Early the next morning, the autumn hunt began as scheduled. Song Jinyan, as the emperor, symbolically shot the first arrow, and then the prey came out of the cage one after another, and each family brought their own guards and retinues, wanting to win a big victory in the hunting ground and gain the favor of the emperor.

The third prince, Song Yuanxu, was also in the crowd, and unlike others, the third prince seemed to be very careless. Other families were busy chasing prey, but Song Yuanxu ordered people to open the net on three sides, and he didn't seem to care about how much prey he caught.

"Niangniang, look, why is the third prince like this, the daily prey is to be weighed, and the prey will be the least, the third prince really doesn't care about losing face?" Ripple looked at Song Yuanxu above the hunting ground and said strangely.

Kou Shu smiled faintly, noncommittal. Everyone is self-interested, especially in the royal family, everyone is wearing a mask, and the matter of concubines, although there is nothing to see on the surface, I am afraid that the inside and this third prince will also be involved. On the surface, this third prince seems to be neither fighting nor grabbing, and he doesn't care about fame, I'm afraid it's just a trick.

"Senior sister, the weather is cool and pleasant today, why don't we go down and have fun?" Lan Ruoxuan pointed to the hunting ground and said to Kou Shu with great interest.

Kou Yunwu is a military general, and his family has raised a lot of good horses and famous horses, Kou Shu and Lan Ruoxuan grew up in the Kou family, and their equestrian skills are not bad.

When Kou Shu heard this, she just wanted to say something, but she heard Lan Ruoxuan continue: "It's just that Senior Sister Gu poison had an attack yesterday, and her body must be very weak at this time, why don't we play horse racing, how about playing equestrian?" In this way, the senior sister can also be more relaxed. ”

Kou Shu nodded, but couldn't help sneering in her heart, Lan Ruoxuan was very obedient, knowing that she was suffering from a poisonous attack, she actually took the first step to say the words first, so she couldn't avoid it if she wanted to.

Song Jinyan has seen a lot of men fighting and hunting in the hunting ground, but he has never seen the harem concubines put on riding clothes, and he suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "The queen and Concubine Lan will compare and match each other, and I will be the referee." ”

Hearing this, Kou Shu bent her knees slightly, then turned around and went to change her clothes.

After a while, both of them changed into brand new riding clothes. The difference is that Lan Ruoxuan is dressed in fiery red, using the color of the main palace, but Kou Shu is wearing a water-blue riding suit, which looks elegant and quiet, and has a unique charm.

When Lan Ruoxuan saw Kou Shu, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes very quickly, and she said, "Senior sister, let's limit the willow not far away, the distance from here to the willow tree, whoever shoots the fruit on the top of the flagpole first, will win first." ”

Everyone followed Lan Ruoxuan's hand, and there was an apple on the flagpole not far away. The flagpole is not too far, and the fruit is not too small, which is appropriate for a women's contest.

Kou Shu nodded, indicating acceptance of the rules.

"Okay, senior sister, since that's the case, let's get started." Lan Ruoxuan smiled, and there seemed to be a flame burning in her eyes.

Kou Shu frowned, Lan Ruoxuan's riding skills were not as good as herself, especially the archery skills on horseback, for so many years, she had never beaten herself, thinking of this, Kou Shu lowered her head and whispered a few words to Yuan Yun. Yuan Yun listened, and then turned his head and got into the crowd.

Song Jinyan's voice suddenly came, obviously in a good mood: "Okay, let me do a notarization." ”

At the sound of an order, the two fast horses galloped forward like lightning. Immediately, there were two figures, one red and one blue, extremely fast, like two beams of light passing through the air.

At this moment, a pair of eyes were like eagles, staring closely at the two people on the hunting ground. On the hunting ground, the red and blue figures were intertwined, sometimes Lan Ruoxuan in a red riding uniform was in front, sometimes Kou Shu in a blue riding suit was in front again, and sometimes two horses were advancing in unison. The man was patient and waited tightly.

After a while, Kou Shu seemed to be about to make a move, the hand that was tightly clamping the horse's belly relaxed slightly, one hand put the arrow on his shoulder, and the other hand reached into the quiver on his back, ready to draw an arrow.

A cold light was aimed at Kou Shu from another direction.

Kou Shu drew an arrow, put it on his bow, and was about to aim at the fruit, but when he saw that he was about to release the arrow, he suddenly kicked the horse's belly, and the horse was in pain, and galloped forward.

"Ahh Everyone saw a cold light shoot through the sky, and it was actually able to pass over Kou Shu's shoulder, and an arrow shot straight into the ground.

Song Jinyan was already frowning, stood up and took two steps forward.

The hunting ground is different from the palace, each family is hunting with arrows, and there will always be a few cases of stray arrows hurting people every year. The swiftness of the arrow just now, if it weren't for Kou Shu's timely dodge, I'm afraid the whole person would have been knocked off the horse.

At this moment, Lan Ruoxuan took out the arrow from the quiver as if she didn't notice anything, aimed straight at the fruit on the flagpole not far away, and drew the bow.

"Whew-" With a bang, the arrow was off the string and flew towards the flagpole at a rapid pace. But in mid-air, there was a snap and he hit another arrow head-on. Lan Ruoxuan was annoyed, and turned her head to see that it was Kou Shu holding a bow and arrow, looking at her with a smile.

Because of a flying arrow just now, Kou Shu has been pulled away by Lan Ruoxuan a lot, and it is almost impossible to pull the bow to win, Kou Shu found another way, and directly used the arrow to knock out the arrow shot by Lan Ruoxuan. As a result, no one wins.

Kou Shu's arrow shot extremely fast, in the eyes of ordinary people, Kou Shu was just frightened and stayed in place, while Lan Ruoxuan was not skilled and did not shoot the fruit. It seemed that no one had hit the fruit, but Kou Shu was frightened after all, even if Lan Ruoxuan won, it would be a victory, not to mention that Kou Shu's light arrow actually knocked Lan Ruoxuan's arrow to the ground.

Everyone gasped, and then turned their heads to look at the pole, and now the fruit is still on the flagpole, and an embarrassed smile appeared on their faces.

Seeing this, Su Peiyuan turned his mind around, and hurriedly ran out of the round field and said: "Where did the stray arrows that don't have long eyes dare to hurt the queen's mother." After speaking, he commanded a few guards on the side: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you go and see if the stray arrows have hurt the queen mother and the princess Lan mother?" ”

A few guards just woke up from a big dream at this moment, and ran in the direction of Kou Shu and Lan Ruoxuan.

Everyone also reacted, and they all sighed that the arrows on the hunting ground were ruthless, but fortunately, the queen Niang Niangfu escaped the catastrophe and kept silent about the game just now.

Song Jinyan didn't care what the result of the game was, and he didn't want to listen to the gossip of others, his eyes rolled, and his dark pupils stared directly at the arrow that was deeply inserted in the ground, and there was a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.
