Princess Rui went to the queen's side to sit and talk, and Princess Pingnan was also renewing her mother-son relationship with her son.

"You used to like to eat sweet and sour fish made by the chef in the house, I specially asked the chef to make it, you eat a few more bites!" The princess actually chose fish bones for her son herself, hoping that her son could eat more.

Hao Lianjue frowned when she saw this, put down the chopsticks in her hand, and said, "The mother concubine also eats, so you don't have to take care of me." ”

"I've already eaten it, and it's made for you." Princess Pingnan said as she continued to pick up vegetables for her son, and the vegetables on the plate in front of Hao Lianjue were piled up, "This cabbage is very tender, and the heat is just right." The meat is also smooth and tender, and the ribs are stewed softly. You try this eggplant again, simmered in old chicken broth. There are few fresh bamboo shoots in this season, so you can eat a few more bites......"

Hao Lianjue watched her mother chattering, constantly picking up vegetables, and constantly urging herself to eat more, and her eyes became dark. He picked up his chopsticks again, lowered his head and tried to eat the meal in front of him.

Watching him eat in a big gulp, the smile on the princess's face became heavier and heavier, "What good food can there be in the barracks?" The food in the house is still delicious, right? ”

finally ate the dishes on the plate, but in a blink of an eye, the plate was full again, and Hao Lianjue continued to eat hard. It wasn't until he ate a table of dishes that the princess let him go.

After the meal and tea, Hao Lianjue made people make a thick aged Pu'er. He's eaten to the point of his throat, and if he doesn't eat it, I'm afraid he won't even be able to sleep well tonight.

Princess Pingnan knew that her son was not good at words, and she didn't like to talk about some common things, let alone about the barracks. But she hadn't seen her son for so long, and her stomach was bursting out. Hao Lianjue listened quietly, occasionally nodding or frowning, and the princess spoke lively.

As the sky fell, the moon gradually rose into the sky. The princess knew that her son was going to take part in the hunt tomorrow and should rest earlier. Fortunately, this autumn hunt will be carried out for more than half a month, and I can see my son every day, and I can make delicious food for my son. Thinking of this, the princess was in a much better mood.

Hao Lianjue left the courtyard where the princess lived and walked outside the courtyard. His garrison was a mile away from the courtyard, and he asked Chang Sui to ride his horse back, intending to wander back by himself.

As soon as I reached the corner, I heard someone whispering. He followed the sound and looked for it, but saw a figure standing on a rockery.

"Girl, the terrain here is very high, and it's getting late now, so let's go back to the room and rest." Listening to this tone, it seems to be a little palace maid in the other courtyard.

Running to the rockery to blow the wind without sleeping at night, Hao Lianjue was not interested in being curious, he didn't look at it carefully, and planned to bypass it. He had just walked a few steps when he heard another voice.

"yes, what moon are you looking at on this big night? Sister Wei Ru has fallen asleep with a headache, let's go back quickly. It's so high here, it's not a joke to fall down. ”

"What are you afraid of, it's okay to keep it with me! It's hard to get out and breathe, there are many people in the capital, there are many high-rise buildings, and I feel that even the night sky is not as beautiful as here. Look, the moon is big and round, and it looks like Chang'e is really dancing in it. Maybe the legend of Chang'e running to the moon is true, she stays alone and lonely, she must regret it very much. ”

Both voices sounded familiar, especially the former. Hao Lianjue's feet froze, standing near the rockery and not leaving.

"If the legend is true, Chang'e has been running to the moon for thousands of years, if not tens of thousands of years. After such a long period of time, everything has changed and even turned upside down, every qiē is floating clouds, every qiē is dust, and the original attachment has become insignificant. What else can't you think of? ”

"How do you know if you haven't tried?"

As soon as these words came out, there was an instant silence, and for a moment, only an exclamation was heard, and then someone screamed. Hao Lianjue keenly sensed that something was wrong, and caught a glimpse of a black shadow falling from the rockery, and flew over to catch it at once.

As soon as he landed, he saw another dark shadow fall beside him.

"I'm scared to death, is Sister Youyi okay?" Shang Que was full of panic and was nervously asking.

It turned out that the two sisters were sitting on the rockery admiring the moon and talking, and for a while, Youyi felt that she forgot that she was sitting on a high place, and fell down with one foot in the air. The incident happened suddenly, and Shang Que wanted to rescue him, but it was too late.

Fortunately, Hao Lianjue was standing below, otherwise Youyi would have broken her arm and leg if she fell from the rockery and didn't die. Shang Que was even more frightened than Youyi, and his little face turned pale. She asked nervously, carefully examining Youyi's whole body.

Youyi was held in Hao Lianjue's arms, and Shang Que was holding her arms and legs beside her, making her feel uncomfortable.

"Can you let me come down first?" Youyi was uncomfortable, and whispered softly with a red face.

"Yes, yes, come down first. Move your hands and feet to see if you get in the way. Shang Que hurriedly said when he heard this, and Hao Lianjue put Youyi down.

Seeing her standing still, Shang Que urged again, "Take a few steps and take a look!" ”

Under the gaze of the two people, Youyi had to take two steps according to her words, these two steps were really uncomfortable and embarrassing!

"Does it hurt you?" Seeing that there was nothing wrong with her legs and feet, Shang Que continued to ask.

"I'm fine." She glanced at Hao Lianjue, bit her lip and replied, "I didn't fall to the ground, what can happen." ”

"Oh, yes, thanks for meeting you." Listening to the tone, Shang Que seemed to be very familiar with Hao Lianjue.

If you think about it, you can understand that they are all relatives of the emperor and the country, and they must have known each other since they were young. Besides, Shang Que is like a boy, and he never thinks about the rules of whether men and women are intimate or not, and often mingles with a group of boys.

Hao Lianjue's attitude towards Shang Que was much colder, he looked at Youyi and said lightly: "Go back quickly, there are many people here, and it is inevitable that there will be gossip when you see it." ”

Hearing this, Shang Que suddenly opened his mind, glanced up and down at Youyi, and then stopped his gaze on her chest.

"She's only how old she's be

"How old is she? Who can say what? When you go to Mobei, people are much more old-fashioned. I already have a poker face, so be careful to become an antique! ”

"Let's go back." Hao Lianjue dropped a sentence and turned away.

Looking at his back, Shang Que couldn't help but stick out his tongue, pulled Youyi and said: "It's gone if you say that you have a good identity as a son, and it's not strange that your personality has become eccentric." When it comes to personality, we all know each other since we were young, and we have to have some contacts. I'm also a cool person, and I can't see those pretentious eldest ladies, so I befriend the second prince. This Hao Lianjue is not the oldest, but he can speak and act the most steadily. The elders all praise it like this, but it seems to me to be a bit boring. Originally, it was the age of blood and strength, and it was boring to think about it like an old antique. In addition, he failed to marry a wife three times and twice, and there are rumors and everything outside, whose good girl's family is willing to send it in to be restrained? ”

She has a straightforward temperament, and she pours out her heart and lungs to Youyi, and she doesn't beat around the bush when she speaks. Youyi had no intention of hiding her acquaintance with Hao Lianjue, but Shang Que didn't ask, and they hadn't spoken much, so they weren't very familiar. Besides, Hao Lianjue didn't have much enthusiasm for her, so she couldn't stick it on and pretend to be familiar, as if she had to climb high.

There was a false alarm, and Youyi returned to the room and was still a little frightened. She simply washed and lay down, but she felt uncomfortable, and she heard movement at the door in a daze. She originally came to participate in the hunt as a merchant girl, and it was already good to have her own room, where could there be a girl waiting. Hearing the movement, she had to get up and go out to see.

On this big night, it was pitch black everywhere, and although Wei Ru was next door, Youyi didn't want to alarm her. Youyi is not afraid of the dark, and she is not afraid of ghosts and gods. She has been a ghost for fifty years, and she has tasted enough of the night.

She got out of bed with her clothes on, listened to the door for a while, and heard no movement, and then gently pushed the door open. The moon was bright outside. Half of the figure was out of sight, and she was about to close the door when she saw a small bottle on the ground.

What is it? She bent down to pick it up and saw a label on the bottle with the words "Tranquility Pill" written on it. She raised an eyebrow and looked around for a moment. Not to mention the human figure, there is not even a ghost. It doesn't matter who sent it, it won't be poison anyway, and no one can afford to poison it in such a stupid way. And who would have a hard time with her to the point of death?

Youyi was bold, closed the door, poured water, and drank a pill. When he lay back again, he fell asleep quickly, and was woken up by Shang Que the next morning.

"How do you feel? Otherwise, if you invite the accompanying imperial doctor, you will say that I am not comfortable. If you lie down on my bed and put a screen in front of you, who can tell who it is? She didn't sleep well this night, for fear that Youyi would be scared out of something.

Youyi's body is delicate, not like she grew up practicing martial arts, and she must have been scared to fall from such a high place. Last night, she planned to come over to live with Youyi, but when she got to the door, she saw that there was no light inside, and she listened to no movement, so she went back to the room. But the matter started from her, and she was worried about it in her heart, so she pulled Wei Ru over early in the morning to take a look.

Wei Ru was also frightened when he heard what happened last night, it should be a thrill, who would have thought that Hao Lianjue would pass under the rockery. Thinking about it before and after, this Hao Lianjue and Youyi have some fate, and they appeared in danger three times and twice.

She was thinking about it when she saw Shang Que roll out like a gust of wind. After a while, she hurried back again, with a small bottle in her hand.

"This is the tranquilizing pill I asked for from Lord Wang, take one pill when you go to bed tonight, and make sure you sleep peacefully." She put the bottle on the table, "Lord Wang doesn't have many of them, and I need to keep a few in case of emergency, and it will take at least seven or eight days to rebrew them." You eat first, it's not enough for me to think of a way, I don't know what Hao Lianjue wants a bottle for? ”

Youyi's eyes flashed when she heard this, and she came to her senses for a moment, "I'm not doing anything either, what are you doing eating this thing?" Send someone to the king quickly, so that no one will need to delay. ”

"It's best if you're okay, or it's my sin! If you already want to come, you will stay, otherwise I will not be able to justify myself. Shang Que lied and said that he couldn't sleep well in bed, and he couldn't say how to send it back at this moment.

When Youyi heard this, she asked her to stay for backup, and the three of them then had breakfast. As soon as they finished eating, a little girl came in from outside and replied with a smile, saying that the young master Shang was here, and he would come over after meeting the emperor.

Shang Que couldn't help but be happy when she heard this, she lived in her grandfather's house in the capital all the year round, and her brother followed her father to guard the border pass and did not come back all the year round, and their brothers and sisters gathered less and left more.

After a while, Young Master Shang really came. Shang Que heard the girl's reply, and hurriedly ran out to greet her. Youyi saw Shang Que dragging a tall man through the window, chattering. The man looked like he was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with facial features somewhat similar to Shang Que's, and a bit of righteousness between his eyebrows and eyes. He was quite tall, wearing armor and a saber at his waist, and his face was full of wind and dust, which should have been rushed overnight.

I heard that this young master of Shang University is the deputy general, and he will be the successor of General Zhennan in the future. His family members are all at the border, and he already has two sons and a daughter. It seems that their brother and sister have a good relationship, and Vice General Shang looked at his sister's spoiled face, and he didn't know what his sister said and felt that it was interesting to look up and laugh. This scene made Youyi a little envious, although there are many sisters and brothers in her family, but when it comes to flesh and blood, the affection is really weak.

Vice General Shang didn't have time to talk to his sister much, and he was about to lead his troops into the hunting area.

"Sister, you wait, for my brother to hunt a fire fox for you to make a big fire."

"Brother hunts foxes or leave it to sister-in-law. I'm going to hunt myself, and I'm going to hunt a wolf cub for my nephew to play with. Last time, I promised him, I can't break my promise as an aunt! Shang said excitedly.

The children of the merchants all practice martial arts, but the merchant is only a teenage girl, and the deputy general of the merchant faction

Vice General Shang sent a team to protect her safety. This made Youyi feel much more at ease, otherwise with Shang Que's impulsive and adventurous nature, there might be some kind of chaos.

Outside there was a trumpet sounding, which was gathering people. Vice General Shang left in a hurry, and the three of Youyi were also armed.

They were all dressed in riding clothes, with special light and delicate armor on their chests, and they stepped on their horses with a sassy and heroic appearance. Especially Wei Ru, who was a little more energetic than when she was wearing women's clothes, became more and more temperamental.

The old man of the merchant accompanied the emperor, the young master followed the second prince, and the deputy general of the merchant had to lead the team to fight against the other teams. There are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to call the king, and the merchant sparrow leads the merchant and a group of horses, and there is a well-trained army in front of the road, which is really majestic.

In fact, there is no danger in the hunting ground, as long as you don't enter the martial law area inside. The periphery is best for women, having fun and hunting harmless small animals. The martial law zone inside is full of dangers, not only all kinds of wild and ferocious animals, but also wild boars and wild wolves living in packs, if you go into the depths of the mountains, you can even meet a big black bear. Those who came to join the confrontation went directly to the martial law area, and each team had to take 200 men and horses and stationed them in it, and they could not come out until ten days later. Whichever team hunts the most prey and loses the least wins.

There are no restrictions in the martial law zone, and the law of the jungle is the basic law. Each team is allowed to fight among themselves, and whoever dies inside will die in vain!

On the one hand, it is necessary to pay attention to the attacks of the herd beasts, and on the other hand, to guard against the attacks of other teams, and the main thing is to hunt enough prey, which is not a small challenge for each team. The hunting area covers thousands of miles of uninhabited land, and although autumn hunting is carried out every year, accidents always happen. No one could have predicted what they would encounter in the next ten days, and they didn't even dare to make a decision whether they would be able to save their lives. Deep in the mountains, deep in the dense forest, there are all kinds of dangers lurking.

I heard that one autumn hunt was particularly cruel, and on the tenth day, only two teams of men and horses came out of it, and there were only a dozen people left. One of the teams was attacked by wolves and wiped out. However, the commanders of those two teams are now all princes of one side, and the dozen or so people who came out have also become the pillars of the country.

Therefore, everyone knows that autumn hunting is a life-and-death challenge for the people and horses from all parties who come to participate in the confrontation, but there are still many people who rush to it. At present, the four seas are leveling, and there are not many ways for martial artists to stand out and make achievements.

The perimeter is separated from the martial law zone by a dense barbed wire fence, and guards patrol day and night to prevent wild beasts from crossing the border. So as long as you stay on the periphery honestly, it should be a good autumn outing.

People from all walks of life in the southeast, northwest, and northwest have entered the martial law area one after another, and the periphery is full of the daughters and sons of major families, as well as the ministers of civil and military affairs who accompany the emperor. Not to mention how to fight and fight in the martial law area, just talk about the ease and comfort of everyone outside.

Youyi originally thought that she would meet the emperor, queen and others, but when she actually arrived at the hunting ground, she found that her idea was too naïve. Not to mention the big hunting ground, there are layers of guards around the emperor, and it will be difficult to get close to him if he is not summoned. It's better not to see it, so as not to cause death due to poor action! They wandered leisurely through the woods, occasionally seeing a hare running away and throwing an arrow.

Wei Ru knows some archery skills, but it is far from the level of Shang Que, but Youyi is the first time that the eldest girl has been on the sedan chair. Shang Que taught her how to draw a bow, aim, and shoot for a long time, but she only felt that her neck, arms, and eyes were sore.

She didn't hunt anything after a long day's effort, and when she saw geese flying in the sky, she shot an arrow at random. Originally, she didn't have much hope, but she didn't expect a wild goose to fall to the ground, and she couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

Youyi and the others hurriedly rode over, but before she could pick it up, she heard a shout.
