Abandoned Wife and Marry Only: Daughter of Houmen

Chapter 488

Before the few people entered the racecourse, they saw several young girls galloping towards this side. The young girl in the lead was extremely bright, wearing a red riding suit, wearing black boots, her head was full of braids, and embellished with pearls. A string, galloping from afar, the sun shone behind her, making her figure even more flying, free and easy, bright and eye-catching.

Hui'an and the others were unconsciously attracted by her, but they saw the young girl galloping past them, echoing the words of the maid behind her.

"He must be avoiding me, that's why he didn't come! Humph, look at me, I caught him, I'm going to make him look good!"

"Princess, Your Majesty won't tell you to run around, Your Majesty and Your Majesty will be here soon!"

While shouting, the servant girl galloped her horse to chase after them, and a group of four rode like the wind and swept past Hui'an and the others.There were many carriages from various prefectures parked at the horse farm, and those girls were very good at riding. They were extremely fast when they shuttled through it. Many ladies and ladies panicked for a while.

Seeing the former girl's attire and her maid's words, Hui'an knew that she must be Princess Xinya from the Western Feudal Kingdom. She didn't expect such a hot-tempered personality, so Hui'an shook her head and smiled.

The racecourse in the western suburbs is originally a royal racecourse. Every spring and autumn, Dahui often has Cuju, horse racing and other competitions on the racecourse. From the emperor, civil and military officials, to the children of the noble world, there are many concubines and noble ladies. Played in this game.

The racecourse already had a large viewing platform, but Emperor Xiankang and the officials had not yet arrived, and most of the people who came were young masters, wives and ladies from various prefectures. Because they had not restrained everyone to wait for the emperor, the racecourse was extremely lively. A lot of young boys and girls have already galloped on their horses, and there are also two Cuju competitions kicked off in the west field.

On the other side of the gazebo to the west, there are quite a few men of different ages gathered in ordinary clothes, with no obvious appearance. They mostly wear common clothes and carry medicine boxes on their backs. Seeing that the Niu Jian in a red official robe was also there, those people must have heard that the emperor personally selected officials for the Taipu Temple, and they came from all over the place to participate in the election.

Emperor Xiankang attached great importance to this matter. As early as last year, he published a list to announce it to the world, but there were still not many people who didn't want to come, and it seemed that there were less than a hundred people.After all, there are few knowledgeable people these days, and the general veterinarians are also in a corner. They can eat enough and wear warm clothes. Coming here may not necessarily lead to a good future. For these ordinary people, it is not very attractive.

Hui'an glanced over there, then looked away, and walked towards the viewing platform with Cui's hand. The viewing platform was covered with red velvet carpet and hung with gold painted satin. The highest place was set up for the two emperors and their concubines. On the dragon platform, the bright yellow flag flutters in the wind behind the dragon chair and dragon case.

Watching the grand event today, men and women sat in separate seats, because all the officials arrived after Emperor Xiankang, so there were a lot of vacant seats on the east side, only a few young masters who had never finished playing sat here and there, while the seats on the west side On the stage where the women's relatives watched, there were already many people sitting there, and the brocades and satins were dazzling, and the emerald green was dazzling, and everyone was chatting in one place or another.

Because Hui'an wants to participate in today's selection of officials, if he comes early, he will cause trouble, so today's official visit to the Guanfu is late, and the ladies and ladies on the viewing platform saw them coming, and they really fell silent like a demon. , all eyes staring at Hui An, the heat could almost burn a big hole in Hui An's face.

Hui'an was very calm, with a decent smile, his eyes swept over the crowd, especially nodding to the wives and ladies with whom he usually interacted, which made them feel a little embarrassed.As soon as Hui'an supported Cui to sit down, some people couldn't sit still.

But Ruyang County Lord smiled and said: "I heard that Mrs. Dongting Hou is going to participate in the selection of officials in Taipu Temple today. I don't know if it is true?"

Her words attracted everyone's attention. When Hui An heard the words, she met the smiling eyes of the Ruyang county magistrate, bowed her body with a smile, and replied: "Although I am a woman, the emperor looks at me differently and allows me to participate in the court election." Officials, it is indeed the grace of the emperor."

At the banquet that night, Princess Duanning mentioned Hui An's participation in the selection of officials, Emperor Xiankang didn't say anything more, so everyone didn't know whether it was true or not, but now that Hui An admitted it personally, the eyes that looked at her for a while became more complicated When I got up, some were surprised, some were contemptuous, and many were difficult to understand. Hui'an just pretended not to see it, with a gentle and decent smile.

But Ruyang County Lord was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Hehe, although the court selects officials, the officials of the Taipu Temple can also be regarded as court officials, but there is something different..."

Although the Ruyang County Lord didn't say it out loud, everyone knew that the officials of the Taipu Temple were serving animals, and their work was dirty and humble, and ordinary court officials would not bother to work with them.

The head of Ruyang County is Empress Cui's direct sister and Princess Duanning's aunt. Hui An didn't expect anything good from her mouth, so she just smiled and said: "What's the difference? The same food The salary of the imperial court is for the imperial court to make meritorious service and serve the emperor. Taipu Temple is an important official office of my Dahui, which is in charge of the horse affairs of the world, provides horses for the army, and provides the emperor's ceremonial guard for the emperor's trip. Since the founding of the Dahui Dynasty, the holy ancestor The emperor, the former emperor visited the Taipu Temple every year, and he did not take Ma Zheng seriously. Today, since the year before last, the Taipu Temple has been expanded, and he has visited the Taipu Temple frequently. Every now and then, Mr. Gou is recruited to the Hall of Yangxin to discuss politics, which shows the importance he attaches to the officials of the Taipu Temple. The county lord's uncle is trusted by the emperor, and he is the captain of the emperor's chariot and rider. He is in charge of all the chariots and chariots that the emperor travels. He is the emperor. A close minister, but has the county lord forgotten that the emperor's chariot and rider captain also belonged to the Taipu Temple?"

Ruyang county magistrate heard Hui'an's words, and his face became ugly immediately. She stared at Hui'an coldly, but Hui'an didn't care, just looked at her, her face was as usual, her smile was sweet, the atmosphere was a bit tense, and everyone looked forward to it. Watching the two of them, waiting for a good show.

It's just that the Ruyang county master is not a little girl after all, and she will ignore her like a lion whose fur has exploded after being agitated for a little bit.She was silenced by Hui'an's few words, and she was thinking that Hui'an's participation in the selection of officials was agreed by Emperor Xiankang, and Huian's status was not low, so her complexion changed a few times, but in the end she endured it for a while. Angry, he only smiled and looked at Mrs. Cui, and said in a nonchalant way: "I heard that Mrs. Dongtinghou is very powerful, and I was so scared that Anjibo is still lying on the bed. Today, I saw that he is really eloquent. With my daughter-in-law by my side, my sister won't be bored if I think about it, I can't complain that it's a lot less than last year."
