Chapter 1060: Awesome
"Awesome, Your Highness!" She cheered in a low voice.
A moment later, Lu Shi arrived here on horseback, she was alone, and she saw the sign on the ground at a glance.
Above, the maid and the prince hid behind the battlement, and watched the woman below get off their horses and pick up the "thirty-three" sign.
Li Zhi sighed and whispered, "Let's go." β
The two came out from behind the corner wall of the bell tower, the prince walked in front with a strutting step, the maid followed behind, and the two were separated by a distance of five paces, and finally got into the palace car.
β¦β¦
At Xing'anmen, the guards guarding the East Palace demanded that LΓΌ show her number plate, and LΓΌ took the "Three Hundred and Twenty-One" number from the saddle and handed it to them.
The men put down the sign and let her out.
There was some gloom outside the east wall of the East Palace, but Lu's heart was very open, she not only took a shortcut, but also had her original brand in her hand.
And Lu firmly believes that Yang Lizhen's background must be not small, and someone led her to cheat. Then it is not surprising that she dared to line up with the sign she found.
Lu Shi thought, who knew that the surname Yang actually lost the No. 33 brand, she must have just run over from here, and there was no problem with coming to this road.
She followed the knight's guidance and ran all the way to the Taimiao, and sure enough, there was an east-facing avenue.
Almost all the people who moved in the city were outside the city, and there were almost no people on the streets. The Lu family galloped on horseback, and soon came out of the Chunming Gate, and the Tonghua Gate five miles away to the north was the end.
The track was quiet as the crowd rushed to the front, ready to welcome the first arrivals of the second group.
There is no stand outside the Chunming Gate, because there is no point to see, not far from the north is the end of the Tonghua Gate, and people are near the stands on the side of Guangyun Pond.
Lu Shi hurriedly inserted himself into the avenue and trotted forward half a mile, only then did he tie his original No. 33 brand to the saddle and beat the horse up.
Looks like she's about to win the first place in one fell swoop! No, it's the second place, there should be Yang Lizhen in front of her, this girl ring is cheaper! But the second place is also very good.
The grandstand by Guangyun Pond is on high ground, and the horses can start sprinting as soon as they arrive here. There were a lot of people here, and Lu didn't see anyone who arrived before her.
She didn't have time to look at the stands, and whipped her mount twice, and Gao Bai, the chief steward of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, selected for her this timid and fearful racing horse, actually had to achieve amazing results under the command of Mrs. Qianzhou Thorn Shi!
The end is in sight!
The tall stands had been renovated in this effort, and they were once again full of spectators, but they were much more honest and sat peacefully, except for the people on both sides of the track who began to jump and shout again, cheering on those who came first.
They shouted so wildly, "Surpass her!" Surpass her! Surpass her! Surpass her! β
The Lu family looked forward and couldn't see Yang Lizhen's shadow at all, so who did she surpass?
But behind her, a sudden sound of hooves was heard, and two people galloped past hers, almost side by side! Lu Shi saw that the one on the left was Fan Ying, and the one on the right was Siqing.
Lu Shi was a little shocked, if the whole track was counted as ten percent, then she almost took sixty percent of the advantage. But it still made the family surpass at the last moment.
And the person who surpasses her is none other than Fan Ying and Siqing, the third and fourth ladies of Gao Jun.
It turns out that people are shouting for them to surpass themselves! So she wanted to finish fourth, but on the next less than two miles, three more people passed behind her.
The second group of competitions saw two first-place finishers.
Fan Ying and Siqing slowed down in unison before the finish line, neither wanted to be faster than the other, the two horses stopped on the outside of the finish line, and the people on the horses pushed each other.
Siqing said, "Who is not the same in the past, in short, the champion is not out of Yongning Fang." β
Fan Ying said, "Then why don't you go over?" β
As he was talking, Chu Suiliang personally ran over and urged, "Go over together, count you as tied!" β
Lu Shi, a side room from Qianzhou, was the sixth, and she didn't see Yang Lizhen among the winners, and she felt very strange.
She heard that the first place in the second group would be rewarded with three hundred taels of silver, ten fine silks, and a good horse, and five fine silks for the sixth place. She thought about how she would take these five silks in the future and go back to Qianzhou with her eyebrows raised.
But at this moment, two Ouchi guards arrived on horseback and whispered to Chu Suiliang.
Lord Chu looked at the Lu clan and ordered, "The third group of the first competition, in front of so many envoys, it is inconvenient for us to make a noise, but afterwards the official will personally return to His Highness!" β
Lu guessed that most of what they said was not a good thing.
Because after the third group started the gong, not only did no one award her the five fine silks, but also solemnly inspected her "33" position plate, reminding her not to leave Chang'an without an order.
There were more people in the third group, 818 bronze medalists, and the scene was even bigger, but Lu didn't have much heart to watch.
When the fourth group came on the field, she was surprised to find that Yang Lizhen seemed to be deliberately riding a horse and dangling past her eyes, and greeted her with a smile.
Yang Lizhen's saddle was hung with a bamboo sign, and the Lu family only felt that the world was spinning, what was going on? She felt like she was being calculated.
β¦β¦
In Ziwuyu, he made a special trip to visit Master Chu, a regular servant of Taizhu Gao Shenxing, and accompanied by Ling Shi, a prince surnamed Xu of Zhan Shifu, he walked to the courtyard next door to Gao Shenxing, and came to find the Lu family.
Lui has been restless since he returned from yesterday's race, not knowing what to expect.
Xu Lingshi asked her, "Mrs. Lu, there are guards in the East Palace who said that you passed through the West Inner Garden during the horse race, but is there such a thing?" β
"My lord, someone led me through, otherwise how would I know!" Lu Shi replied, "Are there any bad consequences for this?" β
Ling Shi said, "Of course it's very serious, Madam Lu, you know, the West Inner Garden, that is where only the emperor, the crown prince and the palace with the token can walk." If the palace maid exceeds the system, she will at least be killed by the inner servant! β
If not at least, then what?
Lu Shi shouted, "Adults help, I said that someone took me in, and I have been here from Qianzhou for a few days, and I am not familiar with the track!" β
"Who took you? Did he say what was his name? If you speak out, no matter who it is, we will not tolerate it! β
But Lu Shi couldn't answer, he was so nervous that he couldn't even recall the knight's appearance, "But no one stopped me, the guards guarding the door checked my sign and let me go, if I said that I exceeded the system, it was also the first time that the guards exceeded the system!" βγ
Prince Zhan Shifu Lingshi is just a third-class outsider, he still has a lot of respect for Mrs. Ru of Qianzhou Thorn History, and when he heard this, he took out a silver plaque and asked her, "But this side?" β
He deliberately pointed the back of the sign towards Lu, but Lu immediately said, "That's it, I remember it's brand 321!" β
Ju'er asked, "Mrs. Lu, I remember that I brought you the thirty-three." β
Xu Lingshi flipped the silver medal, and sure enough, it was engraved with the number that Lu said, "So, Mrs. Lu, have you admitted anything?" β
Lu Shi shouted, "I didn't admit anything, what I said was the truth!" β
Master Chu came over "by the way", and said very little, and it was still the Ling Shi who said, "But this is the sign for palace people to enter and exit the Forbidden Palace, and it is not a horse racing license plate at all." Xia Guan knew that there were only 320 people with silver medals in yesterday's horse race...... Madam, where did you get the 321st Palace Forbidden Waist Card...... To impersonate? You have this thing, and the guards guarding the door are not responsible! β
Lu Shi said without thinking, "I picked it up in the open space outside Cuiwei Palace!" β
Ling Shi looked at Master Chu, "The matter is already very clear, no wonder Bu Zheng calculated that there was a woman at the Beigong Gate who exceeded the system, and it turned out to be Mrs. Lu." β
Lu Shi wanted to ask again, whether the matter was very serious. But she couldn't speak, wasn't it serious to be beaten to death with a stick? By the time she came to her senses, the two adults had already gotten up and left.
They did not say their decision on this matter, and it was precisely because of this that the more Lu thought about it, the more afraid he became.
As a lady of Gaofu, she came all the way from Qianzhou to participate in Marseille, gave up her position brand, and then used a sign she picked up to pretend to enter the Forbidden Palace.
The only thing that can be said to be suspicious about this matter is the knight who ran out halfway, but the vast sea of people has nowhere to prove it.
In addition, she can't doubt that it was Yang Lizhen's frame, the 321 brand is only somewhat similar to the silver medal of horse racing, and it is not forced to give her by others.
Besides, there are many palace people in Cuiwei Palace, and it is inevitable that some people will lose their waist cards, but when the Lu family's actions spread to Qianzhou, it is estimated that even the high trial line will not believe it.
Even he would suspect that the Lu family had other plans, and when this kind of thing spread, the high-ranking judge with an excellent face estimated that he would not forgive her.
After Lord Chu and Xu Lingshi left, the six gods of the Lu family were left without a master.
When the sound of people walking in the street came from the street, she thought that some internal servant had come to arrest her, or simply came with a stick and killed her with a rod in this courtyard. She was so frightened that she hid in the house and cried.
The Lu family didn't dare to run away from the crime, and he couldn't run away even if he knew it. As long as she runs, the identity of Mrs. Shiru, the Qianzhou Thorn, will be completely yellow.
In the evening, she crossed the courtyard to Gao Shenxing's side, he was Taizhu, and he was very proficient in etiquette matters, she wanted to ask for details.
However, Gao Shenxing also did not give her reassurance, he said, "The system is like a wall, and it is insurmountable to set it up there." But the fifth sister-in-law, you are jumping off the wall! Where is it bad to jump off a wall? Why don't you jump over the wall of the Great Inner Forbidden Palace? Who knows what you're doing? β
"Someone led me in!" Lu insisted.
"Fifth sister-in-law, if you don't have an exact witness, you have to be cautious!"
The Lu family wanted to go to the Xinglufang Gaofu to cry and see if anyone was compassionate in the face of the Gaoxianxing, after all, once this kind of thing is decided, the shame must be the entire Gaofu.
But she didn't know anyone in Xinglufang's Gaofu, and it happened that Ju'er was going back to Yongningfang again, so Lu begged, "Take me to ask for a few young ladies." β
Ju'er said, but Mrs. Liu has already gone to Quanzhou, who are you going to beg? Usually, these people don't ask about official affairs. She pondered,
"If Mrs. Cui is in Chang'an, there may be some way, she knows a lot of people and has enough face, but she will leave as soon as she hears that you are coming."
Ju'er didn't take her, so the Lu family gritted his teeth, rode on a horse and followed, and went to the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department in Yongning Fang together.
Ju'er went back first, and the Lu family waited at the gate again, and there was no last time.
The eight ladies in the mansion were celebrating at home at the moment, because Fan Ying and Siqing suddenly took back the tied first place in the second group. The prize for the horse race was six hundred taels of silver, twenty fine silks, and two good horses.
If Liu Yu is not there, it is simply equivalent to no control, these people are letting the kitchen buy a sumptuous wine and food, eating and drinking together.
After listening to Ju'er's words, Cui Yan said with the strength of wine, "Let her go, run from Qianzhou to Chang'an to embarrass people, and bully my mother away, I can't manage it!" β
Several people talked about it, they had already seen each other, they couldn't make up their minds, and they all forgot to let the Lu family in.
Fan Ying agreed with Cui Yan's opinion, "I said that she was not in the 33rd position that day, so she took a shortcut!" Lirong said in a loud voice, ignoring her.
Xie Jinlian and Siqing were worried, in case this matter made a big fuss, it would be a matter of the entire Gao Mansion, "The Lu family knows how much money is a pound of money to lose people?" Can Xinglufang Gaofu and Yongningfang Gaofu stand it? β
Xie Jinlian said, "Otherwise, let's go to Xinglufang and ask for ideas." β
Li Wanqing said, "I mean to think about ideas in Yongning Fang first, and then say that Sister Fan is not related to Master Chu, go and ask." β
Fan Ying said again and again, "If I go, I will beg Uncle Chu to add more firewood and sweep this person out of the house, and then we will invite my mother back from Xizhou, that would be the best!" β
Several people told her a clever plan, urging her to get up quickly.
Su Yin meant to wait a little longer on this matter, because according to her, Lord Chu only came forward to talk about this matter with a non-ranking Ling Shi of the Prince Zhan Shifu, which was a lot of thought.
If the situation is really serious, then it will not be necessary to wait until the Lu family runs to Yongningfang and detain her. What does this mean?
Lilan said, maybe this is the trick of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, with the relationship between Lord Chu and Jun, although Jun is not at home, if it is really serious, it is estimated that Lord Chu should also come to the house to talk.
The crowd said, "That's right! Now that we have found Lord Chu's mansion, it seems that we are at a loss, and we will not move! We came to drink with static braking. β
Everyone drank again, and after the third round, they remembered the Lu family outside the door, and Lirong asked, "What should she do?" β
No one spoke, they all squinted at each other wondering who "she" was. Siqing asked rhetorically, "What would Sister Liu do if she was at home?" β
β¦β¦
This time when he came to the palace, the prince unexpectedly did not let Yang Lizhen avoid it, but unintentionally talked to Wu Meiniang and Yang Lizhen about the Lu family's private entry into the forbidden palace.
"She's so bold, no wonder she would say that."
Wu Meiniang looked at the prince and asked with a smile, "But what did she want to do when she took advantage of the princess's horse race to break into the north gate of the East Palace?" β
The prince didn't answer, glanced at her, and motioned for Yang Lizhen to be next to him, so Wu Meiniang asked another person,
