As a royal hunting ground, the Nanqi Paddock has very good geographical conditions, a wide variety of wild animals, and a vast area, which is very suitable for large-scale hunting.

September is the season of crisp autumn weather, and most of the female relatives who came here came out with the mentality of having an outing, talking and laughing along the way.

After traveling for most of the day, towards dusk, the team arrived at their destination and began to set up camp.

Daohua liked the tent very much. As soon as she took Wang Maner and others to pack the tent, Xiao Yeyang strode in.

"Why are you back so soon? Is everything okay with Uncle Huang?"

Xiao Yeyang drank a cup of tea, looked at the rice flowers and said: "During this time in the paddock, no matter where you go, you must take plum blossoms, orchids, plums and chrysanthemums with you."

Seeing his serious expression, Daohua quickly nodded solemnly: "Don't worry about me, I will protect myself."

Xiao Yeyang took Daohua and sat down: "Chengen Gong is also here. This time, two of the generals in charge of the siege are members of the Jiang family."

Daohua instantly understood the underlying meaning of Xiao Yeyang's words, and said in shock: "Is the Jiang family so bold?"

Xiao Yeyang sneered: "I told you, this is a paddock, it's not surprising to have unexpected accidents." After saying that, he told me again, "I may be very busy during this period, so try not to go to places with few people."

Daohua nodded quickly.

Everyone rested for a night, and early the next morning, the emperor himself got on horseback and led the officials into the depths of the paddock to hunt.

The emperor came out this time and brought several concubines with him. Due to Xiao Yeyang's reminder, Daohua did not wander around even though she was very bored sitting among the female relatives, and kept following the movements of the female relatives.

When it was almost noon, the emperor took the lead in returning with a group of people, each carrying a lot of prey on their backs.

Not long after, other people came back one after another.

Seeing everyone's abundant prey, the emperor was very happy: "Today is the Double Ninth Festival. Although we are not at home, we can't be careless outside. We must pack up all the prey and bake them all. Let's have a good time."

After the emperor spoke, everyone immediately got busy.

The first day of autumn hunting passed safely and everyone was very happy.

The hunting continued the next day. Today the emperor joined the competition. The top three with the most prey will be rewarded personally.

At this time, everyone who followed was excited. The young and strong men who were confident in riding and shooting were all secretly gearing up and wanting to perform well in front of the emperor.

When the men went out to hunt, the women sat in front of the tent and talked about homely matters.

Daohua was about to go find Princess Huijia when she saw the third prince's concubine pulling the second prince's concubine over.

"Sister-in-law, my second sister-in-law and I both want to go for a ride, so you can go with us."

As soon as the third princess walked in, she enthusiastically took Daohua's arm.

Daohua looked at the third princess with a smile and used some strength to pull her arm out: "Second prince, third prince, I'm really sorry. I haven't been feeling well these past two days and can't ride a horse. Please find someone else."

Let me accompany you."

The third prince's concubine suddenly smiled and asked: "Brother and sister, with your rosy face, you don't look uncomfortable. Why, do you really not want to accompany me and my second sister-in-law?"

Daohua's smile did not diminish: "Third Princess, since you have to pretend not to understand the euphemistic words, then I have to be more straightforward. I really don't want to ride with you."

The third prince's face froze and she looked at Daohua in shock. Then her face turned red and she stared at Daohua angrily.

Daohua continued with a smile: "In fact, most of the time you can tell whether people are sincere or fake. If you don't make it clear, you are taking into account the face of both parties. But if you insist on telling others, it's very difficult.

It’s embarrassing.”

After saying that, he nodded towards the second prince who was also in a daze, and walked towards the eldest princess Huijia.

Kang Naixin got engaged, but she didn't come with her this time. Princess Huijia only had her two daughters-in-law with her.

Daohua smiled and saluted Princess Huijia, and then nodded and greeted her two daughters-in-law.

Princess Huijia looked at the second and third princesses: "What are they looking for you for?"

Daohua smiled and said: "I was invited to ride a horse, but I refused."

Princess Huijia nodded: "It's right to refuse. This is a paddock after all. There are even tigers and bears. Without Yeyang to accompany you, it's best not to run around."

Daohua: "What the eldest princess said is true, and I think so too." As he said that, he glanced at the female relatives around him and said with a smile, "Naixin didn't come, and Xirong didn't come either."

Princess Huijia smiled and said: "You don't know yet, but that girl Xirong is also engaged, and Mrs. Wu is keeping her in the process of getting married and embroidering her wedding dress."

Daohua looked surprised: "Who has decided?"

Princess Huijia smiled: "You know him, the eldest grandson of Prince Yong."

Daohua: "Xiao Yexuan?"

Princess Huijia nodded: "Isn't it him?" She originally wanted her daughter to marry Xiao Yexuan, but she never thought that her daughter would fall in love with Wu Dingbai and match up Xi Rong and Xiao Yexuan.

Daohua smiled and said: "Naixin and Xirong are indeed sisters, and they all came together for the engagement."

Princess Huijia also smiled and talked about other things with Daohua.

On this day, except for a little friction when counting the prey, everything was calm.

Nothing happened for the next two days, but on the sixth day of autumn hunting, an accident happened.

Someone was attacked by a tiger.

It is not unusual to encounter a tiger in the paddock. Except for the family who was attacked by the tiger, no one else paid much attention to it.

After the emperor learned about the appearance of the tiger, he excitedly took his people to hunt the tiger the next morning.

Princess Huijia told Daohua that during the autumn hunting in the past, the emperor not only hunted tigers, but also hunted bears and leopards.

"The emperor's riding and shooting are very superb."

Daohua absent-mindedly listened to Princess Huijia talking about the emperor's heroic deeds during the autumn hunting in previous years, but her thoughts went to the horizon.

When she went out in the morning, she noticed Xiao Yeyang's solemn expression. When her third brother came to look for Xiao Yeyang, his brows did not relax.

Something might happen today!

As Daohua expected, everyone else came back one after another at noon that day, but the team that went hunting with the emperor did not come back.

In the afternoon, the emperor still didn't come back, and everyone began to feel a little uneasy.

At this time, Duke Cheng'en, who had not shown up much before, appeared in front of everyone and began to direct everyone to find the emperor with a resolute attitude.

Towards evening, the emperor came back.

Daohua was shocked when she saw Xiao Yeyang, covered in blood, rushing into the dragon tent with the unconscious emperor on his back. She quickly followed her, but when she arrived in front of the dragon tent, she was stopped by the Imperial Guards.

Come down.

Looking at the eldest prince and others who were also blocked outside, Daohua had to forcefully suppress her anxiety.

"What's going on? How could my father be injured?"

The eldest prince angrily pulled an accompanying official and shouted.

The official looked pale and trembled and said: "We encountered a tiger first. After the emperor led everyone to hunt the tiger, before he could take a breath, he was surrounded by more than thirty wolves..."<

/p>

The eldest prince's eyes widened: "More than thirty wolves? How come there are so many wolves gathering together in the hunting ground?"

The official shook his head: "Even the humble minister doesn't know."

The third prince jumped in eagerly: "How is your father injured?"

The official's face became paler: "While avoiding the wolf attack, the emperor accidentally fell to the ground, his head just hit the rock, and a lot of blood flowed from the back of his head."

The eldest princes were so anxious that they wanted to rush into the tent.

The guards still didn't let them in.

Just when the eldest princes were angrily reprimanding the guards, Xiao Yeyang walked out.

"Xiao Yeyang, how is your father?"

Xiao Yeyang frowned and looked at the eldest prince and the others: "The imperial doctor is treating the emperor's uncle. Eldest prince, what do you want to do by taking the lead in making a noise here?"

The eldest prince paused and said, "I'm just worried about my father's safety."

Xiao Yeyang Huan glanced at the officials who were looking eagerly at the dragon tent: "Uncle Huang is fine, everyone should disperse first, and don't disturb Uncle Huang to rest."

After hearing this, all the officials looked at each other in confusion, and then slowly dispersed after a while.

As soon as the officials left, the eldest prince grabbed Xiao Yeyang fiercely: "Xiao Yeyang, tell me honestly, how injured is my father?"

Xiao Yeyang waved away the eldest prince, looked at their expressions, and paused for a moment on the third prince before saying, "Uncle Huang is fine. I have an injury on my body and I have to go back and bandage it."

With that said, he walked towards Daohua.

Daohua quickly helped Xiao Yeyang back to their tent.

After entering the tent, Daohua quickly checked Xiao Yeyang's injuries.

"Don't worry, it's just some skin injuries." Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua's anxious face and quickly comforted her in a low voice.

Daohua didn't listen. She checked all the wounds and saw that none of them were serious. Her heart dropped back to her stomach: "I was scared to death."

Xiao Yeyang: "Although I was not seriously injured, you still have to behave a little more seriously in front of outsiders."

Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang and nodded: "Uncle Huang..."

Xiao Yeyang nodded invisibly, and then said nothing.

Seeing this, Daohua didn't ask any more questions, took out the medicine box and started to help Xiao Yeyang clean up his wounds.

Over at the Dragon Tent, several imperial doctors who followed were busy until late at night, and then they walked out with heavy faces.

The eldest princes who were waiting outside immediately came forward to inquire about the emperor's injury.

Several imperial doctors said that the emperor was fine, but when they spoke, their eyes were evasive.
