A life of ups and downs is pure joy

"It's so lively today, but Sister Qingyi didn't come. It's really strange." Xiao Qiannan said curiously after Lin Ancai told the aunt and sister-in-law.

"I know why." Lin Qinghuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xia Hong shooting arrows.

"Sister-in-law, it seems that Brother An Cai is competing over there. Please go over there quickly!" Xiao Qiannan saw the most handsome man in the crowd at a glance and urged Lin Qinghuan anxiously.

Lin Qinghuan stood next to Xiao Qiannan, but her eyes were always looking towards the door. She was afraid that Xiao Yi would not be able to find her after he was done with his work. After all, there were too many people around and she was very petite.

"Brother An Cai is so great!" Xiao Qiannan's shout startled Lin Qinghuan, and then he looked over curiously, and found that the target was full.

"Isn't this a simple matter!" Lin Ancai said casually.

"It's not simple at all!" Xiao Qiannan let go of Lin Qinghuan and pestered Lin Ancai again.

"It's my turn." Fan Ruoyu came over with a bow and arrow, looked at Lin Qinghuan and said, "Let's see who is more powerful."

Lin Qinghuan looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he meant.

"it is good!"

"Okay!"

"awesome!"

Fan Ruoyu is worthy of being a Dakun man. The arrows in his hand seemed to have eyes and consciousness, and they all flew towards the center of the target on their own, and there was constant cheering from the side.

"Haha, interesting." Seeing this, Lin Ancai also became interested and picked up the bow and arrow to aim at the target farther away.

Xiao Qiannan was cheering him on the whole time and kept glaring at Fan Ruoyu's followers. Lin Qinghuan was amused by his sister-in-law.

"Second brother, you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time." The voice belonged to Ning Junze's new wife Fan Yitong.

"Fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law." Lin Qinghuan turned around and saluted the two of them.

"Huan'er, you can watch the fun here too." Ning Junze helped her up and said.

"Hmph, swords and knives have no eyes. A delicate young lady like you should go enjoy the flowers." Fan Yitang looked at Lin Qinghuan and said sarcastically.

Ning Junze glanced at Fan Yitang, then smiled at Lin Qinghuan, "How did An Cai's competition with the Second Prince go?"

"Equally matched." Lin Qinghuan said.

"Brother Ancai is more powerful!" Xiao Qiannan said unconvinced. Lin Ancai shot an arrow accurately into the bull's eye, and the people around him cheered.

"Second brother, shoot two arrows to open their eyes." Fan Yitang said loudly.

Lin Qinghuan kept looking at the door, and began to complain in her heart why Xiao Yi hadn't come yet, since he had promised to stay with her all the time.

At that time, Xiao Yi and Ning Jinyang were talking about Dong Yuange's return to Jinghan. This undoubtedly meant that the Third Prince had another military advisor. Ning Jinyang was very melancholy. Over the years, he had seen the number of royal pearls on the Third Prince's head increase one after another.

"Although the fourth son is favored, he has no interest in political affairs. Fortunately, the person who will marry this time is not the third son." Ning Jinyang began to sigh again and said in a low voice.

"How is your Majesty's health lately?" Xiao Yi asked curiously.

"Father? He looks fine." Ning Jinyang said to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi nodded, but he was indeed puzzled in his heart as to why His Majesty was so anxious to let the Seventh Princess and her husband return to their fiefdom.

"Didn't you bring Changping here today?" Ning Jinyang asked.

"I'm here, with Nan'er now."

"Okay, this Fan Ruo kept praising our Dasheng Jing beauty as more beautiful at the banquet yesterday. I wonder which girl he has his eyes on." Ning Jinyang muttered.

Ning Sijue and Xiao Fan walked over from a distance.

"The person in charge of the salt tax in Cenyao County is indeed Chen Zheyuan's man, and he has always had contact and transactions with Jin Han." Xiao Fan said to Xiao Yi in a low voice.

"Okay, let's check whether it has any connection with the Dong family. No, let's check whether it has any secret connection with the Xiang family." Xiao Yi said. Ning Sijue looked at him and then walked forward.

"Does Second Brother know that Ayu will ascend the throne next month?"

Xiao Yi nodded.

"What about her?"

Ning Jinyang frowned, "Why are you asking this? I asked you to keep an eye on the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince, why are you here?"

"I'm competing in archery with Lin Ancai, it's very intense. Sister Nan'er and second sister-in-law are also here." Ning Sijue glanced at Xiao Yi and Ning Jinyang and replied.

Xiao Yi stepped forward and bowed before going to look for his little wife. Xiao Fan also left with him. Ning Sijue kept watching their backs.

"Jue'er, I'm not trying to pour cold water on you. There are many women in Dasheng, and you can have anyone you want, but you must not have any bad thoughts about Changping." Ning Jinyang said.

"Brother, many things are subject to change." After Ning Sijue finished speaking, Ning Jinyang looked at him helplessly.

"The Queen Mother has been in poor health recently. If you have nothing to do, go to the palace and keep her company."

"Understood, Royal Brother."

At the shooting range, Lin Ancai and Fan Ruoyu had almost shot the target to pieces. They started to try different tricks, shooting from horses and shooting with targets moved by carts. They were all evenly matched. Xiao Qiannan and Fan Yitong were almost hoarse from shouting. Lin Qinghuan just felt it was so boring. The two of them were of similar level and there was no point in comparing them.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha..." Lin Ancai and Fan Ruoyu looked at each other, threw their bows and arrows to the servants, stepped forward, patted each other on the shoulders and laughed, Xiao Qiannan and Fan Yitong looked at them in confusion.

"It's been a long time since we had such a fun target shooting competition. I'm really happy to meet General Luo Feng today. I wonder if we are brother or younger brother?" Fan Ruoyu asked in Dasheng dialect with an unfamiliar accent.

"Ancai is eighteen years old this year. Do you know the second prince?" Lin Ancai asked with a smile.

"Then you have to call me brother. I am four years older than you. Come on, let's go horse racing." Fan Ruoyu said happily, and then the two of them walked out.

"Sister Lin, come and watch the fun together!" Fan Ruoyu enthusiastically invited Lin Qinghuan.

"Second brother!" Fan Yitang shouted unhappily. Why did even his own brother pay special attention to Princess Changping?

"My sister is not suitable." Lin Ancai said.

"Why?" Fan Ruoyu asked in confusion.

"Hmph... She is so delicate, Marco is ignorant." Fan Yitang muttered softly.

"Why should my sister-in-law go horseback riding with you? My elder brother will accompany her." Xiao Qiannan walked forward unhappily and said before Lin Qinghuan could speak.

"Your sister-in-law? Isn't it said that the Lin family's eldest daughter has not yet married?" Fan Ruoyu asked, looking at Lin Ancai.

"The one who is not married is Sister Qingyi who competed with you in archery. She is the wife of my eldest brother Xiao Yi." Xiao Qiannan said while standing in front of Lin Qinghuan.

“Hahahahahahaha…” Ning Junze finally understood why his brother-in-law had been asking him about the Lin family’s legitimate daughter these past few days. It turned out that he had the wrong person.

"Fourth brother..." Lin Qinghuan thought Ning Junze was laughing at him and shouted in complaint.

"It's okay, Huan'er, it's just a misunderstanding." Ning Junze stepped forward and explained the situation to Fan Ruoyu in Dakun language.

"This... this is such a pity. I wanted to send my sister here and take away a princess." Fan Ruoyu said it without feeling embarrassed.

"My fourth sister is not bad either. She can ride and shoot, and she's very similar to your Miss Dakun." Lin Ancai glanced at Lin Qinghuan and then said to Fan Ruoyu, "Come on, Brother Fan, let's go horse racing."

Ning Junze looked at Lin Qinghuan and smiled, and was about to go up to her and talk to her.

"Don't smile at her!" Fan Yitang pulled Ning Junze away unhappily and caught up with the two people who were going to the horse race.

"A toad wants to eat swan flesh. He looks like that, but he still wants to call my sister-in-law the princess. He's dreaming!" Xiao Qiannan sneered at the backs of several people.

"It's really ridiculous and scary." Lin Qinghuan said a little unhappily. Fortunately, she got married early, otherwise she might really have to go through an arranged marriage.

"What's ridiculous?" Xiao Yi walked in and asked.

"Big brother!" Xiao Qiannan wanted to step forward to complain, but was stopped by Lin Qinghuan.

"An Cai asked me to go horseback riding with him, and I thought he was ridiculous." Lin Qinghuan interrupted.

"I'm a little late. Do you want to go horseback riding or archery? I'll accompany you." Xiao Yi stepped forward and shook Lin Qinghuan's hand and said.

"Nan'er, go and find Ancai to play." Lin Qinghuan said to Xiao Qiannan who looked confused.

"Then I'll leave." When Xiao Qiannan heard this, she put aside her previous unhappiness, smiled sweetly and ran out.

"Why did you come just now?" Lin Qinghuan unhappily hit Xiao Yi's chest a few times with her little hands, but she still felt comfortable looking at this face.

"I was delayed by some things. Why do you look so aggrieved?" Xiao Yi asked, holding Lin Qinghuan's shoulders.

"You only came after An Cai shot through the target." Lin Qinghuan complained.

"Then I'll teach you how to ride a horse, okay?"

"I don't want to ride alone. You have to come with me."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Da Yuan followed behind and shook his head as he looked at the two of them. Now that he was close to them, he felt like he was about to suffocate.

"Husband, I find riding a horse more and more fun, but I'm still afraid to ride it alone." Xiao Yi chose a more docile horse, helped Lin Qinghuan onto it, and held the reins beside her, taking her for a stroll in the grassland.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you. Huan'er is so beautiful that even horses know to be docile to please you." Xiao Yi said, touching the horse's head.

"Haha... you just know how to say nice things to make me happy. Look at An Cai and Nan'er, they are riding so fast, and it looks like they are having a lot of fun." Lin Qinghuan said while looking at the people who were laughing in the stadium not far away.

"Huan'er, do you want to ride a fast horse?"

"Yes, but I'm afraid."

"I'm here." Xiao Yi stepped on the stirrups and sat behind Lin Qinghuan, holding the beauty in his arms.

"Husband, can it carry both of us?"

"Little fool, of course you can. This is a good horse shipped from Dakun... Go..." Xiao Yi shouted, and the horse began to raise its legs and trot towards the track.

"Haha... Although the pony took me running last time, I thought I was going to die and had no interest in running at all. It turns out that running is so fun..." With Xiao Yi behind her, Lin Qinghuan felt very safe and was very happy at this moment.

"Big brother, you are here too." Xiao Qiannan looked at the two people riding horses and waved to them happily.

"Is that the husband of the most beautiful woman in Dasheng?" Fan Yitang asked Ning Junze beside her.

Ning Junze looked at Lin Qinghuan's smiling face and raised his lips slightly, "Yes, Sister Huan'er's husband."

"Humph."

"Yitan, Huan'er is like my own sister. You don't have to be hostile to her. She is not what you see on the surface... In the future, you will have to meet each other often. After a long time, you will naturally understand her." Ning Junze saw that Fan Yitang had a prejudice against Lin Qinghuan, so he spoke.

"Hmph, anyway, our Dakun's most beautiful woman would not be so weak!" After saying this, Fan Yitang patted the horse's butt, and the horse started running.

"It's so lively today, it would be a pity if Fourth Sister didn't come." Lin An just remembered that he was about to go out early in the morning, but when he heard that Xia Hong was back, he immediately complained of a stomachache from Lin Qingyi.

"I just didn't expect that there is someone in this world who makes Sister Yi not want to go out. It really opens my eyes." Lin Qinghuan said with a smile.

"Why don't you pick a pony to ride by yourself? It's so boring." Fan Yitang said.

"My elder brother and sister-in-law have a good relationship, so they naturally ride on the same horse together." Xiao Qiannan said.

"Then how can you race horses with us like this?" Fan Yitang asked.

"Horse racing, oh... no, I just came to watch the fun. Husband, if you want to play with them, I will come down and let Dayuan accompany me." Lin Qinghuan turned her head and said to Xiao Yi behind her.

"I'll watch the fun with you, let them have fun." Xiao Yi said lovingly.

"No! Now that you're at the horse farm, why don't you try our Dakun's good horse? If you're worried, just ask your sister to accompany you." Fan Yitang said.

"Why do you like to meddle in other people's affairs?" Fan Ruoyu said, and then spoke a few words to Fan Yitong in Dakun language. The princess looked at her brother with some unhappiness.

"Husband, can you understand what they are saying?" Lin Qinghuan asked in a low voice.

"Yes, the Second Prince asked her sister to stir up trouble in Dasheng. No one cared about her when she suffered, especially..." Xiao Yi looked at Lin Qinghuan and then smiled.

"Especially what?" Lin Qinghuan asked when he stopped talking.

"He said that my Huan'er is so beautiful, and if he were her, he would also find it much more interesting to race horses with a beauty." Xiao Yi whispered in Lin Qinghuan's ear.

The beauty smiled shyly, and her little hand tightly grasped Xiao Yi's hand holding the horse reins.

Xiao Qiannan, with her face flushed with sweat, rode her horse over to find the two people who were being affectionate.

"Big brother, you go ride with them. I'll just chat with my sister-in-law. I'm so tired. Dakun's horse is much stronger than Dayi's, and it's also very obedient." Xiao Qiannan touched the head of the little white horse she had chosen.

"Husband, you go ahead. Nan'er will accompany me." Lin Qinghuan looked at Xiao Yi, who was also fond of riding and archery, and transformed herself into an obedient and sensible wife.

Xiao Yi jumped off the horse and gently carried Lin Qinghuan down. He then scratched the tip of her nose and said, "Then I'll go race for a while and come back to find you."

Xiao Qiannan stood there with an embarrassed look on her face as she watched the two people who were constantly being affectionate with each other.

"Sister-in-law, I see that you are deeply in love with my elder brother now. You two are so inseparable." Xiao Qiannan said as he watched Xiao Yi riding away on horseback.

"Yeah, he's fine." Lin Qinghuan also said, looking at his back, feeling that her husband seemed to be glowing in the crowd.

"It seems like I'm really praising Big Brother this time." Xiao Qiannan said thoughtfully, then looked at Lin Qinghuan, "Why didn't you let me tell Big Brother just now that the Second Prince Dakun is very absurd?"

"Nan'er, he didn't do it on purpose. He just confused me with Sister Yi. He didn't do anything out of line. Why should you make your husband feel aggrieved? After all, he is the Second Prince of Dakun." Lin Qinghuan murmured as she watched the four men who had already started horse racing.

"Oh...that's what you said."
