Chapter 30: Horse Racing
With Qingge's understanding of Fenghua, when she saw Fenghua's dress, she knew that she had come to cross the line today.
Sure enough, after the emperor announced the start of horse racing, the men of each family got up to register their numbers, and Fenghua stood up in a hurry.
This stop is like throwing a boulder on the calm surface of a lake.
"Are the seven siblings going to participate in the competition?" Ye Yan'an, who was not far from Gu Fenghua, wondered.
"yes." Fenghua deliberately raised his voice and replied, "I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, and I have long wanted to stretch my body." ”
Everyone was shocked at first, but after listening to Fenghua's words, they felt that it was very reasonable.
The Gu family is a general, and the daughter of the Gu family is also good at this, she has been in the capital for a few months, and it is normal to want to ride a horse, but she doesn't understand the rules.
A young man scoffed, "But how can a woman compete? ”
Fenghua smiled, "May I ask if there are rules that say that women are not allowed to compete?" ”
The man looked at the palace man, who looked at the rules in his hand and shook his head, "There is no rule that says that women are not allowed to join. ”
The Emperor sat on the top of the throne, noticed the commotion in the audience, and asked, "What is the noise?" ”
The father-in-law replied, "Back to Your Majesty, the Seventh Princess wants to compete, and everyone is asking if there is a rule that women are not allowed to compete." ”
The concubine on the side was shocked, and her good mood disappeared in an instant, it was her again!
"Is there a rule for this?" The Emperor asked again.
"Not really."
The Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Then continue." ”
The concubine looked at the emperor and wanted to figure out his mood at the moment, but she couldn't see the reason, and said secretly in her heart: Your Majesty's mind is really getting harder and harder to guess.
The father-in-law walked down and said to the palace people: "Your Majesty said, go according to the rules." ”
The crowd was in an uproar.
"What kind of system is this?"
"But there is no woman competing with the Seventh Princess in this time."
"It's better for the Seventh Princess not to play."
It's ridiculous.
Gu Fenghua looked at the men who were shouting non-stop, and said provocatively: "I didn't say that I wanted to compete with women, you just let the horses come." ”
"The Seventh Princess really didn't let her eyebrows." A delicate female voice came, as if she was helping Fenghua speak.
Fenghua glanced at it, it was actually Chen Lingxiu.
Oh, what kind eyes can this girl have?
Sure enough, Chen Lingxiu's words changed, "The Gu family has always been a woman, and you are not necessarily the opponent of the Seventh Princess." ”
Everyone's emotions were picked up by Chen Lingxiu.
"Don't be ashamed!"
"The Seventh Princess has a lot of tone, don't say that we are bullying the Seventh Princess later."
Thank you so much, I mentioned the Gu family.
Fenghua's trip is to remind everyone that there are still women in the Gu family!
Chen Lingxiu saw that her goal had been achieved, and she sat down to watch the play, but she didn't know why, looking at Gu Fenghua's indifferent appearance, she actually felt a little familiar.
took the brand, Fenghua returned to his position and waited idly for the palace people to prepare the horses.
At this time, Jiang He pushed Ye Yanqi to Fenghua's side.
Originally, Ye Yanqi was a transparent existence to Qiuwei, he couldn't get out of the game, most of the time he rested in the palace or tent, and occasionally let people push it out to watch the game.
They came and went silently, and no one noticed.
But this time, everyone looked at him, sympathetic, curious, and gloating......
Ye Yanqi seemed to be a little dazed, and the fifth prince sitting next to them explained with a smile: "Old Seven, your princess is going to a horse race, other people's families are all men, and your family is a lady, it's really interesting." ”
I saw Ye Yanqi look surprised at first, and then shook his head helplessly, "Where can I control her." ”
Is this how this man survived by pretending to be stupid?
Fenghua couldn't help but be a little amused when he looked at him pretending.
And Chen Lingxiu, who was on the other side, looked at Gu Fenghua's disdainful smile, and another face flashed in his mind.
"Ladies are good-looking, richly dressed, and have to keep up with their conduct!"
It's him!
Chen Lingxiu stood up, his eyes were full of anger, and the man who sarcastically mocked himself in Ruyi Building was actually her!
Chen Wensheng saw that his sister was abnormal, so he asked what was wrong.
Chen Lingxiu sat down angrily and whispered to Chen Wensheng, and the eyes of the two glanced at Gu Fenghua from time to time.
After two quarters of an hour, the palace people announced that the horses were ready, and asked everyone to lead their horses according to the number.
Fenghua quickly found his mount, a tall brown horse.
I saw that she first stroked the mane on the horse's back rhythmically, then gently stroked the horse's ear, and whispered a few words to the horse's ear, and then the horse bowed its head tamely and became intimate with her.
She smiled with satisfaction and flipped neatly onto her horse, her shoulders and hips straight perpendicular to the ground, in a standard and dashing posture.
Looking around, few men in the capital can compare to Fenghua's calm posture.
Originally, everyone was just riding horses for fun, but they were despised by Gu Fenghua just now, and they were stimulated by Chen Lingxiu, and everyone was also on fire in their hearts, thinking that they had to give Gu Fenghua a good look.
At the sound of an order, a hundred horses rushed together.
Fenghua reacted quickly and skillfully on horseback, and after a while, he ran ahead.
In the midst of the gallop, the wind that was originally blowing slowly became fierce, but this did not blow away the joy in Fenghua's heart.
Before leaving, she told Ye Yanqi that she wanted to seize the opportunity to ride a horse, this is really not a fool, she has long wanted to ride freely.
However, the most important thing is that she wants to show the people behind the scenes that she is capable of.
Think that if you get rid of your brother, you can get the Zhenxi Army?
Don't ask the Gu family's daughter if she agrees!
In less than half a tea time, the sound of horses' hooves behind him gradually weakened, most of the people had been thrown far away, and the vanguard had also run out of everyone's sight.
Upon listening, Fenghua judged that there were four other horses following closely behind.
Halfway through the race, the people behind him made their efforts together, and Fenghua was not to be outdone and made the horses rush up.
In an instant, the two horses marched head to head.
Looking sideways, as expected, it was Ye Yan'an, the leader of the previous time.
Sure enough, he is the most favored prince, and he rides the famous Dawan horse, although it looks no different from an ordinary horse, but Fenghua will not admit mistakes.
But what about Dawan Horse? How can a captive horse outrun a wild horse!
After thinking about it, Fenghua drank it, and the horse under him accelerated like flying, throwing off Ye Yan'an.
At this moment, the jewel on Fenghua's waist flashed, and the horse suddenly neighed, raised its front legs, and kicked indiscriminately, threatening to throw the person off from it.
Someone is making it bad!
Fenghua immediately leaned over to protect the horse's neck, her legs relaxed, and her fingers rhythmically patted the horse's neck.
It is necessary to calm itself for the horse to be calm.
Sure enough, after the horse kicked and ran around, he felt Fenghua's composure and gradually calmed down.
At this time, Ye Yan'an surpassed Fenghua, but slowed down in front.
He took a real look behind him, and someone used a bronze mirror or something to reflect the sun's rays and shine into the horse's eyes, causing the horse to be frightened.
Seeing that Gu Fenghua was about to be thrown out by the horse, he was shocked, and secretly said that it was a pity that this fall would not die and be disabled.
But just at this thought, he saw Gu Fenghua's smooth measures, calmly comforted the horse, resolved the crisis, and suddenly admired it in his heart.
Because he knew that in that situation, he couldn't have done better.
