Transmigrator meets Reincarnator

Chapter 346 to 350

Feudal Princess Anmin's reply was so light that even Prince Jin couldn't hear what she said.

He turned his head, catching sight of Sima Hui's tall figure from the corner of his eyes. His gaze rested there for a moment before he shifted it away.

When the Chengping Emperor arrived, dressed in a dark navy riding habit, everyone respectfully bowed or bobbed in welcome.

Due to their status, Chu Lian and Sima Hui were positioned in the outer rings of the entourage.

The emperor was surrounded by so many of his courtiers and nobles that Chu Lian could only see the top of his head from where she was standing.

While the two of them were bent at the waist, Sima Hui asked in a strange tone, "Lian'er, why does it feel like His Majesty is looking our way?"

Chu Lian didn't believe her and rolled her eyes in amusement.

"There are so many people around, why would His Majesty look at us? I wasn't even expecting to be invited. I'm not really related to the imperial family after all, and my title is the lowest-ranked Honoured Lady."

Chu Lian's words made Sima Hui frown. "Lian'er, make sure you don't leave my side later."

This was indeed a little out of the ordinary. Chu Lian didn't have any more knowledge of what was to come. It would be best to be careful in everything she did.

Once the officials from the Ministry of Rites finished the opening ceremony for the spring hunt, the emperor led all the participating members off in a grand procession.

Chu Lian and Sima Hui were riding near the middle of the large group, together with many of the other noble ladies.

Although Royal Princess Duanjia wanted to ride with the two of them, she had no choice but to ride up front with Princess Wei, Imperial Princess Leyao, and the rest of the imperial family members due to her special identity.

At the back of the group were the carriages holding their luggage and servants.

The imperial hunting grounds were located in the outskirts of the capital, so it wasn't too far away. They would likely arrive before 2pm.

He Changdi, Xiao Bojian, Heir Zheng, along with the various princes, nobles, and young noble sons all followed by the emperor's side.

Their proximity to the emperor was normally arranged by seniority and rank, but for some reason, the emperor had specially picked He Changdi to be by his side today.

Since the emperor had named him personally, He Sanlang had no choice but to accept. He controlled his mount and stayed at least half a horse's length behind the emperor. The emperor didn't speak at first, he simply remained silent with a cool and stony expression on his handsome face.

"He Sanlang!"

"Your Majesty, this humble official is here."

The edges of the emperor's lips curved upwards. "It's rare for us to have this chance to talk. Tell us of the sights and scenes of the northern border in Liangzhou."

He Changdi didn't dare to tarry in front of the emperor. After his experience in his past life, He Sanlang understood how the emperor was as a ruler.

He was clear with his rewards and punishments and ruled over the country with a fair hand. He could be deemed a wise ruler. He had a secret spy corps under his control that would seek out underground information for him and listened to his orders alone.

The identities of the emperor's spies were a mystery, and any information about the corps was deeply hidden. Even the crown prince had no clue about what the secret spy corps did.
