Su Xuerong couldn't understand why Xiao Yuan gave Yuan Jie'er a little horse until the evening when she realized Xiao Yuan's "scheme"!
It was all so that the little girl would get tired and go to bed early, so as not to disturb their time together...
Su Xuerong was speechless and poked Xiao Yuan's cheek: "Why are you arguing with your daughter?"
Xiao Yuan had long regarded Yuan Jie'er as his own daughter, sometimes even closer to her than himself.
Unexpectedly, this father was actually playing tricks on the little girl.
Xiao Yuan seized the opportunity to grab her hand and kiss it: "The hunt is in two days, isn't this just letting her get used to it beforehand?"
It was said that Yuan-jie was riding a horse, but in reality, Xiao Hong was just holding her while she rode, but it still allowed her to experience the joy of riding a horse.
Xiao Yuan said, "When I take you riding with me, the little guy won't bother us anymore..."
Su Xuerong: "..."
This man's "scheme" even included this.
If Yuan'er knew that her beloved father had plotted against her in this way, she would probably cry.
Su Xuerong laughed and said, "She'll definitely be annoyed with you when she grows up!"
"She learned how to protect herself from others from me, so she won't be bullied when she grows up. She'll thank me properly then."
Su Xuerong poked his cheek: "I didn't realize you had such a thick skin!"
She schemed against the child and then claimed it was for her own good.
Then let's wait for Sister Yuan to "thank" him in the future!
Soon, the hunting day arrived.
The hunting grounds were not far from the palace, so all the palace servants needed to do was set up temporary resting spots at the hunting grounds, and everyone would return to the palace in the evening.
Su Xuerong didn't let Chou Chou go with her. Instead, she had Granny Cheng take her to Zhou Shi's place, while she took Yuan Jie'er and Su Jian with her in the carriage.
Yuan Jie was overjoyed and kept waving at Xiao Hong from outside the window: "Xiao Hong, take me on the horse?"
Xiao Hong smiled and said, "Your Highness, you can only ride horses when we get to the hunting grounds!"
Su Xuerong said irritably, "Yuan'er, you're a young lady, can't you be a little more reserved?"
Yuan-jie glanced at Su Jian: "Even my brother can't ride a horse!"
Su Jian: "..."
Su Xuerong said, "Your father has already arranged a teacher for him, and he will be learning very soon."
Su Jian is almost seven years old this year. As long as he is willing to learn, he can learn quickly.
Upon hearing this, Su Jian immediately beamed with joy.
Yuanjie snorted, pouted, and looked unhappy: "I learned it first."
Looking at her competitive daughter, Su Xuerong couldn't help but laugh and say, "You're so shameless. Your little arms and legs can't even reach the reins and saddle."
Yuanjie got angry, crossed her arms, turned her head away, and said, "I'm not talking to you anymore."
Xiuchun couldn't help but laugh: "Your Highness is quite temperamental."
Su Xuerong ignored her, having been spoiled by Xiao Yuan these past few days.
Yuan Jie'er secretly glanced at Su Xuerong and found that she ignored her at all, instead pulling Su Jian's hand to the window and talking about the scenery outside.
The little girl pouted even more and deliberately hummed twice more.
But Su Xuerong acted as if she hadn't heard him.
Su Jian glanced at his cousin twice, and was about to speak when he heard his aunt say, "Jian-ge'er, what kind of horse do you want to ride later?"
Su Jian: "..."
How would I know?
"My horse is a prized steed from the Western Regions!"
Yuan Jie'er suddenly said smugly from the side.
Su Xuerong laughed and said, "Which of your father's horses wasn't a precious steed?"
Yuan Jie'er: "..."
Mother is biased!
Su Xuerong said to Su Jian, "Your uncle will definitely help you choose a top-quality horse!"
Fortunately, the hunting grounds weren't far away. Before Yuan-jie could even get angry anymore, she heard someone outside say, "Your Majesty, we've arrived."
Su Xuerong then led the two children off the carriage.
As soon as Yuanjie got off the carriage, she went straight to Xiaohong, who had just dismounted not far away: "Xiaohong, do I want to ride a horse?"
Su Xuerong said sternly, "No!"
They hadn't even reached the hunting grounds yet, and behind them were carriages and horses of ministers, all in a chaotic mess. What were they riding?
Yuan Jie looked aggrieved, her lips trembling as if she was about to cry, when she saw Su Jian run over, looking at her with envy, and ask, "Cousin, is this your BMW?"
Yuan-jie immediately stopped crying and said proudly, "Yes!"
Su Jian looked at the sturdy little red horse with envy: "That's wonderful!"
Xiao Hong noticed Su Xuerong's gaze and quickly said, "Your Highness, how about we take the young master riding horses together later?"
Yuanjie immediately said to Su Jian, "I'll let you ride my horse for a while later."
Su Jian immediately grinned from ear to ear: "Thank you so much, cousin..."
With Su Xuerong's permission, Xiao Hong carried the two children onto the horse and slowly headed towards the hunting grounds that were fenced off not far away.
Dozens of guards immediately followed closely behind, protecting them as they walked forward.
Su Xuerong led Xiuchun to the makeshift tent, and then they heard Cui Yun'er's voice: "Your Majesty!"
As soon as Su Xuerong turned around, she saw Cui Yun'er, dressed in Hu clothing, walking over with a heroic air.
She was immediately struck by how beautiful her outfit was: "Yun'er! You look absolutely gorgeous in this!"
Cui Yun'er blushed and said shyly, "Who in the world is as beautiful as Your Highness?"
Even when they were out in public, she still didn't dare to openly call her Arong.
Su Xuerong laughed and said, "Look at what you're saying. Does that mean there can't be any other beauties besides me?"
Cui Yun'er immediately felt a little awkward, and couldn't help but glance at a certain place behind her.
Following her gaze, Su Xuerong saw several grooms brushing and washing several fine horses.
