There were more and more guests on the racecourse, and everyone took their seats to watch the race.

"Started?" Chen Muzhi sat upright, looking at the center of the venue expectantly.

Zheng Cunxi, who was next to him, said in a low voice: "The most important person hasn't come yet." ”

"Oh?"

Turning his head to look at the most central position of the viewing platform, sure enough, the position was still empty, and no one was seated.

Even Wei Xu was not on the viewing platform.

Chen Muzhi's heart was empty for no reason, and he immediately scolded himself again.

Ever since he heard that Prince Yi's Mansion planned to let Shizi and Chen Muxi live separately, Chen Muzhi had a lot of opinions about Wei Xu.

said that he would not be treated with him from now on, why did he care so much?

Retracting his gaze from the viewing platform, Chen Muzhi looked diagonally behind the racecourse. It was the place where all the horses were prepared, and the horses of the children of the family were naturally taken care of by the horse servants, but there were some people who were dressed differently from the horse servants.

Those were the horses and riders on Wuying Street.

Their status is low, and they were invited to participate in the horse racing event organized by Prince Yi's mansion for the first time, so they are naturally not qualified to sit on the viewing platform with these nobles.

Chen Muzhi scanned several times, but he couldn't find Wang Hualan's figure.

She's definitely here, and she's got dressed up at home early in the morning, and she's going to be in the limelight today.

Is it because he dislikes the sun and looks for a shady place?

Just thinking about it, Zheng Cunfang patted her and whispered: "Here, look." ”

I saw two columns of honor guards coming in at the entrance, which turned out to be eunuchs in the palace, opening the way and leading to the central seat, sandwiching out a passage.

A young man dressed in a dark robe walked forward, and Wei Xu followed beside him.

Seeing the dragon embroidered on the man's shoulders, Chen Muzhi was secretly shocked in his heart, and suddenly understood.

This young man turned out to be Li Xin, the crown prince of the dynasty.

At this time, the entire audience knelt down and saluted to welcome the prince into his seat.

This is the first time Chen Muzhi has seen the true face of the prince. Sixteen or seventeen years old, more pale and cold than she imagined.

Emperor Hongchang of the Great Shun Dynasty was nearly sixty years old, and his wife died of illness in the second year of his accession to the throne, and he was unable to experience the prosperity of the Great Shun Dynasty with Emperor Hongchang.

The first queen gave birth to only one princess, leaving no prince.

Emperor Hongchang has a total of seven sons, six of whom are currently adults, only the crown prince Li Xin was born to the current empress Empress Tongde, and the remaining six were all born to the concubine.

The Dashun Dynasty pays attention to a successor, and Li Xin is stable and very smart, and being appointed as a prince can also be said to be expected.

A horse race in Prince Yi's mansion actually drove the prince to come in person, and I am afraid that this face is rare in the dynasty.

What was even more surprising was that the prince actually spoke.

"The horse racing event is to be lively and festive, if they are all trembling like this, it will not lose the original intention of the palace. Don't be inhibited, play how you want. ”

The people present were all young people, and when they heard what the prince said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Even Zheng Cunfang whispered: "It turns out that the prince is not far away. ”

Hearing her innocent, Zheng Cunxi glanced at her deeply.

The prince doesn't look far away, but in fact, even if he is by your side, you are thousands of miles away from him, out of reach. Only people like my grandmother who came out of the palace knew what it was like to be in the deep palace, and how could people outside the palace walls understand it.

A long horn sounded over the racecourse, and a man rode into the racecourse, galloped around the racecourse, and kicked up a cloud of dust and went out through another opening.

Then a column of riders waved large flags and ran out of various formations on the horse field.

This is the opening performance of the horse frolics.

Anguo Mansion used to have a well-known horse team in the capital, and when Chen Yu'an was still there, he also held a horse race at the training ground of Guogong Mansion.

It's just that now that no one takes care of it, the horse frolic team has existed in name only, and those good riders have either become horse servants, or have changed to the nursing home, or have found another way out and gone to another house.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Muzhi's heart ached.

This heartache is completely different from the heartache when I saw Wei Xu, it is regret, it is the sourness of things and people.

A burst of cheers interrupted Chen Muzhi's memories. It was the riders on the field who had a wonderful performance, which attracted the cheers of the spectators.

Chen Muzhi was not a sentimental person, so he immediately pressed his mind and paid attention to the racecourse.

After the performance, the first round begins.

The first round is the "Instant Victory", which, as the name suggests, is to ride a horse to compete for the championship at the finish line. Because the championship is hung high, the rider needs to stand up on the horse's back to win the championship.

A group of three horses leads to the next round.

Wuying Street won six seats, and the first to appear were the two groups of Wuying Street.

The first group of three male riders, as soon as they came out, you chased after me, the competition was very fierce, two of them until the last moment, in the end it was still the taller one who had the advantage, immediately stretched out a hand, ahead of the short rider to win the championship.

Then the second group played.

At this time, Chen Muzhi looked at Wang Hualan.

She is indeed dressed beautifully today, the narrow robe with twisted gold silk looks specially customized for riding horses, and the horses she holds in her hands are also extremely luxurious, with various accessories inlaid with gold and jade, which is particularly outstanding among the people and horses in Wuying Street.

Everyone had just looked at the three rough Wuying Street men, and a girl with such a bright eye suddenly came out of the second group, and the audience was immediately noisy.

"That's not Miss Wang?" Lu Miaohong was the first to shout.

She accompanied her mother to the Guogong Mansion, and she had a good impression of this "feverish" Miss Wang, and recognized it at a sight.

"Cousin Hua Lan!" Chen Muzhi also exclaimed, "Why is she here?" ”

Zheng Cunfang's mouth couldn't close: "How can she ...... Why did she follow the people from Wuying Street? ”

You must know that the Dashun Dynasty is open again, and it is impossible for the noble lady to mix among the peddlers and pawns on Wuying Street, otherwise why does Chen Muzhi have to become a man every time he goes out?

No matter how comfortable, chic, and fierce she is, she also has to take into account the reputation of the Guogong Mansion.

Wang Hualan didn't understand, in order to show her face, she also let it go.

Of course, Chen Muzhi can't accuse Wang Hualan in front of everyone. She immediately changed the subject: "This horse is 'Feiyan', and she actually brought 'Feiyan' to the race!" ”

"Feiyan, is it a famous horse?" Zheng Cunfang asked.

"I have been on the battlefield and killed the enemy, and I am a horse that has made meritorious contributions, although I am a little older, but my ability is still very strong. My cousin is very discerning. ”

Zheng Cunfang knew that she and Wang Hualan were not in harmony, and she was a little confused when she praised her for being skinless and faceless.

It was the imperial guard Zheng Cunxi, Lord Zheng, who looked at Chen Muzhi with great interest.

What tricks is this quirky cousin doing?

She can hide it from Zheng Cunfang, but she can't hide it from Zheng Cunxi. He sleeps less than others, so he naturally sees more than others, otherwise, how can he be popular in front of the emperor, how can he be worthy of the "wings of the eagle"?
