476, horse racing 2
However, on the racetrack, the fifth prince, who was a little older, was running on horseback. Occasionally, he could lift a bow and arrow on the horse, but because of his inexperienced riding skills, he could only hold up a show. , with his ability, he could only stop the horse, turn around and shoot an arrow, after all, he was only eleven years old.
The seven-year-old Fourth Princess and the six-year-old Fifth Princess could barely let the horse trot because of their young age and being a girl, with eunuchs running alongside them.
The oldest among the group of princes and princesses is the third princess Gong Yunshan. She is thirteen years old and has participated in royal hunting for many years. , riding awkwardly.
Compared with everyone else, Gu Qianxue has made rapid progress, and now she has entered the fast running stage, holding the rein in her hand, stepping on the stirrups with both feet, leaving her body from the saddle, and the brown horse gallops forward like a dazzling light.
The eldest princess Yong'an was very excited, and was even more envious. She stepped on the white horse and shouted, "Gu Qianxue, how about we have a race?"
Gu Qianxue almost fell off the horse when she heard these words, she thought to herself that her adoptive mother is so shameless, she has only learned for a few hours, and the eldest princess is about to race horses with her, isn't this bullying? Although she thought so in her heart, the galloping horse and the strong wind stimulated her excitement, "Come on, who is afraid of whom?"
Princess Yong'an didn't expect that Gu Qianxue would really be able to face the battle, so she became excited, "Hey, you are so courageous!" Saying that, she got on the dust-free horse and galloped away.
Someone in the pavilion beside the racecourse said, "Princess Yong'an and Princess Qianxue are racing horses." A group of idle concubines immediately rushed over to watch. Concubine Qin was so frightened that her face paled with fright. Helped him down to the edge of the pavilion.
Princess Yong'an was chasing after her. Gu Qianxue hurriedly put aside distracting thoughts and concentrated her internal energy on her legs. Her slender legs were immediately stronger than steel, and she stepped firmly on the stirrups. She squatted halfway and looked forward. She has her advantage, that is, she has internal strength, although her internal strength is only a little bit, but because of the breathing internal strength method, her internal strength output can be said to be stable and long-lasting, even ordinary masters are no match for her.
Although the brown horse is not as good as the dust-free horse, it is also a good horse in the palace. It will strictly execute the command signal immediately. If the command signal is not very accurate, it will think and analyze it and carry out the most likely command.
Therefore, even though Gu Qianxue was a beginner, she was not at a disadvantage when chased by Princess Yong'an.
After all, Princess Yong'an has superb riding skills and excellent horses, and she caught up with her in about a cup of tea, "Gu Qianxue, you can do it, I really want to treat you differently."
Gu Qianxue pursed her lips into a smile, but she didn't dare to answer. She was afraid that she would fall off the horse after she accidentally lost her strength. At such a fast speed, if she didn't fall to her death, she would suffer a shattered fracture.
The two horses continued to gallop around the track, and when they passed the pavilion of the concubines, many concubines were cheering for the two, and the eunuchs and maids shouted at the signal of the masters.
The princes and princesses lost their interest in riding horses, and came to watch, and even more adored Sister Qianxue.
Suddenly, a group of people came from the racecourse, centered on the emperor wearing a golden dragon robe, followed by the prince, princes and several ministers.
When he saw the two galloping with two horses, the emperor couldn't help applauding, "What a woman who won't let her eyebrows go, good!" What he admired most was the heroic woman who rode and shot well, and this was also the reason why Fengqiu Anran was the princess in the past. reason. If he hadn't seen Qiu Anran's arrogance and ignorance at the Bilin Lake Fighting Art Competition with his own eyes, he might have always admired Qiu Anran.
Once upon a time, because of the fragility of Princess Yong'an and Qiu Anran's ignorance and frivolity, the emperor had prejudice against women practicing martial arts, but now seeing Gu Qianxue's heroic appearance, he rekindled his appreciation.
When the prince saw that Gu Qianxue was running alongside Princess Yong'an, he was surprised at first, and then admired.
The second prince said, "I didn't expect Princess Qianxue to be capable of literature and martial arts, but I don't know who will get this strange flower in the end." He said, looked at the prince with a smile, and then looked back at King Li.
However, Wang Li had a gloomy face, not to mention admiration, not even the slightest bit of joy.
"Brother Emperor, what's the matter with you, I thought you would be happy for the Princess." The second prince said a lot.
Li Wang's eyebrows became more and more tight, "She doesn't know how to ride."
The second prince naturally didn't believe it, he squeezed the delicate corners of his eyes, "I thought the elder brother knew Princess Qianxue very well." The subtext was that Princess Qianxue still has some secrets to keep from the person next to her pillow.
King Li snorted coldly, "How can I not know if she knows how to ride? Just ask her later."
After listening to King Li's words, the prince could no longer laugh, and looked at Gu Qianxue again with worry in his eyes.
The second prince was also shocked, "You mean, today is Gu Qianxue's first time riding a horse? How is it possible, no one has ever ridden so well for the first time."
The fourth prince, who was able to attend court with the emperor just now, praised Gu Qianxue, and the emperor said, "It would be great if Qianxue was a man, but it's a pity."
All the ministers immediately said yes. "If Princess Qianxue is a man, the emperor will have another right-hand man, and the country will have another talent." "If Princess Qianxue is a man, maybe he can take over the burden of Marshal Zhao and guard the frontier for Nanyue .” Yun Yun.
During the speech, a man standing on the right side of the emperor also smiled in agreement, but his eyes were gloomy.
This man was old, about sixty years old, thin and thin, with silvery eyebrows, and deep wrinkles on his face, but his half-drooped eyes revealed a shrewd look from time to time. This person's name is Pei Jinxiao, and he is none other than the queen's father, the current head of state, and even the prime minister who is under one person and above ten thousand people.
Prime Minister Pei smiled when he heard the emperor's words, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, he echoed a few words casually, and then exchanged glances with the people beside him. The person who exchanged colors with him was Lord Qiu who had just returned to Beijing to attend the emperor's birthday and report on his duties.
Lord Qiu and Marshal Zhao were two important military generals in Nanyue, and they held the military power in their hands. The relationship can only be regarded as nodding acquaintances, but now the relationship is even more rigid. It wasn't because of anything else, it was because Gu Qianxue blatantly made Qiu Anran unable to get off the table.
"I wanted you to see my new BMW horse, but now I see another wonder. Let's go and have a look." He said, leading a group of people towards the racecourse.
Just as everyone was about to take a step, they heard a eunuch reporting from the side, "Report to the emperor, Princess Anran has arrived."
Prime Minister Pei and Lord Qiu looked at each other calmly, with a gloomy smug look in their eyes - on the racetrack, it's up to Gu Qianxue to beat Qiu Anran with some clever tricks.
