The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 749 Mulan Autumn ([-])

In the blink of an eye, it was July, and the palace was still in full bloom. When the purples and reds were blooming, the Mulan Paddock was already chilled, and the west wind blew the tender green leaves yellow, covering the mountains and fields with layers of golden yellow.

With the setting sun shining so brightly, one feels that the mountains and plains are covered with gold, which is really fascinating.

As for Yujia, Haohao Tangtang arrived at this boundary on July [-]th.

It was originally said that Wan Yu was alone with her, but after Wan Yu tried her best to persuade her, all concubines and concubines above the rank of concubine were lucky enough to join him.

In the early years, the Mulan paddock was first built, and the emperor would come here almost every year for autumn.

There are two reasons for this. One is that the Manchurians are conquered on horseback, and the skill of riding and archery cannot be left behind even if the country is in peace.The princes raised in the palace every day are accustomed to rich clothes and fine food. It is very necessary for them to maintain the spirit of bravery, fighting, simplicity and hard work through autumn.

Second, Mulan Paddock is located close to the princes and nobles in the northern desert area, so as to consolidate and develop relations with various Mongolian tribes, strengthen the management of the northern desert area, deter the imminent Tsarist Russia, and consolidate the frontier defense of the northern border.

Mulan Paddock is a royal hunting garden, and royal hunting is naturally extraordinary.

Every time the emperor comes here, it will cause a lot of commotion.

Accompanying princes and ministers, princes and princesses, and palace guards, there are tens of thousands of horses and horses at every turn.

And before the emperor comes here, the officials will prepare the encirclement first.

The minister of encirclement led the army of soldiers, from far to near, a wide encirclement circle of tens of inclinations was formed.

The prey in the enclosure can't escape, let the emperor, prince, prince, minister, etc. hunt and kill.

And the Minister Guan Wei will also screen carefully, and drive out the raptors, or the beasts that may endanger the life of the emperor, so as to ensure the safety of the autumn.

On this day, after the emperor held a grand sacrifice ceremony in the Mulan paddock, the autumn of the new year began.

Those accompanying at that time were the third elder brother Yinzhi, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen, the fifth elder brother Yinqi, the eighth elder brother Yinsi, the ninth elder brother Yintang, the tenth elder brother Yinzhen, the twelfth elder brother Yinzhen, and the thirteenth elder brother. Brother Yinxiang, the fourteenth elder brother Yinti, and all the relatives and ministers all rode on horseback. When the emperor gave an order, they all rode away and started hunting.

A group of concubines were seated at the long table beside Wei Wei, which was filled with delicious food and wine, chatting quietly.

His own son hunted with the emperor, rode a horse gallantly, and got his biological mother to show off.

Looking at Xiuyan with a smile on her face, pointing at the ashes raised by the galloping horses in the distance, she said: "Look at the third elder brother, the horses are moving so fast that they will catch up with the emperor."

Yuwen took care of Shenshang and drew a full glass of sake, and said coldly: "What's the use of running fast? This autumn is to see who hunts the most, and the best hunters. It's not a horse race. Why are you so happy?" ?”

Xiuyan glanced at her, snorted, took a grape from the long table and put it in, and said in a strange way: "Oh, this year's grapes are really sour."

Hearing her words, Concubine Cheng Yuwan let out a chuckle: "Sister Rong is joking, how can the special grapes be sour? But concubine listening, Sister Hui's words are quite sour. In the past, when Mulan was in autumn, it was the elder brother who stayed close to the emperor. Now we are here in the paddock enjoying the wind and enjoying the scenery, and the elder brother is still confined in the mansion. How can sister Hui feel happy? "

Yuwen glanced at her, and said sarcastically: "You have a mouth that can speak well. Why did I see all the accompanying princes today, but I didn't see Yinyou?" She paused for a while, and raised the butterfly in her hand Juanzi covered his lips and teeth and smiled recklessly: "Oh, I forgot. Brother Qi is a cripple, how can that cripple hunt with the emperor? Let the officials see it, why don't you laugh your ass off?"

Yuwan's face turned pale for a moment, and she was about to distinguish, but she heard Wanyu coughed twice, and said with a soft smile: "They are all my sisters, just say some hurtful things. The emperor will come back later and see us all anxiously." Poor-faced, you should regret bringing us women from deep palaces out to see the world." She took a sip of the chrysanthemum soup, then changed the subject: "I remember six or seven years ago, right? During Mulan's autumn, the emperor hunted and killed 310 eight rabbits in one day, and it became a good story for a while. Sisters think, who can come out on top today, and who can return with a full reward?"

The imperial concubine Rong Yu smiled, looked at Wan Yu and said: "The tenth elder brother is the best at riding and shooting, and he has already won a very good prize when he came back. This time, he looks even more energetic. I feel that he is the most conspicuous. .”

Wanyu evaded and said: "Yin can't hold back his temper, and forgets about it after getting some sweets, and can't do anything. The concubine thinks that the third elder brother is very good." She said and glanced at Xiuyan: "The first deer in the year before last was not Was it Yinzhi who got it?"

Xiuyan smiled shyly, waved her hands and said, "No, no, how can Yinzhi compare with Elder Brother Ten?"

When everyone pushed me away, Rou Jia muttered sullenly: "What are you being hypocritical about?"

Her voice was extremely weak, but it followed the wind and entered Wanyan's ears.

Wan Yu looked at her, then smiled and said: "Look, I forgot about the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother. It's just that the two of them usually value literature over martial arts, so it's better to be eleventh elder brother."

Before the words finished, Wanyu hurriedly covered her mouth, shook her head and sighed: "Looking at my memory, it's a pity to think about it, remembering that Elder Brother Eleven was young, the emperor also praised him for his good riding and archery skills He is talented, and he even taught him the art himself. If the heavens were not jealous of the talents, I think it will be today."

When Rou Jia heard what Wan Lai said, her heart felt sore, and the corners of her eyes were red and tears were about to fall.

She wanted to argue, but she knew that Wannai was very powerful, so she didn't have the guts to argue.

He had no choice but to drink a full glass of sake, stood up and said bitterly: "Sisters are chatting, I'm not feeling well, go back to Weiwei to rest for a while."

Everyone chatted passionately with each other, how could anyone pay attention to her?

At this moment, Roujia exclaimed: "Ah! What is that!"

Wan Lai looked back at Rou Jia with contempt in her eyes, but saw that she was trembling with fright, and could not help but move backwards, following her gaze, and was completely shocked by the scene in front of her.

I saw two brown leopards with black spots running wildly not far away.

The concubines were so frightened that they lost their minds, and Li Jian, who was serving the masters, was also shocked, and hurriedly called the guards to protect the ladies.

Groups of guards surrounded Wan Lai and the others, looking around in panic and vigilance.

Suddenly, a brown light flashed in front of everyone, and a leopard with a slender body, long legs, and a small head appeared from nowhere.

Wan Yu was so frightened that she covered her chest, and looked closely, the leopard had a black stripe from the corner of its mouth to the corner of its eyes, and a black ring at the end third of its tail.The hair on the back of the neck is slightly longer, like a mane.

She immediately exclaimed: "Be careful, it's a cheetah! It's extremely wild and can hurt people!"
