Chapter 19 "Chu Hanxiao, are you worried about me?"
"What's wrong, Grandpa?"
General Luo quickly straightened up and called the old butler over.
"Go and see if Shaolan has gone far! Stop Feng Iris!"
The old butler was embarrassed when he heard this and said:
"Old Master...it's been almost an hour since Madam left. I guess they've fought two games by now!"
aunt?
Xie Qinghuan was a little confused.
"Is it my aunt who wants to use the Phoenix Iris?"
General Luo patted his thigh and sighed:
"Oh, isn't your aunt a polo player? She heard that the granddaughter of the Protector of the Country is good at polo, but she couldn't get an appointment with her after several attempts...
A few days ago, she heard that the girl was also looking for Feng Yuanwei, so she took the medicinal herbs in the mansion as a prize..."
The granddaughter of the Duke of Protectorate?
Ji Wanjun?
She remembered that she was a heroic woman.
When doing things, be vigorous and decisive.
Very different from ordinary girls in the boudoir.
but……
"What does she want Feng Iris to do?"
General Luo scratched his gray hair.
"It seems to be presented to Princess Jiarou, saying it can improve beauty and prolong life..."
Yes.
Princess Jiarou is the twin sister of the scumbag Chu Yongji.
She is also the granddaughter of the Duke of Huguo and the cousin of Ji Wanjun.
It’s Chu Yongji and Chu Jiarou’s birthday soon.
Ji Wanjun naturally had to prepare some gifts.
However, it would be a waste to give this rare herb to Chu Jiarou!
She wants to help Chu Hanxiao fight for it!
“Grandfather, I took this herb to save someone, and I want to ask my aunt to try it again!”
"Go! Grandpa will go with you!"
When General Luo heard this, he quickly got up from the ground.
Xie Qinghuan was a little worried about his health, so he picked up his dry wrist and checked it, and found that the old man was still quite strong.
Only then did she agree to let him accompany her.
After pulling his cloak closer, Xie Qinghuan turned around and saw Chu Hanxiao in the distance.
Her eyes lit up, but because her grandfather was still around, she didn't greet him.
But she still waved at him quietly.
This caused the icy face to curl his lips unconsciously.
Afterwards, the group went to Luo Family Horse Farm.
When we got there, two polo games had already been played.
Xie Qinghuan followed his grandfather to find Ren Shaolan and greet her.
"Aunt is well."
When Ren Shaolan saw Xie Qinghuan, her eyes lit up.
"Ah, Qinghuan has grown so big now. The last time I saw you, you were still a little kid!"
Unlike General Luo, she cannot leave the house at will.
Therefore, all the news she knew about Xie Qinghuan came from General Luo and the noble ladies in the capital.
The polarization is extremely serious.
Xie Qinghuan, as described by General Luo, is innocent, cute, lively and clever, and is simply a replica of his aunt;
And the lady described her in a very unbearable way...
Some say she is shameless, chasing after Prince Yong everywhere;
Or say that she is domineering and treats her servants harshly!
But now that she had seen it with her own eyes, she felt that the rumors were not accurate.
She is clearly a good daughter who is both quirky and well-educated!
Sweet looks, soft voice...
Just a simple sentence: Aunt, how are you?
This made Ren Shaolan, who had given birth to three sons in a row, feel heartbroken.
"How come you have time to come to my aunt's horse ranch today?"
General Luo saw this and spoke on his behalf.
"Oh, it's my fault... My grandson had already said that he wanted Phoenix Iris, but I forgot...
Can you change your prize? Let the old man have this Phoenix Iris!"
Ren Shaolan felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.
"Father, this... Miss Ji from the Duke of the Guard came here just for this prize. It would be bad if I go back on my word..."
Xie Qinghuan didn't want to embarrass Shaolan, so she pinched the embroidered handkerchief and spoke.
"Don't worry, Aunt. Since it's a jackpot... I'll just go out and win it."
"what?"
Is she going to play?
How could she, a young lady who was brought up like a princess in the prime minister's mansion, know how to ride a horse?
General Luo also glared.
"No! My dear grandson, if you want the Phoenix Iris, Grandpa will go find it for you. Let's not do something so dangerous, okay?"
Ren Shaolan on the side blinked, feeling dissatisfied.
How can it be dangerous for us to play polo?
Xie Qinghuan was also a little hesitant.
The poison in Chu Hanxiao's body would break out at irregular intervals.
The longer you delay, the more you will suffer...
She couldn't wait.
Then she acted coquettishly towards her grandfather.
"It's okay, Grandpa, I want to go down and play for a while too!"
"But, can you ride a horse?"
“I guess…”
Normally, this won’t happen.
But in her previous life, she was attacked during the autumn hunt and was kidnapped on horseback.
Chu Hanxiao shot and killed the assassin, but she almost fell off her horse and was scared to death...
After that, she was taken by Chu Hanxiao and learned horse riding and archery.
I even learned some martial arts to defend myself...
"No, no, this is too dangerous!"
Seeing that his grandfather did not agree, Xie Qinghuan promised:
"Don't worry, Grandfather. I will never let myself get hurt. I promise!"
Seeing that she insisted, General Luo had to give in.
"If you feel anything is wrong, feel free to call a halt! Grandfather is right here watching you!"
"Good~"
Xie Qinghuan smiled sweetly, which made General Luo worried again.
Chu Hanxiao took the maid downstairs to change into riding clothes and stopped her.
[You don't know how to ride a horse, it's too dangerous to go on stage! ]
Xie Qinghuan pursed her lips, her big eyes blinking.
He gently leaned forward and asked with a smile, tilting his head.
"Chu Hanxiao, are you worried about me?"
Chu Hanxiao choked and looked a little unhappy.
[Stop it, you can't go! ]
Xie Qinghuan was happy and had a sweet smile.
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you get the Phoenix Iris!"
Chu Hanxiao was stunned.
I can't understand why she would do this for him.
Seeing her turn around, he went around to the front and stopped her.
[I don't want to eat, so don't go.]
Xie Qinghuan suddenly leaned forward and held his rough big hands with her two small hands.
The fair and delicate hands contrasted sharply with his scarred hands.
Small, white, warm and soft...
Chu Hanxiao subconsciously wanted to pull back, but restrained himself.
I looked up at her in surprise, only to see her smile playfully.
"I'm fine, just believe me, I can win!"
His eyes were burning and his tone was firm.
Chu Hanxiao was held captive for a quarter of an hour. When he came to his senses, Xie Qinghuan had already changed into his riding clothes.
Seeing her, who was always gentle and delicate, suddenly wearing a red dress with her long hair tied up high...
Chu Hanxiao's movements were a little slow, his brain couldn't keep up, and his eyes were a little straight.
Xie Qinghuan strode over and smiled.
"Hey...does it look good?"
She even circled in front of him.
Watching her demonstration, Chu Hanxiao coughed lightly, and his ears turned a little red.
He turned his head away and stopped looking at her.
Xie Qinghuan lowered her eyes and looked at the hem of her skirt, muttering softly.
"Isn't it pretty? I'm not suitable for wearing this kind of clothes."
Chu Hanxiao had no expression on his face and didn't say anything.
The tips of my ears felt slightly hot.
Seeing that he ignored her, Xie Qinghuan pouted and walked forward.
He quietly stood behind her and gestured:
【Be careful. 】
After hearing Yu Luo's translation, she looked back as she walked and said with a smile:
"Hey, I will!"
