Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator

Chapter 300: Spring Hunt (Part 2)

Chu Lian and He Changdi's new residence, the newly named Anyuan Estate, was close to Prince Wei's Estate. It was only about fifteen minutes via horse carriage. For walking, it would also take about fifteen minutes via a shortcut.

Thus, Royal Princess Duanjia was excited about Chu Lian's move, and even Prince and Princess Wei were very happy about this.

On the second day after Chu Lian moved into her new residence, she sent out invitations for a housewarming party to her close friends.

Invitations were sent out to Princess Wei, Royal Princess Duanjia, Lady Yang, Old Duchess Zheng, House Ying's Madam Rong, and more.

The lively celebration lasted for most of the day.

At this time, Manager Qin returned from the northern border with his men. The shopfront on Zhuque Avenue that He Changdi had given her was in the middle of renovations. It was expected to be ready for business in about half a month.

At the end of April, the emperor suddenly announced his plans for a spring hunt at the outskirts of the city.

The palace worked swiftly. The list of attendees for the spring hunt was confirmed in just three days.

That evening, He Changdi left work earlier and returned home to tell Chu Lian about the spring hunt.

The Anyuan Estate was located close to Prince Wei's Estate, so Chu Lian didn't really need He Changdi to inform her about the spring hunt. She had already heard the news from Princess Wei.

Chu Lian knew how to ride a horse, but she didn't know anything about hunting, let alone archery. It would already be considered pretty good if her arrow could even scrape her target...

However, during dinner, He Changdi told her that her name was on the list of attendees...

Chu Lian set down her chopsticks and made an exclamation of shock. She curiously asked, "Weren't the officials prohibited from bringing their wives and daughters to the spring hunt in past years?"

There was nothing she could do there even if she went. Was she simply going for a sightseeing trip while the others went hunting?

When she thought of that scenario, Chu Lian was speechless to the point that she wanted to roll her eyes.

Although He Changdi also felt it was strange, the invitees for the spring hunt had already been confirmed. Thus, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to reject the offer in front of the emperor by himself.

He Changdi picked up some blanched lettuce and placed it into her bowl.

For some reason, Chu Lian really liked to eat vegetarian dishes recently. On the contrary, she didn't really want to eat meat dishes because the greasy taste made her feel sick.

She watched as He Sanlang picked up the vibrant green lettuce for her, and then obediently ate it.

In a pleasant voice, He Changdi continued to say, "This time, all ranked noble ladies of the imperial family are on the list. The emperor bestowed the title of Honoured Lady Jinyi upon you, so it's not that surprising for your name to be there."

Chu Lian nodded. After much deliberation, that seemed to be the only reasonable explanation.

This seemed to be the case when she looked at the list. Royal Princess Duanjia, Feudal Princess Anmin, and Imperial Princess Leyao were all on the list of attendees for the spring hunt this time.

While they were eating, Chu Lian suddenly thought of another matter. "Why isn't there any news regarding my fifth sister's wedding?"

He Changdi didn't expect her to mention that matter out of the blue.
