Chapter 85 The Queen's Plan

Today is the first hunt, and Emperor Jing will take the lead. Anyone who can participate will participate, even Bai Qirou is no exception, so Huo Chenxiao naturally wants to go.

Emperor Jing got on his horse, looked at the front and raised his voice: "Today, everyone must do their best, show your abilities, and let me see!" Then he tightened the reins, clamped his legs, and said, "Drive!"

The horse neighed and ran forward, followed by others, and the hunt began like this...

It wasn't until His Majesty's figure disappeared that the queen looked at the group of female relatives and said with a smile: "It's boring to just stay here. There are some places around the hunting ground with beautiful scenery, so everyone can arrange it by themselves."

"Yes, thank you Empress Dowager." After everyone saluted and thanked, they dispersed.

The queen looked at the noble concubine and said, "I haven't talked with the noble concubine for a long time. It just so happens that Your Majesty is taking people to hunt now. I wonder if the noble concubine would like to have a cup of tea with this palace?"

"My concubine invites you, how can a concubine be unreasonable?" Concubine Zhao readily agreed.

"Then let's go." The queen glanced at her, turned around and went to her tent, Concubine Zhao quickly followed after seeing this...

"Wangfei, why are we going?" Putao followed Lan Qing, seeing that Wangfei didn't go back, but went in another direction, she couldn't help asking.

"Didn't the empress say that the scenery around the hunting ground is very good? Anyway, the prince and sister must not come back until the afternoon, and we will be idle when we go back. Why don't we just walk around to relax." Lan Qing looked around, Said on the side.

Putao is not as cautious as Lizhi. Hearing this, she did not object. If she is in danger, she is sure that she can protect the princess, so she asked, "Then, princess, where are we going?"

"Ah! Look there," Lan Qing pointed to a path leading into the forest, "There is a path there, let's walk along that path."

Putao followed Wang Hao's eyes and saw that there was indeed a small road, and it was artificially made, so someone must have patrolled the forest before, so it should be safe, otherwise the road would have been blocked long ago.

"Okay, princess, let's go then." Putao nodded and smiled happily.

Lan Qing led people into the forest, every tree was full of branches and leaves, the bushes on the side of the road were dotted with red and ripe berries, the sunlight penetrated through the lush branches and leaves to the ground, the bushes, the fruits, the forest Occasionally, there are a few crisp birdsong, which makes people feel comfortable.

"Princess, these berries are edible." Putao stooped to pick a few red berries, wiped them carefully with a handkerchief, and handed them to Lan Qing.

Lan Qing took it and took a bite, "Mmm! It's delicious." The berries were rosy and plump, and as soon as she bit into it, the sweet and sour taste instantly occupied her entire taste buds.

Seeing Wang Hao's happy expression, Putao also smiled, "It's good that Wang Hao likes it."

While eating, Lan Qing walked forward, and suddenly saw a few purple berries in front of her, which looked delicious, and she reached out her hand to pick them off and taste them.

"Princess," Putao took Lan Qing's hand, seeing Wangfei's puzzled look, explained: "This kind of berry is poisonous and cannot be eaten."

"Ah? That's it." Lan Qing hurriedly withdrew her hand when she heard that. Fortunately, someone reminded her, otherwise she would have to pick and eat it. Then she looked at the grapes curiously, "How do you know which of these berries can be eaten and which one can't?" ah?"

"This... I used to know a hunter when I was at home. I went hunting with him, so I recognize him." Putao said calmly.

"Oh, that's it." Lan nodded lightly, without asking any further questions, and continued walking forward.

Seeing that the princess seemed to believe her, Putao finally let go of her hanging heart. It was so dangerous that she almost gave up.

"Huh? What are you still doing there? Let's go ahead and have a look, maybe there is something delicious to eat." Lan Qing looked back at the grapes that were still standing there, and urged.

"Hey, here we come." Putao smiled, completely relieved, and trotted to follow...

Concubine Zhao followed the empress to her tent, and after tea was served, the empress said: "You all go down, I will talk to the imperial concubine about yourselves."

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Nanny Liu led the other maids in the tent out.

Hong'er beside Concubine Zhao saw that they had all gone out, logically speaking she should also go out, but she was afraid that the queen would be unfavorable to her master, so she still stood where she was.

"Can't you hear what I'm talking about? Get out!" The queen slammed the teacup back, and shot sharp eyes at the maid behind Concubine Zhao.

"Go on, the queen and I may not have had a good conversation for a long time." Concubine Zhao said to her maid.

"Yes, this servant will leave." Hearing her master's words, Hong'er had no choice but to leave.

"My younger sister is good at training servants, she is really loyal to protect the lord." Looking at Hong'er's back, the queen said with a half-smile.

"Your Majesty is absurd, how can a concubine train a servant, Hong'er is just a muscle, she didn't intend to disobey the empress, please forgive me." Concubine Zhao stood up and apologized.

"Sister, what are you talking about? It's a good thing for a servant to be loyal to the master." The Queen smiled and raised her hand, signaling Concubine Zhao to sit down. If this girl's disrespect in front of the imperial court, wouldn't she implicate my sister?"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean..." Concubine Zhao asked tentatively.

"My sister should have a smarter person by her side, so that you can save yourself some trouble and take good care of your Majesty, my sister said, right?" The queen finished speaking with a smile, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly.

"Thank you for your reminder, my concubine will choose another one who is smarter when I go back." Concubine Zhao nodded in response.

Hearing this, the queen put down the teacup in her hand, "Why bother, I've already picked one for my younger sister," then raised her voice, "Zhi'er, come in."

Concubine Zhao looked at the maid who came in, she was a bit pretty, although she wasn't very beautiful, but she was young, she looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and she looked very fresh.

"Sister, this Zhi'er is a newcomer to the palace. I think she is quite clever, so how about letting her serve you by your side?" The queen looked at Concubine Zhao with a smile. But it is absolutely necessary.

Concubine Zhao couldn't see it, even if she didn't want to, she could only accept it, "Thank you, concubine."

Seeing that she accepted the man, the queen was very satisfied. Seeing that her goal had been achieved, she didn't want to keep him anymore, "I'm a bit tired, sister, go back, I'll find you for tea in the Japanese palace."

"Yes, the concubine is resigning." Zhao Guifei bowed and left with Zhi'er...
