It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Chapter 23: startled

Views:

Tang Shishi angrily walked to the side of the horse, and she quietly looked back to the other side by combing her mane.

Zhao Zixun was teaching Zhou Shunhua how to ride, and he was teaching her how to control the reins. Later, Zhou Shunhua couldn't step on the stirrups, so Zhao Zixun held her waist, half dragging her on the ground and taking her up.

Nonsence!

Tang Shishi snorted angrily in his heart, stepped on the stirrup with anger, and stepped on the horse with a swipe. When she sat on the horse, she was still thinking, look at her, her movements are neat, her legs are straight, there is no stooping and no arching, and her demeanor is perfect.

She may not be able to ride a horse, but her posture must be good-looking. Tang Shishi deliberately performed his beautiful movements, but unfortunately Zhao Zixun was still comforting Zhou Shunhua, who did not dare to straighten his waist, and did not look in her direction at all.

Tang Shishi was so angry that he kept pulling the reins. Now that everyone on the grass field was moving, it seemed strange for her to stop here. Tang Shishi could only let go of the reins and let Ma Xiaobu move forward, trying to "inadvertently" walk to Zhao Zixun's side.

Tang Shishi secretly calculated the distance, but he did not expect that when he was halfway there, there was a sound of horse hooves behind him. A young man with a dirty face and inexplicably large clothes walked up to Tang Shishi, looked at Tang Shishi from top to bottom rudely, and said, "You are the beauty they say? I don't think so. "

Tang Shishi let out a sigh and chuckled, "Are you a man?"

The skinny boy tensed up and asked, "What do you mean?"

"As long as a man is a man, he will never have such an idea." Tang Shishi casually fluffed his loose hair, raised his neck and said, "Obviously, I have a beautiful appearance and a slender figure, and I am the most well-deserved beauty on the field. "

The young man snorted heavily and said disdainfully, "It's just you?"

Without warning, the boy whipped Tang Shishi's horse's butt, and the horse under Tang Shishi's seat neighed and rushed forward quickly.

Tang Shishi was leaned back by the inertial belt and almost fell off the horse's back. Tang Shishi panicked, and immediately carried forward her fine traditions from childhood to adulthood. If she is unlucky, she will be held back!

Tang Shishi didn't even have time to sit down, and his first reaction was to whip the boy at the boy's side. Because of the location, Tang Shishi's whip hit the horse's eyes. This time he stabbed the big basket, and the horse whimpered and ran around in pain.

Both horses were startled, but the boy's side was especially bad. His horse was invisible and ran on instinct, extremely dangerous. The boy screamed and grabbed the horse's mane tightly.

This voice... Tang Shishi was surprised, why is this young man's voice so shrill? Is he a eunuch

It's a pity that Tang Shishi has no time to think about the youth. Although her horse is docile, it is not without temper. The boy's whip was especially hard, and the mare was frightened and galloped across the grassland at full speed.

Tang Shishi just learned to ride horses this afternoon. She can jog with small steps on a horse, but she can't control the more intense exercise. Tang Shishi even felt that his arms were starting to soften, and he was about to lose his mane and fall off.

Zhao Chengjun was showing his mount to Anji Timur when he suddenly heard the neighing of the horses behind him. Immediately afterwards, another horse also heard a painful chirping.

Zhao Chengjun turned back and saw that Tang Shishi's horse was out of control, and she was bouncing from side to side on the horse, as if she was about to fall anytime, anywhere. Not far away, a thin young man was also startled.

The two horses were running in different directions, and both were in dangerous condition. Zhao Chengjun's expression changed, and before he had time to explain, he turned over and straddled Jiaxue, and galloped forward.

Jiao Xue is a war horse, and has experienced many battles with Zhao Chengjun, and has long been in sympathy with his master. After Zhao Chengjun rode up, he didn't need any orders, and Jiaoxue ran forward at full speed. Jiaoxue passed by many people, and when he passed Zhao Zixun, Zhao Chengjun said very quickly, "Go and save Naren Toya."

Zhao Zixun was about to set off, but when he heard Zhao Chengjun's voice, he restrained his horse abruptly, quickly glanced in the direction of Tang Shishi, and turned around silently.

Zhao Chengjun quickly caught up with Tang Shishi, he controlled Jiaoxue's speed, and marched in parallel with Tang Shishi's horse. Zhao Chengjun said to Tang Shishi, "Release the reins."

"No." Tang Shishi thought that Zhao Chengjun had asked her to jump on the horse, and clenched her mane more and more tightly, "Falling down will hurt my face!"

It's been a while, still thinking about his face. Zhao Chengjun was helpless and drove Jiaoxue closer to Tang Shishi, saying, "Let go of it and give me your hand."

It was very dangerous for the two horses to be too close together. Tang Shishi's arm was sore that she lost consciousness. She only felt that the horse under her raised her forelimbs and neighed hard. Tang Shishi could no longer hold the mane and fell backwards. Time seemed to slow down when she was weightless. Tang Shishi clearly felt herself falling backwards. She could imagine that when she fell, the back of her head must have hit the ground.

There was a sudden burst of force from her arm, and then, her waist was wrapped around, completely taking her to another direction. Tang Shishi was put on the horse and completely lost his response. She could only feel that the arms around her waist were extremely strong, as impenetrable as iron.

Zhao Chengjun carried Tang Shishi to his horse, immediately held the reins, and controlled Jiaoxue to turn around. If the two horses are too close, they will affect each other. If they are not careful, Jiaoxue will also be frightened.

Fortunately, Zhao Chengjun's horse riding skills were excellent, Jiaoxue turned a corner and ran fast on the grass, and his mood quickly stabilized. Jiaoxue's speed was very fast, Tang Shishi was still in shock, and he was so scared that he was stiff.

Zhao Chengjun felt that Tang Shishi was too frightened to move, and asked, "Didn't you say you can ride a horse?"

"I'm just talking about it." Tang Shishi closed his eyes, and regardless of what was behind him, he firmly buried himself in the back, "My lord, can you slow down?"

Zhao Chengjun could only control Jiaoxue to slow down slowly. Tang Shishi clenched Zhao Chengjun's sleeve tightly. Zhao Chengjun was inconvenient to move. He didn't pull it out a few times. He could only helplessly say: "Okay, it's stopped, you can open your eyes."

Tang Shishi slowly opened his eyes and found that it was indeed safe. Jiaoxue stepped smoothly through the green grass, and the cool and comfortable evening wind blew her hair flying everywhere.

Tang Shishi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Immediately afterwards, she found that she was clutching someone's clothes tightly, and the fabric looked very familiar. Tang Shishi was stunned for a moment, reacted suddenly, and hurriedly let go: "My lord forgive me, I didn't mean it."

Later, Tang Shishi realized that she was now leaning on King Jing, and she had been leaning on it for a long time. Tang Shishi's whole body was stiff, she didn't dare to continue to use strength or move away, she could only try to straighten her back and keep a distance from Zhao Chengjun.

Zhao Chengjun didn't pay attention to Tang Shishi's movements now. He stared at the front. Tang Shishi noticed his line of sight, followed him, and found that Zhao Zixun was saving another person. Zhao Zixun's horse riding skills were not as good as Zhao Chengjun's, so he couldn't save the boy to his horse. Seeing that the boy was about to fall, Zhao Zixun hugged her violently, using his own body as a buffer, and rolled on the gentle slope for a long time.

Tang Shishi was at a loss with grievances, why did the prince save this young man? They were shocked at the same time, the prince would rather choose a man than her

I can't think about it, the more I think about it, the more sad it becomes.

Tang Shishi felt uncomfortable, she immediately turned her anger on other people, and hurriedly complained to Zhao Chengjun: "My lord, that person is plotting against me, he has no king's law, not only underestimates our court, but also underestimates you, King Jing. Lord, do you leave him alone?"

Zhao Chengjun laughed softly, and said leisurely behind his back: "I can't control it, that's Anji Timur's daughter. In our name, it should be a county master."

"Ok?"

Zhao Chengjun lowered his head and glanced at Tang Shishi, and said unhurriedly, "It's so obvious that she disguises herself as a man, you don't know that, right?"

Tang Shishi really didn't know. She was stunned for a long time and couldn't believe it: "So, is that a woman, or the daughter of King Zhongshun?"

Zhao Chengjun didn't speak, he led the horse and let Jiaoxue slow down in the grass and slowly paced to the other two. Zhao Zixun stood up from the ground and was asking in a low voice if Naren Toya was injured. Hearing the sound of hooves, Zhao Zixun raised his head and saluted Zhao Chengjun: "Father."

Narentoya didn't seem to have recovered from the shock. Her face was white and black, and it looked very funny, but her eyes were shining, especially when she looked at Zhao Zixun, looking forward to her posture, she almost glowed.

No one will be wrong this time. This skinny boy is actually a woman.

Naren Tuoya looked at Zhao Zixun and saluted, and realized it later, and said to Zhao Chengjun the etiquette of the North Court: "See King Jing. Thank you King Jing for sending someone to save me."

Zhao Chengjun sat on the horse, holding the reins loosely in his hand, and had no intention of dismounting to greet him: "It's within my share. However, the county master must be careful next time you ride a horse."

It was Tang Shishi's Ma who was startled first, and then Naren Toya's. Obviously, it was Naren Toya who provoked first, so it was entirely her own fault for her to fall into this situation.

If it weren't for Beiting, Zhao Chengjun would not care about this arrogant, mindless and reckless little girl. After Zhao Chengjun finished speaking, he pulled the reins and wanted to go back.

Tang Shishi looked at Zhao Zixun who sacrificed his life to save the beauty, and then looked at Naren Toya, who had a sprouting face, and a sense of crisis emerged spontaneously. Could it be that this is her rival

My God, Tang Shishi can't even handle Zhou Shunhua. If there is another foreign princess, how will she fight

Tang Shishi is full of hostility towards Naren Toya. She didn't like the culprit who made her startled, but now that she is still a rival in love, how could Tang Shishi have a good face? Tang Shishi found that there was only one horse left on the grass, but there were two Naren Toya and Zhao Zixun. It was very likely that Zhao Zixun was going to take Naren Toya back.

How can this work! Tang Shishi immediately became excited and said, "My lord, thank you for saving me. The little girl doesn't dare to trouble you any more, please put me down."

"Okay." Zhao Chengjun responded lightly and said, "Then go back by yourself."

Tang Shishi looked at the endless grass in front of him, and then looked back at Naren Toya, who was already on the horse, and immediately said obediently: "Thank you, Lord."

On the return journey, Zhao Chengjun seemed to be taking care of Tang Shishi, and the speed was not fast. After he reached the meadow, a group of people immediately surrounded him, Zhao Chengjun dismounted and handed the reins to his men. Tang Shishi sat on the horse and jumped down following Zhao Chengjun.

I have to say that what beautiful women do is pleasing to the eye, especially the movement of Tang Shishi's dismounting, which has been deliberately practiced. After Tang Shishi stood up, she found many people looking at her and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Chengjun turned back, ignored Tang Shishi's words, and continued to explain the matter of taking care of Jiaoxue. At this time, Zhao Zixun also brought Naren Toya back. As soon as the two of them approached, Anji Timur quickly walked up to meet him: "Naya!"

"Father Khan!" Naren Toya jumped off the horse and threw herself into Anji Timur's arms. Anji Timur asked for a while before taking his daughter to Zhao Chengjun's side and thanked Zhao Chengjun: "Thank you King Jing for rescuing him. Naya, this child is disobedient, which makes King Jing laugh."

Zhao Chengjun smiled and said, "It's okay. Next time, please don't do this kind of harm to others and yourself again."

Others will spoil Naren Toya, but not Zhao Chengjun. Zhao Chengjun made no secret of his dissatisfaction with Naren Toya, who stuck out her tongue and hid behind her father.

She turned her eyes to the back and saw Zhao Zixun not far away. Naren Toya thought to herself, this prince is indifferent and strict, but the son he gave birth to is likable.

In the evening, the camp held a bonfire banquet to welcome guests from the North Court from afar. Tang Shishi changed her clothes. When she arrived at the banquet, she found that Naren Toya was already there. Naren Toya changed into women's clothes and re-combed her hair. She dressed as a man during the day, but when she changed into a woman's clothes, she turned out to be bright and beautiful.

At this moment, Zhao Chengjun has not come, Zhao Zixun has arrived early, and greeted Temur by the bonfire. Naren Toya showed an extremely strong affection for Zhao Zixun, which was almost inevitable. Relying on the convenience of her status, she surrounded Zhao Zixun, and the teasing in her words and deeds was undisguised.

Zhou Shunhua stood far away outside the fence, looking at that side with some absent-mindedness. Tang Shishi walked to the side and said softly, "He treats you differently. If you don't like it, why don't you stop it?"

"Me?" Zhou Shunhua sneered and said sarcastically, "What can I stop? It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Besides, she is the daughter of King Zhongshun, and I'm just an ordinary servant girl. What qualifications do I have for King Zhongshun? The county lord is pointing fingers?"

Tang Shishi didn't speak. After a while, he said softly: "Why not. She is the county owner, is it different?"

Tang Shishi has always felt that he should fight for what he wants. One's family is destined by God, but it is one's own choice to live a life.

Why should she let her go because she is the county lord and the daughter of the Beiting lord? Tang Shishi prefers to fight.

The people of the grasslands deserve to be good at singing and dancing. Naren Toya had no accompanying music, so she just danced improvisationally. When she was spinning, she didn't know if she didn't see it or she didn't control it, so she directly transferred to Zhao Zixun. Zhao Zixun took a step back and held Naren Toya's arm: "County Lord, be careful."

Naren Toya leaned on Zhao Zixun, raised her eyebrows and said, "Prince, what do you think of me compared to your Central Plains women?"

Zhao Zixun didn't dodge and said with a smile: "The county master is joking, both have their own merits and cannot be compared."

Naren Tuoya snorted and said, "You Han people are always so ambiguous in their speech, and you don't want to be happy. If you want me to tell you that women in the Central Plains don't go to the door, they will cry when they get stuck with needles, and they will talk to me. Like sheep, rigid and uninteresting."

Naren Toya said this very politely, but Zhao Zixun is a man, and it is not easy to compete with her. Hearing that, he just smiled: "Naturally, he is not as talented as the county master."

"Excuse me, I can't agree with what the county master said." While Zhao Zixun and Naren Toya were talking, Tang Shishi came. Tang Shishi was wearing a red dress, sassy and bright, extremely clear and bright, with a brilliant face against the firelight, there was an inviolable sense of majesty. But when I laugh, it is like spring flowers blooming in an instant.

Tang Shishi smiled and said, "Seeing is better than hearing a hundred things. Since the county master is curious about Han women, why should you let others evaluate it? Try it yourself and you will know. Princess Naren Toya, please enlighten me."
