Si Mei rushed to the ground: "Princess, I heard that this side of the palace is next to the forest, and you can hear the wolf howling at night!" ”

"Wolves?" Ye Congwei had never heard of it, "Don't be afraid, the walls are high, they can't get in." ”

The palace was set up to facilitate the emperor to lead his people to hunt nearby, and it was in the paddock, and a huge forest could be seen in the distance.

Si Zhu smiled lightly: "We should also pay attention to the daytime, in the past, the saints came over, and the guards guarded the surroundings tightly, this time it is different, we are all like this." ”

"What do you mean by Sister Si Zhu?" Si Mei was taken aback: "Isn't there still a fierce beast coming out during the day?" ”

"There may be people who get lost here, but I can't rule it out." Si Zhu replied.

Si Mei was suddenly frightened: "Just now I said that I could go out and see the scenery......"

Now she has the courage to take risks.

Ye Congwei shook his head and smiled: "Look at you, you are scared, everything has a spirit, and the ears and nose of fierce beasts are sensitive, and you can avoid it when you notice that there are people in the palace." ”

Don't think that only humans are afraid of beasts, why don't they be afraid of people?

Si Mei pouted: "Isn't it just in case......"

"Anyway, we can't be wrong to be cautious." Silan concluded.

…………

A few maids put all the beds and couches in order, splendid upholstery, their own tablecloths and tableware, etc.

After a while, Qi Su, who was hunting on horseback, came back, and there was a lot of harvest on horseback.

The royal hunting ground, no one enters on weekdays, only the slaves who guard the paddock and the palace are there.

The prey in the forest is fat and undisturbed, so it is that Qi Su does not have to go deep, and with his own archery skills, he returns from the harvest early.

Ye Congwei heard the movement and went out, and saw the high-spirited man on horseback, at this moment, he seemed to leak a trace of good edge.

But fleetingly, Qi Su lowered his eyes and laughed informably: "This king has met a fox spirit all the time. ”

"What?" Ye Congwei thought that he had heard something.

Qi Su turned over and dismounted, shook off his empty quiver, and fished out a fluffy little guy from his bulging arms.

His palm was the size of his hand, and the dusty thing curled up just enough to fill his entire hand.

"The little fox who threw himself into his arms is just a little ugly." Qi Su looked at its gray fur slightly critically.

"......" It turns out that this is the vixen......

Ye Congwei was watching, and suddenly the gray ball was thrown over and fell into her arms.

She scrambled to catch: "It, does it hurt?" ”

"If I dare to bite you, I will peel the skin and dry it and hang it up." Qi Su raised his eyebrows.

The gray-haired little fox didn't dare to move at all, and just wanted to hide his head.

Ye Congwei inexplicably got such a little pet, he didn't dare to touch it, so he could only hold it with both hands.

There was no need for Qi Su to order, the freshly hunted prey was brought down, and it was served as soon as it was cooked, and it was almost noon.

For the sake of the upcoming delicacy, it doesn't hurt to postpone this lunch.

Ye Congwei called a few maids and asked who could take care of the little fox.

If you don't want it, you can't do it, just keep it first, just don't die.

Si Mei is relatively lively and fun-loving, and volunteered to take care of the little gray hair.

If you bring it back, there will already be three small animals.

The canary two days ago, the lark sent by Young Master Cui yesterday, plus this little fox......

It's very lively!

After a delicious lunch, they slept in wide-sleeved soft clothes and reclined on a low couch to rest.

He didn't close his eyes, and looked at Ye Congwei, who was looking at the little fox through the cage.

"In the afternoon, the king went into the forest to hunt, and the princess wanted to go with him?"

Ye Congwei raised his face: "The concubine can't even ride a horse, so I'm afraid it will get in the way." ”

"Don't want to go?" Qi Su asked.

Ye Congwei quietly looked at him and snorted: "...... I'm still not going...... "He won't be angry at her refusal, will he?"

Riding a horse in the forest is probably more difficult than leveling the official road, she can't even count half a bucket of water, and the skin and flesh of her legs still hurt.

"But what does the king want you to do?" Qi Su looked at her with a smile.

Ye Congwei was a little stunned, he wanted her to go?

didn't have time to think about it, and he had already promised it: "Since the prince has the heart to think about the concubine, the concubine is happy to go." ”

Qi Su was satisfied, and hooked his finger at her: "Come here." ”

Ye Congwei was very obedient, one sentence at a time, went over to lie down with his clothes, and took a nap with him.

I close my eyes, but my heart is not at peace.

She didn't dare to ask why Qi Su wanted her to go with her, faintly, she was already aware in her heart of the purpose behind his various words and deeds......

********

In the afternoon, the king's order could not be violated, and Ye Congwei got on the horse again.

This time, instead of riding with Qi Su, she had a foal of her own, and the attendant held the reins for her.

Women participate in hunting, not unheard of in this dynasty, but they can't ride horses and need to be led by people, and they are the first ones.

Seeing this scene, there were not only the attendants of the palace who followed, but also the servants who stayed behind in the palace.

Ye Congwei glanced at Qi Su beside him, he did not hit the horse and run ahead, but accompanied her in a slow and leisurely manner.

"The princess has never hunted in the woods, so don't be scared by blood." Qi Su said softly.

Ye Congwei pursed the corners of her lips: "The concubine is not afraid." ”

She is a person who has experienced death, and she is really not afraid, the animals or people around her are dead, how can the touch be stronger than her own death?

"This king has commanded men to stay by your side, and nothing will be lost."

The group drove the horse into the forest slowly, Qi Su left An Yan behind, and took a few people to protect Ye Congwei, and he himself called a few others to speed up the speed and go deep into the forest.

"Please wait here for the princess's good news." An Yan said with a smile.

"Okay." Ye Congwei nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

She walked slowly and in place, and it was not so torturous on horseback, but the wound at the root of her leg still hurt.

I took the medicine near noon, and in the afternoon I came to ride a horse again......

Ye Congwei couldn't understand why Qi Su asked her to come with her, and now he left her in the outer circle to stand by.

It's for ...... Do you want to show it to some people?

In order to create a phenomenon that is not real, it is deliberately done.

Ye Congwei's mind was full of thoughts, and there was no expression on his face, quietly looking at the tall trees, lush and green.

I don't know how long it took, but the sound of horses' hooves came galloping.

"Brother Yan, the prince ordered the doctor to follow me quickly." One of the guards shouted.

He is another handsome servant in Qisu, and his name is repeated.

An Yan was shocked when she heard this: "What's the matter?" Is the prince injured? ”

"Definitely," Repeat Chu shook his head and explained, "It's the prince's prey that is injured, what a big white tiger!" ”

An Yan opened her mouth wide: "It was rumored that there were tigers in the forest two years ago, is it true?" ”

He was amazed, did not dare to delay, and hurriedly asked the accompanying doctor to carry the medicine box and follow the horse with Chu on horseback.

Ye Congwei's heart was first tightened, and then released, it was about to come true, the news she had heard in her previous life.

This huge mountain forest has been enclosed in the hands of the royal family for many years, and no one can set foot except for the emperor's annual hunting.

It is undisturbed and wild, and it is not uncommon to have tigers.

Thinking that Qi Su should have caught one alive, it would be brought back, and it would be watched all the way from the city gate to the palace, and it was extremely swaggering.

I don't know if they have such a big iron cage...... Ye Congwei thought casually.

"How heroic the prince is, he actually hit the tiger!" An Yan's face was full of excitement.

His heart flew over with the repeated Chu, and he had no choice but to be ordered to guard the princess, and he couldn't go to see the excitement.

Waiting in place, Qi Su came back on horseback, he was alone, there was no half of his entourage behind him, and there was no tiger shadow.

"Lord Wang!" An Yan's eyes were blazing.

As soon as Qi Su saw his expression, he knew what he was thinking, and ordered: "You go back to the palace to get a board car and go to meet with Zong Chu." ”

"Order!" An Yan was immediately overjoyed, turned the horse's head, and galloped towards the palace.

Ye Congwei watched the person disappear and said curiously: "I heard that the prince hit a tiger?" ”

"It has bad luck and crashes into the hands of this king, and the days of the king of the mountains are over." Qi Su raised his lips and smiled.

He added: "I finally found a roe deer and fed it." ”

"Did the prince feed it meat?" Ye Congwei frowned, isn't he still detained?

Qi Su raised his chin: "The princess will see it later." ”

…………

An Yan was fast, took a few powerful servants from the palace, and dragged the cart into the depths of the forest.

Several people surrounded the big white tiger, and they only needed to help carry it and tie it firmly with a large thick rope.

As for why the big white tiger is so cooperative, it is because it has been stunned by anesthetic.

Qi Su injured it when he fought with it, and called the accompanying healer to come over, the first time was not to heal the wound, you must know that the fierce beast that was provoked and fell into a desperate situation was even more powerful.

He mixed the anesthetic into the flesh and blood of the roe deer, fed the white tiger, and took advantage of its physical strength to fall to the ground, only to rush up and subdue it.

Qi Su intended to capture him alive, so he called a doctor to give the white tiger medicine to stop bleeding.

Such a heavy big guy can't be dragged without a cart, and several people work together to push the wheel.

Qi Su took Ye Congwei to wait at the edge of the forest, and the cart came out before returning to the palace together.

The news that Prince Yu had hunted a tiger spread throughout the palace in an instant, and some slaves who were idle couldn't help but come out to watch.

Si Mei was very excited, grabbed Si Lan and said, "Isn't it time to eat tiger meat for dinner?" ”

"Not necessarily," Si Lan shook his head and said, "I'll prepare hot tea, don't be scared by the princess." ”

"Oh, I'll go too." Si Mei reacted in hindsight.

As everyone knows, Ye Congwei was not frightened at all, although the white tiger was drenched in blood.

She patronized the frayed wound at the base of her leg, and it hurt at the slightest touch.

Seeing that the paralyzed big tiger, the wound had stopped bleeding, but it was still embarrassed, Ye Congwei somehow felt a little sympathy.

Of course, the White Tiger will be even more miserable than her, and it has become a prisoner of the human ranks.

Qi fatalized the people to arrange an independent courtyard to hold the white tiger, and before the iron cage was delivered, it was in the courtyard to recuperate.

It looks like it is stained with a lot of blood, which is quite terrifying, but in fact there are only two wounds, and for a tiger with strong self-healing ability, it will not be long before it will be intact.
