Allure of a Country Maiden

"Could Concubine Yang be rescued by the eldest prince? Isn't it said that the most dangerous place is the safest place? Could she have gone to Puning Temple with the eldest prince?" Liu's imagination was wide open.

Xiaoer shook her head: "I don't know, why is mother so concerned about these two people?"

"How could I not care? Concubine Yang Guifei had no grievances with us in the past, but she has recently tried to frame our family. Of course I hope to catch such a vicious person as soon as possible, otherwise it would be unsafe to leave her outside!" When the palace heard the eldest prince's slanderous words about their family, she was so frightened that she almost fainted.

Xiao'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. Concubine Yang really wanted to see her family now, and it was too late to hide! She only cares about settling down and living her life now, so she has no time and energy to harm others.

"We blocked their way." Xiaoer explained, remembering Shangguan Xuanyi's words.

"What's blocking the road?" Ms. Liu was puzzled.

"I heard from Brother Shangguan that the eldest prince also wants to ask the emperor for a decree to give me to him as his concubine."

"What?! Fortunately, the emperor has assigned you to the sixth prince." Mrs. Liu was shocked when she heard this. Originally, they were not happy with Xiaoer marrying the sixth prince. Although the sixth prince was a very nice person, his family The situation is so good that my daughter cannot hold her head high after marrying her!

Now after hearing this, she felt lucky! If Xiaoer married the eldest prince, she would not be so miserable if she really fell into the eighteenth level of hell!

"Why does the eldest prince want to marry you as his concubine?" Mrs. Liu knew from other wives that the eldest prince wanted to marry Li Yunning.

"Sister can make money!" Yun'er hit the nail on the head.

Mrs. Liu: "..."

When did marrying a wife depend on her ability to earn money? !

The eldest prince wanted to gain connections as well as make money. Sima Zhao's intentions were visible to all passersby! The emperor is still young!

He is narrow-minded and wants to destroy what he cannot get!

After Ms. Liu figured it out, she shook her head. Fortunately! Fortunately! Xiaoer did not promise to the eldest prince!

Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month

Shangguan Xuanyi had made an appointment with Xiaoer a long time ago to take her out to play on this day.

He came to Shengpinghou Mansion early in the morning and took Xiaoer, Yuner and the three brothers out.

During the Lantern Festival, in addition to lanterns, riddles, fireworks, theater groups, singing and dancing at night, there are also horse racing activities at the Royal Racecourse during the day.

The Minze Dynasty advocated sports, and there were several sports-related events throughout the year, including horse racing, Cuju, dragon boat races, bicycle races, and hunting competitions!

A martial arts competition is held every three years.

The first event of the new year is horse racing.

This horse racing event is specially organized for young men and young ladies in the imperial capital who are over ten years old and under twenty years old.

Xiaoer knew in advance that today was a horse racing event, and she was so excited that she almost couldn't sleep last night.

When they arrived at the horse training ground, Di Shaowei, Shangguan Xuanhao, Shangguan Xuanjun, Li Zhemin, Li Zhewei and others all arrived.

"Why are you so slow? It's about to start!" Di Shaowei has been waiting for them for a long time.

"If it's any later, all the good horses will be picked out!" Shangguan Xuanhao couldn't help but complain.

This competition has individual and team competitions.

Individual competitions are divided into men's and women's teams, while team competitions are mixed.

The horses participating in the competition are all prepared by the Royal Racecourse, and the contestants are required to select their own horses.

Xiaoer rolled her eyes at him: "Isn't this started yet? Why are you so anxious!"

"Do you think everyone really picked the horses at the beginning? Who didn't take a good look at it now and go up and take them away in a while! Wait until it starts and pick the horses slowly all the way. All the good horses have been taken away! Come! I tell you What good horses have you and I spotted?" After saying this, Shangguan Xuanhao wanted to pull Xiaoer forward.

Shangguan Xuanyi glared at him and took Xiaoer's hand first.

"Stingy!" Didn't he pay attention because he didn't treat Xiaoer as an outsider but as a girl? Shangguan Xuanhao followed Xiaoer's previous look and rolled his eyes at Shangguan Xuanyi.

Di Shaowei laughed secretly on the side. He had long been used to it and had learned well.

The stables are far away, but everyone can still see the tall horses inside.

Although you can't look closely, anyone who is familiar with horses can choose a good horse based on its general mental outlook.

"Girl, what do you think of that maroon horse? That horse isn't too tall. It's perfect for riding with your small body." Shangguan Xuanhao pointed to the only horse in a row of black and white horses in the distance. A red horse leads the way.

The horses in this row are not too big, and they seem to be specially prepared for women.

"Girl, it seems to me that you are the shortest among them, and this horse is the best among them for you." Di Shaowei also agreed.

They had already taken a look around the stables just now, and they knew which ones were good and bad.

Xiaoer listened to the two of them, the left one said they were small, the right one said they were the shortest, their faces turned black!

"don't want!"

Shangguan Xuanyi looked at her unusually angry face in a funny way and couldn't help but rub her head.

This girl is unhappy every time she is called short.

"That horse of yours is the best in this row of horses prepared for you women. You may not think that this horse is the shortest in the horse pile just like you, but you can tell by looking at its mental outlook that it is definitely good. Ma, my piercing eyes will never make a mistake!" Shangguan Xuanhao looked like he didn't know what was good, but he was laughing inside.

Xiaoer glared at Shangguan Xuanhao fiercely without blinking! This guy must have done it on purpose! How could he be the shortest among the horses like himself?

"Girl, I'm kind enough to help you choose a horse! Why are you looking at me with eyes that could kill someone! Close your bull's eyes!" Shangguan Xuanhao patted his chest, it was really scary, okay?

"If you dare to say anything bad about my body and appearance, I will silence your mouth and blind you!" Xiaoer said viciously.

"Shangguan Xuanyi cares about your wife, but you dare to commit the following crimes." Shangguan Xuanhao's face turned sharp.

Shangguan Xuanyi pulled Xiaoer over, "Ignore him, I'll help you choose. How about the second horse in the third stable on the left? That horse is the prettiest."

Xiaoer took one look and her temper was gone. The man just asked her to sit aside and watch the game.

"Pfft! Haha, what kind of horse did you pick? It's so weak!" Shangguan Xuanhao counted all the horses and couldn't help laughing when he realized that Shangguan Xuanyi was talking about this horse.

The worst thing in the whole game is whether the horse is good or not! There is only one flower stand. I estimate that after running halfway, the rest of the distance can only be completed by walking.

"I'll choose it myself, you don't need to interfere! Brother Di, do women have to choose the horses in this row of stables?" Xiaoer couldn't help but look at the majestic tall horse on the other side.

After Shangguan Xuanyi heard this and saw the look in Xiaoer's eyes, he couldn't help but pinch the center of his eyebrows, knowing that this girl had a big heart!

"No, you can choose them all, just because women are shorter... Ahem, these horses are smaller and more suitable for women to ride." After receiving Xiaoer's almost murderous look, Di Shaowei changed his mind decisively.
