Chapter 199- The Family of Four Goes Hunting

"Ruiqi, Ruilin!" Zhangsun Hong waved to Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin from a distance with a smile on his face. He really asked Zhangsun He to find him a foal with brown fur. Although it was not as strong as the two white foals, it was also very strong. However, Zhangsun He wasn't at ease to let him sit on the horse alone and tied a rope around his waist with the other end of the rope in Zhangsun He's hand – it looked very funny.

Emperor Xiaohui burst into laughter; everyone else also could not restrain from laughing.

Zhangsun Hong's face turned red. After Chen Mufeng took him off his horse, he paid respect to Emperor Xiaohui in a good manner.

"Hong'er may rise. This foal is also very good." Emperor Xiaohui patted the foal on its back as he praised it.

Zhangsun Hong's face turned redder, but Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin didn't laugh at him – it made him feel better about these two good friends.

After the stipulated gathering time, everyone formally paid respect to Emperor Xiaohui.

With the victorious battle of Great Xia and the coming New Year, Emperor Xiaohui was in a good mood these days. He said with a smile, "During these three days of hunting, all of you should enjoy yourselves to the fullest. By the beginning of the monkey hour [3 p.m] in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, Zhen will greatly reward whoever hunted the most prey!"

The emperor's reward was not necessarily a very valuable thing, but it had a different significance – it was sort of a rare honor. Everyone made great efforts to win the first prize in the hunting competition. Especially for the young people without official rank, if they got the emperor's attention, they might get an official position.

Emperor Xiaohui put on his hunting suit and set out with his imperial bodyguards.

The empress and the three consorts who followed Emperor Xiaohui could only stay in the tent. Even Princess Duanning went hunting. Emperor Xiaohui and the empress were very concerned about this daughter. They wanted to take the opportunity to let her cultivate feelings with the Heir of the Martial God Marquis. Since there were so many followers, it would not be called private meetings.

Qin Mian and Lei Tie led their two sons after choosing a direction and spurred the horses into the distance.

Zhangsun Hong wanted to follow them; Zhangsun He and Chen Mufeng flanked him for protection. However, Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin's white foals were much faster than Zhangsun Hong's – they had run far not a while later. There were so many horseshoe marks on the ground that he couldn't find out which direction they had gone for a short time.

The imperial hunting ground was a place for the Imperial Clan to hunt and have fun. The game inside was specially put in by the person in charge of the hunting ground. There were no beasts such as tigers, leopards, and wolves. The most dangerous one was probably wild boar, but it was not too big. The rest were small games such as wild sheep, sika deer, hare, pheasant, and fox. To let everyone enjoy themselves to the fullest, there was a lot of prey.

Qin Mian's family of four had not gone far away when Qin Mian and Lei Tie found a fat hare behind the snowy grass. The couple tacitly agreed to give the opportunity to their sons.

Qin Mian whispered, "Ruiqi, Ruilin."

Qin Ruiqi always gave consideration to his Didi, "Ruilin, you do it."

Lei Ruilin nodded without a sound and spurred his horse forward. Unfortunately, because of his inexperience, the little horse moved too much. When the hare heard the sound, it was startled – it jumped up and ran far away.
