Xiao Mingze closed his eyes and took two deep breaths, "Go to Qiushuiju." ”

In October, the weather is a little cooler, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, and it will not be long before the autumn hunting. A month earlier, the paddock had been surrounded by people, just waiting for the royal driver to arrive.

Xie Wan took the book set by the Shang Palace Bureau and went to Shoukang Palace again, and the Empress Dowager Zhao was still sitting in front of the case and approving the folds, and when she saw Xie Wan, she also took the scroll and flipped through it, which was regarded as an endorsement of these preparations.

Xie Wan lowered his head, "Slave maid, please order, this time the ladies in the harem are all going." ”

Empress Dowager Zhao didn't raise her eyes, she only lifted the pen and dropped a Zhu criticism on the fold, "The mourning family doesn't care about this, you just want to ask the emperor." ”

Xie Wan nodded and said that he was about to exit, but when he came to the door, he heard the voice of Empress Dowager Zhao, "Wait, come back." ”

"Where does the emperor stay the most during these times?"

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, it is Zhao Guiren's Qiushui Residence."

Zhao Mei relied on the relationship with the Empress Dowager Zhao, and she and Xiao Mingze were inseparable cousins, and they had always acted arbitrarily. Empress Dowager Zhao nodded and frowned and asked, "Have you been to see Gu Baolin, are you okay?" ”

Xie Wan's heart was cold, she thought that Empress Dowager Zhao didn't know what Zhao Mei did, so she indulged Zhao Mei a lot, but now it seems that Empress Dowager Zhao is not just asking about the harem.

Xie Wan's head lowered a lot, "The slave maid has asked the imperial doctor to see it, Gu Niangzi is in good health, and there will be no major problem in cultivating for two days." ”

Xie Wan shook his head like this, and the speed of his speech slowed down a lot, and the Empress Dowager Zhao glanced up at Xie Wan with a sense of notice, "You have been doing a good job lately, and you can do the work of the palace maidens, but you have to remember that these are all given to you by the mourning family." How to say and do in front of the emperor, do you know in your heart? ”

"The Queen Mother's Ende slave doesn't dare to forget, so she naturally does her best to do a good job."

Empress Dowager Zhao stared at Xie Wan for a while, and after a little silence, she still didn't say anything, only said softly, "Go down." ”

Empress Dowager Zhao's desire to speak stopped, Xie Wan understood in her heart that she Xie Wan was the Empress Dowager Zhao's person, and she only needed to do things according to Empress Dowager Zhao's instructions, and she didn't have to hold grievances for others.

Just like before, Zhao Mei was angry with Xie Wan, and Empress Dowager Zhao was also calm.

Xie Wan turned around and walked out of Shoukang Palace, suppressing all the complicated emotions in his mind, after all, there is a sentence that Empress Dowager Zhao said very rightly, if it weren't for Empress Dowager Zhao, Xie Wan would be just a pawn of Si Yuansi at most.

According to Xiao Mingze's meaning, Qiu Hunt still brought all eight people from the harem, after all, it is not often to leave the palace.

Autumn hunting is about a month, Xiao Mingze first has to work with the officials of the previous dynasty, and naturally a few people in the harem can't take care of it, Xie Wan naturally follows Xiao Mingze to serve, but most of the time he is silent.

On this day, Xiao Mingze called several ministers of the previous dynasty to hunt together, and Xie Wan helped Xiao Mingze to get on the horse, "Your Majesty be careful, the slave and maid wish Your Majesty no arrows." ”

Xiao Mingze pulled the horse rope, the horse raised its front hooves, and the sun shone directly on Xiao Mingze's face, which was a different kind of spirit, and the corners of his lips were raised in a high-spirited tone, "When the lonely rabbit comes back, you will be fed." ”

Without waiting for Xie Wan to answer, Xiao Mingze rushed out with a horsewhip.

Xie Wan raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Mingze's distant back, the grassland was endless, and the air in the suburbs of Beijing seemed to have a breath of freedom, the corners of Xie Wan's lips pursed slightly, and he was in a much happier mood.

As soon as Xie Wan turned around, he almost bumped into a person, and hurriedly took two steps back, lowering his eyebrows, "Slave maid......"

"It's me."

A familiar voice sounded, Xie Wan looked up, and Shen Shirong's smiling eyebrows came into view. Xie Wan's mind moved slightly, but he still remembered the rules and wanted to be polite, Shen Shirong picked up Xie Wan and pulled the person to the side.

"Okay, I've done it all, no one will find out you're not there."

Xie Wan struggled but couldn't break free of Shen Shirong's hand, so he could only purse his lips, "This is not in order, General Shen, please let go of the slave." ”

Shen Shirong, who was speaking, had already taken Xie Wan to a secluded place, quite a distance from the camp, but it was not in the same direction as Xiao Mingze.

There were two foals parked in front of him, one of them had snow-white fur and no variegation at all, and when he saw Xie Wan's big eyes, his big eyes lit up, and he was about to lean towards Xie Wan's side. Shen Shirong glared at him with a look, and the horse was born.

"Do you remember when you were a child, you said you wanted a little white horse, but you were too young to even get a foal, and Uncle Xie didn't allow you to ride it at that time."

Shen Shirong raised his lips and smiled, his broken hair moved with the wind, and he looked uninhibited, "But I've always remembered it, I named it Treading Snow, do you like it." ”

Xie Wan was stunned, and he forgot all the etiquette rules that he still had to say in his mouth for a while. A seed planted when I was a child, spanning more than ten years, suddenly took root and sprouted today.

Shen Shirong walked over and untied the reins of the snow, turned around and stretched out his hand to Xie Wan, "Come, try your little white horse." ”

Xie Wan took a small step forward, but soon stopped where he was, shook his head and stood still, his face hesitant and struggling.

Xie Wan still remembers what Xie Shi'an said at that time, he said that women should not show their heads, they should study in the boudoir, instead of thinking about crazy games.

Xie Wan said at that time that the six arts of the gentleman were also among them. But Xie Shi'an said that girls can't lead soldiers to fight, and those are what men should learn and experience.

Xie Wan twisted his eyebrows and finally lowered his head, and his voice was low, "The slave can't." ”

Shen Shirong frowned and looked at Xie Wan for a while, and finally hugged Xie Wan and sent him to the horse, "When I was a child, I said that you can't stay at home all the time, lest you become an old antique, it seems that my worries are not superfluous at all." Don't tell me you can't, and don't say anything about etiquette. You can do anything with me as long as you want. ”

Xie Wan looked down at Shen Shirong, Shen Shirong raised his head and smiled at her, the wind blew the broken hair in Xie Wan's ears, and the sun shone down warmly, and there was only Shen Shirong in the Quartet.

He said that you can do anything as you want.

Shen Shirong put Xie Wan's feet into the pedals, and then took the horse rope and walked slowly in front, "Treading snow is very docile, don't be afraid, I won't let you get hurt by your side." ”

Xie Wan's heart softened suddenly, she didn't interrupt Shen Shirong's words again, and practiced with Shen Shirong very seriously for an afternoon, which can be regarded as a good look.

The sunset on the grassland reflected the whole sky, and it also announced to Xie Wan that such a hard-won time was coming to an end, Xie Wan helped Shen Shirong to get off the horse, "I'm going back, thank you, I'm very happy today." ”

Xie Wan looked at Shen Shirong's eyes, opened his lips and wanted to say something, but he was only blessed, and turned his head in the direction of the tent.

Shen Shirong's hand holding the reins tightened, he wanted to tell Xie Wan that he would marry her and let her do whatever she wanted freely, but now Shen Shirong couldn't do it, so he chose not to say it.
