Cui Yanyan's expression did not escape Nangong Yue's eyes at all. She only thought it was a little ridiculous, but the love and hatred of the third prince's family had nothing to do with her. In front of the queen, she bowed her knees.

The queen said with a smile, "No gift."

After meeting the two princes and concubines, Cui Yanyan snatched in front of the second princes and said kindly to Nangongyue, "I didn't expect the prince to come today. It's a pity." She sighed, "Xiao'er My sister is not feeling well these days, so I couldn't come to the palace together, otherwise your cousins ​​can still talk about sisterhood." As she spoke, she showed a sneer at Nangong Yue from an angle that the queen couldn't see.

Since the miscarriage of Qi Yi, Cui Yanyan has also complained. She did nothing, but she was suspected to have ruthlessly attacked Qi Yi for no reason... What I didn't expect was that Qi Yi took this opportunity to get the pity of Han Lingfu. . Since that day, Han Lingfu has never been to Bai Muxiao's place for the night again, and Bai Muxiao has been "ill" until now, locking herself in Xinghui Courtyard every day.

As long as she thought that Bai Muxiao had fallen out of favor, Cui Yanyan felt that her momentary grievances and forbearance were worth it.

"What the third prince said is that since you're not feeling well, you should take care of it in the house." Nangong Yue nodded in approval, "Walking around regardless of your body, isn't that causing trouble for others?" She seemed to laugh She looked at Cui Yanyan with a non-smiling smile.

Cui Yanyan was so angry that she was stuck in her chest. What does Nangong Yue mean by this pun? Ironically, he was pregnant, and he took her to the Princess Mansion to be a guest, causing trouble for the Princess Yuncheng?

The Second Prince Concubine, Yuan Yuyi and the others who were present were also present that day, so they naturally understood what Nangong Yue was alluding to, and were secretly amused in their hearts. Even the queen couldn't help shaking her head, secretly saying: I really can't get on the stage, just like the third prince.

Nangong Yue also ignored Cui Yanyan and took Xiao Fei to sit beside Yuan Yuyi and Fu Yunyan.

"Ayue," Fu Yunyan said excitedly, "I heard that this batch of tribute horses came from the Western Regions, and all of them are rare good horses." This horse lover knows the saying "Southwest Yi has produced good horses since ancient times."

Yuan Yuyi shook her head and sighed, "Because of this tribute horse, Liu Niang didn't sleep for most of the night last night."

Of course, the queen heard the words of the two, and couldn't help but laugh: "Liu Niang, you will have to pick one later."

"That's natural." Fu Yunyan replied as a matter of course.

During the conversation, the third princess and the eldest prince also came to greet the queen, and after that, several female relatives of princes and nobles came one after another.

After a while, the emperor sent someone to summon the news, so everyone got up and went to the horse farm in the northwest corner of the palace together.

The sparsely populated racecourse is extremely lively today, and the emperor, several princes and all the princes have already arrived. A huge bright yellow tent was erected beside the racecourse, and the emperor sat on the dragon seat in the tent.

After the queen brought a group of female relatives to salute the emperor, she sat down on the phoenix seat beside the emperor.

The emperor gave an order, and the servants took the dozens of tribute horses into the horse farm. Red horses, white horses, black horses, whether they were solid-colored or variegated, each horse was tall and vigorous, with bright fur, and it was a sturdy horse. Anyone who sees it knows that it is a good horse.

This time the emperor gave the horse generously. These horses are all good horses, not only those close children and nephews, but also many children in the capital who he admired, all of them, even Nangong Xin. Call for a horse.

From a distance, seeing Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan, Nangong Xin smiled and waved: "Sister, Liu Niang."

"A Xin!" Fu Yunyan couldn't wait to speed up and stepped forward, with a bright smile on her face.

In comparison, Nangong Yue, who was walking slowly and slowly, seemed much calmer.

The emperor and queen on the side also noticed it, and there was a smile in their eyes. Fu Yunyan and Nangong Yue were moving and quiet. I didn't expect that they would get along very well, and finally they became sisters-in-law. Sometimes I still have to feel that this is really fate!

Seeing that Nangong Xin and Fu Yunyan were talking happily, the Queen covered her mouth and smiled: "Your Majesty, Liu Niang and A Xin are really talented, and my cousin-in-law is afraid that she will die of joy." It's Mrs. Fu.

The smile in the emperor's eyes was even stronger, "When the two of them have a wedding, I and the queen will also go to the emperor's aunt to ask for a drink."

Naturally, the queen was in a hurry to answer the promise.

During the conversation, the princes took the lead in picking their horses, followed by the princesses and concubines, and after that, it was the other people's turn.

The princes first picked their horses, then the princesses and concubines, and after that, it was the other people's turn.

Dozens of sturdy horses were lined up in a row in the racecourse, and the young masters picked up the horses on their own, while the girls were so dazzled that they didn't know which one to pick.

Yuan Yuyi couldn't help sighing: "I see why every horse is similar except for the color."

Fu Yunyan said rationally: "Cousin Yi, how can these horses be the same! Obviously this one has thinner bones and long and powerful limbs; the other one is shorter, but has strong muscles and is responsive; and Also, the eye over there is bigger than the other horses, the so-called big eye means big heart, and the horse with big heart is brave and not easy to be frightened..."

Fu Yunyan talked incessantly, while Nangong Yue, Yuan Yuyi and Han Qixia on the side seemed to understand, but Xiao Fei said thoughtfully: "The method of looking at horses: first look at the head and ears, and the ears are like bamboos. , eyes like a bird's eye, a deer's ridge, a belly, a tiger's breast, and a tail like a hanging broom..."

Fu Yunyan's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she asked with a smile, "A Fei, do you also know the way of Xiangma?"

Ah Fei? Xiao Fei was a little embarrassed by this intimate address, so she couldn't help but glance at Fu Yunyan, no one had ever called her like that...but it felt pretty good.

There was a hint of shyness on Xiao Fei's face, and he explained: "I just read the "Taibai Yinjing", and the thirty-second chapter of the third volume said it is about horses, but what the book said and the actual look really still There's a difference..." She glanced at the horses in front of her, "For example, how is it that the ears are stunned?"

"Come, come!" Fu Yunyan pulled Xiao Fei up, pointed to the ears of one of the horses and started talking to her in detail, Xiao Fei nodded repeatedly, constantly corroborating the contents of the book she had read.

Others were at a loss, completely listening but not understanding.

Yuan Yuyi simply spread out her hands and sighed, "Liu Niang, how about you and Sister Fei choose one for me?"

"Okay." Fu Yunyan agreed, rolled her eyes, and said with a smile, "Cousin Yi, you are timid, so choose the one with big eyes."

Make fun of her again! Yuan Yuyi glared at Fu Yunyan angrily, but she still chose the jujube red horse with big eyes.

Nangong Yue and Han Qixia exchanged glances, both of them couldn't help laughing. The two of them didn't understand Xiangma either, and they had no interest in it at all, so they both gave Fu Yunyan the task and gave Fu Yunyan the opportunity to give Xiao Fei a lesson in Xiangma...

It took nearly a stick of incense, and the girls finally picked their horses. Seeing that Fu Yunyan finally chose a white horse for herself, everyone was a little surprised.

It was a docile mare, and although it was a good horse, it was obviously not to Fu Yunyan's liking. Different from ordinary women, Fu Yunyan has always liked tall and vigorous horses and enjoyed the pleasure of galloping.

Fu Yunyan shrugged and said, "I didn't pick this horse for myself..."

When she said this, all the girls suddenly looked at Nangong Xin, who was not far away, with a playful look in their eyes. Who knew Fu Yunyan shook her head and said, "It's not for A Xin, it's for cousin Yu. I It's enough to have the sweaty BMW that A Xin gave me, just as my cousin Yu just learned to ride a horse, he still lacks a good and docile horse. Do you think this is due to drowsiness, and someone gave me a pillow?" He happened to meet the emperor. Horses!

Fu Yunyan was about to invite everyone to test the horses, but suddenly thought of something, and said with a show of laughter: "Speaking of my cousin Yu... Cousin Yi, A Yue, Cousin Xia, guess who will visit our mansion tomorrow? ...I'll give you a hint, he is the one I admire the most!"

Nangong Yue hadn't thought that Yuan Yuyi had already blurted out, "Could it be Marquis Anyi?" Apart from Yong Yang, Fu Yunyan's most admired person was probably Marquis Anyi.

"It's Marquis Anyi." Fu Yunyan said with a pair of eyes shining, "Didn't my cousin Yu recently take a job as the head of Lifan Academy in Lifan Academy? So he has been working with Marquis Anyi all this time. With that said, Fu Yunyan's face showed a hint of envy, "Two days ago, my cousin told my grandmother that Marquis Anyi had given him a lot of advice in dealing with others, and asked my grandmother how to show her gratitude. My grandmother suggested to ask Marquis Anyi to come over." I'm a guest at the house... The General Officer is going to come to my house as a guest! I'm sure I won't be able to sleep tonight."

She spoke excitedly, but when the girls heard it, they sighed inwardly. Is this what a girl who is engaged to say should say?

Everyone looked at Nangong Xin sympathetically, and then met Nangong Yue's smiling eyes. Fortunately, Fu Yunyan's future husband and future sister-in-law are big enough!

At this time, the eldest prince, the second prince and the third prince who had slipped around the horse happened to come back.

The eldest prince jumped off the horse, smiled and said to the emperor: "Father, the son and the second and third brothers were just talking about comparing the horses."

The emperor heard a hint of interest and asked, "How do you plan to compare?"

A gleam of light flashed in the first prince's eyes, and said, "Then whose horse runs fast, that is the best horse." Then he looked at the second prince and provocatively said, "Second prince, brother, how do you feel?"

The second prince smiled nonchalantly: "Since the eldest brother is interested, what about us?" There was also a bit of sharpness in his tone.

Han Lingfu followed with a smile and said, "That's also a little brother, the little brother will accompany the two brothers to have a fun together."

The emperor smiled and stroked his palms: "Okay! Today I want to see who is Bole among the emperors!"

As soon as the emperor said "Bole", it attracted several conjectures in the hearts of the three princes. After all, Bole not only refers to people who know horses, but also praises people and recognizes heroes.

The relationship between the first prince and the second prince can be said to be tense and sparks. Naturally, this could not be hidden from the eyes of onlookers. Nangong Yue blinked suspiciously. Could it be that something happened that she didn't know about?

Seemingly seeing the doubts in Nangong Yue's heart, Yuan Yuyi explained from the side: "Yue'er, don't you know yet? The second prince and concubine are happy!"

Nangong Yue was stunned, and glanced at the eldest prince and the second prince clearly. Although the third prince's side concubine Qiyi had also been pregnant before, firstly, he was just a shy son, and secondly, this child has half the blood of Baiyue, and naturally it will not become a climate in the future. But the second prince and concubine are different. She is the main family. If she gives birth to a grandson, she will be the eldest son of the second prince, and the weight is self-evident.

As the saying goes: there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and the greatest without descendants. Although the fifth prince in the court now has a slight advantage as the direct son, once the second prince has a direct son, and he is the eldest grandson, I am afraid that even the emperor will face him a bit more, and maybe because of this, he will have the ability to compete with the fifth prince.

Yuan Yuyi thought of something, waved her hand, motioned for the girls to come over, lowered her voice and said in their ears: "I heard that the eldest prince is very anxious these days, and he has taken several concubines to the residence. My mother There are no rules at all.”

Saying that, Yuan Yuyi's expression showed a bit of disdain. In her opinion, it is natural for the prince to have intentions for the position of supremacy, but not wanting to show himself in front of the emperor, but thinking about using the grandson who has never seen the shadow to please the emperor is a bit of a putsch.

And how can the direct grandson and the concubine grandson be on a par?

The news that several princes wanted to race horses spread throughout the entire racecourse in the blink of an eye, and attracted everyone around them. In addition to Nangongyue and the others, the fifth prince, the third princess, and the princes and girls from other palaces also came to watch, To add to the fun.

The three princes each led a horse to the starting line, the first prince suddenly stopped, his eyes stopped on the fifth prince not far away, and he invited with a smile: "Fifth prince, why don't you play with us too? How? It's rare to be so lively today."

The fifth prince is only under eleven years old, and he is several years younger than the adult brothers. Naturally, he can't play together on weekdays. However, the emperor now values ​​the fifth prince more and more. The prince supervising the country also made the three adult princes have to regard this young prince as their biggest competitor.

The invitation of the eldest prince also has the meaning of a declaration of war.

The fifth prince smiled slightly and cupped his hands: "Since the eldest brother is so interested, then the younger brother will accompany him." The fifth prince smiled gracefully, his eyes were clear, and he had no desire to win.

The eldest prince glanced contemptuously at the white horse beside the fifth prince. He still had some knowledge of horses. The fifth prince's horse was more than docile and lacking in vigor. The fifth prince is sure to lose!

The three princes were all ready to mount their horses, and when the servant saw this, he aimed the stick in his hand at the gong and drum.

"Boom!"

A sound of gongs and drums sounded in front, and the four princes were all crawling slightly, and their horses galloped. It was just starting, and the difference between each horse seemed to be small.

Nangong Xin looked at the fifth prince for a while, looking a little nervous.

Fu Yunyan deliberately diverted his attention and said, "A Xin, who do you think will win?"

Nangong Xin was hesitant, he didn't speak, Yuan Lingbai's voice suddenly sounded behind them, touched his chin and said, "As far as I'm concerned, it's probably the first prince."

Yuan Yuyi squinted at Yuan Lingbai, and teased, "Second brother, why didn't I know you would be a horse?"

Yuan Lingbai proudly puffed out his chest and said, "Although I can't match horses, I can meet people!" He lowered his voice and said, "The eldest prince looks like a dog is anxious to jump off the wall! "

Yuan Yuyi held her forehead weakly: "Second brother, you are here again!" She endured and endured, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she said to Nangong Yue and the others beside her, "Ayue, Liu Niang, neither of you. I know that since Mrs. Zhang Jinghou came to the mansion the day before yesterday, my second brother's tail is almost up in the sky, boasting every day that he knows people."

Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei looked at each other, and Nangong Yue asked softly, "Mrs. Zhang Jinghou has been to the Princess Mansion?"

Yuan Yuyi nodded: "Mrs. Jian went to apologize to her mother, saying that Marquis Zhang Jing had already fined Jian Yunxuan, and the Hou's mansion really didn't know about that girl, and they always listened to the second room's nephew. I have both civil and military skills, but I don’t want to be ill-mannered...” Yuan Yuyi frowned slightly, when Mrs. Zhang Jinghou came, she deliberately avoided the Xishao room. Although she didn’t see the other side, she listened to what the other side said. In her ears, Mrs. Zhang Jinghou said later, she obviously implicitly blamed the fault on Miss Xi, saying that Miss Xi was disrespectful, had a private life with others, and conceived before marriage or something.

From what she could see, Miss Xi did behave in a disorderly manner, but this was by no means an excuse for Zhang Jinghou's residence and Third Young Master Jian to escape responsibility.

Nangong Yue shook Yuan Yuyi's hand soothingly, meaning that the matter has passed, don't take it to heart.

Yuan Yuyi smiled back, expressing understanding.

"The second prince is ahead!"

At this moment, Fu Yunyan suddenly called out and gave Yuan Lingbai a provocative look.

Yuan Lingbai shrugged nonchalantly, meaning, until the end, we still don't know who wins and who loses.

Nangong Yue and Yuan Yuyi hurriedly looked over, and sure enough, after the four horses ran half a lap, the second prince's dark horse was clearly a head ahead of the others...

The eldest prince gritted his teeth, lowered his body lower, swung his whip, and added another whip to the horse's butt. The horse neighed, and the speed suddenly accelerated, surpassing the second prince like an arrow from a string, with an extremely small amount. The advantage crossed the finish line.

The eldest prince pulled the horse rope, slowed down the speed of the horse, and proudly clasped his fists on the horse's back to the three princes at the back: "Second Emperor, Third Emperor, Fifth Emperor, give up..."

While speaking, he noticed that the expressions of the people around him were a bit wrong. In the next instant, he found the fifth prince's white horse galloping past him. Not only did he show no signs of slowing down, but he ran faster and faster. The fifth prince leaned over and hugged him. The horse's neck has been slightly turned to the left...

Fu Yunyan scrutinized the white horse carefully, seeing that the white horse breathed heavily and was dripping with perspiration, he shuddered in his heart and exclaimed, "This horse is not right!"

As if a drop of water had fallen into the hot oil, the pan exploded all around.

The inner waiters shouted nervously: "Scared the horse!"

"The fifth prince is shocked!"

"Quick! Quickly find the guard!"

"..."

Even the emperor was shocked and hurriedly ordered the guards to save the people.

Everyone else looked at each other in dismay, wondering in their hearts: This is good, why are you shocked?

Fu Yunyan and Yuan Lingbai hurriedly turned over and mounted their horses, and planned to go over to help, but they were one step behind.

The second prince caught his horse's belly, and he had already chased after him, as fast as lightning.

In front, the white horse under the crotch of the fifth prince was frightened for some reason. Suddenly, it ran faster and faster, and rushed towards a group of palace servants. The palace servants were so frightened that they fled in all directions. The white horse made a long neighing sound. While running, he tried to throw the Fifth Prince off his back. The fifth prince could only use all his strength to hold the horse's neck tightly, his body clinging to the horse's back, and being led by the white horse to run around.

The second prince at the back chased after him like a shadow, shouting, "Brother Wu Huang, hold the horse's neck tightly, don't let go!"

The guards near the racecourse also came one after another. They did not dare to shoot the horse with arrows. Even if the horse was shot at such a high speed, there was no guarantee that the fifth prince would be thrown out. The captain of the guards gave an order and instructed the guards to surround the mad white horse.

The white horse was still accelerating, and the strong wind blew against the fifth prince's cheek, which hurt like a knife, and his body was shaken. He gritted his teeth and held it strong, but the hand holding the horse's neck was getting looser and looser...

Directly ahead, two guards rode around to block, and the white horse made a short neigh, trying to rush over.

At this time, the second prince had already caught up with him.

"Jump!"

The second prince made a loud noise, and the fifth prince, who had already endured the limit, almost acted subconsciously, let go of the hands holding the horse's neck, and the whole person was thrown out in an instant.

Everyone around them shrank their pupils, trembling with fear.

At this moment, a figure also flew out, hugged the flying fifth prince, and then the two of them fell heavily to the ground together, rolled out for a long distance, and then stopped.

When the fifth prince was flung away, the white horse rushed past the guards who were blocking the front. The guards were about to draw their bows and shoot the white horse, when a young guard suddenly caught up with the horse and ran close to the white horse. Then, seeing the opportunity, he jumped on the back of the white horse suddenly, leaned close to the white horse, and kept pacifying the mane on its neck.

This guard is obviously someone who understands horses. Under his repeated appeasement, the white horse finally calmed down and the speed slowly slowed down.

While the guards breathed a sigh of relief, the other side was in a mess. It turned out that it was the second prince who had just rescued the fifth prince at a critical moment.

At this moment, the palace servants were already surrounded by the two princes, and even the emperor rushed over, surrounded by everyone, and said with a worried expression, "Second brother, Xiaowu, are you all right?"

The fifth prince raised his pale face from the arms of the second prince, stood up with difficulty, and hurriedly said: "Father, my son is fine." Then he looked at the second prince nervously, "Second prince, you are all right. Bar?"

There was no trace of blood on the face of the second prince, and there was an unbearable pain in his expression. He held the slightly twisted right arm in his left hand, and groaned: "Bengong's arm..."

As early as when the fifth prince was shocked, those ingenious servants had already ordered people to ask for an imperial physician.

After a while, Imperial Physician Zhang hurried over and hurriedly stepped forward to check the second prince's right arm, and then said: "Your Majesty, the second prince's arm should be broken. , and then allow the minister to join the bones for His Highness."

The emperor naturally agreed.

After a lot of fuss, the second prince was carried away like the stars and the moon, and the emperor and the fifth prince hurriedly followed, leaving only the first prince standing in the same place, staring at the back of the emperor and his group. Hands clenched tightly into fists.

Today, he was originally a well-deserved protagonist, but such a thing happened, and he was robbed of the limelight by the second prince!

Even worse is...

The eldest prince's face became gloomy. Today's horse racing was proposed. Will the emperor take his anger on him for this?

The more he thought about it, the more confused the eldest prince became, and he followed quickly. If the father and emperor couldn't see him, would he think that he didn't care about the emperor's younger brother?

At this time, the white horse had already been appeased, and Nangong Yue saw the young guard who appeased the white horse being taught a lesson by the commander, as if blaming him for making his own decisions. Afterwards, the guard led the white horse and retreated dejectedly.

After the hustle and bustle, the racecourse became a little quiet, leaving only the children of the princes and nobles.

The fifth prince was shocked by the horse, and the second prince broke his arm. When such a thing happened, the emperor could no longer be interested in returning to the racecourse, so everyone led their horses back to their respective houses.

After saying goodbye to Yuan Yuyi, Fu Yunyan and the others at the gate of the palace, Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei got on the Zhu Lun cart and gradually moved away from the palace gate...

Recalling the thrilling scene just now, Nangong Yue was still a little scared.

fortunately! fortunately!

Nangong Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and when she looked up, she saw Xiao Fei's thoughtful expression sitting opposite, and asked, "Sister Fei, what's the matter?"

Xiao Fei hesitated for a moment, then said frankly: "Sister-in-law, I think something is wrong with that white horse..."

Nangong Yue was not surprised. As soon as she entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea. Which of the accidents in the palace were really "accidents"?

"Let me hear it."

Xiao Fei rationalized his thoughts and added: "In the "Sangma Chapter", it is said that horse mouth, spring green, summer red, autumn white, and winter black are all ingested by mistake, and they are easily startled, and those who encounter them should avoid them... Today, although it was just the white horse neighing, I glanced at it, its mouth was black, and it is winter, which means that this horse has eaten purple day grass?" The hay was naturally carefully prepared by the palace servants. If someone hadn't moved his hands and feet, how could this good royal horse accidentally eat grass that shouldn't be eaten.

Nangong Yue's face was sinking like water, and she said slowly, "Sister Fei, it's enough that you and I know about this matter, and don't tell anyone."

Xiao Fei nodded meekly. Even if she doesn't understand the world, she knows the intrigue and gunpowder wars in the palace curtain from the history books written in blood. Naturally, these private affairs in the palace cannot be discussed casually with outsiders.

Zhu Lunche drove into the Zhennan Wangfu in silence. After getting out of the car, Xiao Fei went back to Xiayuanyuan, while Nangong Yue went to the outer study and ordered Baihui to call Zhu Xing quickly.

"Prince Prince!" When Zhu Xing saw that Nangong Yue was safe and sound, he was also secretly relieved, and said to himself: This palace is really not a place for people to stay. Picking a horse can also cause shocking things. If the prince is not careful Being hit by a horse, in case, Shi Ziye must cut himself alive...

Although Baihui had already told Zhu Xing about what happened in the palace on the way, Nangongyue said it again in detail, and then told Zhu Xing all the doubts raised by Xiao Fei one by one.

Zhu Xing didn't dare to underestimate him, he clasped his fists solemnly and said, "Prince Prince, this subordinate will order the spies in the palace to investigate."

The spies who were placed in the palace were still very fast. Just after Nangong Yue had dinner, news came back. After Nangong Yue received Baihui's report, she hurried to the front yard.

This matter is very important, and relying on Baihui's message alone, Nangong Yue is still a little worried.

Zhu Xing was waiting in front of the study.

Nangong Yue entered the study, and after sitting down, she asked bluntly, "How is the situation in the palace?"

"The second prince broke his arm, and there is no serious problem. He has already left the palace and returned to the mansion. The queen specially requested a decree to send two imperial physicians who are good at trauma to the second prince's residence. The fifth prince has always sent the second prince to the mansion. Go back to the palace." Zhu Xing briefly talked about the second prince's injury before saying, "As for the white horse, it's already dead."

"Dead?" Nangong Yue remembered that when she left the palace, the white horse was fine, could it be... She thought about it and asked, "Is it the emperor's order?"

"No. The white horse died of a sudden death." Zhu Xing said solemnly, "A little eunuch in the Royal Horse Prison admitted that he did not take good care of his horse, which made the horse fall ill and committed suicide. The emperor was furious and slapped the royal horse. The position of the chief eunuch, all the eunuchs working in the Royal Horse Prison have been sent to the Department of Penalties. The specific situation has not been investigated yet, but I heard that the deputy chief eunuch of the Royal Horse Prison will not be able to reach it. He was tortured and beaten to death...for the time being, only these have been found, and the subordinates are ordered to continue to investigate."
