——Time goes back to a year ago——

Years ago, it was about the end of December.

At that time, Zhao Hongrun had not yet returned to the royal capital of Daliang, and Zhao Yuanling, the sixth uncle, also took Princess Yulong and the two daughters of Mi Rui, who acted as her little guards, to hunt in the Pingqiu area.

Because according to the locals, there was a white fox with snow-white hair in the Pingqiu area, and Zhao Yuanli wanted to catch this beast and give it to Princess Yulong as a gift.

Unfortunately, their group searched in Pingqiu for more than 20 days, and although they caught a lot of other prey, they still failed to find the white fox in the end.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuanyan said to Princess Yulong, who was a little pouting and a little disappointed: "Yulong, it's almost the end of the year, why don't we go back to Daliang first?" ”

The New Year's Pass, or the Yuan Day next to it, is one of the more important festivals of the year in the Wei State, even in the court, such as the Yuan Day, Duanyang, Chongyang and so on, it is also a day for the reunion and celebration of the members of the royal family.

During these festivals, Wei Tianzi would basically hold a family banquet to celebrate with his concubines and his children.

This is also the reason why Zhao Hongrun must return to Daliang before the first day.

However, these festivals are not festive days for Princess Yulong, after all, on such days, she can feel more and more lonely.

Because she lost her mother Xiao Shuyan when she was young, and her father, when the emperor of Wei was also extremely cold to her, if it weren't for the protection of her brother Zhao Hongrun, who is now the king of Su, I am afraid that she would have been married to the state of Chu at this moment, or something else that left the country thousands of miles away from the state of Wei.

Even now, she is just a dispensable princess in the palace.

"I don't want to go back......"

Princess Yulong, who was sitting on horseback, held the reins in her little hands, bit her lip and whispered.

Today, she wears a hunting suit specially designed for hunting, and a wide leather belt with a cowhide texture is tied around her waist, as well as from her left shoulder to her waist, which fully sets off her gradually developing body.

Although the face still looks quite immature, there are some faint beauties, and she can be called a young little beauty.

"Won't you go back?"

Seeing Princess Yulong pouting with her head down, playing with the reins with both hands, and looking sullen, Zhao Yuanling immediately stepped forward, reached out and touched her head, and said with a chuckle: "According to the sixth uncle's guess, Hongrun should be back to Daliang soon." ”

Hearing this, Princess Yulong's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.

After all, in the palace, the only person she trusts the most is Zhao Hongrun, the royal brother who treats her very well.

But then, the brilliance in her eyes gradually dimmed again, and she pouted and said, "Yuan Ri...... Hongrun He will be very busy, he should be in Ningxiang Palace, together with his younger brother Hongxuan, with him...... Mother and concubine together. ”

"......" Zhao Yuanyan was slightly distracted when she heard this, and she didn't know who she saw from Princess Yulong's green face, and said in a somewhat unhurried tone: "Concubine Shen Shu...... Doesn't she like you too? ”

"But she's not my mother after all...... I don't want to, I don't want to disturb Hongrun and them......" After that, Princess Yulong raised her head, her eyes were full of eagerness and expectation, and pleaded: "Sixth uncle, let's look for a few more days, okay?" ”

Zhao Yuanling looked at Princess Yulong's eyes with a burst of distress and doting, smiled slightly, and asked teasingly: "That white fox probably learned that there was a little beauty who was more beautiful than her, so she hid in shame, what should I do?" ”

Princess Yulong's little face turned crimson when she heard this, and she said coquettishly: "Look for it again, okay, Sixth Uncle?" ”

"You can't search endlessly, can you? We don't have much food to bring......" Zhao Yuanyan said helplessly.

It is no wonder, after all, it is now winter, although there is a chance to catch some rare beasts such as white foxes, white foxes, bears, etc., but relatively speaking, there are many fewer common prey in the past, unless it is like the emperor hunting, a large number of wild beasts are driven to the predetermined hunting grounds in advance, otherwise, sometimes it is not uncommon to run a horse for more than ten miles and not see a beast.

Of course, there are a lot of wolves with red eyes that are hungry in winter, like jackals, mountain wolves, coyotes, as if they are all over the mountains.

After all, in Wei, winter is also the most serious season of wolf plague, due to the large reduction of prey, those hungry wolves will attack humans, and the woodcutters who used to go up the mountain to chop wood in winter were bitten to death by the wolves and devoured them all, and there were not a few.

Therefore, every autumn and winter, each county town of Wei will organize local hunters to go up the mountain to hunt wolves, hoping to reduce the harm of wolf plagues.

In addition, the wolf's skin can also be used to keep out the cold, and the wolf's meat can also be used to satisfy the stomach, but the meat is too rough, especially the air-dried wolf meat, chewing in the mouth is like chewing a handful of sand.

Princess Yulong couldn't accept it.

"This ...... I'll try this time. ”

And this time, Princess Yulong clenched her small fists and swore an oath.

Looking at her serious look, Zhao Yuanli shook his head with a wry smile, and then said: "Then let's do it, on the third day of the first month, how about we return to Daliang?" …… We can't put it off any longer, in fact, we don't have enough arrows and seasonings with us, and you don't want to nibble on unsalted wolf meat, do you? ”

Princess Yulong nodded again and again when she heard this, and said happily: "Sixth uncle, you are so good. ”

Zhao Yuanli pretended to smile helplessly, but when he saw the immature face of Princess Yulong, who was coquettish to him, he was still a little distracted.

"It's so beautiful to laugh, why do you always have a cold face all day long?" He muttered to himself.

Princess Yulong was stunned, tilted her head and looked at Zhao Yuanling suspiciously, and asked puzzledly, "Sixth uncle?" …… What did you just say? It was windy, I didn't hear it. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yuanyan woke up like a dream, and immediately shook his head and said, "No, the sixth uncle didn't say anything. ”

"Huh...... Obviously. ”

"Nope. …… Let's go and try our luck on the hill ahead. ”

"Hmm."

In this way, Zhao Yuanli and Princess Yulong have been staying in the wilderness, so that Zhao Hongrun returned to Daliang at the end of the year, and after returning to his Su Wangfu, he did not see Princess Yulong and the two daughters of Mi Rui.

In this way, it was not until the third day of the first month of the eighteenth year of Hongde, that is, the last day of the Yuan Day celebration, that Zhao Yuanli and Princess Yulong were ready to return to Daliang.

Unfortunately, they did not find the white fox that was passed down by the local Wei people, but when they were searching, they accidentally alarmed a hibernating bear, who roared and rushed into the cave, only to be killed by Zhao Yuanlian's chief of the sect's guard, Wang Qi, with a sword.

Quite a wonderful battle, I saw that Princess Yulong couldn't take her eyes off at that time, her palms were full of sweat, and she pinched a cold sweat for Wang Qi, the head of the sect guard, in a real sense, but Qi Rui seemed a little lacking in interest.

Because Zhao Yuanling's guards, because they were worried about the little girl Mi Rui, they rejected her idea of fighting with the bear.

"This one is for Hongrun. …… I wish him to be as powerful as that bear in the future, and beat the enemy to the ground......"

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, when passing through the east gate of Daliang, Princess Yulong was still happily holding a wooden box.

Inside the wooden box was a pair of bear paws, which were said to be the most delicious part of the bear's body.

Hearing this, one of the Zong Wei deliberately showed an embarrassed expression, and teased Princess Yulong and said, "Princess, it's not right to say that, this bear was beaten by Wang Qi to the point of 'falling flowers'......"

"Huh?" Princess Yulong was stunned, and the smile on her face suddenly froze.

Seeing this, Wang Qi, the head of the sect guard, glared at the sect guard angrily and said, "How old are the people, they are not doing the right thing!" As he spoke, he said to Princess Yulong amid the good-natured laughter of the guards: "Princess, don't listen to that guy, bear paw, but the most delicious part of Xiong Zhen's body, His Royal Highness King Su will definitely like it." You see, when the prince saw that you gave this thing to His Royal Highness King Su, instead of giving it to him, he was very concerned. ”

As he spoke, Wang Qi secretly pointed at Zhao Yuanling, who rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Really, Sixth Uncle?" Princess Yulong asked with a wink.

"......" Zhao Yuanyan wordlessly glanced at the guards who were secretly snickering, and deliberately said: "If I say it to the sixth uncle, it is true, will you give it to the sixth uncle?" ”

Princess Yulong thought about it, then shook her head and said, "This is for Hongrun." ”

In the laughter of the guards, Zhao Yuanyan said sourly: "This is ...... It makes Uncle Six very sad. After that, the corners of his mouth raised a little smile, and he said: "Sixth Uncle thinks, you don't use the bear paws you gave to that kid?" You should give him ...... 'that'. "That kid didn't come back to Daliang alone this time, and he also kidnapped a girl from the Qingyang tribe of the Qing tribe......"

Hearing the 'that' in Zhao Yuanling's mouth, Princess Yulong's pretty face flushed, and she stared at the former with shame, and then changed the topic in a panic: "Qingyang tribe...... Is it the friend that Uncle Sixth said he met when he was in Sanchuan? ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yuanli obviously didn't instill some bad knowledge into this niece, touched his chin and said, "That little girl is Amutu's youngest daughter, hey!" …… That stinky boy, who pushed left and right at the beginning, pretended to be, but this time he directly turned people back......"

The group talked and laughed, and Zhao Yuanli sent Princess Yulong to Suwang's Mansion.

Just when Princess Yulong was holding the wooden box containing a pair of bear paws and was about to give it to Zhao Hongrun as a gift, she found that there was chaos in King Su's mansion.

In the hall of the main house of the North House, the guards around Zhao Hongrun, such as Wei Jiao, Gao Kuo, and Chong Zhao, gathered in the hall, some with their arms crossed, and some walked back and forth, their faces full of anxiety, and they looked like six gods and no owner.

These people didn't even notice that Princess Yulong and Mi Rui had come to the hall.

"What's wrong, what's going on?"

Princess Yulong asked puzzled.

"Princess?" Several Zongwei heard the inquiry, only to find that Princess Yulong and Mi Rui had returned to Suwang's Mansion.

"Where's Hongrun? I have a gift for him. ”

Several Zong Wei looked at each other, and finally, Wei Jiao stubbornly said, "Your Highness, he ...... He was arrested by the Zongfu. ”

"Huh?"

Princess Yulong's pretty face was startled, and the wooden box in her hand accidentally slipped off, but fortunately, Mi Rui beside her was quick and took out the falling wooden box.

"Hongrun...... Hongrun is so dignified, how could he be arrested by the Huizong Mansion? ”

Princess Yulong asked anxiously. (To be continued.) )
