Pet official

Empress Wei was worried, and when she was leaving, she told Song Ke not to do anything wrong, and everything had to be arranged by her elder brother.Song Ke flew to the racecourse early with a heart. He was impatient, and after a few perfunctory words, he urged the servants to leave quickly.

Empress Wei called Zheng Changchun aside again and told him to take good care of the tenth prince.

Zheng Changchun groaned in his heart, Song Ke's domineering temperament, except for the crown prince and Queen Wei, who can control him?It is already difficult for him to let him go with him, but now he has to entrust him so solemnly, if something goes wrong with the ten princes, wouldn't it be his life?

As a slave, he has to suffer on his own. How dare Zheng Changchun disobey his master's orders.After listening to the lesson with her head bowed, she fully agreed, and Empress Wei felt relieved and let everyone leave.

Song Ke couldn't wait any longer, he pulled Song Bi, got into the carriage, and urged the driver to leave quickly.

The driving eunuch raised his whip, and the car sped out, and arrived in front of Yongqing Gate in a blink of an eye.

Zheng Changchun hurriedly followed, took Ruan Yunqing and others into a mule cart, and the group left the imperial city in a mighty manner.

Ruan Yunqing couldn't hide his excitement, this was the first time he had left the imperial city since he entered the palace.He opened the curtain of the car and peeked out secretly, only to see the noise of people on the street, people coming and going, it was very lively.

The other little eunuchs also came over and looked out, pointing and prodding, "Hey, Yunqing, look, there is a sugar blower over there."

Ruan Yunqing hurriedly looked in the direction of the little eunuch's finger, and sure enough, he saw a fellow villager in short clothes, guarding a small stall, kneading dough on a clean stone slab, adding oil, and holding a piece of dough in his hand, kneading it a few times , and became an old birthday star holding a fairy peach in his hand.

The little eunuchs were amused, and couldn't help discussing it. Zheng Changchun coughed, and said with a straight face: "There are no rules! This is the street, why are you yelling so decently? Let the common people see this, The people who come out of our palace look like they have never seen the world, and they are not laughed at?"

The little eunuchs all lowered their heads, and Zheng Changchun pulled down the curtain of the car, not letting them look at it again, "What's so good to see, when you get through it in the future, if you don't have any good things, a candy figure will become a rarity." In this way, it is simply useless!"

After hearing this, everyone dared not speak. The chief eunuch ordered the junior eunuchs not to dare to look out. Ruan Yunqing was extremely disappointed. They were eleven or twelve-year-old children. In the eyes of Ruan Yunqing and others, Zheng Changchun said The good things mentioned are far less interesting and fun than these gadgets.

No one dared to talk and laugh loudly, Ruan Yunqing and the others didn't even dare to show their anger, so they went to the racecourse in the suburbs of Beijing with big eyes and small eyes.

This horse farm occupies a large area, and it is closely connected with the hilltop used by the emperor for hunting in winter. As far as the eye can see, under the clear sky, a piece of pasture is boundless.

The steward in the racecourse had received the news earlier, when Ruan Yunqing and the others arrived, the steward had already led a hundred or so instructors and warriors waiting by the side of the racecourse.

Brother Song Ru got out of the carriage, and the steward and others hurriedly knelt down to salute.

"Get up."

Song Ke waved his hand, and said to the steward, "Bring out all the best horses here, and show them to our brothers!"

The steward made repeated noises, and hurriedly retreated to make a fuss.First, a dozen or so coaches with outstanding riding and shooting skills were found, and they told the horsemen in charge of the stables: "Go and tie up those fierce and untrained horses, and pick a few gentle ones that are easy to ride. Let the mare come out and let His Royal Highness and the Tenth Prince ride."

Ma Tou understood, and hurriedly led people into the stable to choose.The steward turned his head and said to the instructors: "Be sure to protect the two princes, don't fall, don't knock them, and make them happy with all their tails, do you hear me? Be vigilant, I'm not To scare you, if a single hair of the princes falls off, our little lives will be on the line!"

The coaches at the racecourse are all assigned to members of the royal family. Everyone understands the pros and cons, and they don't need to be in charge, and they will naturally cheer up 12.

The steward put his heart into his throat, and ordered several times before leading the instructors over.

"The lower official specially picked a few martial artists to come over and practice riding and archery with the two princes."

Song Ke was elated when he heard that, he dragged Song Bi into the racecourse, and patrolled among the trainers.

All the coaches saluted again, all of them lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to the eye.There was only one person who was different. Although his head was lowered, his gaze was turned to the side. He didn't stare straight at the ground like the others. The dissatisfaction on his body could be seen from a long distance away.

Song Ke has a young heart and doesn't have so many calculations in his mind. He just rushed to pick the horse. He glanced at the instructor, but he didn't feel anything wrong, so he asked the steward to lead the way quickly and led him to the stable to choose the horse.

Song Bin could see clearly, seeing that the instructor straightened his back after saluting, and when he raised his head, his face was full of disdain.

There are many people who pretend to be respectful to the members of the royal family and swear behind their backs, but it is really rare for someone like this coach who dares to put his disgust on his face so bluntly.

Song Fu couldn't help but look at him twice, and saw that the man was not tall, and his features were not outstanding, but he was full of heroic spirit, and the tendons on his body were bulging and firm, which was the result of years of practice.

The carriage that Brother Song Ruo rode was brisk, while the mule cart that Zheng Changchun and others rode was much slower than the carriage.Brother Song Yuan had already entered the racecourse, Zheng Changchun and Ruan Yunqing rushed over.

Zheng Changchun hurriedly jumped out of the mule cart, greeted Ruan Yunqing and the others: "Monkeys, be on the safe side, don't go crazy as soon as you get out, we're not just here for fun!"

The little eunuchs agreed, jumped out of the carriage one after another, and followed closely behind Zheng Changchun.

Ruan Yunqing also hurriedly followed, and the group of people hurried forward, and finally arrived in front of Brother Song Bin.

When Song Ke saw Zheng Changchun, he immediately showed disgust, "Who told you to come? It's in the way, and annoying! Stay away from me, and be careful of the ruthlessness of the young master's arrows, I will shoot you all like a sieve in a while!"

This little overlord can really do it.

The little eunuchs were trembling with fright, even Zheng Changchun trembled, he couldn't explain the truth to Song Ke, but if he went back like this, it would be difficult for Queen Wei to explain.Seriously, it's not right to stay, or to go, life and death are embarrassing.

Zheng Changchun rolled his eyes and said with a smile to Song Ke: "What the tenth prince said is that we all stay away and don't block the way. I have heard that the tenth prince is very brave, so our family only brought a few young ones , come here to open your eyes. The tenth prince also let these little eunuchs see what a hundred steps is called!"

Zheng Changchun was treacherous and cunning, he had been up and down in the palace for a long time, he had never seen any kind of battle, he coaxed Song Ke into a smile with a few compliments, and he didn't chase them away anymore.

"Okay! Today, I will let you open your eyes!"

Zheng Changchun let out a long breath, and told Ruan Yunqing and the others to follow quietly, and never let the crown prince and the tenth prince be left alone.

The steward led the horse's head, and pulled out a dozen horses from the stable for Song Ke to choose.

Song Ke looked at the horses one by one, and finally chose a fat black horse with a long mane.He led the horse to the front of Song Ju, and showed off: "Brother, take a look, is this horse any good?"

Song Ru took a look and said with a smile, "It's okay."

This horse has solid limbs, a big head and a broad forehead, short and short legs, a broad chest and a long mane. It looks like a native Dongli horse.This kind of horse is usually used for carrying heavy loads. It has excellent stamina and is cold-resistant and easy to raise, but its speed is not good. Generally, merchants who carry goods over long distances prefer to use it. Even if they go to the battlefield, they only use it to carry supplies. It will not be sent to fight.

However, this horse has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, it has a gentle temperament and is particularly tough. Compared with those irritable Beimang horses, as long as it is not startled, it will generally not lose its temper.

Most of the horses in Dongli are like this, and war horses are hard to find. Therefore, Dongli's war horses are usually trafficked from Beimang. The state does not allow private breeding of war horses. There are more than a dozen horse farms in Dongli, and they are basically managed by the government. In addition, only military households on the frontier can raise war horses.

In recent years, the relationship between Dongli and Beimang has become hostile, and the border disputes between the two countries have become more and more fierce. Beimang has strictly prohibited the sale of war horses to Dongli people, and the source of war horses has been in urgent need again and again. The number of horses smuggled out of the country is far less than before. The shortage of horses in the army has now become a major problem for the court.

Song Ke straightened the horse's mane, and couldn't help showing pride, "I think it's good too! Look at how beautiful it is, with thick fur and shiny mane. It looks like a good horse!"

Song Ru is well aware of the tricks.No matter where, as long as the safety of the members of the royal family is involved, the superiors and subordinates will all adopt the safest method to ensure the safety of the members of the royal family.

Everyone needs to eat, there is no reason to lose someone else's food just because of your whim.

It is only natural that the steward of the racecourse has such precautions.He must have been timid and afraid of getting into trouble, so he hid all the Beimanglie horses in the racecourse in advance, and only brought out these gentle Dongli horses for them to choose.

Song Ju chuckled, and didn't expose it at the moment, just smiled and said to Song Ke: "You are still young, and your stature has not yet grown up. It is suitable to ride such a horse. When you grow up, my brother will give you another real one. my steed for you."

"Really? Don't lie to me!"

Song Ru nodded and said, "Definitely!"

Song Ke was overjoyed. He got on his horse and shouted loudly to Song Ru: "Brother, let's go for a walk with me!"

Song Ru hurriedly told Song Ke again: "Be careful, keep the horse's reins tight, this horse has a gentle temperament, as long as you don't startle it, it will never go wrong."

Song Ke curled his lips, "It's really long-winded, why are you talking like a mother! I'm not a child, and I ride a horse well, so I don't need you to remind me everywhere!" He knocked on the horse's belly, and the flying horse out of the school grounds.

Song Ren couldn't help shaking his head, Song Ke's temper was impatient, and he didn't listen to others' persuasion. Empress Wei spoiled him too much, which made him more and more courageous. .

Song Fu sighed softly, no matter what, he couldn't say this in front of Queen Wei.The relationship between me and my mother has just eased, and my mother is so pampered to Song Ke. Once I say this, my mother will not only not appreciate me, but will also scold him for being narrow-minded and not seeing my brother as better than him. good.

Thinking of this, Song Ru couldn't help laughing bitterly.With a flick of his clothes, he flew onto a bay red horse, his wrist trembled slightly, he shook the rein in his hand, and let out a soft drink.The horse immediately galloped out like an arrow flying from the string, and arrived in front of Song Ke's horse in a moment.
