Marquis Yiyuan holds half of the military power, far away from Shangjing, and at present, it seems that he does not stand in line at will, he is only loyal to His Majesty.

Queen Qu wants to win him over, but it may be a bit difficult to maintain it only by her in-laws, and the other party can take her daughter-in-law to the northwest after her son gets married.

Stationed in the northwest of Xiantai, away from the Shangjing dispute.

If the other party has a reliable character, this is also what Qu Ningxi wants, and if he leaves here, he will not be held hostage by the family.

More than a month before the Pantheon's Day, the love poem between the prince and the little palace maid did not make any waves, and was disposed of by His Majesty himself.

On the occasion of the preparations for the festival, the family of Yiyuan Hou returned to Beijing all the way.

In order to show his gratitude, His Majesty sent the chief eunuch beside him, Shengde, out of the city to greet him, and to act on behalf of the emperor and comfort the toiling soldiers.

He also set up a reception banquet outside the palace to entertain the three thousand elite soldiers of the Meng family.

The banquet in the palace, Qu Ningxi also went, she wanted to see Meng Shizi with her own eyes.

This time, following Zhou's side, Queen Qu still summoned her over and said some words of comfort.

"This palace wants to find a good in-law for Wan Yu, and when your family affairs are decided, you will definitely add more makeup."

Qu Ningxi lowered his eyelashes: "It has to be fulfilled by the second prince." ”

Queen Qu held her forehead with one hand and sighed: "Good boy, this palace will not be left to him." ”

In front of everyone, Qu Ningxi certainly didn't lose his temper with the queen, and he didn't show his life, so he sat down quietly.

Today's protagonists are the Yiyuan Hou family.

Meng Tianshi is a rough general, with a beard, a loud voice, and his face is dark by the wind and frost in the northwest.

His pair of children did not look exactly like him, neutralizing the beauty of some biological mothers.

The prince of the world, known as Meng Yihuai, is tall, except for the same dark skin, and his facial features are quite upright.

The lord of Yaping is his daughter's family, his face is white, and he is wearing a royal blue peacock skirt, which is luxurious and pretty.

As soon as the Montessori father and son appeared, they were subjected to a lot of scrutiny.

Especially those who have school-age children at home, they know Yiyuanhou's plans, look at his children, and evaluate them in their hearts.

There was a whisper on the table: "This world is really tanned, and there is no shortage of people in the field......"

"Both father and son are dark, and it may be a ...... of the northwest wind and sand"

"But look at the lord of Yaping who is raising it very well? In recent years, there has been no war, and you don't go out every day to wind and sun? ”

Everyone gossiped and said that Meng Tianshi and Meng Yihuai, father and son, really ran out from time to time.

The group met with Emperor Tianqing on the high position, and then brought out the specialties they brought back from Xiantai.

Most of them are furs of all colors, and they are all hunted by hand in their leisure time. (Ancient and modern are different, everyone is responsible for protecting animals)

There are also several BMW with noble bloodlines, all the way from the northwest.

Seeing this, Emperor Tianqing was very happy, and gave wine on the spot, and drank heartily with Marquis Yiyuan.

These specialties are not only the thoughts of the courtiers, but also show that the sergeants stationed in the northwest have not abandoned their training, and they are still riding and shooting.

Emperor Tianqing learned that Meng Shizi had a good shot, so he ordered the second prince on the spot and went to the horse farm to see those BMWs together.

Pei Jingli got up and responded, "Yiyuan Hou Hu's father has no dogs, how dare his sons and daughters sacrifice their ugliness alone, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go together." ”

The only thing he beat Pei Yingxiao was riding and shooting, and he still won narrowly.

At this time, I heard that my father had the intention of letting him compete with Meng Shizi, how could he not pull him into the water?

Emperor Tianqing looked at Pei Yingxiao and simply said: "The prince will also go, who can choose a good horse first today depends on your ability." ”

The implication is to reward the good horses brought by Mengtianshi.

Pei Yingxiao smiled lightly and bowed his head, happily going along.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a long and jade body and a beautiful face, and when he walked to Meng Yihuai's side, the two formed an amazing contrast, and the visual impact was not small.

They were of similar stature, almost as tall as they were, and they looked stronger.

But Pei Yingxiao looks thin, but in fact, he has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his demeanor is calm, and his narrow eyes are gentle and smiling, which is really personable.

It was not suppressed by the strong man at all, but he was more calm.

Even Meng Tianshi, a big old man, couldn't help but look sideways frequently, and sighed: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is like a pearl like jade, and my son lives like a butcher." ”

"Hou Ye is too modest," Pei Yingxiao smiled: "Meng Shizi is a good man on horseback, and he is as brave as a man." ”

"How dare you ......"

The two sides complimented each other a few words and went to the racecourse together.

The good horses brought back from Xiantai were carefully bred along the way, and the horses were already better at long journeys than people, so they were all shiny and majestic, and they were not tired at all.

Everyone who saw it praised a good horse.

Emperor Tianqing wanted to see the demeanor of Meng Shizi's horse, so he ordered the three of them to choose a suitable mount and race the horse on the spot.

It's fun to watch this time, just give it a go.

Queen Qu sat beside the emperor and smiled, but she was actually a little nervous.

Her Lin Yu must also be in front of everyone today, so she can win!

If you lose to Meng Shizi, you can't lose to the prince......

When the three of them went down to change their clothes, Ming Wu came to Emperor Tianqing upside down: "Father, this kind of horse racing is not enough to look at, why don't you let Erchen and others bet on it?" ”

Emperor Tianqing just held up the teacup, and when he heard the words, he turned his head and looked: "Bet? ”

Queen Qu hurriedly scolded: "Ming's wife is not allowed to mess around." ”

Emperor Tianqing raised his hand disapprenously, "It's okay, it's just a joke." ”

Soon, the crowd in the stands on the side of the racecourse heard about it:

His Majesty was in a happy mood today, and even agreed to Princess Ming's little trick to bet on the three of them.

Not only that, but the queen also added some other colorful heads.

In this way, everyone responded enthusiastically, first, they were curious about Meng Yihuai's strength, and second, they were secretly anxious for His Royal Highness the Prince.

Qu Ningxi didn't have to look up to know how many supporters Pei Yingxiao had.

Knowing that riding and shooting is his weak point, he is even more nervous and focused.

But in fact...... Is Da Huan, the crown prince, really not good at riding and shooting?

Qu Ningxi had never seen Pei Yingxiao ride a horse with his own eyes, but he only knew that he had kung fu and amazing strength......

"What is my cousin thinking, so obsessed?" Ming Yu pulled Qu Ningxi out.

At this time, the three people who were going to race horses had already changed their clothes, and they were tall and heroic.

Ming Wu learned as early as the queen mother that Meng Shizi might be the object of Qu Ningxi's affection, and it just so happened that the royal brother was also worried about this.

She was a little ill-willed, and asked bluntly: "Who does my cousin think will come out on top?" ”

Suddenly, he was pushed out, and all three of them heard such a close inquiry.

Pei Yingxiao raised his eyes and swiped, his face did not change, as if he didn't know.

And Meng Yihuai saw Qu Ningxi for the first time, his eyes widened slightly, and he couldn't hide his amazement.

Nephrite beauty, lightly sweeping moth eyebrows, seems to have dark fragrance sleeves.

Pei Jingli on the side, his eyes were gloomy, staring at Qu Ningxi, and he smiled: "My cousin is here, of course my cousin wants to bet me on victory." ”

This kind of deliberateness is difficult to condense.

She glanced at Ming Wu and replied with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince are both riding and shooting, and Meng Shizi is a guest from afar, so I bet on him." ”

Meng Yihuai laughed: "In this way, I can't live up to Miss Qu's high expectations." ”

The horse race soon began, and on this sunny summer day, three horses neighed with their heads held high.

And the sons on horseback are full of spirit and have their own merits.

They rushed out like arrows off the string, and it was a battle of speed and skill.

Some of the ministers were worried, worried that their Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be disgraced, although it was a playful game, but so many people watched......

And His Majesty is in charge......

But as a result, Pei Yingxiao did not lag behind, and even had a faint tendency to surpass the second prince.

The whole process was extremely exciting, and it made people worry about it, and the handkerchief in the queen's hand was about to be torn.

In the end, Meng Yihuai's horse crossed the finish line first, and the crown prince and the second prince were tied.

Some people are happy and some are sad about this ending.

failed to take the opportunity to step on the crown prince to be in the limelight, of course Queen Qu was unwilling.

And the party of the East Palace has already celebrated happily, so it's good if you don't lose!

Meng Yihuai won the lottery, but the crown prince and the second prince chose the horse first, but they failed to distinguish the winner.

Pei Yingxiao took a step back, claiming that he was lucky to tie and let his younger brother choose first.

He was the first to speak, and immediately received a lot of appreciation, Pei Jingli was one step behind, and no matter how much he pushed, he couldn't show his bearing.

The three of them had their own gains under the nose of Emperor Tianqing, and they were happy for a while, the monarchs and ministers were suitable, and they were brothers and sisters.

*******

When he left the racecourse, the people were almost scattered, and Meng Yihuai chased after him from the rear.

He intended to give away the lottery he got, saying that he was grateful for Qu Ningxi's bet.

The tall and tough man and the graceful woman, one high and one low, look at each other, like a painting on the shore of the Spring Lake.

Qu Ningxi hesitated, it was not the other party's private belongings that were transferred, it was above board, and it was not a private gift.

But it is a clear signal that you can make an appointment with the other party and enter a step of formal meeting.

She didn't know much about Meng Yihuai, even if she was eager to leave at this time, she couldn't rush it......

was thinking about how to refuse, but the prince on the side had not yet left.
