Chapter 21: The Runaway Horse
When everyone thought that the spring hunt would end early because of the injuries of the two princes, Chang Yue's female officer, Yu An, informed everyone in the camp that the spring hunt would continue, but the hunting was canceled and changed to three on the grassland.
Early in the morning, before he could turn around from last night's stamina, Chang Yuanli was uncomfortable, not only his shoulders were sore, but his head was also groggy.
Chang Yuanwen, who was sleeping next to her, lightly put on her robe, and carefully lay next to Chang Yuanli, shaking her arm, trying to wake her up.
"......" Actually, she had already woken up, but the pain in her body made her not want to get up at all.
"The Seventh Imperial Maiden, are the Sixth Imperial Maidens awake?"
Is Sinan Xing outside? She used the strength of her arms to prop up half of her body, rubbing under the covers and wearing her robe.
Chang Yuanwen jumped up and down to open the curtain of the tent, "Lord Si is early! The sixth sister is dressed! ”
"Son-in-law!" She hurriedly pulled up all her long hair with a hairpin, and walked out with knee pads, "Lord Si got up so early?" ”
She thought that Si Nanxing was late and came to call her, so she pulled Chang Yuanwen and prepared to go to the racecourse, "Let's go, aren't they ...... Kindness? Si Nanxing raised his hand and pulled out her hairpin, and all the hair that had just been pulled up fell out in an instant, and some of it was naughtily left on his hands.
"This kind of bun is not for you." He took out a purple silk belt from behind him like a trick, and without waiting for Chang Yuanli to take it, he tied up all her hair by himself, "Yesterday, I saw you using a belt to pull your hair, so I borrowed a silk cloth belt from Aunt Yu Zhen." ”
"Master Si will also comb the woman's hair." Chang Yuanwen had only seen the internal officials combing their hair in the palace, but she didn't expect the supervisor to do the same.
"There is a little sister at home, and Weichen often combs her hair when she is at home." He smiled lightly and tied the last lap and tied a bow.
"Who is participating in today's grassland triathlon?" She digressed from the subject.
"King Wenxuanjun, King Yuanliang, and King Zhaojun have some people who are not familiar with Weichen."
She had heard that King Yuanliang was the only heir of the first emperor who survived after Chang Yue succeeded to the throne and was allowed to be in the Zhongli Mansion in Beijing, named Chang Xin.
"King Hezhao is the eldest daughter of King Anding and Princess Yuyang, and she was specially recalled by His Majesty."
Specially? Don't recall your own brother, recall your brother's daughter?
- Royal Horse Farm.
The three grassland events in Nanyu Country are horse racing, archery, and pot throwing.
Horses are provided by the trainer and the horse is rounded around the racecourse for 10 laps, with the first to finish the racecourse.
Standing on the track from left to right are Jiang Chuanmo and Yuan Liang Wang, the remaining three she doesn't know, it is estimated that one of them should be King Hezhaojun.
"Red-maned flaming horses?" She looked at the horse led by one of them with puzzled eyes, and a fragmentary memory of this horse crossed her mind, "Isn't this a horse specially provided by Long Yuan Kingdom?" ”
"She is the daughter of King Anding, Princess Yuyang is the third princess of Longyuan Kingdom, married to Nanyu Kingdom, and we are allies." Si Nanxing got a folding fan out of nowhere, although it was spring, it wasn't hot to this extent, right?
Married to the princess, it is no wonder that Chang Yue will send the king of Anding to the frontier after ascending the throne.
"However, Princess Yuyang was married as a princess because her biological mother's identity was too humble."
"Master Si, how do you know so much?"
He chuckled, but did not reply.
At the whistle of the trainer, the five horses rushed at equal speeds, but the red steed was especially fast, and when the other horses had just finished one lap, it had already completed two laps.
"Her equestrian... Is it so powerful? In her cognition, Jiang Chuanmo is relatively powerful.
"It's just a different breed of horse, and this fierce horse is twice as fast as a normal horse." Si Nanxing looked at the red-maned horse with deep eyes, and the sounds of noisy cheers around him came and went, but they didn't disturb him at all.
"Sixth sister, sister-in-law can't see it." Chang Yuanwen tugged at the corner of Chang Yuanli's clothes, the difference between the two was only two years old, but the difference in height was a big difference.
She bent down and stretched out her hand to pick Chang Yuan's wife up, but she heard an exclamation, the sound of horses' hooves seemed to be close to her ears, and before she could react, the people around her had reached out and dragged her into her arms, and Chang Yuan's daughter in her arms fell on the lawn because of inertia, "Sister-in-law!" ”
Si Nanxing's eyebrows were furrowed, and he aimed the folding fan in his hand at the vital point of the horse, and in the blink of an eye, the red-maned horse had already fallen in a pool of blood, and even the person with the horse had fallen.
Chang Yue: "Li'er! ”
Meng Qingzhen: "Ah Li! ”
Chang Jingchu: "Sister Alley! ”
Jiang Chuanmo: "Chang Yuanli! ”
The four of them called out her name at the same time, Chang Yuanli finally woke up from her trance, her body was still unable to move in someone's arms, she just... Was it almost killed by this horse? Her sister was almost trampled to death by this horse?
"Your Majesty, give this horse to Weichen to deal with." Si Nanxing let go of Chang Yuanli without leaving a trace and handed her over to Meng Qingzhen, "The Seventh Imperial Daughter was also frightened, Your Majesty should accompany her more tonight." ”
Chang Yue didn't care about dealing with this horse, her mind was all on the frightened Chang Yuanli, "This matter is all up to you, how about Li'er!" What about my daughter-in-law? ”
Chang Yuanwen witnessed the horse die in front of her, and this kind of frontal impact made her sluggish for a long time, until Chang Jingchu picked her up, she put her arms around Chang Jingchu's neck and buried it on his shoulder and cried in a low voice.
"Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay......"
"Bring the king of Hezhao back to the camp tent, everyone is frightened today, and there is no need to participate in the banquet in the evening!" Chang Yue looked at the horse twice more before leaving.
Meng Qingzhen glanced at the corpse gloomily, and picked up the slightly trembling girl in his arms, "Supervisor Zheng, thanks to you today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain Brother Lu." ”
"It's what Weichen should do."
"Virtuous Father...... "She's almost recovered, but she still can't stand up with weak legs, "Thank you, Lord Si." ”
Si Nanxing nodded, summoned a few guards to transport the corpse to the cage, and turned back, not disliking the pool of blood at all, and picked up the folding fan that put the red-maned fiery horse to death from inside.
