Chapter 14: Outside the City
Just in time for the sun, Ningxi sent someone to put a rattan chair in the middle of the courtyard, at this time her face was covered with a scarf lazily, and she was lazily sunning, and it was the second day since the emperor promised to take her out of the palace.
Ningxi thought about basking in the sun for a while at noon, and she would be energetic at night, and she would definitely have to play enough tonight to come back, because after coming back, she would have to carefully teach the people in the harem a lesson, and it was time for her to be a sick cat who only needed to be powerful!
"Why did you leave the palace so early this time?" When Ningxi was comfortably exposed to the sun, Xiao Chengyan sneaked into her to change into civilian clothes and prepare to leave the palace.
"I'll take you out of the city today."
When Xiao Chengyan was still the fifth prince, he bought a manor outside the city, and there was a horse farm in the manor.
"You can go out of town!" Hearing that she could go outside the city, Ningxi immediately turned into a starry eye, which shows how wise it is to come out to spread joy, otherwise she will still be taking a nap in the sun in the yard.
"The Prime Minister is on sick leave now, and I think it's better not to go to Ningfu to disturb."
Xiao Chengyan knew very well why Ning Xiang refused to go to court when he was sick at home, his precious niece was wronged in the harem, and being an uncle made him happy.
Xiao Chengyan thought that his concubine could be bullied for no reason, and waited, when the time came, I only hoped that my father-in-law's family would stop bullying his family.
"Uncle is sick, then let Yuzhu take a look."
Ningxi didn't think that her uncle would make a fuss because she was poisoned, and thought that the weather was cold in winter, and it was normal for Ning Chengxiang, as the eldest uncle, to have a headache and brain fever.
Before Yuzhu left, Ningxi glanced at her, Yuzhu got out of the carriage and went to Ningfu accompanied by a guard to see the prime minister, and the rest of them went out of the city together.
As soon as this person named Yuzhu left, Xiao Chengyan stole a glance at his concubine, recalling that day he asked people to secretly call Yuzhu to question, not to mention the real loyalty of her palace maids, unless he got rid of people mercilessly, otherwise according to the temperament of the palace maids, he would not only tell the truth, but I am afraid that he would also accuse him of this emperor in front of the concubine. Another day, I should ask clearly and see how many unsolved mysteries there are in the concubine.
Before coming, Xiao Chengyan ordered someone to drive the carriage directly to the racecourse, and heard the person who was driving, "Huh~"
Knowing that the destination had arrived, Ningxi opened the curtain, and the huge horse farm came into view, and Ningxi sighed with great emotion, "Wow~ There is a horse farm here, it's good to be rich and powerful!" ”
Xiao Chengyan thought she would say something praised, but it turned out that it was good to be rich and powerful, and she couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth, the ambiguity of these words, he~
Before getting out of the carriage, Xiao Chengyan tied the cloak to Ningxi, and Ningxi obediently posed for him to put on, thinking to himself, what he, the emperor has done, has never been like him for thousands of years.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, Ning Honghui, Ning Hongzhe, Ning Hongqian, Xie Cheng, and Lin Yize were already waiting outside. You're not going to let your concubines come here to watch a few of you ride! ”
"Today is naturally for you to have fun, but you can't help but be careless, after all, your body is just right." Xiao Chengyan was afraid that she would play, and she would be able to ignore her body when she went crazy.
As soon as he heard that he could ride a horse, Ningxi happily directly blocked the second half of Xiao Chengyan's sentence, hugged people's necks and said, "Your Majesty, you are so good!" "As soon as I am happy, I hug the coquettish concubine Niangniang, invincible.
"I really miss the cold concubine when I first entered the palace."
Listening to the emperor's thoughts, Gonggong Wan's heart tightened, Your Majesty, I'm afraid you've been too happy lately, and you want to find excitement!
I am most afraid of the emperor's sudden concern, and the concubine begs you not to worry more about the emperor in the future.
"Niangniang looks good!" Ning Hongqian led a little bean ding over, Ning Hongzhe, her little cousin.
Hearing the joke in his words, Ningxi smiled, and by the way, he gave him a roll of his eyes, Ningxi and Ning Hongqian are the best among the peers of the Ning family, they are of the same age, and he has a jumpy temperament and is humorous.
"The fourth cousin has been doing well lately." Recently, I heard that I was chased by a girl behind my ass.,I'm afraid I'm hiding from the peach blossoms outside the city today.。
Ningxi smiled ambiguously, Ning Hongqian didn't know where she was, it seems that although this cousin is in the deep palace, this ear thread is really not worse than the emperor, just like this, the old man of his family still says what he wronged his niece all day long, the emperor does not connive at her, she can do this, sigh~ Poor grandfather is not a daughter.
The two exposed each other's shortcomings, Ningxi was not afraid that the second uncle would hurt her anyway, and her fourth cousin would definitely eat fried meat with bamboo shoots when she went back this time.
"Hello little cousin!" Ningxi's two eyes blinked, and it was shameful to be cute at the child.
"Hello cousin~"
When Ning Hongzhe was still Ning Duo (Ning Honghui's third cousin's son), Ningxi saw it, it was when she came back from the Great Northwest when she was ten years old, and it was also the first time she went to her grandfather's house, met her grandfather, grandmother, and three uncles and aunts, and knew several cousins and this little cousin.
Don't look at Ning Hongzhe's small appearance, but this ancient child is not like the bear child in later generations, naughty and lawless; Look at this small body, small appearance, gentle and elegant, polite and good-looking.
Ningxi couldn't help but think of another little bean ding of the Ning family, it seems that the third cousin did not bring anyone today, to be honest, Ningxi itself is not interested in children, but the children of the Ning family are particularly cute, maybe it is the genes of the Ning family, and the Ning family is very good-looking.
Ningxi reached out and wanted to touch his head, but she didn't expect the child to hide, "Cousin, don't touch a man's head casually, it's not good!" ”
"Poof-" Ningxi couldn't help but look at the little adult, "How old are you to dare to claim to be a man!" ”
Ning Hongzhe patted his small chest, "I will be nine years old after the New Year." ”
"Oh, you're a little man, then."
"I'm a big man, a manly man, not a little man." As he spoke, Ning Hongzhe pursed his lips, as if he was a little disgusted with the little man that Ningxi said just now.
The child must have been brought by his fourth brother, after all, the age difference between the two is the youngest of these brothers, and they are brothers, the elder brother takes the younger brother to play, and the younger brother and the elder brother learn very normally.
"Okay, good, you're a manly man."
When Xiao Chengyan led the horse over, he happened to hear the words of Ningxi Ying and the little ghost, how could his concubine be so popular with children.
Seeing that Ning Hongzhe pouted and disgusted his cousin for not admitting that he was a man just now, people have always leaned on Ningxi's side, he likes his cousin the most, more than his little nephew.
"The grass people say hello to the emperor!"
"Get up." Xiao Chengyan
"It's just a half-hour ride, but don't blow the wind and get the cold."
"The emperor doesn't care about the concubines, but you promised to let me have a good time today."
The concubine didn't recognize anyone, Xiao Chengyan could only admit that he was deflated, and took Ning Honghui, Xie Cheng and others to the pavilion in the manor.
Ningxi touched the horse that Xiao Chengyan personally led, and at first glance it was obedient, Ningxi put it on its head affectionately, and established a friendship between the two people, and they would get along well for a while, and they would get along well in the future.
"Let's go to the lounge and change your clothes."
Ningxi didn't know that she could come outside the city to ride a horse today, and the clothes she was wearing were not suitable for horseback.
Fortunately, the servants in the manor got the news of the emperor early in the morning and ordered someone to prepare clothes and shoes for the concubine.
There is a place for the masters to rest next to the racecourse, which is also to prevent the masters from being tired of playing and not being able to rest in time.
"Niangniang, this is the place where the master usually rests."
Ningxi went to the middle room, looking at the neatly arranged surroundings, Xiao Chengyan must have come often, no wonder this person doesn't like to go to the harem very much, isn't he eating wild food outside?
After looking around, there was no feminine thing, so when the people picked up their clothes, they went behind the screen to change their clothes.
Arrived at the racecourse again, Ning Hongqian and Ning Hongzhe were already on horseback, although the Ning family is a scholarly family, and the juniors do not take the road of military generals, but the family also invited a martial artist to come when they were young, also to strengthen their health, don't look at Ning Hongzhe's youngest grade, but his martial arts value is stronger than that of several elder brothers.
Ning Honghui and the emperor still have something to discuss, Xie Cheng and Lin Yize came to the horse farm together, and happened to see a beautiful turnover horse in Ningxi, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, I have never heard of a young lady in the capital who can ride it, this concubine Niangniang is worthy of being the daughter of Jiangmen, who grew up in the northwest with General Chen.
Xie Cheng thought that he was also half of General Chen's apprentice when he was young, so in this way, the concubine Niangniang was still his junior sister.
Why don't you get close to the concubine Niangniang, I came to Lin Yize's side and asked, "Yize, do you say this concubine is so close!" ”
Lin Yize looked at Xie Cheng like a fool, if you want to approach the concubine, you are afraid that you will die, "Why is there too little that the emperor has ordered you recently, you are so idle!" "I'm panicking and going to get close to the concubine.
"You?" Xie Cheng glanced at him disdainfully, walked half a step away from him, and said, "I don't care about you, a businessman who smells of copper. ”
"Oh, then you don't often take your lady to my *** dinner." This indifferent tone, begging you.
It is the most luxurious dining place in the capital, and there are branches in Yangzhou, Luoyang and other prosperous places.
"Threaten me again!"
If it weren't for the fact that his wife especially likes the dishes in his restaurant, he Xie Cheng would be able to take care of Lin Yize and dream about it.
