Chapter 292 Hidden Mysteries
Beside him was Tang Peirou who hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Why are you here?" Ye Zhaoyan was a little surprised.

"Well, Ms. Tang invited me, thinking that there is nothing to do, so I came." Ji Sinian lowered his eyes slightly, "You are alone, and I can take care of you when I come."

Tang Peirou looked at her, then at Ji Sinian at the side, with the corners of his mouth slightly curled up: "Miss Ye, let's get ready first, the autumn hunting will start in a while."

Ye Zhaoyan said goodbye to the two of them, feeling uneasy.Ji Sinian must have sensed something and came here.If the list for this autumn hunt hadn't been drawn up by Emperor Donglin, she wouldn't have to take the risk to participate.

"Miss Ye, please have some tea." An obedient voice came, and Ye Zhaoyan followed the voice. A maidservant in a light green dress came respectfully holding a cup of jasper cup, and handed it to her with gentle eyes. In front of him, "Servant Bi Luo, serve you tea."

Ye Zhaoyan was slightly taken aback, this maid... was actually the maid she had seen in the Zhuo Palace.

She raised her eyes, looked around without showing any traces, and found a person standing not far from the right, wearing a crescent white brocade robe embroidered with gold silk and cloud patterns, with a jade pendant around her waist, with a beautiful face and an extraordinary temperament, He was staring at himself, with a bit of worry in his clear and clean eyes.

It is Zhuo Yibai.

Ye Zhaoyan looked back slightly, took the hot tea from Biluo, and when he held the bottom of the teacup with his right hand, he felt a small object, which seemed to be a folded note.

She hurriedly retracted her sleeves, pretended to be splashed by tea, wiped her sleeves lightly, and opened the note by the way.

"There is a volt in the hunting ground, be careful."

A few numbers, but Ye Zhaoyan's pupils shrank sharply, causing a storm in his heart.

She thought that this autumn hunt was just an opportunity for King Qing to attack her, and she had planned a countermeasure in advance, but she didn't expect that an ambush was set up on the hunting ground with other purposes hidden.

Ye Zhaoyan picked up the teacup and quickly wiped the ink on the note, and then took a sip of the tea. The tea was sweet and mellow, and it was the excellent Biluochun, which made her feel a little more at ease.

No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, she decided to fight with all her strength.

After a while, Emperor Donglin and several ministers walked up the steps and stood on the high seat.

He was wearing a black dragon robe and a purple gold crown, with a tall and majestic figure. He walked all the way, with a look of contempt, which made people look sideways.

"Your Majesty, this autumn hunt is to celebrate the centenary of the founding of Tianlu. I think that a hunting competition should be held, and the third place should be selected to show the greatness of the emperor's grace, so that the people will remember my emperor's long live, long live, long live, and revitalize I have the power of the Tianlu Dynasty." Chen Zhiqing, Minister of the Ministry of War, stepped forward and said.

Emperor Donglin looked around and saw that all the ministers and workers had arrived, and said loudly: "No. The rules of autumn hunting today still follow the ancestral system. There is only one difference. The top three can ask me for rewards."

The courtiers knelt down and saluted one after another.

After a while, the horn sounded on the hunting ground, and everyone got up one after another, went to the designated place according to their respective arrangements, and waited for the guards to assign number plates.

After a stick of incense, the guards led each family into the arena, a total of [-] people.

Ye Zhaoyan mingled among the female guests, went to the tent, and waited to change into the autumn hunting outfit before being taken to the entrance of the hunting ground.

The annual autumn hunt is huge, with the participation of the royal family and generous rewards, which weigh a lot. Even the female relatives will dress solemnly, so most aristocratic families can only wear the fixed clothes issued by them.

The styles of the clothes are similar, but there are gorgeous and simple ones, and the colors and materials are also different.These noble ladies who are used to dressing up naturally hope to get a set of beautiful clothes.

Ye Zhaoyan was born in a family of military generals, and he has long been familiar with this way, and there are many well-equipped clothes that meet the regulations.But she is not very interested in beautiful clothes, she has already changed into the dark blue dress she brought, her jet-black hair is simply tied up in a bun, a black-blue wooden hairpin is inserted, and a dagger is hung horizontally on her waist. He has a heroic posture and a fierce momentum.

Most of the rest of the noble ladies who had changed their clothes got light and elegant clothes, and a few of the higher-ranked ones got concubine-colored red-colored and dark purple clothes.

Kun Yu, the princess of Nanyue, is wearing a bright red dress, which is very conspicuous among the crowd.

"Miss Ye," an elderly palace lady came over with a tray and said with a smile, "This is the clothes that His Majesty ordered your slaves to hand over."

On the tray was a strong begonia red dress, with exquisite workmanship, and one could tell it was made by the royal court at a glance.There are delicate dark patterns embroidered on the chest and shoulders. If you look closely, you will find that they are lifelike phoenixes and peonies. They look quite honorable, and the material of this dress is very precious. A golden peony is woven on it with gold threads. It made that dress luxurious and unparalleled, completely different from other clothes.Ye Zhaoyan hesitated for a moment, reached out to take it off, and said "Thank you".

That Gong'e resigned and quickly disappeared around the corner.

"Miss Ye." Suddenly a gentle female voice called her, and a moment later, Tang Peirou's face appeared at the door of the tent.

Ye Zhaoyan was a little puzzled in his heart. If he found him at this time, there must be something wrong.

Sure enough, seeing Tang Peirou showing worry, she whispered, "Master Ji asked me to come. He said that there was a hidden secret in this autumn hunt, and he specially asked me to see the color of Miss Ye's clothes, just in case."

Ye Zhaoyan instantly understood what she meant. Once Qiu Lie enters the arena, the crowd will disperse. The venue is vast, and it will be very inconvenient to identify the scattered noble ladies. The best way is probably the color of the clothes.

Thinking of this, she looked down at the Begonia red dress in her hand and narrowed her eyes slightly. Such a bright color seemed to be a unique mark.

Except for Kunyu, Mo Xueyuan and a few daughters of the royal family, few noble ladies wore such bright colors.

The clothes were sent by Emperor Donglin's people, so there must be a purpose, she didn't believe that he would send someone a set of clothes out of good intentions for no reason.

Although she is unwilling to confront the Dong Lindi brothers head-on, if the other party really wants to use this to plot against the Ye family, she will never sit still.

Ye Zhaoyan pondered for a moment, and suddenly heard a commotion outside, she opened the curtain and looked over, and found that it was a few other aristocratic ladies arguing.

"This dress was given to me by His Majesty, why do you want to snatch it!" The person who spoke was Zhang Qilan, the eldest daughter of Honglu Siqing. In a fairy bun, a crimson coral bead hairpin was inserted obliquely, and a red flower tin was pasted on the forehead, exuding a sense of charm in the arrogance.

"I should have chosen this dress first, and I came here earlier than any of you."

"You are messing around..."

……

Ye Zhaoyan frowned, watching coldly.

Eventually, that dress fell into the hands of another person.

Zhang Qilan's face was livid, and she glared viciously at the concubine of Zhan Shifu named Yuan Wan'er, but because of the presence of all the noble girls, she suppressed her anger.

Ye Zhaoyan glanced at the woman. She had a round face and a delicate appearance. She seemed to feel something, and raised her eyes to look at Ye Zhaoyan.
