Chapter 300: Escort hunting
Chapter 300 Accompanied Hunting
When Zhao Xiang returned to Beijing, some people were happy, and of course some were not. In particular, he seems to have regained the trust and attention of the emperor very quickly. First, he was awarded the title of Grand Bachelor of the Diange, and soon he was appointed as the left servant of the household department. , then naturally it will be made up by Zhao Xiang.
This gets in the way of some people.
Naturally, people will bear grudges.
Zhao Liya hadn't participated in such an event in the capital for a long time, and Mrs. Deng didn't come this time. Mrs. Li Guogong was ill, so naturally she didn't come. The servant's wife couldn't stop some people from deliberately saying some sarcasm and harsh words in front of Zhao Liya.
Zhao Liya was too lazy to argue with them.
Having experienced such things as exile, to Zhao Liya, the painless verbal disputes are not much different from joking. Listening to those words, she even finds them ridiculous. If it didn't seem disrespectful to laugh like this in front of others, she would really laugh.
Laughing at those noble ladies and young wives who ridiculed her, seeing that Zhao Liya clearly heard their mocking remarks but acted as if they had heard nothing, they couldn't help feeling very proud.
Let’s just say, even if Zhao Liya’s father returns to the capital, he will be valued by the emperor again, so what if he regains a high position? After being exiled for a while and leaving the capital for many years, how could Zhao Liya, who was originally pampered and pampered, bear it? Nowadays, it is not surprising that she is timid, cowardly, and dare not respond even if she is ridiculed in person, and only dares to pretend not to know.
Miss Zhao like this is a joke!
Soon arrived at the Royal Hunting Ground. Because they come here every year, many honorable ministers have their own courtyards here, and those who don't have their own residences. When the emperor ordered them to settle down, everyone went to their residences in an orderly manner.
The Zhao family did not have a courtyard house here. The emperor valued Zhao Xiang, so he rewarded Zhao Xiang and Zhao Liya to live in a courtyard next to the palace. There are many such courtyards around the palace, and every time the emperor hunts, he will reward the close ministers to live there, so that they can summon them at any time.
Zhao Liya and Zhao Xiang's father and daughter lived in a courtyard with two entrances, and the Duke of Li's Mansion lived in three courtyards away from them, not too far away.
That night, taking advantage of the dark night and high winds, Zhou Hansheng secretly came to Zhao's courtyard to meet Zhao Liya.
Zhao Xiang was summoned but did not return, and it was difficult for the lonely man and the widow to see each other in public, so Zhao Liya simply quietly brought Zhou Hansheng into his bedroom to talk. Although the private space makes it more lonely and widowed, but avoid people's eyes and ears.
As long as no one sees it, it is not an orphan!
Zhou Hansheng was extremely happy, with a smile on his face and eyes, and his heart was full of joy. His daughter-in-law likes him so much, just look at it, and let him enter the room!
Zhou Hansheng was so elated that he was reluctant to leave. If he hadn't thought about Zhao Liya's need to rest, he would have stayed here until dawn.
"Take a good rest tomorrow. Let's go hunting together the day after tomorrow. I will accompany you and keep you safe. What do you want? Let's look for it the day after tomorrow. There are many foxes, wolves, and deer in this hunting ground."
Zhou Hansheng's eyes were burning, and the light in his eyes was so blazing that it almost turned into substance, surrounding Zhao Liya, making her heart beat faster. Zhao Liya was sweet in her heart, and smiled sweetly: "It's good to have you by my side, let's go farther, as long as it's a big guy."
Zhou Hansheng laughed: "OK"
Everyone rested for a day, and on the day of hunting, everyone started to get busy early in the morning.
Whether it is entering the arena or playing with or accompanying people, it is a good opportunity to perform. Maybe it is in the eyes of the emperor or concubine, or even some nobles and important ministers.
For every opportunity to travel like this, anyone who is eligible to participate will cherish it very much.
Because Zhao Liya was going hunting with Zhou Hansheng today, she was naturally dressed in riding attire, with fiery red riding attire, a moon-white cloak, a pair of sheepskin boots wrapped around her calves, and a quiver and longbow on her back. With a sharp dagger in his bosom, long hair in a high bundle, and handsome features, he is outstanding.
After the spring equinox and spring and summer dressed her up, she couldn't help but stare dumbfounded, "Missy is really, really beautiful!", "Yes, yes, it is really eye-catching! What is it called? Ying, Ying , By the way, heroic and valiant!"
The three master and servant laughed together.
Couldn’t ride horses in spring and summer, so they won’t go with them, but it’s okay, Zhou Hansheng will take care of Zhao Liya, Zhao Nan and other guards around Zhou Hansheng are also very familiar with Zhao Liya, so naturally they will care.
Zhao Liya will not feel restrained and uncomfortable when she is with them.
Zhao Xiang was already waiting for his daughter, seeing Zhao Liya, his eyes lit up as well, and he praised with a smile: "Ya'er is dressed so heroically, it's different from usual!"
Zhao Liya looked down at herself, and said with a smile: "Does Dad feel good too?"
Zhao Xiang laughed loudly: "That's naturally good!"
Seeing Zhou Hansheng, I'm afraid it will feel better.
Zhou Hansheng and the people in the Liguo Mansion had already passed by. Zhao Liya and his daughter went all the way to the meeting place. When they met people on the road, they couldn't help but look at Zhao Liya a few more times when they came forward to say hello, secretly amazed.
There are not many female family members who will participate in the hunting today, but there will not be few. There are many who have worked **** the dress. It is said that Zhao Liya's dress is not eye-catching and will not attract attention.
But, who made her Zhao Xiang's daughter?
Zhao Xiangnai is a figure like a Confucian master. No one would find it strange that his daughter is gentle and elegant, talented and beautiful, and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even thinks it should be so. But Zhao Liya was dressed in a riding outfit, and she didn't violate the harmony at all, which was amazing.
Furthermore, along the way, there are not a few people who pay attention to Zhao Liya. In the impression of almost everyone, the eldest lady of the Zhao family is soft-tempered, reclusive, and doesn't interact with others very much. Even if she is bullied and ridiculed, she keeps silent and doesn't say a word. Along the way, I don't know how many wives and ladies are ridiculing and laughing behind their backs, and the men naturally know it too.
Unexpectedly, this Miss Zhao showed up today with such an image.
It's hard for everyone to imagine that this Ms. Zhao is really a person who is bullied and doesn't speak up and swallow her anger.
It doesn't look like much.
Soon arrived at the gathering place. The teams that entered the hunting ground today were full of vigor and high spirits. They were all gearing up, fighting high, and ready. The women who were not on the stage were all showy, talking and laughing together in one place, occasionally pointing to the teams, and giggling behind their backs without knowing what to say.
