Acting in the Sui and Tang Dynasties

The task of bridging the relationship between Yang Jian and Yang Lihua's father and daughter was not too urgent. Qionghua really couldn't think of an idea for a while, and she was reluctant to give up this question.Anyway, it's an exam, as long as it's not over, maybe one day it will be completed suddenly?Let's put it aside for now.

During the first month of the lunar year, the palace organized some riding and archery competitions for noble children.Mrs. Xuanhua, Xiao Meiniang and Yang Lihua are still judging upstairs in a serious manner.

"That child has an extraordinary figure. I don't know who it is. What does he look like? Let's call him over to have a look." Yang Lihua looked at the back of a young man riding a horse and shooting arrows from a distance, admiring him.

"Our family." Xiao Meiniang laughed, "Sister didn't even realize that Qionghua had learned some riding and archery skills from Princess Yicheng before, and she had to compete with others everywhere, so she found a chance for her."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Yang Lihua's face turned serious, and she told the maid beside her, "Don't ask someone to call her back."

"Wait a minute, it's okay to let her make trouble for a while. It seems to be very happy chatting with the people next to me." Xiao Meiniang pointed to the two figures in the distance and Yang Lihua and said.

"Let me see whose son it is." Mrs. Xuan Hua also enthusiastically took a look at the list of people who entered the palace this time.

"I'm Pei Yuanqing, my father is Pei Renji, the commander-in-chief of Mount Maguan. You snatched the book with me." In the school grounds, the young man on horseback covered his forehead with his hands, and demonstrated with a smile that there was a sea of ​​water flowing across his forehead when his hair was not tied. look like.

The guy who came out to quarrel halfway could be Pei Yuanqing, what else could she say?She had quarreled, and she had a deep impression, which is understandable, but she was recognized as a man in men's clothes, and the TV series were all lies.

"On such a big occasion, you dare to dress up as a man and enter the palace to play. You dare to buy those books that arrange the court. This time it is a riding and archery competition in name, but in fact it has the meaning of choosing a husband for the princess. If you are chosen, you are The crime of deceiving the emperor is to destroy the nine clans, you know?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Pei Yuanqing pretended to be afraid of being exposed as a woman disguised as a man, and even more seriously threatened in a low voice.

"Why don't I know?" Qionghua was really stunned.Why didn't she know about choosing a son-in-law for the princess?

"I also heard what I said to the servant just now. But you don't have to be afraid." Pei Yuanqing took out the arrow from the quiver on his back, and casually drew the bow and arrow. A flying arrow shot out crookedly, and shot right at the ground. outside the target.The grades are quite satisfactory, "As long as you are like me and don't perform too outstandingly, you won't be noticed."

Qionghua was puzzled, "Just don't shoot, why is it so hard?"

"That's impossible, my father's reputation will be ruined, and my family will not let me go." Pei Yuanqing grinned and said the truth frankly.

Don't alarm the central government because of your performance so well, and don't perform too badly to ruin your family's reputation.Qionghua sighed, "It's quite an idea."

"That's it!" Pei Yuanqing was complacent, and asked again, "What about you, whose name did you use to enter the palace?"

"My elder brother, he is an official..." Just as she was about to make up a story, she saw the maid waving to her outside the school grounds, so she held her whip and cupped her fists and said, "I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

"Hey, you haven't said what your name is yet!" He was left behind in the middle of the sentence, and the boy behind was a little annoyed. He just wanted to catch up and ask for clarification, but was stopped by other acquaintances. No one was to be seen.

Qionghua hurried up to the attic, and when she saw the elder sister, the second sister-in-law and the younger mother were staring at her as if they were playing mahjong, they also sat down and joked: "Is it Ye Zixi who lacks people? I don't know, You have to teach me."

"Besides playing, do you know something else?" Yang Lihua put on the posture of the elder sister like a mother, and said, "Have you met the son of the Pei family before?"

"No, it's just chatting about why the disciples of the aristocratic family held the riding and archery competition." Qionghua, who was afraid of being messed up, hurriedly explained.Conscience in heaven and earth, her mind is now full of tasks except for tasks, and she only thinks about doing her job well.Of course, if getting married is also a task, that's another story.

"Of course it's to find a good husband's family for you." Yang Lihua was straightforward, "Your elder sister has a good eye for people. Back then, I personally picked Eying's husband. Now the husband and wife are in perfect harmony. Bad luck."

Seeing that Qionghua had nothing to say, Mrs. Xuanhua said with a smile when she thought that Empress Dugu had passed away for only 6 or 7 months: "If you want to come, the princess also knows that when the empress is dying, what she misses most is your marriage. Your Majesty is old now. Now that I'm older, I naturally want to see my daughter get married as soon as possible. Now I just want to settle the matter first, and wait until after the empress's one-year funeral, and then the wedding ceremony will not be too late."

"Because the queen mother's big event is not far away, the selection of a son-in-law is not as clear as Eying's selection of a son-in-law back then, so I asked the children of the family to compete. Now we are the only ones here, so don't hold back. Among those people, the younger sister Do you like it? Just talk about it and discuss it together." Xiao Meiniang thinks that the family background of these people is not bad, of course, no matter how good they are, it is impossible to be better than the imperial family, so the difference is not big.

"Why did you ask her about this?" Yang Lihua teased, "Let's just look at it."

Then what did you call her from the school grounds to eat melons?

**

After the half-day trip to the school grounds, Pei Yuanqing didn't plan to go back.Similar to Luo Cheng, but he was not convinced when he heard that Yuwen Chengdu was number one in martial arts, and wanted to compete.Originally, Pei Yuanqing dismissed the competition of the disciples of the aristocratic family, and he came here because he wanted to fight Yuwen Chengdu.However, I was told that Yu Wencheng was used to fighting on the battlefield since he was a child, and he never participated in such small fights.This hurt Pei Yuanqing very much, and he was determined to have a fight with him.

However, strangers who don't wear uniforms strolling by the palace walls can easily be regarded as assassins. One can't explain it, so they can only fight with others first.Although Pei Yuanqing looked like an unremarkable young man, he had nothing to say about martial arts.While saying "misunderstanding, misunderstanding", while beating the imperial guards holding swords with bare hands.After knocking down a group of guards with force and lack of accuracy, Pei Yuanqing, who realized that someone would be injured if he continued to fight, jumped up. He was just about to fly over the wall and escape, but was hit by a head-on palm, staggered, and took a few steps back.

Pei Yuanqing covered his shoulders and steadied his steps, smiled instead of anger, and said the name of the person with certainty: "Yuwen Chengdu."

Without any doubt, he firmly believed that with the strength of that palm, there would be no second person in this world.

"Who are you? Why did you trespass into the Forbidden Palace?" Yu Wencheng was also very curious, how the scrawny young man in front of him could hold his palm.

"It's really a misunderstanding. They chased me and beat me. I can't fight back?" Pei Yuanqing was helpless. He wanted to fight Yuwen Chengdu, but he didn't want to be accused of an assassin at this time.He took out the letter from his sleeve to call him into the palace competition, and handed it over with both hands, "Father, Pei Renji, commander of Shanmaguan, I was ordered to enter the palace for a riding and shooting competition. It didn't hurt anyone."

Closing the official document, Yu Wencheng caught a glimpse of the people who were beaten to the ground and stood up silently one by one. Although they had swollen noses and swollen eyes, they really didn't hurt their muscles and bones, and ordered angrily: "Send Mr. Pei out of the palace. "

"Hey, there was no winner just now, let's fight outside the palace." Pei Yuanqing was still tirelessly wanting to fight.Seeing that Yu Wencheng didn't respond to him at all, he turned around and left instead.Then he decided to confront him, "I'll wait for you outside the palace, if you don't come out, you're afraid of me."

After leaving the palace gate, Pei Yuanqing took a pair of silver hammers from his carriage waiting outside the palace, and stared at it not far away with the weapons on his shoulders.It is only a few hours from day to night.Before and after the Shangyuan Festival, Chang'an held a few days of lantern festivals.On weekdays, women and young ladies who are busy with their livelihoods go to temple fairs and guess lantern riddles together.Those foreign businessmen and officials from all over the capital will also stay here for a few days, which is very lively.

Hearing the noise of fireworks in the market in the distance, Mr. Pei was walking around outside the Daxing Palace city with a pair of hammers.Can't help muttering to himself, "You're not really afraid of me, are you?"

"Although I don't know who I'm waiting for, there should be more than one door in Daxing Palace." Qionghua, who was still dressed in men's clothing, saw Pei Yuanqing pacing furtively at the door early in the morning. He was so scared that he still deliberately walked up to him before speaking.

Suddenly enlightened, Pei Yuanqing put the silver hammer off his shoulder and stood on the ground, concluding: "So, Yu Wencheng escaped from another door."

Cough... As the silver hammer fell to the ground, Qionghua felt the ground tremble, "You, have a grudge against him?"

"That's not true! I just want to compete with each other." Pei Yuanqing pouted and lifted the silver hammer back to the carriage in disappointment, ordered his servants to go back first, then turned around and asked Qionghua, "Where are you going?"

"I heard about today's Lantern Festival, let's go out for a stroll."

Pei Yuanqing looked at her suspiciously, "The family is assured that you will come out alone?"

Qionghua shook her head, pointing to a few house servants not far away.

"What's the point of wandering around like this?" He shook his head, feeling very bored.Suddenly he began to count softly, "One, two, three!"

Before Qionghua understood what it meant, she was dragged away by the child.
