Forbidden Garden, deep in the depths, a quiet courtyard.

Probably because of the area of the Forbidden Garden, there are forbidden troops such as Shence and Yulin stationed to defend the capital, and there are few idle palace maids and eunuchs in the Forbidden Garden.

Even if the forbidden army stationed here practiced daily, it also distanced itself from the courtyard for a long time.

After Xiong Yuanmu saw Liu Chenxing leave, he walked from Mafang to this small courtyard.

There were guards in armor throughout the courtyard, and they obviously knew Xiong Yuan, and when they saw Xiong Yuan coming alone, they saluted respectfully.

Xiong Yuan walked all the way through the no-man's land, passed through the heavily guarded courtyard gate, and came to the first courtyard.

There was still no need to guard the guards under the corridor of the main hall, Xiong Yuan stepped into the hall with wide shoes, bowed his hands under the hall, and replied concisely: "Back to the king, Liu Nushi chose Chili, and has now left the forbidden garden." ”

After Shen Zhongyi sat alone on the long case in front of the main hall, he had already eaten lunch, and was looking down at a scroll, there was still a pile of scrolls on the side, and when he heard the words, he put down the scroll, his phoenix eyes glanced at Xiong Yuan, hooked his lips and whispered "oh", and said: "She is not as good as the two tribute sweat and blood horses?" ”

The sentence pattern of the inquiry, but the tone is affirmative.

But Xiong Yuan still replied: "Back to the king, Liu Nushi took a fancy to Chili's ordinary breed and was not a famous horse with good blood, so he chose Chili as his mount." After a pause, he pleaded again: "The subordinates are afraid that Liu Nushi will regret it after the election, and I have repeatedly confirmed with Liu Nushi, but Liu Nushi is only a little curious about the sweat and blood BMW, but after the villain said that Chili is a hybrid Hun horse, she is more inclined to Chili, and said that she chose Chili because Chili is not a famous horse and will not attract attention, which is convenient for her to act on an errand." ”

This is the choice Liu Chenxing will make.

Shen Zhongyi then said: "This is in line with her temperament, and she is good at acting quietly." But this is also before, when she didn't become famous in one fell swoop, she could still be like this. Now she is the first person on the list since the sage opened the female imperial examination, and the sage is quite optimistic about her and has a cultivation heart. Just when she became the first place in the palace examination, Chang'an was a little bit of a doorway, and she had already explored her net worth and background clearly. Let's just say that her hot pot restaurant, who doesn't know that she is the owner behind the scenes. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Zhongyi suddenly stopped, looked past the bear under the hall, and looked into the courtyard.

After a while, Shen Zhongyi hooked his lips and smiled, but he couldn't smile at the bottom of his eyes, and said, "Since you broke in, how can you get out." ”

It was another questioning sentence, but the tone was not the slightest uncertain.

Xiong Yuan couldn't say anything about Shen Zhongyi's words with unknown meaning, and he also knew what his king said later, so he didn't ask what he meant, so he lowered his head and listened to the instructions.

Shen Zhongyi retracted his gaze, looked at the silent Xiong Yuan, and asked, "Did you tell her about the origin of Chili?" ”

Xiong Yuan raised his head slightly, and said, "My subordinates mentioned to Liu Nushi that the king of Chili was accidentally obtained in the wild. After another pause, he said: "But it is not mentioned that Chili and the king's mount Xuanli was obtained by chance in the wild together at the beginning, because Liu Nushi did not know that Chili was the same as Xuanli, and when he was still a foal, he was raised by the king himself." ”

No wonder he still chose Chili, he didn't know that he also had a mount named Xuanli.

Shen Zhongyi thought that Liu Chenxing had ridden Chili for a while, and found the relationship between Chili and Xuanli, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.

But no one found out that it was already as usual, Shen Zhongyi nodded and said, "I know, after an hour, I will return to the city." With that, he said no more, lowered his head again, picked up the scroll in his hand and read it, so as to understand the situation for tomorrow's formal inspection, so as to be fully prepared.

As soon as Xiong Yuan saw it, he understood, and with a salute of his crossed hands, he bowed his head and retreated in tacit understanding, standing outside the main hall gate, holding the long sword at his waist in his right hand, and guarding Shen Zhongyi as usual.

For a moment, the courtyard returned to its previous quietness.

In the afternoon, the autumn tiger is still exerting its might, and the yard is full of white and flickering sunlight, but fortunately, the yard is full of towering ancient trees, and the canopy is like a cloud, casting mottled shadows on both sides of the yard.

The autumn cicadas are in such a mottled courtyard, squeaking tirelessly, making this quiet yard finally a little noisy, but even more quiet and deserted.

In a courtyard, there were only the men in the hall who read the information, and the cold and solemn armored guards.

There is no silence in the forbidden garden, and soon after the market opens in Chang'an City, it is shoulder to shoulder, and the people are full of voices.

The director of the forbidden garden was thoughtful and meticulous, and saw that Liu Chenxing led Chili away, and it turned out that there was still a mount to take away, so he arranged for a miscellaneous eunuch to help Liu Chenxing lead the horse, otherwise Liu Chenxing didn't know how to equestrian, if it was an ordinary horse, it would not be easy to lead a horse.

Liu Chenxing thought that her equestrian skills were mediocre, so of course she accepted this kindness, and asked the miscellaneous eunuch to use her original mount, and the two of them went back to Daozheng Fang together to put the little brown horse home, and then she rode a brand new mount Chili, and slowly walked towards the Qujiang River in the south of the city in the flow of people.

As soon as Liu Chenxing left Daozheng Fang, a middle-aged man in a brown cloth shirt walked over with a flat pole, dressed as a small vendor walking through the streets and alleys.

It is estimated that the courtyard door of the Liu family's house looks more ordinary than the surrounding high-ranking families, and he dares to knock on the door.

"Knock knock" sounded on the door, and the vendor shouted, "Is there anyone?" Home-made chestnut cake is not delicious and does not cost money. ”

Just sent away his daughter, and was about to take the little brown horse back to the stable, the person had just walked through the lotus pond, and was still in the yard for the first time, and just heard the hawker's cry of selling impartially, Liu couldn't help but be surprised, "Most of the people who live in Daozheng Fang are high-ranking officials and nobles, and they have lived for several months, and they don't see any flat danlang walking around, how can there be anyone?" ”

Doubts are doubts, but her husband Liu Qianli is leading the horse on the side, and now the food is the most expensive, if it is true, wouldn't it be a pity?

Thinking about it, Liu glanced at her husband.

The tacit understanding between the husband and wife for more than 20 years, Liu Qianli naturally understood what Liu meant, and immediately loosened the reins and followed Liu to the gate of the courtyard.

"Squeak" opened the courtyard door, and Liu was about to say "But he sells pastries", when he saw that the person who came was a middle-aged man dressed in seventy percent of new clothes, and his words stopped, changed his words, and hesitated: "Are you ......?" ”

It seems that he didn't expect that it was a middle-aged beautiful woman who opened the door, and the middle-aged man on the side was also good-looking, so he couldn't help but be stunned, but he also reacted quickly, and immediately smiled: "Lady wants to buy pastries?" ”
