Chapter 104 My father is also quite old

Shangguan Hong rode a date-red horse.

Her hair was tied up high, and she wore a ruby-woven headband on her forehead.

Although his face is a bit childish, his eyes and eyebrows are very unruly.

Shangguan Hong rode his horse and soon arrived at Shangguan Sui's window.

Shangguan Sui looked at him in shock.

"Aren't you only eight years old? How come you can ride a horse?"

Shangguan Hong answered quickly.

"My mother asked me to learn it. She said she wanted to find someone to play polo with her, so she threw me to the horse farm and told me not to return to the palace if I couldn't learn it. That's how I learned it."

Shangguan Sui's mouth twitched.

[Okay, this seems like something that Concubine De would do.]

Shangguan Hong squinted his eyes at Shangguan Sui, with an expression that looked like he was asking for compliments.

"Hey, Fifth Sister, am I really awesome~"

Before Shangguan Sui could reply, a huge horse with black mane appeared behind him.

After seeing the person on the horse clearly, Shangguan Sui's eyes widened again.

"Xiao Ziyuan, how come you can ride a horse now?"

[So now I’m the only one who can’t ride a horse! ]

Xiao Ziyuan chuckled, "I just learned it a while ago."

Shangguan Hong turned around and glared at Xiao Ziyuan.

Fifth sister was about to praise him just now, it was all because of this Xiao Ziyuan who ruined his good deed!

Shangguan Hong pulled the reins with one hand and winked at Shangguan Sui.

"Fifth sister, let me take you for a ride on horseback. It's so boring in the carriage."

At this moment, another warm and pleasant voice rang out.

"Fourth brother, stop joking. You are not good at horse riding. What if you fall on Fifth Sister?"

Shangguan Huai approached them on a white horse.

He looked at Shangguan Hong and continued, "You just learned how to ride a horse. If Fifth Sister wants to go out for some fresh air, why not let me ride the horse and take Fifth Sister with me?"

Shangguan Hong's defiant features were filled with dissatisfaction.

He shook his head and said, "No, I am very stable on the horse now."

"Third brother, your words don't count. Let Fifth Sister choose for herself. If she wants to take her out to play, please let her take her out to play."

They both looked at Shangguan Sui at the same time.

Shangguan Sui did not hesitate, "I choose the third brother!"

Shangguan Hong showed a very sad expression when he heard this.

Aaaaahhh!!!

He hated himself for being born so many years later!

Shangguan Huai was very happy.

He directly carried Shangguan Sui out of the carriage and placed her on the horse's back.

Shangguan Huai held the reins with both hands and held her in his arms.

He shouted softly, "Drive!"

The white horse immediately spread its hooves and galloped away.

Shangguan Hong still refused to accept the defeat and followed Shangguan Huai on horseback.

Xiao Ziyuan also immediately quickened his pace and caught up.

The air in early autumn is slightly chilly, the fragrance of grass and trees fills the air, and before you is a vast and distant view.

Shangguan Huai's riding speed was neither fast nor slow.

Shangguan Sui was very happy because of the stability with a little excitement of speed.

[This is my first time riding a horse. It’s so fun! ]

The little girl's silver bell-like laughter filled the air, very pleasant to the ears.

Xiao Ziyuan, who was following behind, couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this.

Shangguan Sui seemed to remember something and asked.

"Third brother, why don't I see Sister He? Didn't she come with us?"

Shangguan Huai shook his head gently, "No, Prime Minister He was ill recently, so she stayed in Beijing to take care of him."

Shangguan Sui nodded.

[I also heard from my father that Prime Minister He is a really good official. He cares about everything for the people and always does everything personally. No wonder he worked himself to death...]

The royal convoy soon arrived at the first rest station.

The hunting forest and mountains are far away from the capital, with two post stations and three palaces along the way.

Shangguan Sui played for too long the whole afternoon and was exhausted.

After entering the room, I threw myself directly onto the bed and fell asleep in the next second.

When I woke up, I found it was dark.

Shangguan Sui sat up from the bed and found that his coat had been taken off.

It must have been Concubine Chen who helped her take it off.

Qing Ping saw that she was awake, and hurried over to her, bowing and saying, "Princess, dinner is ready, do you want to eat now?"

Shangguan Sui rubbed his eyes and asked in a baby voice, "Where's my mother?"

Qingping pursed her lips and began to explain.

"The Emperor asked you and the Empress to have dinner in the evening, but you were sleeping soundly, so the Empress did not wake you up and went by herself..."

Shangguan Sui pursed his lips and complained in his heart.

[It's probably around 8 or 9 now. Can we have dinner until now? ]

[I'm afraid it's not just dinner...]

[Forget it, I'm just a five-year-old girl now, I'll just pretend I don't know anything.]

Shangguan Sui blinked at Qingping innocently, "Qingping, I'm hungry."

Qingping also immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the little princess did not continue to ask, otherwise she really didn’t know how to explain it to the little princess…

The servants quickly brought dinner.

After Shangguan Sui finished her dinner, Qingping played with her for a while.

The Concubine Chen hasn't come back yet.

[Okay, I guess I won’t be back tonight.]

[I hope my father won’t get sick from exhaustion. After all, he’s already quite old…]

Shangguan Sui yawned, crawled into his quilt and fell asleep again.

late at night.

Shangguan Sui slept for a while and then woke up by himself.

[Ah, I slept too much in the afternoon, and now I can’t fall asleep. ]

She closed her eyes and began counting in her mind.

One osmanthus cake, two osmanthus cakes, three osmanthus cakes...

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of her.

The cold silver light stung her eyes.

Shangguan Sui opened her eyes immediately, just in time to see the sword that was about to stab her.

She immediately started screaming!

"ah!!!!"

The man in black was startled by her sudden eye blink.

I never thought that Shangguan Sui was not asleep!

It was this moment of distraction that gave Shangguan Sui time to react, and she immediately dodged to the side.

At the same time, he continued to shout outside at the top of his lungs.

"Help! Help!"

The child's voice was particularly sharp, and when she screamed for the first time, people outside were startled.

This time the servants broke into the room directly.

Seeing that things were not going well, the man in black put away his dagger, turned around and jumped out of the window next to him.

The guards rushed to the window, but found that the man had disappeared in just a moment.

The guard commander ordered anxiously: "Go search!"

Qing Ping stepped forward in panic, and asked in a trembling voice, "Fifth Princess, are you okay?"

Shangguan Sui shook his head lightly and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine..."

"What? Something happened to the fifth sister? Who is so bold as to hurt the fifth sister?"

Shangguan Hong lived not far from Shangguan Sui. At this moment, he rushed over in a hurry wearing an outer robe.

Behind him followed Concubine De.

Concubine De had a serious expression on her face, and she was holding a sword in her hand.

After seeing Shangguan Sui, her expression turned gentle and worried: "Fifth Princess, are you okay?"
