Adore Trick of Beauty

The Autumn Hunting Ceremony was officially held three days later. In front of the majestic Ancestral Temple, the emperor and empress, together with hundreds of officials, lined up in a row with a guard of honor. The sheng and drums were playing in unison, and Nie Wushuang looked at the two bright yellows in the distance among the concubine and the royal family.

Xiao Fengming was wearing a bright yellow five-clawed golden dragon robe and a twelve-spar jade crown on his head. The long pearl blocked his face. In the faint pearl light, he could only be vaguely seen in the side of his head, which looked like a knife cut. Outlined.

The queen was wearing a formal phoenix dress today, with twelve long phoenix tail skirts trailing on the ground, embroidered with exquisite pictures of phoenixes flying into the sky. After the long memorial ceremony, the emperor and empress faced the Ancestral Temple. After bowing once, bowing again, and bowing three times, the guards with golden swords on all sides blew the golden horns. The long horn sound was heavy and majestic, signaling the beginning of this year's autumn hunt.

Nie Wushuang knelt down with everyone. On the red carpet, the emperor and empress walked past each other, followed by the officials, and finally the palace maid. She lowered her head and looked at the small place in front of her where she could stand, and smiled lightly.

He is the queen's husband, and to her, he is just an emperor.

Closely related and standing side by side, the Queen will always depend on the Emperor for good or bad. And she is just a "concubine". First she is a minister, and finally she is a concubine...

…

After the Autumn Hunting Ceremony, Nie Wushuang was helped into the chariot by the palace servants, and the chariot set off. The royal guards protected the chariot and drove away to the royal pasture. Along the way, there were many canopies and bright armor. Xiao Fengming put on armor made of gold, which made people look at him under the sky.

Nie Wushuang leaned in the carriage, listening to the comments and praises of the people along the way outside, and couldn't help but smile on her red lips. It seems that Xiao Fengming is still very loved by the people. It's no wonder that the emperor was in his prime years and was quite diligent in his work. In addition, there was no war in the country, and he was light on corvee and low on gifts, so he was naturally popular among the people.

Nie Wushuang was lost in thought when someone suddenly flicked him twice on the side of the carriage. Nie Wushuang slightly lifted the curtain, only to see the handsome face of Xiao Fengqing in samurai riding attire vaguely outside the gauze curtain.

"It turns out to be His Highness Prince Rui." Nie Wushuang greeted him lukewarmly: "Isn't His Highness Prince Rui following the Holy Spirit?"

"Wei Chen is ordered to protect the carriage of the empress." Xiao Fengqing said with a smile, and his snow-white warrior uniform made him look like a god.

What he said was always half-truth and half-false. Nie Wushuang knew it was not worthy of acceptance and laughed it off. She lowered the car curtain and closed her eyes to rest. She got up too early today, so she still felt sleepy.

Xiao Fengqing had been following her on horseback. When she saw that she was ignoring him, she asked, "Are you still angry?"

"What are you angry about?" Nie Wushuang asked slowly without opening his eyes.

"I'm angry that I didn't tell you the truth." Xiao Fengqing was riding a horse and driving alongside her, and their voice was just within earshot of the two of them.

Nie Wushuang looked at the skylight dancing outside the car curtain, half-squinted her beautiful eyes and asked calmly: "What's the truth?"

"Painting." Xiao Fengqing said one word.

Nie Wushuang smiled in the carriage and said in a manly voice: "Painting? What does it have to do with truth or lies? As long as the emperor likes it, I don't care what others say."

When the car curtain was lifted, Xiao Fengqing glanced at her and saw Nie Wushuang's calm expression. She couldn't help but sneer: "You really don't care at all."

Nie Wushuang looked at his evil eyes and smiled coldly: "If I care, I won't go all the way to Yingguo with His Highness, and I won't enter the palace!"

Xiao Fengqing put down the car curtain, and Nie Wushuang only heard him say softly outside the car curtain: "Gu Qinghong is coming to Yingguo."

Nie Wushuang was holding a handkerchief. After hearing this, the long golden armor tore a hole in the handkerchief. After a long time, she sneered: "What is he here for?"

"What do you think he is here for? After autumn comes winter. Now the Qin army has the capital and patience to fight a protracted war. Gu Qinghong will definitely come. If not, Qi will be almost doomed." Xiao Fengqing's voice was low. , the sound was soft and clear through a car curtain.

An undercurrent surged in Nie Wushuang's heart, and after a long time he asked coldly: "What capital does he have to talk to the emperor?"

"Yes." Xiao Fengqing said firmly.

"What is it?" It's not like Nie Wushuang has never seen the envoys of Qi State at their wits' end. Money, beauty, covenants, and even affection could not move Xiao Fengming's heart. She knew very well what Xiao Fengming wanted. And this was simply not the price Gu Qinghong could pay for borrowing troops.

"Land, I'm afraid Gu Qinghong will persuade the Emperor of Qi to cede the land to our country in exchange for troops to resist the Qin army." Xiao Fengqing's voice came in, and Nie Wushuang couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief in her hand. After a long time, she uttered one sentence: "Don't give it up." He comes to Beijing!"

Xiao Fengqing chuckled outside through the curtain: "Do you mean..."

"Let him retreat in the face of difficulties and not enter the capital!" Nie Wushuang's face was as white as snow, and his rouged red lips opened and closed with a cold murderous intent: "Once he enters the capital, can you guarantee that the emperor will face such generous conditions? Not tempted?"

If Gu Qinghong really persuades Xiao Fengming to accept the cession of territory, what about her revenge plan? What should she do if her family is filled with blood feuds? Nie Wushuang's breathing gradually became faster, and the fierceness in her beautiful eyes grew stronger. She can't allow this to happen!

Xiao Fengqing smiled happily outside the carriage: "Don't worry, the emperor is not a person who is greedy for petty profits."

After he finished speaking, he laughed, raised his whip and ran forward. Nie Wushuang thought carefully about the words he left, and then slowly felt relieved. Yes, Xiao Fengming is not a person who is greedy for small profits. He is an emperor who looks at the world, a true emperor...

…

The royal hunting pasture is on the south side of Dongshan Mountain, close to the capital, and can be reached in one day. The mountain is surrounded by mountains, and there is a clear side in the valley

To the west of the lake is a grassland. It is late autumn at this time. Deer and rabbits can walk among the round grass, making it very easy to hunt abundant prey. To the east is a dense forest, where it is said that there are ferocious tigers, wolves, black bears, and wild boars. It is also a good place for the children of the royal family to show off their skills.

Before Nie Wushuang could sit down in her tent, Eunuch Lin came to invite her. Nie Wushuang put on simple clothes and followed Eunuch Lin to the imperial tent on the Golden Summit. It was already evening, and the hunt was scheduled for early tomorrow morning. Xiao Fengming had taken off his armor and was wearing a bright red outfit. He was chatting with several young people from aristocratic families. Nie Wushuang knew that the people of Qi were casual and not so strict about the words and deeds of their female relatives, so he stepped forward to greet them warmly.

None of the young disciples of the aristocratic families had ever seen Nie Wushuang, and they couldn't help but be stunned when they met each other. They had all heard how Nie seduced the Holy Emperor and her charming appearance. Now that they saw her, they were so beautiful that they were breathtaking, but her tone was gentle and her smile was sweet. Yan, I really can’t have any bad feeling towards her.

When several young disciples saw that Nie Wushuang had arrived, they knew that it was no longer appropriate to stay in the imperial tent for a long time, so they left one after another. Xiao Fengming saw that Nie Wushuang was wearing simple clothes and short skirts today, looking particularly fresh and pleasant. He couldn't help but hold her hand and asked her to sit next to him: "Are you tired?"

Nie Wushuang shook his head: "I am not tired, my concubine. Your Majesty has been riding for a whole day, why don't you take a rest first?"

Xiao Fengming laughed: "I once followed the late emperor on an expedition, and I was never tired even after traveling thousands of miles."

Nie Wushuang knew that he was talking about the third year of Longxi, which was the last time the emperor fought against Qi. From then on, the emperor of Ying State stopped using troops externally and concentrated on handling the political affairs of Ying State. But at that time, Empress Dowager Gao already controlled the government with one hand and the harem with the other, and her power was indestructible. This is the reason why Emperor Yingguo made no achievements in political affairs in his later years. Except for the fact that he carefully selected a successor for Yingguo, he ended up with hatred.

After the royal meal was served, Nie Wushuang and Xiao Fengming finished eating together. Xiao Fengming looked at the red clouds outside the tent that covered half of the sky. He couldn't help but feel good, and took her hand and walked out slowly. There were guards building furnaces and lighting fires all around, and roasting the dry food and bacon they had brought.

There was joy and laughter everywhere, and the guards knelt down to see Xiao Fengming. Xiao Fengming travels in casual clothes and naturally does not stand out. Sometimes when he walks among the guards who are chatting and laughing loudly, they cannot even notice him. Nie Wushuang couldn't help but smile when he saw the interesting situation in front of him.

After gradually walking away, walking out of the camp and arriving at the lake, Nie Wushuang couldn't help but marvel as he watched the sunset glow all over the sky seem to pour into this clear lake.

Her child became more cheerful and picked beautiful flowers by the lake while walking. Turning around, he suddenly looked into Xiao Fengming's smiling eyes. Nie Wushuang knew that he was carried away and couldn't help but blush slightly: "Your Majesty..."

Xiao Fengming picked a flower and put it on her temples: "You are very happy. I have never seen you so happy."

Nie Wushuang was shocked and couldn't help lowering his eyes. In the palace, her smile never came from the heart. Did he also see it?

He placed her palm in his and sighed slightly: "In the palace, it's just like that coming and going. You'll get used to it after a while."

Nie Wushuang smiled bitterly in her heart. Maybe when she got used to this kind of life, she wouldn't feel that the world outside the palace was worth her time.
