Lu Qipei and Qi Yang rode outside for half an afternoon. From the emperor's chariot at the front of the team, to the chariots of the kings and princesses behind, to the chariots and horses accompanying the group of ministers at the end, the two of them walked around without partiality.
When the emperor heard Zhang Jian talk about it, he took a look at the car window, then turned his head and smiled at Zhang Jian: "Qi Yang's own choice of consort looks good now. It's better than I have given you this kind of love after a few years. The couples who got married have been around for a long time." After speaking, he sighed: "It's just these two people, how can it be good that they don't have any children."
Zhang Jian hurriedly said a few words, and the matter of comforting the emperor's children had his own destiny, so he didn't have to worry about it.
The emperor's chariot was followed by the prince's chariot. He didn't completely rest in the carriage, and he was looking at things with things in his hands from time to time. Occasionally raised his head and glanced out the window, and saw the two people riding horses joking and laughing, he couldn't help sighing, and then he immediately retracted his gaze.
King Wei saw that Qi Yang and his concubine didn't react, but the following princesses were a little envious when they saw their loving appearance. When I looked back at my concubine, who respected each other like a guest, my jealousy grew even stronger. There were not a few people who turned their heads and told their concubine to behave well during the autumn hunt, so I hoped that they would be able to overwhelm the two of them in other matters.
It is to pity those concubines, facing the suddenly cold-faced princess, completely confused.
Lu Qipei and Qi Yang didn't care about the impact of their walk in the circle on the crowd. The two of them were riding outside and watching the scenery, which was much more enjoyable than riding in a carriage. It wasn't until mid-afternoon that the two of them were a little tired, and then they got back into the carriage again.
Back in the carriage, the two first had a cup of tea, and then Qi Yang suddenly asked, "A Pei, did you see the horse that King Wei brought?"
Of course Lu Qipei saw it. For this autumn hunt, all the houses brought horses. Among them, the one brought by the King of Wei was the most outstanding. The jujube red horse was tall, with slender and powerful limbs. The horse was smooth and smooth. It can show its goodness. The horse has won a lot of praise along the way, and the King of Wei is very proud of it.
However, both Lu Qipei and Qi Yang recognized it, it was a grassland alien. If there is no accident, they are the same as the two white horses they kept in the mansion, they are all gifts from the previous honorary envoy.
Qi Yang and Lu Qipei didn't dare to ride at will, but King Wei looked at it with a big heart, and Qiu Shou even came here on purpose.
Holding the teacup, Lu Qipei thought for a while, and said, "Everyone has seen it, and the crown prince should know it. He is guarding Rong Guo and Xie Yuan now. This horse Wei Wang probably cannot ride."
Qi Yang took it seriously after hearing this, so he no longer bothered about this matter, and put it aside.
The team went straight to the evening, and finally arrived at Jiuyang Mountain before dark. Jiuyang Mountain has been a royal hunting ground since the founding of the country, but unexpectedly, there is even a palace in Yuanqiu, but Jiuyang Mountain does not have it.
"I, Daliang, want to inherit the style of the ancestors' martial arts, and I can't spend the depravity in comfort, so there is no palace in Jiuyang Mountain. Up to the emperor, down to the ministers and clans, all live in the military tent, and it can be regarded as a military experience. Suffering." There are elders in the clan, and the juniors who came back to Jiuyang Mountain for the first time taught in a serious manner, and several of the younger grandsons were also listed.
But that being said, how can the suffering of the military be experienced by staying in a tent for a few days? Especially these princes and grandsons have piles of luggage and groups of servants. Even a simple tent can be arranged like a palace, but living in a tent is a novel experience.
The few little emperors and grandsons looked eager to try, and the prince who happened to pass by couldn't help shaking his head.
But in any case, the placement of everyone is still very fast, and there is no need for these superiors to do it themselves. The house has its own guard servants to set up the tents. After going out for a walk, everything was set up when I came back.
After Lu Qipei and Qi Yang got off the bus, they went to the neighborhood to have a look. When they came back, the tents were almost set up. Desks and chairs, beds and screens, wardrobes and dressing tables are all in short supply - I always feel that moving it like this is actually more troublesome than living in a palace, and it's not really hard at all. But there are such rules, causing everyone trouble.
Zhi Ting stood in the tent, instructing the accompanying servants to make final adjustments, and when the two returned, they hurried forward and greeted each other.
Qi Yang said with a smile: "Okay, that's good. It's the first day of the day, and the chores are still a little busy. After you have free time, you don't have to watch Zhiting all day long. You can go out to play. Just don't let Yulin be an assassin and catch him."
Zhi Ting couldn't help laughing when she heard this, but of course she wouldn't refuse Her Royal Highness's kindness. He happily agreed, and seeing that the two of them had no other orders, he stepped back briskly.
Lu Qipei had been sitting in the tent for a while, and then he said to Qi Yang, "It's not good to live in a tent. It's not soundproof at all, and it's very noisy."
Qi Yang casually replied, "It's okay, I'll calm down later."
The autumn hunting lasts five days in total, the first and last days are used for traveling, and only the middle three days are actually hunting in the hunting grounds. Therefore, after everyone settled outside the hunting grounds the first night, they didn't make much noise, and they all recharged their batteries and waited for the next day to show their skills.
On the second day, the weather was as good as Sitian's monitoring calculated, the sky was clear and cloudless.
Lu Qipei and Qi Yang changed into neat riding outfits today, riding on horses with a bow in one hand and a rein in the other, looking very heroic. Beside Qi Yang, several princesses were dressed in normal clothes, obviously all of them wanted to participate in this autumn hunt.
Nanping has been very peaceful for a period of time since the fall of the King of Chu, but she had a bad relationship with Qi Yang, and with the affair of the King of Chu, the two sides can be regarded as completely enmity. At this moment, the hunting has not yet started, she glanced at Qi Yang and his wife, and then suggested: "It is rare for our sisters to get together like this. Today's opportunity is rare, why don't we compare with each other to see who has the best prey."
The princesses were all in high spirits, but this didn't prevent them from understanding Nanping's careful thinking—Nanping's concubine was born in a military commander, and among the consorts, he was the tallest and burlyest, and the best in martial arts.
Nothing else compares, but it's definitely a good player than hunting Nanping's concubine. In comparison, Qiyang's concubine was too thin, especially when he stood with them, women who had changed their riding clothes, they were made to look like women.
Because they understood Nanping's provocative thoughts, the other princesses didn't want to get involved at will, so no one said anything, just waiting for Qi Yang to respond first. Qi Yang also responded, she fiddled with the bowstring and said flatly, "No."
Nanping thought she was afraid, and immediately became complacent when she heard the words. You Qi glanced at Lu Qipei disdainfully: "I can't see it, Qi Yang, you now have self-knowledge."
Qi Yang didn't take Nanping to heart, but she was a little angry at her look. She was frowning and wanted to say something, but Lu Qipei gently tugged her sleeves. She looked at the latter and restrained her anger, completely ignoring Nanping.
Nan Ping said a few more strange words, seeing Qi Yang ignoring her at all, he just felt like a punch on cotton, which was extremely boring.
The few princesses beside them had seen enough of the excitement, and only then did they stand up and express their opinions. They didn't care about Qi Yang's refusal, and made an appointment for the competition. Only in this way, Qi Yang seemed to be excluded.
Qi Yang's back was straight and he didn't care. Fortunately, after a while, the emperor boarded the temporary high platform and announced that the hunting had begun.
Qiu Shou's first arrow was of course shot by the emperor, and the emperor shot the deer released by the guards with one arrow. Immediately with an order, hundreds of horses galloped out and roared into the hunting grounds and forests.
The leader was King Wei, followed by dozens of guards from his palace.
Since the emperor was getting old, he didn't do much when he was hunting in autumn. Just shoot an arrow at first to start, and then together with the elderly clan and important officials, drink tea, eat snacks and chat, waiting for those juniors who want to fight to come back with their prey.
The prince has been in poor health in recent years, and the emperor is distressed and does not force him. In addition, this year's eldest grandson will be replaced by his father, and the prince has led the task of patrolling the hunting grounds, so he will not participate in this autumn hunt. After waiting for everyone to enter the field, he rode a horse and led a team of feather forests into the hunting ground to patrol around, and by the way, he was able to exercise his muscles and bones.
Lu Qipei and Qi Yang entered the arena neither too early nor too late. After they entered the hunting ground, the hundreds of horsemen scattered into it like drops of water into the sea, and disappeared in a moment.
The two of them were followed by twenty or thirty guards.
Qi Yang suddenly heard a slight noise in the nearby grass, and without thinking, he raised his bow and shot an arrow. The arrow shot into the grass, but it didn't hit anything, but a small beast was startled. Before Qi Yang could see what it was, an arrow followed and pinned it on the spot. At this time, Qi Yang looked again and found that it was a fox.
Mixed-haired foxes are not very good-looking, and their fur is of little value. Qi Yang glanced at it and looked away. The guard behind him stepped forward, jumped off the horse, picked up the stray fox, and found the arrow of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
The arrow at the back was made by Lu Qipei, and Qi Yang turned around and asked her, "Let's go hunting first, or catch the rabbit first?"
Seeing how serious she was when she asked, Lu Qipei couldn't help laughing: "Of course I'll go hunting first. Your Highness has practiced bows and arrows at home for many days, so it can't be completely useless, right?" Then he winked at her: "More What's more, His Royal Highness Nanping's speech is really unpleasant, if you can't hunt more prey and go back and hit her in the face, wouldn't His Highness feel aggrieved?"
Seeing her like this, Qi Yang couldn't help laughing. He raised his longbow and patted her on the body lightly, and said angrily, "You know I'm angry, but you stopped me at that time, which made her feel proud for a while."
Lu Qipei pursed his lips and smiled innocently: "But His Highness didn't want to fight with her, so why should she be agitated by her?"
Qi Yang glanced at her, and rode his horse forward: "That's all I have for riding and archery, and relying on the strength of my attendants is also invincible. Since the concubine puts down the big words, I wonder if it might make me proud?"
Lu Qipei followed him on a horse, with a gentle look on his face and no sharpness: "I'll try my best."
As she spoke, she bent her bow and shot an arrow, and there was a commotion in the bushes, apparently hitting something. Qi Yang looked back at her in surprise, not knowing when the other party found the prey.
