Early in the morning, Lan Yunxi went to the Chengde Palace. "Yun Xi see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."

"Get up, Yunxi, why are you here?" Shenyue Cangting put down the pen in his hand and looked at her.

"Yun Xi has been coming to Tianyang for a long time, but he hasn't been able to come to talk to the emperor, and in a few days Yun Xi should also return to China, so I want to come and talk to the emperor first and say goodbye."

"Are you going back?"

Lan Yunxi nodded, "Yes, it's been more than half a month since I came out, I'm afraid that my father and mother will miss my family, so it's better to go back early." Besides, Tianyang City has already been visited. ”

Shenyue Cangting was just about to ask something, but he stopped again, "Also, it's good to go back early, so as not to worry about your relatives, but I'm still worried that you won't have a good time here." ”

"No, Yun Xi felt very happy during this time. Besides, if you have the opportunity to come to Tianyang City to play in the future, won't the emperor be unwelcome at that time? ”

"Of course not, as long as you like, you can come and play at any time, after all, Frost misses you very much."

Lan Yunxi nodded, did not speak, and Shenyue Cangting did not speak again, he was waiting for her to speak first. Really......

"Your Majesty, do you know Li Anyue?" Lan Yunxi was silent for a while and then asked.

Shenyue Cangting raised his eyebrows, "Oh, Li Anyue...... I seem to have heard of it.,It's the famous little palace maid.。 ”

Lan Yunxi pursed her lips, "That...... Does the emperor know that King Qingning is fond of her? ”

"Really? I don't know very well. Shenyue Cangting calmly picked up the tea in his hand, "However, Haoqing, this child, once he identifies a person or thing, he generally can't change it." ”

Lan Yunxi lowered her head and stopped talking, and Shenyue Cangting spoke again when she saw her like this, "However, you have been living in Changchun Palace all this time, so you should also know something, what do you think of Li Anyue, a little palace maid?" ”

“…… It's a special girl. ”

Shenyue Cangting nodded, "Do you think she can be worthy of the prince of the Tianyang Kingdom?" ”

Lan Yunxi smiled bitterly, "Yun Xi doesn't know, but Yun Xi seems to be able to see that there seems to be only one woman in the eyes of the Tianyang King Lord." ”

"I thought you were a woman who didn't admit defeat."

"Yun Xi really didn't admit defeat, that's why he came to the emperor."

"Oh, looking for me? Could it be that I want to marry you and Haoqing? ”

Lan Yunxi shook her head, "Yunxi is not so useless, she just wants to lose a little more convincingly." ”

Shenyue Cangting was silent, looking at her, as if thinking about why he wanted to help her. Lan Yunxi thought for a while and said, "Doesn't the emperor want to know if this Li Anyue has such qualifications to be the emperor's daughter-in-law, the princess of Tianyang Kingdom?" ”

Shenyue Cangting looked at her with interest, "Then how do you want me to help you?" ”

"Yun Xi has only one request, the emperor only needs to make the next oracle."

After a while, a holy edict came out, to the effect that in order to connect the feelings of Tianyang and Chen, and welcome the arrival of the lord of Chen, a women's riding and archery competition was specially held in the palace three days later, so that each palace sent a woman to participate, and the minister could also send his own daughter to participate, and the winner could be rewarded by the emperor.

Li Anyue was naturally the candidate of the Shenyue Cang Court, and conveyed his meaning through Concubine Xian. In an instant, the palace was bustling with preparations for the competition, everyone had not seen a woman riding and shooting for a long time, and they were naturally very excited, and those concubines who were not favored by the emperor on weekdays also wanted to take the opportunity to show off at this time, so they were all sharpening their knives and preparing to shoot. But Li Anyue was not excited about this at all.

"Mother, slaves can't ride horses or shoot arrows." Li Anyue pleaded with a bitter face.

"An Yue, you see that Bengong is already a lot old, where can you still do these young people's things."

Li Anyue hesitated, "Then, aren't there many other sisters in that palace, they must all be better than slaves." ”

Concubine Xian sighed, a little embarrassed, "Biyun has a cold temperament, she will never participate in these things, and this palace is not good to force her." Luzhu and Ziyu, the two of them are soft and bone-on, and the palace will worry about whether they will make some trouble, and the others can't be counted on. If you think about it, you are the only one who can ask for it. ”

"The slave is just worried that she will lose her mother's face." Li Anyue couldn't refuse when she saw her like this.

"No, just do your best, originally the palace was not very interested in these things, but this time it is the emperor's will, and it is not easy to say that you can't go."

Li Anyue finally thought about struggling again, "But slaves really can't ride horses." ”

"You can't learn, you can learn to ride a horse very quickly, you are so smart, you can learn faster."

"But the slaves and maids don't have horses to practice."

"Just go back to the palace and ask the emperor to reward a horse from the stable to give you practice, don't worry."

“…… The slave and the maid obeyed. With all that said, Li Anyue had no reason to refuse again, so he could only nod and accept it silently. She walked out of the Lily Hall dejectedly, and met Lan Yunxi who came back from outside, "You want to participate in this riding and archery competition?" ”

"Yes, the mother just informed the slave."

"You don't know how to ride a horse?"

"Uh...... No. ”

Lan Yunxi was a little impatient when she saw her so imposing, "Then I just took this opportunity to practice hard, and it just so happened that the county lord also wanted to see if you had such qualifications to be the princess of Qingning." ”

Li Anyue looked at her with some surprise, and then pursed her lips, "Then please ask the county lord to take a good look, the slave must do her best!" ”

"Really? Then the county lord will wait and see. Lan Yunxi raised an eyebrow, and then left with her braids.

Li Anyue looked at the back of her leaving, her momentum suddenly dropped, she sat on the steps and was worried, she still didn't have the confidence to do this kind of thing, but now she can only bite the bullet.

"Yue'er, what's wrong with you? Staying here on your own? ”

Li Anyue saw Shenyue Haoqing, and hope flashed in her eyes, but she quickly sank down, "I'm worried about the women's riding and archery competition, but you can't help if you come." ”

"Women's Mounted Archery? Are you going to participate? Shenyue Haoqing sat down beside her.

"Well, yes, the mother said that she couldn't find anyone, so she let me participate." Li Anyue nodded with a bitter face.

"You don't know how to ride a horse?" Shenyue Haoqing asked her a little strangely.

When Li Anyue heard this question the same as Lan Yunxi, she didn't know why she became irritable, "I just can't ride a horse, what's strange, do I have to be able to ride a horse!" Do you have to be able to ride a horse to be a princess! ”

Shenyue Haoqing was taken aback by her sudden temper, and she didn't react for a while, "What's wrong, suddenly like this?" What does this have to do with being a princess? ”

"It's not relevant at all!" Li Anyue was also in a worse mood by her own emotions, and she was going to get up and leave after throwing down a sentence.

"Yue'er!" Shenyue Haoqing took her arm and pulled her back again, "What's wrong with you?" Isn't it just a riding and archery competition, so it's a big deal not to participate. ”

"No...... You don't know anything. Li Anyue lowered her head and puffed out her cheeks, and replied with some grievances.

Shenyue Haoqing pinched her cheeks, and her bulging cheeks leaked all of a sudden. "If you want to learn to ride a horse, why don't you just find this king, why bother by yourself?"

"That's right! The prince has been fighting all year round, and he must be very good at horseback riding! Li Anyue listened and was confused for a while, and his eyes shone brightly, shining and shining at Shenyue Haoqing, but after a while, it dimmed, "But...... It doesn't work, it's going to be a game in three days. ”

"Why do you need three days, this king can teach you to ride a horse in one day."

Li Anyue grabbed his sleeve happily, "Really? Don't lie! ”

Shenyue Haoqing smiled and held her hand in the palm of her hand, "Of course it's true, when did this king lie to you." ”

“…… Didn't you cheat at the beginning? When I thought of this, Li Anyue's head was full of black lines.

Shenyue Haoqing was stunned, a little embarrassed, and hurriedly changed the topic, "When do you want to learn?" This king will take you out of the palace. ”

"Of course, the sooner the better, in case I can't learn in a day." You can't learn in one day, you won't have two days, you won't learn in two days, you won't have three days, you won't learn in three days...... I can only bite the bullet.

"Even if you don't believe in yourself, you should believe that this king is, and this king said that one day to teach you is naturally a day."

Li Anyue could only nod, "Hmm...... Then tomorrow is good, I'll ask my mother later. ”

"Then the king will go and talk to his aunt."

"No, no! I'll just go on my own. ”

Shenyue Haoqing looked at her awkward appearance and was funny and helpless, so he could only touch her head and say okay. Just as he was about to walk towards the Lily Palace, he was pulled back by Li Anyue, "Lord, didn't you say that I would go and talk to Niangniang myself?" ”

"This king is just going to see his aunt and Zhe'er, what do you have to worry about?"

Li Anyue also felt that she seemed to be much more sensitive today, bowed her head, and walked towards the Tangli Palace, Shenyue Haoqing could only smile dotingly when she saw her like this.

That night, Li Anyue told Concubine Xian about this, and Concubine Xian naturally would not disagree, and Li Anyue happily went back to the room to prepare what she needed tomorrow, after all, she had never ridden a horse since she was a child.

Early the next morning, Shenyue Haoqing came directly to Changchun Palace after leaving the court, and Li Anyue also stood at the door early and waited for him. Today, Li Anyue specially changed into a narrow-sleeved dress suitable for horseback riding, and her waist was also tied with a wide belt, and the whole person looked much more energetic. Worried that the veil would fall off, I made two straps on both sides, like masks, so that they could be pinned directly to my ears. In addition to this, two homemade knee pads were tied to the knees and arms, after all, horseback riding is a high-risk sport, and you have to protect yourself.
