The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 334 Lishan Trial Horse

Li Heng expected that the guards sent by Guo Ziyi would rescue the prince, so he galloped back with peace of mind, the rest of the princes would be miserable!The deep ditch that Li Ying fell into is just the last obstacle to the small hill. Li Ying galloped back with the green leaves. When the horse turned down, the rest of the princes rushed to this deep ditch. They saw Li Ying fell into the pit Here, they all reacted for a few seconds, and then crossed over one by one.

At this time, Li Yao had already been sent off for failing to cross the obstacle. Li Ju originally wanted to get off the horse to investigate the prince's injury, but when he saw that Li Heng, who had never been outstanding, came out on top, he immediately became angry. After hesitating for a moment, he also flew over the deep ditch, preparing to go up the hill to pick green leaves and chase Li Heng.

Li Ju's biological mother Liu Cairen is very satisfied with her son's choice!Since the prince has failed, how can the son give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show his face in front of Li Longji and the ministers?

Standing behind Chang Xi, Qingying could see clearly that the prince had not gotten up after falling off the horse. Even though there were guards sent by Guo Ziyi to rescue him, but because of the distance, he still couldn't rush there in the first time. You have to run to the field by yourself.

King Ning said worriedly: "No accident will happen to Ying'er!"

Li Longji frowned, staring at the deep ditch in the distance without blinking.

Li Linfu cast a satisfied look at Wu Zhong while no one was paying attention, Wu Zhong understood, and whispered in his ear, "How is it? I said there is a good show to watch, this time the King of Shou will definitely win!"

"Unfortunately, I didn't expect that Li Heng to be so brilliant!" Li Linfu snorted.

Wu Xin came over and said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter! We have a way to deal with him!"

While the three of them were talking in low voices, there was an astonishing change in the field!Li Mao, who was at the head of the horse, reined in his horse and stopped by the deep ditch. He quickly got off his horse and shouted loudly, "Second brother! Second brother! Are you alright!"

Seeing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then all sighed.In fact, everyone is aware of the subtle relationship between the birthday king Li Hao and the crown prince Li Ying!Your Majesty loves Concubine Wu Hui so much, and loves the house as much as Wuxia, the position of Prince of the Eastern Palace is already in jeopardy, and this martial arts competition is related to the status of the princes in the eyes of Li Longji and the ministers, so many princes are preparing for this Lishan test. Great work was done right away!How can it not be surprising that the longevity king Li Mao, who could have been brilliant, gave up the opportunity to rescue an enemy he had hidden?
Li Mao dismounted and yelled several times, only to see Li Ying struggling to crawl out of the deep ditch, Li Mao stretched out a hand to Li Ying, the two brothers held each other tightly, Li Mao gritted his teeth Pulling Li Ying up from the ditch, everyone in the arena was relieved to see the crown prince's head up, and Qing Ying burst into tears.

The disheveled Li Ying who came out of the deep ditch didn't expect that many princes would abandon him because they were eager to win the championship. The one who cared about his life and death was actually the eighteenth brother whom he had been secretly guarding against. He had mixed feelings in his heart.Immediately grabbing Li Mao's hand, tears glistened in his eyes.

"Second brother, are you alright!" Li Mao asked with concern as he helped Li Ying dust off his body.

Li Ying moved his hands and feet, and except for the scratch on his face, there was no damage on his body, so he smiled and said, "I'm sorry for your concern, I'm fine! It's delaying your victory!" He said apologetically.

Li Mao smiled heartily and said nonchalantly, "It's just a horse race!"

Seeing that he took this matter very lightly, Li Ying felt both regret and admiration.The two brothers took a Dawan horse together and turned around leisurely.

"Okay!" With the applause of the crowd, Li Heng had already crossed the red line and won the first place in the horse race. He turned around on his horse full of ambition, and greeted everyone in the field frequently. He got off his horse and stood beside Li Longji's wooden case happily.

King Ning stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, Heng'er's equestrian skills are so superb! It's beyond my expectation!"

"Thank you uncle for your praise!" Li Heng was very excited. He has been ignored for so many years, not to mention Li Longji, the rest of the royal family and ministers have not praised him. Uncle Wang's loyalty is praised, how can I not be happy?It's not in vain to practice hard day and night!Just father?Will father praise me?Li Heng looked to Li Longji with great expectations.

Unexpectedly, Li Longji didn't even look at Li Heng, but stared intently into the distance, with a somewhat displeased expression on his face.

Li Heng's heart felt cold, and his whole body was like falling into an ice cellar. Following the eyes of Li Longji and Wu Changxi, he looked at Li Mao and Li Ying who were riding back on horseback.

"Ying'er is not injured!" Chang Xi first asked about Li Ying's injury.

Li Ying got off the horse and cupped his hands, and said: "Thank you, Concubine Hui, for your concern. My son and minister are fine, but I disturbed Eighteenth Brother's horse race. I'm really sorry!"

Before Chang Xi could speak, Li Mao laughed and said, "Second brother just saw the outside world, it's just a horse race, it doesn't matter if he wins or not! Second brother fell into a deep pit just now, do you want to see the imperial physician for a diagnosis and treatment?"

Li Longji said pleasantly: "Mao'er is right, horse racing is a small matter, but body is a big matter!" While speaking, he glanced at Li Heng intentionally or unintentionally.The sharp eyes frightened Li Heng subconsciously took a step back.

Li Linfu, Wu Zhong and Wu Xin were very angry, they all secretly blamed Li Mao for giving up this great opportunity to show his face, causing them to work for nothing, they really couldn't help it.

After a while, all the participating princes galloped back one by one. Li Ju won No.2, Li Lin came third, and Concubine Hua's son Li Cong came fourth.The first few princes all got off their horses with happy faces, handed the reins to the attendants, and stood under Li Longji's wooden case, ready to accept the reward.

Seeing this, Chang Xi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Heng'er won the first place, what do you reward him for?"

Li Heng looked at Li Longji with expectant eyes, he didn't want any rewards, he just wanted a compliment from Li Longji and an acknowledgment from Li's clan.

Li Longji said slowly: "This horse race aims to examine the equestrian skills of the princes. The prince Li Heng has exquisite skills and won the first place. I am very happy. Ju'er and Lin'er are ranked in the top three, and I am worthy of being my father." According to the teachings of the three princes, three mutton fat jade Ruyi, which is a tribute from the Western Regions, are specially given to the three princes!"

"Promise!" Gao Lishi came off with the gold plate in his hand, and presented the jade-like Ruyi on the plate to the three princes. The three princes who were smiling were slightly embarrassed to see this, and Li Heng felt the worst!My years of hard work went to waste again!Not only did the father not appreciate him, but he gave him such a big embarrassment!

First of all, this reward is too common, there is no novelty at all, this mutton fat white jade Ruyi may be a treasure in the folk, but in Xingqing Palace where there are so many exotic objects, this reward is not worth mentioning at all!Secondly, although the three princes are all ranked in the top three, there is a difference in priority after all. The three rewarded the same thing, obviously Li Longji did not take the result of this horse race seriously.

Seeing that Li Longji gave such a thing to the three princes last time, everyone on the field remained silent, and the atmosphere at the scene was very delicate for a while.

"Liu Cairen is good at teaching children, won't His Majesty reward her with something?" Chang Xi looked at Liu Cairen, who was not outstanding among the concubines in the Six Palaces, and said to Li Longji with a smile.

Liu Cairen's son Li Ju won the second place in the horse race, which is considered a good result. Liu Cairen was so proud that he changed his usual silence and started chatting and laughing with the concubines around him. When the concubines saw this, they also complimented her Come on, she listened one by one, feeling a little flustered.Hearing what Chang Xi said again, he was overjoyed, and slowly got up, looking at Li Longji.

Unexpectedly, Li Longji just nodded slightly after hearing Chang Xi's words, "Look at the rewards!"

Seeing Li Longji's lack of interest, Chang Xi didn't say any more, just nodded slightly, and Liu Cairen sat back in his seat disappointed.

Seeing that Li Longji was bored, Li Linfu secretly guessed in his heart: the horse race must have made him very unhappy, which made him suddenly cold, but the princes performed outstandingly. Affecting the entire competition, why is His Majesty suddenly displeased?Is it because the longevity king Li Mao didn't shine so His Majesty is unhappy?After thinking about it, he suddenly thought of a wonderful way to turn the situation around, and said with a smile, "I feel that there is someone else who won the horse race!"

"Oh?" King Qi was a little surprised. Li Heng's victory was witnessed by everyone. What did Li Linfu mean by saying that?
Concubine Mei also doubted, "According to Prime Minister Li, who won the championship?"

"My minister believes that the winner this time should be Li Mao, the king of longevity!" Li Linfu looked around at everyone with a smile.

"Me?" Li Mao, who had already sat down and was drinking, suddenly looked up and looked at Li Linfu with some suspicion.

King Ning understood and said with a smile: "This king also thinks that Mao'er will win this time!"

Chang Xi smiled and said, "Brother, what do you mean?"

King Ning said solemnly: "My Tang Dynasty pays the most attention to filial piety and brotherhood. Ying'er fell off the horse, and the other princes were afraid that they would be hindered in the competition, so they passed one by one. No one came to help, only Mao'er got off the horse to save himself from falling. The second brother who entered the deep pit, regardless of the result of the horse race, this kind of conduct, should be number one!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone lowered their heads and began to think.King Ning's words are actually very reasonable. This horse race is very important to the future political future of the princes, so everyone is trying their best to fight for it. Even the prince who fell from the horse is not wanted to get off the horse to rescue the prince. They only want to win the championship. , extremely cool!However, the birthday king Li Mao had a delicate relationship with the crown prince Li Ying, but he dismounted to rescue him regardless of gains and losses, and his concern was beyond words. How can such a kind-hearted person not be admired?Even one of the ministers who supported Prince Li Ying secretly felt that although the birthday king Li Mao was the son of Concubine Wu Hui, he was pure in nature and loyal, which was very different from his mother!

Li Linfu stood up at the right time, and said loudly: "What King Ning said is very true! Although Li Mao, the king of longevity, is still young, he understands the meaning of filial piety. His Majesty built the Flower Calyx Xianghui Building that day. "The Book of Songs" "The flower of Tangdi, the calyx does not have a pistil, and all people today are like brothers", so as to show the brotherhood of King Ning, King Qi and other kings and His Majesty! Today, King Shou does not care about his own interests. Dismounting the horse to rescue the prince, his purity of heart and integrity surpassed all the princes present, so I believe that the most rewarding person in this horse race is the birthday king Li Mao!"
