Chapter 194: Hand-picked Horses

A few months later, news came from the capital that Yan Ruiqi was summoned to enter the palace because he was appointed by the emperor as the master of the horse, that is, the emperor's son-in-law.

Riich was shocked to hear the news. Why did the emperor designate him as a concubine, is it because he has made great contributions?

Ruiqi was puzzled, but the emperor's will could not be disobeyed, so he could only go with the flow.

Which princess fell in love with Riich, Riich is still a little foggy.

When General Huyan received the order, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, in the end, it is the emperor, and if you catch a fast son-in-law, you will catch my precious son.

Of course, in the eyes of everyone, Huyan Ruiqi is not an ordinary character.

Maybe before he participated in the school competition, he was still unknown. However, Ruiqi took the lead, shocked the four, and received the holy decree to the west, and united the generals to return to the court victoriously.

You must know that this is a tough battle that is not easy to fight, and since Huyan Ruiqi can win the war and retreat with all his body, the emperor will not despise this young talent.

Now it is the ninth princess waiting for the boudoir, and he is thinking hard about finding a good family for the ninth princess to marry.

When Huyan Ruiqi entered the palace, the emperor saw his chic and handsome appearance, and couldn't help but be moved, why not marry such a handsome young man to the ninth princess, but I don't know what his ability is, whether he has the talent to lead soldiers, it is better to try him.

So the emperor handed over the heavy responsibility of the western expedition to Huyan father and son, and made a decision on the day of victory and return to the court.

Who is the ninth princess, in fact, her name is Ruoxi, and she is the same age as Yuxi. Why does the emperor want to marry Huyan Ruiqi to her as a fast son-in-law?

Let's say that these nine princesses are the youngest daughters of the emperor today, the youngest princess, born with a beautiful country, talented and intelligent, and a rare talented woman.

Because of the talent of the ninth princess, there are few people in the imperial family who can be seen by her. But in that school competition, the ninth princess hid in the pavilion and secretly watched the whole process.

When Riich appeared for the first time, her heroic appearance touched the heart of the ninth princess, so she went on fighting.

Especially when Huyan Ruiqi easily defeated several opponents, the ninth princess secretly agreed.

She was not only very satisfied with Rich's appearance, but also admired his skills.

When Ruiqi was in the hidden weapon, the ninth princess was really worried, so she secretly asked the emperor to punish the perpetrator severely.

But the emperor originally convicted and beheaded the perpetrator, but fortunately, Huyan Ruiqi begged to spare his life in court, and the emperor saw Ruiqi's face to save him from death.

The Ninth Princess admires Richie's generosity even more, and his character is far better than those gentlemen in the eyes of the Ninth Princess, and he is a rare heroic talent.

When the emperor knew the mind of the ninth princess, he paid more attention to Huyan Ruiqi. He knew that his daughter's mind could not be kept, since this baby daughter favored Ruiqi, no matter which young man was introduced to her in the future, the ninth princess would not be satisfied, after all, she liked Huyan Ruiqi.

And Huyan Ruiqi didn't know that he had secretly won the heart of the ninth princess on this trip, and he was still in the dark.

At this moment, he has returned to the dynasty victoriously, completed a heavy task, and won the hearts of the people in the world.

But Ruiqi knows that he loves Yuxi, and although Yuxi is no longer there, Riich has never forgotten it.

The nine princesses are in the palace, but they have been thinking about Huyan Ruiqi, and the maid next to her understands the princess's thoughts and has been helping her inquire about Ruiqi's whereabouts.

When the emperor appointed Ruiqi to go west, the ninth princess Ruoxi was very worried, and kept blaming her father for being too ruthless, and actually handed over such an extraordinary battle to Ruiqi to fight, wouldn't it cost him his life.

But the emperor's idea was not ordinary, he said to Ruoxi: "If you want to marry Huyan Ruiqi, then he must win the hearts of the people." Otherwise, so many royal relatives will blame us for being biased, and even say that they look down on them. Do you know how many princes and nobles have come to ask for marriage over the years, I can't count them? Not to mention a little Huyan Ruiqi, even the princes of the subject countries want to marry you. But Ruoxi, you don't like anyone, but you fall in love with Huyan Ruiqi, why do you say this?"

Ruoxi had an innocent look on his face: "But Daddy, they are all ordinary ordinary people, you look at those young masters, they all look like they have big bellies, or they are mediocre people who don't read sage books, how can they be so endearing as Huyan Ruiqi?"

The emperor smiled: "It turns out that you have taken a fancy to Huyan Ruiqi's talent, he is well versed in poetry and books, and has a body of martial arts, and his appearance is outstanding, which is very rare." However, it is too easy for him to marry you just by virtue of the fame of a martial champion, which can't convince everyone. That's why I appointed him as the general of Dingguo, and personally led the troops to the west to fight a difficult war. If he is the material to lead the troops, the day he returns to victory, he will have great achievements, so that those competitors can be convinced, do you understand?"

Ruoxi was still unconvinced: "But you let him fight Capricorn Country, you have also heard how terrible those opponents are, isn't this hitting a stone with an egg?"

The emperor smiled bitterly: "How can you hit a stone with an egg, isn't there a general Huyan? But if he doesn't make great achievements, how can he convince those imperial relatives and relatives? What do you say, Ruoxi?"

Ruoxi knew that she couldn't convince her father to prevent Ruiqi from fighting this uncertain war. But according to the emperor's idea, if Ruiqi can't complete the task, then he can't become his own concubine, after all, there are too many imperial relatives who want to marry her.

If Ruiqi didn't get on the stage, the emperor would not be able to fulfill them, then Ruoxi could only sigh with hope.

Therefore, Ruoxi had no choice but to hold back his temperament and wait for Riich's return.

Every time the emperor received the battle situation of the Western Expedition, Ruoxi always couldn't help but want to inquire about the situation of Ruiqi.

When she learned that Riich's father and son were besieged, she couldn't help but feel anxious, for fear that Riich would have some accidents, so she secretly urged her father to increase troops in the Western Regions to rescue Riqi.

The emperor knew his daughter's thoughts, and was worried that Huyan Ruiqi would drink blood and yellow sand and die before his ambition was paid, but the use of soldiers was not trivial.

Therefore, after the imperial court learned of the battle situation, it first mobilized a part of the hussars around the main city to reinforce the main city, and then it happened that General Murong personally asked for the order to go west, which was in line with the emperor's wishes.

For this reason, the emperor asked General Murong to lead 200,000 troops to quickly reinforce Huyan's father and son to relieve the siege of the main city.

As everyone knows, Murong Yuxi also went in person, which surprised the emperor, but General Murong is a fierce general and General Huyan's old partner, in this battle, if they join forces, it can be said that the victory is in hand, otherwise changing the candidate may not be in line with General Huyan's wishes.

But the war situation is urgent, and the emperor can't afford to think about it anymore, no matter what the relationship between Murong Yuxi and Huyan Ruiqi is, it's too late to think about it.

Only by winning this tough battle can the border be preserved, and it is a rare opportunity to want Riich to become a colt.

The emperor can't control so much at this time, as long as Huyan Ruiqi wins the battle and can get out of the way, it is a good thing to have the best of both worlds, as for whether he can become a horse master in the future, maybe there is still room for negotiation.

Throughout the ages, who would dare to disobey the emperor's order? As long as the opportunity is ripe, he will declare Huyan Ruiqi as the quick son-in-law of the East Bed, and there is no reason not to obey it.

What's more, the ninth princess took a fancy to him personally, how could Rui Qi disobey him.

But he didn't expect Murong Yuxi to disappear in the Western Regions and die. After hearing this, the emperor not only sighed that Huyan Ruiqi had such a rare confidante, but also admired Murong Yuxi's courage, so he posthumously awarded her the title of "Loyal General" and gave her a high coffin and a thick burial.

When Riich heard about this, she was a little reluctant.

First, what he likes is Murong Yuxi, although Yuxi is no longer alive at this time, but Ruiqi is unwilling, he even wants to stay alone, hoping that one day Yuxi will suddenly appear in front of him, and he has comforted the pain of lovesickness.

Second, he and Yuxi have already worshiped heaven and earth, and swore to stay together for the rest of their lives, and now that he is declared a colt, how can he be willing to break his oath.

As a result, Riich was extremely distressed, meditated, did not think about tea and dinner, and gradually described as emaciated.

General Huyan saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart. Although Richie is already a general with great achievements, it is unreasonable to be so depressed in private.

He knew that his son Ruiqi would be like this for Yuxi, but Yuxi was obviously no longer alive, so why did he suffer?

General Huyan knew that Ruiqi was infatuated, and even whimsically thought that Yuxi would return here one day, but he understood that it was impossible, and there was no reason to survive if the abyss fell.

General Huyan looked at Ruiqi sitting in front of the window, thinking silently about his thoughts, silent, not at all the original vigorous young man, and couldn't help but be anxious. In this world, who else can comfort poor Riich, who can lend a hand except Yuxi?

Otherwise, General Huyan feared that Riich would be like a flower and plant that would wither in the cold of winter until it fell into the dust.

Thinking of this, General Huyan couldn't help but sigh, if he really made Ruiqi a concubine, I don't know if the ninth princess can comfort Ruiqi, or cheer him up, and become a heroic young man again, even if the ninth princess is golden, it is worth it.

But what happened to these nine princesses, General Huyan had only heard of it before, and he didn't know the true face of the nine princesses. He was very curious about why this golden branch and jade leaf would fall in love with the unknown Ruiqi, and the emperor had to personally match, which was really worth thinking about.

So General Huyan planned to take the time to ask his friend General Murong, maybe General Murong knew a thing or two.
