Chapter 344

The hunting ground is in the mountains 100 kilometers away from the palace.

This kind of mountain forest is not particularly remote, let alone wild insects. In the so-called hunting ground, the prey is put in advance, so that the prey can run all over the mountain, and the hunters can ride and shoot in it.

Otherwise, if there are wild insects, it is not safe. The princes and daughters are all precious. How can they take this risk? Not everyone is Wusong.

There is a palace at the foot of the forest. The emperor, his beloved concubines and princes live in it, while the ministers live in the tent that has been set up outside.

The tents are dense, like a large outdoor camp.

Ye Xiaoxian has been trapped in the palace for so long. Now she is outdoors, and her mood is much better.

However, she came with the empress dowager, so she must live with the Empress Dowager.

After getting out of the carriage, he was supported by a group of palace maids and eunuchs into the palace and arrived at a room prepared early in the morning.

The room is like a small suite. The Empress Dowager lives in the inner room and ye Xiaoxian lives in the outer room. Even the charcoal fire has been prepared here. It's not cold to come in. After taking off their coats, the waitresses bring tea and snacks, saying that it's about an hour before dinner.

After a day's journey, the Empress Dowager looked very tired. She had to go in and have a rest soon.

And ye Xiaoxian has been worried about xiaobaoshan. She doesn't know when he will come.

She wanted to go out and have a look, but she was stopped by the old mother.

"Princess Ningyuan, it's not time to go out now. It's cold outside, and your bones are good. You should rest."

Ye Xiaoxian had to give up.

This palace is very big and easy to get lost. In addition, she saw it when she first came. There are many tents outside. Where does she know which one is from xiaobaoshan?

I have eight days here. I always have a chance to see xiaobaoshan.

……

The next day, the royal family will prepare for the opening ceremony of winter hunting.

Early in the morning, ye Xiaoxian was awakened by the maids, then washed and combed her hair, simply had breakfast, and then went out with the Empress Dowager.

The Royal opening ceremony is naturally more grand than the animal opening ceremony of Tianshan tribe. There are drums and music here. It sounds very exciting.

Out of the palace, you can see many royal people waiting outside.

The royal family and important officials have their own chairs, while other officials stand.

Ye Xiaoxian saw xiaobaoshan at a glance in the crowd. He was tall and tall, standing out of the crowd.

Xiao Baoshan was also looking at her. She smiled at him and he nodded to her.

With the Empress Dowager's death, the treatment has also improved a lot. When the Empress Dowager comes, both the royal family and those ministers have to salute the Empress Dowager.

Ye Xiaoxian didn't know much about etiquette. After others saluted the empress dowager, she didn't seem to have made any mistakes.

Among the royal family, she only knew the queen. Even the emperor saw her for the first time, so she didn't talk to anyone.

However, many people were surprised when they saw Ye Xiaoxian.

They had been curious about the newly sealed "Ningyuan Princess", and now they found that ye Xiaoxian looked very much like the empress dowager, so they didn't know the real intention of the Empress Dowager for a time.

Do you really like the princess who looks like her, or is it just used to threaten xiaobaoshan?

……

Ye Xiaoxian followed the Empress Dowager to their seats.

She found that although the Empress Dowager was mean and lazy in the palace, there was a posture of Fengyi in the crowd, dignified and inviolable.

Walking behind her, ye Xiaoxian really felt that she was her little daughter and was protected by her.

After everyone sat down, the winter hunting ceremony began.

Emperor Li Chengkun picked up the bow and arrow and shot the first arrow into the sky. Then a eunuch shouted at his throat, "the winter hunting ceremony officially begins."

Then the drum rang again, and there were other Qin music. A group of soldiers rushed out and performed a dance step similar to hunting.

The scene was deafening and startled a large group of mountain birds.

Ye Xiaoxian was stunned.

The ceremony lasted about half an hour and was over.

Then the emperor left his position and mounted his horse. Other people who wanted to participate in the hunting also found their horses one by one.

Finally, the emperor took the lead and led the people to set out in the mountains and forests.

For a time, the dust was flying, the sound of horses' hoofs was intermittent, and the scene was very vast.

After they entered the mountain, there were only a group of women and some old ministers left.

Women who don't enter the mountain can wander around or go back to the palace to rest.

But women rarely get together, how can they miss this opportunity? So, a group of people guarding the queen began to get together again to chat and drink tea.

Ye Xiaoxian doesn't want to go back to the palace. She just wants to hang out and see if she can find xiaobaoshan.

Although xiaobaoshan has rode into the mountain, ye Xiaoxian knows that he will come back to her.

However, when they meet, they must be agreed by the Empress Dowager.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager did not return to the palace immediately. After the people dispersed, she said to Ye Xiaoxian, "do you want to go around with AI family? AI family knows that the surrounding scenery is excellent and suitable for viewing. It happens that you haven't been out of the palace for a long time."

"Good!" Ye Xiaoxian said without thinking.

When the Empress Dowager turned around, a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

Ye Xiaoxian's careful thinking of looking left and right, how can she not understand?

The queen and a group of officials wanted to pull Ye Xiaoxian over to chat and eat melon seeds. They vaguely heard about ye Xiaoxian in the Empress Dowager's palace and wanted to see how ye Xiaoxian was tortured. They could only stop when they saw that ye Xiaoxian had been with the Empress Dowager.

……

The scenery around the hunting ground is really good. There is a lake at the foot of the mountain. It's winter, but it's not snowing yet. There are many dead willows and some yellow maple trees by the lake. A large yellow is reflected in the middle of the lake, which is very beautiful.

The Empress Dowager led Ye Xiaoxian along the lake. They didn't talk, they just talked.

Some officials who don't go hunting lead their families around the lake. When they see the empress dowager, they will salute and greet Princess Ye Xiaoxian.

After another period of walking, ye Xiaoxian suddenly heard the sound of horses' hoofs behind her. She was a little excited and had some premonitions.

Could it be xiaobaoshan?

She restrained her excitement and turned around. When she saw the tall man, she couldn't help shouting excitedly: "Baoshan!"

Xiaobao mountain came to the forest and rode back.

As long as he asks where the Empress Dowager is, he can find Ye Xiaoxian. Some people said that the Empress Dowager had gone to the lake, so he quickly drove his horse to the lake.

Sure enough, I saw the leaves!

He thought about people day and night for months!

Xiao Baoshan tightened the reins. After coming down from the horse, he went to the Empress Dowager first, greeted the empress dowager, and then looked at Ye Xiaoxian with affectionate eyes.

Ye Xiaoxian looked at xiaobaoshan with the same affection.

If the Empress Dowager had not been present, if it had not been for the ancient etiquette, they would have been together now.

The Empress Dowager went to Ye Xiaoxian and asked, "are you Xiao Shilang, the one who went to fight in the north?"

Xiao Baoshan said, "the Empress Dowager is the lower official."

Then he looked at Ye Xiaoxian again.

Ye Xiaoxian smiled at him and he smiled at her.

The Empress Dowager said, "you two flirt in front of the mourning family. When the mourning family is away, isn't it?"

Xiao Baoshan said again, "I don't mean that. I just haven't seen my wife for a long time. I miss her very much."

The Empress Dowager smiled, Again: "Sure enough, I love my wife so much that they all came here. To tell you the truth, your wife AI looks very fond of her, so she stayed in the palace for a few more days. Since you all say you miss each other, if you don't let you get along alone, it will appear that AI doesn't understand people. Well, AI allows you two to walk around nearby, but Princess Ningyuan is AI Family, you have to send her back to the mourning house later. "

Ye Xiaoxian couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Baoshan also said, "thank you, Empress Dowager."

With that, he came forward and took Ye Xiaoxian's hand. They saluted the Empress Dowager again, and then went in another direction by the lake.

The Empress Dowager stood in place and looked at Xiao Baoshan, holding the horse in one hand and the leaves in the other. In the morning light, the scene in front of her was like a beautiful picture scroll.

It turned out that the man was xiaobaoshan.

When she had never seen xiaobaoshan before, the Empress Dowager thought xiaobaoshan was a wild man. When she came to the mountain, she could only fight. But now she saw that her son-in-law was a good-looking man, good-looking, polite and extremely gentle to leaves.

No wonder Ye is willing to die for him.

Just let them get together first.

……

"Baoshan, aren't you going hunting? Why are you back?" Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baoshan talked as they walked.

Xiao Baoshan said, "the reason why I came here was that a friend in the officialdom said that you might come, so I took a chance. I didn't expect to see you."

"That's a coincidence. I thought you might come, so I followed the Empress Dowager out." Ye Xiaoxian smiled.

Xiao Baoshan asked anxiously, "did the Empress Dowager do to you?"

"No!" Ye Xiaoxian turned around in front of xiaobaoshan: "look, I'm not good. I haven't done anything at all."

Trauma can't be seen. Now she has no problem walking, so she doesn't want Xiao Baoshan to worry about herself.

Xiao Baoshan clenched her hand, took another breath and said, "do you know how worried I am about you? Although you are smart, your intelligence can only be used in the right way. If you face those traitors, you may... Alas, I heard that there are many means in the palace. I'm afraid you won't protect yourself."

"Don't worry, of course I will protect myself. You see, I'm not afraid of escaping before. I'll live well in the end. I can live well this time." Ye Xiaoxian pretended to be indifferent.

Xiao Baoshan was still distressed: "when you are in the palace, it's like being in a cage surrounded by beasts. How can I not worry?"
