She fell out after crying at the wrong grave
Chapter 16 Danger
Mrs. Chu didn't even bother to look at him.
When she heard the voice, she knew it was her confused daughter who was unable to think straight.
If she offended the young marquis's wife because of this, and then told the marquis about it, it would also cause trouble for her husband. Madam Chu hurriedly glanced at Ah-yi in the crowd.
Ah's expression didn't change at all, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, with her usual smooth and decent smile.
The expressions of the women around them were not very happy.
Everyone in Mankezhou knew that Chu Qingfang was deeply in love with Zhao Hou.
Every time Hengzhi left the city, she would eagerly see him off, and every time she returned, she would eagerly pick him up. But she was shy and always stood under the big willow tree without moving forward, so Hengzhi never saw her once.
You said she followed the rules, the man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried, but she always climbed over the wall and pretended to be a maid to see him. You said she didn't follow the rules, but she never took the initiative to talk to him.
Bad fate. During a casual conversation without Madam Chu, Madam Shao Yin commented like this while eating melon seeds.
Those who admire this young marquis can line up in the capital. Why would they want to stay in this small northern border town?
Therefore, those who knew the inside story just stood there awkwardly, not knowing how to resolve the situation.
"Greetings to the young marquis's wife. I'm Chu Qingfang, a humble servant, and have come to seek your advice." Chu Qingfang's heart was pounding as she walked up to A'ao in a graceful manner and bowed.
Even if you really want to fight for it, you can't make it too difficult for your mother.
She was worried about her mother, but her mother wanted to find a hole to crawl into and refused to look at her with a stern face.
Ah-yi looked carefully at the young lady from the Chu family who introduced herself. Judging from her familiarity with the horse, she must be a good rider. Standing here, she looked graceful and elegant, and also looked very heroic on horseback.
What a nice peach blossom, Ah'ao thought.
She is good at identifying beautiful women and choosing matching clothes and jewelry for them.
Because of this, when they were in the capital, many young ladies from aristocratic families almost broke down the door of the Shangshu Mansion even though they knew she was an unpopular princess.
Every month, Ah-yi collected piles of everything from rouge and powder to brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, and even embroidery made by the girls themselves. She was like a playboy who flirted with women everywhere.
Ah-yi had never learned needlework or embroidery, nor was she good at rouge and powder, so most of the gifts she brought back were sketches of a fan or a hairpin, and they would find a shop to make them according to the sketch.
Although it was against the rules, since it was the princess's work, no one dared to say anything.
Mrs. Cui was worried about this matter. How could she teach such a good princess like this?
Now seeing Chu Qingfang, A'ao was reminded of all the good people she had in the capital.
"I'm not worthy of your advice. I'm not very good at riding and I'm afraid I'll spoil Miss Chu's fun." With Ah's mediocre riding skills, she really didn't dare to go horse racing.
Otherwise, your life will be lost here. Not only will you not be able to become rich in the future, you won’t be able to soak in the hot springs in the next few days.
Everyone could hear this tactful refusal.
Chu Qingfang gritted her teeth. She didn't expect that this laundry girl was so difficult to deal with and she was embarrassed.
"Madam, why should you be so modest? There is no woman in Kezhou who is not good at riding horses. Winter hunting is very lively, and I just want to have some fun with you."
Chu Qingfang glanced at Taoxing who was eating grass with his head down, and after hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but say, "The young marquis has given Taoxing to you, so let us see him."
Ah'ao lowered her head and looked at Chu Qingfang again.
The beauty is beautiful, but her heart is not very good. Even if she didn't deliberately think narrowly of her, Chu Qingfang was exposed, and Ah-yi had to think about it now.
"Oh." Ah'ao pretended to be enlightened, and then continued to play dumb, "So Miss Chu wants to see the young marquis's fine horse. That's easy." As she said that, she walked over, took Chu Qingfang's arm, and brought him over.
The reins were handed to Chu Qingfang before she could come to her senses.
Ah-yi smiled and said, "I am not very good at riding a horse anyway, and I am afraid that I will disappoint the young marquis' kindness. I often hear the aunts in the mansion say that Miss Chu is both virtuous and talented, so I guess training a horse is not a problem for her, right?"
The women who rode horses were mostly forced, except for a few who were born in military families and had learned from elementary school. Therefore, the horses they brought were mostly short and docile, and the probability of them getting out of control was very small.
But Taoxing is different.
Since Chu Qingfang has been eyeing Hengzhi for a long time, she should also know how different Taoxing is from her horse.
Ah'ao didn't want her to lose face in front of everyone, so she said it in this roundabout way to tell her that this was the end.
But Chu Qingfang didn't seem to understand the meaning.
Seeing that she was about to climb onto the horse with gritted teeth, Ah'ao was startled and quickly grabbed her wrist, causing Chu Qingfang to stagger.
At the same time, Madam Chu suddenly pushed aside the crowd and knelt down with her knees bent. Her voice couldn't help but tremble, stiff and anxious, "Madam, please forgive me. I don't know the etiquette, and I dare not ride the young marquis's horse."
A pair of heavy knees hit A'an in front of her, and her mind suddenly went blank.
Even though he felt ashamed for avoiding her with such a sullen look just now, he still begged her when he saw the danger her daughter was facing.
Is this the mother?
A'ao was distracted and thought of Empress Chen, her mother, whom she had only met a few times. She was finally taken back to the palace when she reached the age of 15. Even though she was reluctant to leave Madam Cui, A'ao still had hope of returning to her biological mother.
She waited at the palace gate for a whole day, but Chen Zhaoying never sent out even a servant to say a few words to her.
Yang covered her lips in a pretentious manner, saying, "Mrs. Chu has always been upright and kind. Madam Xiaohou, please do not embarrass Qing Fang for the sake of Mr. Chu."
Ah'ao grabbed Chu Qingfang's hand, but suddenly let go out of embarrassment.
No wonder Yang was able to dominate all the female members of the family at various banquets during the years since the late wife passed away. With such a clever mind and a good eloquence to confuse right and wrong, who could be her rival?
After a brief thought, Ah-yi suddenly raised the corner of her mouth, "Oh? Then what do you think, Madam Governor?"
Empress Chen was a famous beauty, and Ah-yi was no less beautiful. She raised her eyelashes, and her unfriendly expression was already filled with a provocative look. Today, to match this dress, her long eyebrows were drawn as thin as willows.
Yang stood on the observation deck, taking in everything along with Ah-yi's gaze. Her long eyebrows became sharp blades, causing her heart to tremble.
The topic had already been thrown out, even if it was a boomerang, it had to hit this yellow-haired girl. Yang's resentment was even greater, "Since Madam asked, I will dare to say it..."
"Take back your courage, auntie!"
Before the people arrive, the sound comes first.
The man was wearing a neat ochre riding suit, with his long hair tied up in a ponytail. His eyebrows and eyes were sharp and heroic, and he was very extraordinary.
The chief secretary's wife came over again with a warm heart and whispered in Ah's ear, "Madam Xiaohou, this is Qin Xi, the daughter of the governor. Yang is the governor's second wife, so these two have always been at odds with each other."
In such a small city like Kezhou, there are so many family affairs. Ah-yi nodded to Madam Changshi, thanking her for her kindness.
Qin Xi walked up to Ah-yi, bowed and clasped her fists, and said, "Your servant Qin Xi greets the young marquis' wife."
The depressed mood just now became brighter after meeting Qin Xi.
"I hope Madam Young Marquis will forgive me. My aunt is just as nosy as she is even if she lives by the river." Qin Xi's eyes met with Yang on the stage, who was even more angry.
It was worth coming to the pasture today, Ah-yi thought. Such a wonderful scene was something that those conservative ladies in the capital had never seen before.
Holding back the smile that was almost on her lips, Ah'ao was about to reply to Qin Xi, but Chu Qingfang, who had been ignored for a long time, could not bear it any longer.
Taoxing was not tied up. Seeing that no one cared about her dilemma, Chu Qingfang simply snatched the reins and climbed up.
Tao Xing didn't know Chu Qingfang, and the sudden pull startled it. It neighed and ran away with Chu Qingfang.
Ah-yi: ...
Is she sick?
In just a moment, Ah-yi made a firm conclusion in her heart. At this moment, she didn't even care about sympathizing with Chu Qingfang because she was a beauty. Ah-yi was more worried about Taoxing, a good horse. If it couldn't stop and got injured, she would be very sad.
He carried her, a horse with only limited riding skills, for dozens of laps without throwing her off. Where can you find such a good pony!
The women were all stunned at first, and then they all cried out in surprise. Mrs. Chu, who was beside Ah-yi, turned pale and could not utter a word.
Yang, who was forcibly dragged away by Qin Xi, stretched her neck to watch the fun before she went far.
Dozens of eyes were fixed on Chu Qingfang, who was too frightened to scream, but in their hearts they were cheering for the young marquis' wife.
If something really goes wrong today, how will the young marquis explain to Chu Hui? How will the young marquis's wife, who is experiencing this kind of situation for the first time, explain to her husband?
Is the relationship that the young couple has just repaired going to fall apart again?
Ah-yi looked around and would not have let Heng-chi return to the tent if she had known. Now there were women around him, and even the attendants were all women, so no one could stop the march with bare hands.
Even if we go to report the incident and ask for help, it will be too late.
Ah'ao took a few steps forward, calculating the time when Chu Qingfang would pass by the stage next time.
A'an pulled off a thick fur coat from someone's body, weighed it, and threw it on the grass. No one knew what she was trying to do.
But they will soon find out.
As expected, Taoxing carried Chu Qingfang and passed the observation deck again.
Ah's heart was beating like a drum. She saw the right moment, grabbed the saddle with one hand, and with the other hand, pulled Chu Qingfang and threw her down. Chu Qingfang fell on the fur coat, still in shock.
He didn't care whether she was dead or alive. Ah's palms were sweating with nervousness, but she still held the saddle tightly. She took the opportunity to pinch the loose reins in her left hand, and her whole body was hanging in the air on the horse, which was shocking to watch.
Finally, someone on the watchtower came back to his senses. Qin Xi let go of Yang, hurriedly called his horse, mounted it and galloped out to look for someone.
Ah-yi was also terrified. She tried to find an opportunity to change her position while muttering in her heart, "Good luck, please don't throw me off..."
Taking advantage of the tilt of the turn, she finally got the chance to quickly step into the stirrup. Her other leg was originally dragging on the ground to slow down, but now she also lifted it up and climbed onto the horse's back.
No matter whether it was the South Sky, the West Sky or the East Sea, all the gods who were helpful at the moment were thanked by A'ao.
