In the next halftime, Song Qianyuan alone easily equalized the score on the riding and archery field.

It was the prince who took the last arrow.

After his arrow hit the bull's-eye, the eunuch who scored outside the court sang: "It's time!"

"Good!" Everyone stood up and applauded.

The princess of the Western Regions also got off her horse: "Da Ning really has a lot of talents, and this princess is convinced."

Song Qianyuan also got off his horse, saluted the prince and the emperor in the distance, and was about to leave.

The princess of the Western Regions suddenly stopped him: "Wait, what's your name?"

Song Qianyuan paused, turned around, lowered his head and said, "Princess Hui, the villain's name is Xiaoqianzi, and he is a servant of Duke Gu's mansion."

The princess frowned: "Little Qianzi? Don't you have another name?"

This name is too sloppy, as soon as it is heard, it is given to the servants.

At this moment the crown prince came over and said: "If the princess likes it, I can ask my father to ask the Duke's mansion to come to this...Little Qianzi, let him follow the princess back to serve in the Western Regions."

The princess of the Western Regions said proudly: "No need, this princess just asked casually, if he doesn't want to say it, then that's all!"

After speaking, she turned and left the school field and returned to the stands.

This time in the civil and military competition, Daning as a whole had a tie with the Western Regions. As a result, hunting in the hunting ground tomorrow will be very important.

The prince thought for a while, then turned around and said to the emperor: "Father, according to my son's opinion, it is better to go hunting tomorrow, and let the companion next to Young Master Gu participate, what do you think?"

The emperor nodded: "Second Young Master Gu has made great contributions to Daning today, and I will reward you a lot."

Gu Tai'an came out in fear and trepidation: "I thank the Lord for your kindness on behalf of the dog."

**

In the evening, Gu Rong returned home with a bunch of rewards.

The emperor's reward this time is real, much more than what the prince rewarded before.

Liu Shi was still punished by Gu Taian to think about her mistakes in the ancestral hall, so Gu Rong couldn't see her expression, but I heard that she, like Gu Zhiyu, was very upset when she heard the news.

But Gu Rong was not in the mood to care about their happiness this time, he was more worried about Song Qianyuan.

If Song Qianyuan behaved well tomorrow, he might be noticed by the queen and others in the palace.

But if the performance is not good, Song Qianyuan is just a servant of the Gu family, the emperor is angry, if he wants to blame someone afterwards, then Song Qianyuan is an excellent candidate, and he is very likely to be beheaded in the end.

In any case, the knife rests on the neck.

Gu Rong suffered from insomnia again at night.

He couldn't sleep, so he sat by the window and wrote.

Last time he threw away all the things he wrote when he was fourteen or fifteen years old that he could find in the room, and now he needs to write something new, so that even he himself feels that he has no achievements.

But he couldn't write anything.

All that dangled in his mind was Song Qianyuan's face.

Suddenly, there was a "click" outside.

Gu Rong was startled.

But he had experience this time, and knew that Song Qianyuan must be standing outside, so he said coldly: "Why are you still hanging around outside, hunting tomorrow, if you don't recharge your energy, what will you do if you lose?"

Song Qianyuan still said: "The young master doesn't sleep, so Xiao Qianzi naturally wants to guard the young master."

Gu Rongchang sighed, and said in a low voice, "This time I'm the one who got you involved."

Song Qianyuan was silent for a moment: "Don't worry, young master, you will hunt tomorrow, and Xiaoqianzi knows what to do."

**

On the second day, Gu Rong and Song Qianyuan got into the carriage.

Before he got into the carriage, someone from the palace sent a message saying that the emperor had decreed that Second Young Master Gu would also enter the hunting ground with Song Qianyuan.

The royal hunting ground is specially opened for the royal family and the high-ranking officials and nobles in the palace. There are tents set up in the field. Some high-ranking officials and nobles are not good at riding and shooting, but they will send people into the hunting ground and ask them to hunt some wild game for themselves. It was baked and eaten directly outside the tent.

What the emperor said about entering the hunting ground was to let Gu Rong wait in such a tent.

This camp is very small and the number is limited. There are so many onlookers in such a big scene today, it is impossible to let everyone enter the hunting ground.

Therefore, Gu Rong always thought that he would accompany the emperor outside the hunting ground to wait for news like other officials.

Moreover, there are many wild animals in the hunting ground, which is not safe.

Gu Rong received the dictation from the Holy Majesty outside the Gu mansion, and stood up.

"Eunuch!" Yuan Sheng shouted to the eunuch who came to interrogate him, "Are you mistaken, the emperor really let our second young master into the hunting ground? But he can't ride a horse at all..."

"Our family is only passing on the oracle of the Holy Master, the Second Young Master Gu wants to disobey the imperial decree?"

Gu Rong bowed: "Don't be angry, father-in-law, I'm not blocking my mouth, so don't blame me."

The eunuch snorted, as if he had other important matters, he hurriedly got into the carriage and left.

Gu Rong said: "Yuan Sheng, accompany me back and change into clothes."

After returning to the mansion, he changed into his riding clothes, and Gu Rong came out again.

While moving the footstool for Gu Rong and helping Gu Rong into the carriage, Yuan Sheng said: "Master, I think it's better for the master to tell the emperor that you need to ride a horse to enter the hunting ground. Your body..."

Gu Rongdao: "It's useless, the emperor has made up his mind, even if dad says it, it won't change anything."

After speaking, he got into the carriage.

Song Qianyuan watched his figure quietly from behind.

After a while, he followed Yuan Sheng into the carriage.

Outside the hunting ground, the servants of the Qun Mu Si had already selected horses for the nobles who participated in the hunting today.

The prince's horse was specially rewarded by the emperor for treading snow with four hooves. It is said that it can travel thousands of miles a day.

Others are slightly less so.

But if they can be raised in the palace, these horses are not far behind.

What the servant prepared for Gu Rong was a docile pony, which was white in color and very beautiful.

However, the horse's back was still too high for Gu Rong, and it was a bit difficult for him to climb up.

Seeing Gu Rong pursing his lips in embarrassment in front of the pony, the crown prince smiled from the side and said, "Second Young Master Gu, your body is indeed too weak."

After speaking, he got on his horse.

His four hooves snorted under his boast.

Gu Rong wanted to cry again.

But he couldn't show weakness in front of so many people, so he grabbed the reins and imitated how the prince got on the horse. As soon as he stepped on the stirrup, he was about to get on the horse.

"Master!" Song Qianyuan was adjusting the saddle of his horse, and when he saw that Gu Rong was about to get on the horse without saying a word, he was startled, hurried over to hold his waist, and hugged him off the horse.

"You can't get on the horse like this!" Song Qianyuan said with a serious face, "Young master will fall off."

Gu Rong was a little anxious, a tear fell down from the corner of his eye: "I want to get on the horse!"

"I know," Song Qianyuan looked around, and while no one was paying attention, he stretched out his thumb to wipe away a tear from the corner of Gu Rong's eyes, "but safety comes first, young master, I'll help you up."

From the prince's point of view, Gu Rong couldn't be seen crying, but the rich young master who was still addicted to cooking was clamoring to get on his horse.

He sneered, shook the reins, and wandered off to other places.

Song Qianyuan came over and supported Gu Rong's waist, pointing him: "Stand on the stirrup with one foot."

Gu Rong stepped on it: "That's how I got on it just now."

"Hold the rein in your hand." Song Qianyuan said.

"Catch here?" Gu Rong stared at it carefully with wide almond eyes.

"No, grab the middle," Song Qianyuan grabbed Gu Rong's wrist again, guiding him to the correct position, "then borrow the strength from his waist..."

Song Qianyuan's hand came to Gu Rong's waist again: "Three two one, go!"

Gu Rong made an effort and got on the horse smoothly.

"Wow!" Gu Rong felt that the air on the horse was much fresher than the air below, and he burst into laughter instantly, "It turns out that getting on the horse is quite simple!"

The breeze blows Gu Rong's slightly curly hair.

His riding outfit today made his legs very long, and his waist was also extraordinarily thin.

Song Qianyuan recalled the feeling of his hand on Gu Rong's waist.

After successfully getting on the horse, the initial excitement passed, Gu Rong remembered that he had cried again just now, and felt a little embarrassed: "You are not allowed to tell others what happened just now!"

"It's the young master." Song Qianyuan smiled.

When the time came, the emperor entered the arena.

Standing outside the hunting ground, he said a few words in the same scene as yesterday, and all the people participating in the hunting rode their horses and prepared to enter the hunting ground.

Although Gu Rong has learned how to mount a horse, he can't ride a horse.

There are many wild beasts in the hunting ground, if you don't go in on horseback, you may be attacked by wild beasts.

Although the emperor sent Jinwu guards to protect the safety of everyone in the hunting grounds today, it is still necessary to enter the hunting grounds on horseback.

Song Qianyuan is just a servant, he can't ride with Gu Rong, he has no choice but to hold his own horse with one hand and Gu Rong's horse with the other hand, walk by himself, and take Gu Rong into the hunting ground .

Gu Rong sat on the horse, tightly holding the rein in his hand.

He had never been to a hunting ground, but he had heard that there were many ferocious beasts inside, so he couldn't help but look around, feeling very nervous.

Everyone else had already galloped towards the tent in the hunting ground, only Gu Rong and Song Qianyuan were still walking slowly.

Gu Rong said worriedly: "Little Qianzi, can we go this way? It seems very unsafe here."

After all, even Jin Wuwei had already followed other people in, so he was no longer around.

"Hush—" Song Qianyuan put one hand to his mouth and said, "Listen, young master, is there any sound?"

Gu Rong was so frightened by him that his hairs stood on end in an instant.
