After returning to the mansion and looking at her own gate, before Lin Xiaoman could express any emotion, she saw Yu Ziqian walking out of the gate first, walking quickly to the side of the carriage, lifting the curtain in front of her, and leaning over to look inside. It was obvious from his posture that he was looking for something.
This year, in addition to sending a letter to Lin Xiaoman, Yu Ziqian also sent a letter to General Yu. In the letter to General Yu, Yu Ziqian bluntly asked, "Has the Crown Princess looked for the young servant?" Then he was scolded by General Yu again.
General Yu: Your Highness is the future crown prince, so what's wrong with having a few servants? This is normal! Your Highness can't just stay with you, the legitimate ruler! If you keep being so jealous and petty, I'll whip you when I get back!
At the end of General Yu's reply, he included a lengthy speech on the virtues of a man.
Yu Ziqian read the letter back and forth several times, and the meaning he deciphered was: The Crown Princess is looking for a young servant in the local area! I'm afraid it's not just one, after all, the south is rich in beauties, and he will have more brothers when he returns.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get! I was so angry I couldn't sleep for several nights!
As soon as Lin Xiaoman came back, he came to arrest people.
However, there was so little space in the carriage that it was obvious that there was no one inside.
"What are you looking for?" Lin Xiaoman was confused.
"Nothing!" Yu Ziqian was not stupid enough to say what he was thinking. Instead, he looked at the accompanying team calmly. He scanned the area but did not find any new faces.
There are still the same few male guards in the accompanying team.
Could this guy be catching a mistress? Lin Xiaoman, who had realized what was happening, was silently frowning, but then she felt lucky that she had been so quick-witted and had gotten the original owner to give up Zhou Tianle. Otherwise, there would have been a huge uproar!
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoman clapped his hands and shouted, "Qingfeng, bring Dilu over here."
Di Lu? A man? Where is he hiding?! Yu Ziqian was suspicious when he saw Qingfeng coming from behind, leading a horse.
The pure black horse was exceptionally majestic, just like the poem, "The Hu horse is named Dayuan, with sharp edges and thin bones. Its ears are as sharp as bamboo, and its hooves are light as the wind."
At the first sight, Yu Ziqian's eyes lit up, and then his gaze seemed to be glued and he couldn't move away.
What a good horse!
Judging from the appearance, it is comparable to the Crown Princess's mount, the Ferghana horse bestowed by the emperor!
You know, Yu Ziqian has been coveting Lin Xiaoman's Ferghana horse for a long time. This time Lin Xiaoman went out and rode the horse away, and he has been thinking about it every day.
"This..." Yu Ziqian stared at Lu with burning eyes, full of anticipation.
"Yes, a gift!"
Lin Xiaoman gave a look and Qingfeng handed the reins to Yu Ziqian.
"A gift for me?" Yu Ziqian was surprised. He quickly took the reins with one hand and stroked it with the other.
Absolutely can't put it down.
"Yeah." Lin Xiaoman nodded with a smile.
"Where did it come from?" After touching it, Yu Ziqian became more certain that this horse was probably more powerful than Lin Xiaoman's Arabian horse.
"On the way from the south to the north, we passed through the grassland and encountered a group of wild horses. I couldn't help but harness a few horses." Lin Xiaoman explained.
With so many horses galloping across the weeds, it would be a shame not to catch a few! Furthermore, we encountered several waves of wild horses.
"This one, which I named Lu, is the king of all the wild horses!" Lin Xiaoman said proudly, "Your mother also had a crush on him, but it's a pity that I tamed him first."
When he heard that it was about harnessing wild horses on the grassland, Yu Ziqian was full of longing as he imagined the scene. Uh, wait, his mother was also interested?
For some reason, Yu Ziqian had a bad feeling.
Lin Xiaoman continued, "Oh, by the way, your mother asked me for it at that time, but I didn't give it to her. I said I wanted to give it to you. If you are willing to give it to her, I have no objection."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Ziqian's face immediately turned black. His mother was so shameless that she would definitely ask him for it!
Damn, how could it be a gift for him?!
I'll give it to him tomorrow... See! His mother will come and ask for it back from him tomorrow at the latest.
"Did you do this on purpose?" Yu Ziqian was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. Not only did he not see the Dilu, but he also wanted to give it away after it was given to him. It was simply trying to kill him!
"What, you don't like it?" Lin Xiaoman pretended to be confused and asked, "Then I'll give it to General Yu."
"You, you, you..." Yu Ziqian was so angry that he finally grabbed the reins and said, "It's mine!"
As if he was afraid that Lin Xiaoman would go back on his word, Yu Ziqian led the horse and went straight into the mansion.
As he walked, he was still thinking, he had to find a way to keep Lu here. Otherwise, when his mother came, he pretended to be sick and didn't go away?
Yong Lu sent Yu Ziqian away, and Lin Xiaoman entered the mansion, took a bath, washed up, and had a meal, and then went to the palace. He really had no time to rest.
After entering the palace and arriving at the imperial study, Lin Xiaoman reported the relevant situation to the empress. About a quarter of an hour later, General Yu also arrived, and the two of them reported together. After another hour, the little princess arrived late, and then the three of them reported together.
Dinner was eaten in the imperial study, and the report meeting was finally over when the bright moon hung high in the sky.
Because they had to attend the morning court tomorrow, Lin Xiaoman and Sister Wang stayed overnight in the palace, while General Yu had to return home in misery and had to get up and attend the court after not sleeping for long.
The next day, with the return of the Crown Princess, the Second Princess, and General Yu, the court discussed the situation in the south and the north.
Today's morning court session didn't end until noon.
After the court was dismissed, Lin Xiaoman prepared to go home for dinner. However, before he could take two steps, General Yu came up to him and said, "Your Highness, I haven't seen my son for a long time. I miss him very much. I wonder if this old minister could come to your residence for lunch?"
"Of course, it's an honor."
Lin Xiaoman agreed immediately. Haha, what do you mean by missing your son? You are thinking about Lu, right?
Lin Xiaoman and General Yu came back together. As soon as they entered the mansion, the news reached Yu Ziqian's ears.
Here we come!
Realizing that he was about to lose the Horse King title he had just acquired, Yu Ziqian lay down on the bed and instructed the servant, "When His Highness and my mother come, tell them that I have caught a cold and that the illness is spreading rapidly. I won't see anyone!"
Lin Xiaoman and General Yu went to the dining hall together and ordered the meal. Lin Xiaoman then asked someone to invite Yu Ziqian, but then he received the reply that he was sick.
The reason was quite convincing. Yu Ziqian said: When you entered the palace yesterday, I went out for horseback riding. I was probably caught in a cold wind, so I got sick.
"Ah? Then we have to see a doctor for a closer look." Lin Xiaoman looked worried, like a dramatic actor.
"Your Highness, Ziqian is in good health and is definitely fine. I am a good doctor, so I will go and check on him later."
General Yu had a fake smile on his face, "You little bastard, you knew she was coming and were avoiding her!"
For a horse, he treated his old mother like this. What a disobedient son! Sons are all ungrateful! Humph!
