As the sun was shining, Ningxi had someone place a wicker chair in the middle of the courtyard. At this time, her face was covered with a gauze scarf and she was lazily sunbathing. Today was already the second day since the emperor promised to take her out of the palace. Damn it, it stands to reason that if the emperor didn't show up yesterday, he would definitely come to take me out of the palace this evening.
Ningxi thought that she would be refreshed in the evening by basking in the sun for a while at noon. She would have to have a good time before coming back tonight, because when she came back, she would carefully teach the people in the harem a lesson. All she had to do was show off her power. It's time for sick cats!
"Why did you leave the palace so early this time?" When Ningxi was feeling comfortable under the sun, Xiao Chengyan sneaked in and asked her to change into casual clothes and prepare to leave the palace.
"Today I will take you to relax outside the city."
When Xiao Chengyan was still the fifth prince, he bought a manor outside the city. There was a horse farm in the manor. When he was in the northwest, she liked to run around on horseback. Since he brought him out, why should he let her enjoy it to the fullest? .
"You can go outside the city!" Ningxi immediately turned into stars when she heard that she could go outside the city. It was obvious that it was a wise choice to go out to have fun, otherwise she would still be taking a nap in the yard in the sun.
"The Prime Minister is now on sick leave. I think it's best not to go to Ning Mansion and disturb him."
Xiao Chengyan knew very well why Ning Chengcheng complained of illness at home and refused to go to court. His precious niece had been wronged in the harem, and being an uncle could make him happy.
Xiao Chengyan thought about how his noble concubine could be bullied for no reason. He just waited and hoped that my father-in-law's family would stop saying that I bullied his family.
"Uncle is sick, let Yuzhu go and take a look."
Ningxi didn't expect her uncle to make a fuss because of her being poisoned. She thought it was cold in winter and it was normal for Prime Minister Ning, as an uncle, to have headaches and fever.
Ningxi winked at her before Yuzhu left. Yuzhu got off the carriage and went to Ning Mansion accompanied by a guard to see the Prime Minister. The rest of them went outside the city together.
As soon as the man named Yuzhu left, Xiao Chengyan took a sneak peek at his noble concubine and recalled that day when he secretly asked Yuzhu to come for questioning. Not to mention the true loyalty of her palace maids, unless he betrayed the concubine, he Get rid of them mercifully, otherwise the palace maids will not only report truthfully according to their temperament, but they will also accuse him of the emperor in front of the imperial concubine with added jealousy. Ever since he saw Ningxi writing prescriptions and preparing medicines, Xiao Chengyan stopped asking himself all the time: Why? She didn’t tell him about her concubine’s medical skills! We will definitely ask her questions another day to see how many unsolved mysteries there are about the imperial concubine.
Before arriving, Xiao Chengyan ordered someone to drive the carriage directly to the racecourse. When he heard the driver, "Oh~"
Knowing that he had arrived at his destination, Ningxi opened the curtains, and the huge horse farm came directly into view. Ningxi sighed with emotion, "Wow~ there is a horse farm here. It's great to be rich and powerful!"
Xiao Chengyan thought she would say some words of praise, but instead he said, "It's great to be rich and powerful." He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. The ambiguity of these words, haha~
Before getting off the carriage, Xiao Chengyan tied the cloak for Ningxi, and Ningxi obediently posed for him to put it on. He thought to himself that he, the emperor, had done such a good job. He had never been like this in all the ages.
When they got off the carriage, Ning Honghui, Ning Hongzhe, Ning Hongqian, Xie Cheng, and Lin Yize were already waiting outside. Seeing these people, Ningxi asked: "Your Majesty, can I ride alone now?" A horse? You didn’t ask me to come here to watch the riding skills of you guys!"
"Of course I want you to have a lot of fun today, but you can't be careless, after all, your body is just right." Xiao Chengyan was afraid that if she started to play, it would be okay if she went crazy and ignored her own body.
As soon as she heard that she could ride a horse, Ningxi happily blocked out the second half of Xiao Chengyan's sentence, put her arms around the person's neck and said, "Your Majesty, you are so kind!" When she was happy, she hugged the coquettish imperial concubine and was invincible.
"I really miss the aloof Concubine Ning when I first entered the palace."
When Eunuch Wan heard the emperor's murmurings, his heart tightened. Your Majesty, I am afraid you have been too happy recently and are looking for excitement!
You are most afraid of the Emperor's sudden concern, so please don't argue with the Emperor too much in the future.
"Your Majesty, she looks like she's doing well!" Ning Hongqian led a little cub over, Ning Hongzhe, her little cousin.
Hearing the joking in his words, Ningxi smiled and gave him a look. Ningxi and Ning Hongqian got along best among their peers in the Ning family. They were similar in age, and he had an out-of-the-box temperament and a sense of humor. Funny.
"Fourth cousin has been doing well lately." Recently I heard that he was being chased by a girl. I think he came out of town today to hide from his love.
Ning Xi smiled with an ambiguous look on her face. Ning Hongqian couldn't understand why. It seemed that although this cousin was in the deep palace, her ears were no worse than those of the emperor. Just like this, his old man kept talking about how he had wronged his niece. The emperor doesn't condone her, but she can do this, well, it's a pity that I'm not a girl.
The two of them exposed each other's shortcomings, and Ningxi was not afraid. Anyway, her second aunt loved her very much. This time when she went back, her fourth cousin would definitely eat fried meat with bamboo shoots.
"Hello, little cousin!" Ning Xi blinked her eyes, acting shamelessly cute towards the child.
"Hello, cousin~"
Ning Hongzhe had met Ning Xi when she was the age of Ning Duo (the son of Ning Honghui's third cousin). It was when she came back from the Northwest when she was ten years old, and it was also the first time she visited her maternal ancestor's house. , met my grandfather, grandmother, three uncles and aunts, and also met several cousins and this little cousin.
Despite Ning Hongzhe's small appearance, children in this ancient time were not like the naughty children of later generations, who were naughty and lawless; look at this small body and appearance, he was gentle, polite, and polite.
Ningxi couldn't help but think of another little Douding from the Ning family. It seemed that her third cousin didn't bring anyone here today. To be honest, Ningxi itself wasn't interested in children. However, the Ning family's children were particularly cute. Maybe it was The Ning family's genes are good, and everyone in the Ning family is very good-looking.
Ningxi reached out to touch his head, but she didn't expect the child to hide away, "Cousin, don't touch a man's head casually, it's not good!"
"Pfft--" Ningxi couldn't hold it back looking at the little grown-up, "How old are you that you dare to call yourself a man!"
Ning Hongzhe patted his small chest and said, "I will be nine years old after the Chinese New Year."
"Oh, then you can be considered a little man."
"I am a real man, a manly man, not a little man." As he said that, Ning Hongzhe curled his lips, as if he disliked the little man that Ning Xi just said.
He is a kid, so this child must have been taken care of by his fourth brother. After all, the age difference between the two is that they are the youngest among the brothers, and they are biological brothers. The older brother plays with his younger brother, and the younger brother follows his elder brother very normally.
"Okay, okay, you are a man."
When Xiao Chengyan led the horse over, he happened to hear Ning Xiying and Xiao Guitou's words. How could his concubine be so popular with children?
Don't look at Ning Hongzhe curling his lips in disgust for his cousin not recognizing him as a man just now, but he has been leaning on Ning Xi. He likes his cousin the most, much more than his little nephew.
"The common people pay their respects to the Emperor!"
"Get up." Xiao Chengyan
"Just ride for half an hour, don't let the wind blow and get cold."
"Your Majesty, don't worry about my concubines. You promised to let me have a good time today."
The imperial concubine did not recognize anyone, so Xiao Chengyan could only admit that he was weak and took Ning Honghui, Xie Cheng and others to the pavilion in the manor.
Ningxi touched the horse that Xiao Chengyan brought personally, and it seemed to be very docile. Ningxi put her head on its head intimately, establishing a friendship between the two of them. After a while, they would get along well. , we should get along well with each other in the future.
"My dear, please go to the lounge and change your clothes."
Ning Xi didn't know that he could go horse riding outside the city today, and the clothes he was wearing were not suitable for riding on a horse.
Fortunately, the servants in the manor got the news about the emperor early in the morning and ordered people to prepare clothes and shoes for the imperial concubine.
There is a resting place for the masters next to the racecourse, which is also to prevent the masters from being unable to rest in time when they are tired from playing.
"My dear, this is where the master usually rests."
Ning Xi went to the middle room and looked at the neatly arranged surroundings. Xiao Chengyan must have come here often. No wonder this person didn't like to go to the harem very much. Could it be that he was eating wild food outside?
After looking around, I didn't see anything feminine. I waited for someone to pick up the clothes and then went behind the screen to change.
When they arrived at the racecourse again, Ning Hongqian and Ning Hongzhe were already on horseback. Although the Ning family was a scholarly family and the younger generations did not follow the path of military commanders, the family also hired martial arts masters when they were young, also to keep fit. , even though Ning Hongzhe is the youngest, his strength is stronger than that of his brothers.
Ning Honghui still had something to discuss with the emperor, so Xie Cheng and Lin Yize came to the racecourse together. They happened to see Ningxi get on the horse beautifully, with a trace of surprise in his eyes. This had never been heard before in the capital. Is there any young lady who knows how to ride? This noble concubine is worthy of being the daughter of a general. She grew up in the northwest with General Chen.
Xie Cheng thought that he had been half of General Chen's apprentice when he was young. In this way, the imperial concubine was still his junior sister.
How about getting close to the imperial concubine? He approached Lin Yize and asked, "Yize, do you think it's easy to get close to the imperial concubine?"
Lin Yize looked at Xie Cheng as if he were a fool. If you want to get close to the imperial concubine, you are probably going to die. "Why is it that the emperor has given you so few things recently? You are too busy!" Get close to the imperial concubine.
"You?" Xie Cheng glanced at him disdainfully, took half a step away from him, and said, "I don't care about you, a businessman who smells like copper."
"Oh, then don't take your wife to my *** for dinner frequently." This indifferent tone begs you.
*** is the most luxurious dining place in the capital, and it has branches in Yangzhou, Luoyang and other prosperous places. Lin Yize is the owner behind the restaurant in Beijing.
"Threaten me again!"
If his wife hadn't particularly liked the dishes in his restaurant, he would have dreamed of being able to deal with Lin Yize.
