From the capital to Mulan, it took half a month, although the official road was smooth all the way, Lin Xianyu was still in pain from his buttocks.

However, when I saw the vast scenery of the Mulan paddock, I felt that I was not losing in this life.

After crossing three times, she was finally fortunate to see the grassland scenery, although this is not Horqin, but Lin Xianyu thought that this grassland is also rich in water and grass, as far as the eye can see, presumably compared with the Horqin grassland in Tana's mouth, it is not far behind.

In fact, this was originally a hunting ground for Mongolian tribes, and it was originally forcibly carved out of a paddock of more than 10,000 square kilometers by Kangxi in the name of "Karaqin, Aohan, and Weng Niute flags dedicated to pastures".

The paddock is so big that even if so many people come to hunt, it will not be able to hunt it all. According to the topography and the distribution of birds and beasts, the Mulan enclosure is divided into 72 hunting grounds, and each time Mulan Autumn Hunting will only select a few of them to hunt, so that the rotation can also allow wild beasts and wild birds to multiply and not become extinct.

These are all things that the fourth master said to her casually when she slept with the fourth master at night.

This time he accompanied the northern tour, and the fourth master did not bring other concubines, in fact, at the beginning, Lin Xianyu also suggested that the fourth master bring Geng's and Niu Hulu's, but the fourth master refused. Even the beauties sent by local officials refused to accept any of them.

It's not that the fourth master is high, but the fourth master seems to be wary of something.

Lin Xianyu thought that he was about to usher in the prelude to the abolition of the prince, and the fourth master had participated in the two parties for so many years, so he should have seen some signs, so he didn't want to bring too many people, and he didn't want to accept people from unknown origins.

After arriving in Mulan, Yinzhen earnestly told himself Fujin, "You and Hongyu don't go too far, even if you want to go hunting, remember to bring more people." ”

Lin Xianyu nodded hurriedly, the main purpose of this Mulan hunt is not actually hunting, but a disguised military exercise, one is to deter the Mongolian tribes, and the other is to feast the Mongolian tribes to connect feelings.

On the first day of the hunt, it was a large-scale deer hunt "acting***** the first shot, followed by the prince, and then the prince and his relatives went into battle, which was really lively.

After the deer hunt, it's time to give free rein to your riding and archery skills. The sons and grandsons of the emperor and the children of the clan who have achieved fruitful hunting results will run to the emperor to offer their prey in order to obtain the emperor's praise.

The Mulan paddock is lively, which is a scenery that is not available in Beijing. Hongyu is also the first time to come to Mulan, and he is really happy, the other princes have not brought their heirs here, and Hongyu has become more and more familiar with the eighteenth elder brother.

Kangxi is really a capable person of reproduction, and the most favored ones now are the small-footed women of the Han family such as the Wang family and the Chen family, and these eighteen elder brothers are from the concubines of the Wang family. This princess gave birth to three elder brothers to Kangxi, a bad old man, one after another, but she was only a concubine.

It seems that it was in Kangxi's later years that he finally became a concubine.

Of course, that's all for later.

According to the imaginary age, Hongyu is already twelve years old, and the eighteenth elder brother is also eight years old, both of which are just and lively years. The eighteenth elder brother obviously can't play with the brothers in front of him who have already started a family, but he looks very compatible with Hongyu.

It's a pity that this child's time is running out.

In the first few days of arriving in Mulan, Lin Xianyu also met with the princes of various Mongolian tribes, Fujin, who was familiar with the Mongolian language and had no obstacles to communicate with the Mongols. It's a pity that Tana couldn't come, one is that Tana's body is not very good at this age, and the other is that the emperor has no obligation to bring his concubine.

Kangxi only brought the Queen Mother, and the main purpose was to let the Queen Mother act as a tool to contact the Mongolian ministry, and secondly, to show his filial piety.

The emperor toured the north, and the concubines who accompanied him were all young, beautiful and humble new favorites, and none of the old four concubines came.

Therefore, among Mulan's female dependents, Lin Xianyu's identity is top-notch.

Therefore, Lin Xianyu was often summoned by the Queen Mother to accompany him and act as the Queen Mother's tool.

After working hard for several days, Lin Xianyu finally had time, so he said to the fourth master: "If you are free, why don't you take me and Hongyu out hunting." ”

Yin Zhen seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly came back to her senses when she heard her voice, "In the past few days, you seem to be by the side of the Queen Mother." ”

Lin Xianyu was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why the fourth master suddenly asked this, so he said: "Yes, this time the emperor went on a northern tour, and he brought a few concubines and nobles, and they didn't understand Mongolian." Naturally, the Queen Mother could only ask me to accompany me. ”

Yinzhen said "Hmm", it is common for elderly high-ranking concubines to not be able to accompany them, but there are still a few young and proficient Mongolian concubines on the concubine position, and Khan Ama did not bring ......

Yin Zhen let out a long sigh, "The wind and rain are coming." ”

Lin Xianyu said with a smile: "I also see that my master has not gone out to hunt in the past two days. "—Spent all day in the tent, either reading official documents or consulting with advisers, and was somewhat alienated from the Mongol princes. is not as good at dancing as Babel with long sleeves, and he is very enthusiastic with his relatives and nobles.

Yin Zhen hesitated in his eyes, and then said: "Okay, just go out to relax." ”

Being able to go out hunting with his father, Hongyu was as excited as a child.

Well, it was meant to be a child.

The fourth master is serious, and he can't help but ask his son to behave solemnly and not smile, so since he entered the school, Hongyu has become more and more like a little old man.

Lin Xianyu said that it is enough to have a fourth master in the Sibeile Mansion, and it is really unbearable to have a copy of it.

The horse's hooves clicked, and Lin Xianyu's mood became more and more brisk.

Mulan paddock is not only a large grassland, but also thousands of acres of forest, it is the end of summer, Mulan here is much cooler than Beijing, the breeze is blowing, the air is mixed with the aroma of wild flowers and wild fruits, even if you don't hunt, this is also a good place to travel.

Lin Xianyu took a deep breath of the air in the forest, such air has become extinct in modern times.

She suddenly saw that the fourth master suddenly drew his bow, and the feathers and arrows went straight into a trembling bush.

The guards immediately pounced, picked up their prey, and retrieved their feathered arrows.

It was a flower-tailed hazel chicken, dusty, and hidden in the grass, and the fourth master's eyesight was really good.

Lin Xianyu didn't know whether this chicken was a first-class or second-class protected animal, anyway, it was a beast sitting in prison.

However, in the Mulan paddock, these rare birds and beasts are everywhere, and they are not rare at all.

This paddock is full of pine, cypress, and cedar, and is an area with more wild birds. And there are no big prey, no large ones are herbivorous and meaty.

Because he wanted to bring women and children, the fourth master specially chose this area.

The advantage is that it is safe, and there are fewer people.

Those children of the clan and the children of the Eight Banners all flocked to the paddock in the beast area, and at the worst they had to hunt a large herbivore, hunt pheasants, ducks, hares or something, and they really couldn't take it to the royal front.

Lin Xianyu likes it here, it's quiet and the scenery is good.

Although Lin Xianyu has also gone to Taoshan Courtyard to hunt over the years, the prey is mainly hares, and those hares are specially caught and raised for a period of time, and they can no longer be completely wild. At first glance, it was a bit difficult for her to hunt these pure natural wild animals, and she didn't open her eyes.

Hares and pheasants fled from her arrows, and in the end, thanks to a stupid roe deer, she did not lose any of them.

Even Hongyu hunted a pair of wild ducks......

Seeing that she shot a fat wild roe deer, Yin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and said in her heart: It seems that there is no need to call the guards to drive a group of wild animals over.

Lin Xianyu smiled brightly, "Fourth master, let's go back and roast roe deer meat and eat it?" ”

Looking at this smiling face, Yin Zhen couldn't help but stretch his brows, he raised his eyes and glanced at the increasingly dark clouds in the sky, "It's changed, it's time to go back." ”

Yin Zhen glanced behind him, but found that Hongyu was no longer behind him.

Of course, Hongyu will not be lost, there are so many Baylor House guards following.

I saw Hongyu running over with a small soft and cute little guy in his arms, "Amma, Eniang, there is a puppy by the river, and I don't know who lost it." ”

Hongyu is a blue and white little cutie in his arms, looking at the unweaned, soft and velvety, and the collar with gilt pearls on his neck, which is very conspicuous.

Lin Xianyu looked at this little thing and almost blurted out: Husky?!
