Chapter 649: The Old Minister's House
When I entered the arena, I saw a row of ponies tied to the manger.
They looked only a quarter the size of a normal horse, with brown fur and a white mane on the top of their heads, flying like flags in the wind.
A neat row of grass feeds and looks not to mention how cute.
Su Youyi saw a figure riding on a horse, coming from a distance, she squinted her eyes slightly, trying to see who the person on the short horse was.
"Fifth brother, come down quickly! Mother is back! ”
The fourth prince shouted beside him, and now it was exposed, and the fifth prince immediately stopped his horse and shouted at the fourth prince.
The four princes laughed evilly.
He did it on purpose.
The fifth prince knew when he saw his expression, and snorted angrily at him, "The accusation behind his back is not the gentleman's doing. ”
"You are here, and the queen mother is also here, where is the complaint behind your back?"
The four princes are also very reasonable.
He has grown up now, and the harem has strictly abided by the ban since the time of the first emperor, and no one is allowed to talk about his origin, only as if he was from Su Youyi.
After Su Youyi took power, she became even more taboo about this, and no one was allowed to mention it.
Therefore, until now, the four princes do not know their true origins, and have always thought that he and the five princes and others are all compatriots of the same mother.
The fifth prince walked towards Su Youyi, and said with some resentment: "Queen Mother, look at the fourth brother, how well I rode just now, he deliberately scared me." ”
"If you don't wait for me to arrive, how can he scare you?"
Su Youyi's eyes were like torches, so she would not be easily blinded by him, and the fourth prince also walked over, "Queen Mother, do you look at these ponies?" I think it's just right for my younger brothers to learn how to ride a horse. ”
"Brothers? What about you? ”
The fifth prince hurriedly said loudly: "Queen Mother, the fourth brother also wants to ride a big horse like the third brother!" ”
In fact, the fourth prince has already learned some about riding and archery, but the normal horse is too big, and he is really not easy to control.
The pony has no pressure on him, but because there is no pressure, he feels that it is not challenging enough, and it is not as interesting as the horse.
Su Youyi knew that the fourth prince was motivated, so she smiled and touched his head, "The queen mother has a difficult task to be handed over to you, are you willing?" ”
The fourth prince didn't hear what the task was, and nodded directly, "The queen mother said that it is!" ”
Su Youyi said: "Your fifth brother is fine, but the sixth brother and seventh brother are all very small, even if it is such a short horse, the queen mother is not worried about them riding." Since you have learned a little bit of riding and archery, you can teach them well for the queen mother, and watch them not get hurt, okay? ”
The fifth prince pursed his lips and snickered.
In fact, if you want to teach riding and archery, there are many riding and archery masters in the palace, and if you want to talk about protection, there are also a lot of slave guards.
The queen mother wants the fourth brother to take on the heavy responsibility, but she doesn't want him to ride a big horse at a young age to avoid danger, but she uses such a statement to make him willing to ride a short pony.
But as long as it is Su Youyi, the four princes have always done it.
He looked at the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince, and the two little ones couldn't take their eyes off the pony when they saw the pony, so they nodded at Su Youyi, "Don't worry, I will definitely teach my younger brother well." ”
"And me."
The fifth prince also said: "I just rode so skillfully, and the queen mother also saw it, and I can also help the fourth brother and lead the younger brothers." ”
He's also too positive.
Su Youyi saw through his conspiracy at a glance, and whispered: "Don't be too happy if you get a pony, and you will miss all the homework of Taifu Xue." Taifu Xue will send someone to Kunning Palace every two or three days to report on your studies, and you won't be able to run. ”
The fifth prince curled the corners of his mouth, "Queen Mother, come in and let Master Xue let us read the disciple rules, I have already rolled the melons......"
He had already read such a pediatric book before he went to the East Fourth Institute, so he was too lazy to listen to Mrs. Xue in class every day.
Su Youyi glanced at the fourth prince, and the fourth prince showed an embarrassed smile, "No wonder the fifth brother is impatient, what Mrs. Xue said...... It's a little shallower. ”
What level is Mrs. Xue, Su Youyi knows in her heart.
He taught them well back then, and now he can't teach them anymore, but I'm afraid that Mrs. Xue sees them young, so he doesn't dare to teach them too deeply for a while.
Su Youyi said: "You two grew up with me since you were a child, and you naturally read a lot of books, and you have thousands of words in your stomach before you are three years old." However, Taifu Xue didn't know, he was just teaching according to the old routine of teaching your imperial brother in the past. If you think it's too shallow, tell him to teach a new lesson after he has finished the disciple assessment, understand? ”
"Got it!"
……
After a long period of rambling, the sixth prince and the seventh prince touched the pony that they were thinking about.
To say that this pony is really good, not only short for children to learn, but also very gentle personality.
Several concubines in the harem were still a little scared before, although this horse is small, it is also compared with other horses, and compared with small pets such as cats and dogs in the harem, this horse is still very big.
But when I looked closer, the horse's big eyes were full of gentleness, and it didn't make trouble when people gathered around it, and it looked very well-behaved.
Su Youyi touched the horse's head, and the pony rubbed on Su Youyi's body obediently, everyone laughed, and Concubine Yan said one by one: "Even this pony knows who is the most noble here and who should please him, it's really a success!" ”
When Yuan Zhi came over in a hurry with someone, he happened to hear Concubine Yan's words, and he couldn't help laughing.
Su Youyi looked back at him, "Your Majesty, this pony is really well-behaved, not to mention a few of their children, even I like it." ”
Yuan Zhi said: "This pony is in the Western Regions, and it was originally used for the children and daughters of aristocratic families. If the queen mother likes it, she will leave one or two horses to play, and the number is enough. Originally, I wanted to give it to the second and third brothers, but they didn't want either of them, so I just had two more horses. ”
Su Youyi shook her head, "I don't often go out of the palace, what do I want two horses for?" If I like it, I come to the martial arts arena and ride their horses. There are a lot of them, the emperor will take them to reward people himself. ”
After all, this pony is rare in the Central Plains, and it is still very valuable to take it as a reward.
Yuan Zhi thought for a while, "There are two more horses, one of them will be sent to the Zhou Mansion for Sister Zhou to play with." There was an accident at the Spring Banquet she held a while ago, and she was considered to have suffered an unjustified disaster. Thinking about the boudoir woman embroidering in the house is boring after all, if there is a pony can ride in the courtyard for a walk, her house can be mourned and sullen. ”
The first one thought of Miss Zhou, Su Youyi secretly pursed her lips and chuckled.
It seems that Yuan Zhi said that he was not paying attention to the harem, but he still liked this Miss Zhou in his heart, otherwise he would not pay so much attention to her, and he even knew about the Spring Banquet.
Su Youyi was happy in her heart, and naturally said: "The emperor has decided." Zhou Shoufu has been gone for so long, and the emperor is still thinking about the old minister's house, and I am also very pleased. ”
