The princess mansion was lively for several days because of the archery, and someone in the court finally mentioned Qiushou.

The emperor became old after being ill, and he couldn't recover his body in a short period of time. However, when the matter of Qiushou was mentioned, he still didn't even think about it. For many people, Qiushou It's not just a hunt.The emperor used it to select talents, generals also used it as a way of promotion, and many sons of aristocratic families used it as a shortcut to becoming an official.

Every year, the autumn hunting will touch many people's hearts, and this year will be no exception.It's just that the emperor has just been ill, the crown prince has been weak for the past few years, and most of the kings have lost more than half of them, and the direct line of the royal family suddenly appears to be much weaker.

This is not a good sign, so this year the emperor made a special decree, besides bringing all the princesses with him, he also specially selected a few grandchildren to go with him.For example, the eldest grandson of the East Palace would not miss it, and the sons of Wu Wangfu and Qi Wangfu also promised to go with him. Even the relegated King Chu seemed to be remembered by the emperor at this time, and specially recruited his eldest son to participate in the autumn hunting.

Not to mention anything else, the three palaces were overjoyed to receive the decree.Especially Wu Wangfu and Chu Wangfu, the former seems to see the hope of inheriting the Wangfu, and the latter even sees the possibility of returning to the title, and they are always admonishing their sons at home.

When Lu Qipei returned home, the mansion was full of talk about the autumn hunt.

"Your Majesty has set this year's autumn hunting in mid-September. At that time, the weather has already started to turn cold. The autumn hunting will not come back in a day. You have to prepare two thick clothes." Zhi Ting and Qi Yang said. Words, the face is full of joy about going out to play.

Qi Yang didn't care much about these mundane affairs, he waved his hands casually after hearing this: "Just look at the preparations."

After she finished speaking, she saw Lu Qipei at the door, and immediately greeted him happily: "A Pei, you are back. Come and see, what are you planning to take with you, Qiushou? And those good bows in the arsenal, you go Choose one, it will be easy to use when hunting in autumn."

Lu Qipei talked to her a few words, went behind the screen and changed into his normal clothes, and then accompanied Qi Yang to the arsenal for a while - the princess mansion is like the king's mansion, it has soldiers, so weapons and armor are also There are all of them.Although restricted by the imperial court, there are only a few hundred sets in quantity, but an arsenal was specially built to hold them.In addition, there is no other place in the arsenal, and it is pretended to be the owner's private possession.

Both Qi Yang and Lu Qipei are daughters' families, and they don't like to wield knives and guns, but they also have some collections of this kind.Among them, some good swords and bows were mostly given by the emperor or prince during the past three years.

The two randomly selected in the arsenal for a while, and then picked the bows that Qiushou was going to use.Lu Qipei walked around inside again, and finally came back with a pair of delicate sleeve crossbows, and gestured on Qi Yang's arm: "Take this too."

Qi Yang raised his eyebrows, but he didn't refuse. He casually pulled out a piece of soft armor and gestured at Lu Qipei: "Is Qiushou not peaceful?"

Lu Qipei looked at the soft armor and his eyes lit up. After taking it, he put his backhand on Qi Yang for comparison: "I don't know. But since King Wu's accident, the court has been calm for a long time. This autumn hunting, His Majesty not only brought The prince is going, and even the older grandsons are brought along. In case something happens to the hunting ground... Tsk, that's really a catch."

Qi Yang gave her a blank look when he heard the words, and seemed to be dissatisfied with her crow's mouth: "Father pays special attention this time, and entrusts the safety of the hunting ground to the emperor's brother. In addition, Qiushou will also bring five thousand feathers Going together, where can something happen so easily?"

Qi Yang believed that someone had secretly plotted against them, but she didn't believe that they were blatantly trying to wipe out their royal family.Do you really think the emperor and the prince are fools, or do you think the five thousand feathers are just a show?Now that King Wei is as obedient as a quail, King Qi and King Chu also have heirs accompanying him, and there is no third prince who committed chaos, how could such a bloody storm be caused in the hinterland of Liang State?

Unless Xie Yuan knows spells, he can send all Rong Guo's soldiers to the hunting ground with a wave of his hand!But is it possible?

Lu Qipei was not angry when he received the blank stare, he just smiled and said: "Just in case. Your Majesty and the prince are naturally on guard, but you and I should also be careful. No matter how bad it is, arrows are flying around in the hunting ground, and accidents will happen." There are always."

While speaking, Qi Yang held down her gesticulating hand holding the soft armor.The latter patted her hand away, snatched the soft armor back involuntarily, and glanced at her angrily by the way, obviously not intending to change his original intention.

Without saying anything more on this topic, Lu Qipei asked suddenly: "Lu Sheng has been arguing about learning archery recently, do you want to take her there this time?"

Qi Yang shook his head and refused without thinking: "No, I'm a little girl, the road has just stabilized, why take her there?"

Lu Qipei was not surprised at all, he just smiled: "Then remember to bring her a rabbit back."

The time has already entered September, and the time seems to pass faster and faster after the autumn hunting is set.But gradually, as the day of autumn hunting approached, the topics of discussion among the people in the court began to shift towards autumn hunting, but the atmosphere was still relaxed.

For civil servants, this is undoubtedly a drive-in trip. They don't care whether they can catch prey on the hunting ground, but just take it as a few more days to rest and go out to play.The generals are gearing up, just waiting for Qiushou to show his skills again, especially if there are children in the family who want to show their face, they are even more eager to try, only looking forward to the coming of Qiushou's day soon.

Finally, in the anticipation of everyone, the day of autumn hunting arrived.

Qiushou's hunting ground is located in Jiuyang Mountain, a hundred miles west of the capital, where the mountains are continuous and low, and the forest density is suitable.Every spring, the mother beasts on the mountain will give birth to a large number of cubs. After half a year of growth, they will grow fat and strong in autumn, and they will have fat for the winter. when.

The prey in this season are often fat and fat, but if you want to stand out in autumn hunting, you have to see the prey is precious.

Sitting on the carriage to Jiuyang Mountain.Lu Qipei looked at the golden autumn scenery outside the car window, and then at the endless line, and became a little interested, turned to Qi Yang and said, "How about I hunt a fox for you and make a scarf?"

It was too early to set off this morning, Qi Yang was a little sleepy, and after being jolted by the carriage for a while, he felt drowsy again.She closed her eyes and leaned on Lu Qipei's shoulder, and she didn't even open her eyes when she heard the words: "There are so many furs in the princess mansion, and I don't lack scarves. If Ah Pei really wants to help me, he might as well catch a few rabbits and bring them back. Dead rabbits are fine." Well, live rabbits are probably not easy to catch."

Of course, the purpose of catching the rabbit was to appease Lu Sheng. The little guy didn't know where he heard the news. He woke up earlier than Qi Yang this morning.When Her Royal Highness went out with a sleepy face, Xiao Tuanzi was already waiting at the door, clamoring to come with her.

Luckily, Lu Sheng is not of a troublesome nature, and she doesn't know how to cry and force her.So after the two refused, although she was disappointed, she still obediently stayed in the princess mansion.It's just that the well-behaved little appearance is really soft-hearted, so Qi Yang emphasized once again that he would bring the rabbit back for her, which made Xiaotuanzi laugh again.

But obviously, Her Royal Highness, who is now depressed, doesn't want to move, and wants to throw this troublesome matter to Lu Qipei by the way.

Seeing her talking with her eyes closed, Lu Qipei couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly and didn't refuse: "Okay, I'll grab whatever you want." After speaking, he helped Qi Yang from the She moved her shoulders away, and directly laid the person flat on her arms: "Okay, if you feel sleepy, go to sleep for a while, and you will have to walk all day on this road."

The journey of a hundred miles is actually not that far away, but at the speed of the emperor's driving, it really has to wait until evening to reach the hunting ground.It's okay on the road, what are you trying to do without sleeping?

Qi Yang only raised his eyelids when Lu Qipei lifted her up, and when he heard Lu Qipei's words in his arms, he just said "um", and soon fell asleep in the rickety carriage.

It's just that drowsiness, like yawning, is contagious.

Lu Qipei was originally very energetic, but looking at the unchanging autumn scenery outside the window, and looking at his sweetheart sleeping soundly in his arms, he gradually became a little sleepy.Her straight back was slightly tilted, she leaned against the wall of the carriage, and soon fell asleep holding Qi Yang.

The carriage was leisurely heading towards the hunting ground, and from time to time there were teenagers passing by with their horses and whips, full of excitement.

The two people in the carriage slept soundly, and almost slept through the whole morning after returning to the cage.Qi Yang didn't wake up until near noon, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Lu Qipei who was sleeping soundly with his head down and his arms around her.

Qi Yang blinked his sleepy eyes and woke up completely.She just woke up comfortably in Lu Qipei's arms, and didn't want to move. After a while, seeing that Lu Qipei still hadn't woken up, she pulled a strand of black hair and gently brushed it on her face.

Lu Qipei was woken up by Qi Yang, but unlike Qi Yang, she was not sleepy at first... Well, it was not sleepy before Qi Yang went to bed.Waking up at this moment also quickly regained consciousness.There was no haziness in her dark eyes, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Qi Yang's small movements that were too late to retract, and caught her squarely.

Qi Yang didn't panic, he even pinched his hair and brushed her face, then smiled and said: "Are you awake?"

Lu Qipei let out a "hmm", the voice did not seem to have clear eyes, but a hoarse voice after a deep sleep.There was only a soft reply, but the hoarse voice seemed to be inexplicably seductive, which made Qi Yang's heart skip a beat.

Fortunately, the sound of carriages and horses reminded the two of them where they were, so they just looked at each other for a moment.Then they quickly came to their senses, and Qi Yang also sat up from Lu Qipei's arms, and smoothed out his messy clothes and hair.

After this restful sleep, the sleepiness and fatigue caused by waking up early completely disappeared.

After eating at noon, Qi Yang regained his energy.She was a little bored after sitting in the carriage for a long time, and when she saw the young men outside riding their horses back and forth, she suddenly became interested and pulled Lu Qipei out of the carriage together.

When the two came to hunt, they brought a good horse, and after getting off the carriage, they changed horses to ride.

Only this time, in front of the court's civil and military officials, no matter how thick-skinned Qi Yang was, he was too embarrassed to ride with Lu Qipei.The two rode two horses respectively, but they walked side by side, and held hands as they walked, showing their love and intimacy.
