Wearing a book, hooking him up

When they arrived at Chunshou Pass, some people who had been arranged in advance had already arrived at Chunshou Pass earlier than them and had already set up camp.

The tents for the emperor and his concubines have been set up, while those for others are still being set up.

When Su Jingyao and other palace concubines arrived, they went directly into the corresponding tents.

The locations of the tents were related to the status of the concubines, and Su Jingyao's tent was naturally the one closest to Jun Zechen.

After two hours of bumpy ride in the carriage, I was already exhausted.

After Su Jingyao entered the tent, she asked Miaoxia to help her wash up simply, and then she lay down to rest.

With a slightly tired look on his face, he gently closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

As an emperor, Jun Zechen naturally couldn't rest at this time.

In addition to a place for him to rest, he also had a larger tent specifically for summoning ministers.

After getting off the carriage, Jun Zechen went to the big tent and began to arrange various matters.

Time passed quietly, and when everything was arranged, night had already fallen.

Jun Zechen sat upright on the dragon chair, rubbing his brow gently with one hand, seeming a little tired.

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he said, "Fuquan, go and bring Su Jingxuan over."

"Yes, your majesty," Fuquan responded quickly, then quickly stepped aside to deliver the summons.

When Su Jingxuan entered the tent, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Why did His Majesty suddenly summon me?

Although his sister is now the Imperial Noble Consort, Su Jingxuan does not want her to be too involved with the court.

"Your Majesty, I am your humble servant." Su Jingxuan knelt down and saluted respectfully.

"Get up." Jun Zechen raised his hand slightly to signal.

"I summoned you here today. Actually, it's not a big deal. But I heard that when the Imperial Concubine was still in the boudoir, you, as her brother, gave her a lot of things, and the Imperial Concubine liked those things very much."

Jun Zechen looked at Su Jingxuan with deep eyes. He knew that the gift was the Hetian jade Go set.

Although Su Jingxuan was a little confused, he still answered honestly: "Yes, I used to prepare gifts for the Imperial Concubine on various festivals and her birthday every year."

"I heard that you also gave some pets to the Imperial Concubine. These days, I am hunting at Chunxiu Pass, and I also want to hunt one for the Imperial Concubine. What do you think about this, my dear?"

Jun Zechen asked seemingly casually, but his eyes were fixed on Su Jingxuan.

"Your Majesty, you can't do that. The animals in Chunshou Pass are all wild. The Imperial Concubine likes docile and pretty animals. I'm afraid these prey in Chunshou Pass will not please the Imperial Concubine."

Su Jingxuan frowned and said seriously.

After Jun Zechen heard Su Jingxuan's answer, his guess was indeed realized.

Su Jingxuan just wanted to please his sister, so he brought a docile and beautiful rabbit back as a gift to her.

"I heard from the Imperial Concubine that you brought back a white angora rabbit for her during the spring hunt?" Jun Zechen asked again slowly.

When Su Jingxuan heard this, he was shocked. He thought his sister might want His Majesty to give her a white Angora rabbit as well.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine rarely goes out when she is at home. She always envies me for being able to go out and ride horses and shoot arrows. So during the spring hunting, I bought a docile and beautiful rabbit for her when I returned in order to make her happy."

Su Jingxuan answered respectfully, with a very sincere expression on his face.

"Forget it. It's almost time for dinner, and the Imperial Concubine should have rested enough by now. Fuquan, take Su Aiqing to the Imperial Concubine's tent. I'm sure the Imperial Concubine must miss Su Aiqing very much." Jun Zechen waved his hand and said.

When Su Jingxuan heard this, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

He hasn't seen his sister for a long time!

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Jingxuan quickly knelt down to express his gratitude.

Jun Zechen then slowly said: "But you should also know what to say to the Imperial Concubine."

There was a subtle hint of meaning in his eyes.

"Wei Chen understands."

Su Jingxuan was not a fool, so he naturally understood that there were no white angora rabbits in Chunshou Pass. So he went to see his sister to dissuade her from this idea.

It’s not that Your Majesty cannot hunt, but it’s true that it is not here.

Jun Zechen nodded with satisfaction, "Go ahead."

The white angora rabbit that Yaoyao liked was not available at Chunshouguan, but there was everything in the imperial palace's zoo. She could just ask someone to send one to her when she returned to the palace.

Under the guidance of Fuquan, Su Jingxuan passed through the guards guarding outside the palace concubine's tent and arrived at the imperial concubine's tent.

At this time, Su Jingyao had already woken up and finished dressing up, and was preparing to have dinner with Jun Zechen later.

Miaoyun walked in briskly with a happy look on her face, and said in a voice full of joy: "Master, the young master is here."

After Su Jingyao heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She had deliberately mentioned the rabbit matter to Jun Zechen in the carriage today, but in her heart she was not sure that Jun Zechen would let her brother come to see her.

"Let brother in quickly." Su Jingyao said hurriedly, with a hint of urgency in her voice.

When Su Jingxuan came in, he still bowed respectfully. After all, his sister was now the imperial concubine, and etiquette could not be abolished.

He lowered his head and said in a steady voice: "Your humble servant greets the Imperial Concubine. May the Imperial Concubine be well and safe."

Su Jingyao hurried forward, stretched out her hands to help him up, with a gentle smile on her face.

"Brother, there's no need for us to be so polite."

After Su Jingxuan stood up, he looked at his sister lovingly.

I haven't seen my sister for more than a year. She has become more beautiful. She is less immature and more charming.

No wonder His Majesty likes her so much, his sister is indeed worthy of it.

A gratified smile unconsciously appeared on Su Jingxuan's face, and his eyes were full of love and pride for his sister.

"My sister is now the Imperial Consort, so she must be properly treated with the proper etiquette."

Then, he said in a joking tone, "Sister, did you ask His Majesty to give you a rabbit today on purpose?"

"Brother, you're still teasing me. I didn't do that to see you."

"Now that I am in the harem, I don't know your Majesty's attitude towards my brother, nor do I know your Majesty's attitude towards the Su family. I have never asked your Majesty directly about these things."

"Brother is also here during the Spring Hunt this time. I can only think of a way to get His Majesty to take the initiative to arrange for him to meet with brother."

Su Jingxuan nodded slightly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"It's right for my sister not to participate in government affairs. His Majesty treats the Su family very well in the court, and there is my sister in the harem. Many court officials come to curry favor with my father."

"But now that our Su family is so powerful, we naturally won't form cliques in the court. Some ministers who have a good relationship with my father don't interact with him openly."

"When my sister becomes the queen, the Su family will take care of itself and will never let Your Majesty feel fearful."

When he said this, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

Then he chuckled again, "Your Majesty has an iron-blooded policy when it comes to handling state affairs. Even Dad can't fully guess what His Majesty is thinking. Dad and I both want my sister not to mention state affairs in front of His Majesty for now."

"Now, His Majesty is very kind to the Su family for my sister's sake."

A trace of memory flashed across Su Jingxuan's face. When his sister had not yet married into the Eastern Palace, His Majesty, who was still the Crown Prince at the time, often suppressed the Su family in the court.

But he and his father didn't tell his sister about this.

Although her brother said this, Su Jingyao still had a hint of worry on her face.

"But my brother has been in the Imperial Academy for three years now, and His Majesty hasn't arranged any practical work for you. I'm a little worried."

She was not clear about the complicated affairs of the court, and the various networks of relationships among court officials were also vague.

Being in the harem, she couldn't talk too much about these things with her father in letters, so she was indeed quite isolated from the news.

"Don't worry about me, sister."

Su Jingxuan comforted her with a smile, his eyes revealing confidence.

"I can make a lot of friends in the Hanlin Academy, and these are the connections I will have when I enter the imperial court."

"With my father and sister, your brother's future will definitely not be bad."

"It's just that it's hard for my father and I to guess what His Majesty is thinking. Since His Majesty has asked me to stay in the Imperial Academy, I will naturally stay there well."

After all, for the emperor, the talent of his ministers may be one of the reasons why he is valued by the emperor, but the most important point is loyalty. Su Jingxuan knows this very well, and he will naturally try his best to let His Majesty see his loyalty.

Su Jingyao breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Jun Zechen would suppress her brother because of her father's power and her high status in the harem.

After all, emperors are afraid of external relatives interfering in politics.
