After a while, Ye Heng came back and told everyone to sit on the high platform. The men and women who participated in the hunt took their weapons and left together. Ye Heng held Xiao Ba in his arms and pushed the cart with three babies in it. Chai Zhen and other old people walked behind, supported by the young people. Ye Heng led everyone onto the high platform. The emperor was already sitting on the main seat on the platform. When he saw Ye Heng and his family coming, he stood up with a smile and greeted them! "Hello, Duke Zhenguo!" Chai Zhen knelt slowly, but the emperor didn't let him kneel, so he hurried.

Chai Zhen: "Your Majesty, hello! I am honored to meet you." The emperor: "Good, sit down, sit down. No need to be polite." The emperor saw Mr. Chai and said, "Hello, Mr. Chai!" Mr. Chai bowed and said, "Long live the emperor!" The emperor: "Good, everyone is hello, sit down, please sit down!" Ye Heng also said, "Everyone, please sit down. The hunting activity is about to begin!"

Duke Huo and Duke Lu were both here, along with the six ministers and other high officials, all sitting in their designated seats. The Chai family sat on the Queen's side, while the ministers sat on the Emperor's other side. The Crown Prince sat next to the Emperor, and the Crown Princess sat next to the Queen. Then came Li Jingwen, Chai Zhen, and Old Man Chai. The women and children of the Chai family, including Ye Heng, didn't sit, so he stayed with the women to take care of them. The ministers' wives sat in the back, all in the second row. When people saw that the long-missing Grand Tutor Li had arrived, they were shocked and amazed! They were talking about it, whispering about something.

The eunuch served tea and stood by. The Emperor spoke, "Today marks the beginning of Dayan's annual hunting event. Both men and women are welcome to participate, and there will be prizes for both sexes." With that, the Emperor sat down. The Minister of Rites presided over the announcement of the prizes, and participants went to the registration desk below the stage to sign up. The five-day hunting event began today!

The registration area was packed with men and women. Young men from various families were dressed neatly in their riding attire, looking very energetic! Daughters of wealthy families looked here, searching for their favorites. Many women came to sign up to participate in the hunting activities. Women from official families all knew how to ride and hunt.

Xuyao: "Mom, I want to go too. I've been practicing martial arts for over a year now, and I know archery and horseback riding." Wang Xiaomin was still worried because they only knew a little bit and didn't know much. "Ask your aunt if it's okay. Mom has no objection." "Okay." She whispered, "Aunt, Xuyao ​​also wants to participate in the hunting activity? Mom asked me to ask you if it's okay?" Guoguo said without thinking, "Don't you know martial arts? Sure, let's see who else in our family wants to participate and sign up together! Have fun!" Xuyao ​​was very happy, "I knew my aunt would agree, hahaha!" Chai En came over from behind and asked who wanted to participate and to sign up together. All the men in the Chai family wanted to participate, even Xiaochen said he wanted to go. Guoguo looked at them and said, "Okay, but you can't run alone, you have to follow your brother." Xiaochen: "I know, big sister." "Let's all go. Be careful." Ye Heng also said, "Go, I'll arrange for people to protect you!"

Xiaotian was also eager to go, "I want to go too." Guoguo: "Go."

The Chai family had only a few daughters, Xuyao. Fu Zhaoxia whispered, "Guoguo, I want to go too." "Do you know martial arts?" Fu Zhaoxia chuckled confidently, "Yes, I practice every day." "Okay, let's go." Fu Zhaoxia happily stood up and left. She trotted off to catch up with her family. Jiale followed suit. Chai Zhen listened and watched without saying a word. If their family wanted to go, they could go. Fengxing was always there, and Father Chai was reassured.

Ye Heng: "Grandpa, don't worry! I'll have someone follow to protect my family." "Yeah, don't worry."

Ma Yuru: "Sister Guoguo, I want to go too." Guoguo said with a grin, "Go! Run and catch up with them." "Okay." Her eyes lit up! Run to catch up! Guoguo said to her aunt beside her with a smile, "Aunt, prepare the betrothal gifts. My two brothers are going to get married this time! You don't have to worry about them not being able to find wives." Wang Min smiled and said, "Okay, I'm here to do something for them this time! Hehehe!" Chai Ping'an: "It's time. We're not young anymore."

The family didn't say much, they all knew the situation and looked at the audience. Wang Xiaomin: "It's so lively here!" Drinking the tea she brought with her. Guoguo: "Yeah. It's like a sports competition!" Wang Xiaomin looked at the lively people, all riding tall horses, majestic and heroic! "Yeah. This can be regarded as a disguised ability competition."

After a while, someone came to inform Ye Heng and said, "You can participate from the first day, and every day. Anyone who wants to participate can do so. Just sign up every day, and it will start soon." "Well, go down and keep an eye on it." The subordinate said, "Yes, Your Highness." and turned and left.

Guoguo: "It's about to begin!" Yeheng: "Yes."

In the audience, the Chai family, both men and women, stood together. Guoguo watched, and thought the Chai family was a feast for the eyes. Wang Xiaomin also saw them, all sitting on horses, wearing riding clothes, the women beautiful and the men handsome! The emperor also saw them and said, "Grandpa Chai, your family is so beautiful! Every one of them is so beautiful!"

Chai Zhen stood up and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!" The emperor laughed heartily. Seeing that each team was almost there, the Minister of Rites stood on the high platform and shouted, "The hunting competition begins!" The chess piece in his hand swayed, "Start!" A long voice shouted "Start!" Some people have already run out on horseback! They are all in teams. Xuyao: "They are all family teams!" Chai En: "Yes, you can also form a team. Several families form a team. We have a large family, so we didn't form a team with others." "Yes, this is it." Chai Ye greeted, "Hello! My name is Chai Ye, and I am the grandson of my great-grandfather! Hehe!" Xuyao ​​smiled and said, "My name is Chai Xuyao, hello to you too. Good luck in the competition!" Chai Ye: "Yes." He laughed and showed his white teeth. Xuyao ​​whispered, "What a cute, sunny boy!" Chai En looked at Chai Ye and said, "I'm cute and sunny too, Xuyao." Xuyao ​​laughed, "Yes, you are cute, our family is about to set off too!" Huanhuan shouted, "Everyone in the Chai family, listen up, safety first, tell us if there is anything. Don't fall behind, follow closely, let us go." He was the first to spur his horse and ran out.

After all, the Chai Jingren had been on the battlefield and the moment he ran out on horseback, the momentum he exuded was different! Many noble ladies saw it. Their eyes lit up, and someone said, "I heard that the Chai family is looking for a bride!" "Yeah, I know. The Chai family is good, but they have no foundation. Many families look down on the Chai family, just farmers who have just made a fortune, mud legs."

Lady Huo was thinking to herself, "The Chai family are good people, they don't have concubines, and their backyard is clean." She was thinking of asking her own concubine, but she wasn't sure if the Chai family would be willing to have a child out of wedlock. It's not that she hadn't thought about it over the years, but she just didn't dare to say it. Their concubine only had one child, and she was quite good, sensible, and a good girl. As she got older, the Duke wanted to find a good child, since there weren't many children in the family. She thought about asking when she got home, but smiled faintly and said nothing.

Everyone quickly left the area. On the platform, the emperor said, "Go back to your tents and rest! It's still early for them to return!" The ministers stood up, knelt, and said, "Thank you, Lord!" The emperor led the way, followed closely by the empress, taking her son with her. The crown princess also returned with her child. Ye Heng took care of the Chai family as they returned to their tents. Many of the ladies were still sitting on the platform, chatting and talking.

Guoguo: "Sister-in-law, let's go back." "Okay." Guoguo supported her. Ye Heng took care of the children. There were many women in the family. Wang Min held one, Zhang Baohua held one, and Li Ru held one, and they went back together.

Li Dong's family didn't come. Li Dong was too busy to come, so Guo Guo took over the job, making woodworking equipment and sugar-making tools.

Guoguo's family returned to the tent and entered the space. They drank tea and chatted. A guard came to announce, "The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have arrived. Guoguo came out to greet them and asked a few people to come out." Xiahua took the child and held her, inviting everyone to sit. A few older children came out and started playing. Xiahua said, "Ruirui, play with these children." Guoguo said, "Go ahead. Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, Sibao, take your younger brother to play." "Yes, mother." Huangbao said, "Little Ruirui, I'm your older brother. I held you when you were little." Little Ruirui said, "I'm your older brother. I know. Father said so." Huangbao took Ruirui's hand and led them into another tent to play.

Ye Heng: "Xiaodong, why don't you go hunting?" Xiaodong laughed and said, "I won't go when I grow up." Ye Heng shook his head, "You are still young, not big. In the eyes of the emperor's uncle, you are still a child. Let's go play tomorrow." Xiaodong's eyes brightened and he said, "Okay." Chai Yan knew Xiaodong's past and wanted to accompany him, "I will go hunting and riding with you too." Xiaodong

He said loudly, "Okay." Guoguo also said, "I'll help you look after the child. I'm the best at looking after children." Xiaoyan'er: "Yes, Guoguo is the most talented. I feel most at ease leaving the child to you." Ye Heng laughed. "Let's go and have fun. It's a rare activity. Let's relax!" Xiaodong: "Yeah, yeah." Guoguo: "I'll go too. I'm not bad at martial arts either. I'll go with everyone tomorrow." Ye Heng: "Okay, I'll accompany you!" Xiaodong: "Okay, it's been a long time since I played with you guys. Let's go!"

The Emperor didn't want to be disturbed, so he and the Empress watched the children and played. At noon, he sent someone to bring the imperial meal to Ye Heng, but he didn't show up. Since the place was small, everyone ate in their own tent.
