Chapter 216: The King Discusses Martial Arts (25)
Emperor Longwu also smiled on the side: "What Changsheng said is not unreasonable. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info The queen mother is still waiting for him to win. If I can't take it, I'll make a promise. β
The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Longwu and Mu Qing with disgust: "In this case, according to the mourning family, it is better to lose." β
Emperor Longwu smiled.
"The competition began. The second prince shouted.
The crowd turned their attention to the big ring in the middle.
Today is the last round, there is no need to draw lots, only the order from low to high, Mu Qing is ranked in the fifth, and Ling Fei Lingyang's is the final finale of this year's martial arts meeting.
The first game was a three-layer competition for the third place, Mu Qing glanced at it casually and looked at the opposite side, and directly opposite the royal grandstand was the Ling family's stand.
Mu Qing let out a soft "huh".
A few days ago, the children of the royal capital were also there, Ling Fei and Young Master Ning were standing together, but they didn't talk to those people, their eyes wandered around, and their faces were a little solemn, as if they were looking for someone.
"What's wrong?" the Queen Mother saw Mu Qing's strange expression, so she asked.
Mu Qing shook his head, followed Ling Fei's gaze and couldn't help frowning: "...... Zixun's eldest brother and third brother are not here?"
"Maybe it's something else that won't come. "The Queen Mother didn't watch the competition a few days ago, and although she had an impression of the children of Enhou Mansion, she didn't value it very much.
"Not true. Emperor Longwu also looked strange, Mu Qing glanced at it, and explained to the Queen Mother, "Zixun's eldest brother has entered the last round, and the last game will be his competition with Zixun later." β
Mu Qing felt a little strange in his heart, based on his feelings about Ling Yang, Ling Yang should not be late for such an important occasion, a few days ago, the two Ling Yang brothers arrived at the martial arts arena before the opening.
Obviously, Ling Fei also thought the same way, so when he found that Ling Yang had not arrived, he showed such a look and looked around.
"Maybe I'm delayed on the road, maybe I'll come later. The Queen Mother only thought that Mu Qing was friendly with the Ling brothers, so she was relieved.
Emperor Longwu summoned Gonggong Fang over and whispered a few words, Gonggong Fang nodded again and again, and turned away.
Unlike previous days, there was a quarter-hour break between each of the final rounds.
After the first game, Jian Huixin brought two maids to greet the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother has always liked Jian Huixin, and when she was happy, she asked her to sit down beside her, Jian Huixin smiled a little shyly, and sat down on the right side of the Queen Mother obediently.
"You've both seen it, but have you played together?" the Queen Mother asked with a smile as she looked at the two.
Jian Huixin called "Cousin Mu" first, and Mu Qing also replied with a "county lord".
"What else is the county lord called like this?" The Queen Mother was very satisfied when she saw the two closest juniors on the left and right, handsome men and beautiful women, "They are all from their own family, and they are just called family etiquette." β
Emperor Longwu glanced this way.
Mu Qing just smiled obediently and didn't speak.
Emperor Longwu smiled faintly and withdrew his gaze.
"Hui Xin is sixteen this year, right?" the Queen Mother suddenly remembered, "It seems that the mourning family has been these days, right?"
"Well, it's the day after tomorrow. Jian Hui smiled softly, "I didn't tell the Queen Mother earlier, but I didn't expect the Queen Mother to remember." But the Queen Mother doesn't have to pay attention to it, there are birthdays every year, as long as the Queen Mother can watch Huixin for a long time, Huixin will be very happy. β
"The mourning family knows that one or two of you are afraid that I will worry about it, and you are all filial children. The Queen Mother smiled, "But the mourning family has not been used to this extent, and a woman's sixteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony is an unusual birthday." Rest assured, the birthday ceremony has already been prepared, you just have to accept the gift. But when the mourning family is old, they won't join in the fun, and you young people are so good to play. β
"Hui Xin thanked the Queen Mother. Jian Huixin smiled, and her beautiful eyes turned to look at Mu Qing, "Huixin also invited Cousin Mu." β
The Queen Mother let out an "oh", smiled and nodded again and again: "It should be like this, this is the best, then the immortal life represents the good birth of the mourning family to congratulate Hui Xin on his birthday." β
The eldest prince sitting in the back row and the second prince quietly glanced at each other.
At the beginning, when Jian Huixin invited, Mu Qing felt that it didn't matter if he didn't go or not, but after the past two days, he planned to find an excuse at that time, just let people give a gift.
But now that the Queen Mother said this, he had no choice but to respond: "Yes." β
"Changsheng has to prepare the gifts," the Queen Mother quipped, "If Hui Xin likes anything, just tell your cousin, if he is stingy, you tell the mourning family, and the mourning family will help you make the decision." β
Jian Huixin covered her mouth and smiled, and glanced at the red list of prizes by the ring: "Huixin has something she likes, but I'm afraid that Cousin Mu will not be willing to give it." β
"Oh-" The Queen Mother was also accustomed to observing words, and followed Jian Huixin's gaze to understand it, and raised her hand to nod, "Isn't that the one on top?"
Jian Huixin just pursed her lips and smiled smartly, looking at Mu Qing without speaking.
"Your Majesty, if you win the second prize, you can also pick two, right?" the Queen Mother asked Emperor Longwu.
Emperor Longwu glanced at Jian Huixin and said, "Yes, the leader can pick three things on the red list, the second one can pick two, and the rest can only pick one." This year's prizes are very rich, there are eighteen pieces of high-grade Xiangnan alone, and there are a few of them of extremely high quality. β
The Queen Mother nodded, understood the meaning of Emperor Longwu's words, and turned her head to ask Jian Huixin: "What are the good things this year, even you have taken a fancy to them?"
"It's a piece of ice jade. Jian Hui smiled shyly.
"Bing Xiyu?" the Queen Mother was also surprised, "This is rare, I haven't seen it for many years." It's no wonder that you little girls like it, and if the mourning family is dozens of years younger, they also like such objects. β
The Queen Mother said with a smile, but she didn't mention the words on the side.
Mu Qingzheng sat upright, his eyes falling on the ring intently.
"It doesn't matter what Hui Xin likes, it's rare to have so many high-quality Xiangnan this year, and Cousin Mu can pick more Xiangnan to assist in practice, this is the right thing. Jian Huixin smiled softly, "The Queen Mother must not embarrass Cousin Mu for Huixin, if this is the case, then Huixin will not dare to see Cousin Mu in the future." β
The eldest prince pursed his lips invisibly, and the second prince rolled his eyes, leaned up and said, "Cousin, it's time to prepare, the second game is almost over!"
Mu Qing took advantage of the situation and got up: "Grandmother, I'll go change clothes first." β
The Queen Mother nodded again and again, took Mu Qing's hand and told him to be careful, "The first and second are fine, don't get hurt."
Mu Qing should be down.
Under the acquiescence of Emperor Longwu's gaze, the two princes were like two generals, one by one, they sandwiched Mu Qing in the middle, and went very happily.
"Hong'er Can'er likes immortality so much?" the Queen Mother smiled happily.
Earlier, Mu Qing followed the two princes over, but the Queen Mother had not yet arrived, and it was strange to see it at this time.
"Changsheng has a good temperament, and he is his own family, and it is common sense that Hong'er Can'er likes it. The queen, who hadn't spoken for a long time, also smiled and said.
"I really don't hide it from my mother," Concubine Song covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Your Majesty didn't call Changsheng to come and sit down yesterday, and Can'er went back to the palace at night and chattered several times." I came together earlier this day and took out his breeze, and I still have it in my arms now. β
"Breeze...... It seems to be the little dagger sent by Pakistan?" The Queen Mother had some impressions, "Isn't Can'er the most liked, what do you do with it?"
The concubines who knew about it laughed even the people in the surrounding palace.
"Can'er said a long time ago, when Changsheng takes the leader, he will send Qingfeng out as a congratulatory gift!" Concubine Song couldn't help but smile and said, "Not only Can'er, Hong'er also prepared a congratulatory gift for their cousin Changsheng, and asked him what gift he prepared, but he still refused to say." β
The eldest prince's mother, Concubine Chu, also pursed her lips and smiled.
The three-year-old third prince stared at the black eyes, curiously looking at this and that, but he was also obedient and silent.
The Queen Mother was the happiest, smiling so much that she couldn't close her mouth, and she was very happy.
The Queen Mother couldn't stop laughing for a while, and asked Emperor Longwu: "Your Majesty, the mourning family heard that Mama Fang said that this time it is the third child of the Song family who is competing with Changsheng, and it is called Chang'an, Your Majesty, which of the two of them will win more?"
Emperor Longwu smiled and shook his head: "It's hard to say. However, the immortal skill is not as profound as Song Changan, and it is not easy to win this game. Father-in-law Fangβ"
Father-in-law Fang had already returned, and when he heard the voice, he stepped forward: "Your Majesty." β
"What are the odds outside?" asked Emperor Longwu with a smile.
Father-in-law Fang replied respectfully: "Young Master Mu vs. Young Master Song, I heard about Young Master Mu last night, one and five losses, but Fang Cai seems to have dropped to one and four dollars. β
The Queen Mother frowned: "Do they feel that Changsheng is not as good as the third child of the Song family?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, the odds are not low, last year's Young Master Song, the odds of the Young Master of the Xu family were 2.2 to 1. Father-in-law Fang bowed.
The Queen Mother nodded and didn't say anything else.
"The Queen Mother can rest assured, my cousin's previous games were very smooth, and I think this one will be as good as possible. Jian Huixin pursed her lips and chuckled, "What's more, the Queen Mother is here today, and the Queen Mother is the most blessed elder in the world, and she will definitely bring good luck to her cousin." β
The Queen Mother smiled and patted Jian Huixin's hand: "Winning or losing is a common thing in soldiers, and the mourning family doesn't care." I saw blood in that scene, but be careful, don't get hurt. β
At this time, the applause sounded again, and the two people on the stage clasped their fists and saluted around, and the first competition of the fifth layer of the heart method began.
Compared with the previous two games, Emperor Longwu was obviously much more interested in this competition, and he didn't say anything, but watched with a smile.
These two people are both fifth-level high-level mental methods, about twenty-four or five years old, and the one who looks older is still the pinnacle of the high-level. This competition is naturally a little more exciting than the previous two, and the audience's expectations are a little more from the loud applause when they first played.
The two fought more than 130 moves to determine the winner, of which both sides suffered some minor injuries, and after the judges announced the results of the competition, it was no surprise that the audience applauded warmly.
Overall, the first three competitions were as usual in previous years, and although the atmosphere was enthusiastic, it was clear that the enthusiasm of the surrounding audience had not yet been fully aroused.
As everyone knows, the last three matches are the real highlight.
As soon as the two got off the field, the contestants in the fourth game had not yet entered the ring, and the atmosphere was already faintly different, and many young men and women stood in the open space between the stands, ready to watch the next three games from a close distance.
The queen looked around, smiled and whispered to Emperor Longwu: "Your Majesty, this year seems to be more lively than in previous years. β
Emperor Longwu smiled but did not speak.
"The two of them are not bad, but it's a pity that they're still older, and I don't know when Zixun will be able to break through?" The queen glanced at Emperor Longwu and smiled softly, "It would be best if you could catch up with next year's martial arts meeting, but this is not certain, I heard that some people have a pass card for several years, just to see if Zixun has this luck." β
Emperor Longwu didn't turn his head, but smiled faintly: "The queen doesn't have to be disturbed, I know it in my heart." β
The queen smiled politely, lowering her eyes to hide the trace of bitterness in her eyes.
The fourth competition also played more than 80 moves to divide the winner, the first leader of this session of the martial arts meeting was born, as the judges raised their voices to announce the results, the applause around thunderous, the leader stood in the ring and bowed to the surroundings, jumped off the ring with a smile on his face, and the relatives and friends who had been waiting for him rushed up, raised people and threw them up, cheering loudly!
The two princes looked at the group of royal children who were celebrating warmly, and their expressions could not hide their excitement, and the white face of the second prince was also a little red with excitement: "It's time for my cousin to play!"
Song Sanshao, who was also dressed in a black suit, stood on the other side of the ring, standing with his sword in his hand, raising his chin and looking at Mu Qing here, seeing Mu Qing looking over, Song Sanshao's sneer added three points of ruthlessness, if it was a different person, maybe he would be affected by Song Sanshao's momentum, even if he was not pressed by the momentum, it would affect his mood somewhat, but Mu Qing only swept it lightly, and his eyes swept over Song Sanshao's group.
Mu Qing cast his eyes to the opposite side, Ling Zhen had already stood in the inner circle with a group of royal nobles, and Shen Nishang was still sitting in the original position with Zhang Shaohan Yuchun and his party, and did not get close.
His gaze swept back again, and he finally saw Ling Fei walking over, but the expression on his face was a little wrong.
"Your eldest brother hasn't come yet?" Mu Qing didn't notice Ling Yang's figure just now, it stands to reason that they should all come over to change their clothes and get ready to play at this time.
Ling Fei's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he shook his head, just at this moment, the judges on the stage announced the opening of the competition, Ling Fei didn't say anything, and patted Mu Qing's shoulder: "It's your turn, go quickly!"
Mu Qing bowed, turned around and stepped up the steps step by step.
Song Sanshao at that end did not move, when Mu Qing walked to the stage, he was walking towards the left side of the ring, he had been standing on the left side of the ring for the past few days, because it was closer to the entrance of the steps, and before Mu Qing walked over, Song Sanshao under the stage suddenly jumped high on dry land, and then turned around beautifully in the air, and when he fell, he was just one step ahead of Mu Qing and stood on the left side of the ring.
As soon as he stood still, Song Sanshao pulled out the sword in his hand, threw the scabbard under the stage, and his own follower stepped forward to catch it, Song Sanshao ignored Mu Qing, only raised the sword and shone it on the sun, and the cold light reflected by the snow instantly slid diagonally across Mu Qing's cheeks and neck!
"Young Master Mu-" Song Sanshao glanced at Mu Qing slightly, glanced at the position under his feet a little arrogantly, and smiled on his lips, "I'm sorry, first come, first served." β
