Chapter 358: Increasing the Chips
But this is her chance! Here's a chance to prove that she's more capable than Luo Yunshuang!
Although the emperor was a little suspicious of Luo Yunshuang's request, he still readily agreed, "Yes, tomorrow the autumn hunt begins, I look forward to the two of them to test the art of riding and archery, and the two of them will perform well!" ”
On this night, the whole hall was staggered, singing and dancing......
Luo Yunshuang had just returned to the room, preparing to bathe and change clothes, and was just about to open her mouth to ask someone to prepare hot water, when Ning Qi's big hand stretched out her waist, and Luo Yunshuang was coldly pulled into his arms!
"Xianggong, I'm so tired!" Luo Yunshuang took advantage of the situation to hug Ning Qi's neck and said pitifully.
Ning Qi ignored it, took her little hand and rubbed it gently, and said with a smile, "The lady really put on a good show tonight, and she almost even hid it from her husband!" ”
"But in the end, I didn't hide it from you, I knew that Xianggong was so smart that he wouldn't fail to see it!" Luo Yunshuang said with a smile.
"Yes, aren't you afraid that your husband won't be able to see it?" Ning Qi said, and the strength in his hand suddenly increased!
This guy really wants to get her in trouble!
Luo Yunshuang panicked in her heart, she knew that if she didn't explain today's matter to Ning Qi clearly, he must be unhappy!
Who knows, Luo Yunshuang was about to explain, but Ning Qi suddenly let go of his hand and said with a smile, "You, you always don't let me worry!" ”
Luo Yunshuang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a flattering smile, "Xianggong, you're not angry with me!" ”
Ning Qi pulled her down, hugged her shoulders, closed her eyes and said, "Sleep, since you want to test riding and shooting tomorrow, this king will ask you for a good horse!" ”
Luo Yunshuang also wanted to ask who to ask for a horse, so Ning Qi's slender legs wrapped around her, hugged her neck, and closed her eyes as if she was asleep.
Luo Yunshuang also closed her eyes, and thought in a daze between half sleep and half dream, when the autumn hunt is over, Dugu Haotian has returned to Qianlu, I'm afraid they won't stay long in Daning......
The night was long, and the entire capital fell into silence, but there was still a bright light left in the prince's mansion.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was confined by the emperor, and even at today's dinner for the Qianlu envoy, the emperor did not call Ning Huaiyuan to the palace to participate.
In the study, the two figures looked very unreal in the dim candlelight.
"Really?"
Ning Huaiyuan's voice was shocked with a hint of shock, and he said coldly, "Hmph, now my father doesn't take me seriously anymore. We need to plan early! ”
"Tomorrow's autumn hunting, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go?" Prime Minister Jiang asked.
"Go! Even if my father doesn't want to see me again, I still have the name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I still can't stop being allowed to appear on this occasion! Besides, Prince Ben is still waiting to see her show! Ning Huaiyuan said angrily.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry, tomorrow's affairs have already been arranged! Not to mention that her riding and archery skills can't be compared with the county lord of Qianlu Nangong, even if she wins by luck, she won't be able to come back tomorrow, so let's talk about it! Prime Minister Jiang narrowed his eyes and said gloomily.
Xishan in the suburbs of Beijing, just west of the Royal Horse Farm, is a woodland surrounded by the entire West Mountain, which is the royal hunting ground of Daning.
Autumn is high and cool, the weather is sunny, the royal flag hunting, according to the ancestral system of Daning, the autumn hunting time, the royal children must participate in both men and women.
On the square in front of the Hunting Ground Palace, everyone sat in order according to their status, and there were melons and fruits in front of them, and there was a harmonious atmosphere.
Under the emperor's head sat the crown prince Ning Huaiyuan, although he was grounded for many days, his spirit was very high, and he had no intention of malaise.
Luo Yunshuang sat beside Ning Qi, lowered her head, but the corner of her eyes looked at the prince Ning Huaiyuan who was not far away again and again, wasn't this guy grounded? Can it still come out?
The third prince Ning Huaiyu gathered next to the second prince Ning Huaijing, and was whispering something, Ning Huaijing was still that cold and indifferent appearance, the two brothers had a good relationship and had always gotten along like this. And Dugu Haotian was regarded as a guest, and Nangong Youruo sat opposite the princes.
Luo Yunshuang and Nangong Youruo's riding and archery competition was the question Luo Yunshuang chose, she did not plan to follow the usual best-of-three competition method, but chose one game to determine the winner!
"Emperor Daning, since this competition can be regarded as adding luster to Daning's hunting, in order to make this play more beautiful, I am willing to add more chips to win the position of Princess Ningxiao!"
Nangong Youruo is confident, for her, if she tries others, she may still lose, but the competition is a victory for her, so she is full of confidence as soon as she speaks, obviously she has been prepared!
"Oh? What chips does the Nangong County Lord plan to add? The emperor asked with interest.
"If I lose, I will personally return to Qianlu and give away 10,000 taels of gold with 10,000 good horses!"
As soon as Nangong Youruo's words fell, almost everyone present gasped, this Nangong County Lord is really a big breath!
With 10,000 good horses, you can form an iron cavalry on the Daning border!
Nangong Youruo must be the winner in his hands, otherwise, how could he have such a big mouth!
You must know that if Daning forms an iron horse, if there is a war with Qianlu, then this iron horse will be directly used against Qianlu!
Even the emperor's face could not hide his joy, he knew very well that this bargaining chip must be part of Nangong Youruo's dowry when he married Ning Qi! If you have Nangong Youruo, you will get one-half of Qianlu's military power, this is not false at all!
But he knew very well in his heart that Ning Qi would never abandon Luo Yunshuang and marry Nangong Youruo, these 10,000 good horses could see that the emperor couldn't eat the uncomfortable tightness, but now things have taken a turn for the better, if Luo Yunshuang wins Nangong Youruo, then he can win this 10,000 good horses!
For a while, everyone was talking, and many people's eyes were looking towards Ning Qi, to be precise, towards Luo Yunshuang.
If Nangong Youruo adds such a large amount of chips, what about her? What chips can she Luo Yunshuang add?
Even if the Marquis of Zhenyuan has great military achievements, but after all, he is now in the Huyan grassland, Luo Yunshuang is just a married daughter, what can he come up with?
Luo Yunshuang glanced at Ning Qi, the man shook her hand, which made her heart warm, she knew what Ning Qi meant, that is, he would support her no matter what.
I have to admit that even Luo Yunshuang is tempted by the 10,000 good horses, you must know that Ning Qi will definitely face a big war in the future, and how much capital can 10,000 war horses add to him!
Looking at Luo Yunshuang's gaze, Ning Qi finally opened his mouth coldly, "If Shuang'er loses, what do you want?" ”
Hearing Ning Qi's words, Nangong Youruo's cheeks turned red, and the arrogant realization of the long time slowly looked at Luo Yunshuang, and said coldly, "If I win, then I want her hand!" ”
"What? I knew you were uneasy! ”
Ning Huaiyu blurted out, except for him, no one in the entire square dared to speak anymore, and the audience was silent all of a sudden, only the roaring mountain peaks were blowing the flag and hunting.
Between Ning Qi's eagle-like cold eyes, Nangong Youruo, who had always been arrogant, involuntarily retreated twice, and his arrogant arrogance suddenly weakened by a few points.
At this moment, Dugu Haotian chuckled, "What, little prince Ning, little princess, don't dare?" ”
"Originally, it was just to give an unrelated person a face, since some people don't know how to raise and don't want this face, then the king and the princess can also not give it!" Ning Qi said coldly.
He had seen Luo Yunshuang's ability, however, since he had long been confident in his heart that Luo Yunshuang would definitely win, but he would never agree to take his wife's hand as a bet, he would not do this kind of thing!
As soon as these words came out, Luo Yunshuang's heart became warmer, although he had long known that he occupied a very important position in Ning Qi's heart, but in the face of ten thousand good horses, he refused without the slightest hesitation, which still moved Luo Yunshuang very much.
She involuntarily turned her head to look at the man next to her, only to see that the lines of his side face were smooth and handsome, and at this time, his cold face exuded a domineering spirit that did not give an inch!
"If Luo Yunshuang doesn't agree, what leverage can she have?" Nangong Youruo snorted coldly, with Dugu Haotian's support, she suddenly had confidence again!
Ning Qi was about to speak, but Luo Yunshuang took the first step to speak, "Xianggong, this is my competition with the Nangong County Lord, the chips should naturally be my thing, since the Nangong County Lord is interested, then I am willing to use one of my hands as a bargaining chip to compete with the Nangong County Lord in this game and cheer for the autumn hunt!" ”
Ning Qi was about to stop it, but Luo Yunshuang gently stopped him and said, "Nangong County Lord, since you took the initiative to add chips, then I, Luo Yunshuang, also want to add a little more chips, I don't know if Nangong County Lord dares to take it?" ”
Nangong Youruo snorted coldly, "Hmph, what do you say, even if you say it, the county lord will still be afraid that you won't succeed?" ”
Luo Yunshuang said lightly, "If Luo Yunshuang loses, don't say a hand, I will even give you this head." ”
"Frost!" As soon as the words fell, Ning Qi turned her head violently, looking at Luo Yunshuang in disbelief, looking at her side face, it was obviously such a charming and supple little face, but how could she be so stubborn!
How could she make such a decision! Even if her riding and archery skills are good, there is no guarantee that there will be no one in 10,000 mistakes!
Nangong Youruo laughed out loud and said disdainfully, "Luo Yunshuang, how much is your head worth?" What does the county want your head to do? The bloody lord of this county is still dirty! ”
Who knows, Luo Yunshuang not only did not get angry, but asked lightly, "Oh? Then dare to ask the county lord of Nangong, isn't it ridiculous that you just said that you want my hand? ”
One sentence made Nangong speechless, and she said angrily, "Say it, what do you want!" ”
Everyone was also stunned, yes, what can Luo Yunshuang do with Nangong County? Isn't her purpose to keep her status as Princess Ningxiao?
