Chapter Seventy-Three: The Hunt in the East Mountain

The heavy snow has melted, two days after the annual New Year's hunting, although the Southern Chu is in the Kyushu Yumi Nanxiang land, but the Southern Chu royal family has always attached great importance to the matter of hunting in the forest to strengthen the body, and the custom of hunting has not been abolished.

Dongshan is the hunting place of the Southern Chu royal family, located in the east of the capital, close to the palace, every year at this time, the minions of the Dongshan garrison have arranged the various matters of the masters to hunt early.

The big tent was in the middle of the flat ground, and the king exempted the Ming Taifei, who had always believed in Buddhism, to watch the hunt, and the rest of the royal family with status came.

In winter, the mountains and forests are desolate, but the wild beasts that come out to feed at this time are often more obvious on the bare mountains than in other seasons, the canopy of the big tent is round, surrounded by a layer of people, the outermost layer is the garrison of the Yulin army, inward are the palace people, officials and their families, and the higher-ranking officials will accompany the royal nobles around the king.

The king strode from the crowd to the front of the big tent, the horse-taming minions brought the bows and arrows and the well-fed horses, Zhong Lixun was dressed in a black hunting suit, handsome and strong, the concubines, ladies and palace maids looked blushing with shame, only to see the heroic man jump to the front of the black horse, shouting: "Zhongqing, go with the lonely, today's dabbling in the big winner is lonely and rewarded!"

A black shadow jumped into the mountains and forests like lightning, and the right minister, General Sima and General Wei Chi followed at the same time, and some civil officials who had practiced martial arts such as Lord Gongliang and Lord Yu also rode horses to follow the hunt, and the soldiers beat drums by the wooden stakes on both sides of the tent, and the momentum was surging.

"Wechen, the last general, etc., are willing to follow the king!"

The ladies did not do nothing, the targets and arrows prepared earlier were placed in front of the large tent for the concubines, the royal ladies and the families of the officials to enjoy, the men duel on the hunting grounds, and the women fought as well as they did.

"Sister Qin, your archery skills are no better, why don't you try it with other sisters?"

As soon as the king left, Concubine Li's beautiful eyes looked at Yu Yu and the others provocatively, and then asked Concubine Qin to compete with the queen to try archery skills.

Concubine Li has always been bold, and she is proud of her beauty, and she has never put the queen, Concubine Yin and others in her eyes, at this time, Concubine Ming is not there, and the king goes to hunt in the forest, it is the best time.

Qin Concubine smiled happily, looked around quietly, people who couldn't shoot arrows looked at her with some fear, not wanting to compete with her and losing their dignity, and finally Qin Concubine's eyes fell on the tortoiseshell jade intentionally, her eyes were provocative, but she still said respectfully: "I have heard that the queen has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and the girl next to her Ling Ling is also extraordinary, Qin Concubine is willing to ask the queen mother to compete in archery."

When Ling Ling heard this, she looked at Qin Concubine angrily, this Qin Concubine was really presumptuous! didn't even put the mother in his eyes, and openly provoked!

She stepped forward and was about to reprimand Concubine Qin, who had no one in her eyes, but unexpectedly, Yu pulled her back and shook her head.

Tortoiseshell Jade will not let them challenge her majesty as a dignified queen: "This palace is also trying to have a discussion with Concubine Qin and bring arrows to this palace." ”

"The queen is so powerful!"

Everyone saw that the queen was heroic but not decent, squinting slightly, three bullseyes, and many concubines who followed the queen applauded loudly.

They thought that Qin Concubine would retreat in the face of difficulties, but Qin Concubine hooked her lips and smiled proudly, only to see her recklessly pull her hand, knock out the queen's arrow and replace it with a bull's-eye.

Concubine Li's henchmen shouted instead, and the queen's party only said that Concubine Li, Concubine Qin and others were too much, and the king was just cold to the queen for a while, and they disrespected her identity and boldly provoked.

Tortoise Jade frowned deeply and was furious, this Qin Concubine was really hateful!

Mama Pingling glanced at Rong Caiyin gesturely, and Rong Caiyin also saw that Yu Yu couldn't hide her anger on her face, so she comforted: "Sister Queen, don't be like them, Sister Yin has a way."

Then a fierce light flashed under her eyes, and she whispered a few words in Tortoise's ear silently.

"The king is back! The king hunted a white fox! ”

At this time, everyone's eyes were attracted by the returning king and the ministers, and they saw a eunuch holding a white beast back from a distance.

The fox is rare, the black fox is fine, but it is a rare white fox among the foxes, and the white fox skin is the most valuable, and everyone has guessed who the king will reward this white fox to.

"The concubines are comparing arrows?"

The king saw dozens of feather arrows on the target, and was interested in a group of women competing with arrows, at this time the queen had hidden her anger, and smiled at the king just right: "Back to the king, the palace has just finished the competition with Qin Concubine's sister, but the archery skills are not good.

Wang Shang was curious and asked, "Oh? Who is it? ”

"Ah Rong girl."

The person present was shocked by the queen's words, and a sharp color flashed on Zhong Lixun Jun's face.

In fact, no one knows how a little palace maid archery is, but the drunkard doesn't mean to drink.

The king's eyes were heavy, and everyone was speculating that the queen had lost the previous game, and now what did it mean to recommend a newly favored palace maid?

Qin Concubine stepped forward and wanted to refuse, but Zhong Lixun said happily: "Interesting, I heard that Qin Concubine's archery skills are good, so I will try to compete with this little palace maid of mine to see if I can distinguish between the superior and the inferior." ”

The king wanted to see it, no matter what, Qin Concubine and Ah Rong couldn't refuse.

After the minions carried the prey hunted by the king and other royal officials to the tent, everyone came over to watch and didn't want to miss the wonderful game, Yu Zice stood in the official team and looked at Ah Rong not far away, he was very worried about her, Rong'er was really difficult to ride a tiger this time.

Luo'er stood among the concubines and saw Ah Rong who was walking forward, and couldn't help but feel inexplicable in her heart, the king spoiled her sister on the night of her Chinese New Year's Eve, she was not only unhappy, but her heart was also very painful......

Miao Lan handed the bow and arrow to Ah Rong and comforted her with her eyes, and Ah Rong took it willingly.

"One hit!" This time the difficulty has increased, and the distance between the targets has increased a lot. ”

"Three!" Qin Concubine still hit the bull's-eye three times, but it was a little harder than last time, everyone pinched a cold sweat for the palace maid, and some people were also mocking and waiting to see a good show, to see how she ended, Ah Rong knew that if Concubine Yin won was to lend her to Concubine Li, if she didn't win, Zhong Lixun would be unhappy, it was really two birds with one stone.

Everyone didn't know how Ah Rong moved, and then they saw that she suddenly held three arrows in her hand, tightened the arrow bow, the arrow flashed like a fire, and the three arrows fired together, and the ring shot off Qin Concubine's arrow.

When it was over, Ah Rong closed his eyes, his heart was mixed, and he didn't feel as easy as completing the task.

"That's amazing!" The onlookers didn't know that the palace maid couldn't help shouting, and immediately shut up when she realized that she was speechless.

General Weiyuan's lieutenant Chiqi couldn't help but praise boldly: "This archery technique is really good!"

At this time, Luo Er had mixed feelings in her heart, she remembered that her sister's archery skills were practiced to protect her when she was a child.
