Nalan Jinxiu, who didn't sleep much last night, was still a little dizzy in the early morning. She walked around the yard a few times against the crisp morning breeze, and was much refreshed. Mu Li didn't speak, just followed silently behind her.

Suddenly there was jubilation in the palace, as if many people were walking and talking at once. Nalan Jinxiu stood on tiptoe and looked out in confusion, but the wall of the courtyard was too high, and she couldn't see the situation outside.

"It should be that the prince is back. Mu Lidao.

"Father, so early?"

"The county lord cleaned up and went to the front yard to pick up the prince. ”

Nalan Jinxiu looked at herself, and she was indeed a little casual. Chiyang City is not as good as Jinling, there is not so much red tape, how comfortable is she to do.

Ji Xiang Ruyi served her to make up, and all she thought about in her mind were clips of Xu Jinsheng's relationship with King Zhenbei when she was a child. I don't know if it's because Xu Jinsheng's memory is defective, or if that's the case, Nalan Jinxiu always feels that the time they spend with their father and daughter is very short.

Northern Xinjiang is unstable, and there are constant big and small battles. King Zhenbei rarely stayed in the palace, and he cherished the princess very much, and spent most of his time in the palace by his wife's side.

As for Xu Jinsheng, after he was sent to Jinling, there were even fewer meetings. I can only see each other in a few years, but I don't give her less things. It's just that Xu Jinsheng is pampered in the Ji family, and he likes those novelties for a while and forgets them.

"Lord Wang. ”

Nalan Jinxiu heard Mu Li's cold voice outside the door, and was thinking about how the King of Zhenbei had arrived so quickly. A tall figure in inky armor entered.

Nalan Jinxiu was about to get up, but he pressed his shoulder, patted it, and smiled heartily: "Don't get up, continue to make up!"

Nalan Jinxiu looked up at Xu Jinsheng's father, who had entered the age of no confusion, did not look old at all, but looked more calm than young people.

She found that King Zhenbei and Xu Jince were worthy of being father and son, and they were really similar. The facial features are all angular, with a slightly aggressive handsomeness, but Xu Jince's eyes look more calm, quite like a Confucian general, and the king of Zhenbei himself can see the decisiveness from the face.

Xu is the momentum of the king of Zhenbei is too compelling, and it took a long time to choose a step for auspicious ruyi. King Zhenbei looked at it for a while, then walked over and took out a crystal step shaker with tassels from the makeup box and inserted it in Nalan Jinxiu's sideburns.

"Your mother loves crystal walking. He said lightly, not without melancholy in his tone.

Nalan Jinxiu looked up at him and said sweetly: "Sheng'er likes it too, thank you Daddy." ”

In fact, in Nalan Jinxiu, her father and mother had already been killed by Zong Xuanyi. So she has been thinking that in the future, she will call King Zhenbei her father and Xu Jince her brother.

But the moment I really saw them, the body that belonged to Xu Jinsheng would naturally reveal closeness. This should be nature, connected by blood, like an invisible summoning that makes her constantly want to get closer.

King Zhenbei rubbed the top of her hair, looked at her already slim daughter, and couldn't help but think of his deceased wife. She used to love her daughter the most, and it would be gratifying to see that her daughter was so sensible!

"I heard that you arrived in Chiyang City, so you rushed back non-stop. ”

Nalan Jinxiu's heart was warm, everyone said that Zhenbei Wang Zhongjun was patriotic, and his heart was full of pride, and his children's love seemed insignificant. In fact, he is also an ordinary person, and he is also flesh and blood, his own flesh and blood, how can he not miss it and not worry about it?

"Daddy doesn't need to be in a hurry, his daughter won't leave when she comes back this time. ”

King Zhenbei smiled and said boldly: "That's natural, you will stay in the Zhenbei Wangfu in the future, stay by my brother and me." ”

At this time, a guard came outside the door and said that the prince had been waiting for the prince for a long time. The king of Zhenbei was not in a hurry, sat on the chair and said to Ji Xiang Ruyi: "Dress up the county lord." ”

Nalan Jinxiu sat back on the makeup stool, brought bracelets and earrings, and felt that she had almost cleaned up. He turned to look at the king of Zhenbei and asked, "Do you want to take me out?"

The smile in King Zhenbei's eyes deepened, and he was happy when he looked at his daughter. He is a battle-hardened man, and he does not shy away from it: "The weather is fine today, and after breakfast, I will take you to ride a horse." ”

Nalan Jinxiu thought that this was really a coincidence, and she also wanted to learn to ride a horse. But looking at her father's happy appearance, he probably didn't know about the marriage of the Holy One! If he knew, he didn't know if he would be able to laugh.

After all, that Miss Shen Congqian Shen was only sixteen years old, and she was more than a year older than her. With such a big age difference, it should be called a year-old love! It's just that this seemingly upright feudal official can really accept such a young girl as his wife?

King Zhenbei already knew when the holy decree had not yet arrived at the palace, and he originally planned not to marry for life, but the holy will could not be violated. Shen Congqian is the niece of the current queen, and the saint wants him to marry, so he will marry back.

Anyway, he is away all the year round, and it is common for him not to return to the palace. Although she has the name of Princess Zhenbei, on the day he dies, he will still be buried with Ah Yu, and then they will never have to be separated.

During the meal, Xu Jince and Nalan Jinxiu were surprisingly consistent, neither of them mentioned the marriage, and the king of Zhenbei didn't want to mention it. The family of three had a very pleasant meal, as if they had been waiting for this day and looking forward to the reunion after all these years of separation.

After dinner, I went to the horse farm. Northern Xinjiang is vast, covering an area of one-third of the entire Daning Dynasty. The water and grass here are fertile, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and there are Xuanjia cavalry that makes all small countries fearful.

The Xuanjia cavalry is good at riding, and when facing the enemy, they can reach the realm of unity of men and horses. Not only is the attack speed very fast, but also good at formation, it is easy for the enemy to be unable to distinguish between virtual and real. It has always had the title of invincible.

The people of Northern Xinjiang are proud of this, which derives from the fact that the people of Northern Xinjiang are good at riding and shooting. In addition, there are many wars in northern Xinjiang, and the people of Beiyan are very strong, whether it is fighting or transferring, riding horses is better than other ways. Therefore, people in northern Xinjiang, regardless of gender, old and young, even the teenage dolls on the roadside, are also very superb in riding.

The king of Zhenbei knew well the sour and rotten rules in Jinling City, and his daughter was taught there, so she would definitely not be able to ride a horse. But how can the sons and daughters of Northern Xinjiang not know how to ride horses, especially his daughter Xu Huaiyu, who must not only be able to ride, but also ride better than everyone else.

Nalan Jinxiu's long hair was tied into a high ponytail, and she changed into a riding outfit, and the dark green color was matched with small deerskin boots, taking advantage of her fairer complexion. The slender waist was tied, slender and weak, and it was difficult to grip it, but the waist board was straight, and it looked so handsome.

"How did Daddy teach you before, you must be fast when you get on the horse, don't put the reins in your hand after getting on the horse, you must hold it. King Zhenbei helped Nalan Jinxiu to get on the horse, and taught her the essentials of horseback riding clearly.

This is the first time for Nalan Jinxiu to ride a horse alone, although Xu Jince has chosen a small and docile mare for her, but she still feels scared when she rides on horseback.

What if this little guy goes crazy and suddenly runs up? She was afraid that she would fall down, and she was afraid that she would not be able to jump down when the time came, and her heart was extremely panicked. Suddenly I regretted it, how to learn how to ride a horse?

"Straighten up a little more and clamp the horse's belly. After a while the horse has run away, you must remember to lean forward. ”

King Zhenbei patiently advised, Nalan Jinxiu didn't want to hear a word. She was really scared now, because her horse didn't seem to be so docile and ready to move. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I'm scared." ”

King Zhenbei glanced at her with a smile and said softly: "I will be a little scared the first time, but when you learn it, you will like the feeling of riding a horse." It's a kind of lighter, lightning-fast speed. ”

"Why don't you take me on a ride?"

"If I take you, you'll never learn to ride a horse. Sheng'er, you shouldn't be afraid, think that you are the daughter of Beijiang and the only county lord of my Zhenbei Wangfu, and your equestrian skills must be better than others. ”

Nalan Jinxiu took a deep breath and cheered himself on, but in the end he didn't dare to let the horse run. In her father's eyes, horseback riding was probably like a pediatric, and it wasn't worth his energy at all.

Nalan Jinxiu looked around as if asking for help, Xu Jince and Ji Hongxuan went to shoot arrows, Ji Honghuan and another officer went to the training ground to watch wrestling, and there was only Mu Li in front of them. She could only bite the bullet and say, "Mu Li, can you come and help me lead the horse?"

He was her guard, and what she asked him to do was reasonable, let alone lead a horse? Mu Li walked over, took the reins in silence, led the horse, and walked slowly.

"How old were you when you first rode a horse, were you afraid, and if you fell off your horse?"

Nalan Jinxiu asked so many questions, and Mu Li only replied with two words lightly: No.

Nalan Jinxiu was confused, was he not afraid, or did he not fall down? He was so lazy that he didn't even bother to speak clearly.

He didn't want to say anything, so she didn't bother him, but rode quietly on her horse. Someone led her horse, but she was not afraid, thinking that even if the horse was startled, Mu was so close to her, he would definitely be able to save her.

The man who had been leading the horse for him suddenly shoved the reins into her hand and told her to hold it. Then he slapped the horse, and the horse was startled, and suddenly stood up.

Nalan Jinxiu was suddenly frightened, and she clenched the reins and didn't dare to let go. She was afraid that she would be thrown off by the horse if she was not careful, and her knees and thighs subconsciously clamped the horse's belly. The horse received the command and galloped. She only felt the wind whistling in her ears, and she shouted loudly to prevent herself from being thrown off her horse. There were also some threatening and complaining words mixed in, which were swept away by the wind and had no deterrent effect.
