Chapter 80: The Hunting Race

The hunt before the Mid-Autumn Festival, in the royal hunting grounds, only the princess and the sons and ladies of the nobles of Hokyo can participate.

The original intention of holding this competition is to allow these children with distinguished status to learn from each other and communicate more.

The competition is divided into several events, which are divided by gender, with men's competitions and men's and women's team competitions. After the game, there was also a bonfire. And the person who presided over this competition was the noble prince Ji Rong.

"It was Bi Yue who pushed me."

"I can't say that Bi Yue's grace is strong, Your Majesty won't believe it."

"Hehe, she really won't let me go."

In Hexuan's mind, these words echoed. It was Xu Jieyu, who had a slippery tire, her eyes widened and she told her on the hospital bed.

Who does the "she" in the last sentence refer to?

The father greeted Xu Jieyu with concern, but she really only said that she accidentally fell and asked for her guilt.

Of course, her father did not punish her. It's just that such a woman who has been sterilized without a prince without a background, will there be any hope in the harem?

Whoosh, three sounds, three arrows into the wild boar running through the forest. The arrow was very domineering when it was fired, and with a few wails, the boar fell to the ground.

"Princess, don't shoot yet!"

Zhao Lin's voice came to Hexuan, who was sitting on horseback with him, she came back to her senses, and in a panic, she raised the repeater in her hand and shot at the grass under the horse, which was regarded as a response.

"Princess's skill... Zhao Lin smacked his tongue and teased, stretched out his right hand to hold He Xuan's hand holding the repeater, raised it to the clear blue sky, and released two arrows. Then, the two geese flying in the sky became two perfect parabolas and fell from the sky to the ground.

This hunting competition between men and women has just begun, and He Xuan secretly admired Zhao Lin's superb martial arts in his heart, but said lightly: "Gongzi Lin only needs to draw the bow and shoot arrows, and this princess can shoot her prey without the help of external forces." ”

Zhao Lin looked at the hard-mouthed woman in his arms, calmly hooked the corners of his mouth, and said: "This is natural, the princess must have practiced for many days, and her skills have long been skilled." ”

He Xuan gritted her teeth, it was true that she had practiced for many days, and she had ordered Ruolan to put several scarecrows in her backyard for practice. Later, she thought that the scarecrow was too big and easier to hit, so she put an apple on the scarecrow's head.

However, the birds and beasts that hunt will not stand still and wait for death, and the horses under their crotches are also galloping, so the chance of shooting is greatly reduced.

Zhao Lin is obviously a man who only likes to show off his wealth, but he doesn't like to show off his strength. Why has he become so competitive since he was engaged to her?

In this game, the prince Ji Rong and the crown princess Zhao Ruier, the husband and wife who are very close to each other, naturally formed a team, and the prince's kung fu was also clearly seen in the last spring hunt and Xuan, and they are not outstanding among the princes. Although the Zhao family is a family of military generals, Zhao Ruier is a delicate little woman, so this pair is not to be feared.

Tianwei got her wish and became a team with Mi Xian, and the three princes were somehow assigned to a team with Jiang Wanrong, and a team with Qi Hou and Yunjing, who had little intersection.

。。。

He Xuan carefully went through it in his mind, judging from the performance of the past days, the protons would not dare to stand out on such an occasion.

The only strong opponents are the second prince Ji Qi and Yao Yun.

Ji Qi's strength should not be underestimated, but he has always been afraid of the prince and forbears it. Yao Yun is thirteen this year, although she is a woman, she is heroic, from a family of military generals, with superb martial arts and strong competitiveness. Her father, Yao Sima, who served in the Great Zhou, was a distant relative of Yao Shuyi, the mother of the Fifth Prince Ji Gong.

He Xuan doesn't want to drag Zhao Lin back, but can she surpass Yao Yun, who has received strict training since childhood? She held the repeater tightly and decided not to think about it anymore and give it a go!

So, she raised the repeater with her right hand, closed one eye, and aimed the other eye horizontally at the end of the arrow, and shot three arrows at a running boar on the ground, and the boar wailed a few times and fell in a pool of blood.

"Haha, the princess is really making rapid progress. However, the princess has pierced her heart with just one arrow, and although this arrow is small, it is powerful, and there is no need to waste the next two arrows. ”

Zhao Lin's faint smile hung on her face, although she was praising and exclaiming, she only felt harsh when she listened. So, I worked harder to find the little beasts in the woods.

The snow-white horses galloped through the forest, and his body swayed irregularly with the horse's back, so engrossed in the hunt that he had no time to think about anything else.

In a short period of time, not counting Zhao Lin's help, she had already shot more than a dozen beasts in the forest.

The figure scurried among the trees, and the cheeks of Princess Tianwei, who was in Qi Xian's arms, were slightly red, and she glanced at the man behind her.

He Xuan couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, this person had expressed his disdain for Tianwei and Wen Ying when he talked to her in private. In private, he is so gentle with every princess, no wonder Tianwei and Wen Ying in this life have been poisoned by him.

She rolled her eyes and continued to concentrate on the hunt. She couldn't let the narcissistic man behind her hurt her in the future, just imagining that was enough.

After less than a stick of incense, and when He Xuan was immersed in the pleasure of shooting his prey, he faintly heard someone shouting.

"Something's wrong! XXX is hurt!! ”

"Something's wrong! XXX is hurt!! ”

And Xuan a spirit, who was injured? It can't be the little brother Ji Tai, right? Ji Tai has liked to read books in the league mansion since he was a child, and he is young and not very proficient in riding and martial arts. I hadn't seen him in the woods just now, and if anything could have happened to any of them... No!

Zhao Lin withdrew the bow and arrow in his hand, immediately reversed the direction of the horse, and searched around. He sat on the horse's back nervously, and his hand tightened the reins, strangling a pair of white and tender hands red.

As far as the eye could see, they finally found the place where the crowd had gathered.

"Let's go over and see." He Xuan said softly.

Zhao Lin kicked the horse's belly with both feet, clenched the hand holding the reins with both hands, and galloped over.

When the horse stopped in the outer circle of the crowd, Zhao Lin jumped over and flew off the horse with a very handsome attitude. Then he stretched out his hand and pulled the nervous look of the horse down.

It won't be Ji Tai, it won't be him, he's only eight years old.

He Xuan rushed into the crowd regardless of it, and when he walked in front of him, he immediately let go of his hanging heart.

It was Princess Wen Ying, who was hit by an arrow in her right chest and fell to the ground unconscious, looking at the fact that her injuries were not serious.

At this time, the accompanying imperial physician rushed over, and after some inspection, his complexion changed greatly.

He walked to the side of the crown prince Ji Rong and said slowly: "Prince, the arrow did not shoot deeply, and it did not hurt the princess's five organs. It's just that... ”

"Just what? Speak up! Don't spit out. The crown prince Ji Rong looked impatient and reprimanded loudly.

"The arrow is poisoned and needs to be healed quickly." The Imperial Doctor's throat moved, and he finally spoke.

The prince's complexion changed, and the arrows they used in this hunt were not allowed to be poisoned.

"It's you, it's you who hurt the princess!"
