Spring hunting is a very hard job, and it is not as comfortable as imagined.

Meng Xilan and Zhou Youning nested in the car all day, and in the evening, after arriving at the paddock, the two of them stepped out of the carriage, and their knees couldn't help but be a little sore.

Meng Xilan's feet were a little soft, especially when she stepped on the soft blanket, her legs were soft, and she almost fell.

Zhou Youning was the same, he looked up and smiled at Meng Xilan, "Sister, the two of us are so useless." ”

Meng Xilan smiled slightly: "It's a shame that I'm just riding in a car today, if we carry a bow and shoot arrows, the two of us will make a big joke." ”

The sky is slowly darkening, and in the camp, piles of high bonfires are lit, bright and brilliant, and a grand dinner is about to begin.

It's not in the palace at this time, there are a lot of cumbersome rules, Zhou Shixian is in a very good mood, and he just wants to have a drink with his sons and have a good time.

Zhou Youning and Meng Xilan also sat at the table together, sitting under Zhou Shixian's left hand, facing the two brothers, Zhou Youlin and Zhou Youwen.

As for Zhou Youchen, he was the youngest prince and should have sat in the farthest position from Zhou Shixian, but today, Zhou Shixian made an exception and let him sit directly next to him, which caused a lot of red eyes.

During the banquet, Meng Xilan's eyes kept falling on Zhou Youchen's body intentionally or unintentionally, paying attention to whether he had made any mistakes in his rudeness.

But tonight, Zhou Youchen's performance is still very decent, sitting and eating, but his expression is a little hard and not very pleasing.

After three rounds of drinking, a faint flush appeared on everyone's faces, but Meng Xilan's face remained unchanged, she never drank, every time she raised her glass, she just dipped it on her lips, and put it down again.

Zhou Youning was already a little drunk, blushing, stood up and said, "Father, the son will sing you a song to cheer up, okay?" ”

Zhou Shixian stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay, my Ning'er, the singing is the best!" ”

As soon as his words fell, Zhou Youwen suddenly got up and said: "Father, although Ning'er's singing voice is good, she is the only one who stands up and sings, so she is a little lonely, why don't you ask someone to dance for her?" ”

As he spoke, he locked his gaze on Meng Xilan's body, raising his eyebrows and looking slightly provocative.

Meng Xilan was disgusted in her heart, but she had to show a faint smile on her face, and said softly: "Your Royal Highness Sixth has lifted me, I am not good at singing and dancing, how can I come out to show ugliness." ”

Zhou Youwen seemed to want to make things difficult for her, but said: "It's all my own family, and when we get together, how can we make fun of it?" ”

Zhou Youlin, who was on the side, frowned unhappily when he heard this, but he still didn't say a word, just quietly drank the wine in his wine glass.

Zhou Youning was not half drunk, he couldn't hear the voice of the sixth brother's words, and thought that he was sincerely invited, so he walked to Meng Xilan's side with a smile, took her hand, and said coquettishly: "Sister will accompany me." ”

Meng Xilan looked at Zhou Youwen's meaningful smile, the hesitation on her face disappeared instantly, and then showed a faint smile, walked up to Zhou Shixian, and said, "Then I will be ugly." ”

Zhou Shixian nodded with a smile: "Well, now that you are not in the palace, you don't have to be so restrained all the time." ”

Meng Xilan got up slowly, and then quietly retreated to the center of the big tent, standing quietly, waiting for Zhou Youning to start singing.

Zhou Youwen leaned back slightly, and deliberately smiled at Zhou Youlin. Zhou Youlin glared at him coldly.

He couldn't see it, he was deliberately trying to see Meng Xilan's embarrassment......

Zhou Youning blushed with a small face, and sang in a shy and timid whisper: "Red beans...... Shengnanguo ...... Spring is coming...... Send a few sprigs...... May you ...... Collect more ...... Pick ...... This thing...... The most ......ahhh Acacia ......"

Her singing voice is sweet and beautiful, melodious, sweet but not greasy, revealing the shyness and longing of a girl.

Meng Xilan took a deep breath, stepped on a gentle step, and danced her body. Although she has never learned to dance, she has been a human being in two lives, and she has seen many outstanding dancers perform.

As the so-called learning is the same, her body is already soft and slender, and under the dim candlelight, her dress is fluttering, which is even more graceful and graceful. In her gestures, although she is jerky, she is still beautiful and moving, especially the thin waist of Chu Chu, which is less than a hand, is even more eye-catching, adding a little bit of coquettishness to her youthful temperament.

All of a sudden, whether it was a master or a minion, everyone's eyes fell on her.

Zhou Shixian looked even more interested, he boasted that he was also a person who read countless women, and he had seen many stunning beauties, but now when he saw Meng Xilan who was dancing, his chest burned unconsciously, as if he had been stirred up into a fire.

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes slightly, and didn't look at the reaction of others, she finished dancing quietly, and then curtsied and said, "Xilan is ugly." ”

Zhou Youlin was fascinated by it, and he didn't know how to react for a while, but Zhou Youwen, who was beside him, took the lead in standing up and applauding, and said, "Okay!" Wonderful! It turns out that you are deeply hidden! ”

When Meng Xilan heard this, she raised her eyes and glanced at him, but with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, she looked very indifferent: "Your Highness the Sixth has won the award." ”

Zhou Shixian cleared his throat, relieved himself, and nodded: "Ning'er's singing voice is wonderful, and your dancing posture is not inferior, I like it very much." ”

After Zhou Youning finished singing, his little face turned redder than just now, and his watery eyes looked at Meng Xiran, who was standing behind Zhou Youlin, and suddenly laughed.

In fact, she relied on this dizzy wine strength to sing to him.

Meng Xiran was unprepared, and after his expression was slightly stunned, he hurriedly lowered his head quickly.

Meng Xilan walked over and slowly supported Zhou Youning, looked at Zhou Shixian and said, "Your Majesty, the princess is not strong enough to drink, it's time to go back and rest." ”

Zhou Shixian was obviously still a little unsatisfied, but seeing his daughter's flushed face, he still nodded and said, "Go, my daughter's family shouldn't be greedy for a cup in the first place." ”

Meng Xilan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and helped Zhou Youning to go back to the big tent first.

Zhulu came in with a basin of hot water, twisted a handkerchief and handed it over: "Master, the princess is full of wine, do you want to take a bath first?" ”

Meng Xilan saw that Zhou Youning was already sleepy, took the towel, and shook her head: "Don't toss, the princess is very tired today, let her sleep." You guys help her change her clothes, so don't bother her. After speaking, she wiped Zhou Youning's face with a towel, who knows, Zhou Youning's mouth moved slightly, and gently called a name out: "Brother Xiran......"

Meng Xilan was slightly stunned in her heart.

Zhulu and Zhuqing also heard it, but they didn't dare to be sure, so they quickly turned around and were busy with other things.

Meng Xilan sighed softly, patted Zhou Youning's shoulder, and coaxed her to sleep. "Princess, obedient, sleep well."

It turns out that she hasn't forgotten her second brother......

The banquet outside lasted until late at night, and Zhou Shixian was drunk and unconscious.

Zhou Youlin originally didn't have the heart to drink, but he didn't want to ruin his father's good interest. Xu Yes, if the wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk, and after three or five glasses of wine, his brain is a little messy.

Zhou Youwen sat at the end of the cup, and refused to get up to return to the account, the minions couldn't persuade him, they could only count on Zhou Youlin to say a word.

Zhou Youlin kicked him with his foot, "Sixth, get up." ”

Zhou Youwen took the wine glass, stood up and said, "Fourth brother, I finally figured out one thing today......" After speaking, he pointed to the palace people around him, "You all go down, get down!" ”

When the eunuchs heard this, they all avoided it.

Zhou Youlin turned to look at him, and said with an unkind face: "What are you doing drunk?" ”

"Fourth brother, I finally know why you like Meng Xilan's girl?" Zhou Youwen smiled maliciously and came to his side: "That girl does hide a lot of surprises. ”

She looks good and dances well, but the best thing is her body......

Zhou Youlin frowned deeply, looked at Zhou Youwen sharply, and said in a deep voice: "If you say one more word to her, I won't let you go." ”

Zhou Youwen saw that he was about to be angry with himself again, so he took two steps back, slammed the wine glass on the ground and said, "Fourth brother, don't always lose your temper with me." I'm on your side...... Don't you see? The way her father looked at her, his eyes changed......"

When Zhou Youlin heard this, his eyes were dyed with a dull haze.

Zhou Youwen took advantage of the wine gall and patted Zhou Youlin's shoulder: "Fourth brother, if you don't hurry up, the cooked ducks will fly away." ”

Zhou Youlin coldly flicked his sleeves and shook off the hand he was putting on his shoulder.

Zhou Youwen saw him leaving, and stomped his feet a little angrily: "Fourth brother, if you don't listen to me, sooner or later you will regret it." ”

Early the next morning, except for Zhou Youwen, who was hangover, everyone packed up neatly and prepared to officially start the annual spring hunt.

There are too many prey in this paddock to count, Zhou Shixian set the lottery, whoever hunts the most will get the jade wrench in his hand.

Zhou Youlin is full of confidence. In terms of riding and archery, there is no one in the palace who can match his strength. Before the game even started, he seemed to have the win in his hands.

Zhou Youning and Meng Xilan are daughters, and they rarely ride horses, but now in order to please the head, they also join in the fun.

Before hunting, everyone has to draw their bow and shoot a red feather arrow, and follow the results on the target to decide who goes first and who is behind.

When hunting, the sound of horses' hooves will alarm the prey to flee in all directions, so the later you set out, the less likely it is to hunt the prey.

Zhou Youning deliberately stood to the first and said coquettishly to Zhou Youlin: "Fourth brother, you must let me go." ”

Zhou Youlin stood beside her with a smile and held her shoulder: "No problem, you can use my bow and arrows, come, the fourth brother will help you draw the bow." ”

With his long arm stretched, he directly helped Zhou Youning shoot the red feather arrow, and it hit the bull's-eye.

Zhou Youning was overjoyed, and handed the bow and arrow in his hand to Meng Xilan with a smile.

Meng Xilan took it heavily in her hand, and when she saw Zhou Youlin standing still, she only said lightly: "I can try it alone first, and I won't bother the prince to help." ”

Zhou Youlin pursed his lips with a smile when he heard this, took a step back, and made a "please" gesture.
