Queen of flowers - chapter 140

Feng Liao was pulled by Feng Shi to play. He did horse racing, drank and played a variety of gambling games. When he returned at night, he was a little tired.

After returning to Xingjun Wangfu, Yong Ruo gave him a massage.

Feng Liao closed his eyes and lid on the bed with great enjoyment, and said jokingly, “Ruo Ruo, when I was riding a horse outside today, I suddenly had a very absurd idea, I thought what would happen if you were a man!”

Yong Ruo raised her eyebrows, “If I was a man, I could ride horses with Wang Ye, and walk together?”

Feng Liao couldn’t help chuckling. He closed his eyes with a lot of enjoyment, but stretched out his right hand and compared it with his thumb, “Ruo Ruo you will indeed be my confidante! But then I thought, If you were a man, I wouldn’t get married to you and have children. The loss would be great! So I just think it is better for you to be a woman.”

Yong Ruo wanted to learn how to ride a horse in case she needed it in the future. She laughed and said, “Can’t women learn how to ride a horse?”

In her opinion, ancient people learned to ride horses and modern people learned to drive. They were one of the non-essential life skills, but if people knew them it would be better.

Feng Liao’s eyes lit up but he hesitated, then shook his head, “I think it’s okay, but I’m afraid that others will talk about you. Besides, learning how to ride a horse is a bit dangerous. If you accidentally fall, it could be fatal! Forget it!”

He shook his head and gave up the seductive idea.

Yong Ruo didn’t want to let it go, “Wang Ye feels that I haven’t been gossiped about enough?”

Feng Liao suddenly turned his head and looked at her, “Who said you are a topic of gossip?” His brow frowned slightly, and there was a slight anger in his voice.

“Because it is a gossip about me, naturally, no one will speak in front of me. If you want to know, Wang Ye may ask Jiao another day.”

Feng Liao turned to lay flat. He took her hand, and said thoughtfully, “Do you mean no matter what we do, people will talk behind our back?”

Yong Ruo nodded, “Exactly! No matter what I do or don’t do, people will inevitably gossip behind our backs. They can pick out bones in the egg, not to mention that no one is perfect. What’s wrong with that? Why bother with what other people say?”

(Pick out bones in the egg: complain about non existent things.)

Feng Liao thought for a moment. He nodded slightly, and agreed, “It makes sense! You don’t need to worry about gossip. But I still don’t agree with you to learn how to ride a horse, it’s too dangerous!”

“Since it’s so dangerous, why does Wang Ye have to learn it? Wang Ye’s life is more important than my life.”

“Nonsense! Your life is as important as my life!” Feng Liao half-raised his body and flicked his finger lightly on her forehead, and said with some dissatisfaction, “Don’t say such a stupid words!”

“Okay, I won’t say it again,” Yong Ruo frowned. She was both serious and proud, “Please answer my questions positively!”

“How can it be the same? I’m a man, stronger than you, more flexible than you. So it is easier for me to control the horse.”

“Wang Ye is stronger than me, and I admit it. But to say that Wang Ye is more flexible than me, this is very skeptical!” Yong Ruo said with provocation.

Feng Liao smiled a little. He gently lifted Yong Ruo’s chin and his thumb rubbed her delicate skin, “Why, does Rou Rou want to compete with me?”

“Yes!”

Feng Liao looked at her, “Looking at you like this, if you don’t lose will you not give up?”

“Yes!”

“How do we compete? So, for your sake, the test method will be left up to you. Whatever you say, Bengwang will follow,” Feng Liao also raised his chin and said proudly.

“This is what Wang Ye said.”

“I never take back my words. However, the subject of the test had to do with flexibility. If you want me to compete with you in embroidery, I will definitely lose.”

“That’s natural. I need a day or two to arrange it.”

Yong Ruo thought, ‘How to make it difficult for Feng Liao?’

She recalled the topography in the house, and drew two drawings. She gave it to Jiao Tong and asked him to make arrangements as soon as possible. She and Feng Liao had a test.

The next day, Feng Liao entered the palace and received the second errand entrusted to him by the emperor; co-organizing the wedding ceremony of Princess Long Qing.

Feng Liao was very happy when he returned.

He said to Yong Ruo, “This errand is not hard at all! There are officials of the Ministry of Rites and the clan’s house in charge of affairs. I will just need to look around and check it. The last errand was also very simple. It seems that Uncle Emperor still cares about me! “

Yong Ruo laughed and thought, ‘The emperor would like to give you a little sweetness first, so as not to scare you away, and probably a little bit for you to participate in Princess Long Qing marriage. The real tasks will come later!’

But now there was no need to crack down Feng Liao. She let him happily finish his errand first!
