Chapter 228: Undercurrents are surging! It happened suddenly.
Erjin brand clock, there is a crash state, please forgive the little daughter-in-law.
Sorry, girls, it's late......
------Off topic------
At the beginning of the summer, Qiqi followed the prestige, and saw that Wulan Mingzhu's horse that was originally riding well seemed to be stimulated and going crazy, and it was no longer under her control at all. In a burst of screams, carrying her suddenly rushed out of the original venue, running directly towards the main seat, and its raised front hooves were stepping on the same frightened Queen Mother-
Something sudden, as fast as electricity.
"Mother, be careful!" Immediately after, countless people on the field shouted.
"Ahh Someone exclaimed.
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a long "neighing" of horses from the field.
"The queen is virtuous! Concubine Hui has superb riding skills, and the reward is self-deserved. β
The Empress Dowager didn't expect her to care at all, nor did she expect her to ride a horse into a donkey, let alone that she would ride a horse and come to ask for a reward for Concubine Hui, so she smiled with an unpredictable expression.
"The Empress Dowager, you can prepare a reward for Concubine Hui."
Xia Chuqi rode slowly, observing the expressions of the people sitting on the main seat, and the smile on the corner of his lips seemed a little yin in the dim light.
Privately, there is anything to say.
"My Dayan daughter is on a horse, how does it compare to the grassland daughter? It's clearly ...... The long is better than the short, and the victory is not martial. β
"Concubine Hui is really good."
"Yes...... It's better to go back to eating and drinking. β
"The victory and defeat are clear at a glance, so I don't think there is a need to compare, right?"
People who originally thought that the two would collide fiercely were slightly disappointed.
Although this is a comparison of riding, it is not about speed. But at the beginning of summer, the seven horses were ridden into little donkeys, and their leisurely appearance and riding skills were not at all.
Xia Chuqi observed, and also squinted with a smile.
The posture of the Ulan Pearl is beautiful, regardless of the style and difficulty of the horse, it is almost perfect. I have to say that she is really a beauty on the horse, and the appearance of getting on the horse is a little more brilliant than when she got off the horse.
"Driving...... ...... driving"
Although the queen's riding skills are not good, her mentality is really good.
She teased herself like a joke, which made the onlookers amuse.
Xia Chuqi stood still, looked at the person and horse in front of him with a smile, stroked his horse's hair, and said with a smile, "Little Red Horse, let's go too." Don't worry, anyway, we can't compare to Concubine Hui, the right to be a green leaf lined with saffron, walk slowly ......"
"That's amazing."
Today, Xie Shangshu, the military department, temporarily served as the task of the arbiter, and was ordered by the Empress Dowager. As soon as he raised his hand, he gave the order. And the Wulan Pearl, who originally looked down on the seventh day of the first summer month, shook the reins, and with a delicate "ride", the horse galloped out under the crotch.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Xie Changjin with a smile.
"Give the order, I'll have to eat and drink later."
There is only one action on the horse, and the height is immediately visible. As long as you have a normal brain, you can see that in addition to her good mouth, this queen lady is not in the same rank as Concubine Hui in terms of riding, and there is a difference between Xiao Wu and Xiao Wu.
"The concubine is ready, give the order."
Wulan Mingzhu slowly pulled his lips, and the afterglow swept over Zhao Mianze, who couldn't see his face clearly not far away, and stepped on the horse's back with an extremely vigorous and graceful movement, shaking the reins.
She praised. It didn't seem to see the mockery in Wulan Mingzhu's eyes, and he was not ashamed of his actions when he was in the saddle, and stroked the horse with his palms one by one, smiling very proudly.
"Good horse!"
Xia Chuqi raised his eyebrows, took the horse in the driver's hand, stroked the horse's mane, and saw that it turned its head to lick her hand, tame and well-behaved. She couldn't help but smile slightly, patted it soothingly, and then rode into the saddle awkwardly with the support of Jia Yi.
"Mother, your horse."
When the seventh day of the summer passed, the positions were already arranged, and the onlookers were sitting or standing, forming a circle. And Wulan Mingzhu, who was wearing a riding costume, was waiting for her, taking off a gentle palace dress, she was indeed very like a grassland daughter, looking heroic and sassy, which made people can't help but praise.
By this time, the horses and the riders were ready, but the venue was some distance from the banquet to avoid dust and food.
The feast of Ucha was held on the school grounds.
~
But she wouldn't know. If it weren't for her, he would have 10,000 ways to take revenge, 10,000 ways to make her life worse than death.
She still has affection for him in the end.
Looking at the figure that was getting farther and farther away, a heart in Dongfang Qingxuan's chest was still beating violently. And her sentence "If it weren't for you, I would have 10,000 ways to clean her up" echoed in his mind like a spell.
At that glance, there was absolutely no good feeling.
After she finished speaking, she slowly withdrew the steel needle and put it back into the lock with a smile. He left without looking back. Qinglan and Jia Yi followed, and after walking a few steps, Jia Yi suddenly glanced back at Dongfang Qingxuan.
"Dongfang Qingxuan, if it weren't for you, I would have 10,000 ways to clean her up."
Her description is chilling, but her smile is as enchanting as a nightshade that blooms in the night, with three points of ridicule, three points of seriousness, and three points of threat...... There is only one point for Dongfang Qingxuan's affection, which is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.
"The poison on this steel needle is much more powerful than a hook kiss or something." Xia Chuqi smiled coquettishly, "But I have a good heart, and I won't hook and kiss the kind of poison that kills people at once." will not be willing to let people die instantly. I like to let people slowly, be poisoned, lose their ability to live, rot their bodies, and then peel off their self-esteem and pride as a human being little by little, so that she wishes that she was never born and has never seen me......"
"The peony flower dies, and the ghost is also romantic."
"Well, do you still like it?"
"Really?" Xia Chuqi smiled slowly, stopped, approached him sideways, between the lightning and flint, no one knew how she made her hand, and a small steel needle pulled out of the "lock love" had already reached Dongfang Qingxuan's waist.
"Miss Seven, you are more and more like this seat."
Dongfang Qingxuan's figure was stunned, and his bewitching face was choked by him, and it took a while to outline an embarrassing smile.
"Thank you!" Xia Chuqi smiled lightly, "The Metropolitan Governor has also refreshed my lower limit again and again. Oh, no, that's wrong, it's the sister of the Grand Duke. β
"Miss Seven, you have really impressed this seat again and again."
Behind her, he chuckled.
Dongfang Qingxuan paused and followed quietly.
She had a bulging belly, walked slowly, and walked slowly.
Frowning slightly, she was about to stagger, "Since the horses are all arranged, then I don't have to worry about it." Go first. β
Xia Chuqi didn't know what to regret, but he could probably understand his position in his heart, the blood relationship between brother and sister, it was really difficult to really ignore it. What's more, she didn't ask him to ignore the position.
It's a pity!
Xia Chuqi thought, if Dongfang Amur not only has the same beauty as him, but also has his aura and charm, why don't you make Zhao Zhu dizzy?
This Dongfang Qingxuan is really a goblin.
The night wind burst out, the corners of his fiery robe flew, and his white face looked complicated and embarrassed because of a touch of gloom or embarrassment. But even so, it didn't damage his face at all, and it was still shockingly beautiful.
Even, in front of her, he didn't know how to justify himself.
Obviously, he didn't expect that Xia Chuqi would figure out the key in such a short period of time and link the matter of the school field with Amur.
Dongfang Qingxuan's body stiffened.
Yin and Yang snorted weirdly, she raised her eyebrows, and said with a slow smile, "Dadu Dudu, I have never taken the initiative to provoke people, the principle is that I am a kind, beautiful, broad-minded, rare good person in ancient and modern times." However, I really won't condone people who hurt me again and again, and still want to pay the price. β
Xia Chuqi could understand it, but thinking of his repeated connivance and maintenance of Amur, so much so that Zhao Shijiu was injured and he almost died in the school, he couldn't help but be a little angry.
The worry in his words was not concealed in the slightest.
"So why be shorter than a while? You know your body. β
He was referring to Zhao Mianze, Xia Chuqi heard it, and couldn't help laughing, "Who said you want to ride if you care?" β
"I thought you didn't care about him anymore."
"Of course."
With a chuckle, Dongfang Qingxuan's demon eyes narrowed slightly, as if she approached her side easily, but her voice was obviously much lower, "You really want to ride a horse?" Compete with her? β
"It's easy to say, it's all Mao friends, and they should be on it."
Xia Chuqi's eyes sank, full of smiles.
Dongfang Qingxuanfeng's eyes flew obliquely, and his smile was gorgeous, "Only Niangniang is allowed to go to the thatched house, not to be under this seat?" β
"What is the Governor doing?"
Xia Chuqi was very surprised to see Dongfang Qingxuan here.
"Niangniang is so worried? Even the horse has to be chosen in person? β
Before she could take a step, she heard a familiar laughing voice. Immediately after, a few people walked from the direction of the stable. The one at the front, the fiery red demon figure, the smile on his face was as bright as a spring breeze.
"Queen Mother!"
"Little lover, it's not easy for people to come out late and steal chickens and dogs, so leave a way for people to live. Let's go! β
Qinglan glanced at her, clenched her fists, and was about to go over to find out, but Xia Chuqi grabbed her wrist violently, and she smiled lowly.
Xia Chuqi turned his head and smiled, "You still need to ask, it's naturally human." β
Naturally, no one would answer in the bushes.
The wind blew softly and brushed across their faces.
"Who?" Qinglan asked in a low voice.
She yawned, and before she could close her mouth, she saw a rustling sound in the shadows of a bush, as if something was rushing in at a very fast speed.
In the distant stable, there was the sound of horses scratching.
The seventh day of the summer month walked very fast, the sky on the black screen, the occasional lantern spark, illuminated the road black miserably, and there was not much light.
Previously, Wulan Mingzhu said that it was better than riding, and a guard had already gone to the stable to lead the horse. It's just that one has to be given to the queen and the other has to be given to Concubine Hui, so you can't just pull two horses out. The choice of nature should be a good horse, and it must be equipped with a new saddle.
Naturally, it won't be her turn to pick a horse.
She found that there was no more honest person in this world than herself, but the more she told the truth, the more difficult it was for people to believe. After listening to it, the Ulan Pearl stood there and did not move for a long time.
Xia Chuqi looked back and smiled, "I can't wear it." β
Wulan Mingzhu was slightly surprised, her eyes flashed, "Niangniang is not changing her clothes?" β
"Well, I don't have good riding, I have to pick a good horse."
After molesting a man, do you want to flirt with a woman? Qinglan lowered her head, and Jia Yi's face darkened, and they all felt ashamed of their master. But Xia Chuqi didn't care, no longer looked at Ulan Mingzhu's ghost-like expression, and turned straight away.
"The beautiful woman's hands are very slippery and tender, and I like it very much."
But whether it was Wulan Mingzhu, or Qinglan and Jiayi, no one thought that she would silently buckle Wulan Mingzhu's wrist for a while, and then let go of her with a smile.
The lantern on the wall, the light is not too bright, and in the breeze swaying, her pretty little face seems to reflect some shadows and lights of the trees. It's bright, it's dark, it's bright, it's hard to guess what she's going to do.
Xia Chuqi sighed, his fingers still clasped her wrist, silently examined her face, and stopped talking.
Wulan Mingzhu's eyes darkened, "There is nothing terrible about concubines. β
Xia Chuqi smiled, "It's just a narrative, what are you afraid of?" β
Her face changed, "Niangniang, what are you going to do?" β
That Ulan Mingzhu doesn't know her deeply, and she only knows one of them, but she doesn't know the other, where will she know that she is a master who doesn't play cards according to reason, and she will make a public move.
"Beauty, stay behind!"
Xia Chuqi snorted, and grabbed her wrist when she passed by herself. Slowly turning his head sideways, he learned to be domineering and smiled evilly at her.
What do you mean by "let"? It's like he's been bullied so much.
"The mother wants to change her clothes, and the concubine should let you. Mother, please. With that, she walked over with her head held high.
"The Queen's Mother, Jin An." She bent her knees slightly, didn't give a big salute, and didn't wait for Xia Chuqi to call her up, she straightened up and looked at her, looking deferential, but the sourness in her words was quite strong.
The person who came out was the Ulan Pearl who was supported by the maid.
"Shouting for mercy at every turn, making it seem like I'm a murderer, aren't you hurting me?" Xia Chuqi smiled unreasonably, muttered to himself, and the door of the dressing room of the golden silk nanmu was pushed open.
"Queen Mother, the slave is wrong. Mother's life! β
That little girl was not the personal girl next to Ulan Mingzhu, but was sent to serve later. She is not from Beidi, but from Dayan, and her loyalty to the Pearl of Ulan is naturally not as much as that of Beidi. Hearing this, she was so frightened that her face turned white, and she quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Huh!" gave her two dry laughs, and the beginning of Xia was happy, "Concubine Hui is inside, so I can't go in?" Hey, I haven't figured it out yet. By the way, what's the name of your little girl, I'll ask Your Majesty to send you over and teach me the rules well, how about it? β
"Queen Mother, Concubine Hui is still changing clothes inside......"
After saying that, she was about to break in, and the little palace maid said hard.
Xia Chuqi raised his hand, "Get up." β
"Queen Mother!" The eunuchs and palace maids in the Wulan Pearl Palace saw Xia Chuqi coming over and hurriedly asked for peace.
Xia Chuqi was stunned, his eyes slid down his still scarred face, and he swept somewhere as if there was nothing, and then suddenly realized that he let out an "oh", and walked straight to the changing place with a narrow smile.
Jia Yiban had a straight face, "I'm a eunuch." β
Xia Chuqi snorted, "Aren't you afraid to see what you shouldn't see?" β
Jia Yi frowned, "Not an inch." β
Xia Chuqi smiled and tilted his head, "Boss A, avoid it." β
When she led Qinglan and Jia, who were wearing eunuch uniforms, to pass, she saw a maid and a eunuch in the Wulan Pearl Palace guarding outside the dressing room from a distance.
The East Garden is a big place, but the changing area is not far from the school grounds.
It is said that the first three months of pregnancy and the last three months of pregnancy are the most unstable times, and she is now five months pregnant, relatively speaking, it is indeed the most stable state. But if she wants not to be ashamed, and she wants to protect the child, she can't be careless, let alone be caught in other people's conspiracies.
Xia Chuqi went to the toilet, and did not return to the seat, but slowly walked around to the changing place prepared for the concubine in the East Garden.
~
Everyone had their own movements, and most of them laughed, only Amur, who had been deflated before, had no emotions on a cold face, and obviously had not yet risen from the haze.
Zhao Mianze also had a smile in his eyes, and the pampering did not hide it at all. Although the Empress Dowager was also smiling, the string of sandalwood Buddhist beads in her hand turned more quickly. There were words in her mouth, and her mind was obviously fluctuating, and she was asking the Bodhisattva for help.
I have to say that Miss Xia Qi's humor is really pleasing. The straightforward and unpretentious behavior of a female man has won the favor of many neutral people. For a while, the laughter on the seat was everywhere, and the seat was reopened, and there was laughter and excitement.
She said it seriously, but there was a "whoosh", and the audience burst into laughter.
"It's natural to laugh, and if you hold it too hard, it's easy to fart. I'll go first, and you're welcome to laugh at me! β
Xia Chuqi also sighed, glanced at Zhao Mianze's constipated face that was choked, the corners of his lips turned up, and his eyes turned to those on the field who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, but their faces were red.
At such a large banquet of many people, she directly and indecently said "thatched house", without using more obscure words, her approach as a queen made people stunned, and some people couldn't hold back and laughed muffled.
"Although you don't have to change clothes, you still have to go to the thatched house."
Xia Chuqi turned around and smiled at him.
"Where's the Queen?" The voice of inquiry came from Zhao Mianze.
As soon as her graceful back left the table, Xia Chuqi slowly stood up and prepared to leave.
Wulan Mingzhu was stimulated by Zhao Mianze's indifferent gaze and lost half of the three souls and six spirits, and his heart was uneasy, and when he heard that he was only blessed, he led the palace people to change clothes.
Glancing at her, Xia Chuqi sighed in a low voice, "It's not easy to get points, and you can do it and cherish it", so she didn't bother to talk to him anymore, only maintained a noble posture of pretending to be forced, and said to Wulan Mingzhu with a smile, "I like to wear this Chiguli skirt recently, and I am reluctant to take it off for a moment." Therefore, there is no need to change the riding costume, Concubine Hui is please. β
She hadn't said that the points could be negative.
What a negative score is, he doesn't quite understand. But after he was with her, his comprehension ability was different from others. The approximate meaning of negative scores can also be deduced from the word roll, and a handsome face suddenly darkened.
Zhao Jun glanced over and was slightly stunned.
"Negative points, get rough."
Xia Chuqi smiled disapprovingly, his eyes glanced at Zhao Zhu's face as if he was nothing, seeing that he was neither nervous nor enthusiastic, he only regarded the wine in the cup as a lover, and he was in love with it, as if he didn't care much about her, he couldn't help but grind his teeth secretly, and his mouth spit lightly.
At the banquet, the wine and delicacies were still being sent in waves, and the voices of praise were still coming and going, and among those who applauded, the mentality of watching a good show was naturally not less.
There was a sound of praise on and off the stage, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, and the envoys of Beidi had their own opinions, but all of them praised Xia Chuqi's tolerance and tolerance that he knew that he was invincible and still had to fight.
"The queen mother is the world, this is everyone's style."
"The queen has a point."
"Your Majesty!" Xia Chuqi interrupted his plea, sat steadily, looked at him with a smile, stroked his hair casually, and said with a smile, "Thanks to the love of the Empress Dowager and Concubine Hui, although the contemptible people are not talented, and the riding skills are even worse than those who are not loved by cats and dogs, but the Empress Dowager is right, entertainment is just entertainment, the emphasis is on participation, and I don't value winning or losing." Cheng, compared to Bei, the doctor who can't ride a horse is not a good woman, yes. β
Zhao Mianze's expression was grim, "Imperial grandmother ......"
"Emperor!" Without waiting for her words to finish, the Empress Dowager interrupted suddenly, took the conversation, and said with a smile, "That old monk of Daochang has always been speechless, and he may not be true to everything. We don't have to make a fuss, what kind of catastrophe? What is unknown? As the old saying goes, people will win the day, is it possible that there is Emperor Dayan in charge, and he can't stop the small night? Besides, it's just entertainment, and it doesn't matter if you win or lose. The concubines are compared, if the queen retreats from the battle, how will she lead the six palaces in the future? β
Under the gaze of everyone, she went down and said apologetically: "It is the concubine who is presumptuous, I hope that Your Majesty and the queen will forgive the sin, and the concubine will choose another ......"
She knew that the queen's riding skills were not as good as herself, and she picked her out to compete, the desire to compete for favor was too obvious, he annoyed her, right? But he could never understand that she was only in love with him...... Wulan Mingzhu smiled bitterly, no matter how much unconvincing and complaining, it was not easy to export again.
In Da Yan, Zhao Mianze has always been gentle and polite in getting along with him for so long, even if he is not too enthusiastic and affectionate towards her, he is polite and thoughtful at all times, and there is no place for her husband who is not what she expects. And at this moment, she clearly found anger and even disgust in his eyes.
Zhao Mianze obviously defended Xia Chu's words, and everyone in the audience could hear it, how could she not understand? She was aggrieved, sad, sad, and unconvinced, but when she met his slightly cold gaze, she couldn't even take care of the above emotions, and there was only one leftβfear.
Just said that this Ulan Pearl, my heart suddenly twitched.
What the people on the field think will not be said for the time being.
Everyone was stunned, Zhao Mianze didn't look at them, only stared at Wulan Mingzhu, and his voice was sharp, "The queen has a catastrophe, and it is already inappropriate to travel, if you forcibly participate in the competition again, I am afraid that there will be an ominous omen." It was just for entertainment, and there were so many people in the field, Concubine Hui picked another one. β
She was about to respond, but before the words came out, Zhao Mianze said in a calm voice, "Concubine Hui, let's choose another person to compete." β
But no matter what, people put on a posture and called for battle, and she couldn't refrain from fighting.
However, Wulan Mingzhu is still a little "tender" in the end, and when she first came to the Dayan Dynasty, she really didn't understand that she was not a good stubble in the seventh day of the summer month. In other words, she had heard rumors about Xia Chuqi, but she thought very highly of herself and disagreed with her.
It seems that in her heart, she really regards her Xia Chuqi as a rival in love.
Even if she doesn't say that she is pregnant now, as far as the strengths of the Beidi people are riding and archery, Wulan Mingzhu openly picked her out to compete, obviously to make her admit defeat and ugliness in front of everyone.
There is a saying that "people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden", Xia Chuqi was a little strange about whether he was the legendary "heroine's physique", right and wrong are constant, and disasters are continuous. finally kicked one of the "phase rats" down, and the other phase rat actually came out again.
