Ma He carefully handed over the memorial box, and Feng Bao carefully checked the seal above after taking it.

After the inspection was correct, Feng Baofang stamped the handover document and handed it over to the other party.

"The servant has been working hard for days, so he might as well take a walk on this fortress and enjoy the scenery to relieve some fatigue." Feng Bao said with a smile, "Our family has already prepared horses and hunting gear. If the servant is interested, we can

You might as well try your luck next time."

"The supervisor is interested."

Ma He thanked him politely.

After the two of them said goodbye and left, Ma He walked outside the tent and saw the horses and hunting tools that the other party had prepared for him alone. He couldn't help but secretly thought to himself, that Feng Bao was really a well-rounded person. No matter what the personal relationship was, the other party would always be there.

It's so thoughtful and thoughtful that you can't make any mistakes.

The scenery in Saishang is great, with the long wind blowing through the vast grassland like blue waves.

Ma He had no intention of joining in the fun at first, he just wanted to ride the horse for a walk. At least he would not be in favor of Feng Bao's good intentions by showing off. But now he could look at the scenery outside the fortress from horseback, and he couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy.

The scenery outside the Great Wall with its vast expanse and the returning geese flying into Hutian can't help but make people feel a bit heroic.

After bending his bow, he still couldn't bear to ride his horse in the direction of the mountains in the distance.

"Mother, if we go further we will reach the deep forest."

In the mountain forest, Nian Xia was carrying two spotted pheasants with leggings behind her. At this time, they had almost crossed the outer perimeter and were heading deeper into the jungle. The farther they went, the denser and taller the vegetation, and the lush forest atmosphere became more intense.

There were also more calls from birds and beasts. From time to time, she could vaguely hear the wails of wild beasts in the distance, and she didn't know if it was the Holy One and the others hunting.

Nian Xia couldn't help but look behind her, fearing that if the empress wanted to go deeper into the forest, the guards following her would be tempted to step forward and stop her.

Phew - Wen Yin took up her bow and shot an arrow. The arrow arced in the air, and then flew into the grass beside it, grazing the ears of the gray rabbit in the distance.

The gray rabbit was frightened and ran away immediately. Wen Yin drew back her bow and said regretfully: "I thought I could carry a little gray rabbit back."

Nian Xia couldn't bear the disappointment of the queen, so she said: "How about we look around again, I have a good eye, help the queen keep an eye on it."

"If you don't go in, you might encounter jackals, tigers, and leopards if you go any further. That will cost you a lot of money." Wen Yin waved her hand, looked around at the lush forest, then pushed aside the intertwined branches in front of her and walked forward.

After taking two steps, he stood in front of a wild tree bearing red fruits.

Seeing the empress picking the fruit and seeming to eat it, Nian Xia said anxiously: "Empress, the things outside are dirty. Wait until you go back and wash them before using them."

Wen Yin twisted the wild fruit and wiped it briefly. She looked back at Nian Xia and chuckled: "It would be boring if you had to pay attention to this and that when you go out to play. I remember when I went to the mountains to play, my younger brother and I...

, when there is a buzzing in the stomach, he often uses local materials. When he travels, he usually travels in a light vehicle, and except for cooking utensils, he probably doesn’t bring anything with him. "

While in the palace, Nian Xia rarely heard her talk about the things that happened before she entered the palace. Now when she suddenly mentioned it, she couldn't help but feel energetic. She opened her eyes wide and wanted to continue listening to her talk about the past.

Wen Yin took a bite of the lipstick fruit, chewed it lightly and swallowed it, but did not continue the topic. After finishing the fruit, she finally looked around at the vast mountains, hiding the emotions in her eyes, "Let's go, it's getting late.

"

Nian Xia was not disappointed either. After saying yes, she left with her mother-in-law. But before leaving, she also picked a wild fruit, wiped it and took a big bite. Then she was hit by the astringent taste in her mouth.

He took a deep breath and looked in disbelief at the lady in front of her who was getting on her horse.

How did the empress swallow such bitterness?

On the way out of the mountains and forests, Wen Yin pointed out the key points of Nian Xia's horse riding from time to time.

Nian Xia, who had just learned to ride a horse, was swaying on the horse, holding the reins tightly with one hand and holding on to the two pheasants with the other hand. Wen Yin could not help but suggest that she hand the pheasants to the guards, but

She was so protective that she refused to let anyone else take it.

"My dear, look -"

When she walked to the outskirts of the hunting ground, Nian Xia was suddenly surprised to see a gray rabbit in the grass in the distance. In a moment of excitement, she accidentally pinched the horse's belly, so she got off the horse and started running forward by mistake.

stand up.

remember

When Nian Xia lost his balance, his body tilted up, and his hand that was not holding the reins was waving around unconsciously. Then the frightened pied pheasant flapped its wings desperately, and accidentally flapped the horse's face.

"Nian Xia!"

Just as Ma He was about to enter the forest on horseback, he suddenly heard a burst of rapid hoofbeats coming from the opposite side. Before he could react, several horses passed by him like a gust of wind. When he was shocked, he was faced with another rush.

Come on a horse.

Even though the opponent reined in his horse in time, he frightened his horse and knocked him to the ground.

Seeing that the guards finally controlled Nian Xia's horse, Wen Yin's heart relaxed, but the next moment she heard screams. She was startled and looked for the sound, and saw someone fell on the horse's hoof.

beside.

Oh no! Her heart sank, and she quickly dismounted and went to check without thinking.

"Is this gentleman okay?"

Ma He was thrown to the ground in pain, and his back hurt so much that he wanted to curse. Just as he was gnashing his teeth and cursing secretly the man without eyes who had just rushed out, suddenly a woman's clear and moist voice sounded in his ears.

When the faint and faint fragrance hit his nose, above his sight, the face of a fairy-like and jade-colored woman came into his eyes.

Ma He was confused at first, and then horrified. How could it be her!

Wen Yin saw that his face was pale and distorted, and she couldn't help but worry that he was seriously injured. As soon as she raised her eyes to ask the guards to call the doctor quickly, she saw him struggling to support himself on the ground, so she hurriedly stopped her.

.

"My lord, please don't move around for now, so as not to aggravate the injury. It's better to wait until the doctor comes to check."

Ma He's face froze. Did she... not recognize him?

Either out of embarrassment or disbelief, he opened his eyes wide and looked at her.

Six years have passed, and the years seem to have favored her, without leaving many traces on her body. She is still as beautiful as when she first saw her, with her snow-skinned face, jade face and beautiful face, and she is so beautiful. At this moment, she is wearing a red dress against the light.

Standing on the grassland in Saishang, she was even more beautiful than she was six years ago.

Wen Yin frowned slightly, it was very inappropriate for the other party to look at her like this.

Not wanting to bring trouble to this civil servant, she turned to leave after ordering the imperial doctor to come over.

"Your Majesty, you have so many things to do, I'm afraid you may not remember your humble ministers anymore."

This self-deprecating sound made Wen Yin turn her eyes in surprise.

On the other side, in a place in the forest that no one had noticed, Concubine Xian looked at the scene in the distance with an unpredictable expression. The eldest prince was tired from studying, so she took him out for a walk. She didn't expect that

Encountered something like this.

When she saw the civil servant lying on the ground looking directly at the imperial concubine from a distance, she vaguely felt that the atmosphere seemed to be subtle. When she vaguely heard the man's words, her heart skipped a beat.

Was she bumped into her, a reunion with an old friend?

"Concubine..." The eldest prince was about to speak out, but was stopped by his concubine's eyes.

Concubine Xian held her breath and stared straight at the two people in the distance, her hands on her sides clenched tightly.

In fact, after Ma He impulsively said this, he regretted it, quickly looked away, and repeatedly said that Wei Chen had made a mistake.

Even though many years have passed, those fond memories of the past have almost disappeared, but the other person is the person he admired when he was a boy. Seeing that he has not recognized himself after seeing the other person for many years, at that moment he was inevitably a little agitated and a little inappropriate.

The words just blurted out out of the mouth on impulse without thinking.

But almost instantly, he regretted it to death, especially when he thought of the jealous sage, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he wanted to slap his mouth to pieces. He didn't eat enough sand!

Seeing his expression change, Wen Yin seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, so she didn't continue to ask any questions, nor did she stay here any longer, she turned around and left silently.

Just after his sudden words, she realized who the other party was.

Six years was too long, and the other person's skin had darkened, a beard had grown on his lips, and the lines on his face had deepened due to official duties. At first glance, she thought he was an elderly middle-aged civil servant, so she didn't recognize him for a while.

The other party was the energetic young man who loved to laugh.

It’s not that she didn’t notice Ma He’s sigh of relief when she left. However, she didn’t have much feelings about the changes in things and people. After all, who in this world can remain unchanged?

"Empress! Oh my empress!"

An anxious voice came from a distance. Wen Yin came back to look for the sound and saw Feng Bao leading a group of people anxiously towards her direction. Before she got closer, she saw Feng Bao beside him.

The eunuch, who was wearing a scarlet official robe, was walking in a hurry, with a rare nervousness on his face.

As he got closer, his eyes quickly dropped, and he turned back into that humble, wooden, puppet-like, sculpture-like person again.

"Oh my dear, you scared me to death, are you okay?"

Feng Bao clutched his chest and his heart almost jumped out of his chest. God knows, when the palace people reported that the empress had hit a horse, he was so frightened that his soul almost flew out! Fortunately, the empress was fine, otherwise the Holy Emperor would not have skinned him!

"I'm fine, it was my horse that hit the man over there." Wen Yin pointed in the direction of the man lying on the ground behind him, "I'm afraid that man was badly hit. The eunuch will ask the imperial doctor to give him a serious blow later."

Under his diagnosis and treatment.”

Feng Bao stroked his chest and said repeatedly: "That's good, that's good. Oh, don't worry, Madam."

It's just that he bumped into an adult, not the empress... Feng Bao thought of the adult who might have been hit. He immediately stopped breathing, calmly narrowed his eyes and quickly glanced at the person lying on the ground.

.

The next moment, his face turned green. What a coincidence!

Feng Bao reluctantly regained his composure and asked someone to fetch the horse for his wife.
