Since entering the Forbidden City, this little half a year in the pocket all day long in the Cining Palace, now out of the palace, the sedan chair of the blue shadow and thin sand look out, the familiar streets and alleys, pavilions and courtyards, and from a distance to the side of the Zifeng Building hanging high in the wind swaying wine banner, as if teasing the sleeve of the deep bond in the heart, and as if a dream that has not ended.

Huai Sleeve suddenly remembered that a few days ago when he read the scriptures, the Buddha said that silkworms grow up, pupate, turn into e, and lay eggs, and what they are attached to in their lives is not the habits of this life, but from the memories of the previous lives of important people, otherwise, they will not be so persistent in the first bite of their lives.

The heart of the silkworm hides the secret of reincarnation, the mystery of karma, and the smoke of habits is as deep and unfathomable as the sea.

Thinking of the time that has passed suddenly, the layers of ripples stirring in my heart are also a long-term habit, or the reincarnation of the previous life, such as falling in love with someone, and it is also the old soul carved on the seal of the Sansheng Stone.

Huai Sleeve couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "A little silkworm can also see its own troubles that have not yet been broken!" ”

Su Malagu was originally happy to enjoy the street scene, but suddenly heard Huai Cuff muttering this sentence inexplicably, just wanted to ask, was interrupted by the sudden sound of horses' hooves, the sound from far and near, next to the sedan chair in which Huai Sleeve and Su Malagu were riding, the sound became a regular tapping sound.

"Who's out there?" Su Malagu leaned over and asked the little eunuch at the door of the car.

A little eunuch replied: "It's the father-in-law of the Long Live Lord, and it is rumored that after going out of the city for a while, a few concubines want to ride horses, and ask my aunt if she is going." ”

Aunt Su Mala smiled: "It seems that Long Live Lord is really interested today, I won't go." As soon as he finished speaking, he thought that Huai Sleeve was the Gege of the Northern Xinjiang General's Mansion, and he should also be able to ride a horse, so he said to Huai Sleeve: "You go and go, it's good to go out for a walk." ”

Huai Sleeve saw that Su Malagu refused, and if he pushed it back, it would look bad, so he nodded in response. Su Malagu returned outside: "You go and talk back, and you will go over with the girl in a while." ”

The eunuchs outside responded, and seeing that the team was about to leave the city, Su Malagu called in a few palace maids to change their riding clothes for their sleeves.

The royal women of the Manchu Dynasty are not better than the women of the Han family who live in the boudoir, and rarely show their heads, and now these Manchu nobles who live in the Forbidden Imperial City were originally living in the white mountains and black waters of the distant Shengjing, and riding and shooting and hunting are the basic skills of daily life, so both men and women, are proud of being good at riding and shooting.

Emperor Kangxi has studied horse archery since he was a child, so he is also known as the "Emperor on the horse", and he is very much advocated by the ministers to learn the art of riding and archery.

Among the many concubines in the harem, in addition to a few concubines of the Han nationality, the other concubines of their own clan are talented, but most of those who can ride and shoot are more likely to please Kangxi, so they are not confined to the specifications.

Every year in Chengde and Mulan, Kangxi prefers to bring concubines who are good at riding and archery. Therefore, the concubines in the palace who were not good at riding and shooting also took advantage of their annual trip to the outside of the palace to compete to study salvo kung fu.

Soon after leaving the city, the convoy gradually reached a sparsely populated and open grassland, and the eunuch of the AMTD Bureau brought a horse to serve in front of the sedan with his sleeves.

"Auntie, then I'll go."

"Well, it's been a long time, be careful." Aunt Su Mala admonished, and watched her sleeves get out of the car.

He took the reins from the eunuch's hand, stroked the smooth and shiny fur of the horse, and rolled over with the saddle in his hand. Gripping the reins, he affectionately stroked the supple mane of the mount under his crotch.

When pulling the reins just now, Huai Sleeve only glanced at the horse's teeth and knew that this was an upright and middle-aged male horse, with a red black and vigorous body, except for a small piece of white on the long and thin four hooves, there was not a single stray hair on the body, and this kind of horse also had another nickname called "Treading Snow", and the foot strength was quite good.

Huai Sleeve liked this horse very much, and couldn't help but praise in his heart: "Sure enough, they are royal horses, and they are all good horses." ”

I haven't breathed such free air for a long time, and when I look at it from afar, the sky is blue like a dream, high and vast, like the sky outside the plug, and I can't help but clamp my legs, and the horse jumps and runs.

The concubines of each palace rode horses, and there were several eunuchs and palace maids who could ride horses to accompany them, so as far as the eye could see, everyone was surrounded by a noble man on a horse, walking slowly, saying that it was riding a horse, but it was not much faster than a sedan chair.

Huai Sleeve is alone, and he is not the main seat in the emperor's harem, so he doesn't have to care so much, his hand whips down, and he rushes out of the chariot and horse formation like a happy horse under his crotch, and runs along a loess avenue in the middle of the dense forest.

Kangxi, Nalan and several other elder princes were also riding in the car formation, and when they were talking and laughing, they suddenly saw a black horse rushing out sideways.

Kangxi excitedly raised the leather whip in his hand and asked, "Let's see which palace it is, good rider!" ”

When everyone looked at the horses, they were gone, and everyone shook their heads, but Chang Ning stroked his two beards, and said, "It seems to be the treasure in the ancestral palace." ”

Kangxi didn't hear clearly and asked, "What is Chang Ning muttering?" ”

"Oh, my brother didn't see it clearly." Chang Ning shook his eyebrows and pouted.

When Chang Ning said this, he subconsciously looked back at Rong Ruo, who was riding a horse and following behind, only to see Rong Ruo's eyebrows locked, as if he was thoughtful, and his eyes were empty and looking into the distance.

"Women are so good, let's let go, let's go!" Kangxi said, raised his whip and urged the horse to rush out first.

A eunuch pulled out an arrow with a bright yellow feather tied to the tail of the arrow, and pulled the bow to the sky, only to hear a loud long sound of "chirp", and the arrow disappeared into the vast sky.

This is a sign that the emperor came to participate in the riding and archery trip, and also opened the curtain of the annual summer riding and shooting.

Riding the horse with his sleeves in his arms, he suddenly heard a whistle in his ears, but he didn't know why, he pulled the reins and looked back, and saw that the convoy had been thrown away by himself, and he couldn't help but laugh that he was like a colt who had taken off the reins, and he was a little forgetful.

At this time, the horse under the crotch suddenly became a little restless, and the sleeve also felt that something was wrong, and there was a muffled and fast sound of hooves on the ground, as if the horse was a little different.

Huai Sleeve looked around, and suddenly saw a frightened big black bull running out of the bushes next to him, staring at the round eyes as red as a bell, and rushing towards Huai Sleeve.

Huai Sleeve was frightened, and kicked the horse's belly violently with both legs, and the horse under the crotch seemed to be frightened, and the hind legs slipped violently, and happened to sprain the hoof, but seeing that the bull was in front of him, the horse was also anxious, and ran hard.
