Chapter XIII - The Hunt
On the eve of the hunt, after a tiring day of carriage and horses, Wei Yu just wanted to lie in bed and not move, and she actually did it.
Yuan Qi was lying inside, still holding a dossier in his hand, and holding Wei Yu in the other hand, so intimate,
"How about Lone hunting a fox for you tomorrow?"
Wei Yu supported Yuan Qi's chest with one hand, squinted, and stared at one place in a daze, "Naturally, it's good, and one more mother is just right for Wangwang to be your companion." ”
"You can have the little animals you want, and you can hunt them."
Wei Yu's eyes rolled around and he thought, "The concubine likes little rabbits, His Royal Highness ordered someone to catch some rabbits for the concubine." ”
Yuan Qi didn't think so, the girl's family liked such a small and delicate one, and joked unceremoniously,
"Jiao Niang, don't you want to learn from Fairy Chang'e and hold a jade rabbit every day."
Wei Yu Xiaofen hammered Yuanqi's chest with his fist, "The concubine body is not raised to be held and played." ”
"How's that?"
Wei Yu's beautiful eyes widened, with a reasonable expression, "Naturally, I fattened it and used it to eat." ”
Yuan Qi was amused, shouldn't this ordinary woman pretend to love small animals? His little lady only thinks about eating,
"If you want to eat, I'll catch it for you tomorrow and roast it."
Wei Yu's face was happy, the rabbit meat was delicious, but she had never eaten grilled, "Your Highness just leave it to the people below to hunt, or the concubine will hunt and eat it herself." ”
Why is that? Are you still afraid that you won't be able to catch a few rabbits? ”
Wei Yu naturally didn't dare to doubt Yuan Qi's strength, "The concubine body knows that His Highness's archery skills are unparalleled, but it is just a little rabbit caught by His Highness, and the concubine body will be reluctant to eat it." ”
Yuan Qi smiled, "You speak so well today, it's not that you have honey in your mouth." ”
Wei Yu's eyes narrowed with a smile, "Your Highness guesses, the concubine won't tell you." ”
Why guess this, don't you know if you kiss it?
This year's autumn hunt was extremely grand, and most of the ministers and families of the central government came, and this hunt had to last for two days.
As soon as the hour came, the chief eunuch beside the emperor announced a long list of rules in a sharp voice.
This forest farm is huge, and in the depths of the forest there will be slightly ferocious beasts, locked in one place. The forest is shallow, with only a few fawns and foxes. The man can hunt throughout the forest, and the final success is measured by the size and number of prey. It is also possible for women to hunt, but only on the periphery.
Yuan Qi left a few guards to guard Wei Yu, and repeatedly told him, "Jiao Niang, don't go in the deep forest, if there is anything urgent, let the guards tell Gu." ”
Wei Yu nodded, Yuan Qi treated her really well, but he didn't leave anyone to the crown princess.
"Your Highness, rest assured, the concubine will take care of herself, and Your Highness will not forget the promise with the concubine."
Yuan Qi hooked Wei Yu's nose, "Lonely won't forget, little gluttonous cat." ”
Yuan Qi's archery skills were personally taught by the emperor, the blue is better than the blue, Yuan Qi is getting leaner and leaner, but the emperor is not the slightest dissatisfied, Yuan Qi is the prince he identifies, and naturally the leaner the better.
It's just that when Yuan Qi was hunting, he wanted to catch the fox and the little rabbit first, and this little rabbit was easy to find, so he caught several of them in a while, which made Yuan Qin a little surprised.
"Brother Huang, this rabbit is small, what does it mean to hunt?"
Yuan Qi's eyes were full of smiles, "Lone's side concubine is a greedy one, so I want Lone to hunt a few for her to eat." ”
The corners of Yuan Qin's mouth twitched, this dog food was caught off guard.
Boom, Second Prince Yuan? Shot down a big wolf, and the fierce land Yuan Qin was full of fighting spirit and galloped forward on his horse.
"Brother Huang just cares about petty love, the younger brother is going to hunt wild beasts."
Yuan Qi doesn't mind wasting time looking for foxes, this time it's nominally hunting, but it's actually helping the court find talents, he doesn't have this need, it's better to help find a small animal that can make his daughter-in-law happy.
If Wei Yu knew Yuan Qi's thoughts, he would have fainted with joy.
Wei Wei's face injury was not healed yet, and she didn't even come with a group of young ladies from the Wei Mansion. Wei Yu was inevitably a little bored, but fortunately, Nangong Yun took the initiative to find Wei Yu to relieve her boredom.
"Concubine Niangniang, why don't you go hunting?"
Wei Yu looked bored, "There are a lot of people today, and it's not interesting to go in." ”
Nangong Yun nodded and smiled lightly, "The courtiers also think the same way, today's outer circle is full of those delicate young ladies, but some non-aggressive small animals, they just brought a row of people to follow, so scared that the deer didn't dare to come out and run around." ”
The crown princess has always been a troublemaker, looking at Wei Yu and Nangong Yun sitting and chatting, she interjected,
"My sister and Miss Nangong are both good at riding and shooting, why don't you go in and play."
Wei Yu and Nangong Yun saluted the crown princess and explained, "The concubine is not so interested today. ”
Zhao Shufang is not very interested in hunting, but he also wants to go around the forest.
"That sister and Miss Nangong are willing to accompany the palace to this outer circle, and they don't have to carry arrows."
The princess's forceful tone made Nangong Yun a little unhappy, but she still responded according to the courtesy of the monarch and ministers.
After entering the forest, the guards beside Wei Yu have been following closely, and their task is to take care of Concubine Wei from harm.
All three of them rode horses, and the horses swayed slowly, and they could not go fast, and sometimes they lowered their heads and bowed their heads to the grass on the side of the road.
"What does Miss Nangong like to do on weekdays?" Zhao Shufang also seems to have a desire to please Nangong Yun, but this method is too superficial.
Nangong Yun didn't have a good impression of the crown princess, and said succinctly, "Courtiers like to ride and shoot. "You don't like to do it anyway.
Zhao Shufang didn't care, she saw an injured little squirrel in front of her, and she had a plan,
"Sister, can you borrow your sister's guards and help my sister hunt that squirrel."
Wei Yu was naturally reluctant, they were all Yuan Qi's personal guards, "Sister must have forgotten, when she came out, she told the concubine and Miss Nangong not to bring arrows, and only came out to relax." ”
At this time, Nangong Yun's horse was startled and took two steps back, Nangong Yun stroked the fluttering wind's hair, and felt that something was wrong.
In addition to the sound of horses' hooves, there is a heavier step.
