Chapter 290: Test Ride
Many officials outside the dragon chariot stood quietly with their heads bowed, and the eldest princess inside the dragon chariot had already taken off her shoes, revealing her white and flawless jade feet.
The flying carpet seemed to have spirituality, and the first time the eldest princess stepped into the dragon chariot, it wrapped her jade feet.
The flying carpet envelops the eldest princess's jade feet, but it does not hinder the eldest princess's movements.
I saw the eldest princess walking to the deepest part of the dragon chariot without hindrance, and every step of the flying carpet greeted her feet, giving people the feeling that the eldest princess was giving birth to a lotus step by step.
This magical scene was also secretly taken into the eyes of the officials, and while lamenting the perfection of the eldest princess's jade feet, they were also shocked by the wonder of the flying carpet.
The eldest princess walked to the seat in the depths of the dragon chariot and turned to sit down, without the eldest princess turning her head to look, the flying carpet had already wrapped her body behind the eldest princess, causing her body to fall softly on the cushion of the seat.
The eldest princess felt a little magical, and from the few steps she had just taken, she could clearly feel that the flying carpet could not bear her weight and could not hold her up completely.
But this alone was enough, even Liu Xinyan and the refiner who transformed it did not expect this whimsical idea to have such an effect.
The eldest princess was also amazed by the comfort of her body, and the flying carpet and the upholstered seats were even more comfortable than the soft collapse of her palace.
The eldest princess was completely relaxed at this time, and the whole person was a little lazy and lay in the flying carpet, the eldest princess seemed to be gently embraced from behind, and the comfort made her almost fall asleep.
The culture of the Tang Dynasty in this dynasty is relatively open and inclusive, even if it is like just now, the officials "accidentally" saw the jade feet of the eldest princess, it is not a capital crime committed below.
It was precisely because of the previous glimpse that the officials outside Long Ran were itching like cat scratches, and at this time, seeing that Long Ran was quiet, they couldn't help but peek inside.
I saw that the eyes of the eldest princess in the dragon chariot seemed to be squinting open, and there was a trace of satisfaction and confusion in her eyes, and the pale golden flying carpet half wrapped the body of the eldest princess, and from the perspective of the official, you could just see a seductive golden curve, which was the graceful posture of the eldest princess.
The flying carpet fluttered in the wind behind the eldest princess, turning the eldest princess into a flower fairy in a golden lotus.
The obsession and shock in the eyes of the officials were mixed, not to mention whether the next test ride would go smoothly, everyone was already convinced that today's event was half the success of the scene in front of them.
Wang Ze, who was among the officials, had gloomy eyes and secretly exclaimed in his heart.
On the other side, Wang Shangshu began to hesitate, if Liu Xinyan won the appreciation of the eldest princess today, why didn't he take the opportunity to help Liu Xinyan, so it would be a good choice to put on the eldest princess's thigh.
Everyone present had their own ghosts, but Liu Xinyan and Li Dong were secretly relieved.
The eldest princess rested in the dragon chariot for a long time, and came back to her senses with some satisfaction, and when she looked at Liu Xinyan again, she already had a little appreciation.
"Yes, this palace is very satisfied, Lord Sun has done a good job this time, and there is a reward!" The eldest princess's voice came from within the dragon chariot.
When Sun Shangshu heard this, he hurriedly saluted, and his voice was full of joy.
The eldest princess then said to Liu Xinyan, "You also have merit for this errand, and you will be rewarded together!"
Liu Xinyan saluted and thanked him.
Wang Ze on the side was a little anxious when he heard this, and his eyes kept looking at Wang Shangshu, but at this time, Wang Shangshu began to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and didn't pay attention to Wang Ze at all.
Wang Ze was so anxious that he stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate to reward meritorious deeds before the test ride has even started!"
The eldest princess's eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice was a little cold.
"Oh? What's wrong?"
Wang Ze immediately heard a trace of displeasure from the eldest princess's words, and immediately regretted his abruptness.
The eldest princess is not more powerful than ordinary princes, not only is she more powerful, but the most important thing is that she is more domineering and arbitrary than ordinary princes.
When Wang Ze thought of this, the regret in his heart had turned into a trace of fear.
Wang Shangshu sighed secretly in his heart, Wang Ze, this kid is in a hurry for quick success, and when he comes out at this time, isn't he looking for death.
But as a person
Sir, Wang Shangshu couldn't see death without help, so he immediately came out and said, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess is angry, Wang Ze is a lowly subordinate, and he is abrupt for a while, and he has lost his etiquette, please punish His Royal Highness."
The eldest princess waved her hand, she had long been accustomed to the intrigue of these officials below, and it was normal for this Wang Ze to be jealous at this time.
With Wang Shangshu's siege, the eldest princess no longer pursued Wang Ze's rudeness, and said, "Since you have such thoughts, everyone must have more or less such thoughts."
"The reward will be given after the test ride."
After receiving the order of the eldest princess, the guards below began to get busy, and the guards stood in two rows on both sides of the test ride route, and a full-time coachman in the courtyard also walked outside the dragon chariot to prepare to drive.
However, at this moment, the voice of the eldest princess in the dragon chariot came.
"Wait, can Lord Liu drive?"
Everyone didn't understand what the eldest princess meant for a while.
Liu Xinyan also didn't understand, but still replied honestly: "Back to Your Highness, my family was poor before I entered the court as an official, and I worked as a coachman when I was young, so I dare not say that I am proficient, but I am not a novice."
When the eldest princess heard this, she said with satisfaction, "Okay, then there will be Lord Lao Liu today."
Liu Xinyan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the eldest princess meant.
But the other officials have already tasted it, and the eldest princess is giving Liu Xinyan a chance to perform.
If it goes well today, there will be an upstart in the princess party in the court tomorrow, and this person is Liu Xinyan!
The officials' eyes were full of envy, and only Liu Xinyan was still frowning and stunned in place.
However, Li Dong, who was beside Liu Xinyan, reacted, with indescribable excitement in his eyes, hurriedly pushed Liu Xinyan, and said in a low voice, "Why are you still stunned, go up and drive!"
Liu Xinyan looked back at Li Dong in surprise, Li Dong's eyes urged, and he said, "This is an opportunity, you seized it!"
Liu Xinyan understood at this time, but his brows furrowed even tighter.
It's just a matter of letting him "fix the car", and now let him be a "driver"!
In Liu Xinyan's view, even if this is not a great shame, it can be regarded as a loss of face in front of a group of civil officials.
However, Liu Xinyan was the only one present who thought so.
Liu Xinyan, under Li Dong's repeated urging, finally compromised.
With the previous experience of "repairing cars", Liu Xinyan was not as pretentious and stubborn as before this time, and walked up to the dragon chariot with an expressionless face and stood in the driver's position.
"Please sit tight, Your Highness, and set off on your humble duty."
"Hmm."
"Drive!"
As Liu Xinyan waved the bridle in his hand, the four horses neighed, and pulled the dragon chariot with all their might.
Due to the heavy weight of the gold-lacquered heavy armor dragon chariot, and Liu Xinyan has not held the bridle for many years, the dragon chariot did not walk smoothly at first, and sometimes he was stunned.
If this is in normal times, it is indispensable to be verbally scolded by the eldest princess, but today is a test ride, and after the school transformation, Long Ran's ability to resist bumps.
In this way, Liu Xinyan was self-defeating and once again behaved in front of the eldest princess.
The eldest princess sitting in the flying carpet did not feel uncomfortable, but the small bump made her feel like she was sitting in a slowly rocking swing, which aroused a hint of her playfulness.
"Interesting, interesting!"
The eldest princess's slightly smiling voice came from within the dragon chariot.
The officials rode behind Long Yuan, and at this time, they also felt that today's test ride should be able to pass smoothly.
Everyone was immersed in the excitement of imminent success, but they didn't notice that Wang Ze, who was at the back of the team, quietly accelerated his speed and slowly came to the front of the team from the left side.
For today's test ride, Liu Xinyan personally walked the route in the courtyard, and Sun Shangshu also specially ordered someone to smooth the road again.
Although it is not as flat as the bluestone ground in the palace, there are no big pits and big stones on the route of the test ride at this time.
This is the best effect, which can not only try the effect of the transformation of the dragon chariot, but also will not cause big bumps to damage the eldest princess.
Liu Xinyan also gradually found the feeling of holding the bridle back then, and the reins in his hand slowly became a bridge of communication with the horses.
However, at this moment, an accident suddenly happened.
The originally smooth road surface, for some reason, after the horses walked by, a pit suddenly appeared, and at this time, the pit had reached the bottom of the dragon, and Liu Xinyan couldn't find it at all.
The wheels of the dragon chariot ran over the pit, and the dragon chariot suddenly lost its balance.
Everything was so coincidental that a pit suddenly appeared on the smooth pavement, and the location of the pit was exactly on the route of the wheels.
And the size of the pit is also very elegant, if it is too big, it will inevitably be discovered by Liu Xinyan in advance, too small can not cause too much bump in the dragon. The size seems to have been carefully considered in advance, and it just happens to cause the dragon chariot to roll sideways.
Because the gold-lacquered dragon chariot was so heavy, even if it only had a slight roll, it was a sudden force for the four horses.
The four horse-drawn gold-lacquered heavy armored dragons were already a bit far-fetched, and this accident immediately caused the four horses to let out a panicked neigh.
Liu Xinyan was startled, and hurriedly tightened the bridle in his hand, trying to control the somewhat panicked horse. However, this move was equivalent to adding fuel to the fire at this time, and immediately intensified the panic of the horse.
The horse, which was pulled to the right by the dragon chariot, was under the control of Liu Xinyan, and pulled the dragon chariot to the left.
And due to Liu Xinyan's improper operation, there was confusion between the four horses, and the dragon chariot produced a huge bump between the roll and pull, and the dragon chariot, which was originally tilted to the right, changed direction, and there was a greater roll to the left.
The eldest princess who was in the dragon chariot was originally sitting comfortably in the flying carpet, and the dragon chariot suddenly had a bump.
At first, the slight bump caused by the frame can be resolved by the flying carpet, but then the huge roll, the flying carpet not only cannot be resolved, but because it is beyond its capacity, it is about to bounce the eldest princess out.
Seeing that the originally smooth trial was about to have a huge accident in which the car was destroyed and people died, a figure suddenly appeared among the officials in the rear, struggling to resist when the dragon was about to fall.
This person is Wang Ze who caught up from the left side of the team, although Wang Ze is a civil official, he is not powerless, he is actually a martial artist who has tempered his body.
However, even so, the thousand-pound gold-lacquered heavy armor dragon chariot was still galloping, and it was definitely not something that a Walker Realm martial artist could carry.
I saw that Wang Ze's face was red, and his eyes were full of bloodshot from excessive exertion.
"Ah......" Wang Ze roared and held on to Long Yuan, seeing that he couldn't hold it anymore, and ended up being smashed into a meat patty.
But with Wang Ze's time to fight, the guards waiting on both sides of the road also came back to their senses and immediately stepped forward to support.
After a concerted effort, Long Yuan finally stabilized.
