"Really?" Gu Qianxue was surprised.
If it was in the past, with Princess Yong'an's short-tempered temper, she might have been whipped away, but today she seems to be in a good mood, she just smiled and said, "I recognize you as a righteous daughter, so I naturally have to fulfill some obligations. Nanyue has always attached great importance to riding and archery, and even established the tradition of royal hunting, if you are not good at archery and hunting, it’s fine, if you say you don’t know how to ride a horse, you will be ridiculed.”
Gu Qianxue nodded, "The eldest princess is right, Qianxue listens to the eldest princess in everything, when shall we start?"
Concubine Qin smiled and said, "There are still ten days before the New Year, what are you in a hurry for?"
Gu Qianxue was naturally anxious, "Your Majesty laughed, Qianxue is stupid, there is a saying that stupid birds fly first."
To be honest, Gu Qianxue is very concerned about riding skills. The ancient riding technique is like a modern driver's license, it looks inconspicuous, but it is indispensable in an emergency.
"You're still very self-aware." Princess Yong'an said to Gu Qianxue with a smile while holding her horsewhip and crossing her arms.
"..." Gu Qianxue sighed, could this sister and nephew be her destiny? "So when do we start? Do I use riding gear?"
Concubine Qin said, "Don't worry about this, your stepmother has already prepared it for you." Then, she motioned to the maid, who immediately opened the box beside her and took out a hibiscus-colored double-breasted bunt riding jacket. Its style is simple and elegant, but if you look closely, the cuffs, neckline and belt are embroidered with floral flowers with vermilion silk thread, which makes the neutral clothes look soft and charming. posture.
This dress is the one that Gu Qianxue saw the most when she came to Nanyue Country, and it was none of them.
In the past, no matter how beautiful the clothes were, they were all kept in the deep boudoir. They couldn't be picked or carried. Even if they took a long step, the layers of skirts would be a burden. And although Gu Qianxue has the body of a young lady, she doesn't have the life of a young lady. She bumps around and is beaten and scolded by others. After a long time, she doesn't like this kind of fancy dress anymore.
Princess Yong'an saw through Gu Qianxue's thoughts at a glance, and poured cold water on her coolly, "This dress can only be worn in the hunting ground. If you walk outside, it would be immoral." After all, a woman's legs cannot be peeped by outsiders. Even wearing pants is not good.
Except for peasant women.
Gu Qianxue glanced at Princess Yong'an sadly, and said with her eyes - if you don't hit me for a day, are you unhappy
Seeing the exchange between the two, Concubine Qin laughed so hard that she felt that these two were her happy fruit, and with these two in front of her, there were no worries.
It's okay if you don't look at it, but you are shocked when you look at it, "Princess, when did you become so thin?" Before the princess Yong'an was wearing layers of palace clothes, and it was winter, although it could be seen that she had lost weight successfully, but Today I found out that the eldest princess is already very thin after wearing shorts!
The eldest princess's thinness is neither skinny nor weak, but a kind of slenderness, a kind of bodybuilding, and she is taller than ordinary men. Wearing a unique horse riding suit, she looks like a catwalk model. feel. Especially a pair of legs, straight and thin.
Princess Yong'an couldn't help frowning, "It happened before I knew it, Gu Qianxue, what are you doing staring at Ben Gong's legs?"
Gu Qianxue was almost drooling, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her lower lip, "Let's play for the New Year."
"What?" Everyone was puzzled as to what kind of word it was.
Gu Qianxue hurriedly explained, "It's nothing, the eldest princess's legs are so beautiful, she should always wear trousers, which is both handsome and feminine."
Princess Yong'an lightly touched Gu Qianxue's forehead with a whip, "Gu Qianxue, are you stupid? How can a woman's legs be seen by outsiders? Stop talking nonsense, go change clothes and go to the racetrack, the third princess is waiting for you!" People have already gone, if you can't even ride a horse when hunting, some people will laugh at you." The identity of some people does not need to be revealed.
Gu Qianxue agreed, took the riding outfit and went to change immediately.
After the people left, Concubine Qin and Princess Yong'an looked at each other and smiled, then found a topic at random and started chatting.
Shaoqing.
Gu Qianxue came out from behind the screen and put on her riding attire.
Without the layered and complicated skirts, Gu Qianxue only felt that walking was much lighter. This was the first time she was so obsessed with trousers. In the past, in modern times, she obviously had no chance to wear skirts and cherished every opportunity to wear skirts.
"That's right, the heroic appearance." Concubine Qin did not hesitate to praise her.
"Thank you, Concubine Qin, the eldest princess's clothes look good." Gu Qianxue also thought that she was handsome in riding clothes, but she had to be humble no matter what.
"Of course, this set of clothes cost me two hundred taels of silver, even if you hang the broken silver on your body, it still looks good." Princess Yong'an said.
"..." Gu Qianxue wanted to cry without tears. The purpose of this aunt and nephew's existence is to hit her, right? Although she felt a little upset, she knew in her heart that if she encountered any danger, the aunt and nephew would be the first to protect her.
This world is so weird, those who treat people with sweet mouths and gentleness are mostly honey swords; while those who don't give people any face at all may be sweet-hearted.
"Okay, then next time, please ask Your Highness the eldest princess to give Qianxue some money, and Qianxue will hang it on her body to show you." Gu Qianxue said shamelessly, if the eldest princess really gave her money, she would take it. Is there anyone in this world who thinks he has too much money?
On the other hand, Concubine Qin privately warned Princess Yong'an to be more gentle. She regretted what she said just now, and seeing that Gu Qianxue didn't care now, she felt relieved. "Okay, that's it. I'll send you a box later."
"Then Qianxue will thank Her Royal Highness the Princess in advance." Thinking of being able to collect money, Gu Qianxue felt a little more balanced.
Concubine Qin said, "Okay, don't be poor both of you mother and daughter, go to the racetrack, the emperor will go to court in a while, maybe go and have a look." Call the maid to bring some teapots, water cups and handkerchiefs The ointment and other sundries, the eunuch ran to lead the horse, and all the people headed towards the racetrack.
The racecourse in the palace is located in the northwest of the harem, which looks like a modern sports field. There is a circle around the runway, and there are stone benches and tables for rest in the middle. However, the square in the middle is also very wide and can be used as a place for teaching. Now the three princesses, the fourth princess and the fifth princess, as well as the fifth prince and the sixth prince occupy the space respectively. A site where he was taught to shoot and hunt by a professional riding and archery master.
Not far from the racecourse, there is a small pavilion. There are many women in the harem sitting in the pavilion. While watching the princes and princesses learning how to ride and shoot, cheering them up, they chatted. After all, the harem is really boring, so they found a gimmick to gather It's not easy to be together, even if you don't have a few sincere words, it's good to pass the time.
Seeing Gu Qianxue coming, all the princes and princesses ran over, as if they were his pursuers.
