The royal enclosure covers a vast area, and galloping in it is much more enjoyable than in the horse farm in the palace.

She ran a few laps with Ning Guiren, and when Wu Chuan, who was beside Emperor Chu, came to call her, she grabbed the reins and stopped.

Xiao Xuan was dressed in a chic and capable riding uniform, sitting on a tall horse with her hair fluttering, and she was very high-spirited.

"Princess, it's time for dinner, Your Majesty asked me to invite the princess over." Wu Chuan ran to Xiao Xuan's horse in small steps, tilted his head and said to her. "The slave has seen Ning Guiren."

"Since Your Majesty wants to see the princess, then I will go back to the camp to rest first." Ning Guiren said with interest.

Ning Guiren said and rode away.

Xiao Xuan rode to the vicinity of Emperor Chu's tent, and she saw Xiao Jun, the king of Yi, standing in front of Emperor Chu's tent from a distance.

"Sixth brother." Xiao Xuan slowed down and let the horses under his seat slowly paced to Xiao Jun.

"Here we are." Xiao Jun smiled cheerfully and said to Xiao Xuan with a smile. "Come down quickly, my father ordered me to wait for you here."

Xiao Xuan answered, handed the horsewhip in his hand to Xiao Jun, and turned over and dismounted neatly.

After she dismounted, a pennant guard who came with her stepped forward to pick up the horse.

Xiao Xuan followed Xiao Jun into Emperor Chu's tent, and there was a tall figure standing in front of Emperor Chu, who heard the movement outside the door and turned his head when he heard the sound.

When Xiao Xuan saw the man's face, a smile suddenly crept up the corner of his mouth.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Xuan trotted all the way, threw himself into the man's arms, and asked sweetly. "Didn't you say you couldn't spare it?"

That person was Duan Shaolan, who originally said that he couldn't come, he hugged Xiao Xuan who rushed into his arms, and patted her head dotingly.

"Father, no wonder people in the world often say that women marry extroverts." Xiao Jun deliberately shook his head and stepped forward and stood beside Emperor Chu. "Look at her, her heart is full of her horses, but she can't see her father and brother."

Xiao Xuan ignored Xiao Jun's jokes, and hugged Duan Shaolan's waist tightly with both hands.

"Your Majesty is afraid that you will be lonely, so you allow me to bring the affairs to the paddock to dispose of. In this way, I will not delay the errand at hand, and I will be able to accompany you. Duan Shaolan and Xiao Xuan said.

"Thank you, Father," Xiao Xuan looked at Emperor Chu, tilted his head and said to Emperor Chu with a smile.

Xiao Xuan, Duan Shaolan, Xiao Jun and others accompanied Emperor Chu to dinner, and Emperor Chu saw Xiao Xuan, who had drunk some fruit wine, leaning on Duan Shaolan and began to yawn.

"Take her back to the tent to rest." Emperor Chu felt sorry for his daughter, so he instructed Duan Shaolan. "Two days will be the official start of the spring hunt, let her have a good rest tomorrow, and she doesn't have to get up early."

"Yes." Duan Shaolan carefully hugged Xiao Xuan, who was falling under his feet, and got up.

On the second day, Duan Shaolan got up early, and after he freshened up, he found that Xiao Xuan on the bed was still asleep. He didn't let people wake her up, but only brought things that needed to be disposed of by him and dealt with them silently in the account.

When the sun climbed higher, Duan Shaolan heard a murmur behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Xiao Xuan, who was wearing long hair, getting up from the quilt.

"Beware of the cold." Duan Shaolan saw that Xiao Xuan was only wearing a thin bedclothes, so he had to rest assured of the pen in his hand, got up and took the cloak hanging at the head of the bed and draped it on Xiao Xuan's shoulders. "Did you sleep well?"

"Hmm." Xiao Xuan still looked like she was sleeping in a daze, and when Duan Shaolan came to the bedside to put on her cloak, she had already subconsciously leaned her body over.

Duan Shaolan took advantage of the situation to hug her body, looked down at the broken hair on the top of her head, and couldn't help but be very soft by her unconscious attachment movements.

"Don't be coquettish, you've slept a lot more." Duan Shaolan had no choice but to sit down, hugged Xiao Xuan into his arms, and whispered to her while covering her tightly with his cloak. "You heard that it was already very lively outside, and the people of the clan had arrived today. Although today is not the first day of the spring hunt, you should always go out and show your face. ”

"Woo......." Xiao Xuan just didn't answer, she rarely rode a horse yesterday, and when she got up early this morning, she found that her arms and thighs were very sore.

She nested her whole body in Duan Shaolan's nest and was unwilling to move.

"Is it sore?" Seeing her frowning, Duan Shaolan quickly came to his senses and immediately massaged her. "You haven't ridden a horse for more than half a year, and you shouldn't have ridden that long yesterday."

"Don't lecture me." Duan Shaolan's hand movements quickly relieved Xiao Xuan's discomfort, and she grabbed his arm coquettishly, "You press it for me for a while, and when the spring hunt starts, I will accompany my father to hunt together." ”

"Okay, I got it." Duan Shaolan nodded. "I'm glad I came, otherwise I wouldn't be able to worry about leaving you alone."

On the day when the spring hunt officially began, Emperor Chu led several of his sons to worship their ancestors on the altar.

Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan's riding clothes are indigo blue, they are tall and straight, and they are born with white skin, because of Xiao Xuan's status as princesses, the two of them are standing closest to the altar, and they look like they are full of right.

This time, there are a lot of people in the clan, and the Jokhang is quite martial, and the boys and girls from the clan will practice riding and archery when they are young. Many families have brought their juniors to come, you must know that the spring hunting is the best opportunity, and it is usually so easy to see Emperor Chu.

Dazhao is still martial, if the children of the family are brilliant during the spring hunting, maybe they will fall into the eyes of Emperor Chu, and they will naturally have a good future.

When the ceremony was complete, the trumpets at both ends of the altar sounded, and the people who had been waiting for a long time rushed out on horseback and headed out towards the dense forest around the enclosure.

Before the ceremony began, Emperor Chu promised that there would be a heavy reward for winning the first place today, and most of the people who rushed out at this time went for this first place.

Xiao Xuan didn't have a hot eye, she pulled Duan Shaolan and waited for Emperor Chu under the altar.

"Father." Xiao Xuan stepped forward and called obediently.

When Emperor Chu saw his daughter, the expression on his face immediately softened.

"Xuan'er, why don't you go out for a run with the pony?" Emperor Chu beckoned Xiao Xuan to step forward and asked very lovingly. "The horse was born in the pennant guard, and he is also very good at riding and shooting, so maybe he can fight for you for the first place."

"No, I'll stay with him by my father's side." Xiao Xuan and Emperor Chu said. "Why don't you let my father see if my riding skills have regressed?"

Xiao Xuan in front of him held Emperor Chu's arm and talked to him, looking like a harmonious appearance of father and daughter, Xiao Rui, Xiao Lang, Xiao Jun and others behind Emperor Chu were used to seeing their father and daughter's crooked appearance, their faces were as usual, and the brothers laughed and walked forward.

Only Xiao Jin, who was walking at the end, looked at the people in front of him gloomily, and it was just that a few brothers couldn't get together on weekdays. On days like Spring Hunting, several of their brothers were with Emperor Chu, and the members of the clan and the accompanying officials who came to salute Emperor Chu still needed to salute them after saluting Emperor Chu.

Except for Xiao Yu, the king of Qin who stayed in the imperial capital, he was the oldest among the several brothers present, and the partial brothers were all princes, and he was the only one who was the county throne. Every time he was saluted, he seemed to remind Xiao Jin that he was a head lower than his brothers.

But in the end, in front of Emperor Chu, no matter how much resentment there was in his heart, Xiao Jin could only endure it.

After the Jiangnan case, he was snubbed by Emperor Chu until now, although Emperor Chu has now allowed him to return to the court, but the errands assigned to him are trivial things, where can Xiao Jin, who has always been strong, stand it.

This time, Xiao Yu was left in the imperial capital by Emperor Chu, and this spring hunt became a rare opportunity for Xiao Jin to get close to Emperor Chu and seek to turn over. He had been planning for a long time, and he had to calm down to get things done.

Everyone got on the horse, and Emperor Chu let Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan be the closest to him, followed by his sons, and then followed by the pennant guards who accompanied him on the outermost side.

The people rode their horses into the woods, and the paddock was full of wild beasts, some big and some small, and they were not kept in captivity in order to maintain their wild nature.

Emperor Chu asked Xiao Xuan to shoot the first arrow, Xiao Xuan was on good accuracy, and he shot a rabbit as soon as the arrow went out.

"I'll leave this rabbit to my father." Xiao Xuan put away the bow, turned around and said to Emperor Chu with a smile. "Let people bake it for my father to eat at night, since you come to the paddock, you don't have to eat those exquisite dishes, and you can only eat it when you roast it."

"Okay, it's all up to you." Such a trivial matter, Emperor Chu has always been in line with Xiao Xuan's intentions.

Everyone accompanied Emperor Chu all the way to the depths of the forest, and they also met some people along the way.

On the way, I heard that today's first name is obtained by the eldest son of Nan'an Hou Mansion, Nan'an Hou Mansion is a distant branch of the clan, and there are no outstanding people in the previous generation of the family, so I focus on cultivating the heirs of this generation. Today, the eldest son of his family won the first name, so he was naturally listed in front of Emperor Chu.

Duan Shaolan always walked two or three steps behind Xiao Xuan on his horse, Xiao Xuan suddenly saw the figure of a white fox flashing in the forest, she was not sure that she could hunt it without hurting the white fox's fur, and hurriedly beckoned Duan Shaolan to come out of the horse.

Duan Shaolan agreed to her and stepped forward.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and suddenly there was an exclamation not far from everyone, followed by a scalp-numbing buzzing sound, and a group of alarmed wild bees flew out of the hive, gathered into a black mass, and flew violently in the direction where Emperor Chu and the others were.

Everyone didn't have time to react, the wild bees were difficult, and now they had to drive the horses to dodge.

Duan Shaolan happened to be not on the path of the wild bees, he just wanted to step forward, but the horses under him seemed to be afraid of the wild bees, but Duan Shaolan was still entrenched in place no matter how he urged him to move.

Xiao Xuan has been following Emperor Chu's side closely, but the wild bees came too fast, chasing closer and closer, Xiao Xuan listened to the movement getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but be afraid.

"Xuan'er, run separately." Emperor Chu noticed Xiao Xuan's strange appearance, and while stepping up his horse to move forward, he turned his head and said to Xiao Xuan.

said that it was too late, and before Xiao Xuan could react, her horse had been besieged by dozens of wild bees, and her hands had also been stung by wild bees, and there was a huge pain in her palm, so she subconsciously raised her hand and tightened the reins.

Her horse raised its front half of its body, neighing and kicking its hooves indiscriminately, and actually kicked the horse under Emperor Chu's seat at once.
