In the tense and expectant preparations of all departments in Beijing, the day of autumn hunting has officially arrived.

Jia Baoyu is also going, not only to go, but also to have a great responsibility.

The forbidden army is the most powerful army in Gyeonggi, and the autumn hunt is a royal ceremony, so the forbidden army is bound to be dispatched.

The emperor drew 8,000 horse infantry troops from the forbidden army to accompany the escort, and Jia Baoyu's first infantry army happened to be among the recruits, with a total of 2,000 and Jia Baoyu as the commander.

At this point, even Jia Baoyu didn't expect it, originally thought that the emperor should be distrustful or even suspicious of him, but he didn't expect it to be arranged like this.

However, Jia Baoyu didn't speculate too much about this, anyway, he had been a security guard many times, and he didn't care about this time.

Moreover, the commander of the forbidden army accompanying him on this trip was not him, plus in addition to the forbidden army, there were also people from the Jinyi Army and the Beijing Battalion, and even heard that the Beida Battalion also set up customs along the way......

Good fellows, there are twenty or thirty thousand men in these security and escort armies alone. In addition to almost all the palaces of the royal family and the princes and ministers, these people have to lead a large number of people when they travel, plus the emperor and Xiyuan, hehehe, Jia Baoyu guessed that there is no problem with this line alone, with a small fifty or sixty thousand people.

Where the hell is going hunting, it's like a war.

Gossip aside, just after the ugly hour in the early hours of the morning, Jia Baoyu got up and was fully armed under the service of the maids.

"The third girl is here."

With the voice of the maid on the porch, Tanchun led her maid in.

She wore a bright white printed placket with a pale pink horse-faced dress underneath, which looked particularly beautiful and touching with her carefully woven hairstyle and bright and delicate face.

"Why did the third girl come so early?"

The attacker smiled and welcomed her into the house.

Tanchun nodded and greeted them, came to Jia Baoyu, and glanced at Jia Baoyu, who was armed and looked more and more handsome and extraordinary, and curtsied: "Second brother." ”

Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "The third sister hasn't come to me for a while, but people have become polite. ”

When Tanchun heard this, his face turned red inexplicably.

But in the end, he was free and easy, and he quickly adjusted his mentality and said with a smile: "If the second brother doesn't welcome me to come, just say it, I'll go back." ”

The hearty laughter made the maids laugh out loud.

Jia Baoyu also smiled, looked behind Tanchun again, and asked, "Are you the only one who comes?" ”

Tanchun said: "Originally, we were going to come together, but Sister Bao said that she was afraid of delaying your trip, so she asked me to come and see it alone, and they went to the old lady's house to wait to see you off." ”

Jia Baoyu nodded, and after packing up, he didn't delay, and took Tanchun directly to Rongguo Mansion.

On the way, Tanchun asked Jia Baoyu how many days she was going to go on this trip, and when she would return, and Jia Baoyu told her.

Tanchun silently counted the days, and finally said: "The second brother is a person who does great things, and I don't dare to say anything else, I just hope that when the second brother is outside, he will take care of himself, and he must protect himself." The second brother should remember that in the family, the old lady and the wife ...... And Sister Lin, they are all worried about you......

This is the peace knot I made, if you don't dislike it, take it with you, it may be useful. ”

Tanchun took out a tassel out of nowhere, and the top was a Chinese knot style made of red silk thread, which was very delicate.

Jia Baoyu stopped, took this thing that cost her a lot of effort at first glance, and then hugged her in her arms with one arm, and said, "I like the gift of the third sister very much, thank you." ”

After speaking, he noticed that Tanchun's body was a little stiff, so he picked up the hand behind her back, patted her head gently, and then let go.

Tanchun bowed his head a little shyly, not daring to look at Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu looked at the maids and servants behind her lightly, and the very few mothers-in-law with a strange look looked at Jia Baoyu's eyes, and hurriedly became serious.

……

I didn't stay long in Jia's mother's house.

All the things that should be said were said before yesterday night, and the redundant and cumbersome words were not said by others except for Jia Mu.

said goodbye to Daiyu and the others who sent him out in the second gate, and then came directly to Ma Peng outside the South Courtyard.

The soldiers were all ready, all with gilded armor and silver saddles, even if there were only ten horsemen, they still showed great might.

Jia Baoyu turned over and got on his horse, and his sharp gaze swept over the soldiers, making their already mighty bodies even more straight.

He nodded and said in a straight voice: "Let's go!" ”

……

The second prince sat in a wheelchair and was pushed up to the attic by the eunuchs.

It's not dawn yet.

But inside and outside the imperial city, the lights were already crowded, and the sound of horses' hooves fell.

The second prince watched quietly and remained silent.

After a long time, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the dark night sky, opened his arms, and sighed softly: "The wind is blowing......

The eunuch standing behind him hurriedly took the robe and put it on with the second prince, and said, "If Your Highness feels cold, it is better to go back to the dormitory." ”

The second prince couldn't help frowning, but he remembered that the other party was just a eunuch, so he didn't bother with him.

Tightening his collar, the second prince said: "What is the situation in the palace, who are the people in the harem for Your Majesty's autumn hunt this time?" ”

The eunuch said: "Back to His Royal Highness, except for the queen mother, among the imperial concubines above the third grade, only Yu Guiren was also sick, so he didn't go." ”

Hearing that the queen really didn't go, a hint of relief flashed in the eyes of the second prince.

As long as the queen mother is not there, then no matter what happens on the iron net mountain, he will not be worried.

"Prepare your chariots, and tonight the king will go into the palace to visit the queen mother."

The second prince turned his wheelchair and turned around. The eunuch knew that the second prince was going down to the attic, and while taking over the work of the cart, he said: "Since His Royal Highness is going to enter the palace, do you prepare supplements for the mother according to the previous list?" ”

"No need ......"

……

Rongguo Mansion, Daiyu and others had dinner, because they were idle in the garden, they met in Rongqing Hall.

It's just that when they arrived here, they were told by the mandarin duck: "The old lady was in a bad mood, and she rested after eating." ”

Helpless, they had no choice but to come to Mrs. Wang's side.

Mrs. Wang is also chanting sutras and worshipping the Buddha, so she doesn't have time to see them, so let them rest in the garden since they go back, and there is no need to be polite......

As a result, Daiyu and the others had to go back stupidly.

Xiangyun looked at the sisters who suddenly didn't speak silently and only cared about walking, and said with annoyance: "The second brother has only been gone for a day, and you are all like frosted eggplants, so boring!"

Ignore you, I'll go to Sister Bao and Fourth Sister! ”

Li Kun grabbed her and said with a smile: "I was about to ask you, why don't Bao Yatou and the fourth girl see?" ”

Xiangyun said: "Didn't the second brother ask Sister Bao to teach Sister Xichun to paint, Sister Bao can teach her heart, every day she asks Sister Xichun to go over and guide in person, not to mention, she has to assign homework to the fourth sister, and she has to check it on the second day."

Thanks to the good interest of the fourth sister, what is the tiredness of the matter, Sister Bao is also ......"

Li Kun smiled and said: "No wonder you didn't live in Wuyuan in the past two days and moved to the Three Girls House, it must have been their master and apprentice who concentrated on you and neglected you." ”

Xiangyun immediately showed an embarrassed look.

The others laughed when they saw this.

Li Kun said: "In this case, let's also go to Luwuyuan and see what the four girls have learned under the strict teaching of Miss Bao!" ”

Everyone had no objections, so they came to the side of the main mountain together.
