The Spring Horse Farm outside the Dongzhi Gate is the only aristocratic activity that the people of Beijing can watch.

Emperor Taizu's original intention was to express himself, and after becoming the emperor, he could still enjoy with the people, and year after year, the spring racecourse continued as a traditional activity.

"Senior brother, I'm also going to watch the horse race!" The buckwheat was bored at home for a few days, and finally waited until she could go out to play.

Hu Yanjin put on his hat and said with a smile: "Go, Xiao Gao will follow you, and Haiying and Haiming will also go together." Just stay safe. ”

"Oh, no, I want to go in with you, the onlookers outside are too far apart, so how can I see clearly! Senior brother, Jing Yi...... Just take me in......"

As soon as he heard Hua Qiao call him "Jingyi", Hu Yanjin's heart softened, but the situation was unclear today...... He thought for a while and said, "Taisun Donggong token, you have to wear it on your body, and you can't run around." ”

"Order!" Hua Qiao jumped up from the soft collapse, smiled and went back to the house to change clothes and get the token.

The avenue used for running horses outside the Dongzhi Gate has been surrounded by Jin Wuwei, and the places where the people stand are actually two hundred steps away.

This is to prevent someone from sneaking up on the outside, and at this distance, the arrow can't shoot inside, but it can only be seen in a meaning.

Jin Wuwei commanded Mo Bing, who stood at the entrance and exit, looked coldly at the people who came in, and did not greet people, looking like they were not approaching.

"Name?"

"Buckwheat."

"Belong to?"

"Tai, Taisun Donggong ......"

One of Jin Wuwei's sergeants was holding the East Palace token of Hua Buckwheat and looking left and right. Mo Bing next to him asked:

"Answer why hesitate?!"

Hu Yanjin hurriedly smiled: "I have never seen such a big posture, I was scared." ”

"Does Lord Huyan want to vouch for him?" Mo Bing said coldly.

"Lone personally vouched for her."

The fence was opened next to it, and on a carriage that was driving in, the imperial grandson lifted the curtain and said to Mo Bing: "Hua Qiao is from the Gudong Palace, let her in." ”

"Yes! Your Highness. ”

The imperial grandson nodded at the buckwheat, lowered the curtain, and the carriage walked in. At this moment, Hu Yanjin saw another person in the car, a person who was a little familiar, but couldn't remember who it was.

Who is this man? Could it be that the emperor's grandson left the palace to pick him up?

"Jingyi, what's the matter, let's go." Hua Qiao put away the token and poked Hu Yanjin in thought with her elbow. The two of them walked briskly towards the makeshift stables at .asxs.

Because when I was in Nandu, someone fed his horse forage mixed with stimulant herbs before racing.

Later, in order to ensure fairness, the participating horses were sent to this temporary stable for unified foster care when they signed up yesterday.

It is said to be a temporary stable, but it is not sloppy at all, and dozens of horses still feel spacious standing in it. There is a forage pond in the middle of the stable, so that the horses in it have a chance to eat the fodder.

Of course, the horses of the princes and grandchildren were not in it, and their horses were originally fed by the Imperial Horse Supervisor, which was no different from the attendants of the Imperial Horse Prison handed over here.

"Lord Huyan, this is your horse, His Royal Highness Taisun has already gone to .asxs., please hurry over." An inner chamberlain said softly.

Hu Yanjin and Hua Qiao led the horses over, and sure enough, they saw that Zhu Zhanji had already stood with the man in the carriage, waiting for the imperial horse supervisor to lead his horse.

"Lord Huyan." When the man saw Hu Yanjin, he greeted him with a smile.

Listening to the voice, Hu Yanjin recognized that it was none other than the pearl girl who was dressed as a man when he came with the imperial grandson.

"Hua Qiao, introduce to you, this is the pearl girl, she has long been clamoring to come to see the race, I am afraid that she will be alone, you are here just right, and the two girls will be companions."

He bowed his head mysteriously and said to the two: "When the emperor and the prince come out, they will sit under the canopy in the middle, don't go there, there are Jin Wuwei and Yu Linwei in the dark, it's not good to be injured by mistake." ”

"Don't worry, we just have to watch you race horses and see what the emperor does?" Although Mingzhu is dressed in men's clothes, her clever smile is even more charming.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but stare at her and smiled: "Okay! Wait for Lone to come back. ”

Hu Yanjin didn't pay much attention to the pearl girl, because His Royal Highness Taisun's horse had already been brought over.

Zhu Zhanji's mount is a three-year-old jujube red horse, with no variegated color on his body, except for a white mark in the middle of his forehead, as if he has opened the eyes of heaven.

Hu Yanjin quietly compared the dark clouds, both horses seemed too honest and obvious, they were both fed vanilla, and their reactions were a little sluggish.

"Senior brother, I think there is something wrong with His Highness's horse." Hua Qiao suddenly leaned into Hu Yanjin's ear and said.

Hu Yanjin was taken aback, he didn't tell Hua Buckwheat about the vanilla, how could Hua Buckwheat see it?

He feigned puzzlement and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"Horseshoe. Brother, its right front hoof doesn't seem to want to exert itself. ”

Hua Qiao has followed Hua Youcai to learn the art of making for many years, and has developed a pair of eyes that are good at observing subtleties.

When the chamberlain signed the horse, although the horse walked slowly, she still noticed that the horse's steps were a little different.

Hu Yanjin immediately became alert. Could it be that Yi Chengjin also did something to His Royal Highness the Grand Sun?

"Shall I go and say to His Highness?" Hua Buckwheat asked in a low voice.

Hu Yanjin smiled in his heart: Just right, persuade His Highness to withdraw from the competition.

As soon as the imperial grandson heard Hua Qiao say her suspicions, she immediately led the horse to the place where she was carrying the person, and Hu Yanjin raised the horse's leg to take a look, but did not find the same, six iron nails Zheng Liang, it should be a newly repaired horse's hoof.

Hua Qiao didn't know much about this, but she pointed to the horseshoe prints on the sand and said, "You see, the horseshoe prints on this leg are shallower than the other leg, I only know that there must be something wrong with this leg." ”

Hu Yanjin clenched his fists and said: "Your Highness, please trust Hua Qiao's judgment, find an excuse to withdraw from the game, and we will find someone to find out what makes the horse's legs unwilling to exert force." ”

The imperial grandson took a deep breath and said, "Okay, you go to report to my father, just say that I have an unhealthy stomach and go back to the palace." Mingzhu, you come with me. ”

Mingzhu answered, watching Hu Yanjin walk towards the crown prince under the canopy.

The emperor and the crown prince listened to Hu Yanjin's recital, and they all glanced at Zhu Zhanji and them, Zhu Zhanji covered his stomach and nodded at them.

After a while, Hu Yanjin came back and said, "The emperor and the crown prince ask you to go back and have a good rest, and the imperial doctor will arrive later." ”

"Huyan, you take the horse out, don't send it back to the Imperial Horse Prison, find someone outside to find out what the reason is, I'll wait for your news in the East Palace. Also, Miss Mingzhu, please send her out for me. ”

After Zhu Zhanji finished explaining, he went back to Taisun East Palace in a soft sedan chair.

Hu Yanjin was about to ask the two girls to follow him, but Taisun withdrew from the game, and it was normal for him, his entourage, not to participate in the competition.

But Miss Mingzhu said: "Since we have come, how about we go after watching the game?" Lord Huyan might as well fight for the throne for His Royal Highness the Taisun, and disappoint the person who harmed people. ”

That's the reason, but it sounds a little strange.

Hu Yanjin looked at the horse, when he stood still, he was also leisurely, and he couldn't see anything wrong.

Besides, Lin Longfeng didn't know if he could get out of the way, and he didn't feel at ease when he left.

"Good! You take care of this horse, I'll go and I'll come back when I'm going to race. ”
