Chapter 9 - Grace on Horseback (Part II)
Wei Yu did not boast about being jealous for the sake of fighting for the wind, the girls in Weifu have been proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since they were children, and they have not fallen behind in equestrian archery. Wei Yu loves horseback riding, and she enjoys the feeling of galloping on the horse and the wind blowing in her face.
Zhao Shufang was also listening, feeling that Wei Yu was exaggerating, although all the ladies in the capital could ride horses more or less, they were only at the level of being able to run a few steps with the reins.
"The Nangong family has been fighting for the country for generations, and Miss Nangong has been raised in such an environment since she was a child, although her equestrian skills are not comparable to His Royal Highness, the prince and others, but they are no different from ordinary men. If my sister doesn't have such riding skills, don't be embarrassed. ”
Wei Yu pretended to be shy, but his eyes were full of confidence, "Sister just rest assured, my sister knows that her every move represents the prince's mansion in the eyes of outsiders, and my sister will never dare to open Haikou to shame His Royal Highness." ”
Yuan Qi also expressed his deep support, completely ignoring the crown princess, "Jiao Niang can rest assured to play, I am waiting for you here alone." ”
Nangong Yun was given a war book as soon as she finished running the horse, and the whole person was like being beaten with chicken blood.
"Who is it? Who's going to compete with me in equestrianism. ”
Wei Yu chose the horse and whip, and he was really wearing a horse running costume, but he really had a bit of a posture, "Miss Nangong, I was very envious when I saw your heroic appearance on the racecourse just now, why don't you be together?" ”
Nangong Yun looked at Wei Yu's weak face and delicate body, she didn't look like she could ride a horse, and her tone couldn't help but be a little disappointed,
"The courtiers should be willing to accompany the side concubine."
Wei Yu smiled at her kindly, she wanted to be friends with Nangong Yun, first, she had heard that she was hearty and generous, and secondly, with the reputation of Nangong Mansion, she might be useful in the future. The two of them then led the horses into the racecourse one after the other, and the eyes of the audience were attracted.
There were a few daughters who looked at Wei Yu and wanted to compete with Nangong Yun and felt that she was beyond her strength.
"What's wrong with the side concubine, who in the capital doesn't know that the young lady of the Nangong family is excellent in all equestrian skills."
Wei Fan really felt a little funny when he listened to it on the side, others didn't know, would their sisters still not know Wei Yu's equestrianism, this kind of unexpected thing would attract everyone's attention.
Nangong Yun was going to play around, but after watching Wei Yu's posture on the horse, she realized that this prince and concubine might really be hidden, so she was more serious.
Wei Yu hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, but he wasn't very rusty, adjusted his position, and said, "Don't respond to my identity and let me, show your true skills, two laps, the first to win." ”
Nangong Yun was aroused, "Then the courtier is welcome." ”
The crowd of onlookers only heard the sound of the gong, and the two horses galloped out, on a par with each other. The fifth prince had already returned from hunting, and he was glad that he hadn't missed this good show, so he had the courage to come to Yuan Qi's side, "I didn't expect it, the imperial sister-in-law's equestrian skills are good." ”
Yuan Qi stared at Wei Yu and didn't speak. After a long time, Yuan Qin heard a sentence, how could the lonely Jiao Niang be bad? Yuan Qin touched his nose, how can he be loved everywhere.
On the horse farm, Nangong Yun was slightly ahead, she really didn't expect Wei Yu's equestrian skills to be on par with her, or even better. If it weren't for the fact that he was riding a horse raised since he was a child today, he already had a tacit understanding with himself, and I was afraid that she would be left behind.
Wei Yu was very calm, out of breath and without a beat, and kept following behind Nangong Yun with a few steps. Two laps, she was ready to accelerate in the final half-lap.
Just when everyone thought that Nangong Yun would win narrowly, Wei Yu's horse suddenly overtook him, and the horses of the two arrived almost at the same time.
For a while, the young ladies in the field applauded, Wei Yu jumped off the horse and gave a look in the direction of Yuan Qi, in Yuan Qi's opinion, it was very cute, like a milk child who won and asked for candy.
Nangong Yun looked excited, "Niangniang's equestrian skills are really exquisite, and the courtiers admire them." ”
Wei Yu looked back and smiled, she could have surpassed Nangong Yun at the end, but she chose to reach the finish line together.
"I was just lucky to get a draw."
Everyone thought that Nangong Yun had more or less conceded, but they heard,
The courtiers saw that the posture of the lady on the horse was very professional, so she used all her strength, and the courtier's wind was ridden since she was a child, and she had already had a tacit understanding with the courtier. Today, Niangniang just used an unfamiliar horse to tie with the courtiers, which shows that Niangniang's equestrianism is indeed above the courtiers. ”
Wei Yu knew that Nangong Yun was a man of one and the same, and he had a clear temperament of love and hate, so he said in a timely manner, "If I have the opportunity, I will invite Miss Nangong to ride a horse together, and I hope that Miss Nangong will not refuse me when I see it." ”
Nangong Yun nodded, she was also willing to associate with such a woman.
Some of the courtiers present had already guessed Wei Yu's true intentions, this competition was a small matter of horseback riding, and the most important thing was to be friends with the daughter of Nangong Mansion.
Yuan Qin also saw it, and really admired the wit of the imperial sister-in-law, "The royal brother really married a good side concubine, this prince can't pull a party in the government, isn't the relationship between women in this mansion the same." ”
Yuan Qi's face was like spring, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden, he didn't care about the relationship behind it, he only felt that his Jiao Niang was really outstanding.
After Wei Yu finished chatting, he walked in the direction of Yuan Qi, with a look of pride of a little woman, Yuan Qin also left with acquaintance, Wei Yu went directly into Yuan Qi's arms,
"Your Highness, the concubine didn't disgrace you just now."
Yuan Qi felt the gaze of the man present towards the girl in his arms, and couldn't help but have a headache,
"Don't be so aggressive in the future."
Wei Yu smiled happily, "Is Your Highness jealous?" ”
Yuan Qi did not deny it, and stroked Wei Yu's back, he was afraid that he had really fallen for Wei Yu's love poison.
"Most ordinary women practice female red, how can you like to ride a horse?"
Wei Yu pouted coquettishly, "The female red of the concubine is also set, and His Royal Highness can pay attention to the wedding dress of the concubine, which is made by the concubine herself." ”
Yuan Qi had some impressions of Wei Yu's wedding dress, but he felt that the embroidery on it was very good, and he thought that the embroidery lady helped to do it together, but he didn't expect Wei Yu's female popularity to be so powerful.
"It's a good embroidery."
Wei Yu raised his willow eyebrows proudly, "That is, the concubine has been praised for her intelligence since she was a child. ”
Yuan Qi pinched Wei Yu's Xiaoqiong's nose, and his tone was very doting, "That's not it, the lonely little girl is still the first narcissist in the world." ”
Wei Yu pretended to be angry, "I thought that I would embroider a dress for Your Highness when I went back, but it seems that there is no need for it." ”
Yuan Qi was amused by Wei Yu's childishness, and his big palm stroked Wei Yu's back and slowly went down.
Wei Yu was taken aback, and immediately begged for mercy, "Your Highness can't, the concubine will do it for you." ”
Yuan Qi looked at Wei Yu's trick-like face and couldn't help laughing.
The others looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the side concubine Niangniang, and the concubine in the main room was completely left out in the cold. It's just that this concubine is not only beautiful and talented, but also first-class means, if the first princess gives birth to a boy and half a girl in the future, this may be pressed on the head of the princess in the future.
