When Qi Yang, Lu Qipei and his party returned to the camp, it was only past noon.

It was quite early at this time, after all, there are many people who want to stand out in autumn hunting, and they are still hunting with all their heart in the forest hunting ground at this moment.Only some civil servants who didn't care about the result went into the hunting ground and shot two rabbits and pheasants just to join in the fun, and then came back before lunch.

Qi Yang's return was neither early nor late, he avoided the group of civil servants who came back before lunch, and was far ahead of the others.The return of a group of people seemed a bit maverick, which inadvertently attracted the attention of many people.Then when they saw the prey they were carrying on horseback—the tiger—many people were even more startled, their eyes widened.

When the emperor got the news and arrived, Qi Yang and the others were already surrounded by a group of feather forests.The young people didn't think too much, they pointed around the tiger, most of them were extremely excited, and even looked at Lu Qipei and others with envy.

However, the emperor and the few veteran officials who accompanied him obviously didn't think so.They were still drinking tea in the tent, but no one cared when they heard that Princess Qi Yang was back, at most, the emperor ordered someone to go and prepare meals for the princess first.It wasn't until later that they heard the report that the princess and the son-in-law had hunted back a big worm, that everyone changed their faces.

Seeing the arrival of the emperor and important ministers at this moment, the feather forest surrounding Qi Yang and the others immediately backed away, and they all bowed to salute.

Qi Yang, Lu Qipei and the others were also busy saluting to the emperor. Seeing this, the emperor stepped forward to help Qi Yang up, and asked, "I heard that you hunted big bugs, such beasts, where did the emperor get hurt?"

He asked eagerly, Qi Yang's heart warmed up, and he quickly replied: "Thank you for your concern, my son is fine."

While speaking, the emperor also looked Qi Yang up and down.Seeing that her body was clean and there was no abnormality, she breathed a sigh of relief.Turning to think of other people, she raised her hand to call for free, and her gaze fell on Lu Qipei and her eldest grandson beside her.

The emperor was a little surprised, let go of Qi Yang, and asked, "Why is Aqi with you?"

Hearing the words, the eldest grandson stepped forward to pay respects and explained: "Going back to the emperor's grandfather, it was my grandson who ran into a tiger in the forest. I didn't have enough attendants, so I had to retreat. Fortunately, I met my aunt on the way, and my aunt and uncle helped to get rid of the tiger. That's how it was saved. I was afraid that the hunting ground would be in danger again, so I followed my uncle and aunt back."

The emperor nodded after hearing this, and agreed very much: "You are very right. A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. Since the hunting ground is in such danger, it is really not suitable to stay for a long time." After he finished speaking, he said to Zhang Jian beside him: "Go and tell me Habayashi, let them call back everyone in the hunting ground."

Things still got serious, and the eldest grandson was a little uneasy.

Qi Yang was also afraid that the emperor would anger the prince, so he stepped forward and took his arm and said with a smile: "Father, my son has hunted a fierce tiger, and this autumn hunting will definitely win the first prize. I wonder what reward Father has prepared for this year?" After finishing speaking He sighed regretfully: "Earlier, Nanping Huangjie proposed a competition, but I was not interested at the time. If I knew it, I would have competed with them. I will definitely win this time."

The emperor's originally heavy heart was relieved a little by his daughter's gag, he nodded at her helplessly, and said with a smile: "You, I really don't know how to be afraid at all, but I was frightened by you."

Qi Yang blinked innocently, but still smiled: "What's so scary? The son-in-law and the attendants are very powerful, even Aqi shot the big bug with an arrow, it didn't even touch the corner of my son-in-law's skirt, son-in-law What is the minister afraid of?"

When the emperor heard that the son-in-law offered protection, he just took it for granted.But when Qi Yang talked about his eldest grandson Shehu, he showed two points of appreciation on his face.Looking back at his grandson who has grown into a half-year-old, he could vaguely see the shadow of the prince when he was young, so he felt more pity for him, patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Good boy, don't you know?" I feel that I have grown up to be able to take charge of the age."

The eldest grandson is a concubine, and the prince and concubine have a strong relationship, so his situation in the East Palace is not very good.Even the emperor with Ai Wu and Wu treated him normally, this was the first time he was praised by the emperor, and the young boy's eyes lit up immediately.

The emperor looked amused and patted his head again, but taught: "Ah Qi dared to shoot a tiger at his age, it is really courageous. But you are still young, and there are attendants by your side. From now on, let them do this kind of thing." Go, don't risk yourself."

The eldest grandson saluted respectfully, and the emperor changed hands and rewarded him with the dragon on his waist—in addition to really admiring the eldest grandson, the emperor's move was also intended to protect the East Palace.He rewarded the crown prince's eldest son first, which showed an attitude.Although there was a mistake in the hunting ground this time, anyone with a wink should understand and dare not bite the prince easily.

I don't know if the eldest grandson understands the deep meaning of this, but he is always happy to receive the emperor's reward, and put it away as a treasure.

However, Qi Yang understood the meaning of the emperor, and he completely let go of his slightly raised heart, and continued to hold the emperor's arm and act coquettishly: "Father is really biased, you just rewarded Ah Qi, what about the son and son-in-law? We are also moving." It's done!"

The emperor looked at his daughter amusedly, and exposed her, saying: "Didn't the emperor say that it was all done by the son-in-law and the servants, and that the tiger didn't even touch a corner of your skirt? Why are you here now to ask me for a reward?"

Having been exposed, Qi Yang turned his head away angrily, still acting like a little girl acting like a spoiled child.

The emperor hadn't seen her like this for a long time, and the smile in his eyes deepened.He responded with two "rewards" in his mouth, patted his daughter's arm, but walked towards the bloody tiger corpse.

Thinking of the bloody scene, Qi Yang subconsciously gave the emperor a hand.

The emperor seemed to understand her worry and couldn't help but smile, but he didn't stop walking.He is old, but the big and small things he has experienced in this life are far from what Qi Yang can compare, it is just a dead tiger, how can he be afraid?

Walking a few steps closer to the horse with the tiger on its back, the scene is really not good.The tiger was drenched in blood, and because it died not long ago, blood dripped down on the ground.Especially looking at the tiger head, both eyes were shot through, and it was even more terrifying to look at it hollowly. Most of the veterans who followed were civil servants.

The emperor looked around the tiger with great interest, and finally pointed to the tiger's eyes and said, "These two eyes were shot by the son-in-law, right? I heard that she is excellent in all six arts, and her shooting skills are also quite good."

Lu Qipei should be, without changing his face, but he was calm and calm that did not match her thin figure.

The emperor praised him a few more times, and then turned back. When he turned around, his eyes were heavy—unlike Qi Yang and the others who had never seen a real tiger, the emperor also hunted tigers when he was young, but this tiger was obviously bigger than the average tiger. The body is even bigger by three points!

Is it really just an accident or a coincidence that such a tiger escaped the guards and broke into the hunting ground? !

Don't look at Qi Yang pretending to be calm in front of the emperor, but in fact she was really a little surprised in today's scene.Even though she had prepared for the uneven hunting ground, at most she thought it was an assassin, but she didn't expect to face the colorful tiger.

Facing the fierce tiger, more than twenty people were entangled for a while, and many people were injured. If there were fewer people...

Qi Yang didn't dare to think deeply, and she didn't even dare to think about what would happen if the eldest grandson didn't meet them—the young boy died in the tiger's mouth, but the patrol arranged by the crown prince killed her parents and children.In private, it is almost self-evident what a blow this is to the prince who is a father.Yu Gong, if such a mistake occurs, the crown prince's prestige among the officials will inevitably suffer.

Fortunately, this round was hit by them, and nothing irreversible happened.

Qi Yang's fingertips were still a little cold, so Lu Qipei passed a cup of hot tea into her hand, and sat down next to her to comfort her: "It's okay, fortunately, I ran into it. Next time, I will remind His Highness to be more careful."

The warm heat penetrated through the teacup, warming Qi Yang's cold hands.She let out a long breath, took a sip from her teacup, and then said: "Defending against thieves for a thousand days is not a long-term strategy."

Lu Qipei laughed when he heard the words, and took a cup of hot tea to drink himself: "Does your Highness think that the crown prince will be someone who just sits and waits to die?"

This is naturally not the case, Qi Yang has a lot of trust in her emperor brother.However, it was too late for the prince to know the matter, and he might not be able to deal with it in a hurry.What's more, Xie Yuan is in Beirong, even if the prince wants to target this envoy, he will be powerless for a while.

No matter how you say this topic is heavy, in the end, for the sake of atmosphere, the two of them simply didn't mention it much.I just plan to wait for the prince to come back from the hunting ground, and then ask his opinion.

The emperor had already ordered the meal to be prepared, and after the two of them returned to the tent to wash and calm down, the palace servants brought the lunch as well.

The two used some casually, and then went out of the camp, and saw people coming back from the hunting ground one after another.

Most people's harvest was mediocre, including a few concubines of princesses who had vowed this morning, the prey on the attendants' saddles was limited at this moment.The princesses were very dissatisfied with the sudden recall, and obviously felt that the sudden edict had affected their performance.

Until they saw Qi Yang and Lu Qipei coming out of the tent...

Nanping has also returned, and her son-in-law is worthy of being a general. Even if he was recalled in advance, he still returned with a full reward.At this moment, she was a little proud of winning, and seeing Qi Yang who had returned early, she led her son-in-law and rode forward.She didn't say anything, just rode the horse and dangled in front of Qi Yang, so that she could see clearly the two beautiful fur foxes hanging behind her saddle, and the deer on the side of the son-in-law.

This time the hunting ground was cleaned up by the crown prince, and almost all beasts that could be called beasts were hunted and expelled in advance, so the firefox and the deer can be regarded as high-grade prey.In particular, Nanping's son-in-law is very good at archery. Both firefoxes have shooting eyes, the wounds are extremely small, and the fur is intact, which is even more rare.

Nanping proudly showed off, but the others did not step forward, but stood far away to watch the excitement.

Qi Yang raised his eyebrows, and before he could say anything, he saw a servant running over and asked in a moderate voice: "Your Highness, the other prey have been dealt with. It's that big worm, I don't know how to deal with it?"

The waiter came so coincidentally that Qi Yang subconsciously turned his head to look at Lu Qipei, who blinked at her slightly.

A smile suddenly appeared in Qi Yang's eyes, but he still pretended to be casual and said: "Let's handle it carefully, let's see if there is any suitable place to dedicate to His Majesty, and send the rest to the East Palace."

The attendant listened to the order, responded respectfully, and left calmly after completing the task.

Nanping and the others who stayed behind heard the conversation, but their eyes widened in disbelief.
