When a man marries a woman, no matter which dynasty, it is important to be well-matched.
Although the imperial capital is large, there are only a few high-ranking families, and everyone who marries is in the same circle.
Therefore, nine times out of ten, there is his future wife standing behind the thin curtain.
Thinking of this, the young men in the school grounds suddenly felt like they were in a rush. They ignored the heat of the dog days and danced with the guys in their hands like a tiger.
Not to be outdone, the children of the civil servants asked their servants to grind ink on paper and prepare to write some embroidered articles.
Xiao Gang was eager to try.
He glanced at Ren Ning, who was standing motionless next to him, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Brother Ren, are you going to dance with the sword in the school field, or are you going to do ink in the pavilion?"
Regardless of whether the clan is eliminated or not, Ren Ning was born in the Taishi Mansion. Under normal circumstances, one should imitate the frail scholars on the covered bridge and splash their ink.
But now he is obviously a military commander, but it is time for him to show off his skills with swords.
Ren Ning was not interested in writing articles. He looked up at the school grounds.
Most of the young masters on the field have family martial arts skills. One by one, they were playing with knives and guns in a very skillful manner, which was dizzying to watch.
From time to time, girls cheer loudly behind the curtain. They are cheering for their brothers.
Ren Ning smiled and said, "You go ahead. I won't go down."
When Xiao Gang heard this, he stopped walking.
"Brother Ren, I heard that Yanjie Fortress often fights with the vicious Xiliang people. You must have met many Xiliang people."
He pointed with his chin at the young men in the school field with great interest, "Do you think these guys have high or low martial arts skills?"
Ren Ning looked at it silently for a while.
"Some of them have worked hard, and some of them are just show-offs. The one I was arguing with you just now is a complete show-off. His horse's steps are unsteady, his eyes are wandering, and his moves are weak. Rather than saying he is feeding the sword, it is better to say he is dancing. "
"Really?" Xiao Gang was dubious, "He is Sun Ye, the third son of Uncle Chengen's Mansion. Everyone says he is very skilled in martial arts."
Cheng Enbo?
Ren Ning was slightly startled.
Generally speaking, imperial titles are only awarded to martial arts families with outstanding military exploits.
But Cheng Enbo was an exception.
It is a unique title that is only awarded to the Queen Mother or the Queen's natal family. That means inheriting the favor.
This kind of title puts women first.
As long as a daughter is born and becomes a queen, the family can ascend to heaven.
Just as he was talking about the emperor and empress, two high-pitched voices sounded one after another.
"Your Majesty has arrived."
"The Queen has arrived, Concubine Qing has arrived."
Ren Ning and the others were not surprised. They quickly packed themselves up and came up to salute the emperor.
The girls on the other side went to see the queen.
Ren Ning took a sneak peek.
The Yellow Emperor wears a bright yellow dragon robe and has a majestic appearance. However, under Goldfinger, the yellow value is only 35.
Even worse than Zuo Fu, the commander of the imperial army beside him.
In addition, in addition to the imperial guards, the emperor was also followed by a group of foreign youths. Some have high noses and blue eyes, some have white hair, and some are black, short and thin.
"What are you going to do, ladies and gentlemen?" the emperor asked pleasantly.
Sun Ye took a step forward and said, "Back to your majesty, I and other martial arts disciples are preparing to compete in martial arts to cheer up the Zhongfu Festival. His Royal Highness the King of Qin also added some bonus."
"Back to Your Majesty, I and other Confucian disciples are preparing to spread poems, chanting that the clouds are falling, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, Your Majesty is the most holy and bright."
Huang Di nodded with satisfaction, "Yun Chui builds a country with force and governs the world with literature. Although the ministers are young, they have not forgotten the heavy burdens on their shoulders. I am very relieved."
He looked back at the foreign youth behind him.
"These are international students from various countries who are studying my writing, language, thoughts and etiquette in the Imperial College. You are similar in age, so let's play together and don't be restrained."
Ren Ning blinked.
In this era, those who can be sent to Yunchui as international students have a high status in their own country. Either a prince or a prince, or at least someone like Yingpan's eldest brother, a young patriarch of some tribe.
Thinking of Yingpan, Ren Ning looked up.
Among the foreign students was a man with a cloudy appearance. There was a faint shadow of the head of the Kailun clan on his face.
what do you say that is?
Ren Ning thought for a while.
Tiele. It means stone in Xiliang language.
The crowd dispersed.
Under the emperor's eyes, the Yun Chui princes were even more energetic. For example, Sun Ye of Uncle Chengen's Mansion didn't care about causing trouble for Xiao Gang anymore, but looked at the group of foreign youths provocatively.
Ren Ning walked over, cupped his hands and said, "Hello Tiele, I'm Ren Ning. I wonder if Yingpan has mentioned me to you?"
Tie Le took a step back in astonishment and looked at Ren Ning up and down, "Of course I heard my little sister mention it. It turned out to be you!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, let's make some gestures."
Ren Ning looked strange, "Are you sure?"
"Forget it." Tie Le waved his hand quickly.
The Kailun people were not very powerful in terms of force. He also learned about Ren Ning's capabilities from the people who came to report the funeral, so how could he dare to provoke him.
Just now I just wanted to use my status as brother-in-law to suppress this future brother-in-law. As a result, when Tie Le looked at Ren Ning's eyes, he knew that this guy would not hold back, and he immediately withered.
"Not bad looking, worthy of Yingpan." Tie Le added dryly.
The two chatted for a while, and then an internal prison guard came over.
"Young Master Ren Ning, your Majesty has summoned you. Please come with the younger one."
Ren Ning smiled apologetically at Tiele and followed the inner prison towards the emperor.
At this time, the emperor was not only accompanied by the queen and Concubine Qing, but also by several girls wearing veils on their faces.
The girls' broad cloud sleeves were decorated with phoenixes in gold threads.
"Ren Ning has met Your Majesty, the Queen, Concubine Qing, and all the princesses."
"Get back on your feet." Seeing that he was generous and calm, the emperor nodded with satisfaction.
"He is worthy of being the security commander selected by Yanjie Fortress. He is already very impressive at a young age and has the demeanor of a general. Unlike the prince of Zhongyong's Mansion..."
cough.
"Your Majesty," the queen next to her coughed, "It's rare to go out to the palace to play, so you should be happy. Don't mention those annoying people and things."
She pointed to the school field, "Watching the competition on the field is really interesting."
"Oh? Whose child is competing in martial arts?" The emperor's eyes turned to the center of the school field.
To the left of the emperor sat the stunningly beautiful Concubine Qing.
She ignored what was happening on the school grounds, but smiled and waved to Ren Ning, "Master Ren has been in the fortress for four years, but have you ever seen my father? Is he in good health?"
Monk Ren Ning Zhanger was confused and said honestly: "There are nearly 200,000 people stationed in the fortress. I wonder what the name of the imperial concubine's father is?"
Concubine Qing raised her chin proudly and said, "My surname is Huo, and my father is the general guarding the Yancheng Fortress."
Ren Ning was taken aback and quickly bowed respectfully again.
"Back to my dear, General Huo has a lot of things to do every day. Ren Ning is just a small personal guard in the fortress. He usually trains at the station and has never met the general."
He paused.
"However, all the affairs of the fortress have always been in order. At the turn of autumn and winter last year, under the command of the general, the fortress army took the initiative to attack and sweep away the invading enemies in Xiliang. Therefore, Ren Ning feels that everything should be fine with the general."
Concubine Qing was overjoyed, "That's good, that's good. Reward!"
The maid behind her brought out some jewelry. One of the pearls was bigger than an egg.
"I have a lot of jewelry on hand. I heard that Mr. Ren is not married yet. If you like any girl in the future, feel free to send her to please her."
Ren Ning wiped his sweat silently, "Thank you, empress."
This reward may not be too much.
Not to mention anything else, just that pearl, which is bigger than an egg, is worth a fortune, definitely more than tens of thousands of taels. Relatively speaking, the three to five hundred kilograms of ice awarded by King Qin is simply not worth mentioning.
He subconsciously glanced at the beautiful woman in front of him with his golden finger.
It's a bright green.
Ren Ning was a little confused for a moment.
