Su He is a person who understands horses, and he keeps boasting as soon as he opens his mouth, and Nuo Min has become a full-time translator for the two.

Hearing Su He say it happily, and even with light in his eyes, Zhu Jinghong said: "Since Your Excellency likes it so much, why don't you take the horse out and ride it!" ”

"This horse is loved by His Highness, how can he ...... it below"

"You're welcome, someone...... Lead the horse out and head to the martial arts arena! ”

There is a martial arts arena on the southeast side of the palace, which is mainly used for the guards to practice martial arts or point mao, and the place is spacious for horseback riding.

"Father, since His Royal Highness loves you, don't shirk it!" Nomin gave the assist.

Nuo Min also hopes that her father will leave so that she can talk to Zhu Jinghong alone.

Although Su He was almost fifty people, he was itchy when he saw a good horse, and he couldn't help but go to the martial arts arena after being persuaded.

When Su and Fei Li wanted to get on the horse, Zhu Jinghong had already chatted with Nuo Min in the distance.

"How old is the girl?"

"Sixteen ......"

"It's a coincidence that I'm sixteen, I should get married in Daming at this age, I don't know if the girl has a good match?"

"My father wanted to marry me to Wolf Taiji, but I refused!"

"Why?" Zhu Jinghong asked curiously.

"The third son of the Lord of the Wolf Taiji Alliance, I think it's too cruel and rude, I don't like him very much!"

"What kind of man does that girl like?" Zhu Jinghong asked with a smile.

Nuo Min replied frankly: "Of course, it is a man who is both civil and military!" ”

Such a straightforward question and answer would not have been possible on a Ming woman at all.

Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "Haha...... That's right, a woman like a girl who can be both civil and martial arts really needs to be both civil and military to be worthy! ”

"It is said that His Royal Highness King Xiang is brave and invincible, and the little woman is presumptuous...... Dare to ask Your Highness, whether this rumor is true or false! ”

Looking at Su He, who still couldn't get on the horse in the distance, Zhu Jinghong said calmly: "I don't know what it means to be brave and invincible, but I can let you see our martial arts!" ”

"Fetch my bow!" Zhu Jinghong commanded left and right.

"Yes!"

His bow was specially made, and when he was brought it, Nomin saw at a glance that it was extraordinary, and knew that few people could use such a hard bow.

"Do you see the flagpole in front of you?"

Nomin looked forward, estimating that the flagpole was a hundred paces away, and nodded.

I saw Zhu Jinghong stretch out his bow and set up an arrow, and let go of the bowstring almost without much aiming, and finally the whistling arrow pierced the flagpole steadily.

Zhu Jinghong's ability to penetrate Yang in 100 steps is already at the first-class level in terms of archery, and the entire Namu League can't find a few.

Just when Nuo Min was sure, he saw Zhu Jinghong take the second arrow, and after pulling the bowstring, he took a little more breath this time.

Then the arrow sped out again, and then there was a scene that stunned Nomin, and this second arrow actually shot off the front one from behind.

Such a level of archery skills can be called divine skills, so that Nuo Min no longer has any doubts about Zhu Jinghong.

In the polo match, the rising sun can be abolished, and it is obvious that this prince's riding skills are also superb.

Looking at his father, who had not yet mounted the horse, Nomin had such a judgment in his heart.

"Your Highness is really brave and unparalleled, the little woman admires it!" Nuo Min said this very sincerely, and at this moment, her gaze at Zhu Jinghong changed.

Ming men are all influenced by books, and His Royal Highness King Xiang is the emperor's concubine, and he is even more well-read and talented.

Isn't this person worthy of being both civil and military?

Looking at Zhu Jinghong's handsome appearance again, Nuo Min was even more satisfied in her heart, and she thought a lot for a while.

At this moment, in Nuo Min's heart, Zhu Jinghong collected all her fantasies about the other half, and she was stunned for a while.

Why is this girl stupid? Zhu Jinghong was puzzled.

At this moment, Su He was thrown to the ground by the horse, and made a movement to attract Zhu Jinghong and Nuo Min.

Nomin also woke up from his fantasy and immediately rushed forward when he saw his father fall.

"Father, are you alright?"

"It's okay, it's okay...... Hey, it's old after all! ”

Saying that he was old was just Su He hiding his embarrassment, and he thought to himself that even when he was young, he probably wouldn't be able to hold this horse.

At this time, Zhu Jinghong also stepped forward, and after he pulled the reins, the horse immediately quieted down.

Turning over and getting on the horse, Zhu Jinghong walked back and forth a few steps before he said: "This horse recognizes the master, and the alliance leader is only afraid that he will not be blessed to ride!" ”

Su He said very sincerely: "I have heard for a long time that His Highness is invincible in the world, and it is also a blessing for him to have such a good horse worthy of His Highness!" ”

Then the two of them chatted for a while, during which Nuo Min also interjected, and she found that she liked to talk to the king of Xiang.

About half an hour later, when Zhu Jinghong wanted to stay in Suhe for lunch, an edict came from the palace from the emperor, summoning him into the palace to observe the expansion of the navy.

This made Zhu Jinghong have to sigh, the old man can really do anything to make money, and he has only started to lay out the sailor in the past few days.

Although it was an audit, it was also an opportunity for Zhu Jinghong, after all, this is how prestige was built.

Although he wanted to continue flirting with his sister, Zhu Jinghong also knew that the overall situation was important, so he could only let Su and his father and daughter go back first.

Zhu Jinghongma slipped into the palace, while Su He's father and daughter slowly returned to the official residence, and their time was quite sufficient.

Even the two of them deliberately took a detour to Nancheng, in order to feel the prosperous scene of people and shops.

"Daming is worthy of being the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and there is only one in the world in such a scene......"

Su He said several words in a row, but Nuo Min did not answer, which made the old father very different.

"Nomin, what's wrong?"

Nuo Min did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "Father, what do you think of His Royal Highness King Xiang?" ”

"This person has excellent martial arts, unparalleled riding and archery, and is a rare strange man in the world!" Su and heartfelt admiration.

"My daughter likes him a little!" Nuo Min said very bluntly, the women of the alliance are so love-hate and hate-distinct.

Su He was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his daughter to have such a thought, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was normal.

Zhu Jinghong's identity, status, appearance, martial arts and talents, no matter from which point of view, are all first-class and good, at least there is no one comparable to the Mubu League.

Although Nuo Min's vision is high, it is extremely normal to fall in love when he encounters a character like Zhu Jinghong.

"At your age, it's easy to be cranky, and it will fade in a few days!" Su He is so enlightened.

"Perhaps......" Nomin himself wasn't sure.

When Nuo Min was preoccupied here, Zhu Jinghong on the other side had already arrived at the Qianqing Palace, and the discussion had already begun at this time.

The people present today are the governors of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, as well as several high-ranking officials of the Ministry of War, who are reporting to the emperor on the current situation of the Naval Division.

Zhu Jinghong started the discussion before he arrived, which showed that he himself was actually dispensable, so after he arrived, he just listened.

Today's Daming Naval Division, the warships are old and there are not many of them, and they have not fought any major battles for many years.

On weekdays, it also plays a defensive role, and even the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese invaders seem to be inadequate.

So when Zhu Xianming heard this, he was not in a good mood, so he ordered the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to order the sailors from all over the country to strengthen training.

But such a will, in fact, is useless, after all, it is in vain if the warship cannot be practiced again.

Of course, Zhu Xianming knew this truth, and the reason why he made such a decree was to express his attention to the sailor and make the people below pay attention to it.

"It seems that the old man is really tempted!" Zhu Jinghong judged so in his heart.

…………

In a study room somewhere in the house of Rongguo Mansion, Yingchun and Xichun were playing chess, and Tanchun was watching quietly.

Since Daiyu left, the three of them have lost a good playmate, and their lives have been much more boring.

"Today is April 13th?" Tanchun asked suddenly.

"Fourteen today, what's wrong?" Yingchun looked puzzled.

"That's tomorrow!"

"What's going on tomorrow?" Xichun looked up with a puzzled face.

Tanchun looked at the blue sky outside the window and said, "Tomorrow is the final choice of the princess......

"You say...... Sister Bao can choose the side concubine! ”

Obviously, in Tanchun's view, it is a blessing to be able to choose a side concubine under conditions like Baochai's father's early death.

No one answered Tanchun's question, but Xichun looked left and right, and then said in a low voice: "I heard that Sister Bao asked for a second wife for the election, but she was ridiculed by the wife......

Although Mrs. Wang had the intention to conceal what happened that day, how could she contain the fire in the paper.

So this matter is not only known by Xichun, but also known by Tanchun early on.

Tanchun didn't know what to say about his mother-in-law's actions, but he just felt extremely ridiculous.

Because even from the perspective of self-interest, even if Baochai chooses the side concubine of King Xiang, it is a great benefit to Yuanchun.

How could it be like this, Baochai inherited the grace of Princess Rui to run for election, and it has nothing to do with Yuanchun at all.

In order to prevent Baochai from admitting it in the future, Princess Rui Chen Zhi will praise Baochai whenever she meets people, and she also talked about her support for her candidacy.

"Don't worry about it, you can't choose it...... It's all meant to be! Yingchun couldn't help but speak.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the house: "What is fate, I don't think she can choose!" ”

can talk like this, there is no doubt that Jia Baoyu is it.

He and Baochai were not on good terms, and Daiyu, who cared about the most, also left because of Baochai, and Jia Baoyu hated Baochai to the core.

Many times he couldn't help but wonder if he hadn't taken Daiyu to see Baochai at the beginning, would there not be this ending.

"Second brother, why are you here? Didn't go to school today? Tanchun asked, changing the subject at the same time.

"Today, the master of the school is sick, and everyone has a holiday, so I stopped by to see you!"

After Yuan Chun was named the crown princess, there were more people visiting the Jia family, and Jia Lian also received errands, so the constraints on Baoyu were much weaker.

Just as he was about to sit down and watch chess, a girl suddenly came outside to spread the word, and it turned out that Jia Zheng asked him to come over to meet the guests.

"Which guest? Isn't it okay for my father to accompany me! Baoyu was impatient.

The girl could only reply: "Second Master Bao, it's not at our house, it's going to Beijing Wangfu to meet you!" ”

The Beijing Mansion and the Jia family are world friends, but they are estranged because of the events of ten years ago, and now that Yuan Chun has sealed the crown princess, the Beijing Palace's relationship with them has become close.

Baoyu has always hated visitors, but he is not reluctant to go to the Beijing Palace, just because he can talk to Shui Rong very well.

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

…………

Besides, at this moment, after completing the etiquette training, the women rested for a few days, and finally waited for the most critical moment tomorrow.

More than 20 days is not a short time, and although these girls are competitors to each other, some of them have established friendships with each other.

For example, Baochai and a woman live next door, and the two have become friends who "talk about everything".

"Sister Bao, why haven't I ever heard you talk about running for election, so you're not afraid that you won't be elected?"

The woman who spoke was named Cui Xiuqing, and her father was an ordinary student (Xiucai), who was only one step away from changing his life against the sky, and his family life could only be said to be passable.

Baochai didn't answer this question directly, but she put down the book and asked, "Don't you have never talked about it!" ”

"I'm definitely not going to be elected, so why bother talking about him!"

Baochai was very curious when she heard this, so she smiled and asked, "Why did my sister say this?" ”

Aside from family matters, the women who are now staying in Shangyi Bureau are actually not bad in appearance and knowledge, so Cui Xiuqing's remarks really made Baochai curious.

"Sister Bao, didn't she ask knowingly!" Cui Xiuqing did not answer positively.

"If you know, why do you ask me?"

"I'm just worried about Sister Bao, several of us are not small, especially that Miss Yang is the most powerful!" Cui Xiuqing's face was worried.

"Although Sister Bao is very human, she is only afraid of ......"

Hearing this, Baochai knew that the girl in front of her didn't know her origin, otherwise she shouldn't worry about herself.

In addition to Yang Jingting, with the identity of the cousin of the crown princess, plus the full support of Princess Rui, Baochai feels that she is no worse than anyone else.

"So let it be!" Baochai said with a smile.

"Sister Bao may still be able to compete, but I don't think so!" Cui Xiuqing sighed with emotion, but there was no gloom on her face.

Even Baochai saw her hopes for the future, so Baochai asked, "What are my sister's plans next?" ”

"If someone asks, I won't say it...... Sister Kebao is not an outsider after all! ”

It's really hard to tell what's going on with the ethereal thing of personality charm, but obviously Baochai has it.

"Our family is going to move out...... Go live in a different place! ”

"Where?"

"North Korea!"

Hearing the word "North Korea", Baochai almost thought that he had misheard.

It is also thanks to her that she reads a lot and knows that North Korea is a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and it is thousands of miles away from God.

"To North Korea? Why? Baochai was puzzled.

Cui Xiuqing straightened her sideburns and said with a smile: "My family can get land and a house when they go to North Korea, and the family will be able to live a good life!" ”

"But North Korea is remote after all, and there are more opportunities to stay in Daming and go to remote places like North Korea...... Is it really a good deal? ”

"In addition...... Why do you go to North Korea and get land and homes? Baochai was puzzled.

Cui Xiuqing smiled, and then said: "I forgot to tell Sister Bao that my grandfather is a North Korean who fled to Daming 60 years ago to avoid military disasters...... In recent years, I have been in contact with my family, and I know that they have become a local clan in North Korea! ”

As soon as he heard this, Baochai finally figured out the trick, so Cui Xiuqing called recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors.

"I'm just afraid that the language is different, and it will be inconvenient to go," Baochai said with concern......

Cui Xiuqing replied with a smile: "North Korea also uses the Ming script, as for the language...... From the grandfather to the present, my family has not abandoned the local sound! ”

"Since your ancestors are from North Korea, why can you run for the princess this time?" Baochai was a little puzzled.

Normally, people from Fanbang are not allowed to run for election.

"Although my ancestors are from North Korea, I have been registered in the Ming Dynasty since my grandfather's time!"

Nodding, Baochai didn't ask more, but said with a smile: "Maybe you have chosen the princess, and you don't have to go to North Korea!" ”

Cui Xiuqing shook her head and said calmly: "Sister Bao, don't laugh, there are two places on one side, how can I have a chance to choose!" ”

Sighing, Baochai said: "Everything depends on tomorrow!" ”

In order to choose a princess, many people have put a lot of thought into it.

But the result has long been set by the queen, and many people's minds are doing useless work.

For example, in the side hall of Kunning Palace at this time, even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had to ask the queen about the choice of the princess.

"You say yes...... Make your niece a princess? Zhu Xianming was a little surprised.

Looking sideways at the emperor beside him, Yang Qingyin put down the teacup and said with an unhappy face: "What...... Do you have an opinion? ”
