This is a royal hunting party. According to the rules of previous years, these dignitaries will be rewarded after hunting their first prey, and this year is no exception.
However, the people providing rewards this year are different from previous years.
In previous years, the emperor personally awarded the reward, but this year he asked the most favored concubine in the palace to temporarily reward him instead.
Everyone knew that Concubine Shu and Shang Jin were distant relatives. When they heard that Concubine Shu was offering a reward, they couldn't help but look sideways at Shang Jin.
Shang Jin held something in his hand and sat steadily with his face as usual, as if he was unaware of the matter.
After glancing at the emperor above her, Concubine Shu chuckled and said softly.
"Although I am favored by His Majesty, I am really not skilled in martial arts, so I am completely ignorant of these things. There are only rumors among us that young men admire me at a young age, and presumably many young men in the city also have someone they like. "
"Therefore, I have here a set of jade hairpins as tributes from the vassal states that His Majesty rewarded the year before last year. They are hard-made and extremely rare items from the vassal state. I will use them as a reward when I go to the palace. Anyone who can get the ranking this time will be rewarded. Gong Jun will reward you with one and give it to your fiancée. Love is stronger than gold, so I hope you won’t dislike it."
Since Concubine Shu said so, and this thing was a gift from His Majesty, who dares to say that His Majesty's thing is not good?
Everyone laughed and said hello one after another.
Regardless of whether they are familiar with it or not, they all praise it loudly.
"Concubine Shu is really generous, she is willing to give these things to others."
Concubine Shu just smiled and didn't say much.
He only asked someone to bring the things up, and then asked softly: "Who won the first hunting ranking this time."
Hearing what he said, everyone looked at Shang Jin and smiled.
"Of course it's the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince has a majestic appearance. He is also leading the way this time. The young man's health is indeed much better. His hunting ability alone makes us old men clap our hands and envy him."
Concubine Shu smiled, clicked her tongue, looked into Shang Jin's eyes, and asked with a smile.
"It's really you?"
Shang Jin lazily agreed.
Concubine Shu smiled.
"It must be that you adults don't bother to argue with him as a child, so you prefer him. Since you are my relative, I have to be more partial to you. How about I reward you with a pair of hostas? In the future, you can Isn’t it a good thing to take one for each of your eldest son, concubine and concubine?”
Shang Jin clicked his tongue and nodded casually.
"It's a good thing, a good thing, it's a good thing. Thank you, Concubine Shu."
Concubine Shu laughed and pursed her lips.
"From the look of you, it doesn't look like you're really thanking me."
Shang Jin said nothing.
Concubine Shu frowned, looked at the emperor next to her, and asked softly.
"It seems that this child doesn't like what I see in my concubine. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
The emperor laughed first and said softly.
"You are the same, my own nephew, you are so reluctant to give out good things. How can I have an aunt like you? Please give him some good things."
Concubine Shu frowned, with a look of reluctance on her face, which made the emperor helplessly laugh and say softly,
"I'll give you something nice to do."
The emperor's love for Concubine Shu could not be greater, and everyone present could see it.
The group of concubines who followed behind him couldn't help but look blue and purple. A new generation replaced the old one in the palace. However, the emperor put all his thoughts on an old and lustful concubine. To them, , is even more insulting.
A slightly younger person looked at Concubine Shu and said with a smile.
"Concubine Shu is so favored by His Majesty, why are you so stingy about this matter? Why don't you do this? I have two gold hairpins beside me, which I don't use often. How about taking the place of Sister Shu's reward?"
The emperor clicked his tongue, and Concubine Shu sneered and looked at him sarcastically, but she didn't say a word.
He just looked at his nephew in amusement and asked.
"What, are you willing to take her gold hairpin? She was also assassinated in the palace."
After hearing this, Shang Jin just smiled and said he was offended, and directly threw the wild goose he had hunted with his hands, letting the snow on the wild goose sprinkle on the bright yellow cloth.
There were rumors in the palace that this was very unlucky, but His Majesty didn't seem to care about it at all, and smiled at Shang Jin with special affection.
"What are you doing? Even if you don't care about it, you can't do this. Isn't this a loss of my face?~
Shang Jin walked to the emperor's side and said directly.
"I still have something to do. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
The emperor waved his hand.
"You kid has always acted lawlessly. Why should I spare you? Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Shang Jin just smiled and stretched out his hand. The long sword whirled in his hand, as if it had eyes, and pierced the concubine's chest directly.
In an instant, the concubine, who had a peach blossom face just now and lowered her head with a smile, turned into a corpse in an instant. The warm blood was still exuding a white air in the late autumn tent.
Obviously, it had just left the owner's body.
This sudden change shocked everyone. Even the princesses below turned pale with fright and did not dare to say a word.
The Prime Minister was the first to frown and scolded in a low voice.
"You rebellious minister, what are you going to do?"
