Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 22 There is no silver 300 taels here

Before he came to the front, a tall maroon horse drove out from the side.

The horseshoe stepped in front of Su Xi, walked a few steps, and stopped firmly beside the stands.The man on horseback was dressed in a sky-blue woven golden persimmon stalk pattern costume, with a sandalwood sachet and jade lotus leaf and fish pendant hanging from his waist. His body was like bamboo and his body was like a jade tree.

The girl in front of the stands softened her voice, couldn't help it, and quietly glanced at it from the corner of her eye.

Wei Yan got off the horse, handed the whip to the servants at the side, and walked towards Lord Wanping.

Wearing a red narrow-sleeved Hu suit and a pair of air-permeable soft boots, Mrs. Wanping was neatly dressed and was stroking her beloved white horse.Seeing Wei Feng approaching, Mrs. Wanping stopped his movements, stepped forward happily and said, "Cousin."

Wei Yan said: "I heard that you are going to have a horse riding competition with the daughter of General Weiyuan?"

"Exactly." Wanping Weng's patron Gu Heli proudly admitted, turned around and brought Bai Rong over, asking Wei Feng to look at it for him, "What do you think of my horse? I bought it from Mobei" , I heard that she can travel thousands of miles a day, let alone Lu Chi's daughter, even if she wins your hard-earned horse, I don't think it will be a problem."

Wei Yan's face remained unchanged, and he said: "Lu Chi has experienced many battles and is famous for riding and shooting. Naturally, his sons and daughters are no problem. You may not be able to win this competition."

Gu Heli thought he could hear a few words of encouragement from Wei Feng, but he didn't expect that he came to beat him, so he became a little unhappy at the moment, and pouted: "My riding skills are even praised by His Majesty, Since my cousin is not here to cheer me up, but to pour cold water on me, you can stand somewhere else. Once you come here, you will feel uneasy, and it will disturb me to play with peace of mind." The gazes from the stands were too hot .

Wei Yan slightly lifted his lips, and said with a smile, "I just remind you not to underestimate the enemy."

Gu Heli didn't appreciate it, and urged him to leave quickly.

At this moment, there was a change from the other side of the racecourse.

One person and one rider rushed into the racecourse. The horse was obviously frightened, and it was not under the control of the man on the horse, and rushed straight towards the stands.The girls in the stands turned pale and backed away one after another. They were about to hit the stands. Fortunately, the man on the horse was skilled in riding, so he tightened the reins at the last moment and forced the horse to stop.

The man leaned over on the horse's back and gently stroked the horse's head with his palm. After a while, the horse stopped being agitated and became quiet.

The man straightened up and wanted to apologize to the girls in the stands, but when he turned his gaze, he was stunned.

Su Xi was standing in front of the stands, and when the horse lost control, it narrowly passed under her nose and lifted the veil off her head.At this moment, her small face was pale, her eyes were wide open, and she had an expression of lingering fear, and there were small, crystal clear teardrops hanging on her long eyelashes, like a handful of stars sprinkled into a lake, dazzling .

For a moment, Lu Jianghuai thought that there was nothing more beautiful than her eyes in this world.

Su Xi was terrified, took half a step back, lowered her head and wiped her tears with her fingers, if Tang Wan hadn't been pulling her aside, she would have been so weak that she would have sat on the ground by now.

Lu Jianghuai jumped off the horse, walked up to Su Xi, his Adam's apple rolled, and said presumptuously, "Girl, are you okay? Did it hurt you?"

Lu Huishu hurriedly rode up to catch up. Seeing the situation here, she asked in surprise, "Brother, did you hurt someone?" As she spoke, she jumped off the horse, picked up Su Xi's dropped veil from the ground, and returned it to Su Xi. In Xi's hand, "Girl, is this your thing? I'm really sorry, this horse doesn't know what's going on, it suddenly went crazy, my brother is trying to subdue it, did it hurt you..."

Lu Huishu is the daughter of General Weiyuan. She is tall and tall, with all her hair tied up on the top of her head. At first glance, she looks heroic and handsome, she looks a bit like a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old.

This horse was the one that Lv Huishu rode during the competition with Master Wanping. When Lv Huishu was feeding it fodder, it suddenly neighed, spread its hooves and started galloping.The horse has always been gentle and rarely exhibits such abnormal behavior.

Both brothers and sisters apologized in this way, so Su Xi naturally can't blame others anymore, although she was really scared just now, if Lu Jianghuai didn't control the direction well, then the horseshoe might step on her head.She shook her head and said, "I'm fine, just sit aside for a while."

Su Xi took the veiled hat and was about to put it back on her head when a voice next to her asked incredulously, "...Sister Xi?"

Su Xi looked over and saw Yin Qiqi standing a few steps away, her face full of surprise and uncertainty.

Su Xi curled her lips and smiled slightly: "Sister Qi."

It turned out to be really... Yin Qiqi looked at the little girl in front of her in a daze. In her impression, Su Xi had always been round and chubby. Because of her delicate facial features, everyone thought she was cute, but when she was about ten years old No matter how fat she is, she doesn't look as good-looking as she did when she was a child, so she and Yin Pengpeng don't like to play with her very much.

But who would have thought that the old chubby dumpling would be so amazingly beautiful when it grows up?Not only has his figure become slimmer, but his facial features have also grown. His skin is as white as snow, and his body is icy and muscular, which can melt anytime under the sun.

Yin Qiqi suddenly remembered a sentence——

The beautiful eyes are trickling, containing a pool of autumn water; the face is bright, with a few degrees of breeze.

With such an appearance, two years later, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she will be the best of the country.

Yin Pengpeng also came over, with his mouth wide open: "Are you really Sister Xi? You, don't lie to us..." After looking at Su Xi carefully, he muttered, "Sister Xi has a small mole on her ear, Do you have it?" As he spoke, he leaned over and saw that there really was one.

Now Yin Pengpeng is silent.

Fu Yi was the calmest among them, and asked with a smile: "It's been a while since I saw Sister Xi. I didn't expect such a big change. I don't know what you're busy with these days. I invited you several times before, but you didn't come in the end. "

Su Xi looked at Fu Yi, blinked her eyes, and explained: "Sister Yi knows that my grandfather was ill a while ago, and I have been taking care of him at home for the past two years, and I am a little nervous about ethnology, so I don't care about it." Come out, sister Yi won't blame me, will she?"

Fu Yi said: "How can I blame you for what sister Xi said? I don't know how General Su is now, but is he better?"

Su Xi pursed her lips and said, "It's all over now, thank you sister Yi for your concern."

The two spoke a few more words, and Fu Yi invited Su Xi to sit in the middle of the stands. This position is very suitable for watching the game for a while.Su Xi actually wanted to sit down very much, she couldn't recover from the shock just now, but she hadn't seen Fu Yi and the others for a long time, and she had a lot to say.

"Brother, why don't you leave?" Seeing that her brother didn't respond for a long time, Lu Huishu asked on horseback.

Lu Jianghuai suddenly came back to his senses, a trace of imperceptible red flashed across his face, he quickly got on his horse, coughed and said, "Drive!"

Lu Huishu held the reins, smiled at Su Xi before leaving, and said, "I'll apologize to you when I finish the match with Weng Lord Wanping."

Before Su Xi could say no, the brother and sister had already rode away.

On this side, Master Wanping watched the horse being subdued, his face darkened, and he hummed lightly: "It's really lucky."

After finishing speaking, seeing Wei Yan standing on one side and still not leaving, he asked suspiciously: "Cousin, didn't you just leave?"

Wei Yan withdrew his gaze, looked at Gu Heli, and asked, "Did you tamper with that horse?" Although it was a question, his tone was very certain.

Gu Heli turned his head, raised his chin and said, "It's just a little medicine, to dampen Lu Huishu's spirit, who knew he would be discovered so soon." In terms of riding skills, Gu Heli thought he would not lose, but Since the people below came up with this idea, she didn't stop it.

Wei Yan's voice was faint, unable to detect emotion: "Don't do this kind of thing again next time."

Gu Heli thought that Wei Wei was only referring to the horse being out of control, so he responded disapprovingly, and said: "Didn't it hurt anyone? That Lu Jianghuai is quite capable. He dared to go up to appease the horse even if it was out of control. I have won against Lu Huishu, and I have to compete with him..." Before he finished speaking, he turned his head and saw that Wei Yan had already left on horseback.

Gu Heli curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and led the horse to the racecourse.

Su Xi was sitting in the stands, with Tang Wan on the left and Yu Baozhang on the right.Yu Baozhang came late, she came only after the horse riding competition started, she was taken aback when she saw Su Xi, and then cast Tang Wan a "who is this" look.

When Tang Wan said the word "Youyou", Yu Baozhang pursed his lips in disbelief, thinking that Tang Wan was lying to himself.

It wasn't until Su Xi pulled her sleeves and raised her head and called "Sister Yu", the voice was exactly the same as before, that Yu Baozhang was willing to believe that she was Su Xi.

Right now, the three of them are sitting together, watching the match between Weng Lord Wanping and Lu Huishu, while talking intimately.

Lu Huishu changed into a brown steed, which was a bit inferior to Weng Lord Wanping's white horse.It's just that Lu Huishu is the daughter of General Weiyuan after all, and she has excellent riding skills. At the beginning of the race, she was slightly behind Wengzhu Wanping. After running in the second half of the lap, she followed closely and quickly surpassed Wengzhu Wanping by half a lap. A horse body, has been to the finish line, won the game firmly.

Lu Huishu smiled and said, "My lord, do I still need to pick up horse manure for you?"

Master Wanping threw his whip angrily and gouged out Lu Huishu's eyes. "This game doesn't count, let's compete in another game!"

In the stands, maybe the horse twisted his foot when he was startled just now. Su Xi felt a faint pain in his ankle. It was not obvious at first, but now the pain became more and more severe.Seeing that Tang Wan and Yu Baozhang were watching the game with great interest, she didn't say anything to them, but said, "Sister Tang and Sister Yu, let's watch first, I'll go back and take a walk."

There was something urgent, so Tang Wan and Yu Baozhang nodded and agreed without thinking too much.

Su Xi left the stands and walked to the back of the racecourse.There is an octagonal pavilion at the back of the racecourse, surrounded by rockery ponds, with lush trees, much cooler than the stands.Su Xi led Ting Yan and Ting He for a few steps, and wanted to sit in the pavilion to see if their ankles were swollen, but before they got close, they saw two people standing in the pavilion from a distance.

One was Yin Qiqi who had left shortly after the horse riding competition started, and the other was facing her sideways. Su Xi looked at it, and it turned out to be Wei Wei.

Yin Qiqi lowered her head, her face blushed, she stretched out her hand and handed Wei Feng an embroidered lotus leaf pattern sachet.

Because Yin Qiqi was engaged to Wei Yan in her previous life, although it was still a year before their engagement, Su Xi didn't think it was strange when she saw this scene, instead she subconsciously hid aside, not wanting to be caught by the people in the pavilion. people found out.

Wei Yan didn't take Yin Qiqi's sachet, the distance was too far, Su Xi couldn't hear what they said.But seeing Wei Feng's expression was calm, even a little cold, he knew it must not be a good word, otherwise Yin Qiqi's face would not be pale again.

Yin Qiqi stood still for a while, tears rolled down her face, she turned around and ran away in shame and annoyance.

Su Xi had experienced Wei Feng's indifference and ruthlessness, but now she felt a little sympathetic to Yin Qiqi.After thinking about it, I felt strange, Wei Yan rejected Yin Qiqi at this time, why did he still get engaged to Yin Qiqi afterwards?

Su Xi was so lost in thought here that she didn't notice for a while, when she stepped on a piece of dead wood, she heard a clear and crisp sound in the silent air.

Wei Yan raised his eyes, looked this way calmly, and said, "Who?"

Su Xi hesitated for a moment, and obediently stood out from behind the tree. Seeing Wei Yan's eyes narrowed, she felt guilty, and immediately raised her hands to cover her eyes. There was no silver 300 taels here, and said, "I don't have anything. did not see it."
