Chapter 291 I really envy you

If Xu Jinruo saw Changying, she didn't want the horse anymore, trotted all the way past Ling Yuan, and rushed to her directly: "Sister Changying!"

Seeing her suddenly relieved expression, Changying felt a little apologetic in her heart. Just as she was about to ask her a few words, Xu Lan asked first, "Where's yours? What did you hunt for?"

Before Xu Jinruo could answer, Ling Yuan immediately picked up the rabbit that had been stabbed to death by the dagger: "It's not easy, the bow, arrow and dagger are all used, and I just pinched them if I'm not good at it."

The few men who were not flat laughed.

Xu Jinruo blushed like blood, snatched the rabbit, and wanted to go back to the horse.

Changying held her back, smiled slightly and glanced at the men: "You guys are so capable, why don't you compete with her as a red girl?"

Immediately no one said anything.

Changying turned to Xu Jinruo: "Ten fingers are divided into different lengths. What you know may not be the same as others. Martial force is what men are good at. You don't rely on this to make a living. Isn't it normal that you can't hunt? Don't pay attention to them, we are excellent. It's on."

Xu Jinruo smiled through tears, if she was not still holding the rabbit in her hand, she would have hugged Changying.

……

After a short rest, I was ready to go back home.A group of ten or so horses riding high-headed horses, together with their entourage, galloped in the snowy wilderness, forming a wonderful scene with a radius of several miles.

It's night to talk around the stove, and a big copper pot is set up in the hall to cook meat.

Song Jun was led by the eunuchs and guards to play wildly in the snow for a while, and it was only at night that he remembered that Song Yi hadn't done his homework. Yang Su slowed down when he saw him eating, so he couldn't help asking.

But the fat man started biting his ear. After Yang Su listened to Liangliang, he squinted at him for a long while before calling Tong Qi to give some instructions.

After eating and stopping until Xushi, everyone dispersed contentedly.

Changying was going to go back to the room with Xu Jinruo, but Song Jun suddenly followed, "Sister Xu, I'm exhausted, why don't you take a walk with me?"

Xu Jinruo had no reason not to, so she led her to the vestibule, Changying was left alone, and as soon as he turned the corner, he saw Yang Su standing under the verandah.

Yang Su vertically instructed her to keep quiet, and then led her out.

The countryside is quiet and peaceful in the middle of the night, with a few sporadic dogs barking in the distance, and even the sound of the wind is very subtle.

Yang Su led her half a mile away with a dull head, and then blew his whistle, and the light suddenly lit up at the foot of the mountain in front of him. Looking carefully, it turned out to be a tent that had been set up.

Yang Su quickened his pace and pulled Changying to the front of the tent. Tong Qi Guansu was already waiting here, and then the guards on all sides disappeared into the surrounding night like phantoms.

"What did you bring me here for?" Changying was puzzled, but her face was also glowing.

"I've been arguing all day, come sit down and talk."

Yang Su dragged her into the tent, where there was a long couch covered with thick brocade mattresses.

It's not big, but it can accommodate two people without any problem.

The bonfire was burning not far from the door, and all the chill was blocked.

"Why do you think of coming here?" Changying sat down, looking at the gloomy snow field below the mountain and the few big houses still lit with many lights, she had a special feeling.

"I've thought about taking you to find a hill to sit quietly for a while." Tong Qi and the others went down at some time, and Yang Su, who was wearing a sable fur, took a copper chopstick and put red charcoal in the small smoker cage in front of him. "We were in that ruined temple in Tongzhou that year. I remember everything clearly, but it's a pity that I couldn't see it. I always feel it's a pity."

Changying watched him make tea with charcoal, and said, "Then why don't you just find a ruined temple?"

"I didn't find it."

Changying laughed, and rested her hands on the back of the couch with her hands relaxed, looking up at the sky in the distance.

There are one or two cold stars in the floating clouds, which are extraordinarily dazzling because of the cold night.And the mountains in the distance are shadowy, ethereal like a dream.

Although it is indeed a bit cold, but it has not been so comfortable for a long, long time.

"Actually, I haven't seen snow in the middle of the night outside. When I was a child, I was always surrounded by a lot of people.

"Until I went to Nankangwei, in order to compete for the position of centurion that year, I was wearing snow and Huang Ji and they waited in ambush in the mountain depression. I remember that when the bandits appeared, the snow on my body could be used as a quilt .”

Yang Su turned his head and looked at her, and said: "Other things that a lady of the world can't meet in her lifetime, when you come to you, you always understate it like a routine."

Changying smiled.

Yang Su asked: "Have you ever told anyone about these things before?"

"Of course not." Changying glanced at him.

Satisfied, Yang Su took her hand and stuffed it into his bosom: "I was a lot more naughty when I was a child, and the Huo family is also a big family, and because of business, many brothers and sisters from other clans live nearby and often come and go.

"My parents doted on me, and I became the leader of the children. I did all kinds of tricks, including secretly replacing the corn silk soaked in my husband's teacup with grass roots.

"Of course, there is no less punishment."

It was the first time Changying heard him mention the past when he was young, so she couldn't help asking him: "Did you know that you were the prince since you were a child?"

Yang Su didn't respond immediately, until he filled the bottom of the kettle with red charcoal, and then said: "I knew it when I was ten years old. Before I was ten years old, I only knew that I was trained more strictly and comprehensively than everyone around me.

"A lot of people suddenly came to the mansion that year, but I don't know why. My parents were very nervous. My mother held my hand and didn't let go for a whole half a day.

"Later, I was taken to my father's study, and only then did I know my background."

Changying nodded.It's not reasonable to let him know about such a confidential identity too early.

"The one who came was the emperor. He stayed overnight and then left. He said a lot to me that night.

"I can't accept that I have another life experience, but my parents keep emphasizing to me the importance of the family, country and government, telling me that among all the princes, only I have the hope to change the status quo, telling me loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and telling me Speaking of the palace struggle that my mother and concubine faced during her lifetime.

"I don't care about the status of the prince, but I can't ignore the overall situation in their mouths. So later, I just walked down this road."

Changying didn't intend to ask any more questions, but he started talking on his own.

"Speaking of which, I'm quite envious of you," he said while looking at the fire, "you are freer than most of us. If you want to enter this court, you can definitely enter it, and if you want to let it go, you can definitely let it go.

"But I'm different—maybe it's not just me, Ling Yuan and Xu Lan are all the same. They bear the heavy responsibility of the family, but I'm pinned on the hope of changing the court situation, and I'm all bound in the same way."

Changying imagined his experiences in the past for a while, and said with a smile: "But the reason why I am free is nothing more than because I am lonely. If I have parents, husband and children, I am also not free. Why should you envy me? .”

But when it came to the Huo family, she remembered again: "So, your parents knew your identity from the very beginning and raised you for the emperor. I don't know why the emperor sent you out Woolen cloth?"

It's not like he was placed with high hopes when he was still in his infancy.
