Chapter 153: Red Flower Scramble
When Li Anyue heard this, he reached out and touched his face that was a little stained with mud, it turned out that when the veil was rolling on the ground, it had been scraped off and fell to the side. Shocked, she hurriedly re-hooked the veil, fortunately Li Anyue was facing away from the others now, so only Lan Yunxi saw her face.
Li Anyue looked at Lan Yunxi with some uneasiness, "County Lord...... I ......"
"Yue'er, how is it? Are you okay? Just as Li Anyue wanted to explain to Lan Yunxi, Shenyue Haoqing landed next to her, wanting to check if she was injured.
Li Anyue pushed his hand a little embarrassed, "Lord Wang, I'm fine, I just don't know if Lord Yunxi is injured." ”
Shenyue Haoqing relieved himself and looked at Lan Yunxi, "Yunxi, are you injured?" ”
Lan Yunxi looked at Li Anyue's gaze before turning around, "Oh, I'm fine." As he spoke, he patted the dust off his body and tried to stand up.
"Ah......" As soon as Lan Yunxi stood up, she fell towards Shenyue Haoqing, and Li Anyue also hurried to help her. Lan Yunxi looked at her ankle and said a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, it seems that my ankle is sprained." ”
Li Anyue looked at her like this, and it seemed that there was no way to walk back, so she looked at Shenyue Haoqing, "Lord Wang, the county lord is injured, can you send her to the imperial doctor to heal first?" ”
Shenyue Haoqing looked at her and nodded, then picked up Lan Yunxi and walked to the healing station outside the racecourse. It was the first time for Lan Yunxi to feel the temperature and smell of Shenyue Haoqing at such a close range, but at this time, she was not happy at all, Li Anyue's undamaged and extraordinarily bright and moving face had been haunting her mind. She looked back at Li Anyue.
Li Anyue patted the dust on his body, it was a pity that the original white gauze was not made at this time, and several places were torn, and he touched the veil on his face to make sure that it would not fall off again before he exhaled relaxedly, watching Shenyue Haoqing walk away with Lan Yunxi in his arms, but he was slightly disappointed in his heart, but he shrugged his shoulders with some mockery. Looking inside the fence, there was only a brief commotion and a few runners were dismounted, but soon business was as usual, and the focus gradually shifted back to the race.
At this time, at the front, it naturally became Yuwenyun and Luoyan, both of whom were dressed in red, and there were several times when people didn't know which one was Yuwenyun and which one was Luoyan, and they only felt that the two of them were like two fire phoenixes competing for the lottery, and they didn't let each other go. The two horses, as if guided by their masters, did not give in to each other, and one followed the other, and the other pursued the other. Everyone's eyes were also attracted by the two people, and they all guessed which person the red flower would end up in the hands of which person.
In the blink of an eye, three laps had passed, and the next test was the archery of the two of them, both of whom had to shoot arrows on their horses to shoot down the red flowers hanging on the top of the middle mast. Yu Wenyun took the lead in shooting an arrow, pointing directly at the red flower, and everyone thought that this jackpot would definitely be taken away by Yu Wenyun. At this time, another arrow suddenly shot out, but it was not aimed at the red flower, but the arrow shot by Yu Wenyun was missed, and it was intercepted impartially before Yu Wenyun's arrow hit the red flower, and the maturity and sophistication of its technique was very surprising, and several people couldn't help but applaud.
Yu Wenyun glanced at Luo Yan with some surprise, but soon drew another arrow and shot it at the red flower again, impartially tying the ribbon with the red flower in the middle. Disappointingly, however, the saffron only shook a few times, probably because the arrow was not strong enough to pierce the ribbon.
Luo Yan had already put the arrow on the bow at this time, glanced at Yu Wenyun, and said with a smile, "Second Imperial Princess, I really want to thank you." ”
As he spoke, the arrow broke away from the bow and shot towards the red flower, and unsurprisingly, after the red flower was shot, it fell steadily, and this red flower competition came to a result.
As soon as the safflower fell, a eunuch immediately ran over to lift the safflower and announced loudly, "The winner of this women's riding and archery competition is Li Concubine, Luo Yan!" ”
When other people heard the loss overflowing, Li Anyue was also quite disappointed, although she herself did not have the opportunity to win the red flower, to be honest, she preferred the Yuwenyun of the person who won the championship rather than Luo Yan, maybe she was always hostile to Luo Yan in her heart.
"Please come forward and listen to the prize!"
Luo Yan chuckled and glanced at Yu Wenyun, and rode out of the racecourse. Then he dismounted and walked to the stage where the Shenyue Cangting was sitting, "The concubine has seen the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
"Hahaha, I never knew that Ai Fei was so good at riding and archery!" Shenyue Cangting laughed a few times and said, "When I saw it today, I realized that all of my harem concubines were so good at riding and shooting. Aifei, what reward do you want? ”
Luo Yan lowered her head and smiled, "The concubine is up to the emperor, as long as the emperor is happy, the concubine is willing to do anything." ”
Shenyue Cangting thought for a moment, "Since that's the case, then I will make you a concubine!" Wu Yong, pass on my message, Concubine Li can ride a goose and shoot well, is a beloved, very heartfelt, today special Jin named her as Concubine Li, and rewarded a night pearl of the southern tribute. ”
"The concubine is grateful to the emperor for his reward." Luo Yan listened to the joy in his heart, but there was no change on the surface, just prostrate on the ground and buckle his head.
"Also, tonight, in order to welcome the prince of Qi to envoy to Tianyang Kingdom, a state banquet was specially held to entertain the envoys of Qi and the county lord of Yunxi, so that the three states would be friendly together!"
The will of the Divine Moon Court was conveyed from one level to the next, spreading all around the racecourse. When the other concubines heard the news that Luo Yan was promoted again, all kinds of different voices came out, and the so-called envy, jealousy and hatred were all concentrated.
Compared with the news about the falling geese, Li Anyue is more concerned about the news that comes out later. The two people sitting next to the Shenyue Cangting, one was a middle-aged man with a mustache, who also seemed to be in a high position, but it should not be the prince of the Qi Kingdom, because there was also a young man sitting to his left, sitting closer to the Shenyue Cangting, wearing gorgeous clothes, with the arrogance of a teenager and the domineering spirit of a king between his eyebrows. Li Anyue couldn't help frowning when he looked at him, the gaze of the prince of the Qi Kingdom actually fell on the body of the kneeling wild goose below at this time, and the Shenyue Cangting didn't know if he didn't see it, he still looked relaxed.
Li Anyue lowered her head and patted the dust on her body, only to notice that the palms and backs of her hands had been scraped by the stones on the ground with several thin cuts, although it was not very serious, but it was also a little stinging. She frowned, went to a nearby well to fetch water, and saw that there was no one around, so she took off the veil on her face, washed her dusty face, and quickly put it back on when she was done, soaked her hands in the water, and carefully washed the dirt on it.
"An Yue."
Li Anyue heard the call, raised his head, and saw Shenyue Haotian standing in front of him, and stood up in a little panic, "His Royal Highness the Prince?" When did you come......"
"I just arrived, how are you ...... Are you hurt? Shenyue Haotian was startled by her sudden stand-up, smiled, and was about to ask her why she was so flustered, when she looked down and saw several distinct cuts on her wet and white hands, and her eyes couldn't help but show melancholy.
Li Anyue looked down and smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's okay, I should have accidentally rubbed on the ground just now, it's fine." As he spoke, he looked for a handkerchief in his hand, but he didn't find it for a long time, probably because he came out too quickly in the morning and left it behind. was about to shake it off, but Shenyue Haotian suddenly held her hand.
"Your Highness?" Li Anyue looked at him with some surprise, and just wanted to withdraw his hand, but he couldn't pull it out because of the increased force of Shenyue Haotian.
"Don't move." Shenyue Haotian said gently, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and said while helping her wipe her hands seriously, "If the wound is not treated quickly, it will be very troublesome if it is infected." Although it is a small wound, it should not be underestimated. ”
Li Anyue looked at him with a serious look, and couldn't help laughing, "How can Your Highness be more careful than the slave maid, who is a woman, the slave maid is really embarrassed to listen to." ”
"Are you making fun of Your Highness for being like a woman?" Shenyue Haotian is the right color road.
Li Anyue hurriedly shook her head, "The slave doesn't dare, I just think His Royal Highness is really an approachable and good prince!" ”
"Don't be nervous, I'm just kidding you." Shenyue Haotian couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this.
Li Anyue smiled at him gratefully and took her hand back, "Thank you, Your Highness." But why did His Highness come here? ”
Shenyue Haotian watched her, and from the beginning, his eyes had been following the white figure, and he had always paid attention to her when everyone was cheering for the saffron winner. When he saw her making such a dangerous move on the horse, he couldn't help but clench his fists, for fear that something would happen to her, and seeing her land safely, his heart felt like a big stone had been put down. He wanted to get to her, but his identity was blocked, and the person who was always one step ahead of him still went over and grabbed her first. When he saw her left alone, he didn't know whether to be happy or distressed, because he saw her somewhat confused movements, and he patted the dust and walked away alone, like a child who had been left behind. When it was over, he took the time to leave, and looked for her in the direction she was going, and saw her squatting there washing her hands, and the picture made him feel so warm.
Hearing her question, Shenyue Haotian smiled, "It's nothing, I just came over to say hello when I saw you here." ”
