Chapter 71: Competition
After Xiao Yanlin finished speaking, he turned over and dismounted.
Gu Baiyu looked at the ground under his feet and felt a little dizzy.
It's good that I didn't pay attention to it at first, but now I look at it, why is this horseback so high!
However, before she could be afraid, Xiao Yanlin had already reached out and hugged her.
The secret guards behind him are also scattered around, secretly protecting.
Gu Baiyu then remembered that Lingyu was still in the carriage, "Oops, Lingyu didn't follow!" ”
Xiao Yanlin smiled: "It's okay, I've already ordered someone to send her out, just the two of us today, no one will disturb you." ”
When Xiao Yanlin said this, his tone was very relaxed, it seemed that he had enough of it on weekdays, and he was troubled by a superfluous person like Lingyu all the time.
The two of them walked forward, and in front of them was where the royal hunting ground keepers lived.
Seeing that someone was coming, the junior official on duty immediately came over, "Master Hou is so excited today, he wants to go into the forest to hunt, oops, he also brought a newlywed lady!" ”
Xiao Yanlin nodded at him.
"Take Madame today. Take the trouble to drive away the large beast so as not to frighten her. ”
The petty officer on duty smiled: "I know, I know, I'll do it, but Hou Ye is so brave, with Hou Ye here, the beast is not terrible at all!" ”
After the little official finished speaking, his eyes turned and he said, "Today is indeed a good day, not only the Hou Ye came, but the second prince also came not long ago. Towards the east, if the Hou Ye encounters it, he can say hello to the second prince. ”
What he said was to say hello to the second prince, but now everyone knows that Xiao Yanlin and the second prince are not in harmony, he is selling face to Xiao Yanlin, reminding him that there are people in the forest that he doesn't like, if you don't want to be disturbed, don't go east,
Xiao Yanlin nodded at him, and said with his friendship.
"I heard that Lord Zhou likes to drink, I got a few jars of good wine a few days ago, and I will send someone to deliver it after a while."
The man smiled: "Thank you so much, Lord Wang." ”
After saying that, he sent someone to drive away the beast, and then opened the door to let the two in.
Entering the forest, Gu Baiyu felt strange everywhere, she hadn't hunted yet.
Prime Minister Gu Cheng also won the favor of His Majesty in the past, and followed him to spring hunting, but she was still young at that time.
Mrs. Gu adhered to the principle that it is best for women to be raised at home, and did not let her go with her, but now that she has this opportunity, she is a little eager to try.
After a while, the petty officer on duty sent a longbow.
Gu Baiyu looked at the bow and immediately felt surprised, it was really a heavy bow, just looking at it felt huge.
Xiao Yanlin took the bow and arrow in his hand, weighed it, and returned the thing to the man.
"Madame is here, come here for a lighter one."
The man was a little surprised, "But this is the ...... you are used to, Master Hou."
"Go get a lighter one."
The petty officer didn't ask much and took the order.
Gu Baiyu felt a little embarrassed, "Master Hou can use whatever he is used to on weekdays, I'm just here to have a good time, if you want me to draw a bow and shoot these prey, I won't be able to......"
At the stall where he spoke, someone had already sent a light and nimble bow over, Xiao Yanlin took it in his hand, and hugged Gu Baiyu on horseback, "It's okay, I'll teach you today." ”
The two rode their horses and galloped away into the woods.
There are many animals mixed in the royal hunting grounds, including predators and some herbivores that do not harm people.
Gu Baiyu even saw a few fat and strong sika deer, they should have been fed on weekdays, and the people who saw them were not afraid, and they stared at Gu Baiyu with round eyes.
At this moment, Xiao Yanlin stopped his horse, set up a bow and arrow, and aimed the camera at Meihua Road.
Gu Baiyu felt a little unbearable, and pulled his sleeve, "You see that this little deer is very cute, and he stopped to look at me, and we still kill him, isn't it good?" ”
Xiao Yanlin felt funny after listening to it, and he laughed if he wanted to laugh.
A dull laugh came from behind him, and the vibration of his chest was transmitted to Gu Baiyu's back through the thin clothes, Gu Baiyu looked back: "What are you laughing at?" ”
"There's nothing I think you're cute."
In the end, the sika deer was spared.
Just this time, Xiao Yanlin also understood that his little wife liked cute things.
Whether it's used on weekdays, or the animals in this forest, they look better, and they always receive some preferential treatment here in Mrs.
So, I skipped the brightly colored birds, and also let go of cute things such as sika deer.
In the end, you can only hunt animals that don't look so cute.
It didn't take long for the two to have a harvest.
The secret guards dragged the prey down, and Gu Baiyu was eager to try, so Xiao Yanlin put the bow in her hand and wrapped it around her from behind.
Gu Baiyu could concentrate on looking at a hare not far away at first, but as Xiao Yanlin approached, her breath was in her ears, her mood was disturbed all of a sudden, and the arrow was also inaccurate.
Gu Baiyu felt that his face was hot, "Let's come on, Master Hou, I'm not good at these." ”
Xiao Yanlin withdrew his bow: "Madame, do you think the hare is cute?" That's why you let it go? ”
Where is Gu Baiyu willing to admit that he was robbed of his mind by Xiao Yanlin's sudden approach?
Shaking his head and saying, "No, it's because I'm not as good as others." ”
Xiao Yanlin said: "The hares in this forest are the fattest, I will hunt a few more to make a scarf for you in winter." ”
Then Xiao Yanlin was like a marksman, his sword was not missing, and he hunted more than a dozen hares in a short time.
The most powerful thing is that the hares he chose are very similar in color, and the scarf he wants to make is also good-looking.
Looking at the pile of hares, Gu Baiyu felt happy in his heart, and pointed forward, "Let's go ahead and have a look!" ”
However, Gu Baiyu pointed at it casually, but there was only a big trouble.
Her good mood came to an abrupt end when she met the second prince and his party.
"Yo, the Hou Ye is so interested, how many days will the marriage not be warm in the red candle tent in the house, and he will bring his wife to this royal hunting ground?"
It is said that the enemy is very red when he meets, and what the second prince said is also yin and yang.
When Gu Baiyu saw him, he felt that his good mood had been ruined, why wasn't he?
The incident in the Hou Mansion that day made him a joke in the court, and the more he thought about it when he went back, the more angry he became, and even went to Wan Concubine and asked her why she didn't tell herself in advance that the emperor would go, and Wan Concubine was also aggrieved.
"The mother concubine doesn't know that everything is going on with you, but recently, I don't know what the queen thinks, she has always been at odds with Zhou Guifei, but during this time, the two of them are thinking about dealing with me together. The mother concubine is just a concubine, where does she have the ability to reach the sky with her hands and eyes, and know where your father is going? ”
The second prince had nowhere to vent, and he held back in the mansion for two days, and then he thought about coming to the royal hunting ground to relax, but he didn't expect to meet Xiao Yanlin and Gu Baiyu.
Seeing the prey behind the two of them, the second prince sneered, "Master Hou got off the battlefield and became a soft egg?" In this royal hunting ground, there are not some fierce beasts such as lions and tigers, and they are bullied by rabbits, is it to bully the soft and fear the hard? ”
Xiao Yanlin also felt very unlucky when he saw the second prince, he had a calm personality, and he would not compete with others in words, nodding slightly at the second prince, and then turned his horse and wanted to leave.
However, the more this happened, the more it made the second prince feel like a fist hit into cotton, and he didn't feel good in his heart, and immediately shouted behind him, "Slow! It's rare to meet, Hou Ye just left, and it is not a comparison when he comes to the royal hunting ground! ”
Xiao Yanlin ignored him, but the second prince became more and more energetic the more he talked
"I think what others said is right, the military merits on the Hou Ye are just the group of tiger generals under his hands who got it for you, why, you don't even dare to compete with me for hunting?"
Gu Baiyu was angry when he heard it on the side.
She knew that Xiao Yanlin avoided the edge of the second prince, but she didn't want to spoil her interest, but how could she tolerate others talking about his husband like this?
She pulled Xiao Yanlin's sleeve, "Master Hou, don't let people look down on him, compete with him, Master Hou won't lose, right?" ”
Xiao Yanlin nodded: "Naturally, you won't lose, but I'm afraid that your nature will be ruined, and I'm afraid that the beast will scare you." ”
Gu Baiyu leaned back, his back against the man's solid chest, "I'm not afraid, with the protection of the Hou Ye, what if the beast appears?" ”
Xiao Yanlin smiled heartily: "Okay, since Madame has spoken, let's compare with him!" ”
