On the day of the horse race, the scene was even grander than Su Youyi imagined.

She and Ji Yushen took a small boat to the woods and found that the emperor and queen, the concubines and concubines had already arrived, and the students who participated in the competition had also arrived early.

They changed into uniform short-cut clothes and looked very energetic.

Not only them, but Su Youyi also saw Master Zhao, who had always been upright and serious, in the crowd, who was cheering for the students, and asked them from time to time if they wanted to drink water or tea.

"Come on! You have to win! ”

Master Zhao didn't know who to learn from, and he was stunned when he said it.

They are all his students, who should he hope to win?

Su Youyi glanced around the field, in addition to the masters, she also saw many curious palace maids and eunuchs, all gathered around the field to watch.

Some of these people were brought by the concubines, and some were brought by the concubines, and the palace people were good, so they called their friends to come, not wanting to miss this grand event.

Seeing Su Youyi's gaze sweeping, some people lowered their heads weakly.

Su Youyi only smiled, and Chao Xia'er said: "You go and tell them that when you come to watch the game, you can watch it generously, and you don't have to hide." As long as their errands are done, no one will allow them to watch the game. ”

"Yes."

Xia'er smiled and blessed her body, turned around and went in the direction where those palace people gathered, and after listening to Xia'er's words, the person who had just shrunk his head and brain suddenly became relaxed.

"Aunt Xia'er, don't worry, we all came out after we finished our errands!"

"Yes, Aunt Xia'er, we shouldn't be on duty today."

"That's good."

Xia'er said: "Father-in-law Duofu opened a plate over there, betting on which little prince or little prince can win." Why don't you go over and see the excitement? ”

"Really?"

When they heard this, they hurried to gather at the place where Duofu was.

This kind of thing, if you don't bet on it, it's boring, and sure enough, Duofu is shouting there, "Today's new plate, see who will kill the deer in the end, is it the sixth prince or the seventh prince, or which powerful little boy?" ”

"I'll bet on the six princes, a penny!"

"I'll bet on the Seventh Prince, two hanging money!"

Duofu collected all the money, and said while collecting: "All the two little princes?" I can tell you, if you lose for a while, don't cry your nose, buy and leave! ”

Some palace people saw that everyone was betting on the sixth and seventh princes, and even if they won, they didn't have much money, so they searched for other students' names.

Someone saw Li Qianyue's name and said, "I'll bet on this little boy Li." I often hear the master of the school say that Li Xiaogongzi is good at homework, and it is not bad to come to horse racing. ”

Someone laughed, "It's really, what does good homework have to do with good horse racing?" I see that the little boy of Gongjun Wangfu is tall, and I want to come to horse racing, so I bet on him! ”

"You're!"

The person who bet on Li Qianyue was not angry, "It has nothing to do with being tall and good at horse racing, you kid is full of nonsense!" ”

……

The gambling game here was lively, and even Yuan Zhi and Queen Zhou saw it.

Queen Zhou said with a smile: "It's still the queen mother's happiness, if there is no such gamble, it will be boring." Gonggong Ji, Dan'er, aren't you going to gamble? ”

Xiao Jizi was eager to try, and glanced at the yard when she heard the words.

Yuanzhi smiled: "Go, don't pestle in front of me, Dan'er will go too." ”

Dan'er shook her head, "The slave didn't bring any money with her when she went out today, so she still won't go." ”

"What's so hard about that?"

Xiao Jizi took out several pieces of silver from his purse, "I'll give you out, go, I'm an old acquaintance with Duofu, let him teach us to press the one who is most likely to win!" ”

When Dan'er heard this, she happily followed Xiao Jizi away, "Don't let you go out in vain, I'll go back and get the silver and return it to you later!" ”

"Wow, what's the matter!"

The two of them laughed and left, Yuan Zhi and Empress Zhou glanced at each other and walked towards Su Youyi.

"Queen Mother, the hour is almost up, let's sit down."

Yuan Zhi said, supporting Su Youyi towards the head, they didn't sit down, and everyone didn't dare to sit.

Su Youyi said as she walked: "You came so early, have you gone shopping?" I had someone clean it up for the children to play with, such as horse racing, hunting, and barbecue...... I didn't expect the palace people to clean up so hard, but now I feel that it is a pity to take such a good place for hunting. ”

Speaking of the top, everyone sat down, and Ji Yushen sat behind Su Youyi.

So everyone came up and saluted and sat down, Su Youyi looked down, and each student was followed by a pony in his hand, with a posture of being ready to go.

Su Youyi said with a smile: "See, the palace people have bet on the gambling board, and each of you has everyone's hopes on your back, don't slack off." The mourning family has also prepared a lottery for you today. ”

As soon as the words fell, Yan'er took out a horsewhip, the whip body line was clean and neat, and there was a bright yellow ribbon on it to remember, which was a good royal tribute at a glance.

"This is a horse whip that was paid tribute by the Mongol tribes a few years ago, and it is made of the finest calf skin. The knife is constantly chopping, and the fire is not rotten. Whoever wins today's horse race is who's own. ”

Xiao Liu, Xiao Qi and the others all opened their eyes wide when they saw this, and even Li Qianyue, who had never been used to riding and shooting, knew that this was a good thing.

It's a pity that he couldn't win the championship in today's game, and he didn't know how to shoot at all.

Only then did the palace people tell him that in addition to Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, he was the most bet on the gambling board opened by Duofu, and Li Qianyue was embarrassed to say that he was not good at riding and shooting, which was very embarrassing.

With the sound of a drum, the students got on their horses.

Rao is little six and little seven dare to ride out of the palace to play when they are young, and it is inevitable that they will be a little nervous at this time.

They rode a lot more, and it was the first time they had competed.

The same is true for most of the other students, after all, they are still young, and at most they are the adults of the family who go hunting and playing, and they have only gone out with them.

For a moment, a pair of small hands holding the reins were soaked with sweat.

From the angle of Su Youyi and the others sitting on the top, they could only see eight ponies lined up at the starting line, and when they looked ahead, they could see a forest path, which was fenced on both sides, prohibiting them from taking shortcuts.

The path winds all the way into the woods and then comes out on the other side.

That's the finish line.

Su Youyi looked at Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi and gave them an encouraging look.

"Ready!"

At the sound of the order, the crowd became suspenseful, and the eight ponies shot out like arrows from the string.

The speed was so fast that Su Youyi almost didn't see it clearly.

She turned her head and asked Ji Yushen, "Who was in front just now?" ”

"Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi are in front, and Li Qianyue is at the back."

Ji Yushen's eyes were like torches, and he could see clearly, Su Youyi sneered, "Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi told me that Li Qianyue doesn't know how to ride and shoot, otherwise don't let him participate in the competition." As a result, the kid came to me and said that his classmates had participated and that he was going to try it too. This child is really rare and tenacious. ”

"He looks well-behaved, but he's actually very competitive."

Ji Yushen's evaluation of Li Qianyue was still so bad or not bad, Su Youyi didn't bother to pay attention to him, and rolled her eyes at him.
