As the morning light dawned, the golden glow gently fell on the glazed tiles of the imperial palace, reflecting a dazzling glow.
The atmosphere in the Hall of Supreme Harmony was solemn and dignified. The ministers were dressed in gorgeous court robes, looked respectful, and lined up in neat rows.
Nangong Yan, the Prince of Zhennan, stood straight, exuding a calm temperament precipitated by years of experience on the battlefield, and stood quietly among the ministers.
"The Emperor has arrived—" As the eunuch's sharp voice sounded, the current emperor steadily stepped onto the dragon throne, his majestic eyes slowly swept over the crowd, and then raised his hand to signal: "My dear ministers, please stand."
The sound echoed in the empty palace.
The morning court proceeded in an orderly manner, with ministers coming out one by one to report on government affairs.
At this time, the minister in charge of royal affairs stepped forward respectfully, leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, the royal hunting grounds have been renovated, and the birds and beasts are breeding well. It is now a great time for hunting.
I suggest choosing an auspicious day for the royal family and ministers to go hunting, which can not only demonstrate the country's prestige, but also allow the family to relax. ”
The emperor nodded slightly, his eyes swept around the hall, and finally landed on Nangong Yan, and said with a smile: "Yan'er, you have been fond of riding and shooting since you were young, and you are very skilled, and now you are even more skilled in archery.
I heard that Xuan'er, Yi'er, Yu'er and Yao'er are lively and active in their daily lives. I think they will definitely like activities like hunting.
You will be responsible for organizing and arranging this royal hunting trip. You must ensure that everything goes well and everyone can return home with great fun. What do you think? ”
Nangong Yan hurriedly stepped out, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Your son obeys your command!
I will do my best and live up to my father's trust. ”
Afterwards, the emperor and his ministers discussed the details of the hunt, such as security and personnel arrangements.
Nangong Yan listened carefully, offered suggestions at the right time, and his views were unanimously recognized by everyone.
After the morning court session ended, Nangong Yan walked out of the palace. He felt particularly happy at the thought of going to the hunting ground with his family.
He walked out of the palace in a hurry, jumped on his horse neatly, and galloped towards the Zhennan Palace.
Back at the palace, the warm sun from the setting sun covered the entire courtyard.
As soon as Nangong Yan stepped into the yard, he saw the baby laughing and playing with Bai Linglong.
"Father!"
The sharp-eyed Nan Jinxuan was the first to notice it and shouted excitedly.
Hearing the sound, Nan Jinyi, Nan Jinyu and Nan Jinyao ran over like happy deer.
Nangong Yan smiled, squatted down, opened his arms, hugged the children tightly, kissed each of their pink cheeks, and said with a smile: "My dear babies, your father misses you!"
The children chirped in response: "Father, we miss you too!"
"Father, why are you back so late today?"
Your every word is lively.
Nangong Yan stood up, took the children's hands, and said excitedly: "My dears, I have good news for you. Tomorrow your father will take you out to play!"
"Wow!
I’m going out to play. I’m so happy! ”
The children jumped and danced with excitement, and their cheers echoed in the yard.
Nan Jinyi tilted his head up and asked expectantly, "Father, where are we going to play?"
Nangong Yan smiled mysteriously: "Tomorrow we will go to the Royal Hunting Ground to hunt!"
"Father, what kind of hunting?"
Nan Jinyu blinked her watery eyes and asked curiously.
Nangong Yan patiently explained: "Hunting means taking a bow and arrow, riding a horse, and going out into the wild to catch birds and beasts. This is an activity that tests your courage and ability!"
“Wow, that’s cool!
놖Go catch the little rabbit! ”
Nan Jinyao clapped her hands and called out in a baby voice.
Nan Jinxuan did not show weakness and puffed out his chest: "I will catch a wild boar and be as powerful as my father!"
Nan Jinyi's eyes sparkled, and he quickly said, "We need to catch a beautiful pheasant. Its feathers can definitely make a nice shuttlecock."
Nan Jinyu tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Then we should catch a little fox. I heard that little foxes are very smart."
Looking at the children's cheerful appearance, Nangong Yan and Bai Linglong smiled at each other with full of doting.
Nangong Yan then warned: "But my dears, when hunting, you must listen to your father and mother. You must not run around. If you encounter danger, you must hide behind us. Do you understand?"
"I know!"
The children answered in unison, their voices clear and loud, full of anticipation for tomorrow's hunt.
