At noon on this day, Ning Yihan was lying alone on the recliner in his palace, and there were fruit pastries on the table next to him. I saw him holding a book in one hand, looking at it leisurely, and taking the fruit next to him from time to time with the other hand and eating a bite or two.
Just when Ning Yihan was looking energetic, a subordinate walked in and said respectfully: "Third Highness, Second Highness has come down!" ”
"Let him in!"
"Yes!" After the subordinate finished speaking, he retreated respectfully.
After a while, Ning Yuchen walked in. Ning Yihan knew that Ning Yuchen was coming, so he put the book in his hand aside, got up and saluted: "Yihan has seen the second emperor brother!" ”
Ning Yuchen said with a smile: "The third brother is polite! ”
As the two spoke, they politely sat down on their chairs, and after the servant brought a good warm tea and put it at the table for two, they withdrew.
Ning Yuchen said: "The third brother returned to China, and the elder brother should have come to visit him as soon as possible, but he had a lot of things on hand, so he dragged on for a while, and only now did he come to visit you." Please don't blame the third brother! ”
"The second brother is polite, the second brother can take time to see Yihan in his busy schedule, and Yihan is already grateful. So, how could Yihan blame the second brother? ”
Ning Yuchen took out a delicate box from his arms and handed it to Ning Yihan, after Ning Yihan took it, Ning Yuchen explained: "Yihan, this box is a wedding gift for the third brother in advance. Inside is a jade comb. As the saying goes: a comb to the end of the hair; two combs of white hair and eyebrows; Three combs and grandchildren; Fourth, combs are always connected; Five combs and shun weng 娌; Six combs of the blessed homeland; Seven combs are auspicious to avoid; Eight combs and a million profits; Nine combs and hundreds of flavors; There are no taboos for ten combs! For my brother, I hope that your married life can be harmonious, beautiful, safe and happy! ”
Chun Yihan sent someone to take down the box and put it away, and then thanked him: "Second brother, this gift is really heartfelt!" When I get married, I will pass it on to Princess Anle. I think she will like it too, so I will thank the second brother here for Princess Anle. ”
Ning Yuchen said with an easy-going face: "The third brother is really polite, I have told the third brother countless times, between you and my brother, there is no need to say thanks, why can't the third brother remember?" ”
Ning Yihan laughed, "Okay, well, the second brother has said so sincerely, if I am polite, then it will really be outside." ”
"The third brother thought like this earlier, wouldn't it be good?" Ning Yuchen said, and stood up from the chair, "Third brother, the second brother has also come to see you, and the second brother has a lot of things on hand, so he won't leave them all." Third brother, the coming day is long, let's continue another day. ”
Ning Yihan also stood up, "Okay, second brother go slowly!" ”
After Ning Yuchen left, Ning Yihan instantly put a smile on his face. He sat down in the recliner and continued to read. His hand reached to the table beside him, took a piece of pastry, and read it silently as he savored it.
After a while, a dark shadow crossed by. The black shadow knelt down on one knee and said, "Master! ”
Ning Yihan still looked at the book, didn't raise his head, and said, "I didn't summon you over, are you here?" ”
"Master, the eldest prince ordered his subordinates to give the princess a flattering medicine on the day of the princess and her relatives." As he spoke, Ying took out the small medicine bag given by Ning Hao from his arms.
After Ning Yihan heard this, he mocked: "It turns out that the eldest brother is not very stupid, at least he didn't send someone to kill the princess of Yongchun Kingdom." ”
"Master, what should I do next? Please make it clear! ”
"Not only do you have to drug the princess, but you also have to send someone to assassinate the princess. However, don't hurt the princess, you must ensure that she arrives safely in Ning Ao Kingdom and is close to me. Also, I have shown me all the human and material evidence, I can't let them die, and don't let them escape. Understand? ”
After listening to it, he also understood most of it in his heart, so he said confidently: "The subordinates understand, and please ask the master to put it down, and the subordinates will definitely live up to the master's expectations." ”
Ning Yihan waved his hand, "Stand down!" ”
"Yes"
After the shadow was finished, he quickly retreated.
Early this morning, the palace of Yongchun Kingdom was boiling. The buildings of the palaces and courtyards are adorned with ornaments, and the corridors of the palace are covered with colorful lanterns.
Today's weather is clear, and the entire palace is full of flowers and joy. Because of today's special day, it is an annual Kemari Tournament. Therefore, the princes of each fiefdom were thousands of miles away from the fiefdom, and they hurried back quickly. The maidservants in the palace and the servants in the palace were also busy and overwhelmed because they had to prepare for the Keju Contest in advance.
At noon, in the corridor, Chun Yu Hanshuang and two palace maids were hurrying to the venue of the Keju Competition. When I arrived at the arena, I found that the area of the arena was wide and vast, and a covered platform was established at the front. A seat is placed on the high platform, which is covered with cushions, and on the seat is Chun Yuzheng, who is wearing a dragon robe. And Chun Yuzheng sat on both sides of the queen and the imperial concubine. Looking to the side, there is the envoy of Ning Aoguo.
Three long stairs were erected on both sides of the arena, and there were guardrails made of white jade in front of the stairs. Behind the three-story staircase is the Gaopeng seat, which is cushioned with a futon.
And each seat has melon and fruit cakes, strong tea preserves. In addition to melon and fruit cakes, strong tea and preserves, there are also spirits on the emperor's row of seats.
Today's coming is not the prince and the princess, the concubine, or the royal relatives and relatives who came to watch it with their families. On both sides of the stairs of the arena, men sit on the left, and women and children sit on the right.
The entire arena was surrounded by a red line into a wide rectangle, about 400 meters wide. And in many corners of the track, there will be servants and slaves, temple guards, and servants for dispatch. At the end of the track, outside the red line, twenty horses were brought in.
The horses were neatly lined up, and a group of small guards were guarding the horses.
The two sides of the arena are diagonally opposed, and there are two tents, one black and one white, in the corner outside the red line. The black tent had a proud character written on it, and the white tent had a pure character written on it.
Chun Yu Frost thought that this tent should be a place for these kickers to change their clothes and drink water and rest.
Before Chun Yu Hanshuang could look and think more, Chun Yu Hanwei, who ran behind her at some point, grabbed her sleeve and pulled her to the front.
Chun Yu Hanwei blamed while running: "Twelfth sister, you don't know how to grab a position when you come, why are you standing there stupidly?" ”
Chun Yu Hanwei pulled Chun Yu Hanshuang, and after a while, he ran to the middle of the seat on the stairs, and the two grabbed a high position and sat down.
It's really standing high and looking far away, after Chun Yu Hanshuang grabbed such a high position, the vision in front of him also broadened. She saw two large wall clocks in front of and behind the arena, twenty meters apart. Standing on both sides are different kicking and bowing experts from the two countries, Yongchunguo's experts wear white tight sleeves, white masks on their faces, and white knee pads on their arms, wrists, and knees, while Ning Aoguo's experts are all wearing tight-sleeved black clothes, they wear black masks, and they are also wearing black knee pads. There are two long flagpole stones in black and white on both sides of the field, and black and white flags are placed on the ground. There were also four temple people, two palace maids, and two guards standing next to the flag.
Now, the invitees have not yet arrived, and the competition has not yet started, and the experts of the two countries on the field are only preparing for the game.
On the seat on the left, a handsome man dressed in black is sitting on a seat eating snacks. I saw that his face was like a crown of jade, his facial features were exquisite, his eyes were bright, his neck was like porcelain, the jade tree was in the wind, and his air was lofty.
is such a handsome man, but his appearance is extremely inconsistent with his appearance. I saw him eat a snack one bite at a time, and when he was thirsty, he directly held the teapot and poured tea into his mouth.
After eating some pastries and drinking some tea, he left his seat and ran all the way to the outside of the arena. I came to a pavilion and sat on a stone chair next to it.
"Huh? Isn't this His Royal Highness King Jin, the Eighth Prince? "A plain-looking man dressed in green, dressed in gorgeous clothes, followed by two young men. It seems that he is not the son of an ordinary family, he should have followed a certain royal relative to watch the Keju competition.
As soon as the man's voice fell, the footsteps of four people came from behind him, and the man looked back and saw that four small servants hurried over.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" After the four little guys came panting, you asked me one by one: "Your Highness, you can make it easy for the minions to find it!" ”
"Your Highness, you can't run around in the future, otherwise, if you run away, the minions will die in a hurry!"
“……”
As soon as the four little guys finished speaking, they only heard a cough from the man in green.
"Ahem, ahem!"
The four little servants heard the voice, and when they saw the man in green, they all saluted respectfully and said, "The slave greets the son!" ”
The man in green took out a sachet from his arms, walked to the side of the Eighth Prince, and mocked: "I heard that His Royal Highness King Jin is crazy and is a fool!" I don't know how stupid he is, let this son try it today, to see if he is crazy or not. ”
As he spoke, the man opened the sachet and poured the medicinal herbs into his hand. Then he walked to the side of the Eighth Prince, and said with a malicious smile: "His Royal Highness King Jin, after playing for so long, are you hungry?" ”
The Eighth Emperor nodded childishly, and the man put the medicinal herbs in his hand to his mouth and lied to him: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I have something very delicious in my hand, would you like to give it a try?" ”
The Eighth Prince smiled stupidly, and he nodded stupidly and said, "Wow, wow!" ”
As the eighth prince spoke, he stretched out his hand without hesitation, and the four minions saw it, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Qi Qi Shizi, my Royal Highness has not been in good health since he was a child, and I also ask Shizi not to make such jokes, if the prince is angry, you can come to the minions." ”
When the man heard this, he looked displeased, and mocked: "It is really strange that a madman can teach such a loyal dog. However, the people under His Royal Highness King Jin are too reckless, and when the master speaks, he dares to interject at will, and he dares to ignore the master. The man said, snorting coldly, "Come on, give me a palm!" ”
After the man finished speaking, the two little guys behind the man stepped forward, and without hesitation, they slapped the four minions in the face one by one. Those four minions are also considered four men, even if they are beaten with red faces, they grit their teeth and do not make a sound.
"Is the son of your Hou Mansion such a dog who fights with power and bullies?" A woman's sonorous voice reached everyone's ears.
Everyone looked at the voice, and a woman in a blue robe with loose hair walked towards them. The woman's pace is unrestrained and chic, the woman's fairy posture is jade, her complexion is snow-white, her eyebrows are green, and her lotus face is spring. She is a stunning beauty who is one in a hundred.
When the man saw the woman, he was shocked. I can't help but secretly say in my heart: She is Chu Huiyin, the daughter of General Chu Kechu, an invincible opponent in the southern and northern wars, who doesn't know a sword in the world?
The heroine of Yongchun Country - Chu Huiyin!
How did she come here? Could it be that she also came to see the ball game?
She is a tricky and difficult woman, not afraid of life and death, and strong in martial arts. At the age of ten, she went to the battlefield with her father, killed countless enemies, and at the age of fifteen, she repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and now she was named the general of the expedition to the east, and she was stationed in Liaodong with military power in her hand, and the Liaodong was governed in an orderly manner, and even the emperor couldn't help but praise it. Therefore, it is better to provoke such a woman less.
After a while, the man came back to his senses and made everyone stop. The man didn't want to entangle with Chu Huiyin more, so he waved his hand, snorted coldly, and said with a disdainful face: "Let's go!" ”
After the man and the two little servants left, Chu Huiyin stepped forward and said with concern: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, are you okay?" ”
The eighth prince looked up and saw Chu Huiyin's first glance, and was suddenly stunned. He just looked at Chu Huiyin in front of him so quietly, and the whole person was motionless. After a long while, he continued to smirk and smirk madly: "Beautiful sister, I'm fine!" He smiled as he spoke.
When Chu Huiyin heard this, his face showed sadness, and he sighed lightly: "His Royal Highness King Jin, do you really, don't you remember Ayin?" ”
The Eighth Prince didn't listen to what Chu Huiyin was saying at all, but just smirked and said, "Beautiful sister, I'm hungry!" Noel wants to eat! ”
Chu Huiyin hid the sadness in his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll take you to eat!" ”
Chu Huiyin said, and left with the Eighth Prince. And the four minions followed.
