Chapter 65: Military Drills
When I woke up again, it was a slight tingling in my lips that disturbed my dream, but I didn't want to open my eyes, I just shook my head impatiently, and Zhu Di said vaguely on my lips: "Little wild cat, get up!" ”
Seeing that I was indifferent, Zhu Di had to get up first, and after he left, I asked Zhi'er to help me freshen up.
"Zhi'er, is Xu Qi better?" I looked at myself who was picking flowers in the bronze mirror, and I was a little red-faced, thinking about the entanglement with Zhu Di yesterday, I was afraid that the people outside the door would hear it.
"My face is a little better, but it's still a little swollen, and I stayed in the house and didn't come out after listening to the young lady's instructions." Zhi'er skillfully pulled up my hair.
"Well, by the way, Zhi'er, I'll fry the para-avoidance medicine later!" I straightened the pendant jade between my forehead and said in a low voice.
"Miss......" Zhi'er was stunned when she wanted to speak.
"Let you go!" I glared at Zhi'er, and Zhi'er reluctantly stepped back and went to the kitchen.
Yesterday's rain washed the earth very fresh, and the flowers were delicate in the sun. By the time I got into the carriage, the sun had climbed up the roof.
Today is the day when the prince inspects the Fengyang army, and each general has brought his subordinates to practice there early. By the time I arrived at the school, the crown prince and the princesses were already seated. The soldiers of the various units were ready, just waiting for the prince to speak, and then the drill began.
"Let's get started!" When the prince saw me sit down, he commanded the eunuch behind him.
"Open...... Begin! The eunuch's elongated voice sounded sharply, and the soldiers and horses from all walks of life began to sonorously stage.
I've even seen the National Day military parade countless times, this kind of drill is simply too boring, so I didn't pay attention to it at all, just casually searched for Zhu Di's figure, he was dressed in a white robe, standing at the forefront of the third camp, his sharp eyes swept over the stands, but did not make any stops.
At the beginning, it was a contest of cavalry, and all kinds of horses came on the field one by one, and the heroic feeling of standing on horseback must have been very stylish.
One of the white horses, with a light gallop and a beautiful arc under its feet, made me feel excited.
"Do you think that side will win?" The prince's voice came low in his ears.
"Huh?" I looked up at him, how do I know which side, they are all dressed similarly, and now they are mixed together, it is even more difficult to distinguish.
"That side will win?" The prince continued.
"White horse!" When I turned around, I saw a spear about to stab the white horse in the thigh, and I couldn't help but scream.
"Huh?" The prince looked at me with a deep groan, and then smiled: "Are you looking at people or horses?" ”
"Of course, it's to watch the horse......" After speaking, I quickly covered my mouth, isn't it too kind to just look at the horse on such an occasion. I looked around, and everyone was looking intently at the school grounds, but no one paid attention to what I said, but the prince chuckled lowly.
"Like Hakuba? That one wasn't very good, though. The prince suddenly approached me and said. With his breath brushing in my ears, I moved a little uncomfortably to the side.
The eyes involuntarily glanced at Zhu Di, he was sitting on horseback, majestic, and his cold eyes seemed to sense my gaze, looking at this side. The cold lines on his face suddenly tightened. I quickly withdrew my gaze, and the prince was looking at me carefully, and it took me a little bit to react to what he had said. Such a horse is not a good horse, so what is it?
"Oh?" I opened my mouth in surprise, to be honest, I really didn't know much about horses, and only looked superficially.
"Wait a minute, I'll give you a white horse!" The prince looked at me in black and white, and said softly with a smile.
I nodded vigorously, the god horse, the god horse, I was very excited when I thought about it! Don't be a fool.
"Prince, there seems to be something wrong with King Yan!" Li Jinglong, who was on the side, suddenly attached himself to the prince's ear and said in a deep voice.
The eyes of the prince and I quickly turned to the school field, only to see Zhu Di holding a spear, sitting on horseback and attacking the other party fiercely, even the other party did not let go of the surrender, and the move was ruthless.
The general was already scarred, but Zhu Di didn't seem to be ready to stop. He can't be crazy, it's just a drill, not a desperate effort.
"Stop!" The prince got up and drank.
The eunuch immediately screamed, "Stop...... Hand ......"
Only then did Zhu Di finally stop attacking, and all the soldiers on the school field stopped their movements and stood there respectfully. The prince stood on the stage and looked down at the crowd: "You are all my warriors of the Ming Dynasty, today's drill, the palace has seen your bravery, and the future Ming Kingdom will be prosperous with you!" ”
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie, his subordinates will do their best for His Royal Highness, and they will never give up!" All the soldiers responded in unison.
"The determination of all the warriors, this palace has felt it, and today's drill will end here!"
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" With this shout, the prince walked up, and as he passed by me, he said in a low voice;
"If you want to see the horse, come with me!" As soon as I heard this, I quickly followed up.
When I came to the stable, where all kinds of horses were wagging their tails, I followed the prince to a separate stable, and I couldn't help but see it.
It was a horse as white as snow, with its long eyelashes fluttering at the sight of us, and its muscular body was a few points taller than that of ordinary horses. It kept kicking its horse's hooves and seemed to want to run.
"Yun Ji, have you eaten enough?" The prince gently stroked the hair on the horse's back and asked with a smile.
"Oh, it turns out that his name is Yun Ji, so beautiful!" I also stepped forward and stroked its fur, and the horse seemed to understand my compliment, neighing, and kicking its hooves.
"It's a sacred horse from Goryeo, and it's been with me for less than two months, you like to send you!" The prince saw that I couldn't put it down, and he gave it to me generously and directly. How many times can this kind of good thing happen in life? Even if I don't know how to ride, it's pleasing to watch every day!
"Really, are you willing to do it?" I asked in disbelief with a wink.
"Really, as long as you like!" The prince looked at me deeply, and his voice was as pleasant as a clear spring.
"Thank you very much!" I responded unceremoniously, and I didn't forget to pat him on the shoulder, but I instantly realized how rebellious what I had just done, and I couldn't help but be stunned, and the prince was also stunned by my actions, and only smiled and looked away with a half-ring.
I turned my head and didn't dare to look at him, so I had to keep stroking the white horse, and suddenly on a whim I said, "Can I ride it and try it?" ”
Actually, I was thinking about how high it was, and maybe I couldn't climb it at all, so I thought I'd give it a try.
"Yes!"
The prince asked someone to lead the horse out, I tried to climb, and sure enough, I couldn't climb up, I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, could it be that I can really only watch?
"Come, I'll take you up!" The prince's soft voice sounded behind him, and then a pair of big hands held up my legs, and then finally came up, ...... I want to eat more in the future so that I can grow taller.
