Chapter 178
The people who wanted to participate in the competition changed into the casual clothes specially prepared by Xia Rongxin, and took away the heavy things on their bodies, Liang Huanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and stood on the school field with Qi Wangshu, excited and ready to go.
"I heard that this year's dabbling is to shoot people with flat-headed arrows." Liang Huanqing listened to the eunuch's father-in-law loudly proclaim the rules of the game.
"When the time comes, we'll shoot someone else together!" Qi Wangshu couldn't help but get excited when he saw so many people playing together, and he wanted to hurry to the designated bushes at this moment.
"These are all powerful people and other foreign envoys, as a royal family, we can't be rude, although it's just a game, it's about face." Liang Huanqing has taken over the affairs of Jingwangfu for many days, so he naturally has to be more sensible.
"Hey, listen, today's rule seems to be that whoever has more red paint on his body wins, and when the time comes, you stand first and let me shoot you!" Qi Wangshu didn't listen carefully to what Liang Huanqing was saying at all, all he was thinking about was how to play the game later.
"Okay, then when you're done cumming, I'll shoot you again." Liang Huanqing smiled and nodded.
"I'm going to send you the first New Year's wishes." Qi Wangshu said so casually, but it was full of all her compassion.
What they didn't notice was that a little palace maid wearing a pink palace dress and an inconspicuous appearance heard them say this, nodded and secretly slipped away, meeting Aunt Xu Lan of Minghuatang under the high platform.
"Aunt Xu Lan, the slave has heard that the princess and the princess are going to send blessings to each other, and it is feasible to think about it." This palace maid is Ah Xun, and since this matter can't be known to too many people, she asked Ah Xun to inquire about the news.
Aunt Xu Lan nodded: "There are many people here, and Concubine Mei is busy presiding over the investigation, but you still have to be more careful, you hurry back to the noble person, don't let people see and be suspicious." ”
Aunt Xu Lan didn't want to say anything to Ah Xun, she just wanted to quickly inform Concubine Ming before the start of the dabbling, and let her decide when to steal the feather arrow and change the pillar.
Ah Xun nodded, looked left and right twice, and then hurriedly ran back to the nobleman.
The low-grade palace concubines are all standing in a group and blessing each other, and the nobles have a common topic with many people because of their friendship with Concubine Mei. None of them noticed that there were palace maids around them to do anything else.
After Ah Xun returned to the nobleman, the nobleman smiled and saluted several palace concubines, and pulled Ah Xun to another place.
"How?" The nobles were worried, after all, if the system of archery blessings they deliberately set up could not make Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu have the idea of shooting arrows at each other, then what the nobles had done before would have been wasted.
Guiren can now roughly guess what Concubine Ming wants to do, which is nothing more than to make the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet a big event, and then the emperor will condemn Concubine Mei, so that her only competitor will have no day to turn over.
The nobleman couldn't see how much she liked the emperor in Lu Huiling, and the nobleman knew that Lu Huiling didn't really want to be this concubine, but the nobleman didn't know what Lu Huiling wanted to do, she was obviously a young lady, with supreme status and wealth, why did she come to the palace to compete for favor.
Xue Guiren is not stupid, she can feel that what Lu Huiling wants, only the emperor can give her, she must want to use the emperor to do something.
Xue Guiren couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, he didn't expect that only a twenty-eight-year-old girl would have such great ambitions, and she would not hesitate to sacrifice other people's lives and step on other people's corpses, but now it seems that what she wants to sacrifice is Liang Huanqing.
Although I don't know why she chose Liang Huanqing, but according to the battle that Lu Huiling is thinking about now, Qi Wangshu shot Liang Huanqing with an arrow, Liang Huanqing was either dead or injured, and Qi Wangshu could not escape the blame, and all this will ultimately be attributed to the dabbling competition designed by Mei Guifei, if she investigates deeply, Mei Guifei will definitely drag out the Guiren herself.
In the end, Lu Huiling fisherman profited and enjoyed his success.
Ah Xun nodded hurriedly and said, "I've heard how they plan." It's not in vain that the nobles helped Mei Guifei set the rules several times..."
The nobles are always worried that Mei Guifei will change the rules, what they said at the beginning is to shoot the flat-headed arrow on each other is to bless, if anyone has more red paint, then they can come out on top, so as to ensure that in a group of people who don't know each other, two acquaintances will be the first to send blessings.
Hearing Ah Xun say this, the boulder in his heart was slowly put down, but his eyes looked at the school with a worried face, and now Mei Guifei is directing the people of the Internal Affairs Office to check the flat-headed arrows one by one, and the flat-headed arrow arrows have been taken off, wrapped in bulging red cloth, and it seems that there is indeed a sense of winter plum.
But the noble lady has no time to take care of these now, and she is a little worried about how Concubine Ming will put the real feather arrow in Princess Wangshu's arrow box later.
Guiren knew that all this was about to happen, if the matter was revealed, Guiren Xue would definitely be the first to come out to block the gun, but she was inexplicably relieved in her heart, owing Lu Huiling a few lives, and it was all thanks to Lu Huiling that she was able to let her parents and brothers survive and repay her with her life, which was reasonable.
The nobles sighed, found a higher position and looked at the school yard and the bushes they were about to enter, and slowly felt the crisis coming.
Ah Xun also knew Concubine Ming's plan, if the matter was successful and Concubine Mei was condemned, she would naturally confess that it was the nobleman's idea, the nobleman's position was not high, and the mother's family had no status, and even wore a sinful body.
Because of the nobles, the Celestial Empire lost such a big face in front of foreign envoys, and the emperor would definitely put her to death in a fit of anger, and even if Concubine Mei was friendly with her, at this juncture, she would definitely hate her to death, not to mention other concubines, who would want to lead the water of trouble to himself.
And Concubine Ming is afraid that she is the most willing to see this scene, only when the noble person is dead, this means that her plan has been successfully achieved.
A master and a servant stood on the high platform, looking at the cheering crowd in the audience with mixed feelings, which was incompatible with it.
After Xu Lan learned about this, she hurriedly ran up to the high platform to inform Concubine Ming.
Lu Huiling was talking with the crown princess Zhao Peiyu at this time, Xu Lan stepped forward and glanced at Lu Huiling, Lu Huiling smiled, saluted Zhao Peiyu, and came to a place where no one was there with Xu Lan.
There were a lot of people waiting on this high platform, Xu Lan looked left and right, and saw that no one noticed them, so she whispered: "Concubine Ming, Ah Xun said that Princess Wangshu and the princess have made an appointment to send blessings to each other." ”
Lu Huiling was not surprised by this, she had long known that Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu would do this, if she and Zhao Peiyu also went down to play, in a place where there were no acquaintances, it would naturally be fun to play with the people she was most familiar with.
Lu Huiling hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, turned to look at Xia Rongxin, who was personally commanding in the crowd, and couldn't help but admire: "It's really, it's so hard to do it yourself, and do it for the emperor." At that time, the suspicion will not be cleared, and it will be a little unbearable to look at this palace. ”
Of course, this is just a casual joke, how could they give up temporarily after preparing for so long.
Xu Lan looked at Concubine Ming Niangniang and asked, "Niangniang, then how will we take the feather arrows at that time... Put it in Princess Wangshu's arrow box. ”
Lu Huiling is deep in the palace, naturally he can't get the feather arrows, and there is such a dabbling, the palace is even more strict with the sharp weapons, for fear that someone will take advantage of the chaos to put sharp weapons in and hurt the distinguished masters, and they are also more worried about hurting foreign envoys and destroying the friendship between the two countries.
But Lu Huiling is such a smart character, coupled with her mother's strong background, as long as she wants something, there is nothing she can't get.
When Mrs. Lu entered the palace, according to Lu Huiling's instructions, she brought in a few arrows with feather arrows, so that when the time came, she only needed to remove the red cloth silk and install the arrows directly.
Although Mrs. Lu did not approve of Lu Huiling entering the palace as a concubine, but the matter had come to this point, and she no longer objected, but Lu Huiling asked her to do her best to help her, for fear that Lu Huiling would be bullied in the palace because she did not have the help of her mother's family.
Lu Fushuang died of illness in the years of her youth, which left a deep shadow in Mrs. Lu's heart.
Lu Huiling shook his head indifferently and said to Xu Lan: "Wait, naturally we have to wait until their feather arrows are distributed." ”
At this time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is doing the final step of inspection, and after the inspection, it will be loaded into the arrow box and distributed to each master, and this step must be sure to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Most of the people present had participated in military life, and only a few young ladies from official families came to seek excitement.
Seeing this, Qi Bingyu also proposed to let Lu Huiling go down to play together, she naturally shook her head and refused, she didn't want to have anything to do with this matter, and in the end, she couldn't even have a relationship with a sentence.
"You can disguise yourself later, and go in person, and change to someone else, this palace is not at ease." Lu Huiling's eyes looked at the internal affairs office carefully inspecting the flat-headed arrow, and he still felt a little uneasy.
Although Xu Lan was scared in her heart, the fewer people knew about this matter, the better, since Concubine Ming trusted herself, of course, she would never give up: "The slave will definitely complete the task given by the mother." ”
Hearing Xu Lan say this, Lu Huiling also walked back to Zhao Peiyu's side, although he would discuss everything with Zhao Peiyu before, but after experiencing the last incident, although he had reconciled, there was still a gap in his heart.
Zhao Peiyu saw that Lu Huiling was back, and asked with a smile, "But is there something wrong?" ”
Lu Huiling shook his head with a smile, looking at the crowd from afar.
