Chapter 396: The Contest Begins
Xiao Li's father-in-law had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Zhengrong coming, he hurriedly walked over, "Ouch, Miss Li, are you here?" Our family was ordered by the emperor to take you to the martial arts field. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Zheng Rong got off the horse and hugged his fist at Xiao Li's father-in-law, "Let Xiao Li's father-in-law wait for a long time." ”
Xiao Li's father-in-law saw that Zhengrong treated him so politely, and smiled, "Where is there a long wait, our family has only just arrived, Miss Li came early today, and our family hasn't waited long!" ”
Zheng Rong knew that he was lying, how could an inner servant like them who led the way step on it?! However, she didn't pierce it, but said to him, "Then it's bothering Father-in-law Li to lead the way." ”
Xiao Li's father-in-law looked at Zheng Rong's dress and behavior, this is like a little boy, and he naturally understands in his heart that this Miss Li is dressed like this for the convenience of the competition, but I don't know if the emperor will care......
When Zhengrong came to the martial arts arena, there were already many people on the martial arts arena, but Princess Yurun and Song Zizhou did not come.
Zheng Rong followed Xiao Li's father-in-law to his seat and sat down.
Many people have already seen Zheng Rong's outfit, so although it is strange, it has not caused much of a sensation, and Emperor Jingxiao will naturally not come until everyone has come.
Zhengrong sat down, naturally a palace maid brought her tea, she just took a sip, and saw another group of people coming from the northwest corner.
The man in the front who was dressed in black clothes and gold was not Song Zizhou who was in Zhengrong's room last night, Zhengrong thought of getting up in the morning and seeing the slap mark on his chest, and secretly scolded in his heart, "Color!" ”
But his eyes were still unconsciously attracted by him, and Song Zizhou saw Zheng Rong's gaze at a glance and smiled lightly at her. Under the gaze of many people, he walked over and sat down beside Zhengrong.
"Why didn't you wear the hairpin I gave you?" Song Zizhou asked.
Zheng Rong glanced at him, and then pointed to the short hit on his body, "I'm going to try it today, the hairpin is too heavy, and it's not very suitable." ”
Before the two could say a word, Xiao Li's father-in-law wiped his sweat, trotted over, and said to Song Zizhou, "Prince, your seat is over there......"
Song Zizhou glanced at him, and for the first time felt that he was so blind.
He said to him, "It's okay, I'll just sit here for the time being." ”
Song Zizhou spoke, and even if Xiao Li's father-in-law was in a hurry, he didn't dare to refute. had no choice but to retreat and stand aside, thinking about whether Manager Zhou would punish him when he came later.
When the hour was approaching, Princess Yurun was late, and she also changed into a Jurchen riding costume today, looking shrewd and capable. Surrounded by a group of people, he walked towards Zhengrong, glanced at Zhengrong, showed a surprised gaze, and then sat down on the seat opposite Zhengrong.
"Miss Li's outfit is really peculiar."
Zheng Rong smiled at her, "I think the princess is here, and I haven't been out of the Great Xia Dynasty yet, right?" There are still a lot of people dressed like this in my Great Xia Dynasty, but I have never seen a princess dressed like this.
Although Princess Yurun had never gone out for a walk with a big grin, she was in a carriage when she came to the capital, and she still looked out a few times through the window. She's seen her dress like this, but it's obviously a man's dress, that's why she said that.
However, Princess Yurun did not fight with Zhengrong much, in her opinion, no matter how much she said, it was not as good as seeing the real trick under her hands, and it was more realistic. But looking at this Miss Li family's dress, it seems to be the same thing, I just don't know if she is embroidered with fists or has real kung fu.
When it was time to arrive, Emperor Jing Xiao stepped on a little bit as always, and the shrill voice of Gonggong Zhou spread throughout the entire martial arts arena, "The emperor has arrived!" ”
Both the ministers and the chamberlains present knelt on the ground, "Greetings to the emperor!" ”
Emperor Jing Xiao walked slowly from the prostrate crowd, came to his seat at the front, sat down, and then exhaled, "Zhongqing is flat." ”
Zhengrong has changed from a modern person who knelt to the sky and knelt to his parents at the beginning, to an ancient man who now sees kneeling as usual, thanks to Emperor Jingxiao.
She stood up as usual, sat back in her seat, and heard Emperor Jing Xiao ask, "Li Aiqing, why are you dressed like this again?" ”
Before Zheng Rong had time to sit down, he simply turned around and hugged his fists and said to the emperor, "If you go back to the emperor, the ministers are just for the convenience of the competition, and the women's clothes of my Great Xia Dynasty are really a little cumbersome to wear." ”
Emperor Jing Xiao remembered the dress of Zheng Rong yesterday, if it was just a comparison of archery, it would be okay, but if it was a competition, it was really a little unplayable.
Then he nodded, "That's it, then I'll allow you to wear this today." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Song Zizhou who was sitting next to Zhengrong, "Fourth, why did you sit there?" ”
Song Zizhou clenched his fists at Emperor Jing Xiao, "Back to my father's words, I was worried that Miss Li would be nervous about the competition, so I sat down and talked to him." ”
Hearing his reason, not only Emperor Jing Xiao was stunned, but Zheng Rong was also stunned, she roared in her heart, Miss Ben is not nervous, okay?!! What a excuse!!
Emperor Jing Xiao was also very helpless in his heart, but he thought that Zhengrong, a young woman who had not yet reached the end of her life, would inevitably be nervous in front of so many ministers, so he acquiesced.
He glanced at Zhou Ningfu, Zhou Ningfu understood, walked out and said to everyone, "Since Princess Yurun and Miss Li have already arrived, then let's start the competition!" ”
"This archery competition is divided into three rounds. In the first game, it is to hit a fixed target, ten arrows per person, stand in the specified position, and the one with the most arrows wins! ”
"In the second game, it is still a fixed target, but the distance has to be retreated by fifteen feet! This game depends on the eyesight of the two. ”
"The third game is to hit the moving target, the two rode horses from this end of the martial arts arena to the other end, and someone will throw things out from time to time in the middle, and the two hit more things, then the win. It's a game of reflexes. ”
"In addition, for the sake of fairness, the bows and arrows used in this competition are all provided by the palace, what objection do you have to the two?"
Zheng Rong shook his head, "No." ”
Princess Yurun asked, "I don't know what was thrown out in the third game?" ”
A mysterious smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Ningfu's mouth, and he looked at Princess Yurun and said respectfully, "Princess, you will know what is going on when the time comes." (To be continued.) )
