Xi Xian rubbed the sides of her forehead lightly, and got up drowsily. The scenery of the frontier fortress was indeed as magnificent and vast as described in the book, but the wind and sand blowing down for a few days had already made people lose the mood to appreciate the scenery.

"Xuechun???" She called a few times but no one answered outside the door, she had no choice but to get up and wash herself, until everything was tidied up, Xuechun came back from the outside panting.

"Early in the morning, where did you go to play again? You have only lived in the general's mansion for a few days and you are so familiar with the people in the mansion." Although Xi Xian said this, there was no trace of blame in her tone.

"Princess, you have blamed me this time. I saw Eunuch Liu when I went to the kitchen to bring you breakfast. He said that the emperor had a piece of clothing for you, so I went to get it for you." Xue Chun said and handed it to you. She has a package.

"Clothes?" Xi Xian took it in doubt, and opened it to see that it was a riding outfit.

"The emperor said that there is no wind today and he wants to take you to ride a horse!" Xue Chun said excitedly, even happier than going to ride a horse by himself.

Xi Xian's heart skipped a beat, but then she turned bitter, "I don't know how to ride a horse at all!"

"What is the emperor afraid of? I heard that the emperor is very good at riding horses. Besides, princess, you are so good at reading and painting, are you afraid that you won't be able to learn how to ride a horse?"

Xi Xian chuckled and said, "How can reading and painting be the same as riding a horse?"

Xue Chun pouted and said disapprovingly, "In my opinion, they are all the same, anyway, I don't know any of them."

Waiting on Xi Xian to change the riding outfit, Xuechun exclaimed in amazement, "It's so beautiful! And it's also very handsome. This riding outfit must have been chosen by the emperor himself. The princess is so white and it's best to wear bright red clothes. It's a pity that the princess is in the palace. Only queens can wear it."

Xi Xian looked at herself in the mirror, the bright red riding outfit embroidered with light yellow flowers did make her fair face more delicate, a pair of little red boots with gold rims revealed a bit of playfulness, the petal-style skirt followed The steps are fanning, lively and pretty.

After breakfast, Xue Chun hurriedly pushed her out, as if she was the one who was in a hurry to meet the appointment, and came to the racecourse not long after leaving the city. Because of her special status, the carriage pulled them all the way to the open space dedicated to horse racing.

After getting out of the carriage, there is endless grassland all around, except for some soldiers guarding around, no one else can be seen anymore, suddenly there is a sound of horseshoes at the side, Xi Xian followed the prestige, and saw a white figure going up and down Fen Fei and the horse were on their backs, making dangerous movements from time to time, which made Xue Chun scream out again and again in fright.

It wasn't until the horse ran away that it was almost Xixuan that it was clear that the person on the horse was Yuwen Haoxuan. It seemed that Xuechun's words were [-]% believable.

Seeing Xi Xian's outfit, Yuwen Haoxuan's eyes lit up. The riding outfit on Xi Xian was even more beautiful than he had imagined.

Jumping off the horse, he naturally took Xi Xian's hand and said, "You have never ridden a horse before, right? This horse is called Tongling, and it has a very docile personality. I specially picked it for you."

Xixian tentatively touched Tongling's head, and Tongling really bowed her head in a friendly way to let her caress. Yuwen Haoxuan handed her a carrot and signaled her to feed it to Tongling. After eating Tongling, she really got close to her again. A few points.

Looking at the scene where Xixian and his horse depended on each other, Xuechun couldn't help sighing, "Tongling is really docile!"

"Although it is docile now, it is the bravest on the battlefield." Yuwen Haoxuan took the copper bell and gently smoothed its mane, "The mount Agni that I used to fight around was his father. The last time I fought against the fire, I died to save me, when Tong Ling was born not long ago."

Xi Xian looked at the copper bell with heartache and said, "You miss your relatives too, don't you?" The copper bell rubbed against her twice as if she could understand.

Yuwen Haoxuan looked at them with a smile, "Tongling likes you very much! Try riding on it."

Xi Xian stepped on the horse cautiously, almost lying on the horse's back, not daring to move, holding the rein tightly with both hands, for fear of falling off.

Seeing that she was afraid, Yuwen Haoxuan joked, "Straighten your waist and relax a bit, don't be afraid, even the copper bell will be tense if you do this."

"But I feel like I'm going to fall off at any moment." Xi Xian straightened up tremblingly while sitting on the horse.

"Don't worry, I will help you lead us to walk around slowly for a few times."

After walking around for a few laps, Xixian really felt that she had adapted a lot. Tongling was also very smart, and walked steadily to help her maintain her balance. Yuwen Haoxuan also let go of her hand at ease, and let Tongling take her to trot on the grass. He rode another horse and followed her, emphasizing the essentials of riding a horse to her as he walked.

The breeze gently brushed her cheeks, and the place where the horse stepped was covered with a faint fragrance of green grass. She was no longer afraid of Hou Xixian, and only then did she truly appreciate the joy of riding a horse. It only took her a whole morning to ride steadily on the horseback, and she returned During the camp, Xuechun had already prepared meals, and she was already hungry after studying all morning.

The two were preparing to have a meal, but a soldier announced from outside the tent, Yuwen Haoxuan asked her and Xuechun to eat first, then got up and left with the soldier.

But Xixian and Xuechun waited for a long time after eating and did not see Yuwen Haoxuan came back, but finally Liu Maolin came.

After saluting to her, Liu Maolin said, "Beauty, follow me back, the emperor asked me to pick you up."

Xi Xian suddenly became nervous, "Where is the emperor? Is something wrong?"

"No, General Wang has something important to discuss with the emperor, so the emperor went back first."

After bidding farewell to the bronze bell, Xi Xian and Xue Chun returned to the General's Mansion when it was nearly evening, and they felt sore all over after changing their riding clothes.

"Ah???, riding a horse is fun, but why is it so painful after riding?" Xi Xian lay on the bed and let Xuechun pinch her.

"I don't know, maybe it will be fine in a few days?"

"I hope? Don't be hurt for ten days and a half months." Xi Xian grinned as she was pressed by Xue Chun.

"Yeah, it's your birthday in three days. How about we have a good time on that day?"

"How do you remember my birthday?" Xi Xian asked Xue Chun, turning her head.

"Princess, don't you remember? In Ningguo, sister Lian'er would cook a big bowl of birthday noodles for you every time it was your birthday!"

"Yeah! I don't know how Lian'er is doing now." Thinking of Lian'er, Xi Xian sighed softly. Lian'er was a personal maid who grew up with her since she was a child. The relationship between the two is like sisters.

"Princess, don't worry, General Wei will treat Sister Lian'er well if he is so kind." Xue Chun said, took a piece of handkerchief soaked in hot water and wrapped it around her waist.

"But Lian'er has never left the capital, I wonder if she will adapt to the life on the border?"

Xi Xian lay on the bed extremely sleepy, she fell asleep in a daze while Xue Chun was still talking, and returned to Ningguo more than ten years ago in her dream.

The mother's laughter and laughter sounded again, and Lian'er was still playing with her beside her, and a warm smile gradually appeared on Xi Xian's sleeping face.
