Chapter 166 Nanyuan Hunting Ground
Chapter 166 Nanyuan Hunting Ground
April 18th, at si time.
The sunlight above my head has become soft and warm, no longer as chilly as in early spring. The sky is as blue as a wash, with a few leisurely white clouds floating leisurely.
More than a dozen horse-drawn carriages rushed out from the south gate of the Northern Dynasty Palace.
In front was the military general, General Qin, leading the way, and Gu Junshen's carriage was a little behind General Qin.
On both sides of the carriage stood rows of accompanying soldiers, weapons in hand, looking majestic with every step they took.
Behind Gu Junshen's carriage was the carriage where Nan Xiang was.
The Queen has retired to a separate courtyard and has not yet been released by Gu Junshen, so she will definitely not participate in this trip.
The Queen Mother was old and had no interest in or participation in such passionate activities.
Nanxiang became the highest-ranking concubine among the participating concubines.
At this moment, the carriage she was in was extremely lively.
The two little ones sat opposite her, held by Chunyue and Caiyun respectively.
The two were very naughty. If they were not held, they would jump up and down in the carriage.
"Mother! There are so many people outside!"
Gu Yuchen glanced at the many people watching outside, and turned his head left and right with some sigh.
The two of them have never left the palace since they were born, so they must feel very novel when they come to a new place.
"Yes! These are all the people of our Northern Dynasty. Chen'er, you must treat the people well in the future!"
Nanxiang also slightly lifted the curtain of the car and glanced outside, and indeed saw many people walking on the street.
Everyone's face was filled with different expressions, and they were holding something in their hands, full of life.
Although the clothes he was wearing were not very expensive, they looked exceptionally comfortable.
The expensive dress she was wearing was not necessarily appropriate, but it was in accordance with the rules.
"I've seen so many jewels and jewelry, I feel a little sentimental now when I see the coarse linen clothes."
Nanxiang sighed softly and closed the curtain.
The carriage staggered along the way and finally stopped with a series of "whoops".
"arrive!"
"Chen'er! Xuan'er! You must remember what mother told you."
Nanxiang then spoke to the two kids with a serious face and a sharp look in her eyes.
"Chen'er knows!"
"Xuan'er knows!"
The two of them spoke in unison, their minds no longer on themselves, their eyes already looking outside.
Nanxiang smiled helplessly when she saw this. After all, they were still children, and she might have been too strict.
"Chunyue! Caiyun! You must keep a close eye on the prince and princess!"
"Don't worry, Madam! Chunyue and I will never leave each other's side."
Caiyun promised softly.
After getting off the carriage, Nanxiang felt the cool breeze brushing against her cheeks.
Finally, I saw the true appearance of Nanyuan Hunting Ground. In front of me was a huge wall with two huge dragon bodies carved on it...
Looking up, the area is extremely huge, surrounded by lush trees and green grass. From time to time, you can see a few elks running in the woods, and wild geese flying in the sky...
Nanxiang could faintly hear the sound of flowing stream.
It is rumored that Nanyuan's Yinlu Pond, Yanjing Lake, Dapaozi River, Liangshui River, Xiaolong River, Feng River and other rivers are intertwined, making the environment here lush and green and a place for biological reproduction.
Nanxiang couldn't help but feel more relaxed physically and mentally, and the depressed mood she had been feeling from living in the palace for so long also dissipated a little.
Then Gu Junshen led everyone to the palace in Nanyuan.
The palaces here are similar to the architecture of the Northern Dynasties' imperial palaces, but they are simpler and more elegant, blending in with the surrounding environment.
There are many green trees planted in the hall, and the area is much larger than expected.
If you are not careful, you may get lost.
The residence assigned to Nanxiang was the slightly larger Wenyuexuan.
She arranged for the two little ones to live in the Lanyue Pavilion next door so that they could be taken care of at any time.
Gu Junshen lived in the Chengguang Hall, which was larger and more luxuriously built, where the emperor usually reviewed memorials and discussed military affairs.
……
Afternoon, Shen time.
Nanxiang was summoned by Gu Junshen to Chengguang Hall.
As soon as I walked into the hall, I saw Gu Junshen wearing a golden military uniform.
With a faint smile.
This was the first time Nan Xiang saw Gu Junshen wearing the Northern Dynasty military uniform, and her heart couldn't help but beat a little.
It has to be said that Gu Junshen is even more eye-catching in military uniform.
The military uniform is based on the deep golden color of dragon robe, and dark golden silk threads are interwoven on the fabric to create intricate and exquisite patterns.
The collar and cuffs are inlaid with sparkling gems, each of which sparkles brightly under the sunlight.
He wore a golden helmet inlaid with emeralds and gems. The eyes in the helmet were firm and deep, and his gaze was like a torch, as if he could see through everything in the world. At this moment, he looked at her with more tenderness and love of an emperor.
Around his waist was a jade belt inlaid with gems, and beneath the belt were a pair of hands with distinct joints tightly grasping a long sword.
"My beloved concubine, do you like my outfit today?"
Gu Junshen raised his lips to a seductive smile, with a hint of ruffian in it.
Nan Xiang bowed her head helplessly and saluted: "Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, this outfit is so stunning that I can't take my eyes off it. It's so majestic!"
Nanxiang said this, and turned her head to the side involuntarily, revealing her embarrassment.
"Hahaha! As long as my beloved likes it."
"My beloved concubine, would you like to accompany me in the military review?"
Gu Junshen immediately extended an invitation.
"I won't go. I'm exhausted from all the hard work."
Nanxiang said this with some regret and immediately lowered her head.
"Since my beloved concubine is not feeling well, please go back and rest. I will visit you again tonight."
After Gu Junshen finished speaking, he walked out of Chengguang Hall with a majestic and domineering look on his face, and walked towards the parade venue surrounded by a group of soldiers.
The spring hunting will not start until tomorrow, so today is the time for Gu Junshen to review the troops as the emperor.
As a concubine in the harem, it is better for her to stay out of the public eye as much as possible, which is more in line with etiquette.
"Congratulations to your Majesty!"
After the ceremony, Nanxiang walked towards the palace where she lived.
After a while, she walked into Lanyue Pavilion.
As soon as I walked into Lanyuexuan, I saw Caiyun walking out of the dormitory with some leftover food.
"Did they both sleep?"
Nanxiang then asked.
"Your Majesty! After the prince and princess finished their meal, they felt so sleepy that they fell asleep."
Caiyun squatted down and said.
Nanxiang nodded after hearing this. It was indeed a long journey from the Northern Dynasty Palace to this villa ten kilometers away.
Even she was a little tired and sleepy at this time, not to mention the two children who were bumpy in the carriage all the way.
"One of you must stay with the prince and princess."
Nanxiang gave some instructions and walked into the hall, glancing at the two little ones.
After confirming that he was really asleep, he walked towards Wen Yuexuan next door.
At this time, Kikuhei had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
When he saw Nanxiang coming, he immediately squatted down and saluted.
"But have you found out the news?"
Nanxiang asked casually, then sat down on a chair in the hall, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
"Your Majesty! Lord Li has already gone to the parade site."
"Yes. Keep me informed if there is any situation."
She nodded slightly, having already guessed that as a military official, he had to be present at such an important event as the military parade.
