The scenery of Nanyuan is very different from that of Beijing, and it is a kind of vast and boundless beauty.
The endless plains, lakes and pools can be seen from time to time, which makes people feel refreshed.
Pan'er was so frightened that she tightly grasped Zong Cong's clothes, her back firmly pressed against his chest. Without him, a person who doesn't know how to ride a horse runs out at such a fast speed, and she sits in front again, one can imagine the feeling.
"You, you run slowly..."
The wind shattered her voice, and Pan'er felt his chest vibrate slightly, and then realized that he was smiling, and became a little angry from embarrassment.
"why are you laughing!"
He didn't speak, and stopped in front of a water bubble.
"Why don't I teach you how to ride a horse? Wanrong knows how to ride a horse."
The first sentence is okay, but the second sentence is wrong. Are you laughing at her
"There are many women in Beijing who can't ride horses, and I'm not the only one!" She clamored to get off, but Zong Cong had no choice but to get off the horse first, and then reached out to hug her off the horse.
His mount was a silver-gray horse, very strong and tall, and Pan'er had to turn from a straddle to sideways for Zong Cong to catch him. But she didn't feel it when she got on the horse. When she got off the horse, she looked at the height below and the horse stamped its hooves from time to time, so she didn't dare to move.
Zong Cong pretended not to see, but stretched out his hand to make her turn sideways, he was sure to catch her, and Pan'er tightly grasped the saddle, not daring to move. I wanted to hint to him that I didn't dare, but it was in the way of face, so I was so stalemate.
"You hold on to the saddle and bring that leg over, it won't fall off."
The anger in Pan'er's heart swelled and vented, and she simply closed her eyes and raised one leg. But when she raised her legs, she clearly felt the horse move, and she felt unsteady for a while, and hurriedly wanted to sit still, but it was too late.
She felt that she was falling, so she could only close her eyes and suppress the scream in her throat.
She fell into a firm embrace.
When I opened my eyes, I saw him smiling: "I told you I'm fine, and you're not tall, why haven't I seen you so timid?"
She didn't speak, she stepped on the ground and became more courageous. She came out of his arms and said angrily, "Whoever told you to scare me on purpose, you did it on purpose."
He smiled even brighter.
Under the warm sun, his cheeks were covered with a fine layer of broken gold, faintly glowing.
"How did I know that you are so timid? You are usually very courageous. You should practice more, otherwise you will only be able to watch from the sidelines in a few days of spring hunting."
"I was going to watch from the sidelines."
"That's so boring." He flicked his horsewhip and said with a smile.
At this time, the guards from the brigade followed, but they didn't dare to approach, and stopped not far away.
"How about this? I will teach you how to ride a horse?"
"Not learn."
"How can you go back if you don't learn to wait?"
Pan'er was taken aback, this was a problem, she looked hesitantly at the horse beside her.
"My chasing wind has never been ridden by others. It is very docile and will not move around. In fact, you feel tall when you sit on a horse, but you don't feel tall when you look from below. It's just that people who have never ridden a horse will I think so."
"I still don't study."
Zong Cong raised his eyebrows and glanced at her: "I'm just suggesting that, if you don't learn it, don't learn it."
When the guards over there saw wild ducks in the water bubble, some people were unwilling to be lonely and wanted to take some of them back to drink. When they were far away, they saw a few people spreading out. stand up.
Fu Lu also came out this time, standing aside to watch, Zong Cong also looked over.
As he watched, he felt someone tugging on his sleeve.
"Then how about I try?"
Zong Cong laughed, why didn't he realize that she had such a side before.
It was rare for him to be in a leisurely mood today, so he took Pan'er to the side of Zhuifeng, and started teaching from getting on and off the horse.
On the other side of Shui Paozi, the guards could faintly see the scene here.
The first guard sighed a little: "I didn't see it, long live us... Lord is still such a compassionate person."
Guard B said: "If I give you a beauty like an imperial concubine, I'm sure you'll feel sorry for her."
The guard B said: "Actually, there are no empresses in the palace who look better than the imperial concubine. It's strange that our Long Live Lord dotes on the imperial concubine. It's been so many years."
Since he can say such words, it is obvious that he used to be an old man from the Eastern Palace. In fact, most of the guards here are old men from the Eastern Palace.
"Go to my side, I'm going to start talking like women."
The few guards who were talking nonsense immediately dispersed.
…
"You have to relax, don't clamp the horse's belly with your legs, if you clamp the horse's belly, it will think you are driving it forward... Lean forward slightly, but relax, hold the rein tightly, but not too tight..."
In fact, it is not that Pan'er is really timid, it is that women and Taoists inevitably have a subconscious fear of giants like horses, especially when riding on horses.
But she was mentally prepared, and Zong Cong was watching from the side, leading the horse for her. She was not so afraid, and she would be able to ride alone on the horse in a short while, and let Zong Cong lead the horse around. Walk around a few times.
She felt more and more on her side, and seemed to finally feel the joy of riding a horse, but Zong Cong had already led her around the area a dozen times.
This is probably the first time Zong Cong has led a horse.
"Do you want to try to run two steps?"
She looked at him with bright eyes, a little eager to try, but also a little timid.
"I'll take you to find the feeling."
As he spoke, he helped the saddle up. This time, Pan'er already knew what posture and state to maintain while sitting on the horse, so he was not as nervous as before.
"Look at my hand." He shook the reins, and lightly clamped down on the horse's belly, Zhuifeng started to walk in small steps, first walking, then trotting, trotting for a while, the speed became faster and faster.
The wind rushed towards me.
Although Pan'er was still nervous, she could already feel the exhilaration of riding a horse.
She couldn't help looking at him distractedly, and saw that he was focused, with his back and shoulders straight, and she was leaning in his arms, as if she didn't have to worry about anything.
"See what I'm doing?" he asked distractedly.
"It depends on how handsome your Majesty is."
His chest trembled slightly, the horse slowed down a bit, and when he looked down and saw her flushed cheeks, with a particularly shy look, he couldn't help but feel a little swayed.
The hands around her waist couldn't help tightening, and said: "Don't you always call me old."
"There is no conflict between Lao and Jun. Besides, people say you are old, but they don't really say you are old. They just don't want you to spend all day on government affairs, forgetting to eat and sleep."
"Well, I understand this to mean that you feel that I have neglected you, and I will spend more time with you in the future, come to Nanyuan for spring hunting in spring, and go to Xiyuan to escape the heat in summer."
"What about autumn and winter?" She smiled slyly.
Zong Cong was stunned for a moment, thought about it seriously, and then said: "Forget it in autumn, things are so busy in autumn. In winter, I remember that there is a Huangzhuang in the suburbs of Beijing, and there is a spring in it. Another day, let someone repair the palace. I will take you there in winter." Soup spring."
"The practice palace costs money, let's talk about it when the court has money, and if this matter is known to outsiders, what will happen to me?"
"Become a demon concubine who will bring disaster to the country and the people."
As he said that, he laughed, Pan'er refused to obey him, and went to grab his skirt.
Pulling and pulling, the two got closer.
At some point, Chasing Wind stopped.
Pan'er woke up, blushed instantly, and looked around, but luckily there was no one around. There was a small group of guards not far behind, but with Zong Cong blocking it, it is hard to see what they did just now.
"Go back." She whispered.
Zong Cong looked down at her with a smile, and made Zhuifeng turn around.
On the way back, I met King Yue. King Yue took Princess Yue with him. Both of them were wearing riding clothes. Seems good.
This made Pan'er look sideways. She hadn't forgotten Princess Yue's haggard and pale appearance at the time, and she asked her for a solution. Could it be that the problem has been solved
King Yue dismounted from his horse, and Qi Shi followed suit.
The two approached, saluted and said: "See the emperor brother, see the imperial concubine."
Only then did Pan'er realize that she was still riding with Zong Cong, and secretly poked Zong Cong's waist with his hand. Zong Cong got off the horse knowingly, and hugged her off the horse again.
It was only then that Pan'er realized that she didn't dare to get off the horse just now, and he obviously had a solution, and he deliberately forced her to jump off.
But this is definitely not the time to denounce, she pretended to be dignified and nodded to the Yue Wang couple, and went to stand aside, leaving room for Yue Wang and Zong Cong to talk.
Qi also followed.
The two stood and looked at the wild ducks and geese in the water bubble not far away, Qi suddenly said: "Thank you, Imperial Concubine."
"Where does this thank you come from?"
Mrs. Qi glanced at King Yue, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, my concubine and the prince are now in a good relationship, side concubine Guo can't make any troubles, and the children are becoming more and more cheerful, all thanks to Empress's hint at the beginning."
This is a bit serious, Pan'er recalled what she said to Qi at the time, and she even had a tantrum with Zong Cong just because of this matter.
Could it be that Qi really did what she said
If you don't love...
Can-
She looked at Qi Shi in shock, and her mood fluctuated for a while, which was very complicated.
Qi seemed to see that she was surprised, and smiled slightly: "Not everyone can be as lucky as your majesty. For so many years, your majesty has always treated you as before, treating others as nothing. Just like your majesty said, when you don't care so much Now, you can calm yourself down and think calmly about what kind of person he likes you. He likes to be dignified and magnanimous, and he likes occasional small things...
"When I really calmed down, I found out that Concubine Guo was not as difficult to deal with as I imagined. She just deliberately provoked me and provoked me to behave indifferently in front of the prince, so as to provoke the prince to treat me. Resentment and disgust, I only believed what she said, when I stopped panicking and calmed down, I realized that she was actually a clown, vulnerable."
"Then you..." Pan'er's eyes were complicated, and he didn't know what to say.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with this. My lord is good, my children are good, and I'm fine too. My lord doesn't go to her room now. It's just that I'm sometimes confused. Is the me he likes real or fake? Me." At the end, Qi's voice dropped.
So I still care, just force myself not to care, so that I won't feel distressed or go crazy.
In her previous life, Pan'er had never experienced what happened to Qi Shi, but she had also been confused about whether the person he liked was really her. So she was flustered and timid, and didn't dare to take a step. Until she lived a new life, without the burden of the previous life, she gradually let go of herself and revealed her true nature to him little by little.
He accepted it well, even surpassing her imagination, and the hearts of the two became closer and closer, and even gradually removed the barrier between the emperor and the concubine, instead of worrying about what he said or did, he would be furious and worried. He is suspicious. This used to be a headache for her, because it was a subconscious habit she had brought over from her previous life for decades, but after more than ten years, it seemed that this barrier had gradually disappeared unconsciously.
"Since you are confused, leave your confusion to time."
Qi was taken aback for a moment, puzzled in his eyes.
"Maybe time will tell you the answer."
Pan'er can only say this, after all, it's good now, so why bother to investigate why it's good. And her experience cannot be replicated, she can only sincerely hope that one day Qi Shi can be like her, and get rid of the happy knot with the King of Yue, so that they can be regarded as a real husband and wife.
These thoughts did not confuse Pan'er for too long, because King Yue and Zong Cong had already finished speaking and came to look for Qi Shi.
The two said goodbye to Pan'er, and took each other to the place where the horses were parked. When Qi Shi got on the horse, the King of Yue watched beside him, and even stretched out his hand to help her. His demeanor showed care, and Qi Shi It's not long since I just learned horses.
As for who taught it, it goes without saying that it was the King of Yue.
When walking back, Pan'er still felt very sighed. …
Sensing her emotions, Zong Cong asked, "What did you say to Princess Yue just now?"
"I didn't say anything, I just said that Princess Yue is doing well recently, the house is calm and peaceful, and the relationship with King Yue is getting better day by day."
Anyway, Zong Cong had the same thinking as Pan Er at a certain time, and he also thought of what he heard Yuanyuan and Princess Yue say that day.
"You say that you men are sometimes really strange. We are also very tired as women, and we have to smooth our hair."
"Are you talking about husband control?"
"Is it the art of controlling husbands? Could it be that Your Majesty is praising me for my skills in controlling husbands?" She smiled and looked back at him.
He stared at her, and finally bit her lips for a long while, and leaning against her lips, he said: "In the future, don't hide anything from me, just say what you want to say, and don't play tricks on controlling your wife. "
Pan'er's mouth was blocked, and he couldn't speak clearly until he let go, and then hummed.
When he turned his head, his face was smiling.
Man.
