Chapter 929: Ranch Horseback Riding
After that, Yun Zhi was still a little curious, but she didn't stop any longer, so soon, they came to the ranch where they were going to ride this afternoon.
Of course, Yang Feng and Cao Xing were already waiting in front of the gate on the east side of the ranch, and when they saw Yun Xi and his party coming, they immediately knelt down and saluted. Of course, Yunxi also dismounted and helped the two of them up. And said: "I have said to the two of you many times, and today I am on patrol in micro-service, you two hurry up." ”
Yang Feng and Cao Xing also realized that Yun Xi's actions were not for others to show face, but indeed to treat the two of them a little preferentially, so they stood up with a smile: "The ministers didn't expect that the official family would go out on patrol today, in this case, when they returned to the city, the ministers were like the noble sons of the noble family." But this is a royal ranch, and there are no ordinary people, so how can the ministers not follow the etiquette? ”
Yun Xi said a few more words, and when he saw that they insisted on doing so, he just walked into the ranch hand in hand. But at this moment, suddenly a woman's chuckle came from not far away, Yang Feng and Cao Xing immediately turned their heads, and saw that under the escort of many guards not far away, a person who could still be seen to be a woman from his slender figure although he had blocked most of his face with his hat.
"The minister Cao Xing (Yang Feng) has seen His Highness." Although the two of them were surprised in their hearts, they did not delay time because of surprise at all, and even knelt down as if this person was a princess or a princess without determining whether the person in front of them was a princess or a princess. Even if you make a mistake, it's okay, at least you show your respect.
Yun Zhi didn't expect that she just chuckled and made both of them kneel, and hurriedly turned her head to look at Yun Xi, who smiled at her and motioned for her to dispose of it herself; Yun Zhi also jumped off the horse and said: "Today is me and the imperial brother out of the palace, since the imperial brother said that he is not subject to your courtesy, how dare I accept it?" Let's all go flat. ”
Because Yang Feng had been a guard in the past, he heard that this was Yun Zhi's voice, and immediately said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess Huainan. He kowtowed again and stood up; Cao Xing heard him say this, and immediately followed suit.
After Yun Zhi finished answering the salute, they set off again and walked into the ranch again. However, this time, Cao Xing and the others didn't dare to be as close to Yun Xi as they did just now, but deliberately gave up their place, followed them into the ranch, got on their horses and rode up. Originally, they wanted to take the opportunity of riding a horse to communicate more with Yun Xi, but now that Her Royal Highness the princess is by Her Majesty's side, even if the emperor tells them to go over, they don't dare to go over, for fear of hearing something they shouldn't hear.
However, Yang Feng still felt that something was not right: "Why does Her Royal Highness the Princess often turn back to me?" There is neither anyone nor anything behind me, what is Your Highness looking at? Yang Feng, who couldn't think that Yun Zhi had a reason to pay attention to him, thought.
At the same time, Yun Zhi turned around and said to Yun Xi: "Yang Feng looks better now than he did three years ago, it's not that he looks good, but, well, yes, by the way, it's what kind of temperament you said Brother Huang, the temperament is different from before." It looks more calm, if it was like an out-of-body sword three years ago, now the edge of this sword has been covered by the scabbard, if you don't pay attention, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it, but if you notice, I'm afraid you will be taken by his momentum. ”
"I think he is more suitable for the second sister than three years ago, the second sister is soft on the surface, but soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and her mind is extremely firm, and she will not change her mind; At that time, Yang Feng was also sharp, and he would not give in easily, and he was afraid that it would not be good to live together. Now that Yang Feng's Meng Mang has been restrained, I'm afraid it will be much better. ”
In fact, Yun Xi thought the same way, after the experience in the position of deputy commander-in-chief, Yang Feng was much calmer than before, and he was no longer stubborn about many things, and he was more suitable for living together. However, he still joked: "Fourth sister, you are only fourteen years old, and you are so old that you are like reading countless people to comment on Yang Feng." ”
"Oh, third brother, my sister is talking to you seriously, but you are making fun of your sister." Yun Zhi said nonchalantly.
Yun Xi teased her a few more words, and seeing that Yun Zhi, who was not thick-skinned, had a tendency to flush, he immediately stopped his words and smiled: "Brother won't tease you, let's try to ride a horse," he said, pointing to a big tree in the distance. "For the sake of this tree, whoever arrives first wins."
"Okay." Yun Zhi didn't talk about the topic just now, and said with great interest: "Don't look at my sister who hasn't been out of the palace for two years, but the riding skills are not left behind, and my brother may not be able to win." ”
"Okay, then let my brother see your riding skills." Yun Xi smiled.
The two of them then asked one of the guards to act as the referee, chose the position to set out, and turned the horse's head to prepare. Yun Xi also said to Yang Feng and Cao Xing: "You two also come and give it a try, let me see how the riding skills are." The two of them could only agree.
Soon, with a whistle, four horses ran up from one place at the same time, running to the tree in front of them. However, if you look closely, you can immediately see that two of the riders are releasing water, Yang Feng and the two of them dare not compare with the emperor, even if they are barely compared, they dare not let go and run.
In fact, Yun Zhi is the same. She deliberately told Yunxi that he might not be able to win, just to arouse his competitive spirit, so that he would be happier when she lost to him: although she was young, she understood this.
But Yun Zhi couldn't release water like Yang Feng and them, and at the beginning, the two horses went hand in hand and didn't give in to each other. Until she was only thirty or fifty zhang away from the big tree, Yun Zhi saw that her horse was still a little ahead, so she had to gently pull the reins to let the horse slow down a little, and then catch up, so that she could lose to Yun Xi without a trace. Yun Hee is now riding hard and will not pay attention to her movements, and the guards who follow behind will not say anything even if they see it.
But the unexpected happened. After all, Yun Zhi has not ridden a horse outside the palace for two years, and her equestrian skills are actually not as good as Yun Xi, and the cooperation with the horse is not successful, but she is light and lucky, and she is slightly ahead, at this time, she pulled the reins, and the winged body under the seat swayed slightly, Yun Zhi did not grasp it for a while, and her body was to the left side, and she was about to fall down.
The guards who followed immediately shouted, "Your Highness." Then they sped up and rushed to save her, even though they knew it was useless to rush over, but they still chased after her.
Yun Xi heard the shouts from behind him, and suddenly knew that something was wrong, grabbed the reins, turned his head, and saw that Yun Zhi's body was already crooked, as if she was about to fall. He quickly turned his horse's head to save her.
At the critical moment, Yun Zhi's practice of martial arts on weekdays played a role. She held the reins in her left hand, grabbed the saddle with her right hand, and hooked the rope that tied the saddle to the horse with her right foot, and held her body steady, so that she did not fall off the horse's back. When the horse stopped, she slowly let go of her hands and feet and jumped off the horse. Standing on the ground and panting for breath.
