Chapter 219: Unraveling the Secret
Xiao Mingyue and Li Yuanxu came to the fence where the horses were kept, and saw that there were all kinds of horses, although Xiao Mingyue could ride horses, but she didn't know much about horses, and when she raised her eyes to see a white horse, she didn't think she had seen a few more glances.
The guards guarding the stables were very good at observing words and feelings, and when they saw that Xiao Mingyue liked this white horse quite much, they said with a smile: "The girl has good eyesight, this horse is a descendant of Lu Ma!" But the personality is a bit introverted, and if the girl rides, she has to be attentive to it!"
"So you like this horse! It's really beautiful!" Li Yuanxu said approvingly.
"I look good, I'm afraid I can't control the other fierce horses, I'm very close to this horse!" Xiao Mingyue said.
"Then pull it out!" Li Yuanxu said to the guards.
Then, the guard led the white horse out of the fence and said to Xiao Mingyue: "This horse had no owner before, you were its first owner, and it will be yours in the future!"
Xiao Mingyue stroked the white horse's fur and asked with a smile, "What's its name?!"
The guard shook his head, smiled, and said, "It's not named yet!"
"No name? And what should I name you?!" Xiao Mingyue looked at the little white horse and asked.
"Since you are a stallion, then I will call you Shaobai!" Xiao Mingyue said to the little white horse.
"Come on!" Li Yuanxu tugged on the reins and said to Xiao Mingyue.
"Good!" Xiao Mingyue easily sat in the saddle with three times and divided by two.
"Yes, some qualifications." Li Yuanxu nodded and said.
"The king doesn't have to lead the horse for me, I'll ride slowly, no problem!" Xiao Mingyue smiled at Li Yuanxu and said, the subtext is that she wants him to ride his own horse, so as not to be so eye-catching, although I don't know if Li Yuanxu is annoyed by Ziji's words, or because of his appearance. is a little enthusiastic about herself, but Xiao Mingyue just wants to end it as soon as possible, although she can't put herself into it!
"Drive!" Xiao Mingyue waved the whip, "Kick", and the horse ran out.
"Not bad!" Li Yuanxu sighed in place.
Then he also picked a horse, jumped over, straddled the horse, and chased after Xiao Mingyue.
Zi Ji, who was sitting in the same place, drank the stuffy wine alone, and said angrily: "Now that the king has a new love, he has forgotten the old man!" I know that I am better at equestrianism than that witch, but the king took her on horseback, and I should not have come if I knew so!"
"Mother, or the slave will accompany you to ride a horse?" The maid asked.
"No need, the king doesn't want me to go, and it's just a matter of annoying people if I go. Doesn't that demon girl look a little like the king's biological mother! The king shouldn't have done that for her!" As she spoke, Shihime clenched her fists tightly and pierced her two-inch-long nails deep in her palms.
Although Xiao Mingyue has not ridden a horse for a long time, her basic skills are still there, and Li Yuanxu is with her, and she has no intention of competing with others.
In the end, several noble sons took the first place, the second place, and the third place in turn.
"I'm the one who has caused the king." Xiao Mingyue got off the horse and said.
"It's none of your business, this king deliberately let them!" Li Yuanxu said.
Then Xiao Mingyue said: "The king must be thirsty!" Over there, Zi Ji Niangniang seems to have poured tea for the king!"
Then Xiao Mingyue returned to the seat with Li Yuanxu, and Zi Ji really saw Li Yuanxu get off the horse, so she prepared refreshments early in the morning.
While pouring tea for Li Yuanxu, he said coquettishly: "The king is tired!" After riding a circle of horses, quickly taste the Mengding tea that the concubine poured for the king, which was just sent to the palace! This time I came out for horse racing, and the concubine just wanted to bring some to quench the king's thirst!"
After Li Yuanxu took it, he took a sip and said, "This tea is not bad, but it is better to quench your thirst with sake!"
When Zi Ji heard this, she hurriedly bowed and said, "It's the concubine's inconsiderate consideration, I hope the king will forgive her sins!"
"Get up! What sin are you? Concubine Ai is good everywhere, but she is always jealous, and this problem needs to be changed!" Li Yuanxu said.
Zi Ji listened, looked at Xiao Mingyue, and said with a smile: "What the king taught is that the concubines will definitely change, and they will no longer be jealous!"
Then he rolled his eyes, showed a smile on his face, walked in front of Xiao Mingyue, and said to her: "Sister Wu'er, I have offended a lot, I can't compensate you now." When you return to the palace in a while, you can take my carriage! We sisters can also chat and say some things about the ladies!"
Xiao Mingyue didn't put her mind on Zi Ji's coquettishness and Li Yuanxu's amorous feelings, but kept thinking about the whole thing in her heart, from the old black witch to the white tower, to the woman in the portrait, and linked the matter of the 'eldest princess' that Zi Ji said with Li Yuanxu's dream talk, and there is a chance that a conclusion can be reached, but it still needs to be further verified, and I also heard that Zi Ji wants to be alone with herself, which is also a good opportunity, I can't ask for it!
"Sister Wu'er? Sister Wu'er!? But if you don't want to, I won't force you, and your days in the palace will be long in the future!" It's not too late for me to see you again!" Zi Ji said again.
"Thank you Zi Ji Niangniang for your love, Wu'er can go back to the palace with Zi Ji Niangniang, it is a great honor!" Xiao Mingyue said to Zi Ji.
Zi Ji originally thought that Xiao Mingyue would not agree, so that she could show her generosity in front of Li Yuanxu, if Xiao Mingyue did not agree, then in front of Li Yuanxu, it was Xiao Mingyue who cared about her, and she didn't have to be in the same car with Xiao Mingyue, but she didn't expect Xiao Mingyue to agree, and she was jealous in her heart again.
Li Yuanxu also looked at Xiao Mingyue with some surprise, nodded, and was even more impressed by this little girl who was exactly the same as Xiao Mingyue.
said to Caiping: "Good students take care of Ziji Niangniang and Wu'er Girl!" Something happened, take you and ask!"
So Xiao Mingyue and Zi Ji got into her carriage together.
Zi Ji is not called Zi Ji, it can be seen that she likes purple very much, the curtain of the carriage and the soft couch in the car are purple, but purple is quite a bewitching color, and Zi Ji's character is also very similar. Xiao Mingyue looked at all the decorations in the car and thought to herself.
Zi Ji looked at Xiao Mingyue very defensively, with jealousy, disgust, and disdain in her eyes.
"Niangniang, you are so good-looking, like a fairy! If I were a man, I would do anything for you!" Xiao Mingyue opened her mouth and praised Zi Ji.
Zi Ji didn't understand why Xiao Mingyue wanted to flatter herself? Do you think you really want to treat her like a sister?!, so she chuckled and said, "Sister Wu'er's mouth is so sweet, no wonder the king is so infatuated with you!"
"Obsessed with me? Not really! The mother misunderstood! The king rode a horse with me, but it was just a fresh picture, and the one who loved me was you!" Xiao Mingyue began to pretend to be confused.
"Come on! Sister Wu'er is really modest, who doesn't know, the king stayed in your Furong Xuan last night? You have only been in the palace for three or two days, and you are so favored, and the days of concubine favors in the future are still to come!" When Zi Ji said this, Xiao Mingyue felt a full vinegar smell even if her eyes were closed.
"Niangniang really misunderstood, the king did stay in Furong Xuan last night, but the king didn't touch me, he just got drunk and slept in my bed, and I didn't sleep with the king!" Xiao Mingyue hurriedly explained.
"What you say is true?!" Zi Ji hurriedly asked.
"Naturally, I was telling the truth. If I can take care of my mother, Wu'er will be my mother's person in the future, even if the king pities me and gives me some favor, Wu'er believes it, but it is at most one-thousandth of Niangniang!"
A few words of humility and obedience, Zi Ji smiled when she heard it, and she no longer had a defensive heart against Xiao Mingyue!
Xiao Mingyue knows better in her heart that for a woman like Zi Ji, as long as her vanity and self-esteem are satisfied, it is equivalent to mastering her!
"Wu'er still has something to hide, Niangniang!" Xiao Mingyue said.
"Since you are sincere in being my person, but it doesn't hurt to say, see if I can help you a thing or two." Zi Ji said proudly.
"To tell you the truth, last night the king was lying on Wu'er's bed, and when he was asleep, he suddenly saw the king frowning, holding the mattress tightly with both hands, and calling out 'Mother! Mother! I'm sorry kid! Don't leave your son!' I was so scared that I didn't dare to sleep all night, I don't know if the king missed his biological mother too much?!" Xiao Mingyue asked tentatively.
Zi Ji listened, her face changed greatly and said: "Sister Wu'er, I kindly remind you, you are not allowed to mention such words in the future, today I am talking about the 'princess' is the biological mother called by the king at night, is the most favored concubine when the king was alive, because of the favor so the king was appointed as the prince, but this attracted the jealousy of others, the princess was slandered and had an affair with the younger brother of the first king, the first king for the sake of face, had to 'kill the mother and keep the son', this matter the king witnessed with his own eyes, it is the psychological shadow of the king, remember not to mention it again, Otherwise, you'll be killed!"
When Xiao Mingyue heard this, she pretended to be scared, making Zi Ji believe that she was just a timid little girl.
Seeing Xiao Mingyue's appearance, Zi Ji secretly snickered in her heart, and then said: "But you look very similar to the 'Great Princess', before the Great King fell in love with the Lord Xiao of Chen State, it was also because she was very similar to the Great Princess, so the Great King sent people to beg for people three times and twice." But fortunately, you are here, if it is the pampered Xiao Mingyue, but you may want to ride on my head!"
Xiao Mingyue had no choice but to nod and say, "That's what Niangniang said." Wu'er has taken it to heart!"
"Just remember! Be obedient in the future! You can't be pampered!"
"Niangniang, I saw a beautiful white tower in the palace before, so I wanted to go over to see it, but I was stopped by the palace people, and they didn't tell me the reason, so I felt more and more curious!" Xiao Mingyue said.
"Of course you don't know! What is trapped in it is the soul of the eldest princess, and it is also full of things that the eldest princess liked when she was alive, and it is said that she often wanders out at night! She died a miserable death, so she refused to be reincarnated! In order to give her a place to live and not become a lonely ghost, the king built a white tower, and white is also the princess's favorite color. It's the old black witch doctor, the old god stick! It was he who coaxed the king to build it, and said that he could 'borrow the corpse to return the soul', and the gods chattered and made monsters......"
Speaking of which, I won't continue to talk about it, I should have thought that the witch Wu'er was the old black witch, and it would be no good to continue talking about it myself!
Xiao Mingyue also knew Zi Ji's concerns, and hurriedly expressed her sincerity and said: "Niangniang, don't worry, since Wu'er has entered the palace, she is no longer the same as a witch before, and she has nothing to do with the national teacher." The only allegiance is to the king and you!"
Zi Ji believed in Xiao Mingyue's sincerity even more, and no longer doubted it.
