Camp in the eastern suburbs.
Li Junche is making arrangements for the martial arts competition in the next few days.
The palace eunuch suddenly arrived with the emperor's imperial edict.
At the same time, the western suburbs camp also received an imperial edict.
Murong Nie knitted his eyebrows together and asked Li Junche: "What do you mean, Your Majesty? Why do you have to compete again with the western suburbs camp after the competition in the eastern suburbs camp?"
One is the border garrison, and the other is the capital garrison. They used to keep things in check, so how could they suddenly be asked to compete.
Moreover, all civil and military officials were required to bring their relatives to the camp in the eastern suburbs to watch it, and even the emperor had to come in person.
Li Junche stared at the imperial edict written on yellow silk with black characters, "The emperor wants to use this contest to find fault with Duke Qing. If the eastern suburbs camp tramples the western suburbs camp under his feet, the emperor can logically blame him for his lack of ability. The military power of Duke Qing."
All civil and military officials were present. If military power was taken away due to lack of fighting ability, those veterans of two or three dynasties would have nothing to say.
Murong Nie sighed and felt a little ridiculous, "It's just civil and military officials. Why do women have to come too? Isn't it inappropriate to wield swords and guns in the military camp?"
Li Junche shook his head. He was not sure what Li Jingxing was thinking.
Because of Lu Mingyue's incident, Duke Qing fell ill and did not go to the western suburbs camp or go to court. When he received the news from the military camp, he felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
It is easy for others to guess the emperor's thoughts. If the western suburbs camp loses to the eastern suburbs camp, he may never have a chance to be reused again.
Duke Qing had no choice but to hold on to his illness and endure the embarrassment before rushing to the western suburbs camp to make preparations.
Just when everyone was wondering why they brought their female relatives to watch the battle, news came from the palace that the emperor was going to hold a spring hunt in May.
After the martial arts tournament, everyone went to the Royal Hunting Ground of Beidi Kingdom for a fifteen-day hunt.
Li Jingxing was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and was sitting in Princess Qinbao's bedroom. "This time, my father specially arranged for many female relatives to accompany you. Some of them are about the same age as you. The hunting ground has good weather and beautiful mountains and rivers. Let's go out for a walk to get some fresh air." "
Princess Qinbao was lying on the bed, completely covered in quilts, her voice was a little hoarse, "No, all the female relatives are going, there must be a lot of people."
Originally she was pretending to be sick and pretending to have a loss of appetite, but she ended up taking a cold shower and contracting the cold. Now her voice is really hoarse.
The emperor stretched out his hand to pull the quilt, pulled it down a little, and could only see Princess Qinbao's eyes up to her forehead, "The imperial doctor said, you were too energetic before, suddenly quieted down, your body can't adapt, and asked you to go to the imperial garden for a walk If you don’t want to leave, how can you get better?”
I got sick from being suffocated in the house all day.
Princess Qinbao opened her eyes and stared at the emperor, "Then tell those people on the list not to participate in the spring hunting."
The emperor stroked his forehead and said, "Those are the second-rank and above officials of the imperial court. It would be inappropriate not to go. You will stay with your father and make sure no one looks at you. Princess Che will also come over. Didn't you enjoy playing with her?"
Princess Qinbao turned her back to the emperor, "I'll think about it."
The emperor covered him with the quilt and said, "You have a good rest. There are still five days until the martial arts tournament. Use this time to cure the cold."
Li Jingxing really cared about this daughter. The energetic little cotton-padded jacket suddenly turned into a sickly little mushroom. He really couldn't adapt to it and felt distressed.
The queen waited outside, and when she saw the emperor coming out, she quickly asked, "Your Majesty, has Bao'er agreed?"
Li Jingxing rolled his eyes at the queen, looking at her blue eyes he didn't want to scold anymore, "It's almost like Qinbao will agree. You ask the imperial doctor to come and take a closer look. Don't drag the sick body out to play, otherwise she won't Have fun."
The queen knelt down and responded, "Yes."
When Wen Jinhe learned about this, he was very interested. Isn't this just a spring outing?
There are still five days left for the tournament, but they will set up camp near the eastern suburbs camp one day in advance, which is when the Queen of the West will set off.
Wen Jinhe couldn't wait to think about what to bring. He turned to Man Dong and told Man Dong, "Go tell Dr. Zhou and Hong An and ask them to follow."
The sources of the poisons developed by Hong'an are all poisons captured from deep mountains and old forests.
He clamored to go into the mountain by himself more than ten days ago, but Doctor Zhou stopped him.
No matter how talented this child is, he is only ten years old and has no one to follow him. What if something goes wrong?
This spring hunt is just the opportunity.
Man Qiu: "Princess, recently businessmen from Linyue Kingdom and Shopkeeper Sun have been in contact. There are also people in the farm asking about sweet potatoes and corn."
Wen Jinhe put down the things in his hands, thought for a moment and said: "Let the eight imperial merchants agree to those merchants, but the price of all the things sold to them will increase by 20%25. Let the farm side be more careful, the seeds in the hands of the people have already been planted. Even if the fields are dug out, it will be useless. They think that the princess will have excess on her hands. "
Naturally, Linyue Kingdom also took a fancy to such high-yielding crops as sweet potatoes and corn.
Wen Jinhe never thought of guarding Linyue Kingdom, and he couldn't.
She just wanted to drag it out for a year and a half to widen the gap between the two countries.
On the day we set out for the eastern suburbs camp, Wen Jinhe got up at half past midnight.
The reason is that everyone has to wait outside the Xuanwu Gate of the palace and set off with the emperor's chariot.
The carriage stopped outside Xuanwu Gate, and Wen Jinhe was still dozing in the carriage.
After a while, Man Qiu opened the curtain and woke the person up, "Princess, the Emperor is coming soon."
The carriages of Prince Heng's Palace and Prince Che's Palace followed behind the carriages of the concubines in the harem.
This time during the spring hunting in May, Li Jingxing only took Concubine Wei with him, and even the queen was left in the palace by him.
Princess Qinbao finally agreed to Li Jingxing, but she would not attend the martial arts competition. She would be there during the spring hunting. She thought that the sequelae of the Lu Mingyue incident should be preserved for a while, otherwise the queen and Li Yuheng would not give up.
Considering that Princess Qinbao had not fully recovered from the cold, the emperor simply asked her to set off two days later and arrive at the royal hunting ground first.
Wen Jinhe rubbed his eyes and stood next to the carriage. Li Junche dismounted and stood beside her.
Although there are many people around, it is very quiet.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, the emperor raised his head and rode a jet black pegasus in front of the team with his face glowing red.
Behind the emperor's carriage was Concubine Wei's carriage.
Wen Jinhe raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked in a low voice: "This Concubine Wei looks very young?"
Since the third prince Li Zhilin was demoted to a commoner, the most favored concubine Zhang Guifei in the harem, Li Zhilin's biological mother, fell out of favor and was demoted to Changli. This concubine Wei was raised by the emperor after Zhang Guifei fell out of favor.
Most of the concubines in Li Jingxing's harem had no heirs, and Concubine Wei was no exception.
Li Junche lowered his head slightly, "Concubine Wei entered the palace through a draft two years ago. She is probably about twenty years old now."
Wen Jinhe looked at the emperor's white hair. Li Jingxing was nearly sixty years old, and this concubine was only twenty years old. She was an old cow who had eaten young grass to the extreme and wasted all natural resources.
The emperor did not ride the horse for long before he got into his carriage.
As he got older, he was just showing off his power in the city to let the people admire his imperial power, but how could he really ride a horse?
