Volume 1: The Palace's Storm Chapter 28: Dressed up to attend the racecourse
The horse farm was very lively, Shen Xie brought Xiao Qi, and Shangguan Zimo also brought his wife.
Xiao Qi and Shangguan Zimo's wife were racing horses in the racecourse, and Shen Xie had always cultivated Xiao Qi as a lady, so nothing fell behind in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Lile riding and shooting.
Shangguan Zimo's wife was born in Jiangmen, and she grew up on horseback since she was a child, and horseback riding was a piece of cake for her.
Two women rode horses, and two men saved their lives by erecting a shelf next to it and building a simple shed.
Shangguan Zimo sat up straight, and he lowered his eyes to look at Shen Xie, who was sitting opposite him with a lazy posture: "Why didn't the prince bring the regent princess out?" Since I have brought my wife, it stands to reason that the prince should also bring his wife. ”
Shangguan Zimo has not seen Lu Ziyue for a long time, he heard the attendant who came back from Dali Temple yesterday said that Lu Ziyue's maid died in Dali Temple, and he was a little worried about her.
After all, people like this brought from their hometown must have deep feelings.
What's more, he had also seen that Ngapoi girl at the beginning, and she was indeed a rare smart person.
Shen Xie raised his eyebrows: "This king has never heard of the relationship between General Shangguan and this king's princess, this concern is inevitably a little inexplicable." ”
"How can it be inexplicable?" Shangguan Zimo shook his head slightly, he shook the tea leaves in his hand and said, "The prince forgot, when the princess regent got married, it was still General Ben who went to greet her, and at that time, General Ben felt that Princess Regent was a rare wonderful person." ”
Shangguan Zimo said with a provocative meaning: "I don't know if the regent has told the princess regent about the affairs of Dayue Kingdom?" The general surnamed Yuan was very troublesome, and General Ben didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to suppress all his dissatisfaction. ”
He put the slightly green tea to his lips and took a sip: "Everything depends on what the prince wants." ”
Shen Xie sneered: "When was General Shangguan so useless? All the military power of the Shen State is in your hands, and you can still be at ease, but now you are just the remnants of the Great Yue Kingdom, and the general can't handle it well? ”
He said disdainfully: "General Shangguan can tell those people in Dayue Kingdom that it is impossible for them to meet the regent princess, they are in Shen Kingdom, it is better to live a low-key life, otherwise this king does not know which day he will be in a bad mood, so he will take care of them." ”
"The regent is doing things so ruthlessly, isn't he afraid that the princess regent will find out and make trouble with you?" He shook his head, "The matter is not as simple as the regent thinks, after all, it is also tens of thousands of lives, General Ben thinks that it is better to discuss with the princess regent, whether she sees it or not is her business, if she is really willing to cut off all ties with the mother country, then it will have nothing to do with you and me." ”
After that, he looked at Xiao Qi, who was smiling very sweetly at the horse race on the racecourse: "The regent often brings such a beautiful woman by his side, does the princess have no opinion?" ”
He put down the teacup and rubbed the ring on his hand: "The prince still has to learn to avoid suspicion, after all, people are terrible." ”
"Sitting in a position like you and me, what's the use of being fearful?" Shen Xie glanced at Shangguan Zimo, "But if you talk about the four words that people are terrible, General Shangguan already has a wife, so there is no need to care so much about the princess of this king, not to mention, the general's wife was born in Jiangmen, just to let her know that General Shangguan cares about other women so much, I am afraid that there will be a lot of excitement in the general's mansion." ”
Shangguan Zimo didn't expect that Shen Xie, who doesn't like to chat with others on weekdays, would choke himself all the time today.
He was thinking about how to block it back when the racecourse, which had been noisy, suddenly fell silent, and both of them involuntarily looked up at the door of the racecourse.
Lu Ziyue was dressed in red, and walked slowly under Mu Hua's support.
She had a thick layer of fat powder attached to her face, and her mouth was coated with a thick layer of lipstick, which was red.
Dressed up to attend the racecourse, Shangguan Zimo and Shen Xie saw it for the first time.
The two people riding the horse naturally also discovered Lu Ziyue, Xiao Qi took the lead in pulling the rope and dismounting, she glanced at Mrs. Shangguan apologetically, and said: "Mrs. Shangguan, my princess is here, I can only accompany you to the horse race next time, Xiao Qi is here to compensate you, and I hope Mrs. can understand." ”
"It's okay, since your princess is here, we naturally don't have a reason to continue horse racing, but, Miss Murong, your princess is handsome, not at all like the usual girls from the Great Yue Kingdom, who look soft and weak."
Mrs. Shangguan got off the horse and looked at Xiao Qi with a smile: "Let's go over quickly." ”
"Okay." Xiao Qi also smiled and nodded.
Lu Ziyue is not walking slowly, although her body is weak, she has improved much after a night of cultivation.
Shangguan Zimo and Shen Xie didn't stand still, the two of them also walked towards her, and after a while, the three of them looked at each other.
"I haven't seen General Shangguan for a long time, and the general looks much more handsome."
Lu Ziyue has never been blessed, Shangguan Zimo is a first-class protector general, and she is also a first-class regent princess, both of whom are of the same rank.
Shangguan Zimo smiled when he heard this: "The environment in the capital is much better than that of the frontier, and the general has only been back for a few days, so he feels that his complexion is indeed much better, but the princess is a little haggard, but she has not rested well recently." ”
The two of them asked and answered, as if they had forgotten, and there was still a Shen Xie standing beside them.
However, Shen Xie has never been angry about these things, he took off the cloak he was wearing outside and put it on Lu Ziyue's shoulder: "The wind is strong, don't get the wind cold." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Lu Ziyue bowed slightly.
The three of them didn't say a few words, and Mrs. Shangguan and Xiao Qi came over.
Lu Ziyue and Mrs. Shangguan were of the same rank, so they just nodded to each other and did not salute.
Speaking of which, it was the first time Lu Ziyue had seen Shangguan Zimo's wife.
Shangguan Zimo was not married when she married his wife, and after marrying, Shangguan Zimo went to the frontier to guard, Shangguan's wife is not a person who likes to be lively, and there are no happy events in Shangguan Mansion, so she generally does not participate in banquets and banquets.
So in terms of it, both of them are meeting for the first time.
"I should have called Mrs. Princess Zhenbei, but the general has always paid attention to the title in the barracks, and if there is any rudeness, I hope that the rich people will not blame."
After Lu Ziyue finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Qi standing behind him: "There was something looking for you today, but I never thought that you and the prince would come out, but Xiao Qi looks so weak, but he is a good horseback rider." ”
Xiao Qi looked at Lu Ziyue with a bright spring appearance, but he was a little worried.
Yesterday, she saw all her sadness in her eyes, and there was no reason to say that she could contain all her grief in one night.
"The princess regent spoke politely, my general didn't mention the name of the king of Zhenbei just so that he could be treated equally in the barracks, since he entered the barracks, he was a member of the military family, and it was naturally different from traditional political affairs, otherwise, I was afraid that it would attract the discord of others."
After she finished speaking, with a faint smile on her face, she walked to Shangguan Zimo's side and hugged his arm: "I am very happy to race horses with the little seventh girl today, but I have always heard that the princess regent can also ride horses, and her equestrian skills are very good, I don't know if there is such an honor today, to be able to have a discussion with the princess regent on the horse farm." ”
Madame Shangguan looked eager to try, as if today's horseback riding had really opened her interest.
However, Mrs. Shangguan was so lively, Lu Ziyue really didn't expect it.
It stands to reason that Mrs. Shangguan has been married to Shangguan Zimo for so many years, and she should have become sleek and sophisticated in dealing with people, and even if she didn't, she would not be easily interested in these things in life.
However, she is indeed a powerful character in terms of speaking, and in just a few words, she directly explained why Shangguan Zimo did not allow others to call him the king of Zhenbei.
Lu Ziyue didn't answer, and the four people next to her thought she was thinking about whether to get on the horse.
Shen Xie knew that although Lu Ziyue was a person who was afraid of trouble, not to mention the cumbersome dress she wore today, she knew at a glance that she had no intention of getting on the horse.
directly refused for her: "The princess has been in poor health recently, but I am afraid that she will not be able to ride with Mrs. Shangguan, but if Mrs. Shangguan is not happy, Xiao Qi can accompany you to ride for a while, she also loves to be lively, it seems that she also likes Mrs. Shangguan." ”
After that, Xiao Qi took a few steps forward with a smile, she had a small dimple on her face, and said sweetly: "Riding a horse with Mrs. is very interesting, Xiao Qi has not met such a powerful woman for a long time." ”
She is already petite and cute, and with such a cute appearance, it is even more unbearable to refuse.
So Mrs. Shangguan nodded, and after she promised Xiao Qi, she raised her head and looked at Shangguan Zimo and said: "In this case, the concubine will go to ride a horse for a while, but husband, although it is the first time I have seen the princess regent, I also have a feeling of familiarity at first sight for her, after riding the horse, it is better to invite the regent and the princess regent to go home for dinner together, what does the husband think?" ”
"As long as you're happy, I'll help you ask the two of them for their opinions later."
Shangguan Zimo has always loved this wife who has advanced and retreated, so naturally he will not have the intention of not agreeing to her.
So, under the erected shed, there were only three of them.
Shen Xie took a few steps back to the position just now and sat down, and Lu Ziyue naturally sat next to him.
Shangguan Zimo was not polite, and after taking a pot of tea from the attendant standing on the side, he poured a cup for Lu Ziyue, who had not drunk water since he came in.
He was not taboo at all, and he didn't seem to be afraid that Shen Xie would be angry because of this.
Of course, Shen Xie didn't take Shangguan Zimo's little trick in his eyes, he bent his index finger and gently tapped the table, looking at Lu Ziyue, who was dressed up: "You would never come to this kind of occasion, since you are here today, then there must be something to find me, say, something." ”
