Chapter 37

Eunuch Li: "Your Majesty, the Minister of War is here."

Emperor Jiawen said "Oh", "Let him in."

Minister of the Ministry of War saluted, and Emperor Jiawen waved his hand: "Ai Qing, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Is it for the autumn hunting this time?"

"Your Majesty is aware of the situation, and this minister came here just for this matter. The autumn hunting in the eastern suburbs has already been prepared, and the Ministry of War has dispatched [-] people to guard the periphery of the autumn hunting grounds. The surrounding bans have also been handed over to Mr. Chen," he said from the beginning. A roll of paper was taken out from the sleeve of the robe: "All the specific matters are written on the paper, and please read it to the emperor."

Emperor Jiawen glanced at him a few times: "Ai Qing has always been in charge of this autumn hunting, and I am very clear about your ability, but this autumn hunting has allowed princes and ministers to bring their female relatives, so we should pay attention to the overly fierce birds of prey." , don’t put them in the autumn hunting grounds.”

Minister of the Ministry of War agreed, Eunuch Li brought tea, and Emperor Jiawen drank a couple of sips: "Go pass on my password, let the queen and the others follow."

Eunuch Li: "Yes, this servant will go and inform the Empress, Concubine Li and Concubine Hui."

Emperor Jiawen nodded, and when Eunuch Li was about to leave the door, he spoke again: "Come back."

Eunuch Li ran back quickly: "What other orders does the emperor have?"

Emperor Jiawen: "Go and get Yan Jieyu to prepare as well."

Eunuch Li replied: "Yes."

Since Xiao Wan agreed to Concubine Hui last night, no matter how unwilling she was, she still had to go to Concubine Hui's palace.

She was nibbling melon seeds, while Concubine Hui was reading poetry and books, the two seemed to be in harmony.

Concubine Hui: "If my younger sister likes these stir-fried melon seeds, I will send some more to Yongxiu Palace in a while."

"What book is sister reading?"

"It's just some volumes of poetry." Concubine Hui asked, "Which literati do my sister like?"

Xiao Wanwan: "I'm not afraid of my sister's jokes when I say it. I don't know much about this poet and poet, and I don't read many books. I just like to read some market stories. I can't compare with my sister in poetry."

Xiao Wanwan didn't intend to give herself the attributes of a talented woman, her father was only a seventh-rank official, he was honest and upright, and he didn't have the money to hire a great talent to teach Xiao Wanwan piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The palace maid came in and announced: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Li is here."

Eunuch Li: "Concubine Hui is auspicious. This time, this servant came here specially to pass on the emperor's oral order. The autumn hunting still needs to be accompanied by his wife... Yan Jieyu, you are really easy to find for this servant. I didn't expect you to come here." It's really a coincidence that the emperor's oral servants came down together in Concubine Hui's palace, and Yan Jieyu also accompanied Sheng Jia."

Although Eunuch Li had prepared himself psychologically, he never expected that Yan Jieyu would be able to qualify for the autumn hunt so quickly.

Concubine Hui said, "Congratulations, sister."

Eunuch Li beckoned, and the little eunuch behind him immediately brought up a tray with a few pieces of paper on it.

"This is the style of this year's riding outfit sent by the imperial weaving workshop. I don't know which one the two empresses prefer."

Different from the elegant and wide sleeves of the skirt, the cuffs of the riding suit are tightened. Just from the blueprints, one can see the heroine model. Xiao Wanwan pointed to one of them, and asked Li Eunuch by the way: "Is it Want to mount a horse?"

Eunuch Li replied: "Yes."

Xiao Wanwan's face was all wrinkled: "Please trouble the father-in-law and tell the emperor that the concubine does not know how to ride a horse. I am afraid that if she makes a joke, she will embarrass the royal family. I ask the emperor to think about it and change to another sister."
