The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

At his age, Hong Zhao has a strong desire to win. Coincidentally, Na Ritai is only one year younger than him and is also at an age where she can easily compete.

Ever since she had a feud with Hong Zhao at the Buku competition, Naritai sent someone to inquire about his background as soon as she returned, preparing to compete with him in horse riding, archery and hunting the next day.

So when Hong Zhao was galloping on horseback with his brothers and sisters, he saw an arrow shot straight into a tree trunk not far in front of him, blocking his way.

When Hong Zhao turned around, he saw Naritai, dressed in a red riding suit and looking heroic, riding the chestnut Mongolian horse, galloping towards the light.

"Na Ritai? It's you again." Hong Zhao recognized her at the first sight.

"Whoa!" Nazhitailer held the reins, and her whole body was full of vigor and vitality like the rising sun, overflowing with pride.

"It's me, Hong Zhao. Didn't we agree on this yesterday? We're going to have another competition."

Hong Zhao didn't expect her to be so persistent, and he was also aroused by the desire to win: "Okay, tell me, what should we compete in? We agreed in advance that it's not Buku. I don't fight with girls."

Naritai sneered: "Coward! How about a horseback archery competition to see who can hunt the most prey!"

"Okay!" Hong Zhao tightened his grip on the bow and arrow stance behind him, "Let's compare this."

"The loser will be the puppy! He must lie on the ground and bark!"

Na Ritai persisted and kept on talking in a clear voice.

Hong Zhao pursed his lips: "Okay, I'm leaving!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and ran away. Hurry up! He didn't want to lose to this little girl!

If you lose, you have to learn from the puppy!

Don’t care about my face!

"Hey! Why are you running so fast!" Naritai hadn't finished her words when she saw Hong Zhao riding his horse. She immediately got angry, tightened the reins and rode into the woods.

"call out!"

Hong Zhao's aim was very good and he was very steady when shooting arrows. Unlike his usual mischievous appearance, he looked very steady.

In a short while, he shot two rabbits.

Hong Yan saw him looking for prey everywhere, very actively, and was wondering: "Hong Zhao, why are you so anxious?"

"I have to be impatient! Brother! Do you see any prey anywhere?"

Hong Yan pointed forward and said, "There seems to be a nest of little foxes over there."

"Okay, I'll go over first!" Hong Zhao rode his horse and went over there. Time was running out!

Hongyan was still confused, and Chen Zhihuai smiled and said on horseback: "It must be Na Ritai."

"Ah, these two." Hong Yan shook his head, turned to Chen Zhihuai and said, "Let's go run a few laps. My sister also said she wanted a fire fox fur to make a hat."

"Okay, let's go."

After a while...

"Hehe!" Hong Zhao just shot an arrow and hit the neck of a rabbit that was foraging, making it unable to move.

As he dismounted to get the rabbit, he muttered, "Why didn't I see that fox den?"

As soon as he hung the rabbit on the horse, he heard the "swish" sound of broken arrows and the sound of animals running around not far away. He knew it must be the fox den.

So, without saying anything, Hongzhao quickly jumped on his horse and followed the sound.

The more I ran, the more I felt something was wrong. This nest of foxes seemed a bit cunning, running around everywhere.

As a result, Hong Zhao, who was aiming, suddenly noticed some movement in the bushes not far away. He immediately loosened his hand and the arrow flew straight over.

But unlike the fox being shot through as imagined, it was instead a familiar, spoiled female voice.

"Ouch! Who is that blind person? He shot it onto my hat!"

Hong Zhao was stunned for a moment, thinking, "It's over." He wanted to run away at that moment, but after thinking about it, he decided to walk over.

As expected, Na Ritai had the arrow feathers on her hat and her face was full of anger: "Hong Zhao! It's you again!"

Hong Zhao's face turned red immediately. Fortunately, he didn't shoot anyone, otherwise it would have been a disaster.

However, my mother said that a real man should be able to bend and stretch, and admit his mistakes, so he patted his chest and raised his voice and said, "I didn't see it clearly, I was wrong!"

Na Ritai widened her beautiful eyes, with an incredulous look under her thick eyelashes: "You did something wrong and yet you are so self-righteous?!"

Hong Zhao saw that she had misunderstood, and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, it is indeed my fault. Tell me, what do you want me to do to make amends?"

Naritai stamped her feet angrily, plucked the arrow feathers off her hat, and threw them at his feet: "Luckily you shot me, if you hurt someone else, you should be fed to the wolves!"

Hongzhao bent down to pick up the arrow, and felt around his body. He found in his purse a Hetian jade crabapple ring that his mother had given him on his birthday last year. He liked it very much, and it had a layer of warm and shiny light on it, which showed that it was something he played with often.

"Here, this is for your apology."

Hong Zhao suppressed his heartache and reached out to hand it over.

Naritai stretched her head to take a look, took it without hesitation, and compared it to the sun: "This is not green enough! It's not as beautiful as our turquoise."

Hearing her disdainful tone, Hong Zhao immediately exploded: "Na Ritai! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! This is tribute! Do you understand tribute? It is presented to the palace from all over the country, and given to me by the Emperor! For the Emperor to use!"

Na Ritai was skeptical. The emperor used it? It must be quite valuable. This brat was thoughtful.

But seeing Hong Zhao's painful expression, Na Ri Tai felt a little embarrassed. She wasn't injured anyway, so she retreated: "Forget it, you can take it back. I'm fine anyway, you don't have to apologize."

Hong Zhao dodged immediately: "That won't do! If my sister and mother knew about this, they would definitely not let me off!"

"Okay, then I'll accept it reluctantly." Naritai put it into her pocket, took off a nine-treasure bracelet from her hand, and threw it over, right into Hongzhao's arms.

"This is our Mongolian Nine Treasures bracelet, which symbolizes good fortune, prosperity and peace. My Abu spent several years selecting this bracelet before giving it to me. Don't accuse me of taking advantage of you!"

After saying that, Naritai climbed onto the horse, counted their prey, and said proudly: "You only have three rabbits, and I have five. You lose, little dog. I have something else to do. Next time, you can learn to bark like a dog again!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Naritai waved her whip and galloped away, leaving a trail of dust behind.

During the days in Mongolia, the children went out for horse riding and hunting during the day and brought back a series of trophies at night.

Changning was getting tired of eating roasted rabbit meat these past two days, and he had also collected too many fox skins.

The spring hunting was finally coming to an end. The Mongolian princes had already retreated and were packing their luggage.

That night, Yinzhen was hugging her and telling stories to the child. Compared with Changning's own storybooks such as "Returning Princess Zhu" and "Love in the Rain", Yinzhen preferred to tell some military stories and Confucian and Legalist principles.

The results are obvious.

Changning slept very soundly.

Yinzhen was about to fall asleep holding her in his arms when he heard a sudden noise beside his ears.

"The fire is coming! The fire is coming! Run!"
