This sudden change frightened everyone present, especially the unsuspecting young masters, whose faces turned pale with fear. Even the horses they rode became restless because of the fright, neighing constantly and kicking their hooves wildly.

Faced with such a thrilling and terrifying scene, Gu Huaiyuan tried hard to suppress his inner fear, forcing himself to remain calm, and shouted loudly: "Everyone calm down, don't lose your composure!"

Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. Although Gu Huaiyuan tried his best to stabilize the situation, the sudden appearance of the tiger still plunged the scene into chaos.

Seeing this, the guards who were in charge of the protection did not dare to delay for a moment. They rushed towards the group of flustered young masters, waving their weapons, and tried to use their bodies to build a solid line of defense to protect them from the harm of the beasts.

Gu Huaiyuan stood still, staring at the thrilling scene in front of him with wide eyes, and a deep feeling of regret involuntarily welled up in his heart.

He wondered to himself how he could have acted so impulsively.

He had never considered the huge dangers hidden in this hunting ground!

Just as he was immersed in self-blame, a majestic and familiar figure suddenly came into view - it was the current emperor!

The emperor appeared not far away with a nimble figure, staring at the ferocious tiger with eyes as sharp as an eagle.

In a flash, the emperor drew the bowstring without hesitation, put on the arrow, and instantly let go of the string. A feather arrow rushed out like lightning and hit the tiger's thick neck accurately.

The severely injured tiger let out a deafening roar, and the severe pain made it roll and struggle frantically on the ground.

However, this did not bring any fear to the people around him.

Seeing this, the other guards quickly seized this excellent opportunity and rushed forward like a tide. Holding spears and short swords, they worked closely together and launched a fierce attack on the tiger.

After a fierce fight, they finally succeeded in subduing the tiger to the ground.

With the successful conclusion of the hunting activity, everyone returned to the camp happily with their rich prey.

The emperor sat in front of the tent, examining everyone's harvest with a smile on his face.

As his gaze swept over the children of the Gu Mansion, a look of satisfaction crossed his face, and he began to praise, "Every one of you has performed exceptionally well today, and I especially want to commend these children of the Gu Mansion! Although this is your first time participating in a hunt, you have displayed extraordinary courage and boldness. This is truly commendable and you deserve a reward!"

When the children of the Gu family heard this, their faces were filled with proud smiles. After this hunt, they not only gained prey, but also gained growth and courage.

Princess Anyang stood in front of the tent, watching the children slowly returning on horseback from afar.

Her heart, which had been hanging in the air as she clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, finally settled down like a huge rock. After the children dismounted and listened to what the emperor said, they trotted into the tent.

As soon as they entered the tent, they could not contain their excitement and joy, and could not wait to tell Princess Anyang and Princess Lin about the thrilling journey of this hunting trip.

The children were seen dancing and excitedly describing every thrilling moment, from how they keenly discovered the traces of prey hidden in the grass at the beginning, to how they galloped on horseback fearlessly and started a fierce chase, and finally to their cheers when they worked together to successfully capture the prey.

They described the whole process so vividly that people felt as if they were actually there.

Princess Anyang sat on the couch, listening to the children's narration with a smile on her face. Sometimes she frowned slightly because of the tense plot, and sometimes she laughed heartily at the children's innocent words.

Seeing the children so excited, she felt extremely relieved and whispered, "You performed very well on this hunt! Not only did you hone your courage and skills, but you also brought honor to our Gu Mansion. But remember, if you encounter similar dangers in the future, you must first ensure your own safety and never act rashly."

"Got it, Grandma!"

As the eldest son and grandson of the third generation of the Gu family, Gu Huaiyuan is still young, but he has received a strict education since childhood and is already quite calm.

At this time, his face was solemn, and he nodded seriously and responded to Princess Anyang's instructions.

The other children nearby also echoed this, saying that they would definitely listen to the teachings of their elders.

At this time, Princess Anyang added, "You little ones, you must never abandon your guards and act alone like you did today! You must know that this enclosure is full of dangers, and many ferocious beasts lurk in its depths. Especially recently, there have been so many hunters. If the beasts smell a human, they might suddenly rush out to hunt and harm you. So, no matter where you are, you must remain vigilant and never let your guard down!"

Princess Anyang, her face filled with worry, kept repeating, "I'm so worried. These little ones of ours are so bold! If anything goes wrong, how am I going to explain it to my two precious sons?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but frown slightly, her eyes full of worry.

Princess Lin, standing nearby, also had a solemn expression on her face. She warned with an extremely serious expression, "Listen up, you little brats! Just watch from afar. If anyone dares to go in and play, I'll punish him! If he gets his ass chopped off, don't blame me for not warning you in advance!"

She put her hands on her hips and glanced at every child sharply, as if anyone who dared to disobey would be severely punished immediately.

When the children saw the adults’ serious expressions, how could they dare to have any disobedience in their hearts?

They nodded obediently and said, "Got it! Grandma, and Second Aunt (or Mother)! We will definitely be good and obedient!"

Each of them was like a docile little lamb, standing still and not daring to even breathe.

Looking at the group of cute and well-behaved children in front of them, Princess Anyang and Commandery Lady Lin smiled at each other at the same time, and the big stone hanging in their hearts finally fell.

At this moment, the sun has gradually set and the sky is getting darker. It is indeed getting late.

Princess Anyang then turned her head slightly and said softly to the maid who had been standing quietly beside her, "Go and serve the meal."

The maid nodded slightly in response, then left quickly with light steps.

On the other side, the Duke of Protectorate led his two sons and followed closely behind the emperor.

As subjects, their duties were not only to be at the emperor's disposal at any time, but more importantly to ensure the emperor's safety.

Therefore, naturally, only Princess Anyang, Princess Lin and the group of innocent children were left in the Gu family's tent.

Soon, the sumptuous dinner was served one by one. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law invited the children to sit around the table and start enjoying this delicious dinner.

During the banquet, there was constant laughter and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Princess Anyang stood up and told her servants to bring the prepared hot water into the tent so that the children could wash up and rest early.

You know, tomorrow there will be an exciting, exciting and thrilling grand hunting event waiting for them!

When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning pierces the inky night before dawn, the daytime in summer always comes especially early.

Before long, the sky was turning pale and the morning light was gently shining on the earth.

At this time, the servants in the camp had already been busy. They began to prepare a rich and delicious breakfast with quick hands and feet.

The guards responsible for maintaining security carried out the change of shifts in an orderly manner to ensure that the entire camp was always under strict protection.

As for those high-ranking ministers and the extremely noble Emperor, they naturally would not go to the public area to eat.

They each enjoyed a delicious breakfast leisurely in their own luxurious tent.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they did not rush to get up and move around, but took a short rest.

After about a cup of tea, everyone stood up one after another and began to prepare for the fierce hunt that was about to begin with full energy.

After the official start order was given, the loud and passionate sound of the horn resounded through the sky again like thunder. This sound seemed to be the prelude to the battle, instantly igniting the enthusiasm and fighting spirit deep in people's hearts.

Everyone moved in unison, quickly jumping onto their horses. Holding well-made bows and arrows in their hands, they galloped towards the vast hunting ground like a group of warriors about to go to war.

The children of the Gu family were not to be outdone. They followed closely behind the experienced guards, each of them eager to try, with an excitement that was hard to conceal in their eyes.

Although these children are still young, they have shown extraordinary courage and determination at this moment.

They held the reins tightly, their bodies rising and falling slightly with the rhythm of the galloping horses under their crotch, as if they had become one with the horses under them.

Everyone's heart is filled with eager anticipation for the upcoming hunting activities, eager to show their skills in this grand adventure.

When everyone entered the hunting ground, they saw a vibrant scene. The lush vegetation spread out like a green ocean, dotted with colorful flowers. The breeze blew by, bringing bursts of fresh and pleasant fragrance.

From time to time, a few colorful birds would fly overhead, making clear and melodious chirping sounds; and those clever and cute hares, cunning and agile foxes and various other small and exquisite animals would quickly shuttle through the grass, either foraging and playing, or vigilantly observing the movements around them.

At this moment, Gu Huaiyuan, with his extraordinary eyesight and keen insight, was the first to discover a hare with bright fur.

The hare was seen leisurely nibbling on the grass, completely unaware that danger was quietly approaching.

In a flash, Gu Huaiyuan pulled out a sharp arrow without hesitation, quickly put it on the bowstring, and then pulled the bowstring with all his strength.

In an instant, the bowstring was taut, the arrow flashed with cold light, ready to be fired.

Then he released his fingers, and the arrow shot out like lightning, rushing straight towards the hare.

However, the hare was obviously no ordinary creature. It seemed to have sensed the threat from Gu Huaiyuan at the first moment.

Just when the arrow was about to hit the target, the hare dodged with amazing speed and cleverly avoided the sharp arrow.

The arrow flew past the hare's fur and finally penetrated deeply into the ground beside it.

Faced with this unexpected situation, Gu Huaiyuan was not discouraged at all.

On the contrary, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile.

He gently clamped the horse's belly and kicked his legs hard. The horse under him immediately understood his master's intention, spread its four hooves, and galloped towards the direction of the fleeing hare at lightning speed. A thrilling chase began.

Gu Huaining was wearing a light pink riding suit and sitting gracefully on a snow-white and extremely docile pony, walking side by side with several sisters who were equally beautiful.

While they were talking in low voices, they scanned the edge of the hunting ground with their beautiful eyes, hoping to find some desired prey.

Suddenly, a small and exquisite deer came into their sight.

The little deer's fur was light yellow, dotted with white spots, like a blooming daisy.

Especially those big eyes that are as lively as water, so clear and transparent that they seem to be able to reflect the blue of the entire sky.

Coupled with its gentle and slightly timid appearance, it makes people feel pity and love for it.

However, although he was full of love for this cute little deer in his heart, the hunting instinct still surged in Gu Huaining's blood.

She took a deep breath, slowly pulled out an exquisite longbow from her back, gently placed her right hand on the bowstring, then narrowed her left eye and slowly aimed the arrow at the deer.

Just as she was about to release her fingers and shoot the arrow, the keen deer seemed to sense the threat of death.

It suddenly raised its head, and its eyes happened to meet Gu Huaining's.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze. When their eyes met, Gu Huaining clearly saw the fear and pleading in Xiaolu's eyes.

Her heart suddenly felt like it was hit hard by something, and her originally firm determination began to waver.

The bow and arrow held tightly in his hand was shaking with the slight trembling of his arm, as if it might fall to the ground at any time.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Gu Huaining still couldn't bear to shoot the innocent deer.

So, she sighed softly, slowly put down the bow and arrow in her hand, and said softly: "This little deer is so cute, I really can't bear to hurt it."

After saying that, she gently patted the pony's neck, signaling it to continue moving forward and stay away from this place that might bring danger to the fawn.

When the other sisters saw this, although they felt a little regretful, they also nodded in agreement.

After all, who could really be cruel to such a lovable creature?

However, this seemingly ordinary hunting activity was not as smooth as people expected.

As everyone gradually went deeper into the vast hunting ground, the originally sparse trees began to become increasingly dense, as if forming a natural barrier that completely blocked people's sight.

Not only that, the terrain under our feet has become increasingly complex and changeable, with ups and downs, potholes and uneven terrain, making walking extremely difficult.

As the sun sets, the hunting activity draws to a close. Everyone returns to the imperial farm with their trophies, their faces filled with satisfied smiles.

The emperor summarized the hunting activity, rewarded those who performed well, and expressed his satisfaction with everyone's safe return.

Although the children of the Gu family did not hunt any particularly precious prey, they trained themselves through this activity and gained courage and growth.
