I hide my concubine in a golden house

Chapter 78 Hunting, Showing Love
The journey was tiring, and the brigade arrived at the outskirts of the Nanyuan hunting ground in the evening.

Tents of all sizes have been erected on the periphery of the hunting ground. From a distance, it is densely packed without end.The brigade camped out and rested overnight, and the winter hunting officially started the next day.

The cold wind was bitter, and the hem of the clothes was dancing in the wind with the chill.

Qianqiu Wang was always strong and strong, and he wore armor like a rainbow. He was quite imposing, and attracted a group of accompanying people to flatter him.

Surrounded by the crowd, King Qianqiu fired the first arrow of the hunting ground and hit a wild wolf in one fell swoop. Go and capture the wounded wolf.

After a good start, King Qianqiu dismounted in a good mood: "The widow will accompany the queen to watch, and this place will be handed over to you young men. Anyone who performs well in this winter hunting will be rewarded!"

Su Tian took off the fox fur wrapped around her body and threw it to the guards behind her. She was preparing for the hunt, and she laughed when she heard the words: "Since the father rewarded the young man, I will give the daughters of each family another prize. If any female heroine wins the first prize in Dongshou again today, I will grant her...give her a wish."

The crowd cheered, and several girls in riding clothes were eager to try.

Su Tian rode a tall snow-white horse, turned her head and raised her eyebrows silently at Quan Juan, her legs clamped the horse's belly, and she rushed out first, her bright red skirt dancing in the wind.

After not running far, she saw an adult stag looming in the grass in front of her. Su Tian reined in her horse, hissed, touched the bow with her left hand, stretched her right hand back, and immediately an accompanying guard handed an arrow up.

Su Tian took the arrow and placed it on the bowstring, holding the bow handle tightly with her left hand, her eyes focused, and slowly opened the bowstring with her right hand.

whoosh-

The iron-colored arrow shot across the sky and shot menacingly at the tree trunk next to the deer.

Guard A: "..."

Konoe B: "..."

Guard C: "..."

Consort Martin: "..." Who is this person?Does he know it?
Su Tian's shooting skills are already poor, and she was punished for standing before, but now she is still riding and shooting, and there is a moving deer on the opposite side, so it is even more difficult for her to shoot.

She was thick-skinned, held the bow in her hand, looked at the crooked arrow, and sighed at Quan Juan who came after her, without any shame, instead she said: "I wanted to invite my son-in-law to eat roast venison, It seems that the son-in-law does not have this kind of luck."

Quan Jue stepped forward: "I haven't eaten roast venison yet."

A group of guards gave way one after another.

Quan Yu drove his horse to the place where he was shoulder to shoulder with Su Tian, ​​stopped the horse, and said: "Then for my good fortune tonight, I will teach His Royal Highness how to archery today."

"Ah?" Su Tian was a little confused. Is this kind of skill useful by teaching it now?
Su Tian was taken aback for a moment, but before she could react, her body was suddenly suspended in the air, and was dragged onto her own horse by Quan Jue's waist.

The servants A, B, and C lowered their heads and pretended to be blind.

Quan Juan took the quiver from the guard next to him, took out one and handed it to Su Tian.

"Come on, I'll watch." Su Tian was afraid that she would lose face if she missed another shot, so she shook her head, raised her hand to draw the bow, and looked at Quan Juan.

"Your Highness, don't you trust me?" Quan Yu smiled, put away her pedals, and drove her on horseback to chase a few steps in the direction of the deer's escape, "Then it's up to me."

Finally seeing the deer, Quan Juan quietly took the bow from the saddle pocket, put the arrow sideways, and focused his eyes on the wild deer in the distance.

Su Tian didn't look at the deer, but looked at Quan Juan without blinking.

The son-in-law is wearing a black riding suit today, the cuffs are tucked narrow, revealing a wrist with distinct carpal bones, holding the bow and arrow with his slender fingers, and the movements of nocking the arrow and drawing the bow are clean and neat.

Immediately, Quan Juan raised his hand and pulled the bowstring to a full circle, aiming high, only to hear a "swish", a cold light left the string and went away.

Su Tian held her breath, and looked in the direction of the arrow, and saw that the arrow passed through the deer's neck and was firmly nailed to the tree on one side.

Su Tian applauded, stepped on the pedals cheerfully and half stood up, pointed at the deer without blushing and said, "Go, my deer, my deer."

Quan Jue pressed her shoulders and pressed her down: "Sit still, the horse will not be able to support you."

Su Tian chuckled: "I have to show off, I haven't hunted a deer yet, can I make boots for you after peeling the deer skin?"

She knows that Quan is low-key and doesn't want to be in the limelight, so all she brings out are arrow feathers marked with her mark, and when the time comes to count these preys, they will naturally be recorded on her head.

Quan Jue's heart softened when she laughed: "It's all good."

Watching the attendant come forward to retrieve the deer, Su Tian licked her lips thinking about roasting the deer, and was about to sit down when she suddenly felt that the touch of her feet was a bit wrong.

When she lowered her head, Su Tian saw that her little boots were stepping on Quan Juan's boots impartially. Due to her actions just now, there was a layer of shallow shoe prints on them.

Guiltyly, Su Tian withdrew her feet, and moved her body back cautiously, but forgot that she was still sitting on the horseback, riding the same horse with Quan Yu, and bumped into someone's arms.

Quan Yu took a sharp breath, his face turned pale, and his straight back was slightly arched.

She was still carrying a big bow on her back, and the place where the string was tied was just pressed against him...

Su Tian heard the sound of gasping for breath, and turned her head quickly, seeing that Quan Juan's expression was not right, she just wanted to get off the horse to check the situation, but was tightly bound by Quan Juan.

"What's wrong? Let me see!"

Quan Jue broke out in a cold sweat, and his head rested on her neck, his breath was damp and hot: "Don't move!"

After finishing speaking, he gasped again, "Don't move, let me take it easy..."

"You...your head is sweating..." Su Tian stiffened slightly, and asked him in a low voice, "Is it hot?"

Obviously, the days have been getting colder recently.

Quan Yu didn't say a word.

He was in pain, covered in cold sweat, and his underwear was soaked.

The two of them stuck together silently, and the servants A, B, and C also looked at each other tacitly and did not speak. For a while, only the slight sound of wind and birdsong could be heard in the hunting ground.

It took a long time for Quan Juan to recover from the pain.

"Cuckoo——" There was a sudden sound of birds chirping and wings flapping overhead, very close.

Su Tian raised her head and saw a pigeon resting not far above her head with its wings fluttering. She didn't know if she was tired from flying or lost her way.

"Pigeon, pigeon, look quickly." Su Tian immediately forgot what happened just now, turned around and grabbed Quan Jue's arm, and said in a low voice, "This is the first time I've seen a pigeon in the hunting ground, the meat of the pigeon is tender and delicious. , shall we have roast venison and pigeon soup tonight?"

The pigeon meat is tender, it is the intensively raised squab she usually eats, he has eaten this kind of pigeon meat several times in Guhong Palace, the meat is not much, and it is tasteless.

Seeing the pigeon, Quan Jue narrowed his eyes slightly, but didn't say a word. He set the arrow and drew the bow, and shot the pigeon that was parked on the branch neatly.
