The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

It rains a lot in the spring, and the rain continues. Fortunately, the weather was good on March 18th, the day of the spring hunt.

Spring hunting, also known as "spring hunting," involves searching for and hunting non-pregnant wild animals in spring. This is because spring is the breeding season, and young animals and pregnant animals must not be harmed.

Just after the hour of Mao, a large group of people set out from the imperial city to the Spring Hunting Pass. The duration of this spring hunting was set to be five days, just like in previous years.

The emperor's carriage was at the front, and outside were lined up with the Imperial Guards to protect the emperor's safety, as well as twenty first-class guards and secret guards.

The concubines who accompanied the emperor followed behind his carriage, with a large number of imperial guards in between, protecting the emperor's carriage like a solid wall to ensure the emperor's absolute safety.

The imperial concubine did not participate in the spring hunt because she was still under house arrest, so the queen selected ten other concubines to go.

Following the imperial concubine's motorcade were court officials, except Shen Leyan's father, who did not follow. In the emperor's absence, only the prime minister could handle trivial matters in the court. Major matters that the prime minister could not decide were submitted to the emperor for handling.

Before leaving, Shen's father specifically told Shen Lebai to take good care of his sister. Shen Hongan had always disapproved of Shen Leyan's participation in the hunt. In his opinion, he would not bear to let his precious daughter suffer such hardship as having to camp in a remote place for several days.

Shen Leyan had previously thought that she didn't know how to ride a horse and there would be no fun in going, so she followed her father's arrangement.

The reason she participated in the spring hunt this time was, firstly, to take this opportunity to meet General Xiaobai and explain things clearly, and secondly, to help her brother with his relationship with Miss Shangguan... But as luck would have it, she heard after she set out that Miss Shangguan had unfortunately caught a cold and could not participate in the spring hunt.

Shen Leyan leaned out of the car window and looked at the scenery outside and the endless convoy behind her. It turned out that the spring hunt was so lively.

Just then, Shen Lebai came over on horseback and walked to the window. "I have to go to the front and follow the court officials. Don't run around when you get there. I'll come back to find you when I'm done and take you to experience horseback riding."

Shen Leyan's eyes curved: "Don't worry, brother, I'll wait for you to come back."

Shen Lebai nodded and rode away. Outside, his sister was always well-behaved and sensible, well-educated and well-mannered, which made him feel very relieved.

After seeing her brother leave, Shen Leyan asked Zhiyue to close the car window. After sitting for a while, she felt sleepy and fell asleep.

Shen Leyan was woken up before dawn today. After washing and getting ready, it was not yet the hour of Yin when she waited at the city gate. So she slept until she was about to get off the bus when Zhiyue woke her up.

After walking for most of the day, the team finally arrived at Chunshou Pass and set up camp.

After getting off the car, Shen Leyan was pleasantly surprised to see the rows of tents in front of her. Although they did not have a spacious and comfortable courtyard, they were not like the desolate mountains and wilderness her father had described. At least there was a large peach forest outside, and the scenery was pleasant.

The first day was busy with the journey. After arriving at the destination, everyone rested in their respective tents and got enough energy to prepare for tomorrow's activities.

Shen Leyan was also resting in the tent. She had slept all the way and was now feeling refreshed. She had originally wanted to go to the peach forest first, but she remembered Shen Lebai's promise before he left that he would come back later to take her horseback riding, so she stayed in the tent.

I had nothing to do, so I changed into my riding clothes thinking I would go horseback riding soon.

This was carefully prepared by Shen's mother after she heard that Shen Leyan was going to participate in the spring hunt.

The bright red riding coat was embroidered with delicate butterfly patterns in silver thread, and even the moon-white lining was embroidered with interwoven patterns. The white jade belt wrapped around her waist made her waist look even slimmer.

It was the first time for Shen Leyan to wear riding clothes, and she felt very fresh. She sat aside and let Caiyue dress her up. Zhiyue, who was standing beside her, also thought that the young lady looked particularly beautiful in the riding clothes carefully prepared by the lady.

Shen Leyan rarely wears such bright colors on weekdays, and suddenly she looks warm and bright in a red dress.

Caiyue tied Shen Leyan's hair up high. Instead of fixing it with a hairpin, she tied it with a red ribbon of the same color as her clothes, adding a bit of heroic spirit that was not usually there.

Just as Shen Leyan finished, her brother Shen Lebai came over. She stood up, turned around in front of her brother, and said with a smile, "How is it? This is something my mother prepared specially for me."

Although Shen Lebai had always known that his sister was beautiful, he was still stunned by the girl in front of him.

Seeing her brother stunned for a long time, Shen Leyan couldn't help but waved her hands in front of his eyes a few times, with a proud face: "This is all innate. Who told me to inherit the true teachings of father and mother?" After saying this, she waved her hands.

Shen Lebai expressed great contempt for his own behavior just now. He was not a person who cared about appearance. It was superficial! He deliberately rubbed Shen Leyan's head and left the tent before she got angry.

The maids were stifling laughter as they watched the young master leave. Caiyue was just about to go forward to help the young lady tidy up her hair, but she saw Shen Leyan just casually wipe it twice and followed her out of the tent.

When Caiyue chased after them, they had already gone far away, so she gave up, thinking that the young master would probably remind the young lady.

Of course Shen Lebai would not remind her. In his opinion, it didn't have much impact. His sister was still so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her. It was just that this beauty-loving sister always paid great attention to her image outside, so this was a good opportunity to make her depressed.

The racecourse was already very busy at this time.

After bringing Shen Leyan to the horse farm, Shen Lebai specially selected a docile pony for her, thinking of taking Shen Leyan for a walk around the horse farm twice first, and then letting her ride it twice by herself.

However, imagination is beautiful, and the reality is that Shen Leyan can't even get on a horse, and she doesn't even dare to get on a horse...

The most important reason why Shen Leyan can’t ride a horse is that she is afraid of falling.

After Shen Lebai’s patience ran out after trying to persuade her, he forcibly carried Shen Leyan onto the horse.

This scene was also seen by Emperor Yong'an who happened to walk into the horse farm, and his face darkened.

Bao Shun on the side quickly explained that it was Shen Lebai, the eldest son of the Shen family.

I thought: Our emperor rushed here as soon as he heard the news that Miss Shen was at the horse farm. I hope he doesn’t get angry and go back, otherwise they will suffer as well.

Emperor Yong'an still felt it was an eyesore, even if it was his biological brother...

When everyone at the horse farm saw the emperor coming, they all stopped and knelt to salute him.

Shen Leyan was no longer so scared after finally getting on the horse, so she had to get off again and salute the emperor.

"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor."

"No courtesy, stay on your own."

After everyone stood up, they saw the emperor, wearing a dark green brocade robe embroidered with black and gold pythons and a purple and gold crown inlaid with rubies, walking towards the Shen brothers and sisters...

Shen Leyan was quite far away from the door, and she looked in from afar quietly. She felt that the emperor, who was not wearing the dragon robe today, seemed to have lost some of his majesty and gained some more nobility, and his appearance was elegant and graceful.

Looking at the black figure getting closer and closer, Shen Leyan also felt more and more nervous.

Until Emperor Yong'an stood completely in front of her, she felt that breathing became difficult.

Shen Lebai, who was standing by, was also confused, so he had to pull Shen Leyan to salute and greet the emperor again.
