Chapter 29. Horse taming
"Congratulations to Sister Mei!" An Lingrong came to Xianyue Pavilion early in the morning to say goodbye, and happened to meet Su Peisheng to announce the decree, and Zhen Huan was also there.
"The noble Shen family, who is stable and generous, has a good heart, and is specially given a title, Hui."
Shen Meizhuang thanked Su Peisheng for his gratitude, and then pulled Zhen Huan and An Lingrong into the house together, and the Xianyue Pavilion was already full of all kinds of rewards and gifts.
"My sister is really happy to have a son." Zhen Huan carefully helped Shen Meizhuang to sit down.
"What a big joy, suddenly you are not allowed to go here, and you are not allowed to move there, you are really a stuffy person." Although Shen Meizhuang said this, there was a smile in his eyes that could not be hidden.
"The first trimester is the most important, and it's always right to be careful." An Lingrong also told her carefully, "Sister, don't be worried, you should listen to Caiyue and the imperial doctor." β
"It's only been a month, and there's still nine months to go, but it's fast." Zhen Huan looked at An Lingrong, then turned back to Shen Meizhuang and said, "I heard Jinxi say that when she is eight months pregnant, her mother's mother can enter the palace to take care of her personally, and the family will be reunited." β
Shen Meizhuang's face was overjoyed.
An Lingrong was a little sad, her mother couldn't come to see her anymore.
Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang said a few words, and found that An Lingrong was a little silent today, and couldn't help but wonder: "Sister Rong, what's wrong with you?" β
An Lingrong suddenly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's nothing, just thinking that Sister Mei is pregnant now, I'm afraid I can't help the queen mother with trivial things anymore, seeing that Princess Wenyi's birthday is coming, the queen mother will be tired again." β
"yes." Shen Meizhuang nodded with some regret, he had tasted the taste of power, and it was indeed a little uncomfortable to let go suddenly, "The queen mother is gathering Concubine Hua and Concubine Qi today to discuss how to hold Princess Wenyi's birthday ceremony. Cao Guiren, as the biological mother of Princess Wen Yi, has meritorious parenting, maybe she will be promoted to the position of concubine, if this is the case, Concubine Hua's resurgence may not be far away. β
Zhen Huan's face was pale, she only pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, but An Lingrong responded softly.
"I have a crush on this one in your belly, when will I be his godmother?" Zhen Huan changed the topic, reached out to touch Shen Meizhuang's belly, and laughed.
Shen Meizhuang knew that she had a pimple in her heart, so she also followed her words and turned the page: "Look at you, that's all, I'm afraid that no one will call you a mother?" Look at Sister Rong, she looks more stable than you. She lowered her eyes, looked at her flat lower abdomen, and her face showed a touch of pity, "Right now, I don't even know if it's a man or a woman." β
"Men and women will not refuse to come." Zhen Huan took An Lingrong's hand and said with a smile, "When the time comes, as soon as he is born, he will have three mothers, how good." β
An Lingrong covered her lips and chuckled: "Sister Guan loves children so much, why don't you ask for one for yourself?" β
Shen Meizhuang looked at Zhen Huan seriously: "Rong'er is right, the two of you should also take care of your bodies, the sooner you have children, the better." Have you seen that recipe? Have you eaten these days? Shen Meizhuang looked at An Lingrong, "If it's okay, give Huan'er a copy too." β
An Lingrong had a smile in his eyes, hiding the deep meaning in his eyes: "Sister Mei, don't worry, I know it in my heart." β
"I woke up early this morning, and I remembered something important." Shen Meizhuang suddenly said, "I heard that Concubine Hua has been wandering in the Qinzheng Palace in recent days, and there are faint traces of loosening in the emperor. β
"It's a matter of time before she returns to favor, and it's still my sister's womb that matters most." Zhen Huan seemed to see a little away, "Let them fight, we just need to guard my sister until the child lands." β
Shen Meizhuang pursed his lips and smiled: "It's nonsense again, how can grace be said not to be wanted?" Concubine Hua will certainly return to favor, but how to return to favor and when to return to favor are particular, as long as it drags on for a longer time, the more anxious she will be, and the easier it is to make mistakes. β
An Lingrong's eyes flashed, and he said, "If my sisters can trust me, why don't you leave it to me this time?" β
Shen Meizhuang was surprised, An Lingrong rarely attacked the exposed like this, and couldn't help but wonder: "Rong'er, what can you do?" β
"The emperor Tu Xian accepted a Bi promise, and naturally he can also Tu Xian to pamper another person." An Lingrong thought in his heart that he could take someone over, "It's just that we can't learn from Concubine Hua, and if we can send the palace maid to the emperor, we have to be a serious little master in the end." β
"Sister Rong is right?" Zhen Huan thought about it for a while and had a faint guess.
An Lingrong raised her lips and smiled: "I still have to bother Sister Mei to open her mouth and pick someone from the palace for me." β
The scorching sun of midsummer burned people sweating, and they saw a carriage being led by the little eunuch from a distance, and the frost flower that followed next to him saw An Lingrong early in the morning, raised his head and said to the people in the carriage: "Little master, little master Rong is waiting for you in front!" β
The curtain of the car was lifted, revealing the bright pretty face of Xiadongchun and Chun, she looked at it from afar, raised a big smile, and waved vigorously at An Lingrong: "Rong'er!" β
In just a moment, the carriage arrived in front of him, and Xia, Dongchun and Xia Dongchun got out of the carriage with neat movements.
"Zhizhi, slow down, be careful of falling." An Lingrong helped her, and the dill behind her hurriedly tilted an umbrella to shade the sun, An Lingrong wiped her sweat carefully for Xia Dongchun, "The sun is shining at this time, I will take you to Xinghua Village to settle down first, and then go to the emperor to say goodbye." β
"It's so sunny, you still come to wait for me in person, how can it be good if it's sunburned." Xia, Dong and Chun still have a straightforward temper, even if the etiquette is learned in place, this natural temper still can't be changed.
"It's Hui Guiren who asked you to come, you remember to thank her later." An Lingrong reminded her.
Xia Dongchun pursed his lips: "Since you have spoken, I naturally want to thank you." β
An Lingrong smiled helplessly, took her to Xinghua Village first, gave her the Yicui Hall in the east to live, and then went to the Qinzheng Hall with her after some tidying up.
Who knew that halfway through, he saw Zhen Huan talking to a teenage child, and when he got closer to listen, he knew that this was the fourth elder brother who had been raised in the Old Summer Palace.
An Ling suddenly remembered her previous life, it was Zhen Huan who came to pick her up at this time, and the fourth elder brother talked to Zhen Huan at this time, and since then he has saved a mother-son relationship. It's just that I don't know if these four elder brothers deliberately approached or happened to meet each other.
I saw that Zhen Huan and the fourth elder brother had no one to serve nearby, the two were talking alone, and watched the fourth elder brother kneel down towards Zhen Huan: "Erchen is abrupt and reckless, just because Guan Niangniang is by the side of Huang Ama every day, and he has the most royal Ama sacred heart, Erchen just wants to ask Guan Niangniang a word, does Huang Ama not like me?" β
Zhen Huan was obviously stunned for a moment, and hurriedly helped the fourth elder brother up: "How come, your emperor Ama is just too busy......"
An Lingrong didn't listen to the next words, and quietly turned a corner with Xia Dongchun, and went around half a circle before arriving at the Qinzheng Palace.
Like in his previous life, the emperor was busy with government affairs at this time, worrying about military affairs in the northwest and drought in various places, and he had no time to see anyone.
An Lingrong originally didn't plan to really let Xia Dongchun go to see the emperor, but when someone arrived, he always had to say something. Knowing that the emperor was not available, he went back after explaining the reason to Su Peisheng.
On the way back, An Lingrong didn't meet Zhen Huan again, thinking that he had already finished speaking, but he turned his head and met Concubine Jing.
"Respect the concubine Niangniang Wan'an." An Lingrong and Xia, Dong and Chun bowed together.
Jing Concubine always has a gentle smile: "Get up." It's hot, why are you two still hanging out? β
"It's not that I'm hanging out, Sister Xia just arrived, and the concubine wanted to take her to ask the emperor for peace, but who knew that the emperor was not available now, and the concubine was preparing to go back with Sister Xia." An Lingrong said with a smile.
Concubine Jing glanced at Xia Dongchun: "Xia promised to know a lot of etiquette, I think it is the result of the queen's mother's painstaking training." β
"Yes, the concubine was ignorant before, which made the queen worry and tired." Xia Dongchun replied with low eyebrows.
Concubine Jing smiled, said no more, and turned to leave.
An Lingrong looked at the back of her leaving, revealing a slight sense of amazement. If the queen is a "pseudo-Bodhisattva", this is a "true Bodhisattva", she is the only one in the palace who is truly compassionate, she has never treated An Lingrong coldly, and she has also poured out her heart and lungs to Haoyue, who is not her own flesh and blood, and later Zhen Huan gave up her daughter to win her over.
In his previous life, no matter how vicious An Lingrong was, he never thought of harming Jing Concubine. Jing Concubine is like a pure land in the palace, An Lingrong always keeps it in mind, like guarding his last conscience.
Back in Xinghua Village, Xia Dongchun couldn't sit still, so he went to ask the queen for peace, and then sat down to rest for a while.
"Zhizhi, the time has come, do you understand what I mean?" An Lingrong poured her a cup of tea and said in a low voice.
Xia Dongchun's expression suddenly became serious: "Understood, what should I do?" β
Seeing her so serious, An Lingrong couldn't help laughing: "Okay, tease you, don't be so nervous." She reached out and patted Xia Dongchun's back to let her relax, "When the heat subsides, how about you go to the horse training ground to practice your hands first?" I heard that a good horse was sent to the northwest, but no one has tamed it yet. β
"Really? Then I'm going to try. "Summer, winter and spring's eyes lit up.
In the middle of summer, the closer you get to the night, the more muggy it gets, and the only time of the day is cool.
Early the next morning, Xia Dongchun changed into riding clothes and came to An Lingrong, An Lingrong was lazy and shirked himself, so Xia Dongchun had no choice, so he had to go to the horse training farm with the frost flower by himself.
As soon as she left, An Lingrong turned over and sat up from the bed: "Can you inquire clearly?" β
Cardamom Cat came in and said, "Well, Xiao Xia Zi saw that the emperor went to the direction of the horse training farm after seeing the minister, so he came to tell the slave maid, Xia promised to go over at this time, and he will definitely be able to meet the emperor." β
An Lingrong nodded, ready to get up and freshen up.
In the horse farm, Xia Dongchun looked at the sweaty BMW in front of him, his eyes were shining, and he immediately beckoned the eunuch of the horse farm to untie the reins.
The old eunuch said to Xia Dongchun with a bitter face: "The little master should choose another horse, this horse is very strong, no one has been able to tame it so far, and it has not hurt the little master." There is a white horse, with shiny hair and a gentle temperament, why don't you take it with a minion? β
"I've ridden horses since I was six years old, and I've tamed Mongolian horses since I was twelve, and I'm afraid it won't make it?" Other things may be Xia Dongchun arrogance, but she has full confidence in horseback riding, so naturally she will not take her life as a joke.
The old eunuch couldn't, so he had to take the bloody horse out of the stable.
Xia Dongchun pulled the reins, as soon as she looked at her, the horse snorted at her, and immediately wanted to break free of the reins, Xia Dongchun pulled hard, pulled suddenly, pressed the horse's head and turned over on the horse.
Seeing that he couldn't break free, the horse neighed and raised his front legs, and Xia Dongchun sat down, and the horse's body stood vertically, as if to throw Xia Dongchun down. Xia Dongchun tightened the reins, his whole body was tense, and his thighs were tightly clamped around the horse's belly, no matter how it moved, he couldn't get rid of it. So the horse spread its legs and galloped wildly, bringing up a circle of dust, and several times in summer, winter and spring were overturned and hung on the horse's belly, but she turned it back with skill, and clinged to the horse's back, enjoying the feeling of the wind passing through her ears.
"Phewβ"
The reins were straightened, and Xia Dongchun pulled the horse, her front legs were raised high, and when the sun rose, her figure fell in the sun and shone brightly, and her face no longer had the stupid appearance of the past, but was full of vitality, as warm as a blooming red rose.
The emperor stood in the shade of a tree not far away, looking at her with a wrong look in his eyes.
Su Peisheng, who was on the side, saw it and suddenly felt at ease.
