Chapter 41
Xue Shao couldn't help but be shocked. I forgot that this girl was in the "rebellious period of youth". She couldn't tease her like this, otherwise she would have to take it seriously!
"Your Highness, I'll just say it, don't take it seriously!" Xue Shao said with a smile.
"Don't laugh!" Princess Taiping was very angry and his subordinates pulled the horse's hair hard.
Sanhuama suddenly raised her neck and sniffed. Princess Taiping was startled, "This horse is so annoying!"
"Your Highness, don't blame it. At least it carried us to play for three days." Xue Shao said with a smile.
"Just hate it." Princess Taiping was not in a beautiful mood and didn't like anything. She said in a silly manner, "Look at it, it's short, poor in hair color, not strong in muscles and bones, and not bright in eyes. She even cut an ugly Sanhua! I used to hate Sanhua the most. Don't ride this stupid horse again in the future!"
In the Tang Dynasty, it was fashionable to cut horse hair for decoration. The ones cut into three petals were called Sanhua Horse. Li Bai has a poem "Five-flower horses, a thousand gold fur, and I'll send you a good wine." The five-flower horse refers to a horse with horse hair cut into five petals, which later became synonymous with good horses.
Xue Shao laughed, "Your Highness, I have two or three horses, but this one can barely ride out to meet people, and the others can only be used as driving cars or pack horses."
"Then you won't raise a few more good horses?" Princess Taiping was in a bad mood and became more and more depressed as she spoke.
Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, you really don't know that the firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Good horses are either scary or have a price but no market. How can they be raised just by raising them?"
"Are you criticizing my ignorance?" Princess Taiping said angrily, "Dropping off the horse, stop riding!"
Xue Shao smiled indifferently and jumped off the horse, using the standard technical movements of the Tota Heaven King to carry Princess Taiping off the horse. In the past few days, Princess Taiping seemed to have some habits and would not blush and care.
"Linlang, you can quickly choose two best BMWs and replace Xue Shao's big stupid horse!" Princess Taiping was in a bad mood and said fiercely, "I will never want to see this big stupid horse again in the future!"
"Why should your highness be angry about a livestock?" Xue Shao knew that she was not really angry with the horse, but was feeling depressed when she wanted to return to the palace.
"I am just angry! I am just unhappy!" Princess Taiping frowned with her mouth raised and was depressed.
Just like many students nowadays, after a holiday, she was naturally unhappy when she thought about going to school. What's more, Princess Taiping was about to leave Xue Shao and return to the cage-like palace. How could her mood be beautiful?
Xue Shao smiled slightly, "We will meet again soon."
"Really?" Princess Taiping was a little overjoyed.
"Have you forgotten that I promised to give you a gift." Xue Shao smiled, "At most, I will come to see His Highness the Princess at most three or five days."
"Really?" The depressed expression on Princess Taiping's face disappeared, and her eyes immediately lit up, "You are not allowed to break your promise!"
"real."
"Okay!" Princess Taiping was overjoyed, "At that time, you can go directly to the Dragon Shou Hall near the Dragon Pond of the Daming Palace. This palace will send people to wait for you every day!"
"A word is determined." Xue Shao nodded and smiled. He wanted to enter the palace to see the princess, but it was not something he could see just by wanting to see. Princess Taiping thought carefully.
"Then I'll wait for you..." Princess Taiping's voice softened and she said in a low voice.
"I'll come."
Later, Linlang led two big horses over, with the same fur red color, and it was covered with a layer of flame. Seeing that head, they were all taller than Xue Shao's Sanhua horse. The skeleton was sharp and small, with a slender neck and shiny fur, and the urethra was as bright as a gem.
What is commendable is that these two horses also have several patterns similar to tiger spots on their bodies - this is the logo of a purebred wild horse.
"Your Highness, these are two top-grade purebred horses that were tributed by the Western Regions, sweat-blooded BMWs." Sister Linlang said with his fists.
Xue Shao couldn't help but open his eyes wide. The top-grade purebred? Sweat-blooded BMW?... How many times more expensive than the mixed-blooded Dayuan horse I saw on the Western Market that day?
This is not a matter of price, the problem is that even if you have money, you can’t buy it!
"Xue Shao, they belong to you!" Princess Taiping waved her hand casually, "How about these two horses replace your big stupid horse?"
Xue Shao was stunned. Isn’t this equivalent to using two Bugatti Veyrons to exchange for a Charlie?
"Your Highness, one horse is enough."
"Two horses will be replaced for you to ride. From now on, I will use such a tall horse to carry my palace out for fun!"
A tall horse?
Xue Shao and Linlang almost showed a black line on their foreheads at the same time. This is a purebred, top-quality, sweat-blooded BMW with no market value, is it good?
"What's wrong with you? Why do you look at me like this?" Princess Taiping felt a little depressed when she saw the eunuchs and palace maids on the side ready to drive and wait for her. She said in disappointment, "Isn't it just a sweat-blooded BMW? Isn't it not that I've seen it before!"
All three of them showed a slightly awkward expression. Well, we have never seen each other before...
Xue Shao took one of them and said, "Your Highness, I am not greedy, it's really enough for one!"
"I said I asked you to take two horses away. Why do you hate me so much?" Princess Taiping shook her hand angrily and walked towards the carriage.
Xue Shao laughed and shook his head. Princess Taiping still has a childish temper.
Helplessly, Xue Shao had to bear the pain and say goodbye to Sanhua's "Big Stupid Horse" and took two sweat-blooded BMWs.
The people started to move and looked at the Xuanwu Gate of Daming Palace.
During the journey, Princess Taiping kept instructing him to "go slowly, walk slowly", and called Xue Shao to the side of the carriage and seized all the time to say a few more words to him.
"Your Highness, how about I give one of the sweat-blooded BMWs to Xue Chuyu?" Xue Shao said.
"Why?" Princess Taiping frowned unhappily, "I gave it to you specifically, why do you want to give it to someone else?"
Xue Shao smiled and whispered: "Have you forgotten the bet you promised three days ago? Although there is no result in hunting, since Your Highness rewards me with an extraordinary rule, you must not refuse to reward Xue Chuyu. Otherwise, if it is spread, someone will say that the princess rewards and punishments are unknown."
"Excuse." Princess Taiping curled her lips, "I know what you meant. Anyway, these two horses have been given to you. It's your business for you, so it's up to you."
"Thank you!" Xue Shao laughed. In fact, Princess Taiping is quite sensible and smart. She had long seen that I was interested in making friends with and taking care of Xue Chuyu, the brother of the family.
"Don't laugh!"
...
Xue Shao called Xue Chuyu aside, pointed to a sweat-blooded horse and said, "General, this is what the princess gave you."
Xue Chuyu was aware of the goods because his eyes widened. Perhaps he looked at money with a proud heart, but horses were of great significance to him, and they could not be measured by money.
Because he was a cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, when he went to the battlefield, war horses might mean life.
The three treasures of soldiers are "armor vests", weapons and armor may be easy to deal with, but a war horse with good quality is hard to come by for soldiers. Especially this purebred and top-quality sweat-blooded BMW is even more expensive. Back then, Lu Bu was able to kill his father and betray his father because of a red rabbit horse, which shows the importance of horses in the era of cold weapons.
"This... this BMW is too precious, and Chu Yu will not receive any reward without any merits! Besides, the princess is still guilty of not being able to protect the carriage when attacked by Chu Yu! The princess is not punished, and how can she receive rewards again? No, no! No!" Xue Chuyu was a little frightened, not just because she was guilty of accepting it. Even a third-rank general of the dynasty may not be able to ride on such a BMW.
Xue Shao smiled slightly, "Please accept it!"
"This... Chu Yu really dared not bear it!" Xue Chuyu breathed heavily, moved, and could not stop her from being in love. How can she accept such a valuable gift and how can she repay it?
"BMW is given a hero. You are a soldier who goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy and deserve such a good horse." Xue Shao smiled, "It is really a waste of resources for a playboy like me or those palace maids who snatch the priests to ride. As for the attack... Your Highness the Princess has never been a person with narrow abilities. Don't take it to heart. Now that the princess is so kind, how can you repeatedly refuse?"
"Then...then Chu Yu is ashamed!" Xue Chuyu hesitated and took the reins of the horse, and suddenly bowed solemnly, "Please thank His Highness the Princess for his son on behalf of Chu Yu!"
This worship is a bit similar to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, where Guan Yu thanked Cao Cao for giving him the Red Rabbit Horse.
"Okay." Xue Shao smiled loudly. Will you still have so many prejudices towards Princess Taiping in the future?
Xuanwu Gate has arrived.
Princess Taiping called for a parking car and refused to enter the palace for a long time.
Xue Shao rode his horse to the vicinity of the carriage. The sweat-blooded BMW was a cow. It ran as smooth and swift as a ball of beating fire, which was extremely eye-catching.
"What should I do? Xue Shao? I'm going to go back to the palace..." Princess Taiping raised her mouth and snorted in a low voice, "When will you come to see me?"
"As soon as possible." Xue Shao replied, the matter that depends on when the bra will be handled.
"How fast is it as soon as possible?" Princess Taiping curled her lips, "Is it OK tomorrow?"
Xue Shao smiled, "I'm afraid it won't work, I guess I'll have to wait three or five days."
"It's so annoying. I'll say it for another three or five days. Have you been so comfortable?" Princess Taiping frowned, "No, three days!"
"Okay, three days are only three days." Xue Shao laughed.
"Don't laugh!"
...
Surrounded by a group of Yulin soldiers and eunuch palace maids, Princess Taiping's carriage drove into the Daming Palace in a mighty manner.
Xue Shao rode a sweat-blooded horse like charcoal, standing in front of Xuanwu Gate and watching the princess car into the palace. The tall city gate slowly covered up.
A rumbling sound shook a piece of dust from history.
Although the Xuanwu Gate of the Daming Palace is not the Xuanwu Gate of the Taiji Palace where Li Shimin launched the coup, it has also experienced many coups in history, witnessing many historical moments that shook ancient and modern times.
Xue Shao stood in front of Xuanwu Gate, looking up at the tall city gate, the towering city walls and the Tang Dynasty dragon flag flying above the city tower, the bright golden slings and the giant drums of cowhides, and the Tang Dynasty soldiers wearing bright light armor holding a large horse spear.
The golden crow sinks west, and the setting sun is like blood.
Xue Shao frowned slightly and took a deep breath.
The Daming Palace is majestic and majestic; the Xuanwu Gate is high above.
Do I need to look up to it all the time?
