Chapter 33: The Hunt

Day and twenty-six years of early winter

When the light of the early morning broke through the endless darkness and cast it on the first swaying leaves, the cold wind had already swept wildly, taking away the long-awaited warmth.

It's just early winter, but it's already cold, Zhen Xi is wrapped in a small padded jacket, still shivering.

Zhen Xi suddenly thought of something, so she asked Taohong to bring the drawings and draw them, she wanted to design the first down jacket for Nanzhao!

As for how to choose down, how to clean, how to disinfect, then leave it to the people of Buzhuang to figure out a way, after all, the working people have more wisdom.

As soon as Zhen Xi finished drawing a few pictures, someone came to summon her, saying that someone from the palace was coming and asked her to go to the inner hall.

Zhen Xi had no choice but to put down the pen and take the few pictures he had drawn to Qian Ji Buzhuang.

When Zhen Xi came to the inner hall, the prince was already sitting in the hall, and Zhen Xi walked naturally to Chu Beili and stood beside him, which was a habit he developed after seeing the people in the palace so many times.

That father-in-law is the father-in-law Cao who came to admire the moon last time, this time he didn't dare to slack off when he saw Zhen Xi, after all, Zhen Xi can now be regarded as a celebrity next to the Queen Mother, his eyes were full of stammering, and he pulled his throat and said: "Today, the slave was ordered by the Queen Mother to come to the prince's mansion to invite Mrs. Zhen to participate in tomorrow's Nanshan hunt." ”

"Father-in-law Cao, thank the Queen Mother for her kindness for me." Zhen Xi took out some broken silver from his arms and handed it to Gonggong Cao by the subordinate on the side.

Zhen Xi seems to have fully integrated into the mode of getting along with this society, and everyone who comes from the palace is a network, and they have to accumulate it well.

And Chu Beili is the prince, and he is on the hunting list, but Zhen Xi is different, she is just a concubine in the palace, and she is not allowed to participate in such an occasion without a summons, this queen mother can think of her, and it can be regarded as a love for her.

Zhen Xi is not very interested in hunting, after all, he is not good at hunting, and such activities are usually the home of military attachés. However, I heard that after the hunt, the hunted animals will be roasted and eaten, which must be very delicious, Zhen Xi drools when he thinks about it.

"In the hunting grounds, don't patronize and play." Chu Beili reminded.

Zhen Xi glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, I will follow you every step of the way and protect you!" ”

In fact, what Chu Beili wants to say is that the paddock seems to be safe, but in fact there is an undercurrent. Although before the hunt begins, there will be people who clear the field, and there are forbidden army handles outside the hunting ground, but those who have a heart can always take advantage of loopholes, besides, the bow and arrow in this hunting ground do not have eyes.

However, the rough Jianghu woman can't understand it!

Following

In the ankle-length purple cloak of Chu Bei Li, he wore a purple robe and a bright silk milky white placket. The robe was turned upside down and tucked into the white jade belt around his waist, and white deerskin boots were worn on his feet to facilitate horseback riding.

The jet-black hair is combed in a neat bun on the top of the head, set in a delicate white jade crown, from both sides of the jade crown hangs a pale green silk crown band, tied with a flowing knot on the lower forehead, and the waist is standing straight next to the hemp cart, like the person in the painting.

When Zhen Xi saw Chu Beili like this, he was a little stunned, and his body looked dignified, like an iron face!

"What's the matter, Madame, is it that this king has fallen into a god?"

Chu Beili's banter made Zhen Xi come back to his senses, and he dropped a sentence angrily: "You are not suitable for wearing purple clothes!" So he got into the carriage.

Her donkey's head was not in the horse's mouth, which made Chu Beili feel inexplicable, and he followed him into the carriage.

Zhen Xi is wearing a lotus pink padded jacket today, which is full of girlishness, but she also brought a lilac cloak in her hand, and her mood is extremely unhappy, even this is a shirt!

When they came to the Nanshan enclosure, the black-pressed forbidden troops had already lined up and stood up at their respective posts.

The invited officials also entered the paddock one after another, and this hunt was mainly military attachés, and there were few civilian officials.

And the emperor, but only brought Concubine Rong, the queen mother since the last frightened, the body seems to have been relatively weak, a little careless is easy to catch the cold, so, this hunt did not participate, that An Concubine is also about to give birth, so she did not follow.

After everyone was seated one by one, all the people participating in the hunt were ready, the emperor raised the golden bow and arrow in his hand and shot hard into the sky, the hunt was completed, and everyone followed the emperor and rode into the hunting area.

These people, naturally, include Zhen Xi, and at this moment, she is following Chu Beili inch by inch. Her equestrian skills are not high, and Chu Beili seems to be the same, so she can keep up with him.

In this hunt, the one who hunted the most total weight of prey won, and all the military attaches ran to the deep forest, because there are more frequent animal activities, and it is easiest to hunt large animals, but this Chu Beili is different from others, he has been running to the side on a horse.

"Lord Wang, there are some hares here! Why not go over there? Zhen Xi pointed in the direction where the military attache was going.

Rabbit hunting is so interesting.

Chu Beili ignored her proposal and said, "There are many people there, bows and arrows have no eyes, what should I do if I want to hurt this king?" ”

He stopped running and alighted, and lay down on the spot after putting aside his bow and arrows.

……

Zhen Xi was a little speechless, this straw bag prince finally came out to play, but he sat leisurely! A good pair of bows and arrows were wasted in vain!

Zhen Xi had no choice but to accompany him here to see the scenery, she stopped her horse and stayed aside.

"Goo...... ......"Suddenly, in the vast sky of the plateau, there were several eagle calls.

Zhen Xi looked up at the blue sky, and sure enough, he saw an eagle hovering in the sky, and a hint of ominous premonition struck, which immediately made Zhen Xi vigilant.

At this time, I saw an arrow, which hit the hovering eagle exactly right, good archery! Zhen Xi turned his head to look at Chu Beili, he had already gotten up, put the bow he was holding behind his back, quickly got on his horse, and said, "Hurry up." ”

Zhen Xi looked at his movements and serious expression, not as if he was joking. He also felt the breath of danger. There must be a problem with the eagle!

Zhen Xi followed Chu Beili and also ran.

The north wind whistled fiercely in their ears, like a spiked steel knife, mercilessly plucked at their faces.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the small clouds in the sky gathered into a large thick cloud, which slowly and slowly expanded, and gradually covered the sky, and the sky was gray at this time.

Suddenly, the wind roared, it was a blizzard.

Light snow drifted sporadically in the air, and it melted when it landed.

The gray sky mingled with the sea of snow, and nothing was seen.
