Outside the dragon chariot, many officials bowed their heads and stood quietly. Inside the dragon chariot, the eldest princess had taken off her shoes, revealing her flawless white feet.
The flying carpet seemed to have spirituality, wrapping around the eldest princess's feet as soon as she stepped into the dragon chariot.
The flying carpet wrapped the eldest princess's feet, but it did not hinder her movements.
I saw the eldest princess walking to the deepest part of the dragon chariot without any hindrance. Every time she took a step, the flying carpet would rise a foot above her feet. It felt like the eldest princess was growing lotus flowers every step of the way.
This magical scene was also secretly watched by the officials. While they were impressed by the eldest princess's perfect feet, they were also shocked by the wonder of the flying carpet.
The eldest princess walked to the seat deep in the dragon chariot, turned around and sat down. There was no need for the eldest princess to turn her head to look. The flying carpet had already wrapped her body behind her, causing her body to fall gently on the cushions of the seat.
The eldest princess felt something magical. From the few steps she had just taken, she could clearly feel that the flying carpet could not bear her weight and could not completely lift her.
But this alone was enough. Even Liu Xinyan and the weapon refiner who transformed it did not expect that this wonderful idea would have such an effect.
The eldest princess was also surprised by the comfort coming from her body. The flying carpet and the cushioned seats were even more comfortable than the softness in her palace.
The eldest princess was completely relaxed at this time, and she lay lazily on the flying carpet. It was as if the eldest princess was being hugged tenderly from behind, so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.
The culture of the Tang Dynasty at this time was relatively open and tolerant. Even if officials "accidentally" saw the eldest princess's feet like just now, it was not a capital crime.
It was precisely because of the shocking glimpse before that the officials outside the dragon chariot were itching like a cat scratching their hearts. When they saw that the inside of the dragon chariot had become quiet, they could no longer help but peek inside.
I saw the eldest princess in the dragon chariot with her eyes squinting as if they were open, with a trace of satisfaction and confusion in her eyes. The pale golden flying carpet half wrapped the eldest princess's body. From the official's point of view, she could just see a seductive line. The golden curves are exactly the graceful figure of the eldest princess.
The flying carpet fluttered in the wind behind the eldest princess, turning the eldest princess into a flower fairy in a golden lotus.
The officials' eyes were filled with fascination and shock. Not to mention whether the subsequent test drive would go smoothly, just the scene in front of them convinced everyone that today's event was half successful.
Wang Ze, who was among the officials, had gloomy eyes and secretly said something was wrong.
On the other side, Wang Shangshu began to hesitate. If Liu Xinyan gained the appreciation of the eldest princess today, why not take the opportunity to help Liu Xinyan, so that it would be a good choice to catch up with the eldest princess.
Everyone present had their own secrets, while Liu Xinyan and Li Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The eldest princess rested in the dragon chariot for a long time, and came back to her senses with some satisfaction. When she looked at Liu Xinyan again, she already had some appreciation.
"Yes, I am very satisfied. Master Sun has done a good job this time, and you will be rewarded!" The eldest princess's voice came from the dragon chariot.
Upon hearing this, Sun Shangshu hurriedly saluted, his voice full of joy.
The eldest princess then said to Liu Xinyan: "You also have merit in this mission, and I will reward you as well!"
Liu Xinyan saluted and thanked him.
Wang Ze on the side was a little anxious when he heard this, and kept looking at Wang Shangshu, but at this time Wang Shangshu started to pretend to be deaf and dumb, ignoring Wang Ze at all.
Wang Ze was so anxious that he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to award rewards based on merit before the trial ride has even begun!"
The eldest princess's eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice was a little cold.
"Oh? What's wrong?"
Wang Ze immediately heard a hint of displeasure in the eldest princess's words, and immediately regretted his abruptness.
The eldest princess is different from ordinary princes. Not only is she more powerful, but most importantly, she is more domineering and arbitrary than ordinary princes.
When Wang Ze thought of this, the regret in his heart turned into a hint of fear.
Wang Shangshu sighed secretly in his heart. This kid Wang Ze is eager for quick success. If he comes forward at this time, isn't he looking for death?
But as
Sir, Wang Shangshu could not ignore the situation and immediately came out and said: "Your Highness, Princess, please calm down. Wang Ze is a low-ranking subordinate. He was abrupt and lost his etiquette. Your Highness please punish him."
The eldest princess waved her hand. She had long been accustomed to the intrigues among the officials below. It was normal for Wang Ze to feel jealous at this time.
With Wang Shangshu's help, the eldest princess stopped pursuing Wang Ze's rudeness and said, "Since you have such thoughts, I think everyone will have such thoughts to some extent."
"The reward will be given after the test ride."
After receiving the instructions from the eldest princess, the servants and guards below began to get busy. The guards stood in two rows on both sides of the test ride route. A full-time driver from the other courtyard also walked outside the dragon chariot to prepare to drive.
However, at this moment, the voice of the eldest princess came from the dragon chariot.
"Wait a minute, Master Liu, can you drive?"
No one understood what the eldest princess meant for a while.
Liu Xinyan also didn't understand, but still answered honestly: "Back to Your Highness, I came from a poor family before joining the court and becoming an official. I worked as a coachman when I was young. I can't say that I am skilled, but I am not a novice."
After hearing this, the eldest princess said with satisfaction: "Okay, then today I will have Mr. Liu Liu."
Liu Xinyan was stunned and didn't understand what the eldest princess meant by this sentence.
But other officials have already judged it. The eldest princess is giving Liu Xinyan a chance to show off.
If everything goes well today, there will be an upstart among the princess's party at the court tomorrow, and this person is Liu Xinyan!
The eyes of the officials were full of envy. Only Liu Xinyan was still standing there with a frown on his face.
However, Li Dong, who was beside Liu Xinyan, reacted. His eyes were indescribably excited. He quickly pushed Liu Xinyan and whispered, "Why are you still standing there? Get up and drive!"
Liu Xinyan turned around and looked at Li Dong in surprise. Li Dong's eyes urged him and he said, "This is an opportunity, you seize it!"
Liu Xinyan finally understood, but his brows furrowed even more tightly.
It was enough to let him "repair the car", but now he is also asked to be a "car driver"!
In Liu Xinyan's opinion, even if this was not a great shame, it was still a loss of face in front of a group of civil servants.
However, Liu Xinyan was the only one present who thought so.
Liu Xinyan finally compromised under Li Dong's repeated urging.
With his previous experience of "repairing cars", Liu Xinyan was not as pretentious and stubborn as before this time. He walked onto the dragon chariot expressionlessly and stood in the position of the driver.
"Your Highness, please sit still, I'm going to set off."
"Um."
"drive!"
As Liu Xinyan waved the bridle in his hand, the four horses neighed, kicked up their hooves and pulled the dragon chariot into motion.
Because the gold-lacquered armored dragon chariot was too heavy, and Liu Xinyan had not held the bridle for many years, the dragon chariot moved unsteadily at first, with occasional pauses.
Normally, this would have resulted in a verbal scolding from the eldest princess, but today was a trial ride to test the dragon chariot's ability to withstand bumps after modification.
In this way, Liu Xinyan was self-defeating and once again acted out in front of the eldest princess.
Not only did the eldest princess not feel any discomfort while sitting on the flying carpet, the small bumps made her feel like she was sitting on a slowly swinging swing, which aroused her sense of playfulness.
"Interesting and interesting!"
The eldest princess' slightly smiling voice came from the dragon chariot.
The officials followed the dragon chariot on horseback. At this time, they also felt that today's test ride should be successful.
Everyone was immersed in the excitement of success, but they did not notice that Wang Ze, who was at the back of the team, quietly speeded up and slowly came to the front of the team from the left.
For today's test ride, Liu Xinyan walked the route in the courtyard himself, and Sun Shangshu also specially ordered people to smooth the road.
Although it is not as smooth as the bluestone ground in the palace, there are no big holes or big rocks on the test route at this time.
This has the best effect. It can not only test the effect of the dragon chariot transformation, but at the same time, there will be no big bumps and damage to the eldest princess.
Liu Xinyan also gradually found the feeling of holding the reins back then, and the reins in his hands gradually became a bridge of communication with the horses.
However, at this moment, an accident occurred.
For some reason, a pit suddenly appeared on the originally smooth road after the horses passed by. At this time, the pit was under the dragon chariot, and Liu Xinyan could not find it at all.
The wheels of the dragon chariot ran over the pit, and the dragon chariot suddenly lost its balance.
It was all such a coincidence that a pit suddenly appeared on the smooth road, and the location of the pit was exactly on the route of the wheel.
The size of the pit is also very important. If it is too big, it will be discovered by Liu Xinyan in advance. If it is too small, it will not cause the dragon chariot to bump too much. The size seemed to have been carefully considered beforehand, just enough to make the dragon chariot tilt.
Because the gold-painted heavy-armored dragon chariot was too heavy, even if it only tilted slightly, it would be a sudden huge force for the four horses.
Four horses pulling a gold-painted heavy-armored dragon chariot was a bit far-fetched, but this unexpected incident immediately caused the four horses to neigh in panic.
Liu Xinyan was shocked and quickly tightened the bridle in his hand, trying to control the panicked horse. However, this move was equivalent to adding fuel to the fire at this time, immediately increasing the horse's panic.
The horse, which had been pulled to the right by the dragon chariot, pulled the dragon chariot to the left under Liu Xinyan's strong control.
Due to Liu Xinyan's improper operation, confusion arose among the four horses. The dragon chariot experienced huge bumps between tilting and pulling. The dragon chariot, which was originally leaning to the right, changed direction and made a larger sideways movement to the left. pour.
The eldest princess in the dragon chariot was sitting comfortably on the flying carpet, but the dragon chariot suddenly experienced turbulence.
At first, the slight bumps caused by the frame could be resolved by the flying carpet, but then the huge roll was not resolved by the flying carpet. Instead, it exceeded the bearing capacity and was about to eject the eldest princess.
Seeing that the originally smooth trial was about to lead to a huge accident involving a car crash and fatalities, a figure suddenly appeared from among the officials at the rear, struggling to hold back the dragon chariot when it was about to tip over.
This person was none other than Wang Ze who had caught up from the left side of the team. Although Wang Ze was a civil servant, he was not incompetent. He was actually a well-trained Walker realm warrior.
However, even so, the gold-lacquered heavy-armored dragon chariot weighing a thousand kilograms was still speeding, and it was definitely not something that a Walker-level warrior could carry.
Wang Ze's face was red, and his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes caused by excessive exertion.
"Ah..." Wang Ze roared and held on to the dragon chariot. He was about to lose his hold and end up being smashed into meat cakes.
But with the moment Wang Ze gained, the guards waiting on both sides of the road came to their senses and immediately stepped forward to provide support.
After a concerted effort, the dragon chariot finally stabilized.
