The queen is charming, but powerful ministers lure her to seize power and usurp the throne

Chapter 55 Maple Leaf and Wine 1
Zhe Sang ran twice on horseback. Apart from the unfamiliarity she felt when she first got on the horse, she found the freedom and happiness of galloping in the wind again.

"This horse is not strong enough. It is grinding and whining as if it has its feet tied and cannot run fast." Song Yiyao reined in the horse, showing a lack of interest.

"This is specially prepared for concubines and noble ladies. It is specially chosen to be gentle. Naturally, it will not make you happy."

Zhe Sang also felt unhappy. The first time she rode a horse was when she was running for her life. The horse was frightened and went crazy by her. The next time she rode a horse was on the battlefield. It was a matter of life and death, so there was no time to be slow.

I am used to the ultimate feeling brought by the galloping horse, and now it is really not painful or itchy.

"It's a pity that this horse is a bit disappointing. I haven't competed with you for a long time. You haven't ridden for so long. I will definitely beat you this time!"

"That depends on whether your skills have improved!"

"It's easy to get a fast horse. Let's go! Just go to the stables and pick one!" Zhe Sang said loudly, and she was also infected by Song Yiyao's generosity.

She drove her horse and ran directly to the stable. Song Yiyao followed with her whip, the two figures like the wind, one behind the other.

The Queen's visit to the stable was unexpected, so while the official in charge of the stable was still squinting to see who was coming, a tall and thin horse slave stepped forward to greet her.

"I have met the Queen. I wonder what kind of horse you want to choose?"

Zhe Sang looked at the person coming. Compared with the official who ran over in a panic and threw a dog's shit away not far away, the upright-looking Manu in front of him was extremely smart.

"You know these horses well?"

"The slave serves the horses. I dare not say anything else, but I still know the habits of every horse in the stable." He replied.

No pride to show off, no excessive humility, magnanimity and calmness.

"That's very good. I need two fast horses. The faster the better!"

The horse slave agreed and quickly led two horses out. It was obvious that he went straight to the goal and did not take time to hesitate to choose.

Zhe Sang and Song Yiyao looked at each other and saw the satisfaction in each other's eyes. They were both very familiar with horses, and they could naturally tell the quality of the horse at a glance.

"My Majesty, this horse has a very fast foot, which means it has a bad temper. When your Majesty rides it, just use your legs to clamp the horse's belly. Never use a whip." He warned while handing the horse rope to Zhe Sang.

Zhe Sang took it, but her eyes stayed on his clean hands for a moment longer.

"You are careful and smart in your work. What is your name?"

"Gao Hong, the height of the mountains, the Hong of the swans." He answered.

"I hear your accent, you are not from Kyoto."

"Your Majesty is smart, and this slave is from Jiangzhou."

Zhe Sang smiled slightly and said, "There are many talented people in Jiangzhou."

Hearing this, Gao Hong was surprised, "Your Majesty is so discerning that she can tell that this slave has won the title of scholar."

Song Yiyao laughed out loud, she could see how exciting it was!This Gao Hong was rushing to introduce himself to his family and flattering him at the same time.

Jiangzhou has beautiful scenery, outstanding people and famous people.Song Yiyao was far away on the border and knew that Zhisang was just a casual comment.

Zhe Sang's expression did not change, he did not seem surprised, he just said gently, "Gao Xiucai is humble and careful in his actions. I hope that in the future, I will show my great ambitions and benefit the people of Jin Dynasty."

"I'm so grateful to hear this from you." Gao Hong was very excited and knelt on the ground.

From calm expression to self-reporting to the final excitement.

This boy's thoughts were not simple, and interest arose in Zhe Sang's eyes.

But the details were unclear, whether it was friend or foe, and she needed to investigate further, so she stopped and left on a fast horse with Song Yiyao.

"What did you ask him for just now? But what's wrong with him?" Song Yiyao had been in the army for a long time. Whenever something unusual happened, she would subconsciously suspect that the other party was a spy.

"A horse slave, neither humble nor arrogant. He knows the habits of nearly a thousand horses in the stable. His hands are clean. Although there are thin calluses, he doesn't look like someone who has been doing hard work all year round. So I can't help but ask. ." "As for whether there is a problem? There must be a problem." Zhe Sang said with a smile, looking relaxed, as if he was just telling a funny story.

"Why is he, a scholar, here to raise horses?" Song Yiyao said.

"The scholar doesn't go to the scientific examination, but he comes here to serve the horses——" Zhe Sang paused slightly.

"I guess he's waiting for his Bole."

After that, she clamped the horse's belly, and it was just as Gao Hong said——

Extremely fast.

It’s also very enjoyable!

The horses were changed again, and the two competed happily for several times. As expected, Song Yiyao won. Zhe Sang had been trapped in the harem for a long time, so he naturally regressed.

Although he lost, Zhe Sang felt happier than ever before!It's nothing more than a hearty experience.

When the sun sets over the western mountains, the red light shines slantingly on the earth.

The tired birds return to the forest, and the hunters come out of the forest with a great harvest.

Probably because the white color was too conspicuous, Zhe Sang's first glance fell on Gu Heng involuntarily.

The others had been running all day and were more or less tired, their clothes and hair were a little loose and dusty.

Gu Heng, however, had not changed at all. His robes were pure white and not stained by dust. The sunset reflected on his body, plating him with gold. Even his horse riding had a little more charm than others.

In the autumn evening, there is a freehand feeling of "the spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hoof is broken, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day".

Zhe Sang quickly looked away before he noticed.

Hearing the timid whispers of the noble ladies, Zhe Sang had an inexplicable thought.

When she was in the boudoir, before marrying Fu Rong, she had seen Gu Heng like this first, and Gu Heng also looked at her one more time.Will she be deliberately difficult when she marries Fu Rong again?If you are determined to be difficult to calm down, you will still be blinded by Fu Rong's shallow language and histrionics——

She calmed down, bent her knees slightly, and saluted the dismounted emperor to welcome him.There was also the most dignified and decent smile on his face.

She didn't look at anyone else, so she didn't see the slight disappointment in Gu Heng's eyes.

Zhou Siyang stared at the white figure with complicated eyes from behind. After this day, he had retracted his thoughts when he started.

A powerful showman - this is his latest evaluation of Prime Minister Gu.

He still kept the word "flowery" because he saw Prime Minister Gu secretly tidying up his clothes from time to time. He seemed to be extremely concerned about appearance.

Why is the white robe still white?Others chase their prey, get forty or fifty steps closer to the prey, and then shoot.Fortunately for him, his white clothes scared the prey so much that it ran far away in advance. He didn't chase it, he just stayed on the spot, lifting the arrow and drawing the bow. His movements were cool and casual, but the arrow he shot was very fast!allow!ruthless!
Zhou Siyang, who has always admired masters, was first in disbelief, and then his eyes lit up, so he couldn't help but follow him secretly all the way, wanting to study how he did it.

After following him for a day, Zhou Siyang felt very conflicted and complicated for the first time in his heart.

Let's put it this way, he likes to eat fish but not onions. Prime Minister Gu is like the most delicious fish, but it is sprinkled with chopped green onions.It makes people love and hate it, and makes people want to look up to the sky and scream with regret.

Prime Minister Gu has excellent archery skills, but can he not tidy up his clothes after half an hour, and wipe them clean if they are dirty? Even in the last half hour, everyone was counting the prey, and he was tidying up his clothes by the lake.

Although when Prime Minister Gu did these things, he was elegant, beautiful, and generous.

But Zhou Siyang still admires Hu Wei's informal and fiery style of acting.
