Chapter 134 If Line: If Yuanyuan Becomes a Concubine (25)
Hearing this, the emperor frowned slightly and immediately controlled the reins to slow down the speed, "I am holding you, what am I afraid of?"
Yang Manyan didn't dare to refute and just shed tears silently.
Even though the horse slowed down, she was still terrified and her hands and feet were weak with fear.
After pondering for a moment, the emperor jumped off the horse holding her and pressed her into his arms again.
Seeing her crying with tears streaming down her face, he felt distressed and wanted to laugh for some reason. He bent down and kissed the tear marks on her cheeks.
"Why are you so timid? I was planning to teach you how to ride a horse." He joked in a deep voice.
With such a tiny courage, I wonder how she dared to have an affair with the prince behind his back.
Of course, the emperor only thought about this in his mind. If he said it out loud, his little queen would probably kneel down and apologize on the spot.
After Yang Manyan recovered, she finally had the heart to appreciate the magnificent scenery before her.
At the turn of spring and summer, the mountains and forests are particularly lush and green. Looking around, you can see vast fertile plains, and winding rivers surround them like jade belts.
She breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with the deep palace with endless vermilion walls, even the air here was exceptionally fresh and pleasant.
"This place is nearly twenty miles away from the palace. Is it possible for you to insist on riding a horse back?" The man's deep and mellow voice sounded above his head.
He originally thought of taking his beloved wife out for a walk alone, and maybe even spending some time with her, but the emperor did not even allow his guards to follow.
He was extremely regretful at this moment. If there had been a guard present, he would have ordered him to go back and summon a carriage to pick up the people.
It was impossible for him to ride back now. Not to mention that she would be scared being alone here, he himself was also worried.
This enclosure was specially used for hunting by the royal family. There were real birds and beasts, and even tigers roaming in the mountains and forests.
After hesitating for a long time, Yang Manyan still didn't dare to get on the horse again, so he had to ask cautiously: "Your Majesty, let's walk back, okay?"
It's more than ten miles, and if you walk faster, you may be able to finish it in more than an hour.
The emperor chuckled and raised his hand to pinch her fair and delicate cheek, "Okay, let's go back. I'll carry you on my back."
Before he finished speaking, he half-knelt down on one knee, "Come up quickly, Yuan'er."
But Yang Manyan paused, lowered her eyes, and said, "I dare not."
The emperor turned his head to look back at her, and said in a tone that could not be refused, "Good girl, come up, there are no outsiders here."
"As a husband, it is only natural for me to carry my wife on my back for a distance." He added in a deep voice.
After saying that, he simply pulled the girl onto his back, hooked her legs around his waist, and then strode back with her on his back.
The Arabian horses they rode were also quite smart. They followed them obediently all the way, even driving slowly on purpose, and occasionally nibbling on weeds along the way.
The man was tall and strong, with a strong physique. Although he walked very fast, every step he took was very steady.
Yang Manyan stared blankly for a while, his heart pounding.
Was she wrong? Did His Majesty really never intend to kill her?
She felt that the series of rewards the emperor had given to her and the Yang family were extremely unreal, and even suspected that it all originated from her father's tax reform.
But as the supreme ruler of the world, there was absolutely no need for him to carry her for nearly twenty miles just to accommodate her...
About an hour and a half later, the servants guarding outside the palace saw the emperor coming back with the queen on his back from afar, and they were all surprised.
They had heard that the Queen was highly favored by the Emperor, and today they finally saw it for themselves.
When they arrived at the Danning Palace where the couple lived together, the emperor insisted on going into the bedroom before putting the person down.
Just as Yang Manyan was about to bow and express his gratitude, the man eagerly pulled him onto the couch.
She couldn't dodge the dense and hot kisses that fell upon her. She just didn't understand why. "Your Majesty, what's wrong..."
Only then did she realize that the man had become interested without her noticing.
Feeling that she had just received a favor from the man, Yang Manyan did not resist at all and obeyed obediently.
The next afternoon.
Hearing that the Crown Prince and the King of Han were practicing archery at the shooting range in the palace, Yang Manyan hurriedly called his sister over.
There happened to be a small garden near the shooting range, and the two sisters could pretend to pass by and admire the flowers.
As for why she went along, it was naturally because she also wanted to see whether the King of Han could be a good match for her sister.
She didn't dare to trust her sister's opinion.
Surrounded by dozens of palace maids, Yang Manyan took his sister's arm and walked straight to the small garden, which was not far away.
As soon as they entered the small garden, the two sisters saw from afar two young men of similar stature standing side by side, holding bows and arrows.
One is the crown prince of the current dynasty, and the other is self-evident.
The King of Han was somewhat similar to the Crown Prince; he was gaunt and thin, with handsome features and a slightly sickly look, and his every move revealed a noble and cold demeanor.
If we compare the maternal families, Han Wang's biological mother, Concubine Zhang Shun, was from the Anqing Marquis Mansion, a family of military generals in this dynasty, while the Crown Prince's biological mother, Concubine Wei Shu, was just a palace maid.
However, this dynasty emphasizes the establishment of the eldest son as the legitimate heir. If there is no legitimate son, the eldest son is given priority in everything and the biological mother is not taken seriously.
The brothers were both very skilled archers, and every arrow hit the bull's eye.
Another quarter of an hour later, Xiao Yan noticed that there seemed to be someone in the small garden behind him, and he turned around suddenly to look.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he happened to meet a pair of clear, dark almond-shaped eyes. It was his queen, his stepmother, and also his beloved girl.
King Han also put down his bow and arrow and looked over.
Under the emperor's deliberate intervention, King Han has visited the palace many times recently, but he has not yet seen the true appearance of the new queen.
Xiao Yan was the first to step forward and bowed slowly and saluted, "Your son is here to see the Queen Mother. I didn't know you were coming, and I'm sorry for not coming to greet you."
"It's okay, please don't be so polite." Yang Manyan lowered his eyes slightly and did not look at him.
There was no extra interaction between the two, but there was an inexplicable atmosphere of ambiguity lingering around, which even Yang Jingzhen and King Han noticed.
