Chapter 160 The Beginning(1/2)

"Miss, Dao Er is here."

"Dao Er?" Mu Yanshu looked sideways slightly and turned to sit down.

Speaking of which, since she took over the family, Aunt Sang has given special benefits to the Wanting Pavilion. In addition to the monthly trivial matters, she rarely interferes in the things in Wanting Pavilion. She sends in the prayers or people who come to visit will report directly to the Wanting Pavilion, and Mu Yanshu will handle it by herself.

Dao Er obviously came on behalf of Master Ling Si, so Mu Yanshu naturally didn’t have so much scruples, so she let go and said, “Let me come in.”

"yes."

Ruizhu received the order, and after a moment, he brought the person in from Wanting Pavilion.

Dao Er did not come alone. Behind him, three followers in black. The three of them were holding plates with hands, and the plates were covered with beautiful silk. Obviously, the things inside were valuable.

Dao Er didn't expect Mu Guanqing to be here. After a slight pause, he politely said, "I have met Princess Huaian, Lord Mu."

Mu Guanqing put down his bow and arrow, sat beside Mu Yanshu, smiled and raised his hand, "No need to be polite."

Mu Yanshu raised her eyebrows slightly and said straight in one's own sword, "Come and send me something again?"

"Princess Huaian, the spring hunting ceremony is approaching. This is specially prepared by our master for you. Please check it out."

Dao Er bowed his fists and then opened the first plate, introducing it with a cold and hard manner, "This saddle is carved from golden wire and iron wood. The fur on it is taken from a fire fox collected by our master earlier. It is warm and comfortable, and is very suitable for spring hunting."

Dao Er is not good at speaking and is simple introductory, but the saddle is complicated with rare materials. Not to mention that gold wire will appear for five hundred years on iron wood. The fire fox skin alone is a rare thing as famous as the silver snow fox. In addition, the carvings on it are vivid and gold-painted inlaid jade can definitely be called a priceless treasure.

Mu Yanshu nodded immediately, "It's indeed a good thing."

Seeing that she gave the evaluation, Dao Er breathed a sigh of relief and took advantage of the opportunity to lift the second piece of silk.

I saw two of the most popular women's riding outfits nowadays, one with a light green vest riding outfit, and one with a coral red, one with a light and one with a rich and colorful one. They were all made of dark satin with Huaguang Shu brocade. The neckline and cuffs were embedded with silver snow fox fur, and the belt on it was made of a rather matte texture of snow satin, which was perfect in terms of color matching to workmanship.

Unfortunately, these two exquisite riding suits immediately became dry when they reached Dao Er's mouth.

"These are two sets of riding gear, which are specially used for hunting. They are made of Huaguang Shu brocade. The fur on it is made of Silver Snow Fox. It was found by our grandfather recently and is very suitable for spring hunting."

Mu Yanshu nodded, "It's very beautiful."

When Dao Er heard this, he was delighted in his eyes. He felt a sense of two-thirds of his foot after a long march. He respectfully opened the third Chengpan, "Princess Huaian, please see, this is a rhinoceros whip. The handle is made of rhinoceros horns, and it is embedded with gems offered by Fanbians. It is a treasure of our master and is very suitable for spring hunting."

The third time I heard the sentence: It is very suitable for spring hunting. Mu Yanshu's eyes couldn't help but fall on Dao Er and said seriously, "You can use very, very special, extremely, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, so on to replace ten."

When Dao Er heard this, his mouth twitched immediately.

"The villain remembered it." He bowed his fists and said stiffly, somewhat persistently, "Princess Huaian, what do you think of this horse whip? Are you satisfied?"

It’s not okay to be obsessed with it. Their master said clearly that these three things must be done by Princess Huaian in turn.

Dao Er naturally did not dare to give a 5% discount on the orders of His Highness.

In fact, Mu Yanshu couldn't find anything dissatisfied with such a rare treasure, so he nodded again, "Satisfied, the materials are rare and the craftsmanship is excellent. You can tell that it is the best product when you look at it."

Seeing this, Dao Er couldn't help but feel at ease.

However, before this peace of mind was implemented, Mu Yanshu continued, "But these things are too expensive. I just customized some items, and I'm afraid I don't have so much money in my hand."

Dao Er was obviously well-trained. He was not surprised to hear this. He immediately bowed his fists and said with a stern look, "Go back to Princess Huaian, our grandfather said that you promised him after the Xuemei Banquet. You will keep the things he gives in the future and will not give the money."

Mu Yanshu was slightly stunned. Only then did she realize that there was indeed such a thing, but...

"I just promised him that time, the Fourth Master would change his concept."

Dao Er tried hard to suppress the embarrassment from the bottom, and said with a stiff face, "Our master also said that spring hunting is coming soon. At that time, you can invite him to have a barbecue or something."

Mu Guanqing, who was watching the whole process, couldn't help but speak, and the smile on the corner of his lips was very meaningful, "His Royal Highness Zhan was really thorough instructing him."

Dao Er was focused and was not affected by Mu Guanqing at all. He took a deep breath and said with a look of death. "Our master also said that if the villain cannot complete the task, let the villain stay in the Zhanwang Mansion to wash clothes and not let the villain go to the battlefield."

It has to be said that if a man who has experienced many battles and makes a living by fighting will no longer go to the battlefield, but will stay in the backyard to wash clothes. This punishment is also very cruel.

Unfortunately, Mu Yanshu's sympathy has always been pitiful, so she said naturally, "The injuries on your body are just right, and it is not suitable for going to the battlefield. It's good to wash clothes."

Knife 2: "…"

Seeing Dao Er a strong man, he almost burst into tears.

Mu Yanshu then felt relieved, "Save the things behind, thank the Fourth Master on my behalf."

Dao Er immediately received a general amnesty and said gratefully, "Yes, thank you Princess Huaian for your kindness!"

Seeing that Mu Yanshu finally accepted the things, a few mountain lanes surrounded Mu Guanqing's eyes and smiled regretfully, "I had prepared these things for Sister Yan, but unfortunately I was one step too late. Looking at His Highness the King of War, Guanqing was really unable to make any move."

Seeing that Mu Guanqing seemed quite depressed, Mu Yanshu said in a gentle voice, "I'll show it to me later. It's not harmful to prepare two more sets."

When Mu Guanqing heard this, he was shocked, "Okay, after dinner, I'll ask someone to bring it over."

Although Dao Er is an iron-blooded man, he is used to ambushing traps on the battlefield and inexplicably feels that Mu Guanqing's actions just now are not very pleasing to him.

So, I made a decision in my heart: I must report this matter after I go back!

Dao Er was thinking about it, but Mu Yanshu spoke slowly, "Dao Er, it's getting late, are you going to stay for dinner together?"

Dao Er was immediately flattered and swallowed, "You asked me... to stay... for rice?"

Mu Yanshu looked sideways, "You are injured on your shoulders, not your ears."

Dao Er shrank his neck embarrassedly, instinctively wanted to agree, but with his tenacious willpower, he changed his words, "Thank you for Princess Huaian's kindness, or... don't want it."

There is no way, I promise to be happy and go back to the crematorium!

This matter cannot be reported, no!

Jealousy is the devil!

Mu Yanshu just asked casually and nodded immediately.

"That's it." She said quite bluntly, "Let's go if you have nothing to do, so you can save yourself from missing meals. We'll eat it and you'll feel distressed."

Dao Er twitched the corners of his mouth, and he bent down with his fists, "Yes, the villain took his leave."

"Ruizhu, send it."

"yes."

Six days later, the spring hunting ceremony arrived as scheduled.

The Spring Hunting Festival is like the Snow Plum Banquet, and is also one of the traditional celebrations of the Xiling royal family. It traces the origin and has a greater impact than the Snow Plum Banquet.

The reason is nothing else. At this time of year, not only Xiling, but also the Three Kingdoms of Southern Yuan, Eastern Wu, Northern Wei and Northern Wei will also hold spring hunting ceremony.

It’s just that everyone has their own territory and does not interfere with each other, and the process regulations are also different.

The spring hunting ceremony in Xiling Kingdom is not counted as a distance, it lasts for three days in total, and is located at the Royal Hunting Ground behind Qinglong Mountain.

On the first day of the ceremony, Emperor Cheng and his concubines would have fun with them, kill pigs and sheep, and hold a feast for sacrifice to heaven, so that all things can be abundant and that everyone can return with a full load; on the second day, Emperor Cheng would have personally come to the periphery of the royal hunting ground and hunt beasts; on the third day is the so-called free activity time, and everyone can enter the hunting ground in groups of three or five and hunt at will.

Three days later, Emperor Cheng will lead the concubines back. If others are interested, they can stay in the hunting ground for a few more days. Ten days later, the hunting ground will be completely blocked and wait for the coming year.

It has to be said that it is because of Xiling's protection of the royal hunting ground that this forest becomes increasingly dense and the animals in it become more and more prosperous.

Especially in recent years, large beasts may appear on the edge, not to mention the inside.

Because the first day of spring hunting is a grand ceremony for worshiping heaven, in order to prepare early, everyone will arrive one day earlier.

Mu Yanshu arrived that day.

It is worth mentioning that because the Sang Zhuzhang family is quite popular with Mu Shihong and the old lady, Mu Shihong intends to cultivate Mu Yanyu, so this time, Mu Yanyu came with Mu Yanhua.

Mu Yanyu was a tactful person. Although he followed Mu Yanhua, he brought his own carriage and never disturbed Mu Yanshu from beginning to end. After arriving at the hunting ground, he followed Mu Yanshu peacefully without any intention of crossing the situation.

Because today is a big day for spring hunting and worshiping heaven, the square in the center of the Royal Hunting Ground Camp has already been set up, and many people arrived early, including Ji Miaomiao and Lin Dairong and other daughters.

By the way, it turns out that Bai Yanxue and Mu Yanhua have always been the center of everyone, but now Mu Yanhua has married Bai Yunfei's concubine son, which has completely faded out of this circle. Although the news of Changle Marquis' Mansion has slowed down recently, Changle Marquis's power has not been restored to its real power. Bai Yanxue has not arrived for a long time. As the two beauties of Shengjing, Lin Dairong is also a person who is not fighting or scrambling and has never liked others to flatter. Therefore, the focus of the daughters fell on Ji Miaomiao.

Ji Miaomiao is also a rare beauty, but she is not outstanding against the backdrop of Bai Yanxue and others.

I don’t know if it’s particularly suitable for riding outfits, but today Ji Miaomiao wore a crimson purple vest with a double-breasted riding outfit. She was square and handsome, and she was radiant and beautiful, and she was extremely eye-catching in the crowd.

Even the princes gathered on the other side seemed to have noticed Ji Miaomiao's existence.

Ji Miaomiao smiled more and more like a flower, and was praising each other with the daughters around him, but when the people around him suddenly spoke in surprise, "Miss Bai is here!"

Ji Miaomiao suddenly turned around and his face was almost undetectable.

Today, Bai Yanxue wore a bright red dress, her hair was tied into a luxurious and luxurious bun, and a golden red head on her head, which set off her skin that was as bright as a snowy person. She looked like a peach and plum, and was full of bright colors and nobleness!

There is no doubt that such a dress is completely overwhelming and turns everyone into a slap, including Ji Miaomiao.

However, she only froze for a moment, and when Bai Yanxue approached, she was already smiling like a flower.

"Yanxue, you are here." Ji Miaomiao held Bai Yanxue's hand affectionately, "Some sisters said you won't come. I said you will definitely come. It seems that I can guess correctly."

Bai Yanxue curled her lips coldly and arrogantly, "On a big day like the Spring Hunting Festival, our Changle Marquis Mansion is also among the invitations. Why don't I come?"

These days, because the Changle Marquis Mansion was banned, Bai Yanxue lived a very frustrated life. Today, she just wanted to let others see that even if the Changle Marquis Mansion encountered setbacks, she was still the noble daughter of the Marquis Mansion. No one could match her beauty and status!

Ji Miaomiao secretly pinched the veil, but he joked with regret on his face, "Actually, I hope you won't come. When you come, our riding and shooting skills will be better."

"At that time, I will show mercy." Bai Yanxue raised her chin like a loving look, looked around, with a few traces of resentment flashing in her eyes, "What, Princess Huaian hasn't arrived yet?"

Ji Miaomiao smiled, "Princess Huaian is like you, and she should have arrived today, so it's inevitable that she will be a little late."

Bai Yanxue immediately snorted coldly, "She is so arrogant."

At this moment, a sudden sound of surprise came from beside him, "The Fifth Prince is here!"
