Chapter 18: Arena

Views:

Yongning was stunned for a long time, and then he said in surprise: "The prince is coming to form a team to compete?"

Caiyun said: "His Highness said he would be here soon."

Everyone was excited and looked at Prince Qing and his wife with gloating eyes. Even Cui Wenxi laughed and joked: "Silang, your nephew is coming to destroy you."

Zhao Chengyan said angrily: "That kid doesn't know the heights of the world. He has to speak in front of the saint tomorrow."

Yongning smiled and said: "Fourth brother, your uncle is a victorious general in the court. If you can't beat your nephew, it will be a big loss."

Zhao Chengyan said unhappily: "As my sister said, even though Erlang doesn't stand out on the court, you must not forget that his father taught him his art."

After his reminder, Yongning said "Ouch", "I almost forgot if you didn't mention it." He immediately said to himself, "This scene today is really rare."

No, when the girls outside heard that the prince was going to team up with Princess Qing to fight against Prince Qing, they were all excited and rushed to the court to watch.

For a time, many people gathered in the stands.

It took a while for Zhao Yue to enter the court. The girls all whispered to each other when they saw the upright young man.

Zhao Chengyan said in the tone of an elder: "Erlang, you are becoming more and more disgraceful. You even dare to come and tear down your Fourth Emperor's uncle."

Zhao Yue looked at him and smiled, with a pair of peach blossom eyes showing the squeamishness of a noble son, "I just heard them say that no one dared to team up with the Fourth Emperor's Aunt to shoot bows. It can be seen that the Fourth Emperor's Uncle is famous far and wide, and I will have to help you later." Respect yourself and give your nephew a chance."

Zhao Chengyan pointed at him and said in a joking tone, half-seriously: "Tear me down, I won't go to the saint tomorrow to sue you."

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.

Cui Wenxi spat: "Look at how promising Silang is. If someone calls you uncle, you can't afford to lose?"

Zhao Chengyan: "Yuan Niang, please don't argue. I will beat you until you are convinced on the court."

Cui Wenxi scoffed.

Today she drank wine. As the saying goes, wine makes people bold. She insisted on competing with him to see if he was better or worse. Let him, Zhao Silang, take a good look at her. Her bowing down in the past was just to indulge him.

Now that Princess Qing has successfully formed a team, Yongning asked the girls at the scene who dared to team up with Prince Qing to fight the prince.

The ladies were whispering underneath.

Cui Wenxi persisted in wanting to slap Prince Qing in the face, fearing that the fight would turn ugly again, so he changed his usual politeness and said tactfully: "Girls, there is no crown princess in the East Palace at the moment. Don't hold back. Don't be strong." If you have the guts to show your face in front of the prince, why are you still standing there?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Zhao Yue's ears turned red when she heard this, and she said angrily: "Aunt Four Emperors, are you selling this co-authorship to me?"

Pingyang also followed suit and shouted loudly: "Ladies, my brother has good conduct, has no bad habits, and is handsome. Little ladies, please don't hold him back!"

"Sister!"

Zhao Yue was so embarrassed and embarrassed by the two women that her fair face was stained with crimson.

After all, he has never been through human affairs, and he has been influenced by Chen Ping's rigid Confucianism. He is a man who has etiquette, justice and integrity engraved in his bones. Now being teased by two women, he didn't know how to deal with it. He wanted to dig a hole and crawl in.

The young man raised in a deep palace is calm and decisive in political affairs, and he has a lot of tricks to win people's hearts, but he is not good at dealing with the affairs of his daughter's family because there is no one to teach him!

Seeing him standing there in embarrassment, Yongning also found it interesting and said: "Erlang, a man of great dignity, how can he be so frightened by these girls that his legs weaken?"

Zhao Yue gritted her teeth, resisting the urge to dig a hole in the ground and replied, "Auntie, please don't interfere."

Yongning said domineeringly: "Erlang will be the emperor in the future, and there will be three thousand beauties in the harem surrounding you. Are you afraid of this small scene today?"

Zhao Yue: "..."

These women are really becoming more and more unseemly as they talk!

He was naturally handsome, and his face was stained with a shy blush. Seeing his beautiful face made many girls fall in love, and some of the more courageous girls began to volunteer to team up with Prince Qing.

There were three girls in the crowd who came forward to participate in this battle. Who would have thought that Zhao Chengyan had become competitive and insisted on giving Cui Wenxi some color, so he ignored those three girls.

He wants to challenge girls with the best juju skills to form a team to defeat Cui Wenxi and let her know what it means for a husband to be his wife!

In the end, it was Feng Sanniang from the Hou family of Huaiyin who came to fight, and she caught the eye of King Qing and agreed to form a team.

Feng Sanniang's bowing skills are recognized as strong among the ladies. She has always been a striker, but this time she took the initiative to assist.

After the two sides successfully formed a team, the four of them went down to change clothes.

Cui Wenxi changed into a pine flower round-neck Hufu, a narrow-sleeved robe, a leather belt around the waist, leggings under the robe, and black boots on her feet. The high bun on her head was replaced by a men's hairpin, with just a white jade hairpin. Then he sent it away.

The makeup on her face has also been retouched to fit this smart and neat outfit.

Feng Sanniang has already arrived at the court, wearing a bright red dress.

After a while, Zhao Yue also came out, changing into a blue-gray Hufu with a lapel collar. The collar and cuffs of the robe were embroidered with animal patterns, which looked quite luxurious.

Pingyang asked curiously: "Erlang, your Fourth Emperor's uncle is very good at playing bow, are you sure you can beat him?"

Zhao Yue grinned, looking like a noble prince, "It depends on whether the Fourth Emperor dares to defeat him."

On the other side, Cui Wenxi changed her clothes and was stopped by Zhao Chengyan when she came out. He was obviously a little angry that she had made such a scene, and restrained his temper and said: "Yuan Niang really plans to fight me?"

Cui Wenxi looked up at him, quite heroic, "What else?"

Zhao Chengyan snorted coldly, "I'll make you cry later."

Cui Wenxi retorted: "Maybe the one crying is Shiro."

Zhao Chengyan pointed at her and left without saying anything.

Fang Ling was afraid that the two of them would get into trouble after they returned, so she worriedly asked, "Do you really want to fight with your husband?"

Cui Wenxi said as he walked: "I have been holding myself back for a while because of the affairs of the other hospital. I should have a fight to vent my anger."

Fangling: "..."

The four of them walked to the court one after another, and Zhao Yue's eyes fell on Cui Wenxi, who was young and lively in pine-colored clothes, not at all as old-fashioned and steady as before.

He thought carefully and deliberately said in a junior tone: "Aunt Four Emperors, can you bear the end of this kicking match?"

Cui Wenxi raised his eyebrows, "Why can't I bear it?"

Zhao Yue pursed her lips and smiled, and said shyly: "After all, this is a husband and wife fight. If you two get into trouble after we go back, Uncle Four Emperors will come to my father tomorrow and complain to me. I am mute and cannot tell how hard it is to eat Coptis chinensis."

This made the people in the stands chuckle.

Yong Ning joked: "Silang, look, your nephew is scared by you. When you go back today, will you and your wife fight at night?"

Zhao Chengyan was angry and laughing, pointing at Zhao Yue and saying: "Good nephew, just come here and I won't sue you tomorrow."

Cui Wenxi said, "I'll be the forward, and Erlang will be the assistant." After saying that, he looked at Zhao Yue and asked, "Do you agree?"

Zhao Yue showed an innocent little white lotus expression, with a pair of peach blossom eyes flashing with cunning, she looked at Zhao Chengyan and said: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Uncle Four Emperors. Aunt Four Emperors won't let me play forward, so I can't let go." come over."

Zhao Chengyan: "You are a man, how can you be a woman's assistant?"

Zhao Yue said shamelessly: "It's great to be protected by elders." Then he looked at Cui Wenxi and said, "The Fourth Emperor Aunt has thought carefully about it and is afraid that I will not be able to communicate with my mother if I fall and get hurt, right?"

Cui Wenxi followed the trend and said, "This is exactly the truth."

Zhao Chengyan was choked and speechless.

It was the first time for both parties to form a team, so they always had to communicate with each other about their battle plans.

In the past, Zhao Yue has always been a striker in shooting games, but today he stepped back to play support.

Cui Wenxi wanted to win this game. He was extremely obedient and cooperative. He would do whatever she said. He was obedient and docile, almost giving her the illusion that this person was easy to control.

On the opposite side, Zhao Chengyan was also communicating with Feng Sanniang on combat strategies. Both of them were veterans in the jiju court, and their skills were top-notch. All the onlookers present felt that they would win.

After all, Cui Wenxi played as a forward to compete with King Qing, which sounded unreliable at first glance.

No, Yongning was addicted to gambling, so he said to Pingyang, "How about we make a bet?"

Pingyang asked: "What does aunt want to bet on?"

Yongning said: "Bet on what is most valuable to you."

Pingyang asked again: "Auntie, who wants to bet on who will win?"

Yongning: "I bet that Shiro will win." He added, "Changyue and Erlang are too young, how can they be his opponents?"

Pingyang curled his lips and said unconvinced: "Since my aunt bets that Uncle Four Emperors will win, then I will bet that Erlang will win."

The two of them took out the most valuable things on their bodies to make bets. Pingyang was an imperial green jade bracelet, and Yongning was a set of gemstone hairpins.

The two took down the objects and put them in the wooden tray.

Pingyang said to Zhao Yue: "My good brother, you must win this game today, otherwise the jade bracelet that my mother gave me will fall into the hands of my aunt. When she asks about me, I Just say you took it."

Zhao Yue laughed angrily, "You still blame me for co-writing?"

Yongning thought the two of them couldn't get enough of gambling, so he encouraged the ladies present to place bets.

Many people were ready to make a move and placed bets one after another. In the end, most of them were Prince Qing who placed the bets.

Cui Wenxi looked at everyone's actions and was angry and laughing.

Zhao Yue said humorously: "Auntie Four Emperors has something she wants to bet on. Maybe I can get some back by placing it with Uncle Four Emperors."

Cui Wenxi: "..."

Sometimes she thinks this guy is really interesting.

Later, Yongning began to announce the rules of the match. There were three games. The first goal scored would be the winner. The prize was the pair of mandarin duck jade combs.

After explaining the rules clearly, the two groups saluted each other.

When both sides were ready, a gong sounded, the seven treasure balls bounced on the ground, the players immediately grabbed the ball, and the game officially kicked off!
