History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 246

After summoning Jun's clan's will, officials from all over the country immediately started to arrange, and the capital also arranged positions in the mansion. By the end of February, the two people who were closer to the capital had already arrived in Beijing.Because Junrui was far away, and Qin Zhen insisted on marrying her, Qin Ziyang didn't rush to chase her away. It took time to make arrangements.

At the beginning of March, Xu Lang really took Lin Lang to go hunting in the countryside.Since the Xu family took over the imperial city the year before last, the political situation was chaotic and there was no time for him to care about it. In the spring of the following year, Xu Fengxian died of a serious illness, but he hadn't held a hunting siege in a decent way.At this time, the political situation had largely settled down, and the Ministry of Rites arranged the hunt.

Spring is everywhere, the Empress Dowager is too old to move the land at will, and Chu Hanyi has a calm personality and wants to sit in the harem, so Xu Lang only brought Lin Lang there.Although there were not many people in the palace, there were quite a few people in the clan. The eldest princess Xu Xiang naturally didn't want to miss such an event. Xu Fengying and his son Bing's newly married imperial concubine Han Xuan'er and others also came, and several other close friends The courtiers followed, and the momentum was quite grand.

The hunt was arranged in a palace outside Beijing, and because Han Xun had joined the Forbidden Army now, and He Wenhan was also accompanying him, Lin Lang invited He Xuanji and Pei Mingxi along.

Being restrained in the palace for too long, everything in the palace is complete, Xu Lang led the courtiers to hunt in front, Lin Lang, He Xuanji, Pei Mingxi and others watched and played in the back mountain.In spring, the wind has softened. Standing on the mountainside, although there is no wide view at the top, you can still have a panoramic view of the distant mountains and near the water. The mountain flowers and weeds all make people feel comfortable.

The hunting ground is at the foot of the mountain, and the sons and daughters are riding their horses in a heroic manner, exuding vigorous vitality.

Lin Lang's eyes were sharp, and she saw the heroic Xu Xiang at a glance. She was galloping on the horse, and she was chasing and shooting a leopard with a young red-robed general.That thing is fierce and easy to hurt people, so even if it is released in the hunting ground, it must be surrounded by iron fences. Because the spring hunting is mainly about rituals, Xu Lang's main purpose is to take Lin Lang to relax. At this time, he is on the outside Shooting a few hares and mountain birds in the woods, now only Xu Xiang and the young general in red are in the beast field.

The riding skills of the two seem to be on par. They drew their bows and set up arrows, chasing and biting closely.At a turning point, the leopard turned to the left just to catch Xu Xiang who was on the left side. He saw a sharp arrow shoot out from the bow. It was hard to see where it hit from a distance, but the beast knelt down and fell to the ground. Yuzi struggled to run forward, and got into the dense forest inside after a while.

Both Xu Xiang and the red-robed young general reined in their horses, the red-robed young general cupped his hands slightly, Xu Xiang jumped off his horse, and stretched out his hand to pull him to look for him.Both of them were wearing strong clothes today, the young general in red robe was half a head taller than Xu Xiang, with a fluttering helmet, and a handsome appearance.

Lin Lang was open-minded, with a smile on her face, "Xiang'er has a good eye." He Xuanji didn't understand what he meant, because Pei Mingxi often had to paint for the women in the palace, and Xu Xiang admired her temperament, and knew a little about the inside story One or two, upon hearing the words, he laughed and said, "I'm afraid only such a person is worthy of our eldest princess."

"Such a scene, do you want to paint with ink?" Lin Lang looked at her with a smile, and Pei Mingxi greeted her as a female official, "I will definitely use ink when I go back, and I will serve it to the queen another day."

He Xuanji next to him heard the conversation, and then looked at Xu Xiang's seemingly deserted appearance, how could he guess that she also smiled and pursed her lips.

Living in the palace for a while, the world is open and vast, and there are sisters and friends who are always by her side, Lin Lang simply can't think of leaving.It's a pity that after all, the time to come out is limited, and when the time comes, I have to go back to Luan. It was night when I knelt and sat under the eaves of the open hall, listening to the low chirping of birds and insects, and seeing the moonlight on the distant mountains, Lin Lang felt very reluctant, "I will come out next time." I don't know when."

"June." Xu Lang was sitting next to her, and the weather was getting hot at that time, so I'll take you there to avoid the heat. "

"It's a deal!" Lin Lang rejoiced.

It was already the beginning of April when he returned to the palace, and Pei Mingxi was going to marry Sui Yuandao in a few days, so naturally Lin Lang would not bother her to paint anymore.Pei Yushi was not happy to see that Pei Mingxi and the empress of the dynasty had a close friendship, and even Mrs. Pei and Pei Minglan were extremely flattering, and they tried their best to record Pei Mingxi under Mrs. Pei's name and treat her as a daughter of the first line. Just marry off.

But Pei Mingxi didn't think so.

She was squeezed out when she first came to Beijing, and she did feel sorry for her background, but she never thought of voting for Mrs. Pei's name.Later, when she entered the Academy of Painting and followed Sui Yuandao through the vast rivers and mountains, she naturally had more hills and valleys in her chest. With her own talent as a reliance, she didn't need to cling to Mrs. Pei anymore.What's more, his mother Yang's life was lonely, except for a lonely grave in the village, she was the only daughter left in the world, Pei Mingxi couldn't bear to give it up.

However, there are many dignitaries in the capital, and they are very particular about the word etiquette, and there are very few people like Lin Lang who don't care about their status and only pay attention to their temperament.Therefore, even though the news of Pei Mingxi's closeness to the queen is widely spread in the circle of nobles, her background is still despised by many people, at least in the eyes of Sui Yuandao's mother, if Pei Mingxi really married Sui Yuandao with such an embarrassing background as his wife, When she goes out to socialize in the future, her own face will definitely not look good.

Sui Yuandao is a calm and calm person. He is the fourth of five brothers in his family. Since he was a child, he has the temperament of a wild crane and doesn't like to be restrained. Therefore, since he and Pei Mingxi are in love, he insists on getting married.

The two elders of the Pei family were getting old, and there was nothing they could do about this son. Sui Yuandao had insisted on not marrying him before, but later he was willing to marry him. I will recognize it under Mrs. Pei's name.

But when the matter came to an end, the Pei family sent a name card, but it was not Mrs. Pei's name.Madam Sui then felt it was strange and sent someone over to inquire, only to find out that Pei Mingxi refused to admit that she was a descendant.And Sui Yuandao also felt that his mother, Yang, had the gift of childbearing, which could not be changed no matter what.

Even if Mrs. Sui indulged her son, she still couldn't accept her son marrying such an embarrassing girl as his main wife. For the first time in her life, she uttered harsh words to her son - if Pei Mingxi came from a bad background, she could only be a concubine, never a regular wife.
