Chapter Ninety-Three: Dark Clouds Treading Snow

Zhaowu asked again, "Do you know why it's called Shendu?" ”

Qin Lei shook his head and said, "Erchen only knows that it means to be cautious when alone, but he really doesn't know anything else." ”

Emperor Zhaowu pointed to a stone bench next to him and said, "Sit down and talk, I am tired from leaning my neck." ”

After Qin Lei thanked him, he sat down against the edge of the stool. Despite wearing winter clothes, I was cooled by the cold stone bench.

Zhaowu looked at him playfully, and said leisurely: "Those people with bad intentions can do any bad thing in the shadows. I still have to pretend to be a good person in front of people. In fact, in the eyes of discerning people, these people are like clowns jumping off the beam. ”

Qin Lei nodded and said, "This kind of practice of concealing evil and promoting good is useless in front of wise people. ”

The emperor bowed his head and said: "The understanding is good, and what people think in their hearts will definitely be expressed through words and deeds." It's just that sometimes it's covered up by appearances, and it's not discovered for a while. ”

After a pause, Emperor Zhaowu said to Qin Lei: "Qin Lei, I will give you a word, which can ensure that you will have no worries for the rest of your life." ”

Qin Lei got up and arched his hand and said, "The child must keep it in mind." ”

Emperor Zhaowu said word by word: "People are doing it, and the sky is watching." ”

Qin Lei bowed his head in horror and was taught.

Only then did Emperor Zhaowu smile and said, "The four words that Lao Zhuo brought you last time, I want to say them in person today." I'm so relieved. ”

After Qin Lei thanked him, Emperor Zhaowu asked him to get up and said gently: "Little Wu, although you made your father angry today. But it's a little reckless. Recalling the scene at that time, Zhaowu smiled bitterly and said: "The first court brawl in history, it must be left in the history books." ”

Qin Lei said with a smile: "The ministers there can be regarded as lingering for eternity." ”

Emperor Zhaowu said: "Don't think about it, you can't escape the title of the first 'fierce minister' in the ages." ”

Qin Lei thought for a moment and said casually: "It sounds quite magnificent. Let the son be a 'powerful minister' of his father's emperor. ”

Emperor Zhaowu was pleased: "You kid is still a little chivalrous, better than your brothers." ”

Qin Lei hurriedly shook his head and said, "The child has not read any books, and he is far worse than the imperial brothers in terms of learning, and even Qin Xiao and them are not as good as them." ”

Zhaowu shook his head and said, "If you have less knowledge, you can make up for it slowly." But the loss of virtue cannot be regained. ”

After saying so many words, Emperor Zhaowu, who had been busy all day, was a little tired, so he stopped the conversation and said to Qin Lei: "You will live in the garden for a while, and accompany your imperial grandmother well, she has been talking to you several times."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Qin Lei stayed in Changshui Pavilion, went to Cining Palace every day to talk to the old lady, and then went to Jinyu Palace to have dinner with Concubine Jin. Although he has nothing to do, he also has a good rest for his tired body and mind for half a year.

After a few days, I started to feel a little bored. He asked the guards if there was any pastime, and the guards took him to the Imperial Horse Warden. Only then did Qin Lei know that there was no concubine living in this Hualin Garden, but it was the place where the emperor went to play ball. It's just that Emperor Zhaowu likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move, so it has become a simple garden.

When he arrived at the Imperial Horse Guard, as soon as the guards talked to the Eunuch, the scrawny old eunuch took down the large bronze key hanging on the wall, sighed, and opened the door of the stable.

As soon as I entered, I saw hundreds of partitions dividing the stables into small rooms. In each of the cubicles there was a fat and strong horse. Qin Lei stayed in Beishan Ranch for half a year, but he also knew some horses. In this small stable, there are more than a dozen kinds of famous horses such as white cranes, stunning sails, Yangwu, Qinghai horses, and lion horses. It's just that the horses are bloated and have no eyes, which is caused by overeating and too little activity.

Qin Lei felt sorry in his heart, and said to the old supervisor with displeasure on his face: "These famous horses are a gift from God, how can they be treated like rookie horses?" ”

Only then did the old supervisor know that he was also a horse lover, and he couldn't help but pour bitter water: "Your Highness doesn't know, originally our royal horse here is also extraordinary." It's just that a year ago, His Majesty took Princess Yongfu to live in Hualin Garden, for fear that we would disturb the princess's recuperation. He decreed that we were forbidden to run horses in prison, so that we can be in such a situation today. ”

Qin Lei said strangely: "Why don't you go outside to run horses?" ”

The guard on the side interjected: "Fifth Master, the imperial horse can only be taken by His Majesty himself or given by the emperor to leave Hualin Garden." ”

Qin Lei comforted the old supervisor: "I will tell the emperor about this." You can't spoil the god horse of this scene. With that, he turned around and prepared to go back. He disdains to ride this kind of meat horse.

The old supervisor was about to thank him for his kindness, but when he saw that Qin Lei was leaving, he felt so sorry for him, so he said loudly: "Your Highness, some new horses were offered from all over the country yesterday. But it hasn't degraded yet. ”

Qin Lei turned around and said with a smile: "You old field supervisor, why didn't you say it earlier, I'm afraid that His Highness will not be able to ride badly?" ”

The old supervisor hurriedly laughed and said: "There is absolutely no such intention, it's just that although these horses have been tamed, they have a somewhat abnormal temper when they first arrive in the realm, and they are afraid of hurting Your Highness." ”

Qin Lei laughed and said: "His Royal Highness has also set wild horses on the grassland, so I am not afraid." ”

The old supervisor didn't say anything anymore and took Qin Lei to another stable. As soon as I entered, the situation was very different. There was no partition in the stable, and there was a long manger, and on the railings above it were sturdy horses, which snorted furiously, and their slender legs kicked on the ground. If it hadn't been for the reins of the horse, he would have crossed the railing and galloped wildly.

Qin Lei nodded and said, "This is a little bit of a look." He glanced at the horses, then pointed to a black-covered steed and said, "This is it." ”

The old supervisor looked at the domineering little stallion who occupied the position of three horses, and said carefully: "Your Highness, don't change it again." This horse's name is 'dark cloud', and his temper is like a dark cloud, and he will flash and thunder when he can't get it right. ”

Qin Lei shook his head and said, "I want it, His Highness likes it." Then he went out. The old supervisor couldn't resist it, so he took out the 'dark cloud' for him, hung up the saddle bridle, and then held the reins and didn't let go, and smiled at Qin Lei: "The villain is led by His Highness." ”

Qin Lei ignored him, stepped on the stirrup, and turned over on the horse. took the horsewhip handed over by the guard, and said to the old field supervisor: "This saddle is a bit awkward, you see what's going on." The old field supervisor didn't understand Qin Lei's character, so he let go of the reins of the horse and walked back.

Suddenly, Qin Lei whipped on the horse's buttocks, and the 'dark cloud' was in pain, screaming and running away. Leaving the old field supervisor to stomp his feet.

Qin Lei galloped in Hualin Yuan wantonly, the open space here was big enough and flat enough, and the 'dark clouds' also felt very refreshing, and he ran wildly with his legs dripping happily, not as angry as the old field supervisor said.

It's just that the winter is sluggish, and no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will be eclipsed. In addition, the snow melts, and there are spots everywhere, which makes people feel unhappy. Qin Lei vented enough, so he was ready to go back.

He's enough, but the clouds aren't enjoyable. No matter how he commands the whipping, he just doesn't slow down, and he still gallops wantonly. Qin Lei reluctantly stopped his movements and let the crazy horse take him around the garden.

"With such a wild running method, you always have a time when you are tired." Qin Lei thought indignantly.

He underestimated the endurance of this cheap horse. An hour passed, and there was still no sign of stopping.

During this time, he met the old field supervisor and the guards, but he couldn't pull down the subordinates to ask for help, and he still had to make a high-spirited appearance. attracted the admiration of the old field supervisor and guards, "Your Highness is really fierce and durable, and he deserves to be the idol of my generation." ”

Just when his back hurt from being bumped, he couldn't hold on, and he shouted wildly in his heart, "Lao Tzu is convinced." When I wanted to shout for help, there was a quiet sound of the piano not far away, like a mountain stream gurgling, and like a breeze blowing through the pine waves. Light and elegant, tranquil and distant.

Although Qin Lei didn't understand the rhythm, he was still attracted by the sound of the piano, and he was really a little intoxicated for a while.

The furious dark clouds gradually slowed down, carrying Qin Lei slowly towards the place where the sound of the piano came from.

Turning a gable, I saw a bamboo forest that was still green. After the snow melted, the long and narrow leaves still had a little wetness, and they looked even more verdant and full of life.

The sound of the piano came from behind the bamboo forest. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves outside, the sound of the piano inside stopped abruptly, and after a while, a few palace maids ran out to check.

I saw a handsome young man wearing a black patterned dragon robe, riding on a black horse. A man and a horse are all regretful.

The palace ladies immediately remembered the legend that was widely spread in the Imperial Court of the Inner Servant Province - the story of the prince in black who killed the demon. Suddenly silent, crawling to the ground.

Qin Lei said in a somewhat narcissistic voice: "Get up, who is playing the piano inside?" ”

The trembling palace maid said in a trembling voice: "Your Royal Highness, it is our Princess Yongfu,"
