The sun and the moon rotate, time flies by like a white horse, and summer goes to autumn in a blink of an eye.

The sky is high and the clouds are calm, neither hot nor cold. It is the most comfortable season in the capital, and even the mood of the people is much brighter.

Xiao Lin really went back and had a heart-to-heart talk with Xiao Mo and He Wenjun respectively, confirming their intentions.

Although Xiao Mo didn't have much admiration for He Wenjun, she did have a good impression of this big cousin.And He Wenjun cherished Xiao Mo more than Bai Chen imagined. He promised that Xiao Lin would only have Xiao Mo as his wife in this life, and he would spoil her and love her, and would never take concubines.

The Prince's Mansion and the Bo's Mansion have formally agreed on their marriage and engagement, and the two young people will officially get married when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming in the coming year.

Except for the two families who are happy to see this marriage, the Queen Mother is the happiest.Both Xiao Mo and He Wenjun are grandchildren that she loves very much, especially Xiao Mo, who is the one that hurts her most. After learning that the two children have finalized their marriage, the queen mother is so happy that everyone is a few years younger. Xiao Mo was rewarded with a pair of jade bracelets that she treasured.

The Empress Dowager was happy, and his filial son Dehui Emperor was naturally also happy. In addition, his body was much more refreshed. Taking advantage of the fine weather in the golden autumn, he decided to conduct a small hunting in the royal paddock on the outskirts of Beijing, and let the young people learn how to ride. , By the way, he also went out to get some air.

After Qingtian supervised the day, the hunt was set on the first day of September.

The weather was fine today, with no wind or rain.

The royal paddock is far away from the capital, and it was time to set off before dawn. Before Bai Chen could even exercise, he was pulled into the carriage by Xiao Lin.They had to get there before Emperor Dehui arrived.

In this round of hunting, only a few of the invitees were court officials, most of them were royal family and nobles, and most of them were young people.

A low-ranking official like Bai Chen was not included in the invitation list. He and Xiao Lin are no longer husband and wife. According to the relationship of the Marquis Mansion, they are only bastard sons. It stands to reason that they cannot attend such royal events.

So when he learned that he was also going to participate in the hunting, he was very surprised.

"You really didn't ask the emperor to let me participate?" Bai Chen was wearing a Hu suit that was easy to ride and shoot, and black boots, looking neat and handsome.

Seeing Bai Chen's pair of watery and affectionate peach blossom eyes, Xiao Lin couldn't help touching his face.

"Of course not." Xiao Lin said, "You will be unhappy if you do this kind of thing."

……

This guy understood him more and more, Bai Chen expressed his satisfaction.

"Then why did you ask me to participate?" Bai Chen was puzzled, "No matter how you think about it, it doesn't quite follow the rules."

"Who can guess what the Holy One is thinking?" Xiao Lin patted his hand and coaxed, "Maybe it's his intention, maybe it's the empress dowager's intention. Don't think too much, just go and have fun."

Bai Chen was amused by the presence of his old god, "Playing? Do you think it's just the two of us?"

"The hunt in midwinter is a formal national event. This time, the emperor took us out to play." Xiao Lin said, "Although it's not just you and me, it's as if those people are not there, not to mention their riding and archery skills." , don’t mention it.”

Bai Chen: ...

My son, why are you such a dick.

The carriage ran fast, and when Bai Chen and the two arrived at the royal enclosure, it was just when the sun broke through the clouds and slowly rose.

As soon as he got out of the car, Bai Chen was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The morning glow covers the land, and among the undulating mountains, there is a lush green grassland with lush green grass. There are cattle and sheep grazing leisurely on the grassland, and the golden light covers the cattle and sheep with brilliant colors.

At the end of the grassland is a dense forest, lush and green.

Some palace people have already surrounded a part of the grassland and the woods, and built a golden tent in the middle. They must be hunting there today. The tent is a place for Emperor Dehui and his courtiers to rest.

Bai Chen looked away, only to realize that there were already quite a few people here, and after a rough look, there were quite a few acquaintances.

Except for the power ministers Liu Xiang and Jiang Shangshu, the rest are young people.

There were the sons of Prince Xuan who saw Bai Chen detour after being beaten up by Xiao Lin last time, and Bai Anbang, the eldest son of the Hou family, Bai Chen's cheap elder brother, He Wenjun and He Wenguang of the uncle's mansion, and the Jiang family brothers.

After some tedious salutations and greetings, Bai Chen and Xiao Lin naturally stood together with the two Jiang brothers and chatted.

"It is said that He Wenguang's head is not fully healed yet, so here it comes." Jiang Haoran touched Bai Chen, "Maybe it's because he has a heart for you."

Xiao Lin knocked off Jiang Haoran's paw, "Speak well, don't move."

Jiang Haoran glared at him: "Stingy."

Bai Chen was speechless, and glanced at He Wenguang who was standing next to He Wenjun with a pale face. He Wenguang happened to be looking at him too, his eyes were blurred and sad, which made Bai Chen get goosebumps all over his body, and hurriedly turned his head, "Nonsense, he just likes to join in the fun That's all."

Jiang Haochen said suddenly: "Master, why don't you hunt a roe deer today, I heard it's delicious roasted."

"Why did you let him hunt?" Jiang Haoran pinched his younger brother's ear, "Don't you know that you let me hunt?"

Jiang Haochen looked innocent: "But you only hunted one rabbit last time."

"Shut up!" Jiang Haoran yelled angrily, "I just know how to eat it. You are not allowed to eat any kind of roe deer."

"Okay, I'll share one with you when the wild goose is hunted." Seeing Jiang Haoran blowing his beard and staring in anger, Xiao Lin happily agreed.

Jiang Haochen's eyes were shining brightly, he could see his brother's murderous gaze, and then lowered his head again.

Bai Chen found it funny, two men in their 20s, how could they be so childish?

It seems that Jiang Haoran not only can't beat Xiao Lin, but he is also inferior to him in riding and shooting. He is crushed everywhere, no wonder he likes to blow his hair.

……

While a few people were joking around, someone said: "The emperor is here."

Everyone stopped chatting, and consciously stood in two rows according to rank and status, waiting for Emperor Dehui to drive.

The luxurious and solemn emperor's chariot slowly approached, and everyone knelt down to greet him.

Emperor Dehui stepped out of the car with an extraordinary bearing and a hale and hearty spirit.

Then the prince also got out of the car, and he actually sat in the imperial chariot with Emperor Dehui.

But the Fifth Prince was in another carriage, not accompanying Emperor De Hui.From this detail, it can be seen that the prince has become more and more favored recently, while the fifth prince has been alienated.

Bai Chen hadn't seen the fifth prince for several months, but this time he was shocked when he saw the fifth prince. The fifth prince seemed to be quite different from what he remembered.Not to mention she lost a lot of weight, her cheeks were sunken, her face was a little pale, her eyes were even a little dim, and she was no longer as handsome as before.

Without the irascibility of the past, he also lost the corresponding domineering, a little sluggish.

Judging from his appearance, it does look a bit like excessive indulgence and empty body.

……

Liu Rufeng also came.

Wearing the light golden robe representing the princess, he looked even more handsome.

Bai Chen thought that it was inconvenient for the real crown princess to attend because it was a woman, so it was also interesting that Liu Rufeng appeared here in a grand manner.

Not to mention the cumbersome etiquette, Emperor Dehui brought everyone to the paddock.

Emperor Dehui's health has not yet recovered, so it is not suitable for him to participate in such strenuous activities, but it does not delay his great interest in watching.

In order to increase the fun and competitiveness of hunting, he specially set up a competition.

The rules are very simple and crude: within an hour, the top three who hunt the most prey are the winners.

——But it is not allowed to snatch other people's prey, and offenders will be disqualified from the competition.

The prizes are also divided into three classes, and the winner will receive a portable sword from Emperor Dehui.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively, and all the young people were eager to try, including the prince and fifth prince.

Bai Chen glanced at Xiao Lin silently, and told him with his eyes: It seems that our plan to play has failed.

He hoped that Xiao Lin would get No.1, which represented the highest honor and a symbol of strength.

Xiao Lin gave him a calm look of "I can win even if I play with you".

Bai Chen: ...

Well, his boyfriend is even cuter than he thought.

A rare item boyfriend that is not found in modern times, I did not expect to wear it here but have it.

Life is so mysterious.

……

The paddock prepared bows and arrows and horses for everyone, but many people still brought their own bows and arrows.

Xiao Lin was even more powerful, he didn't bring anything with him.He was very casual, holding a bow and arrow from the paddock, carrying a quiver on his back, and let Bai Chen sit in front of him.

After getting on the horse, Bai Chen was stunned: "The two of us ride the same horse?"

"Of course." Xiao Lin said, "I'll take you hunting, and after the game, you can ride a horse alone, and I'll teach you."

"Won't this affect your hunting?" Although it was cool for two people to ride the same horse, and there was a vague feeling of romance when they galloped, Bai Chen was still a little worried, "Because it wouldn't be worthwhile to lose."

"Trust me." Xiao Lin whispered in Bai Chen's ear, "I will win."

Bai Chen: ...

This breath made his whole body go limp, and the bases of his ears were a little hot.

Well, just take him at his word.

The intimacy of the two of them naturally attracted attention, but everyone knew that the two had an unforgettable old relationship, so it was no surprise.Even He Wenguang knew that his life was hopeless, so he withdrew his reluctant gaze.

Except for the concubine Liu Rufeng, the frail Jiang Haochen and the injured He Wenguang, all the other young men participated in the competition.

After all the young talents prepared, Emperor Dehui announced the official start of the hunt.

Xiao Lin held the rein in his hands, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and moved slowly, but the shiny bay red horse under him was very excited as if he could understand his heart, raised his head and neighed, and hooved all fours, Run towards the distant woods.

The author has something to say:

Bai Chen: Get lost.
