Mangosteen's bones were already about to fall apart, and when he heard this, he hurriedly smiled and thanked him, and without waiting for excuses, he pulled the star fruit away, causing several people to laugh.

Xiaoxue joked: "Sure enough, we have rough skin and thick meat, so we have to work harder." ”

Qiao Xiaoru smiled and said: "Those who can work hard, I have to work hard for you!" ”

Qiao Xiaoru slept very sweetly this night, if she hadn't been woken up, she was afraid that she would have to sleep soundly until dawn the next day.

Slowly opened his eyes, saw Lu Zhan smiling at him, and then glanced at the lit oil lamp in the room, Qiao Xiaoru couldn't help but rub his eyes and sat up, suddenly hugged Lu Zhan into his arms, and said with a smile: "You're back!" I didn't expect it to be dark. ”

Lu Zhan raised his hand and stretched out his arms, naturally hugged her, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the fear that you would be hungry in the middle of the night, I really didn't want to wake you up, the road was hard!" ”

"It's okay," Qiao Xiaoru buried her head in his arms and chuckled, "It's me who has fallen, and I can't stand this bit of suffering." ”

Lu Zhan couldn't help laughing, rubbed his chin lightly on her head, and said softly: "Daughter-in-law, you can be a little more depraved, I won't let you suffer anymore......"

Qiao Xiaoru snorted, buried her head in his arms, but couldn't help but hook her lips and laugh silently.

Holding her soft waist, the familiar faint fragrance lingered, although it was only separated for two or three days, but both of them had a feeling like three autumns.

He looked down, she looked up, and kissed her softly......

In the middle of the ring, Qiao Xiaoru got up, and after a simple wash, she asked her daughter, and Mangosteen replied with a smile that the young lady had already eaten egg custard and goat's milk, and she was playing on the kang in the wing room at this time.

He laughed and said that the king of the county still has the ability, but he got two goats with a lot of milk in advance from somewhere, which is enough for the young lady to eat for a while.

Lu Zhan didn't care, this is a hunting ground, there are not many others, and there are not many horses, cattle and sheep?

Qiao Xiaoru saw that her daughter was sitting on the soft quilt pillow and having fun, and went to dinner with Lu Zhan with a smile.

The star fruit had already taken the dinner, and the food box was kept warm through the hot water, and it was still steaming hot at this time.

The meal is simple, with a standard four-course meal and one soup: stir-fried river prawns with leeks, vinegared Chinese cabbage, stir-fried mushrooms, stewed bamboo shoots with chicken, and a bowl of mutton soup.

In the mutton soup, you can expect a large bowl of mutton, only three or five thinly sliced slices, and a thick layer of foamed green onions and coriander on the surface.

Although there is no meat in the mutton soup, the soup is very thick and snow-white, and the aroma of the broth and the aroma of green onions and coriander when served is very attractive.

Lu Zhan couldn't help but smile when he saw her looking at the mutton soup, didn't let Mangosteen move his hand and waved her hand to retreat, took a clean bowl and gave it to her personally, and said with a smile: "The beef and mutton here are very delicious, there is no fishy smell at all, you taste it!" ”

"Well, you drink too!" Qiao Xiaoru tasted it, and it was really delicious. I couldn't help but hold the bowl and smiled: "Actually, I think life here is very good, why are they all so miserable?" Sure enough, there is no harm if there is no comparison! Born with a golden spoon, brocade clothes and jade food are not necessarily all good things, which is also bitter. Our little moon, and the children who come after me, I don't want them to be like that. ”

Lu Zhan felt the same way, nodded and said, "Well, I think so too." ”

After saying that, Qiao Xiaoru approached and whispered: "Yesterday, the prince secretly asked someone to get a roast duck." Well, I really didn't expect that there is a roast duck and roast goose restaurant in this town, and I'm afraid that the business will be very good these days! ”

Qiao Xiaoru: "......"

"When does the hunt start? When the prey is hunted, aren't everyone allowed to eat it? Qiao Xiaoru couldn't help but ask curiously.

"How can it be so fast," Lu Zhan said with a smile: "When the people are gathered, the emperor orders the autumn hunting to begin, and the guards and hand-picked escorts will be arranged to drive the prey to the two established valleys, and then the real hunting will be carried out." This process will take at least seven days! Moreover, hunting focuses on practicing martial arts, not prey. Those prey, according to the practice left by the great grandfather, most of them were rewarded to the accompanying guards and the officers and soldiers who were mobilized to carry out defensive tasks, and the courtiers and princes could not catch much, but the meaning was just meaning. It is said that only in the two days before leaving, there will be a feast. ”

Qiao Xiaoru understood a little, this autumn hunt arranged by Emperor Taizu was not for hunting, but to toss this group of nobles.

After dinner, it was already dark outside.

Lu Zhan smiled and said: "The scenery here is not bad, it's okay these days, I can teach you to ride a horse!" I've seen a nice place, I'll take you there tomorrow, okay? ”

Qiao Xiaoru was naturally happy, nodded again and again and smiled: "Okay, when I learn, let's go a little farther away, okay?" Go on horseback. ”

Lu Zhan smiled dotingly, "The daughter-in-law said yes, that's naturally good!" ”

After a few days of not seeing, this night has its own bitter and short fun of spring night, and then they hugged each other and slept together, and the sky was bright in a blink of an eye.

In the morning, Lu Zhan inevitably went to Emperor Yonghe to ask for peace, and by the way, Qiao Xiaoru finished grooming and went to greet the queen.

It is estimated that the concubines who asked the queen to say goodbye have left, and Qiao Xiaoru took Xiaoshuang to the queen's residence.

As seen today, the queen also washed all the lead and changed into ordinary clothes, combed an ordinary wishful bun, and there was no jewel and jade decoration on the bun, but a simple and simple jade hairpin and silver hairpin.

looks at it, but it is still good and square, which is not comparable to ordinary women.

It lacks the noble dignity that is respectable and distant to be seen every day, and adds a bit of softness and approachability.

What Qiao Xiaoru didn't expect was that Concubine Xiao was still in the queen at this time, which was also an ordinary decoration, but the light in those beautiful eyes was still sharp, but it was a little more scathing.

Please Anbi, the queen smiled and said: "You are the first time you come back, are you still used to living?" ”

Qiao Xiaoru nodded and said with a smile: "Although the concubine is the first time to come here, it is not the first time to live in such a place, the concubine's home in the countryside is similar to this, it is cheap to say that the concubine is very used to it, and you don't need to get used to it." ”

The queen and others laughed.

Xiao Guifei covered her mouth with a handkerchief and giggled: "You kid is sincere!" But now that you are the princess of the county, you are not the same as before. In the future, it's better to learn more about how to be the princess of the county, and you should forget about the past. ”

Qiao Xiaoru smiled faintly and said: "What the concubine said is also reasonable, but the concubine's background is like that, but I can't forget it." ”

Xiao Guifei smiled: "Aren't you afraid of other people's jokes?" If it is rude and makes people laugh, not only you, but also the county king and the eldest princess's mansion, I am afraid that they will also lose their dignity. ”
