Chapter 230: The Birthday Banquet Competition
Great Xia Kingdom, Imperial Garden. The sun is shining and the view is pleasant.
Today's Imperial Garden, a change from the tranquility of the past, is full of people, passionate and lively.
Today is the fiftieth birthday of Emperor Duanmu, at this time of the year, the whole country celebrates, the palace of the Great Xia Kingdom, will hold a birthday banquet, very lively.
Emperor Duanmu was a very enlightened emperor.
The reason why he took advantage of the opportunity of the birthday banquet to hold so many activities is actually to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than two aspects.
On the one hand, he took advantage of this opportunity to enhance the relationship between the emperor and the princes and ministers.
On the other hand, observe your own princes and grandchildren, and comprehensively examine the successor.
It's just that sometimes the idea is good, but in reality it often backfires, and the result is not so ideal.
The event that is being held now is a competitive competition.
Competitive competition, the main competition skill.
The content is rich and colorful, including piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery, wrestling, archery, equestrian and many other sports.
For each project, there is a special assessment and evaluator, and the corresponding prizes are also very rich.
In addition to the prizes, there is also the certificate of Emperor Duanmu's handwriting, which is the most worthy of showing off.
Those who participate can choose their favorite project to participate.
Hua Weiyang doesn't have many things, and in all the projects, she seems to only be able to play the piano.
However, this does not stop her enthusiasm and courage to participate in various events.
Especially after she luckily won the first prize of the couplet, she was even more like a chicken, full of interest and high morale.
Now she is eager to try and participate in a few more projects.
In fact, those rich prizes are nothing in her eyes.
However, this kind of fun of experiencing the game, for Hua Weiyang, is new and exciting, which she has never experienced.
Duanmu Fusu was very happy to see that everyone was interested, and said:
"In competitive events, everyone can find what they like, and the prizes are also very rich."
"When the time comes, don't forget to treat the winners, the goal is the whole sheep banquet on the first floor."
Jingyang Shenjun shook his fan and smiled: "Can I choose Wanhualou?" ”
Duanmu Fusu smiled: "Of course you can, I'm afraid that someone won't agree." ”
Jingyang Shenjun smiled: "Whoever disagrees, I am anxious with him." ”
Yan Wan said with a straight face: "Jingyang, that kind of place is not the place you go." ”
Jingyang Shenjun smiled cheaply.
Duanmu Fusu looked at the dignified and beautiful Yan Wan, and asked softly:
"Yan Wan, what project do you want to participate in, I'll accompany you."
Yan Wan's beautiful eyes looked at Baili Lechuan.
Baili Lechuan took Hua Weiyang's little hand and said excitedly:
"Let's go, Weiyang, I'll accompany you to the competition."
Yan Wan looked at Baili Lechuan who was holding Hua Weiyang and rushing away, her heart was lost for a while, and her face sank.
She reluctantly said to Duanmu Fusu: "I want to participate in the book competition project in the competition." ”
Duanmu Fusu was overjoyed, and happily accompanied Yan Wan to participate in the book competition.
The appearance of the spring breeze is like the groom who is about to enter the cave house, how proud and proud.
Someone next to him saw it, and hurriedly saluted and greeted:
"Yo, Eighth Prince, are you also going to participate in the competition?"
However, today's Eighth Prince, who takes care of the beauties around him, where can he take care of him?
Only Jingyang Shenjun and Black Night were left at the scene.
The night scratched his head and said:
"Brother Jingyang, everyone is gone, and even Yingying has played."
"Why don't we go to the program together? However, I don't know anything, and I don't know what to attend. ”
At this moment, a delicate beautiful girl walked over.
The girl is fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a goose yellow embroidered satin skirt robe, combing two bulging girl hair buns, delicate facial features, smart eyes, smiling like flowers, and looking sweet and lovely.
It's just that the look is timid, and there is shyness in the clear eyes, and I feel pity.
The night and Jingyang Shenjun stared at the beautiful girl suspiciously, not knowing what she was going to do.
The girl smiled at Jingyang Shenjun, and sighed like an orchid:
"Hello Childe, my name is Fanfan, I am the nineteenth princess of the Great Xia Kingdom, can you accompany me to participate in the equestrian competition?"
Hei Ye smiled: "Your name is so strange, why is it called Fanfan?" ”
The girl smiled shyly: "When I was a child, my mother wanted me to have a bite to eat, so she named me Fanfan." ”
Jingyang Shenjun stared at her delicate face, and he was a little distracted.
He has always felt that the beauties of the heavenly realm, beauty is beautiful, most of them because of their long lifespan, but they lack a little bit of fireworks and aura.
The beauties of the human world, thousands of charming, thousands of purples and thousands of reds, each with its own merits, is a little more vivid than the beauty of the heavenly world, and it is indeed much more eye-catching.
Seeing that Jingyang Shenjun was stunned in the dark night, he quickly touched him with his arm and said:
"Brother Jingyang, the beauty called you, go quickly!"
The girl pursed her lips and smiled: "It turns out that your name is Jingyang, and your name is so good." ”
The night smirked:
"Not only is his name Jingyang, but he is also a golden single dog, and he has time to accompany you."
The girl covered her lips and smiled wildly: "Single dog? Hahaha......"
The dark night hurriedly filmed the fear of Jingyang Shenjun:
"Brother Jingyang, are you stupid? The beauty invites you, do you want to go or not? ”
Jing Yang came back to his senses from his stunned stup, and a suspicious flush appeared on his handsome face.
He blushed and said, "Princess Fanfan, hello, my name is Jingyang, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"I'd love to accompany you to the competition, what do you want to participate in?"
Princess Fanfan took Jingyang Shenjun's arm and walked happily towards the arena, saying as she walked:
"Shall we go over and have a look? I would like to participate in the embroidery ......"
The night looked at their distant backs, and said to himself:
"Everyone went to play in pairs, and only me, the poor single cat, was left, and where was my kitten?"
"I don't know anything anyway, or ...... I turned into a cat and went to the Grand Palace to seduce and seduce the cat. ”
The night crept into a nearby wood, sneakily looked around, saw that there was no one around, and relieved himself.
He turned into a big black cat, walked out of the grove, and swaggered in the direction of the palace.
He smugly thought:
"Oh, it's still comfortable to be a cat, you can go anywhere, it's so cool!"
Hua Weiyang and Baili Lechuan, the two came to the piano competition with great interest.
But I saw that there were a lot of people here, and there was a long queue, and many girls were waiting in line to compete in the piano.
At the front of the line, four luthiers are guarding a piano, and a woman is playing in the competition.
The melodious sound of the piano wafted across the lawn, drowning in the cacophony of human voices.
This competitive piano art feels like just going through the motions and competing for gifts.
The daughters of the royal princes and ministers generally learn to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. This is also a necessary investment for the nobles and grandchildren to find a good family business for their daughters to marry in the future.
You can not be proficient in these things, but you must be able to show off when you need to.
These noble daughters, dressed up, each more gorgeous and grand.
They are waiting for which prince can be favored by them today and become one of the princesses or side concubines.
These aristocratic women, seeing Baili Lechuan coming over with Hua Weiyang, looked at Hua Weiyang's eyes, full of disdain:
Isn't this the guy just now, who writes extremely ugly and has the face to participate in the couplet competition and win the first place?
However, the eyes they looked at Baili Lethe were fiery and enthusiastic.
Baili Lechuan is tall and handsome, and his nobility is compelling, even if he is not the prince of the Great Xia Kingdom, he must be the prince of a certain country.
Besides, he had just won the second place in the couplet.
The girls looked at the stars in their eyes, and they couldn't wait to take Hua Weiyang away with one foot and go to accompany Baili Lechuan by themselves.
Hua Weiyang looked at the long queue, frowned and said dumbfounded:
"With so many people in line, what are we waiting for?"
Baili Lechuan comforted: "Don't worry, if you want to participate, I will accompany you." ”
Hua Weiyang looked at the unkind eyes of those women, shook his head and said:
"There are too many people, so let's forget it, let's go somewhere else."
Hua Weiyang took Bailichuan's hand, and the two went to the crowded place to watch and see what kind of competitive events they could participate in.
Not far away is the racecourse, where several people are racing and riding.
Four tall and mighty horses, lined up, majestic and extraordinary.
Horse racing requires participants to ride a horse at full speed to the finish line several miles away from each other.
On the ground of the runway along the way, many palm-sized pieces of wood were sprinkled.
Whoever can pick up the wood chips on the ground while the horse is running and reach the opposite finish line will participate in the final selection.
Of course, there are rules to all games, and horse racing is no exception.
When racing, if the horse falls halfway, maliciously disturbs others, or the horse stops, uses fairy power and other onlookers, it will be eliminated.
The four tracks are wide and separated by fences to prevent horses from interfering with each other when they run.
The final judging of the horse race is based on the number of chips obtained, and whoever gets the most chips is the winner.
This horse racing has extremely high requirements for the equestrian skills of the participants.
Therefore, the people who come to participate in the competition are basically people who are skilled in equestrianism.
The Great Xia Kingdom is located in the northwest of Shenzhou, the people are fierce, nomads account for half of the total population, and there are naturally many people who are good at equestrianism.
It's just that hundreds of years since the establishment of the Great Xia Kingdom, although the royal family requires the prince and princess to learn to ride and shoot. But there are still many princes and princesses who are noble, pampered, delicate and expensive, and gradually become unfamiliar with this skill.
Hua Weiyang looked at the man on horseback and smiled at Baili Lechuan:
"The wood chips are so small, it's really not easy to pick up the wood chips on the ground when the horses are running fiercely."
Baili Lechuan smiled: "The master is in the folk, if you don't believe it, take a look." ”
Hua Weiyang smiled:
"It seems that I can only look at this project because I can't ride a horse."
"Brother Lethe, how are your equestrian skills? Want to give it a try? ”
Baili Lechuan touched her head and said with a smile:
"It's all too easy for me, it's not challenging, and I'm more interesting to accompany you."
At this time, a discordant voice said in a strange voice behind them:
"Isn't this the couplet just now, the first and second talented women and talented people? Why, just riding a horse, you have become a coward? ”
His words provoked the surrounding people who ate melons, and they all laughed.
Many young people saw that Hua Weiyang was as beautiful as a flower, and the city was stunning, and they were already full of envy and jealousy for Bailichuan.
At this time, their eyes looking at Baili Lethe River were full of contempt, contempt and schadenfreude.
Hua Weiyang and Baili Lechuan turned around when they heard the sound.
I saw Duanmu Xingchen with a peerless bifocal, followed by a large number of handsome guys and beauties, and everyone was like the stars holding the moon, hugging Duanmu Xingchen, swaggering over to this side.
But I saw that he was wearing a bright red brocade embroidered robe, with a tall figure, golden crown and black hair, snow-white skin, handsome facial features, and a pair of watery peach blossom eyes, full of unruliness.
He stood there, like a landscape, provoking those royal and noble maidens, screaming loudly, and their eyes were full of stars.
His appearance is very outstanding among many princes.
In addition, he has studied immortal cultivation and knows some spells.
Therefore, he is definitely one of the best romantic figures in the royal family of the Great Xia Kingdom.
It is rumored that Emperor Duanmu will choose one person to inherit the throne between Duanmu Fusu and Duanmu Xingchen.
However, because these two princes are excellent and have their own advantages and disadvantages, Emperor Duanmu has never been able to decide who to choose, and he has never made a crown prince.
Duanmu Xingchen has learned immortal methods, and his equestrian skills are notoriously powerful among the royal family of the Great Xia Kingdom.
In the eyes of the world, comparing equestrianism with Duanmu Xingchen is like comparing poetry with an illiterate person and a great talent, which is simply self-inflicted.
Duanmu Xingchen was surrounded by a group of people and walked in front of Bailichuan.
But when I saw him, his clothes fluttered in the wind and his sleeves, and he was really a young man with a golden fur.
Duanmu Xingchen's superstar-like style has indeed earned everyone's attention.
Hua Weiyang looked at him and couldn't help but think of a person, a scene.
On the day of the Aura Blessing Conference, Feng Wuchen came from a distance with a sword, and it seemed that this kind of superstar was shining in all directions, and everything was reduced to the illusion of the background.
Why did Hua Weiyang link Duanmu Xingchen and Feng Wuchen together?
Actually, she couldn't figure it out.
She just felt that these two people were crazy and handsome.
Duanmu Xingchen stopped in front of them, his contemptuous gaze swept over Hua Weiyang's beautiful face, his eyes narrowed, and then he crossed the top of Baili Lethe's head.
The arrogant and cool arrogant posture made Hua Weiyang feel unhappy for a while.
Duanmu Xingchen stretched out his slender white fingers, gently touched the golden jade wrench on his hand, and said lightly:
"Gongzi Lechuan, aren't you from Duanmu Fusu? Fight with His Royal Highness, I don't know if you dare to give it a try? ”
