Chapter 221 An unexpected person arrives unexpectedly
The fourth prince is taming a horse, no random people are allowed to come near.
Chi Su became more and more anxious as she was stopped.
Seeing that the fourth prince was getting more and more anxious, he tightened the reins, beat the horse hard, and cursed: "You useless thing! You have eaten so much fine material in vain!"
Chi Su's father and brother are both military generals, and horse training is their specialty.
She herself has been riding a horse since she was a child and loves horses. Seeing the pain and fear of the horse, she couldn't help but feel pity and said loudly: "Fourth Prince, your method is wrong. The more you beat it, the more frightened it becomes. It will never be able to jump over."
of."
The attendant quickly stopped her and scolded her: "Why are you so unruly? Let's go quickly!"
Who would have thought that the fourth prince would not be annoyed when he heard what she said. He got off the horse and asked her: "Do you also know how to train horses?"
"It's not proficient," Chi Su said, "but I heard that horses are the most spiritual and can understand human speech.
If it encounters something that makes it afraid, beating and scolding will only make it more afraid.
The best thing is to coax it and reward it, and slowly it will be able to let go of its fear and dare to give it a try.
In addition, it is best to proceed from easy to difficult, first make the fence shorter, let it jump a few times, and then increase the height when it becomes proficient."
"What you said makes sense." The fourth prince then looked at Chi Su and felt that she was generous and neither humble nor overbearing. He couldn't help but ask, "You don't look like an ordinary palace maid. Where did you come from?"
"This slave is the daughter of the sinner Chi Fengxian," Chi Su bowed her head, "and now she is serving in front of Concubine Fu."
The fourth prince originally had a good impression of the Chi family, but when he heard that she was in Fu Fei Palace, he couldn't help but look at her differently and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Chi Su couldn't wait for him to ask himself, and quickly pleaded: "I'm here to ask for your help. A little sister who entered the palace with me was blocked in the rockery by the Seventh Princess and her people, and they wanted to set her on fire.
I'm afraid something will happen, and it will hurt the petty person and damage the princess' reputation. It would be a big sin. I would like to ask you to come forward and stop it, so as not to make things worse."
Of course the fourth prince knew that the seventh princess was unruly and willful. Hearing what Chi Su said, he said without the slightest hesitation: "Then go quickly to avoid causing trouble."
After Chi Su left, Xue Hengzhao has been paying close attention to the situation there.
Seeing the Seventh Princess's men bringing firewood, they blocked several rockery caves.
She screamed in her heart and was about to go out to stop him, but she saw someone coming from the west. When she took a closer look, she couldn't help but be overjoyed. It was the prince and several of his entourages.
Xue Hengzhao then quickly stepped forward and asked the prince to come forward to dissuade the seventh princess.
She didn't go into too much detail. She just said that she was afraid of causing a fire, but she was very soft-spoken and didn't dare to come forward to dissuade her.
At this time, the people under the Seventh Princess had already lit the firewood.
The prince walked over and asked: "What are you doing lighting a fire here?"
Those people did not dare to tell the truth, but only said: "I wonder if it was a cat or a rabbit that got into the cave, and the slaves wanted to smoke it out."
The prince said: "Nonsense! You have blocked the hole. Can it come out? It can only be suffocated inside."
He also said to the Seventh Princess: "The weather is dry in spring. If there is a fire, can you explain it? Hurry up and ask someone to put out the fire and move the firewood away. I won't tell my mother."
The seventh princess hates the prince from the bottom of her heart, but she cannot disobey him.
I had no choice but to hold back my anger and ask my people to pack up everything.
When Chi Su trotted along with the fourth prince and arrived at the rockery, he saw the seventh princess leaving with someone.
"Fourth brother, why are you here too?" the prince asked the fourth prince with a smile.
The fourth prince didn't have any objections to the prince, after all, he was just a child.
But it was different for the queen, so he was not close to the prince on weekdays, and everything was done in accordance with the corresponding etiquette.
Seeing this situation, he did not say much, he just smiled and said: "I just happened to be passing by, where is the prince going?"
"I have a day off today and just came out of the palace of the Concubine Xian." The prince said, "Fourth brother is not busy, so he can go to my palace to talk."
"Thank you for the invitation, Prince, but I still have to go to Concubine Fu. I'll visit you another day." After the fourth prince said that, he left.
"Prince, let's go back too," said the person following the prince.
"Why are you urging me? You have nothing to do today." The prince glared at him, "I want to see what is hidden in this cave."
"I can't control the prince, who knows what kind of beast it is." The attendant was so frightened that he knelt down.
"What kind of wild beast can there be? I've already said it's either a cat or a rabbit." The prince sneered, "You are more courageous than sesame seeds."
"It's dark inside and the road is uneven. It's better for the slaves to go in." The followers had no choice but to take a step back.
"I'm not old enough, go and get a lantern." The prince was very playful. He liked to drill into rockery caves since he was a child, but the queen always refused.
Now that you have the opportunity, how can you let it go so easily?
The followers couldn't resist him, so they had to find a lantern, and finally asked one person to support the prince, because the rockery cave was narrow, otherwise at least two people would be required to accompany him.
Xue Hengzhao and Chi Su looked at each other and quietly stepped aside.
Lin Fufei is the most timid person, and today she was walking around here with the cat of the tenth princess.
Everything was fine, but who would have thought that he would meet the Seventh Princess?
The Seventh Princess did not bring a dog with her today, because the dog suddenly died a few days after Concubine Li was demoted to Li Guiren.
Everyone guessed that he was poisoned to death, but no one asked, and Li Gui and the Seventh Princess did not dare to pursue it.
This matter was brushed aside hastily.
Today she met Lin Fufei and the cat, so naturally she couldn't let them go.
Lin Fufei had no choice but to hide everywhere, because she knew that once she was caught by the seventh princess, she would never be easy.
She hugged the cat and hid in the rockery cave. She vaguely heard someone surrounding her outside, and she didn't dare to go out.
Even though I smelled the smoke later, I still huddled up like a turtle hugging the cat.
Lin Fufei was so scared that her heart beat like a drum, making it impossible for her to hear what was happening outside.
When she heard footsteps approaching, she was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
She thought it must be the Seventh Princess who came to arrest her.
The more anxious she became, the more mistakes she made. She pulled back hard and knocked down a stone, which rolled far away.
The footsteps paused for a moment, then walked towards this direction.
Lin Fufei secretly screamed, and whispered to the black cat: "Run! Run out and climb the tree, don't let them catch you."
After letting the cat go, she simply closed her eyes and turned her heart, huddled there and pretended to be dead.
Until someone came over and pulled her sleeves, Lin Fufei complained in her heart, but refused to open her eyes.
Until she heard the man smiling and asking her: "Are you a rabbit that has become a spirit? Why are you still wearing palace clothes?"
Only then did Lin Fufei recognize the prince's voice and quickly opened her eyes.
Previously, the queen and Concubine Ying were in love with each other as sisters, and the prince often came to Concubine Ying.
Every time he comes, he will spend a while with Princess Ten and give her cat a hug.
But before that, he had never noticed Lin Fufei, the little palace maid holding a cat.
But today, Lin Fufei's pitiful and helpless look moved his heart.
