proud wife and concubine

Although the severe winter is long, when the spring comes, people still lament that every year is fleeting.

Xiao Xueqiong changed out of the heavy cotton-padded fur and fur, and sat on a white horse in light riding attire. Pulled by Abi, she swayed slowly along the avenue of the imperial city.

"It's not so good when the sun comes out in the morning. It's raining now. I don't know if it will rain heavily." Xiao Xueqiong stretched out her hand, feeling the slight moistness in her palm, and she was worried.

"Don't worry, little aunt. As the saying goes, "spring rain is as expensive as oil", even if I hope it will be bigger, I'm afraid it won't happen. But it doesn't necessarily stop. It will probably float like this for a long time." Ah walking beside Zhu also led a fine horse. The horse's fur was slightly blue, but its face was white and shiny.

"That's good. It's not easy for my sister to be free. She promised to take me to ride a horse in the outskirts of the city. It would be a pity to be blocked by the wind and rain." Xiao Xueqiong said with a smile, facing the refreshing but not cold gust of wind, watching the cars passing by in a hurry Sedan, the mood is relaxed.

"Don't worry, the princess has already said that, in order to make your spring hunting fun, she will definitely teach you how to ride a horse." Abi replied with a smile.

"Yeah!" Xiao Xueqiong gently stroked the horse's mane and muttered: "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, I treat you so well, and let people feed you well every day. You must strive to be good and be obedient."

"This horse is very docile, you can ride it with confidence, the princess is there for everything." Abi said, "Hey, the bell tower rang again just now, why hasn't the princess come out?"

"Yes." Abi didn't say anything, Xiao Xueqiong didn't feel it yet, after what she said, Xiao Xueqiong also felt that Li Yuerong had been in the palace for a long time today, and logically speaking, if she had just resigned after paying her respects, she should have left the palace by now.

"There should be some delay. However, since the princess has made an appointment to meet us here, let's wait patiently for a while."

A'Zhu has always been calm, and when she said this, Xiao Xueqiong and A'bi became more patient.

Xiao Xueqiong was bored, so she could only enjoy the scenery on Huangcheng Avenue.It is the beginning of spring at this moment, in the drizzle, the spring grass is sprouting, fresh and vigorous.

"The light rain on Tianjie is as soft as crisp, and the grass looks like it is far away, but it is not there. The most important thing is the spring of the year, and the decisive victory is full of smoke and willows in the imperial capital."

"Little aunt's eloquence is really admirable." Abi praised, although she said it casually, but it was sincere.

Xiao Xueqiong blushed, waved her hands hastily and said: "No, no, I didn't write this, I don't know how to compose poetry..."

"You know how to play all day long. The princess told us to read more books. You just ignored it. You must have made a fool of yourself in front of my little aunt today." A'Zhu, who rarely smiled on weekdays, sneered.

Abi curled her braids with her fingers, obviously a little embarrassed, but she still said with a firm mouth: "There are so many poems and essays in this world, and I am just a "drop in the ocean". Besides, even if my aunt didn't write this poem, she still remembered it, and the situation and situation are just right, so it's not wrong for me to praise my aunt's eloquence."

Xiao Xueqiong burst out laughing, while A'Zhu shook her head: "You...you are hopeless, opportunistic when you practice, lazy and slack when you study, only the kung fu of telling unreasonable things is second to none."

"Hmph." Abi raised her head, obviously not convinced.

Xiao Xueqiong said with a smile: "Where, our Abi can serve as a bodyguard for my sister, and can blurt out idioms and so on. Isn't this both civil and military?"

"That's right! It's my little aunt who knows people with her eyes. Some people are not as good as sparrows!"

"Sparrow?" Xiao Xueqiong and A'Zhu asked at the same time.

"Yes, Sparrow. Although the sparrow doesn't know Honghu's ambitions, it at least knows about Honghu. There are people, and Honghu stands in front of her, and she still thinks he is a sparrow like her!"

"Hahaha." Xiao Xueqiong smiled and bent over.

Azhu looked disgusted, and ignored Abi's nonsense

When Xiao Xueqiong was joking with Abi, Azhu said to the two: "The princess is here."

"Eh? Where, why can't I see it?" Xiao Xueqiong sat on the horse and looked around, but she didn't see Li Yuerong's car.

A'Zhu pointed to the front left, Xiao Xueqiong looked in the direction, and after a while, Li Yuerong's carriage appeared faintly in the distance, gradually becoming clearer.

"People who have practiced kung fu are really different." Xiao Xueqiong couldn't help but envy.

"Let's welcome it." Xiao Xueqiong suggested.

"Okay!"

"Yes." Ah Qing and Ah Zhu replied one after the other.

"Yu~" The driver for Li Yuerong today was another girl from the mansion, a few years older than Azhu Abi, when she saw Xiao Xueqiong and the others, she immediately stopped her horse and stopped.

"Sister!" Xiao Xueqiong couldn't wait to call out first.Before the words finished, Li Yuerong jumped out of the car neatly.

"You two go back by car today, I'll just take my aunt out of the city." Li Yuerong instructed Azhu Abi.

"Yes." The two answered.

Li Yuerong took the rein from A'Zhu's hand, and got on the horse. As if sensing the owner's arrival, the horse let out a cheerful cry, and shook its head, with a great air.

"I...then what should I do, do I want to ride out of the city by myself?" Before Abi let go, Xiao Xueqiong was already nervous.

"Don't be afraid, there is still me." Li Yuerong smiled, stretched out her hand and said to Abi, "Give me the rope."

So Li Yuerong sat on his own horse, holding Xiao Xueqiong's horse's rein in his hand, and the two of them walked out of the city slowly, halfway apart from each other.

Seeing that Li Yuerong was still wearing a long skirt, Xiao Xueqiong asked, "Sister, don't you need to go back home and change?"

Li Yuerong waved his hand: "Today is to teach you how to ride a horse, not a horse race. It's okay. It will be troublesome to go back home."

Along the way, Li Yuerong was smiling, and she was a little absent-minded. Xiao Xueqiong couldn't help asking curiously: "Did sister hear something happy today? Why are you so happy?"

Li Yuerong opened her mouth to answer, but seeing that there were many pedestrians and horses around the two of them, she said with a smile: "There is such a happy thing, I will tell you later."

"Okay." Xiao Xueqiong nodded, stopped asking, and turned to look at the restaurants and shops on both sides of the road.Counting it, she has been out of the palace for more than a year, but the number of times she has actually been able to leave the palace is not many, especially riding a horse like today to "swagger through the city", it feels even more different from sitting in a sedan chair in the past.

"Sister, why do we keep walking east?" Xiao Xueqiong was a little puzzled, although she was not very familiar with the outside of the palace, she still knew that the road outside the palace gate led directly to the gate of the inner city.

"Oh, let's go to Qingmo first, and then go out of the city through the side gate in the east. It won't take long. Besides, there are few people there, so we won't waste time talking if we meet acquaintances." Li Yuerong explained.

Xiao Xueqiong frowned, and asked: "Why did you think of looking for her, what's the matter?"

"Recently, the ladies and wives in Beijing mentioned Qingmo and praised her for her medical skills. Today, I know that her reputation has spread to the palace. This is certainly a good thing to say, but there are still some things that need to be reminded. Give her a moment." Li Yuerong recalled while talking, only to realize that since Shen Qingmo moved out of her house years ago, the two had never met each other, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"That's it," Xiao Xueqiong felt that this reason was still valid, so she didn't intend to delve into it.

Li Yuerong also felt that it made sense for her to care about her junior sister by the way, but unexpectedly, Xiao Xueqiong asked angrily after being silent for a while: "Is this what makes you happy?"

"Ah?" Li Yuerong was taken aback for a moment, and then answered dumbfoundedly, "Where is this going? What's in your little head?"

After hearing this, Xiao Xueqiong knew that she was thinking too much, she blushed a little, and felt a little regretful in her heart, secretly thinking that she was going to be made fun of again, but she blurted out the question in her heart on impulse, and she really couldn't control it.

However, Li Yuerong was still relentless: "Oh, I'm the only one who can stand you, you little vinegar bag", there was no lack of complacency in his words.

"I love to be jealous, isn't it because I have free time all day long. People, when they are free, they will think wildly. If you are with me every day, how can I have time to be jealous?" Xiao Xueqiong complained first, using offense instead of defense.

Sure enough, Li Yuerong felt a little guilty, coughed and said that there was no way to do it, and she would do whatever she wanted when she was free...

"Then sister, you haven't said what the happy event is?" Xiao Xueqiong couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked again.

Seeing that the two of them had reached a secluded place, Li Yuerong lowered his voice and said, "Do you still remember the Zhang Mengqi we sent into the palace before?"

"Of course I remember," Xiao Xueqiong replied, "Isn't she working in Yuyao Palace?"

"Not now," Li Yuerong smiled meaningfully, "It flew up the branch."

"Ah?" Xiao Xueqiong yelled in surprise, and hurriedly asked, "So fast? No, and it's such a coincidence, Huang...has really taken a fancy to her."

"Yeah, although I have heard Yuyao say that my father has noticed Zhang Mengqi, but with his temperament, I thought I would have to hold back for a while, but I didn't expect to wait so soon. Zhang Mengqi looks like my mother Similar, it seems that he still has some kind of affection for my mother, but only a little bit." Li Yuerong couldn't tell what was going on in her heart, she originally sent Zhang Mengqi to the palace because she wanted her to get rid of Concubine Wei's imperial concubine. Now that things are going so smoothly, Li Yuerong is naturally happy, but thinking that her mother has passed away for a long time, and her father is proud of the spring breeze, with constant beauties, she feels a little disappointed.

"I don't know if when he looks at Zhang Mengqi every day, he will think about my mother more, and if he will think about my mother more, will he care more about me and A Ke and A Xu." Li Yuerong murmured, also She would only say these words in front of Xiao Xueqiong.

How much Xiao Xueqiong cares about her sister Yuerong. She has to capture and ponder every expression and word. At this moment, she naturally understands that Li Yuerong's mood is not just happy. , it must be due to the blessing of being similar in appearance to the empress. My sister doesn't have to be disappointed. Even if there is no girl Mengqi, the emperor still wants to favor concubine Wei, concubine Liang, or other young and beautiful women. It is better to spoil girl Mengqi. "

"Where am I lost? It's not that I don't know what kind of person my own father is." Li Yuerong said firmly.

Xiao Xueqiong smiled, but said nothing.

Li Yuerong turned her head sideways, saw Xiao Xueqiong's pale face with dimples looming, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"My sister has a sharp mouth and a tofu heart." Xiao Xueqiong only said this sentence.

"Since when did I lose my heart?" Li Yuerong was a little dissatisfied, and then felt that something was wrong, and added, "I don't have a sharp mouth, do I?"

"My sister is very mean-spirited towards His Highness King Qin. As for the Holy Majesty, she always says she doesn't care, but she actually cares very much in her heart, and she is also mean-spirited. She also treats the fifth and sixth princes, even though she doesn't like her, but she doesn't care too much. Don't be cruel." There was no one around, so Xiao Xueqiong simply spoke.

Li Yuerong was stunned for a while, then couldn't help laughing, and stopped refuting. "So am I to you too?", she asked.

"To me? Of course not, how can I be like them? My sister is to me... well, a mouth that wants tofu, a heart that wants tofu."

"Hahahaha." Li Yuerong laughed out loud, feeling extremely happy in her heart, "I really didn't love you for nothing."
