On the day of the autumn hunt, I got up before dawn.

Cui Nong was helping me comb my hair in a bun, and Chloe came in with Ruyi, each holding a tray in her hand. When I saw Ruyi, I sneered: "Your injury has just healed, just a few more days of rest!"

Ruyi pursed her lips and smiled: "The servant can't be idle." Besides, it's just a skin injury, and it's okay to do it. As he spoke, he raised the tray in his hand a little higher, "Zhao Xun, is it okay to wear these two dresses to the paddock?"

When I looked back, there were two sets of crimson dresses, the cuffs and skirt corners were trimmed with black gold thread, one for regular clothes and one for Hu clothes. He smiled and said, "This color is rare." ”

Ruyi said with a smile: "Your Highness asked the East Palace Jialing Temple to prepare your travel needs the day before yesterday." The treasurer ordered Cheng to ask the servants to help pick it, and the servants thought the color was beautiful. Ling Cheng also praised it, saying that it is late autumn now, and the color of this dress is very suitable for this season. Xihaizi Hunting Garden is only afraid that it will be colder than in the palace, and these two sets of dresses are just right. ”

I laughed, "It's hard for you to think so thoughtfully." ”

Ruyi smiled and added: "I heard that the official eunuchs in Kyoto are also popular with this thicker color this year." ”

Kou Er also came over to make fun: "Zhaoxun, do you like the head face that the maid helped you choose?"

"I like it, I like everything Chloe picks. I laughed as I raised my hand to pick out a beaded auspicious moire gold bib from the tray and handed it to Cui Nong, who was dressing me behind me.

A few people talked and laughed for a while, and after the grooming was finished, I turned my head sideways to look at the bronze mirror. The beads on the forehead of the golden bun swayed, and the warm pearlescent flowed.

Leaving Zhan Lu to take care of the affairs of the Huiyin Palace, he took the three of them to the royal enclosure in the western suburbs of Kyoto - Xihaizi Hunting Garden.

When the curtain is lifted, the sky is high and the clouds are far away. Beyond the platform of the palace is an open wilderness and continuous mountain forest, and in the distance of the mountain forest is a wide natural water, with vast smoke and waves, and occasional water birds flying.

The royal flags in the suburbs were hunting without any restraints, and the copper bells hanging under the cornices at the corners of the palace swayed back and forth, making a tinkling and ding sound.

"Xiaoguan!" the sound of horses' hooves came, and Sheng Yao urged the horse to the front of the car. Purple-robed and lightly armored, he turned over and dismounted, and hugged me from the car with his arms outstretched.

"Xihaizi Hunting Garden is not big, but the sky is moist, you can chase deer, shoot rabbits, and you can also release eagles to hunt geese. When my father is healthier, there will probably be an autumn. At that time, it can take you to the Yue Tingle Hunting Garden in the north. The paddock there is bigger and more expansive. ”

I smiled and ran a few steps into the wind, and my sleeves were filled with wind. Looking back at Shengyao and smiling, "It's good here." ”

Sheng Yao's eyes were dyed with a smile, and his words were doting: "It's good if you like it." I'm going to my father's side, and you can walk around the palace yourself. If you are bored, you can go to Concubine Dingniang to talk. This time, I accompanied the five emperor brothers, and the queen mother and the concubine did not come to the wedding ceremony of the seventh brother, and she was the only one in the palace who came with her father. After a few more words, Fang took his entourage to Emperor Wei's side.

Seeing him go away, I smiled and said to Cuinong and Coo'er: "I learned how to ride a horse in Zizizhuang in the first month, and it can come in handy now." ”

Kou Er clapped her hands happily and said, "Zhaoxun, quickly take the servants with you." It's so big here, it's going to be fun to run around on a horse!" Cui Nong also smiled on the side, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

I was also so happy that I couldn't help but spin around twice in the same place in the posture of Hu Xuan Dance.

At this time, Ruyi stepped forward and persuaded: "Zhaoxun, there are also officials accompanying you, you have to pay attention to some royal manners." After speaking, he motioned for me to look in the direction of the east side hall next to the platform of the palace.

Over there is the convoy of the courtiers who accompanied Emperor Wei this time.

Changruo is impressively listed.

His wedding is imminent, but he didn't expect to come with Emperor Wei.

However, the wishful reminder was timely, and there was something wrong with my appropriate behavior. So he straightened his sleeves and went to his lodgings in the palace.

After a cup of tea, an attendant came to invite him. The guards have completed the siege in the hunting ground, and Wei Di and his party are already on the platform.

I changed into a crimson dress, and walked from my residence to the platform of the main hall of the palace with Cui Nong and Ruyi. When I walked to the bottom of the imperial steps, I saw that dozens of elk had been driven from the mountains and forests to the wilderness in front of the platform by the guards who had surrounded them layer by layer, and the dust was raised in the sky, mixed with the sound of tigers roaring and wolf howling.

I shuddered.

A guard holding a guard flag on his side muttered to himself in surprise: "When did the hunting garden on the outskirts of Beijing actually raise these fierce beasts?"

And Sheng Yao, the Five Princes and the King of Wei with their respective personal guards, prancing horses and whips, holding longbows, are shooting in the field.

Halfway up the stairs to the platform, I suddenly heard a scream in the paddock, and I stood on the steps and looked down, and I couldn't help but look at it—a tiger with colorful fur was leaping up and pounced on Shengyao on horseback!

In an instant, Sheng Yao bent his bow and shot at the tiger.

Whoosh –

Three arrows in a row, right in the tiger's neck!

The guards around cheered.

The tiger raised its head and roared, and was furious with ferocity, and quickly pounced towards Shengyao.

Sheng Yao pulled out his immediate saber and smashed it on the tiger's head with the back of the knife with his backhand, and the tiger's castration suddenly stopped. However, in an instant, he flew up again. Sheng Yao shook the reins to drive the horse away from the tiger's claws, circled behind the tiger, and slashed at the tiger's neck.

The tiger screamed in grief, and after falling to the ground, it spasmed a few times and did not move.

At this time, all the guards in the encirclement thundered with joy, raised their spears in unison, and shouted: "Prince Chitose! Chitose ......."

Looking at it from a distance, Shengyao's chest rose and fell, and he was slightly wheezing, obviously fighting with the tiger too hard just now, and he was a little out of strength at this time. But he killed a tiger by himself, and he didn't hurt his fur, so he was naturally proud. With a smile on his face, he raised his saber and slashed through the air, greeting Emperor Wei in the stands on this side.

The head of Wei Di's approval.

At this moment, something happened abruptly.

Two more gray wolves, one left and one right, pounced on Shengyao at the same time.

The surrounding guards had seen Sheng Yao saluting Emperor Wei before, and they all retreated some distance. At this moment, it is too late to rescue.

Sheng Yao slashed a wolf with his sword, but the wolf on the other side couldn't avoid it no matter what!

The wolf's fangs shone coldly in the sunlight and went straight to Sheng Yao's throat.

It was too late, and then quickly, a man urged the horse forward from the side, but before the horse was in front of Shengyao, the man had already jumped up from the horse and pounced on the wolf. Grabbing the wolf's hind legs with both hands, he threw himself to the ground. The wolf rolled on the ground and landed on all fours, raising its head and howling.

The man also fell to the ground.

It's the Five Princes!

At the last moment, he saved Shengyao.

At this time, one man and one wolf confronted each other.

The wolf's howl fell, and the wolf howl sounded in the mountains and forests in the distance, and the distance and the near were harmonious. The wolf bared its teeth and pounced on the five princes.
