After Xiao Yanlin finished speaking, he turned over and dismounted.

Gu Baiyu looked at the ground under his feet and felt a little dizzy.

It was okay if I didn't pay attention at first, but now I see why the horse's back is so high!

However, before she could get scared, Xiao Yanlin had already reached out and hugged her down.

The secret guards behind him were also scattered in all directions, protecting him secretly.

Only then did Gu Baiyu remember that Lingyu was still on the carriage, "Oh, Lingyu didn't follow!"

Xiao Yanlin smiled: "It's okay, I've already ordered someone to send her out. It's just the two of us today, no one will disturb her."

When Xiao Yanlin said this, his tone was very relaxed. It seemed that he had had enough of having a superfluous person like Lingyu around him all the time.

The two of them walked forward. In front of them was the place where the royal game ranger lived.

Seeing someone coming, the junior officer on duty came over immediately and said, "The Marquis is in great spirits today. He is going to go hunting in the woods. Oh, and he even brought his newlywed lady with him!"

Xiao Yanlin nodded towards him.

"I'm taking my wife with me today. Please drive away the large beast so as not to scare her."

The junior official on duty chuckled: "I know, I'll do it now, but the Marquis is so brave, and with the Marquis here, that beast is no longer scary at all!"

After the official finished speaking, he turned his eyes and said: "Today is indeed a good day. Not only the Marquis is here, but the Second Prince also came not long ago. He is heading east. If the Marquis meets him, he can meet the Second Prince. The prince says hello."

What he was talking about was greeting the second prince, but now everyone knows that Xiao Yanlin and the second prince are at odds. He is trying to give Xiao Yanlin face by reminding him that there are people he doesn't like in the forest. If he doesn't want to be disturbed, Just don't go east.

Xiao Yanlin nodded towards him, accepted his friendship and said.

"I heard that Mr. Zhou likes to drink. I got some jars of good wine a few days ago. I will send someone to deliver it in a while."

The man chuckled: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."

After saying that, he first sent people to drive away the beasts, and then opened the door to let the two people in.

After entering the forest, Gu Baiyu felt strange everywhere she looked. She had never hunted before.

Prime Minister Gu had also won His Majesty's favor before and followed him on spring hunting trips, but she was still young at that time.

Mrs. Gu adhered to the principle that it is best for women to be raised at home and did not let her go with them. Now that she had this opportunity, she was eager to try it.

After a while, the officer on duty brought a long bow.

Gu Baiyu was surprised when he looked at the bow. It was such a heavy bow that it felt huge just by looking at it.

Xiao Yanlin took the bow and arrow into his hand, weighed it, and returned it to the man.

"Madam is here, change to something lighter."

The man was a little surprised, "But this is what you are used to, Mr. Hou..."

"Go get a lighter one."

The junior official took the order and left without asking any further questions.

Gu Baiyu felt a little embarrassed, "Just use whatever the Marquis is used to on weekdays. I'm just following along to join in the fun. If you ask me to draw a bow and shoot these prey, I can't do it either..."

At the stall where they were talking, someone had already brought a light and flexible bow. Xiao Yanlin took it in his hand and put Gu Baiyu on the horse, "No problem, I will teach you today."

The two galloped towards the woods on horseback.

There are many animals mixed in the royal hunting ground, including ferocious beasts and some harmless herbivores.

Gu Baiyu even saw a few fat and strong sika deer. They must have been fed on weekdays. People who saw them were not afraid and looked at Gu Baiyu with round eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Yanlin stopped his horse, raised his bow and arrow and pointed the camera at the Plum Blossom Road.

Gu Baiyu felt a little unbearable and tugged on his sleeves, "Look, this little deer is quite cute. He even stopped to look at me. Isn't it bad that we kill him?"

Xiao Yanlin found it interesting after hearing this, and laughed when he wanted to.

A dull laugh came from behind, and the vibration in his chest was transmitted to Gu Baiyu's back through the thin clothes. Gu Baiyu looked back: "Why are you laughing, Lord Marquis?"

"I don't think you're cute."

In the end, the sika deer was let go.

Just this time, Xiao Yanlin also understood that his little wife liked cute things.

Whether it is something for daily use or an animal in the forest, if it looks better, it will always receive preferential treatment from Madam.

So, I ignored the brightly colored birds and cute things like sika deer.

In the end, you can only hunt less cute looking animals.

After a while, the two of them got something.

The secret guards dragged the prey down. Gu Baiyu looked eager to try, so Xiao Yanlin put the bow in her hand and hugged her from behind.

At first, Gu Baiyu could focus on a hare not far away, but as Xiao Yanlin came closer and his breath lingered in her ears, her mind was suddenly disturbed, and her arrows lost their accuracy. Finally, When it shot out, it brushed against the side of the hare and fell to the ground. The rabbit was frightened and ran away with a squeak.

Gu Baiyu felt his face getting hot, "It's better for Mr. Hou to do it, I'm not good at this."

Xiao Yanlin retracted his bow: "Madam, did you think the hare was cute? That's why you let it run away?"

How could Gu Baiyu be willing to admit that his mind was taken away by Xiao Yanlin's sudden approach?

He shook his head and said, "No, it's because my skills are inferior to others."

Xiao Yanlin said: "The hares in this forest are the fattest. I will hunt a few more to make you a scarf in the winter."

Then Xiao Yanlin acted like a sharpshooter, his sword was flawless, and he hunted a dozen hares in a short time.

The most amazing thing is that the fur colors of the hares he chose are very similar, so the scarf he made will also look good.

Looking at the pile of hares, Gu Baiyu felt happy and pointed forward, "Let's go to the front and have a look!"

However, Gu Baiyu pointed a finger and only got into big trouble.

Her good mood came to an abrupt end when she met the second prince and his party.

"Hey, the Marquis is so excited. He won't be staying in the mansion for a few days to warm up under the red candle tent, and he brings his wife to this royal hunting ground?"

It is said that enemies are extremely jealous when they meet, and the second prince's words were also full of yin and yang.

When Gu Baiyu saw him, he felt that his good mood was ruined. Why didn't he feel the same?

What happened that day in the Hou Mansion made him a joke in the court. He became more and more angry when he thought about it when he went back. He even went to Wan Bin and asked her why she didn't tell him in advance that the emperor would go, but Wan Bin also had a look on her face. of grievance.

"Why don't you know that Mother Concubine wants to do everything for you? But recently, I don't know what the Queen is thinking. She has always been at odds with Concubine Zhou, but during this time they are trying to deal with me together. Concubine Mother is just a concubine. How can you have the ability to know where your father is going?"

The second prince had nowhere to vent his anger, and after two days of depression in the palace, he thought of coming to the royal hunting ground to relax. Unexpectedly, he met Xiao Yanlin and Gu Baiyu.

Seeing the prey they were carrying behind them, the second prince sneered, "Has the Marquis turned into a softie after leaving the battlefield? In this royal hunting ground, there are not only lions and tigers but also other beasts, and they only catch rabbits and bully them. Are you bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"

When Xiao Yanlin saw the second prince, he also felt that it was very unlucky. He had a calm personality and would not argue with others over words. He nodded slightly to the second prince, then turned around and wanted to leave.

However, the more this happened, the more the second prince felt like a fist had been punched into cotton. He felt uncomfortable in his heart and immediately shouted loudly from behind, "Wait a minute! It's a rare meeting. The Marquis just left like this. He came to the royal hunting ground without making any gestures." Gesture!”

Xiao Yanlin ignored him, but the second prince became more and more enthusiastic as he talked.

"I think others are right. The military achievements of the Marquis are only obtained for you by the tiger generals under your command. Why, you don't even dare to compete with me in hunting?"

Gu Baiyu was angry when he heard this.

She knew that Xiao Yanlin avoided the second prince's sharp remarks and just didn't want to spoil her interest, but how could she tolerate others talking about her husband like this?

She pulled Xiao Yanlin's sleeve, "Master Hou, don't let others look down upon you. Let's compete with him. Master Hou will not lose, right?"

Xiao Yanlin nodded: "Of course I won't lose if I lose. I'm just afraid that it will damage your nature, and I'm afraid that the beast will scare you."

Gu Baiyu leaned back, her back pressed against the man's solid chest, "I'm not afraid. With Lord Marquis protecting me, what if a wild beast appears?"

Xiao Yanlin smiled heartily: "Okay, since Madam has spoken, let's compete with him!"
