Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 188 Horse Racing and Qi Yuebin
With Qi Yuebin's willingness to make friends, Nian Shilan's relationship with Qi Yuebin improved visibly.
Although Nian Shilan doesn't like the backyard sisters' tricks, two people are always better than one person fighting alone.
Moreover, life in Prince Yong's mansion was really boring. If the Fourth Prince was busy, the women in the backyard would stay in the small courtyard every day, looking at the sky in all directions, waiting for the sun to set, and another day would pass. It was always better to have someone to talk to than to be alone.
Because Nian Shilan likes horse racing, the Fourth Prince set aside a piece of land in the mansion as a horse farm. Although it is not as exciting as a proper horse farm, it is still a place for entertainment. Nian Shilan often goes to the horse farm and runs all day long. Qi Yuebin followed Nian Shilan and also picked up the horse riding skills that he had abandoned for many years.
However, his body could not bear the intensity of daily exercise for a while, so Qi Yuebin always asked Jixiang to give him a good massage when he returned to the yard.
Jixiang put safflower oil on his hands and rubbed Qi Yuebin's legs. Qi Yuebin's inner legs were bruised from riding horses these days. Jixiang said distressedly, "This year, the concubine has been running around happily, causing the master to have trouble standing straight every day."
Qi Yuebin rebuked Jixiang, "You are speaking without manners again. It was Concubine Fu Jin who invited me to go. Others haven't had this opportunity yet!"
Qi Yuebin had no complaints about Nian Shilan dragging her to the horse farm. On the contrary, she hadn't ridden a horse for many years. She thought she had forgotten the feeling of galloping freely with a horse, but once she got on the horse, she subconsciously squeezed the horse's belly, tightened the reins, and lowered her center of gravity. A series of actions showed that Qi Yuebin had never forgotten it for a moment.
Watching Nian Shilan riding her horse at a gallop awakened Qi Yuebin's long-lost liveliness. She let go of her reserve and imitated Nian Shilan, lowering her body and becoming one with the horse, leaving the strong wind behind.
Nian Shilan shouted loudly in the wind from behind, "Faster!!!"
Qi Yuebin couldn't hear clearly, so she yelled back, "I can't hear you!!!"
Nian Shilan smiled and urged the horse to catch up with Qi Yuebin, "I said faster!!!"
After saying that, Nian Shilan whipped the horse's butt, making it run faster. Qi Yuebin was not willing to be outdone, so he also whipped it and started to compete with Nian Shilan.
In the end, Nian Shilan won by half a horse length. After all, Qi Yuebin hadn't practiced for many years, so it was not unfair for him to lose to Nian Shilan.
Qi Yuebin seemed to have returned to her teenage years, and said to Nian Shilan unconvincedly, "I will definitely win back next time!"
Nian Shilan did not feel offended and said proudly, "Humph! No matter how many times we compete, I will definitely win!"
After the horse race, the two men, exhausted, got off the field to rest, drank a bowl of iced sour plum soup, and then went back to rest. The day was over.
Nian Shilan won the game and returned to the courtyard happily. She didn't expect that the Fourth Prince would be there today. Nian Shilan became familiar with the Fourth Prince and did not hide her personality. "Hey, why are you here so early today, Your Majesty?"
The Fourth Prince liked Nian Shilan's unique and flamboyant style, and teased her by saying, "Shilan, are you not happy that I am here? Then I will go sit somewhere else?"
Nian Shilan didn't care about anything else. She pulled the Fourth Prince's arm and said sourly, "If the prince leaves, don't come to Shilan anymore."
The fourth prince said with a smile, "There is a jealous jar overturned here, how dare I leave?"
Nian Shilan sniffed around, looking innocent, "How could I be jealous? Why didn't Shilan smell it?"
The Fourth Prince was afraid of annoying Nian Shilan, so he changed the subject, "I heard that Shilan has been at the horse farm these days?"
Nian Shilan glanced at the Fourth Prince with some resentment when she spoke of this, "Your Highness is very busy with official duties, Shilan, can't you find a way to pass the time?"
The Fourth Prince knew that he was in the wrong, but the government affairs of the previous dynasty were more important, so he could only hug Nian Shilan guiltily and remain silent.
This made Nian Shilan feel distressed. She gently stroked the Fourth Prince's protruding cheekbones and said, "Your Highness should take care of your health. Shilan, why do you look thinner again?"
The Fourth Prince took the opportunity to play the victim, "It's almost hot again. It's already hot, and the people below are a bunch of good-for-nothings. It really makes me mad!"
Nian Shilan's eyebrows stood upside down when she heard this, but when she thought of the Fourth Prince being right beside her, she put away her anger and gently comforted him, "Then you can't let these people's anger ruin your health. Your Majesty's precious body, how can these petty thieves speculate on it at will?"
Nian Shilan said to herself that she would write a letter to her brother later and see which blind person made the Fourth Prince angry and she would deal with them one by one.
The Fourth Prince knew when to stop, and after Shi Lan had dinner, he turned off the lights and went to rest.
On the other side, Qi Yuebin also received the news that the Fourth Prince stayed at Nian Shilan's place today, and couldn't help feeling a little discouraged. When could he get along with the Fourth Prince like Nian Shilan? No matter how anxious he was, Qi Yuebin also told himself to stay calm. The Fourth Prince would always see him. If he got anxious now, he would have nothing.
Summer is here, and the Fourth Prince brings his family to the Old Summer Palace to escape the heat. The horse farm here is spacious, and the Fourth Prince has time to spend time there with Nian Shilan.
After a long time, the Fourth Prince also noticed Qi Yuebin, who often accompanied Nian Shilan.
Qi Yuebin was well aware of Nian Shilan's possessiveness of the Fourth Prince and tried not to appear in front of him. However, she could not track his whereabouts in real time and there were always chances that she would run into him.
When Qi Yuebin mounted a horse, she pulled a bow and shot arrows, and when she dismounted, she looked like a leisurely lady. This contrast made the Fourth Prince unable to take his eyes off her even more than her original dignified appearance.
Nian Shilan is not a fool. Couldn’t she feel the Fourth Prince’s gaze directed at Qi Yuebin several times?
If they were not familiar with each other, Nian Shilan could have directly scolded Qi Yuebin for being shameless, but they have been together for more than a year, and Nian Shilan also knows that Qi Yuebin is trying his best to avoid the Fourth Prince. Besides, whoever the Fourth Prince wants to favor, how can Nian Shilan be qualified to stop him?
The Fourth Prince might have been concerned about Nian Shilan's thoughts and did not immediately favor Qi Yuebin, but he felt like he was hungry because he couldn't get the favor and his eyes were always on Qi Yuebin.
Nian Shilan has dedicated all her acting skills to this. She still drags the Fourth Prince to play as usual, as if she has no idea that the Fourth Prince is drooling over Qi Yuebin.
But this kind of self-deception always has a time limit. Seeing that the Fourth Prince's eyes were getting more and more explicit when looking at Qi Yuebin, Nian Shilan knew that she couldn't delay it any longer. After a long time, Qi Yuebin would also have opinions. Everyone was looking forward to the Fourth Prince's visit. What was the point of Qi Yuebin always following Nian Shilan's lead and hiding?
Nian Shilan thought that the Fourth Prince would go naturally if he couldn't help it, so she might as well be generous for once.
