167 Sweeping the stables
Xiang Hongxuan waved his hand, and a guard not far away brought a white horse, Xiang Hongxi looked at it, and was shocked, isn't this the war horse of the Dongyu army? The war horses of Dongyu Kingdom are not the same as those raised in the inner courtyard of the palace, and the horses that charge into battle are the same level as the horses that walk funny? No one can win Xiang Hongxuan.
"Your Majesty, serve you and get on your horse."
Zhou Xun walked quickly to the white horse, led the white horse from the hands of the guards, he respectfully squatted in front of Xiang Hongxuan, his hands folded in front of his chest, Xiang Hongxuan stepped on his hands, and jumped on the horse's back, just like when he was a child, Xiang Hongxuan got on the horse for the first time, and Zhou Xun served him on the horse. That year, Zhou Xun also came to Dongyu Palace for the first time, he was fourteen years old, and Xiang Hongxuan was eight years old.
After Xiang Hongxi and Zhou Xun got on their horses, the attendants led them to the horse farm.
"Lao Jiu, Yan En, there are no monarchs and ministers today, just like when we were young, let's have a contest of galloping horses." Xiang Hongxuan said loudly, as if he had returned to ten years ago, at that time, Zhou Xun was still a white student, Xiang Hongxi had just learned to ride a horse, and he was not pro-government, in this horse farm, three teenagers chased me, riding horses, swaying sweat on their bodies, and finally tired to the grass, looking up at the sky, saying wishful thinking, absurd and true.
A horsewhip sounded, and the three horses ran up, perhaps because of Xiang Hongxuan's words before he started, Xiang Hongxi, who had always been hanging, riveted his strength, and waved the whip in his hand desperately, his jujube red horse really took the lead, slightly ahead of Xiang Hongxuan and Zhou Xun, but only ran one lap, and the horses under Xiang Hongxi were obviously a little physically exhausted, and gradually fell behind Xiang Hongxuan and Zhou Xun. No matter how desperately Xiang Hongxi waved the horsewhip, the jujube red horse had already done his best.
Xiang Hongxi looked at the backs of Xiang Hongxuan and Zhou Xun galloping, his eyes were a little moist, the horse was picked by himself, just like ten years ago, they made a wish on the grass, Xiang Hongxuan said that he wanted to become an emperor through the ages, Zhou Xun said that he wanted to become a virtuous minister, but he said that he hoped to have a magnificent palace and countless beautiful concubines.
Xiang Hongxuan smiled, when he became an adult, Xiang Hongxuan really built him a magnificent palace, but he was not particularly happy, because what he really wanted to say that day was that he wanted to become the bravest general in Dongyu. A teardrop fell into the air from Xiang Hongxi's face, and was quickly blown away by the wind, and he lost both his dream and horse racing.
"Yan'en, it seems that Lao Jiu can't catch up with us, there is only one lap left, don't be careless." Xiang Hongxuan became a little proud, and he shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, the minister is going to catch up with you, so don't be careless."
Zhou Xun retorted unceremoniously to Xiang Hongxuan, but his legs and feet were a little unnatural, and he tightened the horse's belly a little harder.
If nothing else, his dark horse should slightly win over Xiang Hongxuan's white horse, but how can his subordinates win the lord? Ten years ago, he won Xiang Hongxuan, because only then will the little emperor be impressed with him, his wish will be valued by the little emperor, and he will have the opportunity to enter the previous dynasty, since he stepped into the Dongyu Kingdom, he no longer has any extravagant hopes.
Now Xiang Hongxuan is no longer the emperor who once had to look at the queen mother in everything, he is the emperor who holds the power of life and death, Zhou Xun can't win him, and he doesn't dare to win him, but if he loses too obviously, Xiang Hongxuan will also be annoyed with him, and the most important thing is that he wasted his preparations. Seeing that he was about to enter the finish line, Zhou Xun increased the strength of his legs and feet a little bit, and Xiang Hongxuan's white horse and Zhou Xun's dark horse rushed out of the finish line at the same time.
"Yan En, you are still the same Yan En back then, this equestrian skill is still so good." Xiang Hongxuan tightened the reins of his horse and laughed heartily.
"Your Majesty, you are no longer the young man you used to be, and it won't be long before Your Majesty's equestrian skills will catch up with the minister." Zhou Xun got off the horse, he respectfully walked to Xiang Hongxuan's horse, half-squatted, and served Xiang Hongxuan to dismount. After a while, Xiang Hongxi finally ran to the end, and Xiang Hongxuan glanced at Xiang Hongxi.
"It seems that only Lao Jiu is still the old Jiu, and he will always be at the bottom."
Xiang Hongxi got off the horse out of breath, and when he heard Xiang Hongxuan's words, he barely had a smile on his face, Xiang Hongxuan and Zhou Xun looked at Xiang Hongxi's funny appearance, and they all laughed out loud.
At this moment, Xiang Hongxi also seems to have returned to ten years ago, a horse race without dignity, one is thinking about him, the other is a beginner, only Xiang Hongxuan is seriously racing horses, but these are not important, the important thing is that Xiang Hongxuan is happy, it was like this ten years ago, and it will be the same ten years later.
"Brother Huang, it's not that the younger brother is not proficient in horseback riding, but this horse is not powerful, and you can't blame the younger brother for not being proficient." Xiang Hongxi said the truth seriously, but Xiang Hongxuan would not believe it.
"I understand, Lao Jiu is low-key, then Lao Jiu is willing to gamble and lose, clean the stable, and can't let others pass for him, otherwise I will be severely punished."
After speaking, Xiang Hongxuan led Zhou Xun to the Feiyu Palace, they should go to enjoy the soup bath, Xiang Hongxi looked at the huge stable, this is going to be cleaned, it is estimated that it will be evening, how can he go back to the palace to see his baby son.
