This queen is not too curly

Chapter 135 Where's the Promised Female General Style?

After the first snow in winter, the winter hunting officially kicked off.

Yan Yuan made a lot of preparations for this winter hunt. On the day she decided to participate in the winter hunt, she sent someone to send a letter to the medical center in the imperial capital, informing her family that it was too late to return to the northwest, so as to fix the North Marquis mansion. Participated in winter hunting together in name, and sent someone to buy some hunting traps and bait in the market in the city, and finally entrusted Luan Yufang to prepare a few huge camphor wood boxes for temporary storage of bloody prey from being caught. Infested by insects and ants.

And, she also called Qiu Yu.

Qiu Yu had been recuperating in the imperial hospital for a long time, and it was meaningless to practice against wooden stakes every day. A good knife always needs blood to be sharpened before it can be sharpened again. This autumn hunting is a good opportunity.

Yan Yuan is very satisfied with one stroke.

So on the hunting ground, everyone was surprised to find that the most well-equipped hunting team was not from the generals, but from the weakly literate queen, and everyone dropped their jaws in surprise.

Even Luo Ziqiu couldn't hold back his gentle and refined face, he hesitated and said, "Your Majesty is really here to hunt?"

Yan Yuan frowned and said, "What does Doctor Luo mean?"

Luo Ziqiu suppressed a smile and said: "Those who don't know may think that the empress is here to buy."

Yan Yuan: "..."

In fact, it can't be said to be a purchase.

Yan Yuan thought to herself.

She came today to do business without money, to rob.

Chen Ling gave an order, and the hunt officially began.

Yan Yuan turned to face the servants of the Hou Mansion, and gave her final instructions:

"This is the royal hunting ground. There should be no beasts, but there should be a lot of rare birds."

"After entering the mountain, you prefer to hunt birds. The bigger the better, the brighter the feathers, the better."

"For beasts, antelopes have horns, foxes and deer have skins, and useless beasts don't need to be killed, and try to save time."

"Remember to split up and don't take credit."

It was cold and windy in the hunting ground, Yan Yuan wrapped her clothes tightly.

Her voice was soft and thin, caught in the howling cold wind, it seemed more and more weak.

"Did you understand?"

"Understood!"

The servants of Dingbeihou's Mansion were passionate, and their voices pierced the sky.

At the entrance of the hunting ground not far away, Chen Ling sat on the horseback, his eyes passed through the crowd and fell on Yan Yuan.

He saw a...

Well, balls.

It snowed last night, and the sky and the earth are now covered with snow.

Yan Yuan has obviously changed into the thickest fur coat, holding the stove in her hand, and a furry scarf around her neck. Her whole body is wrapped in soft fluff, which looks like a living warm fur coat. ball.

Chen Lingchen looked at her from a distance, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Princess Yuerong's voice sounded from beside him: "If I had known that the empress is so cold and weak, Yuerong would not have forced her to come."

Chen Ling withdrew his gaze from Yan Yuan, and looked back at Princess Yuerong.

Today's Princess Yuerong is dressed in men's attire, with a long bow on her back, no makeup on her face, and a tight waist. She looks like a slender and neat teenager.

Chen Ling said seriously: "The princess won't go into the mountain?"

Princess Yuerong was startled, and immediately laughed: "Didn't your majesty and empress also not move?"

Chen Ling said in a deep voice, "Oh, I'm not good at riding and shooting, so I plan to drink in the camp."

Princess Yuerong: "..."

The scene reached a stalemate.

A visible embarrassment appeared on Princess Yuerong's face.

Not far away, the servants of Dingbeihou's Mansion received Yan Yuan's order, and rushed into the forest with loud shouts, and the atmosphere was in full swing.

After a while, Yan Yuan hugged the stove and walked slowly past the entrance of the hunting ground.

Princess Yuerong hooked the corners of her mouth: "Your Majesty probably wants to be alone with the empress, so you deliberately find an excuse not to go hunting?"

There was a hint of teasing in her eyes: "I remember you Yan Guo has a poem called 'Green Ant New Fermented Wine, Red Clay Small Stove'?"

Yan Yuan, who was about to hit the arrow, said, "..."

Princess Yuerong's words meant something, but it was far from a simple joke.

The winter hunting was set up by the Empress Dowager in her name, and she is also the princess of the Yan Kingdom on diplomatic missions. If the two masters of the Emperor and Empress really warmed up and drank in the tent, and let her go into the mountain alone as a guest, then it would be the Yan Kingdom. If there is doubt about the sincerity of hospitality, this matter is very important.

Yan Yuan looked up at Princess Yuerong and said, "Princess misunderstood."

She slowly rotated the stove in the palm of her hand, found the most comfortable position, and gently stroked it: "If I don't get paid, I will go hunting."

Princess Yuerong: "..."

Chen Lingshen: "..."

Yan Yuan said calmly: "I just went back to the carriage to get the bow and arrow."

She almost had "I'm not free" written all over her face.

After hastily explaining, he went straight to the carriage.

She took the bow and arrow from the carriage, called Qiu Yu who had been waiting by the way, picked two good horses together, and was about to go hunting in the mountains, but before entering the woods, an uninvited visitor blocked the road.

Yan Yuan looked at the man and woman in front of her with a lifeless look: "Your Majesty, won't you go drink?"

Chen Ling said calmly, "I have changed my mind."

Princess Yuerong said: "I am very close to the empress, and I want to go together. I don't know if the empress dislikes it?"

Yan Yuan: "..."

Two burdens that prevent people from getting rich.

Yan Yuan cursed secretly in her heart.

Naturally, the face should not be too obvious, so she said softly: "Of course, which way the princess is going to the hunting ground?"

The royal hunting ground is a place where the emperor and his ministers have fun together. The courtiers are divided into civil servants and military generals. Among the children of the princes and ministers, there are still teenagers and girls in their early ten years. Therefore, the hunting location and difficulty of this hunting ground are also different.

There are relatively dangerous large mammals in the eastern mountain cols, and small prey such as rabbits and foxes in the western grasslands. There are lakes in the south where you can fish and talk freely. fun.

Princess Yuerong thought for a while: "Your Majesty is gentle and quiet, how about Yuerong accompanying her to the grassland? Yuerong is good at martial arts, and can also protect her."

Yan Yuan was full of regret: "I am going to the forest, what a pity, we are not on the way."

Princess Yuerong was full of astonishment: "The forest is full of ferocious beasts, the empress really wants to go?"

Yan Yuan nodded: "Yes, do you want to go with the princess?"

She was asking casually, but Princess Yuerong's expression changed quietly.

Princess Yuerong seemed extremely unwilling to go to the forest, her unpainted face was full of difficult hesitation: "I..."

Is she unwilling, or... afraid?
A trace of doubt floated in Yan Yuan's heart.

But right now was not the time to ask for evidence, so she hurriedly said goodbye to them, and beckoned to Qiu Yu and plunged into the forest, but she didn't want the two burdens behind her to follow closely, and it was not right for her to shake it off, or not to shake it off.

Yan Yuan had no choice but to slow down the horse.

It was overcast at this time.

In the far distance of the forest, someone was obviously chasing prey. The roar of an unknown animal pierced through the shadows of the trees, and resounded shrillly in the forest, startling the birds all over the sky.

"what--"

Princess Yuerong covered her ears in fright.

Her hands let go of the rein, her body lost her balance in an instant, and she was about to fall off the horse.

"careful!"

Fortunately, Qiu Yu had quick eyesight and quick hands, and flew forward to support Princess Yuerong.

Even so, most of her body was already hanging from the horse, and when she stood up, her face was pale, and her face had already faded.

Yan Yuan: "...???"

Did she just say that she has good skills?

What about the wind of the female general? ? ?

Yan Yuan stared at Princess Yuerong's pale face in a daze.

Princess Yuerong's fingertips turned white, she finally calmed down and said with difficulty: "I... I just lost my mind."

Yan Yuan said silently, "Oh, it's inevitable."

……

Yan Yuan's hunting trip was interrupted.

Because Princess Yuerong claimed that she had sprained her leg just now and could no longer clamp the horse's belly to ride the horse forward, Yan Yuan had no choice but to accompany her, so a good hunting was finally reduced to an outing.

Four people and four horses are walking in the forest.

Yan Yuan slowly followed Princess Yuerong's side, walking reassuringly while sizing her up without showing any signs.

This is the first time she has observed this princess seriously: she looks very thin, with thick eyelashes, fair skin, narrow and thin shoulders, pale white fingers holding the reins, and light pink nails. It doesn't match her men's clothes very well.

She doesn't look like a rough person rolling in mud like she said, nor does she look like a person who knows martial arts.

Could it be possible to fake it?
But why?
The purpose?
Many doubts pent up in my heart.

Yan Yuan pretended not to turn her head to look at Chen Lingchen: This dog has complicated thoughts, and has gotten along with this Princess Yuerong a lot in recent days, it is absolutely impossible not to notice her strangeness.

Originally, she just wanted to sneak a peek at his face, but she didn't want to meet his gaze as soon as she turned her head.

Accidentally intertwined eyes.

There was a gleam of bright joy in Chen Ling's deep eyes.

Clearly, he was gloating.

Yan Yuan turned her head blankly.

……

While the atmosphere was stalemate, rustling sounds suddenly sounded in the depths of the dense forest.

Yan Yuan suddenly came back to her senses and looked far ahead, only to see a maroon red figure popping out not far ahead—it was a sika deer, jumping out of the bushes in a hurry, and was about to flee to the depths of the forest.

"Qiu Yu! You go to the front!" Yan Yuan hurriedly said.

"Yes!" Qiu Yu replied decisively.

Hunting requires tacit understanding.

Yan Yuan found that Qiu Yu and herself were quite compatible.

She tightened the reins and made a detour to block the sika deer, and Qiu Yu knew that she should go in the opposite direction and wait for the rabbit.

She rode her horse around to the front of the sika deer, and drove the sika deer towards Qiu Yu's direction. At that time, Qiu Yu had already ambushed in a secluded place, raised her wrist and aimed a crossbow between the sika deer's eyebrows.

"Shoot the arrow!" Yan Yuan ordered.

Qiu Yu's small arrow pierced through layers of leaf barriers in an instant, and shot towards the sika deer!
This wave is in line with the flow of water.

Yan Yuan originally thought that she was sure of everything, but she didn't want to...

Uh, miss.

All three arrows fell through.

Yan Yuan watched the sika deer escape into the woods.

"..."

"Subordinates are incompetent!"

Qiu Yu's face flushed instantly, and he was so embarrassed that he almost shrank into the cracks in the ground.

Yan Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "No problem, it's common to miss in the hunting ground."

Although the loss of this hand is indeed a bit exaggerated.

He was ambushing and shooting from the front, and the sika deer was such a big prey, it would not be easy for all three arrows to miss.

A little confusion flashed in Yan Yuan's heart.

Qiu Yu is usually diligent and diligent, and he doesn't seem to be a person who is negligent in practice, and it is obvious that when he used the crossbow for the first time, his shooting was almost inseparable, why did he miss the target like this?
"The subordinate is incompetent! Please punish me!"

Qiu Yu's face was already livid.

People who practice martial arts have the best face in this way. For Qiu Yu, missing a target may make him feel more ashamed than taking off his clothes.

Yan Yuan could only reassure him: "Failing to shoot is not necessarily a skill problem. The crossbow needs to be adjusted frequently, and the position of the bow and arrow you wear will also make the bow and arrow inaccurate. Come over to Bengong to show you."

"……Yes."

Qiu Yu lowered his head and raised his wrist obediently.

Yan Yuan took off the crossbow and put it on again for Qiu Yu. She didn't think it was a problem with wearing it, but if she didn't find something to do in this situation, Qiu Yu would be ashamed and cut her belly.

"All right."

Yan Yuan raised her head and said.

She suddenly felt a burning sensation on her back.

Turning around, he realized that Chen Lingshen had caught up to her at some point. At this moment, he was staring at her not far away, and the crossbow she had half tied for Qiu Yu.

Princess Yuerong was standing beside him, with a surprised expression on her face.

"..."

The two burdens are really irreplaceable.

Yan Yuan seized the time to re-tie the crossbow for Qiu Yu, then walked towards Chen Lingchen with a sigh, and tried to discuss with him as she walked: "It's cold in the mountains, how about your majesty..."

Yan Yuan originally wanted to persuade Chen Ling to return to the tent, but she was only halfway through when she found that the burning sensation on her back was still there.

But Chen Ling and Shen Mingming were in front of her, Qiu Yu was on the side, and Princess Yuerong was also within her line of sight.

……why?
Yan Yuan stopped in her tracks.

The hot feeling became more obvious, and at the same time, goosebumps appeared on her body for some reason.

Yan Yuan suddenly realized something.

In this dense forest.

Something else was watching her.
