"This... I went to Nanhe Wharf to receive the goods." Li Yin suddenly replied with a flash of inspiration in his mind.
Cui Yingying glanced suspiciously at Li Yin's face, "Nanhe Wharf?"
"That's right, didn't I tell you to prepare snacks for the Chinese New Year? Actually, the goods arrived today, and I planned to give you a surprise." Li Yin suddenly looked heartbroken, "I didn't expect you to suspect that I was outside Raised a house of concubines, hey..."
Li Yin's acting was so vivid that it frightened Cui Yingying. She immediately put away her questioning eyes, which turned into guilt in an instant, and said, "Your Highness, it was Yingying who misunderstood you."
Secretly heaving a sigh of relief, Li Yin thought that he had escaped the catastrophe, and said generously: "Forget it, let's not talk about it, let's eat." Li Yin was indeed a little hungry, looking at the mutton soup on the table, drooling Well, Zhang San is a cook, and he can be taught. The dishes he cooks are becoming more and more modern.
Cui Yingying nodded, said: "Yes!", picked up the chopsticks, and said casually: "Your Highness, the goods will be delivered to the palace tomorrow."
Li Yin had expected this to happen, and he understood the girl's weirdness, so he smiled and said, "No problem."
The next day, the three-day heavy snowfall in Yizhou finally stopped, but the sky was still overcast. Li Yin got up early and went to the Nanhe warehouse with Jin Daqian. When he came back, the carriage was full of snacks purchased by Li Yin.
After seeing so many kinds of food, Cui Yingying almost showed signs of going crazy, she threw herself on the pile of snacks and refused to get up, "It's all mine." Cui Yingying announced the ownership of the snacks.
"I have to share some with the little girl." Li Yin regretted it, and should hide some of it, and keep some private goods.
Cui Yingying said: "I have to share that too." Cui Yingying protected the snacks and pouted.
"Okay, okay." After all, she didn't have the habit of eating alone.
After a short period of excitement, Cui Yingying smelled the aroma of these snacks, and said: "Your Highness, there are so many snacks that Yingying doesn't know, how do you eat them?" Cui Yingying picked up an iron box and asked.
"This is called chocolate." Li Yin took the box and opened it, pinched a piece of spherical chocolate and said to Cui Yingying, "Come on, open your mouth."
Cui Yingying opened her mouth to swallow the chocolate in Li Yin's hand as she said, and suddenly felt a scent of fragrance permeated, and then the rich sweetness in her mouth and the bitterness of talking melted away, Cui Yingying's eyes widened, this is simply a world Delicious, she just felt that there is nothing more delicious than this in the world.
It was just the beginning of her surprise. Li Yin gave her a taste of more than a dozen snacks, toffee, cream cake, raisins, walnuts...
"It's all mine, it's all mine!" Cui Yingying threw herself on the pile of snacks again, her eyes glowing green, which made Li Yin feel a little hairy.
At this moment, Xiao Cui yelled outside, and Cui Yingying restrained herself a little, and returned to the appearance of a princess.
"What's the matter?" Li Yin asked.
"Return to Your Highness, Butler Jin said that General Qin and Shangguan Inspector have arrived and are waiting for you in the front hall!"
Li Yin remembered the hunting today, and said to Cui Yingying: "Snacks are delicious, but you have to eat them in moderation, you know? Otherwise, you will get fat." Li Yin was very worried that if he didn't remind Cui Yingying, this girl would eat the snacks One day is wiped out.
Cui Yingying only had snacks in her eyes now, and she didn't know if she listened or not, so she just nodded vigorously.
Li Yin shook his head and left the South Courtyard, a sport for men was waiting for him.
In the front hall, Qin Huaiyu and the others were all dressed in military uniforms. They must have prepared a lot for this hunt. At this time, dozens of guards in the palace had already assembled in front of the gate, and a dozen Tibetan mastiffs were playing and playing outside, shouting non-stop. .
Qin Huaiyu and the others were sitting on chairs waiting for Li Yin, when Shangguanyi suddenly said in a low voice, "Do you think His Highness is a little afraid of internal affairs?"
"That's also willing. If you climb up to the five surnames, the respect will be different. From then on, you will have a successful career and a prosperous family." Tong Nian couldn't hide his envy in his eyes.
"If you ask me, Your Highness spoils the princess too much. If I marry a lady in the future, I will definitely not do this." Qin Huaiyu sat upright, full of pride.
The three of them suddenly showed contempt in their eyes.
"I don't know who stood in front of Wei's Restaurant for an hour in the wind and snow the day before yesterday. It is said that someone offended someone, right?" Qin Huaiyu just finished speaking when Li Yin walked in.
Qin Huaiyu blushed and coughed a few times in embarrassment, and everyone laughed out loud.
After a burst of laughter, Li Yin waved his hand with a smile and said, "Let's go!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Counting the servants of the palace, there are quite a few people going hunting this time, there are almost hundreds of people, and Li Yin felt what it means to be hugged at the first moment.
Li Yin and Qin Huaiyu walked in front on horseback, and the servant guards walked behind. The twelve Tibetan mastiffs were led by twelve servants. These dogs were so excited when they went out, they ran around without anyone to guard them. Don't know where it will go.
Seeing such a huge team, the common people on the road dodged to both sides and pointed at the team. Some people who understood showed envious eyes, especially when they saw the dozens of mastiffs. This is not a noble family. They can all afford it.
The hunting team went out and went directly to the southwest. After the heavy snowfall, the roads outside Yizhou City were sparsely populated and covered with snow. Occasionally, a deep rut and several deep and shallow footprints were seen.
Such a road was not easy for them, and it took an hour to reach the hunting location.
When we got to the edge of the forest, everyone dismounted from their horses. The trees in the snow-covered forest are densely packed, and you can't run in it on horseback. It's better to walk in.
Li Yin divided the team into three groups, and each group searched in one direction. Once they found prey, they would notify each other. Li Yin and Qin Huaiyu were in a group. They also asked Qin Huaiyu to protect Li Yin for Li Yin's safety. After all, tigers in the forest are like this. There are not many kinds of animals.
Several servants led the Tibetan mastiff and walked in front, while Li Yin walked behind, his eyes sweeping the snow. After the heavy snow, animals will leave footprints on the ground, and you can find animals by following the footprints.
"This way." After walking a few steps, a nurse suddenly sprinted forward a few steps, pointing to a row of footprints on the ground and shouting.
Li Yin and Qin Huaiyu stepped forward, Qin Huaiyu squatted down, looked carefully for a while, and said, "This should be the footprint of a deer." Li Yin, relying on the residual knowledge of his brain, nodded after looking at it for a while.
Following the footprints, the group explored the depths of the forest. At this time, Li Yin was holding an iron tire bow in his hand and carrying a quiver on his back. Although this iron tire bow was not very good in his opinion, it was regarded as a treasure at that time. A good bow and arrow. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yin did not lose the necessary skill of horseback riding and archery. He practiced every day, and this hunting was also a time to test his ability.
"Hush!" After finding the footprints, Li Yin walked ahead and followed the footprints for hundreds of meters. Li Yin made a silent gesture, and a stag was eating something not far away.
This stag is huge, but the antlers on its head are about one meter high. Li Yin estimated it, excluding the antlers, but the stag is also one meter high.
Li Yin wondered why the animals in the Tang Dynasty were so big, and took out an arrow at the same time, while Qin Huaiyu and a dozen guards also drew their bows and stringed them, waiting for Li Yin's order, while the guard held down the mastiffs. mouth, for fear that they would startle the stag away by making a sound at this moment.
Li Yan drew his bow and arrow, hid behind a tree and aimed at the stag, feeling a little nervous.
The buck that was grazing suddenly raised its head and looked around vigilantly. It sensed a strange sound. It has been able to survive in the dangerous forest until now. It has its own way of survival, and any disturbance will make it highly vigilant. , but this strange voice came from two places.
When the stag raised its head, Li Min felt something was wrong. He tightened the bowstring, and a sharp arrow flew out, but the stag seemed to have discovered it, and jumped forward to avoid it.
Li Yan smashed the tree trunk angrily, and a piece of snow fell on him. Qin Huaiyu and the nurse immediately opened their bows, but the running stag was too nimble, and all the arrows missed.
Looking at the stag that was about to disappear, Li Yin was a little disappointed, but at this moment, a white thing jumped up from the snow in front of the stag and rushed towards the stag. He heard a hiss, and the stag struggled a few times. He fell to the ground motionless...
