Zhu Junfan knew that although the bow in his hand was not impressive, it was not something ordinary people could pull up, so he curled his lips: Zhu Junyang, why does he deserve such a beating
"The first task of my minister is to protect your safety, the emperor!" Zhu Junyang's handsome face was matched with a serious expression, which was somewhat charming.
Zhu Junfan waved his hand at him as if to dismiss him, and said: "I just shoot a few arrows casually in a few nearby enclosures, and there are so many guards following me, what danger can there be? The opportunity is rare, let's go and play, don't come here This is stuck!!"
Zhu Junyang remained unmoved, with an air of devotion to his duty. But the eldest prince couldn't wait any longer: "Father, can my son go hunting?"
Hunting, just rely on that little toy-like bow in your hand? Zhu Junfan raised his eyebrows and glanced at his son. It's not that he looks down on his son, seven or eight years old, although he has learned some boxing skills from the guards, he still has a lot of punches and embroidered legs, and he has just started riding and shooting, so what can he shoot
However, Zhu Junfan, who considered himself a loving father, glanced in Yu Xiaocao's direction, and said to his son, "You want to go hunting? Yes!"
Because of his words, Zhu Hanwen's cute little face burst into a joyful smile, and when he was about to cheer, his father continued: "But...you have to stay by Master Yu's side!"
Zhu Hanwen was happy for less than three seconds, and immediately drooped his face again, and said unhappily: "Father, Master Yu has a daughter's family, how can he hunt! Let me follow her, why not stay here with you!"
"Since my son is so filial, let's stay!" Zhu Junfan, a fool, smiled indifferently.
"Father..." Zhu Hanwen twisted his body like a twist, trying to use a coquettish strategy to soften his father's heart.
"Stay where you are, or go hunting with Yu Aiqing! There are only two choices!" Although Zhu Junfan is usually kind to his children, once he makes a decision, it is difficult to be more accommodating.
The First Prince couldn't be more clear about this point. He didn't struggle for long before making a choice: "Then... I'd better go hunt some small animals with Master Yu..."
Yu Xiaocao on the side blinked her big eyes: "Father and son, do you want to ask for my opinion?" When did I say I was going hunting? My own hunting skills are worrying, and I still carry a small oil bottle? It's okay to change someone else, the eldest prince's status is precious, if bumped into each other, who can afford it
"That... Your Majesty, Your Highness, I don't know how to hunt..." Yu Xiaocao interjected.
The eldest prince immediately interjected: "Father, look... Lord Yu doesn't know how to hunt, can I have another person to accompany you? The third son of the Rongguo family brought two ferocious hounds, he must be very powerful. Why don't you let him Accompany Erchen!"
Yu Xiaocao secretly flattened her mouth: Your Highness, how much do you dislike me? Don't be so obvious, okay? Be careful next time you drink bitter medicine! !
This time, it was the empress who spoke: "My lord, Miss Yu said she doesn't know how to hunt. That's being modest. I heard that when Miss Yu was eight years old, she often went to the mountains to hunt and improve food, and she never came back empty-handed. Her father I even caught a black bear! Like a father, like a daughter, Miss Yu will not be too bad!"
The corner of Yu Xiaocao's mouth twitched: Enough is enough for you couple! Don't you know that I am a person who cherishes my own life, so naturally I won't go to dangerous places, and want to coax the First Prince to follow me? Really spare no effort!
In the past, she just set up a trick, set a trap, and used Lingshi water as bait. How could it be hunting? If she was asked to shoot with a bow and arrow, it is estimated that one out of ten would be a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. It also involved her father, if the father had the ability to hunt bears, why would he almost have a leg amputated
When Zhu Hanwen heard this, he immediately looked at Yu Xiaocao with admiration, without any reluctance just now. Little friend, you are so coaxing!
Zhu Junfan's words made the eldest prince completely agree to follow Yu Xiaocao: "Yu Aiqing, don't you have two very brave giant dogs in your family? Even that guy Ning Donghuan covets the god dog, you can't be wrong! Huang Er, if you follow her, even if you don't draw a bow, you can still get a lot of prey!"
A divine dog that even Ning Donghuan envied? Zhu Hanwen looked at Xiaocao with even more fiery eyes: "Master Yu, where is your hunting dog? Why didn't you see it along the way?"
Little black and little white are also allowed to participate in the autumn hunting. However, in order not to affect the marching of the horses, the two little ones followed the large troop from a distance, and when they reached the grassland, they were like ducks in water, running until they disappeared. Only occasionally when he thought of his master, he would release a prey to the gate of the palace, which made the patrolling guards a lot of money.
Zhu Junfan also echoed: "Yes! Don't hide Yu Aiqing's hunting dog. If you don't pull it out to practice at this time, when will you wait? What the hunting dog gets is also counted as the hunting spoils. Don't you want to fight for it?" rank?"
ranking? Is it plausible for a person who can't even draw a bow to get the top three in hunting? Yu Xiaocao rolled her eyes in her heart, and shouted towards the open grassland: "Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, come back—"
Zhu Hanwen rode on his pony, stood up straight and looked into the distance, his chubby little face was full of anticipation and excitement. But after a while, there was no movement on the prairie, the little guy was disappointed again, and muttered: "Master Yu, is your voice too low for Xiao Hei Xiao Bai to hear? Or, if you speak louder Roaring loudly..."
Before he finished his words, the pony under his crotch became restless, stamping its hooves and turning around in place. If the little eunuch hadn't held the rein tightly, it might have broken free and ran away. In this way, he was almost thrown to the ground a few times. Seeing this, Zhu Junyang who was beside him hurriedly bent down, lifted the eldest prince onto his horse and sat down firmly.
The other horses also began to get restless. However, fortunately, the mounts of the royals were all carefully selected, and after rigorous training, they were quickly brought under control.
At this time, two small dots, one black and one white, sprang out from the jungle in the distance, moving rapidly. The dots are getting bigger and bigger, the eldest prince only needs to blink a few times, and he can already see the whole picture of the two dots, they are two ferocious-looking wolfhounds, one black and one white.
While breathing, the two divine dogs stopped not far from the crowd. Because the owner has warned them that not everyone can accept them and treat them kindly, so keep some distance from the crowd.
Xiaohong, who was already a little impatient, saw the two long-lost partners, and greeted the two little ones without waiting for the owner to speak, and greeted the two little ones with her front hooves enthusiastically. Xiaobai was as cold as ever, while Xiaohei licked Xiaohong's horse's face affectionately, as a response.
Two small blue eyes looked at their master excitedly and affectionately. Xiaocao got off the horse and wrapped one arm around the neck of a handsome wolf, wreaking havoc on top of their heads. The two cubs enjoyed the master's touch very much, their eyes were squinted, and the corners of their mouths were curled up as if they were smiling.
"Wow! Master Yu, your dog is so big and majestic!!" Zhu Hanwen walked behind her at some point, and stopped three steps away from her. Because he knew that generally more brave hounds are somewhat wild, except for their own masters who rarely accept the approach of strangers.
"Your Majesty! Those two are obviously... the eldest prince, will it be dangerous?" The minister in charge of the paddock has been exposed to more prey, so he can naturally tell the difference between wolves and dogs. he asked with some concern.
Zhu Junfan, who is a father, didn't feel nervous at all: "It's okay, Mr. Yu is here!"
Sure enough, when Xiaobai showed his vigilance, wrinkled his nose and started to show his teeth at Zhu Hanwen, Xiaocao patted his ears lightly, and said with a smile: "Xiaobai, don't be nervous! He is a friend, not an enemy! Relax! You see clearly, protecting him is also one of your tasks today!"
Seeing Xiaobai's ferocious expression suddenly turned normal, Zhu Hanwen said in surprise, "Master Yu, Xiaobai seems to understand what you said!"
Xiaocao turned her head and waved at him, the little guy leaned closer, bravely trying to touch Xiaobai's smooth and shiny fur, but the arrogant guy avoided him. Xiaocao said to Zhu Hanwen, who looked disappointed: "Eldest prince, Xiaobai's temper is not very good, you should touch Xiaohei. He should be more docile!"
Xiao Hei, who was betrayed by his master, heard his name mentioned in the mouth of the master, turned around excitedly, moved his big head to squeeze Xiao Bai away, and grinned to show off his cuteness.
Zhu Hanwen was immediately amused when he saw the cute look of the big dog, which was taller than himself, begging for petting and praise. The light in this black dog's eyes is softer, no wonder Lord Yu said it has a good temper!
"You can reach out and touch it!" Seeing the eldest prince approaching, Yu Xiaocao had an expression on her face that wanted to touch it but didn't dare, her big eyes were shining brightly, she looked like a little milk dog begging for meat and bones , so cute that people want to pinch his chubby little face. In fact, her hands had already done so on their own!
Zhu Hanwen was taken aback for a moment, staring blankly at the claw that retracted. Except for his father and mother, the people around him were either in awe or fawning on him, and no one had ever dared to pinch his little face. He didn't get angry because of this, but felt a little novel and close. Master Yu probably liked him, so he pinched his little face, right
Yu Xiaocao glanced guiltily in the direction of the emperor and queen, praying that they would not see her disrespect. After meeting the eyes of the emperor who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, she turned her back in self-deception, pretending that nothing happened, everything was your illusion, it was all an illusion...
"Prince, Xiao Hei is very docile. After you get used to it, you can ride on its back. However, it's better to ride a horse safely, be careful!" Yu Xiaocao's words successfully diverted the little guy's attention.
