Only this green, not disappointing the spring

When Shangguan Qingyue woke up from her warm bed early in the morning, she found that snowflakes were floating outside the window, and the whole yard was dressed in new clothes. It seemed that the snow had already started falling when she was sleeping soundly last night.

Even though the corridor in the yard, which was used for exercise, had a roof, the ground was still covered with snow because of the wind.

The first thing Xiangxue did when she got up was to tell the maid in charge of sweeping to clean up the corridor. Although the weather was freezing, she was not sure whether her mistress would insist on running.

As expected, after a simple wash, Shangguan Qingyue, with an empty stomach, changed into light training clothes and running shoes that Shangpin Pavilion had specially made for her according to her ideas.

It's certainly not comparable to the sports shoes in the previous life, but it's much better than the soft-soled silk embroidered shoes.

Originally, Xiao Shitou also did morning exercises every day. However, a few days ago, at Bingling's reminder, Shangguan Qingyue sent the little guy to Xinglin Academy to study medicine.

The academy did not accept students so young, but for some reason, the gentleman in charge of reception refused at first, but after going out for a while, he readily agreed.

Shangguan Qingyue had a vague guess about something, but Bingling was very frugal with words and didn't ask anything, so she had to give up.

Shangguan Qingyue, who only had a long braid on the back of her head, ran so fast that steam came out of her head. Everyone in the yard was amazed.

They were wearing thick cotton clothes, but they still couldn't help shivering when the cold wind blew. But my young lady was only wearing a single layer of clothes, and after only two quarters of an hour, she had already started sweating!

An hour later, Shangguan Qingyue, who had finally finished her training, looked at the maids and servants who were full of envy, and said to Xiangxue with a smile:

"Sister Xiangxue, ask the people in the yard who are willing to do morning exercises. Make a set of suitable exercise clothes and shoes for each of them. The money will come from my small storehouse."

Although the Shangguan family has not yet been divided, the old lady has not yet used the money from her granddaughter's shop to subsidize the household expenses.

Since Shangguan Qingyue was the only youngster in the mansion who had his own private vault, it goes without saying how jealous the Second House, who lived a tight life, was.

After giving the instructions, she went to the bathroom to wash and get ready. She had an appointment with Xuanyuan Yan today, and the location was set at the zoo outside Beijing. It had been a while since she last visited General Hei, and she wondered if he would be angry with her.

Unexpectedly, the weather was not good, and it snowed all night last night. But she did not intend to break the appointment. It was inconvenient to travel by carriage, so Xiaohua decided to ride a donkey.

Although Donkey Xiaohua is still short in stature, he is well taken care of by the servants. In addition, he goes out frequently, so his body is full of tendons and he is very strong.

Shangguan Qingyue weighed no more than 80 kilograms, which was more than enough for her to be carried to the outskirts of Beijing.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to go out, she was stopped by Baili Nanqing.

"Yuer, the snow on the ground is three inches thick. There are few people walking on the road in such a cold weather. Why are you still going out?"

She looked at the donkey Xiaohua who had a big red scarf wrapped around her neck and a red, uh, waistcoat on her body, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Since you feel sorry for the donkey suffering from the cold, you still have to take it out!

"Even if you really have to go out for something, you should at least agree to let Uncle Fu drive you, right?"

Shangguan Qingyue rubbed Donkey Xiaohua's head affectionately with her cheek and said with a smile:

"Mother, you are too worried. Even if Uncle Fu is experienced, the snowy and muddy road outside is not stable for Xiaohua to ride on!

My daughter, I am in good health and I am wearing many clothes, so I am not cold. Why don’t you try…”

As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and held Baili Nanqing's tender face in her hands.

"How is it? It's hot, isn't it? Is it very comfortable?"

The slightly cold cheeks were instantly surrounded by warmth, and Baili Nanqing had to admit that this child was really not afraid of the cold!

She coughed and made a final struggle.

"Then...your second brother is resting at home today, let him go with you."

Shangguan Lan rarely rested at home, so Shangguan Qingyue was reluctant to let him go. Moreover, his second brother kept clamoring to stay in Shuiyunjian for a whole day to be "inhaled" by the bookish atmosphere in the store.

He will take part in the Spring Examination after the new year. Although he looks a little naughty, his whole family are scholars. If he does too poorly in the exam, it will bring disgrace to the Shangguan family.

I didn’t feel much before, but now that the exam is right around the corner, no matter how nervous I am, I can’t help but start to feel nervous.

So she continued to refuse.

"Mother, please let my second brother go. He is planning to go to Shuiyunjian to review his studies. This is serious business.

Bing Ling is a skilled martial artist, and will definitely protect our daughter well, so you can rest assured."

In the end, Baili Nanqing still failed to catch her little daughter and could only watch the petite girl riding away on the gray donkey.

She sighed softly.

"This girl is too opinionated. I don't know what kind of man can win her heart."

Shangguan Qingyue had long been accustomed to the strange looks from passers-by. She rode her donkey Xiaohua and enjoyed the scenery along the way, feeling very happy.

At this moment, a carriage that exuded nobility drove past her. The driver whipped the horse whip vigorously as the carriage passed by her, and the donkey Xiaohua was so frightened that she howled several times.

Even Shangguan Qingyue, who raised it as a child, couldn't help but cover her ears with her hands.

She closed her eyes tightly and shouted with some disgust:

"Xiao Huahua, please stop getting so startled, okay? The whip didn't hit you, why are you screaming?

Now you know how happy your life is, right? Look at that horse, it was walking well but it was whipped. It must be difficult for it to grow so big! Alas, pitiful."

The driver twitched his lips fiercely. Was this strange girl mocking him in a veiled way? Humph, she didn't even know who she was. She didn't even know to give way when they passed by.

If I had known she was such a sharp-tongued person, I should have hit her directly with the whip just now!

Bing Ling narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the carriage in front of her. If she was not mistaken, the person sitting inside should be the fifth prince.

I just don't know why that noble man went out in such a cold weather.

Xuanyuan Chen naturally heard the little commotion outside the car clearly. Hearing something strange in the girl's words, he couldn't help but lift the thick car curtains and look outside.

Shangguan Qingyue was wearing a light green cotton cloak today. It looked very ordinary on the outside, but there was something else going on inside.

The interlayer was filled with thick cotton and the lining was crocheted with wool. It was so cold, but she felt as warm as if she was standing on a heater.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, she is just a girl from an ordinary family, whose family background can be considered as wealthy at best.

In addition to her unremarkable appearance, Xuanyuan Chen chose to ignore her after just one glance. Originally, he thought she was a rare beauty because of her clear and sweet voice, but he didn't expect her to be so ordinary.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it polluted his eyes.

I thought this little episode would just pass, but I didn't expect that the woman would keep following the carriage.

As for Bing Ling, who was riding a horse behind her, she was dressed in white and riding a white horse, full of chivalry. It was easy for people to mistake her for a female warrior from some sect in the martial arts world.

Therefore, it is difficult to associate her with the girl riding a donkey in front.

Xuanyuan Chen only brought a young eunuch to serve him personally and a driver to drive the car. The two secret guards hid in a hidden place and would not show up easily.

Therefore, only the driver noticed something was wrong, so he whispered to the people in the carriage:

"Your Highness, that strange girl riding a donkey has been following our carriage. She may have bad intentions. Look..."

The young eunuch who was serving tea and snacks to his master snorted with disdain in his eyes.

"Master, that ugly girl must have seen through your identity and wanted to get close to you! With her plain face and her humble background, she is not even worthy of carrying your shoes!

My fists and feet are enough to deal with a country girl. Can I go down and give her a good beating now?"
