The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Chapter 167 A thrilling moment

That night, when Nanxiang fell asleep, she suddenly heard thunder rolling across the sky. The loud noises woke her up from her sleep.

Boom————

This was the loudest thunder she had heard in a while, even louder than the sound of artillery fire.

She thought of something, so she quickly stood up, put on a cloak, and walked towards the Lanyue Pavilion next door.

Seeing the two little ones still sleeping soundly, she finally felt relieved.

At this time, thunders kept exploding outside the house, making patches of light appear in the sky. At the same time, a drizzle began to fall, and it hit her cheeks like rain and mist.

The sound of rain falling on the trees made a crisp sound.

pat-

"Why do I always feel uneasy in my heart?"

Ever since Nanxiang was awakened by the thunder, she felt as if there was an unknown force pressing down on her heart like a heavy rock, making her feel very uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty! It's cold in the rain. You'd better go back to your room and rest as soon as possible. The prince and princess will be taken care of by this servant and Chunyue."

Caiyun saw Nanxiang standing outside the door of Lanyuexuan watching the rain and immediately reminded her softly.

Nanxiang looked back and gave her an affirmative smile, nodded slightly, and walked back to Wenyuexuan.

"Maybe I'm overly suspicious."

Shaking her head slightly, she returned to her bedroom and continued to sleep.

……

The next day, the morning light was dim, the sun rose in the east, driving away the dark clouds in the sky and ushering in a golden light.

After Nanxiang got up at 11:00 a.m., she started dressing up in the house. Today was the first day of hunting, and she didn't know how many wives of officials she would meet, so she had better dress appropriately.

After she was dressed up and walked out of the door, the yard was not only a little cooler and the ground was a little damp, but there was also a ray of sunlight shining on the trees in the yard, and the raindrops were sparkling with crystal clear light.

"The weather is nice right now."

Nanxiang glanced at the sky and came to Lanyuexuan.

Gu Yuchen and Gu Jinxuan were young and naturally did not participate in hunting. Concubines like them did not participate either. At most, they ate food made from the prey after hunting.

But even so, as heirs to the throne, the two little ones must dress up and attend the ceremony and cannot violate the rules and etiquette.

"Chen'er! Xuan'er! Why can't you get up?"

Nanxiang called out to Chunyue and Caiyun with a calm expression.

"Your Majesty! They usually don't get up at this time. The servants have already prepared warm water."

Caiyun blushed a little and explained immediately.

She had forgotten that this place was not like the imperial palace and that she could not follow the customs of the palace.

"Nothing! Let the two kids put on these clothes later."

Nanxiang handed a set of clothes wrapped in yellow cloth to Caiyun.

Caiyun just felt that it was a little heavy, at least heavier than ordinary clothes.

"Mother, what is this?"

"Shh!"

Nanxiang made a gesture to keep quiet.

Caiyun understood what he meant and immediately shut her mouth and put her clothes away.

This piece of clothing is actually a soft leather jacket that Nan Xiang brought specially for the two little ones. She added a lot of special materials to it, making it very soft, smooth and sturdy, but it is a little heavier than ordinary clothes.

However, it is difficult for ordinary swords and spears to pierce it.

There is no other way. We need to be more cautious in the hunting ground where there are many knife handles and weapons.

After a long time, Nanxiang brought the two boys to the hunting ground's exclusive seat for concubines.

At this time, there were already many concubines sitting on the seats.

There are restrictions on the concubines who can participate in the hunting party this time. Those who have not slept with the emperor before cannot come, and those whose rank is lower than that of a noble lady cannot come.

Therefore, there are less than ten concubines this time.

Concubine Huang, Concubine Wang and others must have come, as well as Noble Lady Shangguan and Noble Lady Leng.

When he saw Nanxiang and the prince and princess beside her, he immediately stood up and saluted.

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine!"

"Meet the prince! Princess!"

After all, the two kids are young, so they also have to pay respect to their elders.

"Chen'er greets the concubine mother and the concubine mother!"

Xuan'er has met the concubine mother and the concubine mother!

The two of them then bowed to the virtuous concubine and the royal concubine who had higher positions.

The virtuous concubine nodded with a smile.

Seeing this, Wangpin glanced at Yongan who was eating fruit and pulled the corner of her clothes.

Yongan immediately stood up and saluted Nanxiang.

"Yong'an greets the mother of the imperial concubine Shu! He greets the royal brother and sister!"

……

Because the queen was not here this time, Nan Xiang sat next to Gu Junshen.

Seeing Gu Junshen's eyes looking at her without any hesitation, Nan Xiang immediately frowned and glared at him, making her pretty facial features look more three-dimensional.

This made Gu Junshen smile repeatedly.

After a while, representatives of the officials' wives came to their corresponding seats.

Looking at the rows of seats, Nanxiang felt that it was more of an event for tasting prey than a hunting meeting.

After all, concubines like them do not appear in the show, and Prince Gu Yuchen is still young.

If Gu Junshen wanted to participate, that would be fine, but Nan Xiang looked at him sitting upright and it seemed that he had no intention of participating.

"Which of the beloved ones will be participating in the hunt this time?"

Gu Junshen raised his eyebrows with interest and looked towards the seats of officials below.

An official immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the son of the Marquis of Lingbei is participating!"

"The eldest son of Marquis Lin'an is participating!"

"The eldest son of the Grand Marshal is participating!"

……

Listening to the number of officials' sons reporting their numbers, Gu Junshen nodded slightly. They were all good men of his Northern Dynasty.

As the sons of officials who were participating in the hunt were ready to go, Gu Junshen gave an order and announced the start of the hunt.

Before the start, he also threatened that whoever harvested the most prey would receive a reward, and the top five would all receive rewards, but the rewards would be slightly different depending on the ranking.

He would also give corresponding rewards to the sons of officials who participated.

Gu Junshen looked at Gu Yuchen's surprisingly bright eyes, then turned sideways and asked, "Chen'er, are you interested in hunting?"

Gu Yuchen glanced at Nanxiang's face, mustered up his courage and said to Gu Junshen, "Father! I want to participate! But I am still young, so I need to wait a few more years."

"Haha! Then the Emperor will be waiting for you!"

Nanxiang just curled her lips, raised her hands to drink tea and food on the table, elegant and casual, as if she didn't care about anything.

It’s a good thing that Gu Yuchen wants to participate in hunting, which shows that he has the spirit of fighting. Nan Xiang is so happy that she can’t contain herself.

Nanxiang raised her glass and was about to drink.

Suddenly, with a whoosh sound, an arrow carrying a fierce murderous intent came rapidly towards her seat from an unknown direction.

call out--

She was startled and immediately pushed the two little ones away and hid to the side.

"hide!"

Zheng——

The arrow quickly passed her cheek and hit the wooden stake where she was originally located.

'Someone wanted to kill her'

Nanxiang's face turned pale as she covered her scratched face. She was still unsure, but fortunately she was careful and paid attention to her surroundings at all times.

Right now, when everyone let down their guard, someone actually took advantage of this gap to launch an ambush.

"Someone come and catch the assassin!"

Gu Junshen stood up with a look of surprise and anger, but when he saw that Nanxiang and the two kids were fine, he immediately felt relieved.

Shouting to the guards and soldiers around him.

Nanxiang's heart rate was extremely high at this time.

It should be noted that the hunting ground is a heavily armed place. If someone actually committed a crime, there must be someone who instigated it or provided convenience.

"Who is it? Who is it?"
