Chapter 58: Spring Hunting
Qi Long couldn't cry or laugh, and Lu Huan'er laughed: "Lord Wang, do you admit defeat?" It's better to compete in martial arts! My whip has been useless for a long time! ”
Seeing that she was in high spirits, Qi Long went to the weapon room to copy a long sword, brandished it and ran to Lu Huan'er's feet.
Lu Huan'er was not in a hurry, the tip of the sword was lightly picked away with the first whip, Qi Long attacked his right arm again, Lu Huan'er turned sideways and sneaked up on Qi Long's left leg, and the two of them played no less than ten tricks back and forth.
Gradually, Lu Huan'er was physically exhausted, Qi Long saw that she was struggling, and shook her sword, and when Lu Huan'er came back to her senses, she had already brought her cowhide whip to his hands.
"Huan'er, the progress is fast, I lost!" Qi Long said
"Coax me again, my whip is off, where will I win?"
"Don't you mind?"
"Don't mind"
"Okay, Huan'er didn't win!" Qi Long announced.
provoked Xiao Bei and Xiao Nan to shake their heads, the prince was helpless, and he actually won Miss Lu!
Lu Huan'er laughed: "The prince didn't lose!" ”
Staying in the practice field, the two of them went to the study again!
After chatting quietly for a long time, Qi Long set up the tea set, sat on the soft couch face to face with Lu Huan'er, and washed the tea cup with his hands.
Lu Huan'er was tired all morning, and asked Qi Long while knocking on her legs: "Lord Wang, has King Xiaoliang returned to Beidi?" ”
Qi Long nodded: "Xiao Bei has been following him, oh, by the way, do you know where Xue Xuening went?" ”
Lu Huan'er stopped and waited for Qi Long.
"I went to Wanhualou, now it's the top brand, call Luo Bing, it's also a coincidence, when Jiang Mingjie left, several adults in the Ministry of Rites asked him to go to Wanhualou to drink, Xiao Bei once secretly checked Xue Xuening's details and followed her, so he recognized her at a glance!"
Regarding Xue Xuening's choice, Lu Huan'er couldn't comment, since the last time she came back from Bao'en Temple, the illusion in the illusion made Lu Huan'er let go of revenge more and more.
Especially the picture of Qi Long falling on the battlefield and the words confessed by Senior Brother Yuanzhen, besides, Qi Long has also analyzed Qi Ning's psychology, and it is indeed difficult to overturn the case for the General's Mansion.
The deceased has passed away, Lu Huan'er remembered it, her father shook his head and said to her no, just to let her let go of hatred, could it be that her rebirth has another mystery?
Qi Long handed her a cup of flower tea, the fragrance of jasmine came to her nose, at this moment the years are quiet, Lu Huan'er wants to forget everything, and enjoys the warmth like this.
Qi Long looked at Lu Huan'er's calm face and remembered: "The spring hunt is scheduled for fifteen days later, and the prince is in charge, and the prince in the court today is eager to grab this errand, I'm afraid it's boring, when the time comes, you have to pay more attention!" ”
Lu Huan'er is curious, but she has never participated in the spring hunt:
"Lord, how many days do you want to stay?"
"It's almost ten days before and after, every time I'm in the royal hunting ground, Qi Ran has not succeeded in harming you several times, and I still have to do something this time!"
Lu Huan'er understood: "I'll be more careful, Lord Wang, is Beidi okay over there?" ”
Since she saw the illusion, Beidi has become a piece of Lu Huan'er's heart, and she doesn't know what she is going to do.
Qi Long shook his head: "It's not good, they have been harassed repeatedly, and they don't attack much, only when Jiang Mingjie returns to Beidi can we know their plans!" ”
Lu Huan'er said anxiously: "Lord Wang, the Yulin Army must step up its training, and it will be able to defeat the enemy army on the battlefield in the future!" ”
"I won't fight for a while, Beidi Yihe won't be long, and I also have time to breathe, don't worry about it!" Qi Long sandwiched a piece of dim sum and put it on Lu Huan'er's plate!
The two of them chatted for a while, and before they knew it, the sun was setting.
Half a month flies by, on the third day of the first month of March, the fixed spring hunting season every year, the officials above the second grade of Daqi bring their families, and the principals above the fourth grade are all assembled, and dozens of people go to the hunting grounds outside the capital!
The prince rode a horse and walked at the front of the team, with twelve Gyeonggi guards and Imperial Forest Army guards on the left and right, and the fourth prince Qi Luo was the same as a small follower, not leaving the prince's brother.
Qi Ning walked in the middle of the team in a carriage, and the queen Zhao Ke drove the royal car, eight horses opened the road, fast and steady, and twenty-four royal forest soldiers left and right opened the way.
Since the fifteenth day of the ban on the Immortal Palace, Zhao Ke has not gone out for more than two months, but the emperor is by his side, and he does not dare to make a mistake, there is no sound in the carriage, and Qi Ning closes his eyes to recuperate.
Between the prince and the emperor are the six adults who have no family members, or riding horses or driving carriages, although they are lively but also orderly.
Behind Qi Ning are the concubines of the harem.
Empress Dowager Xiao and Empress Dowager Zhao are also in the middle of the team, each with palace maids and eunuchs to serve, and it is difficult to get out of the palace.
Needless to say, Concubine Xiao has a number of days out of the palace every year, and this time I heard that Lu Huan'er also participated, so she was not excited, and she couldn't help but lift the curtain and look out happily.
Concubine Zhao sat alone in the phoenix, holding Buddhist beads, closing her eyes and reciting scriptures, as if she was out of the way.
The crown princess Meng Kun rode alone, prepared tea and snacks for Qi Shen, and from time to time instructed the little servant to ride a horse to give to the prince.
Qi Xi also came, sitting with several other royal sisters, since Zhou Jing didn't come last time, Qi Xi lost his soul, his eyes were dim, and his eyes were blank.
Qi Pan and Xian Guifei sat together, Xian Guifei took a book to help Qi Pan review his homework, but the two of them were quiet and casual all the way.
Qi Ran's carriage followed behind Concubine Xian, who was lying in the carriage at the moment, as Qi Long expected, she was thinking about how to make a trip to Lu Huan'er, in addition, the spring hunting Zhou Jing would also come, which made Qi Ran's heart excited, and she also planned to entangle him in the next few days!
Followed by Qi were family members of the second rank and above, the carriage was colorful and lively, and the maid followed a group of people.
Lu Huan'er was in this team, Li was not feeling well, and he didn't come, Meng Cheng drove the carriage, except for Chunxiang who stayed in the Materia Medica, summer, autumn, and winter all followed.
Lu Huan'er took Chasing the Wind, because Chasing the Wind refused to let anyone ride, Lu Huan'er had to pull the reins and let it follow behind the carriage, and what else did she care about at night, she kept chasing Lu Huan'er's carriage and followed Chasing the Wind, so that Qi Long had to accompany Lu Huan'er all the way outside the carriage.
At the end of the procession was the second-rank officer, riding horses and twenty Gyeonggi guards walking at the end of the line, Lu Beilin, east, west, north and south in this team.
Zhou Jing, as the crown prince of Hunan, should have been behind the emperor, but Zhou Jing wanted to ride a horse, so he only let the carriage run empty with things in front, and he chatted with the east, west, north and south.
It is conceivable that the procession is like a long snake stretching and circling on the official road.
It was not until noon that they arrived at the royal hunting ground, everyone was busy getting off the carriage to relax their muscles, Qi Long went to the front to maintain order and arrange accommodation, and Lu Huan'er waited for the distribution of camp tents.
Before Qi Long left, he handed her a packet of sulfur powder: "Sprinkle it outside the camp tent for a while, lest there be snakes in the hunting ground!" ”
There were too many people, and there was a lot of commotion, until the steward, the eunuch and the royal forest army came over with the list and the pre-marked and arranged charts, and the family members behind them were quiet.
Lu Huan'er looked at the hunting ground, the palace was in the easternmost place, of course, the emperor and the queen mother, concubines and others stayed.
The hunting ground is actually another peak on the back of the southwest mountain where the Hoonji Temple is located, and there is a stream between the two peaks, which also allows the hunting ground to occupy the most advantageous position.
The stream flows to a flat place and merges into a large lake, where palace maids, eunuchs, and guards cast nets on the shores of the lake.
