Colorful

Chapter 33
Among this group of young girls, only Han Shangshu has entered the official career through the imperial examination. Although the daughter of the Han family is very famous for her talent, her riding and archery is very ordinary.So Han Lingze couldn't even be counted as being able to ride a horse. She had to have a groom leading the horse in front of her.

So Han Ling said with a smile: "I won't go, I'm not very good at riding a horse."

Wang Yueniang walked over and hugged Han Lingze's arm and said, "Sister Han, let's go with us. It's fun when everyone is together. If you don't go, we won't go either."

Han Lingze was reluctantly dragged away by Wang Yueniang.

Looking at Han Lingze's expression, Ji Cheng knew that she really didn't know how to ride a horse, and she didn't want to make a fool of herself, but Wang Yueniang thought that she was kind and enthusiastic, and insisted on forcing Han Lingze to go, which was really embarrassing.

Knowing that they will be able to ride horses today, Ji Cheng and the others had their horses taken to the other courtyard of the Wang family by grooms, but Han Ling didn't have a horse, so Wang Yueniang gave her his horse.

This is really doing bad things with good intentions.Wang Yueniang's horse was as arrogant and irritable as her, but Han Ling felt scared when he saw the tallest horse, and Wang Yueniang kept telling her not to be afraid.

In the end, Han Ling finally got on the horse tremblingly, not daring to move at all. Seeing her frightened, Ji Cheng's hairs stood on end.If it's not easy for a person to fall off the horse, it's good to die, but it's a pity if he falls disabled.

Riding a horse alone is of course no fun. The Wang sisters like to compete in everything, and the loser is punished with a song or a dance.

Although this group of girls are good at singing and dancing, but because they are punished for singing and dancing, they can't face it, so no one wants to be judged after losing.

Ji Cheng felt that horse racing with this group of girls was really meaningless. She had already been in the limelight when she was pounding the ball just now, and now she can't be in the limelight again. It was originally a last resort, and she couldn't let the Shen family lose and make the Wang family sisters look down on her. .

"I won't participate, I'll cheer you on from the sidelines! I was too nervous when I pounded the pill just now, and my hands are still shaking now." Ji Cheng said.

Wang Yueniang cast a sideways glance at Ji Cheng, curled her lips and said, "Miss Ji is afraid of losing, isn't she?"

Ji Cheng followed Wang Yueniang's words and said, "My riding skills are so-so, I dare not make a fool of myself."

"Won't it be false modesty again?"

Wang Yueniang's words were too explicit, Wang Siniang scolded: "Yueniang, you are a guest, what does auntie teach you?"

Wang Yueniang was naturally even more unhappy when she was reprimanded by Wang Siniang in public, she pouted and said in a low voice, "Who cares about her being a guest?"

It was really ugly to say this, but her voice was very low, and when everyone heard it, they couldn't understand her as well, so Ji Cheng just pretended that he had bad ears.

After Wang Siniang and others rode their horses away, only Ji Cheng and Han Ling were left on the spot riding side by side.Han Lingze was standing next to Wang Yueniang just now, and naturally heard her words, she said to Ji Cheng embarrassedly: "Yueniang is a straight-hearted person, but she doesn't have any evil intentions."

Ji Cheng looked at Han Lingze with a smile. This girl Han is really a good person who likes to make friends. If Wang Yueniang is outspoken, isn't it true that Ji Cheng is the guest who shouldn't be here?As for whether Wang Yueniang's heart is bad or not, it's hard to say.

"I didn't take it to heart, she's still young." Ji Cheng said, meaning he didn't have the same knowledge as Wang Yueniang.Actually, how much younger can Wang Yueniang be than Ji Cheng?
"Miss Ji doesn't like riding horses either?" Han Ling looked at Ji Cheng and said, seeing that Ji Cheng's horse was almost motionless, she thought she was the same as herself.

Ji Cheng was actually just trying to accommodate Han Lingze.

"Actually, I quite like it. When galloping on a horse, it feels very free, as if the world can't bind you anymore." Ji Cheng said.

"Really?" Han Ling was skeptical. Her father studied hard for 30 years before he passed the Jinshi exam. His bookishness has turned into a bookish one. He wants a woman who is chaste, quiet and peaceful. If it weren't for Han Ling, he would have reached the age of marriage , he will not let her out as a guest.

Ji Cheng turned his head and looked at Han Lingze carefully. She was born average, at best she could be called delicate, and she rarely looked directly into each other's eyes, which showed that she was relatively introverted and even had a little low self-esteem.He is cowardly and everyone wants to get along well. How can such a person fall into the eyes of the Wang family sisters?
Ji Cheng couldn't help thinking of Han Lingze's father, Han Chenglin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.Concubine Wang Shu probably wanted to win over Han Shangshu to accumulate more bargaining chips for the eldest prince to ascend the throne in the future, but Ji Cheng didn't think that a Han order could affect her father's decision.

But Ji Cheng also has evil tastes, she also thinks about the people the Wang family sisters want to win over, there is absolutely no harm anyway.But to abduct a young girl like Han Ling, who has no experience in the world, Ji Cheng still has a way.

So Ji Cheng blinked at Han Lingze: "Do you want to try?"

Han Ling shook his head again and again: "No, no, I'll forget it, I can't ride well."

Ji Cheng said: "It doesn't matter, let's ride together, and I will take you for a run."

Han Ling couldn't help but feel a little tempted when he heard the words.Her father was like an old master, and he felt it was shameful for a man to teach her how to ride a horse. However, Han Lingze's older sisters were all married and they didn't know how to ride a horse themselves, so she never really learned how to ride a horse.

But today Han Ling saw that sisters from the Wang family, sisters from the Shen family and sisters from the Xue family could ride horses and punch balls.

"Let's go, I'll take you around first, if you feel unwell, just tell me." Ji Cheng smiled.

Han Ling saw Ji Cheng's bright and sincere smile, and seemed to be very confident, so he nodded, but asked worriedly, "Aren't your hands shaking?"

Ji Cheng raised his hand playfully and said, "I didn't shake at all, but they were too embarrassed to win just now." The best way to conquer a little girl like Han Lingze, who is used to looking up and listening to orders, is to show herself With her ability, she was naturally convinced.

Han Ling burst out laughing when he heard that, but he still didn't quite believe Ji Cheng. In her heart, the sisters of the Wang family, especially Wang Siniang, were really god-like people.

As for Ji Cheng, although she was also born with a beauty like a fairy, she looked delicate and weak, like cherry blossoms in the mountains, so pink and tender that they would fly off in pieces when the wind blows.

Ji Cheng got off his horse and stretched out his hand to meet Han Lingze: "Ride on my horse. It's faster. I'm sure I'll arrive before them."

Han Ling looked at Ji Cheng's inconspicuous little Huihui, and shook his head this time: "We're not in a hurry." She was doing it for Ji Cheng's sake, Wang Siniang and the others had already set off for a while, and Ji Cheng It was impossible for the horse to catch up with them.

Ji Cheng smiled and said nothing, and helped Han Lingze to get on Xiaohuihui. Then she got on the horse again and sat in front of Han Lingze. She took off her cloak and wrapped it around her and Han Lingze's waists. Tie them together, and then said: "You can hold me tight."

Han Ling nodded emphatically, "Yes."

At the beginning, Ji Cheng just lightly pinched the horse's stomach, and Xiao Huihui started to trot lazily. Smoking Xiao Huihui's ass.

Flying through the clouds and riding the fog is the feeling that every mortal looks forward to. Galloping on horseback is probably the closest to this feeling. Of course, there is another kind, that is the legend in Ji Cheng's heart - lightness kung fu.

At this moment, Han Ling felt for the first time in his life that his face was hurt by the whistling wind, but his heart was excited. She hugged Ji Cheng's waist tightly, hid her face behind her, and looked sideways. She looked at the trees on the roadside flying backwards at a speed that her eyes couldn't see. Several times she clearly saw that the branches on the roadside were about to blow Ji Cheng and herself, and she was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes, but Nothing happened when I opened my eyes.

A brook appeared not far ahead, Ji Cheng yelled "Hold tight", and then Han Ling felt that Xiao Huihui was galloping all over, jumping over the brook about three feet wide, She felt like she was about to fly into the sky.

Han Ling screamed "ah" in shock and fright, and then started laughing "giggle".

When Xiao Huihui slowed down and stopped, Ji Cheng untied the cloak around his waist and got off his horse and asked Han Lingze, "How do you feel?"

Han Ling was standing unsteadily, leaning on the tree: "It's okay."

Ji Cheng said: "You are already very good. Many people will throw up when they ride such a fast horse for the first time. It shows that you are very suitable for riding a horse."

Han Ling's face beamed with joy: "Really?"

"Yeah." Ji Cheng nodded.

Han Ling leaned against the tree for a while before recovering, and sighed a long time: "Riding a horse is really fun."

Ji Cheng said, "If you like, I can teach you."

Han Ling responded immediately, but looking at the sky, he knew that there was no time for today, so he could only look at Ji Cheng with regret.

"It's okay, I'll teach you next time you come to Jingyuan to play." Ji Cheng said.

After all this time, Ji Cheng and Han Lingze have almost become good friends who talk about everything, and of course the one who talks about everything is usually Han Lingze.

When Wang Siniang and the others came back from the horse race and noticed the tacit understanding between Ji Cheng and Han Lingze, Wang Siniang couldn't help but look at Ji Cheng several times.

Wang Yueniang's face was full of anger, she couldn't hide her anger, she just snorted coldly, threw the whip to the groom, turned her head and went to the side.

Shen Cui walked up to Ji Cheng with a smug look and deciphered it for her: "Don't pay attention to her, she lost the horse race, and she doesn't like anyone."

Ji Cheng asked, "Which one of you won?"

Shen Cui straightened her chest, raised her chin, and put on a proud expression of "how obvious".

Wang Siniang came over and said: "The red horse that Ah Cui is riding is really a horse of thousands of miles. Yue Niang has been yelling for my brother to find her a horse, but such a horse is extremely rare, and you can find it wherever you look for it." ? I heard that this horse belongs to Miss Ji, where did Miss Ji find it?"

Ji Cheng murmured to himself, why did Wang Siniang's tone sound like she wanted to give up her love?
"Cousin Jing asked my father to find this horse for him, and it is kept in the quiet garden. Cousin Jing is useless today, so Fifth Younger Sister rode it." Ji Cheng said.

Although this horse was indeed intended for Shen Jing, firstly, it was not asked by Shen Jing, and secondly, Shen Cui didn't know this yet, but Shen Cui understood Ji Cheng's words in an instant, and did not expose Ji Cheng. Cheng.

Wang Siniang stared at Ji Cheng again, she really didn't know what was good and bad, she wanted to turn hostility into jade to give her a step down, but he was so stupid that he didn't appreciate it.

After Shen Xian and the others left, Wang Yueniang could no longer hold back and complained to Wang Siniang angrily: "I shouldn't have invited Ji Cheng, who is the son of a bitch, what is she, and she deserves to come into our house? It's because my sister is too kind. Besides Let's not be afraid of Shen Xian, so if we don't get in touch, we won't get out."

Wang Siniang glared at the useless Wang Yueniang. This girl's heart is smaller than the tip of a needle, and she has no overall perspective: "It's not all smooth sailing for Your Majesty in the palace. We broke up with Shen Yuan. The old lady of the Shen family is famous Protecting our shortcomings will alienate our two families. If you can't bear this tone, when the matter of the empress is settled in the future, you can vent your anger as you want, okay?"

Wang Yueniang calmed down a little when she heard this, but she couldn't help but said: "When are we going to wait? Didn't you keep saying that the emperor's dragon body is not in good health? Why don't you..."

Wang Siniang covered Wang Yueniang's mouth: "What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful to be heard."

Wang Yueniang pushed away Wang Siniang's hand and said, "There is no one here, how could someone else hear it?"

Wang Siniang really wanted to scold "idiots": "The Emperor has a Jingshi Army by his side, who specialize in inquiring about news from all sides, and they do countless secret jobs. Let alone what you said, it's just what you ate the night before and how many times you went to bed. They all know about the hut."

"There is such a god?" Wang Yueniang didn't believe it, "Why have I never heard of it?"

Wang Siniang said: "Of course you haven't heard of it, even the empress only found out about it recently, and the emperor accidentally let it out after drinking."

It turned out that the Jingshi Army was established during the time of the Taizu. In the war-torn era, they were responsible for investigating the military situation of all parties, and they made great contributions to the Taizu's victory. It can even be said that without them, there would be no Daqin today.

After the Taizu pacified the country, the Jing Shi Army turned behind the scenes. Many people thought that there was no such team, but in fact they still existed, but the things they investigated had turned into the affairs of the subjects of the dynasty. Whenever there was any change, they would It will be reported to the emperor for decision.Moreover, their highest officials hold the imperial decree of Taizu in their hands, and they have the power to kill all officials below the first rank on the spot.

Because this kind of power was too terrifying, Taizu was also afraid that they would make people panic after they became a big power, so Jing Shijun could only act in the dark all the time, and not many people knew about it.

"I heard that Jing Shijun is full of capable men and strangers, as well as masters of the rivers and lakes, with all kinds of skills. The emperor said that when the former emperor heard that Princess Kucha was stunning, he wanted to kiss Fangze, so Jing Shijun quietly took the princess from the palace. Kucha Kingdom stole her back, and sent her back quietly after one night. The princess herself didn't even know who stole her." Wang Siniang said.

Emperor Jianping was envious of such an affair, but unfortunately he was in poor health and was too lazy to work in his own harem, let alone the beauty from the Western Regions.

This kind of "stealing" story is much more attractive to Wang Yueniang than that kind of investigation, and she couldn't help sighing: "This is too ridiculous."

"Absurd is absurd, but you should know to be careful with your mouth, right? Don't say anything you shouldn't say." Wang Siniang said.

"Got it." Wang Yueniang said in a drawn out voice, "But Fourth Sister, have you seen Shen Cui's humble appearance? Didn't she just win once, as for making her happy like that? It's really contemptuous."

Wang Siniang curled her lips and said: "Compared to Shen Xian and Shen Xun, she is far behind, her vision is small, and she has the same virtue as her mother, and people from small places are like this."

"It's just that she's too annoying." Wang Yueniang said, she just couldn't get angry with Shen Cui to stab her.

"En." Wang Siniang replied, "This year's middle school competition will start soon, and Shen Cui will definitely sign up too. You just need to beat her once in front of everyone. Look. Will she dare to show off in front of us in the future?"

Wang Yueniang nodded, she is very sure about this year's Chinese Academy of Arts selection.

The so-called Zhongtan talent selection is actually the selection of people who will perform in the Zhongtan in the finals of the polo season.Every year, the people who can reach this stage are all talented people who are envied wherever they go. Wang Siniang herself is the beneficiary, otherwise she would not have the current status among the girls in the capital.

For Wang Siniang, the only trouble in her life is marriage.Before Concubine Wang Shu entered the palace, the Wang family was just a shabby household, and Wang Siniang was engaged.But after Concubine Wang Shu entered the palace, she became a concubine in less than a year, and she soon became pregnant. The Wang family also followed the tide and returned to the ranks of the aristocratic family. However, their family could not see the marriage that was arranged for Wang Siniang before. He went to bed, and tried every means to force the other party to withdraw the kiss quietly.

But there is no wall that does not leak in the world, and there are still people who know about the Wang family's divorce.That's why the eldest princess never let go of her promise of marriage to Shen Che.Even if Concubine Shu came forward, it was useless, it was the matter of Wang Siniang's resignation that blocked Concubine Wang Shu's mouth.

Thinking of this, Wang Siniang couldn't help blaming Shen Che again, what an enemy, if he was willing to take the initiative and talk to the eldest princess, their marriage would definitely come true.

Could it be that Wang Siniang's thoughts are not Wang Yueniang's?Wang Yueniang has a selfish love for Shen Che, but she dare not speak up, and she has to hide it from Wang Siniang. This time, she must win the Zhongtan art selection, so that her sister can't marry into the Shen family because she retired, but she herself is OK.

The two sisters hid their thoughts, chatted for a while and then broke up.
