Chapter 151: Women's Mounted Archery Competition
So he was busy surviving, and of the seven or eight dishes on the table, only the sweet and sour pork ribs were made by Li Anyue himself, and the others were all from Shenyue Haoqing's hands.
Jin Susu looked at the dishes on this table and was full of joy, "Yue'er, I didn't see that you are so capable!" Lord, you will definitely not suffer a loss if you marry our family Yue'er! ”
Li Anyue coughed and looked at Shenyue Haoqing with some embarrassment, Shenyue Haoqing did not object, just smiled and nodded. Li Anyue simply stopped talking, and smirked.
"What kind of rice is this, it's so delicious!" Lin Yuanqing took a bite of the rice in the bowl and couldn't help but give Li Anyue a thumbs up.
Li Anyue immediately smiled, because in addition to sweet and sour pork ribs, she also made this rice herself, and when I was watching a TV series before, I happened to see someone making a yam rice, and I thought it was feasible, so I learned to make it myself. The rice has not only the fragrance of yam, but also the sweetness of fish juice.
The other two also gave Li Anyue a thumbs up after eating a few bites, Li Anyue covered her cheeks and laughed stupidly, and also picked up the dishes without saying a word, her eyes lit up as she ate, and she secretly gave Shenyue Haoqing a thumbs up. People say, "If you catch a man's stomach, you will capture a man's heart", but it turned out that his stomach was caught by others first.
Next, Lin Yuanqing and Jin Susu, who didn't know what was going on, both praised Li Anyue while eating, and also instilled Li Anyue's various benefits to Shenyue Haoqing, Li Anyue saw Shenyue Haoqing's inexplicable smile, and could only laugh awkwardly, only eating silently without speaking.
Li Anyue stayed in the garden until dark before she was reluctant to say goodbye to Lin Yuanqing and Jin Susu, and then entered the palace through the back door of the palace, changed the black eagle and Qinghong who came back early, sorted out the clothes, and returned to the palace.
"Miss, why did you practice so late today?" As soon as I arrived at the gate of Changchun Palace, I saw Ke'er squatting at the door, waiting for her to come back.
Li Anyue smiled embarrassedly, and after a while, he said, "Yes, isn't it tomorrow the competition, of course you have to practice hard." ”
Ke'er was quite moved, nodded and comforted her, "Miss is learning to ride a horse so hard, tomorrow will definitely impress those who look down on people!" ”
"The one who looks down on people with dog eyes?" Li Anyue looked at her incomprehensibly.
Speaking of this, Ke'er was very angry, so she poured it all out to Li Anyue with a grunt, "Yes, those little palace maids with many tongues have always said that young ladies eat swan meat these days, and they also said that it is disrespectful for young ladies and little palace maids to also participate in the competition...... Anyway, there are all kinds of things to say, and it makes people angry when they hear it! ”
Li Anyue smiled helplessly, "It's okay, they also have their own ideas when they say these things, just let them say it, anyway, I don't care about their opinions." ”
Ke'er listened and advised her unconvinced, "Miss, you are always so gentle, you will be bullied to the head!" ”
Li Anyue shook her head, "Ke'er, you remember, what they say is their business, but if they really dare to bully me, of course I won't stop there, and you don't have to worry about me." ”
Ke'er looked at her and nodded firmly, "Miss, I believe in you!" Let's get inside quickly, Concubine Xian is waiting for you to come back! ”
"Wait for me? Is there something you want to command? ”
"I don't know, I just told me to wait for you at the door, and then let you go to the Lily Hall when you come back."
Li Anyue nodded, and could only go to the Lily Hall in doubt. Concubine Xian was sitting there waiting for her, with a set of clothes at hand, and when she saw Li Anyue coming in, she beckoned to her, "An Yue, you're back, come here." ”
"Yes, sis. Does the mother have any instructions? Li Anyue walked over and stood next to her.
"Tomorrow is the women's archery competition, are you ready?"
Li Anyue nodded hesitantly, "The slave is ready, although it won't guarantee that she will get you the red flower, but it won't lose your face, don't worry." ”
"It's okay, Bengong is not worried, Bengong naturally believes that you will not disappoint Bengong. Hongu called you here to give you this riding and archery suit, and I don't think you have a set of clothes for horseback riding. Biyun did as she was told, handing her the riding outfit on the table.
Li Anyue smiled a little embarrassedly, "Thank you, Niangniang, there is no need to break the bank." ”
"You go out to represent the face of Changchun Palace, and a good dress is a must."
Li Anyue could only nod when she heard this, "Yes, what Niangniang said is that the slave and maid thank Niangniang." ”
"Actually, this matter is still the palace reminded by Xi'er, you should also thank her."
Li Anyue's heart moved and nodded, "Yes, the slave knows." ”
"Okay, you've worked hard these days, go back early and rest, and get ready for tomorrow's game."
Li Anyue nodded, took the clothes and went back to Meilou, put the clothes aside and packed up and prepared to rest. Tomorrow's race is not about winning the race, but I have to finish the whole race.
Early the next morning, Li Anyue was woken up by Ke'er's hurried knock on the door, and put on a veil in a daze before going to open the door for her, yawning while talking, "Ke'er, what's wrong, ...... in such a hurry"
Ke'er saw that she hadn't woken up yet, so she was anxious, "Miss, why did you get up, Lord Yunxi is about to leave!" ”
Li Anyue's nerves tightened, and she suddenly lost her sleepiness, "Why is it so fast?" Didn't you just start the game? ”
"The competition does start at the end of the day, but the women participating in the competition have to prepare half an hour in advance, that is to say, miss, you only have a quarter of an hour to prepare now!" Ke'er reluctantly explained to her.
Li Anyue exclaimed, "Ke'er, go and help me fetch water, I'll go change my clothes!" ”
Ke'er promised to bring back the washing water to her, Li Anyue kicked her out, took off the veil and washed it, changed her clothes, and casually changed the riding and shooting clothes given by the virtuous concubine next to the bed, and didn't bother to tie her hair in a bun anymore, so she tied a big braided hair on the back of her head, and then folded it with a ribbon to tie it up to her waist. Then the veil was tied and clamped with a hairpin to make sure that nothing was lost, and then he hurried out of the room.
Ke'er, who was waiting outside, was already anxious, and when she saw Li Anyue coming out, she couldn't help but pick up Li Anyue and ran downstairs to the gate of Changchun Palace. The two of them hurriedly caught up with Lan Yunxi, who was about to set off.
Lan Yunxi is still wearing a yellow narrow-sleeved satin skirt today, and she hasn't changed much, when she saw Li Anyue hurriedly running out, her face moved, the white riding suit Li Anyue wore was very in line with her temperament, her arms and waist were wrapped with white thin straps, outlining a wonderful curve, the loose hem skirt swayed lightly with her running, and a pair of white riding boots were replaced on her feet, with the veil on her face, the whole person was like a fairy who stepped into the mortal world. Although I wanted to praise a few words in my heart, I only said lightly, "You are really slow enough." ”
Li Anyue eased her breath slightly, "I'm really sorry, the slave maid got up late, is the Yunxi County Master waiting for the slave and maid to leave together?" ”
"Not really!" Lan Yunxi retorted without thinking about it, "This county lord just doesn't like to go there early and wait, since you're here, let's go together." ”
Li Anyue secretly stuck out her tongue, waved her hand at Ke'er, and followed her footsteps. The two didn't say much along the way, they still followed one after the other, and after a long time, Li Anyue remembered what happened last night, "County Lord, that, the slave wants to thank you." ”
"Thanks for what?" Lan Yunxi walked in front and asked, without looking back.
"This dress, the mother has told the slave maid, thank you for the county lord's thoughtfulness."
"Oh." Lan Yunxi replied in a low voice, and then said, "This dress suits you quite well." ”
Li Anyue looked at the straight back of the woman in front of her and smiled secretly, and felt that this girl was really arrogant and cute, could it be that those eldest ladies have such a personality, and they are so embarrassed to say a good word, Yuwen Jiaojiao is also like this. Thinking of Yuwen Jiaojiao, it seems that I haven't seen her for several months, I don't know if she is doing well, whether she has come to participate in this competition.
Lan Yunxi noticed that the person behind her had not moved for a long time, and couldn't help but glance back at her, and found that Li Anyue was walking at an extremely slow speed with her head down, and couldn't help but have a black line on her head, "Are you taking a walk?" When you get to the place, the game will be over. Li Anyue came back to her senses when she heard the voice, and hurriedly trotted to follow.
When the two arrived at the racecourse, many of the women had already changed their costumes and led the horses out. Lan Yunxi went to the stable by herself one step ahead of her, Li Anyue looked at it while walking, and later found that Lan Yunxi was gone, so she quickly quickened her pace and went to the stable.
Before the start of the race, all the horses in the race are kept here and fed uniformly, so that the occurrence of unfairness can be reduced. But when Li Anyue walked to the stable, she saw that there was only one horse left alone, and it was not her horse, but Lan Yunxi's. After searching the stables for a long time, but there was no sign of the other horses, he could only hold the eunuch who kept the horses and ask, "Excuse me, have you seen a brown horse?" It's very ordinary, just with the words 'Li Anyue' hanging on the horse's neck. ”
"Li Anyue?" The little eunuch looked at her, and then flipped through the red belt around Lan Yunxi's horse's neck, "Isn't this the three words Li Anyue written on it?" ”
"But ......"
