Gao Xili was still sleeping with Song Xiaobei in his arms. She was conflicted about what he had said. The imperial power was supreme. How could she let him do whatever he wanted?
"Dear, let me make this clear in advance: no matter what happens, if another woman appears beside you, I will leave on my own accord.”
"That won't happen. Other than Xiaobei, no one else has the guts to do so. I won't let anyone get close to me either. Xiaobei, I love you. When your health is better, I will ask my royal brother to bestow you with a marriage. First, let you become the happiest person, then let our child be happy.”Gao Xili said as he kissed the person in his arms.
"Dear, I love you too."
She returned the kiss. This kiss was lingering. His heart was racing, and his body immediately reacted.
Xiaobei, you're playing with fire." He whispered, tidied his robe, and walked out.
She giggled. A pure and beautiful man was so cute.
After a long time, he returned to his room. She was already asleep. He kissed her forehead, afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold it in. He didn't dare to get on the bed and leaned against the bed, slowly having a sweet dream…
The next day, there was nothing much to do in the court, so Gao Xili returned to the Prince's mansion early.
"Xiaobei, I want to go horseback riding with Little Seven and the others. Does Xiaobei want to go?" He wanted to bring her to relax.
"Alright! I don't know how to ride it yet." Song Xiaobei smiled.
In this era, horses and cars were the means of transportation. If he didn't like cars, then he had to learn how to drive a horse.
After a while, Gao Xili brought Song Xiaobei to the horse track. When Song Xiaobei saw Gao Ximeng and Shangguan Yu, she also saw unfamiliar faces.
"Xiaobei, that's fourth brother, Gao Xixu. Let me introduce you."
Gao Xili and Song Xiaobei walked forward. Gao Ximeng and Shangguan Yu followed.
"Greetings, Fourth Brother." Gao Xili saluted.
"Fifth Brother, you don't have to be so polite," Gao Xixu said lightly.”
Song Xiaobei had to admit that she was surrounded by flowers. Gao Xixu was handsome and had the charm of a mature man. His gaze was gentler than King Leng's, and he looked more experienced.
"Ling, this is Song Xiaobei."
"Greetings, Fourth Prince." Song Xiaobei did the same thing as Gao Xili.
"Miss Song need not be so polite. Just call me Fourth Brother like Fifth Brother.”
Gao Xixu could vaguely feel that the woman in front of him had spiritual energy. He could also see that Fifth Brother was very protective of her. The other two were familiar with her and treated her very specially.
"Alright, Fourth Brother. Fourth Brother, just call me Xiaobei."
"Okay, Xiaobei."
"Fourth brother is so approachable. It's different from what I imagined.”
"Why?"
"The entire country of Liang belongs to the Gao family. His Highness is a second-generation heir, so he should be unattainable. I didn't expect you to be so easy to talk to."
Gao Xixu was amused and asked with a smile,""Aren't Fifth Brother and Seventh Brother sitting on clouds?”
"They are different. Let me first get to know Qin. Qin is the short form of the Fifth Prince. " Kindness " represented kinship and intimacy. At that time, the situation was a little special, so I didn't treat him as a prince. Later, I met Meng and Yu, they are my friends.”
"Why is it kinship and not encouragement?"
"Calling him by his name is worrying about his life." Prince Li was a bit awkward. The word 'kiss' flashed across his mind, and 'kiss' became synonymous with this person. Fourth Brother, am I weird?"
"No, Fifth Brother is very lucky to know you.”
"What does Fourth Brother like to do?"
"Drink some wine and go sightseeing."
"King Xu's intention isn't the wine, but the mountains and rivers. The mountains and rivers are happy, the heart is happy, and the wine is drunk.”
"Well said, Xiaobei knows me.”
Gao Xixu was in a good mood. He got up and whipped his horse. Gao Ximeng and Shangguan Yu competed.
"Cool!" Song Xiaobei shouted from behind them.
Gao Xili took the horse from the stable keeper and stroked its neck.""This is Rufeng. He's very gentle. Little Bei, don't be afraid.”
Gao Xili's mount was called Gale. This horse wasn't called Hurricane or Tornado. Rufeng sounded like a docile horse.
Song Xiaobei stepped on the stirrups and lifted her legs. Her movements were smooth as she sat steadily on the horse's back and grabbed the reins.
" First of all, keep your balance. Don't hold the reins too tightly..." Gao Xili said. From afar, a red-robed woman rode her horse over. She casually gave Rufeng a whip and said,"Let's have a match."
" Ah…" Song Xiaobei jumped in fright because the horse started running.
"Little Bei, grab the reins and tighten your legs around the horse's belly.”Gao Xili was so scared that his heart almost jumped out. He leaped onto the horse's back and hugged Song Xiaobei, holding the reins with one hand.
"I was scared to death." Song Xiaobei turned her head and smiled at Gao Xili. Both of them noticed that each other's hearts were beating very fast.
The others rushed over.
"Xiaobei, what do you think? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Gao Ximeng asked, then continued,"The one who caused trouble just now was the Tenth Princess, Gao Xiyue, the pearl that Father pitied."”
Song Xiaobei had not recovered from her illness, and with this incident, not only the Cold King, but also Gao Ximeng and Shangguan Yu broke out in a cold sweat.
"Xiaobei doesn't know how to ride a horse. Why is Little Yue so reckless?" Gao Xili revealed a reproachful expression.
"You don't know how to ride a horse? I saw that she was skilled in getting on the horse and that her sitting posture was standard. I thought she knew how to ride. I'm sorry." Gao Xiyue's voice became softer and softer. She thought that her fifth brother had always liked her sister and rarely spoke harshly. This time, she was rash.
"It's alright, Tenth Princess. I don't know how to ride a horse, but I've ridden it many times.”Song Xiaobei said with a smile. She could tell that she was not a bossy girl. This young girl had delicate features, and her appearance was 70 - 80% similar to the " Sister Lin " in the 7th and 7th edition of " Dream of the Red Chamber ", but healthier and more lively than " Sister Lin ".
"Can I call you 'sister'? Just call me Little Yue."
"Sure, I'm 'Big Sis' and the princess is 'Little Yue'.”
"Sister, how are you feeling? Let the imperial physician take a look."
"Xiaoyue, don't worry. I'm fine.”
"Alright, Seventh Brother, let's have a match.”
"I don't compete with women, except for Xiaobei.”
Gao Ximeng saw Song Xiaobei's expression gradually return to normal and teased her.
"Although I don't know how to ride a horse, if both sides choose three people and three horses to participate in the competition, our side might not necessarily lose.”
"Why?"
Everyone was surprised. A person who didn't even know how to ride a horse, yet he was so confident.
Song Xiaobei told the story of Tian Ji's Horse Racing, and everyone tasted the meaning behind it.
"Dear, I'm not going to learn today. Take me to run two laps.”
"Good!"
They rode on horses. Gao Xili hugged Song Xiaobei tightly.
As the horse galloped, she felt very relaxed and at ease.
"Xiaobei, what do you think? Are you feeling unwell?" Gao Xili asked with a worried tone.
"Dear, it feels so good. My heart is flying.”
After the horse ran two laps, Gao Xili brought Song Xiaobei down from the horse. After resting for a while, they chatted about everything. Song Xiaobei felt that it wasn't enough, so she let the horse carry her for two more rounds before she was satisfied.
Everyone was having a great time, and it was almost noon. After eating, drinking, and playing, the next step was to eat and drink. After some discussion, they decided to go to Fragrance Restaurant.
From afar, Song Xiaobei saw a group of people surrounding her. When he got closer, he saw two men in black and white fighting over a bag of silver.
The man in black explained,"I'm just a butcher. I wake up early and work late. I work hard." Sometimes he earned two taels, sometimes he earned one tael. It was not easy. It was not easy to save up more than a hundred taels, but he did not expect that this despicable person would steal it. Looking at his bright clothes, why did he do such a sneaky thing?”He spoke with great emotion.
A young man in the crowd echoed,""Killing pigs is very hard. I'm also a butcher. I didn't earn as much as big brother, only fifteen taels.”After saying that, he smiled embarrassedly.
Someone recognized the black-robed man. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and criticized the white-robed man. The man remained calm and did not say a word.
Song Xiaobei saw that the man's gaze was deep and calm, so she took out two pieces of silver from the controversial purse and placed them under a tree where ants were climbing. After waiting for half a minute, nothing happened. She put the silver into the purse and handed it to Gao Xili. He then said to the young man in the crowd,"Little brother, lend me your silver.”
Hehe, such a beautiful young lady talking to him, the young man's soul flew away. Someone elbowed him before he reacted and took out a dirty and old money bag from his pocket. Shangguan Die 'er also took two pieces and placed them under the tree. After a while, a few ants crawled towards Silver. Some of the crowd could see it clearly.
When he saw this, the black-clothed man remembered that sometimes, a bit of minced meat would fall to the ground and attract quite a number of ants. He panicked and said,"My silver has been stored for a long time. It doesn't taste like meat. It's not surprising."”
Shang Die 'er removed the ants on the silver, picked it up, and handed it to the young man with a smile,""You have some brains." She saw Fragrance Restaurant not far away and walked over to ask the shopkeeper for a bowl of hot water. The shop owner recognized the girl from last time and quickly asked the waiter to bring the water over. Song Xiaobei asked Gao Xili to take a few pieces of silver from the money bag and put them into the bowl. When the silver entered the water, everyone's eyes widened, but they did not know what to look at. Because water was still water, and money was still money. She took some silver from the old purse and put it into the bowl. Clang! Clang! The silver was poured into the water.
"There's oil." The person standing in front saw it very clearly. When the silver was in the water, the surface of the water was covered with oil.
The man had a bad feeling and wanted to escape, but he was stopped by Gao Ximeng and Shangguan Yu.
Shangguan Die 'er smiled and said to the black clothed man,"Could it be that Silver took a bath this time?”
The man lowered his head, speechless.
Everyone understood that it was a thief crying out to catch a thief. They did not notice that the white-robed man was smiling. Everyone was very angry at being fooled. Some cursed, some threw rotten vegetables, and some threw soil directly. The black-shirted man fled dejectedly.
It turned out that part of the man in black's words were true. It was just that recently, he had been involved in gambling and the silver he had earned was gone. He wandered around the street and saw the man wearing a white brocade robe stained with tea stains enter the clothing store. He followed him in. When the man in white was changing, he secretly weighed his money bag. He made vague gestures with his hands. The shopkeeper thought that they knew each other, and the man thought that he was a waiter in the shop. He quietly took the money bag and slipped away. The person chased after him. He wanted the white-robed man to be a sucker, but he did not expect that he would lose all his face.
"Thank you for your help." The white-robed man bowed.
"It's a small matter. It's not worth mentioning." Song Xiaobei handed the money to him and the young man respectively, then smiled and entered the restaurant with her companion.
The man in white was the Emperor of Xia Country, the 29-year-old Leng Aotian. Liang and Xia had been in a stalemate for many years. This time, Xia Country had suffered a loss in silence. This was not the style of Emperor Leng. Thus, he went to the Country of Liang to investigate. He had seen Gao Xili's portrait before. He could tell that Empress Leng had a special relationship with that woman. The silver incident allowed him to find the answer. Leng Aotian had listed her as someone who could not be underestimated. He left the restaurant and the secret guards followed him. He gave a few instructions in a low voice, and a guard quickly left.
Song Xiaobei didn't know that she was the center of attention. Guan Supeng was in the crowd. When he saw her appear in front of everyone, he heaved a sigh of relief, but his heart was pounding. A guard from King Qin's residence was also present. A few days ago, when Song Xiaobei was lecturing on Red Cliff, he had been sitting beside her. He never dreamed that he would hear such a wonderful story. When they went back to talk about this matter, everyone unanimously agreed with their boss. Killing her was stupid. They became Song Xiaobei's followers. Send one person out every day to see if something good happens. Now, they met again. The guard thought to himself,"I'll ask my brothers about this and see how they judge."
"Sister, how do you know that person is innocent?”
"His eyes are clean. The eyes were the windows to the soul. However, these were all guesses. If there was no situation, he would have to find another way. A lie needed more lies to cover up, and there would always be flaws.”
"Sister, you're so amazing. Where's your home? I'll go play with you when I'm free."
"My house is very far away. Xiaoyue can't go. I'll stay at your fifth brother's house temporarily."
"King Leng?"
Everyone laughed. As long as he had Song Xiaobei, the Cold King would not be cold.
"Sister, stay with me in the palace for a few days. Although the palace is big, I don't even have anyone to talk to. I'm only closer to Fifth Brother and Seventh Brother. I haven't seen Fourth Brother in the past few years."
" Don't. I dare to barge into this dragon's pool and tiger's den. I might get killed." Song Xiaobei said as she gestured at her neck.
Everyone laughed. It was true that it was a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, but how many people could see through it, and how many people would flock to it.
Everyone ate, talked, and laughed. Gao Xiyue was very excited and chattered nonstop. Gao Xixu was affected by this and occasionally joked.
After eating, drinking, playing, and having fun, everyone separated. Gao Xiyue reluctantly and helplessly returned to the palace.
