Two opposites
The palace is located at the foot of the West Mountain. After visiting the palace, you can have all kinds of fun. There are martial arts, horse riding, archery and hunting, literary arts, meandering water drinking glasses, reciting poems and poems, and some climbing high and looking into the distance, picking flowers and folding willows at will.
Of course, because the emperor hunted in person, there were the largest number of people here.
Following the order, the emperor took the lead, with Huo Lian closely guarding him. Countless people and horses surged behind him. Coupled with the unanimous shouts of the onlookers, the entire forest shook.
Zhu Chuan stood on a rock halfway up the mountain, looking at the galloping horses with pride.
"If it weren't for protecting His Majesty, the one running at the front must be our governor." He said, waving his hand behind him, "Lift it over here and let her take a look."
Behind him stood a dozen Ducha Si soldiers, and four others carried a soft sedan. Four women stood around the sedan. Different from the black carriage when he came, there were curtains hanging on the sedan, and he could faintly see them.
A sitting figure inside.
Hearing Zhu Chuan's words, the four people carried the sedan over. Zhu Chuan used his waist knife to lift the curtain, revealing Qixing sitting inside wrapped in a cloak. The mountain wind immediately rushed in, lifting the cloak, and the chains hanging down from his hands and feet were faintly visible.
Qixing sat up straight and looked: "It's quite tiring to hunt like this."
You can't catch more prey than the emperor, but you can't catch nothing.
Zhu Chuan said: "This is the case for charioteers, so be honest. Our commander is really busy. We have to take you wherever we go. We just let you take a look at Linglongfang, so if you dare to act rashly, what will happen to you?"
It’s you…”
"It's the last time you see Linglongfang, right?" Qixing took over his words, "I know, I said before, I won't act rashly, and acting rashly now will not do me any good."
Then ask.
"Where is the better view?"
Chun Niang smiled hurriedly and said: "Further forward, there is a beautiful valley."
Qixing nodded: "Then go over there."
Qiuniang suggested: "The food table can be placed over there, so we can eat and drink and enjoy the spring scenery."
Qixing nodded in agreement.
Zhu Chuan curled his lips, it was really a spring outing, and waved his hand: "Go, clear the place."
…
…
"This way, this way."
A young lady held her skirt in front and waved to her companions behind.
"I know a place with particularly beautiful scenery."
Behind her, about seven or eight women held willow branches and wild flowers in their hands, some turned into flower baskets, and some just waved and played randomly, talking and laughing as they walked. Behind her, the maids and maids carried baskets and cushions.
"I know there is a mountain col and a small waterfall." A woman said from behind.
"Then let's put the food table over there and have a meandering water bottle." Another woman said with a smile.
These words made the other women agree repeatedly, and they did not feel tired anymore, so they quickened their pace, but when they reached the place where they could faintly hear the sound of falling water from the waterfall, they saw several dark-skinned soldiers standing in front of them.
The women's footsteps stopped, and their chatter and laughter stopped.
A Ducha Sibei waved his hand: "Ladies, please change places."
The ladies subconsciously stood on tiptoe and looked forward. Beyond the Ducha Sibingwei, they could see that the curtains had been drawn up, and the figures inside could be faintly seen. Several servants were setting up the food table.
"Miss, please try this..."
"good……"
There were also faint voices heard.
Is that the beauty that Huo Lian snatched? The ladies pricked up their ears, but the next moment Ducha Sibingwei coughed heavily, and the maids and maids also nervously stepped forward to persuade them to leave quickly.
All of this is because Chajibei, regardless of his gender or his status, will hit him whenever he wants without mercy.
The ladies hurriedly turned around and left, but they were more excited than nervous.
"Can you see clearly? What does it look like?"
"It's too far away. There's still a curtain, so I can't see anything."
"Didn't you go to the lantern banquet with Lu Hanlin? No one could see clearly?"
"At that time, she kept her head down and was always with Lu Hanlin. It was not easy for young women to get close to her."
"The Hanlin banquets are all old men. Don't look at anything inappropriate. Even if you look at it, your old eyes will not be able to see clearly."
"Anyway, according to a few ladies I've spoken to, she's quite good-looking, quiet and well-behaved."
"I don't know if she is Wenjing and well-behaved, but the ostentation is so huge that the Queen will not occupy a place and prevent people from getting close to her."
"Hehe, it's not a big show, it's a shame."
"Shh..."
The chattering voice was interrupted when someone said this, and the lady walking in front shook the others.
"Look, another shameless one."
The ladies looked forward and saw another person approaching, lightly wrapped in a cloak and walking slowly. Behind them was a maid, carrying a flower basket. She noticed the movement ahead and looked up.
Miss Xiahou smiled at them as before, but the ladies did not rush towards her as enthusiastically as before, let alone say hello. They looked at her individually, squeezed out a smile, and quickly looked away.
Just look away.
"Let's go." They greeted each other and walked quickly past Miss Xiahou.
Miss Xiahou didn't speak, she lowered her eyes and continued to move forward.
It seemed that they were going to the mountain col waterfall. Some people couldn't help but turn around and said, "Do you want to remind her not to go there?"
Then someone curled their lips and said: "We don't need to remind her, Ducha Jibingwei will remind her."
Someone else laughed: "Maybe that beauty wants to see her. After all, their relationship is not ordinary."
This remark made everyone laugh.
"Maybe that young lady will take revenge on her." One person whispered, "After all, the two of them have a grudge. Now that young lady has become Huo Lian's new favorite, it is not impossible to bully her."
So, it’s not impossible….
The maids and maids suddenly became more nervous. If a fight broke out at that moment -
"Go quickly, go quickly."
The ladies were driven away quickly.
Miss Xiahou in front stopped.
Although the ladies didn't say anything, she was not a fool. If a group of people returned despite knowing that there was a good scenery ahead, there must be something wrong.
She said to the maid, who always lowered her head like a frightened rabbit: "Let's have lunch here. You go and ask them to bring the food box."
The maid responded that the young ladies knew that the young lady was here and would not come over. It was very quiet here, and warned: "Miss, don't wander around."
Miss Xiahou responded with a smile, took the flower basket carried by the maid, and watched the maid hurry down the mountain.
The surroundings finally returned to silence. Miss Xiahou stood alone on the hillside, took a deep breath, and relaxed her straight shoulders.
In fact, she also wanted to be alone for a while, so she carried the flower basket and walked aimlessly to the other side of the hillside.
….
…
Although he was stopped and not allowed to come near, Zhu Chuan still watched the excitement and told Qixing, shaking his head and sighing.
"Poor Miss Xiahou, she turned from a talented and beautiful woman into a greedy and evil daughter who steals husbands."
"This is all your fault, and your affectionate fiancé!"
Qixing laughed and said, "And your lecherous Captain Huo!"
Zhu Chuan sighed: "That's because outsiders don't know your true face."
Qixing laughed and motioned to Chun Niang to pass the wine glass.
"No drinking." Zhu Chuan said, "Don't try to act crazy by getting drunk, I won't show mercy!"
Qixing said: "If I really want to do anything, there is no need to get drunk." After saying that, he took a sip of the wine that Chun Niang handed to his mouth, and when he was about to say something, a faint female scream suddenly came to his ears.
She raised her head and looked in the direction behind her.
"It's poor Miss Xiahou," she said, looking at Zhu Chuan again.
Deliberately copying his words, Zhu Chuan sneered: "Don't even think about it!"
Ducha Sibingwei came over and said in a low voice: "Miss Xiahou seems to have jumped off a cliff and fell."
There is a small waterfall here, and behind the waterfall is a cliff.
