumn hunt must not have any accidents.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Sima stood up, took one last deep look at Haiyao, then turned and left.

It's a little strange... Haiyao didn't expect the other party to admit love so easily, so she couldn't help but muttered in her heart.Before she could figure out the details, she heard Mrs. Zhao's gentle suggestion: "Yaoer? Yaoer? At your age, you should go out and have fun. It just so happens that Ms. Xu is about the same age as you. Why don't you go to the hunting ground with her for a while?"

When she regained her senses, she saw that the girl standing behind the round-faced lady was indeed about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she looked as lucky as her mother.

Taking her silence as hesitation, the round-faced lady began to help Mrs. Zhao persuade: "This is the autumn hunt once every three years, if one day you and General Lu settle down for a good day, it will be difficult to have such wanton laughter chance."

The noble daughters who have not left the court are innocent and innocent, even if they occasionally lose their manners, they will not cause too much gossip, but when they are married, they will be put on invisible shackles. Some brides are obviously about the same age, but they can only tell that they are motionless and lonely.

"Let's go, Sister Yao'er, I'm less than one year older than you, so you can just call me Sister Xu." Miss Xu's temperament also followed Mrs. Round Face, and she took two steps forward and pulled her up. , Haiyao had no choice but to follow the other party out of the tent, and walked all the way to the hunting ground not far away.

"Can you run horses? Actually, I'm not very good at riding, and I'm sure I can't play polo." Miss Xu asked suddenly, her expression a little astringent.

"I'm so-so, too." Haiyao replied, she was not lying, Yuan didn't know how to ride a horse, and she only rode a horse when she was filming in her previous life, so it's really not that good.

So after the two rookies discussed it, they went to the horse farm and asked the groom for two gentle horses. After riding on them, they circled slowly around the most flat lawn in the middle of the hunting ground.

From time to time, a young lady from some mansion roared and rode by, leaving only a series of silver bell-like laughter in the air. Not far away was the polo field, and the field was even more lively. There will be bursts of enthusiastic cheers.

Just as Haiyao and Ms. Xu were chatting side by side on horseback, there were faint sounds coming from the direction of the entrance of the mountain forest in the distance.

The sound caused the onlookers on the side of the polo field to stretch their necks and look around. To be on the safe side, Haiyao stopped the horses with the reins, listening to the muffled discussions.

"I heard that the first prize of this autumn hunt is a leopard with a red cloth around its neck."

"Leopard? Such a ferocious thing, will it be eaten if one is not careful? Aren't all deer used for autumn hunting in previous years?"

"Whoever can successfully hunt that leopard, I heard that the Holy Majesty will reward him extra!"

"It is said that in the autumn hunting three years ago, Mr. Luo was the one who won the first place. Today he is definitely the one. It is really hard to find such a good man with both civil and military skills in the world."

Finally, under the expectant gaze of everyone, after a few breaths, several figures on horseback rushed out from the entrance!
