Hidden golden branches

Hey, then Gu Fei is nothing at first glance. I hope Brother Ji will punish him severely!

Chen Rong, who was determined to retaliate, secretly hoped in her heart that Gu Fei would not end well so that she could be relieved of the bullying she suffered from him a few days ago.

Xu Yi, the little palace maid came forward with a gilt parrot pattern tray and put the pastries and fruits on the table beside Chen Wanru and Chen Rong. Remove the cool pastry from the top.

Chen Rong had just picked up a warm piece of sweet-scented osmanthus black rice cake when he heard the excited voice of the sixth prince coming from outside: "Concubine, mother. Come and see the rabbits and roe deer that my son has caught."

As soon as the little prince finished speaking, the heavy tent curtain was opened, and the sixth prince was seen wearing a fiery red riding costume and a pair of deerskin boots inlaid with small golden bells. The bells on the boots followed the sixth prince's footsteps. It makes a pleasant ringing sound as it runs.

When the little prince came in, he grabbed Chen Wanru's sleeve who was about to stand up and asked her to go outside the tent to see the results of his hunting today.

The little prince raised his little head and saw Chen Rong sitting next to his mother. He leaned forward and stretched out his other hand to hold Chen Rong's hand. He said happily: "Cousin, follow Yan'er to see the prey. .”

Outside the tent, Chang Yuan saw Chen Wanru hurriedly bowing to greet her: "I have met the imperial concubine."

The other guards who followed also bowed and said, "I have seen the Imperial Concubine."

"Well, no courtesy, thank you for your hard work." Chen Wanru said with a smile.

Chang Yuan said politely: "This is a matter within the minister's duty. How can we talk about hard work?"

When Chen Rong saw Chang Yuan, he also said hello: "Mr. Chang."

Chang Yuan turned his head to Chen Rong and cupped his hands and said, "I have met the county master."

Chen Rong smiled and nodded, and when he looked up, he saw the sixth prince Jin'er's prey laid out in a row.

At a glance, there are rabbits, foxes, deer and roe deer.

These preys were probably the work of Chang Yuan and the guards. It was impossible for the Sixth Prince to hunt these beasts because of his small size.

The sixth prince dragged Chen Wanru to the prey, pointed at the prey in front of him with his little meat finger and said: "Mother concubine, this little rabbit was caught by Yan'er, and this little fox was also caught by Yan'er. The rest were captured by them. Mom, look at these fox furs, they are beautiful, Yan'er wants to use the fox fur to make a scarf for Mom."

The sixth prince raised his little head, and the two horns on his head were swaying proudly.

Chen Rong was pleasantly surprised to see that the Sixth Prince did not take credit and did not take the credit of others as his own.

"Okay, okay, it's better to be filial to Ze Yaner. When I get back, my mother will ask someone from the Clothing Bureau to do it." Chen Wanru lovingly stroked the two horns dangling on the head of the sixth prince's head with her hands, and said with a smile.

"Hey, what are you so happy about?"

A magnetic and mellow voice of questioning came from afar. Chen Rong looked up and saw Xiao Xuan walking over from Gao Po.

Yunfu held a whisk in his right hand and put the whisk on his left arm. He walked closely behind the emperor with his fat body swaying in a splayed step.

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

When everyone saw the emperor coming, they quickly knelt down and shouted long live the emperor.

When the little prince arrived, he knelt down to pay respects. When he saw his father coming, he jumped up and down his short legs and ran towards Xiao Xuan with the bells on his feet ringing "ding bell, dripping bell".

When Xiao Xuan saw his youngest son running over, he stopped and stretched out his arms to catch his little body. He lifted him up with both arms. Then he said to everyone: "Pingshen."

Chen Rong got up and was about to help the imperial concubine and her aunt to her feet. Xiao Xuan held the little prince in his arms with one arm, walked over quickly and stretched out his other arm to help Chen Wanru up.

"Hey, Ru'er, why didn't you listen?" Xiao Xuan wrapped Chen Wanru's small white hand with his big skeletal palm and scolded in a low voice.

Chen Wanru glanced at Xiao Xuan with her tender and tender phoenix eyes, and said, "Tsk, I said I would bow like everyone else when I left Minghua Palace."

Xiao Xuan saw the way Chen Wanru looked at him and squeezed her soft little hand comfortingly.

Then, he put the little prince down and asked, "Are all these prey hunted by Yan'er?"

"No, only this little rabbit and this little fox were captured by Yan'er." The little prince pointed at two of the prey with his chubby little finger.

"Okay, that's right, I'll eat the prey hunted by Yan'er tonight." Xiao Xuan said happily, sweeping away the unhappiness he had just felt in the political tent.

Later, Xiao Xuan asked with concern: "Ru'er, are you hungry? Don't wait for me next time. Eat first when you are hungry."

"I'm not hungry. I have snacks to eat if I'm hungry here, but Your Majesty, you can only endure it if you're hungry."

Chen Wanru felt very sorry for the emperor. If he were in the palace, she could send some snacks or something to the imperial study to comfort him.

But here you are carrying a food box to bring food to the emperor. You can't have the emperor eating snacks on it while the ministers watch below.

As soon as the emperor came back, those insignificant people left immediately, leaving only the Jinwu Guards who pretended to be deaf and dumb and expressionless.

They have long been accustomed to being fed dog food every day.

When Grandma Mo saw the emperor coming back, she quickly took the little palace maid to the temporary imperial dining room to get lunch in person.

After entering the big tent, Xiao Xuan took his eyes away from Chen Wanru and found that Chen Rong was also there. He said to her gently: "Ji Aiqing will return to the capital today because of Gu Fei's case."

"Ah? Brother Ji is going back today?" Chen Rongmeng was surprised when he heard the news.

She was just a court lady, how could she ask Emperor Ji Yuxian what case he was handling and why he should return in such a hurry?

By the way, it’s not easy to come here. After only two days of hunting, you have to turn around and go back. Don’t you feel very disappointed?

Well, I'd better comfort him as soon as possible after dinner.

Chen Rong regards Ji Yuxian as herself, a child with a playful heart.

Xu Yi, first there were several palace maids holding gold and jade lamps and glass basins, their backs to their necks bent down submissively, not daring to raise their heads. Not to mention the steps, even the breathing was very gentle, allowing the masters to clean their hands.

The masters cleaned their hands and then took warm towels from the gilt trays to wipe off the water on their hands.

After the maids quietly stepped back with their golden jade cups and glass basins, Aunt Mo and several palace maids filed in to serve the meals, including braised pheasant with chestnuts, stir-fried rabbit meat with mushrooms, stir-fried deer breast with leeks, and bird's nest. Shredded chicken in honey sauce, eight-treasure lily, white jade pearl meatballs, boiled prawns, West Lake vinegar fish, fungus tofu soup, cold bracken.

Almost all of these dishes are freshly caught.

Not to mention the deer, rabbits and pheasants were caught freshly, and the mushrooms and fungus were all caught freshly in the mountains and forests. Even the shrimps and fish were all caught with fishing nets from the small river near the forest.

Chen Rong: The imperial concubine’s aunt taught the princes well. The young sixth prince knew not to take credit when he took the guards to hunt. He only shows off his prey in front of his mother and concubine.
