Prince of Tang Dynasty

Hunting was the most important and one of the most common important activities in the Tang Dynasty.Hunting, especially among royalty and nobles, was very popular.It can be said that there are no children of the royal family or nobles who can't hunt, and it doesn't matter whether they are men, women or children.Moreover, hunting is a skill that noble children must learn, just like playing polo.If you don't know how to hunt on horseback, you will be laughed at to death.

The annual royal hunting event, one can imagine how lively and grand it is.

At this time, all the people who participated in the autumn hunting had arrived in Lishan.However, due to camping in the paddock, the official hunting will be the next day.

As soon as Li Yu arrived at Mount Li, he was taken to a hot spring by Li Shimin.He was not in good health, so Li Shimin wanted him to soak in hot springs more, after all hot springs are good for his health, but the imperial physician said that Li Yu's body is weak, so it is not suitable for frequent hot springs, and it is okay to take a hot spring once in a while.

Li Shimin specially built a Tangquan Palace in Lishan, which was called "Huaqing Pool" in later generations.Comrade Li Er likes to soak in hot springs in winter very much, and has written some poems about hot springs.

Li Yu and Li Zhi followed Li Shimin to soak in the hot spring, but within a short time, Li Yu couldn't take it anymore and almost passed out.

Li Shimin saw that his youngest son couldn't even soak in the hot spring, so he was even more worried about his youngest son's health.

Li Zhi was much better than Li Yu, and nothing happened after soaking for a long time.Since running every morning, drinking milk, and having his master teach him martial arts, his body is getting stronger every day.

During this period of time, he has been exercising and learning martial arts every day, and he has grown a lot taller.Originally, he was two or three centimeters taller than Li Yu, but now he is half a head taller than Li Yu.

Li Yu saw that Li Zhi had grown taller, but his height didn't change at all.Even Li Mingda has grown taller, he is now the shortest of them, which makes him very depressed.

After lying down for a while and eating some fruits, Li Yu finally recovered.

"Ugh……"

Hearing Li Yu's long sigh, Li Zhi asked with concern: "Little Yu'er, what's wrong with you, are you still feeling well?"

"Ninth brother, my heart hurts." Li Yu clutched his chest, with a sad expression on his face, and a very pitiful tone, "I can't take a hot spring!" Hot springs are so good, he can't take a bath, really It's such a pity.

When Li Zhi heard that Li Yu was sad because he couldn't take a hot spring, he heaved a sigh of relief, and then comforted him softly, "You will definitely be able to take a hot spring in the future."

"Ninth brother, will you participate in tomorrow's hunt?" Li Yu really wanted to participate in tomorrow's hunt, but his frail body did not allow him to participate.Therefore, he can only be a spectator tomorrow.

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Well, I want to participate." Although Li Zhi usually looks polite, he is from the Li family and likes hunting. "Little Yu'er, let me kill some foxes for you."

"Fox, what do I want a fox for?" He is not a woman, what do I want a fox for, should I keep it as a pet?

"Hit some foxes for you to make clothes." The clothes made of fox fur are very warm, so that in winter, the little fish will not be cold.

"Compared to foxes, Ninth Brother, you should kill a few more rabbits." Li Yu licked his lips and said with a greedy face, "I want to eat rabbits, so you can kill a few more rabbits and I will let you eat them." Different rabbit meat." Speaking of rabbits, he wanted to eat rabbit heads.

"Brother Jiu, the whole body of the rabbit is full of treasures, all of which are delicious." Thinking of the spicy rabbit head, Li Yu's mouth watered involuntarily.

Li Zhi looked at Li Yu's greedy little face when he talked about rabbits, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I will definitely kill a few more rabbits tomorrow."

"We can eat roasted rabbit meat, rabbit hot pot, spicy rabbit head..." Li Yu said a lot of ways to eat rabbits in one breath, which made Li Zhi feel greedy.

"I'll try to kill a few more rabbits." It's still the little fish that can eat them.

"Unfortunately, I can't hunt." After all, can he still hunt in this life?

Hearing what Li Yu said, Li Zhi couldn't help showing a deep distress in his eyes, "Little Yu'er, we'll come back to hunt after you recover."

"It's definitely not possible in the past few years, so Brother Ninth, you have to take my share to go hunting tomorrow." Li Yu made a cheering gesture to Li Zhi, "You must take my share and hunt more rabbits. If you can Deer are the best." Venison should be good, especially roasted.

"I'll work hard." Li Zhi still has a little confidence in hunting rabbits and foxes, but he has no confidence in hunting deer.

Li Yu originally thought that he could not hunt, at least he could be a spectator, but on the second day when he came to Lishan, the weather was not good and there was a strong wind.He has recovered from his illness, but his body is still very weak, and he cannot be exposed to the wind, otherwise he will suffer from the cold again.

Without Li Shimin's order, Li Yu would obediently stay in the Royal Palace in Lishan.Although he really wanted to go to the paddock to watch Datang's autumn hunting, but for the sake of his own life, he should stay in the palace honestly.

Hearing the sound of drumming from the paddock not far away, Li Yu lay down on the table and sighed resentfully: "Oh..." This day can't be passed.

Seeing Li Yu's listless appearance on Monday and Tuesday made me feel distressed, and I had to find a way to cheer up His Highness.

Tuesday's mind was spinning quickly, knowing that His Royal Highness likes to eat, he immediately thought of a good idea: "Your Highness, what do you want to eat, and I will make it for you?"

Li Yu rested his chin on the table and said weakly, "You can do whatever you want."

"Your servant will do it now." Before leaving on Tuesday, he raised his hand and gently patted Next Monday's shoulder, signaling that Monday should take good care of His Highness.

Zhou nodded in understanding.

Li Yu put his face on the table and rolled around.

Seeing his highness's cute appearance on Monday, he almost couldn't help laughing.

"Your Highness, if you feel bored, why don't I play cards with you?"

Li Yu was not interested: "I don't want to play."

"Then... playing puzzles?"

"Not interested." Li Yu listened to the bustling sound from the paddock not far away, and his heart itched badly. He really wanted to go and watch the hunting, but... "Oh... If I knew this, I might as well not Come." In the palace, at least he can accompany A Niang and tease Huniu.

Seeing Li Yu's lifeless look on Monday, he couldn't help becoming anxious, stretched out his hand and scratched his ear and said, "Your Highness, why don't you find someone to tell you a story?"

"I don't want to hear it." After Li Yu finished speaking, he fell backwards on the cushion.

"Your Highness...then what do you want to do?"

"I want to go hunting, but I can't."

Hearing what Li Yu said, Zhou Yi's eyes were full of distress: "Your Highness..."

"Alas..." Li Yu lay on the cushion, crossed his hands behind his head and stared at the roof.

After making snacks on Tuesday, Li Yu regained some energy.

At the same time, in the paddock, Li Shimin took the lead in hunting, and the scene was very spectacular.If Li Yu saw it, he would be deeply shocked.

Remembering Li Yu's words, Li Zhi was busy hunting rabbits from the beginning of the hunt.He was lucky today, he shot two rabbits in a short while, and then sent the people around him back to the palace.

He thought that Xiao Yu'er couldn't do anything in the palace, he must be very bored, so if he hit a rabbit, he would be sent back, which would make Xiao Yu'er happier.

At noon, the hunting stopped temporarily, and the hunters began to count the prey they had hunted.

There is a special person to record the prey that each person who participated in the hunt has hunted.Whoever hunts the most prey will naturally be rewarded generously.Of course, it counts as the prey hunted in a day, not half a day.

Li Shimin originally wanted to hunt a blind bear, but he didn't find one, so he hunted a deer, several foxes and rabbits, and a silly roe deer.

The prey hunted in the morning are basically used for lunch.

Li Shimin asked Feng Yong to send someone back to the palace with the prey he hunted in the morning, and asked the cook in the palace to cook the prey for Li Yu to eat.

In addition to sending back the prey, Li Shimin also sent a leopard cub to Li Yu.

In Datang, aristocrats and royal family members all liked hunting.When they hunt, they like to bring hounds, lynxes, leopards and other animals.

Like leopards, they are basically paid tribute by countries in the Western Regions.However, all the leopards who paid tribute were sent to the paddock in Lishan.It was originally raised in the palace, but it was too dangerous and inconvenient to keep in the palace, so Li Shimin sent someone to the paddock.

The leopard cubs that Li Shimin sent to Li Yu were born from two leopards who had paid tribute to them from the Western Regions.

Feng Yong personally sent the leopard's cub to Li Yu's hands, "Everyone is afraid that Your Highness will be bored in the palace, so let this servant give you this little leopard to play with."

Li Yu raised the little leopard to his eyes with both hands, and stared at the furry and cute little guy in surprise.If Feng Yong hadn't told him that it was a little leopard, he would have thought it was a cat.

"Is this really a leopard?"

"Your Highness, this is really a leopard. It was born from two leopards who paid tribute to the Western Regions."

Li Yu looked left and right, and felt that the little guy in his hand didn't look like a leopard because it was so cute.The little guy's body hair is gray with some faint spots.The little guy's ears are not pointed, but oval, his eyes are brown, and there are two deep lines from the corners of the eyes to the sides of the mouth.

No matter how cute it looked, it was completely different from the fierce and agile leopard in his impression.

"Thank you, Aye, for saying that I like it very much." Li Yu was so cute by the little guy in his hand.

Seeing Li Yu's face full of joy, Feng Yong couldn't help being happy in his heart.

"My servant will definitely tell everyone that you like this little leopard very much, Your Highness."

"With this little leopard to accompany me, I won't be bored anymore." Li Yu lowered his head and rubbed the little leopard's nose with his nose.

The little leopard opened a pair of wet and round eyes, and looked at Li Yu innocently and curiously. This look made Li Yumeng's heart soften.

Feng Yong returned to the paddock and reported to Li Shimin that Li Yu liked the little leopard.Li Shimin felt relieved after hearing this.

The author has something to say: In the new year, I wish all the cuties a happy New Year of the Ox!Bullish!The world is turning around!Niu Niu Niu Niu!

The most important thing is good health!Peace and joy!Wealth is abundant!

Historically, Li Shimin built Tangquan Palace, also known as Huaqing Pool, in 644 AD.The time in the text is advanced.
