Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage

200-201

Chapter 200: Hunting

The weather on the second day of the sixth month was wonderful. It was still raining intermittently the previous day but the sun was shining brightly the next day. Although there were muds in the mountain, the weather lately had been like that.

Luo Tan stretched out lazily. There were a lot of ice that were placed in the room so even though the summer days were long and hot, the room was still dry and refreshing.

The maid in the room smiled as she asked, "Young Lady want to go where to look today?"

Luo Tan looked at the small toys that were piled up to a small mountain, "I don't know. Will just go and ask Doctor Gao."

"Gentleman Gao has gone out today and will only return tomorrow night." The maid said, "He has let this servant inform Young Lady that if Young Lady wants to go out, this servant will follow along and some guards will also be called along, and buy whatever you fancy."

"Is there some matter?" Luo Tan said, "Is there patient for him to travel to?"

The maid smiled and did not answer.

Luo Tan waved her hands, "Since this is the case, then I will shop around casually."

She had arrived in Long Ye for more than a month and for these days, she was always with Gao Yang. Gao Yang said that medical practitioners were borderless and when he was young, he had experiences of travelling and had lived in Long Ye for a period of time. This residence in Long Ye was his and even though Luo Tan felt that these words were somewhat strange, she was not suspicious after everyone in the residence said as such.

That messenger that send the letter to Shen Miao was sent back by Gao Yang, saying that Shen Miao had agreed to bring Luo Tan along and would take good care of Luo Tan. One did not know how Gao Yang lied but afterwards the Shen family indeed did not come back.

The side of the Shen family was concealed and Luo Tan was thinking about it in her heart. After a few more days of playing in Long Ye, she would then look for Shen Miao and confess to everything. If now she were to say, she feared that Shen Miao and Prince Rui will send her back. She had not play or eat enough so how could she leave now?

Luo Tan walked out of the doors and when she walked to the courtyard, she heard some noises far away from the other side of the wall and asked the maid beside her, "What is outside that is so bustling?"

The maid smiled, "It is the Imperial Hunt today and it is the sixtieth year festival. His Majesty is also going to the hunting grounds to hunt and is currently followed by the Imperial army thus the commoners on the streets are cheering."

Luo Tan liked bustling scenes and thus she said, "Then let's also go and take a look. Can it be that one will be able to see His Majesty's heavenly appearance?"

That maid's expression changed slightly and she shook her head, "The streets are very crowded with people and moreover His Majesty is in the canopy and could not be seen."

Luo Tan was somewhat unenthusiastic and that maid smiled, "This servant will first prepare some snacks to eat during the journey. After a moment, this servant will accompany Young Lady to wherever one wants to go."

"You go then." Luo Tan said. After waiting for that maid to leave, Luo Tan sneaked out from the back doors and murmured, "It is not too much to watch from afar."

Her figure quickly disappeared from the courtyard.

After Shen Miao washed and groomed, she saw Xie Jing Xing change his clothes.

Because of the hunt today, he had worn a riding attire that was suitable for hunting. Narrow sleeves, high-necked collar, waistband strap, green boots with dark flower embroideries, making him look very neat and refreshing but because the riding gear was very fitting, he looked like an elegant noble gentleman.
