The seventh day of the seventh month.

On the Fengnan grassland south of Tiandu, colorful flags are flying in the wind. Dressed in auspicious costumes, people are staring intently at the two galloping horses, one black and one white, on the racecourse. The two horses staggered ahead, leaving the other horses behind.

Not far away, two horses stood side by side on a hill and watched everything in the field.

"I won't lose to you again in the next game." Xun Rou shouted angrily at Susukino Kiyuki, "The eldest cousin has top-notch riding skills, and he will definitely not lose to Dahua." ”

"It's Ouyang Zheng, the king of Luoxi." Susukino Kiyuki shrugged his shoulders senselessly, stroked the mane of the horse under him, leaned down and patted the horse's back, as if unintentionally said, "I may have relied on luck in the first few games, blindly touched the right horse, but this one is ......"

Susukino Kiyuki looked up at the black horses galloping at the racecourse under the hillock, and pursed his lips and smiled, "I have seen Ouyang Zheng's riding skills, and I am sure that I will succeed this time, of course, provided that some people do not cheat." ”

"What do you mean by that? How can a big cousin be cheating? Xun Rou snorted coldly, "It's okay if you don't support Xiyue, your elbow is turned out, and you still have the heart of a villain......"

"I didn't say from beginning to end that the king would cheat, and there were other people who wanted to cheat."

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to argue with you." Xun Rou glanced at Bo Ye Jixing, "I forgot to ask, how is the preparation of the incense mat?" ”

"Hey, I think you don't seem to be good at that?" Susukino joked, "However, people who are impetuous should learn more about the way to calm their minds with incense." ”

Susukino Kiyuki glanced at Xun Rou, turned his head and caught a glimpse of someone riding a horse approaching the hill, and after a closer look, he found that it was Huaxi and Yizhen riding together.

Susukino Kiyuki smiled and turned his horse's head to walk towards the place where Huaxi came from.

Seeing that he was leaving, Xun Rou asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Following his gaze, Xun Rou saw that it was Huaxi and Yizhen, and they wanted to keep up.

Just now, Susukino Kiyuki was standing on a high place to enjoy the horse race, Xun Rou's sudden appearance had made him a little unhappy, and he insisted on pestering him to ask questions, betting and playing coquettishly, he was already annoyed, and was thinking about how to get out, Huaxi and Yizhen came.

Since the last palace banquet, Yizhen has gradually distanced herself from Xun Rou, even when she went to the Yuxian Horse Farm, and Xun Rou herself went to Zongqi. Her self-assertion made Yizhen unhappy, so Susukino Jixing expected that Xun Rou would not see each other again, and Yizhen was bored with herself.

I didn't want to see her at this time and go with her, Susukino Kiyuki was afraid that she would follow her with a dead face, so he said impatiently: "I'm going to see how my student's horse is riding, and you want to go too?" ”

Xun Rou didn't want Susukino to be sarcastic, which really made her face dull. She looked at Susukino Kiyuki resentfully, she had long been accustomed to his teasing, mocking, and cynical eyes, she could pretend to turn a blind eye, and was still trying to get his attention, for him, she approached Yizhen, who was close to him, and for him, she almost turned against her little cousin...... But why is it that his eyes can always see anyone, but he cannot see himself?

Xun Rou's sadness and resentment are intertwined like a net, netting her heart, and she can't let go.

"This time, Dahua married a county lord, so I also want to be able to marry a county lord to go back." Xun Rou looked at the departing figure of Susukino Kiyuki and paused, and continued, "It seems that the matter of the owner of the incense mat stove was brought up by the King of Thailand in Dahua. It is said that the King of Thailand has long been obsessed with this when he was in Dahua...... Also, don't forget that you are his cousin, not unrelated as outsiders think. It's not necessarily a good thing to get too close, so don't end up being blamed...... His body is not right, and his personal morality is ......."

Xun Rou was vague, Susukino Jixing heard it, stopped the horse and turned his head, his face was cold, his eyes were forced to look at Xun Rou, his gaze was as sharp as a knife, "As the daughter of Shangshu and a relative of the emperor, it is taboo to say nothing." You must know that the trouble comes out of the mouth, and you should be cautious to Miss Xun."

"Speechless?" Xun Rou smiled bitterly and said, "I kindly remind you, but you are complaining about me?" ”

"No matter who says this, if you have the heart to remind you, why do you have such a cynical tone?" Susukino Kiyuki looked back at her again.

"Aside from my tone, let me ask you, have you ever looked at me? Have you listened to me? Xun Rou gritted her teeth, her eyes flashed, and she wiped her eyes randomly, "I saw you here, and I hurriedly ran up to look for you...... After all this time, don't you really know my mind? ”

As soon as she said that, Xun Rou regretted her impulsiveness.

"Why force it for no reason...... Driving—" Susukino whipped his whip and rushed down the slope.

……

Huaxi and Yizhen wanted to find a high place to watch the horse race, and as soon as they reached a small hill, they saw Susukino Kiyuki riding a horse.

The corners of Susukino Kiyuki's mouth opened, his eyes narrowed into a line, and he shouted from afar: "Oh roar - little aunt, oh roar - little thirteen." ”

High in the sky, loud and high-pitched shouts came, and there was a frank nature.

"I just came out of the palace, and I disappeared as soon as I smoked, so it turned out that this guy was hiding here." Yi Zhen beckoned to Susukino Kiyuki with a smile on his face, "Chicken"

Huaxi perked up, looked at Susukino Kiyuki, who waved at them, rushing towards them like a gust of wind, and also raised his voice in response: "Hey, fifth brother-"

Noriyuki Susukino rushed down the hill, "Are you here to see the horse races?" ”

Yizhen nodded and pointed to the hillside behind him, "Just about to go up"

Susukino Kiyuki hurriedly said, "I'm not busy, I think I'd better go over there." I've just watched two shows here, and I think this place is a bit off. If you go a little further, you should be able to see more clearly. ”

Glancing at the slope, seeing that Xun Rou didn't come down, Bo Ye Jixing turned his head to Huaxi again and said, "Auntie, let's go, by the way, let me see how Xiao Thirteen has practiced riding these days." ”

Huaxi quipped: "I can walk and run, but it's not very fast." ”

"Beginner, it's good to be able to do what you do." Yi Zhen gave an evaluation willingly, and Ji Xing instructed, "You can see it, don't push her too hard." She's not you, she grew up on horseback. ”

"Hehe, that's nature. Come, Huaxi keeps up" Susukino Kiyuki took the lead and ran at the front.

"It's coming—" Huaxi and Yizhen followed one after another.

The three of them ran slowly, and gradually moved away all the way, leaving behind laughter all the way, just like the breeze on the grassland, blowing the green grass, blowing the floating clouds, and blowing the hearts of the people.

Xun Rou stood in place, looking at the back of the handsome horse under the slope, you don't accept me, avoid me like a snake and scorpion, when you see someone coming, you don't dare to say a word You just got with me...... Yizhen was estranged from me, and I became the laughing stock of everyone, all thanks to you and your beloved thirteenth sister

Xun Rou's resentment slowly magnified, like unkempt thorns, occupying her heart with teeth and claws, and the spikes on the rattan pierced her painfully.

"Noriyuki Susukino, you're so heartless, one day, I'll make you regret it" ()
