Chapter 142 Autumn Hunting

The day of the autumn hunt is approaching, and the Prince's Palace is bustling with activity early in the morning.

"Li'er, go to the enclosure and all ten Shadow Guards will follow you."

"Everyone is following me, what are you going to do?"

"I don't need anyone to protect me, but I'm worried that you're in the enclosure and I can't always watch over you."

Yun Li blinked: "Don't worry, I will protect myself and my two children well."

"Um"

At this time, Cherry and Strawberry came in with trays.

"Princess, change your clothes!"

"Huh? Where did this riding uniform come from? Was it prepared by the palace?"

Yun Li looked at the red and white riding clothes on the tray and was surprised.

"This is the pattern that the prince drew himself a few days ago. He asked me to take it to Caizhi Pavilion and have it made for the princess overnight!"

When Yun Li heard that it was designed by Helian Chi, she couldn't wait to try it out. She had never worn such riding clothes before.

Different from the modern European retro riding clothes, this set of red and white is more eye-catching and the workmanship is also very exquisite.

After Cherry and Strawberry helped her change, she looked full of energy and spirit. Cherry also helped her comb all her hair up and tied it into a high ponytail. At this moment, she looked like a heroic female general who was about to go to the battlefield, majestic and awe-inspiring.

The size and fit of this dress seem to be tailor-made for her, making her look radiant, dazzling and charming!

She also stood in front of the dressing mirror and looked at herself. She really liked this dress.

Strawberry said with stars in her eyes: "The princess looks so beautiful in this dress! I'm sure the prince will like it too when he sees it later!"

"Hehe~ I like it too!"

In addition to the royal family, the participants in this hunt were also officials and young men and women from the capital. The scene was very grand. The convoy of carriages set out from the palace and stretched out along the way, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Because the hunt lasted twenty days and they had to set up camp in the mountains during this period, everyone brought a lot of things, and basically every family had two or three carriages.

The hunting grounds were not far from the capital, but on a mountain outside the capital. This mountain was called Lishan, which was a special mountain for the royal hunting grounds. There were no residents nearby. Every autumn when hunting began, the mountain would be closed in advance, and no outsiders were allowed to approach.

The guard work at the foot of the mountain was carried out by the army, and the outer guard was surrounded by the imperial guards. When entering the inner court, it was surrounded by the imperial guards again. It can be said that there were three layers inside and three layers outside, and the security was very strict.

The carriage traveled for most of the day and finally arrived at the foot of Lishan Mountain in the afternoon.

The whole Lishan Mountain is beautiful and magnificent. The vegetation on the mountain is lush and green. It is only in early autumn that the leaves are still dense. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, it is full of red and yellow military flags.

Everyone's carriages entered the paddock in an orderly manner, and the tents next to the paddock had already been set up.

The eunuchs and palace maids led everyone to the tents that had been arranged accordingly.

In the entire enclosure, the yellow main tent is the largest and in the middle. It is the emperor's tent. To the left is the empress's tent. Behind it are the tents of the concubines. Behind them are the tents of the daughters of the noble families.

To the right of the emperor are the tents of the princes and dukes, and behind him are the tents of the officials and dukes ranked according to their official rank.

Yunli's tent was placed behind the Queen, and behind her were the tents of the concubines. Except for the Emperor's tent which was yellow, all the others' tents were white. At first glance, they looked like yurts.

The afternoon is free time. You can pack up your belongings, rest in the tent, or go play in the woods with a few friends.

Yunli took the two children with her. When she arrived at the enclosure, she put the two babies into the space. Then she quickly took them out and spent some time with the two children.

She took out a tent and an inflatable bed from the space. These were prepared for Cherry and Strawberry. They could take turns to rest at night. The humidity in the mountains was too heavy, and she was afraid they would catch a cold.

At this time, Helian Chi walked into the tent and saw Yun Li teasing the two children on the bed, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Li'er, how's the placement going? Why did you bring them here?"

"Aiya...Aiya..." Xiao Bao drooled when he saw Helian Chi's excited face and danced with joy.

"I'm worried about leaving them at home! They'll be gone for twenty days! They're like my little pendants, I take them wherever I go!"

"I just thought that with so many people coming to the enclosure, I was worried that it would be difficult to look after them!"

Yun Li didn't care. "It's okay. When it's inconvenient to look after them, I put them in the space. I can also see what they look like in the space. Anyway, they are both very well-behaved! They are very familiar with the environment of the space and won't cry!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Li'er"

"It's not hard! My baby is very obedient and a worry-free baby! Don't you think I'm right, Xiaobao?"

Yunli said, pinching Xiaobao's chubby face.

"Ah...ah...ah..." Xiaobao grabbed Helian Chi's hand and played with it like a toy.

"Father just wanted to discuss something with us, so I came to see you!"

"Have you finished discussing this?"

"Okay! I'll take you out for dinner later."

"You came into my tent so openly, aren't you afraid of what others will say?"

"Let others say whatever they want. My wife and children are here. I am not afraid of any rumors!

Li'er, please set a wedding date quickly."

Yun Li nodded. Seeing that the two children were about to be one year old, if they didn't hold a wedding banquet, they would not be able to appear in front of people openly.

She herself is a modern person and doesn't think it matters, but the ancients didn't think so, so this matter must be dealt with quickly!

Yun Li asked Helian Chi, "What's there to eat outside?"

"It's the food prepared by the palace chef!"

"How about we have hot pot?"

Helian Chi nodded: "All right, I will listen to Li'er!"

After that, Yun Li waved his hand and took out a pot from the space, with all kinds of cut beef, mutton, vegetables and fruits.

Cherry and Strawberry went to the royal chef to ask for some firewood, and then the hot pot started to cook.

The hot red oil filled the pot, and Yun Li's mouth was watering at the smell.

Let Cherry and Strawberry sit down and eat together. The four of them were very satisfied with the meal. Helian Chi, who originally couldn't eat spicy food, gradually became able to eat some spicy food after being with Yun Li for a few months.

"Li'er, your hot pot is much more delicious than the one in Mankouxiang, Lanxi Country!"

"Of course! This hot pot base is very authentic! Before we left, I made some adjustments to Mankouxiang and left a room full of hot pot base at Mother's place. I think Mankouxiang's business will be even more prosperous!"

"Of course! You can't buy the things here anywhere else, and they can't even be imitated!"

Yun Li looked at the three of them and asked, "By the way, let me tell you something. I'm planning to open a Mankouxiang restaurant in the capital. What do you think?"
