Three hundred and ninetieth chapters boring on the sidelines
The Queen Mother offered a reward for taming the horse because she was worried about Guo Shao's safety.
Guo Shao has obviously become a powerful minister who is gradually growing. He is not only the highest military general in the front office of the Palace, but also interferes in national policies. At least the Privy Councilor and the two prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall are closely related to him. But he and the royal family have no suspicion... The Empress Dowager not only shows no sign of threatening him, but also protects him at all times. This was a very rare thing in the past.
At this moment, Guo Shao asked to try it himself, and he said, "I am a martial artist. If I don't even dare to ride a horse, wouldn't I give up on my food because of choking?"
So with the help of the imperial guards, Guo Shao took off his crown, put on an iron helmet, and put on a breastplate to protect the vital parts. Everyone looked at each other, looking forward to a good bullfighting show. This kind of horse would rush and get people down after being ridden on the back.
Guo Shao walked over and Du Chenggui sent a whip, but he waved his hand and didn't want it. The dark horse digged the grass and hid Guo Shao, as if it was very human and knew what Guo Shao was going to do.
Unexpectedly, Guo Shao stepped forward and said to the horse: "You are a rare and good horse, and you are very valuable. Now that you are caught, people will definitely not let you go; even if you let go, many people will want to catch you again."
Fu Ermei was amused when she heard Guo Shao's voice, and she covered her mouth and laughed so hard that she trembled with her shoulders: "My husband thinks that horses can understand people's words?"
Guo Shao ignored it and continued seriously: "You want to be locked up like this, and be teased by different people trying to conquer and mock it? Or now become a mount, and like all tamed war horses, go back to the wilderness and gallop."
Everyone listened to Guo Shao's nonsense without saying a word.
After saying that, Guo Shao took the reins, reached out to touch the horse's mane and said, "Maybe we can become friends." He then stepped on the stirrup and flipped onto the horse's back vigorously.
The black horse immediately raised its front hooves high, neighed, and rushed forward suddenly, flashing like a black string arrow. Fu Jinzhan was shocked, got up from the couch and stood up.
"Go!" Du Chenggui, commander of the inner palace, shouted quickly and rushed over with a group of cavalry. However, the troops could not even touch the side and could not catch up with the wild horse.
Fu Jinzhan looked at the northeast, covered her eyebrows with her palm, and looked over her face. She saw a black dot moving at a very obvious speed on the green grassland, and everyone was suddenly in an uproar.
Soon, the black spots climbed up a grass slope and disappeared from sight.
Fu Jinzhan held the silk handkerchief in her hand tightly and waited for a long time. Finally, she saw the black dot back into sight, gradually moving from far to near. "Boom, boom..." The sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and the black horse finally returned to the palace gate and gradually slowed down.
"Wow...wow..." Guo Shao made a sound, and the horse slowly stopped and walked towards this side slowly.
Fu Ermei was also surprised and shouted: "It's so amazing! Can the horse understand your husband's words?"
At this time, Guo Shao turned off the horse's back, stroked the horse's shoulder, and praised loudly: "It's indeed a magic horse!" He led the horse to the front of the screen, turned his head and said excitedly: "Maybe I don't understand, but this kind of good horse is very human."
Guo Shao took out a handful of beans from his arms, touched the horse's mouth, and looked at it expectantly. The horse smelled Guo Shao's hand and licked the beans into his mouth and chewed them. Seeing this, Guo Shao was overjoyed and turned around and said, "The person comes to change the saddle for it... Second sister, do you want to try it?"
Fu Ermei was afraid, and hesitated for a moment, then stood up and ran over briskly.
After a while, Guo Shao carried her on the horse's back and jumped up as he shook the reins of the horse, and ran away on the grassland with enthusiasm again. Suddenly, "Ah..." screamed, Fu Ermei's voice came from the air, and a shoveled head floated down. The two rode a black horse and ran wildly on the grassland. Fu Ermei shouted, not caring about any etiquette.
At this time, the palace maids brought tea, snacks and fruits. Fu Jinzhan felt relieved when she saw that the horse was no longer struggling and bumpy, so she watched the two people running on the grass with the palace servants.
Gradually she felt bored. The sun was rising, the bright sunshine was dazzling, and the surroundings were getting hotter and hotter. But Fu Ermei was still shouting excitedly that Fu Jinzhan was not good enough to affect their interest, so she picked up the tea cup to taste the tea. A light lip mark was left on the tea cup. Fu Jinzhan made up her makeup in the morning, and there was rouge on her red lips.
Her eyes showed tiredness, but she still kept a smile and turned her head slightly. The eunuch Cao Tai immediately reacted and bent over here. Fu Jinzhan said, "It's rare to be happy today. I prepare meals in the Imperial Garden and invite General Guo and his family to have meals later."
"I will send someone to prepare immediately." Cao Tai said.
Although the umbrella cover could cover the sun, it became more and more stuffy. Fu Jinzhan was so annoyed for some reason. Yesterday, when she thought of watching the horse, she was not ready to receive Fu Ermei and others, so she was not satisfied now just watching the couple having fun.
After a long time, they finally came back. Fu Ermei was taken off the horse and suddenly became soft. She sat down on the grass and pressed her chest for a while. Guo Shao hurriedly supported her and stroked her back: "What's wrong?"
Fu Ermei gasped, pressed her hand on her plump forehead, and said pitifully: "Dirty, dizzy..."
Guo Shao took off his helmet and hugged it in his arms, helped her to the couch where Fu Jinzhan was sitting, and carefully asked her to rest. Jinzhan reached out and grabbed Fu Ermei's hand and smiled, "Isn't I asking for trouble, but I can't stand it, aren't I asking for trouble?" After that, he picked up the teacup and fed it to Fu Ermei's mouth.
Fu Jinzhan looked at Guo Shao calmly. He hurriedly helped his second sister to come over, very close. His skin was rough, and the sunlight penetrated from the umbrella cover. In the bright light, even the pores could be seen clearly. There was even a small scar on his forehead, and his shallow beard was from the inside of the person to his chin. It could be seen that he had been trimmed... a rough face that was often exposed to the sun and rain. But Fu Jinzhan liked to look at this familiar face, with a well-proportioned and coordinated shape, rough but looked solid and reliable, and his agile and powerful movements reminded Fu Jinzhan of the ferocious horse.
Guo Shao was sweating heavily, and a smell of sweat came to his face in the breeze. Of course, there was no fragrance, and it even made people feel dirty. But Fu Jinzhan didn't know why, and this smell made her very accustomed to it and she was a little moved.
"Will you better drink a little water?" Guo Shao looked at Fu Ermei with concern. Her rough big hands touched her smooth and tender forehead, and the tendons on the back of her hand rose, thick and strong.
Fu Ermei said sweetly: "Let me rest for a while...it's just running too fast!"
At this moment, Guo Shao seemed to come back to his senses and looked at Fu Jinzhan. Fu Jinzhan's eyes moved away from his face very sharply. Guo Shao's voice said, "I am rude, please punish the Queen Mother."
Fu Jinzhan looked at his solid lips when he spoke. She pursed her smooth and light red lips gently, gently picked up her cup of tea, put it to her mouth and took a sip. With such trivial movements and a little silence, Guo Shao seemed to become a little nervous. He took a step back, lowered his head and raised his fists to the top of his head.
"This kind of summer days is only cooler and hotter in the morning, and it will be here today." Fu Jinzhan said without anger, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "I asked Cao Tai to prepare lunch, and invite the second sister and General Guo to go to the imperial garden for dinner."
Guo Shao said: "Thank you to the Queen Mother to give me a banquet."
After Fu Jinzhan said that, she stood up, and Concubine Du came up to support her wrist and left Yudai. The palace maid also went to support Fu Ermei and took the same carriage with Fu Jinzhan. Guo Shao came with the dark horse and rode his horse with him. Li Yuaner and others rode in the carriage when they arrived and followed a large group of ceremonial guards into the palace.
Deep in the lush garden, a majestic and gorgeous palace came into view. When the group walked in, it was quiet and elegant, completely different from the environment of the Jinxiang Hall in the front hall. Fu Jinzhan took her second brother and her husband to rest in a palace as a relative. Other women were no longer here because of their status differences, so the palace servants arranged for hospitality.
Fu Jinzhan waved her sleeves gently, and the nearby servants retreated. The wide palace seemed empty but very quiet. Before noon, the three of them sat in front of a desk and spoke.
"I heard that General Guo won a great victory in Shu Kingdom. Long live the soldiers together?" Fu Jinzhan said softly.
Guo Shao was stunned and looked back, as if he was confirming that only the Fu sisters were here. He wanted to speak but stopped and didn't know how to answer.
Fu Ermei also looked up. She had stopped playing and said in a trembling voice: "Sister, this is a serious matter?"
Fu Jinzhan said: "Of course, this is the most serious thing in the world."
Guo Shao was no longer looking relaxed. He sat there and said, "It is precisely because of the empress dowager's trust that the imperial guards do not have to arrange checks and balances. The Great Zhou army quickly freed from internal friction, concentrated military power, and immediately made achievements in the attack and destruction of Shu... The power of the minister was also given by the empress dowager, otherwise he would not even have the chance to make meritorious service."
The second sister said, "Does the eldest sister think the empress dowager have a great weight, or do we have a strong relationship with sisters?"
Fu Jinzhan chuckled charmingly, laughing without saying a word. He thought to himself: It's so stupid. If I only rely on my relatives and relatives, I would dare to do that? It's like the imperial power is something that can be given to people casually. I have done so much for you, but I can't leave it behind anyway, so I don't care.
Fu Ermei stood up, left Guo Shao and sat next to Jinzhan, and said softly: "Sister, you must trust my husband. He will not be disobedient. Don't you know that I am with him all day long? Didn't you say that the honor and disgrace between us have always been connected. Don't experience the storms of last year again."
"Of course I trust him. Does the second sister understand how I did it?" Jinzhan said kindly.
Only then did Fu Ermei breathe a sigh of relief.
"Come..." Fu Jinzhan suddenly shouted loudly, and immediately saw Cao Tai appearing in the palace gate. She said, "General Guo was covered in sweat and smelled very bad. You can arrange for him to take a shower and change his clothes."
Guo Shao turned his head and sniffed it on his clothes, and smiled and said, "I can't smell it myself, but the vest is already cold and I'm really sweating a lot."
