Another big event happened in Beijing, which caught everyone's attention.
The Crown Prince and the King of Jin each teamed up to have a kicking competition. This was originally a game under jokes. Because of a sudden decree from Emperor Xi, the children of civil and military officials, princes, nobles and nobles can participate in this kicking competition. , the winner will be rewarded with auspicious dragon and cloud pendant, and other participants will be rewarded, which will bring the atmosphere to the highest level.
Juju, also known as polo, is a sport favored by the princes and nobles of Daxi, including when Emperor Xi was young, he would play a game when he was in the mood.
In fact, this was not the case at the beginning. Emperor Xi was on a whim in the martial arts field to test the martial arts of King Jin, but the prince suddenly arrived. The two of them have conflicts in themselves. The prince is not good at martial arts, and has always been jealous of King Jin. Seeing King Jin's heroic pride in the presence of the king, he is even more jealous.
The King of Jin naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity to step on the prince in public and speak out to challenge the prince. Although it was difficult for the prince to step down, it was still the next step because of his face. Who would have thought that there were a lot of people on the side at that time, and in order to fear that something might go wrong with these two princes, the people below suggested that it is better to compete in juju. In this way, it is neither hurtful nor afraid of accidental injury.
The following people were originally well-intentioned, but it was a simple matter, and because the two princes were fighting each other, there were also a lot of entanglements. The prince's heart is unstable, and naturally he is not the opponent of King Jin. During the period, he has suffered a lot from him secretly and secretly, so I won't go into details here.
On the day of the kicking competition, the Prince was in the lead. Who would have thought that the first team of Jinwang's team would come out ahead, and they led the Prince's first team by four goals in the first half. At the beginning of the second half, King Jin's team took the lead again. Maybe it was out of impatience, maybe out of other thoughts, or maybe it was an accident. The prince drove his horse and ran into King Jin's horse, hitting King Jin on the spot. go out.
For a time, the onlookers were in an uproar.
The King of Jin was seriously injured, and although there was no fear of his life, his leg bone was broken.
…
A batting match, no one thought it would end in such a situation.
It is common to suffer some flesh wounds while playing polo, but these people are not bad at riding, and they all know the severity. It means that if they hurt themselves, they would not dare to hurt the prince, but who would have thought that the prince would go crazy and ride his horse to the King of Jin. What about the bump
The King of Jin was carried to Chunluan Palace to be treated by the imperial physician. Emperor Xi didn't even look at the prince, and left with a whiff of his sleeves.
All the honorable ministers present knew that the prince was in a dire situation.
King Jin's leg is fine, but if something happens, a thorn has been inserted into His Majesty's heart that can never be pulled out. It reminds His Majesty all the time how ungrateful and intolerant the prince is. Just because of a small kick, he can treat his brother's life as nothing.
Most of the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital were recruited to Chunluan Palace. The result of the diagnosis was that the King Jin's legs depended on the recovery. If the recovery is good, there is no problem. If the recovery is not good, there will be more or less problems.
Emperor Xi was noncommittal, and invited Imperial Physician Zhou to see him again, and the results were similar to those of the others.
"Father, don't blame the royal brother, he, he didn't do it on purpose." King Jin said weakly as he lay there with a pale face.
"You still care about others, are you trying to piss off the concubine? My Jin'er, who are you provoking? What should I do if there is a problem with this leg..." Concubine Xu stood by the side. Wipe away tears, shaky.
"Don't talk nonsense, there are so many imperial doctors watching, how can you fall into trouble! You take good care of your injuries, and your father will take care of it at the prince's place. Zheng Haiquan—"
"The slave is here."
"Clean up the place where King Jin lived before he left the palace, and then move King Jin over there."
"Imperial Father, I'd better go back to Prince Jin's mansion. The manor can also recover from injuries. It's not good to live in the palace."
"What's wrong?"
"Anyway, Erchen wants to go back to the manor to recover from his injuries..."
King Jin's pale face flashed a stubbornness, and he closed his eyes and stopped talking. This kind of behavior will not make Emperor Xi feel disrespectful, but will only make him feel that this son is too sensible.
A look of tiredness flashed across Emperor Xi's face, and he said, "Since you want to go back to the mansion, go back to the mansion and take good care of it."
After Emperor Xi left, the hall fell into silence. Concubine Xu Gui was about to say something when someone from the palace came to report, "Niangniang, the empress is here to visit His Royal Highness King Jin."
"No." Concubine Xu's stern expression flashed across her face, "Tell her that His Royal Highness King Jin is in bad spirits and take a rest."
…
"Your Majesty, the Empress went to Chunluan Palace, but was blocked by the concubine. Her Royal Highness originally wanted to come to the Zichen Palace to apologize, but was ordered by the Empress to return to the East Palace."
Emperor Xi raised his hand, and the eunuch who was kneeling below withdrew.
"Zheng Haiquan, do you think this King Jin is acting for me?"
Zheng Haiquan on the side could not wait to find a hole to dig in, so that Emperor Xi could not see his best, but this thought was an extravagant hope, so he could only open his mouth and replied: "Minions and slaves don't feel like this, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is in front, the crown prince. His Royal Highness is behind, the horse is running fast, how could he prevent someone from hitting him behind."
This statement made Zheng Haiquan's heart tremble, but when His Majesty asked him by name, he could only express his thoughts.
Emperor Xi gave a 'um', "But the crown prince shouldn't be so blatant..."
Zheng Haiquan didn't dare to speak anymore, and stood there holding Fuchen, hunched over his waist and bowed his head.
Emperor Xi also thought that it was not like King Jin was deliberately acting, because everyone present could see that the prince's horse suddenly accelerated and rammed into King Jin's horse.
"What are the results of the two horses and the field check?"
"After repeated investigations, there is no problem."
Emperor Xi stopped making a sound, his face was terrifyingly gloomy.
After a long while, he said: "Prince is impetuous, and he will be fined to study in closed doors for a month." After a pause, he said: "Send that auspicious dragon and cloud pendant to King Jin, and by the way, it will be in my private library. Pick up some good and suitable medicinal materials and send them together, so that he can heal his wounds well."
"Yes."
The East Palace was frighteningly quiet today, and until His Majesty's order came down, it was as quiet as a no-man's land.
In the study, it was already dark outside, and there was still no light on.
Until now, the prince has not lost his mind. At that time, although he said that he didn't want to bump into King Jin, how he bumped into it, he didn't even understand.
While Emperor Xi checked the results, the prince also received news. In fact, the details of the news on both sides were reported at the same time, because the Queen's side was also watching.
Indeed, there is nothing abnormal, the venue and horses are all right, and the prince can't do anything if he wants to make an excuse for himself. He could only lock himself in the study and think over and over again, thinking that he had a splitting headache in the end and still had no conclusion. In the end, he could only blame himself for being dizzy for a while.
"His Royal Highness, is the servant lighting the lamp?" Chen Qi, who had been standing with the prince in the dark for nearly an hour, suddenly spoke up, and went to light the lamp as he spoke. "The slave believes that His Highness will never do such a thing, there must be something wrong with King Jin."
Chen Qi's tone was very natural, instead of persuading people, it seemed like telling a fact.
"You also think being alone is wronged?"
The room lit up, and Chen □□ nodded.
"His Royal Highness can't use such a clumsy method. Isn't this rushing to find trouble for himself? Although the servant is stupid, he also understands that in this situation, His Highness would rather hurt himself than let King Jin get hurt."
The prince suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he could feel completely at ease when he heard such words.
"But-"
"Say."
"The minion was also present at the time. It was obvious that it was His Highness's horse that suddenly accelerated and ran into it. It seems to be the same in the eyes of others."
Chen Qi looked at the prince's ugly face, his eyes flashed, and he continued: "That's why the servant thinks things are abnormal and infers the truth of a thing, the most fundamental thing is to see who benefits, there is no doubt that this matter is the king of Jin. The winner. But how can King Jin let His Highness's Ma Zhong slam into him in front of his eyes, the servants really can't figure it out."
After all that said, things went back to ***, which is something that no one can imagine.
…
"Actually, it's nothing. The solitary king just stopped his horse for a while."
In King Jin's mansion, King Jin's face was pale but he couldn't hide his pride.
Mr. Chen Da, the staff member, was stunned, "Stop for a while?"
"This is a sudden thought, such a good opportunity is placed in front of the Lone King, how can the Lone King not seize it!"
Easier said than done.
Under such high-speed running conditions, King Jin can stop his horse for a short while and run forward again. Not only need to have extraordinary riding skills, precise vision, but also have a decisive heart.
Excellent riding skills are horse control, and precise vision is to calculate a time difference between himself and the prince. The distance of a horse's body was originally a matter of breath, but it was this moment of lightning and flint that King Jin was able to take advantage of. And completely forgot his own safety, just to seize the opportunity at that point, this is a decisive heart.
I have to say that this King Jin is a rare talent, determined, courageous, and wise.
Mr. Chen Da was full of praise, "His Royal Highness is so talented, he will definitely achieve what he wants, and what he thinks is not empty."
"Now they don't have to wait for the Lone King to return to the fief. Before the Lone King's leg is healed, let's see who dares to mention this."
"Your Highness is wise."
At this time, the next person came to report, and the Prince of Chengen Hou arrived.
King Jin said quickly, please.
Xu Xiangrong was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe with dark patterns and a black embroidered brocade belt around his waist. When Mr. Chen Da saw him coming in, he hurried forward and bowed. Xu Xiangrong nodded slightly, approached the couch, and looked at King Jin with solemn eyes. He didn't feel relieved until he saw that his face was pale, but he was in good spirits.
King Jin naturally saw the condemnation in his uncle's eyes, and his face was a little uneasy, mixed with a little expectation and pride.
"Uncle."
When King Jin was very young, his uncle Xu Xiangrong was a wise man who was close to a demon in his mind. This kind of impression, even if the King of Jin is so close to his age, cannot be erased. He has never forgotten that the reason why he, his mother-in-law and even the Xu family can have everything in front of him is due to the man in front of him. When he and his mother-in-law were still weak, it was this man who advised them to fight against the empress and prince's lineage for many years, until now the west wind has gradually overwhelmed the east wind.
"You, you've done a good job, but remember that you can have opportunities at any time, and your own safety is the most important thing. You can't kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, that's what stupid people do."
King Jin nodded.
Xu Xiangrong looked at his legs and said, "What's your plan behind you?"
"Also ask my uncle to give pointers."
Xu Xiangrong nodded and sat down before the couch, "Since you can seize this opportunity, you must have some discretion in your heart. The prince's family has been looking for opportunities to get you back to the fief, and this matter just blocked their mouths. I plan for you in Beijing, but in the end, you need to be in charge in person, and you must know that those people don't look at my face, but because of your King Jin."
"Your Majesty is old, and the people below naturally have their own plans. We have endured for so many years, and we have given up for so many years. It is time to endure and let go. But secretly, he wants to show his posture. The so-called strong is king, and if you want others to be vassals, you must naturally have the capital to make others vassals." Xu Xiangrong tapped his knees, pondered for a while, and then said: "Your leg injury can still be used. I can't move the enemy, the old man of the Xiao family has always been very calm. But the enemy doesn't move, this time we can force him to move. The prince's line has been repeatedly beaten by us Suppression is already the end of the fight, and since this is the case, we can only take advantage of it by forcing them to jump off the wall."
King Jin was startled and asked anxiously, "What does my uncle mean?"
He was not stupid at all, but after Xu Xiangrong said it, he already understood some clues, and there was a hint of joy on his face.
"Since it's injured, I'll just make it more serious. I'll arrange this."
…
The matter reached King Yun and King Jing, which surprised them both.
Especially King Jing, he originally explained that he would try to muddy the water as much as possible. The dark line also said it, but it was to lead the prince to the past, but I didn't know that such a series of accidents happened.
King Jing was naturally surprised that King Jin was injured, but Ren was indeed injured, and on the surface no one had done anything. So how King Jin was injured has become a mystery.
But it doesn't matter whether it's a mystery or not. In short, the more chaotic it is, the more opportunities they can take, and naturally they are happy to see it happen.
Luo Huaiyuan also understood the reason, but based on his uneasy feeling, he sent a secret letter to King Jing's mansion to discuss the matter with King Jing. In recent days, Luo Huaiyuan would send a letter to Jingzhou every three or five minutes, not only to discuss important matters, but also to connect emotionally.
In the blink of an eye, it became cold, and winter was approaching.
After her six-year-old birthday, Niuniu has grown a little taller.
As she grew up, Niuniu became more and more like Yan Yan when she was a child. Except for her big round eyes that resembled Luo Huaiyuan, the rest seemed to be carved out of the same mold as Yan Yan when she was a child. Delicate, cute, beautiful, white and delicate skin, a pair of big eyes, and looking at her slender physique than girls of the same age, you know that she will be a slender and beautiful girl in the future.
Compared to Little Beauty's sister, Jian'er's image is just a little bit worse. Like a little meatball, it's almost the same as when his father was a child. Of course, a little baby girl of a few years old, even if she is fat, is quite cute. She is chubby and fleshy, and it always makes people want to pinch his little cheek and rub it.
Jian'er felt very aggrieved for this, but the three people in the family were older than him, so he could only be reduced to a toy in the hands of a few people.
There is no way, the mother's status in the house is the highest, the sister is the second, the father is the third, and he can only be the fourth. Dad once taught him that a manly man cannot compete with a woman, your mother and your sister are women, and we manly men have to let them.
In fact, the truth of the matter is that Luo Huaiyuan deeply felt that he had no dignity in front of the two children, and found an excuse. Other people's families are loving mothers and strict fathers, but theirs is the opposite of loving parents and strict mothers. Although Luo Huaiyuan is very content, but a father always has to erect a kind of majesty in front of his children.
So for his 'weakness' in front of Yan Yan, he explained to Niuniu that a man who married his daughter-in-law had to make her understand her, protect her, love her and love her. This is a real man. The explanation for the son became, we elders do not have the same knowledge as their wives.
In this regard, Jian'er did not express any objection, he just wondered, why is he not ranked third, shouldn't adults love the young
Luo Huaiyuan gave him another explanation. Your mother and your elder sister are not counted. The difference between us men is based on strength. You see that you are neither strong nor tall, so it is natural for you to be at the end of the ranking.
Jian'er was speechless and could only silently accept her poor status.
Seeing her husband fooling her young son like this, Yan Yan was amused, but it was hard to give birth to any refutation. First, it was a joke, and secondly, when her husband taught her son, she usually didn't intervene. The male is in charge of the outside and the female is in charge. The mother teaches her daughter, and the father teaches her son. Although Yan Yan was never a girly woman, it was Luo Huaiyuan's right to teach her son.
When Niu Niu saw that Niu was practicing three-nine in the winter and three-fu in the summer, and she practiced martial arts every day, she had long wanted to learn. It's just that before she was young and her bones were soft, Yan Yan never agreed to teach her.
No, seeing that she was a year older, she began to sharpen Yan Yan again. Yan Yan thought that she had also started to practice martial arts when she was so old, so she began to teach her daughter the basic skills.
The basic skills are nothing more than warm-up running and sprinting.
Niuniu seemed to be very interested in this. After listening to her mother's willingness to teach her, she instructed the palace servants beside her to make herself the same strong outfit as her mother, and then dressed up early in the morning to come to Yan Yan.
Naturally, this behavior could not be concealed from Jian'er, who lived in a side hall with her. After watching it for a day, he was clamoring to learn.
"Why are you so jealous of what I do! You play with your father, don't disturb me and my mother's martial arts."
"Practicing martial arts can strengthen your body, and Jian'er will have a great body in the future!"
After hearing this, Yan Yan pondered, what her son said was quite reasonable.
Niuniu retorted: "Forget it, you are so lazy, you have to sleep late every day, and you can't stand up like a little pig. You don't like practicing martial arts at all, but your eyes are hot."
Jian'er's bun-like face shriveled, and he whispered, "I will not stay in bed in the future, I will get up early every day in the future."
"Look at what you said with such a guilty conscience, you definitely can't do it."
Jian'er glanced at the domineering sister's face, then took a peek at her mother, and then raised his two little fat hands to cover his eyes, and burst into tears: "I have to learn, I have to learn, you I can't reject the future because of what happened in the past... woo... My elder sister is dead and bullies Jian'er every day... Jian'er also wants to be strong in the future..."
Luo Huaiyuan, who had been watching the battle, drank a mouthful of gruel and almost didn't burst out laughing. Others didn't see it, it didn't mean he didn't see it, this stinky boy also learned to pretend to cry, howling dryly without rain. According to past experience, Niu Niu will soon be defeated, will it be the same this time
"Why are you crying, you cry bag!"
"woo woo woo woo… "
Niuniu looked annoyed and pulled him: "Then what if your words don't count? What if you give up halfway?"
Seeing her sister's change of tone, Jian'er rubbed her eyes and said, "Definitely not."
Niuniu took out the veil from her arms and wanted to wipe his tears, but Jian'er was afraid that Lu Xian'er grabbed the veil and wiped it on her face indiscriminately. After wiping it, the chubby face and two eyes were indeed red, but Niu Niu was not suspicious.
"I will supervise you! Dare to give up halfway, be careful when I hit you!" Niuniu's expression was serious.
Jian'er's expression was also very serious, but her face was a little stiff.
If he really doesn't persevere, will my sister really beat him? This question is so deep!
"Mother, I will supervise my lazy brother!" Niuniu looked at Yan Yan and said, looking like an elder sister.
"it is good."
Yan Yan nodded calmly, saw the man wink at her, and scowled at him.
She raised herself and knew that Jian'er had completely inherited the laziness of a man, and Yan Yan expressed her doubts about whether he could persevere.
In any case, Niuniu and Jian'er began a difficult journey of learning martial arts.
The beginning of martial arts is naturally tiring and tedious, and the endless dashing horse steps alone are enough to make many people retreat. Niuniu is a very persevering child, she has been gnashing her teeth and persevering. And Jian'er was as expected by Yan Yan, it was three days of heat, and soon a series of things like being unable to get up in the morning, lack of energy, aching arms, legs, stomach and so on happened.
However, due to the supervision of a devil sister, Jian'er tried to be lazy and failed one by one, and was forced by Niu Niu to get up from the bed every day. All kinds of misery were unspeakable, and he regretted why he wanted to join in the fun at the beginning, so he didn't mention it, but this was something that happened later.
