The Favoured Medical Princess: 129 Spring Hunting
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
I am actually going to participate in the spring hunting at the end of March!
Until she heard that grandma left, Nangong Yue's heart was still filled with ups and downs.
Nanny Wen came here this time to convey the Queen’s instructions to Nangong Yue to participate in the royal spring hunt ten days later.
The royal spring hunt is held at the end of March every year. For many people who make a living in martial arts, the spring hunt is a major event of the year. The emperor himself came from a family of military generals, and he also fought with the late emperor when he was young. Therefore, he was fond of martial arts but not literary. The emperor often took advantage of the opportunity of Spring Hunting to test those military officers, guards, and descendants of noble families and nobles, so Spring Hunting It has always been somewhat political, and ministers and even princes will strive to perform in front of the emperor to leave a good impression.
She had also participated in the royal spring hunt in her previous life, but at that time, she was only eligible to participate in the spring hunt with Han Lingfu, who was still the third prince at the time, after getting married. But now, I am not yet eleven years old!
But thinking about it again, in this life, since I have been named the county lord and have the attention of the queen, I am indeed qualified to participate in the royal spring hunt.
Nangong Yue calmed down and walked towards Rongan Hall. He wanted to participate in the royal spring hunt. According to the rules, he naturally needed to inform his grandmother Su.
As soon as she entered Rongan Hall, she saw Mrs. Su happily waving to her: "Sister Yue, come here quickly."
"Greetings, grandma." After Nangong Yue bowed to Mrs. Su in a polite manner, she slowly walked to her side.
Mrs. Su's face turned into a flower with a smile. She took Nangong Yue's hand and said earnestly: "I just heard from Grandma Wang that the Queen specially sent Grandma Wen here to ask you to participate in the event ten days later. The Royal Spring Hunt. This is an honor that even your uncle does not have. You must act cautiously and don’t let down the Queen’s heart.”
"Yes, grandma." Nangong Yue was blessed and responded gently, "My granddaughter will remember my grandmother's teachings."
Ms. Su patted Nangong Yue's hand with a smile on her face, and said kindly: "Go back and prepare well. If you need anything, just send someone to talk to grandma."
Nangong Yue looked flattered and said, "Thank you, grandma."
Su's smile grew deeper and deeper, "Why are you so polite to grandma?" After saying that, she ordered loudly, "Yukou, take the piece of cloud brocade from my warehouse and bring it back to the third girl."
"Thank you, grandma!" Nangong Yue thanked Su. After a while, Jade Button took out a piece of cloud brocade. After Yimei stepped forward to accept it, Nangong Yue said, "Then granddaughter will leave first."
"Go ahead." Su waved her hand lovingly.
After leaving Rongan Hall, Nangong Yue returned to Qianyun Court, knowing that her parents probably also knew that she was going to participate in the Royal Spring Hunt.
Of course Mrs. Lin is happy that her daughter can participate in the royal spring hunt. This means that her daughter has been favored by the royal family, which will be of great benefit to her daughter's future marriage. But as a mother, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, Nangong Yue was the only one on this trip, and because Nangong Yue had never learned to ride a horse, she was afraid that something would happen if Nangong Yue tried his best to go riding in the hunting ground.
"Sister Yue, you don't know how to ride a horse. When you get there, don't walk around at will, don't show off your strength and go to dangerous places!" Lin taught earnestly.
"Mom, I understand, I will be careful." Nangong Yue held her mother's hands, trying to ease her nervous mood.
"Oops!" Mrs. Lin suddenly thought of something and exclaimed softly, "Sister Yue, you have never ridden a horse before, and you don't have suitable riding clothes yet! No... I have to order someone right away. One set is definitely not enough to make it for you, I have to prepare two or three sets no matter what!" Mrs. Lin calculated the time, "I seem to be running out of time, I have to hurry up." She hurriedly called An Niang over and gave instructions This, order that...
Nangong Yue felt warm in her heart when she saw Mrs. Lin busy. The person who cares most about you in this world is always your mother.
Nangong Mu looked at the mother and daughter with a smile. Nangong Xin couldn't help but asked curiously: "Sister, are you going hunting?"
Nangong Yue nodded, and seeing a hint of envy in Nangong Xin's eyes, she deliberately said: "Brother, I don't have a hunting dog. Can you lend me Dahei?"
Nangong Xin's attention was suddenly diverted, and she nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, sister, Dahei is very powerful, and I can definitely help you hunt rabbits... But rabbits are quite pitiful." He didn't say anything. Be careful and get confused.
Nangong Yue said hurriedly: "Brother, I will ask Dahei to catch a rabbit and bring it back to you, okay?"
"Really?"
The two brothers and sisters talked more and more enthusiastically, which made Nangong Yue gradually look forward to the spring hunting in the near future.
In her previous life, as the Crown Princess and later the Queen, although she accompanied Han Lingfu to spring hunting many times, she either stayed in the tent or in the carriage. In fact, she did not really enjoy the fun of spring hunting at all. . Deep in her heart, she has always yearned for the feeling of wearing bright clothes, angry horses, and high spirits...
Thinking of this, Nangong Yue secretly decided that if she had the chance this time, she must learn riding skills!
The news that Nangong Yue was going to Xishan to participate in the royal spring hunt in ten days soon spread to every corner of the house.
When Mrs. Zhao heard about this, she felt very unfair for her daughter. On the contrary, Nangongcheng was very peaceful and persuaded Mrs. Zhao not to worry about such trivial matters.
As for Huang and Nangong Lin, they were very aggrieved. They felt that all the good things had happened to the second wife, and wished that Nangong Yue had fallen off her horse.
Nangong Yue doesn’t know these things, and even if she does, she doesn’t care.
Ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the day of spring hunting has arrived.
Except for the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince, the other princes are still young and do not accompany them. Among the concubines, Zhang Guifei used to accompany her in the past, and the queen stayed behind according to the imperial edict, but now Zhang The imperial concubine had just been demoted to the second-grade concubine, so she naturally lost this honor. Several concubines were overjoyed and quarreled endlessly over the matter of traveling with them. The emperor was so angry that he simply took the queen with him. In addition, there were nearly two hundred people including clan members, military generals, important ministers, nobles, etc., each of them brought a With many accompanying people, the whole team looked mighty.
Nangong Yue took Dahei borrowed from her brother, Yimei and Baihui, and rode for the first time on the red-wheeled carriage specially built by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for her as the county head. Three days ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs The county lord's warm sedan chair and red-wheeled carriage customized for her were delivered to Nangong Mansion. They had red lids, green wattles, and green edges at four corners. They looked graceful and luxurious, and everyone in the mansion praised them. For this red-wheeled carriage, Lin even assigned a driver to Nangong Yue. This incident caused a commotion in the mansion. None of the girls in the mansion had a dedicated carriage and driver, but that was a bit of a commotion. Su Clan suppressed him easily. After all, Nangong Yue is now the dignified head of the county, so it is reasonable to have these equipment.
The day just dawned, and the bright red flag waved out of the city. The queen and the princes walked beside the emperor's dragon chariot so that they could take orders at any time. However, Nangong Yue, the county head, could only be regarded as a small player in this huge team. Xiami, she was walking in the queue at the back together with the people from Duke Enguo's Mansion.
This journey was tiring and took nearly two days. It was not until the sun set the next day that the team arrived safely at the Xishan paddock.
The guards as the vanguard had arrived long ago, and they set up a large tent at the foot of the mountain in a well-trained manner. Located in the center is the imperial tent decorated with twelve golden dragons on the top. It is five or six feet high. Although it is a temporary structure, it is extremely luxurious and exquisite from the outside to the inside. The queen's tent is close to the emperor's tent, and the regulations are smaller, but they are comprehensive.
The accompanying guards surrounded the two tents like iron walls, and they were so guarded that not even a fly was spared.
The tents of other clans, nobles, important ministers and aristocratic families are scattered around with the imperial tent as the center, like stars holding the moon.
As soon as she got off the carriage, Nangong Yue was led to the queen's tent by the maid next to her.
"I have seen the Queen. She is a thousand years old!" Nangong Yue bowed and saluted. After these two days, there was a faint shadow under her eyes, which could not conceal her tiredness.
"Yue Yatou, why are we so polite between you and me?" The Queen raised her hand to signal her to get up, with a very friendly tone, "It has been a long and tiring day and night for you, and you have also worked hard. I will go to your tent and take a good rest later." Rest. Spring hunting will officially begin early tomorrow, so you need to get up early!"
Ever since the last time Nangong Yue detoxified the fifth prince in the palace, the queen had remembered this sentiment and treated her very kindly.
Nangong Yue stood up with a smile and said coquettishly: "Thank you for your advice, I will be welcome." The queen is a straightforward person. If she keeps pushing away, she will make the queen look down upon her.
As expected, the queen was very satisfied with Nangong Yue's natural and generous attitude. She looked at Nangong Yue carefully and praised: "Girl Yue, you usually wear plain clothes, but today you are wearing this colorful riding costume. , she is a bit more heroic! This young girl should wear more brightly colored clothes!"
Nangong Yue wore a set of fiery red riding clothes today. The style is the most popular in the capital today. It is simple and elegant, and it is well-fitted and very easy to move. It also looks like she has grown a lot. . At this moment, she smiled brightly, and her fair skin looked radiant and heroic against the backdrop of the fiery red riding clothes.
"My dear, thank you, the Empress, for the compliment!" Nangong Yue was not shy, and deliberately imitated the men's bow.
The queen became more and more satisfied with Nangong Yue and said with a smile: "There is an empty tent behind me. Girl Yue, how about you live in that tent?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Nangong Yue was disrespectful. She naturally knew what a great honor it was to live near the Queen. It was her first time to participate in the spring hunting. The Queen was afraid that she would be at a loss, so she kindly arranged for her to be nearby. This was also a sign of love and care!
Nangong Yue felt a touch of warmth in her heart, but she didn't show it, she just kept it firmly in her heart.
Coming out of the queen's tent, Nangong Yue lived in a tent behind the queen under the guidance of the palace maid. This tent is naturally much smaller than the queen's, and not as gorgeous, but it is fully equipped with all the necessary equipment, which can be considered very thoughtful.
Because it was still early, Nangong Yue decided to take Dahei and Yimei around for a walk, leaving Baihui to stay and pack the luggage she had brought.
It was a coincidence that they came. It had just rained near the paddock last night. At this time, the ground was green and green, and the mountains and forests not far away were even more lush. The green sky and fields made people feel that the air was fresh and the scenery was pleasant. .
Nangong Yue was enjoying the scenery when she suddenly heard a whistle.
Looking around, Nangong Yue saw Xiao Yi at a glance! Coincidentally, Xiao Yi was also wearing a red riding suit. The bright red color like the sun made him look more handsome and handsome, as handsome as an immortal.
This guy has a very deceptive face! Nangong Yue complained in her heart.
Not only Xiao Yi came, there was also a horse with snow-white hoofs and a coat as dark as night. Xiao Yi was riding on the horse at the moment, smiling at her mischievously.
Because in the paddock, the defense between men and women was much looser, and Nangong Yue did not avoid it.
Xiao Yi turned over, got off the horse neatly, and strode towards Nangong Yue... Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out in front of Nangong Yue, but it was a **** one, with its tail raised high and full of hostility. , stared at Xiao Yi with cold eyes, and let out a low growl full of warning in his throat: "Bah..."
Looking at it, it seemed that if Xiao Yi took another step closer, it would pounce and bite him.
It is indeed an outstanding hunting dog. Nangong Yue secretly praised it in her heart, then flicked her fingers at Dahei and said: "Dahei, step back, it's okay."
Dahei seemed to understand what Nangong Yue meant, and became lazy again. He glanced at Xiao Yi contemptuously, and then walked around behind Nangong Yue obediently.
Dahei is so spiritual, Nangong Yue is very satisfied, maybe her brother has really found a good dog for herself! Sometimes, this dog is much more loyal and trustworthy than people! She decided to give Dahei a big meal when she returned home.
Xiao Yi glared at Dahei angrily, but said with a smile: "Smelly girl, why did you raise such an ugly dog! If you want to raise a dog, just tell me, I I will definitely give you a dog that is a hundred times better than this!" As he said that, he took a few steps closer to Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue said with a deliberate smile: "Who told me that I am a 'stinky' girl, and I am only qualified to have such an 'ugly' dog..."
Xiao Yi choked, touched his nose awkwardly, and quickly winked as if nothing had happened: "Stinky girl, your medical skills are really good. It has only been half a month, and Qian Moyang's right hand can already be used by himself. Use chopsticks to eat."
"This is natural!" When it comes to medical skills, Nangong Yue is not modest. Seeing no one around, she whispered again, "It turned out that these people had to help you because of your grandfather's orders. However, after this disaster, they must be somewhat convinced by you. Why don't you strike while the iron is hot?" If you subdue them and return to southern Xinjiang in the future, you won’t be alone!”
"Stinky girl, you are so right!" Xiao Yi imitated Nangong Yue and lowered his voice, but his tone was a bit exaggerated, "Since you helped me come up with the idea, then a good person will do it to the end and come and help me. Right." He stared at Nangong Yue with a pair of dark eyes.
"Solve your own affairs by yourself." Nangong Yue said angrily. She kindly reminded him, but he climbed up the pole.
"I have no other friends in the capital." Xiao Yi looked at Nangong Yue pitifully, looking like a pitiful little boy who was bullied by his stepmother.
He was so embarrassed to say it! The corners of Nangong Yue's mouth twitched, "Isn't Mr. Chen your friend?"
"That kid you're talking about." Speaking of Chen Quying, Xiao Yi curled his lips angrily, "His father recently sent him to the Imperial College to study. It's hard to even meet him once!" He reluctantly joined in. Come over and say shamelessly, "Anyway, if you don't agree to help me, I will pester you and not leave!"
"You..." Nangong Yue was already speechless. Is this a kind intention on her part to cause trouble for herself? This big trouble is stuck with you, right?
"How about it?" Xiao Yi looked at her triumphantly, "If you don't agree, I will pester you every night from now on."
Nangong Yue rolled her eyes and suddenly smiled: "Then you give me this horse, and I will promise you." She pointed at the splendid black horse next to Xiao Yi, very coveted, although she I don’t know much about the art of looking at horses, but I know that it is very rare to find a horse with this kind of appearance.
"This..." Xiao Yi was a little embarrassed.
This time it was Nangong Yue's turn to gain the upper hand, and she calmly said, "What? You can't even give away a horse. It's so insincere!" With that, he turned around to leave.
Xiao Yi took her hand and looked a little lonely: "Yue Ying is the only descendant of the black cloud riding snow that my mother rode back then. I can agree to anything else you want. , but this one won’t work!”
It turns out that this dark cloud riding on the snow has such a special name - Yueying.
Xiao Yi’s mother passed away many years ago, so Nangong Yue is naturally not easy to win favor from others.
Nangong Yue was joking at first, so she took a step back: "Forget it, a gentleman does not take what others like. Although I am not a gentleman, I am not a villain at all. I don't want your horse. How about this, you Come and teach me how to ride a horse?" After a pause, he added, "If you need help in the future, I will do whatever I can to help you."
"It's a deal!" Xiao Yi's eyes were bright: "Wait for me here, I'll be here in a moment!" After saying that, he turned around and hurried away, even Yue Ying stayed, as if he had forgotten He came on horseback.
Nangong Yue, who also stayed where she was, couldn't help but look curiously at Wuyun Taxue, who was obviously a famous horse. It also looked at Nangong Yue meekly with its big brown eyes, and flicked its long pony tail briskly.
It looks so gentle, as if calling Nangong Yue to touch it.
Nangong Yue couldn't help but step forward and touched it tentatively. She felt a little strange in her heart: isn't it said that famous horses have their own temperament? Why is this horse so docile?
Seeing Yueying's gentle personality, Nangong Yue boldly touched her a few more times.
At this moment, Xiao Yi came over leading a smaller horse with white fur.
"So beautiful!" Nangong Yue couldn't help but admired. The white horse was indeed very beautiful, and its snow-white hair even reflected a pale golden light in the sunlight.
Xiao Yi indeed forgot that he left Yue Ying here. He stared blankly at the horse beside Nangong Yue and said with some hesitation: "Did you just... touch Yue Ying?"
Nangong Yue curled her lips and said deliberately dissatisfied: "Can't you touch it?" Xiao Yi is not such a stingy person.
"Of course not!" Xiao Yi quickly defended himself, "It's just that Yueying has a violent temper and has kicked and injured many grooms over the years. I'm afraid you will be hurt by it."
"Really?" Nangong Yue was a little suspicious and touched Yue Ying's big head, but it still didn't move.
"This is impossible!" Xiao Yi muttered to himself in disbelief. Yueying has been with him since he was born. He has only recognized him since he was a child. Even his father will not give him face. He will even kick him when he is in a bad mood... I don't know why he is so docile to Nangong Yue today. Could it be that he is sick? Already?
Xiao Yi tentatively touched Yue Ying's mane, and it snorted loudly, almost spitting on him.
Nangong Yue was so amused that she covered her mouth and smiled: "It seems that Yueying likes me more!"
Xiao Yi patted Yue Ying's head twice, and said with a miserable look on his face: "You heartless person, I provide you with good food, drink, and housing on weekdays, and I even send someone to take care of you. , I personally selected a wife for you, and you actually treated me like this..."
Nangong Yue couldn't help but be amused again, her eyes were smiling like crescent moons.
"Humph! You little heartless boy!" Xiao Yi slapped the horse hard, and Yueying neighed softly and nuzzled Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi pouted at Nangong Yue proudly, then pointed to the white horse next to him and said, "What do you think of Bai Xue? It has a very docile temperament and is perfect for beginners to practice riding skills."
Nangong Yue followed his gaze and looked at the white horse, and found that it was not only beautiful, but also not very big. As Xiao Yi said, it should be more suitable for beginners like her to practice.
She stepped forward and touched it gently. When she saw a bag of maltose hanging beside the saddle, she took it off and fed it one. This horse is indeed extremely docile, with no bad behavior or temperament, and even its eyes are very gentle.
Xiao Yi took credit and said: "Baby girl, I'm not bad to you, right? As soon as I knew you were coming to participate in the spring hunting, I specially picked this horse and brought it over to you." As he said that, on the horse Hakuba gave him a light pat on his neck.
"Practice is practice, I may not be able to keep this horse." Nangong Yue said with a hint of regret, "If I take Bai Xue back, how do you want me to explain it?"
Xiao Yi thought about it carefully, and it was the same. I can only compromise and say: "Okay. I'll raise it for you first."
"Hurry up and teach me how to ride!" Looking at this beautiful horse, Nangong Yue was also eager to try, "Should I just sit on it and start running?"
"No..." Xiao Yi was so scared that Nangong Yue broke out in a cold sweat. The smelly girl was usually calm and composed, but now when she encountered something she didn't understand, she was really impulsive... a little cute.
He curled his lips and said, "Sit on it first, and I'll lead you around for a couple of laps!"
"Okay..." Nangong Yue pursed her lips regretfully. She had always longed for the free and easy feeling of flying horse hooves, but it seemed that she could only come step by step...
Xiao Yi carefully helped Nangong Yue get on the horse. He found a secluded place and led the horse around and around. From time to time, he reminded Nangong Yue to keep his chest up and his abdomen relaxed. When walking or running fast, keep his calves and knees Clamp the horse hard with your inner thighs, lean forward, your buttocks and saddle seem to be touching but not touching, and follow the rhythm of the horse's running...
They thought that no one else saw this scene, but they did not know that the maid sent by the queen had a clear view of everything.
The palace maid turned around and hurried back to the queen's tent, leaned over and said a few words in the queen's ear.
"Them?" The queen was a little surprised. From what she knew, Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi should have very few opportunities to interact.
The queen pondered for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, Nangong Yue was beautiful, and Xiao Yi was also a rare handsome man; Nangong Yue was the legitimate daughter of the aristocratic Nangong family, and Xiao Yi was the prince of Zhennan, so they were a perfect match. Look at their childhood sweethearts now, it is indeed a beautiful thing! She suddenly had the idea of proposing a marriage for them, and murmured: "They are quite a match..."
"Your Majesty." Nanny Wen leaned over slightly and said, "I remember that Your Majesty once said that he intended to make the Prince of Zhennan the Lord, in order to deepen the connection between the royal family and the Palace of Zhennan..."
"Really?" The queen thought about it carefully and remembered that the emperor seemed to have said something similar.
However... the queen slightly curved her lips, it was hard to say whether this matter with the Lord would be successful or not.
……
On the second day, the spring hunt really begins. When the morning star appears on the eastern horizon, all the princes, clan relatives, ministers and noble children who participated in the spring hunt gathered in front of the emperor's tent.
The emperor looked at the people who had surrendered with high spirits and said loudly: "Traveling for hunting is a way of teaching martial arts. Our Dayu Dynasty conquered the world on horseback. The late emperor's invincibility was all because of the generals and soldiers under his command. With unrivaled martial arts skills and strong blood, all the nobles should not forget their roots! Today, let me see how brave and good a man I am in Dayu is! Whoever comes first in today’s hunt will be rewarded greatly by me!"
What he said made the young disciples below excited. As the saying goes, "Learning martial arts and bringing goods to the imperial family", they were all eager to enter the paddock immediately and kill a lot to show off their abilities.
After some routine and tedious rituals, the emperor gave an order, and the **** men all jumped on their horses and flew into the mountains and forests with their servants, leaving only billowing yellow smoke behind. The area in front of the tent suddenly became quite empty.
Nangong Yue also got on the horse, but as a beginner like her, she naturally did not want to compete with these people and just walked the horse leisurely on her own.
When women participate in spring hunting, they mostly stay in their tents. At most, they occasionally ride horses slowly for a few laps and take a walk. Few people actually follow him to hunt.
"The Lord of Yaoguang County is still here." A clear and gentle voice came into Nangong Yue's ears, but it made her feel cold.
This voice is so familiar to Nangong Yue, she will never forget it!
Nangong Yue's face was a little gloomy, but it returned to normal in the blink of an eye, and she controlled the horse to turn backwards slightly stiffly. Three or four feet behind, the third prince Han Lingfu was wearing a snow-white riding costume and riding a strong white horse. He looked like his mother, and he was as handsome as if he was carved from the finest jade. There was no flaw at all. He was worthy of being in the royal capital. He is known as the "White Jade Prince".
He smiled slightly, with a warm smile and clear eyebrows, which made people feel good about him, but not Nangong Yue.
No matter how disgusted she was in her heart, Nangong Yue would still do enough to show courtesy on the surface. She raised a faint smile and said, "Yaoguang pays homage to His Highness the Third Prince. Please forgive Yaoguang for being rude!" She paused. After a pause, he said again, "Shaoguang's riding skills are not good, so he won't join in the fun. Why is His Highness the Third Prince still here?"
"I don't like to fight with others, so let's go hunting later!" Han Lingfu still smiled gently. Previously, he was punished by the emperor to think about his mistakes for selling illegal salt. The emperor ostensibly scolded him for knowing people. It was unclear, but Han Lingfu knew that the emperor was still suspicious of him, which also made him have to be more careful in the future...
A gloomy look flashed in Han Lingfu's eyes, but then they were as noble as moonlight.
If you don’t like to fight for it, where did the throne come from in your previous life! Nangong Yue sneered in her heart, how blind must she have been in her previous life to not see this person's true face!
Han Lingfu was immersed in his own thoughts and did not notice Nangong Yue's fleeting sarcasm. He had a good plan in mind. Nangong Yue was deeply loved by the queen, so naturally he couldn't let her go. If he surrendered to Nangong Yue, he would have another channel to know the Queen's news. This was the reason why he condescended to talk to Nangong Yue at this moment.
As for Nangong Yue curing the fifth prince... Han Lingfu didn't care. Even though a teenage girl had superb medical skills, how much thought could she have?
Nangong Yue did not want to tangle with Han Lingfu anymore, so she said: "Yao Guang is not good at riding and shooting, so I plan to go back to the tent to rest. Where is the Third Prince?"
Han Lingfu naturally understood what she meant, and his face stiffened. It was the first time in his life that he had been ordered to be kicked out like this. Han Lingfu suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, his face quickly returned to his usual gentleness, and said: "Then why don't I send the county lord off?"
"Third cousin!" Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, Mingyue Princess Qu Jiayue's bright appearance came into view. Today was spring hunting, so she naturally wore a riding outfit. The pink riding outfit mixed with gold threads shone in the sun.
Han Lingfu's eyes flashed and he smiled brightly, "Mingyue, aren't you with the second emperor brother?"
Qu Jiayue curled her lips angrily and complained: "Second cousin said he was taking me with him just to cause trouble for him, so he left me and ran away! Humph! You thought I was rare!" After a pause, she said Looking at Han Lingfu expectantly, "Third cousin, can I go hunting with you? You won't dislike me too, right?"
Based on Han Lingfu's consistent behavior, even if he really dislikes it in his heart, he can only say at this moment: "How could it be possible, Mingyue, then you go hunting with me." But he felt a little irritable in his heart. It seems that today's There is no chance for the leader, he can only wait until tomorrow...
"Thank you, third cousin." Qu Jiayue was overjoyed. She seemed to have noticed Nangong Yue beside her at this moment, an unknown taste flashed in her eyes, and she said deliberately, "This seems to be a girl from Nangong Mansion, right? ”
Han Lingfu naturally knew the character of this cousin very well. He guessed that she was going to embarrass Nangong Yue, so he spoke up and said, "This is the third girl of Nangong Mansion, and now she is the head of Yaoguang County, who was conferred by my father! ”
"See you, Princess!" Nangong Yue took advantage of the situation and bowed, "Please forgive Yaoguang for being a newbie in horse riding and it is inconvenient for him to dismount and salute."
"So it's the Lord of Yaoguang County!" Qu Jiayue said with a smile, "Yaoguang wants to go hunting with us?"
Nangong Yue responded calmly: "If Yaoguang is not good at riding and shooting, he will not have warts and add trouble to His Highness the Third Prince and the Princess."
"Third cousin, let's go quickly. We're late, and I'm afraid all the prey will be robbed." Qu Jiayue said enthusiastically, but thought in her heart: This Fluctlight finally has self-awareness. !
Han Lingfu smiled at Nangong Yue again and said, "Master Yaoguang County, I'll take my leave first!" After saying that, he controlled the reins to turn the white horse under him and rode with Qu Jiayue. As he left, not far away, several of the prince's guards who were waiting there quickly followed him, and they quickly disappeared into the forest.
Nangong Yue looked at Han Lingfu's retreating back and sighed deeply in her heart: Although Han Lingfu is by no means a good person, it is undeniable that he does have heroic talents, such as superb martial arts and riding skills, such as outstanding Literary talent, for example... Even though he was extremely impatient, he still restrained himself and maintained a humane appearance.
Nangong Yue smiled self-deprecatingly. If it weren't for Han Lingfu's abilities, how could she have been deceived so miserably by him in her previous life and deceived her into losing everything?
Then she thought of Qu Jiayue again. The last time they met was at the palace banquet. At that time, due to various scruples, she could not avenge the previous lantern festival, but this time it was really a gift from God. Great opportunity.
This hunting ground is deep in the mountains and jungles, and there are medicinal materials that can be picked everywhere. If you want to clean Princess Mingyue without leaving any trace, it is really convenient!
Nangong Yue’s lips couldn’t help but reveal a sly smile...
"Smelly girl, what bad ideas are you thinking about?"
There is only one person who would call her "stinky girl". You don't have to guess who it is.
Looking back at Xiao Yi beside her, Nangong Yue said angrily: "How could I have any bad ideas? You like to come up with bad ideas yourself, so you have the nerve to talk to me!"
Xiao Yi seemed to smell the invisible smell of gunpowder smoke in the air and asked tentatively: "Smelly girl, you seem to be in a bad mood. Who has offended you?"
Nangong Yue blinked, and the irritability in her heart immediately dissipated, and she deliberately complained: "You don't know, they went hunting. I originally wanted to follow them to have a look, but in the blink of an eye, they were gone!"
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Haha, they want to compete for the top spot, so of course they have to move fast!" He suggested to Nangong Yue enthusiastically, "Bastard girl, let's go hunting together! Hunting is so fun! Look, I brought you a bow."
Xiao Yi showed off and took off a bow hanging on the side of the horse. The bow was red in color. The bow made of blood wood was engraved with exquisite patterns. The ink-colored bow strings were made of diamond ink unique to southern Xinjiang. Silk, reflecting a pearl-like color in the sunlight, is something extraordinary at first glance. Even though Nangong Yue did not practice martial arts, the exquisiteness of this bow made her eyes light up, but she did not reach out to pick it up.
Xiao Yi guessed her scruples and said carelessly: "When the spring hunting is over, I will keep it for you!" With that, he put the bloodwood bow directly into her hand.
Nangong Yue didn't show any pretense and took it readily. When she took it into her hands, she realized that the weight of this bow was much lighter than she expected. It was agile and light. At first glance, it seemed that it was specially made for women with insufficient arm strength.
Nangong Yue tried to pull the bow string and asked casually: "Do you want to compete for the leader?" As a famous murderer in his previous life, Xiao Yi will definitely get the title of leader if he takes action! However, Nangong Yue is very self-aware. If he brings along a beginner who can only hold him back, he basically doesn't need to think about being the leader or anything like that.
"Chief, why are you fighting for the top spot?" Xiao Yi shrugged indifferently and said casually, "I'm not interested in such a boring thing!" As he said that, he waved to Nangong Yue and said, "Come with me! How about I help you hunt a nest of cute little rabbits?"
Rabbit?
As a **** of murder with a notorious reputation in his previous life, is it really okay to have such low self-requirements?
But after thinking about it, she understood Xiao Yi's intention. As a proton, he should naturally keep a low profile in the capital. It is normal to hunt pheasants and rabbits. If he really goes to hunt big insects, black bears and the like, he would be stupid.
Forget it, just let the rabbit be a rabbit!
After all, this was Nangong Yue’s first hunt. She couldn’t wait to try this bow, and said enthusiastically: “Then let’s go now!”
Nangong Yue clamped down on the horse's belly with unfamiliar movements and walked towards the forest at the lead, with Xiao Yi following closely behind.
When she first entered the forest, Nangong Yue could not help but be a little cautious. It was only after a long time that she discovered that, let alone large beasts, except for a few pheasants passing by from time to time, not even a deer was seen. This made Nangong Yue It's a bit frustrating.
It seems that we can only hunt rabbits...
"This is just the periphery of the paddock." Seeing Nangong Yue's thoughts, Xiao Yi explained eloquently, "Before the spring hunting every year, the guards come to clear the place. Those large animals and beasts will only be in the paddock. Haunted in the depths."
"So that's it..." Nangong Yue suddenly realized. Thinking about it, the camp is right in front. There are some ladies and gentlemen in the camp. If the place is not clear, what if some beast without eyesight breaks through? , that can’t be described as chaos!
"Okay." Nangong Yue quickly adjusted her mentality, "Then let's go catch rabbits. Do you know where we can find rabbits? I promised my brother that I would bring a rabbit back to him." Even if it's not Dahei If you catch him personally, your brother won’t care, right?
Nangong Yue's bright smile made Xiao Yi lose consciousness for a while. He hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Of course! I hunted with my grandfather several times when I was a child. I am the best at catching rabbits and so on!"
"Old Zhennan King?"
Xiao Yi nodded and said nostalgically: "When my grandfather was still alive, he would often teach me kung fu and take me out hunting. At first, he hunted some pheasants, rabbits and so on. When I was 5 years old I once caught a nest of little rabbits, eight in total!" Speaking of this, Xiao Yi showed off very much, "However, my grandfather said that all things grow in an orderly manner. Unless it is for the purpose of wrapping the belly, you should not harm the pregnant female animal at will. and underage little beasts, so I sent the little rabbits back to the nest."
Xiao Yi's voice gradually became lower, "By the time I can hunt the wolf with my own hands, my grandfather has passed away..."
He has always regarded Xiao Fang as his mother, but he did not expect that Xiao Fang wanted to get rid of him.
His biological father could not bear his naughtiness and was ashamed of him.
After Xiao Yi saw all this clearly, he was really disheartened. If it weren't for Nangong Yue's enlightenment, he might have fallen into a trap.
And now...
When he learned that his grandfather had planned hard for him before his death and left manpower for him, Xiao Yicai finally felt that no one cared about him.
It’s just that my grandfather has...never seen him again.
Seeing the change in his expression, Nangong Yue spoke unconsciously and said softly: "The worst days are over."
Is the smelly girl trying to comfort him?
The darkness on Xiao Yi's body was swept away, and his eyes were as bright as obsidian.
