Chapter 72: Horseback Riding
Kangxi really kept his word. After the issue with Tsarist Russia was resolved, Kangxi picked a sunny day and took Yuying to the horse farm.
The horse farm is in West Garden.
If Kangxi hadn't been there, Yuying wouldn't have been able to come here. After all, the residences of the princes were all nearby.
Sure enough, when Kangxi and Yuying arrived at the horse farm, they met the eldest prince Yinzhi and the crown prince Yinreng who were competing in horse riding on the farm, and the fourth prince Yinzhen who was walking on a pony nearby.
Seeing Kangxi coming, the two contestants rode their horses from the other side of the racecourse. They jumped off their horses neatly, and there were two energetic young men in front of Kangxi and Yuying.
"Your son pays respect to Khan Ama."
Kangxi was naturally happy to see his two sons whom he valued so much. "What are you two doing here?"
[What can you do at a horse ranch? Ride horses.]
Can Kangxi chat?
Hearing this, Kangxi glared at Yuying implicitly, wondering if she could understand that an old father who wanted to care about his son was trying to make small talk.
At this time, the fourth prince Yinzhen also arrived late with his equestrian master and paid their respects to Kangxi together.
When everyone was present, Yinreng began to explain to Kangxi why the three of them were there.
It turned out that Yinzhen had never been very good at horse riding, so Yinreng took advantage of the good weather and took Yinzhen to practice horse riding privately.
What about Yinzhi?
Yinzhi came uninvited.
His original intention was to pay his respects to Concubine Hui, but when he passed by the horse farm, he saw the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince there, so he turned around and walked in.
Upon learning that the prince was teaching Yinzhen horse riding, Yinzhi immediately asked why Yinzhen didn't go to him because his horse riding was obviously better than the prince's.
Not only that, he also insisted on competing with the prince in horse riding to let Yinzhen see who was better.
The boss has such a bad temper that no one can persuade him except Khan Ama.
The prince had no choice but to race with Yinzhi.
If one lap is not enough, you have to play an extra round.
The original plan to teach Yinzhen how to ride a horse had long been forgotten, leaving Yinzhen with no choice but to practice with a horse riding master.
So there was the scene where Kangxi and Yuying bumped into each other at the beginning.
After hearing this, Kangxi praised the prince for taking care of his younger brother and for the competition between the two.
Yuying was amazed as she listened to this. She didn't know what Kangxi was thinking. Was Yinzhi offending the crown prince? It would have been fine if Kangxi didn't reprimand him, but he actually seemed to be happy to see it happen.
[No wonder Yinzhi always wanted to compete with the crown prince.]
[It turns out that it was all Kangxi’s fault.]
[Can you please have some sense of boundaries? This is the prince! Do you understand?]
[Didn’t you see that Yinreng was not very happy? If you were the crown prince and were suppressed by others, would you be happy?]
Yuying complained wildly in her heart.
Out of sight, out of mind. Yuying simply stopped looking at them, withdrew her attention from the few people, and turned to Yinzhen who was sitting quietly beside her.
Unexpectedly, Yinzhen had a low sense of presence at this time. When he saw Kangxi talking to his two brothers, he did not interrupt and just stood aside and watched.
If Yuying hadn't seen the admiration for Kangxi in his eyes, she would have thought that he really didn't care that Kangxi didn't pay attention to him.
How could he not care? Didn't he see that the eldest prince was still competing with the crown prince for Kangxi's attention even though he was already so old?
It must be said that Kangxi knew how to teach his sons. These sons all cared about him.
well.
Yuying sighed and couldn't help asking, "How's the Fourth Prince's horsemanship training going?"
In one sentence, everyone's attention was shifted to Yinzhen.
Being suddenly stared at by everyone, Yinzhen panicked for a moment, then pretended to be calm and said, "Your Highness, I am not yet proficient in this skill, and I still need to practice. Thank you for your concern."
Yinzhen did not know which concubine Yuying was in Kangxi's harem, so he could only call her "Empress" in a general way.
When Kangxi heard Yinzhen's address, he remembered that except for the crown prince, the other two sons did not know Yuying, so he introduced her: "This is Concubine Jin."
Yuying bowed to the three of them.
Before Kangxi introduced Yuying, Yinzhi avoided looking at Yuying to avoid suspicion. But after hearing Kangxi's introduction, he took a look at Yuying.
Who would have thought that the more I looked at it, the more familiar it looked, as if I had seen it somewhere.
Where have you seen me before?
Yinzhi frowned.
Perhaps the doubt in his eyes was too noticeable, Kangxi asked: "Yinzhi, what are you doing?"
Ah! He remembered.
Yinzhi looked at Kangxi and then at the prince, "I am fine!"
"Khan Ama, do you still want to take this nobleman on a horse? Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll take my leave now!"
After saying this, he did not forget to signal the prince to follow.
Not knowing what the boss was up to, Yinreng and Yinzhen also retreated.
Kangxi and Yuying were the only ones left on the racecourse.
Kangxi turned his head to look at Yuying, thinking about what she had just said, and his thoughts were a little confused for a moment. But now he still had to teach Yuying how to ride a horse, so he could only suppress all his thoughts.
"Aying, let's go change into riding clothes first."
Yuying agreed.
The two were taken away separately.
After the two men changed into riding clothes, they came to the stable.
There was already a servant waiting by the side with two horses. One was pure white, tall, strong, and had smooth hair; the other was slightly shorter and chestnut in color.
Yuying couldn't help but look at the white horse. After all, everyone admires the strong. This horse looks energetic at first glance, the Red Hare among horses.
Kangxi went forward and touched the white horse's mane. The horse rubbed Kangxi's hand intelligently. "Aying, do you like it?"
Yuying nodded quickly, fearing that if she was too slow, Kangxi would take the horse and leave.
"This is my mount. If Ah Ying learns to ride a horse today, I will let her ride it for a while."
After hearing this, Yuying quickly urged Kangxi, "Then let's get started!"
Kangxi ordered the equestrian instructor to leave and personally taught Yuying how to ride a horse, starting with how to get on the horse.
On this side, Yinzhi and others were on their way back to Taoyuan Book House from the horse farm.
When he saw the prince coming with Yinzhen, he quickly pulled Yinreng aside and started talking to him in private.
"Was that Khan Ama's concubine just now?"
Yinreng thought that what Yinzhi said was really strange. Khan Ama had already introduced them, so why was he still asking him?
Seeing that the prince didn't react, Yinzhi couldn't help but remind him, "Zhuangzi! Little eunuch!"
The boss actually figured it out?
Yinreng looked at Yinzhi in surprise.
"What's that look in your eyes? I'm not blind!" Yinzhi was anxious, "No wonder you ignored me when I asked you about your little eunuch being taken away by Khan Ama the other day."
"Well, you actually help Khan Ama do this kind of thing!"
Yinzhi's tone was full of indignation.
Yinreng was helpless. Why should he clean up the mess after Khan Ama had done so much good?
"Well, Khan Ama has his own ideas. Now that you know about it, you should not shout loudly. If Khan Ama finds out, do you want to be punished again?"
"You knew everything but you didn't tell me! You caused me to be punished!" Yinzhi cried out in injustice.
"I told you I was doing this for your own good, but you refused to listen! I don't blame you for getting me into trouble."
Yinzhi felt guilty and left angrily.
Yinreng did not indulge him and returned to Yinzhen's side.
Yinzhen looked at Yinzhi's back and asked, "Brother Crown Prince, what happened to my eldest brother?"
"Ignore him."
