Chang Anqing

Chapter 227
In this room, the much-anticipated shooting field is about to start. In this match, Dalang Yang Jin, Saburo Yang Che, Goro Yang Zhao, Shangguan Yuan from Shangguan's family, and Shen's wife form a team. Erlang Yang Yan, Silang Yangzhen, Yuling King Zhao Yi, Bohai County King Chen Zhiyan, Queen Yang, and Li Sui formed a team.

Because there is still a missing lady in Dalang's team, when he was looking for it, Shangguan Yun, the concubine who had been sitting in the concubine's tent without saying a word, recommended herself.

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly cheered.

Because the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were tough, since there were jewels and jade worn by Empress Yang in Hufu, Emperor Yuan Cheng would not be against it.

Just like that, because one queen and one concubine in the harem all participated in today's wedding ceremony, it can be said that the scene was pushed to a climax, and it became a rare scene.

Accompanied by the sound of the drums, Empress Yang, who was dressed in a fiery red Hu suit, sat high on the horse on a sunny day, raised her hand and raised the stick with her eyes shining, and hit a good shot, which immediately won bursts of applause from the court.

With the ball together, the crowd competes.

The whistling wind, the neighing of the BMW, and the yelling of the gentleman and his wife driving the horses filled the entire kowtowing arena, as if they were about to overwhelm the vigorous and inspiring drums around them.

As the drumbeat became more and more urgent and heavy, the kicking field was also chasing each other to the death.

As expected, today's kicking match is really a rare feast. Langjun Li Dalang Yang Jin, Erlang Yang Yan, Sanlang Yang Che, Bohai County King Chen Zhiyan, and Yuling King Zhao Yi are all top performers. master.

In the Women's Army, Li Sui, the lord of Yongning County, and Baoying, the wife of Chang'an County, still played steadily. I don't know if it was because of his mood, Li Sui was even more brilliant today than last year's match.

And the most surprising thing is that everyone saw the true strength of Empress Yang today in today's bow match. They didn't even have time to see people clearly, so they could only rely on the windy wind Hongyi judged Queen Yang's position.

Empress Yang on the horse was free and easy, leaning over the court with the rein in hand, no matter the speed or explosive strength, she did not let the man in the slightest. She raised her head high with a smile, as if people could see the aura of bowing and shooting geese.

Looking at the person in front of them, everyone couldn't help but be surprised. The Queen Yang on the field and the gentle and dignified Queen Yang on the phoenix seat of the Golden Palace are really the same person?

"Ruizhu, let's go horseback riding too."

Hearing Shangguan Ling's sigh, Ruizhu looked up in surprise, and saw her wife looking at that side with yearning eyes, smiling and sighing, there were too many things in her pupils that she couldn't see clearly. Things I don't understand.

Following Shangguanling's gaze, Ruizhu saw the two figures who came and went like the wind in the hustle and bustle of the shooting arena.

He also immediately understood the state of mind of his wife.

The daughters of the Shangguan family have always been brought up with court etiquette, so even the handmaids who were selected to be with the ladies since childhood also rose and returned with the ladies, and practiced with their classmates until they were released from the court, so as not to lose their official status in the future.

If you don't care about seniority, but only about talent, if you look at the entire Shangguan family, your own wife is undoubtedly the first after the imperial concubine, but it is precisely to cultivate the noble and dignified demeanor and demeanor of Shangguan's daughter, so the Shangguan family never requires girls to learn horse riding, shooting, etc. Ju, archery, these skills are out of the traditional daughter's reserved and precious skills, and some women who even despise it in their hearts are like barbarians outside the Great Wall.

Therefore, for a long time, only the newly-appointed Concubine De in the palace insisted on taking pride in martial arts.

Since her own wife married the county king these days, she has seen it in her eyes and sighed in her heart.

Can't say it's good, but can't say it's bad either.

Undoubtedly in the eyes of others, the county king is indeed gentle to their wives, but that kindness is always bounded and polite.

Respect each other as guests, that's about it.

"But, princess, you have never learned how to ride a horse, I'm afraid it's a bit dangerous—"

Hearing Ruizhu's worry, Shangguanling looked back and smiled, his eyes glowed with consolation: "How can you ride if you don't learn? Try it today."

Seeing that his wife insisted on going, Rui Zhu hesitated and wanted to say something, but heard a soft sigh that seemed to be a question but not a question.

"Look, his smile is real only in this shooting ring—"

With this light words that go with the wind, Ruizhu saw the king of the county whizzing by like a gust of wind, and raised his pole, and saw how he laughed loudly after scoring a goal, and clapped and cheered look like.It's never happened in the mansion, or at the banquet next to it.

Hearing the clapping and clapping noise behind him, Shangguan Ling took Ruizhu away to the deserted racecourse in silence.

As soon as he saw a nobleman coming, the steward of the racecourse hurriedly came forward to greet him with a smile. Shangguan Ling quietly looked around at the tall and majestic BMWs, after thinking for a while, he finally said: "I have never learned how to ride a horse, please do it for me." Pick a docile horse."

Hearing the words of Shangguan's order, the steward became more confident, and hurriedly picked the most docile horse for himself.

"Prince Princess, let this maid lead the horse around for you first."

Looking at the little girl dressed up by the maidservants in the racecourse, Shangguan's order naturally complied, but looking at the horse in front of him, which was even a little taller than him, he was still a little bit frightened.

But I think back to the scene just now, and I think back to the moment when Mrs. Yang, the princess of Chang'an County, was free to come and go on the shooting field, and she was able to cooperate tacitly with the county king under the attention of everyone, and received the moment when he handed her the ball. , Her heart became firm again.

No matter what happened in the past, she hopes that in the future, she will be able to ride with him like Yang Shi, and see him smile at her with his heart open, without alienation or boundaries.

After a bow, everyone present seemed to be holding a heart. Seeing that at the last moment, Empress Yang resolutely swung the ball to Li Sui, and as Li Sui spared no effort to hit it, the warm wind , The ball went straight through the hole, greeted with cheers and applause from the audience.

At that moment, Li Sui looked at Empress Yang not far away through the crowd. When her eyes met, she saw the pride and peace in Empress Yang's eyes.

Here, realizing that the horse under him was indeed docile and obedient, Shangguan Ling gradually let go of his trembling heart.

"Can I hold the reins myself?"

Hearing this bold idea, Rui Zhu, who followed step by step, looked nervously at the servant girl, who naturally said obediently: "The princess of the county learns very fast, you can try to walk the horse by yourself, but don't act too hastily."

Encouraged by the servant girl, Shangguan Ling happily took the reins, leaned over and caressed the horse's mane, and then carefully and slowly drove the horse under Ruizhu's trembling care.

The BMW under her body was like an obedient child, walking forward step by step under the guidance of Shangguanling. As the horseshoes moved slightly faster, Shangguanling felt the fragrance of flowers and plants coming along with the spring breeze, and she couldn't help but look up Close your eyes and enjoy the unfettered freedom of this moment.

In the quiet time, the first race in the bowing field was over, and the horses on the field were all returned to the racecourse under the guidance. However, for some reason, one of the horses only neighed as hard as possible, but it was a horse that was shocked by Shangguan. Out of shape, he accelerated without warning.

"Princess Princess!"

In Ruizhu's lung-piercing cry, Shangguan Ling felt that the horse under him was already rampaging uncontrollably.

"Princess Princess, hurry up, grab the reins!"

With the whistling wind mixed with the shouts of the crowd, Shangguan Ling felt dazed, as if he would be thrown off his horse with every step.

Instinctively, she bent down to grab it tightly, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether she was grabbing the rein or the horse's mane.

Feeling that the BMW under him was getting faster and faster, Shangguan Ling felt as if his internal organs had already stumbled together, and he wanted to vomit but couldn't.

Even if she couldn't see it, she could still imagine that she must be extremely embarrassed at the moment.

"Princess Princess, Concubine Princess, help! Help—"

Rui Zhu's shattered cries came from beside his ear, Shangguan Ling smiled, he probably was going to die here.

Just when she was trying her last sliver of strength to lie tightly on the horse's back, a voice fell on her ears like the sound of heaven, like a god.

"Princess Princess, hold on!"

Looking back, she saw a pair of bright eyes, as if filled with peace of mind, and smiled brightly with her.

While speaking, Baoying had already grabbed the soulless horse, because this horse was docile, and its physical strength was not as strong as the bloody horse under Baoying. At this moment, it was frightened and ran wildly for a while, so its physical strength was already exhausted. .

So Baoying landed on the backhand and put the noose on the horse conveniently, and looked back the next moment: "Aman!"

The moment the voice fell, under Li Sui's order, the guards immediately grabbed the other end of the horse rope with all their strength.

He could only hear the exhausted neighing sound of the horse suddenly, seeing the horse raised its front hooves, as if it was about to throw down the Shangguan Ling on the horse's back, Baoying's eyes tightened, and she stretched out her hand to grab it without thinking.

"Give me your hand!"

Under Baoying's words, Shangguan Ling couldn't help but choose to believe her, and passed his hand over. At the moment when the horse fell down suddenly, Shangguan Ling was already sitting on Baoying's horse, sharing the same horse.

When she got back to the entrance, Baoying got off her horse, and Li Sui pulled her and asked, "How is it? Are you hurt?"

Seeing Baoying's smiling eyebrows suddenly tighten, Li Sui rolled up his sleeves and saw that his left arm was already swollen a lot.

"Baoying, Ah Man—"

Since the shooting match just now was their son's arena, Li Sui and Baoying planned to ride horses to relax, but they never expected to encounter such a scene.

What Li Sui didn't even expect was that Baoying, who had always been hesitant by her side, chased after her without giving her time to react, and tried her best to tame the horse to save Shangguan Ling.

Therefore, at this moment, Lord Yang, Zhao Yi, and Chen Zhiyan also stopped the competition after hearing the news, and came here in a hurry.

Chen Zhiyan almost took the lead, and turned over nervously before the horse stopped. When he got close, Chen Zhiyan uncontrollably looked at Baoying, who was looking down, and then heard Yang Yan's anxious voice behind him. sound.

"How is Baoying, is she injured?"

Under the shock of his pupils, Chen Zhiyan's eyes gradually became dark, until finally calmed down.

"How is it, where did it hurt?"

Hearing Chen Zhiyan's heart-warming words, Shangguan Ling didn't see what happened just now, he just shook his head pretending not to know, and said with a comforting smile on his pale face: "It's just a shock, nothing happened."

Li Sui looked at Chen Zhiyan with complicated eyes, at Baoying who didn't dare to face him, and at Yang Yan who was anxiously checking Baoying's wound, and finally broke the embarrassing atmosphere: "Baoying's left hand is swollen, you can take it lightly." Shake it, and it will become a bear's paw in a while."

Hearing this, both Chen Zhiyan and Yang Yan looked at Baoying, and Baoying finally smiled and said: "It's okay, I don't know how many times I fell while riding a horse since I was a child, it's not a serious problem, just rest for a few days and you'll be fine."

Seeing that Baoying's complexion was still good, Yang Yanshi felt relieved.

"Thanks to the help of Mrs. Jungong today, she saved my life, please accept my worship."

At this moment, Shangguanling approached with the support of Chen Zhiyan and Ruizhu, and when he was about to salute, Baoying quickly raised his hand and said, "No princess, I just did it in an emergency, so I can't take it."

Seeing that this ceremony was blocked by Baoying, Chen Zhiyan, who was silent, finally said: "I can't thank Madam for your kindness today, and I will visit you another day."

Hearing this sentence, Baoying's eyes paused for a moment, and finally she lowered her eyelids and said, "Your Majesty is being polite."

"In my opinion, Baoying is indeed a tiger girl of the general family. She dares to drive and tame the horse alone. With such courage, I am afraid that even we Ah Man will have to give up three points."

Feeling the atmosphere getting deeper and deeper, fortunately, Yang Jin, who knew nothing about it, opened his mouth, which happened to fall into Li Sui's arms, and it was considered a gag.

When everyone returned to the tent, Li Suishi seriously said in disapproval: "Your actions just now were too risky, what should you do if you are seriously injured?"

Hearing Li Sui's words, Baoying smiled, and said immediately: "When saving people, how can I get anything else."

"You really didn't think about it?"

Hearing Li Suifu's meaningful words, Baoying thought for a while, and finally said: "The princess of the county seems to be a good person, and she is a good match for him."

"You know, no matter how open I am to the people's customs, there is a level of superiority and inferiority. After all, men and women have great defenses. This is why the guards on the racecourse are hesitant."

Hearing Baoying's words, Li Sui naturally knew that if Shangguan Ling was rescued in full view today, it would not be Baoying who was riding with her, but a strange guard next to her. It is undoubtedly inappropriate for the aloof Qingliu family.

At that time, if rumors arise, not to mention that those who save people will not be rewarded at all, and they may even die because of it.

At the same time, it will undoubtedly make the Shangguan family feel ashamed, and even the Linzi Palace will be implicated.
