Li Zhi asked, "Which one is your sister?" ”

Yang Lizhen looked at the martial arts with his eyes, "far away in the sky, close in front of him,"

Wu Meiniang was shocked in her heart, Yang Lizhen said this a little abruptly, I don't know what the prince's reaction was.

But listening to Li Zhi, he just snorted and said, "You're not stupid, you invited such a good master and pulled relatives, but the three-year period was changed to one year!" ”

Yang Lizhen looked at her sister-in-law, and said with some pampering and coquettishness, "Your Highness, the slave is too stupid, so I have to work day and night, but will Your Highness allow my sister to teach me to read every day and night?" ”

Li Zhi took a look at Wu Meiniang and found that half of her face was covered by green silk like mist, her eyebrows were lowered, as if she didn't care, but she was listening attentively.

He said, "This ...... Why do I need to agree, Your Majesty has already decreed that she can stay here. ”

Yang Lizhen said again, "Then, tonight, Your Highness, you don't have to rush back to Chang'an, right?" ”

The Royal Palace is a place that Yang Lizhen has never dreamed of before.

Here, she is like a rabbit who accidentally broke into someone's vegetable garden, and she was delighted and confused in the face of inexhaustible radishes and greens.

It would be more reassuring to have another rabbit with her.

But the prince changed color and said, "You are bold!! ”

Yang Lizhen jumped up and stood with her head bowed, her face pale with fright, without a trace of blood.

And Wu Meiniang sat there and couldn't move, pinching the pen rod vigorously in her hand, but a few fingers were no longer perceptible.

Li Zhi said, "Anxi Hall is a widow's palace, I want to stay here, I can leave if I want to, how can you allow a waiter to arrange!?" When will the widow come, will he tell you first? ”

"Slave...... The slave knows her mistake! ”

Wu Meiniang wants to listen to what the prince will do next to deal with this Yang Gong person who doesn't know the importance and dares to talk nonsense.

But Li Zhi didn't say anything, but called her a "waiter" in anger, which was forgiveness.

Until the prince strode out, Yang Lizhen's fear still stayed in the prince's tone, and he was stunned by his sharp words.

But the martial artists were not as panicked as Xiao Yahuan.

Rather than being left to fend for himself in the deep palace by the old emperor without paying attention, it is really not as good as being noticed by the young crown prince, that is, the future emperor.

Although the prince's attention to her was deliberately concealed by him.

His gaze had brushed over her several times in such a short period of time.

She even smelled the smell of a stag, like a peach blossom in full bloom, and suddenly felt the wind of the butterfly's wings that had not been there for a long time.

Her situation at this time is really inferior to Yang Lizhen, although she is a hundred times stronger than Yang Lizhen.

The prince returned to Chang'an less than a day before rushing back to Cuiwei Palace again, and when he returned to Anxi Hall in the evening, he actually talked about the major events in the court to them.

Li Zhi said that Li Deyu, the eldest son of the Duke of Weiguo, who was implicated in Li Chengqian's case, was reinstated from the penal colony in Lingnan to Guizhou on the same day after his request and the emperor's nod.

The prince said casually, saying that there should have been someone around Wei Guogong to serve, but there was really no suitable vacancy in the left state capital of Chang'an for a while, so it was just a transition for him to go back to the state temporarily.

Wu Meiniang could hear that the crown prince was showing off his strength, and he could make a long-time exile become a governor with just one word.

And yesterday, he had just scolded Yang Lizhen for her mouthful, and today he forgot the rules and told them about such a big thing.

This doesn't seem to be the prince's forgetfulness, nor is it a casual remark, because the prince did not punish Yang Lizhen for her abruptness, but today, he is more kind to Yang Lizhen.

Such earth-shaking power makes Wu Meiniang, who is also lonely and has nothing to rely on, look forward to and look up to with tens of millions of awe.

Because this kind of thinking was formed in the blasphemy that her cousins did not care about her and her mother after her father's death.

She gave the prince a very adoring fervent hope, and clasped her hands together, and boldly said to the prince, "Oh, Your Highness! ”

Li Zhi looked at her with a smile, and his appearance was not pretentious, so he asked her, "What do you have to say?" ”

Wu Meiniang said, "His Royal Highness's Bodhisattva's heart and thunderbolt methods have shocked Mei Niang." If a mortal is the master of His Royal Highness, then there is no need to be afraid of any grievances! ”

The prince thought for a moment and asked, "You are the sister of the widow, so you can't have any grievances...... But do you have grievances? ”

Wu Meiniang wanted to speak and stopped, Li Zhi encouraged, "You speak boldly, let me see who ate the leopard's gall!" ”

But the woman quickly thought about it in her heart, and immediately replied, "Your Highness, I, I have no grievances. If so, I'll talk to Your Highness. ”

The prince could see that her hesitation was entirely due to his unfamiliarity with himself, but he could not encourage her too much to continue.

But such a conversation already made him very happy.

When Chu Suiliang mentioned Li Deyu to him, he specifically mentioned Gao Jun, the secretary of the military department, and the master-apprentice relationship he had just established with Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo.

This is the reason why he made up his mind to intercede for Li Deyu.

Otherwise, with just an old and precarious Duke of Weiguo, Li Zhi did not need to be so anxious in this matter.

The move of reviving a traitor and making him the governor of Gui Shi is not small, which not only gives Lord Chu face, but also reflects the prince's compassion for the old ministers and his closeness to the new military secretary.

Li Zhi has never doubted his father's way of employing people, he just needs to show favor to Gao Jun.

Gao Jun was born in a high family, but he did not have the arrogance that ordinary illustrious people often have.

He stood up in the court, low-key and calm, but the atmosphere of the court discussion changed because of him.

Li Zhi found that the relationship between Zhao Guogong and the king of Jiangxia County, who had been secretly fighting the cow all along, suddenly improved a lot.

Gao Jun never makes any remarks easily, even if it is within the scope of his duties, if he is not asked, he rarely speaks.

However, the war in Goryeo advanced steadily, and the situation of the battle was under control.

Regarding the battle report from the front, Li Zhi only had to ask, "I don't know what the military department means?" ”

Gao Jun was able to give the right advice immediately, and every time Li Zhi felt that there seemed to be no better answer than that.

The way to control people lies in attaching equal importance to grace and power, and grace should not be taken lightly.

The prince chose to restore Li Deyu, the son of the Duke of Weiguo, at this time, and almost the apprenticeship with Gao Jun happened on the front and back feet.

He believed that whether it was a courtier or Gao Jun, he would definitely know what he was trying to express.

Since the emperor arrived in Cuiwei Palace, there is nothing more than the stability of the court and the military and the harmony between the courtiers to show the ability of the crown prince.

When mentioning Li Deyu to the emperor, the emperor nodded in agreement after a little thought, which was recognition.

At this moment, facing Wu Meiniang and Yang Lizhen, Li Zhi mentioned another thing:

"Next month, Chang'an will hold a women's riding competition, do you want to participate?"

Yang Lizhen immediately rejoiced, "Really? That sister must participate, and I will help then! ”

Li Zhi turned to Wu Meiniang and asked her, "I don't know what you mean?" ”

Wu Meiniang hesitated and said, "But where can I do it?" ”

Li Zhi said, "It's okay, as long as you want to participate, then I will arrange a master for you, nearly a month and a half, with your qualifications, you don't have to worry about not being able to learn, and few people think that you will definitely not fall behind in the event." ”

The prince's words vaguely expressed praise for her, and Wu Meiniang asked softly, "I don't know who can participate?" ”

"In order to advocate the wind of riding for the whole people, of course, there are three religions and nine streams! From a first-class woman to a small jasper, anyone can participate. ”

Wu Meiniang said, "It's just ...... It's just that so many people are messily mixed together to compete, and it's always a little messy and not good-looking. ”

Li Zhi pretended to say suddenly, "Yes, Master Chu is drawing up a detailed competition method, I didn't ask in detail, but what you said is very reasonable." Tomorrow I will take care of Master Chu, and I will divide a few groups according to the identity of the contestants, but how to divide them into good? ”

Wu Meiniang said, "I haven't thought about this, but it's not long in a month and a half, I think, if I practice riding, I'm afraid it will start tomorrow." ”

Li Zhi said, "Okay. ”

Wu Meiniang grabbed her sister-in-law Yang Lizhen again, and said to her in a begging tone, "You must also participate in the competition." ”

Without waiting for Yang Lizhen to agree, Li Zhi immediately said, "Okay, she will also participate", and then hurried back to Chang'an overnight.

After the prince left, Yang Lizhen still excitedly said to her sister-in-law, "It must be a big bustle!" But can I really participate? ”

Early the next morning, the young riding teacher solemnly selected by the prince for them entered the prince's palace.

He is from the Warden Riding Department, and he is a master of the lower rank of the ninth grade, his name is Wu Weiliang, he is not tall but stout.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally summoned him, arranged for him to do things, and taught the palace people riding skills, which was an honor.

But when he entered Jinhua Gate excitedly and saw his "student", he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Because one of his "students" is his sister-Wu Meiniang.

This sister of his clan is in the deep palace, although she can't mention pampering, she can always say that she has no worries about food and clothing, and she is not entangled in the complicated palace fight.

Therefore, in Wu Weiliang's opinion, in addition to being more and more amazing, she can no longer find other more suitable words to describe it.

When Wu Meiniang saw her brother, she did not introduce her sister-in-law Yang Lizhen, so Wu Weiliang could not express it further.

He humbly asked the martial artists when they planned to start studying.

Then he said to Wu Cai with a little intimacy, "At the beginning, it is best to choose a well-tame horse...... It would be a little better that way...... The lowly position has been selected for talent, and it is outside the Anxi Palace. ”

But Wu Meiniang looked at the horses and said, "This horse can't wilt and wilt, do you still think I am a child?" The prince wants me to compete, but you find me a cradle. ”

……

Regarding this grand event in the near future, the women in Gao Jun's family also had a heated discussion.

After Cui Yan and Gao Yao went out to practice horses and returned home, they excitedly said to Liu Yuru at dinner:

"Sister, you all have to get involved, the women of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War can't ride horses, and it will make people laugh when they say it."

Outside Chang'an City, the avenues of the mountains and villages are full of young women practicing riding, and they all learn about the events personally advocated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Cui Yan and Gao Yao had just ridden to Lishan.

Because it was summer, there was no royal family in the warm soup of Lishan, and they saw from a distance that there were also palace maids riding horses on the evergreen road on the sunny side of Lishan.

Changqing Road is very flat, you can gallop horses, and there are clean and majestic pavilions to rest, if it weren't for Cui Yan to stop it, Gao Yao would have wanted to run in beyond the limit.

Liu Yuru said with a smile, "With Sister Ying and Siqing here, where it seems to be us, I won't go." ”

Fan Ying said, "Sister, don't worry, Siqing and I will definitely follow behind you at that time, and we will never exceed your horse's head." ”

Liu Yuru said, "Then I can't run ahead?" Those who participated in the competition are not all my sisters, and they know that they are polite to me, so instead of me being embarrassed, it is better for you to let go and fight. ”

But Liu Yuru's support for this matter is obvious, because she said that Gao Bai should prepare horses for everyone.

Lirong said to her sister Lilan in private, "Let's also step up our practice, this kind of excitement is not common." ”

Su Yin feels that he often rides horses for business these days, and he can adapt to riding on mountain roads, which should be considered a bit basic.

She won't come out in this kind of thing, she will always look at what Liu Yuru means, and then she will figure out what Siqing should do.

She saw that Siqing had already been tempted, but she was not as eager as Fan Ying, so she said, "I'm going, I can't think about the first place, but I won't end up in the end." ”

Later, Gao Jun returned home, and these people asked for his opinion again. Hearing him talk about the grouping of the event, even Liu Yuru was moved.

The prince proposed that this women's riding event should be divided into four groups according to the identity of the participating women.

The first group is the wives and wives of courtiers of more than three ranks. The princes and princesses, the duchesses and wives, and the wives of the chief officials of the three provinces and six ministries of Xingdaofang are all in this group;

The second group is the family members of the fourth, fifth, and sixth rank officials, as well as women with considerable titles.

The third group is the seventh to ninth grades.

The fourth group is the women from the outcast officials to the ordinary people, who will also be divided into one group to compete.

Each component takes the first name and does not mix with each other, so it can be clear why Liu Yuru is motivated.

The officials are not young when they are mixed into the third grade, and most of their wives are in their fifties, and there are only a handful of them who can be the same age as Liu Yuru.

At this time, she also had a bit of a competitive spirit, thinking about what ranking she would get if she went.

Gao Jun also encouraged her to participate, and she said, "Then you have to choose a horse for me yourself, and I will try." ”

Gao Jun immediately nodded and said, "You don't have to choose, in terms of human nature and foot strength, what horse is comparable to charcoal?" ”

Liu Yuru was worried again, "It's good, but the charcoal fire is the strongest, I'm afraid it won't work, don't let it take it off and make a fool of yourself." ”

Fan Ying said, "Sister, don't worry about yourself, how could Tanhuo do such a stupid thing!" ”

This is the event proposed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and this matter does not contradict Gao Jun's proposal for a national ride, and he encourages everyone in his family to participate.

Liu Yuru will definitely be classified in the first group because of her identity as Mrs. Yaoguo, while the others are county monarchs, so it is natural that they should be placed in the second group.

In this way, no matter which group the tall family is in, the ranking will not be too backward, and Fan Ying and Siqing still have hope of coming out on top.

However, Su Yin reminded that she was inspecting the construction situation at the construction site in Meridian Valley today and saw that two young women in the prince's palace also came out to practice horseback riding.

And there was a young jockey on their side, thinking that they would also participate in the competition.

And there is a young beauty in it, whose identity is a talented person.

"So how do we behave when we play?" she asked. Do you want to let the palace people? ”
