Chapter 120: Adventures in the Racecourse
Chengde has always been a place of respite for the royal family.
Since the emperor built the villa, the household registration is growing, cultivating mulberry and benefiting the city, like a metropolis, and then promoted to Chengde Mansion, and therefore, Chengde has become an important place second only to the capital at that time, and is known as the capital outside the city.
Long live the Lord even spend almost half a year here for summer vacation and handling court affairs, and meeting with minority princes and foreign envoys.
Needless to say, the scenery of Chengde is full of greenery and beauty.
It's summer, there are more people playing in the mountains and rivers, the grass in the magnolia paddock is in full bloom, and horseback riding is also a popular activity for most royal men.
Yongyan also let Mianning go with him this time, and the age of fifteen years old is the age of being active and brave.
Fortunately, following the salute by Mianning's side can also make Yongyan save snacks.
Jing Xu was three years older than Mianning, because he was the best among the children of the Eight Banners, Qianlong often praised him, and later, he became Qianlong's entourage.
It is a well-known thing that Qianlong loves Mianning, and he loves the house and Wu, so he asks Jingxu to assist Mianning from time to time.
Today, the weather is cool, and it is boring to stay in the house all day, so Yongyan asked Mianning to inform him to take him to ride a horse.
It's obviously the paddock that Yongyan proposed, but how do you look at it and think Yongyan has no spirit.
"Amma, do you want to shoot arrows?" Seeing that Ama didn't seem to be interested in anything, Mianning asked Yongyan with a bow and arrow.
"You go, Ama won't go, let Jingxu accompany you." Yongyan waved his hand and looked at Mianning quietly, Mianning has a daring personality, quite the shadow of the Long Live Lord, no wonder the Long Live Lord loves this grandson, even Yongyan is ashamed of his son's courage.
After staying like this for a while, Yongyan felt a little bored, so he went to ride a horse by himself.
"Lord Wang, will the minister go with you?" Tozin had stayed up for a few nights, and his eyes were so red.
"You go back and rest, I'll go by myself." Yongyan also wanted to distract himself, but Tojin couldn't calm down.
After changing into comfortable clothes, Yongyan walked to the racecourse.
The children of the Eight Banners are good at riding and shooting, and they use this as a sign of qualified children of the Eight Banners, and all the horses that can be called by name are here.
When Yongyan went, there was only one person in the racecourse.
Dressed in riding clothes, he is leading a horse.
When Yongyan was thinking about who this guy was, when he turned around, he was shocked to find that it was a woman, and the person riding a horse was actually a woman!
This woman's eyebrows are clear, her face is full of determination, and she really has a cold temperament.
When the horse walked past Yongyan, the woman probably didn't know Yongyan and didn't even look at him.
In an instant, Yongyan felt that he was being ignored, how could he think that something was wrong, and looked back at the woman who was running on horseback, and the deep desire to conquer was hooked up.
Untied the rope of a horse, Yongyan changed the softness when he came, "Drive!" A voice followed.
In front of the huge paddock is a woman running, and Yongyan is chasing behind.
As if chasing prey, Yongyan became more and more interested, and followed her neither fast nor slow.
Finally, the woman who noticed the abnormality slowly stopped, "Woo ......"
She looked at Yongyan puzzled, and asked unhappily, "What are you doing with me?" β
Yongyan smiled, quite fresh, "What's your name?" β
The woman frowned, "You are such an interesting person, you ask what the person's name is when you meet for the first time, and you are not ashamed, I won't tell you!" β
Yongyan smiled and shook his head, it was really childlike, "Then how can you tell me?" β
The woman raised her nose and was quite unconvinced, "Unless you catch up with me!" β
Before the words fell, a "Drive!" "Rise up.
Looking at the woman's smug look, Yongyan couldn't help but be moved.
Uncontrolled "drive-drive-drive"
I have to say that the woman probably rides a horse a lot, and let Yongyan keep chasing behind, but the gap is still widening little by little.
The woman glanced sideways from time to time, and when she realized that Yongyan really couldn't keep up, she looked back at him and smiled, and said proudly: "I'll practice with you next timeββ"
After saying that, he sped up, and after a while, Yongyan couldn't see her.
Hey?
Who is this woman? even dared to "tease" himself.
After riding back, Tozin really found a difference, when he went, the prince lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, and when he came back, he smiled at the corner of his mouth, how to see how he was in a beautiful mood.
He still wondered, what's wrong with the master?
After returning to the residence, there was no time to change clothes, so Yongyan let Sibao in, "You go and find out who the woman is in the racecourse." β
"Yes, the minion is going!"
Sibao scratched his head in confusion, woman? Racecourse?
This will be investigated in a while.
During the day, Sibao was arranged to find her, and in the afternoon, Yongyan received a notice from Huang Ama to hold a banquet.
It just so happened that Langjuan came to find the prince.
"Lord, the concubine has been prepared, let Lan Xin wait for you to change your clothes."
Yongyan said: "Okay." β
The place where the banquet was held was not far away, and it was only a few steps away.
It seems that the emperor's interest is quite high, and it is not a small fight.
Yongxuan sat behind Yongyan with Yixin, looking a little lonely, in short, not too happy, and had been drinking.
The dance of the row also added a little bit of Chengde's characteristics, which looks really pleasing to the eye.
The emperor was happy, and hearty laughter sounded from time to time.
As long as the emperor is happy, this banquet will be more than half successful.
"Huang Ama seems to be in a good mood." Lang Juan couldn't help but admire Huang Ama for being so old, and his spirit was still so strong.
Yongyan took a glass of wine and responded: "Yes, from the beginning of the year to the present, Huang Ama has been in a chaotic state, and this trip to Chengde is indeed a little different." β
After the dance, applause rang out.
Su Zhiling, the close eunuch of Huang Ama, said: "The next thing is to dance with the daughter of the courtesy!" β
Long live the Lord removed the wine glass and put on the teacup.
Su Zhiling made the Longjing before the Ming Dynasty for the Long Live Lord, and this tea is full of charm.
Tasting tea is only a cup, and the sound of silk and bamboo starts.
The sound of the flute and the sound of the pipa rises lightly, the long sleeves dance, countless delicate petals gently fly between the heaven and the earth, the maids have buds that bloom, spread out to the surroundings, in the rain of flowers, a beautiful girl in white, the tulle mask is even more like nothing, such as the empty valley orchid appeared, with her light and graceful, ethereal dance, wide sleeves open and close to cover, but also set off her beautiful posture.
Suddenly, the notes turned, as passionate and powerful as a galloping horse, and everyone watched her powerful dance in fascination, almost forgetting to breathe.
As the notes come to an abrupt end, the woman's movements come to a perfect end.
After a long time, the people who reacted burst into thunderous applause.
"Good! Reward! Long live the corners of his eyes, his interest is undiminished, and he is very satisfied.
I saw the woman taking off her veil lightly, with light makeup and bright eyes, with a bit of courage in her beauty, one more is too sassy, and one less is too charming.
Yongyan was a little lazy and sleepy, but when he saw the woman, he instantly came to his senses, isn't this the woman he met in the racecourse during the day?
I saw that the woman saluted without being soft or timid, and said, "Hou Jia. Shao Ying, thank you, Your Majesty! β
