August 25 is the day for hunting in the southern suburbs.

The hunting ground in the southern suburbs is only half a day away from the capital, so the emperor does not need to leave the prince to supervise the country this time, and all members of the royal family will accompany him.

Clan relatives and generals of second rank or above will accompany him.

Xu Chaoqian was not qualified to go to the hunting ground.

So early in the morning, he could only watch his eldest daughter get into the car with envious eyes, and said: "Serve the Marquis well!"

While talking, he glanced at Mu's house next door.

It's a pity that Mu Rong set off from Weiyuan Hou Mansion today, so naturally he couldn't express his stance with fists.

Xu Rongrong also disagreed. She closed the car door and threw Xu Chaoqian's instructions out of the car.

This hunting lasted for ten days, so Xu Rongrong took Wen Yao with him on the trip, and the driver was Xu Feng, the eldest son of Guan Xu.

According to the usual practice, foreign ministers need to go to the city gate to greet the holy driver, but when the Xu family's carriage arrived, there were people waiting for them at the city gate.

A row of three double-driving carriages parked there in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, under the empty tower, looked indescribably luxurious.

Mu Ai was dozing off in the car. When he saw them arriving, he immediately became energetic and said, "Sir, Miss Xu is here."

Wen Yao looked at the momentum on the other side and then at his own car, feeling a little speechless.

Xu Rongrong laughed at her: "What's the point? They are the honor guards of the first-class military princes. They are not comparable to ordinary people like us. Just be comfortable."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Rong opened the car door, bowed and walked in: "Indeed, Miss Xu's place is more comfortable."

The car suddenly felt cramped.

Xu Rongrong stood up subconsciously: "What do you think I am here for, Master Hou? Just come here?"

Mu Rong raised his eyebrows: "Is this my fiancée's carriage? Why can't I come?"

"The Marquis also said that you and I are just engaged in an engagement, not really married."

"But... that's not what Miss Xu said that day in Fan Lou." Mu Rong smiled, his eyes showing slyly, "You and I have discussed a lot of post-marriage matters, why did you change your face again today? "

"You..." Xu Rongrong was furious. In order not to arouse Mu Rong's suspicion, she did ask him for the right to do things conveniently after marriage, but how could he mean it?

Wen Yao on the side looked at his eyes, nose and heart, and listened carefully with his ears raised.

"You also said that you will agree to whatever requests I make from now on." Mu Rong continued.

Wen Yao: Oh? ?

Xu Rongrong denied: "Master Hou must have misunderstood my meaning. And Master Hou came here early in the morning to entangle me, just to argue with me?"

"It's too early for Your Majesty to move. My carriage is not comfortable. I want to come and sit with you." After speaking, Mu Rong sat down and stretched out his long legs, showing a leisurely look.

Xu Rongrong: "..."

"For this hunt in the southern suburbs, His Majesty brought the Queen and Concubine Shu with him. Concubine Shu is the biological mother of the second prince, so it is reasonable to accompany him. But she is also the cousin of the deposed Madam Changxing Hou, although she is not close to the Wu Jiang family. , but they are blood relatives after all, so we must be careful." Mu Rong changed the topic.

Xu Rongrong remembered another thing: "I heard that the Queen and Concubine Shu have always been at odds. Why did Your Majesty take them together this time?"

Seeing that the two were about to talk about business, Wen Yao withdrew.

"The prince has been in the East Palace since he was five years old. No one has competed with him for more than 20 years. However, in recent years, there have been constant mistakes. Your Majesty also wants to give him a sense of urgency." After Mu Rong finished speaking, he sighed in his heart: The emperor indeed has high hopes for the prince. He had high hopes, but he also knew that the prince was very happy with his achievements and was content with enjoying himself.If he is not given a sense of urgency, he may make a big mistake in the future.But what the emperor didn't expect was that his move would actually make other princes determined to seize the heir, and even innocent people would be involved.

Xu Rongrong also knew this. Although she did not participate in hunting in the southern suburbs in her previous life, she also knew that from this time on, the turmoil in the palace had not stopped.

Not far outside the carriage, small traders preparing to enter the city were queuing up. Familiar people greeted each other and laughed loudly, unaware that their fate would soon change in a few years.

Xu Rongrong couldn't help but feel a little sad: "I hope your Majesty can get what he wants, and the Zhou Dynasty can always be so stable and peaceful."

Mu Rong responded: "It should be like this."

Xu Rongrong came back to her senses, only to find that Mu Rong had come closer at some point, and she had nowhere to retreat at this time. She said angrily: "Thank you for the advice, Mr. Hou. Mr. Hou came to me early in the morning. Yes." Are you afraid that I will be bullied?"

Mu Rong nodded and smiled: "I just want people to know that you are the daughter-in-law whom I protect."

"Then little lady, thank you so much, Lord Marquis!" Xu Rongrong snorted coldly. It wasn't that she didn't appreciate it, but it was because he was like this. Instead of guarding against others, it was better for her to guard against him.

Seeing her sitting upright and leaning on the carriage wall, her hairpin was crooked without even realizing it, Mu Rong subconsciously stretched out his hand.

His sudden approach made Xu Rongrong subconsciously exclaim: "No!"

Mu Rong smiled evilly and took off the hairpin and handed it to her: "I just saw that your hairdress was crooked and wanted to straighten it, but when you screamed, others thought I was going to do something to you."

After saying that, Xu Rongrong escaped from the carriage before he could get angry.

Before leaving, he did not forget to put down the package that had been hidden in his arms for a long time.

Mu Ai was amused: "What did you do to anger the eldest lady again?"

Mu Rong curled up his lips: "You don't understand."

Mu Ai: "..." He was a little full.

Wen Yao returned to the car and opened the package curiously.Inside were two red and green sachets, and a note that read:

The red sac can repel mosquitoes, and the green sac can soothe the mind. Although these two items are not as powerful as the sachet in your waist, they are more practical.

The font is strong and powerful, and it is not difficult to guess whose hand it is.

Wen Yao covered his mouth and smiled, while Xu Rongrong was also a little uncomfortable.

During this trip, in order to prevent accidents, she did bring a medicine bag with her.As for the one used to calm the nerves and repel insects... she really wasn't prepared.

The two sachets are each embroidered with unknown flowers.

Xu Rongrong wrinkled her nose: "Red and green, ugly."

……

At noon, the holy driver arrived belatedly.

After meeting the driver at the city gate, the group of people galloped toward the hunting ground in the southern suburbs.

Perhaps the rocking of the carriage was too comfortable, or perhaps the sachet Wen Yao placed under her pillow had an effect, and Xu Rongrong fell asleep in a daze.

A rare good sleep.

The hunting grounds in the southern suburbs have rich terrain, including mountains, plains, and lakes, with luxuriant vegetation and a complete range of species.

Because it is a royal hunting ground, it is maintained with great care on weekdays.

When we arrived at the camp, it was already dark.

The tents in each mansion have been set up. Xu Rongrong is an engaged woman, so she has an independent tent. Next to her tent is Mu Rong's.

It was Wen Yao's first time out of the house, and his strength was weak, so he was quite confused.

Xu Rongrong was very patient, occasionally helping Wen Yao sort the items he brought.

Not far away, Youdao's eyes kept wandering over her body.

"Princess, everyone is busy tonight, do you want to take advantage of the situation?"

"No need, I have my own plan."
