Chapter 65: Are you afraid?
"Your Majesty, the queen has arrived."
As the unique singing sound of the palace people sounded, everyone present stood up and bowed to the main seat.
"See the emperor, the queen."
"Zhongqing is flat."
Lin Mumu stood up, raised his eyes, and saw Emperor Showa and Empress Xie standing on the main seat.
Emperor Showa wore a riding suit with a gold dragon on a black background today, and a white jade belt around his waist, which made him look radiant and looked much more energetic than usual.
Empress Xie is also dressed in riding clothes, compared with the complicated palace clothes in the past, today's riding clothes are quite a bit heroic and not allowed to shave their eyebrows.
"I'm waiting for the whole year to be able to move today, and this year's hunting conference will be divided into three ways, before the sunset, to see which team has the most prey, which team can win the first prize." Emperor Showa looked in a good mood today, his spirits were flying, and the smile on his face never fell.
"King Nanyang, I lost the hunt to you many years ago, and today you will take Team B to compete with my Team A, how about it?"
The king of Nanyang, who was dressed in a navy blue riding suit, stood up when he heard this. "The emperor is heroic, many years ago Weichen just won by luck, today's hunting Weichen still don't end up embarrassed."
Emperor Showa's eyes narrowed, but the smile on his face became deeper and deeper. "You kid, the older you get, the less courageous you get, don't worry, today I let the forbidden army surround the entire hunting ground, if there is any more errand, I will let the leader of the forbidden army go to the Nanyang palace to apologize to you."
King Nanyang didn't expect Emperor Showa to give such a guarantee, and when it came to this, he had no reason to refuse.
"I haven't hunted for many years, and the emperor won't make fun of Weichen for being rusty."
"Hahaha, okay, I won't laugh at you." After Emperor Showa finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhao Hanjun. "Third child, this third team is led by you."
"Yes, the retainer is commanded."
Those who participate in the hunt have to draw lots to determine their team, and almost all officials hope that they can draw the emperor's first team, so that they can have the opportunity to perform in front of the emperor.
"Queen, you can also take the ladies and ladies to play."
After the team was divided, Emperor Showa couldn't wait to play.
After Emperor Showa and the others left, the empress turned to the ladies and ladies present.
"The palace has also prepared a signature today, and all the ladies and ladies will come up to draw lots in a while, and the ones who have won the lottery will be in one group, and the palace will not belong to which group, just play with them on the side."
Where did everyone dare to refute the queen's face, so they naturally stepped forward to draw lots.
Lin Mumu has no interest in hunting or not hunting, she has been observing the people on the field since just now, and she has not found Zhao Xuanling's figure, he is incapacitated, and it is normal not to come to participate in this kind of activity.
"Third Imperial Princess, why don't you come and draw lots?" The queen looked at Lin Mumu, who was still standing aside, and asked with a smile.
"I'm ashamed to say that I can't even ride a horse, let alone hunt, so I'm embarrassed to drag someone else's hind legs."
"In that case, then you should follow Hongu."
"Yes, Queen."
Hu Xiyue was a little unhappy to learn that Lin Mumu did not participate in the hunting competition.
"You don't dare to participate in the competition, because you're afraid of the county lord." After drawing lots, Hu Xiyue specially ran to Lin Mumu's side and said disdainfully.
Lin Mumu glanced at her coldly. "How happy the county lord is, what do you think?" I'm going to argue with you that I'm losing.
"Hmph, useless waste." Hu Xiyue snorted proudly and turned over on the horse.
The rules of the hunting competition are the same as those on the emperor's side, which team hits the heaviest prey,
Which team will come out on top.
After the guards beat the gongs and drums, the ladies and ladies rode their horses into the hunting grounds.
The hunting grounds for men and women are separated, in order to avoid some fierce beasts accidentally injuring people, two months before the start of the hunting conference, some people entered the hunting ground to drive away the beasts, leaving almost all of the hunting grounds can not hurt people, even if there are really fierce beasts, they are also fed with medicine, but the shelf is still there, but the lethality has been much weaker.
After everyone entered the hunting ground, the queen mother also turned over and got on her horse.
Lin Mumu picked up a white horse that looked quite docile and rode it.
In the past, she learned equestrianism at the horse farm, and although she was not very good, she still knew how to control horses basically.
The hunting grounds are empty and large, and there are few prey that can be eye-catching, and if you want to hunt prey such as sika deer, you have to go to the woods.
Lin Mumu has been following the queen's team unhurriedly.
After entering the forest, the light around him dimmed, just in case, Lin Mumu sprinkled some snake and insect powder on his body, so as not to be bitten by suddenly frightened insects and snakes.
"Look, Queen, there's a sika deer over there."
The procession had been walking for about a quarter of an hour, and a female officer beside the queen pointed excitedly ahead.
"Really." Queen Xie was born in a century-old family Zhenguo Mansion, the first and second generations of Zhenguo Gong are settled with military merits, to Queen Xie's father's generation with the abandonment of martial arts, but now the Zhenguo Mansion is not without the descendants of the martial arts, Queen Xie is a woman, but often followed her grandfather when she was young, learned a lot of kung fu, although she has lived in the harem for many years, but the momentum is still there, after seeing the sika deer, Queen Xie is very skillful to take out a cold arrow from the quiver, and slowly fill the bow.
Just as the arrow in Empress Xie's hand was about to shoot, suddenly a sharp arrow flew from their right and pierced into the neck of the sika deer.
The sika deer stiffened and fell to the ground.
"The county lord is really powerful, and he hunted a sika deer with the first bow he pulled!"
"That is, the county lord will definitely win the first place in today's competition!"
The sika deer fell to the ground with a burst of laughter and cheers.
"Go, carry the deer out." Hu Xiyue's proud voice was particularly loud.
The faces of the people who followed the queen were a little unsightly.
"Queen's ......"
Empress Xie's face was the same, and she slowly put away the bow in her hand. "It's okay, maybe the lord of Ruolin County has already found out, fortunately, the arrows in the palace have not been released, otherwise it will rob the prey of the little girl, go, go elsewhere."
"Yes."
Because of the trees and vegetation, the group of people led by Hu Xiyue did not find the existence of the queen.
Lin Mumu glanced at Queen Xie, although her face did not change at all, but judging from the change in the aura on her back, this queen was actually unhappy.
Also, who found this prey first, who can say for sure.
Lin Mumu took out the small purse on her body, opened it, took an osmanthus cake, and took it out to take a bite.
She is very satisfied with the pastries made by the palace chef, and the sweet but not greasy taste always makes people want to eat more.
"Looking at the appearance of the third princess, it seems that she has no interest in hunting." Walking beside Lin Mumu, a woman in a pink riding uniform approached her and whispered.
Lin Mumu looked sideways when she heard the words and recognized her. "Didn't the fourth imperial concubine also steal a pear blossom candy?"
I did it so secretively, I didn't expect to be seen, the fourth princess was not as thick-skinned as Lin Mumu, and she was a little embarrassed for a while when she said it.
"I woke up early in the morning and didn't come
It's not surprising that you will be hungry if you have time to eat, and the four imperial concubines don't need to be embarrassed. ”
The fourth imperial concubine already wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, and blamed herself for saying something to Lin Mumu if she had nothing to say.
"Rabbit, the third princess, there are rabbits!"
The fourth imperial concubine suddenly pointed to Lin Mumu's side excitedly, Lin Mumu turned her head, and saw a gray-haired rabbit suddenly burst out of the grass, and hit a big tree next to Lin Mumu as if she didn't have long eyes.
With a "bang", Lin Mumu felt that her head hurt.
The rabbit doesn't move after hitting the tree.
"The luck of the third princess, the prey was sent to the door in vain." The scene just now also happened to be seen by Queen Xie.
Everyone looked at Queen Xie's smile, and the stiff atmosphere just now instantly dissolved, and they all silently thanked the hare for a while, this rabbit died well!
Lin Mumu dismounted and lifted the rabbit up, reached out and touched its head, miserable, the skull was shattered.
After Lin Mumubai picked up a rabbit, Queen Xie began to hunt some prey one after another, but those prey were incomparable to the sika deer at the beginning.
As time passed, the light in the forest became darker and darker, and if they continued to walk, it might be dangerous, and the queen realized this, so she asked everyone to turn around and prepare to go back.
"Roar!"
Just as they were about to turn around, a beast's roar suddenly sounded from the woods.
The people present were shocked, and their faces changed, this is the roar of a big worm!
"Protect the Queen!"
The guards formed a circle around the queen and protected the people.
"Yes, there are beasts, there are beasts!"
The four imperial concubines beside Lin Mumu were so frightened that their faces turned white.
Lin Mumu also looked around vigilantly and clenched the bow in his hand.
Everyone's hearts lifted.
"Roar!"
Another trembling roar sounded, and the horses below him became restless.
"It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, if the horse is frightened, the consequences are unimaginable, take the queen away immediately." She had just carefully distinguished the direction in which the roar was coming from, it was coming from the depths of the forest, and it should not be on their side for a while.
"What the third princess said is to protect the queen and leave."
Fortunately, Lin Mumu and his entourage were not far from the outfield, and it only took two quarters of an hour to come out.
Until they returned to the resting shed and sat down, everyone had not come back to their senses, and if there were really big insects rushing out at that time, I don't know if they would be able to come out alive!
The queen sat on the chair and drank a bowl of soothing tea before she really relieved herself.
"Send someone to the forest to protect the ladies and ladies who have entered the field, but we can't let them be injured by the beast." The queen calmed down and hurriedly commanded.
"Yes."
Although the ladies and ladies who entered the scene all knew a little bit about dabbling, but in front of the beast, their ability was not enough, and now they could only pray that they did not encounter the beast, after all, from the roar of the beast, it could be heard that it did not look like it had been drugged.
"Queen Mother, no, it's not good, Lord Ruolin's team encountered a big insect, several young ladies and ladies were bitten, and Lord Ruolin is gone!"
"What!?" Empress Xie was taken aback, and a pair of delicately depicted brows frowned.
"Immediately find all the ladies and misses, send more people to find the lord of Ruolin, and the emperor will also send more people to protect him, so that the emperor must not make the slightest mistake."
"Yes."
"Lord Ruolin won't be taken away by the big worm!"
