Chapter 812: The Road to Enemies is Narrow
After resting for about half an hour, Lin Ruichen led everyone to leave Tingxi Liyuan and head towards the school horse farm in the eastern suburbs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the place where the nobles of the capital trained their riding skills, and it is also the place where the emperor held a polo match during the winter hunting period every year. And this year, because of the preparation of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the hunting time had to be postponed.
This time, Zhou Changan wanted to take advantage of the presence of the envoys of the four countries to hold a more grand hunting event, so he has already begun to make preparations.
Because after the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the eighth day of the next lunar month is Zhou Tianhong's wedding, so the hunting ceremony was set on the fourth to the sixth day of the next month, a total of three days.
The first day was the hunting ceremony, and on that day Zhou Changan had to personally parade the troops to test the military ability and personal ability of the various military camps and Yulin Army near the capital.
The second day is the official hunt, the third day is the end of the hunt in the morning, and the results are counted in the afternoon. Finally, Zhou Chang'an will announce in public who the first knight of this year's Dafeng is, and give a reward.
Last year's first knight of Dafeng was the general of Northern Qi who is now far away in northern Xinjiang, that is, the fourth prince Zhou Tiankai. Who will be the first knight of Dafeng this year?
I didn't expect that today's school racecourse would be so lively, it is really a narrow road!
From a distance, I saw Zhou Tianhong, Lan Ziyue, and Lan Ziling riding on a tall horse, running slowly around the outer circle of the racecourse.
Zhou Tianxing and several young ladies from the capital sat in the stands of the racecourse, not knowing what they were saying, causing the ladies to laugh non-stop.
Under the stable in the distance, there were three people picking horses, one was Zhou Tianzheng in red, and the other two women were Zhou Lingfeng, who had just been reprimanded by the emperor a few days ago, and Zhou Lingwei, who Jin Haoran was thinking about.
Lin Wan couldn't help frowning, turned her head to look at Lin Ruichen, and said depressedly, "Brother, why don't we change places?"
Lin Ruichen didn't want to see these people, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, we rode our own horses, and we won't enter the racecourse." We went to the stream in front of us to ride horses and fish, and we were much more comfortable than here. ”
Everyone was very much in favor, only Jin Haoran was reluctant, but he still agreed with everyone's decision. In this case, he and Zhou Lingwei have no way to talk, and Zhou Lingwei and Zhou Lingfeng are together, maybe they will embarrass each other.
Lin Wan and the others were about to turn their horses and walk back, but it was too late.
"Brother Ximen, Brother Jin, since you are here, why do you have to leave so soon?" Zhou Tianhong saw Lin Wan and the others who were about to leave as soon as they came, and while riding a horse towards this side, he opened his mouth to stop Ximen Yuqing and Jin Haoran. When he got closer, he glanced at Lan Ziling and laughed in a low voice: "Brother Ximen, isn't it to hide from anyone?"
Ximen Yuqing hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "Brother Zhou is riding a horse here with two princesses, so naturally he shouldn't be disturbed below." Besides, we were just passing by here, and we didn't want to go to the racecourse to practice, so please don't misunderstand Brother Zhou. ”
Lan Ziling turned over and dismounted, walked to Ximen Yuqing's horse, raised a smile, and asked expectantly: "Brother Ximen, Ziling has a few words that I want to tell you alone, I wonder if you are willing to take a step to speak?"
Ximen Yuqing frowned slightly, and turned his head to look at Lin Wan, as if asking Lin Wan's opinion.
Lin Wan twisted her eyebrows and turned her head noncommittally. She didn't know what Lan Ziling wanted to say, but looking at her pitiful little appearance, she was unhappy.
Ximen Yuqing shook his head with a chuckle, and said helplessly: "Princess Ziling, if you have anything to say, just say it, there are no outsiders here, why do you want to take a step to speak?"
Lan Ziling bit her lower lip lightly, her face was full of grievances, and she muttered in a low voice: "Brother Ximen, I haven't seen you for many days, do you have any thoughts about Ziling?"
Ximen Yuqing pretended not to hear, sat on horseback, looked down at Lan Ziling's slightly lowered eyelashes, hooked her lips slightly, and asked with concern: "Princess Ziling, have you encountered anything difficult?"
Lan Ziling raised her head, looked at Ximen Yuqing sadly, and said faintly: "Brother Ximen, you used to call me Ziling, before you came to the Great Fengguo, you promised to take good care of me, but now you have forgotten?"
Ximen Yuqing frowned, and asked coldly: "Didn't this prince take good care of you along the way?"
Lan Ziling couldn't help but be shocked when she saw that Ximen Yuqing was angry, and shook her head again and again: "No, along the way, Brother Ximen has been very good to me." But ......" said, turning his head to look at Lin Wan, his eyes were full of resentment, and his voice became lower and lower: "But, since you saw Princess Wanxin, you have ignored me......"
Lin Wan turned his head, looked back at Lan Ziling, smiled coldly, and said, "Princess Ziling, do you think all this is because of this princess? Could it be that this princess made your brother Ximen ignore you? Could it be that this princess asked your brother Ximen to marry you, and he married you? If this princess has such great ability, do you dare to talk to this princess like this?"
"You!" Lan Ziling was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while, glaring at Lin Wan, feeling a burst of chagrin in her heart. She shouldn't have been involved with Lin Wan, she didn't expect that Lin Wan would speak so sharply, in front of so many people, without any mercy.
Lan Ziyue suddenly smiled lightly and said mockingly: "After Miss Lin Qi became Princess Wanxin, her temper has really grown a lot!"
Lin Wan also smiled faintly and replied: "Princess Ziyue has won the award, Wan'er is far worse than you!"
Lan Ziyue glared at Lin Wan angrily, and was about to shoot back, but suddenly heard a gentle voice behind her.
"It's really lively today, even General Lin and the county lord of Sanssouci are here. Zhou Tianzheng also led the horse and walked over, his eyes swept towards Lin Ruichen and Ning Wuwu behind him.
Lin Wan immediately interjected and said with a smile: "Sister Wuwu was invited by me, everyone comes out to play, of course, the more people the better." We are all idlers, and it is common for us to come out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. His Royal Highness the Third Prince is a busy man, how can he have time to come to the eastern suburbs to ride a horse today?"
Zhou Tianzheng couldn't help but secretly look at Zhou Tianhong's expression, secretly saying that Lin Wan was really good at sowing discord, and his words were stimulating Zhou Tianhong's nerves.
And Zhou Tianhong is worthy of being a little fox, no matter whether he is uncomfortable in his heart or not, he can't see anything on his face.
Zhou Tianfeng saw that it was Lin Wan again, followed by Ximen Yuqing and Jin Haoran, and couldn't help frowning, his eyes were full of disgust.
Lin Wan didn't want to stay here for a long time, so he turned his horse's head and said, "Let's go first, I'll disturb your Yaxing, see you later!"
Everyone also said goodbye, turned their horses' heads, and followed Lin Wan towards the stream.
Only Ximen Yuqing was blocked by Lan Ziling, and he couldn't get out for a while. He turned the horse's head around her. But Lan Ziling didn't give up, and moved two steps with him, still blocking in front of him.
Zhou Tianhong and the others, seeing that Lan Ziling had made up her mind to keep Ximen Yuqing this time, couldn't help but be secretly amused, pretending not to see anything, and dispersed.
