Chapter 72: Captain of the Horse

"It's really your sister, it's as difficult to deal with as you!"

On the carriage back home, with the princess in his arms, his heart was rippling, and he couldn't help but joke.

How did the princess just smile faintly, and then asked rhetorically, saying:

"So, you're dealing with me sloppily on weekdays?"

I couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly explained:

"Ah, you are my most beloved princess, Your Royal Highness, as a concubine, I can only hold you in my arms like a jewel, and I will never dare to deal with it sloppily!"

The princess gave me a blank look, pinched my face, and said:

"Why have you been flamming your tongue again lately?"

I could not help crying out for injustice, and when the princess let go of her hand, she hurriedly said:

"These are all taught to me by other colts, and they also gave me a copy of the pony code?! It is said that they have verified it themselves, and it is full of some golden rules on how to become a clever colt master, I took a look, but it was an eye-opener!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Recently, several princesses have frequently entered the palace, as a concubine master is naturally inevitable to serve by his side, and recently because I took the princess back to the house more diligently, it was once rumored to be a beautiful talk in the palace, and as a result, several other concubines in order not to be criticized, they also rushed to the palace to stage such a play, at the beginning it was good to say, but it was difficult to persevere.

Therefore, these days, several colts respect and hate me, and can't help but pull me aside, teach me by word and deed, and talk bitterly about a lot of reasoning, nothing more than the husband is the wife, the husband is the first in the sky, how can you ignore the dignity of men, blindly bend to please the princess?

I don't think it matters, if I do it for the people I love in my heart, I naturally won't care about these gossips.

It's just that I'm embarrassed to mention it to a few colts, so I can only nod vaguely. As a result, I didn't think about it, and they immediately came up with some rules for horses, and I had better read them through, and I skimmed through them, and it was full of long expositions on how to vote for the princess, and put the princess first in everything......

I immediately smiled bitterly, and immediately wanted to complain, what did you just say about the husband as a wife?

"What golden rule?"

The princess couldn't help but show a strange expression and asked suspiciously.

I couldn't help but put on a funny expression, and said:

"The princess sits and I stand, the princess eats and I watch, the princess beats my legs when she is tired, the princess is thirsty and I send water, the princess ......"

"What a mess!"

The princess immediately interrupted me and looked at me incredulously.

How did all this ingenuity go to this place?

On second thought, the princess immediately sensed the meaning of these words.

"Could it be that they are too rude and willful? I have obviously told them, even as princesses, they should be strict with themselves, and do not do anything that undermines the majesty of the royal family by maintaining the dignity of princesses. ”

I took the princess in my arms with relief, comforted her, and said:

"It's okay, Master Horse is the princess's husband, and it is natural for the princess to suffer some grievances. Besides, I'm probably the luckiest and most blessed concubine since ancient times, and I probably don't have any regrets about marrying a gentle and virtuous princess like you!"

The princess lay in my arms, but there was a sad look in her eyes, and said:

"Actually, I can see that Min'er and them don't seem to be living happily......"

I was slightly stunned, the princess has been a victim of the imperial power since ancient times, although she has the dignity of a princess and enjoys the nobility that ordinary people can't reach, but she also has to pay for it The most precious and caring happiness of a woman.

The princess married me like this, and the other princesses married like this......

"Then you, do you feel happy?"

I asked this gently, and I seemed to have a little bit of a weak heart, and I always felt that meeting me was probably the biggest obstacle in the princess's life, and if I were a man, it seemed that I could be a little more upright and stronger, and I could protect her a little more. But I am also a woman, and I am still a woman who has committed the crime of deceiving the king, and with me, the princess should be frightened and unable to sleep at night.

I hope she can be happy, but I don't want someone else to give it, what an ambivalence!

Hearing this question, there was a soft light in the princess's eyes, she smiled slightly, and said:

"I've always been grateful to have met you. It's nice to meet someone who is you!"

The princess's short words satisfied me, and this satisfaction cannot be replaced by anything, whether it is a position of power or a wealth of money......

I gently placed a kiss between the princess's brow, hugged her a little tighter, and whispered in her ear:

"Are you tired, do you want to take a nap, and I'll wake you up when you get to ......the princess's mansion."

"Good!"

The princess gently reached out and stroked my face, then smiled slightly, and closed her eyes quietly in my arms.

I gently stroked the face of this person in my arms, who was so charming even when I was sleeping, and I was a little stunned, and I felt like I was in a dream.

If this is a sweet dream, I just wish I could stay in it for a long time and not wake up so soon......

......

Soon, it came to the day when the Empress Dowager drove to Yong'an Temple to pray for blessings, on this day hundreds of officials saw off, the inner palace ordered women to serve, several princesses and princesses also followed the side, and the horse captain rode a horse to follow behind, the front and rear of the team are guarded by the feather forest, the flag covers the sky, mighty, like a long dragon, slowly moving forward.

Along the way, the people avoided the road, and could not watch on Luyan, so they could only see the flags fluttering from a distance, and the team was vast and powerful, except for the country's large-scale military expedition, the imperial court had not had such a battle for a long time......

A few of my colts and I sat behind the princess's carriage and rode to try to maintain a certain formation.

"Eh, I've never seen a big horse wearing a horse uniform, today I saw it, this unicorn robe with gold and jade belt and this cloud beam crown on the top of the head, but it is very flattering to you, you are often wearing the official uniform of the Hanlin Academy, how can I see it today, I almost can't recognize you!"

The person who said this is the second princess Xiao Yue's concubine Mu Yan, who is the eldest son of the military department of the dynasty, and his body is quite tall and strong, and he is a common northern man.

Mu Yan is also a military general, he looks handsome, and his skills are also good, he is bold and informal. Among the several colts, there is a vague leader. Everyone is more convinced of him, and although I am a big horse, my image has always been a weak scholar, and I have no quarrel with the world, so naturally, I can be regarded as indirectly acquiescing to the name of this Mu Yan boss.

"The second horse laughed, on weekdays, because I want to walk around the Hanlin Academy, for convenience, I have been wearing the official uniform of the Hanlin Academy, and I pray for blessings today, and I and the captain of the horse naturally need to be on the side, wearing the official uniform of the horse, isn't it a matter of course!"

I laughed as I tugged at the reins so as not to get out of formation.

"It's really worthy of being a big horse, the champion of the year, when he talks about it, he is the first to speak, don't you say?"

After speaking, Mu Yan looked at the two horses behind him, it was Ji Sui, the concubine of Xiao Wen, Her Royal Highness of the Third Princess, and Liu Ji, the concubine of Xiao Ling, Her Royal Highness of the Fourth Princess.

The third horse Ji Sui is also an outstanding young man, is the second son of the Ministry of Shangshu, uninhibited, casual, quite a bit of chic and down-to-earth, just let it go too much is indulgence, in the past, he was not very attentive to ordinary things, good drinking, but sometimes he said amazing words, thought-provoking, unpredictable whether he was really confused or pretending to be confused, or rare to be confused.

Either way, it seems to me that he is a man who knows how to have fun in time, and although I don't agree with his personality, I envy him for living so freely!

Ji Sui just smiled indifferently as before, and then turned his head to look at the surrounding scenery.

Liu Ji, the fourth horse, is the youngest of us, not yet in the age of the weak crown, but he was also born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and is the eldest son of the squire of the criminal department.

When the Turks forced marriage, they had indicated that they wanted to take the princess of the Northern Wei royal family, and the empress dowager hurriedly married the fourth princess Xiao Ling.

From the family line of several princesses who married the scholars, it can be seen that the life history of several concubines is the most noble among the nobles of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and their parents are all important members of the court, and their influence on the government is also the most intuitive and obvious.

This is also the Empress Dowager's technique of using people to balance the rights of the court, so that the balance of interests is as close as possible to the royal family, so that the interests of several major families are linked to the royal family, one is prosperous, and the other is lost.

This game of chess is very big, and only a woman as powerful as the Queen Mother has the courage and courage to play this game of chess.

It's just that there are many things to sacrifice, such as family affection, or the love of several princesses......

Although Liu Ji, the fourth horse, is smart, but he is also young, and he has never had any objections to the things raised by the other horses, especially what the second horse Mu Yan said, he nodded and said what it was, and now it seems that there is no opinion.

"Well, what the second colt said is very true, the big colt is a model for my generation, Liu Ji is shallow, and I will ask the big colt to bring Liu Ji more in the future, Liu Ji is grateful!"

Liu Ji, the fourth horse, spoke politely, but also took care of the etiquette.

"The four horses are polite, and they are carrying each other!"

I smiled and saluted back, and glanced at the second concubine Ma Muyan, if I said something else, I would definitely think it was mocking, but if he said that, I believe that he praised more than ridiculed, he is also a straight intestine sometimes, but he is not a bad person, at least I don't hate him, whatever he says, he will let him go.

"I'm about to arrive at Yong'an Temple, big guy, don't make any mistakes, one person is embarrassed, but I lose the face of all our captains, remember!"

The second concubine Ma Muyan suddenly looked a little nervous, it seemed that it was the first time to experience such a big scene, and it was inevitable that he would be flustered and look forward to it.

I smiled, and from time to time I heard bursts of laughter from the princess's jade frame, and I was in a very good mood, so I said:

"There is no need to be so nervous, you listen, Her Royal Highnesses are so calm and calm, our duty is to take care of Her Royal Highnesses, with Her Royal Highnesses the Princesses, there will be no major problems. ”

All the horses were clear, and when they heard their respective princesses laughing so happily, thinking about it, the mood of the princesses must be very good, and the princesses are in a good mood, and the horses will naturally have to have fun!

After saying that, several colts understood each other, and after looking at each other, they also let out bursts of hearty laughter......
