Chapter 263: First meeting the hero
Chapter 263: First meeting the hero
The Tenth Prince was really surprised. Good horses are rare, and this kind of famous quality is even rarer. It is rare to find such good horses in the horse farm outside.
"Okay, I've reserved that horse!" The young boy was full of pride and looked more and more ambitious.
Compared to the Tenth Prince, the two young kids were not that curious about horses and other things.
Wu Yanmeng simply doesn't understand and doesn't like it, but Qingyin is in a state where she has understood everything and her desires are satisfied.
He stood closely behind Wu Yanmeng and followed her into the horse farm.
In the horse farm, the owner led the Wuya horse over.
As expected of a good horse pursued by the world, this black horse lives up to its name, with its hair completely black, shiny and glossy, looking extremely domineering.
Even Wu Yanmeng, who had no interest in horses, felt a little fond of them, not to mention the Tenth Prince who already liked this kind of horse.
He couldn't wait to climb onto the horse. His movements were smooth and neat, and had the elegance of a scholar, which was even more eye-catching.
Although he liked her, the Tenth Prince was not the kind of person who would be so careless as to ignore the little sister he brought up just for love. Although he had a desire to run a few laps on the horse field, he was still able to hold back.
In the distance, several young men who had arrived at the racecourse early had already run a few laps and returned.
Four handsome young men, riding on their horses, were full of vigor and vitality, bringing a lot of glory to the horse farm.
One of them in particular came over with even greater excitement after seeing a familiar face.
They are all good friends, and they are not fools when they come out to play together. They know how to hide the identity of the Tenth Prince.
The Tenth Prince's mother's family name was the Niuhulu clan, so the others called him Brother Liu, which was also a nickname they had agreed upon before.
"Brother Liu, you made us wait for so long. We have been riding for several laps." said the handsome young man with a very lively personality.
The young Shi Zhian was born in the General's Mansion, but he was just an unimportant illegitimate son in the mansion. Although his mother was favored by the General Shi Yueyu, Shi Yueyu still attached great importance to his own son who had been smart since childhood.
Shi Zhian was not as smart and talented as his brother in any aspect of studying. Although he was a little jealous, he never thought of surpassing his brother or harming him. Fortunately, he let go of the idea and accidentally became good friends with the Tenth Prince.
Shi Zhian has an open-minded personality, doesn't care about details, and is cheerful and lively. He can be regarded as a mediator between the few people.
Seeing that it was Shi Zhian who made the joke, the Tenth Prince was not angry.
"Brother Shi loves to tease me. Don't you even look at what treasure I brought you?"
"Ding ding ding!" The Tenth Prince turned around and saw Wu Yanmeng, who was unprepared and was eating snacks out of boredom.
Wu Yanmeng: “???”
The delicate and lovely little girl was chubby all over, with a little bit of snack on her round and cute face. In her other hand, she held a piece of snack and forced it into the mouth of another little beggar.
It's very interesting to watch.
Looking at the pretty little girl who was much younger than the tenth prince, and the other two maids who were obviously palace maids were diligently serving the little girl...
Seeing all these signs, the young man with the calmest and most handsome face thought of the little princess in the palace who was about the same age as the little girl and loved to eat, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
He felt even worse after finding out that the little princess was the biological sister of the Tenth Prince.
Those who followed the prince were not fools and they quickly guessed the identity of the little girl.
Shi Zhian opened his mouth wide, and pointed at Wu Yanmeng with trembling fingers: "Brother Liu, this can't be your sister, right?"
The Tenth Prince said confidently: "Of course, my sister is cute! Isn't your little sister pretty?"
Several people looked over again. Regardless of other things, the little princess did inherit the good looks of the imperial concubine and the emperor. She was extremely beautiful. Even though she was chubby, she was still very cute.
But this is not the reason why the tenth prince brought the little princess out! It's over!
At this moment, this thought came to several people's minds.
Even Qingyin who was standing by had to admit that the Tenth Prince was indeed a ruthless person. He stole his own sister away just to show off his best friend's sister. This was really a bitch.
Qingyin is hard to describe.
He chewed the snacks that Wu Yanmeng force-fed him, but it didn't matter to him. He was just a poor, innocent mute child who was rescued.
So the Tenth Prince can only wish him good luck.
The crisp sound of chewing dim sum could be heard in the empty horse farm. With the reminder from his good friend, the Tenth Prince realized that the incident of stealing his younger sister out of the palace had become a big deal.
There is a special hall in the horse ranch for distinguished guests to rest after being tired of riding horses. Several young men were sitting together, with the cute little princess in the middle and Qingyin being pulled by the little princess.
Several people also learned about the experience of this strange child who looked like a beggar from their friends.
He was thinking deeply about how to reduce the possibility of the Tenth Prince being severely punished by the Emperor.
……
An hour later, the calmest Chen Che, the legitimate son of Minister Chen and the study partner of the Tenth Prince, looked at the Tenth Prince seriously:
"Tenth Prince, you should go back and confess to the emperor as soon as possible. This matter cannot be resolved."
The Tenth Prince hesitated: "Is there really no other way?"
Several people looked at each other, then looked at the Tenth Prince tacitly without saying anything.
Okay, the Tenth Prince understood and lowered his head dejectedly.
……
Qingyin didn't pay much attention to the important "meeting" of those teenagers.
He follows Wu Yanmeng, and the original identity of the tasker can be considered the female supporting role in this world, and can also help him get in touch with the task object Xu Yanli in this world.
Qingyin thought that this time, the little princess met the poor male protagonist at the horse farm and was looked at with pity by the owner of the horse farm. She felt sympathy for him, and then laid the foundation for the male protagonist to fall in love at first sight.
Qingyin looked around to see if there was anyone who might be the protagonist's child.
After a while, a thin and dark boy of six or seven years old appeared in front of Qingyin.
About the same age, but with a mature look, it's definitely him - Xu Yanli.
The little boy was much bigger than this body, also dark and thin, but his clothes were obviously much neater, and he was not as dirty as himself, looking like a beggar.
Wu Yanmeng looked at the child busy wiping the chairs in the distance, her eyes lost and confused, she turned her head and looked at Qingyin: "He is so special, he looks like you, but different, I like him a little bit but also a little angry, it's weird."
The little princess' voice was very soft, and she was almost speaking to Qingyin.
Qingyin looked at Wu Yanmeng with a complicated look. Of course! This is the object of your mission, little friend. Although you have forgotten it, you have not forgotten the losses you have suffered in your soul.
The child's eyes and movements were not obvious in front of the adults watching outside, but they were particularly obvious to Xu Yanli, the sensitive adult version of the child.
There was no malicious look in his eyes. A little girl who looked like a rich lady and a dirty little beggar looked strange no matter how you looked at them. Xu Yanli frowned slightly, quickly concealing the indescribable feeling in his eyes, lowered his head, and continued to deal with the garbage scattered on the ground by the guests.
This is also what he has to do besides his job of feeding horses.
On this side, the Tenth Prince was also persuaded to understand the importance of going back to ask for punishment, and he prepared to drag his mentally exhausted body to bring the abducted and picked up children back to the palace.
……
The Imperial Palace, the Forbidden City still stands majestically on the strict city walls, and every exquisite decoration reveals the craftsmen's rigor and respect for imperial power.
The palace maids and eunuchs of the Hall of Supreme Harmony were all standing outside the hall waiting for orders. Even though the sun was shining brightly, they did not dare to sit down to rest. They all stood straight and standard. The inside of the hall was completely different from the outside. Various candles were placed inside the hall to maintain bright and appropriate light. There were also ice cubes placed all around, making the hall cool and comfortable.
At this moment, the eunuch Li Yuanzhen was sweating profusely as he read the news he had just received from outside.
The young man sitting leisurely on the dragon chair, in his prime, with deep and stern brows, lowered eyes, said without showing any emotion: "Where are the people now?"
Li Yuanzhen held the information he got from the secret guard in his hand, his eyes slightly resentful, "You can say that the Tenth Prince likes to play, but why did he have to secretly take the little princess away? Isn't this asking for punishment?"
Li Yuanzhen swallowed his saliva, lowered his head tightly and said, not daring to hide anything: "Your Majesty, the Tenth Prince has taken the Twelfth Princess to sit in the carriage and is on the way back."
"And the Tenth Prince and his men also took the child they found with them."
After Li Yuanzhen finished speaking, his underwear was soaked with sweat, and he didn't dare to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
Although this was just a stupid thing done by the Tenth Prince, the people above were angry and didn't care about them, the servants.
Sure enough, not long after, a chuckle was heard from above.
"Hehe, Xiao Shi is such a good brother!"
Li Yuanzhen was so frightened that he lowered his head even more tightly and dared not make a sound.
After a while, another emotionless voice was heard.
"Xiao Shi is back, let him come to my place first."
Li Yuanzhen knelt down and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."
— — — — — — — — — — —
The Tenth Prince, who was sitting in the carriage, had no idea of the tragic fate that was about to come. He felt a little jealous when he saw Wu Yanmeng constantly feeding the little beggar.
"Hey, Fatty Yan, you're not even that nice to your brother!"
Wu Yanmeng angrily glared at the tenth brother who was looking for trouble: "Tenth brother, you are not a child anymore, and you are still arguing with a child. Besides, he is not full, so are you not full too?"
Wu Yanmeng still underestimated her brother's shamelessness.
The Tenth Prince rolled his eyes at the biased little girl and snatched the snack from the little girl's hand, "Hey, Tenth Brother is hungry now! Let's eat!"
The secret guards hiding nearby and protecting the prince and princess twitched their lips when they heard this.
Did he remember what the Tenth Prince said? Or did he remember it?
If the Tenth Prince knew that he had secret guards who were specifically recording his life and protecting him, he would never have such a childish conversation with his younger sister, but the Tenth Prince is still too naive now.
Qingyin quietly listened to the quarrel between the two siblings and the secret records made by a secret guard, and once again felt a little sympathy for the naive Tenth Prince.
Not to mention anything else, the Tenth Prince will probably have to get beaten for his mouth, Qingyin thought silently.
They arrived at the palace, and the people inside learned the news and waited at the palace gate early in the morning.
The Tenth Prince looked at the familiar face leading the group, and his heart sank. He stiffly said to the young eunuch in front of him, "Eunuch Li, this isn't the Emperor looking for me, right?"
Li Yuanzhen silently sympathized with the young boy in front of him for a second, shook his head firmly, and said with a smile: "Tenth Prince, please go with me to the emperor first."
Tenth Prince: "I..."
Before the Tenth Prince could use the little princess as an excuse again, Li Yuanzhen continued with a smile, "Tenth Prince, don't worry about the little princess. We are responsible for sending the little princess back to Changchun Palace."
Wu Yanmeng's eyes were full of gloating, and she waved her hands happily at her brother who was courting death: "Goodbye, Tenth Brother, Bye, Tenth Brother, I'm going back to the palace first."
Wu Yanmeng took Qingyin's hand and was about to get on the sedan chair to go back. The eunuchs were not surprised by the strange beggar children. Eunuch Li had informed them in advance, so they carried the two children up steadily.
The mother of the tenth prince and the twelfth princess, Concubine Yu lived in the main hall of Changchun Palace. Children in the palace would move away from their mothers and live in the princes' or princesses' quarters only when they were six years old.
Wu Yanmeng is only five years old now and does not need to move out of Changchun Palace. Originally, the Tenth Prince could not kidnap Wu Yanmeng today, but today it happened that Concubine Yu went to the Imperial Garden to appreciate the flowers and she was not there, so the Tenth Prince became bolder.
As Changchun Palace was temporarily without a master, these maids failed to stop the Tenth Prince, and the Tenth Prince took the little princess away.
Imperial Concubine Yu was a charming beauty, and she was mixed with Xiao Qingyan and the Tenth Prince, both of whom were also pretty girls and handsome boys with strong facial features.
At the gate of Changchun Palace, Wu Yanmeng looked at her charming and amorous mother in the distance. Her eyes suddenly became happy. She ran up happily and threw herself into her mother's fragrant arms, "Mother!"
Concubine Yu gently touched her little daughter's soft hair and said "ah" softly.
"Are you hurt when you go out, baby? Let your mother take a look at you." Concubine Yu anxiously twisted the little girl's chubby body, pinching here and looking there, fearing that there were undiscovered wounds.
Wu Yanmeng followed her mother's movements obediently, "Mother! Brother Shi just took me out to play. Nothing happened, and no one bullied me. I saw a lot of brothers I didn't know outside, and a big horse."
Although Wu Yanmeng seemed very rebellious in front of the Tenth Prince, she was very well-behaved in front of her dear mother and would not tell anyone about any danger.
Speaking of the Tenth Prince, the "filial son" she gave birth to, Concubine Yu was furious, "It's all your Tenth Brother's fault. You were still so young, and he didn't even tell me or your Royal Father before he took you out of the palace. What would Mother do if something unexpected happened to him! Humph, if your Royal Father doesn't beat your Tenth Brother up, I will beat him up myself!"
Looking at her mother who was angry, Wu Yanmeng secretly glanced at her mother's face and dared not speak.
Brother Shi, you’d better just wish him good luck.
The clever little girl did not mention the stupid thing her brother had done, and pushed Qingyin in front of Concubine Yu as if it were a gift.
