Chapter 83 Spring Banshan Villa

Gu Zhen was born in the general family, so he is not a petty person.

The reason why Yun Fenghuang didn't make false remarks was that Yun Fenghuang's guess was correct: Concubine Yun Shu.

Although she and Concubine Yun Shu's father and brother have different political views, the two really hit it off. The fault is that the Prince Regent and the Duke of Yi are at odds, and they always advance and retreat together in every situation.

When it was announced that Concubine Zheng was pregnant, the Empress wanted to pull Concubine Shu to deal with Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu was perfunctory to Empress, but then invited Gu Zhen to Tongxia Palace to discuss. Concubines are comparable.

People in the deep palace are treacherous, and even blood relatives often have their own thoughts. It is rare and lucky to have such a fate like them.

In the end, there was nothing wrong with supporting each other for eight years, but Concubine Shu fell into Yun Fenghuang's hands—Gu Zhen didn't take the initiative to find trouble with Yun Fenghuang, she just considered the overall situation for the family, and could still give this Mao Jieyu a good face ?

impossible.

At this moment, they noticed that the atmosphere around them was not right, and guessed that most of it had something to do with their misidentification of Yun Fenghuang just now.

Seeing Yun Fenghuang pulling the emperor's sleeve and walking to the eagle dog first, he immediately sneered and followed.

Of course, the birds and beasts that supply the royal family are selected layer by layer. Not only are they good-looking, but they are also top-notch steeds, and their temperaments have been trained repeatedly. Just pull one out, and it will be enough to attract many high-rollers to spend a lot of money.

However, Yun Fenghuang's face was careless, picky and picky, either he thought this was bad or that was bad.

The emperor smiled lightly, neither obstructing nor recommending her, just acting casually. In the eyes of everyone, this is pampering, and they dare not neglect this Mao Jieyu more and more, carefully racking their brains to think of flattery, and worrying that this master is so picky, don't be so picky today. dissatisfied.

What can we do then?

Yun Fenghuang simply watched most of it, and finally stopped in front of a lynx, looked it over, and said: "This one is not bad..."

"I want this lynx!" As a result, Gu Zhen, who was following behind, said coldly before he finished speaking, "Ju Wan, why don't you hurry up and take this lynx away?"

Everyone: "..."

After a moment of silence, he subconsciously glanced at Yun Fenghuang, wondering how she would react?

Yun Fenghuang was stunned for a moment, and then said in a depressed mood: "Since... since sister likes it, then give it to sister."

Even though she was covered by the veil, she couldn't see her expression clearly at the moment, only the tone of her voice revealed the grievance that she was robbed and pretended to be nonchalant.

Gu Zhen gritted her teeth secretly, she had heard Concubine Shu say that this lowly maid is the best at making Qiao Zhang, but now it is true!

She doesn't like this kind of woman very much.

Of course, normal women would not like this kind of woman who is arrogant in front of the same sex, but is pitiful in front of men.

Not to mention that this man is their common husband.

But Gu Zhen is a person, if you ask her to put on a show like Yun Fenghuang is now, she will refuse.

You asked her to push her teeth and claws like Yun Fenghuang did before, but she... also refused.

So in the end, Gu Zhen asked the palace servants to take the lynx away with a dull face.

Next, she used a similar method to snatch three hounds, a lynx, and two hawks from Yun Fenghuang... Seeing this situation, the left and right palace officials dared not say a word, and even the emperor, who had been watching the scene in silence, frowned He said: "Aifei, all the hawks and lynxes will be released later, and now I let you choose, but I just choose some to follow, and then I will give you prey."

In fact, with the riding and shooting of these two concubines, there may be no problem in riding horses to the hunting ground, but it is not certain whether they will be rewarded when it comes to shooting and hunting.

It's not that the emperor looked down on their accuracy, but he was sure of their slender and graceful appearance, and their strength must not be enough.

If you don't have enough strength, you can't open a strong bow, so the lethality of the arrows shot can be imagined.

Even if it hits the target, the arrow cluster can't even penetrate the fur of the most common hare, so how can it leave prey? It's just to remind people to run away quickly.

So, what do you need so many hawks and lynxes for?

Want to watch the fun?

Gu Zhen heard the meaning of the emperor's words, his face was red and white, and he wanted to have a fit but it was hindering the emperor's face, so he could only hold his breath and say yes.

But Yun Fenghuang, because she was stared at and robbed by Mrs. Yaoning, ended up getting nothing.

When the emperor persuaded Gu Zhen to stop and let her choose again, she smiled and said: "Sister Yaoning will choose whatever I like, but it doesn't matter, anyway, after sister Yaoning has gained something, the concubine will choose it." Then go and ask my sister for ready-made ones. With my sister being so magnanimous, would she still refuse to be a concubine? So I don’t want these concubines.”

When she just grabbed the position and promoted Concubine Shu, was it purely to anger Gu Zhen?

No, it's more to push out the hot potato!

After all, there is the ingenious example of Yun Qingman in front of him. It is just a civet cat with little size, strength and lethality. As long as it is used properly, it can kill people in a flash. Yun Fenghuang took this as a warning, and would rather set aside a special place in the Xuanqing Palace to raise those civet uncles, and not allow them to run around in the places he usually goes in and out of!

Not to mention those beasts who can beat a few civet cats at once with the previous training and training on body shape and race?

Yun Fenghuang heard the emperor said that he could choose these things from the mountain road, so he decided not to let any one get close to him!

But it would be too obvious to refuse directly. No, she said that the emperor treated her a little better this time.

With Gu Zhen around, then Gu Zhen will accept all of them with a smile haha!

Yun Fenghuang was satisfied in his heart, but he got on the horse in a panic and refused to admit that he had suffered a loss, which made Gu Zhen feel much more comfortable in his heart. Looking at the group following behind his horse, he didn't think it was too impulsive , but thinking, how can I give this Mao Jieyu some head start when hunting later?

As for Yun Fenghuang saying that he wanted her prey...

Gu Zhen sneered in his heart, how is it possible!

She would rather throw it away, burn it, hide it and destroy it, and she would never give Yun Fenghuang even a pheasant feather!

The two concubines continued to set off with the emperor with their own plans. The valley as a small hunting ground was on the side of the hill where the palace was located. When entering the valley, you could look up and see occasional pavilions and pavilions vaguely hidden by trees.

Because of the lingering mist in the mountains, it looks as if it is not in the world, and it is the kind of ethereal loftiness that only the fairy family has.

The emperor went hunting, or not long after he was assassinated, whether it was the imperial city secretary or the imperial army, they would inevitably go to war.

Not counting those who spread out secretly, they followed some people when they came out of the palace, and gathered a large group of people and beasts at the foot of the mountain, and when they reached the valley, there was still a large group of people waiting.

Perhaps because the emperor came here every year, a small-scale manor was built in the valley half leaning on the mountain, and the high-hanging plaque said Chunban Villa.

The vermilion lacquer gate, the beast mouth ring, stone lions squatting on both sides, and a few clumps of pine branches through the high wall, looking like ordinary wealthy people.

However, there are many spears and halberds inside and outside, and the security is heavy, and there is a chill atmosphere.

Yun Fenghuang glanced at it and didn't care, and continued joking with the emperor, and saw a group of people coming out from the side, Gong Xiangxiao, who was also in a strong attire, took the lead, and Qi Jiulu, who was in a dark green embroidered lotus pattern with dark green background, followed closely On the side, more than a dozen well-dressed and vigorous young men lowered their gazes slightly and cupped their hands to meet them. Then they frowned slightly, stopped, restrained their mounts and retreated behind the emperor.

But Chunjia got off the horse, threw the reins to Yanyin casually, turned around to watch the two concubines land gracefully on the ground, and helped Gu Zhen who seemed to be staggering a little bit, which made Gong Xiangxiao Waiting for someone to level up, he asked, "How are you getting ready?"

"It's all ready." Gong Xiangxiao and him are brothers of the same clan, and now the regent and the emperor are still cooperating, and they speak casually, and said, "The internal and external sweeping is personally watched by the younger brother, and the food cooker After the inspection, you can have a banquet and take a rest. If the emperor’s hands are itchy, you can go around the neighborhood if you want to. It’s just that you have ordered before that you are not allowed to deliberately throw prey. But they scare away a lot. I’m afraid that if I don’t run far in the past two days, it will be difficult to see decent prey.”

The emperor couldn't help laughing, and said: "I'm going hunting right now, just to honor my mother's birthday, so of course I can't cheat."

He thought for a while, then turned his head and asked the two concubines, should they go to rest in the villa, or go around?

Yun Fenghuang was the first to say that he wanted to go around the neighborhood, so Gu Zhen said that he wanted to go to the villa to rest——Yun Fenghuang didn't wait for the emperor to speak, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, let's do it, after all, sister Yaoning entered the palace before the concubine. , I’m getting old, so it’s no wonder that I need to rest after running these roads. Let my sister go inside to rest, and my concubine will accompany you to go around, so as not to disturb my sister.”

Gu Zhen: "..."

If it wasn't for the presence of the emperor, the son of the regent prince, and the presence of many young talents from high families, I would definitely blow your head off on the spot! ! !

I'm only four out of twenty, how come I'm getting old! ! !

"Is my concubine tired?" At the critical moment, the emperor came out again to smooth things over, looked at Gu Zhen gently, and said softly, "I knew I would have taken a rest on the way, and I was supposed to stay for a few days when I came out this time. I don’t plan to go hunting seriously today, but I’m not in a hurry.”

The emperor's words were thoughtful, and the expression in his eyes was also in place when he spoke. He was so gentle and caring.

Helpless, what Yun Fenghuang said just now was too heartbreaking, and now Gu Zhen couldn't help but think: "The poor maid said that I am old, and His Majesty will assume that I am tired. Could it be that Your Majesty also thinks that I am old? ..."

Immediately a tightness in the chest!

But just now when the emperor asked for their opinions, she said she wanted to go to rest in order to contradict Yun Fenghuang, and now she had to resist the urge to vomit blood, thanking the emperor for his kindness...

So he walked into the main hall of the villa alone with a waiter, and couldn't help kicking the 80-fold screen with rosewood inlaid with shells and mica four seasons flowers in the front-almost cried out in pain when it was over!

When Gu Zhen was restless and mad, Yun Fenghuang and the emperor, surrounded by Gong Xiangxiao and others, lightly reined in the reins and strolled leisurely by the calm mirror-like water.

There are reasons why this valley can be selected as a fixed hunting ground: the first one is that it occupies a vast area. According to Yun Fenghuang's observation, this may be the largest valley in the entire Qishan Mountains;

The second is that the terrain is relatively flat, and many places can be used for horses to pass. After all, the royal hunting is for fun, which is a good sign. Rather than letting the dignified emperor and a group of nobles be forced to dismount on the rough road, just like the hunters who depend on the mountains, they crawl around on two legs to make a living;

The third is that the scenery here is really good.

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and people walk among them, still in the painting.

... After entering the valley, bypassing the camp, and not long after riding the horse, you can see the water that is said to occupy nearly half of the entire valley.

This piece of water can be deep or shallow, the deep place is like a lake, according to Gong Xiangxiao's introduction, it is enough to submerge a person and a horse;

Whether it's deep or shallow, looking at the past under the high sky and light clouds, they are all calm and quiet, like a demure lady.

And the luxuriant vegetation that grows in this season is the green radish skirt of a lady; the shimmering light from far and near is like a winding cloak; .

There was a mountain breeze, and thousands of plants and trees bowed and raised their heads, and the mirror surface opened up with ripples, as if she occasionally smiled, layer upon layer of intoxication.

It is enough to imagine that if there is mountain rain in these few days, if it is pattering, it will be a beautiful woman sitting alone in the autumn courtyard with sorrow;

In short, the four seasons and the four seasons here have unique beauty at a glance.

The strange way will be marked down by the royal family and taken as its own...

Yun Fenghuang was appreciating it with relish, when suddenly the emperor raised his finger to show her in one direction.
