After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 497 Let Your Grandfather Come

After two rounds of competition, it was noon.

After a whole morning of thrills and excitement, all the civil and military officials were sweating profusely and their throats were sore.

Emperor Liang allowed everyone to rest for a while and resume the horse riding and archery competition an hour later.

During this time, the Queen had the imperial kitchen deliver tea, fruits and meals, and all the officials praised the Queen's virtue.

In the pergola of Prince Jin, Prince Jin, Prince Rui, Prince Qi and Lu Qi were enjoying the lunch on the table. In addition to the reward from the Queen, there were also nourishing soups and dishes that Concubine Hu had the palace servants send.

But at this time, no one had much appetite.

King Qi said: "Big brother, third brother, I think you don't need to worry too much. Lu Linyuan just has some unconventional tricks. When it comes to relying on force, he will be helpless."

King Rui glared at him and said, "Do you really think he can't pull the three-stone bow?"

The King of Qi was unimpressed: "So what if he can pull it? Qi'er can also pull it, the worst that can happen is a draw. Besides, don't we have a backup plan?"

Lu Qi frowned and said, "Fourth Uncle, I can beat him by myself. I don't need you to do anything behind the scenes."

Prince Rui patted Lu Qi on the shoulder and said, "He was the one who resorted to trickery first. He used the method of bloodletting to arouse the bloodiness of the wild horse, which was not in compliance with the rules."

The King of Qi said hurriedly: "Yes, Qi'er, if you want to be a gentleman, you can't stand others using any means necessary."

Lu Qi paused and said, "But the Minister of Agriculture said that he was removing ticks from the horses."

The King of Qi said disdainfully: "Don't listen to that old man. He and Meng Ge Lao have long been bribed by the Crown Prince's Mansion. If you believe them, you will be fooled by them."

King Rui said, "Moreover, that white horse is not a wild horse prepared by the stable. I don't know where it got in from. Who can guarantee that it was not arranged in advance by the Crown Prince's Mansion? The Miao people are good at Gu. Apart from Gu, I really can't think of any other means to make a wild horse fearless of the Horse King?"

Prince Rui's words touched Lu Qi's heart.

Rather than believing that Lu Yuan actually had the ability, he would rather believe that Lu Yuan had tampered with it.

What he wanted from the beginning to the end was a fair contest, but if Lu Yuan violated the rules first, then he wouldn't have to keep suffering the consequences.

Seeing that his expression had softened, King Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, if he doesn't play dirty tricks next time, we won't do anything to him. On the contrary, if he still refuses to change, we will make him suffer."

Lu Qi nodded: "Yeah."

"Second brother, what do you think they are whispering about?"

In the pergola of the Prince's Mansion, Prince Ming glared at Prince Jin and his two companions.

Lu Zhaoyan picked up a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks: "Eat yours."

Ming Wang: "I don't eat green vegetables!"

Lu Zhaoyan ignored him.

Prince Ming decisively gave it to Prince Fu: "You eat it."

Duke Jiang also gave the vegetable leaves in his bowl to Prince Fu, and then put the meat in Prince Fu's bowl into his own bowl.

King Fu: "..."

Lu Yuan was not in the shed. He went to the stable alone after losing the second test.

Zhang Qufeng laughed at him for not being able to accept defeat, and hiding away in anger because he couldn't draw the bow. Compared with the calm and composed prince, he had no broad mind at all.

Ming Wang smiled coldly: "Yeah? Who can compete with him? He has lost so many times that his face has become thicker."

The King of Qi slapped the table and said, "Who are you calling shameless?"

Ming Wang chuckled and said, "Don't you know who I'm talking about? Then why are you so excited?"

The King of Qi rolled up his sleeves and rushed over to fight him.

"Hey - don't don't don't -"

Duke Jiang hurriedly tried to stop the fight, and took away the braised pork and fish on the table, "Okay, you can fight now."

King Qi: “…”

King Rui dragged King Qi back to King Jin's shed, and King Qi sat down, cursing.

Lu Qi put down his bowl and chopsticks: "Father, I'm full. I'll go feed the horses first."

King Jin said: "Don't tire yourself out."

"understood."

Lu Qi stood up, bowed as a junior, and turned to go to the stable.

The horse they used next was the wild horse that had just been tamed in the morning, but it was a wild horse after all and had not received rigorous training, so its coordination was not as good as the war horses in the mansion. He also wanted to take advantage of this time to practice more with the horse.

Just as he walked near the stable, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

He exclaimed, and walked forward quickly: "Mom, why are you here? And you changed your clothes?"

The other person turned around and gave him a strange look: "Who are you?"

Lu Qi was stunned.

Not his mother.

But...the two of them have somewhat similar temperaments and figures.

"mother."

Lu Yuan came over.

"son!"

Liu Qingyun's eyes lit up, revealing an expression as clear and excited as a young girl, "You are really here!"

Son... Lu Qi looked at Lu Yuan, then at Liu Qingyun, and understood each other's identity.

But why does she look so much like her mother?

It's not a resemblance in appearance, but more like a deliberate imitation.

Lu Yuan stood beside Liu Qingyun and glanced at Lu Qi calmly: "Hey, why are you always staring at my mother? Go find your own mother."

Liu Qingyun: “That’s it!”

After that, she hugged Lu Yuan's arm and said in a playful manner, "Son, he called me mom, but I didn't respond."

Lu Yuan smiled coldly: "Did you get kicked in the head by a horse, or did you get your brain damaged by pulling the bow? Who told you to recognize your mother in broad daylight?"

Liu Qingyun: “That’s it!”

Lu Qi was a little embarrassed and said expressionlessly: "I just admitted my mistake for the moment."

Liu Qingyun said to Lu Yuan: "Son, I will never mistake you!"

Lu Qi's breath got stuck in his throat.

Like mother, like son, what a wonderful pair!
He walked away with a cold face.

Liu Qingyun pulled Lu Yuan aside and looked him up and down: "Son, are you okay?"

"No."

Lu Yuan said.

Liu Qingyun said unhappily: "The Queen built the awning so far away, I didn't see anything, and I just heard someone slaughtering pigs over there."

The corner of Lu Yuan's mouth twitched. Has Duke Jiang's pig-killing screams reached the female relatives?

He said, "The archery field is not far from where you are. You should be able to see it soon."

Liu Qingyun's expression relaxed: "That's more like it! By the way, son, that man just now was the son of King Jin, right?"

Lu Yuan said: "It's him."

Liu Qingyun added: "No wonder you are so annoying. I heard from the Queen that you lost a game? Did they cheat?"

"No."

Lu Yuan said without changing his expression.

Liu Qingyun asked suspiciously: "Really?"

Lu Yuan: "I'm not lying to you, I really don't."

He won't drag his mother into the feud between him and Lu Qi.

He was not worried that his mother would not use enough force and the situation would not end well.

Liu Qingyun stretched out his tone: "Really - no?"

Lu Yuan said: "Don't you even care who your son is?"

"That's right." Liu Qingyun was extremely proud. He raised his hand to straighten Lu Yuan's collar. "Son, it doesn't matter if you lose. At worst, you can let your grandfather kill him, and the Qilin position is still yours."

Lu Qi, who had just walked out of the stable with a black horse, said: "..."
