Clouds of green silk are combed into a delicate double bun, with a light pink flower headdress woven in imitation of cherry blossoms, and a rose-red gold brocade lotus leaf skirt that is slim-fitting.
Her almond-shaped face was as rosy as the clouds, and her thin eyebrows were curved with light. Looking at Xi'er, she was still panting slightly, and she was in no hurry to go to Xuanqing Palace.
It's not that far anyway.
Moreover, these days are the New Year of the Qin Dynasty, and Taixue also has a holiday directly. They have a seven-day holiday. It’s a rare holiday. If you don’t have fun, you will be sorry for yourself.
Now their goal is to go to Xuanqing Palace, where the blood horse has an heir, and the iron-eating beast is also raised there.
I heard from people in the palace that if a foal is raised from a young age, it will be very close to its owner and will be born spiritually.
Master also said that the Yin Yang family has a secret recipe for cultivating strong horses. When the foals are growing, they are given to them for food, and there are many benefits.
That would be even better.
When my uncle sends me my favorite birds and animals, it will be complete. From now on, I can ride a horse within a short distance of Xianyang.
If you want to travel to distant places, just ride on birds and animals.
Looking at the Xuanqing Palace, he took Xi'er's little hand and walked over happily. As for using his body skills to go there?
Don't worry, Xianyang Palace is so big!
"Princess!"
"Princess!"
"..."
After dozens of breaths, seven or eight people came running quickly on the path behind them, all of them wearing uniform formal palace attire.
While walking as fast as possible, they also had to take good care of the things in their hands, including food, drink, and everything they needed. The two princesses ran so fast that they couldn't keep up.
"Sister Yangzi, are they catching up?"
Hearing the shouts in the distance behind her, Xiao Xi'er was immediately happy, a smile appeared on her pink and flawless face, and the sweet voice filled the air.
It's so fun to chase those people, but... I just can't catch them. It's so fun.
"Let's go!"
Yang Zi was also delighted, and immediately moved forward again, running forward gracefully.
"Wait for me!"
Xiao Xi'er took a deep breath, performed a simple Yin Yang technique, and then quickly followed with her two little feet again taking strange steps.
"Princess!"
"..."
Seeing this, the seven or eight palace maids wanted to cry, but they turned to these two princesses, as if they were tormenting them every day.
I want to tell the two princesses some of the rules of Xianyang Palace.
But...after that, it was useless to ask the two princesses what they should do. Even some of Mrs. Li's punishments were of no use.
"How to make such noise in the forbidden area of the palace!"
Watching the two princesses disappear quickly from the depths of their eyes, seven or eight palace maids instinctively called out, hoping that the two princesses would slow down.
I hope the two princesses can understand them.
However... before the two princesses could respond, the Black Dragon Army patrolling not far away approached directly, and the leading team leader shouted in a deep voice.
He raised his finger and pointed at the majestic palaces on the left and right. This place is not far from the main hall of Xianyang Palace. How to make noise? It is a serious crime!
"..."
"..."
"Sir, the two princesses... How dare we make a noise, how dare we dare to be presumptuous, but it is the two princesses who are so noble and noble, jumping around Xianyang Palace like this, we are worried!"
"If you get sick, I'll be punished by death."
Looking at the group of Black Dragon Army patrols approaching, all the palace maids couldn't help but be startled, and then the beautiful palace maid who headed them spoke.
He bowed and pointed in the direction where Princess Yangzi and Princess Xi disappeared.
The two princesses were running around here just now, having fun... I didn't see them strictly abiding by the palace rules, but now it falls on them.
Of course, I dare not compare with the two princesses.
The reason why I spoke out was because I was worried that something might happen. In the face of the safety of the two princesses, violating a few Xianyang Palace rules was nothing. If the two princesses were damaged, no one would be able to afford it!
If it's really serious, being thrown directly into Yongxiang would be even worse than death.
"Wait...you can't even keep up with the two princesses?"
"Go, don't make any noise!"
The patrol team leader frowned and looked in the direction where Princess Yangzi and the two disappeared, and then looked at the palace maids in front of him.
I didn’t say much, and it was hard to say much even if I gave you an instruction.
Two princesses!
Really... they couldn't help it. They had encountered him several times before and vaguely reminded them. In the end, the two princesses asked them to speak directly to Lord Wei Li Zhong.
later.
Afterwards, there was no later.
In this way, when I see the situation again, I have to pretend that I haven't seen it. As long as it's not too excessive, just ignore it. However...except for the two princesses, the other young masters and princesses don't seem to have this treatment.
I remember that Mr. Jiang Lu once played with Princess Yangzi in Xianyang Palace, and there was a lot of commotion. As a result... Mr. Jiang Lu was punished by copying the "Laws and Regulations" of Xianyang Palace five times.
Tsk tsk, those are all the laws and regulations, five times combined there are several books.
Princess Yangzi was punished...to stand for a while!
The two princesses' movements are extremely fast. Anyway, I heard that they have been practicing with Lord Dongjun, the protector of the empire. If something happens, they won't be able to survive.
I didn't bother too much with these palace maids and just let them leave.
…
…
"Princess Yangzi!"
"Princess Xi!"
"Why are you free to come to Xuanqing Palace today? Are those palace people left behind by the two princesses again?"
Xuanqing Palace!
The name of the palace remains the same as before. It was originally the residence of Xuan Qingzi, the imperial protector of the country, hence the name. Later, it was gradually occupied by people from the Taoist Tianzong.
The same palace pavilion where the Yin Yang family is located is on the left and right, guarding the safety of Xianyang Palace.
After being informed by the waiter, Taoist Xuan Lingzi greeted them. The status of these two princesses in the Qin Dynasty, both inside and outside Xianyang, needs no introduction.
Princess Yangzi and her mother, Mrs. Li, have been favored for many years. Although she does not have the name of a queen, she has the actual status of a queen.
With the death of the Empress Dowager Huayangzu in the harem, she was respected in the harem.
Princess Xi.
Calling his uncle his father, he was very favored by his uncle. He was also a distinguished person in the Xianyang Palace. His Majesty the First Emperor was also close to many people, especially the princes and princesses in the harem.
Over the past few years, these two princesses have been regular visitors to Xuanqing Palace. They come here to tease the iron-eating beast, read some classics, and ask for advice on spiritual practice.
It's just that... the two little princesses are not accompanied by palace maids, which is against the rules. In the palace, even if the two princesses don't want to, someone will accompany them.
Then, he remembered something, shook his head and smiled.
"Those people can't keep up. I'll replace them all someday. Xuan Lingzi, how many foals did the sweat horse give birth to?"
"Is it big?"
"Is your body red?"
Familiar walking around Xuanqing Palace, I have visited both inside and outside the place, and I am also very familiar with Yu Xuan Lingzi. I heard from the master that Xuan Lingzi is the next head of Tianzong.
His uncle was very fond of him.
Seeing a Taoist holding tea approaching, Yang Zi waved his hand and said that he had already drank it when he came out of the palace. Compared with tea, he still prefers the fruit brewed by He Tianzhi.
Sister Guanyangzi is like this, and Xier is also waving her little palms.
When I came to use my body skills on the way, the palace maids naturally couldn't keep up. They were all ordinary people, and the clothes they were wearing couldn't run fast.
It's even better, with them by my side, I can't stop talking.
Now that they are not around, everything is very quiet.
"Haha, both princesses are skilled in spiritual practice, how can ordinary people follow them?"
"Because we were...pregnant together, those sweat horses almost gave birth to foals at the same time. There are seven in total, which is not too many."
"If the two princesses are interested, they can go together."
Wearing a light blue Taoist robe, her long blue hair is tied up in a lotus crown. The quiet Taoist charm spreads all over her body, her eyebrows are elegant and natural, and she has a sense of being extraordinary.
Looking at the two little princesses, I understood what they meant.
"Then let's go."
Yangzi has always been so turbulent.
"Let's go."
Xi'er repeated that she also wanted to see those sweat-blooded ponies. It seemed that she hadn't seen them before. They should be very small.
"please."
Xuan Lingzi laughed and immediately led the way in person. Today...there is nothing important. As for practice? It can be done anytime.
Moreover, these days coincide with the New Year of the Qin Dynasty, Xianyang City is in a state of joy, and its own affairs are also a lot more.
The leader was in front, summoned the waiters, gave instructions for them to prepare, and then led the two little princesses to the side courtyard of Xuanqing Palace.
That's where the bloody horses are.
Originally, the place where the horses were raised should not be located in the Xuanqing Palace, but in the Shaofu and Chefu, but those horses were a bit special.
The first one is a sweat horse. It has a good program and really strong endurance. It is normal to run hundreds of miles in one breath. It is worthy of the name of a thousand-mile horse.
After a long run, the sweat on the body turns blood red, hence the name. Some of those sweat-blooded horses belong to the young master's uncle. Under the order of the master's uncle, they were raised in Xuanqing Palace.
Therefore, exceptions can naturally be made.
Secondly, Xuanqing Palace has special breeding for those sweat-blooded horses.
Uncle Master said that the breeds of horses in Xia are generally the same. If the advantages of sweat-blooded horses can be combined, they can be improved.
Therefore, some elixirs were refined from some ancient books, specifically for raising exotic beasts. As a beast, the sweat-blooded horse is naturally the most common exotic beast.
Breeding sweat-blooded horses with elixirs enriches the blood-blooded horses' origins and makes them stronger. In this way, it is convenient for other breeds of horses to be given to each other and take blood from them every once in a while.
In recent years, nearly fifty offspring of sweat horses have been produced here. Judging from the growth, some have obvious advantages, while others are average.
Improving horse breeds is a long, long process, so there is no need to rush it.
When you are in Chefu, there is no need for that.
Just after leaving the main hall of Xuanqing Palace, before reaching the courtyard area where the sweat horse was, another waiter came to report in the front hall.
There were some maids waiting outside, plus a... different kind of guest.
"Ah, Shao Siming, why are you here?"
"Master asked you to come?"
Yang Zi looked at Shao Siming curiously, why did she come to Xuanqing Palace? She should be practicing at the master's place.
"Young Master!"
Xi'er also said the same thing.
He is no stranger to Shao Siming. She has been by his side since childhood. When he went to Jiangnan, his master also asked Shao Siming to follow him.
"..."
The long purple hair hanging down from the shawl flows in the wind, and the purple and blue long skirt with cloud and grass texture reaches to the knees. It is slim and fit, and the waist is tied high, making her look graceful.
The face was covered by cloud gauze, but the true appearance was not visible. Only a pair of light purple eyes bloomed with mysterious light. His gaze fell on the two princesses Yangzi. Without making a sound, he pointed at the palace maids and expressed his meaning.
Stepping on the lavender short boots, his steps were swaying, and his eyes fell on Xuan Lingzi's body.
"You're here too."
Xuan Lingzi was happy and nodded slightly.
Perhaps because of Princess Xi, Lord Yin Yang of the Family kept Shao Siming in the palace more often, and occasionally Da Siming.
In this way, we have to meet a lot more.
This is enough.
The past events of the past flashed through my mind, and it was good for each other to be safe and sound. Now, Zhenghe is walking on the road together.
Shao Siming also nodded.
"Just wait here."
Yang Zi impatiently asked the palace maids in the distance, "Are they okay all day? They only know how to follow him and they know how to complain."
"Yes, princess!"
Those palace maids felt at ease and it was best that the two princesses were fine.
Naturally, nothing else will happen in Xuanqing Palace now, not to mention the fact that Mr. Dongjun, Mr. Shao Siming, is still there.
"Is this the foal?"
"So small?"
"She is skinny, her hair is very short, and she smells... not very good either."
"Is this the bloody horse?"
“I don’t know how long it will take for it to grow up like its mother!”
After a while, everyone arrived at the special breeding area in the side yard of Xuanqing Palace.
Standing outside a wall built of water and stone, wherever you look, you can see the blood-stained horses, and the same goes for the foals.
It's just too small, and very thin.
It seems to be only two feet tall, and those big horses are at least six feet, or more than seven feet. This height is enough for a pony to raise its head to eat.
"Three years!"
"After three years, these horses will be ready for riding. The horses here are specially raised. After three years, they will be enough for use, even for riding and driving in the army."
"The two princesses are so naturally compatible."
"The horse was pregnant for about eleven months and gave birth to a foal. Among the foals given birth this time, only one mare gave birth to two at a time."
"The rest are all one."
"Their lifespan is about thirty years. If they are not excessively used for riding, it can be longer. If they are used in the military for combat, it is hard to say."
"These foals can stand up right from birth and can walk very quickly."
"Compared with the sweat-blooded horse, the iron-eating beast is quite different. Even though the iron-eating beast is very big, the baby iron-eating beast is very small when it is born. It is about the size of a palm and weighs twice!"
Xuan Lingzi introduced slowly.
The two princesses suddenly became interested in the sweat-blooded horse, which was unexpected. They had both been interested in the iron-eating beast before.
"Xuan Lingzi, can I choose one?"
Yangzi was already thinking about those little ponies.
"certainly."
Xuan Lingzi replied, others may want to discuss, who makes Princess Yangzi not belong to those others.
"I want it too."
"Xuan Lingzi, I want the brown pony with a little white on its head."
Xi'er pointed directly at the target.
"A foal with a little white on its head?"
"Princess Xi has very good eyesight. That little pony has not only the blood of the sweat horse, but also the blood of the gale horse 'Yidianyun'."
"Yidianyun—horses with extremely strong endurance have come to the land of Beihu. In recent years, there have been many more of them in the empire."
Xuan Lingzi smiled.
"A little cloud?"
"This is it."
Xi'er is also happy.
"Then I want...the white one!"
Yangzi also selected a foal.
"White?"
"That horse... is not bad at all. In addition to the blood of the sweat horse, it also has the blood of the famous Longxi horse 'Zhui Feng'."
"The ancestors of the Qin State were people who raised and herded horses. Zhui Feng was trained in that way. For hundreds of years, one has been growing in Longxi, but there are not many of them."
"I don't know what will happen after merging with the sweat-blooded horse."
Xuan Lingzi introduced again.
Those who can fuse the blood of the sweat-blooded horses are not ordinary horses. Coupled with the elixir refined by the young master's uncle, those foals have grown up to be worthy of the first-class famous horses in Zhuxia.
"Will you be able to ride in three years?"
Yang Zi asked again. If he remembered correctly, Xuan Lingzi said this just now.
"Three years is enough. It could be faster."
With enough elixirs, the growth of those horses will only accelerate, and the horses will only grow better. It is not difficult to truly travel a thousand miles in a day.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a Taoist from the front hall in the distance walking towards him quickly. Xuan Lingzi raised his eyebrows and said instinctively.
"Brother, the guards have sent someone here. His Majesty the First Emperor is leaving the palace to go to the Wei River. He should be followed."
The young Taoist bowed his head.
"Your Majesty is leaving the palace."
"Then I'll get ready."
Xuan Lingzi was a little surprised. These days are the New Year, and there should be a lot of mundane government affairs in Xianyang Palace. Is His Majesty the First Emperor in such a mood?
I didn’t ask any more questions, it was not my responsibility.
