The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 247 Horse Racing
Somewhere in the harem, a young maid in Tsing Yi was walking towards the outer courtyard extremely fast with her head down.When she approached the door, the speed was obviously a little faster.

"stop!"

The little maid just breathed a sigh of relief when she stepped out of the courtyard door, when she suddenly heard someone behind her stop her, she panicked and ran forward in a hurry, but the two guards behind her quickly caught up.

"The Empress has an order that no one in the courtyard is allowed to leave, and go back immediately!"

The guard stood in front of the little maid indifferently, forcing her to back away.

"The Empress only asked the princess to take care of the baby, she didn't stop us from leaving the palace!"

The spear tied with red tassels emitted a cold light, and the little maid trembled a little with fright, but she still couldn't help arguing fiercely with the two guards.

However, the guard standing beside him not only didn't give way because of her words, but instead approached her a little bit with the spear in his hand.

The little maid was forced to retreat into the courtyard, knowing that she could not go out, a flash of anxiety flashed in her eyes, so she had to return in a hurry.

"What did the princess say?"

It was cold outside, Xiao Ying half leaned on the bed, and saw that the little maid she had sent had returned.Immediately handed the candied fruit in his hand to the maid beside him, and looked up at the person who came.

"Ma'am, the empress has arranged guards outside the courtyard, and no one is allowed to leave. The message you sent your slaves to deliver has not been sent to Princess Nanxiang."

As soon as the little maid heard Xiao Ying's voice, she hurriedly knelt down, her face full of guilt.

Hearing this, Xiao Ying's complexion suddenly turned pale, and she could vaguely see the anger inside.

On that day, Xiao Ruan was bumped into by Zhao Yan after Zhao Lingyi taught her a lesson. Because Zhao Yan only had Xiao Ruan in her eyes, she got angry and hurt internally, and almost hurt the child in her belly, but Zhao Yan didn't give any comfort.

Yesterday she learned from Zhao Lingyi that the emperor held a horse race in order to let Duanmu Yao and Duanmuhao have fun in the Southern Jin Dynasty. At that time, all the family members of officials above rank five in Beijing will participate.

Because of Xiao Ruan, her relationship with Zhao Yan has become like walking on eggshells.Although she was still pregnant with a child, those servants must have already seen that she had fallen out of favor with Zhao Yan.

He fully thought that Zhao Yan would bring himself to participate in this horse race, but when the queen visited her just now, he asked her to take good care of her body because of her inconvenience, and refused to allow her to go.

Such an opportunity to appear beside Zhao Yan, she naturally refused to give up easily.

Xiao Ying was anxious and dissatisfied, but she couldn't show it in front of the queen. In order to participate in the horse race three days later, she immediately thought of asking Zhao Lingyi to intercede for her.

After the queen left, someone immediately came to report that there were a few more guards outside the courtyard.Xiao Ying faintly felt something was wrong in her heart, she didn't believe that she was actually under house arrest until she knew that the little maid she had sent out could not leave.

Clenching her palms tightly, Xiao Ying felt extremely resentful in her heart, as if holding something in her chest, she couldn't get up or down.

"Ma'am, have you forgotten the imperial doctor's advice? The little prince is about to be born, so don't get angry. The empress made this arrangement for the sake of the little prince's safety..."

The little servant girl saw that her expression was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her.

Perhaps it was the words "Xiaoshizi" that touched Xiao Ying, her expression froze, and she suddenly took a deep breath.

"Yes, you are right, this princess cannot be angry."

Lin Tianqi said that she couldn't get angry easily, otherwise the child in her belly would be lost, so she pressed her hand on her belly, Xiao Ying looked at her growing belly, and murmured in her mouth.

As long as she gives birth to a child, she will definitely be more valuable than the mother, and now she can bear it for a few more days.

Three days later, the weather was fine, and the emperor opened the racecourse in order to have fun with Princess Beijiang and the prince. More than half of the ministers in the court participated in the race.

This competition is divided into two groups, one is the men's group dominated by Duanmu Hao and Prince Edward, and the other is the women's group dominated by Duanmu Yao and Zhao Lingyi.

"Ruan Ruan, do you see who among the men can win the first prize?"

Lu Heng was dressed in a bunt, with piercing eyes looking at the man riding a horse into the arena, his face full of excitement.

Following her gaze towards the entrance of the racecourse, the first thing Xiao Ruan saw was Huo Xun in military uniform.

Huo Xun sat down and rode a group of maroon BMWs. Seen from a distance, the man was imposing, with a vigorous figure, which was very attractive.

On the left and right sides of him are the prince and Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan was holding the rein, and was talking to Duan Muhao on the other side.

Duanmuhao is usually dressed in white clothes as a handsome young man, or in a flamboyant and coquettish manner, but today he is wearing military uniforms that are convenient for riding and shooting like everyone else. The appearance of his vigorous and handsome figure attracted all the women in the stands The exclamation of admiration.

"Today's horse race is for Prince and Princess Beijiang. I'm afraid this Kui will be let out."

Xiao Ruan thanked everyone on the field for a while, and was thinking about the person who won the first prize in the horse race last year. Suddenly, she felt a hot gaze looking at her. The person turned out to be Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan was holding the rein in his hand, and his waist was straight. Despite such a long distance, Xiao Ruan could still feel the indescribable determination hidden in the eyes of the other party staring at him.

Because of Zhao Yan's gaze, Xiao Ruan unconsciously remembered what this man had threatened her before, and immediately fell into deep thought.

"That's not necessarily true. If the prince of Northern Xinjiang is an idiot, why should we hand over the leader?"

At this moment, Lu Heng's indifferent voice came.Xiao Ruan turned her head and saw her eyes glued to a yellow figure at the front of the racecourse, she understood it instantly.

"There is some truth in what you said. Compared with our prince, the prince of the northern border country is naturally one on the ground and one on the sky. No matter what, he can't compare."

Lu Heng didn't hear the teasing in Xiao Ruan's words, and looked at the prince in the distance, with a proud expression on his face, as if he had seen the prince win the first prize in the competition.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruan couldn't help but laugh.

Although the crown prince is superb in riding skills, Duanmuhao is not an idiot.

Moreover, she heard that even women in the North Jiang Kingdom are good at riding and shooting. As a member of the royal family, Empress Duanmu's skill cannot be said to be the best in the world, but logically speaking, it is definitely not too bad.

It can be seen that today's horse racing is bound to be extremely fierce.

While the two were talking like this, a salute suddenly sounded in the distance. The emperor stood at the head of the stands and announced the rules of the race to everyone on the racecourse, and another cannon fired.Dozens of men at the entrance shot away like flying arrows.

The rules of horse racing are very simple, judged by the emperor and all the officials in the stands, after the start of the race, as long as everyone can run ten laps in the racecourse in the shortest time, they will be considered winners, and the top three fastest will be Get rewards issued by the emperor himself.

The atmosphere on the racecourse was extremely warm, and the cheers and cheers of the owner resounded endlessly in Xiao Ruan's ears.

At the beginning, dozens of horses were running neck and neck, and it was hard to see which one was more durable. However, after only a few minutes, some people fell behind and couldn't catch up, and finally chose to give up voluntarily.

After that, it was as if they were infected, one after another the horses showed signs of decay, only the horses of Huo Xun, Zhao Yan, Lu Hanrui and the Prince.

Xiao Ruan counted roughly, and found that there were only ten people left.

"Hurry up! You must surpass him. If you dare to lose in his hands, I will ignore you in the future!
The atmosphere in the stands was extremely tense, and Lu Heng couldn't help but make an anxious voice at the prince in the audience.

The finish line was right in front of us, and the first few horses were Prince Edward, Zhao Yan and Duan Muhao.

The three of them rode side by side, and it was hard to tell who was one step ahead, but when the red silk representing the leader, the prince and Zhao Yan's horses bumped into each other for some reason, so that Duan Muhao easily dodged the two of them. He chased after him and got the big red silk flower symbolizing the helmet in one fell swoop.

Duanmuhao's appearance alone has attracted the attention of almost half of the women in the stands, and now he won the top prize, which caused another burst of screams.

Lu Heng was full of expectations for the prince, but he didn't expect the prince to miss, and immediately put all the grievances on Zhao Yan.He opened his mouth and cursed, saw Xiao Ruan shaking his head amusedly, raised his eyes and saw Huo Xun in the crowd.

Huo Xun, as the great general protecting the country, not only failed to steal the limelight from everyone today, but also lost early.At this time, he was standing with Lu Hanrui and others not knowing what to say.

But at this moment, the feeling of being stared at appeared again, and subconsciously turned her head, Xiao Ruan noticed that the person staring at her this time turned out to be Huo Yixuan not far away.

It seems that she didn't expect Xiao Ruan to raise her head suddenly, Huo Yixuan gave Xiao Ruan a hard look and then turned her head back, as if it was Xiao Ruan who was peeking at others, not her Huo Yixuan.

Knowing that Huo Yixuan didn't like her, Xiao Ruan slowly lowered her eyelids with a thought.

"Ruan Ruan, just wait, I will definitely win the top prize today and win glory for my Dajin!"

Lu Heng signed up to participate in today's women's competition, probably because the prince did not win the championship. When he was about to go to the racecourse, his tone was filled with righteous indignation.

Lu Heng doesn't like female celebrities, but rather likes to ride and hunt, and his riding skills are second to none among these ladies in Dajin.

Hearing her rhetoric, Xiao Ruan was naturally not willing to give her a blow, and immediately expressed his belief that Lu Heng would win the championship, and watched her leave.

The women's competition was quite casual and interesting. All the women in colorful clothes rode on horseback, adding a touch of heroism for no reason, which was pleasing to the eye.

But in Xiao Ruan's view, the most eye-catching ones are only Lu Heng and Duan Muyao.

The two of them had a heroic spirit, their clothes were all red, and their heads held high made it hard to turn their eyes away.

Under the bright sunlight, the two women seemed to feel something in their hearts. They looked at each other from a distance, and then turned their heads to one side.
