Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 374 Archery
In the early morning, Jiang Changning woke up from his sleep, and Emperor Xuanzhi had already gone to court.

Call someone in to help her dress and freshen up. After breakfast, she was about to go for a walk in the garden when Xiao Yuer came, "Mother, mother."

"Little girl, did your husband ask for leave again today?" Jiang Changning asked with a straight face.

"Mother, that's not important."

Jiang Changning snorted coldly, "Then what's important?"

"Queen, Xijiang sent a batch of fine horses, and I want a foal." Xiao Yuer blinked and acted cute to her mother.

"Go to your royal father." Jiang Changning said.

Xiao Yuer pouted, "Royal father said that I should pick the foal only if the queen mother agrees."

"Why do you suddenly want a pony?" Jiang Changning asked.

"Queen, think about it, riding on a horse, galloping the horse, the horse is like the wind, with its hooves flying in the air, its mane flying, and its momentum is majestic."

"You and Miss Xia often go to the racecourse these days, don't you?" Jiang Changning asked her sideways.

Xiao Yuer giggled, hugging Jiang Changning's arm, "Queen, good queen, the best queen."

"Stop shaking, you want to shake me apart." Jiang Changning said angrily.

"Queen mother, can you go to the emperor father?" Xiao Yu'er eagerly wanted to get her little pony.

"Your father is discussing with the minister, you can't disturb him for such a trivial matter, that's all right, you go to the study as soon as possible, I will tell your father about this matter later."

"What if a good horse is picked away?"

Jiang Changning poked her hard on the forehead, "Your Majesty hasn't picked the good horse sent by Xijiang, who dares to choose first?"

Being exposed, Xiao Yuer stuck out his tongue playfully, and ran out quickly, "I'm going to the study."

"Mao girl." Jiang Changning cursed with a smile.

Jiang Changning promised her daughter, and no one broke her promise. When Emperor Xuanzhi came over for dinner, she told him about it.

Emperor Xuanzhi smiled and asked, "Does Ning Ning want to enjoy the pleasure of riding a galloping horse?"

"When are you going?" Jiang Changning has learned how to ride a horse, and she likes to gallop freely.

"I'll make arrangements, just in the next few days."

"Why don't you take the brothers and sisters of the Xia family and the children from various prefectures along with you?"

"We're going to hold a horse race and gather people together, so you can take a closer look and choose a suitable concubine." Emperor Xuanzhi laughed.

"The drought issue has been resolved?" Jiang Changning asked.

"The brat did a good job."

"He did a good job, you should praise him face to face, don't be too strict with him, he is your son."

Emperor Xuanzhi said earnestly: "Verbal praise will make him arrogant. I entrust him with a heavy responsibility, which is a compliment to him."

"This is a good way to let the horse run and save grass." Jiang Changning laughed jokingly.

"My son is easy to use." Emperor Xuanzhi smiled.

A few days later, the Jockey Club was held at the Royal Racecourse on the outskirts of Beijing.

The three children took a carriage, and Emperor Xuanzhi and Jiang Changning took a carriage.

"Will I be able to appreciate His Majesty's arrow skills in a while?"

"I haven't neglected to exercise, just wait and see." Emperor Xuanzhi made a gesture of drawing a bow and shooting an arrow.

He is busy with government affairs, and he actually hasn't shot archery for some days.

Jiang Changning pursed his lips and smiled, "The concubine will definitely look good."

They chatted and laughed all the way to the racecourse. Today, Prince Changshan and Duke Qin Zhaoxi are in charge of safety.

It was only when Qin Zhaoxi was promoted that Jiang Changning found out that this man also turned his back on the dark at a critical moment.

Emperor Xuanzhi seemed to have more trust in him than in King Yu.

The two led the steward of the racecourse and other small officials to meet the emperor and empress.

Emperor Xuanzhi ordered: "Bring the horse here and let my little princess choose one she likes."

Of all the people present, only Jiang Changning and Xiao Yuer had no horses.

The groom brought six horses over, and Xiao Yu'er immediately fell in love with the maroon foal.

Jiang Changning liked the big white horse better, "I want this one."

"It's too tall, and it will take a lot of effort for you to drive it. That one is better." Emperor Xuanzhi pointed to a brown mare that was a little shorter.

"No, I just like this big white horse." Jiang Changning wanted to go over to touch the horse, but was grabbed by Emperor Xuanzhi.

"Your Majesty, if this horse can be brought here for us to choose, it means that it is a very docile horse." Jiang Changning took Emperor Xuanzhi to the horse together, and stretched out his hand to pet it, "You see, it is very obedient."

After the horse was selected, Jiang Changning took the girls to change their riding clothes.

Xia Xueer came in riding clothes, besides her, only the two generals were also wearing riding clothes, and the other girls were all wearing ordinary clothes.

When the archery targets were set and Emperor Xuanzhi drew his bow and nocked his arrows, Jiang Changning led the girls who had changed into riding outfits.

Emperor Xuan Zhi glanced at her. She was wearing a royal blue riding outfit, neat and tidy, with a riding whip in her hand, and she was heroic, and she suppressed all the beauties around her.

Stand out from the crowd!

Even her precious little princess is three points inferior to her queen mother.

Seeing Jiang Changning like this, Qin Zhaoxi's eyes flashed with astonishment. Years favor beauties, and they are especially tolerant to her.

Nearly [-] years old, but still as fresh and tender as a peach, ruddy and fragrant.

Emperor Xuanzhi kept aiming, he felt inexplicably nervous, took a deep breath, collected himself, let go of his hand, and the arrow shot out.

The arrow stabbed firmly on the bullseye, Jiang Changning was all smiles, Xiao Yuer cheered, "Father is so powerful!"

Emperor Xuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, his archery skills did not regress, and then he shot two more arrows, both of which hit the bull's-eye, and everyone cheered.

Emperor Xuanzhi looked at Jiang Changning with expectation.

Jiang Changning walked over as he wished, and praised: "Your Majesty's archery skills are really superb."

The corners of Emperor Xuanzhi's lips rose, and he smiled proudly and complacently.

"This bow is quite big." Jiang Changning stretched out his hand to measure it.

Emperor Xuanzhi suddenly had bad intentions, picked up the bow and handed it to her, "I will teach you archery."

"Okay." Jiang Changning was not wary that he was going to tease her, and reached out to catch it. As soon as the bow touched her hand, it fell down, causing her to bend down, "It's so heavy."

Emperor Xuanzhi laughed, Xiaoqian was the most considerate, and hurried over, "Queen Mother, I'll help you get it."

"Xiaoqian is still the most obedient." Jiang Changning said.

Xiao Bai and Xiao Yuer love to play tricks, and now it seems that they are following their father.

"Queen, I'm good too." Xiao Yu'er loves to fight for favor.

"You are the most naughty." Jiang Changning stretched out his finger and poked her on the forehead.

Xiao Yuer hugged her father's arm instead, "Father, my daughter wants to learn archery."

"If you want to learn, you have to learn to the end, don't give up halfway." Jiang Changning warned her.

Just as Emperor Xuanzhi was about to say something, Jiang Changning glared at him, so he could only give Xiao Yuer a look of helplessness.

Xiao Yuer immediately promised, "I will definitely study hard and never give up halfway."

"Okay, if you want to learn, my father will teach you, but this bow is not suitable for you, I will teach you after my father asks you to make a bow for you."

"Thank you, Father." Xiao Yu'er smiled with crooked eyebrows.
