20. In the past and today, the racecourse is frightened

The atmosphere at the table was eerily peaceful.

——On the surface, there is no wave, but in fact, the undercurrent is turbulent, several families gathered, and unconsciously rose to the level of family strife, if in terms of officialdom, it can only be said to be extremely ordinary.

Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice coming, "It's so lively here, don't you mind if you have one more of me?" ”

Dongfang Yan was stunned for a moment, raised her head and crashed into the twinkling star eyes, a little happy and a little sincere, she didn't look away from it, but at the same time she looked into her eyes.

Her eyes were moist and shiny, so clear—but they were always as thick as a fog that could not illuminate the bottom of her eyes, and she could not distinguish her emotions.

The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and in such a calm, Dongfang Yan suddenly came back to his senses, withdrew his gaze and got up to salute: "See Your Highness." ”

Everyone saluted together and shouted at the same time, "Your Highness." ”

At the same time as he lowered his head—no one noticed the flicker of loss in Sima Xuan's eyes after Dongfang Yan withdrew his gaze—it seemed that everything was a little different since he came down the mountain.

Dongfang Fei looked from behind Sima Xuan, and naturally saw the scene of the two looking at each other, and inexplicable emotions flashed in his eyes.

At this time, the two families were opposed, and they didn't see each other for many years.

The difference is that Meng and Bao knew that Dongfang Yan had studied with Situ Lie with the second prince in Yanyuan over the years, and they had heard a little about falling off the cliff.

On the contrary, the Dongfang General in Dongfang Mansion, except for the Dongfang Mansion, had vaguely received the news, but he did not know about Sima Xuan's existence.

- What an ironic affection.

And what is even more ironic is that as a person in the Oriental Mansion, in a way, it can be said to be a 'family'? On the contrary, he didn't know anything about it, and only thought that Dongfang Yan was just a simple banishment.

Sima Xuan looked at the situation, his face was a little relieved as usual, seeing that Dongfang Yan had not returned for many years and had not been rejected by the family, his heart was also relieved, and he smiled gently: "No courtesy, you don't have to be polite when you come out to play." ”

After speaking, he sat between Meng Fanlin and Bao Han without care, chatting warmly, as if they had known each other for many years, but they had also known each other for many years - the family friends of the royal capital eunuchs were not uncommon in Yaori, and there were not so many taboos.

A few people are generally old, and they occasionally play together, but fortunately, Rongjin is not like those pedantic big countries, allowing the prince to play freely and make friends, and he is not restrained, but it is much more free and relaxed than the young lady in some big families.

Dongfang Fei and Dongfang Shuo also sat down, but Dongfang Fei looked at Sima Xuan and Dongfang Yan from time to time, but after a meal, the two didn't intersect again, and they didn't even talk again, and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that she was thinking too much about that look before?

Dongfang Shuo was also secretly frightened after seeing the layout of the table clearly, two-thirds of the people at the table were cousins on Dongfang Yan's side, and they also saw the three-point pattern, but they did not show the mountain dew, and their expressions were as usual.

Compared with Dongfang Fei's observation and control of the overall situation, it is obviously much better.

After a meal, Bao Xinyue pulled her cousin Dongfang Yan, who met for the first time, to chirp and hate to see each other, Dongfang Yan listened quietly, and from time to time picked up the main points to answer a sentence or two, and then Bao Xinyue was happy.

Bao Xinxue was still smiling and dining elegantly, but she didn't stop eating a few plates of dim sum unconsciously, but no one paid attention......

On the one hand, Meng Zisang was very happy to help his cousins with vegetables, but the people on the side of Dongfang Mansion ate their own food and did not say a word, forming a different pattern.

Sima Xuan glanced at Dongfang Yan from time to time, but she didn't mean to look up at him at all, she sighed unconsciously in her heart, and the loss flashed in her eyes but was looked at by Dongfang Fei.

In the afternoon, the sun is just right.

The wind whistled across the plains, blowing flags on the meadows.

On the grassland, the nobles stood in groups of threes and twos, and the horses also strolled leisurely on the grassland, and the nobles were either ready to go or feed the horses affectionately or talk and laugh from time to time, which was very appropriate.

It is said that the first day of each autumn hunt is just a tour, and the real start has to wait until the second day.

I saw the emperor's holy car from afar, led by a riding suit, and beside him were five children with a similar age difference, four men and one woman from left to right, also dressed in riding clothes, ready to go, of which Sima Xuan ranked second.

Although Dongfang Yan didn't know each other, he could guess that the prince could probably stand next to the emperor.

Meng Zisang whispered in her ear, afraid that she would not understand the pattern and introduced them one by one: "From left to right are the four princes and princesses, the leftmost is the eldest prince, and Sima Xuan is second, you know this." The third prince and the fourth prince are twins, but they are messing around, you have to take it easy, but you have to call your cousin, that's your aunt's child, and you shouldn't be too nonsense if you want to come. ”

Dongfang Yan didn't care about anything else, only heard the word aunt, and was stunned for a moment, "I still have an aunt?" ”

Meng Zisang's face was strange and exaggerated, and he slapped his head with a 'snap', "God, this kid is not saved." ”

Meng Fanlin coldly mended the knife: "Yan'er, not only your aunt, you also have an uncle who wants to come, you don't know." ”

Dongfang Yan smiled: "Oh, I still have an uncle!" The declarative sentence, everyone collapsed......

Meng Xuan's face was strange, seeing her smile heartlessly and her heart was sour, did she really not even know this? On the surface, it looks like Miss Sister-in-law is beautiful, but in fact, as a member of the Oriental Family, I don't know how sad it is......

It just so happened that Sima Xuan also looked back at this side, and when he was seen by the third or fourth prince, he couldn't help but be curious - he also turned around.

The third child quietly scolded the fourth: "Hey, who is that?" ”

The fourth replied lazily: "I don't know, just go and see." After saying that, he actually rode away, and the third child hurriedly followed.

Sima Xuan turned his head and caught a glimpse of the actions of the third and fourth children—but he didn't care much.

As everyone knows, if it is stopped at this time, maybe Dongfang Yan will not be frightened in vain, and a series of things will not happen later, which will indirectly determine his next ten years.

However, fate makes people, and sometimes they just like to joke.

Everyone's eyes were all focused on the princes, and they moved their whole bodies, following the direction of the three or four princes, and all of them looked in the direction of Dongfang Yan for a while.

Suddenly focused by the burning gaze, Dongfang Yan's scalp exploded, and before she could react, the two horses that were a head taller than her had stopped in front of her, and the two were talking on the horse: "Fourth, say something?" ”

The person known as the 'fourth' sat on the horse and leaned over to look at Dongfang Yan, showing his standard white teeth with a smile, but in a trance there was a gentle smile: "Whose young lady is this?" Never seen before. ”

Dongfang Yan really couldn't see that the boy with a gentle smile in front of him was the foolish prince Meng Zisang said, so he didn't hurry or salute at this time, "Dongfang Yan has seen the third prince and the fourth prince. ”

"Oh, cousin." The third child smiled shyly, smiled and showed his front teeth and quickly closed them, and in a blink of an eye, his face was expressionless - it turned out that he was changing his teeth.

No wonder I heard those young ladies chew their tongues and say that the third prince is a cold person...... Misunderstandings are always beautiful and full of fantasy.

The fourth child didn't care about Dongfang Yan's salute, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be formal when hunting, cousin forgot about it." But he stretched out his hand and made an invitation in the air.

Dongfang Yanxia thought it was a handshake ceremony, and he only reacted when he shook his hand, and now the etiquette is ...... Fashionable to shake hands?

Without waiting for her to reflect that she had been mentioned by the fourth child, she threw a jujube red pony that was grazing next to her, and the horse was startled, and she wanted to throw the person off her body.

Suddenly, I heard Bao Xinyue screaming not far away, "Don't! The horse hasn't been trained yet......"

However, at the same time, the four princes had already slapped their palms on the horse's buttocks, and when they heard Bao Xinyue's words, it was too late to come back to their senses.

The horse was frightened and jumped around in the crowd, and at this time it was full of young masters, and when they saw the crazy horse running, they were already screaming and falling.

Meng Zisang hurriedly shouted: "Sister! But the horses were already scurrying out of the crowd and galloping out of the pasture.

Meng Xuan was in a hurry, pulled the reins of a pony beside him and turned over, and his riding skills were so good that he had chased him out directly along the vacant road.

Someone in the distance looked coldly and gloated: "This wild girl must have never learned to ride a horse, and now she is in trouble." ”

Sima Xuan frowned when he heard the words of the wild girl, and in a blink of an eye, he found that the crowd was in turmoil, and the third and fourth were riding on horses like standing out from the crowd, but at this time, they were also at a loss, and the position was actually standing in the position where Fang Dongfang Yan was standing? !

The crowd was in a commotion, and one horse rushed out of the crowd and ran out of the crowd.

Immediately after that, another horse followed, and immediately it was Meng Xuan.

Looking at it closely, who was the first batch of crazy horses lying on horseback, not Dongfang Yan?

At the moment, he didn't care much, rode out of the horse to keep up, and the surrounding guards also hurriedly followed, and the frightened horse ran like crazy, but at this time it reflected the robust demeanor of the steppe horse, but it was an adult horse who couldn't catch up for a while, and he didn't see the distance after chasing for a long time.

Meng Zisang in the rear was robbed by Meng Xuan, and he could only watch anxiously, helpless, so he shouted to the two people on the horse: "New! Fragrant! If something happens to my sister, I won't let you go! ”

Meng Fanlin hurriedly pulled him to signal him to be quieter, Sima Xin looked innocent and cried, and shouted in his heart that it was none of my business...... But his face was also stiff, and he couldn't make expressions.

Sima Xin couldn't react with a shocked face, and looked at it in a daze.

Bao Xinyue was already crying in a hurry, and said, "That's the grassland horse that I just bought, how can this be?" What should I do if I fall, Sister Yan'er......"

There are many reactions, but in fact, it is only a momentary situation.

Hearing the grassland horse Sima Xincai reacted suddenly, he hurriedly slapped the horse and chased him out, he was unprecedentedly panicked, he just wanted to scare her, how could this be? ! In the blink of an eye, I was scared into a cold sweat.

At this time, Dongfang Yan hugged the horse's neck tightly, his body was tossed and turned too late to adjust his posture, and when he turned around, many people followed from afar but couldn't catch up, Dongfang Yan smiled bitterly: "Didn't you look at the yellow calendar when you went out today?" Why is it so miserable......"

Then he slowly adjusted his posture, crouched on the horse's back, thinking about his previous life, he learned to ride a horse after breaking his bones, which was also a painful experience, but he didn't dare to rush forward at this time, so he could only slowly and steadily close his legs, slowly straighten his waist, and look for rules.

I just felt that it was not good, and I didn't notice that I had unconsciously reached the foot of the mountain in front of me, and a large net was opened between the two trees in front, and two people who looked like guards were holding spears in their hands and facing her horse, and the horse was startled and raised up and almost threw the eastern goose down.

Dongfang Yan was caught off guard and almost fell off the horse, although he reacted quickly and grabbed the reins, but he was also thrown off the saddle, the horse was frightened and folded in mid-air, and ran back reflexively, Dongfang Yan couldn't react and was thrown to the side, if it wasn't for the reins, it was almost thrown away.

However, it was not easy at this time, as soon as the horse turned to Shengsheng, she swept her in a semicircle in mid-air and slammed into the horse's back, knocking her into a heartbeat, baring her teeth and cracking her mouth, and her stomach churned and almost vomited, but she didn't have time to vomit, and she was dragged and galloped in mid-air.

I heard someone shouting from afar: "Be careful! ”
