The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Chapter 165 Spring Hunting

After hearing Nan Xiang's words, Gu Junshen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He also didn't want Nan Xiang to think too much this time. After all, the marriage with the Anguo of the Northern Territory was a helpless move to reconcile the relationship between the two countries. The purpose was to allow the people living in the border areas of the two countries to live a stable life without being troubled by war.

Therefore, when it comes to the marriage, he cannot just consider his own feelings. As an emperor, he should consider the people of the whole country.

"My beloved concubine is virtuous. I am very pleased!"

Gu Junshen stretched out his sleeves and looked at Nanxiang with a gentle smile.

"Oh, right! Now that the war is over, it is spring and summer, a good season. I am thinking of organizing a hunting trip. I wonder if my beloved concubine has any ideas?"

Nan Xiang, who was about to close her eyes due to sleepiness, immediately opened her cold and beautiful phoenix eyes and looked at Gu Junshen when she heard the news that Gu Junshen was going to hold a spring hunting event.

"I wonder when the Emperor plans to hold it?"

There was a gleam of excitement in Nanxiang's eyes, and a look of interest was already on her face, gently causing dimples at the corners of her mouth.

"I wonder how Eighteen is doing?"

"Eighteen. Just in time! It will be a fine day, and a good time for hunting."

Nanxiang nodded slightly, very satisfied with this day.

Or rather, she was not only satisfied with the day, but also satisfied with the spring hunting trip.

She was worried that she would not have the chance to meet Lord Li from the military. Perhaps during this spring hunting trip, she would have the opportunity to have a conversation with him.

Let's test Mr. Li's attitude first.

Confirm that he is truly a wise minister who understands the righteousness of the cause.

Gu Junshen was a little skeptical when he saw that Nanxiang was very interested in spring hunting, but he felt relieved when he thought that Nanxiang had not left the palace for four years.

I think he has stayed in the palace for too long and wants to go outside to take a look.

In the past two days, he was busy dealing with state affairs and consolidating his regime, which caused him a lot of ridicule from the harem. Now it is time to add some activities to make the harem lively.

The two then discussed some details of the spring hunt.

This matter did not involve court politics, so Nanxiang also made a lot of suggestions.

Nan Xiang took the opportunity to suggest that some ministers' wives be invited to participate as well, as it would be a bit lonely if only people from the imperial palace were present.

After hearing this, Gu Junshen thought it made sense and readily accepted it.

Nanxiang's purpose is simple, which is to make this spring hunting lively and chaotic so that she can do some things in private.

Maybe we can also use this opportunity to get Lord Li to come and participate.

……

A few days later, when the concubines from the harem came to the Yanxi Palace to pay their respects, Nanxiang casually mentioned that a spring hunting event would be held soon.

After hearing this, the concubines' eyes lit up and they could hardly hide the joy on their faces.

Many concubines had no chance to see their families after entering the palace. This hunting party might allow them to meet their families and ease the pain of missing them.

The concubine, who had been silent when paying her respects, now asked about the relevant matters with great interest.

Nanxiang looked calm and smiled leisurely. She had known these concubines would behave like this, so she responded one by one with the remarks she had prepared long ago.

Of course, this hunting party might also be an opportunity for some concubines to take advantage of and cause trouble.

Especially the virtuous Concubine Huang, who had a smile on her face and looked easy-going, and the Concubine Wang, who had bright eyes and an uncontrollable smile on her face.

……

Chaoyang Palace.

After returning to the palace, Concubine Huang could no longer suppress her excitement.

This spring hunt might be a perfect opportunity for her to take revenge on Kusunoka.

She had heard about this when she was paying her respects that ministers and their wives would come to participate, and the scene would surely be extremely chaotic.

The more chaotic the situation, the more likely it is for minor friction to occur...

Her eyes moved slightly and she called out to Luqi outside.

……

Chengqian Palace.

After returning to the bedroom, Wang paced back and forth in the inner hall with a complicated expression, one of thoughtfulness and worry.

"Your Majesty! It's a good opportunity to meet the Imperial Censor during the spring hunt. Isn't that a good thing?"

Ningxiang saw her queen's sad face and said immediately.

"It's a good thing indeed. But I don't know why I can't be happy."

As Wang spoke, she felt a lump in her heart.

In her heart, she wanted to do something during the spring hunting, but she didn't expect that she would always feel uneasy about these things.

It seemed that if she did anything at this hunting meeting, it would bring herself unimaginable crisis.

"Ningxiang, tell me whether I should..."

"My Lady! Do as you please!"

Ningxiang heard this and understood Wang's concerns, and spoke in a low voice.

After hearing this, Wang thought for a moment and finally nodded.

……

3:00 pm, Yanxi Palace.

The weather today is much warmer than the previous few days. The birds are chirping on the branches, which is quite lively.

After lunch, the two little ones kept pestering Nanxiang, saying that they wanted to participate in the spring hunting on the 18th.

The two kids must have heard the news that Gu Junshen was going to hold a spring hunting event on April 18th from their tutor or the palace maids and eunuchs outside, and they were slightly moved.

I didn't understand what spring hunting was before, but now I understand.

Children are playful by nature, and if they happen to come across such a fun hunting party, they will definitely want to take part in it.

However, Nanxiang took into consideration that the two little ones were still very young, and it was too dangerous to go there.

Besides, she had some things to do privately, and it was inconvenient to bring two people with her.

So I didn't tell them, but I didn't expect them to bring it up themselves and even threatened to go with me.

Nan Xiang knew this would happen, so she lied and said it was just a rumor in the palace and couldn't be trusted.

The two little ones immediately looked sad, and looked at Nanxiang with worry, and even some tears in the corners of their eyes.

Everyone knew that Nanxiang's words were meant to deceive them.

Nanxiang looked helpless as well, this spring hunting was indeed too dangerous.

"Mother! Chen'er must be good and won't run around! Mother, please let us follow you."

Gu Yuchen pulled Nanxiang's sleeve and shook her begging.

Nanxiang's expression was calm, with only a slight smile at the corners of her mouth.

"Mother! Xuan'er heard that the emperor's sister will also go. Why can't my brother and I go?"

Gu Jinxuan said this with a somewhat unhappy tone.

"This! Your sister is much older than you! She can keep herself safe."

Nanxiang shook her head slightly and said that she could guess that Yongan would go there this time. It was nothing more than Wang's desire to restore the image of her daughter.

……

A few days later, the Spring Hunting Party began as scheduled. It lasted for three days in Nanyuan, ten kilometers south of Yongdingmen.

At this time, Nan Xiang was busy preparing things for the two little ones, clothes, bruises and ointments...

She originally disagreed, but she never expected that the two little ones would go directly to their father, Gu Junshen.

After acting cute for a while, Gu Junshen actually agreed.

This made Nan Xiang very angry, but since he had already agreed, if she still didn't give in, it would seem that she was a somewhat unsatisfactory mother.

However, she still gave the two little ones strict orders, requiring them not to leave the bodyguards beside them, and not to leave Chunyue and Caiyun.

In order to prevent any accidents, she asked Chunyue and Caiyun to look after the two children, so that she felt more at ease.
