Qiu Ju's hunt was, firstly, for Sun Lianhe to test the riding and shooting skills of the royal family's descendants and soldiers, and secondly, to boost their spirits through the hunt.
After Xuanyuan Yu finished his lecture, he led thousands of people on horseback to the hunting ground. Concubine Shu and the second prince rode in the carriage.
Outside the hunting ground, a shed was set up with tables and chairs inside. Concubine Shu and the second prince did not enter the hunting ground, but sat in the shed and waited.
Before entering the hunting ground, Concubine Shu asked someone to call Song Ziling over.
"The common people pay their respects to Concubine Shu and pay their respects to the Second Prince." Song Ziling knelt down and saluted.
Concubine Shu hurriedly raised her hand and said: "Second Young Master Song, please get up quickly."
"Thank you, empress." Song Ziling stood up.
"Brother..." Xiao Douding slipped off his mother's lap, ran to Song Ziling, hugged his calf, and looked up at him with big, bright eyes.
Song Ziling looked at Concubine Shu and didn't know what to do. If he didn't know Xiao Douding's identity, he would naturally hug him directly. But now that he knew, Xiao Douding called him brother and still hugged his thigh like this. He really
Don’t know what to do? After all, identities are different.
Concubine Shu smiled and said: "Ji'er has been talking about you these days. This child is very clingy, so just give him a hug!"
Concubine Shu is still aware of her own son. He usually hugs other people's calves like this, just to let others hug him. However, apart from Song Ziling, the only people who have been hugged by him like this are the emperor, the queen mother, and her.
This mother-in-law's uncle wanted to hug her, but he wouldn't let her hug her and would cry whenever she was hugged.
"Yes." Song Ziling bent down and picked up Little Doudinger.
"Hehe..." Xiao Douding hugged Song Ziling's neck happily.
Seeing her son acting like this, Concubine Shu couldn't help but smile and shake her head. She really didn't expect that her golden boy would be so fond of the second son of the Song family. However, she was also happy to see that her golden boy and the second son of the Song family
The young master is close to her. If it weren't for the fact that the second young master of the Song family was much older than her own son, she would have wanted him to be Ji'er's companion!
When they were about to enter the hunting ground, Song Ziling returned Xiao Douding, who was holding him up to his neck and unwilling to let go, back to Concubine Shu.
Before entering the hunting ground, Xuanyuan Yu, wearing golden armor, rode on horseback and said loudly: "Whoever kills the most prey today will be rewarded heavily by me."
Many people became excited upon hearing this and shouted: "Long live the Emperor."
Thousands of people rode into the royal hunting ground. After entering, they dispersed to hunt. Song Heng and Xuanyuan Liuyun were following the emperor. He didn't care about the reward. Their main task was to protect the emperor.
's safety.
Song Ziling was originally following his father, but he lost track of him.
So he stopped following and went hunting in the woods with Qiao Mu. Two soldiers followed behind them to help them pick up the prey.
Song Ziling was very interested in hunting for the first time. Within half an hour, he had hunted two roe deer, a deer, and three hares. There were slightly more trees than he had hunted. The four of them walked around in the forest for a while.
As we walked around the circle, we heard the sound of the horn reminding everyone to go back.
After returning to the hunting ground, the emperor asked someone to count the prey that everyone had hunted. There was no doubt that the emperor had the most prey. Although everyone wanted a heavy reward, no one dared to surpass the emperor.
Xuanyuan Yu glanced around and stopped on Song Ziling. He smiled and praised: "He is really a tiger father and son, the second son of the Song family. He has hunted so many prey at a young age. General Song really gave birth to a good child."
son."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Song Ziling. Although he didn't hunt many prey, he was young and it was already pretty good to be able to hunt so many prey.
Song Heng glanced at his son, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the dog is just lucky." Although he said this, he was still quite proud of his son in his heart.
Many generals looked at Song Heng with envy, because his son was indeed a good one. The most important thing was that this child also caught the emperor's eye and won his appreciation.
Xuanyuan Yu smiled, knowing that he was speaking modestly, and looked away, and praised the others a few more times. Then, the group dragged the prey back to the palace. In the evening, a banquet was held in the palace, and the food was the afternoon meal.
The prey that was being hunted. The people who accompanied the emperor on the hunt were military generals. It was a great time for everyone to eat meat and drink together in the evening.
