Chapter 325 Hunting
Chapter 325 Hunting
"What a sly old fool! The emperor is leading the people hunting, which is a matter of national importance, yet you are reporting illness to me?"
Qin Zhi snorted coldly and threw aside the approved sick note from the Minister of Revenue Liu Shuofang.
The most important affairs of a country are sacrifices and military affairs, and hunting is a military exercise held every year by the emperor and his people.
In previous years, Qin Zhi only took civil and military officials with him on hunting trips, but this year was different. In addition to the civil and military officials, Qin Zhi also planned to bring the princes.
To this day, the princes have not started to practice martial arts, but the older ones have already learned how to ride horses and shoot arrows, so Qin Zhi wants to take them out for a walk.
Let's see his baby, growing up healthily.
The prince's first year participating in hunting activities is of great significance.
It’s so nice that everyone is here, why is this old man absent?
"Your Majesty, do you want to find two people to carry Grand Tutor Liu?"
Seeing that His Majesty complained but had already approved Liu Shuofang's sick leave, Zhang Deli started joking.
Qin Zhi looked up at Zhang Deli and thought for a moment.
"It's not impossible."
"Your Majesty, I was just joking. Grand Tutor Liu is indeed old. If he gets hurt from running around, his old bones will probably fall apart."
"Okay, go and announce the decree."
Regarding the hunting trip, Qin Zhi wanted to take the crown prince along, but he only mentioned it to the officials who arranged the hunting trip and a few princes.
There were different opinions on whether to bring the empress and several young princes along, and it was only now that Qin Zhi had someone draft an edict.
Of course he brought everything with him. He was an old hand at sharing everything equally and keeping a balance.
Regarding the pregnant Concubine Fu Mengli and Concubine Lan Alanruo, Qin Zhi expressed that he trusted Lu Shanggong's spiritual spring water and their respective physiques.
It's just a moderate amount of exercise, and concubines don't have to go on horseback hunting. If the child might be lost because of this, it's better not to be born.
This cruel world is not very suitable for its fragile self.
Only the strong are worthy of being his children.
Qin Zhi, who thought he had enough children, was very arrogant. It was impossible for him to have no descendants. He had many more children than just a few kittens.
The prince's teeth are ranked up to twelve.
His father had only one son, and his grandfather had only two sons. The number of sons he had was four times the number of sons of his grandfather and father combined.
Qin Zhi was very proud.
It’s stable, it’s stable.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhang Deli immediately took the eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the harem with Qin Zhi's decree and told the ladies the good news.
------------
"Mingzhang, why did you bring Ma into the Jade Hall?"
When Fu Mengli woke up from her nap, she heard the palace servants come to report the bad news that the fifth prince had pulled a pony into the Yutang Palace, and that the damn horse had defecated in the plum forest outside the Yutang Palace.
Even though the palace servants cleaned up the horse's excrement in time, Fu Mengli was still very upset.
She didn't rush to wash and dress up. She just tied her hair aside and rushed out. She saw her son, the fifth prince Qin Mingzhang, shouting at her excitedly.
Fu Mengli became even angrier.
"Mother, look, isn't my pony so beautiful?"
The fifth prince Qin Mingzhang ignored the emotions in his mother Fu Mengli's voice and boasted excitedly.
"Drag him out. This palace's Jade Hall is not a stable."
Fu Mengli suppressed her anger and spoke softly.
"No."
When Qin Mingzhang saw that his mother wanted someone to pull his pony out as soon as she came up, he stepped on the eunuch's knee without thinking, got on the horse, and rode the pony to the back hall.
Before the mother and son could remain deadlocked over a pony for long, the eunuch arrived with the emperor's decree.
"I accept the decree."
Fu Mengli bowed.
Your Majesty, would you like to take her with you to hunt?
Fu Mengli touched her slightly bulging belly which had been pregnant for more than four months and sighed.
The fifth prince Qin Mingzhang held Fu Mengli's arm and said with a smile:
"Mother, I was thinking that you were pregnant with your sister and would not be able to go hunting with my father and me. I could not see my heroic figure on horseback, so I brought the horse back to Yutang Palace to show you. Don't be angry, mother!"
Fu Mengli sneered, rubbed Qin Mingzhang's cheek, and stood up.
"You are so clever. I have seen it, and I am not absent from the hunting. Can you pull your pony back to where it belongs?"
"can."
Qin Mingzhang cheered, rushed onto his horse, and rode his beloved pony out of the Yutang Palace, with a group of palace servants chasing after him.
Fu Mengli looked at his cheerful back, smiled slightly, shook her head, and went back to her room.
Although he is overbearing and a little naughty, he is still filial.
