Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

In the evening, a banquet was held at the palace, and the campsites of some aristocratic families outside the palace were also brightly lit and bustling.

Ling Qingyu lay down on the soft cushion early, listened to the sound of pine waves in the forest, leaned against the warm body behind him, and fell asleep.

When she fell asleep, Yan Qifang covered her with the quilt tightly and asked in a low voice: How is it?

Ying Jiu whispered back from outside: You can't get in. Not only are there guards guarding the place, but there are also experts patrolling inside. Even if you sneak in, you won't be able to get there.

Forget it, let's talk about it later when we have a chance.

Yes! Ying Jiu responded, then stood up and walked to Ying Thirteen's side. He sat down and said, You and Ye Po can go to sleep. I'll guard you tonight.

Ying Thirteen looked up at him and said: There is always a chance to kill that person. If we die easily now, what will she do?

Ying Jiu didn't make a sound. After a while, he punched the ground with a punch, making a big hole in the ground. He whispered: I know.

The first day of Autumn Hunting was a grand heaven-sacrifice ceremony and military parade. Celestial masters in white sacrificial robes accompanied Emperor Xiwen through complicated etiquette, and then the Imperial Guard's formations with bright flags and bright armor performed various drills.

Ling Qingyu's position was relatively behind the women's family, and he could only see the head in front of him. He simply didn't look at it. He just looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky and calculated the data in his mind.

Today, the female relatives were all dressed in extremely bright colors. Among the flowers blooming, she was the only one wearing black clothes with white flowers on her head. She couldn't even stand out.

What happened the night before had been spread all over the place, and there were several versions after it was spread, so there were many more types of eyes on her than before.

Ling Qingyu just didn't know and stayed up until the end of the military parade. As soon as the crowd started to disperse, he walked outside and didn't even hear the lady next to him saying that he was going to attend the royal banquet.

Mrs. Yang. Mrs. Gao hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and gently held her hand. The Gao family was standing very far away from Ling Qingyu, so it took some effort to get over.

Ling Qingyu stopped and looked at her with a smile.

Mrs. Gao whispered: There will be a royal banquet and performances later.

Ling Qingyu was stunned. Normally, after the autumn hunting parade was over, the emperor waved his hand and the idle men rushed into the woods to finish the job? Why another banquet? And a show?

It is said that there are distinguished guests from the Liao Kingdom attending this time, so we made the following changes. Mrs. Gao continued in a low voice. These were notified to them at short notice, but judging from Ling Qingyu's appearance, no one must have told her.

Ling Qingyu looked at himself and said, You don't want me to participate too, do you?

Mrs. Gao was stunned for a moment, then asked her to look up and down, and said angrily: Those people! Without informing Ling Qingyu, if she leaves, it can be said that she despises the royal family. If she stays, such a dress will probably be used again. explain.

Wait a minute. Mrs. Gao patted her and immediately squeezed back to her own territory. Then she went to her mother-in-law and explained the matter. Mrs. Gao immediately stood up and glanced at the royal family in front of her with anger. , whispered: Mrs. Yang is not in good health, I'm afraid she can't bear the scorching sun.

Mrs. Gao understood and pushed towards Ling Qingyu again. Before she reached the place, she heard an exclamation from the other side, and then she became confused. She felt anxious and pushed the person away regardless. She saw that the place where Ling Qingyu was standing was already empty. After coming out of a small circle, a woman sat on the ground and cried softly. Several women next to her pointed at Ling Qingyu and said something. One of them wanted to push her. Mrs. Gao shouted directly: Stop, who are you? A dignified lady of a first-class country. You can touch it too!

When Mrs. Gao drank like this, the women were stunned for a moment. The woman who was about to push him said without giving up: What kind of lady of the country? Even the lady of the country can't be so domineering.

Just as Mrs. Gao was about to speak out, she saw several female officials hurried over and shouted directly: Who dares to make trouble here? Do you want your life?!

Mrs. Gao was suddenly shocked and thought about Ling Qingyu.

Ling Qingyu just looked at the women and the female officers with a sneer on his lips.

He is not afraid of enemies who are like gods, but he is afraid of teammates who are like pigs. It is not surprising that a prince like that can have such a harem.

Gently brushing the stained areas on his clothes, Ling Qingyu walked out without saying a word.

Hey! Stop!

Ling Qingyu turned around, looked at the female officer pointing at her, and asked: What rank are you? Seeing the female officer stunned, Ling Qingyu continued: I am the first-rank wife of Duke Ding. Are you talking to me in this tone? There is no one in the palace. Are you going to teach you etiquette? Seeing that the female officer was stunned again, she waved her hand and said: Tell your master, Madam, I am not feeling well, so I left first. As for the few who bumped into me just now, I am magnanimous. I don’t care if they soiled my clothes, but it’s best not to happen again. If it happens again, my hands will be cut off if I touch them, and my feet will be chopped off if I kick them!”

Covering his mouth and yawning, Ling Qingyu just walked away without hesitation, leaving behind a group of women who were ready to watch the fun and the women who were still sitting on the ground dumbfounded, not knowing whether to continue crying.

Mrs. Gao smiled secretly and watched her pass through the guards and go out from the door and then join the maid guards who were already waiting outside. Then she turned back to her mother-in-law and whispered the matter.

Mrs. Gao nodded and whispered: This woman is extraordinary.

The palace hall was full of people inside and outside, watching the exotic girls dancing in the middle. Princess Huaying's position was relatively behind the royal family. When she saw her personal maid winking at the back, she said something to Concubine Li, got up and walked out quietly. After a few steps, he arrived outside the corridor and whispered: What's the matter?

The palace maid briefly talked about the episode that had just happened outside. Princess Huaying frowned and asked, Do you know who did it? The palace maid whispered, That female official is from Jingyang Palace.

Princess Huaying nodded to indicate that she understood, and then returned to her seat with a sweet smile. She couldn't help but glance in the direction of Concubine Wang. She actually doesn't understand the brain circuit structure of her two princess sisters. Not to mention the eldest sister, Princess Huayang, the second sister, Princess Huaqing, can also hold back the second prince. Now the second prince does not have an advantage among the civil servants. And there is a gap between him and the Zhao family, so Heishuiguan has become a force that he must win over. Mrs. Yang is indeed powerless and does not even have a son. The Political Affairs Hall only gives an empty title to appease the people, not even a salary. It seems that they have never been distributed. In the past few years, it is indeed possible that no one will think of such a person anymore, and even Yang Zhao's old subordinates in Heishui Pass will forget about such a person. But how long has Yang Zhaocai been dead now? Although she married Yang Zhao not long ago, she is still Yang Zhao's widow. If something happens to Mrs. Yang now, Yang Zhao's old men will not ignore it regardless of their feelings and reasons. Moreover, Yang Zhao's reputation among the people is now booming. If If she insults her, those Qingliu will probably make a fuss, so the second prince must show his kindness to Mrs. Yang at this time to show the world and Yang Zhao's old subordinates. It's just that he is showing kindness here, and his wife is over there. My sister is making trouble for others. Brother Second Emperor, it is indeed not easy for you.

Seeing that the smile on her daughter's face was actually very sincere, Li Fei unconsciously asked in a low voice: What's the matter?

Princess Hua Ying whispered the matter in her ear, and Concubine Li glanced at Princess Hua Qing, who was leaning against Concubine Wang to act coquettishly. The smile on her lips was still there, but she whispered: Go and show your kindness to Mrs. Yang.

Princess Huaying was stunned for a moment, then she understood, nodded, and smiled at the fourth prince who was looking over.

Concubine Li was also born in the Deng family, and she had been favored for a period of time. Unfortunately, she only got a princess like Hua Ying. Her distant cousin who entered the palace at the same time gave birth to the fourth prince. At that time, the eldest prince and the second prince were both older. The power was so great that they had no idea, but as the Deng family kept sending beauties in, and they were constantly favored, they naturally came together under the frame-up and suppression of Empress Dong and Concubine Wang. When the head of the Deng family sent someone to say that they wanted to support the fourth prince, they were shocked to realize that this was also a way to survive, so they tried their best to please Emperor Xiwen and Prime Minister Cheng. Now, in addition to the eldest prince and the second prince, the fourth prince also had own power, but the Fourth Prince does not have any military power to support him.

If she could be on good terms with Mrs. Yang, she could at least make the people in Heishui Pass separate from the second prince at this time. If she could bring him over to help the fourth brother, then her and her mother's status would be guaranteed in the future. What's more, she doesn't hate Mrs. Yang, it can even be said that she admires her a little.

The next day, Emperor Xiwen led the ministers and accompanied Xiao Sui into the hunting ground with great interest. After running for an hour as if wandering around, the horse couldn't stand it any longer, and came back with a large number of people. In order to get rid of this pain on the third day, Xiwen followed what Xiang Cheng said, first expressed his love for the bravery of the young people, and then said that as an elder, he would give the opportunity to the young people. It would be best to get the most prey this time. Yes, he will give his gold Ruyi as a reward to the one who wins the first prize.

After saying this, the young disciples were naturally crazy with excitement and rushed out eagerly before even giving the order.

Princess Huayang was so excited that Emperor Xiwen and the Queen agreed that the female family members could also enter the hunting grounds. The one who got first place would be rewarded by the Queen.

In this way, on the third night, the camp became very lively.

Ling Qingyu originally wanted to spend the past few days hiding in the camp tent quietly, but he didn't expect some uninvited guests to come in the evening.

Yang Mansion camped with a group of relatively low-level officials who had followed her. That night, after she complained bitterly to the Liao people, some people began to come to show their goodwill. First, they gave each other some food, and nodded and said hello when they met. Later, in If we meet someone outside, we will stop and say a few words.

So when those little girls poked their heads outside to look, I simply called them to come in and play, and then smiled and asked what happened.

Several little girls looked at each other for a few times, and laughed and excused themselves a few times. One of the round-eyed girls smiled and said: We would like to ask the madam to take us hunting tomorrow.

Hunting? Ling Qingyu was so shocked that his eyes widened. Do these little girls want to go hunting?

Yes, someone started, and another little girl also said with a smile: Today the queen said that the female family members can also go in and play. We thought that if there is a lady with us, we won't be afraid.

Yes, I heard that those young masters have caught a lot of prey today, and now they are all placed in the square. After counting them together tomorrow, we can know who is the first.

I think it's Young Master Zhao! Young Master Pan! Young Master Shi is not bad either! Young Master Wang!

The faces of the few little girls were shy, excited and yearning. Ling Qingyu roughly understood what they meant. From the past two days, it turned out that the official positions of these little girls' families were not high. One of them had a brother who was in the imperial guard. In the camp, there were several other families who had no brothers, and even their mothers seemed to be a little sick. Although girls alone could go in, they were still afraid of something happening if they were not accompanied by men or elders. Usually it is rare to go out, but now I have finally arrived here. Why don't I want to go and have fun? Several little girls want to see those young men, so they think of themselves. First of all, I am young and status enough, and besides, I can also behave well. He is a very feminine man, so he came here to ask for help.

Ling Qingyu couldn't stand other people being kind to her. Not to mention the kindness these girls and their families had shown these days, one of them even secretly helped her that day. If the girl's mother hadn't pushed her, that woman He could just tear her clothes off.

So Ling Qingyu agreed without hesitation.

The girls left happily, and Yan Qi walked in with a gloomy face.

Seeing Yan Qi's face, Ling Qingyu calmed down for a moment. After thinking about it again, he smiled and said, Nothing will happen. Just a few girls will take them to ride horses outside and watch the excitement. There are so many Nothing will happen to people.

Those sons and daughters of princes and noble families can bring guards with them when entering, but women can only bring maids, so most of the women have to go with their brothers. It would be okay if Shan Ling Qingyu brought a guard, but they are all Little girl, it’s really hard to bring a guard.

She must do what she promised. Yan Qi said no more, just took out the dagger wrapped in cloth from the box and said, Take this with you tomorrow.

The dagger was left behind by Yan San. Only she could use it. It was a sharp weapon for self-defense. Ling Qingyu nodded.

Yan Qi took out a pair of exquisite hand crossbows and put them on her wrists. Huang Jing had already made this for her, but she found it too troublesome and never used it. Unexpectedly, Yan Qi kept it well.

Be careful tomorrow. Yan Qi sighed and said no more.

On the fourth day of autumn hunting, the autumn air is crisp, the sky is blue, the clouds are white, and the breeze is blowing.

After being familiar with the situation from the previous day, today is the time to decide the outcome. Those young people are like chicken blood. They are dressed in powerful clothes, with long bows on their backs and long swords hanging on their waists. They just wait for Emperor Xiwen's order. , and rushed out.

After all the hot-blooded teenagers had disappeared, the female relatives set off slowly. The faces of the teenagers who were left to accompany them had very ugly expressions, and they could only urge their sisters to hurry up, and then hurry up.

Ling Qingyu and several little girls set out at the countdown position. This position happened to be where a large group of people in front were crowded, and there were dozens of people behind blocking the view. In order to match the bright colors of the little girls, she also specially wore She put on a plain dress and then a dark purple cloak, just to avoid being conspicuous.

The woods in autumn have been dyed with strong colors, golden daisies are blooming all over the mountains and plains, there are bushes full of ripe red fruits beside the stream, birds are singing on the wild fruit trees, and squirrels are jumping happily on the spruce branches. Jump around.

The sunlight sparsely shone through the gaps between the trees, and it seemed to bring some warmth to the body. Hearing the chatter of the little girls around him, Ling Qingyu felt very happy, the kind of simple happiness that he had not had for a long time.

As we walked further in, the crowd gradually dispersed. This hunting ground was surrounded by several mountains. The foot of the mountain was still very flat, but going up was a bit steep. The young girls accompanying them didn't seem to be good at riding, so Ling Qingyu suggested that everyone walk at the foot of the mountain, look at the scenery, and pick flowers.

After strolling like this for a while, we arrived at a mountainous grassland. It was not very large, but it was full of flowers. The little girls screamed for joy, jumped off their horses one after another, and ran into the sea of ​​flowers.

Mrs. Yang~ Ling Qingyu was about to dismount when he heard someone shouting in front of him. He raised his body slightly and looked around. He saw a group of people sitting around on the other side of the grassland. There were mats on the ground, and maids and women were busy around them. , just like outing, it was Mrs. Gao who called her.

Mrs. Gao didn't expect to see Ling Qingyu. She had been hiding in the tent the past few days, so she followed her mother-in-law's advice and didn't take the initiative to look for her. She didn't expect to see her today and stood up to say hello.

Ling Qingyu brought several little girls and maids over. In that group of people, in addition to people from the Duke of Ji's mansion, there were also several other princes and nobles. They were all nobles. The few young people who were following him saw that After marrying her, he saluted earlier than those other women, which surprised Ling Qingyu. After thinking about it, he realized that these people must have respect for Yang Zhao, so he returned the salute with a smile.

The little girl on Ling Qingyu's side is a fourth- and fifth-grade civil servant, and she usually has little contact with the elite circle. But when she went out for an outing, she didn't care about that much. After a while, she was playing with Gao Ziqing and several other girls. On.

Mrs. Gao did not come out because she was old. The leader of the Duke of Ji's Mansion was Mrs. Gao, the wife of the Crown Prince, and the female dependents of the second, third and fourth bedrooms. Mrs. Gao introduced them to Ling Qingyu one by one, plus the other people from the Duke's Mansion. After going around, Ling Qingyu felt that his head was as big as a bucket, and he didn't really remember how many.

However, Ling Qingyu generally knew the situation in the Duke of Ji's mansion. The prince, the fourth son, Gao Bingyang, and the fifth son, Gao Wenhe, were the old lady's biological children. The second and third sons were all concubines. Gao Bingyang was already the training envoy of the Yizhou Regiment. Gao Wenhe had been following Zhao Yinfeng before. This year However, he followed Zhao Mingliang into the battle, and if he had not cut off the queen, I am afraid that Zhao Mingliang would not have been able to escape. He was a very powerful young general in the Zhao family army. The second and third houses did not take the path of military generals, but donated a small official. Nothing special and nothing wrong with it.

The sun is good, the air is good, and I can listen to a group of women chatting with scheming thoughts...

Mom, mother~ Gao Ziqing ran over with her skirt in hand and shouted excitedly: Uncle Wu said there are more beautiful flowers on the mountain over there. Can I go up with my sisters to see them?

Mrs. Gao patted the grass on her lovingly, looked up at her fifth uncle, and when Gao Wenhe nodded, she smiled and said, Then you must listen to your fifth uncle and don't run around.

I'll go too. Ling Qingyu quickly added, he would definitely fall asleep if he kept listening to these women, so he might as well play with the little girls.

Okay, Mrs. Gao nodded with a smile, then looked at Xu Xiuzhu, who seemed to be isolated outside, and asked softly: Fourth brother and sister, why don't you go and have a look too.

Seeing Xu Xiuzhu nodding with a touch of arrogance, Gao Wenhe's face darkened slightly. The sister-in-law naturally meant well, but the fourth sister-in-law must have misunderstood her meaning and would not appreciate it at all. I really don't know how the fourth brother fell in love with such a woman!
