Colorful

Chapter 213 Sniffing the Fragrance Lightly (1)
This year is strange, although the first half of the first month is still cold enough to cause frostbite on hands and feet, but in the middle of the month it clears up for a long time, and in the second half of the month you can feel the strong sense of spring.

According to Shen Che's words, he took Ji Cheng to the hot spring village in the suburbs to soak in the hot springs. After hearing this, Shen Zheng also clamored to take Feng Shuang there.

Shen Che thought that he would not enjoy any good fortune anyway, so he simply invited Shen Zheng and his wife as well as Chu De's couple.

Shen Zheng is also a guy who likes to invite friends, so he also called his childhood friends Chu Zhen and his wife.Such a large group of people went to Shen Che's hot spring village.

The hot spring village was built on the side of the mountain, not far from hills and pastures, Shen Zheng seemed to let the wind go: "Let's go horseback riding, the snow has almost melted, I'll take a bow and arrow, and go hunting some more Pheasant and hare, after horseback riding, soak in soup and eat barbecue at night, that is enjoyment.”

Everyone agreed, and Chu De said: "Forgive me, do you think I look like I am riding a horse? I feel like my flesh is shaking in a car."

Shen Che said: "You guys go ride the horses, I'll accompany Ade." After finishing speaking, Shen Che tidied the white fox fur on Ji Cheng's cloak, "You should go ride a few laps too, it's better to move more."

Ji Cheng nodded, even if Shen Che didn't say it, she still had that meaning, nestled in the Jiuli courtyard, occasionally she did feel suffocated.

When it comes to riding horses, women are usually inferior to men, so Shen Zheng and Chu Zhen went straight forward, leaving a few female relatives to chat together.

Since this is Shen Che's Zhuangzi, Ji Cheng is naturally the hostess who will do his part and is responsible for taking care of everyone.

Ji Cheng pulled the rein of the horse and leaned towards Shen Xun, she is Shen Che's precious younger sister, no one can neglect her.It's just that before Ji Cheng's horse approached, Shen Xun abruptly clamped the horse's belly, and whipped the horse's belly with a whip, and the horse galloped forward.

Shen Xun did not want to get close to her because Chu Zhen still couldn't forget Ji Cheng in his heart and had some resentment towards her.

Ji Cheng reined in his horse and stopped thoughtfully, he had guessed Shen Xun's thoughts in his heart, but he didn't expect that after so many years, she had married Chu Zhen as she wished, and she still couldn't let go of the original matter.

Chu De's wife, Cui Ling, smiled at Ji Cheng: "I'll go and see."

Feng Shuang drove to Ji Cheng's side and said, "A Xun may be in a bad mood, and it's not against you, Second Sister-in-law."

Ji Cheng nodded at Feng Shuang: "Yes, I know. Let's go, today is for fun, let's go to the hill ahead and see if we can hunt some wild game, so we can't make those men special. "Ji Cheng patted the quiver on his horse's back and said.

Feng Shuang nodded, and followed Ji Cheng with his horse.She has been on the grassland for many years, riding a horse is commonplace, but she did not expect that Ji Cheng, who Jiao Didi watched and collapsed when the wind blows, is so skilled in riding. It was very difficult.

Ji Cheng saw a hare flash past in the woods in front of him with sharp eyes, and without thinking about it, he drew his bow and arrow in one go.

It was too late to say it, and then it was fast, and there were only two swishes, and the rabbit fell down in response.

Two arrows were stuck in the rabbit almost at the same time, Ji Cheng got off his horse and walked over, and saw Shen Zheng coming out from behind the tree.

Shen Zheng was a little closer to the hare than Ji Cheng, and he picked up the rabbit and looked at it: "Second Sister-in-law's arrow is right on the mark, this prey is yours." Shen Zheng stretched his hand forward, "Unexpectedly, Second Sister-in-law so good at archery."

In fact, there was some element of luck in this arrow. Ji Cheng hadn't rode a horse to hunt for a long time, and his skills were a little rusty, but fortunately, his luck was really good.

Ji Cheng took two steps forward, and reached out to take the hare without politeness.Hunting is like this, if she doesn't accept it, then she will look down on Shen Zheng instead.

Because it was close, and there was wind blowing from Ji Cheng's direction, Shen Zheng only felt a faint sweet fragrance of peach juice being sent to his nose by the wind, which made him swallow his saliva.

The sweet fragrance made Shen Zheng startled, he raised his eyes to look at Ji Cheng, seeing her so closely, he realized that she is really a rare beauty in the world.

The skin is as smooth as jade, so delicate and flawless that one can't help but want to touch it with their fingers to see if it feels like stroking suet.

But the person in front of him is his second sister-in-law, Shen Zheng still keeps this in mind, he doesn't want to be dealt with by his second brother again.

Ji Cheng also refrained from standing alone with her brother-in-law, and she didn't know why Feng Shuang hadn't caught up. She picked up the wooden whistle hanging on her chest and blew it, and then she heard the sound of the horse's hooves.

Ji Cheng hung the hare on the back of the horse, turned on the horse neatly, and said to Shen Zheng who was still standing there in a daze: "The third brother and sister came with me, probably because my horse was riding too fast, and I don't know her Where have you been, do you know the way?"

Shen Zheng was not a fool, he immediately understood the subtext in Ji Cheng's words, and couldn't help but blushed a little, fortunately Feng Shuang also followed him at this time, so he relieved his embarrassment.

Now that Shen Zheng and his wife had already met, Ji Cheng naturally didn't want to disturb the couple's solitude, so he drove to the forest ahead alone.

Coincidentally, Shen Xun and Cui Ling were not far away, Ji Cheng hesitated a little whether to go forward, but Cui Ling was a delicate person, and when she saw Ji Cheng, she shouted to her: "Second sister-in-law."

Shen Xun was probably persuaded by Cui Ling, and when he saw Ji Cheng again, he didn't hide, instead he said, "Second sister-in-law, I heard that your riding skills are very good, why don't we race horses, otherwise just riding horses is really meaningless."

No matter what Shen Xun said, Ji Cheng would never say anything bad, so he said straightforwardly, "Okay."

But as soon as he ran, Ji Cheng noticed that Shen Xun's riding skills had improved a lot.

There is a reason for this.

When Shen Xun was politely rejected by Chu Zhen, he was really not reconciled. He once asked Chu Zhen in private why he preferred Ji Cheng.In fact, Chu Zhen couldn't come up with the answer himself, so he said perfunctorily: "She's good at riding."

Just because of this sentence, Shen Xun's riding skills have not fallen over the years, and later he married Chu Zhen as he wished, and the two rode and hunted together, but they were very compatible.

It’s just that galloping horses on hills is different from peace. If you ride too fast, you won’t be able to react for a while when you encounter a cliff, and you won’t be able to turn the horse’s head in time, and you will easily run out, which is very dangerous.

Ji Cheng deliberately rode slowly, because he didn't want Shen Xun to ride too fast in order to win or lose. If something happened, Ji Cheng couldn't bear it.

But Shen Xun didn't seem to think that way, the horse rode so fast that it was like using the hills as pastures.Ji Cheng was afraid that something would happen to her, so he had to speed up to follow, but Shen Xun seemed to sense the "threat", and ran forward even more desperately.

This is the first time Ji Cheng has come to this hot spring village, and he is not familiar with the terrain here, so he just shouted loudly: "Xun, watch the road carefully."

Shen Xun turned around to look at Ji Cheng, who was two horses away from her, smiled brightly, and softly called "drive", and the horse ran even faster.

Ji Cheng looked behind Shen Xun, his soul was almost frightened, and he saw Shen Xun's horse rushing straight down the mountain.

Ji Cheng didn't care about that much, he whipped the horse's butt hard, and her horse galloped forward like crazy, Ji Cheng took advantage of the momentum and rushed towards Shen Xun, grabbing her rein forcefully.

At this time, Shen Xun was already in shock, unable to do anything, she didn't scream until she saw Ji Cheng pounced on her horse, the sound resounded through the sky, and her voice could be heard from far away. scream.

But Shen Xun's horse was too fast, it couldn't stop at all, and pulling the rein desperately was useless, but there was a cliff ahead, the horse couldn't stop, and even the man and the horse would die.Ji Cheng made a decision in an instant, rolled aside with Shen Xun in his arms, and jumped off the horse.

But because they couldn't control the castration, Ji Cheng and Shen Xun rolled over several times one after another, and still fell down the cliff. Thanks to Ji Cheng's quick-handed grasp of a tree trunk, the two of them avoided falling off the cliff and turning into meat sauce end.

At this moment, the palms of the two were all sweaty, Ji Cheng couldn't hold onto Shen Xun at all, and Shen Xun was so frightened that he kept kicking in the air, Ji Cheng couldn't bear her strength, his hands slipped, and the two of them fell again.Fortunately, their lives should not be lost, and they both happened to grab a small tree at hand, so they didn't fall to the bottom of the mountain.

Seeing that Shen Xun was fine for the time being, Ji Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. If Shen Xun's fate had been confessed here today, the fate of her husband and wife with Shen Che would probably have been confessed here as well.

"Ah Xun, don't move anymore. The tree is too small to bear your strength. Be quiet and don't move. Let's ride off the cliff, and Sister Cui will follow behind. I will inform your brother that they are coming to rescue us." Ji Cheng said calmly.

Probably because Ji Cheng was too calm, the fear in Shen Xun's heart became much less, and he imitated her by grasping the tree trunk with both hands firmly, and stopped moving around.

Shen Xun was extremely remorseful in her heart, it was her fault that caused the two of them to be in danger, and almost died here, she was full of apologies to Ji Cheng, she opened her mouth to apologize, but was swallowed by the bitingly cold mountain wind. As soon as he went in, Shen Xun was so cold that he shivered.Because of fear, she had no strength in her body, and all her energy was given to the hands holding the tree trunk, so she no longer cared about apologizing, and only thought that she must say sorry to Ji Cheng after she was rescued.

As Ji Cheng expected, everyone on the hill heard Shen Xun's scream.

When Chu Zhen and Shen Zheng heard this, they rushed towards them.Chu Zhen met Cui Ling on the road first, and Cui Ling hurriedly pointed forward: "Front, quick! Quick!"

Chu Zhen saw the traces of being crushed by a horse on the edge of the cliff at a glance, he rushed to the edge of the cliff and shouted: "Xun!"

"It's me, it's me, I'm below." As soon as Shen Xun heard Chu Zhen's voice, tears flowed out.

Ji Cheng also heaved a sigh of relief. The small tree she was holding was about to be unable to bear her weight. She could see that the roots of the tree were loose, but there were no other branches nearby, so she didn't dare to move it. Those who called for their help came sooner.

"Don't be afraid, I'll come down right away." Chu Zhen has martial arts skills, although he is not as good as Shen Che, but the cliff in front of him is not difficult for him.

It was just that when Chu Zhen went down the cliff, he saw that Ji Cheng was also hanging on the tree, but her position was sunken inward, so Chu Zhen didn't see her just now when he was on the top.

Ji Cheng was closer to Chu Zhen than Shen Xun, but Chu Zhen saw the crumbling little tree at a glance, and it was too late, but when Chu Zhen grabbed Ji Cheng's hand, the tree finally endured. Unable to bear Ji Cheng's weight, he fell towards the cliff.

It was really dangerous, if Chu Zhen came a little later, or if he chose to save Shen Xun first, Ji Cheng would have passed away by now.

Chu Zhen sent Ji Cheng up the cliff, then turned around and went down to rescue Shen Xun.

When Shen Xun was rescued, she was shivering from the cold, she walked in front of Ji Cheng, and slapped her hard.

This slap not only fooled Ji Cheng, but also fooled Cui Ling, Chu Zhen, and Shen Zheng who followed.

Ji Cheng's face was turned to one side by the beating, and before she could speak, she saw Shen Xun, the beating one, crying more sadly than she, the beating one.

After such a farce, no one was in the mood to hunt and ride horses, so they tidied up hastily and returned to Hot Spring Village.

When Ji Cheng went back, Shen Che wasn't there, so he probably went out with Chu.She covered her face all the way until longaner saw her when she entered the door.

"What's wrong with young mistress? Who is so bold to do something to young mistress?" Longan'er was surprised.

Ji Cheng didn't bring Liu Ye'er and Yu Qian'er with her when she went out this time. They were going to get married soon, so she stayed in the mansion to prepare for the wedding.

Longaner just came to serve Ji Cheng not long ago, although she is not so caring, but she is good at being strict and obedient.Ji Cheng didn't answer Longan'er's question: "Go boil an egg and roll it for me, don't talk about it."

Longan'er nodded and went.

Shen Xun's slap was really hard, and after rolling two eggs, the redness and swelling on Ji Cheng's face was still obvious, and finally he applied ice cubes to it, and it got better.Ji Cheng applied a thick layer of powder on his face to barely cover it, but it couldn't stand up to scrutiny.

Because of the slap marks on his face, Ji Cheng stayed in the house all day and didn't go out, not even going out for dinner.It was already dark for a long time when Shen Che returned to the hot spring village.

When Shen Che entered the door, Ji Cheng was lying on the bed reading a book, the face that was beaten was just hidden in the shadow of the hair, so he couldn't see clearly.

Seeing Shen Che enter the door, Ji Cheng put down his book and pulled up the quilt, looking as if he was about to fall asleep: "Why did you come back so late? You said you were here with me to have a bath, but you yourself disappeared all day. "

Shen Che said: "As soon as you left, someone came from the palace. The emperor's illness became more and more serious. He called me into the palace to explain some things."

No wonder, it took half a day to run from Zhuangzi to the palace, and then come back from the palace, so it was so late.

Ji Cheng said softly, "Then have you had dinner yet?"

Shen Che said: "Where do you have time to eat, can you save it for me?"

Naturally they stayed, no matter whether Shen Che came back or not, Ji Cheng, a wife, couldn't let anyone find fault with her.She straightened her body slightly, and called Longan'er: "You go to serve the gentleman and have dinner in Xici room."

Shen Che sat by the bed and asked, "Aren't you going to get up and have dinner with me?"

Ji Cheng covered his mouth with the back of his hand and yawned: "I'm sleepy, you can eat by yourself."

Shen Che got up and said, "I'll go change my clothes first."

Ji Cheng said "hmm", and chatted with Shen Che behind the screen about the affairs in the palace without saying a word.In the future, that person should be the prince born by Huang Zhaoyi. Once the emperor and courtiers, I don't know how Shen Che's position will change.

Shen Che changed his clothes and came out, but he didn't see him going to eat, instead he sat on Ji Cheng's bedside again and asked, "Did anything happen today?"

Hearing Shen Che's question, Ji Cheng obviously knew something. She asked herself that she had a clear conscience today, and she was the one who should be wronged. Shen Che couldn't blame herself, so she said, "I raced horses with Ah Xun in the morning. When it was time, something went wrong, but fortunately, there was no danger."

Shen Che suppressed the smile on his face, and asked, "Is there nothing else?"

Ji Cheng thought for a while and said, "Nothing else happened."

"What about this one?" Shen Che poked Ji Cheng's swollen face with his finger.

The poke seemed quite forceful, and Ji Cheng hissed in pain: "Oh, take it easy."

"Your face is swollen like a pig's head, so you have nothing to say?" Shen Che asked coldly.

"How can it be so exaggerated?" How did you become a pig's head?Seeing that Ji Cheng couldn't hide it anymore, he simply sat up straight.

"Is there anything you want to say now?" Shen Che asked.

Looking at Shen Che's cold face, Ji Cheng became angry, and said with a dark face: "Don't you know everything? What else do I need to say? I didn't do anything, how do I know that Ah Xun is so good? Are you going to step forward and slap me? If you think there is something wrong, you can go to her to find out, ask me where I offended her, and I can apologize to her again, right? "

Shen Che didn't speak for a long time, and after a while he said: "It's obvious that she hit you, why do you need to apologize?"

It’s time to ask Ji Cheng this question, Ji Cheng thought to himself, it’s not all because of you protecting your weaknesses!It's just that Ji Cheng couldn't say this to Shen Che face to face, he slightly lowered his head and said, "It's always something I did wrong that made her angry."

Shen Che seemed very angry, ignored Ji Cheng, stood up and walked out.

Ji Cheng said, "Where are you going so late?"

"I'm going to eat." Shen Che said without looking back.

Ji Cheng was the only one left in the room sullen, and she felt extremely wronged.It's not easy to be a virtuous person, and you have to leave a smiling face to the other party when you are angry. Ji Cheng didn't expect Shen Che to comfort herself, but he was too partial, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Ji Cheng turned over and fell asleep, tears streaming down his eyes silently.I was startled and frightened during the day, and my heart was also tense after I came back. Now I fell asleep in a daze after crying.

But Ji Cheng didn't sleep deeply. When Shen Che gently wiped her face and applied medicine to her, she woke up, but she refused to open her eyes.
