There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 621 Losing in Embarrassment (Part [-])
Others took a look at the two teams and placed bets.

Some voted more, some voted less.

Crowded.

Ximen Fei led the horse team and walked at the front of the team.

He saw a lot of people pointing and laughing at his cavalry, and mocking him, he couldn't help sneering in his heart, waiting for a slap in the face!
His subordinates, Ximen Fei, have never been soft-hearted!

Two teams of men and horses lined up left and right.

The main generals are the two princes, and the deputy general is the team leader.

Zhao Cong's lieutenant is Ximen Fei, and Zhao Jiu's lieutenant is a military sergeant arranged by Qin Hui.

Two people, two temperaments.

Zhao Jiu's troops looked like soldiers at first glance.

Zhao Cong's men look like mobs.

Comparing the two, everyone laughed even more.

"Your Majesty, Enping has worked hard. Look at the people behind him, how energetic they are." Empress Wu said to Gaozong with a smile.

"Well, it's really spirited." Gao Zong said with a smile.

"Hengyang Gong, what do you think?" Queen Mother Wei asked Hengyang Gong with a smile.

She knew that Duke Hengyang was very concerned about Zhao Cong because of Li Jiaoniang's relationship.

But before Duke Hengyang woke up, he was not very close to any of the Zong's children.

Although Zhao Cong won the first round, he will obviously lose the third round.

Empress Dowager Wei couldn't help feeling complacent, and attacked the ignorant Duke of Hengyang.

How could Duke Hengyang fail to understand her thoughts?
He smiled faintly, "That's right, the spirit is the spirit, but it's just looking at the spirit."

The implication is that the fancy is not useful.

A pink and white chimney.

Empress Dowager Wei was so angry that her face turned blue.

However, Duke Hengyang was of a high seniority, so she didn't dare to do anything to Duke Hengyang, so she turned her head away angrily, and stopped talking.

On the field, Lu You talked about the rules of the competition.

Everyone listened with breath.

This time it is a military test, and there are three rules in total.

First, the two princes fought alone.

Then there is the whole team performing formations, and finally there is a collective fighting between the two teams.

This is a real knife and a gun, and there is no room for adulteration.

Everyone in the stands held their breath to look inside the arena.

Zhao Cong and Zhao Jiu have already put on their armor.

Zhao Cong is dressed in a crimson robe, black armor, a black mount, and a Qingyue sword.

Zhao Jiu is a white robe with silver armor, a big maroon horse, and a long spear.

When the two were not fighting, they looked majestic.

But as soon as the fight started, Zhao Cong only picked up the long knife in his hand for the third time, then picked up Zhao Jiu's belt, and picked him off the horse.

There was an uproar.

Gao Zong smiled and nodded.

Empress Dowager Wei's face, which was still full of smiles just now, suddenly turned pale.

Empress Wu was so frightened that she twisted her veil, "Don't worry, ma'am, this is just the beginning. There is still archery, and the archery skills of the King of Enping can hit every shot, and you won't lose." The maid comforted Wu. Queen.

Empress Wu glanced at the maid, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.

She is the aunt of the two princes, and she has done too much in favor of one of them, fearing that people will criticize her.

Empress Wu glanced at the maid indifferently, "Whoever loses wins, aren't they all my sons?"

The palace maid was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was talking too much, she quickly lowered her head, "Yes, what the empress said is very true."

A small victory at the beginning.

Those who supported Zhao Cong all cheered.

Those who bet on Zhao Cong's side became nervous.

"It's nothing special, there will be a competition later." They said in a dazed manner, comforting themselves.

Li Jiaoniang also nodded in satisfaction.

Luo Cheng was looking at Zhao Cong's saber technique, and said, "This saber technique was taught by Ximen Fei. He learned it quickly."

Li Jiaoniang blinked, and asked in surprise, "Ximen Fei taught it? When did it happen?"

Ximen Fei lost several matches with Zhao Cong. It is really rare that he is willing to teach Zhao Cong.

Because he was too proud, thinking that teaching the winner after losing was taunting him.

"I taught it yesterday." Luo Cheng smiled and said, "Actually, it's not really a teaching. Cong'er said that he was worried that Qingyue's horse was not good enough. After being overheard by Ximen Fei, he picked up the long knife and started playing with it. When you see it, you learn it.”

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "So that's the case."

One secretly teaches while the other secretly learns, which is not regarded as apprenticeship.

Zhao Jiu was picked off the horse, hurt his butt from the fall, sat on the ground and burst into tears.

Now, those who supported Zhao Cong couldn't help laughing.

Qin Hui and Master Mu both covered their foreheads with their hands, unable to see.

Gao Zong scolded with a cold face, "If you lose, you will cry. You have no ambition at all. Get up!"

His furious voice frightened everyone so much that they dared not laugh.

If you want to laugh, you hold it back.

Zhao Jiu didn't dare to cry anymore, and hurriedly got up from the ground.

"The first competition is about to take place, the king of Pu'an County wins!" Lu You, an official from the Ministry of Rites, said loudly.

Next, it is a competition of personal archery.

Whether it is standing still archery, or shooting at the target on horseback, it is still Zhao Congsheng.

Zhao Jiu cried more anxiously now.

Qin Hui couldn't stand it anymore, called him to him, and reprimanded him repeatedly, "It's just a loss, why are you crying? The competition is not over yet!"

Zhao Jiu sniffed and sighed, "Prime Minister, I think I will lose in the next competition."

"If you lose your morale before the competition, do you still have the demeanor of a prince?" Qin Hui gritted his teeth angrily and shouted.

His voice was so severe that Zhao Jiu was so frightened that chills ran from his back to his forehead.

Qin Hui said coldly, "Do your best to compete, even if you lose, the truth will protect you as the crown prince!"

Zhao Jiu blinked tears, "Can I become the prince if I lose? But everyone said that if I lose, I have no chance."

Qin Hui said coldly, "Yes, the truth is kept in the court, and words still have some weight."

This, Zhao Jiu believed.

Qin Hui's ability is unmatched by anyone in the Song Dynasty, and even the Jin people are afraid of him.

Zhao Jiu didn't worry anymore.

He wiped away his tears and nodded earnestly, "Understood, Prime Minister, I will definitely give it a try!"

"Okay, now you look like a prince!" Qin Hui patted Zhao Jiu's shoulder.

Zhao Jiu raised his head, walked back to the competition field with big strides.

Still, he didn't win.

No matter whether it was setting up an formation or fighting as a whole team, Zhao Cong's team looked like a mob, but they were all alive and well, and when they fought, everyone seemed desperate.

He beat Zhao Jiu's men to pieces, and most of them were thrown off their horses.

Zhao Shicheng smiled slightly, and looked at the bettor next to him, "Second Master Mu, I am willing to accept the bet."

He stretched out his hand nonchalantly.

Well, this thousand coins can be used to make a new pair of jewelry for Wanwan.

The second son Mu gritted his teeth angrily, and scolded Zhao Jiu for being an idiot in his heart, causing him to lose money.

"No, that Cheng Enbo, it's just a joke, how can there be a lottery?" The three brothers of the Mu family are well-known, and each one is thicker than the other.

Zhao Shicheng didn't buy into his account, "Sitting on your right is Dali Siqing, should we discuss with him? Just now when you and I made a bet, he even took a look here."

Second Young Master Mu looked to the right.

Isn't that right, the rows on the right are full of officials from the court.

In front of the Minister of Dali Temple, there is still a doctor who is an imperial envoy.

What a bad day.

Second Master Mu gritted his teeth angrily.

He had no choice but to take out the one thousand guan money and give it to Zhao Shicheng.

……

Zhao Cong won a complete victory. After the competition, although Gaozong did not say that he would make Zhao Cong the crown prince, he rewarded him with many items.

He also chose two highly respected veterans to be Zhao Cong's masters.

And Zhao Jiu's wife has never been specially appointed.

It goes without saying that Gaozong wanted to focus on training Zhao Cong.

……

To celebrate Zhao Cong's victory, Luo Cheng and Li Jiaoniang held a banquet in Liuyuan.

They invited Zhao Shicheng, Duke Hengyang, and Zhao Gui.

Originally, Lu You was also invited, but Lu You said he had something to do, so he didn't come.

Luo Cheng ordered food and wine from restaurants in the city, and when he learned that Liuyueyuan ordered the dishes, the chefs were able to cook them at half the speed.

In the past, when they talked about Zhao Cong, they would say that he was the younger brother of Xuande Lang and the adopted son of Luo Cheng, the son of Princess Chengyang.The Liuyuan is the residence of Princess Chengyang.

But after Zhao Cong's victory today, when everyone mentioned Liuyue Garden, they immediately thought that this was the home of the prospective prince's adoptive father.

This may be a snub.

The owner of the restaurant personally brought the cook and staff, and brought the dishes into the Liuyue Garden.

The garden was having a lively meal, when a servant guarding the gate came to the main hall to report.

"Eldest lady, there is a woman who claims to be a nanny in the palace, and wants to see the eldest lady."

Li Jiaoniang narrowed her eyes, "Nurse in the palace? Which palace?"

The servant said, "She said she was the nun next to Miss Li in Chunxi Court."

Beauty Li?Li Peiyu?
Li Jiaoniang smiled in her heart, what tricks did she want to do?
"Ask her to go to the little flower hall next to the main hall, and I'll be there soon."
