Su Qian felt strange: "Aren't you going hunting? Why not riding a horse?"
"I was thinking about your first time riding a horse, and wanted to help you hold the saddle rope, but I didn't expect... you could actually ride a horse."
Su Qian: “…”
That's it? That's it. Is it necessary to be so angry?
She said casually, "I learned a little from the horse trainer at the stable, but after I fell once, I didn't ride much anymore. I only know a little bit, not very skilled, and I don't dare to ride too fast. I just ride for a while."
She then asked, "Are you really not going to ride? It's such a nice day. What a shame."
Listening to her explanation, Yan Xuanye's pent-up emotions instantly dissipated, "Since you want me to ride, then I will ride."
He called over two horse trainers and ordered them, "Stay by the goddess' side and protect her well. If she gets hurt, you will be held responsible."
"yes."
"Don't worry, Your Highness."
Yan Xuanye blew a whistle, and his silver-maned horse raised its neck high and ran towards him quickly.
Its long silver mane danced in the wind, and when it ran, its four hooves were in the air as if they were not touching the ground. Its speed was so fast that it left a trail of afterimages wherever it passed.
Yan Xuanye's silver-maned horse is just like him, unrestrained and flamboyant, with a majestic aura that is hard to ignore.
It stopped obediently and respectfully in front of Yan Xuanye, glanced at Su Qian and her mount seemingly nonchalantly, and snorted twice in disdain, as if provoking and warning.
The white horse Su Qian was riding breathed nervously, showing its uneasiness. Su Qian stroked its mane soothingly with her hand, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
Yan Xuanye, wearing armor, mounted his horse and stood firmly on its back. He spoke in a deep, warning voice, "Jueying!"
Jueying, this name is quite appropriate.
Silver Mane calmed down and stopped provoking.
Yan Xuanye took the bow and arrow handed to him by the attendant beside him and looked at her confidently: "What prey do you want? I will go and hunt it for you."
"You can hunt anything you want."
He raised the corners of his lips, as if he was very satisfied with her words: "Okay! I'll hunt it for you later." He squeezed his legs hard against the horse's belly and ran out at a gallop.
Su Qian saw him pull out a special arrow from the quiver, put it on the bowstring, and then slowly draw the bow. After aiming at the prey, the arrow shot out into the air. The arrow shot out at dawn like a thunderbolt. Only a "whoosh" sound was heard in the air as it rushed past and hit a madly fleeing elk.
Su Qian exclaimed: "How amazing!"
The elk was not small, but it did not fall to the ground after being shot. It was still trying to escape. Yan Xuanye swooped down and shot another arrow, and the elk fell to the ground with a neigh.
With two consecutive arrows, in just a moment, he shot down an elk. As soon as Yan Xuanye shot, his attendants immediately went to collect the prey.
The animals in the field were frightened by this scene and fled frantically into the woods. Yan Xuanye quickly followed.
Gebulu beside him praised repeatedly: "Your Highness has great skills."
Machi also said: "How about we compete today to see who can shoot more prey."
Ge Bulu: "Okay, I've been in the Central Plains for three months now, and I'm itching to compete. Let's have a fight." He tightened the hemp rope, "Hold~"
Then, Machi and Gebulu followed.
Su Qian did not go into the woods, but just practiced riding in the fields. The horse trainer beside her did not dare to let her ride too fast, for fear that she would be in danger.
Two people surrounded her tremblingly, one on the left and one on the right. They didn't say much, just looking out for her safety.
Su Qian thought to herself: How boring.
After practicing for a while, she felt thirsty and dismounted. Cuiwei came over from a distance and handed her a handkerchief. "Girl, wipe your sweat. Are you thirsty? Why don't you go to the prepared tent to rest for a while and drink some water?"
Su Qian took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her face. "I'm a little thirsty. Let's go to the tent and rest for a while."
When they got into the tent, Cuiwei helped her change out of her riding clothes and into a light pink gauze dress behind the screen.
The maids came in lined up and set out the refreshments and tea. An older maid said, "Goddess, the refreshments are ready. Please enjoy your meal."
Su Qian nodded slowly, then they bowed and left the tent.
Su Qian picked up a piece of dragon beard pastry from the table and looked out the window casually. She accidentally saw a white dove flying in front of her tent in the sky. However, there was a small nest not far from the tent, and there was another pigeon resting on the nest, but it just didn't land to rest.
I heard that in ancient times the fastest way to send letters was by carrier pigeon. Su Qian squinted and took a closer look. There was a small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg.
She rolled her eyes, as if she had thought of something, and then said to Cuiwei, "Cuiwei, take my riding clothes out and have them washed."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Cuiwei walked to the screen, picked up the riding clothes she had changed out of, and walked out of the tent.
As soon as Cuiwei left the tent, Su Qian saw the white dove flying towards the window where she was. "Wow, it's quite smart."
There is no mention in ancient costume TV dramas that white pigeons are so smart.
The pigeon stopped moving on the window frame, so Su Qian reached out her hand. It didn't peck at her hand, so she easily took out the note.
Slowly unfolding the note, it clearly read:
Su Zhao, how have you been lately? It's been a long time since I last saw you, and I miss you so much.
Su Zhao? In this world, she was the only one who would call her that.
Su Qian knew that Lu Huan would not let her go easily, but she did not expect that he would actually write a letter to her, and it was so... ambiguous.
What about long time no see, I miss you so much...
She didn't know what he was up to. She didn't believe at all that Lu Huan would miss her. He was just trying to scare her.
He was a man of deep thoughts, and he would never reveal anything on his face, so she really didn't notice it at all at first.
Not only her, but also Deputy General Wu and others, who worked with him every day, did not notice it. It was really terrifying.
Su Qian thought about it and decided that why not use the same method to fight back against him?
She wanted to see what Lu Huan was going to do.
She came to the desk, began to grind ink, and then picked up the pen to write:
I am very well. I am overjoyed to receive your letter. It has been more than a month since we last met, and I miss you deeply. I want to ask how you are doing.
Then he cut out the written words, rolled them up like a received letter, and put them into the bamboo tube of another gray-white pigeon.
She had heard that pigeons in ancient times were one-way messengers, so she guessed that this white pigeon was delivering a message to her on behalf of Lu Huan, and the gray-white pigeon next to it should be flying over to deliver a message to him.
Sure enough, as soon as Su Qian stuffed the letter in and covered it, the gray-white dove flapped its wings and flew away.
Su Qian smiled secretly, "Lu Huan, Lu Huan, I don't know what your expression will be when you receive the letter. I'm really looking forward to it now."
