After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 426 Learning Horseback Archery
Qian Rongsheng, who was serving on the side, immediately took out a thin quilt and intended to cover Niu Niu with it.

The emperor took the initiative to take it and covered Niu Niu with it himself.

Qian Rongsheng was standing aside and was simply amazed. Although the emperor loved Niu Niu in the past, his eyes had never been as gentle as they were now, which could make one drown one's tears.

"Your Majesty, if you like Niu Niu, you can adopt her as your daughter and give her the title of a princess in the future so that she can marry decently in the future." Qian Rongsheng suggested, guessing the emperor's intention.

When the emperor heard this, he instinctively didn't like this answer.

He also feels very strange now. Sometimes when he looks at Niu Niu, it is as if he can see another person, but in his heart he feels that the two people are one person.

"Let's wait and see. Maybe our mother has other plans for Niu Niu." The emperor said casually.

The emperor also gave another order, asking the team to slow down its pace to avoid the bumpy road that would disturb Niu Niu's sleep.

Children are able to sleep. Last night the little girl only slept in her mother's arms for an hour or two. Now she slept for another hour on the way. The little girl finally felt satisfied.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the small table in the carriage filled with all kinds of food, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"Uncle Emperor, I'm hungry. Can I eat these things?" Niu Niu asked obediently.

The emperor naturally couldn't refuse her, and even ordered Qian Rongsheng: "Ask the people below to prepare more food, don't let the child starve."

When Niu Niu had eaten half her fill, the carriage stopped and they arrived at the palace outside the capital.

The temporary palace was built according to the enclosure for the convenience of royal hunting. Although it was not as magnificent as the imperial palace, it was also extremely exquisite.

The emperor planned to stay in the suburbs for three days this time, and the people in the palace made preparations early. As soon as they arrived, a table of food was served.

"Can you still eat?" the emperor asked with a smile.

Niuniu nodded vigorously: "I feel like I'm so hungry now that I can eat a pig!"

When the emperor heard this, he burst into laughter.

"Uncle Emperor, where are Brother Changfeng and Sister Ling? They told me that they would also come for the hunting trip, so how come we can't see them?" Niu Niu asked curiously.

The emperor immediately asked Qian Rongsheng to call for help.

The Queen Mother did not come this time, but stayed in the palace to take care of Concubine Shun's baby personally. Concubine Shun had experienced too many twists and turns since she became pregnant. The Queen Mother was really worried about leaving this baby to someone else, so she would ask about it many times a day.

The Shen brother and sister arrived very quickly. They were still a little reserved in front of the emperor, but after seeing Niu Niu, they forgot everything. For a moment, the whole room was filled with chatter.

"My dear, my mother asked someone to get you a little white mare. I'll take you to ride it later!"

Hearing Shen Changfeng say this, Niu Niu's eyes lit up instantly.

The emperor also said, "What a coincidence! I have asked the military governor to prepare two ponies for you, one white and one black. Now that you are full, it is a good time to go and take a look."

"Three horses? All for me? But I'm alone. Do you want me to choose one from among them?" Niu Niu asked.

The emperor said, "They are just two horses. If you like them, keep them both."

Upon hearing this, Niu Niu looked at the Shen siblings standing beside her.

Shen Ling immediately said: "My mother said that since it was given to Niuniu, you are not allowed to return it, otherwise she will be unhappy!"

"I want to raise three horses?" Niu Niu's face was full of confusion.

When they arrived at the stable, they saw three ponies, two white and one black, huddled together to eat grass. Niu Niu's eyes lit up instantly when she saw their cute appearance. "So cute! I love them so much!" Niu Niu said happily.

Seeing that the little girl liked the gift, the people around her all breathed a sigh of relief.

"The three horses will be kept in the royal stable later, so you don't have to worry about them at all." The emperor casually gave Niu Niu the treatment that was only given to the children of the royal family.

Niu Niu touched one horse, then another, and she was even confused about which horse to ride for her first time.

"I'd rather ride Xiaobai." Niu Niu finally pointed at the little white horse given by the eldest princess.

As for the two ponies, one white and one black, given by the emperor, Niu Niu named them "Erbai" and "Xiaohei" respectively.

"I'll teach you how to ride a horse!" Shen Changfeng squeezed over happily.

But the emperor stopped him and said, "Don't show off your mediocre skills in public."

After hearing what the emperor said, Shen Changfeng had no choice but to give up.

Although it was Niu Niu's first time to ride a horse, she was smart and quick, and she got the hang of it quickly. In less than half a day, the little girl dared to ride the horse by herself.

But she was reluctant to whip the horse, nor did she dare to let it run too fast.

The emperor had originally gone out to hunt, but now he was teaching the little girl how to ride a horse, and he actually found it very interesting.

On the contrary, the brother and sister Shen Changfeng and Shen Ling ran around outside for half a day and brought back several prey.

"Live little rabbits! I saved them especially for you!" Shen Changfeng held a nest of gray little rabbits in front of Niu Niu.

Niuniu likes small animals and asked, "Can I take this home and keep it?"

Everyone present loved her very much, and no one would spoil her fun by saying no.

Lin Jieyu, who was wearing riding clothes, rode her horse slowly towards the emperor and Niuniu, and said to the emperor with a smile: "Your Majesty, I want to compete with you tomorrow to see who can catch more prey!"

It was already dark today, and Concubine Lin came over to make an appointment for tomorrow. She was looking forward to spending the whole day with the emperor.

The emperor liked Concubine Lin's cheerful and generous personality, so he would take her with him whenever he went hunting, and the two of them often competed with each other.

"I will accompany Niu Niu hunting tomorrow, so I won't compete with you." The emperor refused without any hesitation.

Concubine Lin looked at Niuniu with a slightly unfriendly look, but in order to spend more time with the emperor, she still said, "This is Niuniu's first time hunting, and I can accompany her. I often teach my younger brothers and sisters how to ride and shoot at home. Your Majesty, how about letting me teach her how to shoot arrows?"

The emperor hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

The next morning, Niu Niu changed into a bright red riding suit with the help of the little palace maid.

She didn't bring any clothes with her, but the Queen Mother had prepared them for her long ago.

"Raise your arms a little higher." The emperor taught Niuniu how to draw a bow.

Concubine Lin was also there to help teach. After teaching for about an hour, she took the initiative to suggest, "Your Majesty, what's the point of just practicing like this? Take Niuniu for a walk in the woods so that the little girl will remember it better."

As soon as she said this, Niu Niu immediately looked at the emperor with expectation.
