The Crown Prince Chases His Wife

Chapter 33: strong horse

Western suburbs paddock.

The morning light, passing through the thin cold mist, casts a magnificent haze on the forest meadow.

On the racetrack, the bells and drums honked in unison, and the milling and pulling sounded at the same time.

The flags on the side of the field fluttered in the wind, hunting and making noises.

This is the second day of Qiu Xie. Today, there are sideshows such as competitions and horse racing. Let everyone warm up and officially start hunting tomorrow.

Opposite the stands is a circular arena, and at this moment there are two tall and burly warriors fighting with their bare hands.

Today, Emperor Hui in the stands looked very good. A concubine beside him was holding a wine jug, and from time to time, he added wine to Emperor Hui's cup.

Next to Emperor Hui was Ning Concubine, who had just entered the palace and was very fond of Emperor Hui. This time, among the concubines and concubines accompanying the Autumn Festival, in addition to one of the four concubines, Concubine Shu, that is, Concubine Ning.

Concubine Shu's seat was on the other side of Emperor Hui. She was sipping her wine, sometimes looking at the ring, and sometimes glancing at Ning Concubine slightly unhappy.

Oh, like Ning Concubine, a lot of people have come to the palace in recent years, but they are replaced in two months at most. Ning Concubine thought she was some kind of character, but they were all substitutes for that person, either with similar eyebrows and eyes, similar face shape, or similar demeanor.

Where does Ning Concubine look like this time?

Concubine Shu turned her head and looked at Ning Concubine's face, oh, that's it.

Our Majesty, do you mean passionate or dedicated?

The second prince who was seated next to Concubine Shu understood the concubine's reluctance today. In today's scene, Ning Concubine crossed her mother's concubine, and the seat was next to her father's throne. She was so close to her father in a large audience, and she didn't care about her mother's face. It was really indecent. .

The second prince Feng Xian would say a few words to Concubine Shu from time to time, or comment on the fight on the field, or discuss the weather and scenery. He wanted his mother concubine to be at ease. The mother concubine was different from Ning Concubine. Ning Concubine was just a plaything, and the mother concubine was one of the four concubines, not to mention, she still had herself.

Princess Changle Feng Yunchao looked at the field with a light expression. The left and right sides of her seats were still empty. Those were the prince's brother, Feng Yuyao, and Qin Yan.

The prince's brother is busy with official business, and where is Feng Yuyao?

------

At this moment, Feng Yuyao was in front of Qin Yan's camp and finally waited for Qin Yan who had just arrived in the paddock.

Qin Yan originally planned to stay in the tent to rest, and Feng Yuyao also knew that Qin Yan was not very lively, so she would not take the initiative to watch the game, but came to find people in person.

"Yanyan, you must go to the racecourse with me today. You are most familiar with the racecourse. Tell me more about it." Feng Yuyao was very curious about Qin Yan and Shen Ci's experiences in the Northwest. I also really want to be more integrated into Shen Ci's life.

Qin Yan understood Feng Yuyao's daughter's thoughts, and she was not disgusted by it. Except for being in the royal family, Yuyao is doing fine.

If Yuyao and Shen Ci can really come together, that's their fate.

Then Qin Yan agreed to go to the racetrack with Feng Yuyao.

Jiang Mu was also there. Of course, Shen Ying and Uncle Huai also went to accompany him.

------

After Xie Changyuan arranged the official business properly, he sat on the stand together with A Yan.

A Yan is very curious about various things in the paddock, and Xie Chang Yuan occasionally explained patiently for A Yan.

Although Xie Changyuan was a little displeased with A Yan looking for Xie Qing to bring her to the paddock, he quickly calmed down.

I also blame myself for avoiding A Yan for the past few days. If I don't want to bring her, I should tell her clearly.

A Yan is simple and kind, she has a simple mind, she is straight, she does not have so many twists and turns, and naturally it is easy to ignore some sensitive communication issues.

Xie Chang Yuan tenderly looked at A Yan who was looking around curiously. This girl had saved her life, and she was simply like a blank piece of paper, helpless and helpless. I should treat A Yan more kindly and protect A Yan.

Xie Changyuan couldn't help but look at the vacant seat beside Feng Yunchao. This was the first time today.

Qin Yan, she is so powerful, and with so many people protecting her, she can be domineering.

Today, is she not coming?

Not far from Xie Changyuan is Xie Qing. Xie Qing's mind is not in the ring. I heard that her elder brother Xie Zhao will be on duty at the Qiu Xie ceremony, but she has never been able to find her elder brother, and why has she been missing anyone.

------

When Qin Yan and Feng Yuyao came to the sidelines to take their seats, the fierce battle in the ring came to an end.

On the stage stood a burly and strong man, who was this year's martial artist Lin Zhong, who is now serving in the Beiya Imperial Army.

He has been on the field for several rounds, and he has knocked down six or seven challengers before.

Emperor Hui was very satisfied, and smiled at Xie Changyuan: "Zhang Yuan, your subordinates are very good and rewarded."

Xie Changyuan was also very satisfied with the outstanding performance of his subordinates today, and Lin Zhong gave the commander of the Beiya Imperial Army a face.

At this moment, Lin Zhong on the ring suddenly looked towards the stand, clasped his fists with both hands, bowed behind him, and said loudly in a thick voice, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen wants to ask for a favor."

At this moment, Emperor Hui was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Oh? Tell me about it."

Lin Zhong looked in the direction of Qin Yan, the master of Zhaoren County, and said, "Wei Chen wants to compete with the soldiers in the Pingxi Army, please ask the Holy Master for permission."

Everyone looked at Qin Yan, the master of Zhaoren County who had just entered the seat.

Today's Qin Yan is dressed in a brocade robe with narrow sleeves and a dark pattern of silver thread, and her hair is pulled up with a simple white jade hairpin.

Qin Yan heard the words, but his face remained calm.

The three generations of the Shen family were all involved in military affairs, so only Qin Yan came from the Pingxi Army.

Emperor Hui said to Qin Yan, "Master Zhaoren, is there anyone in the manor to fight?"

The emperor opened his mouth, not to fight is to resist the decree and disrespect.

Qin Yanfeng's eyes narrowed slightly.

Shen Ying said, "Master, I'll go."

At this time, Jiang Mu, who was in the seat next to him, turned to look at Qin Yan, and said in a relaxed tone, "Let me go, I haven't been active for a long time."

Qin Yan nodded.

With Qin Yan's instruction, Jiang Mu stood up, bowed to Emperor Hui, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Jiang Mu, the main mansion of Zhaoren County, will fight."

Huidi nodded.

Jiang Mu, let's see how Qin Yan taught him.

------

Today, Jiang Mu is wearing a cobalt blue dress with sleeves.

He got off the stand, walked straight to the edge of the ring, jumped up, and stood firmly on the ring.

Jiang Mu clenched his fists towards Lin.

"Jiang Mu, the main mansion of Zhaoren County, came to fight."

Lin Zhong clenched his fists and said, "Lin Zhong, please enlighten me."

After speaking, the two quickly fought.

The two people on the ring are very different in body and skill.

Lin Zhong was tall and burly with a strong physique. Jiang Mu was tall and tall, but he was a little thin in front of Lin Zhong.

Lin's gravity is infinite, and the arena will be shaken three times when his body moves. However, Jiang Mu, who was more agile, was a little more clumsy.

The external image of the two is very different, and their martial arts attainments have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Under the tussle between the two, they were evenly matched, and the two were still fighting on the stage after a stick of incense passed.

Both of them almost came out of the ring several times, and almost turned back.

The hearts of everyone in the stands were suspended and stabilized, and they continued to watch the game.

It was wonderful.

------

Qin Yan inadvertently swept to Emperor Hui's side. There were beauties beside Emperor Hui. Qin Yan looked at them with a sense of familiarity. He tried to recall, but there was no clue in his mind. You shouldn't know this person.

Aware of Qin Yan's inquiring gaze, Feng Yuyao also glanced in the direction of Emperor Hui and turned back.

"That's Ning Concubine, who has just entered the palace. She is just petting her. Look, Concubine Shu's face is dark." Feng Yuyao explained to Qin Yan.

Qin Yan didn't care.

------

Today Qin Ming has been waiting for Qin Nian to finish dressing up, but Qin Nian is too slow, Qin Ming stomped his feet anxiously, why is it so troublesome for a girl to go out. If it wasn't for her mother's repeated explanations to herself before she came to the paddock that she had to take care of each other with her sister, she would have waited for her long ago.

When Qin Ming and Qin Nian arrived at the racetrack, they saw Jiang Muzheng and a strong man fighting in the arena.

Qin Ming looked at the skills of the two in the ring, and opened his mouth, this... can he still challenge Jiang Mu?

------

Qin Nian and Qin Ming entered the final stand, where there were already a group of young masters and young ladies. When they saw Qin Nian and Qin Ming, they all gathered around to say hello.

Du Ling was sitting in the corner. She didn't keep her mouth shut on the Qianshui Lake painting boat last time and confessed to Qin Nian. Although Qin Nian rounded it up later, it still made the young masters and sisters headed by Qin Nian a little isolated.

But Du Ling was still the second daughter of the Minister of the Household, Du Fu, and her status was there. Although the young ladies of the official family were not too enthusiastic towards her, they still reluctantly hung out with her.

The seats in front are the two young ladies of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and the second son of the Zuo Prime Minister, Wang Jingyu. This gentleman, who was in the dandy circle in the capital, was also surrounded by a group of young ladies with deep backgrounds.

He Xiao, the eldest son of the Minister of War, was swinging a folding fan, and his seat was not far from Queen Jingyi, the eldest of the Zuo Prime Minister's House. Although the two were unmarried couples, there was no communication during the whole process.

After another incense stick, the battle was finally decided, and Jiang Mu narrowly won.

Lin Zhong, who was under the ring, clasped his fists at Jiang Mu and said, "I learned it."

Jiang Mu clenched his fists back.

Emperor Hui stroked his palm and said, "Okay, okay."

Jiang Mu had a hint of pride in his heart, and looked at Qin Yan on the stage as if asking for credit.

Qin Yan was still sipping his wine lightly, receiving Jiang Mu's persistent eyes, Qin Yan nodded helplessly.

The sergeant who presided over the competition beside the ring said: "Is there anyone who wants to challenge Jiang Shao?"

No answer.

Those who challenged Lin Zhong just now fell down, and Lin Zhong was defeated by Jiang Mu again, who would challenge Jiang Mu.

Moreover, not so many people have the courage to offend Zhaoren County's main mansion.

At this time, a young boy's voice suddenly came out: "I'm coming."

The voice came from the seat at the end of the stand, it was a young man in a crow blue riding suit.

The crowd looked for fame.

That is the son of the right minister Qin's house.

In previous years, Qin Ming was not qualified to enter the paddock. This year, Song Mei was brought up as his wife, so he and Qin Nian were also promoted to the sons and daughters.

Qin Nian grabbed Qin Ming's sleeve and said anxiously, "You're crazy, didn't you see the thrill of Jiang Shao's fight with that brawny guy? Don't make trouble, go back to father..."

Before Qin Nian could finish speaking, Qin Ming shook off Qin Nian's hand and said, "As a man, what is there to be afraid of?"

Qin Ming straightened his chest and looked in the direction of Qin Yan, the master of Zhaoren County.

However, Qin Yan was drinking tea at the moment, and seemed not to care about the situation on the field at all.

Qin Ming was not disappointed, he got off the stand, walked straight to the ring, and climbed up.

Standing opposite Jiang Mu, he said, "Jiang Mu, your opponent today is Qin Ming."

Jiang Mu stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the fool opposite him with a cold face, and said nothing.

When Qin Xun saw Jiang Mu's appearance again, his heart lit up again.

He turned his neck and moved his arms and legs. After warming up, he shouted "Ah" and rushed towards Jiang Mu.

There were already people in the stands covering their faces, unable to bear to look directly.

When Qin Ming was approaching, Jiang Mu raised his leg and kicked Qin Ming off the ring.

There was boos on the field.

Qin Nian in the stand immediately got up, quickly got off the stand, and ran towards Qin Ming.

Concubine Shu and the second prince also sent people to check on Qin Ming's situation.

Jiang Mu didn't make a heavy hand, and Qin Ming slowed down after a while. He rubbed his belly where he was kicked by Jiang Mu, still very proud.

Although his posture of getting off the ring was a bit embarrassing, when no one dared to challenge Jiang Mu, it was Qin Ming who stood up.

Qin Ming looked at Qin Yan on the stage.

Has the eldest sister seen my courage?

As Qin Ming wished, Qin Yan did look at him lightly, and then moved away in an instant.

Qin Ming thought to himself, "Very good, the eldest sister has seen me."

Emperor Hui stroked his palm and said goodbye: "The future generations are formidable and rewarded. The Qin family's boy is brave and rewarded."

Jiang Mu returned to the stands.

------

The field entered the stage of the horse racing.

The racecourse is a circular track. Riders start from the front of the stands and race for a week. The first to come wins.

The first was the men's horse race.

At this moment, sitting in front of the stands, sitting on horses, the second prince Feng Xian, the prince of Yongding Houfu Xie Changyuan, the eldest son of the Minister of War, He Xiao, and a group of sons and sergeants were preparing for the horse race.

Wang Jingyu, the youngest son of Zuo Xiang in the stands, did not end. He knew the superb riding skills of those on the field.

On the stage, Qin Ming, who was rubbing his arms and legs by the servants, couldn't tell how hard it was. He and his second sister Qin Nian had been practicing horse riding for the past two months, and they thought that they could show their skills when hunting in the western suburbs. Knowing that when he fell off the ring just now, his **** and legs hurt, and he can't get on a horse today.

"Oh, oh, you count." Qin Ming rubbed his **** and said to the boy beside him.

------

The drum sounded, and dozens of high-headed horses rushed out. The people on the horses galloped, the horses neighed, the hoofs were rapid, and the dust was flying, which was spectacular.

Today, Xie Changyuan did not intend to be more scruples, and did not intend to give up the second prince Feng Xian like before. He lowered his upper body, pulled the reins sharply, led the way, and reached the finish line first with a clear advantage.

At the moment when he passed the finish line, Xie Changyuan glanced at Qin Yan in the stands.

However, Qin Yan lowered her head slightly and listened to what Feng Yuyao was saying.

Xie Changyuan's eyes dimmed for a moment.

A Yan in the stands looked at Xie Changyuan's handsome and handsome figure, her cheeks reddened. That was her elder brother Zhang Yuan, and also the elder brother Zhang Yuan who was about to be her husband.

The second prince Feng Xian arrived later, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.

In the past, he could see that Xie Chang Yuan had the element of intentional compromise, allowing him to always come out on top. But he was a prince, and he thought that was Xie Changyuan's current affairs.

But today's Xie Changyuan...

The second prince, Feng Xian, looked at the stands because of Qin Yan?

------

Then came the women's horse racing.

It is different from the shock and agitation of the men's horse racing just now. The girls don't have a good view right away.

The two princesses did not end, and Xie Qing, the princess of Zhaoren County and the young lady of Yongding Hou's mansion, also sat in the stands.

The second young lady of the Zuo Xiangfu, Wang Jingyan, was wearing a bright red riding uniform today.

And Qin Nian, the second young lady of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, was dwarfed by that. Qin Nian has just learned to ride a horse, and his performance can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. He was directly reduced to the foil of Miss Wang's family.

A Yan also wanted to go horse racing, but was stopped by Xie Changyuan. A Yan's riding skills can only be played for fun, how can she really go to the arena.

Feng Yuyao motioned to Qin Yan, Qin Yan followed Feng Yuyao's line of sight, Xie Changyuan held the reins on the sidelines, and immediately sat down with A Yan, who was blushing, and the two walked slowly on the sidelines.

Qin Yan thought to himself, um, a pair made in heaven.

Today's second miss of the Zuo Prime Minister's House, Wang Jingyan, performed particularly well right away. He got up and left the saddle, left one foot on the stirrup, then moved away from the horse and touched the ground with one foot, and then jumped on the horse's back again.

Wang Jingyan had been preparing for a long time, but unfortunately His Royal Highness the Prince was not present today.

Man, how can there be special love. A woman has to change the tricks to give a man a fresh feeling in order to be loved by a man for a long time, otherwise the man will go outside to find someone else to give him a fresh feeling.

Wang Jingyan felt that An Yanxi was just a piece of wood, and she always acted like a lady who was a famous lady. It's so boring, men will get tired of it.

Unsurprisingly, Wang Jingyan, the second miss of the Zuo Prime Minister's House, won the championship.

All saints are rewarded.

------

At this time, there was a sudden neighing of horses in the field, and several people worked together to bring a group of tall and strong jujube red horses to the field.

Everyone looked over in confusion.

Emperor Hui said: "This is a horse with sweat and blood from Dawan. It was donated by the Mulan Racecourse of the Zhaoren County Master. Yesterday, I saw this horse with strong bones and muscles on the racecourse. I like it very much, but this horse is unruly and difficult to tame. Today, if any warrior can tame this fierce horse, I will reward you greatly."

Everyone was eager to move, but they were terrified to see the tall horse that could not be contained by the four strong and robust sergeants.

A few brothers in the stands went up, and before they got close to the horse, they were kicked over by the horse's front hooves, or frightened to the ground, rolling and crawling to avoid and leave.

Some of the sergeants went to train the horse, but they were barely able to get close, and they couldn't get on the horse's back at all.

The second prince Feng Xian cherished his life, and was not interested in playing with this fierce horse with his precious body.

He Xiao looked at Xie Changyuan: "Xie Shizi, try?"

Xie Changyuan couldn't help looking in Qin Yan's direction. At this moment, Qin Yan changed her indifference towards the field, and she was looking at the fierce horses on the field.

It seems that Qin Yan is very interested in this horse, yes, it used to be the horse in her stable.

Xie Changyuan got up, but his right arm was grabbed by A Yan next to him.

"Brother Chang Yuan, don't go." A Yan looked at Xie Chang Yuan and said worriedly. The horse looked so unruly, she didn't want Brother Zhang Yuan to be in danger.

Xie Changyuan glanced at A Yan comfortingly, stroked A Yan's hands holding his arms, stepped down, and walked straight to the fierce horse.

"Get out of the way." Xie Changyuan said.

Xie Chang Yuan immediately mounted his horse, pulled the reins tightly, and started a fierce battle with this fierce horse.

That horse had been waiting for an opportunity to throw Xie Changyuan off his body. Xie Changyuan avoided it several times, but he didn't make any progress.

One person and one horse stand deadlocked on the field for a long time

But Xie Changyuan didn't intend to give up easily, everyone in the stands watched, and Qin Yan as well.

Qin Yan is a good horse, if he can subdue this fierce horse, Qin Yan will look at him with admiration, then...

On the stand, Ning Concubine suddenly spoke to Emperor Hui, and her voice was not deliberately lowered, so the seats nearby were clearly audible.

"Your Majesty, since this fierce horse is from the horse farm of the Zhaoren County Lord, why not let the Zhaoren County Lord take a try?"
