When winter comes, it is a good time for winter hunting.

Winter hunting originated from the customs handed down from ancient times, and since the opening of the dynasty, Daqing Kingdom has held a grand royal winter hunting event every winter.

Because winter is not the breeding period for animals, killing animals will not only promote animal reproduction, but also achieve the purpose of balancing the number of animals, and can reward the ministers and soldiers accompanying the army.

It was also a good opportunity for the emperor to lead the civil and military officials and the imperial nobles to practice riding and archery and temper their physical fitness.

Early in the morning on the day of the winter hunt, the weather was cold and the sky was clear.

The carriage from the Prince's Mansion arrived at the meeting place early.

Because several princes were going to ride forward, they sat alone in the carriage with Fu Yuanyuan.

Yinbao's little gossip quickly lifted the curtain and came in to report: "Niangniang, the carriage of the Pingguo Mansion has arrived, and I heard that the grandfather of the country and the three masters are with me." ”

Fu Yuanyuan: "Is my mother here?" ”

Yinbao shook his head: "None of the ladies of the Pingguo Mansion participated in this winter hunt. ”

Sighing a little regretfully, thinking that it was reasonable for my mother to take care of her younger brother, who was still young, and not to participate in the winter hunt.

As he was talking, he saw the curtain lifted, and Jade probed with a smile and said, "Niangniang, the third princess and the second girl Chang are here." ”

"Yuan Yuan, this way will take place in the afternoon," Tong Lu pulled Chang Xishu and walked in, the two of them found a place to sit down comfortably, and said with a smile, "Let's sit down and talk about how time flies." ”

I haven't seen Chang Xishu for a while, Fu Yuanyuan looked at her and seemed to have cleared up a little, thinking of her and You Yifei, he sighed in his heart but couldn't speak.

Fortunately, Tong Lu is a chatterbox, and the three of them have endless topics to talk about along the way.

The royal hunting ground of the winter hunt is about half a day's journey from the capital, and at noon, the mighty team has a light meal in the field, and then continues to rush after a short rest.

It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west that the big team finally arrived at the royal hunting grounds.

The next step is to set up camp.

The winter hunt lasts for a few days, and everyone has to live in a tent like their ancestors.

The conditions are much more difficult than those in the capital, but Emperor Qingyuan also lives in tents, and naturally no one dares to mention the word 'bitter' among the officials and courtiers who came with him.

In Emperor Qingyuan's view, the winter hunt is to train hundreds of officials and nobles well, and recall the difficulty of the ancestors to conquer the country.

It is to arrange all to be simple.

Naturally, the work of setting up tents will not bother the masters.

Fu Yuanyuan had just gotten out of the carriage, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Qin Ze's smiling face that had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing this, Tong Lu pulled Chang Xishu to the side, and without taking two steps, Qin Hao also hurriedly ran up.

With the eyes that she hadn't seen her daughter-in-law all the way, she missed her very much, which made Tong Lu blush.

Chang Xishu was about to leave with interest, and heard Chang Xiyu's call from a distance: "Second sister! ”

Chang Xiyu ran over and walked to Qin Ze with Chang Xishu: "Brother Prince, it's still early before dinner, why don't you take Xiyu to the place where you watched the sunset last time?" ”

"I remember that the sunset was big and round, but it was beautiful!"

Fu Yuanyuan glanced at Chang Xiyu, who was smiling sweetly, and asked in Qin Ze's ear: "Aze, did you take Chang San's sister to see the sunset last year?" ”

Qin Ze only felt a chill in his ears, and hurriedly explained: "What my cousin said should be the time when we went to see the sunset together during the winter hunt last year. ”

"Brother Prince, let's go quickly, shall we?"

Chang Xiyu stepped forward and grabbed Qin Ze's sleeve, raised his face and eyes were watery, "Xiyu has already let people lead the horse over!" ”

The people turned their heads and saw several servants leading their horses.

Qin Hao took his daughter-in-law's hand, touched his chin and said, "These are only four horses, how can I go?" ”

Chang Xiyu walked quickly to her little red horse and winked innocently: "I didn't think so much when I came over, so I asked the servants to send me and Sister Xishu, as well as the horses of the prince's brother and the third prince's brother." ”

She looked at Fu Yuanyuan and then at Tong Lu, tilted her head and discussed: "Why don't you wait for a while for the crown princess and the third princess, and let the servants lead your horses over and then follow?" ”

Fu Yuanyuan and Tong Lu did not respond.

Chang Xiyu's childish approach seems to them to be a bit petty.

Instead, Qin Ze smiled lightly: "It's okay." ”

After that, he jumped on the horse lightly, then took Fu Yuanyuan's hand, took her to the horse, hugged his daughter-in-law in his arms, and smiled handsomely: "Cousin Xiyu is doing well, cousin is trying to ride with your cousin." ”

Qin Hao, who was about to be worried, saw this, his eyes lit up, and he pulled Tong Lu to get on the horse: "Brother Huang, go!" See who rides fast? ”

Qin Ze glanced at him: "If you want to accompany the horse at any time, now safety is the best." ”

With that, he whipped the reins of his horse and rode forward.

Chang Xiyu, who was left behind, gritted his teeth, grabbed the reins of the horse, and turned over on the horse.

looked at the two horses that were drifting away, and couldn't help urging: "Second sister, let's go!" ”

Chang Xishu, who was going to go back to the camp, looked ahead and sighed in his heart.

She didn't know the third sister's thoughts, but seeing her cousin and Yuan Yuan, the third prince and Ah Lu in pairs, why bother to go up and join in the fun?

If she doesn't follow, it's not good to turn around and leave the third sister alone.

Although the paddock is safe, the third sister is just a girl who has not yet reached the end, and as a cousin, she can't sit idly by.

Then he took the horse and turned over and jumped up: "Third sister, let's go." ”

The winter hunting ground is a vast grassland, Fu Yuanyuan nests in Qin Ze's arms, behind him is a warm and solid chest, and in front of him is an endless vastness, which makes people feel endless comfort.

"Huh? Aze, why don't you follow the Third Emperor Brother? ”

Seeing that Qin Ze had chosen a different path from Qin Hao in front of him, Fu Yuanyuan couldn't help but turn his head and ask curiously.

"The grassland is wide, and there are countless places where you can watch the sunset." The corners of Qin Ze's mouth rose, and his dark eyes stared at Fu Yuandao, "Manman, don't you think it's more interesting for the two of us to watch the sunset that belongs to us alone?" ”

After walking for most of the day, I finally had the opportunity to be alone with my daughter-in-law, who wants to be mixed with the rest of the people?

Xu is sunlight stained layers of halo in those deep black eyes, and Fu Yuanyuan suddenly felt that his heart was beating faster.

His gaze swept over the faint flush on his pink cheeks, Qin Ze grabbed the horse's belly and galloped towards the path ahead.

"The desert is lonely, and the sun sets on the long river."

Two quarters of an hour later, Qin Ze's horse stopped beside a winding stream, and the horse went to the water's edge to forage for grass, he took Fu Yuanyuan into his arms, and sat on the grass with the two snuggled together, watching the round sunset in the sky reluctantly sinking into the skyline.

The whole grassland is shrouded in a layer of golden light, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyes the grassland with a touch of rouge-like pale red, making the grassland both rugged and unique.
