"Slave maid Baijun Garden horse tamer, Ye Lanyi, please concubine Niangniang." Ye Lanyi turned over and dismounted, and saluted An Lingrong stiffly, "The princess is afraid that she has come to the wrong place, the tamed horses are all next door, and here are all wild horses that have just come up from the foreign regions and have not been domesticated, which shocks the princess." ”

An Kang hid behind An Lingrong with some fear and nodded, knowing that he had caused a big disaster, he pursed his lips and said timidly: "E-niang, don't blame Min Niangniang and Yu Niangniang, it was Ankang himself who wanted to ride this horse." ”

An Lingrong slowly came back to his strength, touched An Kang's face, and comforted her softly, but when he looked up, he saw Concubine Min falling to the side and breaking her palms and arms, her sideburns were messy, and her fawn-like eyes were the same timidity as An Kang, and suddenly, no matter how big the anger was, it was gone.

She sighed and said, "I just fell off my horse, but fortunately you hugged Ankang, so I didn't get hurt." Go back quickly, let Imperial Doctor Zhou come over and take a look, don't leave a scar. An Lingrong raised his eyes and motioned to the jade nobles to help Concubine Min return to Xinghua Village.

Concubine Min endured the pain and leaned over to salute: "Thank you for your compassion, the concubine will retire." ”

An Ling Rongfu looked at Ye Lanyi again, and his thoughts were in a trance for a moment.

An Lingrong actually didn't have a very deep impression of Ye Lanyi, only that she suddenly appeared in the palace one day, and she wouldn't laugh when she saw anyone, but the emperor liked her stinky face and was very spoiled, and later she was sealed all the way to Concubine Ning, and she was very favored.

I don't know if she will enter the palace in this life.

"I'm glad you came to the rescue today, and this palace is here to thank Miss Ye." An Lingrong slowly smiled and bowed his head slightly to Ye Lanyi.

Ye Lanyi hurriedly avoided it, and Lang Lang smiled: "Niangniang doesn't need to be polite, the slave just happened to see it." She couldn't help but peek at her well-being, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Niangniang, the horse that Princess Fangcai rode is a bloody horse that has just paid tribute in the Western Regions, and it is the best horse in Baijun Garden today, and the princess has a really good eye." ”

Looking at Ye Lanyi, who was smiling brightly, An Lingrong's heart was slightly touched, it turned out that before she entered the palace, she would also smile like this without hindrance.

"Ankang is amazing." An Lingrong touched the horn bun on An Kang's head, praised her, and then pinched her nose, pretending to be angry and said, "If you made a mistake today, Eniang punished you to go back and write ten big characters, do you admit the punishment?" ”

"Admitting punishment and accepting punishment is Ankang doing something wrong." An Kang stood on tiptoe to relieve his nose, rubbed the tip of his nose, pulled An Lingrong's thigh with a flattering face, and said, "Eniang, Ankang wants to see this sister train the horse first, is it okay?" ”

"Does Ankang like this horse so much?" The emperor's voice suddenly sounded behind everyone.

An Lingrong turned around, only to see the emperor walking down from the sedan chair, and hurriedly leaned over to salute and greet him: "Hello to the emperor, the emperor is blessed with peace." The people around him knelt on the ground with a cheer.

"Get up." The emperor habitually stretched out his hand to help An Lingrong up, and raised his hand to let everyone get up, "As soon as I heard that An Kang had fallen from his horse, I hurried over, but was there any injury?" He stooped down to pick up Ankang and tossed in the crook of his arm.

"It was all covered in ashes, but it wasn't hurt." An Lingrong patted the corner of Ankang's clothes with a handkerchief, and said, "It's that Concubine Min was not lightly injured, when Ankang fell down, she rushed up and hugged her, her arms and palms were rubbed against the skin, and the concubine had already asked her to go back to Xuantaiyi." She's young, so don't leave any scars. ”

The emperor nodded in a deep voice: "Then I'll go and see her later." ”

"Huang Ama Huang Amma, Ankang wants to see this sister ride a big horse." Ankang was making a fuss again to see Ye Lanyi taming the horse, hugging the emperor's neck and saying coquettishly.

An Lingrong chuckled lightly and looked at Ye Lanyi: "Miss Ye, I don't know if I can disturb?" ”

"It's okay, the mother and the emperor just sit and watch under the porch at that end, don't go into the racecourse, it's not good if you get hurt." Ye Lanyi smiled heartily and pointed to the corridor not far away.

An Lingrong walked to the porch with the emperor, and in the horse farm, Ye Lanyi had already turned over on the horse, pulled up the reins, and caused the horse to neigh again, and then ran up in the field, An Kang picked up the pillar and watched it with relish, which caused the emperor to laugh for a while.

"We are full of people in the world on horseback, although the health is small, but there is also full of blood." The emperor looked at An Kang, his eyes were full of admiration and love, "When she grows up, I will personally teach her to ride a horse and shoot arrows." ”

"I heard that the emperor's cavalry shooting was taught by Baturu, the first in Manchuria back then, and the strict teacher produced a high apprentice, the emperor should not teach Ankang like Baturu taught you back then, the concubine doesn't want to see Ankang crying and coming back every day." An Lingrong joked with a smile.

"Not really!" Ankang turned around and retorted loudly, and said seriously with a raised face, "Ankang will definitely learn it soon, and don't give Huang Ama a chance to reprimand Ankang." ”

"Okay." The emperor responded and laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

"Phew—"

Ye Lanyi was almost turned off the horse, she hung upside down on the side of the horse, with force under her feet, I don't know where to use the skill, as soon as she turned around, everyone returned to the horse, she leaned closer, and dropped the headband in the rapid running, the exotic veil fluttered and fell into the dust, the long hair fell down, raising a moving arc in the wind, with her serious and focused eyebrows, even An Lingrong was attracted.

Seeing the emperor looking at Ye Lanyi without blinking, An Lingrong's heart suddenly sank, interrupted the emperor's thoughts, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, have you thought about what you want to reward for tomorrow's dragon boat race?" The concubines have already come out, and the other rewards can only be brought forward by the emperor, but the concubines don't have so many good things. ”

"Look at your stinginess." The emperor couldn't help laughing, "That being the case, the queen, Concubine Qi, Concubine Hui, Concubine Duan, and Concubine Jing each took a good thing out to reward people." Tomorrow, there will be a total of 12 teams, and after the first round, the top six will be rewarded, and they will compete for the championship and the jackpot. As for the dragon boat riders, they will be rewarded with some gold and silver treasures. ”

An Lingrong pinched his hands and counted a circle, and sighed sadly: "Twelve teams, except for the concubines and the queen's mother, each of them just occupies a team, but it's a pity, the concubines still want to make a coincidence and win the jackpot back." ”

Four concubines, three concubines, three nobles, one is always there, one promises, exactly twelve people.

The emperor looked at her painful and regretful look, couldn't help laughing, and said a few more funny words, seeing that it was not early, he got up to leave, and before leaving, he looked back at Ye Lanyi inadvertently, and saw that the horse was about to be tamed, and couldn't help but tug the corners of his mouth.

Looking at the back of the emperor leaving, An Lingrong stood in place for a long time with heavy eyes, and then turned back to look at Ye Lanyi in the racecourse, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

The more she gets to this time, the more powerless she feels, the big hand of fate has always been there, no matter how hard she tries, things always quietly return to the original track - this point, An Lingrong has confirmed many times in Zhen Huan.

Ye Lanyi, after all, is still going to enter the palace.

The dragon boat race was done lively, there has never been such an event in the palace, for a time, the back lake was surrounded to the full, the slaves who were not on duty today in the Old Summer Palace rushed to join in the fun, the emperor and the concubines sat in the Kaiyuan Pavilion behind the Kyushu Qing banquet, and the scenery of the back lake was unobstructed.

In the center of the pavilion, there is a nine-turn flying phoenix gold silk dot cui makeup box steadily, just put it there and look at it, it makes people can't take their eyes off, next to it is a stack of twelve volumes of "Dream of Red Mansions" solitary book, is the private collection of Concubine Duan, Shen Meizhuang took out a pair of jade tiger ears 10,000 cups, exquisitely clear, just a glance to know that it is worth a lot.

These three things immediately raised the level of this reward, which is not only face, but also a benchmark for whether people can surrender in the palace in the future.

Concubine Jing doesn't care, she is already low-key, so she only took the black lacquer painted group of immortals who were rewarded by the emperor in the early years to celebrate her birthday, although she was not defeated by An Lingrong, Duanfei and Shen Meizhuang, but it was also decent. Concubine Qi was afraid of embarrassment, so she emptied her private treasury and found a half-foot-high Qingyu Guanyin, so she finally calmed the scene.

On the contrary, the queen was embarrassed, it was not that she did not have good things, but she had always pursued frugality, so at this time she followed the trend and took out a treasure, and if she was turned out by someone with a heart later, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? She thought about it again and again, only took out a small enamel dot emerald rouge box and came out, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is the honey incense newly paid tribute by the Ministry of Internal Affairs this year, the fragrance is far away, and it will not be dispersed for a long time, and the concubines have never liked to use incense, and there are no good things to fill the scene, so they have to borrow flowers to offer Buddha." ”

The emperor nodded and didn't say anything more.

The queen smiled, got up and saluted: "It's just that the sisters are all treasures worth a thousand gold, and the concubines are really a little out of their hands, and they want to ask the emperor for a favor." Seeing the emperor coming over, she pursed the corners of her mouth and said with a smile, "Among the top six, if someone wins the second place, the emperor will give her a promotion at his discretion, how about it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was enthusiastic, especially the Xin Guiren, Jin Guiren, Yu Guiren, Kang Changzai and Sun Cheng, who were below the concubine level, and they all showed a little sincerity on their faces.

Fang Chunyi, Concubine Qi and Concubine Zhen did not show it on their faces, now that the four concubines are full, they have no place even if they want to be promoted, and Concubine Duan Jing and Shen Meizhuang know that the queen is taking the opportunity to promote someone, but they are silent, but Concubine Qi is ready to move, echoing the queen one after another.

An Lingrong smiled in his eyes, turned around the queen and the Jin nobles, and pulled the corners of his mouth disapprerovingly: "The queen's hand, it seems that the concubine's things are a little unacceptable, and if you don't dare to occupy the jackpot, you should still be second." She looked at the emperor with a smile, "When the concubine mentioned the dragon boat race and gambled that day, the queen mother was angry, and it was the queen who was the most interested, the emperor, why not do it?" ”

When the queen heard An Lingrong ask herself to be second, she was proud for a moment, and secretly said that she was still a smart person, but she didn't expect that as soon as she turned her head, she would complain to the emperor under her nose, her face suddenly stiffened, and she said with a smile: "Since it has already been done, the concubines don't want to ruin everyone's interest, so they dare to propose to the emperor, if the emperor doesn't allow it, then it's okay." ”

The emperor thought that this gambling had already refuted the queen's face, and it seemed that it was not good to refute her face, so he nodded and agreed: "Then according to what the queen and the concubine said, guess the leader, I will be promoted to the title as appropriate, and the next prize will be the reward of the concubine, the concubine, the concubine Qi, the concubine Hui, and the concubine." Pick a team. ”

The emperor was relieved, and everyone was very happy, and happily picked up the team.

"Sister doesn't want to choose a good choice?" An Lingrong looked at Shen Meizhuang, who was sitting in the position of An Ran, and asked with a smile, "Duanfei Niangniang and Concubine Jing Niangniang have both gone over to pick, is my sister really willing to give up her own Wanzi cup?" ”

"It's just something outside the body, what's not to be willing to give." Shen Meizhuang said lightly, and then asked, "Do you know who the queen wants to promote?" ”

"Obvious things, why should my sister ask more." An Lingrong lowered his voice and chuckled, and the corners of his eyes skimmed to the noble Jin who was standing crampedly behind the crowd, "Her identity is embarrassing, I'm afraid it's difficult to be a normal Jinfeng, it's difficult for the queen to think of such a way to win her over, if she is praised as the head of the first palace, I'm afraid she will follow the queen with all her heart." ”

Shen Meizhuang lowered his eyes and sighed lightly: "You are too sharp now, I am afraid that the queen is very jealous in her heart, and I am worried that she will do everything possible to win over the noble Jin, and then it is to deal with you." ”

An Lingrong patted Shen Meizhuang's hand, smiling firmly and confidently: "It's okay, we're not afraid of her." ”

The drums beat and rumbled, and the first round of the competition soon began.

Inspiration is dry, so painful......
