Chapter 821: The Scheming Little Emperor x the Cruel and Merciless Regent 10
Time flies, and in just two or three days, the autumn hunting days have arrived.
Autumn hunting and spring hunting, as traditional activities passed down by the royal family for a long time, have always been highly valued.
In the past, Qi Zhi always felt that Shen Xi was still young, so he canceled all these activities in those years.
I thought that this year, as usual, there would be no autumn hunting.
However, Shen Xi kept nagging Qi Zhi to go outside the palace all day long. The expectant request and the eager look in Qi Zhi's eyes made it difficult for Qi Zhi to refuse.
In the end, Qi Zhi sighed helplessly and nodded to agree to Shen Xi's request.
The royal hunting ground is a carefully planned and arranged place. There are special personnel responsible for raising prey, ensuring the quantity and quality of prey, so that those who participate in hunting can have enough targets.
In order to ensure the safety and order of the hunting activities, people deliberately drew a clear circle around the site and sent soldiers to guard it closely.
During the autumn and spring hunting, in order to show the royal kindness and reduce unnecessary killing, people generally use specially made headless arrows.
This headless arrow looks ordinary, but it actually contains a secret. A special paint is applied on the arrow.
Once the prey is shot, the pigment will leave a unique color mark on the prey. Through these colors, it is clear which hunter hit the prey.
The royal hunting ground was not located in the bustling capital, but in a vast forest some distance away from the capital. This forest was lush with trees, blocking out the sun.
Tall trees and low shrubs are intertwined, forming an intricate ecological environment.
The terrain is also extremely complex, with rolling hills, deep valleys, and winding streams.
Such an environment creates a challenging and exciting atmosphere for hunting activities.
Since there are troops stationed in the hunting ground for a long time, in order to avoid affecting the residents and to ensure the confidentiality and security of military operations, the residents living in the surrounding area were properly repatriated and resettled to other places long ago.
It was a sunny day on the day of departure, and Shen Xi and Qi Zhi rode together in a very luxuriously decorated carriage.
The carriage is spacious and comfortable, with an elegant and exquisite interior. The soft cushions and exquisite satin decorations all demonstrate the royal dignity.
Also moving forward were many princes and ministers, whose carriages followed behind, forming a long team.
Most of these dignitaries chose to ride in horse-drawn carriages and enjoy a relatively smooth journey.
Outside the carriage, the royal guards riding tall horses were majestic and awe-inspiring. They were dressed in bright armor that shone brightly in the sunlight.
Holding the spear tightly in his hand, with an upright posture and a firm gaze, he is always alert to everything around him, protecting the safety of the royal family.
Shen Xi sat in the carriage. He stretched out his hand, gently opened the curtains of the carriage, and looked at the scenery outside curiously, as if he wanted to imprint it all in his mind.
At this moment, the carriage has not yet left the capital and is still moving slowly through the city.
The streets are bustling with people coming and going.
"Uncle, can you take me out to play in the future? It seems very lively."
Shen Xi stared out the window, then turned to look at Qi Zhi, his eyes full of expectation. It seemed as if he was saying that as long as Qi Zhi agreed, he would immediately cheer for joy.
You know, Qi Zhi couldn't refuse any of his requests.
Although both parties were aware that Shen Xi had the status of emperor, he could not leave the palace at will.
But Qi Zhi still agreed.
Wouldn't it be better if he wasn't discovered? Even if he was discovered, he could always use an excuse to just stick to his guns.
"Okay, wait until I come back. If Your Majesty wants to come out, I will accompany you."
However, seeing how excited and happy he was, Qi Zhi had an idea in his mind about the birthday surprise he mentioned the day before.
