Chapter 306 Spring Outing
I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
Just as Zhi Shan'er's case of two murders and one corpse occurred, the inspector from the Ministry of Justice came the next moment. The corpse was still in the house of confinement, so it was naturally difficult to cover up.
That is to say, Wei Ruolan's status is not higher than others, and the two men were cautious and did not dare to delve into it. Otherwise, this one problem alone would be enough to make him suffer.
However, his reputation of being inconsiderate and easily bewitched by women gradually spread throughout the capital.
Sun Shaozong had no idea what the historians' attitude towards this rumor was, but Wei Ruolan's reputation as a 'young hero' was at least halved.
Along with the rumors, Miaoyu's name also spread. Some people said that she was hypocritically compassionate, some lamented that she meant well but did bad things, and some were obsessed with her beauty and talent.
There was even an anonymous scholar who wrote a special verdict for her, which read:
How can one be clean if he wants to be clean? The sky is not necessarily empty.
It's a pity that such precious metals will eventually fall into the mud.
It is said that when Miaoyu read this poem, she felt like she was hit by a wake-up call. She was in a daze for several days and had no appetite and could not untie her clothes for several days.
Stop talking nonsense.
However, after dealing with two days of "prison review", on the second day of April, Sun Shaozong got up from Yingchun's bed early, sneaked into the study, and discussed with his cheap brother how to play a double act in order to get more benefits from Wang Xifeng.
It was not until the sky gradually brightened that he said goodbye to his elder brother and hurried to the backyard.
Knowing that they would go on a spring outing today, several maids got ready early in the morning and were sitting in the pavilion in the northwest corner, chattering and laughing.
Seeing Sun Shaozong coming in from outside, they all hurried forward to greet him.
It’s true that learning to sing opera has its benefits. My voice is obviously much more pleasant than before.
Of course, all the maids in this courtyard were eliminated. Those who really had a talent for singing no longer had to serve others. A separate courtyard was set aside for their daily practice.
When Sun Shaozu got married a few days ago, it was those little girls and Liu Xianglian who performed on the stage - perhaps because she was proud of her status, Jiang Yuhan would not easily perform in public for others.
But when he entered the main hall, he saw Xiangling, who was pregnant, chatting with Shi Liu. Sun Shaozong went up to her and gently stroked her belly, saying jokingly, "I wonder if this bulge is a child or a belly full of ink."
Shi Liu covered her mouth and said, "Who knows, maybe he is a poet!"
Xiangling was already blushing from the teasing, and Ruan Rong happened to come out. Seeing that everyone was talking to Xiangling, she said casually: "Hurry up and try to please our talented girl. I will write a few poems for her today so that I can show off to Sister Lin."
"Sister~!"
Xiangling stomped her feet in a naive manner, wanting to go up and fight, but she was a twin after all, so she could only puff out her cheeks and look angry.
Sun Shaozong laughed out loud and kissed her on the face. Then he went to the west room to tease his son. As usual, he pricked the little guy with his beard, which made him annoyed. So he returned to the living room before the nanny showed her "trump card".
At this time, the maids were already ready. Sun Shaozong waved his hand, and a dozen maids and old women led out of the yard with large and small bags.
Even though all these people combined might not have even 1/5th of Sun Shaozong's strength, as a master, how could he possibly carry his own luggage?
He supported Xiangling and held Ruan Rong's arm along the way. In the eyes of the maids and old women, he was already the standard template of a good man.
With a family to travel with, especially a pregnant woman, it was naturally difficult for them to travel fast. By the time they finally got out of the city and chose a place with pleasant scenery, it was almost noon.
After making an appointment with Xiangling, he would go to a nearby temple alone in the afternoon to pray for her and her son without anyone else. Sun Shaozong then mounted the good horse given by Feng Ziying and pulled Ruan Rong up.
“Gee~!”
Whipping their horses, the two of them galloped down the gentle hillside.
Sun Shaozong held the reins with one hand and put the other around Ruan Rong's waist.
Ruan Rong giggled, took out the bow and arrow she had prepared long ago, and looked around, but unfortunately she couldn't find a suitable target.
Although it felt pretty good to gallop on horseback while hugging each other, in order to enrich the variety of lunch, Sun Shaozong still straightened his back and looked around for a suitable hunting spot.
The left side was adjacent to the official road, so it was naturally rejected; the sparse woods looked like they might be able to hunt something, so Sun Shaozong immediately turned his horse's head and galloped towards the woods on the right.
As it got closer, I saw a gray-haired hare running out of the woods.
"Don't shoot yet!"
When Sun Shaozong saw the rabbit's carefree look, he knew it must be being chased by something. He then listened carefully and heard the rumbling sound of horse hooves coming from the grove. He hurriedly reminded Ruan Rong not to steal other people's prey.
However, this reminder was obviously unnecessary, because the arrow shot by Ruan Rong was clearly still a long way from the rabbit.
"middle!"
Suddenly, a sharp arrow shot out from the woods and nailed the hare to the ground.
but……
Judging from the voice, it is obviously a woman!
Sun Shaozong and Ruan Rong looked out of curiosity, and saw a handsome black horse emerging from the woods, with a heroic female knight on top.
So long!
As soon as Sun Shaozong took a look, his eyes were attracted by the legs of the female knight - because she was hunting on horseback, the woman was wearing tight trousers, so her two insanely long legs were exposed without reservation!
In terms of length alone, Siqi might be able to compete with this woman due to her height, but if the shocking lines and contours are taken into account, Siqi will be far behind.
Besides, the woman's facial features were also of first-rate beauty, and compared with Ruan Rong in Sun Shaozong's arms, she was as beautiful as a spring orchid and an autumn chrysanthemum, each having her own merits.
But after the woman rode out of the woods on her horse, a dozen riders came chasing after her, and they were all pretty female soldiers!
One of the riders stepped forward and picked up the hare. All the female soldiers cheered, but the long-legged woman did not react at all. Her narrow phoenix eyes only looked back and forth at Sun Shaozong.
After a long while, she suddenly pulled the bowstring towards Sun Shaozong, shot an arrow with a bang, and then without saying a word, she led the female army and rushed into the woods again.
Tsk~
If it was just a guess before, with this false shot, Sun Shaozong could already confirm the identity of this woman - apart from the princess of Beijing and Wei Ruolan's sister, which other long-legged young woman could have such a demeanor and wish to shoot herself to death with an arrow? !
Speaking of this old lecher, Prince Zhongshun, he has quite a good eye. If Miss Wei's legs were wrapped around her waist, it would be perfect...
"What bad things are you thinking?!"
Ruan Rong felt some "restlessness" behind her, and she couldn't help but pout in embarrassment.
"Well……"
Sun Shaozong scratched his head awkwardly, then laughed again, "Nothing, I just suddenly remembered an anecdote about Yang Guifei and Emperor Minghuang of Tang on horseback - why don't we find a place where no one is around, and I'll tell you about it..."
"Bah! Stop making trouble!"
Ruan Rong knew it a good idea, so she elbowed him in the ribs and said, "Hurry up and find some good prey, Sister Xiangling is waiting!"
