Chapter 44: The Prince Who Sent the White Horse

On this day, after Nianyun finished handling the affairs, Fang sat down in Yiqiu Palace, but he heard a report from outside: Guo Sanlang is here.

Nianyun jumped.

Since she married into the East Palace, Guo Jun has rarely come to the East Palace, only occasionally, and most of the time she has seen Li Chun in the Chongwen Palace and left, she has not seen Guo Jun for two or three months.

Nianyun hurriedly asked where Guo Yan was, and Lu Luo said: "San Lang is coming out of Chongwen Pavilion and walking towards us, I heard that he sent a white horse to Eleven Niang......

Nianyun was surprised and delighted, "Quick, I'm going out to meet the third brother!" ”

didn't care about his appearance, he lifted his skirt and ran out, and as soon as he ran down the steps, he saw Guo Lu striding over.

"Third brother!"

Guo Yan smiled, and put his hands on Nianyun's shoulders: "Let me see, the small kitchen in the East Palace is good, and I haven't seen any thinness." ”

For a while, many words were choked in my throat, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "These days, you don't come to see me......"

Guo Yan smiled and reassured: "In the past, you and Chun did not have a good relationship, but the foreign man of your mother's family always came to disturb you, but what is the reason?" No need to gossip. In the future, I'll see you more. ”

Nianyun's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly saw a small eunuch behind Guo Fei probing his brain, sneaking out of what he was doing, and when he saw her eyes coming, he hurriedly hid behind Guo Yun.

Nian Yun thought that there should not be such a ghostly and unruly little eunuch in the East Palace, so he asked, "What are you doing with a little eunuch?" ”

Guo Yan looked behind him and said with a smile: "As soon as I entered the door, this little eunuch rushed out of the corner of the door and hit me. ”

Nianyun frowned, the figure of this little eunuch seemed to be a little familiar.

She walked over and dragged the "little eunuch" out from behind Guo Yan: "What are you doing, Chang'er?" ”

Li Chang, the county lord of Deyang, was hesitant behind Guo Yan: "I'...... I was just...... Just want to go out and visit the market......"

Li Chang has been avoiding Nianyun these days because of the last time he sent wine, so he was embarrassed to come to her, so he had to pretend to be a little eunuch and sneak out to play.

Nian Yun was helpless: "I knew I couldn't afford to offend me, you shouldn't have hurt me in the first place!" ”

Li Chang saw that he hit the muzzle of the gun today, and it turned out that the young man who was skilled was the brother of the eldest sister-in-law, so he simply walked out generously: "Sister-in-law touches her conscience and speaks, has Chang'er ever hurt her sister-in-law!" ”

"Okay, okay, you didn't harm me, it's your brother and sister who are complicit!" Nianyun smiled and took her hand: "If you want to go out to play, you should always let me know." The people outside are redundant, and it's good to bump it! That's it, I'll take you out tomorrow! ”

Guo Yan smiled and looked at the two sisters-in-law, so harmonious, it can be seen that her sister's life in the East Palace is not too difficult.

Nian Yun pulled Guo Yan's sleeve and introduced to Li Chang: "This is the third brother I told you before, brother, this is the county lord of Deyang." ”

Guo Yan bowed and bowed deeply: "I don't know if it's the county lord, I have a lot of offense, and I hope the county lord will forgive me." ”

At that time, Guo Yan was nineteen years old, and his stature had grown, and he looked more upright than Li Chun, standing there with a smile on his eyebrows, and the whole person became more and more heroic.

The weather was very good, Guo Li stood in the sunshine, and the smile on his face was also stained with bright sunshine.

Li Chang has always had only his brother in his eyes, as long as he is one and a half points worse than her brother, he can't get into her eyes again. The first time she saw Guo Yan, her heart couldn't help but skip a few beats, and she was stupidly stunned.

Nian Yun remembered that Lu Luo said that he had sent a white horse, and he intended to find a topic, so he smiled and said, "Where is the horse that my brother sent for me?" ”

Fennel smiled on the side: "Madame is so happy that she can't tie the horse to our yard, San Lang must have someone send it to the stable." ”

Guo Yan smiled: "No, do you remember the untamable white horse, my father has not had much energy to care about it in recent years, so I told him that Chun is also a person who likes to ride and shoot, so I simply gave it to you." The horse had been locked up in the stable for more than a year, and it happened that his temperament was almost worn out. ”

Nian Yun shook Guo Yan's arm: "I know that the third brother loves me." ”

Not long after Nian Yunchu took charge of the East Palace, Guo Yan also knew that he couldn't tell the truth, so it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he put down some gadgets and snacks brought from outside, sat down for a while, and then said goodbye.

Li Chang was more anxious than Nianyun, and he wanted to see the good horse, but he didn't change his clothes, so he pulled Nianyun and ran directly to the stable.

The stables in the East Palace were very large, and Nian Yun recognized at a glance the white horse that had not even trimmed his mane, although his bones were still tall and strong, because he had been locked up for a year, his fur was not so smooth, and he was locked in a separate pen.

Unlike the local horses, this horse also has a slightly longer ring of hair at the ankle, which looks like a tassel when walking.

Li Chang exclaimed: "This horse is so beautiful!" ”

Nianyun walked up to the white horse, but the horse just ignored her with a cold and arrogant temperament. Li Chang was about to open the door and go in, but was pulled by her.

She looked at its eyes, and only felt that there was a look in those dark eyes that was indistinguishable from that of a human, full of resentment and unwillingness to everything around her, but she refused to bend down and die.

Nian Yun stood by the stable for about half an hour, fearlessly making eye contact with the animal's most primitive and pure eyes. After looking at each other for a long, long time, Nianyun sighed: "You were born in the grassland of Mobei, and I have no way to send you back." You've always lived, and I know you don't want to die humbly like a slave. If you can understand and cooperate well, I will not disgrace you. ”

Bai Ma still looked at her, and he didn't know if he understood a sentence or not. Nian Yun instructed the horse herd to give it enough clean drinking water, and turned around and left with Li Chang.

On the second day, Nianyun came to the stable again, looked at the horse for most of the hour, said a few words, and went back.

By the third day, the stables knew she was coming, and cleaned up the stables exceptionally clean. Nianyun rewarded the stable, and still stood in front of the white horse. Looking at the time of a stick of incense, Nian Yun instructed, "Take a liter of fried oats." ”

The stableman took the oats, and Nianyun grabbed a handful, reached into the fence, and spread out his palms.

Fried oats give off an enticing aroma. The white horse snorted, it hadn't eaten in the East Palace for three days, it had only drunk some water, and now it smelled the fragrance of oats, it was a great temptation. But just succumb to humanity like this? is still a woman who looks powerless, and she is always a little unwilling.

Nianyun stretched out his hand and waited for half a pillar of incense, but it didn't come over. Nianyun then retracted his hand and told the stableman to take the oats away. Nian Yun smiled, successfully capturing the reluctance in Bai Ma's eyes.

Nianyun pretended not to see it, sighed, and walked out.

After more than an hour, she came again, and took not only the fried oats in her hand, but also a tender cucumber, walked to the stable, folded a small piece of cucumber, and chewed it crunchy. Hakuma glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and swallowed his saliva without a breath. Nian Yun smiled and put the remaining half of the cucumber into the railing, his eyes were quite harmless.

The white horse struggled for a moment, but in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation, and moved over one small step at a time.

You know, the stables poured hay into the manger, and at most two spoons of bean cakes were mixed together. A tender and sweet cucumber is a great delicacy for a horse!

The cucumber was still two inches away from its lips when it stopped hesitantly.

Nian Yun could obviously put the cucumber into its mouth with a slight movement of her wrist, but she didn't move, waiting for it to eat it by itself. There is a little naughty in his eyes, as if to say: You have already walked over, the delicious food is in your mouth, and you are still short of stretching your neck?

After a long psychological struggle, Bai Ma finally did not resist the temptation of food, opened his mouth and bit off more than half of it, and swallowed it directly, almost not biting Nianyun's hand. Nianyun didn't care either, and took the bag of fried oats he brought.

Hakuba's hunger was completely seduced, and he gulped down and snorted until he was snorting.

Because it hadn't eaten for several days, Nianyun didn't dare to give it too much at one time, so after eating this liter of oats, he didn't give it any more food. She tentatively reached out to touch its mane, and although it looked impatient, it was soft-mouthed, and it didn't hide too much. Nianyun touched it a few times, and happily called the stableman to come and change it with fresh drinking water, and left the stable.

On the fourth day, Nianyun came again and fed two liters of oats. This time she was wearing a riding outfit, and she looked heroic, and since then she has changed her riding clothes to the stables every day.

Half a month later, she was able to open the door of the stable and go in to feed. Bai Ma Yin and her are already familiar with her, no longer avoiding her approach and touch, and naturally enjoy the delicious food she brings.

Nianyun began to slowly tease it out of the stable again. Because she didn't wear a halter and was difficult to control, she had arranged for a few strong eunuchs to hide next to her with a horse pole in advance. Luckily, there were no surprises, and although Hakuba was wary at first, she just took him around the stable and brought it back with her.

After nearly ten days like this, although Li Chang did not have Nianyun's patience, he often came to see the horse, knowing that Nianyun was gradually getting acquainted with it.

On this day, Nianyun deliberately changed into a convenient Hu clothes, still finished feeding the oats, and took it to a clearing near the stable with Li Chang. Hakuba's vigilance had been completely exhausted by her, and he walked with her leisurely.

Nian Yun gently stroked the mane of the white horse, walking and walking, Li Chang saw the opportunity, but suddenly grabbed the horse's mane and jumped on the horse's back with a quick leap.

The white horse was startled, and felt a little annoyed, and spread his hooves and ran as fast as he could, until he ran out of the stable, trying to throw the man on his back off.

Li Chang's riding skills are acceptable, and those who have pestered Li Chun to teach her for a long time in the past are not idle people. She lowered her body and pressed herself to the horse's back, her legs clamped around the horse's belly, and her arms wrapped tightly around the horse's neck, and she could not help it even if it ran wildly.

Nian Yun looked frightened, she was also planning to find an opportunity to ride on horseback, but Li Chang took the lead.

It's just that Li Chang has only followed her these days, and has never personally touched the horse, so he can't help but worry, and at this time, he only commanded those pre-arranged eunuchs and horse stables to look for opportunities with horse poles.
