Two days later, Mrs. Wei sent Wang's mother over to officially inform Yu Nianniang that on the eighth day of the lunar month, Yu Nianniang would go with her when she was hunting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In ancient times, there was the meaning of "wax" and "hunting". Because at the end of the year, the crops have been harvested and sunned, the farming is idle, people go to the wild to hunt birds and beasts, used to sacrifice ancestors, worship the gods, to pray for longevity, avoid disasters and welcome auspiciousness, call it "Lap Sacrifice", to the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the eighth day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar is officially set as the "Laba Festival", in addition to drinking Laba porridge, people also organize hunting in the mountains, slowly, it becomes the nobles in the paddock hunting activities, in order to hunt birds and beasts to exercise the royal family and noble stomach!

In a blink of an eye, it is the day of hunting on the eighth day of the lunar month.

Yu Nianniang got up in the morning as usual and went for a walk first, and came back for breakfast after a walk, and after breakfast, she leaned on the pit to read. When it was time to leave, Mother Sun and Linglong waited for her to start dressing and changing.

She wore a narrow-sleeved grass green satin skirt inside, a silver-gray mouse down jacket on the outside, a grass-green butterfly ribbon tied around her waist, and a pair of silver-gray leather boots on her feet, and trousers tucked into leather boots.

The whole person looks heroic and beautiful!

The prince went hunting, and the security matters were arranged by Guanglu Siqing, as well as the lieutenant, but Wei Qiyu was a captain of the Yue Cavalry, so he naturally went to the paddock earlier to report.

Wei Qilin is the master of Zhan Shifu, Bo You can't get out of the way, and he can't go. Mrs. Wei felt that these were young people's activities, she was old and it was cold outside, so she also decided to stay in the house. And Mrs. Wei was even more busy and couldn't take a break.

The three mothers and daughters of the Li family had never seen the princes hunting, and they wanted to open their eyes, and the two sisters Wei Qiyu also wanted to go and see.

Therefore, the General's Mansion, except for Wei Qilin, Mrs. Wei, and Mrs. Wei, will all go to the enclosure on the outskirts of Beijing.

The paddock is ten miles away on the outskirts of Beijing.

Covering an area of thousands of hectares, the water and grass are abundant, the scenery is pleasant, and the dense forests in the endless paddock are like wild jungles. The undulating peaks are home to a myriad of prey, making young talents ready to move!

There are a lot of people who came today, and after sweeping it at will, Yu Nianniang saw a few familiar people.

Wang Lingying, the daughter of Wang Xingshi in the Ministry of Rites, Wang Lingyu, the daughter of Wang Xingyuan, the horse washing horse of Zhan Shifu, accompanied by Shi Yingxue and her brother Shi Yingliu, and many people Yu Nianniang did not know.

The people waited in the tent set up in the paddock, and after a while, they saw a two-horse carriage with a wide vermilion wheel and canopy driving into the paddock, followed by the guards with knives next to it, followed by a Mongolian horse covered in rabbit brown hair, and on the back of the horse sat a handsome young man.

Yu Nianniang heard someone next to her whispering: "I heard that the Mongolian horse that the second prince rode is the best horse among the Mongolian horses that the Mongolian tribe contributed to me before......"

Second prince?

The one sitting in the carriage in front of him is the eldest prince!

The Mongolian horse under the seat of the second prince is indeed good, with a strong physique, broad chest, long mane, thick skin and thick hair. Such Mongolian horses are trained to kick the head of a fox wolf with their hooves raised, and they are extremely brave on the battlefield.

Yu Nianniang couldn't help but turn her gaze to the carriage that had stopped Zhu Lunhuagai.

A young man of about fifteen years of age, thin and thin, with a woman-like skin, got out of the carriage, his facial features were upright, three-dimensional, his narrow eyes were warm and clear, and the corners of his mouth were as warm and soft as the sun today, and with the warmth of a man.

Someone immediately turned red!

Yu Nianniang's eyes searched for the crowd, and sure enough, she saw Chi Langyi standing not far behind the eldest prince.

Sure enough, it is Uncle Xiao, the eldest prince's eyes are exactly the same as Chi Langyi's, but the eldest prince's eyes are warm and soft, while Chi Langyi's eyes are cold and evil!

I heard that the eldest prince had a shortage in the womb, and after birth, the medicine jar was not separated, and the queen carefully raised it, and the imperial doctor entered the palace to check the pulse for three days, and prescribed a lot of medicine for recuperation, but the eldest prince's body was still not as good as the strong second prince.

The second prince has practiced martial arts since he was a child, not only is he strong and strong, but he is also good at riding and shooting, and although the eldest prince also has someone to teach martial arts, it is just a simple physical fitness.

The two are two years apart, the second prince is already as tall as the eldest prince, and he is stronger than the eldest prince, the two stand together, and the second prince looks more like a brother.

After the eldest prince came out of the carriage, an attendant ran up from behind and stood by the carriage to serve, when a six-year-old child dressed in a riding costume got out of the carriage.

This is the Three Princes!

The crowd came out of the tent and knelt down to salute.

"Zhongqing is flat." The eldest prince said in a warm voice. The third prince was well-behaved and beautiful, straightened up, and stood beside the eldest prince with a serious face on his small face.

The second prince in the back jumped off the horse in a beautiful posture, walked over with a horsewhip in his hand, and said, "Everyone is early!" The voice was marked by the obvious hoarseness of the man's voice change.

Everyone saluted the second prince again.

For the convenience of hunting, today everyone wears riding costumes. Except for those who do not go into the mountains to hunt.

In addition to Guanglu Siqing, there are also Wang Xingshi and Wang Xingyuan, Wei Hongshan, Wei Hongfeng, etc.!

There are a few female dependents, and the subordinates have placed tables and chairs in the shed, and carbon basins have been placed at the feet, and cloths have been placed around the shed, and those who don't want to hunt can sit here and drink tea and eat snacks.

The second prince looked at the people in the shed with a smile, and said to the eldest prince: "Brother Huang, my father didn't come today, why don't we come and compare who hunts more beasts?" ”

The eldest prince looked at him with a smile and said gently, "Okay." ”

"Brother Huang, you are not in good health, it is better to ...... like this" The second prince looked at the princes of the various mansions who were already ready to go: "Since it is everyone hunting, it can't just be a comparison between the two brothers, it is better for you and me to choose some people, and end up looking at which side hunts more, even if you win!" ”

The warm smile on the eldest prince's jade-like face: "Where's the color head?" ”

"Whoever loses promises to do one thing for the other party!" The second prince said.

Some people in the crowd had different colors on their faces, how could such a person look like a child with a thirteen-year-old mind?

Yu Nianniang glanced at Chi Langyi, who had an indifferent expression behind the eldest prince.

"Okay!" The eldest prince didn't seem to think there was anything wrong, and readily agreed: "I am the elder brother, I should accept it, the candidate, the second brother, you choose first!" “

"Thank you Brother Huang for your love." The second prince smiled coolly, looked at everyone, and asked, "Who wants to hunt with me today?" “

Among the people present, except for a few older adults who will not go into the mountains to hunt, Shi Yingliu, the son of Dali Siqing, Wei Bao and Wei Qian's father and son are all civilians, Geng Zhong's son Geng Youxiao is a lieutenant of Tunqi, Wu Houye's son Wu Shizi is an idle position, Wang Xingyuan's son Wang Jianguo and Wang Xingshi's son Wang Jianxing are all on errand in the provincial palace guards.

"I heard that the second prince is very powerful in riding and shooting, and it is my honor to hunt with the second prince today!" Wei Qian said with a smile.

The mother of the second prince, Concubine Tong Guifei, is Wei Bao's sister, and it is natural for Wei Bao's father and son to stand on the side of the second prince.

Now that it has been made clear that there are two factions, it is to pull people!

Wei Bao looked at Wei Qiyu on the side with a smile, and said, "Wei Ergongzi is the captain of the Yue Cavalry, why don't you let us see it today!" “

Wei Qiyu respectfully saluted to the eldest prince and the second prince: "I am willing to serve the eldest prince and the second prince!" "The answer is watertight!

The second prince raised his eyebrows, glanced at the other people who were respectfully preparing to be deployed, and said to the eldest prince: "Brother Huang, why don't you come first!" “

"Second brother first." The eldest prince still said with a soft face.

"Then you're welcome." The second prince said with a smile: "There is such a powerful person as Chi Shizi by the eldest brother's side, how can I pick two powerful helpers, it is better to ......" personally ordered Wei Qiyu and Geng Youxiao.

Others are assigned at will.

In this way, in addition to Chi Langyi, there are also Chi Langshuo and Chi Langhe, all of whom are from Ning'an Houfu. In addition, there is Shi Yingliu, the son of Dali Siqing.

And in addition to Wei Qian and Wei Bao, there are also Wei Qiyu and Geng Youxiao by the side of the second prince.

In the end, the second prince looked at the third prince and said with a smile: "Third brother, which side are you standing on?" “

The third prince looked at the second prince with round eyes, and then looked at the eldest prince.

"Third brother!" The eldest prince suddenly smiled and looked at the third prince and said, "You are the youngest, don't go to the depths, it's not safe." Take the guards to play on the edge of the paddock for a while, and when you are tired, you can go back to the shed to rest. “

The third prince looked at the eldest prince and grinned: "Okay, then I'll follow the eldest brother." “

The eldest prince had a slight surprise. The second prince showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

It was only at this time that Yu Nianniang noticed that the person standing behind the third prince was somewhat familiar. She didn't have time to think about it, the eldest prince and the second prince had already stepped on.

"Big brother, although this is just entertainment, I won't show mercy!" The second prince said to the eldest prince with a smile, and the wanton laughter was hoarse and ugly. Then he waved his whip and galloped into the woods, followed by the generals of the guards.

The eldest prince smiled and watched the second prince enter the forest, slowly urging the horse forward, faster and faster, faster and faster, the people behind followed closely, and soon there was no crowd and the sound of horses' hooves.

Those who stayed there and watched with some pity craned their necks.

Yu Nianniang walked to Wei Hongshan's side, and a middle-aged man in a green robe stood beside him.

"How?" Wei Hongshan looked at Yu Nianniang.

"As for who will win......" Yu Nianniang stretched out a finger and waved.

Wei Hongshan raised his eyebrows.

The middle-aged man on the side snorted coldly.

"What do you think?" Wei Hongshan asked politely.

Yu Nianniang looked over in surprise.

Mr. Qingshi ignored Yu Nianniang's surprised gaze, straightened his robe a little arrogantly, and said disappreciably: "Of course there are winners and losers in hunting!" “

The eldest prince is weak, but Chi Langyi is not an ordinary person; And the second prince himself is good at riding and shooting, and Wei Qiyu and Geng Youxiao are both military generals, and it is easy to beat a few wild deer pheasants!

"Divination is not so simple, don't think that it is good to look at something, so you can parrot it, and you have to learn it yourself!" Mr. Qingshi looked in the direction of Lin Zi and said disdainfully.

Yu Nianniang ignored him and turned around and went to the back.

The three princes began to hunt, and the adults sat in their respective positions, but fortunately a lot of carbon basins were placed in the shed, so that they did not feel too cold.

The ladies and girls sat together and chatted, discussing whether the eldest prince would win or the second prince to win today, when suddenly someone noticed a petite figure riding a brown mare slowly into the woods.

Lee's mouth opened wide in surprise.

"She can ride a horse?" Wei Qijiao looked incredulous.

Li shook his head, even Wei Hongshan and Wei Hongfeng were surprised, obviously no one here knew that Yu Nianniang could ride a horse.

There is no rule that women cannot participate in the paddock hunting, but it is very eye-catching that only one woman in the field, Yu Nianniang, entered the forest.

An adult asked, "Who is that girl?" “

Wei Hongshan had no choice but to hold back the unhappiness in his heart and explain. frowned and glared at Yu Nianniang's back.

He asked her to do divination instead of playing. Moreover, hunting in the paddock is also dangerous. Yu Nianniang followed into the forest without authorization, Wei Hongshan and the others of course felt that she had another purpose, what was that purpose, naturally otherwise, it must be Wei Qiyu.

Wei Qijiao angrily pointed to Mother Sun and Linglong behind the crowd, and asked angrily: "How can you girls ride horses?" “

Mother Sun and Linglong looked innocent: "The girl could have ridden a horse!" “

Ten years ago, in the Northwest War, the Turks killed a lot of people on the border of the Celestial Empire, coupled with the so-called troubles caused by the remnants of the former dynasty, Old Lady Yu saw with his own eyes that some people were chased by the Turks on horseback, playing and playing to death.

Later, he made a rule in the Yu Mansion that the master of the Yu Mansion must be able to ride a horse, and the servant maid who serves him must also be able to ride a horse.

Therefore, not only Yu Nianniang, but also Mother Sun and Linglong can also ride horses.

It's just that the girl said that this time she didn't need them to follow. That's why Linglong stayed in the shed boringly with Mother Sun.

After getting along for so long, she didn't even know that Yu Nianniang could ride a horse, Wei Qijiao felt that her IQ was simply fooled by Yu Nianniang, and her eyes were about to breathe fire when she stared at Mother Sun. Fortunately, the Li family was calm enough to stop Wei Qijiao in time!

Wei Qijiao whispered in Wei Qixue's ear: "She has been hiding it from us, and I don't know what she has in mind, second brother, don't be deceived by her." “

The voice was just enough for Wei Qiyan on the side to hear.

Wei Qiyan pursed her lips, how could she not guess Wei Qijiao's thoughts? Even if Yu Nianniang enters the forest and finds the second brother, it doesn't matter, there are no eyes in the knife and arrow, even if Yu Nianniang won't have anything to do, but the second brother has a task now, and he doesn't have time to pay attention to her!

These are all the second brother's affairs, he will handle it himself, and it is not her turn to interfere!

It's just that this time she was sure that Wei Qijiao didn't like Yu Nianniang very much, and she really wanted to know why Wei Qijiao didn't like Yu Nianniang so much, and what grievances were there between the two!

The royal hunting ground is different, not only the land is vast, the mountain peaks are undulating, continuous, Yu Nianniang rode a horse and ran for a long time, and finally a river appeared in front of her, and a wild deer was drinking water next to the shallow water.

She picked up the bow that Wei Qiyu had prepared for her, drew an arrow from her back, and aimed at the wild deer!

Mrs. Yu not only asked someone to teach her horses, including archery and martial arts, but Yu Nianniang didn't like it at that time, thinking that these were things that men should do, and women should stay in the boudoir to play the piano and embroider, tracing words and drawing.

So, of course, the wild deer can't be shot! Instead, he was scared away.

Yu Nianniang jumped off the horse on the horse's back, tied the horse to the side of the tree, and threw away the bow and arrow in her hand.

Walk to the river and follow the fat green grass all the way.
