Chapter 570: Definitely Win
Originally, the royal family was going to hold a winter hunt this month, but in order to save expenses, the winter hunt was cancelled. However, Xiao Jin said that he could take Su Ying to the hunting ground to play.
Su Ying had already changed into convenient riding clothes and left Fengluan Palace holding the hands of the two little kids.
After Xiao Jin had dealt with the affairs of the court in the morning, he went to the carriage and waited.
"Mother, are there still rabbits in the hunting ground now?"
"Yes, the archery teacher taught you archery. When the time comes, you can compete with your brother to see who catches more prey."
Erbao opened his eyes wide and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely win over my brother!"
Dabao glanced at her and said, "Who said they were tired after riding a horse for just two laps? It's a wonder you can win!"
Erbao was not convinced. She said that she was tired because she saw A Niang coming over. She said that on purpose because she wanted to act coquettishly with A Niang. She was very capable.
"Hmph, brother, just wait and cry after you lose!"
The two little guys chattered all the way in the car. Although the journey was long, it didn't seem boring.
"Your Majesty, Queen, we have arrived."
Xiao Jin got off the carriage first, helped Su Ying down, and then carried the two little ones out of the carriage.
Children love to play. Even though Dabao was a very well-behaved person in the palace, he could completely relax now that he was in a place with only four people.
"Your Majesty, the hunting ground has been almost cleared. Your Majesty and Your Majesty can go directly there."
Because there was a child with him, Xiao Jin asked the imperial guards guarding the hunting ground to drive the wild beasts to another forest to avoid scaring the child.
"kindness."
After arriving outside the hunting ground, the imperial guards came over leading four horses. Compared with the horses of Su Ying and his team, the horses of Dabao and his team looked much smaller, but their muscle texture was very clear, and they were obviously top-notch horses.
"Let's go up. It's still early. Let's catch more. We can take them to Uncle He to make barbecue tonight."
“Oh, I want barbecue!”
The two little guys were clamoring to have a competition. Su Ying felt it was not appropriate to let them be in the same place in the hunting ground, so she discussed with Xiao Jin that each of them would lead one to hunt in the hunting ground.
"Let's go. In an hour, whoever has the most prey will win."
Erbao raised his chin proudly, "Mine is definitely more than my brother's! Mother, let's go quickly."
"good."
Su Ying kicked her horse's belly and led her men and Erbao to the right side of the hunting ground.
Erbao looked around with her big, round eyes. Suddenly, she whispered excitedly, "Mom, look, there's a little rabbit in front."
Su Ying saw the rabbit just now, but she didn't say anything. She wanted to see if Erbao had seen it.
"The opportunity has come." Su Ying said softly.
Erbao carefully adjusted his position, took out his bow and arrow, and pulled the bow to its full length.
Looking from the side, Su Ying could see that Erbao was concentrating seriously. It was true that her little baby was really growing up.
With a light "swoosh" sound, the arrow shot out, but it missed the rabbit. The rabbit was frightened and ran away.
"Oops, I missed!" Erbao didn't want to let the rabbit run away like that, so he quickly tightened the reins and chased after it.
Su Ying followed her slowly and did not interfere with her hunting. Today she decided to use the fun of hunting to accompany her child.
Erbao chased for a while, but the rabbit still ran away. However, she was not depressed for too long, because she found a sika deer, "Aniang, aniang, aniang, look, look, look!"
Erbao was so excited that he was incoherent.
Su Ying made a gesture to silence her. "The sika deer is quite large. If your arrow cannot hit its vital part, it will probably run away. So when you aim at the target, shoot above its neck."
Erbao nodded in understanding, "I know, Mom." As she spoke, she slowly pulled the bow and arrow to its full length and aimed it at the deer's chest.
With a "swish" sound, the arrow flew out, but because the child's strength was not enough, the sika deer did not fall to the ground immediately after being hit by the arrow, but was frightened and ran away instinctively.
But before it could run too far, it was hit by another arrow.
The arrow hit the deer's heart directly. The deer's body stiffened for a moment and then fell to the ground.
Erbao's eyes widened in surprise and he rode his horse to the sika deer.
"Mother, it's dead." But she didn't shoot it. "Mother, the last arrow was not shot by me, so this one can't be considered as the prey I shot?"
Su Ying smiled and said, "Let's count it as half. After all, it was Ling'er who found it and shot the first arrow. Otherwise, it ran so fast, and I might not be able to shoot the second arrow."
When he heard that half of it was his, Erbao jumped up in surprise.
"Haha, that's great, mother. Let's continue looking for prey."
"kindness."
They plan to spend the night at the farm here while hunting today and go back early tomorrow morning.
Bai Shuang did not follow into the hunting ground, but went to the Royal Villa to prepare for accommodation.
"Uncle He, where are you going?" Bai Shuang had just arranged everything and came out to see He Shouyi walking towards her with a sickle in his hand.
"Oh, there are some good wild animals in this mountain. I plan to get some back."
Bai Shuang's affairs have been arranged. The emperor and his men will not be back for a while, so she wants to go to the back mountain with He Shouyi. She heard that there is a plum forest behind the villa with beautiful scenery. She wants to pick some plum blossoms for decoration.
"I'll go with Uncle He and pick plum blossoms."
"good."
Bai Shuang went into the house, took a pair of scissors and picked up a bamboo basket, then followed He Shouyi out of the back door of the villa.
The royal villa is looked after on a daily basis, and the snow on the path leading to the back mountain is cleared cleanly.
Not long after they walked, Bai Shuang saw the plum blossom forest ahead.
"Uncle He, can you go by yourself?"
He Shouyi smiled and said, "Look at what you said, little girl. Your uncle He has done this before. Merlin is just ahead. Go ahead and be careful. Pick the fruits and go back. Don't run around."
"knew."
After the two separated, Bai Shuang went to the plum blossom forest.
She looked at the plum blossoms in the plum forest and a smile appeared on her face. It was true that beautiful scenery made people happy.
Every plum blossom here was in full bloom. Bai Shuang was so distracted while looking at them that he didn't even notice when they were gone.
Seeing that the bamboo basket was almost full, Bai Shuang was about to go back when she saw a figure in the snow not far away.
She looked around and then she remembered that there was a mass grave outside the city. Could it be here?
