Chapter 5 Horseback riding
Drifting Snow Pavilion
The day was already dawning, but at this time, almost all the people in the Drifting Snow Pavilion were still asleep, after all, the Drifting Snow Pavilion was open late at night, and the work and rest were naturally unusual.
At this moment, Yu Hongxue is sitting in the stands of this Drifting Snow Pavilion, worried, Lin Hiding Si has been taken away for almost a day and a night, and she doesn't know whether she is dead or alive, if this Lin Hiding Si doesn't come back, what will this Drifting Snow Pavilion say in the future, plus she is worried that Prince Duan will be angry with Drifting Snow Pavilion, thinking that she poured herself a sip of wine.
"Pavilion Master, do you need me to have two drinks with you?"
If it weren't for Yu Hongxue, who was upset at this time, the listener would feel as if he was in the bamboo forest in the early morning, with a breeze and Buddha face, quiet and peaceful.
Yu Hongxue knew that it was Xiao Haitang when she heard it, and said angrily: "You can drink if you want, less nonsense." ”
Xiao Haitang smiled, sat down next to Yu Hongxue, filled Yu Hongxue's empty cup with wine, poured herself another glass of wine, and then opened her lips and asked, "Who took Doesi away this time, even you have such a headache?"
Yu Hongxue smiled bitterly, then looked around, and said softly: "It is the Prince Duan who used to be in the military power, but now he doesn't care about the government and politics, spends freely, and acts incomprehensibly." ”
Xiao Haitang knew it in her heart when she heard it, no wonder it gave Yu Hongxue such a headache, if Yu Hongxue, who was an official in the court, could still find a relationship, Sesai Yinliang could always get people out, but this Prince Duan ......
In order to comfort Yu Hongxue, Xiao Haitang said; "It's useless for you to worry now, you can only rely on thinking about herself for now."
Yu Hongxue smiled bitterly again: "Don't you know that she is a person, that little brain is all used to write these messy books, now she is in the hands of the prince, can you keep herself, I am afraid that if I anger the prince again, we will suffer together with the people of Piaoxue Pavilion." ”
When Xiao Haitang heard this, he was reasonable, and he poured himself a sip of wine to suppress his shock.
Duan's Prince's Mansion
"Sir, this is the breakfast that the prince ordered us to bring you"
The maid of the palace brought breakfast to Lin Dosi according to Ning Zheng's instructions, and Lin Dosi was in good spirits as soon as he smelled the aroma of the food, and hurriedly found a chair to sit down and waited for the maid to put breakfast in front of him.
From yesterday when he was brought to Duanwang's Mansion until now, Lin Yusi has not entered a drop of water, and when he talked to Ning Zheng in the morning, he felt that he was a ghost and walked around, as if his body had been hollowed out, and his chest was attached to his back.
Originally, she woke up yesterday to find an apple on the table, and she wanted to eat it, but because she was worried that it was a poisonous apple, she swallowed her saliva and forgot it.
She's a person who often misuses caution.
As soon as the maids put down their breakfast, Lin Yusi's eyes lit up, and then he devoured it.
One is that I am too hungry.
The second is that the food in this palace is really attractive: bird's nest porridge, crystal balls, whitebait soup, fried spring rolls, big white steamed buns, jujube sugar cakes......
The intention of preparing so much is to let the eaters pick a few things they like to eat, but Lin Dusi plans to eat everything and eat everything.
Seeing that Lin Yusi's appearance of eating was too incommensurate with her delicate appearance, the maids couldn't help but laugh, it was the first time they had seen someone eat like this in the palace.
A maid kindly reminded; "Sir, eat slowly, be careful to choke, the prince also instructed the slave maid, saying that when you finish eating, I will take you to the front yard, saying that I want to take Mr. out."
I didn't expect this maid to speak quite effectively, as soon as Lin Dosi heard this, she stopped her pace of enjoying the food, and when she thought of being taken by Ning Zheng to bathe the horse after eating, she panicked, and felt that the things on this table were not fragrant, this was like her own severed head rice, and she looked full.
Seeing that Lin Dosi suddenly stopped eating again, the two maids looked at each other in confusion.
In the early morning of the palace, the maids and servants were busy with their own work, plastering, watering, and sweeping...... But there was the sound of dancing knives and guns in the atrium, and everyone in the house knew that this was Zhao Lin practicing in the morning.
Even though he was no longer a soldier, Zhao Lin still practiced every morning, Zhao Lin noticed that Ning Zheng was leaning on the side of the corridor and looking at him, so he stopped his movements, bowed slightly to Ning Zheng, and then began to practice swordsmanship again.
Ning Zheng smiled and walked out of the corridor to where Zhao Lin placed his weapons, looked at these weapons, and said, "I just met the book writer you brought back. ”
Zhao Lin paused, did not respond, and then danced his sword again.
Ning Zheng took two more steps around these weapons, and finally stopped in front of a silver spear and said, "This person is very interesting, I plan to stay for a little longer." ”
After speaking, he threw out a book with his left hand that he held a lot, and then used the hand that shook the book just now to draw out the silver spear and threw it at Zhao Lin, Zhao Lin sensed that something was flying behind him, turned around and caught it, Zhao Lin looked at the back of Ning Zheng who was leaving, and then stopped at the book that was thrown out by Ning Zheng on the stone table, and it was written - "Huang Drink Miscellaneous Talk".
The maid who brought breakfast to Lin Yusi just now in the side courtyard was in a hurry outside the thatched house, and I didn't know if I thought the little girl was in a hurry to go to the toilet.
"Sir, aren't you okay, someone just said that the prince is already waiting for you at the door"
"Ah...... My stomach hurts so much...... Let me squat a little longer."
Lin Dosi deliberately lowered her voice and said, of course she didn't really have a stomachache, she was just ten thousand now, she didn't want to follow Ning Zheng to the stable, all because she had just asked the maids about the prince's love for horses, thinking that knowing herself and knowing that the other side could win all battles.
But the maids didn't say anything else so they had to remind her: "This horse has a strange temper, very dislike bathing, there was a person responsible for bathing this horse before, saying that it was not washed or what was executed by the prince, in short, this horse is very noble, never treat it as an animal, you have to treat it like a master." ”
"I heard that this horse was born from the horse given to the prince by the emperor before, and the horse given by the emperor also saved the life of the prince."
The two maids said it vividly, and Lin Hide didn't think that this horse was of noble birth and had a mother who had a meritorious role in saving the driver.
But I don't bathe the horse at all, what if I don't behave well and annoy the horse later? What should I do if I anger Ning Zheng? It's not an option, but let's hold it for the time being.
The other maid who brought breakfast to Lin Yusi just now saw that Zhu'er was still outside the thatched house, so she stepped forward and said, "Zhu'er, Mr. hasn't come out yet?" ”
"Not yet, Sister Lixiang, shouldn't it be that there was a problem with the breakfast I served, so that my husband ate his stomach, and the prince will definitely be angry with me." As she spoke, she was about to cry.
When Li Xiang heard this, she also became anxious: "This ...... I went with you to serve breakfast, how could there be a problem"
Lin Dosi heard the crying outside, and he was really afraid that he would affect the innocent, and the problem would not be solved if he stayed here, so he plucked up the courage to open the door of the thatched house, walked out and said, "Where is the prince, please ask Miss Zhu'er to lead the way." ”
Zhu'er saw Lin dodging out, like a savior with a halo shining all over her body, so she wiped her tears, changed her crying face into a smile, and said with great joy: "The prince is at the front door, I will take Mr. over." ”
At the front door, Ning Zheng and a few family members had been waiting for Lin Dusi for a quarter of an hour, and Ning Zheng was bored and played with the water lilies in the yard.
The uninformed family members didn't dare to say it, and they were secretly scolding in their hearts: This book writer has a really big shelf, and he dared to be late when he accompanied the prince out.
And some "informed" family members are quite understanding, and said in their hearts: This gentleman may be tired in the morning, even if some princes come late, they will not be angry, and at the same time sigh, this person, whether it is a man or a woman, must be good-looking, look like this book-writing gentleman, sooner or later he can fly on the branches and become a phoenix.
Lin Dusi followed Zhu'er to the gate of the palace, and saw Ning Zheng bending over and leisurely picking up the water lilies in the courtyard from a distance, wearing the same clothes as in the morning.
Lin Doo thought about it and said: Even if the figure is extremely good, but you should change into decent clothes when you go out, tsk.
Lin Dusi walked in front of Ning Zheng, nodded to Ning Zheng, and followed Ning Zheng out of the door.
As soon as she went out, she saw two horses waiting at the door, and Lin thought for a while that this was the horse she was "waiting for".
Ning Zheng took the reins from the hands of one of the horse-leading gentlemen, and after a clever and neat figure, Ning Zheng rode steadily on the horse, pulled the reins with one hand, turned his head and said to Lin Dusi: "This road is relatively rough, and the carriage is impassable, so Mr. will ride with me." ”
Lin Dosi: "......"
Lin Dosi: "But I ...... I don't know how to ride a horse. ”
Lin Dosi knew how to ride a horse, she had always wanted to experience the feeling of riding a horse, but she didn't have the opportunity to see a few horses in the 21st century, and after crossing over, she saw a lot of horses but no one could teach her, so her ideal of riding a horse was gone.
The stable that Ning Zheng wants to take Lin to go to this time is located on the back mountain of Duanwangfu, although it is a back mountain, it is not close, because of the peculiar geographical location, it has to go around a big bend, and even if you can use a carriage to go near the foot of the mountain, if you don't ride a horse on the way up the mountain, you can only walk up on foot.
Ning Zheng: "Yue Peng"
Yue Peng: "Yes!" ”
Ning Zheng: "It's up to you to take Mr. on horseback"
Yue Peng: "Yes! ”
Lin Dousi heard that this meant that he wanted this Yue Peng to ride with the two of them, not to mention that this Yue Peng was five big and three thick, black and dirty, even if he changed to a handsome young student, Lin Dousi didn't want to ride a horse with him, because in Lin Dousi's mind, this action was too intimate.
Lin Duck: "The prince still prepares a carriage for me, it's really not good, I can go on foot." ”
Lin Dosi's words made Yue Peng, who had just put one foot on the pedal, stunned, at this moment, he was neither up nor down, so he could only wait for the prince's order.
Ning Zheng: "I already said just now that the carriage is impassable. ”
Lin Dousi: "Then I don't want it either!" ”
The more Lin Yusi thought about it, the more angry he felt, he was seen by Ning Zheng this morning wearing only suspenders and shorts, he should know that he was just a woman dressed as a man, how could he casually let a man ride with him, could it be that if he didn't check himself, he felt that others didn't matter.
Ning Zheng saw that Lin Yusi was very persistent, waved his hand, and signaled that Yue Peng didn't need to get on the horse.
Ning Zheng shook the reins in his hand, drove the horse to Lin Dousi's side, and then leaned over slightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Lin Dousi: "Is it difficult...... Do you want this king to ride a horse and take Mr. up? ”
