The spring hunting is held at the hunting grounds on the outskirts of Beijing, where wildflowers bloom in rich colors on the lush pastures.

The royal family arranged tents and inns, the vast and extravagant soup was extravagant, and the huge pomp was jaw-dropping.

Several ministers around him were discussing politics in low voices, and Roufeng carried the intermittent chatter into Fu Ling's ears——

The rains in the south are continuous and the floods have left many people homeless, but the funds have not been approved.

The conversation suddenly stopped, and the gray-haired Minister of Tobe lowered his head and said no more words.

In the blink of an eye, the number of people increased, and the children of aristocratic families and high-ranking officials gathered here, and most of them brought their families. There were constant compliments and conversations around them, and it was full of excitement.

Fu Ling had not had much chance to socialize with those noble ladies in the past, and she was a little deserted around her. Fortunately, Xiao Chengyou was standing next to her. The two of them were extremely beautiful. Such a beautiful pair attracted a lot of attention.

Many children from aristocratic families who admired the authority of the General Mansion noticed that they all expressed their kindness to Xiao Chengyou, but he just responded calmly and did not leave Fu Ling for half a step.

After a while, as the emperor arrived in person, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

The emperor stood on the high platform and talked incessantly. Fu Ling had never thought that one day he would be able to meet the emperor with such a background. He couldn't help but feel a little awe and looked carefully among the crowd.

The emperor was dressed in military uniform, with two shiny breastplates tied to his chest.

The emperor, who was the most powerful emperor, looked like an ordinary person. His temples were gray and his face was lined with wrinkles. However, the concubines who looked at him with admiration were all very beautiful, young and charming.

Speaking of the hunting ground in the suburbs of Beijing, which spent a lot of money to renovate the racecourse this year, the emperor waved his hand:

"Everyone can enjoy the horse racing. The brave winner will be rewarded heavily by me!"

As he spoke, the young eunuch beside him presented a prize.

The young eunuch lifted the red silk that was covering it, revealing a jade ring underneath. A bright light flowed through it, instantly making all the jewels and jadeite present look dim.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they could hear constant whispers.

From the intermittent sentences, Fu Ling learned that this jade ring was originally a treasured item of the former crown prince during his lifetime, and was brought into the palace during the catastrophe of the massacre in the Eastern Palace.

The late emperor doted on the late crown prince and bestowed this rare jade on his only legitimate son, ordering the best craftsman in the imperial city to carve this jade ring.

When the late crown prince was alive, this jade yuan could command his troops. Although it no longer has this ability, it is still a very precious item.

The children of various aristocratic families have been accustomed to seeing rare treasures since childhood, but they are all jealous and eager to try them. Although some ministers in front of them are old and have no hope of competing, they are clever and take the opportunity to flatter the emperor and make generous moves.

The emperor didn't seem to care about this jade, and sneered, "It's just a dead thing for sinners."

The sound of "sinner" seemed to wake up Fu Ling. Although she didn't understand what happened in the battle for the right to inherit the throne, she knew that the General's Mansion was made things difficult by the emperor because of his surrender to the former prince. Xiao Chengyou had been on the border all these years. This is where the suffering he suffered began.

Thinking of this, Fu Ling couldn't help but look at Xiao Chengyou's expression.

His eyes were as sharp as knives, fixed on the jade jade. His usually cold and handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, and the wind and rain seemed to be roaring in his eyes. The condensed chilling air made people shudder. .

Fu Ling instantly withdrew his eyes, and Leng Buding shivered in fright.

She lowered her head and saw that Xiao Chengyou's hands were clenched into fists under his sleeves, and his joints were blue from the exertion.

Fu Ling had never seen Xiao Chengyou surrounded by such intense emotions, and was confused for a moment, but the next moment he saw Xiao Chengyou mount his horse, whipping the horse and galloping towards the horse farm.

Only a pile of dust remained, carrying grass leaves kicked up by the horse's hooves, swirling around her feet, and took a long time to fall to the ground.

Many young and strong scion of noble families also rushed to the racecourse, hoping to win the prize. The women who stayed behind gathered together and sat down to chat.

Fu Ling was the Crown Prince's consort, and her seat was arranged according to the order of family, very near the front. Many noble ladies from noble families came forward to talk to her, wanting to inquire about the situation in the General's Mansion, but she just brushed them off, being very smooth and flawless.

After finally getting rid of the entanglement, Fu Ling took the opportunity to take a breath. Before he walked far, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, "Where are you going, sister?"

Fu Ling turned around and saw Fu Huan approaching.

She was dressed like a woman, with her hair in a bun high on her head, and the emerald jewelry on her temples was too flamboyant.

"Second sister got married so soon?" She was not afraid of Fu Huan and answered with raised lips.

"The Crown Princess doesn't know what to do now," Fu Huan was very proud, with his head held high like a big white goose, "I will soon marry Lin Qing, a third-grade imperial censor."

Although she has a distinguished mother's family, her father is a weakling who cannot stand up to the wall. Ever since Fu Ling married into a high-ranking family, she has been going crazy with jealousy day and night. She has been pestering Mrs. Ning to win a family as good as the General's Mansion. A good marriage.

Although Mrs. Ning was a powerful influencer when she was young, now her father has become an official at an advanced age and cannot help her with her marriage. Mrs. Ning was so troubled by her that she had no choice but to come up with a side idea——

Lin Qing, the imperial censor, was obsessed with his official career. He had only a few concubines at home, and his wife was not favored either. Mrs. Ning opened the door and allowed Fu Huan to attend Lin Qing's eldest son's full moon party. His wife was in confinement, and Lin Qing was unbearably lonely and aphrodisiac. Fu Huan easily obtained the medicinal wine.

The two hooked up from then on, and soon Fu Huan became pregnant with a child, who was accepted into the family by Lin Qing.

Fu Huan could not help but feel happy as he recalled this incident.

Even if she is a concubine, at least she is the favored concubine of a high-ranking official, which is far better than her sister marrying a sixth-grade civil servant, euphemistically saying she is married for love.

She glanced at Fu Ling, raised her head and said, "Don't blame me for not advising you. When you see me in the future, stay out of my way."

After saying that, Fu Huan lowered his voice and looked ferocious, "I am pregnant with Master Lin's child in my belly, and it was not caused by a little kid like you."

Fu Ling remained silent, but his face couldn't help but turn a little pale.

Although she didn't know much about court affairs, she had heard of the reputation of Imperial Censor Lin Qing.

Although Lin Qing is a bit old, he has been favored by the emperor for many years. He has been a powerful figure in the court for several years. He is a tough guy who can walk around in the capital, and even the princes respect him.

She knew that Fu Huan had been favored by Madam Ning since she was a child, and her mediocre kung fu was not good enough. How could Fu Huan marry such an important figure?

Just as I was thinking about it, a voice shouting suddenly came from not far away.

In a blink of an eye, the sound of horse hooves could be heard, and several figures rushed out from the horse farm like a formation of geese.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it, and they were all curious about who would come out on top in such a fierce competition and get the coveted prize.

Fu Ling also looked over there.

Amid the rolling dust, she recognized the familiar figure.
