Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Chapter 144 Autumn Hunt

The palace came out of the haze of the late emperor's death. In the golden autumn of September in the second year of Tianyuan, Emperor Tianyuan ordered autumn hunting.This decree made the entire royal family and the court cheer, which meant that there was no need to go to court for three consecutive days, and those of some ranks could even take their families to hunt in the paddock with the emperor.If any son in the paddock performed very well and won the favor of the emperor, he might be able to rise to the top.Autumn hunting is not only a hunting, but also a big gathering of nobles.The national style of Daqi is open, not only men can go hunting, but women can also gallop in the paddock in a heroic manner.If the emperor takes a fancy to any girl, that family will flourish.Royal hunting has always been a good time for the emperor to accept his concubine.The late emperor had been in power for nearly thirty years, and there were no fewer than dozens of concubines at the autumn hunting festival, and no fewer than dozens of concubines who got lucky at the last minute.Mostly, the first emperor drank deer blood wine for strengthening yang, or tiger penis wine and deer penis wine as tribute, and it was not uncommon for the first emperor to imperial three women overnight.Today's enthronement is still short, there are not many concubines in the palace, and they are young and vigorous, probably even worse than the previous emperor.According to the imperial decree, the aristocratic family's dressing up as a daughter is even worse than the draft.

Zhao Xiyan ordered Qiushou only because he wanted to find a suitable excuse to be lazy, and it was really boring to read the memorial every day.Zhao Xiyan knew about the nasty things about Royal Qiushou, but it was only like this when the male emperor was in power, and he was the only female emperor in the ages.At the same time that Zhao Xiyan was being lazy, he was purging Qiushou's unhealthy tendencies.A good royal hunting has just become a bastard custom for nobles to pick up girls to do messy things without being responsible.He is a serious prince, he used to hunt with the late emperor every year, and at night the guards stopped the princes from approaching the late emperor's camp.Once it was a bright day, Zhao Xiyan, Thirteenth and Fourteenth just went to find their father to allow them to go to a farther place to play, and before they reached the tent, they heard the charming laughter of a few women.The guards stopped them, so Zhao Xiyan had no choice but to take his two younger brothers to ride a horse, but they ran into many noble children, no matter how old or young, there were men and women's voices everywhere, which was very annoying.After the autumn hunting is over, the good-looking ones may be brought back, and the unattractive ones will be discarded.In the past, it was not necessary to control, but now it is necessary.

Zhao Xiyan would bring all the concubines with him, and none of them were left behind.The main reason is that it would be miserable for these women to be disfavored in the palace, and it would be good to let them go out to reunite with their families while Qiushou is here.Yan Fengjun's fetal appearance was stable, originally the queen mother would not let her go together, but even Xia Guozhang said it was fine, so she could only let her go with her to relax.The two boys, Qi Rui and Qi Chen, were extremely excited. Wearing armor, riding a horse with a bow and archery, galloping in the paddock, this made the boys fascinated.Ulan Rongruo was even more happy. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had ridden a horse.Mobei is a nation that rides on horseback. Although Ulan Rongruo is not favored, he is also a princess after all, and he is very good at riding horses.Xia Shuning was also very excited, since she married Zhao Xiyan, it had been many years since she had been in Qiushou.Looking at the imperial concubine's soft and weak appearance, many people forgot that the head of Xia Yuan was originally the second son of the Xiahou Mansion, and the imperial concubine was also Miss Sun of the Hou Mansion.How could the descendants of the Junhou family not know how to ride horses and shoot arrows, how could they not know how to fight.Xia Shuning herself studied medicine under the tutelage of her father, and needed to go to the mountains to collect herbs, so it was impossible for her to be safe and sound without a little effort.Zhao Xiyan drew a pattern, and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a unique set of imperial concubine armor and bows and arrows. He even went to the stables to pick out a docile and beautiful horse, and presented it to Xia Shuning.Xia Shuning was so happy to receive such a beautiful and delicate armor, bow and arrow.The children clamored for it, but Zhao Xiyan was not willing to spend money to fight again.The queen was so jealous that she was going crazy, but not only did she not know how to ride a horse, nor did she know how to shoot a bow, let alone hunt, if she went there for no reason, Zhao Xiyan might feel that she was jealous.After going to Qiushou, she just followed to see it.Yan Fengjun is also jealous, but she has a big belly, walking around is fine, riding a horse and archery is absolutely impossible.Zhao Xiyan agreed to her, and after she gave birth to a child, she would draw tricks and make new ones for her, which made Yan Fengjun feel better.

After ten days of preparation, they set off in a mighty manner. Zhao Xiyan advocated diligence and thrift, canceled many cumbersome ceremonies, and even made detours so as not to disturb the people.The royal family didn't ride horses when they went out, they always sat in carriages, and didn't let the people look up at the sky, so Zhao Xiyan was lonely in the emperor's sedan chair.The other side of the paddock has been surrounded, the tents have been set up, and the guards have surrounded the paddock to death.It took half a day to get to the paddock. According to the tents according to their status, Xia Shuning was bigger than Su Qingshu, and the tent was the closest to the emperor's tent. I'm afraid it was someone from the Ministry of Rites who flattered her.The adults had to take a break after tossing for half a day, but these children seemed crazy, extremely excited, and their eyes were full of freshness.There was a banquet and celebration in the evening, Zhao Xiyan hugged Zhao Muning and started trotting on the grass, Zhao Muning giggled, this was something new that he had never experienced before, but his little hands tightly held onto Zhao Xiyan's wrist.Xia Shuning felt that her daughter was too young, and it would be bad if she caught a cold in the wind. She still held the restless Zhao Qichao in her arms and kept calling the father and daughter, who were immersed in joy, to stop quickly.Zhao Xiyan listened to Xia Shuning's persuasion very much, and immediately rode back with her daughter in his arms. The four of them were all smiling, with an irresistible warmth.This scene was witnessed by Ulan Rongruo, who also planned to come out to ride a horse. She had never received the slightest bit of fatherly love, let alone those rich and powerful who would love their wives and daughters.In Mobei, only boys can be treated like this by their fathers, and daughters are all contemptuous.Suddenly seeing Zhao Xiyan, who is the emperor, with his wife and daughter so warmly, some wished that she was Xia Shuning.

In the evening, it was the autumn hunting banquet, without the messy kneeling rules in the palace, eating and drinking began after sitting down.Zhao Xiyan couldn't drink alcohol, the cups were filled with fruit wine and flower wine brewed by Xia Shuning himself, all of which were brought from the palace.Pile up a bonfire, cook cattle and sheep, sing and dance, and those concubines and family daughters who are performing arts are constantly flirting, but the emperor can't get a second look.Those things boiled in big pots and baked in big ones were not to Zhao Xiyan's liking at all, not to mention that queens and imperial concubines used to eat delicate food.When Yan Fengjun smelled the mutton of these cattle and sheep, he was disgusted and went back early.Wu Qingyao and Ulan Rongruo were still at odds, and they performed dances one after another, winning applause from the whole house.Zhao Xiyan was also in high spirits, the dance was really wonderful, and as a reward, he personally cut beef and presented it to them.In order to stay awake, Zhao Xiyan drank less fruit wine, in order to clean up the autumn hunting atmosphere tonight, and see how many courageous noble family children he could catch.Some women in the big mansion could not bear to be lonely, and the children of the aristocratic families took advantage of this opportunity to make ends meet.Not only did he want to clean up the atmosphere, but he also wanted to turn the family into a mess.Aristocratic families have always been double-edged swords for the royal family. If the royal family handles it well, it is a sharp weapon. If it is not handled well, the family will be reunited as a rope, which can threaten the imperial power.Zhao Xiyan pretended to be overwhelmed with alcohol, and the banquet ended early.The ministers didn't dare to make trouble too late, after all, they had to hunt tomorrow, and it was heard that the emperor intends to take advantage of the autumn hunting to pick out his own guards, whoever has a son is eager to fight.

Sure enough, before midnight, the soldiers sent by Zhao Xiyan found many men and women in disheveled clothes who were doing such a mediocre thing.Zhao Xiyan didn't want to intervene in person, and he didn't intend to punish him heavily. After all, this fact was ugly and detrimental to his dignity. He just wanted to warn and clean up the atmosphere.Those men and women from aristocratic families failed to have an affair, and their adultery was broken, and the families of both parties knew about it, tearing their faces on the spot, which was very lively.On the second day, before announcing the start of the hunt, Zhao Xiyan specially emphasized that he hated people who started chaotically and ended up abandoning them, and even frightened the children of those aristocratic families with taints not to dare to abandon those women.Zhao Xiyan saw that some men's faces were colored, and he knew that last night was very exciting, and he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.These aristocratic families are tearing their skins apart, unable to form cliques, and they need the protection of the king, and they have become a mess.

Zhao Xiyan changed into a golden armor, wearing a helmet, so handsome that those concubines and family girls couldn't look away.Zhao Xiyan didn't look at anyone, but only looked at Xia Shuning. Xia Shuning was also wearing golden armor. The patterns on the armor, bow and arrow were all drawn by Zhao Xiyan himself, which was very different.Zhao Xiyan didn't even realize that Ulan Rongruo was also in the hunting team, and he was staring at him in an unremarkable white armor.With Zhao Xiyan's order, men and women, regardless of gender, drew their bows and galloped out on horses. The black iron ice sword for imperial reward was even more favored by the emperor.The prey in the paddock are not native, they are all selected and put into the paddock. This time only a white deer was released.Whoever can shoot it will get the Royal Reward Black Iron Ice Sword.Zhao Xiyan didn't really want to hunt, but just wanted to relax. He was afraid that Xia Shuning would be injured after riding a horse for a long time, so he followed closely.Xia Shuning did have a raw hand, she missed a shot repeatedly, and didn't even catch a rabbit.No, Xia Shuning aimed at a golden pheasant, and then missed it with his sword, so angry that he jumped off the horse and shot.Seeing her like this, Zhao Xiyan was as cute as when he was hunting with him when he was a teenager. Zhao Xiyan shot the golden pheasant with his sword before her.Xia Shuning didn't know that Zhao Xiyan was following her, and was just about to see that blind man who robbed her of her dick.Xia Shuning was raising her head, but met Zhao Xiyan who was riding a horse and looked at her with a smile.She was a little embarrassed, her husband-in-law saw her poor archery skills, so why would she call her Miss Hou Men.Zhao Xiyan rode his horse up to Xia Shuning, one of them got off the horse immediately, their eyes met each other with infinite affection.Suddenly Zhao Xiyan bent down, hugged Xia Shuning onto his horse, and rode with him.Xia Shuning was frightened again, she lost her center of gravity and was already in Zhao Xiyan's arms.Zhao Xiyan leaned into her ear and said something.

"My husband will take you on a horse hunt!"

"drive!"

Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning smiled knowingly, galloping quickly in the paddock, those soldiers who followed the emperor and imperial concubine hurriedly formed a team to follow, and naturally someone helped them collect the prey.Zhao Xiyan hasn't archery for a long time, and his archery and horse riding skills are not very good, but he went to Mobei to fight for several years, so it's okay.Zhao Xiyan led Xia Shuning to hunt all the way with a bow in hand, no matter what kind of prey they took, their laughter rippling in the woods.For some reason, Ulan Rongruo followed Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning all the way by accident, and forgot to hunt. She was envious and jealous, but couldn't move her eyes.Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning didn't shy away from anyone, envied and hated at will, and became a godly couple along the way.After hunting for half a day, he was a little tired. Zhao Xiyan took off the water bag and gave Xia Shuning some water before taking the water himself.A horse carried two people, walking slowly, listening to the wind and watching the leaves fall.Ulan Rongruo really envied Xia Shuning, she didn't dare to approach her, she brought someone along and just watched from a distance.Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning rode their horses to the small river, Zhao Xiyan hugged Xia Shuning off the horse, and walked slowly holding the horse and holding hands for two days, talking and laughing, even though there were a lot of court ladies, eunuchs and soldiers behind them.This autumn hunting is a hunting ground for everyone's pursuit of profit and fame, but it is their paradise.Naturally, Zhao Xiyan would not tell Ulan Rongruo that he did Qiushou for laziness.It wasn't until dusk that Zhao Xiyan rode back to the camp with Xia Shuning. The soldiers carrying the prey behind them brought a lot of messy prey, and inserted the arrows used by the emperor to make up the number.Zhao Xiyan never cared whether there were more or less prey, after all, he just wanted to have fun.

On the way back, Xia Shuning saw that she was about to reach a place with many people, so she hurriedly turned her head and kissed Zhao Xiyan, then turned around quickly.Xia Shuning's kiss was like a stone thrown into a quiet lake, Zhao Xiyan immediately burst into a smile, and tightened his embrace of his lovely wife.There are tens of thousands of women in this world who are better than Xia Shuning, more beautiful, more talented, and younger than her, everywhere.But there is no second woman who shared life and death like this, who loved him as a childhood sweetheart since childhood, and who gave so much for him.No one can understand what kind of existence Xia Shuning is in Zhao Xiyan's heart. He has already surpassed his parents and children, and also surpassed the world of Qi.If there was such a day, if someone asked him to go down and change Xia Shuning that day, he would definitely not blink.He has nothing else to ask for, only wishing that she and the children will live happily and in good health.Ulan Rongruo, who was following behind them, actually sprouted a seed in her heart at the moment when Zhao Xiyan smiled brightly just now.

Zhao Xiyan took Xia Shuning's hand and ran to the prey pile to find some good ones.Xia Shuning is lucky tonight, Zhao Xiyan wants to roll up his sleeves and roast prey for her.The first emperor of Daqi to cook is Tianyuan.
