Chapter 48 Dog Food Of course, the second sentence is Qi Buchen in...
Of course, the second sentence was what Qi Buchen muttered in his heart. Calling Yinzhen's name directly was very inappropriate.
At this moment, her expression looked a little confused, but more shocked.
The palace servant who came to report, observing the woman's feelings, did not try to guess what the concubine was feeling at the moment. He repeated what he had just said: "The master just saved a princess from the Bayan clan while harnessing the horses. Now, the princess and her father want to express their gratitude to the master. The master asked this servant to invite you over."
Qi Buchen stood up woodenly, not knowing what expression to make. It was just... he just felt that there was something magical about this matter.
Baozhu looked a little worried, but didn't say anything. She left some people to clean up and she accompanied Qi Buchen to where Yinzhen was.
There were quite a few people where Yinzhen was, and there were also people watching the fun scattered around.
A cup of tea earlier, the result of the horse-catching competition that Kangxi had spur of the moment came out. The winning horse was tamed by Arslan, who successfully won the prize set by Kangxi.
As soon as the evaluation and award ceremony was over, someone stood up to thank Kangxi for raising a brave and kind prince who saved the life of a person in danger.
This person was Baogen Taiji and his daughter, Wuliji Gege, the girl rescued by Yinzhen. Baogen Taiji repeatedly praised Yinzhen and Kangxi, and then expressed his gratitude for saving Yinzhen's life. Kangxi had no time for such a trivial matter, so he praised Yinzhen and let them handle it themselves.
Then Baogen and his daughter Wuliji stopped Yinzhen, repeatedly thanking and praising him, and then asking how they could repay him. Even though Yinzhen said it was just a small favor and there was no need to thank him, the father and daughter continued to pester him.
This attitude made the onlookers around chuckle and whisper to each other: He even asked Yinzhen how to repay him, which clearly means he wants his daughter to marry him.
When Qi Buchen arrived, Yinzhen's expression was still calm, but she could tell from some small movements and the lines of his lips that he was actually a little impatient. So much so that when he saw her, his tense shoulders drooped a little, which was a sign of relief.
"Master." After Qi Buchen and Yinzhen finished greeting each other, he looked at the father and daughter curiously and asked, "Who are these two?"
"This is Baogen Taiji and his daughter," Yinzhen said in a calm and serious tone. "I just helped Baogen Taiji a little bit, and he insisted on sending something to express his gratitude. I don't have any other ideas. Is there anything you would like?"
Qi Buchen's eyes wandered. Why did they ask her to ask for something right after she came? Moreover, the Baogen father and daughter clearly showed a hint of embarrassment and inexplicable emotions after she came.
"Excuse me, who is this person?" Baogen Taiji greeted Qi Buchen cautiously and asked.
Yinzhen remained expressionless. "This is my wife." He then looked at Qi Buchen, his tone noticeably warmer. "It's been getting colder these past two days. Do you feel cold at night? How about I get some leather to make you a blanket?"
The obvious message was for her to quickly put forward her conditions.
Although he still hadn't figured out what was going on, Qi Buchen readily agreed: "If you want to get some, get more. Bring some for mother and my brothers and sisters. They can be used to make clothes and blankets."
Yinzhen curled his lips slightly, looked at Baogen Taiji and said, "Taiji insisted on giving a thank-you gift, and I won't make it difficult for him. I'll ask him to collect a few boxes of leather materials and I'll take the original price."
Baogen Taiji quickly bowed and said, "It's just a thank you gift, how can I ask Fourth Prince to pay for it? Don't worry, Fourth Prince, I will deliver the gift tomorrow."
Yinzhen didn't argue with him about whether to pay or not. He was too lazy to bother with this man. He said without denying it, "Then I'll trouble you, Taiji. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."
Baogen Taiji couldn't stop him at this moment, so he could only move aside and said, "Farewell, Fourth Prince."
Yinzhen gestured to Qi Buchen to go, and the two walked side by side without saying a word, but Qi Buchen could still notice the occasional pointing and talking from others.
When they were farther away, she asked, "What happened?"
Yinzhen frowned slightly. "Just now, when I was harnessing the horses, the Taiji's daughter ran beside me. Someone tripped her and she was about to fall under my horse's hooves, so I pulled her back."
"Is someone targeting you?" This was Qi Buchen's first reaction. He had seen too many palace fights and succession struggles.
Yinzhen shook his head: "Probably not. They were targeting that Taiji's daughter. But she struggled a bit before falling off her horse, and finally lost control and fell towards me."
After being rejected, Qi Buchen's second reaction was whether this was a self-directed and self-acted drama by the Mongolian princess, in which Yinzhen rescued her, had physical contact with her, and then married her to Yinzhen.
"That princess has taken a fancy to you?" she asked, and her tone sounded just pure confusion, without any other emotion.
But Yinzhen choked suddenly: "Ahem..." He couldn't refute, he was not a fool. The Taiji named Baogen showed it so obviously, how could he not see it.
"The situation was quite dangerous at that time. If she had been caught under my horse's hooves, I might have fallen off." At that time, there were horses running at high speed all around. If she had fallen and been trampled by the horses, she would have been dead.
Yinzhen felt his explanation was quite convincing: "If I wasn't afraid of getting myself into trouble, I wouldn't bother with this matter. The person who attacked her clearly had ulterior motives."
"Uh." Qi Buchen looked at the situation. Did Yinzhen think she was jealous and wanted to explain why he saved her? She was a little amused. "I mean, could it be that the girl fell in love with you and... uh... directed and acted out this thing? But from what you just said, it seems that this possibility can be ruled out."
Looking at Fu Jin's smirk, Yin Zhen belatedly realized that his explanation seemed a bit silly. He embarrassedly said, "Well, I... that's what I meant! I've already asked someone to investigate the specific situation."
Qi Buchen couldn't help laughing at his immature and clumsy performance, but considering his face, she quickly looked back and changed the subject to hide her smile, which also helped Yinzhen get rid of his embarrassment: "By the way, why don't we see that Arslan? How about the tamed horse?"
Yinzhen was somewhat unhappy when he heard this question: "This time the herd is quite large, and the leading horses are quite good. Arslan tamed two horses, and after receiving the reward from the Emperor, he went to look for his fiancée."
Qi Buchen turned around and asked excitedly, "Two? The other one is for his fiancée?"
Yinzhen became even more depressed when he saw her performance and nodded: "Probably."
He had initially gone to join in the fun simply because the Emperor was interested, but while chasing after him, he spotted a clever pony and thought of catching it as a gift to his wife. This pony had been chosen at short notice and wasn't particularly talented. Who knew, because Wuliji was delayed, the pony was captured by another Mongolian princess's attendant.
Qi Buchen didn't notice it for a moment. She was still satisfied that she had found a bowl of sweet dog food. "I didn't expect that Arslan, who looks big and strong, is actually quite thoughtful."
It seems that Arslan cares a lot about Toya. I wonder if he knows about Toya's life experience and her embarrassing situation.
Qi Buchen's sigh made Yinzhen so depressed that he didn't want to talk anymore.
He was thinking, don’t I have a heart?
