Chapter 764 Request
"Princess, do you want something from me?"
Daohua followed Princess Lekang to the stands and looked at her in confusion.
She doesn't seem to have any friendship with this princess, right? Not only that, but because of her relationship with the Jiang family, there might be some resentment. What does she want to do with her?
Princess Lekang looked at Daohua: "Xiao Yeyang spoke to me before, and I don't like to owe favors. Yesterday, I accidentally learned a piece of news. After thinking about it, I felt that I should tell him to return the favor.
”
Daohua listened quietly and said nothing.
Princess Lekang continued: "My father has not agreed to the request of the eldest prince of Xiliao to propose marriage. Xiliao has already guessed that it is impossible to marry the princess of Daxia."
"However, in order to ensure the establishment of friendly relations with Daxia, they are going to do the next best thing and marry the seventh princess who came to the capital this time to the Daxia royal family."
Daohua's heart moved, but she still didn't speak.
Princess Lekang glanced at Daohua: "As far as I know, the person the Seventh Princess of Xiliao is most likely to like is Xiao Yeyang."
Daohua's brows jumped: "I'm afraid the princess made a mistake? Princess Xiliao also wanted to marry a prince, so what's the point of marrying Xiao Yeyang?"
Princess Lekang looked at the rice flowers and did not answer.
Generally speaking, this is indeed the case.
But if someone intervenes, that's not necessarily the case.
Thinking of going to Cining Palace yesterday to pay her respects to the Queen Mother and overhearing the conversation between the Queen Mother and Duke Cheng En, Princess Lekang felt a little confused.
For their own selfish interests, the Jiang family secretly cooperated with the Xiliao people!
Just because Jiang Wanying failed to marry Xiao Yeyang, the Jiang family will break up Xiao Yeyang and Yan Yiyi and let Xiao Yeyang marry Princess Xiliao.
As for Yan Yiyi, in the face of national events, she, the legitimate princess, has to be sacrificed, let alone her. Even if her father grants marriage, she can only be forced to be a concubine.
Princess Lekang took a breath silently. The Jiang family was her maternal ancestor's family and she couldn't say more about colluding with people from Xiliao. She could only remind her like this.
"This princess has already said what needs to be said. It's up to you whether you can stop it or not." After saying that, he turned and returned to the stand.
Daohua looked at her back and pondered for a while. Just in case, she sent Wang Maner to find Xiao Yeyang.
When she returned to the stands, Daohua was a little absent-minded, especially when she noticed the penetrating look in Mrs. Jiang's eyes when she looked at her.
Daohua fanned her fan, feeling depressed in her heart. There were always people hiding in the dark, spying on her, and taking advantage of the opportunity to harm her. This feeling was really bad.
......
On the racecourse, colorful flags are fluttering, drums and horns are blaring, and it is very lively.
The men from Xiliao and Daxia participating in the competition all drove their own horses and trotted around the racecourse to exercise.
The two sides shouted a few words from time to time, which made the atmosphere very high.
Daohua had something on her mind and had no intention of watching this. Looking at Wang Maner who came back alone, she frowned: "Why, Xiao Yeyang was not found?"
Wang Man'er shook his head: "Defu said that the young prince is now accompanying the emperor. However, the slave told Defu what Princess Lekang just said, and Defu said that he would find a way to tell the young prince."
Hearing this, Daohua could only suppress the irritation in her heart and cast her gaze towards the racecourse. Just then, the Seventh Princess of Xiliao in a fiery red dress ran into the racecourse on horseback.
As soon as she entered the arena, she was immediately warmly cheered by the people of Xiliao.
Daohua frowned: "Does she also want to participate in horse racing?"
Before long, the emperor arrived surrounded by officials.
The emperor walked to the main seat and sat down, and everyone in the paddock knelt down to worship.
The emperor raised his hand to let everyone stand up, and then gave seats to the second prince of Xiliao, the eldest prince, and the accompanying officials.
Daxia officials walked to their respective seats and sat down.
Yeluhao looked at the racecourse, and then looked at the emperor with a smile: "Your Majesty, this horse racing competition cannot be without luck."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yelu Kangda took out a foot-long sword and said: "Your Majesty, this is a gift from our Western Liao Dynasty. This sword is called the Seven-Star Sword, and it can cut iron like clay!"
The emperor raised his eyebrows and smiled calmly: "You have all achieved good results, so naturally I can't miss you." After saying that, he glanced at Eunuch An.
Grandpa An immediately smiled and took a meter-long sandalwood box from the eunuch behind him. He took two steps forward and opened the box in front of everyone.
Soon, a long golden whip appeared in everyone's sight.
Eunuch An picked up the whip and waved it lightly, and immediately there was a sound of breaking through the air.
"What a whip!"
Yeluhao praised exaggeratedly, and then said to the Xiliao people on the racecourse: "The Emperor of Daxia has come up with such a good whip as a prize, you must use all your strength to win it!"
The Xiliao people immediately started shouting on their horses.
Yang Chenghua, who was sitting at the head of the emperor, immediately said: "Xiliao's sword is not bad, and our men in Daxia are bound to get it, don't you think so?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the participants in the racecourse and those watching all around burst into enthusiastic cheers.
In an instant, the Xiliao people were suppressed.
Seeing this, the smile on the emperor's face suddenly grew.
Eunuch An handed Wei Qi the riding whip and the sword of the Xiliao people, and he tied both the riding whip and the sword to the high pillar of the ring at the end of the racecourse.
When he came back, the emperor spoke: "Whoever takes the whip and the sword, the whip and the sword belong to whom." After saying that, he looked at the second prince of Xiliao and the eldest prince, "It's almost time, let's get started."<
/p>
"Your Majesty the Emperor!"
Yelu Qianhua suddenly made a sound, and then rode his horse to the stand.
The emperor looked at her calmly: "What's wrong with Princess Qianhua?"
Yelu Qianhua jumped off his horse, bent down and said, "Your Majesty, Qianhua also wants to participate in the competition."
The emperor smiled and said: "I have long heard that the women of Xiliao are also very good at riding and shooting. However, after all, women are not stronger than men, and their physical strength is not as good as that of men. Besides, the people participating in the competition are all rough men. It would be bad to hurt the princess.
”
Yelu Qianhua smiled and said: "Your Majesty, since I plan to participate in the competition, I am not afraid of getting hurt."
The emperor didn't care at all whether she was injured or not. He just said a few polite words: "Since Princess Qianhua insists on this, then if you want to participate, then you can participate, so that we can see the style of Xiliao women."
Yelu Qianhua smiled and continued: "Your Majesty, if Qianhua wins the lottery as a daughter, is there any extra reward?"
Hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows, glanced at Yeluhao and Yelu Kangda next to him, smiled and did not speak immediately.
Yeluhao smiled at Yelu Qianhua and scolded: "Qianhua, don't be so presumptuous. His Majesty the Emperor has already produced such a good whip, how can he ask for other rewards?"
Yelu Qianhua smiled and said: "Don't I want to make the game more interesting?" He said, looking at the emperor, "Your Majesty the emperor, if you don't agree, Qianhua can understand that in your heart, Daxia
In fact, a man can’t even compare to me, a woman?”
The smile on the emperor's face suddenly faded.
At this moment, Duke Cheng'en shouted loudly: "Princess Qianhua is really arrogant. How can I, a man from Daxia, not be able to compare with you, a woman from Xiliao?" After saying that, he stood up and saluted the emperor.
, "Your Majesty, why don't you agree to Princess Qianhua's request and let her take a good look at the heroic appearance of my Daxia man."
The emperor looked at Duke Chengen with a half-smile, and then turned his gaze to Yelu Qianhua: "I wonder what reward the princess wants?"
Yelu Qianhua immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the reward Qianhua wants is very simple. I like Daxia very much and want to stay in Daxia forever. If Qianhua is lucky enough to get the lottery, can you let me choose a husband in Daxia?
?"
