In the Royal Horse Garden, on the vast grassland, the prince has already arranged many competitions.
Next to it, there was a seven-story tower. All the royal ladies gathered on the tower to watch the handsome man in the capital.
Having a beautiful woman watching an event is something that inflates a man's desire for expression.
What's more, many people have heard the news that Princess Zhaoyang is choosing a son-in-law. As a result, all the princes and grandsons in the capital are like chicken blood. Whenever they play, they all perform hard and strive to be their best. Show your side.
"Princess……"
On the third floor, as Princess Zhaoyang came, all the maids and eunuchs moved away, except for one tall woman, whose graceful figure and graceful bearing could not be concealed even in her maid makeup, still stood leaning on the railing.
She just stood there quietly without any movement, but it was as if she had the world under her feet.
Princess Zhaoyang's eyes were a little dazed and reverent, and she stood beside her obediently.
The woman turned her head and glanced at her.
What a pair of beautiful eyes are those? Even every eyelash looks like it has been perfectly groomed, with no trace of dirt or blemishes visible.
Beautiful, intellectual, as if he can see into people's souls.
Just from these eyes, you can know that this is a woman of unparalleled elegance.
It's a pity that from that eyelid down, covered with a translucent veil, the whole picture cannot be seen.
Princess Zhaoyang then smiled and said: "The eldest brother said that a hunting event will be held in an hour and asked me to help you prepare your outfit."
The woman also smiled, and suddenly it was like a spring breeze.
"But, I'm not very good at riding horses. I'm afraid I'll bring you trouble. Why don't you just go and have fun? I won't go."
The voice is also gentle and light, like the song of a nightingale.
Princess Zhaoyang took her arm and shook it, "No, it's already been agreed. If I don't accompany you out, I don't want to agree to it, the eldest brother! If you don't go, I won't go either."
Seeing the woman, she shook her head helplessly, indicating her acquiescence. Princess Zhaoyang became happy, hugged the woman's arm, and accompanied her to watch the competition below.
"Qingran, what do you think of that person?"
The woman suddenly gestured to a young man riding a horse and shooting at a target in the distance.
Princess Zhaoyang pouted: "The son of the Minister of Rites often flatters the eldest brother, but he stutters when he speaks. It's annoying to see him."
The woman remained silent. After a while, she pointed at the young man facing off in the ring and asked, "What about this one?"
Princess Zhaoyang glanced at it and took the initiative to ignore the tall and rough opponent. She thought for a while and said:
"He seems to be some sort of young master from the General's Mansion. I've seen him before. He's a young talent... Oh, you really want to find a son-in-law for me.
It's not as promised, I'm just out for fun today, if you keep doing this I won't pay attention to you. "
Faced with Princess Zhaoyang's refusal to go on a blind date, the woman only said lightly: "You are already over eighteen."
Princess Zhaoyang felt guilty and quickly resorted to coquettishness.
The woman had nothing to do with her, and sighed: "When men get married, they get married, and when women get married, do you think you can just play like this for the rest of your life?"
Tell me, what kind of man can catch your eye? "
Princess Zhaoyang knew she couldn't hide, so she thought about it and smiled: "The man I like only needs to meet three things."
The woman looked at her, waiting for her to speak.
“First, he must be handsome.
The man I like must be one of the most beautiful men in the world. If this is not the case, even if he comes from a prominent family, is richer than Shi Chong, and has just passed Zijian, he will not be able to catch my eye. "
When the palace attendants heard what Princess Zhaoyang said, they couldn't help but smile.
Everyone has a love for beauty, but if they dare to speak it out in public so boldly and without shyness, there are probably not many people besides the princess.
"Second... he must have great ambitions, a good plan, the opportunity to contain the universe, and the ambition to swallow up the world!"
Having said this, Princess Zhaoyang smiled playfully and glanced at the woman, as if she was afraid that she would scold her.
But the woman didn't, she just stared at her: "What else?"
"Also, he must be better than me. He must be better than me in all aspects. Otherwise, I'm afraid that he won't be able to stand upright in front of me. What's the point of marrying a husband like that?"
Princess Zhaoyang said matter-of-factly.
She had seen several of her uncles, and they were not manly at all in front of her aunts. They were definitely not the men she wanted.
The beautiful woman stared at her for a while, then burst out laughing, "I'm afraid the man you talk about doesn't exist at all. I think you didn't think seriously at all, you just used such words to block my mouth."
Seeing the woman smile, Princess Zhaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said flatteringly: "I really think so, I didn't lie to you at all.
Well, there are too many people here today, and it’s hard to choose between them.
Why don't you wait until today and return to the palace? How about you call in those who meet the requirements and let me select them one by one in person? It's more convenient than this. "
"This is what you said, don't go back on your word when the time comes..."
"No, no."
…
The prince orally ordered that the top three in each competition can accompany the princes and princesses to the northwest mountains and forests to hunt together at the right time.
Accompanying the princes to hunt is nothing. What is rare is that it is a great honor to be able to accompany Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang to hunt.
When the time comes, if you show off your skills in front of Her Highness the Princess, you might be able to win her favor and become her bed-mate and son-in-law. Then your life will be different from now on!
Therefore, those who had won the prize in the previous small test were gearing up and secretly excited.
Those who are not qualified to play with the princess can only feel sorry for themselves secretly, and then wait outside the guarding range of the Royal Guards, waiting for Her Royal Highness and others to return from hunting.
…
After Jia Lian said goodbye to Feng Ziying and others, he returned to his duty area to patrol. He was not at all curious about what happened in the garden, and had no intention of going to the prince's presence to show his courtesy.
Although the prince is the crown prince and the future boss.
However, according to Jia Lian, the current boss is in relatively good health and should be able to run the family for a long time. There is no need to risk the emperor's suspicion to please the prince.
Of course, you can't offend him.
In fact, there is nothing to patrol. Not to mention that the Imperial Guards inside guard the Royal Horse Garden, and there is no one else around the Royal Garden except the tenants of the Imperial Manor.
Those tenants knew that there was a serious situation today and did not even dare to go out. In the entire area, except for the nobles who were active in the center, there were only soldiers outside, and no other living person could be seen.
Jia Lian also felt that he had nothing to do, so he simply made tea in the shade of the forest to pass the time.
When the commander Xie Jun saw this, he came over to have tea and talk to the boss to relieve his boredom.
Suddenly they heard the rapid sound of horse hooves on the mountain road to the north. Both Jia and Lian looked over and saw a beautifully decorated horse, carrying a shaky masked beauty, galloping crazily towards the foot of the mountain.
"who!!"
The guards, who were bored at first, immediately formed a formation and stood in the middle, trying to stop the intruder.
Jia Lian could tell at a glance that this person should be someone close to Princess Zhaoyang, and the horse was obviously out of control.
If the soldiers were allowed to stop him, the man on horseback would suffer a lot if he suddenly fell off, and his life might be in danger.
So he shouted: "Get out of the way!"
The soldiers and others were also worried that they would not be able to stop the galloping horse. After hearing this, they made way for the horse to go down the mountain road.
"Sir, what should I do? Could she be an escaped assassin..."
Jia Lian didn't understand Juan's words. Is there such a weak and weak assassin? Besides, we’ll find out if the assassin is captured.
"I'll catch up and take a look. You stay here and see what's going on behind!"
After Jia Lian finished speaking, he untied his white horse by the tree, turned over and hurried down the mountain.
Under Jia Lian's pursuit, he soon saw a man and a horse running feebly.
At this time, Jia Lian was naturally sure that the woman was not running away, but was unable to control the horse beneath her. She could only lower herself down and tightly hold on to the horse's reins, teetering several times, looking both pitiful and beautiful.
Maybe she heard the sound of Jia Lian chasing after her, so she looked back, but said nothing.
"Give me your hand..."
The road here was difficult to walk, so Jia Lian managed to get the horses to stand side by side and asked the beauty to give him her hand so that he could use his strength to pull her onto his horse to prevent her from getting hurt.
Unfortunately, the beauty obviously couldn't understand what he meant, and her body was very tense, trying not to fall down.
Jia Lian stretched out his hands twice to no avail. He saw that the mountain road ahead was about to end, with creeks and farmland at the bottom. If he continued, the beauty would inevitably fall off his horse.
Jia Lian was heartbroken, and relying on his skill, when the horse was approaching for the third time, he suddenly abandoned his white horse and jumped over...
Kankan was hanging on the opponent's horse, but he didn't wait for him to hug the beauty tightly and help her control the runaway horse as planned.
The horse seemed to be overdrawn and could not bear the sudden weight placed on it. When its legs bent, it fell straight forward.
"Yeah~~!"
The beauty finally let out her first exclamation.
…
