The prince does not fight for the heir

Chapter 92 The Hunt Begins

The camp belonging to Princess Zhiling is just behind Yuan’an Emperor Xingyu, not far from Xingyu, and there is a lake bay next to it, and a simple wooden stack is built between the lake bay and the camp to avoid going to the lake to draw water. The people who washed it stepped on the mud flat to make their feet full of mud.

Coincidentally, Emperor Yuan'an asked the Seventh Prince to camp at the right rear of Xingyu. In order, the Seventh Prince's camp was next to the Fourth Prince's camp, and the Sixth Prince's camp was right next to the princess's tent.

Animals avoid people. Before, I saw birds and animals everywhere from a distance. When people gathered more and more and started to take various actions vigorously, these animals all disappeared.

This is one of the joys of hunting. Before hunting animals, the first thing to do is to search for traces of animals. For large-scale hunting such as autumn hunting, thousands of soldiers will be dispatched to surround and drive animals. Spring hunting is relatively small. , those who participated in the hunting will form a small team, each going into the woods to hunt down the prey.

After everyone arrived and recognized their own camp, after a short break, Emperor Yuan'an issued an order, and everyone rode their horses around him.

Emperor Yuan'an announced loudly: "This time I won't engage in large-scale hunting. Everyone can hunt according to their own abilities! There are only two rules: one, do not harm pregnant mothers and cubs, and two, dinner It's what everyone got, whether you can fill your stomach or not depends on you!"

Emperor Yuan'an looked at all the sons and daughters who came with him this time, and suddenly called his name: "Yunzhen, Yunqi, Yunzuo, Yunyou! The four of you are still working hard in Mingdetang, and the school exams are not allowed. The gap between you, then the four of you should perform well this time!"

"Your servants take orders!" The four princes responded loudly at the same time.

Emperor Yuan'an smiled: "Let's do this! I will set another rule for you. From now on, each of you can bring up to three team members, and the results will be calculated according to the total obtained by all members of the group. Until Youshi, you will get here. All the prey will be handed in for weighing, and the winning team will reward a thousand taels of gold! Du, do you understand?"

"Understood!", "Understood!" Several princes and their companions echoed in unison.

Emperor Yuan'an laughed, and immediately cut off his arm: "Okay! Then I announce that the hunt has officially begun!"

All the princes moved with a bang, and quickly divided into four groups, each chose a direction, and rushed out on horseback.

Emperor Yuan'an looked behind him: "Yun Yi, Yun Zhi, Zhi Ling, you should start too! Although you don't participate in the competition, you should try your best, so don't you starve yourself when there are too few prey? "

Both Yunying and Yunzhi are adult princes who have reached the age of twenty and started to work on official business. They didn't need Emperor Yuan'an to take care of them, and when they got the order, they led their confidantes and friends to leave separately.

What Emperor Yuan'an cared more about was the eldest prince Yun Yi who used to be quite immature in speaking and acting, but now Yun Yi seemed to be a lot more normal despite being silent. , Liu Tai, who is young and mature, with a calm temperament, and Wang Banban, who has been taking care of the eldest prince's daily life since childhood.

Seeing Emperor Yuan'an looking over, Liu Tai bowed calmly on the horse's back, turned his head to Yun Yi and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to go hunting with me? Don't worry! I will hunt enough for Your Highness." food."

Yun Yi hesitated to speak to Emperor Yuan'an, turned his head and glanced at Liu Tai who was talking to him, nodded and said "OK", Er Er, accompanied by Wang Banban and Liu Tai, also rode away.

Emperor Yuan'an still felt not so relieved, but his son must learn to grow up slowly, and now his son's situation seems to have improved significantly compared to the past, which is very good.

As for the daughter... Emperor Yuan'an looked at Princess Zhiling again, only to see several girls chattering and discussing enthusiastically, as if they were arguing about something, but they hadn't set off yet, which made people smile.

The most different thing from the prince is probably that Princess Zhiling has her own female guards. Although there are not many of them, they all have good skills and can personally protect the princess. It is up to Princess Zhiling to decide.

This is what the girls are arguing about. Fu Xuechen thinks that the female guards are all good at it. If you take two or three with you, everyone will be well protected. Fu Rushuang has no objection, but Cui Xiaoyue, the princess companion, disagrees: " We are going to test our riding and shooting skills, so what's the point of taking them there?"

"My archery skills are average. I, I'm a little afraid that we won't be able to hunt enough prey. Maybe bringing them can make up for it?" Another companion, Xia Qinglian, hesitated.

"The Fu family is a family of generals, can the two sisters of the Fu family be worse at archery than the girls from my scholarly family? Are you all planning to bring guards?" Cui Xiaoyue pointed the finger at the two sisters Fu Rushuang and Fu Xuechen.

Ah... is this from Wen Chen's contempt for Wu Xun?

Fu Xuechen was a little ashamed, so he had no choice but to throw the question to the princess: "I'm just thinking about the safety of Her Royal Highness, whether or not to bring the female guards is up to the Princess to decide!"

Princess Zhiling's archery skills are actually worse than Fu Xuechen's. The results of the quiz last time were at the bottom of Xia Qinglian's. When Fu Xuechen proposed to bring guards, she wanted to agree, but when Cui Xiaoyue said this, she hesitated. Later, he suddenly realized that his father was the horseback emperor who conquered the world, and suddenly felt that he could not lose face of his father, so he said immediately: "Then don't take it with you! Anyway, the surrounding area has been cleaned up, and we don't go deep, just It should be safe to walk around the periphery."

The five girls negotiated and decided, and Princess Zhiling ordered the female guards to take turns guarding the camp and hunting on their own, while she took four companions and started the hunting trip.

As for whether the female guards have changed from light to dark, and sent a few people to follow and protect secretly, Zhiling doesn't care!In short, just follow along.

Bypassing the lake bay, the scenery in front changes. There is a forest on the left, a grass slope on the right edge of the forest, and a grassland to the right after turning over the grass slope. In the distance, there are heavy mountains, and the terrain begins to narrow.

"Which way are we going?" Princess Zhiling stood on the horse and asked.

"You can hunt whatever you want to eat, go to the grassland if you want to eat mutton and venison, and go to the forest if you want to eat rabbit and roe meat?" Fu Xuechen looked back at the big lake. In fact, eating fish is also good, but it seems that there are no fishing tools.

"Venison?" Both Xia Qinglian and Princess Zhiling were a little bit moved, mainly because sheep or deer are relatively large, and they are easier to be hit by arrows than rabbits and deer.

Cui Xiaoyue disagreed again: "I want to eat pheasant!"

She tried her best to encourage: "Your Highness, pheasant chicken is different from domestic chicken! It's delicious! Rabbit meat is also good, it's not as fishy as mutton, and it doesn't cause nose bleeding like venison."

"That's right!" Cui Xiaoyue added: "Maybe you can even pick edible wild fruits in the forest."

Thinking that today's lunch and dinner are all big meat, Fu Xuechen was also persuaded. Even if there are no wild fruits in this season, maybe edible mushrooms and wild vegetables can be picked. The combination of meat and vegetables is beautiful!

So the five girls once again unified their opinions and plunged into the forest on the left.
