Because the emperor personally came to watch the game and gave the team the name, football became the only designated sport of Baiqisi, and there was a game every day.
Of course, this is done under the condition that military training is guaranteed.
High-intensity training has made everyone's skills improve rapidly, and many skills have been developed, making the competition more intense and interesting.
In addition, it was just announced today that it will be expanded to Qianqi, and everyone will have the opportunity to be promoted. It is also a performance for the princess. Everyone works hard and shows off their skills even more.
Everyone tried their best to perform, making the game more exciting than ever before. Little Sizi shouted excitedly without caring about his image.
Seeing the little man jumping up and down, Chen Jingke felt very sorry for him and felt very strange.
Little Sizi is precocious and sensible, which makes people feel heartbroken. But for some reason, he just likes football games. He has never forgotten them since the first time he watched them.
The next few times I asked Chen Jingke to bring her over to watch the competition. Every time I watched, she was very forgetful. She was not like the gentle and lovely girl at all.
But Chen Jingke wanted her to be so carefree, so he would take her to watch a game every few days.
The game lasted from morning to afternoon, including intermissions, timeouts, etc., and took a total of nearly four hours.
Lunch was eaten on the golf course. It was a very simple mutton rice bowl. The taste could only be described as average, but little Sizi enjoyed it very much.
After the game, it was still early before dark, so Chen Jingke accompanied her to practice on the court for a while. They said they were practicing, but in fact they just stood there and kicked the ball to me and I kicked it to you.
A child who is only five or six years old has a genetic disease and is relatively weak. Chen Jingke will not allow him to run and practice.
Even so, Xiao Sizi was sweating after a while, but her laughter never stopped. It could be seen that she was really happy.
Seeing that the exercise was almost done, Chen Jingke stopped and said: "Okay, little Sizi, brother, let's take a rest for a while."
"Yeah." Xiao Sizi trotted up to him, stretched out her small hand to hold his big hand, and walked to the chair next to her.
After sitting down, Chen Jingke tidied her messy hair and said with a smile, "Are you happy?"
"Happy, thank you brother." Xiao Sizi said sweetly.
"Haha...little Sizi is so good." Chen Jingke couldn't help but rub her little face. He liked this little person more and more.
The two maids also came slowly with water bottles, completely ignoring this scene, pouring water for them and saying: "Madam, real person, please drink some water."
Chen Jingke nodded, took a sip first, and said, "Xiao Sizi is still young, so don't put salt in her water from now on."
The maid said in fear: "Here, I'll change it right away."
Chen Jingke smiled and said: "No, it doesn't matter if you drink it once or twice occasionally. I don't mean to blame you, I just remind you normally to let her eat less salt."
The maid said gratefully: "Master Xie, we understand, and we will try our best to help the lady eat less salt in the future."
Chen Jingke was afraid that they would go too far, so he said: "You can't eat nothing at all. You still have to put it in the food, otherwise there will be no taste."
"Just put less salt and make it lighter. Except for meals, don't let her eat salt at other times."
"Here." The maid wrote it down seriously.
They dare not forget that since the queen recovered from her illness, the palace has paid special attention to diet. There are strict regulations on how much salt to put in the food and what kind of food and how much to eat every day.
Any prince or princess who dares to disobey must be taught a lesson. If the waiter fails to take good care of him or fails to report the information, he will be kicked out of the palace, or he will be imprisoned in the palace or killed with a stick.
I don’t know how many waiters have suffered in the past two years.
Everyone knows that if you accidentally collide with the saint and the empress in the palace, you will be slapped a few times at most. If you are lucky, you will not even be punished.
But if you make a mistake in your diet, no one can save you, so no one dares to make a mistake in this area.
The light salt water they prepared for Princess Jinyang also followed the standards set by the palace: after exercising and sweating, drink a little light salt water to replenish salt.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jingke suddenly made a special request.
Although his request did not comply with the palace regulations, the maids did not dare to violate it because the dietary rules in the palace were set by Zixiaoguan.
After sitting on the chair for a while, Xiao Sizi opened his mouth and let out a big yawn.
Chen Jingke smiled and said, "Are you sleepy?"
"Yeah." Xiao Sizi said a little embarrassed.
"Then let's go back."
"good."
So Chen Jingke took her back to the palace on horseback, walking as slowly as he did when he came.
But this time they didn't speak. Chen Jingke held her quietly, and after a while her little head fell down.
Chen Jingke quickly supported her. Xiao Sizi smiled at him and started fighting again.
It seems like she didn't do much exercise today, but actually it was very tiring to jump, jump, shout and yell while watching the ball.
In addition, I didn’t take a nap at noon, so it’s normal to feel sleepy at this time.
Chen Jingke thought for a while and simply picked her up and placed her in front of him, letting her head rest on his arm, and said dotingly: "Go to sleep. I'll call you when we get to the palace."
Little Sizi didn't say a word, but crawled into his arms and found a comfortable position. A small hand was still holding the skirt of his clothes, not sure if she was afraid of falling or that he would run away.
After a while, her breathing became longer.
Looking at the sleeping little Sizi, Chen Jingke showed a happy smile.
It took longer to return to the palace than when we arrived. Xiao Sizi was sleeping deeply. Chen Jingke didn't want to wake her up, so he carried her off the horse with the help of the guards.
Then he carried her all the way back to the Zhengdian Hall and carefully placed her on her little bed. Looking at her flushed face, Chen Jingke couldn't help but kiss her gently.
Changsun Wugou watched all this from the side, but did not say anything. He just said: "Okay, you go back quickly. You won't be able to get out when the palace door is locked."
Chen Jingke turned around and glanced at Xiao Sizi reluctantly before saying, "Well, then I'll go back and let my aunt take a rest early."
After coming out of the palace, Chen Jingke sighed heavily. He really hoped that little Sizi would grow up soon so that they could be together every day.
But I don’t want her to grow up, because no one knows what the world will be like when she grows up. Maybe it’s best for her to be as simple and happy as she is now.
Sure enough, people's hearts are complicated.
As soon as we returned to Zixiao Temple, the sound of street drums rang out. There were street drums placed on the street, and they would be beaten every day to remind people that the curfew was about to begin.
The drum beats six hundred times, and those who are still wandering on the street after the end will be punished.
A few days passed unknowingly, and the emperor officially decreed that the Hundred Cavalry Division be expanded into Qianqi Division, and 900 people were selected from Yuan Cong's Imperial Army, various guards, and ordinary people to recruit additional personnel.
At the same time, Chen Jingke was appointed as the captain of Qianqi, Li Xiaoyi as the captain of Zuo Guoyi, and Wang Fangyi as the captain of right Guoyi.
Everyone is not surprised that Chen Jingke serves as the Qianqi Captain. Wang Fangyi is somewhat famous in Beijing because of his performance on the anniversary of Wang Yu's death and the help of Princess Tong'an to make him famous.
Everyone was surprised only by Li Xiaoyi. For no other reason than he was too low-key before, so no one had heard of him at all.
The most famous of Li Shentong's sons are Li Daoyan, and the two older ones. Li Xiaoyi, the eighth oldest, is too young and inconspicuous.
For such a person, why did the emperor suddenly make him Captain Guoyi of Qianqi?
It's different to say that you want to find a clan member to help look after you. Why do so many clan members choose the transparent Li Xiaoyi?
Not to mention outsiders, even Li Xiaoyi himself and his uncle Li Shenfu were confused.
However, as Zong Zhengqing, he couldn't figure out another way, so he immediately took Li Xiaoyi into the palace.
Li Shimin was very clear about their purpose and said: "Don't think too much, I also accidentally discovered that Xiaoyi is a little clever. If you teach him well, he will have the opportunity to become a pillar of my royal family."
Li Shenfu didn't dare to ask how he discovered it. In short, the emperor's words were the most correct reason, saying: "Thank you saint for your great kindness. My brother will definitely be very happy under Jiuquan."
Li Xiaoyi also said quickly: "Thank you for your great kindness, saint. Xiaoyi will definitely study hard and serve the country."
Li Shimin was very pleased to see him. The more talents there were in the clan, the happier he would be. He encouraged: "Don't be arrogant when you go to Qianqi. Put down your posture and mingle with the soldiers."
Li Xiaoyi said excitedly: "Here."
Li Shimin continued: "You must respect Chen Jingke, listen to him in everything except rebellion, and learn everything he teaches you seriously."
Li Xiaoyi already knew the nature of Baiqisi and said: "Well, I will definitely study with Captain Chen. He will write down what he taught and what happened to Qianqi and report it to you."
Li Shimin said approvingly: "As long as you know it clearly, go ahead and don't let me down."
After coming out of the palace, the uncle and nephew could no longer control their emotions and burst into laughter. This was indeed a happy thing, and it meant that their lineage would remain prosperous for a longer period of time.
The competition between the same clans is also very fierce. Li Shentong is from the same lineage, Li Xiaogong is from the same lineage, and Li Daozong is from the same lineage.
How fierce is the competition among clans? There is a clan named Li Daoxuan, who is said to be as talented as Li Daozong.
This man had followed Li Shimin in his military expeditions in the north and south since he was a teenager. He was his little fanboy, and Li Shimin also trusted and liked him very much.
When he was nineteen years old, he served as the commander-in-chief of the march to suppress Liu Heita's rebellion. Unfortunately, he was framed and killed by his deputy general.
Li Shimin cried bitterly when he heard the news of his death.
The deputy general who framed him was a confidant of Li Shentong's group, and was not punished afterwards. The reason for this is often impossible to explain.
Li Shentong and his family were relatively prominent in the clan, but there was nothing they could do about it. Who knew they would hug each other? They were sure to follow Li Shimin, and they never betrayed them even in the most dangerous times.
But the more prominent a person's family background is, the more they care about inheritance. The prestige in front of you is nothing, the best is what can be passed down.
And what does it take to pass on the greatness? Talent.
Of course they were happy that Li Xiaoyi's talents were appreciated and reused by the emperor. He was only a teenager this year, and normally he could protect the family for forty or fifty years.
This has been quite a long time.
After laughing, Li Xiaoyi said doubtfully: "Uncle, what do you think the saint's attitude is towards that Zhenren Chen?"
Li Shenfu sighed and said seriously: "He is not someone you can offend. You must be respectful to him. Except when you are rebelling, you must be respectful to him at all times."
Li Xiaoyi said unconvinced: "How is it possible? Even if he is Princess Jinyang's consort, it won't be like this, right?"
Li Shenfu said: "You are saying the opposite. It is because he is powerful that he can become Princess Jinyang's consort. It is not because he becomes Princess Jinyang's consort that he cannot afford to offend him."
Li Xiaoyi said in surprise: "He is just a disciple of Master Sun. Why do you say that?"
Li Shenfu shook his head and said: "There are some things that I can't let you know yet, so don't try to find out. If you know too much, you may disappear for no reason one day."
Li Xiaoyi's face changed drastically. He would naturally not suspect that his uncle had deceived him. Then there was only one possibility. This Chen Zhenren had a killer hidden in him, a killer who would kill many people.
He took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, uncle, for reminding me. I understand."
Li Shenfu glanced at him and said, "Do you really know? Then tell me how important he is?"
Li Xiaoyi didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he smiled bitterly and said, "You should stop being so secretive and just tell me."
Li Shenfu approached him and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "The saint would rather lose several ordinary princes than have anything happen to him."
Li Xiaoyi was horrified. He was even more important than the prince, by a few degrees. Although he was an ordinary prince and not a legitimate prince, this was shocking enough.
What kind of secret is hidden in this Chen Zhenren... No, I don't know anything. I only know that he is Captain Qianqi, my immediate superior.
It took him a while to recover from the shock, and he immediately discovered a problem and asked: "In that case, why did the saint let me..."
Li Shenfu said: "It is precisely because he is so important that the saint asked you to keep an eye on him."
Li Xiaoyi nodded thoughtfully and said, "I know what to do."
Li Shenfu nodded and said: "That's good. You are a smart boy. I believe you can do it well."
Then he said: "Tomorrow you go to Zixiao Temple to visit Zhenren Chen, and don't lose etiquette."
…
The residence of Princess Tong'an is also celebrating Shaolangjun's receiving the title of Jin.
Only Princess Tong'an made some complaints: "He is just a little Taoist priest, but he is riding on Fang Yi's head. I really don't know what the saint thinks."
The Queen Mother said with a smile: "He is the consort of Princess Jinyang. It would be hard for the royal family not to grant him a higher official position. Besides, I have to give him the honor of the Medical Saint."
Princess Tong'an nodded and said, "I've known you for so long, and this sentence hits the point. His position is a false one, and we, Fang Yi and Li Xiaoyi, are really in charge."
The Queen Mother was very happy. Although Princess Tong'an was rude, the relationship between the two parties has eased a lot because of Wang Fangyi.
In the past, let alone such compliments, there was no chance to meet face to face, how could we sit together and chat like now.
Princess Tong'an then said: "But we have to give the old god some face. Let Fang Yi go to Zixiao Temple to visit him tomorrow."
The Queen Mother said quickly: "Mom is still thoughtful. I will tell Fang Yi when he comes back."
