Chapter 119 Rejection of Invitation
To the south of the hunting ground, there is a royal stable. It is quite large, surrounded by fences, and filled with herds of fine horses.
Shen Yuning stepped into the horse farm, his eyes wandered among the horses, and finally he picked out a tall, pure black horse.
It has a strong body, shiny fur, and exudes an extraordinary aura.
Shen Yuning grew up in the northwest, and had been with horses since childhood, so he had superb horsemanship.
She was light and nimble, and with a swift turn, she sat steadily on the horse's back.
Gently squeeze the horse's belly and pull the reins, and the horse will spread its four hooves and run wildly in the stable like lightning.
Round and round, Shen Yuning's long hair fluttered in the wind. She did not change into riding clothes today, and the layers of gauze skirt on her body were fluttering in the wind.
After running a few laps, Shen Yuning pulled the reins and the horse stopped obediently.
She was in a much better mood. She rode on the horse and walked slowly, her eyes slightly lowered, as if she was thinking about something.
Ye Jinshu's appearance has already had an effect on Quan Minghe.
At least, Quan Minghe has begun to realize the jealousy in his heart, and this jealousy can also magnify his possessiveness towards herself.
In this case, she naturally had to seize the opportunity and press on to win.
In this era with strict hierarchy, there was a natural inequality in status between her and Quan Minghe.
But in the relationship between men and women, being humble and flattering all the time will only lower one's own status and eventually put oneself in a passive position.
So no matter whether she pretends to be pitiful at the right time or being distant towards Quan Minghe, she must take the initiative in this relationship.
Now it has come to the stage where Quan Minghe needs something from her, whether it is emotional comfort or physical satisfaction, as long as he needs something from her, she, Shen Yuning, will stand at the commanding heights and occupy a dominant position.
If anyone is humble in this relationship now, it should be Quan Minghe, not her, Shen Yuning.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuning raised the corners of his mouth.
She controlled the reins and drove the horse slowly to Xitong, with a calm expression, and ordered: "Xitong, go and ask His Majesty to come to the stable to ride with me."
The tone of her voice made it seem as if Quan Minghe was the one who could be summoned and dismissed at will.
“Yes.”
Xitong responded and turned to walk towards the bank account.
Shen Yuning squeezed the horse's belly lightly again, and the horse spread its hooves and galloped in the stable.
The whistling wind blew rapidly past her ears, blowing up her hair and brushing her cheeks, making her body feel refreshed. Even her heart seemed to be cleansed by the wind and felt particularly comfortable.
Shen Yuning didn't know how many laps she had ridden on the horse in the stable, she just felt very refreshed.
At this time, Xitong came back, but her little face was full of indignation, and anyone who saw her could see her dissatisfaction.
Shen Yuning raised her eyebrows slightly and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Xitong frowned and reported: "Your Majesty, His Majesty is gathering the ministers in the tent and setting up a banquet."
"There are many dancers singing and dancing in the center of the banquet, which is very lively. Your Majesty is drinking and having fun with everyone, and he is very happy."
She paused, and then continued, "I went to find Eunuch Li Ming and told him that you invited His Majesty to go riding at the horse farm, but when His Majesty heard about it, he said that he had a beauty to accompany him tonight, and he wanted to drink with all the ministers and generals to his heart's content, and he would not return until he was drunk."
"And..."
Xitong hesitated for a moment, as if it was difficult to say.
Shen Yuning chuckled: "What else do you want to say?"
Xitong whispered back, "He also said that you are not allowed to disturb him again tonight."
Shen Yuning curled her lips and muttered to herself, "How childish! Is Quan Minghe trying to make me jealous in this way?"
She thought about it for a moment, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind.
Drinking and having fun, with beautiful women as companions? She just wouldn't let him have his way!
Shen Yuning turned to look at Xitong and ordered, "Xitong, go choose a horse you like and get on it."
Xitong, like Shen Yuning, grew up in the northwest, so she is naturally good at horse riding.
Although she had no idea what the queen was going to do, she did not ask much. She followed her mother's instructions and picked a snow-white horse from the herd. She climbed onto the horse swiftly and sat on its back.
Puzzled, "My Lady, what do you want to do?"
Shen Yuning's expression darkened. "Your Majesty went back on his word today regarding Concubine Yan. I was already extremely sad, so I came to the horse farm to ride a horse to relax."
"I finally recovered a little, and wanted to show weakness to His Majesty and invite him to race horses together, so as to enhance our relationship. But who could have thought that His Majesty would have a beautiful woman to accompany him? My heart is really broken."
Having said that, Shen Yuning took a deep breath.
"So, I can't help but feel emotional and I can't control myself. I'm riding into the hunting grounds to release my suppressed emotions."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yuning swung the whip in his hand and hit the horse hard on its back.
The horse felt pain and raised its four hooves. With its hooves flying, it left the stable with Shen Yuning on its back like the wind and galloped towards the hunting ground.
Xitong was confused and couldn't guess what the empress was going to do, but when she saw her riding away, she didn't dare to delay and hurriedly waved the whip, driving the white horse under her crotch, and followed behind the empress.
Soon, Shen Yuning rode his horse into the hunting ground.
As soon as she entered the hunting ground, she slowed down, gently pulled the reins in her hands, and her eyes fell on the ground, paying close attention to the traces on the ground to avoid any signs of large wild animals.
It was evening now and the sky was getting dark. Some large wild animals would usually go to the water source to drink water during this time period. For safety reasons, she deliberately headed away from the lake.
Shen Yuning continued to walk deeper into the hunting ground, observing the surrounding environment along the way.
Finally, after searching for a while, I found a place that I was quite satisfied with.
She dismounted, tied the reins to a thick tree trunk beside her, and then reached out to push aside the bushes in front of her.
Seeing a cave hidden along the stone wall, she bent down slightly and squatted in carefully.
Seeing this, Xitong became even more confused and hurried forward.
I couldn't help but ask, "My lady, what are you going to do?"
Shen Yuning had a mysterious smile on her lips and waved gently at Xitong.
Xitong moved closer.
Shen Yuning leaned close to her ear, lowered his voice, and spoke softly.
As Xitong listened, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Shen Yuning's smile deepened, revealing a meaningful charm, and she said softly, "Go."
Xitong understood, turned around, walked to the horse, jumped on it, then waved the whip, raised the horse's hooves, and galloped quickly in the direction they came from.
Shen Yuning looked up at the sky. The dark sky seemed to indicate that a rain was about to come.
If it rains later, the effect might be even better.
