Chapter 1086: Recruiting Relatives in a Contest (Twenty-Nine)

Yelu Hongji was secretly happy in his heart, although the process was tortuous, but the final result did not deviate from his first expectations.

Yang Huairen won the third game, that is, he won the normal competition with the advantage of two wins in three games, and he will become the golden sword horse of Princess Anguo.

He gave Yelu Yanxi a look, Yelu Yanxi nodded, ready to announce the result, but Yang Huairen raised his hand and motioned him to wait for a while, turned to the people present and said, "Although I opened the trap box in a special way, I won the victory.

But now that I think about it, this trap box is really interesting, and the person who can open the trap box should also be extremely smart," he paused, and then turned to Yelu Yanxi, "I believe that His Royal Highness the Emperor should be able to open the trap box, right?" ”

Yelu Yanxi didn't expect Yang Huairen to suddenly mention this matter again, and realized that this was probably Yang Huairen who immediately showed favor to him after becoming a colt, and immediately smiled and said, "This, forget it." ”

Yelu Yanxi said this on his lips, but he didn't think so in his heart, and deliberately was so reserved so that he could appear humble.

Yang Huairen naturally understood what trick Yelu Yanxi was playing, and he also noticed the constant change in Xiao Sabi's mood on the other side, so he smiled again, "His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun doesn't need to be modest, I believe that many people present are as curious as I am, how can this mechanism box be cleverly opened without destroying it?" ”

Yelu Yanxi had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, and she gave in for a moment, and finally stood up pretending to be embarrassed, took a trap box from the maid's hand, and motioned to everyone, "Everyone, please watch carefully, and sacrifice ugly in the next place." ”

After that, he began to untie the trap box, step by step, dismantling all the mechanisms on the exquisitely designed trap box, and finally the trap box changed its entire appearance, before the box was opened, revealing a small space in the middle of the box.

It is undeniable that Yelu Yanxi's performance is very exciting, but his acting skills are too poor, many movements are too coherent, and the movements in his hands are faster than the transfer of his gaze, so a discerning person can see at a glance that he knows the steps to unravel the trap box in advance.

Many people immediately raised their eyes and secretly glanced at Yelu Hongji, and also wanted to understand why he took the opening of the box as the last competition to recruit relatives, but this kind of thing, everyone understands it in their hearts, but they can't talk about it on the table to refute the emperor's face.

After Yelu Yanxi was opened, several officials who knew how to be a man immediately looked excited and excited, and shouted loudly, praising His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson for his talent and intelligence, which is not the inheritance of the orthodox bloodline of the Khitan royal family.

Xiao Sabi was a little disdainful in his heart, but at this time he was thinking about another thing, and his mind was no longer on it, so he didn't mind too much, and he also slapped it symbolically.

Only Ulaliga said in surprise, "I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun to be so smart, I haven't seen anything in that box for a long time, amazing, amazing!" ”

Yelu Hongji also knew that his grandson was too anxious and too quick to open the box, but anyone who was not a fool like Ulaliga could see what was going on.

On the other hand, Yang Huairen must have understood this in advance, although he had won, he did not forget to give Yelu Hongji this face, and let Yelu Yanxi finish the scene, but it made Yelu Hongji feel that he had a good vision and did not choose the wrong person.

Yelu Yanxi didn't have much of a good impression of Yang Huairen, but because he watched his cooking competition in the ring the day before yesterday, he felt that this person's cooking skills were exquisite.

Today, Yang Huairen gave him the opportunity to show his "wisdom", but he was very satisfied with Yang Huairen, and he began to look at him differently.

Yelu Yanxi happily announced that Yang Huairen was the winner of this contest, and then Yelu Hongji issued an order to marry Princess Anguo to Yang Huairen, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, and the wedding date was set for the bowl festival ten days later.

This means that Yelu Hongji is going to hold a traditional grassland wedding for Yang Huairen and Sister Ghost.

Of course, Yelu Hongji may just be taking advantage of the festive atmosphere to add more festivity, but Yang Huairen doesn't understand the interests of their Khitans, especially since this time he is still married to a princess.

It is strictly inaccurate to say that marrying a princess, in fact, no matter which dynasty or generation, the Han people in the Central Plains or the Hu people in the grassland, nominally marrying a princess and recruiting a horse is actually not a real princess to marry.

And the colt is actually the son-in-law who comes to the door. In ancient times, the status of the son-in-law was very low, even the concubine of the man was not as good, and the concubine was just the son-in-law of the family.

So the identity of the colt is a bit special, after marrying the princess, when at home, the status is lower than that of the princess, and when you go out, because of the royal family, the status is very special.

Of course, Yang Huairen, the golden sword and horse of the Khitan royal family, doesn't really need to be a son-in-law, and Sister Ghost, the princess of Anguo, can only be a concubine if she marries him.

The system of wives and concubines of the Khitans and other nomadic peoples was also modeled after the Song Dynasty, although there was a clear status gap between wives and concubines, but this gap was extremely strict in the eyes of the Han people, but in their eyes, it was much more enlightened.

Therefore, it is not a matter of disgrace for the princess to marry someone else as a concubine, not to mention that Yelu Hongji also made such a decision in order to win over all kinds of strength at home and abroad, and the princess is a woman who has been exceptionally promoted, so she will not mind.

Yelu Hongji happily gave the golden knife to Yang Huairen with his own hands, Yang Huairen took the knife and raised his hand high to show it to everyone, and there was a burst of cheers.

Yang Huairen naturally had a smile on his face, but he was not happy that he had become a golden sword, but that he felt that it was not easy to finally receive a return gift from Yelu Hongji, an old guy who slammed the door.

According to the rules of the Khitan people, in the ten days before the princess got married, she could not meet with the future concubine, but Yelu Bawotai thought that Yang Huairen and Princess Anguo had not met a few times before, let alone had any feelings.

If they were to be married like this, it seemed that they would be very embarrassed if they would only meet on the day of the wedding, so he asked Yelu Hongji to take advantage of today's opportunity to let them meet first.

Yelu Hongji was not pedantic, and naturally understood Yelu Bawotai's thoughts, so he agreed to his request.

Yelu Hongji drove back to the palace, and the officials knocked on the prime minister to send him off, and sent away a kind of officials and envoys from various countries, and Yelu Bawotai stayed with Yang Huairen and gave him a chance to talk to Princess Anguo alone before they got married.
