King Chen walked at a slower pace than usual, leading the pony to stroll around the racecourse.
"My lord." The steward of the racecourse came up flatteringly: "The little one is here to lead the horse for you. How can you do such rough and tiring work?"
"I need you to teach me when I do things?" King Chen waved his hand impatiently: "Stay here, don't bother me."
"His Royal Highness." Jiuzhu gradually got used to sitting on horseback: "It doesn't matter if someone else leads the horse."
"When someone else leads a horse, can you be more at ease than me?"
Jiuzhu shook her head.
"Then it's okay." King Chen stroked the pony's neck: "How can these servants lead the horse, how can I care."
For the first time in her life, a little girl dares to dislike it
Small butler: "… "
See if this is human words, give them a hundred courage, and don't dare to be careless.
The flattery failed, and Xiao Guan wisely shrank aside.
The colleague whispered yin and yang: "I told you not to join in the fun, but you won't listen."
"If you go, you will be disliked, and if you don't go, you will be afraid of making the nobles dissatisfied." The steward couldn't get along, and retorted stubbornly: "If His Royal Highness King Chen dislikes us for not being able to serve us well, in the end, won't we eat and hang?"
"Do you know who the noble person on the horse is?" My colleague whispered in the steward's ear: "That is the daughter of the Ming family, the future Princess Chen."
I don't have the eyesight to see, I deserve to stay in the racecourse for so many years and can't get promoted.
After strolling around the racecourse for a few laps, King Chen stopped and handed his hand to Jiuzhu: "Come down."
Jiuzhu: "…"
Riding a horse is fun.
"It's your first time riding a horse, you shouldn't ride for too long, or your legs will hurt." No matter how King Chen lifted Jiuzhu up, he took her down.
"Oh." Jiuzhu glanced at the pony and nodded obediently while standing on the ground.
"I'll bring you to play next time." Seeing Jiuzhu's reluctant eyes, Chen Wang's mouth was faster than his brain: "Now I'll accompany you to pick a little white horse."
Tsk, the little girl is really troublesome, I am afraid that she will be coaxed if she is not happy.
The little ponies in the stables were originally raised to make the royal children happy. King Chen was not interested in this kind of short and stout horses. Today, it is difficult to get a pony pen to pick a horse. At a glance, he fell in love with a pony that was fluffy and plump and covered in snow.
"Your Highness has good eyesight, this kind of horse is a pony presented by Chizhou. It's cute and cute, and it is very popular with female relatives." The steward who failed to flatter the horse just now stepped forward and put the reins on the horse himself: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, little one. We will then take the horse to your palace."
"No need, just send it to Ming Shilang's house." King Chen gently tugged at the small broken hair by Jiuzhu's temple: "The little white horse you like."
"Hmmmm." Jiuzhu nodded again and again, her eyes fixed on the little white horse: "Thank you, Your Highness."
He said thank you His Royal Highness, but what he was looking at was a horse.
Oh, woman.
Wanting to pull her hair hard, but afraid of bullying the little girl into tears, King Chen resigned and sighed: "Let's go, I'll take you home."
Lest the Ming family think that he kidnapped the daughter of the Ming family.
"His Royal Highness." Before getting into the carriage, Jiuzhu took off the treasure bag hanging on his waist and put it in the hands of King Chen: "This amulet has been enshrined in front of the statue for many days, and it is blessed by the golden light every day. May it bless His Highness well and well. Luck, no evil will invade."
"This is... your return gift to this king?" King Chen looked at this small sachet, with a faint smell of incense on it.
Jiuzhu smiled and shook her head and nodded. This amulet was enshrined in front of the statue by her own hands when she was eight years old, and she recited the golden light divine mantra every day until she entered the capital before she took it off the tribute table.
The capital is too big, she doesn't know when she will be able to meet her benefactor, so she keeps it in the house. It was not until she recognized King Chen that day that she took the amulet on her body so that she could give it to him the next time she met again.
The master said that all living beings are like one, the way of heaven does nothing, the way of the law is natural, and life and death are all by themselves and not by gods. But sincerity is the spirit, and everything goes according to the heart.
"Then I'll take it." Putting the kit into his arms, King Chen got on his horse and said, "Let's go, this king will take you home."
He was still a little worried about letting her go back in the carriage alone. It wasn't because he liked to meddle in his own business, but mainly because he was worried that the little girl was not very good and would be abducted by the bad guys.
The prince-sized carriage was spacious and luxurious. Jiuzhu was lying on the window, tilting her head to look at King Chen on horseback.
When King Chen looked at her for the first time, she was looking at him.
The second time she looked at her, she was still looking at him.
The third time, he couldn't help but ask, "You keep looking at what I do, do you think this king is better than Pan An, and his face is better than Guanyu."
"Yeah." Jiuzhu nodded, "His Royal Highness looks good."
Even if the immortal descended to the world, it was nothing more than that.
King Chen stopped starting, and stopped looking at Jiuzhu.
This, this little girl is really not reserved at all.
In the Mingyue Palace, Concubine Su Gui looked at her son who came to eat dinner, and said to Emperor Longfeng, "It seems that the Yue family did not keep him for dinner in the future."
Emperor Longfeng shook his head with a light smile.
"My son is just taking the little girl home by the way. What kind of dinner is there?" King Chen waved back the maid who served him the dishes, and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the dishes himself: "As a prince, if you eat at a foreign minister's house, after the news spreads, others will I thought I cared more about their family."
"Oh?" Emperor Longfeng scooped the soup with his own hands and placed it in front of Concubine Su, and when Concubine Su fed him a spoonful of soup, he looked up at King Chen: "I thought you were leading a horse for the Ming family again this afternoon, Picking a horse for someone is to have a good impression on them."
"She is a 15- or 16-year-old yellow-haired girl who doesn't understand anything, so she doesn't like anything." King Chen continued to put food in the bowl: "She's here, so she can't be thrown aside. It makes me cry, cry, and chirp, and I have to bother to coax it, what a hassle."
"I've seen the girl from the Ming family. She doesn't seem to be crying." Concubine Su glanced at her son's bowl: "Du Qing, didn't you hate this dish in the past?"
Only then did King Chen notice what he had clipped in just now, closed his eyes and shoved the thing into his mouth, and calmly said: "In the past, men were fickle."
After a few mouthfuls of food, King Chen stood up and said, "Imperial father, concubine mother, and this son and minister retire."
Su Guifei sighed: "Du Qing's temperament is really worrying."
Emperor Longfeng bowed his head to eat and didn't answer. When a woman talks about her child's shortcomings, a man just needs to listen quietly or find reasons to praise the child, and he must not go along with it, lest the bad times will be the man himself.
With Duqing's usual character, when have you ever checked whether a girl will cry? When he saw a crying woman, he didn't say go to coax him, he was afraid that he would be annoyed to even take a second look.
Sure enough, the people who understand men best are always men.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang." An eunuch walked in hastily, his face pale.
"What's the matter?" Emperor Longfeng put down the chopsticks in his hand.
The eunuch knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling with fear: "Tai Pu Siqing hurriedly played, a few tribute horses who have entered the racecourse suddenly burst into madness, biting and trampling each other, and died an hour ago. ."
The smile on Emperor Longfeng's face suddenly disappeared without a trace: "You mean, the Royal Racecourse that my son went to this afternoon?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch trembled even more, but did not dare to hide: "These horses are the fierce horses chosen by His Royal Highness King Chen. His Highness was going to the racecourse to train horses today, because he happened to meet Miss Ming's on the way. , to accompany her on horseback and pick a horse, so this matter was delayed."
When King Chen was training his horse, he didn't like other people's help. If it wasn't for the delay, no one dared to think about what would happen.
"Check." Emperor Longfeng's face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of chills: "I will pass on my will, and the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment will thoroughly investigate the matter of the royal horse farm, and will never let anyone suspicious!"
"What happened today?" Sun Caiyao didn't sleep well all night. She remembered that in her dream, the news of King Chen's death came out at this time.
"No." Seeing Sun Caiyao's haggard face, the maid asked worriedly, "Miss didn't sleep well last night?"
"Nothing really happened?!" Sun Caiyao asked reluctantly.
"Slave, slaves have never heard of it." The maid was frightened by Sun Caiyao's appearance: "Miss, don't worry, slaves will go and find out."
"No need." Sun Caiyao shook her head in a trance, "No need..."
Is that dream fake
King Chen won't die, and King Qi won't stand out among the princes
No, no, if the dream is false, why would Ming Jiuzhu appear
There must be something wrong. Yes, there must be an accident somewhere!
"Miss." A maid ran into the house: "Something happened."
"Come on!" The rouge box was accidentally knocked over by Sun Caiyao, and splashed on the floor, red as blood.
"A group of tribute horses that just came in, suddenly died suddenly, which made His Majesty furious, and ordered a thorough investigation." The maid lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "According to rumors, one of the horses in this batch of horses was killed by Chen. The king liked it, but he was delayed by other things halfway, so he didn't go to ride. Your Majesty is so angry, presumably because of this."
Sun Caiyao's forehead buzzed.
It is so, it is so...
There was an accident at the Royal Racecourse. Except for King Chen, the other adult princes were very nervous, fearing that they would be implicated, and those who were less timid would not even go out.
Even Ming Cunfu, who only read the book of sages, knew about it. He walked into the gate of the third uncle's house, stepped into the main courtyard, and saw his cousin strolling in the courtyard with a big white dog.
"When did my sister have a dog?" Ming Cunfu said casually: "The coat is bright and the spirit is very good."
"Sixth brother, this is not a dog, it's a little white horse." Jiuzhu led the horse to Ming Cunfu and let him see it more clearly, "Look, how cute it is."
Ming Cunfu looked at this fluffy horse that looked like a puppy, but for a while he didn't know how to speak.
Which serious horse looks so cowardly.
"Look... it's a bit cute, where did my sister get it?" I still have to praise the little animals that my sister likes.
"It was given to me by His Royal Highness King Chen." Jiu Zhu bent over and hugged the little white horse's neck, rubbing the little white horse's ear affectionately.
Seeing that Jiuzhu likes this horse very much, Ming Cunfu said insincerely, "His Royal Highness King Chen is really attentive."
Bah, riding a sweaty and bloody BMW, but giving them a beaded pony, what kind of digging it is!
"His Royal Highness Chen is very good!"
Ming Cunfu was silent again, and it took a long time to calm down: "Why did King Chen send you a horse?"
My sister obviously can't ride a horse.
"His Royal Highness invited me to play at the Royal Racecourse. I said I liked the little white horse, so he chose the cutest one." Jiuzhu stroked the pony's head, and the pony let her pet it meekly.
"Royal Racecourse?" Ming Cunfu changed his face: "When did you and His Highness go to the Royal Racecourse?"
"Yesterday afternoon." Jiuzhu saw that Ming Cunfu's face was not right: "What's wrong?"
"No wonder Your Majesty is so angry..." Ming Cunfu was about to explain to Jiuzhu when he heard a report from the concierge that Liu Zhongbao, the head of the house, was ordered to pay a courtesy visit.
The eunuch Liu Zhongbao next to His Majesty? This big inner chief, but he hasn't done errands for a long time.
Ming Cunfu's heart tightened: "We welcome you at the front door, and quickly go and invite the third aunt to preside over the overall situation."
Jiuzhu and Ming Cunfu looked at each other, handed the pony over to the servants, tidied up their clothes and went out to welcome the guests.
Ming Cunfu followed behind Jiuzhu and was worried. If such a big incident happened at the racecourse, I wonder if my sister would be implicated
