Stunning beauty, the hero of Collapse is happy again

Chapter 126: The Gloomy Eunuch and the Imperial Concubine (29)

Two months later, the weather gradually became warmer.

The emperor was overjoyed because he had a fifth prince and other concubines in the harem were pregnant.

With a wave of his hand, he prepared to hold a spring hunt for the emperor and his ministers to enjoy themselves together.

After receiving the news, all the palaces began to hurriedly make clothes and jewelry in the hope of catching the emperor's attention.

At night, Li Huaiyi entered Chaoyang Palace as scheduled and quietly went to take a look at his son.

Seeing that the little guy had opened his eyes a lot and was sleeping soundly, he turned and went into the inner hall.

Holding the lovely girl in his arms, Li Huaiyi's tense mind finally relaxed a little.

He sniffed the beautiful hair of the person in his arms and whispered:

"On the day of the spring hunt, stay where there are many people and try not to move around casually."

Ruan Guannan broke free from her arms and looked straight into his eyes. Li Huaiyi did not hide or avoid her and looked at her.

After a while, Ruan Guannan said solemnly:

"What are you planning?"

After she finished speaking, she paused, sighed and said:

"Forget it. I won't ask anymore."

After saying that, he wanted to turn around and get out of bed.

Li Huaiyi was startled and subconsciously tightened his grip on her wrist. His face turned pale and he said anxiously:

"Don't go!"

Ruan Guannan was stunned by his reaction, especially when she saw the deep fear hidden in his eyes, her heart suddenly softened.

She held the man's cheek, gently kissed his tightly pursed lips, and whispered:

"No, I'll get you something."

Li Huaiyi's eyes trembled slightly. He stood up, hugged her slender and soft waist, got out of bed, and went with her to get it.

Ruan Guannan had no choice but to direct him to the dressing mirror.

She reached into her purse and took out a amulet from it. Then she opened Li Huaiyi's clothes in front of him and put the amulet inside.

"This is the amulet I asked for. You and Ling'er each get one. You must carry it with you at all times, understand?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her lips were suddenly kissed by someone. The man's kiss was so passionate and unrestrained that it almost took away her breath in an instant.

After a long time, Li Huaiyi reluctantly let go of those sparkling lips and lowered his forehead to calm her restless heart and breathing.

"Jiao Jiao, soon, I will tell you everything I have."

*

The emperor set out, gongs were sounded to clear the way, and the power centers of Shengjing City all headed towards the spring hunting grounds.

Xiao Hong’s horse riding and archery skills were average, but no one dared to surpass him.

This seemed to give him some illusion, and he prepared to move confidently into the depths of the jungle.

Ruan Guannan originally wanted to take the opportunity to have a good horse ride, but because of Li Huaiyi's instructions, she could only ride the horse for a while among the crowd.

Apart from her, the most excited person was Princess Moya.

Ruan Guannan felt a little uncomfortable when he saw her smiling face which became much more genuine on the horse.

A princess and a general were trapped in the huge Shengjing city for the sake of their country. You can imagine her inner situation.

She exhaled, looked around comfortably, and suddenly met a pair of deep eyes.

Ruan Guannan paused, then nodded politely.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Cheng."

Xiao Cheng looked at the woman on the horse. She was so bright and beautiful in the hot sunlight that she looked even more beautiful and charming than the spring scenery.

He calmly withdrew his gaze and nodded indifferently.

At the moment they passed each other, he couldn't help but speak:

“Stay among the crowd, don’t go far away.”

After saying this, he flicked the whip and rode his horse towards the hunting party.

Ruan Guannan glanced at the man's back and felt very surprised.

In the afternoon, the army returned with a full load, and the one who got the most prey was Emperor Xiao Hong.

The evening dinner was also mainly based on hunted game. The various meats were cooked very delicately and deliciously. Ruan Guannan was very satisfied with the meal.

During the dinner, there was no lack of compliments for the emperor, and Xiao Hong was very interested in being photographed.

At this time, Concubine Xian suddenly raised the wine glass in her hand and said to the emperor with a smile:

"Your Majesty, on such a good day as today, I would like to ask Your Majesty to do something to add to the happiness."

Xiao Cheng's hands tightened instantly, and he looked at Concubine Xian with dark eyes.

Xian Fei ignored her son's angry glare and continued to speak with a smile:

"Cheng'er is already old enough to get married. Today, I, your Highness, dare to ask your Majesty to grant Cheng'er a marriage."

Xiao Hong was very interested. "Oh? Whose daughter caught the eye of Concubine Xian?"

The virtuous concubine smiled, looked in one direction and said:

"Your Majesty, this is Minister Xia's legitimate daughter, Xia Changle. This girl is kind and elegant, smart and intelligent, and I like her very much."

After saying that, he pointed it to Xiao Hong.

Minister Xia hurriedly took Xia Changle out of the line, knelt on the ground and saluted the two people at the top.

Xiao Hong was also quite satisfied. This man had helped him a lot when he was fighting for the throne.

He intercepted the letters that were being sent to the border for help at the time, clearing away many obstacles for him.

"Alright, let's give this Xia Changle to Cheng'er as his principal wife."

Shangshu Xia and Xia Changle were overjoyed and kowtowed quickly to express their gratitude.

The hands in Xiao Cheng's sleeves were almost broken, the flesh on his cheeks trembled slightly because of his extreme forbearance, and his lowered eyes were red as blood.

At this time, everyone looked at Xiao Cheng who was sitting still, including the emperor. Concubine Xian was so anxious that she kept winking at him.

Finally, Xiao Cheng stepped out and knelt heavily before the emperor, saying word by word:

"My son, obey your orders!"

The ministers' voices of congratulations came one after another, and Xia Changle was surrounded by the noble ladies, whose intention to please him was obvious.

This made Xia Changle, who was already arrogant, even more proud.

She glanced at Xia Luoning and Ruan Guannan covertly, and a flash of disdain and contempt flashed across her eyes.

So what if you are now in a glorious position? Aren’t you still a concubine of a higher status?

When she marries His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, she will be the royal consort! In the future...

Thinking of this, her heart became even hotter, and her eyes looking towards Xiao Cheng were full of admiration and expectation.

Xia Luoning noticed Xia Changle's gaze. She was too familiar with that gaze, which was nothing but contempt, disdain, and disgust...

Xia Luoning lowered her eyes and smiled, the gloom and coldness in her eyes almost shredded a person into pieces.

Xiao Cheng, who was being watched, had kept his head down since just now, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

After a long time, he raised his head and looked in a certain direction vaguely.

Seeing that the woman didn't even pay him any attention, Xiao Cheng's self-mockery and unwillingness in her eyes almost drowned him.

With the exception of a few individuals, everyone had a great time tonight.

By the time the banquet was over, almost everyone was a little drunk.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened.

Among the guards patrolling the surroundings, a group of people suddenly jumped up, raised their knives and shot straight at the highest position.

It was not until the man rushed to him that Xiao Hong reacted in horror and shouted loudly, "Protect the emperor."

The guards behind him rushed in and fought fiercely with the assassin, scaring the people around him and causing them to retreat one after another.

Ruan Guannan subconsciously looked at Li Huaiyi behind the emperor. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Li Huaiyi signaled her to go back.

Ruan Guannan frowned, but decided to follow his instructions and retreat.

What they didn't know was that their interaction was seen exactly by a third person.

Xiao Cheng stared solemnly at the woman who was gradually approaching, the shock and jealousy in his eyes almost impossible to conceal.

Before he could react, the woman was pushed hard by someone on the side and fell straight towards the fighting area.

The two men were shocked and subconsciously wanted to run in that direction.

But the woman instantly grabbed Xiao Cheng's arm, used the force to spin around and flew up, then kicked the person who pushed her hard towards an assassin.

No one saw this scene except Li Huaiyi and Xiao Cheng.

The assassin was suddenly knocked to the ground, completely stunned.

He reacted instantly, raised his knife and put it on the man's neck, threatening the guards loudly to stop.

Li Zhaoyi was about to collapse. She had never expected things to turn out like this. Her eyes were filled with fear and terror, and her legs were so weak that she could not stand.

The guards did not dare to act rashly and could only remain in a stalemate with the assassin.

One of the assassins took advantage of their inability to react and quickly flew over and slashed at the emperor in the distance.

Xiao Hong was so shocked that he fell to the ground as he stepped back, and could only watch the big knife coming towards him.

Li Huaiyi had a blank expression on his face until he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that the guards had run up to him and were ready to rescue him.

In an instant, Li Huaiyi moved

He quickly moved sideways in front of the emperor and blocked the sharp knife for him.
