Chapter 110 Horse Racing Sequelae
Chapter 110 Horse Racing Sequelae
Lu Chenshuang hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, and the horse was wild and difficult to tame, so it took her a lot of effort.
So after she came back she felt like her whole body was falling apart.
Luckily, she was a doctor, so she prescribed a medicinal bath for herself and then soaked in it.
Guyu and Xiaoman helped her bathe and massage her.
Lu Chenshuang grimaced in pain, but inexplicably felt a sense of relief after exercise.
Xiao Man at the side grumbled in dissatisfaction: "This prince is really something. Why does he have to ask the girl to go horseback riding when there are so many other things to do? Is that what a young lady from an aristocratic family should do?"
Gu Yu, who was standing beside him, agreed and said, "Yes, young lady. The prince himself was born a military general and is used to riding horses when marching and fighting. But young lady has never ridden a horse before."
Xiaoman and Guyu did not go with them, so they also thought that Lu Chenshuang did not know how to ride a horse and was taught by Mu Hansu on the spot.
When Lu Chenshuang heard her two personal maids complaining non-stop, she felt a little guilty for a moment.
This matter really can't be blamed on Mu Hansu. He found her a docile pony, but she didn't like it and fell in love with Mu Hansu's fierce horse.
Mu Hansu also gave the wild horse to her with great reluctance.
Now her own maid was criticizing Mu Hansu, and even though Lu Chenshuang was thick-skinned, she couldn't stand it anymore.
So he pretended to cough and said, "Okay, stop complaining, it's all my fault. I insisted on riding that fierce horse and played too crazy at the time."
Xiaoman curled her lips when she heard this and said, "Miss, please don't make excuses for him. If he hadn't insisted on asking you to go horseback riding, this wouldn't have happened."
In Xiaoman's opinion, it was a mistake for Mu Hansu to ask them girls to go out horseback riding.
Seeing that the explanation was not working, Lu Chenshuang changed her approach and said, "He is the prince, the commander-in-chief who controls all the troops in the world. It would not be good if he heard what you said."
As expected, Xiaoman shut his mouth as soon as Lu Chenshuang said this.
After soaking for half an hour, Lu Chenshuang felt much more relaxed all over, and fell asleep as soon as she came out of the bathroom.
As for Mu Hansu, he was in a particularly good mood, so he rarely returned to Prince Zhan's Mansion.
When the late emperor was alive, he granted Mu Hansu a mansion, but because he was often away leading troops in battles, he was rarely in the capital. Even when he occasionally returned to the capital for a few days, he was either in the military camp or had other things to do.
He seldom went back to his own residence.
So Mu Hansu's visit to the mansion made the servants in the mansion very busy this time.
The chief steward of Prince Zhan's mansion came out with a group of junior stewards in a grand manner to greet them.
Then they all knelt down and greeted him.
Mu Hansu looked at the old butler kneeling in front of him and walked forward to help him up and said, "Uncle Cheng, please get up."
The old butler who was called Uncle was the chief eunuch who served the late emperor. He watched Mu Hansu grow up.
It is said that a new emperor appoints new ministers, and the same goes for eunuchs.
Although there is not much rift between the old emperor and the current emperor, he can no longer serve as the chief eunuch.
At that time, Mu Hansu's Prince Zhan's Mansion was in need of a chief steward, so Mu Hansu asked Eunuch Cheng if he was willing.
The late emperor is no longer alive. It is meaningless for Eunuch Cheng to stay in the palace any longer, and he can live out his days in peace in Prince Zhan's mansion.
So I agreed immediately.
During these years when Mu Hansu was away from the capital, Prince Zhan's Mansion was kept in perfect order by Eunuch Cheng.
He also strictly controlled his servants and never caused any trouble.
Although Mu Hansu was not in the capital, he knew all these things.
Looking at Eunuch Cheng who stood up from the ground, Mu Hansu said again: "You have worked hard these past few years. I am relieved to leave the Zhan Palace to you."
These few words brought Eunuch Cheng to tears. With these words, all his hard work over the years were not in vain.
This is His Highness's recognition of him, just like the late emperor's recognition of him.
He was always by the late emperor's side and understood his thoughts best.
In fact, the late emperor’s favorite heir to the throne was Mu Hansu.
However, Mu Hansu was still young and had a tough style of doing things. The old emperor was not afraid that he would not be able to maintain order in the court, but was afraid that he would lose his temper and kill all the civil and military officials in the court.
Secondly, Mu Hansu really had no intention of taking the throne.
The emperor wanted his favorite son to live freely, so he finally passed the throne to Mu Hanyu.
Of course, Mu Hanyu has been dedicated, diligent and caring for the people over the years, and he is also a rare good emperor in history.
Eunuch Cheng came back to his senses from his thoughts and said, "My Lord, I have someone clean your yard every day.
You look so exhausted, why don't you take a bath and rest? I will send the account books of the past few years to your yard later."
Mu Hansu felt helpless when he heard this. He hadn't been back for two or three years, and there were indeed a lot of backlog of account books in the past few years.
Although he believed in Eunuch Cheng, as the master, he still had to do his job.
So he nodded and said okay, and then went straight back to his yard.
The yard was cleaned every day and it was not much different from when he left last time.
Mu Hansu asked someone to prepare water for him, as he needed to wash the horse after riding it all day.
Mu Hansu is nearly 1.9 meters tall, and because he has been practicing martial arts for many years, his eight abdominal muscles are particularly obvious.
But he is not that kind of muscular man.
She has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, an upright posture, and a face that makes people angry. When she sits in the bathtub, she looks like a beauty emerging from the bath.
It’s just that I didn’t dare to look at this beautiful scenery.
Mu Hansu lay in the bathtub with his eyes slightly closed. He thought of Lu Chenshuang's agile figure when riding a horse, and her charming smile, which lingered in Mu Hansu's mind for a while.
Whenever he thought of Lu Chenshuang, the corners of his mouth would always uncontrollably rise.
No woman had ever made him do this.
Mu Hansu didn’t know what this was called, but he knew that he was probably attracted to Lu Chenshuang.
After confirming that he had this idea, Mu Hansu opened his eyes, his eyes clear and determined.
He asked, "Has Miss Lu arrived home?"
Suddenly, a man in black knelt down in front of him and replied, "Your Highness has already returned home. I saw her enter the courtyard on West Street."
Mu Hansu hummed softly when he heard this, and then asked, "Who lives next to her?"
The man in black quickly replied, "The one living in the east is a scholar, who is 26 years old this year. The one living in the west is a businessman who is not at home all year round."
Mu Hansu pondered for a moment and said, "Go and buy that scholar's house. I will pay double the price.
Don’t let anyone else know about this.”
The man in black didn't dare to pause for a moment when he heard this and immediately agreed.
Only after leaving the house did the secret guard dare to breathe a sigh of relief.
