In the afternoon, Zhao Defang followed Zhao Kuangyin out hunting, Jiao Wanwan originally wanted to go around, but she was too tired, she began to be overexcited a few days ago, and she didn't sleep well at night.

instructed Jin Mei and the others to guard the tent, and Jiao Wanwan simply lay on the bed and fell asleep. However, she didn't dare to sleep until night, Zhao Kuangyin was hunting on the first day, and there would be a barbecue conference at night, she couldn't miss it. It's not that I want to eat those barbecue or anything, but I have to give Zhao Kuangyin face.

So, in the middle of the afternoon, Jin Mei came over and called her up. Huang Mei brought the washing water over, Jiao Wanwan took a handful and patted it on her face, and she was excited: "This water is too cold, is it well water?" ”

Huang Mei smiled and nodded: "The princess Niangniang guessed it, isn't it well water?" Originally, the maid wanted to get some hot water, but I thought that the mother had just woken up, and she would be more sober if she used cold water. ”

Jiao Wanwan couldn't help but smile and said, "You are strange about planning, and you are not afraid of freezing your mother." ”

"The maid specially prepared a warm cloth towel." Huang Mei said with a smile, seeing that Jiao Wanwan finished washing, she hurriedly sent a cloth towel, and it was really warm and warm, covering her face, very comfortable, and she felt that her pores were about to open. Huang Mei handed over rouge gouache next to her, Jiao Wanwan has never liked to use these, even in modern times, she is mostly without makeup, and she is born with good skin. Now I use this rouge, in fact, it is a kind of cream, the prescription given by the imperial doctor, specially made, not only can whiten and moisturize, but also has a floral fragrance.

Jiao Wanwan smeared it, turned her head and asked, "The prince hasn't come back yet?" ”

"Haven't come back yet." Jin Mei passed by and replied casually: "Niangniang has slept for so long, is she hungry?" Would you like to have a snack or a cup of tea? The tea is brewed between the maid's incense, and it is just enough to enter at this time. ”

Since Jiao Wanwan married to the palace, the taste of this tea has changed, she doesn't like group tea, only loose tea. Although Jin Mei also had doubts in her heart, she thought that her mother didn't like group tea very much before, and now she just replaced all kinds of fruit sherup with loose tea, which is still acceptable.

"Have a drink." Jiao Wanwan said with a smile, took a sip of the teacup, and asked: "I drink too much of this tea, I always can't sleep at night, next time, let's get some flower bones or something, and make some flower tea." ”

Jin Mei was a little surprised: "Can this flower bone be made into tea?" However, the maid has less knowledge, and only heard that there is a dipterocarp incense to smoke tea leaves and make fragrant tea as a tribute, but I don't know that this flower bone can also be used to make tea. ”

Jiao Wanwan laughed dryly: "Isn't the use of spices just to get their fragrance?" Now that I use flower bones, the fragrance of the flowers has been preserved, and I think it is more appropriate to use them than spices. ”

"That's right, it's still a smart mother, a well-versed person, a maid with such a brain, but she won't think about these things at all." Jin Mei said with a smile, and was a little eager to try: "Although it is autumn, but in the generally lush woods, the flowers are relatively late, and there are chrysanthemums, why don't we go out and pick flowers another day and come back to try?" What does the mother think? ”

Jiao Wanwan shook her head: "I don't think so, originally we came to hunt, do you want to pick any flowers in the mansion?" Put the cart before the horse. Besides, there are a lot of people, and there is a lot of noise before they come out, not to mention Mrs. Hua Rui, it is the second princess who came to ask, what do you say? ”

Jin Mei hurriedly saluted and confessed: "It's the maid who didn't think about it properly." ”

"This matter is just waiting for us to go back, and we will do it slowly, and now that we finally come out, we naturally have to have a good time." Jiao Wanwan said with a smile, looking at the sky outside, it was still early, so she simply led Jin Mei and a few people to go around.

Such a pure and natural large forest is rare in modern times, and the green in the park is mostly carefully arranged, and where it is the same as here, flowers and trees are grown at will.

There are unknown birds chirping in the book, before going to sleep, I think this bird is really noisy, but now I wake up, but I feel that this bird is vibrant, bringing a noisy and prosperous forest to this big forest.

"This tree must be decades old, right?" Jiao Wanwan walked a few steps, raised her hand and touched the trunk, Jinmei and a few maids didn't know much, Hu Yong stepped forward and said with a smile: "The princess Niangniang guessed wrong, it's not just a few decades, it's nearly two hundred years, from the Great Chu period, it has been encircled as a royal enclosure, and it has been more than a hundred years since Houliang, Houjin, Houhan, and Houzhou." ”

Jiao Wanwan can't calculate how many years these things add up, in the history she has studied, most of the things she can remember are big dynasties like the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, such as this kind of with the latter characters, or other words, she can only have some impressions of the name, it is already very good, to say that understanding, it is limited to particularly famous people who have taken Chinese textbooks, for example, Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Jiao Wanwan was still a little amazed that this forest had existed for almost two hundred years, no wonder the trees had grown so tall.

"Isn't there anyone secretly cutting down a few trees or something?" Jiao Wanwan asked again, Hu Yong shook his head: "The royal enclosure, naturally not everyone can get close, and their own soldiers come to inspect and patrol every once in a while, if a number is cut down, it will be investigated." ”

You have to pay a fine, you have to pay a fine for planting trees, and if the circumstances are very strict, you have to go to jail.

After walking for nearly half an hour, Jiao Wanwan was a little tired, so she stopped and looked around: "The prince said that he was going to the west to hunt, but it is still far away?" ”

"If you're on horseback, you'll have to wait more than half an hour to get there." Hu Yong weighed it and said: "It's already a little late at this time, and in this wood, it's even earlier than it gets dark outside, princess, should we go back?" I'm afraid that after a while, the prince should come back. ”

Jiao Wanwan nodded, and didn't need the support of Jin Mei and the others behind her, she turned around and walked back majestically. It's a pity that I was too anxious to turn around, there were many dead branches and fallen leaves in the woods, and I stumbled all of a sudden, if it weren't for Jin Mei's quick eyes, they would almost fall on a big horse.

"Be careful." Huang Mei hurriedly said loudly, and while helping Jiao Wanwan to walk forward, she asked, "Why don't you go forward with the princess on your back?" It's been so long since you've been walking for a while, is the princess tired? ”

Jiao Wanwan waved her hand, she couldn't pull her face and let a delicate girl carry her back.

"It's okay, I was in too much of a hurry just now, so I stumbled." Jiao Wanwan patted their arms and motioned for them to let go of their hands, in order not to be ashamed, this is just to be cautious, and they don't dare to look around.

It took most of the day to walk back, but Zhao Defang and the others still haven't come back. Jiao Wanwan didn't think about it before she went out, she was wearing embroidered shoes, and now she came back, a pair of shoes is no longer the same, dirty is secondary, the embroidered beads on it or something, some of them have been hooked, and two or three pearls have fallen, it seems that they can't be worn.

Jiao Wanwan was very distressed, a pearl is so expensive, it can be used for a period of time when it is ground into pearl powder. But she didn't dare to show this distress, the original body is really rich and raised out of the little lady who doesn't know the world, she can't suddenly turn the original body into a lady from a small family who has never seen good things.

"I didn't bring a few pairs of shoes with me, so it's a pity." However, in the end, she couldn't hold back, Jiao Wanwan sighed, and instructed Lamei: "Find out the boots I prepared before, and I will wear boots in the future." ”

Lamei smiled and asked, "Lady, the boots look better with the riding clothes, are you also ready to wear the riding clothes?" ”

Jiao Wanwan thought for a moment and nodded: "Then it's all ready, I want to go out to ride a horse in Ming'er, even if I don't hunt, I have to walk around and have a look, I can't wear a skirt, Ming'er's clothes and shoes, prepare an extra set, you can take it with you." ”

Lamei answered, and was talking, when she heard the sound of inviting An to salute outside, and when she looked up, Zhao Defang opened the tent and came in, the sky was a little dark, but she couldn't hide Zhao Defang's beauty, and she was very heroic and tall in a riding suit. If it was the original, it would be a literary immortal with wide sleeves and fluttering, like Lu Dongbin, chic and graceful. Now, it's like a martial immortal, Erlang God, who is not angry and self-righteous.

"What did you do in the afternoon?" Jiao Wanwan was fascinated, Zhao Defang had already walked up to her, raised her hand and rubbed her hair: "Have you gone out for a walk?" Have you had dinner? Are you hungry at this time? ”

"I took someone outside in the afternoon." Jiao Wanwan hurriedly got up and helped him unbutton his clothes, although the riding clothes made people stand tall and heroic, they were not very comfortable to wear for a long time, and they felt a little restricted, so they had to change into their regular clothes first.

"Dinner is waiting for you to come back and use it together, besides, I slept for a long time, and I still don't feel hungry, but you, can you have a harvest this afternoon?" Hanging up the coat with a smile, and carrying the robe for him to change into, Jiao Wanwan asked with a smile: "Daddy and second uncle, there are also gains, right?" Isn't it time to celebrate in the evening? ”

Zhao Defang stretched out his hand and pinched her nose: "You are smart, you guessed right, I want to celebrate at night, my father hunted a sheep today, let's eat roast whole sheep at night, it's not early, clean up, let's go over here." ”

After a pause, he said, "As for me, I hunted two rabbits today, and when I go back, I will make you a rabbit fur cape?" ”

"Okay, then I'll wait." Jiao Wanwan also smiled, her clothes had already been changed, and she didn't need to change them at this time, she just followed Zhao Defang out slowly, the sky gradually darkened, and the camp was lit with torches, because it was in the forest, there were at least three people guarding the torches, so there was no need to worry about a fire or something.
