Chapter 152 Xijixing Palace
After all, the spring hunting team came out of Yedu. There is a western character in the name of Xiji Mountain, which the royal habitually hunts, but it is in the north of Yedu. After leaving the city, he saw that there were fewer pedestrians on the roadside. Mu Biwei got Ji Shen's permission and looked out with the curtain, but saw the magnificent honor, and occasionally saw the protection of mulberry flashing by, although the road The loess was cushioned and sprinkled with clear water, but because the carriage and horse Xiao Xiao were long and long, the first few horses that opened the way for the Holy Driver passed by, and the dust suddenly rose. As soon as the curtain was lifted, there was a burst of smoke and dust, but it was impossible to take the opportunity to see the scenery.
Seeing that she put down the curtain disappointed and wiped the dust on her face with a veil. Before leaving, He Shi, who was summoned by Ji Shen to accompany the emperor's car, covered his sleeves and smiled softly and said, "Wei Niang and my concubine were the same as when we hunted last autumn. I thought that we were usually in the palace, and it was difficult to get out of the door once. I was curious to see what it looked like outside. I didn't want to see what it looked at. Except for Feihewei, which is the Yecheng Army, you can't see it at all.
The emperor was generous, but Ji Shen put his head on He's lap and closed his eyes slightly. He opened his eyes and smiled and said, "I remember that it was the same when I went to Xiji Mountain for the first time with the emperor when I was a child, but now the snow has melted, and there is no scenery to see along the way. However, there are several good scenery in Xiji Mountain. If I have time, I Let me take you to have a look."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mu Bi's eyes lit up, quickly rolled up her sleeves, picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to his lips attentively. Ji Shen opened her mouth and held it with her fingertips for a while before swallowing it. She smiled and said, "Before I take you to enjoy the scenery, you become attentive... Jin Niang, how about you?" Mu Biwei glanced at him with the words. He wiped the corners of Ji's mouth with a veil and smiled, "How dare I fall behind - when it comes to viewing the scenery, I remember that the forest in the northeast of the palace was as red as blood in autumn. It's really shocking! My concubine accidentally walked in. When she left the palace, she specially picked up a few leaves with her own hands and sandwiched them in several volumes of books in the Dingxing Hall to make signatures. She smelled the smell as if it could avoid insects.
Mu Bi showed curiosity and said, "Mother, is it a maple leaf?"
He said kindly, "It's not like that. I don't know what it is."
The two looked at Ji Shen together. Ji Shen thought about it but didn't pay attention to it. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty won the first name in autumn hunting last year. Although the forest looks good in my concubine, it has never hidden any prey in it. I'm afraid Your Majesty hasn't passed."
Ji Shen raised his voice and ordered Ruan Wenyi standing on the outer corridor to ask Nie Yuansheng to inquire.
Although Nie Yuansheng's official position is not high, he is a close minister, so he has been around the emperor's car. When he heard that Ji Shen was summoned, he abandoned Ma Deng's chasolar. When he came in, he was exempted by Ji Shen and asked, "What is the forest in the northeast of Xiji Xinggong Palace?"
"To your majesty, I seem to remember Huang Li." Nie Yuansheng thought for a moment.
"The yellow oak is indeed as red as blood in autumn, but it is not a maple leaf." Ji Shen nodded and said, "Jin Niang just remembered that the forest was good and wanted to take Wei Niang to see it, but she was asked what kind of tree the forest was. I haven't been there, so I asked you."
Nie Yuansheng said, "Last year, I chased a scorpion to see it. There was only a yellow oak at the foot of the Xiji Mountain, and it was as red as a sea of blood in autumn, so I remembered it."
Although he is a close minister, now there is a concubine and a female official in the car, and it is not easy to keep it all the time, so after Ji Shen asked, Nie Yuansheng left again.
He smiled as if he didn't care and said, "Nie Shilang knew that it was Huang Li from afar, but he was a careful person!"
Ji Shen listened to Sun and others say good words about Nie Yuansheng. He had always felt that Nie Yuansheng was excellent, so he didn't take it seriously and said, "This is natural."
Mu Biwei thought about what it means for He to toss out this yellow forest? However, He smiled meaningfully at herself, but no longer pestered this topic. She was tired of Ji Shen's coquettishness and asked Ji Shen's hunting skin this year.
Because of the grand royal honor, the emperor's chaise alone is as big as an ordinary room. A watchtower was even built on all sides to make the soldiers stand on guard. The journey is inevitably slow. It only takes more than 30 miles a day, so that it takes the third day to reach the bottom of the West Pole Mountain - if a single horse drives fast, it is actually a The journey of the day.
It was already the beginning of Shen's journey to the Xiji Xinggong Palace. Although it was a new official road from Yedu to Xiji Xinggong, the emperor's car was also stable, but after three days of detention, Mu Biwei and He were a little unrestrained, and even Ji Shen also showed fatigue. Lei Jian, the head of the palace servant of the Xinggong, took people to pick him up in front of the gate of the palace and was busy seeing the situation. Welcome people in to rest.
Ji Shen went hunting this time. In addition to Mu Biwei, the concubine came out as a female official, and the concubine brought a total of five people. In addition to the He family, there were also Yan Chonghua, the head of Jiafu Palace, Dai Shifu Palace, and the royal daughter of Anfu Palace. Originally, Ji Shen had set up these four concubines. She didn't want the Empress Dowager Gao to persuade him to take Ouyang Ninghua as well. Come out.
Mu Biwei followed Ji Shen into the main hall of the Xinggong, served Ji Shen's wide clothes and changed into regular clothes. Lei Jian led people to hold the face towel and hot water. Mu Bi slightly twisted a handkerchief to wipe Ji Shen for Ji Shen. Ji Shen felt very tired and ordered the dinner to be postponed for an hour and take a nap first.
Such an evening meal was not served until Xu. After having dinner, Ji Shen called Yan Chonghua to sleep because she was accompanied by He and Mu Biwei in the past few days, but she urged that she did not have to serve Mu Biwei. She had a good life to settle down and had enough energy to accompany her to the hunting ground tomorrow - Ji Shen knew that Mu Biwei had learned some martial arts.
When he arrived at his residence in the palace, A Shan had already packed up and was waiting. Seeing that she came in with a tired look, he hurriedly waited for her to clean up and said, "The maidservant asked Lei for some porridge, and the girl needs more."
"No, I've been very tired in the imperial cartel these days. It's easy that I don't have to serve you tonight. I'll settle it first. I don't know what He's idea has suddenly been doing these days?" Mu Bi waved her hand slightly and said a few words to Ah Shan. She put on her clothes and fell asleep in a short time.
The next day, although Mu Biwei was reluctant, she had to get up early and hurriedly clean up. When she arrived at the main hall, she saw that Yan Chonghua was already serving Ji Shen to change clothes - she was not tall and was the daughter of a commoner. It was said that Ji Shen saw it when she left the palace. After people heard about them, she entered the palace with an edict.
Because she was originally just an ordinary girl. Although she was beautiful, she didn't want to rely on her to climb a high branch at home, so she was summoned to the palace. She was not as good as several concubines who were born as palace maids. After several losses in plain and secretly, Yan didn't know how to fight back, and became more and obedient. It is recognized as the most cowardly one in the throne.
Yan is a typical little jasper, so although she is cowardly, this temperament is not annoying. On the contrary, there is a kind of delicateness in it. Although Mu Biwei is also a delicate beauty, Yan's careful and timid delicateness is close to the wind with Mu Bi. The weakness of the water is different. In contrast, the latter is better.
Seeing Mu Biwei enter the hall, Yan knew that she was extremely favored by Ji Shen. She paused for Ji Shen's clothes, as if she wanted to give it to her, but Mu Biwei stood aside and looked at it with a smile after saluteing. Yan Shi saw this and continued to tie Ji Shen's clothes.
When Yan served Ji Shen and put on her robe, Mu Biwei smiled and said, "Your Majesty's robe is extraordinary."
"Today is the first day. As usual, there are many scenes to go. You can take the opportunity to refresh yourself." Ji Shen has been favored by Emperor Gaozu since he was a child. All kinds of royal etiquette are extremely familiar and flowing. He raised his hand to correct the crown and said gently, "If you are anxious, you can also look for Jin Niang to go to the yellow forest first. However, the snow this spring is very heavy. I don't know if a lot of it has been knocked down."
The first time of hunting was the sacrificial ceremony, and the harem and the women did not have to participate, so Ji Shen said so.
For several days in spring hunting, although Mu Biwei wanted to take this opportunity to meet her family, she was not in a hurry and was happy to take this opportunity to rest, but she still said anly: "I love to see your majesty's neat appearance. Now it doesn't matter whether the yellow forest looks at it or not."
Ji Shen was in a good mood. She sat down and ordered Yan to eat with the three of them.
After the meal, Ji Shen went to host the hunting ceremony in person. Yan Chonghua was not talkative. As soon as Ji Shen left, he also took the maid back to his residence.
Mu Biwei also wanted to go back to make up for a sleep, but she didn't expect He to find it in person. She took her hand with a spring breeze on her face and couldn't help saying, "Let's go and have a look at the yellow forest now, otherwise you will accompany the holy driver after hunting, I'm afraid there will be no chance."
"Mother, take a step slower." Mu Biwei couldn't care about her, so she smiled and said, "I just accompanied Your Majesty to eat, with some oil stains on my sleeves, and let me change my dress."
He said cheerfully, "Then I'm waiting for you here."
"Thank you very much."
Returning to his residence, Mu Biwei hurriedly told the story, ordered Ah Shan to choose a tanned miscellaneous that was easy to move, and changed the silk shoes walking in the palace into short boots. Ah Shan also cleaned up. The two returned to their place just now. He was still waiting there and got up to travel.
What He said, the yellow oak forest is in the northeast of the palace. When it goes out from the corner gate of the palace, it is a mountain path paved with long green stones. It is winding up, and there are proud and cold cypresses on both sides. Because it is now March. Although it is snowy this spring, it is always time to melt snow. Many mountain birds stop when they are not far away, and their feathers are fresh and beautiful. Cute, seeing this scene, the group of people did not feel slowing down.
After the spring hunting was settled, the palace in Xiji Mountain was surrounded by the Yecheng army all the way to the whole hunting ground. Inside was a flying crane guard. The left side of the palace can be said to be heavily guarded, and there was no hidden danger. Therefore, He only brought peach branches and peach leaves. All three of them were ordinary women. Mu Biwei and A Shan had martial arts. With art, naturally, they don't have any plans - the guards around here are all flying crane guards of the imperial army, directly under Ji Shen. He has only been in the palace for a year. It is really impossible to buy the royal guards, and even if anything happens, He is now half a step ahead of Mu Biwei. If there is any danger, Mu Biwei can I don't mind taking her as a hostage first. Even if it's for the sake of the He family, she won't put herself in for the sake of the poster.
So she walked along the mountain path with He at ease.
The mountain path was a fewfold, but I saw a touch of red in the remnant snow and green cypress.
The yellow oak does not wither in winter, against the snow that has not yet melted, becoming more and more thrilling.
Mu Biwei couldn't help standing up and admiring, "What a wonderful scene in the world!"
"It's more beautiful to go in." He also sighed, "Although I saw it once a few months ago, I still feel overwhelmed when I see it again."
While talking, both of them unconsciously accelerated their pace.
The mountain path goes straight into the forest.
Entering the forest, as expected, there was a burning forest on all sides. Although it was covered with snow, it still could not suppress the momentum of the flames.
After walking for a long time, although Mu Biwei was still vigilant, she still sighed: "I have read the sentence 'Beautiful apricot burning forest', but now I know that the shocking red leaf forest is more popular than the spring apricot blossoms like the sea!"
"Now it has been reduced by five or six points compared with the first time I saw it. Autumn is the real forest burning mountains." He squeezed her lips and smiled. She was relaxed and didn't seem to have any plans at all.
So the two visited the forest for a long time, and it was time for Ji Shen to come back, so they returned to the palace leisurely.

If it's a bug... Well, please automatically replace it with some kind of tree that is also popular in winter
