Chapter 279 Let me take you horseback riding!
Xie Shang didn't care at all. He walked up to the child, took his daughter from Lianye's arms, and said, "My little Yan'er is enough. No one else matters."
Seeing that he held the little princess in a very proper manner, Lianye was not worried that the crown prince would hurt the little princess's waist, so she let go and went to do other things.
As soon as he received her, Xie Ziyan pouted as if she was about to cry, or as if she was afraid of him and dared not cry out loud. She looked incredibly frustrated.
Xie Shang had no idea that this was what his beloved daughter looked like when she needed to poop.
Xie Shang was stunned. "Even you despise me? I am your father."
The moment the child uttered the word "Father," he burst into tears.
Xie Shang frantically tried to comfort her, "Why is she crying? I didn't scold her, nor did I scare her..."
Jiang Fenghua approached and smelled a foul odor without even touching the child. As she took the child from her, she said, "Of course the child pooped!"
Hearing the baby cry, the wet nurse quickly took the baby and said, "I'll take this to change the diaper."
Jiang Fenghua handed the child to the wet nurse, and Hongxiu took Xiao Hongyou away again. She also asked the palace maid to close the door for them. Who had offended His Highness the Crown Prince with that ugly look when he entered the room?
After the brief respite, Xie Shang wasn't so angry that she had run off alone. He put his arm around Jiang Fenghua's waist and said, "I'm hungry."
"Your Highness didn't eat at Taihua Palace!"
"No!" he replied calmly.
"Then I will personally go to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles for Your Highness." With that, she turned to leave.
Xie Shang pulled her into his arms, cupped her face, and kissed her. "Who said I was hungry?"
Jiang Fenghua deliberately said, "There's Tang Liang..."
Xie Shang cut her off immediately. His kiss was fierce and punitive. She could hardly resist it. He pinned her to the table and kissed her until her chest heaved violently and she was panting heavily before he released her.
Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were filled with desire. Xie Shang whispered in her ear in a deep, magnetic voice, "I only like to eat here."
Jiang Fenghua was so ashamed she wanted to crawl into a hole. Xie Shang was decisive and efficient in the court, and he was indeed a master in love. He could easily arouse the desire in her body, and he was also very considerate of her feelings. She wouldn't lose out by having such a bed partner.
She took off her clothes, wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, and kissed his lips again. Xie Shang's teasing had ignited a fire within her, and simply kissing her was clearly not enough.
After giving birth, Jiang Fenghua's figure became even fuller. When Xie Shang saw his affectionate and charming wife, he couldn't resist and carried her back to the inner room.
The room was instantly filled with enchanting beauty...
When she came to her senses, she felt as if all the bones in her body were about to fall apart. She was completely lost in Xie Shang's tenderness, and she admitted that only by doing this could she be completely defenseless against him.
"Ruan Ruan," he called softly.
"Hmm." Jiang Fenghua didn't want to move, she really didn't want to move. He had tormented her twice, his stamina was amazing. She wanted to call for a stop halfway through, but she was also enjoying it. What kind of man was he?
Does he do this with other women too?
Although she felt disgusted, her body betrayed her. Oh well, she decided not to think too much about it. This was a part of her life that she enjoyed, so she might as well just enjoy it!
Xie Shang kissed her cheek. She exuded a bewitching charm, like a fox spirit, making him unable to resist her allure.
"What does Your Highness want to say?" Jiang Fenghua asked him.
Xie Shang said, "Let me take you horseback riding!"
Jiang Fenghua said, "Your Highness isn't tired? I'm so tired my legs are about to break."
"I'm in good spirits, would you like to try again?"
"No, Your Highness, please go riding!" Otherwise, she won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow.
In fact, she could ride a horse, but in front of Xie Shang, she was a delicate and gentle woman. She was very good at reading, knowledgeable, reasonable, gentle and charming. If he knew that she had secretly left Shengjing when she was young to go to her maternal grandfather's security escort agency to learn some self-defense skills, would Xie Shang become suspicious?
Xie Shang often took Su Tingwan horseback riding, and he was once completely captivated by Su Tingwan's heroic figure on horseback.
He likes women who are innocent and straightforward, and he was completely captivated by Jiang Fenghua simply because her appearance was attractive enough to a man.
From beginning to end, he never asked her if she knew how to ride a horse.
Jiang Fenghua asked, "Why did Your Highness take me horseback riding?"
Xie Shang didn't even consider Su Tingwan. "I want to hold a martial arts examination to select talents and expand the military strength of the Great Zhou. I have thought of many ways to recruit soldiers, but I feel that holding a martial arts examination is more effective in achieving my goal."
The imperial court selects talent through examinations, with each level carefully chosen, and only the best reach the top...
I have consulted history, and military examinations have been held before, but they were not taken seriously. If I want to use this method to select talents, it will indeed be quite difficult.
We can't just test their skills; we also need to consider their character and knowledge. After all, they must serve the court. Ultimately, only those who truly care about the people of the Great Zhou can be considered good generals. Therefore, it's even more difficult to select than the top scholar in the civil service exam.
Hearing him speak so eloquently, Jiang Fenghua muttered to herself, "Actually, the martial arts examination doesn't have to be so strict; the most important thing is that the person has good character."
Xie Shang was a man of action. He pulled Jiang Fenghua up and said, "I'll take you for a walk around the training grounds."
"It's so late, are you really going?" Jiang Fenghua was shocked.
When they arrived at the martial arts training ground, it was nighttime, and the place was eerily quiet. Jiang Fenghua hid behind Xie Shang and said, "Your Highness, let's go back! I'm afraid of the dark."
Xie Shang clapped his hands towards the sky, and tall torches lit up the surrounding area, instantly illuminating the vast expanse.
Jiang Fenghua looked up at the vast and boundless night sky, where the bright moon hung, surrounded by stars, creating a beautiful picture.
She had seen this training ground and this starry sky countless times, but the person who rode horses with him on the training ground was not her. Why did he bring her here in this life? He clearly thought she couldn't ride a horse!
“I will teach you to ride a horse. You are so smart, you will definitely be able to learn,” he said.
At this moment, Lin Feng and Ye Ying walked over and respectfully asked, "Your Highness is all ready, but would the Crown Princess like to mount her horse?" It was so late, and the Crown Prince had suddenly decided to ride a horse, but the Crown Princess didn't know how.
They were almost certain that the delicate and frail Jiang Fenghua could not ride a horse.
"I'll take her." Xie Shang took her hand and walked towards the stable.
Xie Shang chose his beloved horse, Chi Yan, but Jiang Fenghua looked at another chestnut-colored pony next to him.
He said, "This horse was recently sent to the palace and has not yet been tamed."
"Does Ruan Ruan like horses too?"
Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "Your Highness, have you forgotten that the Jiang family has two fine steeds that my maternal grandfather specially sent to the Jiang family? My eldest brother likes them very much and often rides them out for a walk. I gave them two very cute names, Yuanyuan and Qiuqiu."
"Round Ball?" Xie Shang was speechless. What kind of fine horse name was that? He had ridden those two horses before, and they were indeed good horses, but why did the name sound so timid?
