Chapter 147: Let's go to the game

August 13, the first of the four famous gardens in the capital is in Hanfang Garden. Colorful curtains, full of voices.

Because the government posted a notice in advance, the hottest topic in the city in the past few days is to fight in the ring with the Kipchak Khanate, in addition to the ring match, but also prepared a variety of miscellaneous shows, the emperor allowed the people to go and watch, bent on in front of the Kipchak Khanate, to dry the prestige of our dynasty, so the purchase is very lively.

On this day, people all over the city poured out, and there were many outsiders who came in advance when they heard the news, so when Qiu Yehong was pulled out by the county lord of Jingyang, although it was not that hour, the streets of Shuntianmen were already crowded with people, and their carriage could only move slowly.

"What a person, I'm still not going." Autumn leaves are red and uninterested.

"What's the point of being bored at home all day long? You should also come out to see the people, and the animals are stupid....." The county lord of Jingyang was wearing a well-made new clothes, but the jewelry on his head was a little thin, and he looked at the autumn leaves from the side.

Because I want to attend such a high-level banquet venue. Qiu Yehong is also wearing a newly made pink satin multicolored chrysanthemum round-necked robe today, with a white plain skirt, and according to the practice of young ladies in Beijing, a small fan is dangling in her hand.

At this time, the small fan was playing the effect of tickling, and was held by Qiu Yehong and stretched into the collar, frowning, tilting his head, and the tassel hanging down from the big phoenix hairpin on his head swayed.

"Hey," the county lord of Jingyang stabbed her with an arm, "Do you want to borrow me this one?" You wear a little emerald hairpin to be dazzling enough. ”

She was joking, but she didn't expect Autumn Leaves to really pick it off and give it to her without saying a word.

"I'm saying it's redundant." Akiba Red muttered.

The county lord of Jingyang was very happy, and asked both sides really lent me money? It wasn't until Autumn Leaf Red was impatient to take it back that she hurriedly put it on her head, took out a small round mirror from her waist and looked at it again and again.

"It's your mother's, isn't it? The royal stuff is good..."The county lord of Jingyang said happily, "I must win the competition this time, and those rewards must also have good jewelry." ”

"It's better to win another good husband back!" Autumn Leaf Hong knocked her head with a fan and smiled.

This time, the participants are all talented people in the capital, and the people who watch the game are also full of nobles in the capital, even if they can't get the ranking, they just go to the stadium to stand on the field, which is eye-catching enough.

The county lord of Jingyang twisted her, lifted the curtain of the car and looked back, the car behind was made of the two concubines of the door family, and at this time, the buns were entering the city and generally watched non-stop.

"Hey, why didn't Menxulan come out? Still sick yet? Lord Jingyang asked.

"Who knows, she said yes." Autumn Leaf Red said unconcernedly.

What kind of disease can come so quickly, last night it seemed that the posture of the door servant was as if Men Xulan was about to return to heaven. It was noisy for most of the night.

Qiu Yehong yawned, didn't she just feel ashamed, and excused herself to pretend to be sick and not attend this occasion.

"It's good to be sick, it's good to be sick." The county lord of Jingyang said with a smile, and also recited a Buddha sentence with his hands together.

Qiu Yehong listened to her muttering to the effect that she just hoped that Menxulan's illness would be better when her polo match was over.

"Why?" Autumn Yehong asked with a smile.

The county lord of Jingyang sighed and said, "You don't know, she is the first one of the ladies who play well in the capital...."

She? Menxulan? Qiu Yehong glared, if you want to say that she is very good at reciting poetry, Qiu Yehong can still believe and play ball?

Riding on her small waist... No....not afraid of breaking when riding a donkey?

"I know you don't know." The county lord of Jingyang collapsed, "This is all because of your father, the door servant, he was invincible all over the city back then..."

Doorman? Autumn leaves were even more surprised, ha, no wonder, I said earlier, I would never rely on a face to be considered outstanding.

"Actually, I'm not worse than her," the county lord of Jingyang continued, "It's because I have bad luck every time. I can't play the whole game..... this time it's different, she's sick....cough, of course, I'm not saying I'm in the limelight when she's sick...."

Qiu Yehong laughed and patted her on the shoulder, "I know that I know that the county lord will win a great victory and return triumphantly in this battle." ”

Entering Hanfang Garden, the place divided into the people's viewing area was already crowded with people, and there were more businessmen who set up a colorful shed curtain for the female relatives to watch on the weeping Yang Road.

The royal people have not yet arrived, but the clan and the eunuchs have basically arrived.

Handing the guards an invitation card for identification, the county lord of Jingyang pulled Qiu Yehong to a beautiful small palace, and a colorful shed was built in front of the palace.

When they came, the men, women, and young who had sat down first looked at them.

Shu Lan and Yilan sweated on their nervous foreheads, and they wanted to grab the corners of Qiu Yehong's clothes, but they didn't dare, so they had to lower their heads and follow tightly.

After finding a seat and sitting, the young ladies who had met a few times were nearby, nodding and greeting each other in a friendly manner.

"What is it like today?" Akiba asked.

"Foot shooting..."The county lord of Jingyang sat down, raised his head and looked left and right.

"What are you looking for?" Qiu Yehong pulled her, and as she looked, she saw that in the hall behind her, more than a dozen heroic young men came out, all holding bows and arrows in their hands.

Seeing them come out, the crowd outside the arena was in an uproar, and there was no shortage of laughter from the women who called out the name of one of them.

These are the archers who compete.

"Hey. Look, there's that relative of yours..."Lord Jingyang immediately shook her hand and grinned.

Li Qing was wearing a uniform military uniform, standing in the crowd, with his head down and fiddling with the pitch-black bow in his hand, and did not greet him with a smile like the others.

"Go, say hello." The county lord of Jingyang shook her hand with a smile, "I wish him a victory." ”

This is not very good, and it is not very familiar..... besides, there is no other girl's house running to those people, at most they are shy and half-concealed from a distance.

"What's unfamiliar?" The county lord of Jingyang pursed his lips and thought for a while, "I'll go by myself." ”

After that, he really raised his feet and passed.

Qiu Yehong hesitated, the last time at the door, the two quarreled, right? Why don't you pass the moment......

She thought about it and looked over, and saw that the county lord of Jingyang had already stood in front of Li Qing, and with a somewhat shy smile, she talked to him while pointing to this side.

Li Qing turned his face to look at her when he heard this, and before Qiu Yehong could make a smile, he turned his face away again, without saying hello or accepting her greeting.

After taking a few steps, Autumn Leaves stopped a little unnaturally, and the county lord of Jingyang came back with a smile on his face.

“… He was the last to play... But he said it must be the first...."The county lord of Jingyang said happily.

"Oh. Okay, that's good. Qiu Yehong smiled, turned around and sat down, turned his head and pouted, stingy to death.

After waiting for a short time, they could hear the noisy drum music outside, and the sound of the mountain shouting long live was unconscious, and everyone was busy standing up, knowing that the dragon and the phoenix had arrived.

As more than a dozen horsemen cleared the way with the banner, two columns of Praetorian Guards drove in with the emperor's car, followed by the empress dowager and the empress. The concubines, the honor guard deacons and the eunuchs and palace maids who served were too many to count at a glance.

For a while, I saw a crowd of people, competing to see the holy face of the emperor and queen, and the voice of long live was endless.

The people of the royal family entered the main hall and took their seats in the viewing pavilion on the palace, and everyone shouted long live Chitose before they got up, and they heard another commotion outside.

The tall horses, dressed in brocade and silver, and the sturdy men of the Kipchak Khanate jumped forward, still surrounded by the gorgeous yurt car.

The accompanying women are outstanding, very different from the Han women, with exquisite clothing and bold clothing, which attracts people all over the street to watch.

"Look, why are they so tall?" Although the few ladies around him were reserved and did not stand up, they all watched without blinking, while covering their faces with small fans and whispering to each other.

"Look, that's that... Rajah! Someone greeted and pointed the small fan to the front of the hall.

The yurt stopped, two plump women were raising the curtains, and a tall man walked down, and everyone subconsciously squinted in the sun.

Jewels are dazzling.......

When the Kipchak Khanate delegation came, the emperor gave banquets only in a small area of the court, and most of them were seeing them for the first time.

Looking at the past again, the person had already stepped into the hall, leaving only a tall back, and a hanging black hair, adorned with locks of jade tassels, as he moved, on the royal blue robe.

"Those people are ugly....rough and stupid..."The ladies all whispered the rumors they had heard.

"But this Jiya Saiyin prince is not ugly...", a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl said with a slight raised voice, drawing everyone's attention.

"I followed my mother into the palace that day....." The girl said with a hint of pride.

The emperor's banquet for the prince of the Kipchak Khanate was not attended by anyone.

The topic of appearance, especially the appearance of men, can always arouse everyone's interest, so many people are busy surrounding her to inquire.

The county lord of Jingyang pursed his lips, sat down with Qiu Yehong, and said, "The granddaughter of the Prime Minister's family, I don't look at how old I am." I even want to be the crown princess, and I run to the palace if I have nothing to do....."

The crown prince is only ten years old this year..... Qiu Yehong smiled, and reached out to twist the face of the county lord of Jingyang.

"Jealous?"

Neither of them received an invitation.

"What, I didn't invite her, she just followed....." The county lord of Jingyang snorted and said, suddenly smiled again, lowered his voice and said to Qiu Yehong, "It's okay if she goes, she escapes the favor of the emperor and queen, and if she can't become a princess, it's .....better to go to the Kipchak Khanate as a concubine."

"What bandits?" Autumn Leaf Red didn't care, and then asked.

The county lord of Jingyang moved to her side, and said in a low voice: "I entered the palace a few days ago, and I heard the palace maids around the queen say that this time the Kipchak Khanate people came, one to show the heart of repair, and the other to ask a princess to come over.....

"Isn't that a kiss?" This Akiba red understands.

The county lord of Jingyang nodded, and was a little worried, and said: "They must marry the princess, but unfortunately the emperor has only one princess now, and she is not yet three years old......

Harmony....It's a good thing for the two countries, but for the princess who was kissed, I'm afraid it's not a good thing..... Autumn leaves sighed, being a princess is also risky.

As they spoke, they heard the sound of gongs and drums, and an official read out a simple message from the emperor and the Kipchak Khanate, to the effect that friendship comes first, and competition comes second.

After the declaration, a wooden target was erected in the center of the field, and the rifle shooting competition began.

A small chamberlain respectfully came over to ask Autumn Leaves.

"The Empress Dowager wants the county lord to come and sit."
