Concubine, she is so charming

Chapter 446

After decades of separation, the princes of Zasak have changed drastically.

The grassland is no better than the capital, and the princes have experienced a lot of vicissitudes. Obviously, He is in his 30s, and they look much older.

However, because of eating beef and mutton, he is still as strong as ever.

Only the second prince, Erdun, is really old. He is now 60 years old, and his back is already a little rickety.

After a simple exchange of greetings, everyone was taken to the camp, and this time the decoration was more gorgeous than when they came here before.

Nanqi is rich and prosperous, and the trade route leads to Zasak, and now there are many original objects here.

Ning Chen's big tent was at the front, and he was talking to the princes at the moment, while the women's family members were being entertained by the eldest prince Aoqi's concubine Jibu Chuhe, and her younger sister Dolan, who is now the fourth concubine.

"I haven't seen you for many years, the imperial concubine is still elegant, and the court lady still remembers the heroic appearance of the empress back then." Dolan said with a smile.

The scars on her face are so faint that there are almost no marks, but they are still there when you look closely.

But apparently she didn't care at all.

Just looking at those bright eyes and smiles, one can tell that Dolan and the fourth prince Qing Geertai have been very happy these years.

"It's rare for the princess to remember the interesting things in the old days, but now I'm afraid I can't do it anymore. I don't have a chance to draw a bow and shoot arrows in the palace. Now I'm afraid I can't even draw the bow." Ye Yun also laughed.

She is not humble, she is really dying.

No matter how good you are, you will inevitably become unfamiliar with things you haven't touched for decades.

Jibu Chuhe spoke in a timely manner, "The imperial concubine is just a long time in the deep palace and doesn't need these things, so she becomes unfamiliar. If the empress is interested, she only needs to practice a little, and she will be able to get back the feeling she used to have."

"When we come to the grassland, naturally there is no one who does not exercise his muscles and bones. When I came here, I prepared a riding outfit, and I will go horseback riding with the princesses someday. But you two, please don't laugh at me for not being good at riding."

Ye Yun's eyes were shining brightly.

The two princesses naturally agreed and both laughed.

After exchanging a few pleasantries and not disturbing Ye Yun's rest, he came out.

Walking all the way back, Jibu Chuhe said, "I was afraid that the imperial concubine would be serious and formal, but now I see that she has a real temperament, straightforward and proper, she is a smart person."

"Yeah, it's much better than those dainty Central Plains girls." Dolan smiled.

After they left, Ye Yun changed her clothes and sat down to rest.

Once on the grassland, it is no easier to walk than the official road, and I almost died.

"There is still a banquet tonight, I really don't want to move, there will be a Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, and I can't escape."

"Your Majesty is tired, why don't you sleep for a while? The servants and maidservants clean up the bed first." Nan Zhi said.

Ye Yun nodded.

I haven't slept well since I set off from Yuzhou. Although the carriage is also spacious, it is still not as safe as the couch.

She is tired, but a group of children are very excited.

It's really novel to come back to this kind of place for the first time.

Especially the few princes who can ride horses and shoot arrows, usually only in the palace school, no matter how open there is, it can't compare with the grassland.

So after a little rest for half an hour, the children took advantage of the short time before the dinner to go riding.

Of course, the First Prince didn't go.

He is weak and is resting in the tent at the moment.

Instead, the two princesses and Ye Shuran, and the three girls went out together.

"The horses of your Highnesses seem to be horses from the Liao Kingdom. They are really beautiful." A young man galloped over on a black horse.

The third prince sized him up, "May I ask Your Excellency?"

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet." The young man got off his horse and saluted generously, "I am Bileg, the eldest son of First Prince Aoqi."

"It turns out to be the eldest son, so be polite." The third prince smiled a little and introduced, "I am the third son Ning Yuhan, and this is my second and fourth brother."

Bilge saluted them again, and it was considered that he had seen them.

The third prince still wanted to continue talking to him, but he didn't expect Bile to pull the rein and went straight to the fourth prince.

"I often hear from my aunt that the imperial concubine can shoot through Yang with a hundred steps. Auntie will never forget the archery match back then. Now that I see the Fourth Highness, she is really magnificent. I don't know if His Highness would like to compare this archery with me?"

"Your Majesty is really flattering you, but it's a pity that I'm not good at shooting. I'm afraid I can't compare to you. If you don't mind, you can teach me." The fourth prince said heartily.

Hearing what he said, Bileg laughed.

"Your Highness is modest, but I don't dare to teach you anything. I'm just discussing with His Highness. There are many rabbits on the prairie. Why don't we run around, maybe we can hunt one, and roast it for dinner."

The fourth prince caught a glimpse of the third prince's eyes dimming from the corner of his eye, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

In the end, he symbolically called the two brothers together, and the four of them went together.

On the way, they met Hong Geer, the eldest son of the third prince's family, and the team grew stronger.

When I came back at night, I really asked this group of half-sized people to hunt a few hares.

It was baked at the dinner party for everyone to share.

Because it was a reception banquet, the princes still worried that the emperor was tired from coming from the capital, so it was not too late.

On the first day, Ning Chen was still familiar with Zasak's recent affairs, so he didn't go to Ye Yun's tent.

Instead, the fourth prince came over and told about Bileg's closeness to him.

Ye Yun said with a straight face, telling the servants to guard the door.

"Now your father has not yet appointed a crown prince, and I am the head of all concubines and I have received the most favor from your father, besides, your uncle also holds the military power, and both cousins ​​are officials in the court. It is expected to be the prince."

After a pause, he put his hand on the fourth prince's shoulder.

"But no matter how many advantages you have, the final decision-making power only rests with your father. The concubine has been with your father for many years. After all, he knows a little bit. He always values ​​people's own talents and doesn't care much about other things. So you Don’t be fooled by anyone’s admiration.”

"You must know that your father wants to choose a future prince who has both ability and political integrity, not an arrogant and stupid person."

The fourth prince was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his mother to say this to him.

Although I don't deliberately avoid this topic, I rarely mention it so bluntly.

And Ye Yun's words did calm the fourth prince's heart.

After all, he was young, and he was treated differently by Bilge today. He did have a sense of superiority in his heart, especially because he felt that he was more popular than the third brother.

But thinking about it now, what is the third prince, he is someone he doesn't like.

There is nothing to be proud of being better than someone he despises, he should be striving towards his own goal.

Doing better than the father is the right direction.

Ye Yun watched his son think deeply, and when he saw the change in his eyes, he knew he understood.

This kid is smart and can see through a little bit.

Sure enough, after a while, the fourth prince stood up and cupped his hands.

"My son has written down what mother said, and I won't do it again in the future. Mother should rest early, and my son will leave."

"Go." Ye Yun smiled and waved his hands.
