Without practicing the Hehuan skill, the crazy leader has infinite charm
Chapter 343 Hunting
The original plan was to have Huaichuan prepare a delicious meal in the evening, invite the three elders over, and then Bai Huahua would secretly place the Floating Life Formation under Lin Congmo's pillow, so that he could enter the formation after falling asleep and reunite with Yao Jia's mother.
However, plans never keep up with changes.
That afternoon, Yao Jia was still handling official business in Tianxing Pavilion when Lin Congmo suddenly came in hurriedly and looked at her solemnly.
"Yaoyao, please find a good day to move the tomb. Daddy will take your mother and father to Butterfly Valley."
When Yao Jia heard this, she immediately stood up and looked at him in surprise, "Dad, why did you change your mind so quickly?"
Lin Congmo raised a shy smile at the corner of his lips, his eyes flickering, "You...your mother appeared in my dream when I was taking a nap."
"Entering a dream?" Yao Jia glanced at the diagram of the Floating Life Like a Dream formation on the table. She hadn't used it yet.
What a coincidence. What a coincidence.
Lin Congmo nodded, and Wan Ning seemed to have heard what he was thinking.
This afternoon, not long after Lin Congmo fell asleep, Nangong Wanning's figure quietly appeared in his dream. Her face remained the same. She smiled at him tenderly and gently stroked his face.
Just when he was immersed in the joy of seeing her, Wan Ning's face suddenly changed. She slapped him hard, and then cried and scolded him for not listening to Yaoyao.
"Do you know how I've been living these past few years? Grandpa chased me and scolded me every day, saying that I died too early and that I should hold on for a few more years and see Yaoyao's child before dying."
He was so distressed that he hugged Wan Ning in his arms, wiped her tears, and comforted her.
"Zi'an didn't protect you?"
"How can he protect us? Even my father is kneeling with us. You should think of a way to get me and Zi'an away quickly. We can't live like this."
"Don't worry, Wan Ning. When I wake up, I will discuss it with Yao Yao and ask her to move your grave."
Nangong Wanning smiled, "Remember to ask Yaoyao to bury me and Zi'an in Butterfly Valley."
"Why are you there?"
Wan Ning said that was their final destination...
After he woke up, he couldn't wait for Yao Jia to come back, so he ran to Tianxing Pavilion to find her in person, and decided to bring her mother's coffin back to Butterfly Valley to fulfill her last wish.
"Daddy, this..." Yao Jia was a little stunned. She didn't expect things to develop so quickly.
Lin Congmo interrupted her, "Stop talking about this and that, just figure out the date quickly, the sooner the better."
His heart broke when he thought of his Wan Ning being scolded by the old man.
Yao Jia did not dare to delay. After counting on her fingers, she found that the fifteenth of this month was a good day.
After hearing this, Lin Congmo immediately decided on this day.
"But Daddy, isn't this too hasty? I haven't arranged the things on hand yet, Xiu Lan and Lang Yue haven't returned yet, if I leave rashly..."
Lin Congmo stood up anxiously, "You don't have to go. The spring search, which takes place every three years, will begin in a few days. His Majesty will definitely let you go with him. Besides, this matter cannot be known to the royal family. You can stay in the capital and take care of the affairs. I will be fully responsible for the rest."
Lin Congmo vaguely felt that there would be a big change in the Nangong family, and this relocation of Wan Ning's tomb was just the beginning.
After hearing this, although Yao Jia was still a little worried, she stopped talking when she saw Lin Congmo's firm attitude.
On the fifteenth day, Yao Jia, Shuang Hua and others sent Lin Congmo and others onto Bai's private boat and announced to the public that Lin Congmo was going to travel to the south of the Yangtze River.
After returning, an imperial decree came from the palace, asking Yao Jia and Gu Xiyan to accompany the emperor to Qianchuan Paddock.
The spring sun is bright and the breeze is blowing, it is a good time to travel.
Senkawayama Hunting Ground is located fifty miles northwest of Kyoto. It has beautiful mountains and clear waters and pleasant scenery, making it an ideal place for royal hunting.
This time the emperor not only brought all the princes and princesses into the enclosure, but even the empress and several favored concubines also went together, which shows how grand this spring search was.
After Yao Jia finished presiding over the grand sacrificial ceremony, the emperor announced the start of hunting, and everyone spurred their horses and rushed into the mountains and forests.
"What do you plan to hunt today, Lord Nangong?"
The emperor had changed into comfortable casual clothes and was sitting on a high platform with the empress and several concubines. He looked at Yao Jia, who was dressed in a red riding suit and looked heroic, and asked with a smile.
Yao Jia swung the whip in his hand, winked at the emperor, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I heard that the animal trainers have thrown several rare foxes in the forest this time. I want to try my luck and see if I can hunt a very good one to make a fur hat for my Lord Bai Ping."
The emperor glanced at Bai Huahua, who was already blushing beside Yao Jia, and laughed loudly, nodding and praising: "Well, my dear Nangong is indeed a caring person. Then I wish you a successful start and immediate success."
Yao Jia bowed to express his gratitude, then took Bai Huahua and Gu Xiyan who were waiting on the side, and galloped towards the depths of the forest together with the whip on their horses.
The queen looked at the three people's backs as they walked away, her eyes flickering slightly, and with a hint of worry, she whispered to the emperor, "Your Majesty, you see how much love and affection the Pavilion Master Nangong has with her husbands. If you let her marry the hostage sent by the Liang Kingdom, it might damage the harmony between them."
Before the emperor could speak, Concubine De beside him suddenly chuckled and said slowly, "What the Empress said is very true, but Pavilion Master Nangong is a minister after all. He should put state affairs first when he has received the emperor's grace. The marriage of Liang's hostage to Daxia is a major event in the friendship between the two countries. How can it be ruined because of Pavilion Master Nangong's personal feelings? Your Majesty, do you agree or not?"
The Queen's face flashed with displeasure, and she said earnestly, "Your Majesty, I am just worried that if this matter is not handled properly, it may cause dissatisfaction from Pavilion Master Nangong, and may even affect the relationship between her and Your Majesty. Pavilion Master Nangong now holds a high status in the hearts of the people of Daxia. If she harbors a grudge because of this, it will undoubtedly be a bad thing for Daxia."
Concubine De laughed and looked at the queen provocatively, saying in a frivolous tone, "Your Majesty really flatters Nangong Jiayao. She is just the head of the Tianxing Pavilion. Looking at the vast people of Great Xia, is she the only capable person? Or does Your Majesty think that Princess Anhe is close to her and is deliberately speaking for her to win her over?"
When the queen heard this, her face darkened and she was about to refute, but was interrupted by the emperor.
"Okay, I know what's going on. Fortunately, the Liang delegation has not arrived yet. No one will mention this matter for now." The emperor looked into the distance and said in a deep voice.
The Queen and Concubine De looked at each other, and seeing that the Emperor was unhappy, they both nodded in agreement.
Concubine De stepped forward, gently stroked the emperor, and said softly, "Your Majesty, Ali and the others will be back for a while. I will accompany you to the tent to rest for a while."
The emperor's face darkened for a moment. He slightly avoided her touch and raised his hand towards Wei Wei.
Wei Yu understood and immediately stepped forward to say respectfully to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, the imperial physician has instructed that His Majesty should not be disturbed by outsiders while he is resting. Let me help His Majesty go back."
Naturally, the concubines did not dare to raise any objections and all made way.
In the forest, Yao Jia and Gu Xiyan cooperated with each other and used traps to successfully hunt a snow-white fox.
Bai Huahua loved it so much that she made a fuss and refused to let Yao Jia kill it.
"If you don't kill it, do you want to keep it? It's a fox, it's not easy to keep."
Bai Huahua didn't care and put the white fox into the cage she carried with her.
"I can keep a cat so well behaved, so I can definitely tame a fox, which is a canine."
Yao Jia looked at him helplessly, shook her head, and stopped persuading him. She and Gu Xiyan hunted a few more pheasants and rabbits, and rode towards the place they had agreed to meet with An He and Huai Chuan.
Yao Jia kept urging the two people behind her, "Hurry up, it's going to be dark soon, and I'm starving."
There were several bonfires burning in the open space not far from the lake, and different ingredients were roasted on each bonfire. The aroma was filling the air, making one's mouth water.
Huaichuan squatted beside one of the campfires, flipping the barbecue skillfully.
Hearing the sound of galloping horses from afar, he looked up with a smile in his eyes. When he saw who was coming, the smile disappeared immediately.
Unexpectedly, the people who came were Xiao Fengli and Jiang Sirong.
An He didn't seem to expect the two of them to come. She stood up from another campfire with a look of surprise on her face, and then returned to her usual pretty smile.
"Third brother's arrival really brings honor to my humble place."
Xiao Fengli handed the whip in his hand to Tianfu and walked towards Anhe.
"My little sister's mouth is getting sweeter now. What is this roasted food that smells so good?"
But when I got closer, I saw An He's guards grilling a few skewers of potatoes, eggplants and other vegetables.
He looked surprised and asked, "Why are there only vegetables? Where does the smell of meat come from?"
An He pointed in the direction of Huaichuan and asked him to look.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from afar, followed by Yao Jia's familiar silver bell-like laughter.
"...Finally found it. My mouth is watering just by the smell." Yao Jia rode over on horseback, her peach blossom eyes looking only at Huaichuan who was busy.
He dismounted, threw the whip to Gu Xiyan behind him, strode to Huaichuan, picked up the barbecue on the tray beside him and started biting it without hesitation.
"Huaichuan, your grilled meat is still so delicious." Yao Jia praised while eating, with a satisfied look on her face.
"Master, King Ping is also here." Huaichuan reminded softly, raising his hand to wipe the condiments off Yaojia's face.
