Zijuan knew that Daiyu often couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and would not rest until the first or second watch. Moreover, not only did she go to bed late, but she also slept little. She probably couldn't sleep again after one watch. Therefore, Daiyu had the habit of taking a nap to make up for her sleep.
Since it was to make up for the sleep, Zijuan naturally hoped that Daiyu could sleep a little longer.
Daiyu shook her head when she heard this, and with the help of Zijuan, she sat up a little and asked, "What time is it now?"
Zijuan helped Daiyu up, then handed her a cup of tea and said, "It's 3 p.m."
Daiyu took the tea and took a sip. She immediately felt refreshed and her spirits returned. When she heard Zijuan's answer, she frowned slightly and said softly, "I said before that I would accompany Yun to visit the garden. Now it's already 3 p.m. I'm afraid Yun will remember it again."
Zijuan smiled and said, "Miss, what you said makes it seem like Miss Yun is unreasonable."
Daiyu smiled knowingly, the corners of her lips slightly raised, but she didn't say anything else. They were all sisters who grew up together, so they knew each other's tempers. She just couldn't control her mouth and said that casually.
Then, Zijuan changed the subject and said with a smile, "Miss Yun is busy today and can't walk around the yard."
"Oh what could be better than her strolling through the yard?"
Daiyu was surprised when she heard this, because Xiangyun had nothing to do in the palace except having fun.
Zijuan looked at the girl in front of her with a smile and said, "The prince returned home early today and is now taking Miss Yun and the others to learn horse riding. How could he have time to stroll around the garden?"
Daiyu's heart paused when she heard this. She put the teacup on the table, wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, looked at her good sister with her willow eyes, her jade-like face was calm, and asked casually, "Brother-in-law took Yun girl to learn horse riding?"
Zijuan's smile deepened as she replied, "There's also Miss Bao. I heard she also went to ask the Second Miss and the Fourth Miss, but they didn't go."
Daiyu's eyes dimmed slightly when she heard this. According to Zijuan, all the other sisters-in-law were invited, but she was the only one left out. What did this mean?
Zijuan wanted to make a joke, but when she saw Daiyu's expression, she knew that the girl was sentimental again, so she stopped making jokes and said with a smile, "The prince came here earlier, but he saw the girl taking a nap, so he didn't disturb her. He said that when the girl wakes up, if she wants to learn horse riding, she can go to the martial arts arena, and if she doesn't want to go, she can rest in the house."
Daiyu's heart warmed when she heard this, and her eyes sparkled with stars. They are all her sisters-in-law, and she would feel upset if anyone was left behind, and she had no other intentions.
Seeing this, Zijuan laughed and asked, "Girl, are you going?"
"."
What is this girl laughing at? She must be doing it on purpose.
But Daiyu didn't say anything. Her willow eyes flickered slightly and she said softly, "I am weak, how can I learn to ride a horse?"
Zijuan said "Oh" and replied, "I see. I'll ask Xueyan to tell her that the girl can't learn to ride a horse, so she won't go."
"."
I've said many times that I won't go.
Chapter 193 Shui Rong: My brother-in-law knows what's going on
Inside the martial arts arena.
Shui Rong was wearing a blue outfit with a cloud-flying bat pattern, neatly dressed, holding a pony in his hand. He walked in front of the two beauties and asked with a smile, "Which of you two will go first?"
Today Baochai is wearing a lotus green skirt, with phoenix eyebrows and a high bun. Her crystal earlobes are adorned with jade ginkgo leaf-shaped earrings. She looks much more beautiful, which shows that Baochai is an obedient person.
Hearing Shui Rong's question, Baochai's almond eyes turned slightly, and she gently pushed Xiangyun and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, let Yun go first. She looks so impatient."
Xiangyun pouted her lips slightly when she heard this, and glared at Baochai with her clear eyes, but she didn't say much. She was straightforward by nature, and since Baochai asked her to go first, she naturally wouldn't be shy. So she looked at Shuirong with a smile and said, "Brother-in-law, you can't just give me a perfunctory answer this time. You have to treat me the same way as you did with Third Sister and the others."
Last time she just asked someone to take her for a stroll and had a great time. This time she couldn't let her brother-in-law just be perfunctory.
Shui Rong chuckled when he heard this and said, "Okay, I'll take you for a ride today."
Although they are ponies, they are not heavy either, so it is no problem for two of them to ride together. It is not like they are carrying Yuanchun with them.
After hearing this, Xiangyun smiled like a flower, her slightly chubby face showed dimples, and she couldn't wait to get on the horse.
Shui Rong didn't say much when he saw this. He held the foal and prepared to teach Xiangyun how to mount the horse step by step. However, when he saw Xiangyun put on the stirrups, turned over and rode on the foal with quite quick movements, he stopped talking immediately.
It seems that when Xiangyun was taken for a stroll before, the teaching effect was still there, especially since Xiangyun was so agile, it must have taken a lot of thought.
Xiangyun rode on the pony, looking at Shuirong with a smile on her face. Her smart eyes showed a little cunning, and she said in a clear voice: "Brother-in-law, get on the horse quickly!"
Shui Rong smiled, and was not in a hurry to mount the horse. Instead, he turned his head and said to Baochai, "Sister Bao, go to the reed tent and rest for a while. I will come and teach you later."
A reed awning was set up in the martial arts arena to provide shade, and tea and fruit were available inside.
Baochai nodded slightly when she heard this and said softly, "Brother-in-law, you can take Yun girl to learn. I'm not in a hurry."
As for Baochai, she had no interest in learning horse riding. She just wanted to stay with her brother-in-law for a while. Even if she could only look at him from afar, she would feel at ease.
Shui Rong nodded slightly, and immediately mounted the pony. However, just as he sat down, the pony's legs staggered, which immediately made Xiangyun's face pale and her body a little unstable.
Fortunately, Shui Rong held him up and prevented him from falling.
Xiangyun turned her head to look at the young man behind her, pursed her lips and said nothing more.
Shui Rong was speechless when he saw this. Although Xiangyun didn't say anything, it seemed as if she had said everything. It was not his fault. He coughed lightly and said nothing more. He held the reins with one hand and with a sound of "gig", the horse started moving.
Xiangyun in front of her held the saddle tightly with her hands. There was no fear on her face, but excitement. She urged, "Brother-in-law, can you make the horse run faster?"
Since Xiangyun had something to ask for, he was naturally satisfied. With the sound of "drive", the horse galloped along the martial arts field.
While galloping, Shui Rong held the reins with one hand and held Xiangyun with the other. After all, the horse was going too fast, and it was bouncing up and down, and it would be easy to slip off the horse if one was not careful.
"Sister Yun, don't stretch your legs too straight on the saddle, or you'll hurt your thigh muscles."
Shui Rong's main job is to teach, so he will not forget what he should teach. Learning horse riding is most likely to hurt the thigh muscle. When Shui Rong first learned to ride a horse, it was not a pleasant experience. However, as a man, he did not care. But it would be unsightly for Miss Xiangyun if she was left with a scar.
Xiangyun's eyes sparkled when she heard this. She followed Shuirong's instructions and felt much better. She said excitedly, "Brother-in-law, I learned it. Please make the horse go faster."
Shui Rong suddenly found it funny. They had not been like this when they were teaching Tanchun and the others to ride horses. But they happened to meet Xiangyun, who was really like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger.
After a pause, Shui Rong moved the hand that was pinching Xiang Yun's waist and said, "Sister Yun, try to hold the reins tightly. Don't be afraid. I'm holding you here."
Xiangyun was in an excited state before, so she didn't care about anything else. But now, after hearing her brother-in-law's reminder, she really felt the abnormality in her waist, which was clearer than before. For a moment, her little face turned rosy, like a sweet red apple.
However, Xiangyun knew that her brother-in-law was protecting her, so how could she have such wild thoughts?
After responding with a "sound", Xiangyun loosened her grip on the saddle and reached out to grab the reins. This novel feeling made Xiangyun forget everything else and she smiled innocently.
Shui Rong didn't know what to say when he saw this situation. This girl was just playful and she was the type that could be coaxed away with just a lollipop.
After taking Xiangyun around the martial arts arena for more than two circles, they stopped in front of the reed tent. Shui Rong leaned close to Xiangyun's ear and whispered, "Sister Yun, we'll stop here for now. You take your time."
Xiangyun breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that, and her petite body leaned limply against the boy behind her. Although it was only two laps, she was in an excited state throughout the whole process, her nerves were tense, and she was sweating profusely.
The scent of powder lingered between Shui Rong's nostrils, and her expression was slightly strange. She coughed lightly and said in a clear voice: "Sister Yun, I will help you get off the horse first."
Xiangyun was unaware of him. She turned her head and looked at the young man with her lively eyes. She smiled innocently and said, "Brother-in-law, riding a horse is so much fun. Can we do it again?"
Shui Rong was amused when he heard this, but he could understand it. Learning horse riding was a new thing for Xiang Yun, so she naturally enjoyed it. He reached out and wiped the sweat from the girl's forehead, and said softly, "You take a break first. I'll teach Sister Bao for a while, and I'll teach you later."
If you want to treat your sister-in-law fairly, how can you just favor Xiangyun?
Xiangyun noticed the boy's intimacy, her slightly chubby face turned red, her bright eyes shone with light, she lowered her eyes and said "hmm" softly.
Shui Rong was unaware of his presence. After he lifted Xiang Yun off the horse, Bao Chai happened to approach him with lotus steps. Without stopping, she stretched out her hand and said in a gentle voice, "Sister Bao, I'll take you for a ride."
Upon seeing this, Baochai glanced at Xiangyun with her almond-shaped eyes, and saw that she had her brows lowered and was not paying attention to this. A light layer of rouge appeared on her plump face, and a fair, white hand was stretched out.
As for Baochai, her heart is not on learning, and Shuirong's mind is not on teaching, so there is no need to care about those messy things.
Baochai sat on the pony, her delicate body barely steadied, she pursed her pink lips, turned her delicate head to look at the young man, and said softly, "Brother-in-law, please ride slower, I'm a little scared."
Earlier, Baochai saw Shui Rong and Xiangyun riding their horses so fast that she was frightened just by looking at them.
Shui Rong chuckled. Baochai is older than Xiangyun, but much less courageous. However, it is understandable. After all, they have different personalities and it has nothing to do with anything else.
With a light response, Shui Rong said, "Don't be afraid, sister Bao, your brother-in-law knows what's going on!"
Chapter 194 Shui Rong: So humble and considerate that it makes people feel distressed
In the reed tent built on a wooden frame, Xiangyun sat on a yellow wooden chair with her soft chin in her hand. Her lively eyes looked at the two people riding side by side in the martial arts arena. Her two-color satin peacock thread and hibiscus soft-soled shoes swayed in the air.
"Hey, Miss Yun, you want to learn how to ride a horse, why are you sitting here alone?"
A clear voice came over, with obvious mockery in it.
Xiangyun glanced over and saw Daiyu, who was wearing a light purple skirt embroidered with plum blossoms, approaching slowly. There was a hint of joy between her brows and she pursed her lips and said, "We just rode. Let's take a break. Sister Lin, are you sleeping well? I thought you weren't coming."
Daiyu's eyebrows curved, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and she said in a clear voice: "I didn't want to come, but I was afraid that my sister would not forgive me, which would make me look wrong."
Zijuan, who was standing behind her, couldn't help but complain in her heart when she heard Daiyu's words. The girl had said before that she didn't want to come, but later she said that it was the prince's good intention. She was right both ways.
Xiangyun raised her eyebrows, snorted softly, and didn't care too much. She smiled and said, "Sister Lin, riding a horse is fun. Do you want to learn it later?"
Daiyu did not answer immediately after hearing this. She looked at the two people riding horses not far away, her eyes sparkling as she said softly, "I just came to take a look, but I can't ride a horse."
Daiyu herself knew that her delicate body was not suitable for the ups and downs, and no one asked her to do so, so she would not learn it.
Xiangyun also knew Daiyu's physical condition. After saying "What a pity", she turned to ask with concern: "Sister Lin, how are you?"
Daiyu felt a little warm in her heart when she heard this. She sat down on a chair with a backrest, twisting her hair with her hands, and said softly, "It has been like this since I was a child. It's not worth it."
Daiyu had gotten used to being weak for a long time, and now she was in good spirits.
Xiangyun glanced at Daiyu and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law told us earlier that Sister Lin was worrying too much and that she would be fine after a period of rest. He also told us not to make trouble for you, which shows that brother-in-law loves Sister Lin the most."
“The most painful.”
Daiyu's heart was moved slightly, and she raised her willow eyes to look at the upright figure, her willow eyes twinkling with starlight. Since the first time they met, her brother-in-law's words were mostly full of concern.
Perhaps, her brother-in-law just felt sorry for her.
In the martial arts arena, Shui Rong and Bao Chai rode side by side. A refreshing fragrance lingered between his nostrils. He knew it was the scent of Leng Xiang Pills.
Sniffing, Shui Rong asked softly, "Sister Bao, are you happy in the palace?"
Baochai grasped the saddle tightly with her hands, her plump face turned a faint blush, and her mind was not on the horse. When she heard Shui Rong's inquiry, she whispered: "Everything is fine in the palace, brother-in-law, please take care of me."
Shui Rong smiled when she heard that, and looked at the crystal clear earrings, the jade ginkgo leaf earrings swaying unsteadily, and came forward and said: "My dear sister, there is no need for us to be strangers."
Baochai's delicate body trembled, and her rosy almond eyes were filled with disbelief.
Brother-in-law, how dare you...
For a moment, Baochai's cheeks flushed red, and she felt ashamed and annoyed. She glanced at the reed shed not far away and saw two figures not paying attention to this place. She couldn't help but feel relieved and reminded, "Brother-in-law, Sister Lin is here."
Shui Rong glanced aside upon hearing this, and that ethereal figure came into view, but Shui Rong did not care. He looked at Bao Chai who changed the subject, and said with a smile: "I'll take you for a ride first, and then we'll go find Sister Lin and the others later."
Now that Daiyu has returned, she can't just abandon Baochai!
Baochai's eyelashes trembled slightly when she heard this, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but glare. She didn't mean this. She just wanted to remind someone. She hoped that her brother-in-law could restrain himself and not let others see the joke.
But in this situation right now... my heart was beating inexplicably, and ripples appeared.
