Hu Chengen was getting a little impatient. "Don't worry, Lord Wei. The soldiers found a lot of hay outside. They were originally going to feed the horses. When the horses couldn't finish it, they used it to make beans and distributed it to the people."
Wei Xiyin was waiting for these words from him.
When she heard him mention hay, she had already thought that it was used to feed horses.
Chu Yu and his companions were under someone else's nose, which made it quite inconvenient for them to move around. Instead of investigating secretly, it would be better to go and see it openly.
Wei Xiyin pretended to be ignorant of worldly affairs, her eyes lighting up. "The horses actually eat better than the common people. They must be well-fed. I haven't seen a normal horse in a long time. I wonder if His Highness would be willing to give us a few horses when the time comes."
Hu Chengen was suddenly choked.
This Madam Wei is so shameless that she actually dares to take their war horses!
Wei Xiyin ignored him and said to the princess anxiously, "Princess, this place is dirty and smelly, there's nothing to see. Take me to see the horses. I want to ride a horse."
Qin Shan, who was following behind, was silent. The girl's words sounded a bit like Erlang Jun.
The princess was silent for a moment, then instructed Mr. Hu, "Since there is so much hay, Mr. Hu, there is no need to limit the amount. Let the people have a full meal today."
The people who were queuing up to receive food reacted to her words and looked up at their princess with a hint of gratitude in their eyes.
Hu Cheng'en was still in shock that Madam Wei was going to see their war horses, and didn't pay any attention to what the princess said.
War horses are so precious, how can we allow outsiders to go to the horse farm?
He refused without hesitation, "No, if Madam Wei wants to ride a horse, then just have the soldiers bring one out. The stables are a key military location, so how can we let anyone in casually?"
Wei Xiyin didn't argue with him and raised her chin. "Then go ahead and get them. I want three horses. My cousin wants one too."
Wei Li apologized, "My sister is ignorant and has caused trouble for Mr. Hu." He didn't even refuse.
The princess said with a cold face, "What? Mr. Hu ignored what I said?"
Hu Chengen: “…”
He felt overwhelmed and immediately lowered his eyes and bowed, "I dare not."
I only have one mouth to deal with two young ladies at the same time.
Yuan Yuwan was personally conferred the title of princess by His Majesty. Even if His Highness succeeded to the throne and hated his legitimate sister, the subordinates would not dare to disobey her.
The two women thought they wouldn't cause any trouble in the city, so Hu Cheng'en didn't mind giving the princess a favor. His expression returned to normal, "Your Highness is absolutely right. Then, there will be no limit today, so these people can have a full meal."
The people not far away showed gratitude upon hearing this and knelt down to thank the princess.
In front of the greenhouse, a large group of people were kneeling on the ground.
Times are tough, and having a full meal is a blessing for the common people. How can they not be grateful that the princess is thinking of them?
Hu Cheng'en's eyes were subtle and thoughtful, but he said nothing in the end and said goodbye to the princess.
Before leaving, he ordered his confidant to go to the stable to get the horse.
Wei Xiyin silently watched the direction the soldier left.
It is indeed in the south.
As soon as Hu Chengen left, his four subordinates finally put away their luggage and returned, accompanied by Cheng Xiu.
Chu Yu still did not show up.
There were people from the guard camp following behind them, so they didn't dare to talk and just stood aside and waited silently.
Seeing the princess staring at them, the soldiers in the greenhouse dared not shake their hands, and almost every civilian who came forward had a large bowl of porridge in their bowl.
Some people received their meals, sat on the ground under the eaves, wolfed down their food in a few mouthfuls, and then hurriedly picked up their bowls to queue up.
The princess said there is no limit on food today, so we must eat as much as we can!
So much so that even after half a day, the number of people in front of the greenhouse had not decreased at all.
The soldiers knew that this was the princess's order and Mr. Hu also agreed, so they dared not disobey. Seeing that the food in the pot was almost gone, they had to send someone to light a fire and cook.
Large pots filled with porridge were brought in and placed on the table.
The people did not fight for it, but lined up in four rows and moved forward with the crowd.
Wei Li whispered, "Fifth cousin, there are about four thousand people here."
The long line seemed to have no end and had already extended to the next street. Wei Li counted for a long time before he came up with an approximate number.
Upon hearing this, the princess couldn't help but look up at him. Their eyes met and accidentally bumped into each other. They were both stunned for a moment and turned their heads away awkwardly.
Wei Xiyin, who was standing between the two of them: “………”, seemed redundant.
She coughed lightly and said softly, "My Lady, how long are we going to stand here? I'm a little tired."
The guards behind him were speechless. "Didn't you ask to ride a horse? Why are you complaining about being tired now?"
When it comes to riding in the hot summer, Madam Wei really has the wit to do whatever she wants.
The princess was silent. She really didn't know how to respond.
What if I say something wrong and end up hurting the girl?
Fortunately, it didn't take long before soldiers came from the south leading three horses.
The people who were blocking the road made way for the horses to pass.
The soldier quickly came up to them, leading his horse.
It was obvious at first glance that the three horses were good horses, with well-proportioned bodies, strong and powerful muscles, long necks and proud heads, and bright and smooth hair that gleamed in the sun.
Because the horses were for nobles to ride, the soldiers selected good horses with gentle temperaments and upright postures.
Among the many horses in the stable, he is one in a hundred.
Wei Xiyin remained calm and said, "I don't feel like riding anymore. Take the horse back to our yard and ride it tomorrow."
The soldier in charge of transporting the horses: “…”
Seeing that no one moved, she looked displeased, "Didn't you hear me?! Take it over and let my people watch it. I want to ride it tomorrow."
The soldier hesitated and said, "My dear, horses are familiar with their pens. If we leave them in the yard, they might run back in the middle of the night..."
"We're in the city, what are you afraid of? The city gates are closed now, and the horses can't escape." Wei Xiyin didn't care. "You don't have to worry. If they dare to escape, I'll kill them all. I won't ride horses tomorrow. I'll eat roasted horse meat instead."
The soldier shuddered with fear.
That's why he's worried!!!
The horses are all good horses and are more valuable than his life. If he really lets Madam Wei kill them, he is afraid that his life will be in danger.
The soldier looked at the princess for help.
The princess said kindly, "Madam Wei was just joking with you. War horses are very valuable these days. Don't worry, she will return the horse after she has had enough fun with it for a few days."
After all, he is the princess's savior, and Mr. Hu has agreed, so what else can they do?
Now that it has been brought here, it is impossible to take it back immediately.
The soldier handed over the horse to Wei's troops in fear and left, looking back every few steps.
Seeing that the soldiers from the guard camp were far away, Wei Xiyin calmly handed the written note to Cheng Xiu.
Cheng Xiu took it and put it in his sleeve.
"Go, take the horse into the yard and keep an eye on it. I'll go out again tomorrow."
"Yes!" Cheng Xiu bowed and took his leave, leading the three horses away.
