Chapter 12 The Beginning of All Sounds (1)

If you can leave Kaiyuan City Gate, it is Wan Yulin.

At the beginning, the trees were sparse, mostly newly planted young trees. The more trees they went inside, the more they could not see the end.

In addition to Zheng and two maids during this trip, there was also a servant sent by Feng Xiaoya, one of whom was carrying the slide rod, named "Meng Buli", and the other one was said to be "Jiao Buqi".

Meng Buli is in his early thirties, tall and thin, taciturn, and only cares about catching a car and basically doesn't speak.

A monument was erected in Linkou. Xie Changyan saw that in addition to the name "Wan Yu", there was also a line of small words written on the monument: "There is no plan for a year as a tree; the plan for a decade is no more than a tree; the plan for a lifetime is no more than a tree. A thousand-year plan for a man, is a tree?"

Xie Changyan asked Meng Buli, "This forest is not born, but a human race?"

"yes."

“When, who planted it?”

"The Supreme Emperor."

Xie Changyan rolled his eyes: "Can the Supreme Emperor grow such a large forest alone?"

Meng Buli showed a tangled look on his face, and after a long time he squeezed out three words: "Take all the ministers."

Xie Changyan laughed "punched" and put down the curtain: "Thank you for your advice, let's keep going."

Zheng asked his daughter: "Why do you smile so sly?"

"Senior brother actually sent such a dull man. Look at his reply, he will never use two words to answer with one word, and never use three words to answer with two words. I want to see how many words can he say today."

"Nothing." Zheng blamed him lightly, but he didn't really pursue it.

After about half a cup of tea, the dense forest in front of me was blocked with fences, and several guards were also guarded.

Meng Buli showed a token, and the guard then let it go, and told him: "There are already noble people inside. Be careful when running, don't bump into it."

Meng Buli frowned when he heard this, "Who?"

The guard said: "Princess Huiwei and her friends."

Meng Buli stopped talking and continued to drive the train.

Xie Changyan bit his ear to Zheng and said, "Princess Huiwei is the eldest princess' daughter, His Majesty's cousin, three years older than me. Xu Yu, the son of Fan Linjun, the Minister of Rites, will be married in the spring of next year."

"The fifth uncle told you all the people in the capital."

"Yes, I have memorized a lot of stories about people and names, all of them are women. I didn't mention the matters of senior brothers." Xie Changyan said dissatisfied. The one she was most curious about now was Feng Xiaoya. For example, does his bones still hurt, how high his martial arts are, do he really have so many wives and concubines in his family? And these things, she was embarrassed to ask herself directly.

Zheng looked at her, wanted to speak but stopped, and looked out the window and turned around: "What are we doing?"

When Xie Changyan saw that their car arrived in front of a stable.

There was only one horse in the stable, with yellow hair, white nose and black beak. Several grooms were combing their hair and feeding them grass. When they saw Meng Buli, they immediately stopped to salute: "Mr. Meng."

Meng Buli stepped forward and touched the horse's ears, and a hint of gentleness appeared on his rigid face.

Xie Changyan immediately refused to help his maid, so he got off the carriage by himself and went up to look at the horse. She was good at riding and shooting, so she naturally knew a lot about horses. When she saw it, she was even more happy: "A good horse. She has a good baby teeth, is she only two years old?"

"Back to this girl, I just turned two years old yesterday."

Meng Buli handed a can of candy to Xie Changyan. Xie Changyan understood and immediately took a few pieces to feed the horse. The horse indeed lowered his head and ate it, and licked the palm of her palm.

"It has a good temperament." Generally speaking, the better the horse is, the more arrogant it is. For example, the second brother Xie Zhixing's Jingzhe horse is never touched by others, and even has to eat and drink water in a separate groove. It is rare for such a relative to this one.

"Yes, it was born to His Majesty's love, Bu Jing, and he has been obedient since childhood."

Xie Changyan was stunned: "What is its name?"

"Back to the girl, it has no name yet, we respectfully call it the young master. His Majesty said that he would give it a name after the girl saw it."

Xie Changyan came to his senses: "Is this the horse that Your Majesty gave me?"

She was watching Meng Buli, and Meng Buli had to nod: "Yes."

Xie Changyan lowered his eyelashes, mixed with the five flavors in his heart, unable to say whether he was happy or worried. His Majesty also gave him a mansion, delicacies and a famous horse. It seemed that he had thoughts everywhere, but it really made people unable to guess the real intention.

"Silver saddle and white nose, green space barrier mud brocade. When the flowers fall in the spring breeze, the whip will be blown straight and the Hu Ji drinks." Xie Changyan touched Ma Er, "Just call Shi Yan."

"The girl is so amazing, she really loves drinking."

Xie Changyan couldn't help but smile.

Just then, a voice came from afar: "Horse who loves drinking? Let me see!"

Accompanied by this sound, a team appeared at the other end of sight, with guards around and noble girls in the middle, with as many as a hundred people.

The girl who was riding first was wearing purple clothes, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and was very bright and radiant. Following behind was an extremely beautiful girl in blue. She had white skin like snow, her eyes were curved, and there was a tear mole under the corner of her left eye. She was sixteen or seventeen years old and looked at her charmingly.

Meng Buli suddenly turned his head and looked at Xie Changyan, with his eyes seemingly sympathetic.

When Xie Changyan was still inexplicably, the girl in purple had already approached. She turned over neatly and jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "Oh, is this the youngest son of the emperor brother Bu Jingsheng? It's so satisfying to see someone. Hurry up, get me the wine, I'll show you."

The groom dared not disobey and handed the wine pot.

The girl in purple pulled out the lid of the pot and fed it to Shi Yu's mouth. Shi Yu immediately started drinking "gudonggudong" and rubbed her head with her head while drinking.

Xie Changyan, who was standing beside him, said nothing: It turns out that he is really a horse that everyone is close to...

However, it seems that this girl in purple is Princess Huiwei. Her mother, the eldest princess, is a real power figure in Yan State. The King of Yan must give in to him when he sees him.

Princess Huiwei smiled and greeted the girl in blue and said, "Look at Wanwan, it's really drinking!"

Xie Changyan was stunned - Wanwan? Has the same name?

"Yes, it's really interesting..." After responding, the girl in blue responded, she looked at Xie Changyan and said with a smile, "I just heard this girl give the name to the horse. The girl must be the 19th lady of the Xie family?"

"Oh?" Princess Huiwei turned around and saw her, "You are the daughter of the Xie family..."

Xie Changyan bowed: "Changyan has met you all."

The girl in blue hurriedly replied, "Thank you for your kindness."

"I saw your third sister when she came to Beijing. You don't look very much like her." Princess Huiwei smiled and said, "I'll introduce it. This is my cousin Fang Wan, who grew up with me since she was a child. This is..."

Princess Huiwei introduced the other people to Xie Changyan one by one, and the girls looked at her with curiosity.

After Princess Huiwei introduced her, she asked Xie Changyan: "You are here to ride a horse today?"

"yes."

Princess Huiwei immediately became interested: "Your father was a general during his lifetime, so I guess your riding skills will not be bad either. Come on, let's compare."

Zheng, who was in the carriage, quickly shook his head at Xie Changyan.

Xie Changyan understood and said, "My riding skills are very ordinary, how could he be the princess's opponent?"

Fang Wan said on the side: "Princess, Miss Xie is a new arrival, she is not familiar with the terrain and has never ridden her to drink. You always have to let her adapt first."

"No, no, no, I must compare with you today. Because——" Princess Huiwei touched Shi Yin's mane and said proudly, "If you can't compare to me, give this horse to me."

It turned out that he fell in love with her horse... Xie Changyan understood where the other party's hostility came from.

"This horse was given by Your Majesty, and I dare not use it as a note."

Princess Huiwei's eyebrows immediately raised high, and her eyes also became sharp: "Do you dare not, or refuse?"

Xie Changyan looked around everyone and saw that everyone had their own expressions on their faces. Some of them sympathized with her, some of them held their laughter and watched the fun, but more of them were exploring and looking at it.

She suddenly understood something.

Just now, Princess Huiwei introduced more than a dozen girls of the same age to her. Except for Fang Wan, who is a relative of the prince-consort, the others are all famous families. In other words, almost half of the ladies in the Beijing circle are here.

This is Xie Changyan, the future queen, the first public appearance in the Yujing ladies circle. Feng Xiaoya arranged her best appearance: a peerless horse, a prestigious opponent, and a skill she is good at.

If she can beat Princess Huiwei, I believe everyone will know tomorrow that the future queen is indeed outstanding.

But if she loses...

"Okay, your senior brother..." Xie Changyan felt so angry that he felt itchy.

"Since that's the case, let's try." Zheng said softly.

The girls also started to make excitement. Princess Huiwei's eyes were shining, full of provocation and expectation.

Xie Changyan took a step forward and was about to agree, but at the moment he said that, he changed his mind: "Since that's the case, the princess will take this horse back. I will write a letter to inform you on your Majesty."

Everyone was stunned.

Princess Huiwei opened her eyes wide in disbelief: "What did you say?"

"No need to compete, I admit defeat. Shi Yin is the princess." After Xie Changyan said that, he turned around and said to Meng Buli, "It's not too early, let's go back."

"Wait!" Princess Huiwei caught up with her, "Why don't you compare with me? Do you look down on me?"

"The princess said this, Chang Yan was afraid of the family. Thank you for your family's teachings. You can only travel, not profitable. Chang Yan dared not violate the family's teachings."

Princess Huiwei was stunned, and Xie Changyan's carriage had already floated away.

Fang Wan sighed lightly: "She has been wandering in art, but where did she place the princess?"

Princess Huiwei suddenly realized: "She is mocking me for making profits through skills?"

Fang Wan stopped answering, but just lowered her head slightly.

Princess Huiwei looked at the horse again and was so angry that she started to tremble. But at this time the groom asked tremblingly: "Will you send Shiyin to the princess's mansion?"

Princess Huiwei immediately whipped the groom's face: "What's the drink? Since it's my horse, I have to call me a name!"
