Not far from them, Princess Ruyi's eyes, who heard their conversation, flickered slightly, and then raised her eyes to look at the eldest lady who had walked out of the court and walked quickly.

But seeing that her pretty and delicate face that has not yet fully grown is as calm as water, there is no half of her pride in beating Yuwen Qiao, this little lady who is two years younger than herself and has not yet reached the age of Lu seems to have already practiced a pair of skills that are not shocked.

The eldest grandson and the little lady came over, saluted to Princess Ruyi, and then stepped aside, and the election continued, because the first round of the election was very fierce and exciting, and the blood in the hearts of the participating ladies seemed to be ignited, and the next selection was very exciting.

The election, two days ago, the eldest grandson won a game of Yuwen Qiao, and the next two games were also won, with three wins of three games to advance, becoming one of the twenty-three candidates, and by the afternoon of the next day, all twenty-four players were released.

The players were selected, and then they were grouped, divided into groups, and then let the members of each group elect the captain, twenty-four people, divided into two teams, twelve people per team, according to the meaning of Princess Ruyi, in order to ensure the fairness of the event, she did not indicate which team she belonged to.

That is, let the referee take the lead, the three female guards sent by the queen as the auxiliary, and the four joined forces to arrange the grouping according to the strength of the twenty-four players, Li Xiuning hesitated a little and accepted the proposal.

Grouping was originally a very simple reason, but because it involved Princess Ruyi, it was quite tricky, but since Li Xiuning agreed to the queen and accepted the position of referee, no matter how tricky it was, she couldn't shirk it.

Twenty-four people, twenty-two of them were quickly divided into two groups, eleven people in each group, and the remaining two in the end, one was wishful thinking, and the other was the eldest grandson and little lady, Li Xiuning did not open his mouth to arrange again.

In this regard, no one seems to be surprised, the next one is chosen by Princess Ruyi, which team she is willing to join, after she chooses, the eldest grandson and little lady do not need to be divided, she will automatically belong to another group.

Princess Ruyi didn't embarrass Li Xiuning, her eyes turned around the two teams a few times, and then pointed to the group where Yuwen Qiao was and said: "Yuwen Liuniang and I often bow together, and we cooperate well, so stay in this group." ”

"Then I'll be in a group with Sister Han." The eldest grandson and little lady smiled slightly and said.

After the grouping was completed, the next team was elected by everyone, and there was no accident, the eldest grandson, the little lady and Princess Ruyi were elected as the captains of each group.

The division of the competition is good, the respective captains have also been elected, and the next thing is for each team to train and run in by themselves, so everyone naturally does not have to continue to stay in Orchid Garden, but only needs to enter the palace on the 20th of next month to play in the bowing field.

"Erniang, originally I thought that there was no danger in this event, but now it seems that it is not easy to say, Yuwen Qiao will not say it, look at her appearance, it seems that she can't wait to eat you."

"Guan Jian is Princess Ruyi...... Before, I was worried that she would choose Han Sanniang's team, if she chose Han Sanniang's team and let you follow Yuwenqiao to form a team, it would be a lot of fun. ”

"As a result, she chose to be in a group with Yuwen Qiao as she wished, but I am becoming more and more uneasy, in my opinion, you might as well find a reason to ask the queen to resign and not participate in the competition." When he came back from Orchid Garden, Li Xiuning was a little worried.

In the past, Ruyi was also a little hostile to her eldest grandson because of Li Erlang's relationship, but she didn't use her identity to do anything to oppress people, but this time, with Yuwen Qiao's performance in the first election match, she should have been punished, or even eliminated.

But Princess Ruyi didn't say a word from beginning to end, she and Lu were in it, if there was no accident, after the princess and Lu, the emperor and queen would start to choose a horse for her...... At this time, no one knew what the princess was thinking.

"Sister Xiuning, if the princess really wants to do something to me, even if I quit the competition, she will find other reasons, and if I quit the competition at this time, it will really anger her." The eldest grandson and little lady were silent for a while before she said.

She understands Li Xiuning's worries, but the current situation does not allow her to retreat, no matter what the road ahead, she can only face it head-on.

Li Xiuning glanced at the eldest grandson with a complicated face, sighed slightly, and did not speak again, how could she not know what the eldest grandson meant, with the current situation of the Li family, in this era of the supremacy of imperial power, if Ruyi is determined to deal with the eldest grandson, blindly avoiding it will not solve the problem at all.

Don't talk about Li Xiuning's thoughts, but say that after the eldest grandson and little lady returned to the house, she only rested for one day, and since the third day, she started training with the eleven members of the group.

A month passed in a blink of an eye, and the time soon came to October 20, on this day, the weather was clear, cloudless, and the temperature was about 9 degrees, which was very suitable for this exciting outdoor competition.

After Emperor Yang of Sui heard about this from the queen, he was quite interested, for Ruyi's daughter, he loved it in his heart, she was about to catch up, this was probably the last event she held before she got married, and it was a high-intensity competition like bowing, and there was no reason for him as a father not to support it.

For this reason, not only did he approve that their events be held in the Royal School Gym, but on the day of the competition, he also came to the arena with the empress, and the emperor came, and the ministers of civil and military affairs naturally could not be regarded as invisible.

In this way, what was originally an ordinary ball game between noble ladies turned out to be a huge competitive game.

Not only did the emperor come later, but more than 20 civil and military officials also came, all of whom were important ministers in the court, and the young ladies and gentlemen who could show their faces in front of the emperor also came.

In addition, every time there are many colorful flags and war drums necessary in large-scale athletic competitions, on October 20, the tenth year of the great cause, in the Royal Arena, on a flat field, colorful flags, war drums, and horns.

In the midst of the beating of war drums, but the sound of horses' hooves like a storm was heard, and then twenty-four women in colorful costumes, riding horses, divided into two teams, and rushed into the arena like a whirlwind.

"Good!" Some young gentlemen couldn't help but cheer loudly when they saw this, the nobles in Luoyang City on weekdays wore gorgeous and rich lady dresses, which looked good, but after watching it for a long time, it was inevitable that it would be the same, and there was some visual fatigue.

Now these twenty-four good-looking and slender female Jiao'e, uniformly dressed in colorful suits, with their hair high on the top of their heads, forming a battle formation, riding on war horses, and the visual impact brought to people is really extraordinary.

"I originally thought that women should be soft and chaste, but I didn't expect that they wore the competitive clothes on the school field, and they had an indescribable heroic posture! It's really beautiful! Not only the young Lang Jun, but also Emperor Yang of Sui all saw that his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but high-five and praise.
