The old man was old and strong, sitting on a red-maned horse, bent his waist quite accommodatingly, and said a few words to Wei Yuanxiao, and the rough thunderous laughter came out, and everyone around him also laughed.

Wei Jingji led the horse and stood aside, his face expressionless, in stark contrast to the people around him.

Hearing the sound, he just patted the horse's head.

At this time, a plump and beautiful palace concubine walked over to the saint and said something to the saint and Wei Yuan.

That should be Wei Yuan's biological mother, Concubine Shu.

Su Yao looked back at the real person, and suddenly thought of the rumors that Mu Ruan had told her before.

"When He passed away with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the saint had a three-month visit to show his condolences, and everyone felt that the saint had a deep affection for him, and I wanted to see that he was just sorry for His Highness's untimely death, after all, His Highness was the prince he cultivated single-handedly!"

"You know the lady, right? I once overheard my father talking to a colleague, saying that Concubine Shu used to have many benefactors in the Beauty Pavilion, and many of them were high-ranking dignitaries. Because of this, the fact that Concubine Shu gave birth to five princes less than a year after entering the palace caused an uproar in the court. ”

Su Yao asked at the time: "Then why has no one ever mentioned it?" ”

"That's where the weirdness goes. For some reason, the sage decided that Wei Yuan was his son, and he was extremely pampered, and he was raised by the sage in the Heart Cultivation Hall until he was six years old. ”

"Except for you."

Mu Ruan smiled and began to look left and right to talk about other things.

Over there, Wei Jingji straddled the horse, tightened the reins in his hand, and turned around, and the voice of a man with vicissitudes of life suddenly sounded beside him, making people expect the kind eyes of the owner of this voice.

Gao Qizhi is over fifty years old, his sideburns are slightly white, but his back is thin and straight, and he has a righteous air emanating from his bones when he stands there.

"Sage, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been separated from you for a few years, and he has been honing in the army alone, and his archery skills will definitely improve a lot, if you let the prince go with you, the sage can also take a look at His Highness's archery skills now."

When the sage heard this, he hesitated slightly.

Wei Jingji said lightly: "The saint has his own five brothers to accompany him, and he is used to hunting alone. ”

The saint narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, "Gao Aiqing can see it, this rebel has been in the army for so many years, and the slightest bit of sharpness has not been extinguished, and he has become more and more frivolous!" ”

That being said, until Wei Jingji rode out of the hinterland, no one stopped him.

Wei Yuan said: "The second brother is really just used to hunting alone, and the saint should not be angry." ”

The saint was silent, and in the end he did not call any of them, but only took the chief eunuch who served in front of the emperor, and led two columns of guards into the forest.

The civil and military officials, the daughters of the official family who witnessed all this in secret, had different thoughts, but it was only a few moments, and the hinterland was lively again.

————

The position of the female dependents is separated from the place where Su Yao lives, and next to it is the place where the gentlemen rest.

When he was about to turn the corner, Su Yao didn't look in front of him and suddenly bumped into a person.

She hissed softly, and was about to look up.

"Ahh

Su Yao was shocked, lifted her eyelids and looked, who was the person who was close to her, not Duan Rin?

This was the first time the two had seen each other since the crown ceremony that day.

It's just that now the identities of the two are very different.

That day, the crown ceremony was chaotic, Su Jiao and Mu Ruan had accidents one after another, and Duan Jiao's emotions were difficult to appease, and in the end, he only asked everyone to watch a scene, and then the scene ended.

Although the Mu family did not anger the Duan family, Duan Rin also seemed to have lost three souls and seven spirits during this time.

When he came to participate in the autumn hunt, he just wanted to see Su Yao again, but the place where she lived was heavily guarded, and he could only walk around, never thinking that he would really wait for her to come out.

"Second cousin." The girl took a step back and asked softly, "Did I hurt you?" ”

Duan Rin listened to her soft tone again, and he felt as if he was in a different world, he shook his head and said bitterly, "You...... How about now? ”

"Everything's fine."

"Are you still used to living in the East Palace?"

"Okay."

"Is the prince good to you?"

Su Yao nodded, when she didn't see anyone, she was worried about Mu Ru'an, and she rarely thought of Duan Rin.

Now that I see people, I feel a little lost in my heart.

If it weren't for the many accidents in between, she and him would have been husband and wife long ago.

Duan Rin looked at the top of her black hair, struggled for a long time, but still couldn't hold back the sourness in her heart, and slowly said, "I'm sorry, it's me who bears you." ”

He could see clearly that she really wanted to marry him.

But it was his eldest brother who turned everything upside down, causing her to lose her innocence and having to marry his brother-in-law, and he couldn't even stop Wei Jingji from taking her away.

"This matter has nothing to do with you."

Su Yao knew what he was thinking, and after being stunned for a moment, he also knew that he couldn't blame anyone, if he really wanted to get to the bottom of it, he could only say that fate made people, "The matter has passed, and the second cousin doesn't have to think about it anymore." ”

Duan Rin was amazed at her indifference, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"A woman's marriage is a first-class event, so abrupt and sloppy, how can I not feel sorry for you, and I don't have to think about it? I'll never forget it for the rest of my life. ”

Su Yao wanted to say a few words of comfort, but the words were in his throat, and before he could come out, he saw Wei Jingji coming from around the corner.

He carried an arrow on his back, a longbow in his hand, and his eyes were indifferent, and he glanced inadvertently at their position, and then paused.

The long bow, which had both beauty and killing spirit, was half a human height, and was carried by Wei Jingji, but it became the right size, he was born tall, with broad shoulders and broad chest, half a head taller than Duan Rin, and stood in place at this time, looking at her, looking at her, and meeting her eye.

Su Yao didn't want to cause trouble for Duan Rin, so she hurriedly withdrew her gaze, "I can't forget it now, in another month, a year, or five years, I will always forget, the second cousin should not worry about whether I am doing well, and I should take care of my aunt and eldest cousin." ”

Duan Rin looked at her, and really didn't know whether to say that she was transparent by nature, or she was cold by nature, and even saw such a lifelong event as love and marriage.

If she scolded him, he might have felt better, and she could have comforted him so lightly, which made him feel even more guilty.

After Su Jiao finished speaking, he left Duan Rin, who couldn't bear it, and walked towards Wei Jingji.

Wei Jingji even deliberately reserved a place for them to talk, standing at the back of the tent with his bow on the ground, he drew an arrow from the quiver, turned it between his fingers, and threw it into the air without looking, and a wail was immediately heard from above.

The wild goose that was shot fell sharply, smashing up a cloud of dust.

The only person who can play goose hunting as a pitcher is the person in front of him.

Su Yao walked in front of Wei Jingji, "Where are you going when I go?" ”

He drew an arrow at last, and did not throw it outward, but swirled between his fingers, and his tone was unusual.

"Don't talk to him anymore?"

A gust of wind blew, the maple forest behind the young man rustled, countless bright red maple leaves flew, his long hair tied up high also flew with it, his deep eyebrows and starry eyes were indifferent, and his facial features were handsome and handsome.

And he stood in front of her, blocking out most of the wind, and even the broken hair on her sideburns was only slightly moved.

Wei Jingji stepped forward and grabbed her waist, the deep meaning in his eyes was unpredictable, and he asked for no reason.

"Regrets?"

Su Yao felt that the hand on his waist was hot, and his hand was on his arm, "What regrets?" ”

"Don't you regret not marrying Duan Rin?"

Su Yao shook her head.

Wei Jingji looked at her for a few seconds, then suddenly lowered his head and gently kissed the corner of her lips, and the color of pleasure was overflowing.

"I believe you."

Su Yao looked away and looked away.

She silently added in her heart that she did not regret it because she knew what she really wanted.

She no longer craves love.

Instead of expecting others to love her, she should love herself.

Wei Jingji took her to look for horses, and the saint had already advanced into the forest, and the rest of the people also set off one after another.

After putting Su Yao on the horse and sitting down, he also rolled over.

The moment he passed through her waist and held the reins, Wei Jingji suddenly discovered that the qi in his heart had miraculously dissipated all these days.

Even he himself thought it was funny.

Hooking his lower lip, Wei Jing raised his whip very slowly and methodically, and the horse rushed out like lightning.

Su Yao leaned back nervously.

He took advantage of the situation and whispered in Su Yao's ear: "Are you afraid? ”

Su Yao had never ridden a horse a few times, and she was very rusty, let alone such a fast speed, and her back was tightly pressed against the man's chest.

She shook her head with a white face.

Seeing her hard mouth, Wei Jingji only scared her, and the horse's speed gradually slowed down.

However, as soon as the speed slowed down, Su Yao realized how intimate the posture of the two was.

Wei Jingji hugged her from behind, holding the reins loosely with one hand and casually resting the other on her waist, as if to stabilize her.

From time to time, he would lean over to her sideburns and kiss her on the forehead.

Su Yao thought that there was also such a scene in the booklet on the wedding day, where the mandarin ducks painted there were riding together in the uninhabited forest, and her face turned red all of a sudden.

At this time, Wei Jingji turned his horse's head and said casually: "There are many people, let's go to a place with fewer people." ”

Su Yao's cheeks flushed, and he immediately shook his head, and even panicked to hold the reins in his hand.

"Don't!"

Wei Jing was a little puzzled, and when he lowered his head slightly, he saw that the back of the girl's neck in front of him was red, like a fine cold porcelain covered with a layer of mist, the jade was soft and fragrant, and the traces of red spread all the way to the depths of the placket.

He froze for a moment, holding her hand at the waist, unconsciously exerting force.

Some ridiculous images suddenly came to mind.

The waist was suddenly grasped, and Su Yao's body couldn't help but tremble.

Neither of them spoke, and both of them had just experienced themselves, and a little touch was enough to make the atmosphere ambiguous.

Fortunately, they were walking through a clearing, without the shade of the trees, and the scorching sun made both of them sober up, and the sluggish air gradually flowed.

Wei Jingji followed her meaning and swept his eyes forward as if nothing had happened.
