Shaohua is Junqing

Yan Haiyun came to King Chen with a glass of wine.

"Your Highness."

Beitang Mo Ran just nodded slightly and said nothing.

"Princess Shaohua."

"Young Master Yan." Siyu stood up.

"I offer a toast to the princess."

"I don't drink alcohol, so I'll offer tea to Mr. Xiaoyan instead."

Beitang Mo Ran seemed a little unhappy with Yan Haiyun's arrival. He just drank by himself and looked unhappy.

Yan Haiyun noticed it and was about to leave, "Young Master Yan," Siyu called him.

"What's the matter, Princess?"

"Young Master Xiaoyan is good at polo, so he must know some martial arts. Will you go hunting?"

"Will do."

"Then Shaohua wishes Young Master Xiaoyan good results."

"Thank you, Princess."

After the dinner, the accompanying ministers returned to their respective tents.

Siyu finds Beitang Mo Ran.

"My Lord, can you send someone else to protect me?"

"Why, did General Chu do something wrong?"

"No, she is very conscientious, but if she protects me, she will not be able to participate in the hunt, so I want the prince to send someone else to protect me so that General Chu can participate in the hunt."

"You are quite considerate of others. I know about this and I will think about it carefully."

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

On the second day, the hunt officially began.

The young masters of the major families all wore military uniforms, with arrows on their backs and longbows in their hands. Yan Haiyun was among them. Today he looked even more heroic than on the day of the polo match.

"Boom, boom, boom." A deafening drumbeat rang out.

"Woo, woo, woo." A deep and low horn sounded.

With the sound of drums and horns, the nobles mounted their horses and rode towards the woods. Several other soldiers rode into the woods, beating gongs to wake up the animals in the woods so that the hunters could shoot them.

After all the participants in the hunt entered the woods, the drums and horns stopped. Soon, the sound of arrows breaking through the air and the cries of animals could be heard in the woods. In order to distinguish, everyone's arrows were marked. The first person to hunt an animal was the son of Lord Wang, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, who hunted a hare. Then other people hunted animals one after another, including pheasants, musk deer, and fawns, but no larger animals were hunted. The morning passed quickly, which also meant that the hunt for the day was over. There were special people responsible for recording how many animals each person hunted and what animals they hunted. When the hunt was over, they would be counted uniformly.

Pheasants and hares were distributed directly to those who hunted them, the fawns were released after simple treatment, and the musk deer were kept in cages.

The hunting continued on the third day. The first person to hunt an animal was Yan Haiyun, and he was the person who hunted the most animals that day. In addition to pheasants and hares, he also hunted a goat and a wolf.

"Mr. Xiaoyan, your archery skills are very good. You have hunted the largest number of animals today, including a wolf." Siyu praised.

"Your Excellency is too kind. I was just lucky."

"Keep going, maybe you'll win in the end."

"I don't dare to think about that. There are many people who are better archers and have stronger abilities than me. I just try my best to do my best. No matter what the result is, at least I have tried my best and I have no regrets."

"Well said. I will offer tea instead of wine to Master Xiaoyan."

"Thank you, Princess."

After the hunting ended that day, Beitang Mo Ran called Chu Shengnan to his tent.

"The princess told me in person that she wanted you to participate in the hunt, so I have sent someone else to protect the princess's safety. General Chu can participate in the hunt tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Princess."

"Okay, go back and prepare. I hope you can achieve good results and live up to the princess's expectations."

"Yes, I will do my best. I will take my leave now."
