Chapter Seventy-Eight: Horse Racing in the Western Suburbs
Lan Ling'er stood in place stunned, without a trace of movement, seeing Mu Xinghan leaving, a trace of doubt appeared in the eyes of Yi Xue and Yi Shuang, but they didn't dare to ask.
Lan Ling'er didn't chase it out after all, and Mu Xinghan didn't appear again, whether it was because of the contradictions caused by a dance, or just the original entanglement in their hearts, no one knows, and in the end, they all slowly dissipated with the dark night, or, instead of dissipating, they melted in, and no one could see it.
Lan Ling'er went to bed early, and the food that Lan Xuan put outside the courtyard was finally taken away by Yi Xue, now at this time, who dares to open that door?
Strangely, Lan Ling'er got up early in the morning, looked at Yi Shuang and Yi Xue's stunned eyes, and said lightly: "Go and spread the word, and ask Princess Jiaoyang to go to the western suburbs for horse racing." "
Yi Xue put away her doubts, "Yes! "
The weather is fine, it is already summer, with a hint of dryness and heat, and the morning sun is still a little soft. Lan Ling'er stood at the door of the room, watching quietly like this, not a little moved by the sunshine that was gradually becoming warmer.
"Sister Blue!" The voice of the blazing sun in the east sounded.
Lan Ling'er turned her head, and saw the figures of Dongfang Jiaoyang, Mo Yan and Mo Yu, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, today's Mo Yu is still wearing a fiery red riding costume, and her delicate face does not have the slightest fat powder, but her charm is not reduced. There was no emotion on his pale face.
There was a smile on the corner of Mo Yan's mouth, and the hem of the white robe rippled in the air as he moved, Mo Yan's eyebrows and eyes were a little more beautiful than Mo Yu, but after more of the man's fierceness, he pressed down all the softness, but it was also surprisingly good-looking.
No one knew the real reason why the prince and princess of the Northern Desert came to Amaterasu this time, and everyone just waited cautiously. Dongfang Jiaoyang, Dongfang Yu and Dongfang Qi have almost been by Mo Yan's side recently, not because they are afraid of being sluggish, but more about surveillance.
Mo Yan can stand out in the Northern Desert royal family, for so many years, he has the same status as Dongfang Yu in Amaterasu, and at the same time has the same reputation and influence as Mu Xinghan in Amaterasu, which is not something that any person can do. People who don't play cards according to common sense are often much more terrible, and Mo Di is undoubtedly the one who doesn't follow common sense.
The three of them approached, Mo Yu looked at Lan Ling'er with a shocked face, and said, "You are Lan Ling'er, you look so good!" Undisguised words do not make people feel any disgust.
"Princess Moyu is also very beautiful." Lan Ling'er said with a smile, looking at Mo Yu's face at this time, she realized that after removing the charm, it should not reduce her beauty at all. Brilliant facial features, small and three-dimensional, and shiny eyes under the good-looking eyebrows, like black talking gems, flashing with dazzling light.
Hearing this, Mo Yu was slightly stunned, but Dongfang Jiaoyang smiled and said, "Sister Lan, why did you get up so early today?" "
Lan Ling'er's eyes flashed slightly, and there was a trace of gloom in her heart, but it was only fleeting, maybe the sunlight outside was too dazzling, and in an instant, all the gloom could fade, "The weather is good today." "
The corners of Dongfang Jiaoyang's mouth twitched slightly, looked left and right, and said: "It's really not bad, it's hunting season in a few days, and when the time comes, we can compare again." "
Lan Ling'er chuckled, there will be a group hunt in Amaterasu every summer, although Lan Ling'er rarely participates, but she also knows that it is very lively, not only almost all the sons, but even most of the ladies and young ladies will go over to see the performance of their father-in-law, son or sweetheart.
It's just that this year hasn't arrived yet, and Dongfang Jiaoyang is about to make an appointment with himself, Lan Ling'er pondered for a moment and said, "I won't hunt." Lan Ling'er frankly admitted that she had never hunted, and although she had martial arts cultivation, only a few people knew about it.
"Just learn, hunting is easy." Mo Yu on the side said excitedly. The sparkle in her eyes showed that she was excited at this time.
Lan Ling'er chuckled and said, "Then Princess Moyu will also participate?" "Aren't they supposed to go back? Do you want to stay in Amaterasu? Lan Ling'er couldn't help but wonder.
"We're going to wait until the crown prince gets married, so we don't have to come back again." Mo Yan seemed to see through Lan Ling'er's doubts, and couldn't help but explain. The indifferent voice is obviously not emotional, but it also seems to have a hint of playfulness.
Lan Ling'er was stunned, glanced at Dongfang Jiaoyang's thoughtful eyes, and said with a smile: "Then welcome the two of you to stay for a long time." "A prince and princess live in another country for more than 20 days, of course, it can be regarded as a long-term stay, not to mention, Mo Yan is equivalent to the backbone of the entire Northern Desert.
Although the current king is still there, most of the things are taken care of by Mo Yan.
When everyone came to the western suburbs, there were already people preparing horses at this time, and they were naturally excellent breeds. It was a racecourse for the royal family, and there were special people who were responsible for raising and training horses. A wide plain appeared in front of us, and it was rare to find such a fertile and gentle piece of land in the Central Plains.
Summer is the season when the grass grows wildly, and the green grass on the ground covers every corner like a soft blanket, and the sunlight shines finely, showing a particularly strong vitality. Lan Ling'er looked at everything in front of her lightly, as if her mood had become a little more relaxed.
By this time the horses had already been brought in. Four identical white horses, pure white color, made Lan Ling'er naturally happy.
Dongfang Jiaoyang raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "How about we have a competition together?" "
Mo Yu didn't say a word, turned over beautifully, and got on the horse, and Mo Yan looked at Lan Ling'er with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then turned over on the horse.
"Sister Blue?"
"Ahh Lan Ling'er withdrew her gaze from the endless grass, nodded with a smile, and got on the horse. Dongfang Jiaoyang frowned, but he also let go of the doubts in his heart.
The four white horses set off at the same time, like arrows off the string, leaving only a trace of phantom, Mo Yu and Mo Yan from the Northern Desert, they grew up on horseback since childhood, and the art of riding and archery is naturally ahead, although Lan Ling'er rode less before, but under Lan Yuan's teaching, it was not bad. Not to mention the Oriental Sun, who was originally enthusiastic and has always been keen on horseback riding.
The sun in the morning, although not very sunny, was not gentle, and everyone was just a pure horse race from the beginning of the race to the back. Regardless of the sun on her body and the sweat on her forehead, Lan Ling'er had a smile on her face, and gradually evacuated all the unhappiness in her heart.
Suddenly, the sky darkened, but the people on the field didn't seem to have the slightest feeling, until a slave appeared and reminded everyone that the eastern sun found that the sun had disappeared. I don't know when, the clouds were thick, Mo Yu and Mo Yan realized that they also returned to the palace on the side to rest, but Lan Ling'er was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing that there was no ice blue on the wide grass, a trace of worry flashed in Dongfang Jiaoyang's eyes, and he ordered: "You look everywhere, you must find Sister Lan." "
Hearing this, the people in the racecourse went out to look for it, despite the impending heavy rain. The summer rain came without the slightest preparation, the sky was still clear just now, and it was cloudy for a while, Lan Ling'er looked at the sky with rolling clouds, without the slightest feeling. It's just that I feel like I'm holding my breath, I can't spit it out, I can't swallow it, it's extremely uncomfortable.
He kept whipping the horses under him, galloping on the uninhabited meadow until he was out of sight and came to the unknown lake. Throwing the reins on the ground like this, Lan Ling'er sat down. Suddenly, there was a thunderclap, Lan Ling'er's heart trembled, but she saw that at some point, the horses ran away in fright with the thunder.
If you want to leave, even if you chase it back, it will be in vain. Lan Ling'er thought in her heart, so she didn't bother to chase it. It is also good to look into the distance, alone, and accompany each other on a thousand miles of grassland.
At this time, on the side of the racecourse, Dongfang Jiaoyang looked at the people who didn't get the news, and couldn't help but look a little serious. In their eyes, Lan Ling'er is smart and resolute, but she doesn't know any martial arts, and if something happens, Lan Yuan won't be in the capital and it won't be easy to explain when the time comes.
"Where will Sister Lan go?" Mo Yu couldn't help but wonder, although it was the first time they met, she had a good impression of Lan Ling'er, and there was a smart aura all over her body.
Mo Yan, who was silent on the side, suddenly left, and Dongfang Jiaoyang was about to speak, but was stopped by Mo Yu and said, "Let my brother go, he should know where Sister Lan is." "
Dongfang Jiaoyang's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "It's about to rain outside now." "
"It's okay, his body is made of iron, and this little rain has no effect on him in the slightest." Mo Yu said unconcernedly. When Dongfang Jiaoyang heard this, he didn't say anything.
At this time, the sky had already darkened, just now it was still the light of day, and after a while, it became the darkness of dusk, and the wind was strong, and Mo Yan's hair was lightly lifted, but he saw that he was still walking firmly, without a pause. He set off with a white horse.
As if to be comforted by him, the horses that were originally in a state of irritability were also extremely docile at this time, and sure enough, as Mo Yu guessed, Mo Yan went straight to the direction where Lan Ling'er disappeared. After a while, I saw a petite figure hidden by a unique thorn in the wind.
Mo Yan looked around, but he didn't see the horses, his heart moved, and he watched Lan Ling'er's icy blue dress dancing in the wind, and the hair like a waterfall was messy in the wind, but it was beautiful and safe. At this time, she was indifferent to the living, as if she was independent from the world.
Glancing at the sky, Mo Yan tied the horse's reins to the nearest tree stump and walked over quietly.
Hearing the sound behind her, Lan Ling'er turned her head, saw Mo Yan's slightly frowning eyebrows, smiled solemnly, put away all her emotions, and said, "Why are you here?" "
Knowing that Lan Ling'er was deliberately concealing, Mo Yan didn't care at all, he was just pure curiosity about Lan Ling'er, such an indifferent and surprising, peerless woman, but in a prime minister's mansion, she could be quiet for the first fifteen years, but now it suddenly broke out, releasing all the light and heat, making people overwhelmed.
"You haven't gone back yet, it's going to rain, Princess Jiaoyang is worried." In simple words, the reason for his presence here is fully explained.
Lan Ling'er was slightly stunned, and then remembered that she didn't come here alone, and smiled apologetically: "It's Ling'er who was negligent, I'm sorry." He looked left and right and continued, "My horse is gone. "
Facing Lan Ling'er's innocent eyes, Mo Yan's heart was stunned, his good-looking brows furrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a wicked smile, and said, "I don't mind if we ride together." "
Lan Ling'er couldn't help but be slightly stunned, didn't she say that Mo Yan didn't like outsiders approaching her? But his face remained silent, and he said, "Don't bother the prince." You go back and let the people at the horse farm send a horse. "
