The night is dark.
In the open space of the hunting camp, countless bonfires several feet high would be set up at night. The boys, girls and foreigners in Xijing City would gather around and sit in front of the bonfires and have friendly conversations.
The ministers and their families will also organize their own activities. Although they are under Yan Xiu's nose, they are not restricted much.
There was music and singing not far away, mixed with laughter and laughter. In comparison, Yan Xiu's camp seemed quiet and lonely. The bustling sound reached his camp, and he sat in front of the case and read a book without any distractions.
With the dual blessing of candlelight and luminous pearls, the light in the tent is as bright as day.
That night, Yan Xiu let Zhu Sijia stay in his tent.
Until the end of the autumn hunt.
The reason is that there is no need to go to war and build another tent for Zhu Sijia.
This meant that she had to live and eat with a man who was almost a stranger during this period.
Zhu Scarlett was bathing in the tub separated by a screen from him, with the sound of dripping water.
Yan Xiu's movements in turning the pages of the book also became larger.
She changed her clothes and walked out slowly. Yan Xiu was still reading without being affected by anything.
"Your Majesty." Zhu Sijia knelt down beside him and spoke in a low voice, "I still have many personal belongings left in the palace tent. I would like to go back and get them."
At the moment, apart from the simple palace outfit she was wearing, and the gorgeous outfit she wore last night, Zhu Scarlett really didn't have anything to change.
After all, no one would have thought that one Qiu Lie could give Yan Xiu an extra concubine, so naturally they were not fully prepared for this.
Yan Xiu put down the book and raised his eyelids to look at her briefly: "Well, let Aunt Duan bring a few maids to accompany you."
Wish Scarlett blessing to him and walk out of the tent.
She changed into a light pink curved skirt, and her slender waist was made more exquisite by the three-finger-wide white belt on her waist. She moved her steps casually, and her back was swaying.
Yan Xiu's eyes became more intense, he simply turned the book upside down on the table and closed his eyes lightly.
…
Prince Yan's Mansion has a close relationship with the royal family, and the camp is set up not far from the royal camp.
During this autumn hunting, King Yan lived alone, his aunt and daughter-in-law lived in the same tent with Zhu Siyi, several young masters in the family lived in the same tent, and Zhu Sijia and the remaining concubines crowded into a small tent.
In addition to her and her sister, Prince Yan's residence also had two other concubines, two concubines.
On the way from the Emperor's tent to the Yanwang Mansion tent, they would pass by a bonfire. The boys and girls sitting around the bonfire looked familiar to Zhu Scarlett, but she couldn't identify their specific identities.
Seeing her passing by, they stopped noisy, stood up one after another, and bowed respectfully to Zhu Sijia.
Zhu Sijia responded with a nod like a dragonfly and continued to move forward.
After she walked away, the group of peers sat down in confusion and whispered:
"His Majesty seems to really like her. The imperial edict and those wedding candies were read and distributed from door to door."
"In the past, she rarely appeared at various banquets in the capital. When I saw her today, I was really shocked. She is even more beautiful than the legitimate daughter of King Yan."
"Shh, keep your voice down! Do you want your life? She is a beauty now and is our master. What is the price for talking about the master in vain? Haven't you seen those corpses on the polo ground?"
Thinking of the ubiquitous and elusive Dragon Guard, a group of people were so frightened that they quickly changed the subject.
Candles were lit in the small tent, illuminating a graceful figure.
Normally at this time, several sisters would be wandering around and playing, so they would definitely live up to this great time.
The figure happened to be sitting on Zhu Sijia's bed, and his busy hands made it difficult to see clearly, but Zhu Sijia knew at a glance that the person was Zhu Siyi.
After all, the other girls in Prince Yan's residence were not as well-fed as her in food and clothing, so naturally they were not as tall and luxurious as her.
What can I do to trouble a young lady like her to come to this three-acre piece of land?
Zhu Sijia smiled at Aunt Duan and the palace maid who were traveling with her:
"Aunt Duan, maybe my sister is sitting in the tent. Could you please wait outside the tent for a while while I talk to her for a while and explain some matters before you go in."
Aunt Duan answered her expressionlessly: "Let the beauty do what you want."
She was the nun in charge of Yan Xiu's palace, and she was always impartial and selfless. She was also Yan Xiu's wet nurse when he was an infant. Compared to the Queen Mother, Yan Xiu was closer to her.
Zhu Sijia had never seen her in her previous life, and even Empress Dowager Zhang and Zhu Siyi, who would become empress in the future, would give her three points of praise.
The position where Aunt Duan and the others stood was neither close nor far, but they could just hear all the sounds in the tent.
With a smile on her face, Zhu Scarlett opened the curtain and walked into the tent.
As soon as she entered the tent, she was faced with Zhu Siyi's angry face.
"Oh, who am I saying? It turns out to be you, the broom star." Zhu Siyi put down the dress in her hands and raised a pretty and stubborn little face, "No, now I should change my name and call you Zhu Beauty." , sister, do you think so or not?”
Now she was worried that she had nowhere to vent her anger. I wish Scarlett, the culprit, had the courage to show up with peace of mind.
Zhu Scarlett said in a calm tone: "It turns out to be my sister. Whatever she wants to call me is her freedom. The eldest sister is the eldest, and Scarlett dare not exceed it."
The person who used to behave politely when meeting him became his master overnight.
Even if she becomes the master, I didn't expect that not only would she be so calm, but she would also dare to express her age?
Thinking of the punishment she suffered at the Dragon Guard today, Zhu Siyi became even more angry. She threw the torn dress in her hand directly at Zhu Sijia's feet:
"Congratulations Scarlett! Don't show me such a deceitful and pitiful look! It must be your charming and charming nature that confused my cousin and made him show no mercy to me."
"So what if you become a concubine? Do you want to be proud and proud of yourself? I don't care how you show off your power in front of others. Stop showing off in front of me!"
"You are not a queen. No matter how beautiful your position is, it is still difficult for you to reach the palace of elegance! You, like that vixen of yours, have been living as a lowly person all your life!"
After a series of witty words, Zhu Siyi vented his anger and felt much more at ease.
When the dragon guards took her for interrogation, they did not torture her, but the masks with drawings of Shura ghosts and the cold eyes under the masks would probably give her endless nightmares.
All of this was caused by Zhu Sijia, she was so bold as to betray herself.
Zhu Sijia knelt down, picked up the torn dress, and sighed helplessly:
"Sister, be careful. Now that I have become His Majesty's, no matter how much I don't like me, I should always take His Majesty's face into consideration. Otherwise, if I am captured by the Dragon Guard again, I will be unable to help."
Zhu Siyi was so angry that she threw a ruined skirt at Zhu Sijia and cursed:
"Stop pretending to threaten me with your cousin! So what if you become a queen? But don't forget that your unlucky mother still has to live in the palace!"
