Two days later, Manyue sent another post, inviting Mu Changan and Ling Jiaoyu to go hunting and horseback riding together. The girls in the desert are all good at riding and shooting, but the boudoir ladies in the Southern Jin Dynasty are rarely good at these things, except for the general's mansion. It is a family of generals, so everyone in the general's mansion is good at riding and shooting. Of course, besides Mu Chang'an, Ling Wanying is also good at riding and shooting.
In addition to the two, Ling Chuci and Tashi were also there, as well as King Qi Ye Jingheng.
This is the first time that Mu Changan has seen His Highness Prince Qi up close. His background is the lowest among the princes. His mother is a criminal slave in the Huanyi Bureau. He, and later his mother, was named Li Guiren, and she is still Li Guiren until now, without a trace of favor, if not for this son, he would have been forgotten long ago.
Ye Jingheng is very low-key, he is not active in the court, but lives a life like a wild crane, and has embarked on the road of a talented scholar. He is very proficient in painting and rhythm, and he also writes good calligraphy. He is the most artistically accomplished among the princes , with a gentle temperament, neither fighting nor grabbing, also gentle and elegant, with fair skin and a bookish aura on her body.
Mu Chang'an secretly took another look at Ye Jingheng. It is very rare to have such a talented person in the royal family.
At this time, Manyue led a horse and walked up to Mu Changan. She was wearing a dark red riding outfit, which made her look more and more heroic. General's Mansion, I think you are very good at riding and shooting, why don't you compete with me?"
Mu Changan was thinking about how to refuse, and Ling Chuci was going to block him for Mu Changan, when Ling Jiaoyu suddenly spoke, with a hint of arrogance in her tone, "Princess probably doesn't know the customs of our Southern Jin Dynasty. Concubine is not important, eldest sister was born as a concubine, although she can ride and shoot, but only if she rides without falling off, only a few brothers and I are good at riding and shooting in the general's mansion, if you want to compete in riding and shooting, I can accompany you, I hope the princess will not make things difficult Miss."
Mu Changan couldn't help but glanced at Ling Jiaoyu. This woman didn't forget to hurt her at this time. If it was normal, she would definitely retaliate. Today, for the sake of her dealing with Man Yue, she kept silent. It can be regarded as acquiescing to Ling Jiaoyu's words.
It can be seen that Ling Jiaoyu doesn't like Manyue either. Although Manyue said that she is in love with Ye Jingrong, Ye Jingrong has already rejected her face to face, and she may choose Ye Jingxun. She doesn't want anyone to be listed as a princess with her.
Although Man Yue is a princess, the desert is a barren place after all, so she looks down on Man Yue.
Ye Jingheng was also on the side. Ling Jiaoyu's contempt for the concubine made Ye Jingheng feel very uncomfortable. Because of his background, although he was a prince, many people never took their mother and child seriously, even his father He didn't even look at him more, he was not valued by anyone, not even his brothers looked down on him.
"Second Miss despises Eldest Miss so much, does she take Third Brother seriously? Speaking of which, this king and the elder brothers are all concubines. Could it be that we are not worth mentioning in the eyes of Second Miss?"
Ye Jingheng had a gentle voice, but the displeasure in his tone was obvious.
No one expected that Ye Jingheng would speak suddenly, Ling Jiaoyu knew that she shouldn't say this in front of Ye Jingheng, and immediately knelt down to plead guilty, "His Royal Highness, forgive me, my daughter didn't mean that, but the expression was wrong. "
It was only then that Mu Changan felt that this prince who seemed to have no desires and desires was actually very inferior to his birth, otherwise he would not be so sensitive to such words. In this society where birth determines bloodlines and status, birth is indeed very important. It may be that the mother is more expensive than the child, but in the beginning it must be the son that is more expensive than the mother.
"His Royal Highness Qi, Sister She also said unintentionally, and I hope His Highness King Qi will not care about Sister She."
Ye Jingheng felt that he had gone too far, and quickly restrained himself, as if nothing had happened, "I have no other intentions, Second Miss, get up!"
"Yes, it was the minister's daughter who made a slip of the tongue just now."
