concubines are respected

Chapter 119
As soon as this remark came out, Su Xian originally thought that the third prince would be sullen, and stiffened her neck to accept the rebuttal from the third prince, but unexpectedly the other party laughed loudly without warning, Su Xian was stunned for a while, and said slightly annoyed, "What? Is Suxian's words so funny?"

The third prince stopped laughing, raised his hand along his chest, looked at Suxian's cat-like face with interest, and said with a smile, "Interesting, Miss Lin's words are interesting, and people are even more interesting..."

Suxian said in a somewhat embarrassed voice, "If the third prince is unwilling to help, it's all Suxian's nonsense..." Then she turned sideways and walked towards the horse that was grazing leisurely.

"Miss Lin, stop." The third prince's tone softened, and he took out a white silk handkerchief from his arms, smiling slightly, "I didn't make fun of you, it's just that your face was covered with mud, and I couldn't hold it back for a while." "..." As he spoke, his eyes once again rested on the stained but still beautiful face in front of him, with a 'puchi' sound, he couldn't help laughing again.

Seeing two red clouds flying from Suxian's cheeks, the third prince suppressed a smile, and subconsciously reached out to wipe the stain on Suxian's face.

As soon as she raised her hand, it was empty, Suxian took a step back guardedly, raised her hand and wiped it on her face indiscriminately, but there were mud stains on her hand, and the purposeless wipe at this time made the mud stains even more out better.

The smile in the third prince's eyes grew stronger, and he handed the silk handkerchief to Suxian's hand, pointing to the other's forehead and right cheek, "Here...and here..."

Suxian wiped carefully according to the place where the third prince gestured, then looked down at the mud stains on the handkerchief, and immediately said awkwardly, "Thank you, third prince."

I wanted to raise my hand to return the handkerchief to him, but seeing that the handkerchief was stained, I hesitated again and again, finally bit my lower lip, and said in a low voice, "It's better to wait until Suxian washes the handkerchief before returning it." To the third prince..."

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay." The third prince waved his hand and laughed loudly.

At this moment, Murong Haotian hurriedly galloped over, looking at Suxian who was facing the third prince smiling so happily, but Suxian's face was flushed, as if she was carrying something into her bosom.

It's just that it's far away, and it's not real, Murong Haotian squeezed the horse's stomach in a little anxiety, "drive! ’, the horse ran even faster, walked up to the two of them, and circled around them twice before slowing down.

"Why is the third prince smiling so heartily?" Murong Haotian asked in a low voice, but from the corner of his eye he secretly glanced at Suxian who was at the side.

"Hehe, small matter, small matter..." The third prince waved his hands and laughed, "Miss Lin..."

Just halfway through speaking, Suxian's spiritual eyes flickered slightly, her eyelids drooped quickly, her thick eyelashes fluttered slightly, her face became more rosy, and her pair of beautiful curved eyebrows frowned slightly. Let Murong Haotian know his embarrassment just now.

When the third prince came to his throat, he changed his words, "Miss Lin told a joke, which made Gu very happy, very happy..."

"Oh? What kind of joke is so funny, Suxian might as well tell Haotian..." The boudoir name that was rushed out just now, in Murong Haotian's mouth at this time, said it very smoothly, as if he had called it for a long time .

The blush on Suxian's face faded away, and she forced a slight smile, and said to the third prince respectfully, "The third prince was joking, how can a girl know what a joke is, she's just talking nonsense."

After speaking, he avoided Murong Haotian's gaze, turned around and walked towards the horse beside him.Getting on the horse again, the movements have become quite proficient. Although the whole body is sore, but he tried his best to endure it, pretending to be easy to jump up, gently pulling the rein, the horse took two steps slowly, Su Xing turned back and said to the third prince , "Third Prince, didn't you teach Suxian how to train horses? Suxian humbly asks for advice."

After finishing speaking, his legs lightly pinched the horse's belly, and a voice like Yingming's drink came, "Drive!" ' The horse got the order, and ran away again, but it was no longer as fast as before, and the very rhythmic hoofbeats gradually faded away.

The third prince raised his sword eyebrows, and seemed to be in a very good mood. He smiled and said to the slightly stupefied Murong Haotian, "Brother Haotian, will you accompany us all the way?"

Murong Haotian flew on the horse in frustration, and said in a muffled voice, "Naturally follow."

After finishing speaking, he left the third prince and ran towards Suxian's far away direction.

A half-smile appeared on the face of the third prince, and he got on his horse and followed behind him unhurriedly. Seeing that Murong Haotian was in a disturbed mood, Xu deliberately distanced himself from the two of them.

Murong Haotian ran up at a faster speed, keeping pace with Suxian, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have something on your mind?"

Suxian stared straight ahead, and replied, "Suxian is very good, I have nothing on my mind."

"You didn't tell the truth, I know there must be something in your heart!" Murong Hao, who had always been calm and composed, sped up his speech subconsciously, "But...but you are unhappy because of the imperial decree?"

If you don't mention this matter, if you mention it, Suxian's mood turns sharply and sinks. She glanced sideways at the other party quickly, then turned her head quickly, and replied in a sullen voice, "Your Majesty is blessed. Wouldn't it be beautiful to compete for the position of wife in a competition, and Suxian, a commoner, would dare to be unhappy!"

"Hey, where did you say that? The holy will is hard to disobey. Haotian has no intention of doing this..." Murong Haotian responded with grievances. whip, slammed on the horse's buttocks, and shouted loudly, "drive!"

The horse suffered from pain, galloped and quickly opened a distance from Murong Haotian...

"Suxian, go slowly!" Murong Haotian called out in a little hurry, and rushed to meet her...

Looking at the figures of the two men drifting away, the third prince shook his head and smiled slightly.

********************
After returning to Xiaoyaoyuan, Suxian greeted the queen mother, dragged her tired body back to the room, threw herself on the couch, and never wanted to move again.

Limbs and bones were as if they had been filled with lead, just now in the arena, he only cared about galloping with anger, but the aftermath of bumping on the horse's back became obvious immediately after he got off the horse.

With Murong Haotian's gaze closely following her, the stronger Suxian returned to Xiaoyaoyuan with all her energy, and at this moment she finally collapsed.

I don't know how long I've been lying on the bed, my body is so sticky with sweat, and I don't even have the strength to lift my hands, let alone get on the bed to wash up.

"Miss Suxian, are you okay?" Someone whispered outside the door, and then there was a knock on the door, it was the voice of Cuizhu.

"Suxian is fine..." Suxian struggled to get up from the bed, went forward and opened the door, only to see a yellow wooden bucket in Cuizhu's hand, steaming from the bucket.

"Cuizhu, what are you..." Suxian leaned against the door and asked in surprise.

"The Empress Dowager ordered that the girl must be tired from training horses, so she specially ordered the servants to bring hot water for the girl to take a bath." Cui Zhu smiled and walked into the room with the wooden bucket.

"Hey, this, how does this make it so, Suxian can do it by herself..." Suxian felt warm in her heart, and hurriedly said politely.

Cuizhu smiled slightly, walked straight to the back of the screen on the side of the bed, poured the hot water in the bucket into the bath bucket, put the yellow wooden bucket aside, turned back to close the door, and helped Suxian, who was in low spirits, walked to the back of the screen and said softly, "Girl, you don't have to be polite. The servants also follow the Queen Mother's orders. You have only practiced for one day today, and you are so tired. If you don't keep your spirits up, you will be so tired tomorrow." But what's the matter?"

As he said that, he untied the silk tied around his waist for Suxian, and it seemed that he really planned to take off his clothes for bathing himself.

"Oh, don't bother Cuizhu, Suxian can take off her clothes by herself." Suxian was very embarrassed, although she was also a woman, she was not used to being naked in front of others, her hands subconsciously covered the half-loose silk around her waist.

"Hehe, Miss, I'm embarrassed, so I won't embarrass you." Cui Zhu saw that Suxian's ears were red, but she didn't insist. Add a bucket of hot water."

"Thank you, green bamboo." Su Xian politely blessed her body.

"Hey, look at my brain, I almost forgot the important things." Cuizhu walked to the door and patted his forehead, took out a small white porcelain bottle from his bosom, turned back and handed it to Suxian, "Marquis Annan came here just now. He heard that the girl went back to her room to rest, so she specially handed it over to the maidservant. The Marquis said, 'The medicine powder in the bottle is very effective in relieving fatigue. After the girl soaks it, her body will feel much refreshed.'" "

After finishing speaking, Cuizhu turned around and walked out of the room, and continued to mutter, "Marquis Annan is really a wonderful person, the girl needs to do her best in this competition..."

Suxian looked at the small porcelain bottle in her hand, thinking that she hadn't given Murong Haotian a good face all day today, she couldn't help feeling ashamed in her heart.

After all, the match with the sixth princess was ordered by the emperor, from beginning to end, Murong Haotian was not willing, but the imperial order was difficult to violate, so he had no choice but to agree, but he was full of grievances on him.Thinking about it quietly at this moment, it's really not fair.

She was really tired, so Suxian stopped thinking about it, uncorked the bottle, went up to smell it, the fragrance was leisurely and mellow, based on her usual knowledge of spices, the contents in the bottle must be extraordinary.

Shaking the bottle of Chinese medicine powder into the tub, the room was immediately filled with fragrance, and the smell also made me feel much more comfortable.

Taking off her clothes, Su Xian stepped onto the small wooden step next to the bath tub naked, and probed the water temperature with her toes. The heat and cold are not too bad, so no further delay, she stepped into the tub and soaked her whole body. The warm water swayed slightly, gently Pat on the chest and back, like a pair of small hands kneading to relieve fatigue, the delicate fragrance floats into the nose, and the fatigue all over the body disappears.

Suxian leaned softly beside the bathtub, closing her eyes and resting her mind comfortably.

Not long after, Cuizhu returned and poured a lot of hot water into the bathtub. Although the water temperature was a lot warmer, it was very useful.

"Miss Suxian, you are so busy, the clothes you changed, the servants took them away and washed them." Cuizhu said softly.

"Ah?" Suxian opened her eyes abruptly, and said in a slightly anxious voice, "No need, I will later..."

"Miss Lin, why are you so polite? Yesterday the emperor issued an imperial edict, and the Empress Dowager sent a message to the servants. From now on, the servants will take care of Miss Lin's clothes, food and clothing. You can just practice at ease." After saying that, he planned to Turn around to get the changed clothes on the mahogany hanger beside the bucket.

Suxian is in a hurry, she is not being polite at this time, in the inner pocket of the clothes, there are still silk handkerchiefs of the third prince, the silk handkerchiefs used by the princes of the Daqing Dynasty, and a four-clawed golden python is embroidered with gold silk , which is instantly recognizable.

If Cuizhu sees the third prince's silk handkerchief in his arms and spreads it in the future, he will be even more confused!
