Jinxinhui's last royal competition has finally come to the forefront!
The venue for the competition today is different from the previous five, and it was changed to a horse farm located in the northwest corner of the Imperial College.
At the moment, in a pavilion near the horse farm, a month-long young man in white robe and a girl in red were talking.
"Liu Niang," the young man carefully pulled out a peace symbol from his arms, "I asked for it from you."
The girl in red in the pavilion was Fu Yunyan. I saw that she did not apply powder on her face, and she wore a simple ponytail. Her sharp red riding suit showed her slender and well-proportioned posture.
She took the peace symbol with joy, and looked carefully as if she had received any treasure.
Seems familiar... This is...
She thought about something, blinked, and asked, "A Xin, did you ask for it from the Galan Temple?"
Fu Yunyan and Nangong Yue have also visited the Galan Temple before. Knowing that Galan Temple has the nickname "Zhuangyuan Temple", that is to say, did she ask her to win the champion?
The upper Galan Temple has to walk a thousand steps!
Nangong Xin gave a shy smile and nodded.
Fu Yunyan looked at Nangong Xin immediately, and his clear eyes shone brightly like obsidian, and his beautiful face glowed brighter than the sun.
"A Xin," Fu Yunyan smiled confidently, radiant, "I will definitely win!"
Since childhood, she grew up listening to the story of her grandmother. She has always dreamed of having the opportunity to charge for Dayu and fight for the enemy. Now, although she has not been able to step on the real battlefield, she finally has the opportunity to do something for Dayu What... could be a dream for her.
Looking at her self-confidence, Nangong Xin couldn't help but also smiled. The bright smile gave him a handsome face.
He nodded vigorously and said with more certainty than her: "Liu Niang, of course you will win!"
Looking at the pair of bi people in the pavilion, the blue-haired girl waiting outside was almost unbearable, but the time was approaching. She still only coughed and reminded: "Miss Fu Liu, the time is almost. You It's time to prepare."
Fu Yunyan has not always been a scumbag, and immediately waved goodbye to Nangong Xin: "A Xin, I'm gone!"
She smiled and turned away decisively, while Nangong Xin stayed in the pavilion and watched her go away with a smile...
The time passed little by little, and the Royal Tournament was approaching little by little. Within Guozijian, both the contestants and the observers were becoming more and more nervous and anxious, and this emotion also spread beyond the stadium...
In a restaurant outside the Guozi prison, it was already overcrowded, and the man in charge of the shop was smiling so that the meat of his chin was about to fall.
Those diners knew and didn't know, all sat together and discussed vigorously today's imperial tournament.
"Brother Hong, do you think today's Royal Tournament, can we Dayu win again?" a thin middle-aged man asked worriedly.
The brother Hong is called a tall and strong man, and said roughly: "I heard that all the girls who participated in the Royal Championship this time were some girls from the goalkeeper, all of them were extraordinary riding, and they will definitely win!"
"This Xiongtai is right," a young man at the next table couldn't help but talk to them, "I have found a friend to listen to it, and the girls from the General Zhenbei Palace, Yongyang Grand Princess Palace, and Weiyanghou Palace all participated. In today’s Royal Race, the Nanman saint is so delicate, I think it must be lost!"
The other diners on the side also thought deeply and nodded frequently.
At this moment, a low-pitched male voice suddenly said in awkward Dayu words: "This little brother, I think you still don't brag for your Dayu!"
In an instant, all the diners in the restaurant focused their attention on the master of the sound. It was a man in his early thirties with dark skin. His deep eye sockets and exotic facial features let everyone Suddenly realized that this man is not a Dayu.
Seeing him dressed as a merchant, it is estimated to be a businessman from a foreign country.
It is said that Nanban is exposed to high temperature all year round, and dark skin is one of the characteristics of most Nanban people.
The man with the surname Hong said hesitantly: "Are you Nan... Baiyue people?" He didn't change the "Nanman" almost blurted out into "Baiyue".
The merchant said with a rough throat: "Although I am not a Baiyue, but our merchants run south and north, and I have been to Baiyue a few times. The girls there are all able to walk and learn to ride horses, saying It’s not an exaggeration to grow up on horseback!” There was a hint of contempt in his words, “You Dayu haven’t always claimed to be a nation of poems, books, etiquette? Books, paintings, and chess have all been lost to the saint of Baiyue. , Fortunately, let's put a lot of words here!"
In fact, the dispute between Dayu and Baiyue was not related to this business. It was just that listening to the Dayu people left one "Nanman" and right one "Nanman", which was a bit harsh.
He always knew that the Dayu people thought they were right and regarded the Quartet countries as barbarous. In the past, when he came to this business, he could only swallow his voice, and this time he had a rare opportunity to speak out.
The young man is just a man of flesh and blood. Hearing this trader's so lowly demeaning Dayu, I really want to raise his fist.
At this moment, a smiling teenager suddenly said: "This uncle, since you are so confident in the maiden of Baiyue, how about we bet?"
The trader was stunned and hesitated.
The teenager sat down opposite him politely, still smiling, "Aren't you afraid, uncle?"
The merchant suddenly felt a rush of anger towards his head, and said with a voice: "Gambling! Gambling! There is nothing to dare!" After he paused, he said again, "But if I bet on the Virgin of Baiyue, you Who else to bet? Can't you bet on seven Dayu girls at once?" He squinted at the teenager, his mouth taunting.
"My son never takes advantage of others." The young man smiled with his eyes bent and took out a silver ticket from his arms. "" He said that he had brought in the shopkeeper and asked him to give a testimony.
The trader looked dumbfounded when he looked at the five hundred and two silver tickets.He is a small businessman, and earning five hundred two a year is already a good time for business. This young man's one shot is five hundred two, making him really...
The trader swallowed a bit and retreated, and the young boy's smiling eyes suddenly became sharp, provocatively saying, "This uncle, but are you afraid? Regret?"
According to the young man, the eyes of the big Yu people around him seemed to pierce the merchant's body like an arrow, each with a contemptuous hair, as if to say, the barbarians were barbarians.
Woo!
A wicked fire suddenly broke out in his heart. He angrily took out five hundred and two silver tickets and shot the case: "Gambling!"
The teenager suddenly laughed again. At this moment, a flat male voice urged impatiently outside the door: "Fu Yunhe, what are you doing here? Had a quick start than the test!"
"Come! Coming!" The teenager hurried away, giving the shopkeeper a wink, meaning: Witness, everything will be yours.
The diners in the restaurant couldn't help but look at each other, for a while, the man named Hong said: "That son is called Fu Yunhe...I remember the palace of Yongchang, the prince is Fu?"
"Yes," the thin middle-aged man nodded.
The trader was already sweating heavily, and he said, "Why not? Then, is he gambled to win? Or lose?"
It seems that no matter whether he wins or loses, he has offended the rich man!
On the other side, after Fu Yunhe left the Yunsheng Restaurant, he heard Tian Lianhe complaining angrily: "If you are late, you will all blame you! Can you have a snack with your sister?"
Tian Lianhe murmured aside, Fu Yunhe was absent-minded, just thinking: what should I do to earn more than five hundred two? The longer the little gray in the elder brother's family is, the better his eyes are, or he will also get it. Raising an eagle?
Until they came to the horse farm of Guozijian, Tian Lianhe finally stopped.
At this moment, the racecourse has been completely renovated, and several huge tents have been temporarily set up for the emperor and other observers.
The two heard that the Empress had arrived and hurried to the big account in the middle to salute.
The emperor was full of thoughts about the next royal match, and after giving the seat, he ignored them.
On the other hand, Yuncheng stared at the two seriously. That tone seemed to say, your own sister entered the competition, so late?
The two teenagers could only try to confuse them with a hippie smile, but fortunately, the movement of the entrance to the racecourse attracted everyone's attention, and also allowed the two to escape, and fart to the big brother Xiao Yi.
At the entrance of the racecourse, three blue-haired girls brought the eight girls who participated today into the racecourse. Each girl wore a heroic riding outfit and stepped on neat riding boots.
Although the girls are dressed in similar dresses, the most striking one is the dressing. The exotic style of her body that is different from the Dayu woman makes her stand out like a standing flock no matter where she stands.
On weekdays, the dress is always dressed in a white gauze skirt.Today, for the purpose of the Royal Race, she deliberately changed to a white riding suit.Her riding suit is slightly different from the style of Dayu.The outer cover is a knee-length white yarn. The clothes, tied with a silver belt around the waist, when walking, the light and fluffy gauze skirt danced against the wind, and the belt hunting and fluttering, it seemed a little more soft.
"See the emperor!"
"See His Majesty Emperor Dayu!"
Seven Dayu girls bowed their knees to the emperor together with the dress.
The emperor waved his hand, beckoning them to be courteous.
The incense sticking in the side of the furnace is about to burn out, which also means that the test is about to start. The observers in the other tents have already waited for it, but they dare not make noise.Today's contest is really too important. If you accidentally anger Long Yan, you are asking for trouble.
Mrs. Jiu Ji took a deep breath and began to announce aloud today's comparison process and rules:
Various barriers have been set up in today's stadium. The participating horses must leap over the barriers. If they detour, they will be deemed to abstain and the winner will be the first to reach the finish line.The eight girls participating in the competition will be divided into two groups for a preliminary match, and then four girls will be selected from the two preliminary matches to compete for the finals.
"Why is it so complicated!" The emperor frowned, saying impatiently, "It is still a one-time decision in my opinion."
Listening to the emperor's tone, it seemed that he was impatient and waited for the three competitions, but it made the people who heard it commotion and whispered to his ears.
The process of designing the Royal Race is so complicated that there are historical reasons for it.
In a Jinxin meeting more than fifty years ago, in the final royal competition, several participating girls formed a party and ran privately, and there was a great conflict in the competition.Finally, four horses collided with each other and one horse was Obstacle railings collapsed, the girls suffered three injuries and one death, and the Jinxin Club did not hold the Royal Tournament in the next few years.
Although this matter is not well-known to everyone, the Dayu nobles and aristocrats who are concerned about Jinxin are naturally aware of it, and the emperor will not know it!
The emperor’s intentions are already obvious. This competition is seven-to-one. He only needs to sacrifice a few of them to drag the dress, then no matter who is the winner, Dayu wins.
It's just that this method is blunt, it is really disgraceful...
The observers responded differently, but no one questioned the emperor's orders. Although he did not know the history of Jinxinhui, he understood that the new rules were not good for himself.
She stood calmly and calmly. The blue eyes were clearer than the blue sky above, and she had full confidence.
Their Baiyue girls grew up on horseback when they were young, and the so-called goalkeepers of Dayu are worthless in her eyes.Putting on clothes believes that in front of his overwhelming strength, no matter what tricks Dayu wants to play, it is nothing more than a game of clown jumping.
There was a sneer in the corner of her mouth under the veil, just about to respond, but the glare of the corner of her eyes glanced at a girl in red on her left and took a step. .
The girl in red was Fu Yunyan, who braved the emperor bravely and said loudly: "The emperor, the forgiveness of the courtiers said boldly that the imperial match is an obstacle race on the ground, which is inherently dangerous. On the way, it is inevitable that there are girls who have scruples in mind, how to reflect their true riding skills!"
Her tone of voice was powerful, her words were eloquent, and the face of the little goose egg was awe-inspiring.
There was a trace of surprise in dressing, but Fu Yunhe wanted to sigh when he heard it, shaking his head and whispering, "It's really what my silly sister would say..."
His voice was extremely low, but Nangong Xin on the side heard it at his ears, looked at Fu Yunhe in an instant, and said seriously: "Little Hezi, Liu Niang is not stupid!"
Fu Yunhe was ashamed by his pure water-like eyes.
At this time, the official language was white, and the voice made people like Mu Chunfeng said: "Fu Liuqiang has a pure mind and a righteous spirit. It really has the style of my goalkeeper."
The official language Bai Na was the object of how many young children in Wangdu looked up, and the children of others in the mouth of the elders. When he said this, Fu Yunhe immediately sat in danger, as if he was facing an elder, a gentleman.After thanking the other party for his praises, he thought to himself: When Liu Niang knew that the official language was boasting her, I was afraid that she would be so happy that she could not sleep all night.
Putting on clothes also looks to the official language in white, and the azure eyes ripple like water waves.
After the Jinxin meeting on that day, the garb had tried to explore the Anhou Hou before he learned that he was the hero of war, and the official language was undefeated on the battlefield! Unexpectedly, the rumor was brave and good. Bai's official language is so elegant.Emperor Dayu had such wisdom that he would not know how to make good use of it. Instead, he slapped his family and allowed him to spend his time in the capital.
Pingyi knew that she had come to Dayu for the purpose of being close to her, and for the purpose of making a close relationship, she knew that...he could not help thinking, and the kind of relationship did not necessarily have to be the clan of the prince.If the official language Bai can get Baiyue for them, then Baiyue will surely be more powerful, and it will be just around the corner.
Placing her clothes on her lower lip, her heart shook.She once thought that fish and bear's paw can't have both. Now that she is well prepared for Baiyue's sacrifice, she shouldn't expect anything else... But what if you can have both?
Xingyi has great confidence in her appearance and talents. The official Bai is also a man, and she has not married so far. She does not believe that she will not win him.
The emperor hadn't spoken for a long time, and the people around him gradually became nervous with his silence, lest Fu Yunyan's remarks would anger Long Yan.
The emperor looked at Fu Yunyan immediately, and his deep eyes narrowed slightly.If ordinary people saw the emperor's face and eyes, he was afraid to kneel down, but Fu Yunyan still looked directly at the emperor without shrinking, his eyes clear. magnanimous.
The emperor suddenly turned his face and said to the cold-sweating lady, who said: "Miss Fu Liu also made some sense, then follow the original rules."
"Yes, the emperor." The wife of Ji Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said: Fortunately, this Jinxin will only be once every three years, otherwise she will have a short life sooner or later.
At this time, the incense on the side of the furnace was burned out long ago.Before the competition started, it was a tea late.It always made people feel that the start was not smooth.Many people already vaguely felt that this day would be Make waves again.
The eight girls quickly selected the group for the first preliminaries. Four of them rode on their respective horses and arrived at the starting point first, forming a line.
"Boom!"
When the gong sounded, four horses flew out at the same time. The first one was Fu Yunyan in a red riding suit. With the red horse under her hips, one person and one horse looked like a red lightning and dazzling.
Until now, the emperor's eyes finally got a smile on his face.Fortunately, the six aunts of the aunt's family were bold and did not disappoint him.
Fu Yunyan urged the horse to run a few tens of feet, and a railing two or three feet high stopped in front of her.
Obstacle test is the match between rider and horse, and she and her red cloud are together every day, no one can exceed their intimacy and familiarity.
Fu Yunyan smiled confidently, adjusted his posture in accordance with the horse's movements, and then the red horse leapt up and easily jumped over the obstacle...
As if it wasn't a snap, the first group of the first preliminaries was over. Fu Yunyan won the first place in this group with an undisputed advantage.
Then the second group came on. Unsurprisingly, the dress-up easily won.
Looking at her skillful and relaxed horsemanship, the people around him felt that today's Royal Race, it was not so easy for Dayu to win.
The competition was carried out in an orderly manner in the arrangement of the wine-sacrifice lady. After a half-hour break, the official finals had finally begun.
The four girls who participated in the finals were Fu Yunyan, Baiyi, Tian Tian from Zhenbei General's Mansion and Wei Qi from General Qi's General Mansion.The four girls and their horses quickly stood at the starting point.
There was silence in the audience, leaving only the rustling sound of summer wind blowing on the leaves, and the occasional cicadas.All eyes were focused on the four girls, and the figure on the horse was so tightly stretched like a tight bowstring.
Even the domestic attendant, who was in charge of giving orders, was a little nervous, and only felt the palm of his hand holding a mallet sweating.
He cleared his throat, shouted first, and then counted down from the "three". When the last "one" fell, he thumped the gongs and drums.
The four horses suddenly rushed out like arrows, which is very different from the previous preliminaries.
The warm summer wind blows face-to-face on the tender cheeks of the girls. During the gallop, the mild summer wind like a knife scrapes their skin, making them feel pain on their faces, and their dresses are hunted by the wind. ring.
After crossing the two barrier rails, the gap between the girls became apparent. First, Tian Tian fell behind by a horse body, followed by Wei Girl, also fell behind by half a horse body, only Fu Yunyan went side by side with the clothes.
After halfway through the run, the distance between the front and back was widened. Obviously, the leader must choose between Fu Yunyan and the sling.
But the horses of the two are almost in parallel, and the slight difference may become difficult to judge the outcome, maybe this game will be a draw.
In fact, everyone knows that the advantage is still in Dayu.After all, Dayu is stronger and Baiyue is weaker, and Dayu is the master of Baiyueke.If the emperor and the people present insist that Fu Yunyan wins with a weak advantage, What about Baiyue?
At this point, why don't you understand!
She knew she had to win with an undisputed advantage.
Her eyes flashed slightly, and she quickly had a resolution in her heart. She untied the silver belt on her waist and grabbed one in her hand.
It turned out that the belt was actually a thin silver whip.
She silently waited for the opportunity until the two leaped past the last obstacle at the same time, she covered her movements by Fu Yunyan's body, and her left hand suddenly shot.
"Swoosh!"
The silver whip threw a whip at Fu Yunyan's red horse's right front leg like a poisonous snake...
She knows that when the horse is in pain, she will raise her two front legs high, so the speed will naturally slow down, even if it is only for a moment, then she will win!
But he didn't want to. The silver whip that broke out of the air was caught by the backhand without being seen.
The pupils of the dressing shrunk.She thought that Dayu's women's martial arts were all flower fist embroidering legs.There was such a nimble girl before they arrived!
She immediately noticed that the other party's right hand grabbed her silver whip, and the horse rein fell down...
Between the electric light and the flint, the clothes were put on the heart and pulled back suddenly, trying to pull Fu Yunyan from the horse.
Fu Yunyan's body leaned back slightly and seemed to be falling down... her subtle movement immediately attracted Nangong Xin and Fu Yunhe's attention. They could not see the silver whip from their angle, but they could see Fu Yunyan They all took a breath of air, stood up, and exclaimed together, "Liu Niang!"
At the next moment, Fu Yunyan had already hooked his stirrup with his feet, and he was suffocated, and he was seated again.
Fu Yunyan thought that he was not a soft persimmon who complained with virtue.The swinger let go of the silver whip with the fastest speed, but didn't want the other party's wrist to twist somehow, then it changed from "pull" to "swing", and the silver whip was thrown hard on the white horse under the swing hip on.
The white horse raised his head and made a painful hiss, raised his two front legs, and the horseshoes emptied. Fortunately, he swayed the horse and ridden his horse. She drove past her like lightning, and immediately advanced a horse.
Experts overcoming tricks, the difference is very small, the fall is thousands of miles.
The outcome is fixed!
At this time, all the observers in the tent stood up and gave warm applause for a long time.
The dressing quickly stabilized the horse and continued to steer the horse, but the speed slowed down and the heart was choppy.
She actually lost!
The clothes put on his teeth in disbelief, his hands clenched into fists.
For the first time, the beautiful face lost its usual calmness.
She has always been very confident, almost ninety-nine is sure that she can win! She killed Fu Yunyan halfway through Cheng Bitjin...
A flash of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he could only bear it.
After riding the finish line, Fu Yunyan didn't rush to dismount, but drove to the emperor's tent before jumping.
Nangong Xin and Fu Yunhe all hurried up, but Fu Yunhe was just saying it at the exit: "Liu Niang, you really scared me!"
Fu Yunyan raised his chin and looked at the dress with a little pride. The flaming eyes of war seemed to say: Even if you play more conspiracies, don't want to succeed in front of me!
Placing her clothes understood the meaning in her eyes, and the fist hidden in the sleeve could not help but clenched tightly.
Everyone laughed Yan Yan and came to congratulate Fu Yunyan one by one.
The emperor Longyan was overjoyed and didn't care about any manners and etiquette anymore.He looked at Fu Yunyan with a smile, and said: Their bloodline of Han family is indeed extraordinary! Style!
The emperor was very fond of Fu Yunyan's niece in the weekdays.Now she wins glory for Dayu and long face of the royal family.Naturally, she is more gracious, and she secretly thought: Anyway, Liu Niang also ordered a kiss. Uncle simply gave her a title as a dowry? The little aunt would be happy.
After a while, the swinger also dismounted and walked to the tent. The veil covered most of her face, but she couldn't hide the frustration in her eyes.
Han Lingfu looked at the dress with some complexity, and a trace of pity flashed in his heart.A woman like her is unparalleled in the world.However, how can it be easy to win four top prizes in Jinxin!
The emperor was in a good mood, even looking at the dressing, and calmed down a lot. After clearing his throat, he said loudly: "The lady really opened my eyes to books, paintings, chess, poetry, and imperialism. It doesn't work, but it's a bit like my Dayu Jinxin met the five princes, Mrs. Qing."
The emperor specially named the "Mrs. Qing", only telling her that she won several top prizes at the Jinxin meeting, not only she was Baiyue posing.
She hated it in her clothes. She was taught by the famous teacher of Dayu since she was a child. Of course, she also heard of "Mrs. Qing". In front of such a talented and strange woman, she lost to Nangong Yue, Bai Muxiao and Fu Yunyan in succession. , Naturally small is nothing.Pingyi originally thought that she could show off her style at the Jinxin meeting, but she didn't expect it, but it fell so far.
Just lose yourself, but what should you do, His Royal Highness?
If the high prince knew that he had lost, he would certainly not spare him.
Shaking her clothes shivered, her heart was horrified, and her charming face under the veil was white.
She has to find a way to make up for it!
After the clothes were settled, he stepped forward casually and proceeded with the rituals of Dayu: "The emperor is ridiculous. The clothes were lost today and he was convinced by mouth! Daoyu is indeed a talented man. King Shizi of Zhennan , Bai Mai, and Fu Fu, let the pendulum sigh to herself, beyond her reach." While speaking, her thoughts moved quickly, her lips slightly bent, and she said to the emperor, "However, the pendulum is the most admired. It is still the official Houhou who said a word in the endgame on that day, and he has been obsessed with chess since he was young. Could you ask your emperor Dayu to allow the official Houhou to give instructions on the clothes?"
The emperor didn't think much. Today, Liu Niang's victory made him in a good mood. He greeted the official language Bai and said: "An Yihou, would you like to give pointers?"
The official language is a few steps above the white, with a familiar smile on the corner of his lips, saying: "There is a game of Go in the world, or saying that it is a soldier's family or the like. The person who plays chess in good chess is'art, character, reason The way of "rule, ritual, etiquette", but for Weichen, it is connected with the art of war. Although the saint is good at chess, she is only a woman.
When she put on her clothes, her face stiffened, she thought that the official language Bai would respond to the situation, but did not expect... he refused?
