These premises, the sky is so bright it brings a sweet breeze. The sun shone warmly on the luxury car troupe. Tens of nearly hundreds of soldiers lined up gallantly guarding, signaling figures important to the country were traveling.
Today was the day of their departure from the capital to the hunting grounds, the main road had to be blocked for the common people, the shops and shops along the road had to be closed. A large flag with a yellow dragon emblem spread fluttered above, from the side of the road to the other. The procession of the entourage was arranged according to the rank of nobility, the ministers following behind the entourage of the imperial family.
This time, all the resources were carefully deployed. The change in hunting regulations welcoming autumn this time is huge. Because the hunt this time was specifically for the Imperial Roosters.
The entire hunting area was divided into six entrances. Each prince could only bring five followers. Enter separately. It was for the sake of wanting to see the princes compete fairly.
At this time, the Emperor brought the high-ranked concubines and the Empress with him. And one thing was different from the plan, which was that the Crown Prince volunteered to stay in the palace on the grounds of managing court affairs when everyone took part in the hunt.
"Shang meimei's. Didn't you see Huangjie's murky face?" Wei Guifei said this with a slight smile at Shang Shufei.
Hearing that, Shang Shufei bent the fan in front of his face with an elegant gesture, he smiled deeply and replied: "It's only natural that Huangjie worries about our Crown Prince. If it was me, I would be worried about not being able to eat or sleep well when my son would miss such a good opportunity to find a wife and add support."
The corner of Wei Guifei's mouth was tilted, without even looking at it it was very clear that his face was giving off a trace of disdain as he displayed a mocking smile.
"Fufu.., it was Shang meimei who was deep-minded." Wei Guifei laughed sharply.
On the surface they seemed to get along, and spoke as if they were worried about the Empress who was in another carriage with the Emperor.
But, in fact they were watching and scraping information from each other. In the minds of the two women, they were wondering what made the Crown Prince personally ask the Emperor for permission to stay in the palace instead of choosing to get a commensurate wife who could replace the current Crown Princess. There's no way the Crown Prince changed his mind because he loves his wife surnamed Rui so much, right?
Inside the carriage with golden carvings stood out, the couple who had been living a life together for almost a quarter of a century were silent.
They don't talk to each other like they're so foreign. The silence was so heavy. The fact is that along the way the Empress put on a blackened face and the Emperor was so caught off guard that he did not quite understand his wife.
"Look at you, the forest will dry up when you come." The Emperor spoke cynically, issuing insinuations.
"It's good if it's true, it means I'm a descendant of the God of Destruction." The empress' timpal was no less sharp, she turned her head and smiled wryly.
The Emperor sighed harshly, he looked at the Empress coldly. "You're too involved in organizing your son's life. The firstborn is so dependent and the youngest becomes spoiled as well as useless, it's all your own work. Don't blame me if they can't keep their position in a bloody palace." His words are so cruel.
Hearing that warning-filled sentence, the Empress's entire body trembled with a flurry of anger. He clenched his fingers, his eyes reddened. Taking a deep breath tried to calm herself down, but her voice still trembled as she said: "My years of loving and caring for them alone when you were so busy. Oh, of course, this is not a complaint. But at least show good words because they both also remain your sons—even though you have the others but I only have them as mother and son." The cynic.
Since yesterday the emotions of the Empress were so played out. Her daughter-in-law, Rui Minglan, suddenly had great courage for grasping a weapon to threaten her and her son's standing. The woman boldly said that if she was removed from the position of Crown Princess, she would drag them along with her to hell.
That made the Crown Prince who was supposed to enter the hunting competition to get his successor also choose to withdraw.
Clearly it made the Empress very angry, she became even more ambitious to eliminate Rui Minglan who held evidence of the weakness of her Gao Family.
Now he was only betting on Shen Wanqi in the hunting event.

The hand of Xiao Rou holding the fan continued to move, she spoke calmly as she fanned Xiu Qixuan who was closing her eyes lying on the cushion of the carriage seat.
At this moment, there were only the two of them inside the carriage while Chao momo was in front with the coachman.
Without opening both of his eyes, Xiu Qixuan's lips moved slowly in response: "That's better when they speak ill of me." His word.
"Eum..it seems like it's just some bad ones because the rest is a compliment to your sharpness." There was a slight pause when Xiao Rou thought for a moment to mutter.
Xiu Qixuan only snorted back.
Recalling something, Xiao Rou's hand reflexively stopped fanning Xiu Qixuan. "Oh yeahampun.., I almost forgot!" The screech. He reached into his shirt pocket and took out a piece of letter sealed in a black candle. "The second young master has tried to contact you several times but has not received an answer. This time he told me to deliver his letter and words. 'Foolish sister, acting recklessly also has its limits! I believe you can handle it but you turned out to be so stupid that you could be snared! Answer my voice call at the bells!' so said the second young master." Xiao Rou imitated Xiu Huanran's nagging, obnoxious style of speech.
"Save it, you're bothering me to think!" Xiu Qixuan responded flatly. The wrinkles on his forehead were so deep yet his eyes were still closed.
Xiao Rou nodded and kept the letter back. However, he was silent for quite a while with a doubtful expression staring at Xiu Qixuan. "Miss..." Call her.
Xiu Qixuan cleared her throat.
"I hope you don't marry one of the princes." Said Xiao Rou with a faint tremble.
Xiu Qixuan opened her eyes, she turned her head while glaring. "You're funny, Xiao Rou." The reply chuckled sharply. "Aren't you the one who's always excited when it comes to marriage for me." Added.
Xiao Rou smiled blandly, "Yes. I just want you to be happily married." He muttered like a whisper.
