Chapter 858 Epidemic (1)
After Xiao Yi and others reported the possible outbreak of horse plague in the Hunting Palace to the emperor, the emperor was very shocked and hurriedly ordered people to deal with it. All the horses in the hunting palace were inspected in detail by the veterinarian, and all the sick horses were removed. The stables were thoroughly disinfected by fire and smoke, and the stables with sick horses were all burned down, and all the horses were put on the ground. Some medicines are added to the forage as a preventive measure.
In the next few days, no new sick horses were found, and everyone was relieved.
A possible outbreak of horse plague was suppressed. The emperor was in a good mood. After heaving a sigh of relief, he suddenly wanted to go hunting at night, so he ordered a few people to set off together. There is no doubt that Xiao Yi is on the list of accompanying drivers once again.
The emperor went to hunt at night, and the queen was not idle, and summoned some noble ladies to go to admire the moon.
Qing Xia Zhai was naturally summoned, so Nangong Yue went to Fenglin Palace together with Nangong Tsang and Bai Muxiao.
The palace maid led them to the front yard. At this moment, the night had fallen, and the exquisite colored glass lamps were lit in the front yard, which illuminated the yard so brightly and dazzlingly that it seemed that even the stars in the night sky had been taken away. brilliance.
In the originally empty yard, there were many long tables and round chairs. Most of the ladies had already arrived, and there was a commotion.
Nangong Yue swept around and saw that most of them were familiar faces from last time. Fang Ziteng was missing and Jiang Yixi was more, and she already knew it. The Queen's last dinner had to be interrupted because of Jiang Yixi's "sickness". It seems that today is still to choose the prince and concubine.
Not only Jiang Yixi, Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan also arrived, so the three of Nangong Yue walked towards them.
After seeing each other, Nangong Yue sat down beside Fu Yunyan, the girls chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"The Empress is here, Concubine Zhang and Concubine Li are here!"
Following the high-pitched shouts of the chamberlain, the Queen, Concubine Zhang, and Concubine Li came in a mighty manner with a group of palace maids, all of whom hurriedly saluted.
The seats of the Queen, Concubine Zhang and Concubine Li were arranged behind a long table by the pond, and the girls sat in two rows on either side of the long table.
After everyone sat down, the queen smiled and said, "This palace happened to see that the moon is very bright tonight, and the moon stars are rare, so I made up my mind and invited all the girls to come here to enjoy the moon. You don't have to be restrained, just enjoy the moon and chat at will."
When everyone thanked the queen, it was chatting and chatting, eating and drinking, and admiring the moon, but some girls seemed very nervous, and always maintained a good-looking appearance...
Soon, the Empress ordered Mammy Wen to call a girl in a moon-colored dress to speak up: "Are you a girl from the Zuodu Censor Huang's family?" A heart hangs high, seemingly indifferent, but in fact, he is always paying attention to the movements of the queen.
Miss Huang stepped forward respectfully, stopped a few steps away from the queen, and gave a salute: "Go back to the queen, this is the official daughter."
The queen looked up and down Miss Huang a few times. Seeing that her eyebrows were low and pleasing to the eyes, she had a ladylike demeanor. She nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How old is Miss Huang this year? What books have you read?"
Miss Huang replied calmly, "Returning to the Empress, the minister's daughter just turned fourteen a few days ago. The minister's daughter has read the "Four Books of Women" and "Girl's Instructions."
This "Four Books of Women" contains four books, "Nv's Commandments", "Internal Training", "The Analects of Women", and "Nv Fan Jie Lu". There are many girls who read "Nv's Commandments" and "Internal Training", together with "The Analects of Women" ﹑ "Female Fan Jie Lu" have read, but not much.
