Marriage as Queen: Work with Son

Chapter 125 Where is Princess Li?

Before the hunt begins, Emperor Qianyuan will select a suitable animal.

After making a mark on it, put it back into the forest.

The contestants not only have to hunt enough prey, but also have to find out the marked animal.

Different prey will record different scores.

Prey such as bears and tigers are very special because of their large size and ferocious temperament.

If the coat color is beautiful, it can be given to Emperor Qianyuan to get other rewards.

Small, non-lethal animals like rabbits and pheasants are worth one point each.

After the hunt is over, whoever gets the most points will win the jackpot.

By the way, he showed his face in front of Emperor Qianyuan.

And the person who finds a special prey can ask Emperor Qianyuan for a wish.

Stimulated by such rewards, Nanyue Erlang's enthusiasm for martial arts riding and shooting really increased.

Although men are respected in Nanyue, women are also allowed to participate in the annual hunting.

Emperor Qianyuan was in his prime, if he sent his daughter into the palace to be favored, he might not be able to help the family find a future.

Therefore, every year, many people take their daughters who are good at riding and archery to the hunting grounds.

Their goal is also very simple, which is to let their children show their faces in front of Emperor Qianyuan.

As for the marked animal, it was the main target of the harem and princes.

Although it is tempting to find this animal in exchange for a wish, it is not easy to make this wish.

Asking too much, the emperor smiled, but it is inevitable that there will be no grudges in his heart.

If you want less, you will be ridiculed as petty.

Therefore, what and how to want has become a science.

It is necessary to make just the right request, but also to make Emperor Qianyuan feel comfortable.

This is really not an easy job.

Therefore, even if someone finds the animal, they will secretly give it to the accompanying concubines, or princes and nobles.

After all, dealing with these people is far more convenient than dealing with Emperor Qianyuan.

Moreover, the animal that can make a wish is indeed the main target of the concubines.

There will be some female officials who are proficient in riding and archery, leading the noble masters in the palace to end.

The purpose is to track down this particular animal.

It's just that this animal is not easy to find, it seems like it was lost last year.

The beast was very good at hiding, and no one turned it out until the hunting was over.

The year before last, Concubine Li, who traveled with Emperor Qianyuan, found one.

She asked Emperor Qianyuan for an heir, and Emperor Qianyuan agreed.

From that day on, except for the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, when Emperor Qianyuan went to the Queen's Palace regularly, the rest of the time was left to Concubine Li.

One and a half months later, Concubine Li was found to be pregnant.

That's the end of this monopoly.

It's just that she didn't live up to expectations, and finally died in the delivery room, giving birth to a little princess.

With this role model in front, the concubines who accompanied her all stared at this prize.

Even Mu Wan'er asked her family to help her choose the best female riding and shooting officer.

The queen has no children, and she is old, and has already cut off the hope of giving birth.

In the palace, she is already the only imperial concubine.

If there is another prince, there is no guarantee that he will not be able to go up in the future.

Thinking of this, Mu Wan'er touched her stomach quietly, she is not an unlucky person like Concubine Li.

The abbot of Yuqing Temple said that she has a great fortune.

The day before the hunt started, there were various competitions.

These include horse racing, riding and archery, and martial arts competitions
In addition to the members of the royal family, there were military generals of the court and the children of officials of the third rank and above.

What they have to do is to perform desperately in front of Emperor Qianyuan and leave a deep impression on Emperor Qianyuan.

On the day when the competition started, Emperor Qianyuan looked around at the contestants below, and suddenly asked Song Sanxi, the chief eunuch beside him, "Where is Princess Li?"
