The emperor led hundreds of civil and military officials to travel, and the mighty procession, just the guards and honor guards were discharged half a mile, and the bright yellow banner was jumped straight in the winter wind.

Today, whether it is a civil minister, a military general, or a prince, they are all riding horses, only the eldest grandson and queen are alone, sitting in a sedan chair, and the team slowly marches towards the royal hunting ground.

Long'er rode a horse, Xuan Shijing sat in front of Long'er, and Long'er rode the horse carefully along the way, for fear that Xuan Shijing would fall down again.

"Long'er, I just found out that you can even ride a horse." Xuan Shijing said to Long'er in surprise.

"That's it, otherwise how can you be worthy of being a secretary to Master Hou!" When Long'er heard her Hou Ye's words, she looked proud: "Actually, Long'er knows a lot, but the little Hou Ye doesn't know." ”

"Say you're fat and you're still panting, Long'er, when did you learn to ride a horse?"

"It's very early, when I was in my teens, and I was still in Erxianzhuang at that time." Long'er replied.

"It seems that I have really picked up a treasure by letting you be my secretary." Xuan Shijing felt a little tired, so he simply leaned into Long'er's arms: "I was in the palace just now, why didn't you let me be the prince's carriage." ”

"This, Madame has long expected that the emperor will let the little marquis follow you in the prince's team, and the lady specially instructed that the little marquis should not be allowed to sit in the car of the prince or other princes, so I deliberately changed this dress when I sent the carriage out of the palace, and then took the little marquis to ride a horse." Long'er said.

It turned out that her mother thought the same as she thought, no matter what, she had to keep her distance from the princes, and her mother could be regarded as a wise man.

After walking for more than an hour, I finally arrived at the royal hunting ground on the outskirts of Chang'an, which is said to be the royal hunting ground, which is a rolling hill and dense forest, which is open on weekdays, and when it comes to some festivals or when the emperor is interested in hunting, there is an army to surround it and prohibit the people from entering and leaving.

In winter, the forest is yellow with herbs, except for some pine trees that remain verdant, the other trees are only left with branches, and the ground is covered with layers of golden leaves, which are very soft to step on.

When the team entered the mountains and forests, Li Shimin stepped forward and said loudly: "Everyone, Aiqing, everyone is casual today, let me see if you still have the bravery you had when you fought with me on the battlefield." After speaking, he picked up the hard bow hanging on the side of the war horse and rushed out first.

"We will follow Your Majesty!" A group of courtiers shouted, and they also followed Li Shimin's example, picked up the horsewhip and flicked it, and rode up to follow.

"Little Marquis, do we want to catch up too?" Long'er asked.

"Why are we catching up?" Xuan Shijing said: "Wait here, didn't Your Majesty leave a team of guards to camp here?" It's useless for us to keep up. ”

"Who said that? Maybe we'll be able to fight a big tiger and come back. Long'er said proudly.

"Still fighting tigers, Long'er, why don't you go to heaven." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "This is the royal hunting ground, in order to ensure the safety of Your Majesty, the Royal Forest Army has long since expelled the large fierce beasts here before Your Majesty hunted. "Xuan Shijing didn't believe it, if there were really tigers, dogs and bears in this forest, in case Li Shimin made a slight mistake here, the people of the Royal Forest Army would not die to thank the world.

Long'er pouted, suddenly lost interest, got off the horse, hugged Xuan Shijing, and went to find the carriage that the Hou Mansion followed.

Empress Changsun got down from the carriage and happened to see Xuan Shijing and Long'er, and said with a smile: "Jing'er, didn't you go hunting with you, did you feel bored?" ”

Xuan Shijing walked to the side of the eldest grandson queen: "I don't think it's boring, it's always good to come out to breathe, Shijing also prepared some good things for Niangniang today." Speaking of this, Xuan Shijing showed a big smile on his face.

"You kid, you always look like an adult at a young age, let Long'er take you around for a while, and stay in the Hou Mansion all day long, but you said you prepared something for the palace? Bengong is curious, but I want to see what good things Jing'er has prepared for Bengong. Empress Eldest Sun felt a little curious when she heard Xuan Shijing's words.

"Hehe, Queen Mother, you will know when you have dinner in a while, what Jing'er has prepared is all food that you haven't eaten before, Queen Mother." Xuan Shijing said.

"Little slippery, you still sold the guanzi in front of the palace, okay, the palace will wait for today's lunch to see what you have prepared that the palace has not eaten before." Empress Eldest Sun responded with a smile, but she didn't take it seriously, there was no rare food in the palace, and a small child could come up with something strange.

Bidding farewell to the eldest grandson, Xuan Shijing and Long'er soon found their own carriage in the convoy of the princes, and at this time the groom had already moved some supplies from the carriage, because they were going to eat here at noon, so they had to write down the things and build the stove.

There were a total of three people from the Hou Mansion plus the horseman, and the other ministers only brought a subordinate for them to drive, because today's lunch was part of the prey they brought back, and the cooking was the imperial kitchen brought by His Majesty Li Er from the palace, so there was no need to worry about no subordinate to cook or anything.

Xuan Shijing definitely can't follow their group of people to gnaw barbecue or something, his small body and stomach are very weak, and he can't restrain that kind of food, so today's lunch can only be made by Long'er.

Xuan Shijing looked at the cooking utensils and ingredients brought by his carriage, there were not many things, it seemed that he could only use local materials to see what hot soup and hot water could be made, and it was not possible to do outdoor sports in winter without supplementing some heat.

"Long'er, let's take a look around, pick some mushrooms or something, pick up some firewood by the way, and come back and let's stew soup and drink, it's too uncomfortable not to eat some hot in the forest on this cold day." Xuan Shijing said.

"Okay, Master Hou." Long'er answered, and hung a dagger more than a foot long on the leather belt around her waist.

He Long'er walked into the depths of the mountain forest, Xuan Shijing paid attention to the mushrooms growing under the trees as he walked, and when he saw something to eat, he picked them and put them in the bamboo basket that Long'er was carrying.

"Long'er, let me tell you, those colorful mushrooms must not be touched." Xuan Shijing said: "The more beautiful it is, the more toxic it is." ”

"Got it, little marquis, why do you know so much." Long'er bent down, plucked a gray mushroom, and threw it into the bamboo basket behind her.

"On weekdays, I ask you to follow me to read more books in the study, you just don't bother to read them, these things, all of them have been said in the book, especially the medical skills that I have followed Sun Daochang to see in the past few days, some things, although they are toxic, but they can save people when they are used in medicine." Xuan Shijing said.

"Little Hou Ye, as a maid, what do you do when you read so many books, it is better to learn to cook some food from Hou Ye, and you can marry a good family in the future." Long'er straightened up and said.

"Hey, Long'er, I'm thinking about marrying myself off again, don't you want your dreams of rivers and lakes?" looked at Long'er with a smile on his face.

"That's what Long'er said, Long'er still has to serve the little marquis." Long'er hurriedly changed the topic: "Little Hou Ye, look, there are still a lot of mushrooms ahead, let's go over there." ”

Looking at the enthusiastic Long'er, Xuan Shijing couldn't help but think of a song in his previous life, a little girl picking mushrooms, carrying a big bamboo basket on her back......

Xuan Shijing and Long'er picked mushrooms and gradually walked into the depths of the mountain forest, Xuan Shijing suddenly heard a trace of footsteps, not like human walking, according to experience, it looked like a large beast.

It's over, Xuan Shijing secretly scolded in his heart, the group of killers who eat idle food in the Royal Forest Army can't even clean up a royal hunting ground.

Cautiously walked to Long'er's side and whispered: "Long'er, I heard footsteps, it seems to be a fierce beast, let's slowly retreat now and see if we can run away."

"Little Hou Ye, don't be nervous, Long'er will protect Hou Ye thoroughly." Long'er was a little excited on her face, and said with a sworn face.

After such a delay, Xuan Shijing had already seen the figure of the beast, which turned out to be a spotted tiger, huge in size, with a fierce look in his eyes, staring at Xuan Shijing and Long'er viciously.

Xuan Shijing couldn't cry or laugh a little: "Long'er, look, this is a tiger, not a cat or a puppy, we didn't run just now, now we are not going to heaven, but going to heaven." ”

"Little Hou Ye, Long'er can't do it in the sky, but this fights tigers, hehe~" Long'er smiled predictively: "This can be tried." As he spoke, he unloaded the bamboo basket behind him, clenched his fist, and his fingers made a "click, click, click" sound.

Xuan Shijing couldn't help but shrink his head
