The next day, just as the sky was beginning to turn pale, the quiet capital was still asleep, but the imperial palace was already bustling.
The palace maids and eunuchs walked hurriedly, with the sounds of objects colliding and conversations interweaving as they made final preparations for the royal hunt.
The Royal Hunting Ground, located outside the capital, was a place where the royal family displayed their riding and archery skills and demonstrated their majesty.
There are many birds and beasts here. Every few years, the royal family will organize large-scale hunting, and the emperor, empress, princes, princesses, dukes and ministers will all participate.
This time, the emperor personally appointed Nangong Yan, the Prince of Zhennan, to be in charge of the organization, making this hunt highly anticipated.
Nangong Yan, Bai Linglong and the four children got up before dawn.
Dabao Nan Jinxuan, 괗bao Nan Jinyi, 꺘bao Nan Jinyu and Sibao Nan Jinyao were as excited as happy little birds.
Running around the room, discussing today's hunt animatedly.
Bai Linglong looked at the children with a smile while packing her travel belongings in an orderly manner. In addition to the children's favorite snacks and fruits, she also took out some Happy Fatty Water from the space.
Elsewhere in the palace, Crown Prince Nan Jinze and his princes and princesses were also busy.
As the crown prince, Nangong Ye has always been calm and composed, but he can't hide his excitement when he thinks about going to the hunting ground to show off his skills.
Princess Nangong Ling was lively and cheerful. She took the palace maid to choose riding clothes early in the morning, muttering: "I must shoot a deer this time to show everyone my achievements!"
The sun rose, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on the glazed tiles of the imperial palace. The hunting team set out from the palace in a mighty manner.
The Royal Guards, dressed in bright armor and riding tall horses, walked in the front in a majestic manner.
Next came the emperor and empress's magnificent carriage, pulled by four white horses. The curtains moved slightly, revealing the dignified figures of the emperor and empress.
Nangong Yan and Bai Linglong, along with their four babies, sat in a spacious and comfortable carriage with the emperor and the empress. The carriage was furnished with soft cushions and exquisite pillows.
As soon as she got in the car, Bai Linglong took out a wide variety of snacks, fresh fruits and Happy Fat House Water from the exquisite box like a magician.
"Wow, mother, you brought so many delicious foods!"
Nan Jinyao’s eyes widened and she shouted excitedly.
Nan Jinxuan quickly reached out to take the cake, took a bite, and said with satisfaction: "It's so delicious, the cake made by my mother is the most delicious in the world!"
Seeing the happy faces of the children, Nangong Yan and Bai Linglong smiled at each other. The carriage was filled with a warm and joyful atmosphere. Their laughter and joy spread through the curtains, attracting the attention of the guards and palace maids around them.
Crown Prince Nangong Ye, riding a vigorous black horse, followed beside the emperor's carriage, listening to the laughter in his father's carriage, and was very curious.
Look at Princess 누 Zhennan, she took out the drink called Happy Fat House Water and poured it for her father and mother. The transparent liquid with bubbles and a unique aroma surprised 놛 greatly, as she had never seen such a drink before.
Princess Nangong Ling also followed on horseback, attracted by the lively scene. She looked at the rich food in the carriage with envy: "The emperor's sister-in-law is really good at preparing food. These foods look so tempting."
Bai Linglong was thoughtful and noticed the envious looks from the Crown Prince and other princes and princesses, so she said to Nangong Yan, "Everyone seems very interested. Send them some food as well."
Nangong Yan nodded in agreement.
Bai Linglong called the guards over and selected small cakes, sealed chicken legs, duck legs, gnawed chicken feet and a few bottles of happy fat house water, and gave them to the prince and other princes and princesses respectively.
The delicious food was delivered to everyone, and everyone's face was filled with surprise.
The team paused for a rest.
The prince took the Happy Fat House Water, looked at it curiously, gently unscrewed the cap, and the fragrance filled his nose.
I took a sip carefully, and the bubbles burst in my mouth. The unique sweetness and stimulation made me widen my eyes: "What kind of drink is this? It's so wonderful!"
Princess Nangong Ling took the small cake and took a bite. The soft and sweet taste made her exclaim: "It's delicious, sister-in-law, I have never eaten such delicious snacks."
The fifth prince Nangong Yi took the sealed chicken leg and opened the package. The fragrance filled the air and he couldn't wait to take a bite. The tender and juicy chicken made him nod repeatedly: "This chicken leg is so fragrant, it can't compare to what I ate before!"
The fourth prince, Nangong Hua, took the spicy chicken feet, hesitated for a moment and took a bite, and the spicy taste instantly burst out in his mouth.
It was so spicy that he kept inhaling, hissing in his mouth, but he couldn't bear to put it down. He drank the happy fat house water while mumbling, "It's so satisfying, so delicious!
The Emperor's sister-in-law's food is really magical. This is the first time I have tasted it. ”
Seeing that everyone was enjoying the meal, Bai Linglong said with a smile: "If you like it, we will serve you enough.
I hope to add some fun to everyone's journey. ”
Everyone expressed their gratitude, and the originally serious royal team was now filled with a relaxed and happy atmosphere. Everyone tasted the food and exchanged their feelings, and laughter echoed in the team.
In a joyful atmosphere, the hunting team began to move forward.
As we got closer to the hunting grounds, the air was filled with excitement and anticipation.
The children's eyes sparkled with curiosity and they kept asking Nangong Yan questions about hunting.
"Father, are we really going to catch little rabbits in the hunting grounds?"
Nan Jinyu asked, blinking her big eyes.
Nangong Yan smiled and touched her head: "Of course, as long as you are brave and careful, you will definitely gain something.
But when hunting, you must listen to your father and mother and not run around. ”
"We know!"
The four children answered in unison, their voices firm.
Bai Linglong looked at the children, their innocent and lovely appearance, and her heart was filled with happiness.
She hugged the children gently and said, "When we get to the hunting ground later, let's watch how others hunt first, learn some techniques, and then try it yourself.
Don't worry, safety first. ”
"good!"
The children agreed happily and were looking forward to the upcoming hunt.
At this time, the emperor and the empress were sitting on the other side of the carriage, looking at the warm and lively scene, and smiled with relief.
The emperor said with emotion: "Yan'er's family is so harmonious and happy. Seeing the children so happy, I feel a lot younger."
The queen smiled and nodded: "Ah, Linglong is a kind-hearted and skillful child, and she takes good care of the family and children.
This hunt will definitely be more fun with our family. ”
The hunting ground finally appeared before everyone's eyes.
In the distance, there are continuous mountains covered with dense forests, and the sounds of animals can be heard faintly.
Entering the hunting ground, the personnel in charge of management and security lined up neatly to welcome the royal family.
The hunting team slowly entered and the venue suddenly became lively.
When the horn sounded, the Royal Guards quickly dispersed and formed a tight defense line around to ensure the safety of the hunt.
Nangong Yan and Bai Linglong got out of the car with the children and saw the princes and princesses around them eagerly preparing for hunting.
Prince Nangong Ye picked up the bow and arrow, eager to try;
Princess Nangong Ling excitedly pulled her mount and urged the guards to get ready quickly.
Nangong Yan called the four children to his side and told them: "My dears, let's go to the hunting ground.
Remember, stay safe and don't stray too far from us.
Don't panic if you see a dangerous animal, return to your father immediately. ”
"I know!"
The children responded loudly.
Bai Linglong sorted out the children's clothes and equipment and said gently, "If you get tired or don't want to hunt, come back to find mother. Mother is waiting for you here."
The children nodded and walked towards the depths of the hunting ground under the leadership of Nangong Yan.
Along the way, we saw colorful wild flowers, flying butterflies and various small animals, our eyes were full of curiosity and surprise, and we exclaimed in amazement.
The hunting ceremony began, and Nangong Yan brought the children to the open grassland where animals often appeared.
놛 skillfully nocked the arrow, aimed at the grazing deer, and with a "whoosh", the arrow hit the target.
"Wow, father is so awesome!"
The children cheered excitedly.
Nan Jinxuan picked up the small bow and arrow and imitated Nangong Yan's aim at the little rabbit.
Although he is cautious, he is serious and focused, with his eyes fixed on the goal.
Under Nangong Yan's guidance, he released the bowstring. Although the arrow missed the target, it scared the rabbit away.
"It's okay, Xuan'er, it's great for the first time."
Nangong Yan encouraged, "Hunting requires patience and skill, you will definitely succeed with more practice."
Nan Jinyi was interested in catching flying birds. He ran on the grass with a small net bag, trying to catch the flying birds.
놛Failed again and again, but never tired of it, and always had a smile on his face.
Nan Jinyu carefully observed the traces of various animals on the side, relying on his keen observation.
She always discovered the small animals hidden in the grass or woods in advance, and then quietly pointed them out to the people around her. Everyone praised her "eagle eyes and golden pupils".
Nan Jinyao was looking around for cute little animals, and suddenly, a wounded little fox appeared in front of her.
There was fear and helplessness in the little fox's eyes. Nan Jinyao felt very distressed. She slowly approached it and whispered some comforting words.
Miraculously, the little fox seemed to understand and stopped struggling.
Nan Jinyao found that she understood the little fox's thoughts and knew that it had been hurt by a trap set by someone.
She gently stroked the little fox and used her innate animal training to heal its wounds.
Under Nan Jinyao's careful care, the little fox's injuries gradually improved. It rubbed her hand affectionately and stayed by her side from then on.
Nangong Yan and Bai Linglong were surprised when they saw this scene. They didn't expect Nan Jinyao to have such a special personality.
Nangong Yan said in surprise: "Yao'er, you are really amazing. You actually communicated with the little fox and tamed it!"
Bai Linglong also smiled and said: "Our Yao'er has this special collar. She will definitely become good friends with more small animals in the future."
The other princes and princesses also showed their skills in hunting.
The Crown Prince Nangong Ye was an excellent archer and shot several hares and pheasants in succession;
Princess Nangong Ling caught a beautiful pheasant and was very happy.
Time passed, the sun rose higher, and the hunt drew to a close.
Everyone returned to the gathering point with their spoils and showed each other their achievements.
The Nangong Yan family had a fruitful harvest. Not only did they catch hares, pheasants and wild boars, but the children also experienced the fun and challenge of hunting. Nan Jinyao also had a little friend, the little fox.
Bai Linglong prepared snacks and water for the children so that they could replenish their bodies while resting.
The children gathered around her and shared interesting hunting stories.
"Mother, I saw a lot of beautiful butterflies today, and there was also a little squirrel. It was so cute!"
Nan Jinyao said excitedly, holding the little fox in her arms.
Nan Jinyu continued, "I also saw a little deer running so fast, and father shot it in one shot. Father is so powerful!
And I found that it was difficult to find a hare hiding in the grass, but fortunately I looked carefully. ”
Nan Jinyi also rushed to say: "I kept chasing the bird. Although I didn't catch it, it was fun.
I feel like I'm running faster and faster, maybe I can catch up with them later! ”
Nan Jinxuan said with some regret: "I didn't shoot the rabbit, but I will continue to practice archery, and I will definitely succeed next time!"
Seeing the happy faces of the children, Bai Linglong said with a smile: "Everyone performed very well today. Not only did they experience the fun of hunting, but they also learned a lot.
Let's go out and play together later, okay? ”
"good!"
The children cheered in unison, the sound echoing throughout the hunt.
