Chapter VII
However, Su Yan's idea was disappointed, and seeing Su Yan turn over and dismount, Pei Yuan stepped back a little, and then bowed and saluted.
"See Her Royal Highness the Three Princesses. ”
Sure enough, there are very few plots in which the aristocratic sons don't know the identity of the nobles, and the real family can quickly react when they meet people in the same circle.
"No courtesy. I rarely appear in the royal capital, and I don't have a royal insignia when I travel today, how do you recognize me?"
"Back to His Highness, I had a relationship with His Highness in the bookstore a few days ago, and I had doubts when I went home, so I inquired about it. His Royal Highness's dragon and phoenix posture is unforgettable, and it is a matter of course to be able to recognize it when you see you again. ”
That's a beautiful thing to say!
If it weren't for Su Yan's confirmation that her itinerary could not be leaked today, she would have wondered if Pei Yuan's carriage was broken on purpose.
"Pei Gongzi's carriage is broken, this king is going to participate today, there is a change of horses, Guan Gongzi is also going to watch the race, if you don't mind, can you go with this king?"
Pei Yuan lowered his head and thought for a while, and after a close contact with the Three Princesses today, his original worries were quickly put down. Watching his deeds and listening to his words, he is worthy of being an outstanding person among his peers in the royal family. In this case, walking with the Three Kings Girl may bring pressure on public opinion for the election, but if you can take this opportunity to make a good impression on the Three Kings Girl, it will also be of great benefit to success. Therefore, when he looked up again, Pei Yuan's eyes were much firmer.
"Thank you, Your Highness. ”
Su Yan left two people to help deal with the carriage, and Pei Yuan accompanied a personal servant. There was also plenty of time left and right, so the two sides did not gallop.
"Why didn't Pei Gongzi participate?"
"The eldest brother in the family has already competed, and I don't like riding and shooting, so I want to be lazy. ”
Su Yan smiled subtly, these two brothers of the Pei family are really brothers.
"Your patriarch brother Toad Palace has won the laurels, and now he is already an official in the court. You also have a reputation for being a child, how did you think of running for office?"
Su Yan wanted to ask knowingly. Although both men and women can participate in the scientific examination, in fact, the difficulty of the male scientific examination is more than twice as difficult as that of the female examination. Many people are still women over men, men's education level is not as good as women's, and there are practical things in the imperial examination, and men who don't often go out are afraid that they don't pay enough attention to current affairs. What's more, Su Yan looks at Pei Yuan's situation, which is not inferior to his eldest brother, if he does not run for election and continues to participate in the scientific examination, it is not impossible for him to be an official in the same dynasty as his eldest brother.
"Your Highness, the villain has reached the crown this year, and he should have started a family. If I was fortunate enough to meet the palace selection, I was naturally overjoyed. ”
Pei Yuan avoided talking about the reason, and Su Yan didn't ask, but turned to other light topics, which also made Pei Yuan breathe a sigh of relief.
For the sake of Pei Yuan's reputation, when he was about to arrive at the racecourse, Su Yan politely let Pei Yuan enter first.
"Your Royal Highness, why did you fall in love with the son of the Pei family? In terms of posture and bearing, it is not that he does not surpass him, not to mention that it seems that his mind is not on you, but on the position of the prince. ”
Qiushuang grew up with the Three Princesses since childhood, so when she said this, she didn't seem to be nosy and overstepping.
"I can't help it, I owe him, so I add some mercy. Now that I have come into contact with it, I feel unexpected, and it has become a favorite. ”
Qiushuang felt inexplicable, but Su Yan had already ridden away, and Qiushuang could only hurry up and swallow what she wanted to say.
"Her Royal Highness the Three Kings has arrived!"
Su Yan participated in the Jockey Club to make a grand debut, and when she made an official appearance in the royal capital, she would not go to the field to prepare, but went directly to the high platform. At this time, the opening cabaret show is over and the first horse race is ready. The bells and drums sounded, and the voice of the officer made everyone look in the direction of the entrance to the paddock.
A dark horse, immediately feminine and magnificent. Dressed in the national color of the costume - the black color riding costume, wearing a blue jade crown, because he has not yet married a family, so his long hair is not all tied up. Although due to the distance, I have never seen the woman's posture clearly, this body bearing is already heartbreaking.
There was a lot of discussion on the field, but it fell silent in an instant.
Su Yan clamped her legs, and the horse galloped to the starting point of the game again, reining in the horse, and doing it in one go! The crowd who couldn't react was refreshed by this handsome action, and then burst into cheers.
"Ahhh
"Third Highness, Third Highness, I want to press Third Highness!"
"Oh my God, the Three Princesses are so imposing, did you see them when you passed, the Three Princesses are like heavens!"
"Don't pull it, my sleeve my sleeve!"
On the high platform, the second princess pulled the sleeve of the eldest princess sideways.
"Sister Wang, how is it, are you jealous? Don't you feel sorry for this matter. ”
The eldest princess gave the second princess a blank look. If she didn't know that the second princess was really lacking in heart, she would have wondered if she was trying to sow discord.
"I don't know the purpose of the momentum ordered by my mother. ”
"Also, alas, I'm jealous. One of you is a sure prince, and the other is a future national teacher and Zongzheng, so I should be jealous and envious, right?"
"Hehe, don't pretend to be pitiful here, you are not good at civil and military affairs, but when it comes to the small treasury, who in the royal family can compare with you? Who can compare with you in that luxurious and comfortable life? By the way, are you preparing to organize a national business association in private? I can tell you, you have to grasp the scale of doing this, and you must not compete with the people for profit. ”
"Hey, I know, I know. The second princess smiled and said, "That, Sister Wang, my mother is more conservative about the trade of various countries, and you have to help me talk more when I go back." ”
"It's not that you can't participate in politics, don't hide behind me all day to make a fortune. If you are not filial, I will not be scolded for you. ”
"Filial piety, must be honored, or double filial piety!"
Seeing that the two of them were poor, the eldest prince and the second prince also looked at each other and smiled. The royal family is not flourishing now, and the queen has also had the tragedy of her sister Ni Wall before, so that the queen is very concerned about the education of her children, and because of this, there is now harmony.
"Playing with the Third Highness, it seems that we have to be a foil in this game. ”
"Yes, yes, my family is still in the stands, and I can't go back to nag. ”
Su Yan was present, and the nobles who participated in the competition also made jokes. One is to get closer, and the other is to probe Su Yan's temper.
"Everyone is in love, isn't this going to marry a prince, this king also wants to save face, if you can't shine, it is estimated that you will have to eat and hang up when you go back. ”
Hearing Su Yan's words, everyone also laughed. But the matter is clear, and there are also noblewomen who participate in the competition and have brothers in their families participating in the election, but everyone is not unwilling to be robbed of the limelight by Su Yan. What's more, Su Yan's riding skills also made everyone understand that even if she is not the daughter of the three kings, she still has the strength to win the championship. It's just that the nobles who were entrusted with the important task of inquiring about the temper of the three princesses also breathed a sigh of relief, this is not arrogant and looks down on people.
The nine horses were lined up in turn, and in the first race, except for Su Yan, they were all first-class families or important ministers, even the Pei family was not qualified to be among them.
"Run!"
The ceremonial officer waved the flag in his hand, and Su Yan took the lead. The shouts on the field rang out, and according to the route, first galloped, then crossed obstacles, waded through water, and then rushed over the high platform. Su Yan spared no effort, and naturally lived up to expectations, crossing the finish line in everyone's exclamations.
