Chapter 35: Galloping Horses
"Prince Helian, what are you thinking?" A woman with two big braids, a sky-blue tight short coat on the top, a wide navy blue dress on the bottom, and many strings of small bells on both hands, she patted Helian Cheng's shoulder from behind and asked loudly, and the small bells made a crisp and pleasant collision sound. She is none other than the daughter of the Tata King, Uloran.
"Princess, why are you here?" Helian City had heard Uloran's footsteps early in the morning, but he didn't want to come back to his senses.
"Call me princess again, how many times have I told you, don't call me princess, just like my father, just call me Alain."
"The princess is noble, so it's not appropriate."
"What's wrong? I love it when you call me Alain. Besides, you are also a prince, and your honorable status is the same as mine. Uloran said coquettishly.
"It was the same before, it's not the same now." Helian laughed at himself.
"Anyway, you are not allowed to call me princess again, or I will turn my face."
"Well, Alain, don't call me Prince, just Helen."
"Okay, let's just say that."
"Alain, what are you looking for me?" Helian asked.
"When he saw that you were not in his tent, he came out to find you. Let's go galloping. As he spoke, Uloran grabbed Helian Cheng's arm and was about to pull him away. The desert woman is different from the Central Plains woman, she has a bold and straightforward style, she likes to be alone, never twists, and boldly pursues. Ever since she came to this tribe in Helian City, Uroran has taken a liking to him, always expressing her heart directly.
"Alain, I still have something to report to your father, and I'll ride with you another day." Helian Cheng said perfunctorily. Helian Cheng sent people under the fence, and if he wanted to seek revenge from Huangfu Jingyao and restore his throne, he could only use Tata, and he could not refuse Uloran.
"No, I want you to ride with me now." Uroran is the only child of King Tata, and she has been the pearl of the entire tribe since she was a child, and no one has ever dared to disobey her, so she has developed an arrogant and willful character.
"Alain, I really have official business to deal with, I promise you, tomorrow, I will accompany you to gallop." Helian Cheng smiled slightly, making Wu Luolan dumbfounded, Helian Cheng is outstanding, tall and straight, and excellent in martial arts, it is the nightmare of other men on the grassland, and it is indeed the yearning of all women.
"You remember what you promised me, and tomorrow I will be waiting for you at your tent." Uloran is very happy and looks forward to coming early tomorrow.
As Uloran bounced away, the smile on Helian Cheng's face collapsed in an instant. This morning, he received a tip-off that the emperor had sent Huangfu Jingyao to set off to the border pass, and with Huangfu Jingyao's marching speed, he would be able to reach the border pass in less than half a month. As the sun set, he looked at the end of the grassland and said in his heart: Huangfu Jingyao, we are finally going to meet again.
On the second day, Uloran really waited at the door of Helian City's tent early in the morning, and her father, Wuli, also said that she should be more reserved, but she didn't listen at all, and still pestered Helian City all day long, and Wuli couldn't help it.
As soon as Helian lifted the curtain of the tent, he saw Uloran. He smiled and said, "Alain, since I promised you, I will definitely fulfill my promise." ”
"No, no, no, it's not that I don't believe you, I can't wait to see you." Uroran had always spoken so directly, but in front of her beloved man, she still blushed a little.
Two people gallop on a horse on the grassland for thousands of miles, although there is no scene of cattle and sheep in such a season, but with the person you like, no matter where it is picturesque. Uloran was so excited all the way that she pumped her horse's ass vigorously and said, "Helian, let's race." ”
Helian Cheng didn't want to compare, his riding skills were far above Uloran, but seeing Uroran running away, he could only beat his horse to keep up. Seeing that Helian Cheng was chasing after him, the whip in his hand was getting worse and stronger, and the horse suddenly ran wildly in pain, and even Uloran couldn't control it, Helian Cheng saw that Uloran was about to fall from his horse, and shouted "Give me your hand", and sped up again, and finally grabbed Uloran's hand and fell to the grass with her. The two of them hugged each other and rolled until they reached a flat ground before stopping. Uloran was being held by Helian Cheng at this time, and she didn't know if it was because of the horse running or the shyness, her face was flushed. She looked at Helian Cheng obsessively, and Helian Cheng's eyes also had a moment of obsession, but he suddenly thought of the fierce woman who was kidnapped by himself in the assassination operation. Helian Cheng quickly came to his senses, helped Uroran to her feet, and said to her, "Alain, it's not early, let's go back." ”
Uloran thought that Helian Cheng was too naughty and angry to speak, and obediently followed him back to the camp.
Today is the first day of the second lunar month, the day when Huangfu Jingyao left the capital. Chu Xiangwan's body is getting heavier and heavier, her stomach is bulging out, but her limbs are still slender, she sits at the desk, knowing that Huangfu Jingyao is leaving today, but she can't send it off, this time she said goodbye, I don't know when I will see you again, her mood is very bad, and she has been staring at the bracelet on her hand in a daze.
"The emperor has arrived." The voice of the eunuch broke Chu Xiangwan's thoughts.
"Concubines—"
"Hey, how many times have I said, don't salute, you're just disobedient." Huangfu Jingwen grabbed Chu Xiangwan's hand distressedly. He was in a good mood today, because Huangfu Jingyao had already left far away and would no longer appear in his and Chu Xiangwan's lives.
"Yes." Chu Xiangwan replied lightly.
"King Rui has gone back to the border." Huangfu Jingwen didn't speak again after saying this, he saw that Chu Xiangwan's mood was a little cowardly, and he began to test again.
"What does the emperor want his concubines to say?" Chu Xiangwan didn't like this kind of cover-up, and rushed out. Since that time, she has never mentioned Huangfu Jingyao in front of Huangfu Jingwen again, and she has been avoiding it.
"Don't be angry, I'm just talking casually." Huangfu Jingwen was annoyed by his momentary gaffe, and only by not mentioning this person between them would they have a really good life.
"The affairs of the previous dynasty and the concubines can't and don't want to know, and now the biggest memory of the concubine is the child in the belly, he is everything about the concubine."
"What you said is that this child is also my memory, Xiang Wan, I really hope that your first child is a boy."
"The concubine just hopes that the child can be born safely." Chu Xiangwan touched his stomach and smiled quietly. When she thought of the child, she calmed down from the bottom of her heart, and her face shone with dazzling brilliance.
Huangfu Jingwen put his arm around Chu Xiangwan and said to her: "It will be Yuan'er's birthday in a few days, you are heavy, so don't attend, it will be bad if something bumps into it." ”
"However, the concubine likes Yuan'er's child very much and wants to see him."
"In that case, I will accompany you to sit down and see him before the banquet that day, and as for the banquet, don't attend it."
"Okay, then there is Emperor Lao."
