Chapter 151 First Meeting with Ye Lanyi
During this period, Concubine Wan was under house arrest, but was diagnosed with pregnancy, which made everyone in the harem have different thoughts.
There were undercurrents in the harem, and the concubines wanted to test the emperor's mind.
Seeing that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, the Forbidden City was already hot, and the bad mood made people even more irritable. The emperor came to Huimin and Concubine Jing to discuss going to the Old Summer Palace these days.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huimin thought about the horse that Xia Dongchun had always been thinking about, so she mentioned it to the emperor.
The emperor kept his word and let Xia Dongchun choose one himself.
Huimin was still thinking that An Lingrong was pregnant. She was more pregnant than Zhen Huan and was now more than six months pregnant. She would inevitably feel uncomfortable riding in the bumpy carriage, so she suggested to the emperor to make special arrangements for Concubine An.
The emperor agreed again.
But when Concubine Jing mentioned Zhen Huan, who was also pregnant, the Emperor hesitated.
"She is still under house arrest and cannot be moved. She should just stay in the palace."
"Don't include her on the list of people going to the Old Summer Palace this time."
The emperor made the decision so lightly, and after finalizing the list of people going to the Old Summer Palace, he no longer wanted to care about it.
"You and Concubine Xian will discuss these matters, and finally come up with the rules for me to see."
After saying this, the emperor asked Huimin and Concubine Jing to leave first, citing his busy government affairs as an excuse.
When Concubine Jing saw that the Emperor was unwilling to take Zhen Huan with him, she was at a loss as to what to do.
"Sister, let's discuss going to the Old Summer Palace first."
Huimin naturally has no objection.
It was several days later when the rules were finally finalized and the emperor reviewed them before setting out.
After arriving at the Old Summer Palace, Huimin went to see An Lingrong first. She felt relieved when she saw that she looked fine and was not feeling unwell from the journey.
Afterwards, Xia Dongchun came and invited Huimin to go horseback riding together.
But Huimin looked at An Lingrong, who was pregnant, and became hesitant again.
An Lingrong knew at a glance that Huimin also wanted to go horseback riding, but she hesitated because she was thinking about herself.
As An Lingrong was thinking about it, she burst out laughing, which scared Xia Dongchun.
Xia Dongchun looked at An Lingrong strangely.
"what's wrong with you?"
Just when An Lingrong felt confident, she also felt relieved looking at Xia Dongchun.
But An Lingrong didn't want Huimin to be with Xia Dongchun every day, so she had an idea and said to Huimin.
"Good sister, I also want to ride a horse. I have never ridden a horse in my life. Unlike sister Xia, she has been riding and shooting arrows with Master Xia since she was a child. She has been brave since she was young."
Huimin felt distressed when she heard this. Pregnant women tend to overthink and be sensitive during pregnancy. She was worried that An Lingrong would suffer from depression during pregnancy. Huimin usually paid special attention to An Lingrong, and seeing that she was lonely, Huimin hurried to comfort her.
"Then next year, after you give birth, we'll go riding together. I'll be here with you."
Xia Dongchun was stunned. How could she be so good at talking?
Xia Dongchun couldn't help but speak:
"you……"
Before Xia Dongchun could say anything, An Lingrong immediately lowered her head in grievance.
"I'm sorry to bother Sister Xia. It's my fault."
Huimin watched as the two of them began to fight each other openly and secretly again, especially An Lingrong. Xia Dongchun often didn't understand her secret moves, but she was straightforward and An Lingrong sometimes found it difficult to resist.
When they first started dating, Huimin had to coax both of them, especially since An Lingrong was pregnant, Huimin had to pay extra attention.
But An Lingrong said a few more words to make Huimin remember her, and she no longer kept Huimin.
She knew that Sister Min also liked riding horses.
After having enough fun with Xia Dongchun, An Lingrong took the initiative to let Huimin go, and said that after riding the horse, she should tell her about the feeling of riding the horse.
Huimin saw that she really wanted her to go, and An Lingrong kept persuading her several times, so Huimin went.
There are many horses in this Hundred Horses Garden, and the emperor asked Xia Dongchun to pick one he likes.
Xia Dongchun took Huimin and they carefully selected one. Finally, she saw a red pony and liked it very much, so she decided to buy it.
Xia Dongchun couldn't wait to take Huimin for a ride, but unexpectedly met a woman in blue.
The woman was heroic, riding a horse at full speed, and had a very exotic charm, which surprised Xia Dongchun and Huimin.
Xia Dongchun even cheered for her, "Good!"
How long has it been since I saw such a lively woman in the palace all these years?
The two wanted to ride horses, but how could the palace servants dare to let the two pampered ladies go riding by themselves?
This woman was sent to accompany Huimin and Xia Dongchun.
She called herself Ye Lanyi.
She also heard Xia Dongchun's cheers, but didn't say anything.
After bowing, he asked:
"Have you ever been able to ride a horse?"
Huimin looked at Ye Lanyi. This was the Concubine Ning who dared to turn her back on the emperor.
Before Huimin answered, Xia Dongchun spoke excitedly.
"I have been riding horses with my father since I was a child. I am quite skilled at riding a horse. I don't need you to teach me."
"But," Xia Dongchun looked at Huimin, "but our Concubine Xian hasn't ridden a horse for many years, and hasn't ridden it many times. I need you to take more care of me. When I teach her how to ride a horse, you can help her."
Ye Lanyi looked at Xia Dongchun and agreed.
She thought that all the ladies in the palace were delicate and dainty. The virtuous concubine couldn't ride a horse, and she didn't know how much truth there was in the concubine who said she was skilled in archery and horse riding.
Don't think you are a good rider just because you have someone lead you by the hand a few times.
If anything happened to her, she would have to take the responsibility.
Thinking about this, Ye Lanyi became impatient.
But I have to teach.
Xia Dongchun got on the horse and ran a circle skillfully. She hadn't ridden a horse in several years, but she was not unfamiliar with it at all.
Ye Lanyi's eyes lit up when she saw this. This concubine really has abilities.
I was just thinking wrong.
Xia Dongchun whipped his horse and called to Huimin, "Look, I ride well."
Huimin looked at her proud and bright face, and she also smiled and raised her voice.
"Okay, be careful."
When Xia Dongchun comes back, I will take Huimin for a ride.
The young eunuch next to her was very worried, but Ye Lanyi felt that since this concubine was an excellent rider, it was nothing.
He helped Huimin get on the horse and followed beside her on horseback.
Xia Dongchun was riding with Huimin. In order to help Huimin adapt, she rode slowly at first, but after waiting for a while, she saw that Huimin was not feeling uncomfortable, so she sped up.
Feeling the whistling wind, Huimin's heart was beating wildly.
Very exciting.
Huimin thought.
But it's also very free.
Unconsciously, a smile appeared on Huimin's face and her mood became relaxed.
Life in the Old Summer Palace was indeed freer than that in the Forbidden City.
After Xia Dongchun took Huimin for a few laps and got off the horse, Ye Lanyi rarely started to praise him.
"You are a good horseman."
Xia Dongchun looked at the horse trainer. She was neither humble nor arrogant. Unlike those little eunuchs, they were eager to flatter her. Baijunyuan had little benefits, so they were eager to please the two ladies who had come here with great difficulty.
I just hope to get more rewards, or have the luck to be noticed by a noble person, so that I can leave this Hundred Horses Garden.
But Ye Lanyi's attitude was very different and interesting. Xia Dongchun thought about it and said:
"I see you're pretty good at riding, would you like to compete?"
