Chapter 192 The Paddock
The sound of the horn came from a distance, Fang Ruxuan opened her misty eyes, and found that it was pitch black outside the window, and the palace lantern in the corner was still emitting a soft light.

Now that the lamp is lit, it can be seen that it is time to get up.

Fang Ruxuan muttered in pain, and stretched out her snow-white lotus root arms from the brocade quilt, but before she lifted the quilt, Chu Yuan stretched out his hand and took her back, "It will take a while for the paddock." , sleep a little longer."

The naturalness of the words, as if he had participated in winter hunting before.

However, thinking that he was attending with Chu Yuan, since he said it was still early, let's take a break for a while, Fang Ruxuan fell asleep again with peace of mind.

When she woke up again, there was a faint light outside the window, and there was nothing beside her, but the clothes Fang Ruxuan was going to wear were neatly placed beside the bed.

Fang Ruxuan was startled, she got up and stuck her head out of the bed curtain.

The hall was quiet, only Chu Yuan was sitting on the bed in front of the window, holding a book in one hand, and stroking a bowl of hot tea on the table with the other hand.

"What time is it?"

Seeing that he was still free to read, Fang Ruxuan asked aloud.

Chu Yuan glanced back and said, "It's not time for Chen Shi, but it's almost time to get up."

As he spoke, Chu Yuan raised his voice and called out "Lilac".

After grooming and dressing properly, and having breakfast, Fang Ruxuan followed Chu Yuan out, and she didn't forget to look back when she left the courtyard.

On the plaque at the gate of the courtyard, there are three big characters flying like dragons and phoenixes: Zhaohua Palace.

The paddock villa is as grand and luxurious as the palace villa that Fang Ruxuan lived in when she first arrived in Yao Kingdom, but thinking that she only lives here once a year, and it is always empty on weekdays, Fang Ruxuan feels a little pity.

Chu Yuan seemed to have guessed what Fang Ruxuan was thinking, turned around and said with a smile: "When summer comes, the father will bring the queen/concubine to come here to escape the summer heat. At that time, he can stay for a month or two. The summer scene here But it looks much better, next summer, I will treat you well."

Fang Ruxuan couldn't help thinking of the peach blossom jade pendant in her dowry box.

Behind the jade pendant is a line of words engraved by Chu Yuan: In the coming year, let's enjoy the peach blossom together, okay?
Appreciate the peach blossoms together in spring, avoid the heat together in summer, and come to the paddock to take a break in autumn and winter like this. The two of them can be together day and night like this, but it is also warm and sweet.

Fang Ruxuan pursed her lips and smiled, and nodded slightly.

In a blink of an eye, Chu Yuan frowned, shook his head and said, "However, maybe next year we can only enjoy the peach blossoms together, and I'm afraid we won't be able to avoid the summer heat."

"how?"

He has already foreseen what will happen next summer?Fang Ruxuan was somewhat skeptical.

Chu Yuan glanced back at the servant girl who was following far behind, lowered his head slightly and leaned into Fang Ruxuan's ear, and said, "Next summer, you may have trouble moving, so how can you come to the paddock after a long journey?"

Can not move?

Fang Ruxuan only thought for a while, and understood what he meant. Seeing the naughty smile on his face, she blushed with shame for a moment, and because she couldn't do anything to him outside, she had to lower her head. She glared at him in embarrassment.

Chu Yuan smiled more and more complacently.

After walking for a stick of incense, they arrived at a magnificent palace. On the plaque hanging on the gate of the courtyard, there were three plain gold characters of "Daying Palace".

After entering the main hall, a servant girl came to ask An to reply, saying that the king was eating, Chu Yuan waved his hand, and led Fang Ruxuan to sit in the armchair.

After drinking a cup of tea, King Yao appeared. After casually caring that Fang Ruxuan was used to living in the paddock, he got up and left the palace gate. Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan followed closely.

Today's King Yao and Chu Yuan are both wearing black riding clothes, and King Yao has an inch-thick dagger stuck in his boots. It seems that he intends to go to the paddock for winter hunting in person.

Fang Ruxuan raised her eyebrows, looked at Chu Yuan with questioning eyes, and saw that he had a look of surprise on his face, as if he knew it would be like this.

The entrance of the paddock was already densely packed with people. At first glance, there seemed to be thousands of people. Except for the thousand Imperial Forest Army brought from the palace, most of the others were here to participate in the winter hunting. of.

What they have in common is that, regardless of whether they are men or women, they are all dressed in smart and neat riding attire, which is not as complicated as in the past.

A high platform had already been set up in front of the crowd. On the wooden stakes in the center of the platform, flags with white characters on a black background fluttered in the cold wind, and the big "Yao" character became vivid.

There was a red carpet in the middle, and Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan followed King Yao on the high platform from left to right. Along with their footsteps, cheerful shouts rang out frequently. At this moment, it really made people's blood boil. .

When Yao Wang and others stood on the high platform, thousands of people knelt down together, and the voice of "Long live the king, long live, long live, His Royal Highness, thousand years old, thousand years old" echoed in the entire mountain forest.

Shouting, King Yao said a few symbolic words, then looked at Chu Yuan, Chu Yuan nodded and smiled, walked forward a few steps to the high platform, raised his hand to stop the noise in the crowd, and said loudly: "Winter hunting is held once a year, which demonstrates the bravery and martial arts of my sons and daughters. The flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year. The warriors who won the first place in previous years are the models you want to emulate today, sons and daughters." , once the horn of charge is sounded, charge forward bravely. Although the front is full of thorns and beasts, it also paves a bright road for you.

"The brave wins, the brave wins..."

The crowd seemed to be ignited and boiled up again. Chu Yuan glanced back at the servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and motioned him to go forward and explain the rules.

When King Yao took the drumsticks and struck the drum on the high platform, the sound of horns sounded again, and the crowd below divided into many queues in an orderly manner.

Flags with various words such as "Yong", "Xuan", "Zhou", "Zheng" and "Xing" were raised high, and the queues entered the paddock in an orderly manner. Among them, a team of hundreds of people in black and strong clothes, They stood neatly in front of the high platform.

Fang Ruxuan knew that these hundred people were going to follow King Yao and Chu Yuan into the paddock to hunt.

"Be careful, don't be brave..."

Even though she knew Chu Yuan's martial arts were close by, Fang Ruxuan still gave some advice, Chu Yuan nodded, and the shoulders were heavy, but it was King Yao who patted her. The father and son looked at each other and smiled, and stepped off the high platform one after the other.

Feeling fresh after all, Fang Ruxuan watched their team enter the paddock before turning around and calling for Kapok.

After asking her a few things about the Prince's Bieyuan, and knowing that everything was fine with her, Fang Ruxuan said with a relieved smile: "This time you go back to the palace, you can go back with me."

Mu Mian answered with a smile, turned around and snapped his fingers, and two servants led two horses.

These two horses were sent over from Chuyuan's Prince Bieyuan. The docile and well-behaved mares would not worry about hurting Fang Ruxuan if they were tampered with.

In the paddock, there are tents prepared for various aristocratic families such as King Yao and Chu Yuan to take a temporary rest. Fang Ruxuan also has one.

After sending Ding Xiang and the others to settle in the tent, Fang Ruxuan couldn't wait to follow Kapok into the paddock on horseback, and followed the guidance of the servant to a safe area without prey.

Although it is winter, the trees in the hunting ground still feel lush and lush, only the leaves are gray and not as green as in summer.

There are thick fallen leaves and pine needles under the feet, and the horse's hooves step on it, making a soft rustling sound, and the whole person relaxes with the sound.

Apart from Fang Ruxuan and Mu Mian, there are other female relatives in the woods, among them are several young ladies who are learning how to ride horses from their elder brothers or jockeys, and there is endless laughter and coquettish laughter.

Along the way, people kept stopping to greet Fang Ruxuan, making Fang Ruxuan feel that she was disturbing them.

Getting on the horse again, Fang Ruxuan glanced at Mu Mian, and the two rode the horse into the depths of the woods tacitly, until they found a quiet place where no one was there, and then let the horse walk idly. The rest of the day's respective income.

At noon, Fang Ruxuan and Kapok returned to the tent when they felt a little hungry.

After waiting for a while, I heard that Chu Yuan was back, so Fang Ruxuan got up and went to his place.

When I entered, I saw Chu Yuan's face was gloomy, but the moment he saw Fang Ruxuan, Chu Yuan glanced at Gu Dahai, then greeted him with a smile, "What did you do this morning? Do you feel bored?" ?”

Feeling a little strange in her heart, Fang Ruxuan was not in a hurry to ask, she smiled and talked about her stroll in the morning, and praised the horse that Chu Yuan had prepared for her without hesitation.

It was as if she had been following Fang Ruxuan all along. That horse was very intelligent. After running around, she was familiar with Fang Ruxuan's small movements of going forward, turning, turning around, and stopping. Big surprise.

"This is what I prepared for you, as long as you like it, it's not in vain that I spent thousands of dollars to find her."

Chu Yuan smiled and told Fang Ruxuan about the origin of the horse. Now Fang Ruxuan was even more surprised. She never thought that the brown-red mare that looked fat and ordinary turned out to be a rouge horse.

The rouge horse is a good steed for thousands of miles. It is really a waste for Fang Ruxuan to ride around the courtyard like this.

Chu Yuan comforted Fang Ruxuan with a smile, "She has more benefits than that, and you will know in the future."

After having lunch together and resting for a while, the sound of horns sounded again in the paddock, Chu Yuan got dressed and was ready to go out.

They were already out of the tent door, but they came back and told Fang Ruxuan, "The forest you went to in the morning is also a good place for a walk. If you want to go, just go there. No wild animals will be allowed there. If you can find some living creatures like golden pheasants and hares, you can ask Kapok to teach you how to shoot. In other places, it is better to be careful, but no matter where you go, you can’t let Kapok leave you one step.”

He explained so carefully, Fang Ruxuan naturally responded with a serious face, but when she walked into her tent, Fang Ruxuan still saw Chu Yuan's gloomy face when she first arrived.

We separated for only one noon, what happened?

 Dear ones, happy holidays, resume double updates from today~~~
