The Imperial Dining Room is a long way from the polo ground.
Zhu Sijia was so anxious that she didn't let any palace maid follow her. She held up her skirt with both hands and ran along the criss-crossing paths, regardless of her manners.
The rings and jewelry on her body made a crisp sound, like silver beads falling on a jade plate. Fortunately, it was too early now, and most of the tents were still asleep.
The polo ground was built in the south of the Xihe Valley, and the flat land in the north was used to build thousands of tents. To get there, it would usually take half an hour to ride on a chariot.
It would be nice if there was a horse that I could ride at this moment.
Zhu Sijia thought as she ran, not daring to relax even a little bit.
Suddenly, a man emerged from the tent in front of him, stood on the path she was about to cross, and stretched out towards her.
Zhu Sijia was already nervous, and because she was looking left and right along the way, she accidentally bumped into the man.
"Hiss—Sister-in-law, where are you going in all your attire this morning?" Yan Wei rubbed his shoulder that was hurt by her bump, and asked with a grin on his face, "Sister-in-law, is there something urgent?"
Why did he meet Yan Wei at this time?
Zhu Sijia put down her skirt and answered him calmly: "It's not an emergency, just go find my ignorant brother."
Yan Wei wanted to continue talking to her, but Zhu Sijia didn't even say goodbye to him. She ignored his hesitation and continued running in another direction.
This royal sister-in-law is getting more and more interesting.
Yan Wei put away the yawning look just now and looked at Zhu Sijia's back, the light in his eyes dimming inch by inch.
There is a century-old tree at the entrance of the camp.
Next to the old tree, with his back to Zhu Sijia, squatted a young man in black attire. The totem behind the attire was a lifelike blue bird embroidered, which was the symbol of the Qin Dynasty.
Judging from his body shape and physique, Zhu Sijia was sure that he was Zhu Yuancun at a glance.
But when she actually stepped forward and patted the young man on the shoulder, she turned around and saw an unfamiliar face with red lips and white teeth.
He is not completely unfamiliar either. Zhu Sijia has met him several times in both past and present lives, and few noble men of his age can grow up to be as outstanding as him.
"Beauty, I was wrong! Don't catch me!"
Zhu Sijia didn't say anything, but Ren Huai turned around and knelt down and kowtowed: "You must never tell His Majesty about this!"
After saying this, he hurriedly covered his mouth and retched in front of Zhu Sijia.
Zhu Sijia was so frightened by him that she frowned: "Is Little General Ren feeling ill?"
Ren Huai is different from his brother Ren He. He has not yet reached the imperial crown and has not yet obtained an official position in the court. However, for the sake of old general Ren and his brother, everyone will always politely call him "Ren Xiao". General".
Ren Huai suppressed the disgusting turbidity in his throat, and said with a pale face:
"You blame me for all this! Your Majesty kindly hunted back a wild boar at night. My brother repeatedly told me that I can't eat it until the imperial kitchen is cleaned up and His Majesty roasted it with his own hands. But now I'm growing tall and I can't bear the hunger. , and fearing that he would disappoint His Majesty, he secretly cut off a small piece of meat from the front leg while no one was paying attention, took it down and roasted it to eat."
Zhu Sijia said anxiously: "Young General Ren, can you cook that meat until it's thoroughly roasted?"
Ren Huai nodded: "You should not eat half-cooked game easily. I know this, so I almost burned the meat before eating it."
That means the meat is inherently poisonous! It’s definitely not a human factor!
This was Zhu Scarlett's first reaction.
She patted Ren Huai's back to comfort him: "How does Little General Ren feel now?"
Ren Huai said with a sad face: "It's not good, I have cramps in my abdomen...I'm afraid my substitute will have to come on at the polo match."
Zhu Sijia: "Then have you seen my brother show up? Has he eaten this wild boar meat?"
Ren Huai pointed at the polo ground not far away: "Master Zhu? He said that he specifically asked your Majesty for permission. Eating greasy meat and fish in the morning was not good for his stomach and intestines. Your Majesty gave permission. So he took a few pieces of rice cakes steamed by the imperial chef and For snacks, run to the polo ground to familiarize yourself with the layout in advance.”
It turns out that I wish Yuancun was safe and sound.
Then the others - wouldn't they all be brutally murdered?
The sun rises in the east.
If we go back from here now, it may be too late to stop them from eating the barbecue.
Zhu Sijia smiled at Ren Huai and said, "Young General Ren, you might as well come with me. I have some medicine to treat stomach problems that I still have in the tent I share with my concubine."
Ren Huai suddenly beamed: "Really?! Thank you for wishing me beautiful!"
Outside the tent of the concubine of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Zhu Sijia has never been back here since she plotted against Zhu Siyi here last time.
Now that she was involved again, she could only pray that the rest of her belongings were not destroyed by Zhu Siyi.
The bottle of medicine was prepared by her in Prince Yan's Mansion in advance. It was a rare folk remedy from the North, and it had a miraculous effect on treating sudden stomach ailments.
The biggest source of food during the autumn hunting period is all kinds of meat. She eats lightly all year round and is afraid that she won't be able to bear it, so she makes a conscious effort to prepare it in advance.
I didn't expect that it would actually come in handy today.
"There are all female relatives in the tent. Please, General Ren, please wait here for a while." Zhu Sijia said this to Ren Huai before walking in.
Among the three sisters, except Zhu Silin, the youngest, they all got up and dressed up under the service of the maid and mother-in-law. When they saw Zhu Sijia, they all stood up and saluted obediently.
Zhu Sijia said softly: "Just sit down and put on your makeup. Don't wake up Celine."
After saying that, she opened her box and rummaged through the medicine bottle. Fortunately, Zhu Siyi didn't throw it away.
The slap warning worked well that night.
Zhu Sijia smiled faintly at the medicine bottle.
After the heart-to-heart talk at the falconry meeting a few days ago, Zhu Siying's opinions about her sister disappeared a lot.
The smile on her face when she saw Zhu Sijia was much more sincere than before. She approached Zhu Sijia and asked in a low voice: "Sister, are you going to sit with His Majesty to watch the polo match today?"
Zhu Scarlett nodded: "Yes."
Zhu Siying smiled happily: "Then can I sit with my sister today? Although this is against the rules, His Majesty loves my sister so much, so he shouldn't mind such a small thing, right?"
Zhu Sijia thought deeply: "Your Majesty and I won't mind, but are you sure others won't?"
To openly sit in the most distinguished seat on such an occasion is tantamount to announcing to all the noble ladies in the capital that she wishes Siying's present day to be different from the past.
Zhu Siying straightened her back: "I just want to show those who look down on me that I am the younger sister of Zhu Meiren, His Majesty's favorite."
Scarlett knew all about her little thoughts.
It is reasonable for a little girl who has been suppressed and bullied for many years to be vain.
Zhu Sijia had no choice but to agree to her: "Okay, you can just sit with me."
Zhu Siying was so happy that she jumped three feet high: "Thank you, sister!"
After leaving the camp, Zhu Sijia handed the medicine bottle to Ren Huai: "General Ren, just take three small pills and swallow them directly."
