The black horse galloped wildly in the racecourse, and the woman's hearty laughter attracted the attention of the crowd who were competing in archery over there.
Xiao Yunchen looked at Li Sisi on horseback, wearing a long brocade dress with a waistline, galloping on the horse, with a hint of excitement and fieryness between her beautiful eyebrows.
It is as bright as the scorching sun, blinding people.
He stared blankly, gradually becoming lost in thought. His eyes, as calm as a lake, were now overflowing with tenderness, full of doting and passionate admiration.
Until the questions from his colleagues brought him back to his senses.
"Brother Xiao, that woman in the blue dress is your wife, right?"
Xiao Yunchen glanced sideways at his friend, a proud smile on his lips: "Yes, it's my wife."
The colleague looked at Xiao Yunchen's expression, then looked at the woman galloping on the horse farm.
It is hard not to see that Brother Xiao likes his wife very much.
Su Jingming came over and said to the two of them, "Hurry up, it's your turn. The loser will have to treat everyone to a banquet."
After hearing this, Xiao Yunchen turned around and continued to participate in the game.
The other side.
Li Nian originally planned for everyone to have some fun riding horses, but he didn't expect that this group of people would play so crazy.
She quietly stepped aside and just watched the fun.
After the people at the riding field ran several laps, they gradually lost interest and stopped their horses to rest aside.
Li Sisi had enough fun, so she pulled the reins and dismounted neatly.
The brocade skirt brushed against the saddle, dancing in a cloud-like arc.
She walked towards Li Nian, leading the horse, her beautiful eyes and eyebrows flying, looking full of energy.
"Nian Nian, why don't you play with us?"
Li Nian smiled faintly and replied, "Forget it. You guys are riding too fast. I'm not a good horseman. If I crash into the horse, I'm done."
"Sisi, you're such a great rider!" The princess rode over slowly, looking down at him. "You must come to the royal spring hunt on the 16th of this month."
"Spring Hunt?" Li Sisi's eyes lit up, but then she hesitated again: "Can I go to the Spring Hunt held by the royal family?"
"What are you afraid of? I invited you personally." The princess dismounted and her eyes fell on Li Nian. "I'll ask the clothing bureau to prepare red riding uniforms for you. It just so happens that my fourth brother recently found two Wuya horses, which are perfect for you."
When Li Nian heard that it was the Fourth Prince's horse, and thinking of the Fourth Prince's habit of collecting treasures, he hurriedly said, "Tongtong, there's no need to go to so much trouble. We can just pick a horse at random."
The princess threw the horse's reins to the attendant beside her and said to Li Nian, "Don't worry, Nian Nian. My fourth brother loves to collect but not to use his horses. Even the best horses would just be tied to the stable. Why don't we help him take them for a walk?"
Li Sisi nodded in agreement: "That's true." She looked at the princess and thanked her with a smile.
Then he advised Li Nian: "Since the princess has said so, why don't we just obey her orders? It's just for a day anyway."
The princess raised an eyebrow and nodded in agreement.
At this time, cheers came from the archery game.
Li Sisi turned her head and saw Xiao Yunchen shooting the last arrow. He looked calm and steady, not at all like the obedient boy he was in front of her.
The princess said mischievously, "Come over quickly! Lord Xiao is staring at Qiu Shui."
She had seen Xiao Yunchen turn his head to look at Li Sisi several times, as if he wanted to come over but couldn't.
Li Sisi felt a little embarrassed by the teasing, but still said goodbye to the princess with a smile.
Just as Li Nian was about to follow, he was stopped by the princess.
"Niannian, come sit with me over there so as not to interrupt the couple's loving time."
Li Sisi, who had just taken two steps, stopped and turned back when she heard this: "How can we be affectionate in public? I'll go say hello and be back in a moment."
Li Nian: "Then I'll wait for you here."
Li Sisi thought about it and nodded: "Okay."
After saying that, he strode happily towards Xiao Yunchen.
Xiao Yunchen saw her out of the corner of his eye and quickly turned around and walked towards her.
He reached out to straighten her messy hair and asked gently, "Did you enjoy your horseback riding today?"
Li Sisi nodded: "It's okay, but the venue is too small."
She couldn't wait to say, "The princess just invited me to the royal spring hunt!"
Xiao Yunchen frowned slightly upon hearing this. He still remembered his elder brother's words, "The princess likes women." Later, he had secretly investigated and found that the princess rarely interacted with men, but she had collected quite a few beautiful women in her mansion and villas.
The emperor and several princes all have such special hobbies, and only the fourth prince is slightly more normal.
Therefore, Xiao Yunchen did not want Li Sisi to have too much contact with the princess.
However, looking at his wife's excited look, and thinking about how she used to live so happily in the northwest, and now that she has returned to the capital and is restricted everywhere, he must be feeling depressed and unhappy.
Xiao Yunchen only hesitated for a moment before responding, "My lady, if you want to go out and play, go ahead. I'll go with you."
"Brother Xiao, don't just protect your wife and whisper to her!" A colleague and friend came over and said jokingly, "Su Jingming lost badly today and has already booked a table at Zuixian Pavilion."
He looked at Li Sisi and asked, "Second Madam, please come too?"
Li Sisi looked at the man who was eager to try and waved her hand to refuse: "No, you guys are just a bunch of men drinking and chatting, and I would spoil the fun if I went."
Facing Xiao Yunchen's gloomy eyes, Li Sisi explained, "Nian Nian is still waiting for me over there! We are going shopping later, you can go play with them."
Xiao Yunchen's dark eyes were filled with reluctance, and he said softly, "Then I'll let Ruliu and Rufeng follow you."
"Just let Rufeng follow, Nian Nian has Xiaohong with her!" Thinking of Xiao Yunchen's alcohol tolerance, she warned him, "Don't drink too much, okay? If I come home and find you drunk, you'll have to sleep in the study from now on."
"Yeah." Xiao Yunchen's lips curled up into a gentle smile, and his tone was obedient: "I don't drink, I just accompany them to get together."
Li Sisi raised her eyebrows: "That's more like it." She pushed him, "Go quickly, don't keep them waiting. I'm leaving now."
Xiao Yunchen watched her back as she ran away happily.
Until his colleague and friend patted him on the shoulder and said jokingly, "Alright, your eyes are almost glued to your wife's back. Hurry up and go! We're not going home until we're drunk tonight!"
Xiao Yunchen came back to his senses, turned around and walked back, saying, "I won't drink today."
Colleagues and friends followed him and advised: "How can that be possible..."
