Chapter 256 There are many things in the racecourse
The horse farm in the outer circle of the Luoyang paddock, covering an area larger than the one in the eastern suburbs of the capital, is only not small, early in the morning, a large group of people gathered in the horse farm, riding horses in groups of three or five in the field paved with a light green turf to walk their feet.
Horses of all kinds of bloodlines, tall, strong, strong, fat, and colorful riding costumes, come and go, making people dazzled.
Yi Yu and Li Tai had breakfast, Ah Sheng had already led someone out of the stable with feathers and dark clouds, and the couple led the horses, chatting about horse breeds from different regions, and walked all the way to the outside of the horse farm.
Looking into it from the two fences erected, there are crowds of people riding horses everywhere, talking and laughing near and far, the sound of aggressive horses is low and sometimes high, the blue sky and white clouds, the cool breeze is refreshing, at a glance, it also makes people have a bit of playfulness.
"Let's go around twice." Yi Yu grabbed the neck of the dark cloud, picked the chin at Li Tai, then grabbed the saddle with a smile, stepped on the stirrup with one foot, raised the corner of the skirt, and sat firmly on the horse's back, and did not wait for Li Tai to take the lead in shaking off the reins and driving into the field.
Li Tai looked at her back, took the horsewhip handed by Ah Sheng, turned over on the horse neatly, clamped the horse's belly, shook his head, shook his hooves, and chased after her in the blink of an eye, walking with her.
"Your Highness, let's run from here to the end of the racecourse, you slow down and see if I can keep up."
"Okay."
In order to facilitate the recognition of people, Yi Yu specially asked the clothing bureau to prepare a few sets of light clothes with similar colors before going out.
The early morning sun is not strong, the husband and wife are dressed in porcelain blue, wandering on the grass, a layer of skirt and veil like a cloud, a clean and refreshing, the end is eye-catching, as soon as they enter the crowd, they are watched, not to mention the feather running compared to the bodybuilding of the horse, with the dazzling coat color of the dark clouds, people can guess who this pair of people is just by looking at the back.
The prince who was banned by the palace at two ends in three days has a long memory of this trip, and he didn't play too late with his concubine last night, and he also got up early in the morning, and immediately on the edge of the racecourse, Li Kuan, the king of Chu, and Li You, the king of Wu, also came early, and went to greet him, and stood in one place.
It's hard not to see the porcelain man in the racecourse who is walking with the horses, Li You has been in the water since the last time, and he has a burn, and after waking up, his personality has been a little off the line and has no eyesight, and he didn't see the prince's face unhappy, pointing over there, and shouting excitedly:
"Look, it's the fourth brother, is he riding a feather now? Sure enough, it's a good horse."
Li Chengqian was pushed down the Qujiang River on the Shangyuan Festival that year, and then fell ill with his feet, although the case of murdering the East Palace was tacitly suppressed by Li Shimin, but he still counted the account on Li Tai's head, so he couldn't hurry up.
"Hehe," Li Chengqian laughed strangely, his evil eyes followed Yi Yu Tingting's beautiful back, and his thumb brushed his lower lip, "The fourth man is riding, isn't it a good horse." ”
Li Kuan looked sideways and saw the undisguised dark light in his eyes, as a man, and understood the habits of the prince, of course he knew what he meant with double light, frowned secretly, but said with a smile on his face:
"The horse is a good horse, but it's a pity that there is a master early, the fourth child's stinky temper, hehe, don't say it."
The prince didn't answer, and he didn't know if he had listened to Li Kuan's words, and stared at the figure in the distance, so he turned the horse's head and went to the temporary stand where he was resting in the north.
Li You touched his head and said dejectedly: "Alas, I look at the competition for a while, but I can't even get into the top three, it's really disappointing, and I want to win that set of mutton fat white jade to give to my mother, but I still don't want to compare." ”
Li Kuan laughed and said, "You kid, is that all there is?" Cheer up, wait for the second brother to run with you. ”
Li You used to follow Li Ke, and he was not friendly with Li Kuan's brothers, but his temperament has changed, but he is far more popular than before.
"What, the second brother still plans to compete for the first place?" Li You turned his head to look at Li Tai, who had long since disappeared, and turned back with a disapproving expression.
"Smack", Li Kuan slapped him on the back of the head angrily, and said arrogantly: "Fight, why don't you fight, your sister-in-law is in labor in April, if it is a daughter, she just won this set of white jade to save her dowry"
Li You smiled, rubbed his head, secretly grabbed the reins, shook his head and said, "I still don't run away with the second brother, so as not to get the time, eat the fourth brother's ass ash with you, hehe"
After saying that, the person jumped out, Li Kuan cried and laughed and withdrew the slap that couldn't fall, touched the horse's mane, and when he ran away, he didn't catch up, turned around and looked at the stands with yellow cloth over there, remembering Li Chengqian's eyes, and frowned again.
Li Shimin rushed to the racecourse, a few horns, the crowd gathered around the stands, the voice was a few points sharper than the rooster and the waiter announced today's color head, the morning horse, the man's one, the first prize, sure enough, is a set of mutton fat white jade jewelry.
I don't know if Li Shimin did it on purpose, and asked two chamberlains to escort this set of priceless jewelry around the side of the stands, ensuring that the princesses, princesses, wives, and young ladies of all the provinces could see it clearly, and first branded this group of women with chicken blood.
The finely carved white jade ornaments have a delicate luster flowing throughout the body, just looking at it, I feel that my heart is soft and smooth, and even the jade can't help but feel a little bit of heart, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Li Tai.
Li Tai took the leather wrist handed by Ah Sheng and clasped it in his hand, and received her little eyes without looking up, "Do you like it?" ”
Yi Yu's eyes fluttered, and he held down his itch, obviously he liked it and wanted it, but he pretended not to care and said: "It's okay, you also know that I don't know much about jade." ”
Li Tai didn't say anything, changed his protective gear, Li Kuan called him from a distance, took the horsewhip handed by Ah Sheng, and led the feather that was bowing his head in the arch grass, and walked towards the starting point of a group of people who had been waiting for him earlier.
Seeing that he was leaving like this, Yi Yu didn't even say a word about the scene, but could only stare dryly, because he was not interested, he stomped his feet angrily and laughed, and was about to go back to the stands to sit, when he turned his head, and almost bumped into the person who was standing behind her at some point.
"Yikes."
"Princess Wei."
The visitor took two steps back, stared at her intently for a while, and then saluted and said, "Offended." ”
Yi Yu recognized at a glance that this was the Miss Xue who was in a traffic jam outside the palace yesterday morning, and when she came to look for trouble again, she was not in the mood to deal with it, so she waved her hand and walked around her.
"Out of the way."
After walking a few steps, he found that someone was following behind him, and he didn't mean to speak, so Yu Yu stopped in wonder, turned around and said:
"Why follow me?"
Xue Keqin lowered her head, rubbed her toes on the ground, and said in a muffled voice, "I remember." ”
"What?"
"Volume XXXVIII, Part III, Fourteenth Word from the Bottom, Thirteenth Word from the Bottom."
"And then?"
"I, I want to say, those two words are indeed the same as what the princess said, I am, I really memorized it, if you don't believe it, you can test me again, I will definitely be able to answer this time."
Yi Yu understood what was going on, and while secretly laughing, there were really such a more serious people, and suddenly felt that this little girl was a little stupid, and she was interested in talking, Yu Yu hugged her arms and said to her:
"Do you endorse just to make people compare? If that's the case, I advise you not to waste any more time, books are for people to read, memorize because you like it, and recite a book in order to compare and win with others, even if you can memorize it backwards, it is not really considered to have read it, Miss Xue's memory is indeed far better than ordinary people, but your attitude of arbitrary squandering is really difficult for people to agree. ”
Xue Keqin's face turned red at what Yu Yu said, and she raised her head and wanted to defend herself, but she couldn't find any words to refute: "I'm not, I, I-"
Seeing that this little girl is not hopeless, she will speak out to admonish, and after speaking, she doesn't care how the little girl is hit, and hands the dark clouds into Ah Sheng's hands, and walks to the stands alone.
Gao Yang pulled Qin Yao to prepare for the next women's competition, but there was no one, and the jade who tried to sit on the side seat was seen by the sharp-eyed Princess Wu, so she sent someone to invite her over, but helplessly, she could only sit next to the crown princess and Princess Wu again.
"Later, the daughter and daughter are better than horses, are the four brothers and sisters going?" Princess Wu took the dried fruit on the plate with her tooth hairpin, turned her head and talked to Yiyu.
"I'm not good at horsemanship, so I won't join in the fun."
"Oh, by the way, I remember hearing that you fell off your horse?"
"Well, there was a time, after a long time, I can't remember clearly, who did the third sister-in-law listen to?"
Princess Wu sneered, "This is a word, who remembers which one said it." ”
The crown princess squeaked on the side, "Don't you know that your third sister-in-law is the number one jack of all trades, and her ears are very smart." ”
Yi Yu was not easy to answer, and it happened that the horn sounded again, and everyone shifted their eyes to the starting point not far away, listening to the chatter in the stands, Yi Yu covered his forehead with one hand to block the light, sat up straight and looked around, and after looking for a while, he found Li Tai's back from the black crowd.
"Knock Knock"
"Whew-"
With the steady sound of drums and the sound of high-pitched trumpets, the crowd of men rushing out in a majestic manner, dusty, hooves ringing, a few neighings, deafening.
"Run, run, run, sir—"
On the side of the women's seat, I don't know which loud voice roared first, and after a while, one or two voices rang out, and soon there was an uproar, out of control.
The atmosphere here was hearty, and Yu Yu was also encouraged, seeing that Princess Wu and several princesses stood up and shook their handkerchiefs, they were about to shout two voices to vent, but their shoulders were pushed from behind.
She turned her head, her eyes full of handkerchief sleeves flying wildly, dazzling, barely able to see the person who came, the first glance was raw, the second glance was a little familiar, and she was struggling to think about who the round-faced young lady in front of her was pouting and tiger-eyed, and the other party was already facing the noise around her, bent down, and reluctantly sent a sentence into her ear.
"If you don't want people to know who your biological father is, come with me."
“... Miss Fang? ”
Yi Yu squinted her eyes, and finally remembered that the one in front of her was not her half-sister, the eldest lady of the Fang family...
