Li Anyue looked puzzled, scratched her head and didn't understand what was going on, seeing that the little eunuch also tilted her head and looked at her, she knew that she couldn't ask anything, so she could only sigh, "Okay, then I'll take it out first." ”

Li Anyue led the horse out, and went around looking for Lan Yunxi's figure. All the women who were going to participate in the competition had already entered the arena one after another at this time, all kinds of concubines in the palace, as well as the minister's daughter, there were at least dozens of people, and everyone was dressed differently, but they were all done to win attention. As soon as everyone saw the veil on Li Anyue's face, they knew her identity to some extent, and when they looked at her, they unconsciously brought a little different color to their eyes, but Li Anyue didn't have time to care about them.

"Yue'er?" Just as Li Anyue was stretching her neck to find Lan Yunxi, a woman patted her on the shoulder.

Li Anyue turned her head strangely, and saw Yuwen Jiaojiao dressed in light blue, and it took a while to react, so she happily pulled her and cheered, "Jiaojiao!" It's been a long time since I've seen you! ”

"yes, it's been a long time since I saw you, but you've changed a lot." Yuwen Jiaojiao looked her up and down, quite emotional.

Li Anyue lowered her head a little embarrassed, "No, it's just a change of clothes." ”

"Is your face okay?" Yuwen Jiaojiao looked at her veil and asked rather regretfully.

Li Anyue smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, it will be fine soon!" Don't talk about me, how are you? Did the queen mother embarrass you again later? ”

"Heh, it's not always like that." Yuwen Jiaojiao shook her head and smiled.

Li Anyue always felt a little strange feeling when she looked at her now, maybe it was because there were no more edges and corners between her gestures, and she was no longer so aggressive, Li Anyue didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing, "Why did you come to the competition too?" ”

"Those nobles in Yonghua Palace don't know how to ride and shoot, I used to learn some when I was at home, so I naturally came. As for you, it's quite surprising that you came to participate as a palace maid, and it's no wonder that others look at you with strange eyes. ”

"I ...... It's just that the mother said so, so I came over. ”

Yuwen Jiaojiao nodded as if she didn't understand, Li Anyue looked at the time, and there was no way to say anything more to her, so she pulled her and asked, "Jiaojiao, have you seen Lord Yunxi?" ”

Yuwen Jiaojiao thought for a while, then pointed to the right. "Lord Yunxi? Is it a woman in a goose yellow dress? I saw her go over there just now. ”

"Oh, yes, thank you! Then I'll go over first, and I'll give her back the horse, and I'll look for you when I'm free!" Li Anyue waved her hand at her, and led the horse in the direction she pointed. I vaguely heard what Yuwen Jiaojiao said behind her, but when she looked back, Yuwen Jiaojiao had already left, so she could only think strangely for a while, and continued to walk forward.

In the distance, Li Anyue saw Lan Yunxi waiting next to the fence, and there was a wild goose standing next to her in a red dress with narrow sleeves and floating skirts, and after hesitating for a moment, she still called out to her from afar. "County Lord!"

The eyes of the two over there both looked at her, and Lan Yunxi asked a little uncomfortably, "Why are you here?" ”

Li Anyue led the horse over, saluted to Luo Yan, and saw Lan Yunxi leading his horse, "County Lord, you are leading the wrong horse, this is your horse." ”

Lan Yunxi waved his hand, "No, it was deliberately left to you by the county lord." ”

"Leave it to me? Why? ”

"The county lord just doesn't want others to say that the county lord has the advantage." Lan Yunxi touched the horse that Li Anyue was leading, "Caiyun is originally a good horse for a thousand miles, and his personality is also supple, it just so happens that you have just learned to ride a horse, which is just right for you." The lord of this county doesn't want people to say that I won a race with a good horse, so he will trade your horse for use. ”

Li Anyue looked at her with some embarrassment, "County Lord, you don't have to worry so much, the County Lord has good riding and archery skills, and you don't need to worry about other people's gossip." ”

"Yes, why should the county lord of Yunxi bother so much for such a little palace maid, the horses also have their own identities. Besides, you really don't fit your identity to ride such an ordinary horse. Luo Yan also said with a smile on the side, but at the same time attracted the eyes of two people.

"This matter, I won't bother with Concubine Li." Lan Yunxi said and left her alone, "The preparation for the game has begun, and the county lord has to make some preparations, so you should also prepare well, don't lose the face of Changchun Palace." ”

Li Anyue paused, then nodded and replied, "Yes, the slave and maid thank the county lord." ”

When Lan Yunxi walked away, Luo Yan led the horse to her side, "Although you are exempt from a difficulty, don't want to compete with this palace for red flowers with you like this." ”

"Concubine Li is too worried, if Concubine Li has no other instructions, the slave will retire first." Li Anyue glanced at her, led the horse and left first.

Luo Yan looked at the petite white figure, and a thick anger rose in his eyes, "Hmph, this palace will see how long your arrogant spirit can be maintained."

The game was ready to start, and the people watching the game all sat on the high platform set up around them, and some of the high-ranking concubines in the palace and all the princes and princes were sitting next to the Shenyue Court, in addition to the Shenyue Court, there were also two people with strange faces sitting near the Shenyue Court, but Li Anyue also lowered his head after looking at it twice, because the sunlight was really dazzling.

As usual, Shenyue Cangting came to speak before the competition, as if he would say at the beginning of every Olympic Games, "Friendship first, competition second" and "Point to point". Then the eunuch read out the rules of the race: after three laps, the first person to shoot down the red flower hanging from the bamboo pole is the winner. Anyone who gets safflower in the following situations is invalid: first, the person who does not run the full three laps and wins the safflower, the second is the person who uses improper means to capture the safflower, and the third is that once the player falls off the horse, the result will be invalid.

Before the start of the race, all the riders took their positions on the racetrack, and with a "ready", everyone turned over and got on their horses. It's just that some people got on the horse neatly, and some people were so shocked that the horses ran out before they got on the horse, so the right to compete was abolished before they could start, and more than a dozen people were eliminated at once. Everyone held the reins in their hands in fear, waiting for the order.

"I announce - the game begins!"

With an order, dozens of horses galloped out like arrows, and the clattering hooves of the horses kicked up countless dust, and Li Anyue found that wearing a veil was also a very useful thing at this time. Lan Yunxi's horse is indeed a good horse, and it will soon be far ahead of many horses, which can be regarded as taking advantage of Lan Yunxi's light. However, since Li Anyue is a beginner, he naturally does not dare to let go of his steps to run, so he is only in the top few. Although the horse Lan Yunxi rode was not a famous horse, the horses selected in the palace were naturally good horses, and Lan Yunxi's imperial horse skills had always been far ahead. However, the red figure in front of Lan Yunxi was very eye-catching, and he had been ahead of everyone from the beginning, and the dazzling clothes also attracted everyone's attention.

At the beginning, Li Anyue thought it was a falling goose for a while, but when she turned her head, she saw that the falling goose was not far in front of her, and after looking carefully, she saw that it was Yu Wenyun, who was also dressed in bright red clothes, but it was even more gorgeous in comparison, the beads on the clothes were dazzling in the sunlight, and the overly pale face was also flushed with red at this time, even if a woman saw it, she would lose her mind for a moment. Li Anyue looked at her and couldn't help but feel some pity for her in her heart.

"Li Anyue! What are you thinking! Yuwen Jiaojiao was originally following behind her, but at this time, Li Anyue's absent-mindedness slowed down, so she rode her horse and asked loudly beside her.

Li Anyue was recalled by her shout, looked up and saw that they had already started the second lap, nodded to Yuwen Jiaojiao apologetically, and then accelerated the speed of the horse and chased after the people in front.

At this time, Yu Wenyun was at the front, followed by Lan Yunxi, followed by Luo Yan, and several other concubines were far behind them. Li Anyue pursed her lips, threw a whip at the horse under her, and drank lightly, "Let's chase!" ”

Soon, Li Anyue caught up with the few people in front of him and drove with the wild goose, but at this time there was a situation that no one expected. Lan Yunxi, who has been moving forward bravely, at this time her horse suddenly rose up without knowing why, Lan Yunxi was thrown under the horse without preparation, everyone was taken aback, and couldn't help but exclaim, but Luo Yan walked around lightly at this time.

Lan Yunxi fell to the ground and rolled a few times, but the horse kept jumping in place, Li Anyue secretly screamed "not good" the moment she saw Lan Yunxi fall off the horse behind her, and immediately grabbed the hanging saddle with one hand and hung her body to the side of the horse, and the people around couldn't help but be shocked when they saw her action, Shenyue Haoqing frowned slightly, and jumped out of the seat. Li Anyue reached out to pick her up the moment the horse's hooves fell towards Lan Yunxi, and with a kick of his feet, he rolled her out of the fence on the side with her, and narrowly avoided the horses galloping behind him.

"County Lord, are you alright?" Li Anyue rolled to the ground, and looked at Lan Yunxi in his arms with some anxiety.

Lan Yunxi seemed to be frightened, looking at her intently, Li Anyue thought she was scared stupid, and patted her face with her hand, "County Lord, are you okay?" Are there any injuries? ”

Lan Yunxi shook her head in a daze, and said slowly, "I'm fine, it's just ...... Yours, face ......"
