A Guide to Keeping a Domestic Unicorn

Not long after Qi Jia left, the palace servants summoned Qingyan to go to the Prince's to prepare for the expedition.

I don't know why Emperor Taiyuan was so anxious to let the prince go out as soon as possible.Qingyan then packed the package that Qi Jia had packed for him and some clean clothes, and followed the eunuch to meet the prince.

The eunuch next to the prince was originally ordered to pick up Qingyan, but after asking all morning, he found the remote place where Qingyan lived. Stacking logs, the dignified prince was actually chopping firewood.

After receiving the crown prince's order, Qingyan left the courtyard gate with a group of eunuchs looking around and pointing at his small courtyard with his burden on his back.The eunuch hurriedly took his burden away and said, "Fourth Highness, I think we can help you get this thing, you can get on the sedan chair quickly."

It turned out that they had prepared a sedan chair for Qingyan.

Unexpectedly, Qingyan grabbed the burden again and said: "This is important equipment for marching and fighting, I'd better carry it by myself."

"Cheng Chengcheng, I'm depending on you, get up the sedan chair quickly." The eunuch said.

When Qingyan was finally carried into the gate of the prince's palace, Qingyan was shocked by the exquisite decorations in the prince's courtyard as soon as he stepped off the sedan chair. Although he has seen many courtyard halls in the palace, even if he has never lived in it, at least he has Yes, but the prince’s residence is obviously different from other places. It is decorated like a fairyland. Many unheard of exotic flowers and plants can still be colorful in this cold winter. After entering the palace gate, there is a clear pool in the middle, lavender lotus flower blooming in water.

Apparently the prince likes water scenery very much. Three steps and one scene in the whole palace garden are all small bridges and flowing water.

However, before entering the palace gate, the guards at the gate had to check Qingyan's package and search him.

Qingyan then unwrapped the bundle for them to check one by one, those guards inspected it very carefully, even shaking Qingyan's folded clothes to touch them inch by inch.

"There are patches on this clothes." The inspecting guard couldn't help but said.

"Diligent and thrifty." Qing Yan said with folded arms.

"What is this?" Another guard said holding instant noodles.

"It's for food." Qing Yan said.

"Take a bite and see." The guard said to Qingyan.Qingyan tore open and took a bite of the bread, and the guard also took a bite, thinking it tasted good, so several guards came over to eat, and soon finished eating a pack of instant noodle biscuits.

While the guards were looking at the exquisite Zippo lighter, a cronies of the prince came down from upstairs, pointed at the guards and said, "You are too presumptuous! Why have you pestered the Fourth Highness for so long? Let the Fourth Highness go in!"

Qingyan then took off his shoes, followed the cronies upstairs to meet the crown prince.At this time, the prince was already wearing a snow-white war robe and military uniform, waiting to set off. When he saw Qingyan coming, he said: "Fourth brother, I see that you haven't come to report to me for a long time. I thought you got up late, so I asked someone to come." I'm looking for you, maybe you don't understand the rules of the army, just stay with me, and when you come to the southwest, don't act without authorization, understand?"

"Yes, Brother Huang." Qing Yan said.

The crown prince nodded and smiled, he was afraid that Qingyan wouldn't understand the rules of combat and army, if he ran around and got hurt.So I specially called Qingyan here, preparing to bring him by my side to support and protect him.

To be honest, he prefers Qingyan, who is uncontested and as calm as water, than his other younger brothers who are scheming and domineering. On that day at the royal banquet, the other princes showed their faces, but only Qingyan had no respect for power. Not interested, and his temperament and eyes are different from other princes, he felt that Qingyan might be someone he could trust.

"I prepared a battle robe for you, and I will let my servants serve you to put it on later. If it doesn't fit, I will take it off for you after we lead the team out of the city on horseback." The prince said, "Qingyan, can you ride a horse? ?”

The prince knows that among his younger brothers, there are those who are ignorant and only know how to enjoy themselves, and there are also those who are too well protected by the mother and concubine, who are afraid of falling off the horse and have an accident, so they are strictly forbidden to learn these things, so there are many among the princes who don't even know how to ride and shoot. Now, he doesn't know Qingyan's daily situation, it seems that he has never seen Qingyan on the riding range.

Qingyan doesn't seem like the kind of person who is ignorant, the prince thinks maybe Qingyan's mother and concubine cherish Qingyan and don't let him learn riding and archery!

"No." Qingyan replied simply, only those powerful princes can enter the riding ground, he has never been rejected, even if the imperial study room has riding and archery lessons, he is also excluded - because As soon as the riding and archery class came, the emperor ordered those famous BMW horses to be rewarded to all the princes. Of course, the other princes would not let people like Qingyan steal their horses and limelight.

"Oh, then I'll ask some skilled grooms to lead the horses for you later, and choose the most docile horse for you. Be careful yourself, don't move around, and leave everything to the grooms." The prince sighed in his heart , because according to the law of etiquette, as the coach, I will ride through the city gate with other generals on horseback.

He explained to Qingyan a few precautions, and then asked his subordinates to take Qingyan to change clothes.After Qingyan left, the crown prince called his cronies, and said: "Take my mount Bai Ye and give it to the fourth prince to ride. Bai Ye is a spiritual BMW, so he won't fall over him."

"Prince! That's your special mount! Bai Ye is the horse emperor bestowed on you by His Majesty!"

"It's fine for me to ride other white horses. They are all white anyway, so I can't tell. Don't talk about it anymore, go and do it." The prince said.

Bai Ye is a precious horse from the Western Regions that Emperor Taiyuan spent a lot of money to buy three years ago. It is snow-white without a single hair. This horse is not only the best among the thousand-mile horses, but also very human, with a docile personality, and a star-like swirl on its forehead Because of the color of the flower, it was named Bai Ye. As soon as Bai Ye entered the palace, he was named the Emperor of Horse by Emperor Taiyuan, and was specially rewarded to the prince.

The confidant then led the order to do it, but unexpectedly there was an episode on the way - the thirteen princes in full armor also came to meet the prince and were about to go on an expedition. On the way, seeing the prince's confidant holding Bai Ye, he asked: "But the prince Brother taught you to lead the horse and prepare to go?"

"Back to the Thirteenth Lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to reward the Fourth Highness to ride first." The confidant replied.

Hearing Qingyan's name, the thirteenth prince suddenly felt a fire of nameless resentment. He still remembered that Qingyan made him fall and was humiliated at the banquet last night, so he said hypocritically: "It turns out that the elder brother of the prince wanted to give the old man a favor. Fourth, why don't you let me be honored, and let me lead the horse to give to the fourth brother, which is also a favor."

The confidant hesitated for a moment. He knew the thirteenth prince's violence, but when he didn't know what to do, the thirteenth prince pushed him away and took the horse away by himself. The prince's servants were dragged into the dark, and after being beaten up, they fell unconscious.

"Bai Ye is a BMW, and my father has always been eccentric, so I gave it to the crown prince directly, ha ha," the thirteenth prince led Bai Ye to a secluded place, and couldn't help but sneer, "But from today, Bai Ye is my horse!"

It turned out that he wanted to eat the white night alone!Just when he was about to climb on Bai Ye's horse, Bai Ye probably saw that the thirteenth prince was not a good person, and at this moment he suddenly became agitated, struggling desperately and neighing, almost kicking him to the ground - but the thirteenth prince is a master horse trainer , After a fight with the horse, he grabbed the rein and cursed: "This beast! It seems that he is used to following the prince and is unwilling to change masters! My uncle doesn't have any BMW! Bah!"

After saying that, he even drew out his sword, and cut off Bai Ye's horse's head with one sword!

It's a pity that a generation of famous horses will die like this.

The thirteenth prince was also bold and bold. After hacking Bai Ye to death, he called his servants to bury Bai Ye secretly, and said to his subordinates: "Go and find the fierce horse named Crazy Bai in my stable, and take it to the old man. Four!"

"White Crazy" is a once-in-a-hundred-year-old horse specially donated by Shanyu outside the Great Wall. It is also pure white, but it has a violent personality and great strength. No one can control it. It even fell to death and trampled many brilliant horses Master, no one was allowed to ride at all, and whoever rode would die. Since it was paid by Shan Yu, it was inconvenient to deal with it, so he gave it to the thirteen princes to keep him in captivity, and he was only locked in a stable for viewing on weekdays.

The wickedness of the thirteen princes can be seen!

It seems that he is going to use this fierce horse to make Qingyan either die or be injured!

----------------------

Speaking of which, Qi Jia finally found the military headquarters where he joined the army, and it took him a long time to line up for his turn. The army is about to go out today, and everything is in a hurry.A school lieutenant named Wang Chu received him and arranged duties for him.

Qi Jia thought that throughout the ages, no matter in the workplace or in the official world, there has been a rule that has not been broken, so when he handed over his letter of appointment to Wang Chu, he secretly stuffed a 300 tael silver note in it.

That Wang Chu is also a sensible person. After receiving the bank note, he smiled knowingly: "Brother Shen, you are a descendant of General Shen, not an ordinary civilian. Of course you can't be an ordinary soldier. I have a vice-principal in charge of logistics here." As a captain, I happen to be with you, you and I can work together in the same tent!"

Qi Jia bowed quickly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang!"

Wang Chu waved his hand and said: "Oh, what is an adult or not? We are all on the same ladder. I am a few years older than you. You can call me big brother. You and I will be called brothers in the future. In the barracks, we are all brothers." Loyalty!"

Qi Jia said yes, but he looked at this Wang Chu, with shrewd eyes, sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a hint of calculation in his flattering smile, he didn't look like a good person, so he thought it's better to be careful.

Finally got the military uniform and entered the army. After Qi Jia changed his clothes, he felt a little melancholy. In such a huge army, Qing Yan, as the prince, must be in the team of the main commanders. As a small logistics captain, he and Qing Yan There are a mountain of military orders and regulations between Yan, it is a death penalty for a soldier to rush into the commander, how can I see Qing Yan?

Although it may be only a short distance away, it feels like a world away at this time.
