Interlude at the Horse Farm

  Just as he walked onto the campus, Long Hanyan heard a commotion from afar and looked over to see what was happening. He couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly because the situation on the horse track was chaotic. Anyone with eyes could tell that something big had happened.

  "On ordinary days when taking riding and shooting courses, there are always instructors by their side to take care of them, so nothing unexpected has ever happened. How can letting those little guys play on their own lead to trouble? It seems that in the future, it's better to let them come less often, even if they want to exercise, it's still best to have those instructors take care of them."

  Long Yintian didn't let the eunuchs who followed him convey the message, but instead called over a small eunuch who was responsible for serving here and asked while carefully observing the situation in the horse field: "Tell me, what exactly happened here?"

  The little eunuch, seeing that it was the Emperor himself, was immediately nervous and knelt down, stuttering: "R-reporting to Your Majesty, s-sixth prince's horse was startled..."

  "Yong Yao?" Just as Long Hanyan was wondering why Yong Yao would be here, his eyes suddenly lit up and he discovered Yong Yao's slightly thin and weak figure in the crowd.

  Yongzhao sat steadily on his horse, anxiously and worriedly gazing at the chaotic scene in the distance. Long Yitian nodded to himself in his heart, it seemed that Yongzhao was also a very self-aware person, knowing that his body was not good, so even if his own brother was in trouble, he did not go forward to show off, otherwise, he might make things worse.

  "Yilachi, go and bring Sixth Brother back to me safely." After Long Yitian finished speaking, he walked straight towards Yongzhang's side.

  Yilazi took the reins from Ma Guan's hand, mounted the horse with a familiar motion, grasped the reins tightly and turned the horse's head sharply, galloping towards Yong Yao.

  Although nominally Yelü Qi was just a palace guard, in reality, apart from his exceptional martial arts skills, he was also outstanding in horsemanship and archery, surpassing everyone present, which is why Long Huan Tian would send him to ensure Yong Ruo's safety to the greatest extent.

  Because there was no eunuch to report, the small eunuchs around Yongzhao didn't realize that the emperor had arrived until Long Yitian approached, and they all knelt down in a hurry to pay their respects.

  Yongzhao sat on his horse, looking down from a high vantage point, and should have easily noticed, but unfortunately all his attention was focused on Yongyao in the distance, so he didn't realize that everyone around him had already knelt down until the people around him chorused "Long live Your Majesty", only then did he suddenly come to his senses.

  As soon as he saw the bright yellow figure standing beside him, Yongzhao hastily tried to dismount his horse to pay respects to Long Yitian, after all, not dismounting in the presence of the emperor was a serious offense.

  But Long Yitian's movements were a step faster than Yongzhang's, he directly flipped onto the horseback with a swing of his clothes, his left hand wrapped around Yongzhang's waist, and his right hand violently shook the reins, the horse under him obediently spread its hooves and "whooshed" out quickly, its swift movements fully living up to its name as Flying Thunder.

  Long Yitian's movements were extremely fast, and by the time the crowd around him reacted, he and Yongzhang's figures had already disappeared several feet away.

  It was those imperial guards who reacted quickly, mounting their horses and chasing after him, leaving the eunuchs standing on the spot, helplessly watching the emperor's figure disappear into the distance. Gao Yu's heart was filled with tears: 'Your Majesty, how come you're even more impulsive than when you were young? This slave's heart can't take such shocks...'

  It wasn't until after a while that Yongzhang finally came to his senses, realizing that his Huang Ama was actually riding with him on the same horse, and those strong arms had locked him in tightly. Waves of warmth were slowly spreading through his chilled clothes, warming up his body and gradually calming his mind. This feeling couldn't be described by any words, and it was something he had never experienced before.

  Long Hui Tian controlled the flying electric speeder to move forward lightly and quietly, and whispered in Yong Zhang's ear: "When you came out riding a horse, why didn't you wear more? Look at your body, it's cold like a piece of ice."

  Yongzhang felt a warm breath lightly brush past his ear, and a numbness spread from the sensitive edge of his ear to his entire body, causing his body to tremble involuntarily. His breathing and heartbeat became completely disordered, making him feel both strange and yet not repelled, with a hint of expectation.

  It took a great deal of effort to finally react to Long Yitian's words, and Yongzhang's brain was somewhat confused as he replied casually: "Maybe I was in a hurry when I came out, so I forgot. But now that the emperor is here, I don't feel cold at all."

  Long Hui smiled and pursed his lips after hearing Tian Ting's words. For some reason, he felt extremely pleased with Yong Zhen's honesty at this moment.

  He directly raised his hand and pulled off the cloak on his body, wrapped it around Yongzhao's thin body, and then urged the flying electric to move forward again. He said loudly: "In that case, I will ride a little faster. Yongzhao, hold on tight."

  Just as Yongzhang hadn't reacted yet, Feidian let out a cheerful whinny and took off in a thoroughbred sprint. For a horse, being able to run so freely was an extremely delightful thing.

  Yongzhang hastily grasped Longyintian's arm, as the horse galloped faster and faster, he gradually immersed his heart in it, feeling the cold wind rushing towards him, feeling the warm and rhythmic breath by his ear, feeling the warmth that tightly wrapped around him. He only felt that at this moment, it seemed like there were only two people in the entire world, himself and Huang Ama.

  For some reason, this feeling gave him the urge to cry. He wished that this road would never end and that this moment could last forever. But he also understood better than anyone else that this was impossible. Reality would never be as beautiful as his wishes.

  Running forward with the wind, watching the scenery around quickly retreat backwards, the speed not only makes the horse happy, but also brings joy to the mind and body, temporarily putting down the troubles in one's heart, gradually immersing oneself in this pleasure.

  Long Hui had no idea what Yong Zhang was thinking at this moment, he just gradually immersed himself in the beauty of speed, although the horses here were far from as fast as those in Qing Long Country, but it was enough to let him relax.

  The horse galloped in a circle on the field before Long Hui Tian slowed down, controlling Fei Dian to arrive beside Yong Yu.

  At this time, Yong Yao had already been rescued by Ira Chi and was unharmed, only a bit frightened, so his little face was still pale.

  Long Hui stopped the horse steadily, got off lightly and smoothly, and then didn't forget to carry Yongzhang down from the horse. His action naturally attracted the attention of many people around him.

  However, most people were very careful and only took a quick glance before hurriedly lowering their heads, afraid of offending the emperor. Only Yong Ruo was staring with wide eyes at the scene in front of him.

  Actually, Yongzhang is no longer a young child now. This adult horse is not high for him at all. He can easily get on and off the horse. At most, it's just because he's wearing a large cloak, so it's slightly inconvenient.

  Long Hui Tian's actions were clearly impulsive, without considering others. However, the movements of the two people made one feel somewhat ambiguous, especially Yong Zhang's expression seemed slightly unnatural, which raised some doubts in Yong Yan's heart as she stood beside Yong Yao.

  Long Hui Tian's hand was still on Yongzhao's waist, making sure he was steady before turning to look at Yonghuan, who was still shivering slightly. His face sank and his tone was unpleasant as he asked, "Yonghuan, if I'm not mistaken, shouldn't you be with your brother at this time?"

  "Huang Ama...", Yong Yu slightly pouted, looked at Long Yintian with a faintly red eyes, then quickly lowered his head and replied in an almost inaudible voice: "Your son knows he was wrong."

  Yong Yi saw Yong Ruo being scolded, so he hastily stood up and said: "Imperial Father, actually it was I who promised to bring Sixth Brother here to ride horses. This time, harming Sixth Brother, I also have responsibility."

  Yongzhao was also worried that Yongmo would be punished, seeing that Yongdan had already stood up, he immediately bowed his head and said: "Imperial Father, I, your son, did not take good care of my younger brother, and I am also responsible for this. I am willing to accept punishment."

  Looking at the three interesting children in front of him, Long Yitian's heart was actually not annoyed at all, but there were some things he still had to say. So, he continued to speak in a tone that couldn't be heard with joy or anger: "Today's incident, you three are all wrong, but the two of you who are brothers are the most wrong. Yong Yuannian is still young and naturally likes to play, Yongzhan and Yongjing, as brothers, not only failed to take care of your younger brother, but also indulged him in his mischief. This is one mistake; secondly, how old is Yong Yuannian? How can he compare with you two? Although the Shadow listens well, it's not something that Yong Yuannian can control. Fortunately, today the Shadow was only slightly frightened, if it really got out of hand, Yong Yuannian would have been seriously injured today. Do you two understand the pros and cons now?"

  Yong Yao is Yong Zhan's most beloved younger brother. Today, he just hoped that Yong Yao would be happier, but never thought it would have such severe consequences. Fortunately, Yong Yao was not hurt, but after hearing Long Yintian say so, his heart still had some lingering fear. He sincerely bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Your son now understands, thank you for the emperor's teachings."

  Yong Yin indeed had some indulgent thoughts, but he didn't expect that the normally gentle Jue Ying would be startled today, so he also lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Your son knows his wrongs, thank you, Imperial Father, for your teachings."
