Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless
Chapter 73 Picking Flowers
Emperor Shenwu led his group to a waterfall and a mountain stream, and ordered everyone to dismount and rest. Immediately, an attendant washed a silk handkerchief and presented it to the Emperor. The Emperor cleaned it again, and looking around, he couldn't help but say to himself, "The scenery is quite good."
Princess Shuixia stepped forward and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your care along the way. My uncle specifically instructed me to express my sincere gratitude to Your Majesty."
Emperor Shenwu threw the handkerchief aside and said, "Princess Shuixia can't go hunting, but it's nice to see the scenery of Qiling Mountain. The guards have already explored the area, so you can enjoy yourself."
After saying this, he was about to leave. Princess Shuixia was about to speak when the sound of horse hooves came from a distance. Emperor Shenwu looked over and saw Princess Yunqi returning with a few attendants. Before she even got close, she called out, "Brother Yun, Brother Yun."
Princess Shuixia was surprised for a moment, then looked up at His Majesty Dasheng, only to see that His Majesty had no expression on his face, and was looking calmly at Princess Yunqi who was riding her horse forward.
Princess Yunqi jumped off her horse and ran to Emperor Shenwu: "Brother Yun, it's me. We met back then. It's all my fault that you didn't let me talk to you. I knew Brother Yun back then..."
Emperor Shenwu interrupted her coldly: "I don't remember what happened a few years ago. Besides, I am now the Emperor of Dasheng."
After saying this, he turned and walked away. Seeing this, Qian Hui quickly arranged for the guards to guard the emperor's side. Dasheng's rules were very strict regarding women. Bringing the two princesses to hunt was also because he wanted to show his hospitality. Even if they would later enter the Dasheng harem, it would be inappropriate for His Majesty to get too close to them at this time. And His Majesty always attached great importance to rules.
Princess Yunqi stared blankly at the emperor walking away, saying, "It's all my brother's fault. I wish I had known Brother Yun earlier."
Princess Shuixia knew that the Da Sheng Dynasty had very strict rules for women, and she was not in a hurry to get close to His Majesty the Da Sheng. She looked at Princess Yunqi with contempt and walked to the other side.
Only Princess Yunqi refused to go far and kept lingering around Emperor Shenwu.
Emperor Shenwu was looking up at a mountain wall. He saw that the stone wall was uneven and the edges were messy and protruding. However, on the stone wall more than ten meters above the ground, a bright red flower grew out of the cracks in the stone. People who practiced martial arts had agile facial features and sharp eyes. Emperor Shenwu saw at a glance that the flower was growing alone on the stone wall, and the petals stretched out as big as a porcelain plate, gorgeous and swaying.
Emperor Shenwu looked at the stone wall for a while, and suddenly jumped up. He stepped on the protrusions of the stone wall from time to time and continued to leap upwards.
Princess Yunqi was stunned. Princess Shuixia also noticed this scene and led her maid to watch closer.
Emperor Shenwu finally picked the gorgeous flower from the stone wall. He quickly reached out and broke the flower stem. Then he used the protrusions of the stone wall to lightly and spun down from the more than ten-meter-high mountain wall like returning wind and flowing snow.
Emperor Shenwu landed gracefully, holding a gorgeous red flower. He lifted the flower stem and sniffed it gently, "This flower is very beautiful, worthy of being with me."
Then the Emperor handed the flower to his attendant and said, "Send it to my imperial camp in good condition and give it to Li Xiang to raise."
The attendant responded, carefully taking the beautiful flowers picked by the emperor himself, and walked out.
Princess Shuixia's heart was pounding and her cheeks were hot. If His Majesty Dasheng's tiger hunting showed masculinity and ability, then His Majesty personally picking flowers and giving them to the beautiful girl touched her girlish heart even more. She knew that she was a princess of a small country presented to the emperor, and she had warned herself not to give her true heart, but in front of such an outstanding Emperor Dasheng, her heart was still inadvertently moved.
Princess Yunqi's eyes were already obsessed. She stared blankly at the emperor's profile. When the guard holding the flower passed by her, she stared fixedly at the unique and gorgeous flower on the stone wall.
Lan Qingwu took a short nap in the afternoon. Ruhan was dressing her when Qiulan entered the tent from outside. She bowed and said, "My lady, His Majesty left a message before leaving this morning, asking you to accompany him to the imperial camp this afternoon."
Lan Qingwu was slightly surprised: "But His Majesty hasn't come back yet?"
Qiulan bowed again: "Your Majesty may have asked you to wait in the imperial camp so that you can see me as soon as Your Majesty returns."
Lan Qingwu nodded and told Ruhan: "Please help me dress up."
Lan Qingwu waited in the imperial camp until it was slightly dark, and then she heard some movement outside the camp, but she did not wait for the emperor.
Emperor Shenwu held a banquet outside the imperial camp. Men and women sat at separate tables. Important ministers and confidants, people from the six countries, Concubine Jiang, Concubine Chen and others were all present. Among them, Princess Yunqi and Princess Shuixia were arranged to sit with the concubines.
Lan Qingwu listened to the clinking of glasses, toasts and laughter outside, and could only hold up his chin in boredom and continue waiting.
A moment later, Qiulan entered the imperial camp, carrying a meal tray in both hands. "Master, His Majesty has specially ordered a meal to be prepared for you."
Qiulan placed the food in her hands on the dining table one by one. Lan Qingwu took a look and said: "Qiulan, there are not so many rules outside. I can't finish all this. Please sit down and eat with us."
Qiulan's round face broke into a smile: "Master, you have used it, Qiulan will use it again, thank you Master!"
Lan Qingwu didn't force it. Not long after the meal, Qiulan helped Lan Qingwu wash and dress. Lan Qingwu got on the bed in a thin gauze and knelt at the foot of the bed. Qiulan had quietly left.
The Imperial Camp was completely silent, but the sounds outside were becoming increasingly clear. Princess Shuixia began to sing, her voice soft and tender. When the song ended, Concubine Jiang's voice rang out: "The princess truly has a voice of nature!"
Emperor Shenwu also said: "Reward!"
Lan Qingwu heard Prince Aguzhen's voice of thanks.
Lan Qingwu knelt quietly, his slender white fingers unconsciously scratching the bed. The emperor must be ready to accept two princesses. As an emperor, this is natural. Yun Heng has all the thoughts of an emperor and the traditions of this dynasty. He must think that as long as he is not neglected, it doesn't matter how many new people he accepts.
Tears unexpectedly fell onto the bed. Lan Qingwu quickly raised his head. He really thought that he had gotten used to it. He really should learn from Concubine Jiang outside.
Qiulan walked in again. There was a gauze curtain outside the dragon bed. Qiulan replied softly from outside the gauze curtain: "Master, Eunuch Li has conveyed the emperor's oral instructions, asking you to rest first. There is no need to wait."
Lan Qingwu looked outside: "Okay, I understand."
Qiulan retreated quietly again.
Lan Qingwu lay on his side, curled up slightly, the sounds from outside occasionally reaching his ears. Soon, Concubine Jiang led the concubines to take their leave, and only the people from the six kingdoms and their trusted ministers gradually left. Lan Qingwu also closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Outside the Imperial Camp, Princess Yunqi seemed drunk: "Brother Yun, do you know why I changed my title?"
Prince Tuoyan was unable to stop her, as Princess Yunqi had already shouted to the emperor, "A few years ago, when I met Brother Yun at the border, I swore to follow you. Later, I begged my father to change my title to Yunqi. It was all because of you, Brother Yun!"
The banquet was silent, with some ministers quietly looking back and forth between the emperor and Princess Yunqi. Prince Ding couldn't help but sigh that the women of small countries were really... bold?
