"Yes, thank you for reminding me, Consort Chen. I will remember it," Princess Jiajia said shyly.
Prince Daya rose to his feet: "Thank you, Your Majesty! This is an honor for Meng Haijiang! It is my honor!"
This made the party even more lively.
Meng Haijiang was a true master of drinking; even Shu Chengfeng, the emperor, was forced to drink quite a bit. In the end, he had to be helped back by Yun Ji.
The next day, he was to meet with all of Meng Haijiang's ministers.
Early in the morning, Yan Nangui sent someone to ask if it was okay to go out and play.
The Dayan Dynasty did not impose strict restrictions on women, and it was not uncommon for unmarried women to go out. After marriage, however, women were usually busy with other matters and thus went out less often.
One cannot leave the palace at will, but there are no such rules among the common people.
As expected, His Majesty said yes, but only if I brought people.
The wild geese flew south and were released into the sky.
"Go, get me a thicker cloak. Help me change first. Bring me the horse." Yan Nangui looked at the grassland with its newly sprouted grass; how could he not ride a horse?
"Your Majesty, you can ride a horse?" Jiangxiang asked in surprise.
"She's a daughter of a military family, after all. It would be unreasonable for her not to know how to ride a horse. But it's been many years since she's tried."
Although no one knew she could ride horses, riding clothes were still made.
I guess they came here to ride horses around. Now their horses have come in handy.
Three riding outfits: one bright red, one lake green, and one lilac.
I'll change into bright red today.
Soon, Shuanzi had someone bring his horse, followed by a guard who was clearly from the Emperor's personal guard.
"Your Majesty, I will assist you in riding your horse."
This is to protect her as if she were someone you'd just ride around with for fun.
Yan Nangui snorted, not even glancing at the small, half-grown horse in front of him, but staring at the one the guard was leading behind him.
"Your Highness... this horse has a fiery temper..." The guard shuddered, thinking, "Please don't..."
"I don't need you to serve me, I can ride a horse." Yan Nangui took the riding whip and waved for the guard to leave.
The guards refused, but dared not stop them.
When the wild goose returned south, it approached the horse, first extending the back of its hand so the horse could smell it.
The guard looked at him and thought to himself that this guy could ride a horse.
The horse sniffed the air, then looked up at the wild geese returning south. The wild geese reached out and patted the horse's head, saying, "Let me ride you around a few times?"
As if discussing something, he stood to the side and patted the horse's back a few more times.
The horse tilted its head back and snorted, looking calm and not angry at all.
Yan Nangui smiled, grabbed the reins with one hand and pushed off with the other, leaping onto the horse.
Her posture was clearly skillful.
The guard hadn't even had a chance to say a few words about being careful.
Yan Nangui pulled on the reins and galloped off.
The horse cooperated perfectly, startling the guard, who hurriedly ran to the main tent to deliver a message.
Even if Jiangxiang wanted to keep up, he couldn't.
Yan Nangui rode the horse and quickly ran out of the camp.
She bent down and patted the horse's head: "Good horse, run freely."
The horse seemed to understand, neighed, and ran even faster.
The geese, returning south, lowered their bodies slightly, letting the wind carry dust that pelted their faces.
But she felt a pleasurable sensation.
Meanwhile, Yun Ji was furious when he heard that Consort Chen had run away alone: "You just let Consort Chen run away by herself? What if something happens to her? Why aren't you chasing after her?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Min quickly replied, "I'll go!"
Shu Chengfeng was still talking to Meng Haijiang's men inside, so he didn't hear anything.
Yan Nangui rode his horse for an unknown distance and saw other people also riding horses. They looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, and judging from their attire, they were children from noble families in Meng Haijiang.
When they saw her arrive, they all stopped to watch.
Yan Nangui ignored him and continued running away into the distance as usual.
The kids whispered among themselves that this person was extremely handsome.
When His Majesty finally finished seeing the person and learned that Consort Chen had run away alone, he immediately flew into a rage: "You insolent thing! Even if she can ride a horse, it's been so many years since she last rode one! How dare you let her run away? Bring her a horse now!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Lord Ding has gone after him," Yun Ji hurriedly said.
Shu Chengfeng waved his hand again: "Take the horse, I'll go find it."
Before long, Shu Chengfeng, Yun Ji, and eight guards chased after them.
The geese, returning south, have stopped and are sitting on a hillside.
The horse was tired from running, so it lay down to rest.
Ding Min breathed a sigh of relief when she caught up; at least she wasn't injured.
"There are troops stationed all around. I was just riding a horse for a while. Why did Lord Ding chase after me?" Yan Nangui tilted his head.
"Your Majesty, I am worried that Your Highness may be injured." Ding Min dared not look too closely, thinking to herself, no wonder His Majesty favors her, she is truly extremely handsome.
As the two were talking, they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and sure enough, Shu Chengfeng arrived.
Yan Nangui smiled and patted the horse's head: "Let's go back."
The horse rose and neighed again. Yan Nangui mounted his horse and rode off to meet Shu Chengfeng and the others.
As they passed each other, she smiled at the man with the dark face, shouted "Giddy up!", and ran off.
The guards all lowered their heads, thinking to themselves how bold this lady was; even His Majesty was furious, she still dared to provoke him.
Shu Chengfeng laughed and turned his horse around to chase after him.
In this section, the geese running south ran even faster, and the hairpin in their hair fell off.
Once it started falling, it was like a domino effect; one piece of jewelry after another fell away until everything was gone.
In an instant, a head of black hair flew up and down the back of his head.
Wearing a fiery red riding outfit, she was indescribably captivating.
As Shu Chengfeng watched, the speed gradually decreased.
Yan Nangui ran back first and said with a smile, "This is a fine horse. Take good care of it and feed it."
He patted the horse's head again: "Good horse, see you again in a few days."
The horse snorted again, clearly showing its liking for her.
After the horse was led away, Shu Chengfeng arrived.
He dismounted and glared angrily at Yan Nangui: "Yan, have you no manners at all?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty must be tired. Let's have some tea." Yan Nangui stepped forward and pulled him.
Shu Chengfeng shook him off: "Do you even know what you're doing?"
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I've worried you. I won't do it again. Your Majesty... please don't be so harsh." Yan Nangui looked pitiful, her hair a little messy from the wind.
Shu Chengfeng was furious, but she couldn't let anyone keep watching her like this, so she suddenly pulled her into the main tent.
No one dared to follow them inside.
Inside the main tent, Shu Chengfeng said, "Aren't you being a bit too reckless? Just because I favor you, you think you can do anything?"
The wild geese flew south, blinked, and remained silent.
"say."
"I was wrong." Yan Nangui blinked again.
"Someone, give her a bath and a toilet!" Shu Chengfeng roared.
The guards retrieved the lost jewelry, but it couldn't be used immediately.
Jiangxiang and several others helped her comb her hair, which was now just a long braid.
Seeing that His Majesty was still angry, Yan Nangui wisely returned home.
Back in her tent, Jiangxiang asked, "Your Majesty, is His Majesty alright, given how angry he is?"
