The Prince Consort's Beloved

The army set out on the expedition, and hundreds of civil and military officials saw them off. It was a spectacular scene, with a sea of heads everywhere.

The eldest princess and Li Youan stood behind the emperor. He Wenzheng tilted his head to glance over there, but he couldn't see the subtle expressions on their faces because it was too far away.

He thought that Yuan Tao's eyes must be red again. She was such a bright and beautiful person, and she had been worried about him recently, so he should come back early to accompany her. Let others fight this battle in the future. He had been separated from her for too long.

He turned his horse around and the army set off. He couldn't help but look back.

Li Youan made a mouth shape to him, and he could see clearly that it was: "Daddy."

His hands holding the reins trembled slightly, his throat choked, and he patted his chest, where the life-saving beads his son gave him were.

Once I leave, I don’t know when I will return home, and I don’t know if I will be able to come back alive.

The army marched forward, raising a cloud of dust.

Everything went according to plan.

In the green plum garden, Li Yuanrou held her new clothes and couldn't let them go.

Tomorrow is the day of hunting, and Xiao Luobai has already ordered people to make new clothes for her. In addition to seasonal clothes, there are also four sets of light riding clothes.

Li Yuanrou was very excited because she could learn to ride a horse. She couldn't relax at home normally, and Xiao Luobai stuck to her all day, so riding a horse could never be put on the agenda.

Thinking back to the last time she went to Qingyuanchunlou and was carried away by Xiao Luobai and thrown onto the back of a horse, she went home in humiliation, holding onto the horse's neck and swallowing the wind all the way home.

Now that I have learned how to ride a horse, I must avenge my previous shame.

Imagine yourself riding a horse majestically, looking so heroic...

Just thinking about her makes me laugh out loud.

Xiao Luobai sat at the Eight Immortals Table and looked at the self-absorbed Li Yuanrou. The corners of his mouth twitched and he said faintly, "Madam, the academic topic we discussed the other day...?"

When Li Yuanrou heard this, his face immediately fell. He thought, if he had to spend the whole night learning how to ride a horse, he would not be able to do it tomorrow.

So she decisively refused: "No! I have to conserve my energy, don't even think about it!"

Xiao Luobai was not in a hurry, and looked confident: "Madam, you know that riding a horse is also very particular, and it is not something that can be learned in one day. If another master teaches you..."

He laughed twice and said, "You are a princess, how dare they teach you freely? If you are careless..."

He kept it a secret and didn't finish his words, but Li Yuanrou understood.

She lowered her eyes in thought, wondering why she hadn't thought of this aspect.

If someone else were to teach her, their primary goal would definitely be to prevent her from getting hurt. They didn't care whether she could learn to ride a horse or not.

The hunt only lasts a few days, and she cannot waste a single day.

She looked at Xiao Luobai suspiciously: "Do you have a good idea?"

Xiao Luobai pretended to be profound, and said slowly and confidently: "If I were to teach you, you would be able to learn it in one day!"

His tone was so certain that Li Yuanrou almost couldn't believe it. Based on her understanding of him, there must be something else going on.

Li Yuanrou looked at him warily.

The night is like water, and the two stars in the sky are getting brighter...

…………

The first day of hunting.

Li Yuanrou was very excited to ask Xiao Luobai to teach her how to ride a horse. Even though her legs were shaking, she had to learn. She had paid too much to learn how to ride a horse...

It's all tears when I talk about it...

Xiao Luobai went back on his words and started talking dirty: "Madam, didn't you ride enough last night?"

When Li Yuanrou heard this, he was immediately furious.

It would have been fine if he had fooled her last night, but she didn't expect that Xiao Luobai would still not keep his word. This was simply too much!

She grabbed Xiao Luobai's collar fiercely, her anger bursting out: "How dare you play tricks on me!"

Xiao Luobai looked calm and raised his eyebrows: "Laozi?"

Li Yuanrou's eyes were red with anger, and he said very firmly: "What do you think? It's me!"

She has paid so much, no one can stop her from learning horse riding!

Xiao Luobai narrowed his eyes, and Li Yuanrou shuddered instinctively, but remained calm and stuck to his original intention.

Xiao Luobai looked at her and curled his lips: "We'll learn horse riding tomorrow. You're not feeling well today, so I'll teach you archery first. Do you want to learn?"

Li Yuanrou immediately followed his steps down: "Learn!"

She loosened her hand that was pulling Xiao Luobai's collar, and gently smoothed out the wrinkles on Xiao Luobai's clothes.

Xiao Luobai did what he said this time, and taught her step by step, very seriously: "Put your feet shoulder-width apart, and distribute the center of gravity evenly between your feet... Yes, that's it, lower your left arm... Aim..."

Li Yuanrou also learned it very well. He drew his bow and shot the arrow, hitting the bull's eye!

Li Yuanrou jumped up excitedly, put her arms around Xiao Luobai's neck and kissed him.

Xiao Luobai was in high spirits and enjoyed the sense of accomplishment very much.

After practicing for most of the day, Li Yuanrou actually achieved some results. Although he couldn't hit the center of the bull's eye when shooting independently, he didn't deviate too much.

If you want to shoot an enemy, aim for his head, and you can at least hit his thigh.

But she still couldn't get over her love for horse riding, and after a lot of flattery, she acted like a spoiled child and made a fuss. In the end, Xiao Luobai was praised so much that he lost himself, his psychological bottom line collapsed, and he happily agreed.

To let her get used to it first, Li Yuanrou sat on the horse's back and the horse walked slowly.

Li Yuanrou asked him, "You've been with me all day, so you don't have to carry out the plan?"

Xiao Luobai said calmly: "Everything has been arranged. We should have fun and eat as usual. Don't worry about anything."

Li Yuanrou asked curiously: "What is the plan?"

Xiao Luobai raised the corners of his lips, as if he remembered something interesting: "Who told you to run away that day? No matter how we asked you to go back, you refused to come back, so the three of us had to discuss it."

Li Yuanrou was furious when she thought of that day. She glared at Xiao Luobai and yelled, "How dare you mention that day! How dare you mention it!"

She snorted through her nose: "Stop talking nonsense and tell me what the plan is."

Xiao Luobai was calm and composed, and said in a pretentious tone, "You will know tomorrow."

The next day, Li Yuanrou learned horse riding for a day, and just as Xiao Luobai said, he learned it in one day.

It’s mainly because my master taught me well. Although I can’t ride the horse wildly yet, I will definitely be able to do it after practicing for a few more days.

While learning horse riding, Li Yuanrou also kept a close eye on the center of the hunting ground.

It was already dark and nothing had happened, so Li Yuanrou became even more curious.

There was a sudden commotion, and Li Yuanrou grabbed a soldier and asked, "What happened?"
