The runway is approximately circular, and the two agreed to shoot arrows at three targets along the way, and return to the starting point first after a circle to count the victory.

Because it is a circular runway, there are distinctions between inside and outside.Those who ran outside walked fifty steps first, and the Seventh Prince chose the outside.

Jia Yuanchun watched the emperor's grandson listen to the request of the seventh prince calmly, and his anxious mood eased a lot. He guessed that maybe after five days, the emperor's grandson's leg injury might have healed.

However, the action of the emperor's grandson when he got on the horse shattered Jia Yuanchun's good wishes.

The emperor's grandson did not step on the stirrup with his left foot and stretch his right leg over the horse's back like ordinary people; on the contrary, he first lifted his right leg and stepped on the stirrup with his right foot.

This is very strange, because the right foot is in the stirrup, no matter how you look at it, it looks like you are riding upside down on the horse's back, with your face facing the horse's buttocks.If the majestic grandson rode upside down in front of everyone, it would make people laugh out loud.

However, no one thought that the crown prince, who had been carefully taught by the old emperor and the former prince for 20 years, would do something like riding a horse backwards, so they were all stunned, and the scene was a little quiet for a while.

But seeing the emperor's grandson slapping the horse's back with both palms, the whole person used his strength to jump up, his right foot flexibly slipped out of the stirrup, and his right leg briskly slid across the horse's back. In the blink of an eye, the whole person was sitting firmly. on horseback.The whole movement was clean and neat, and the emperor's grandson kept his upper body upright, which was more elegant than the warrior who had just performed equestrianism.

"Good! Good! Good!" King Chahua Kebul Khan was the first to react, took the lead in applauding, and laughed loudly: "I showed my hand as soon as I came up! It's really amazing!"

The Seventh Prince had already got on the horse, and seeing the thunderous applause at this moment, his face showed contempt, and he cursed secretly in his heart: a bunch of sycophants.

Jia Yuanchun felt as if she had swallowed ice. She saw that the emperor's grandson did not use his left leg in all the unusual movements of getting on the horse - any movement that required strength or support from the left leg was skillfully and gracefully avoided. up.

The emperor's grandson's leg injury did not heal.

However, this horse race was won by the emperor's grandson.

Because the Seventh Prince ran first on the outside, he passed two archery targets first, and the arrows were all shot, and both arrows hit the red heart.No matter how good the latecomers are, they are only as good as him.

However, the grandson of the emperor used a heavy and powerful bow, and the arrow went like a shooting star, with a sharp sound of piercing through the air, directly pierced the tail of the Seventh Prince's arrow, and nailed it into the red heart.

At the third archery target, the emperor's grandson had already caught up with the Seventh Prince, and his arrow arrived first, breaking the Seventh Prince's arrow in half in mid-air, and the momentum remained undiminished. Hit the red heart!

After a brief silence outside the arena, waves of praise erupted.

When reaching the finish line, the grandson of the emperor was half a horse head faster than the seventh prince.He was already a horse body faster than the Seventh Prince, but in the end, he seemed to want to prevent the other party from losing too badly, so he deliberately slowed down his speed. He just sat on the horse and ran with the horse leisurely, without clamping the horse The belly or the horse's buttocks are used to urge him to run quickly; in comparison, the Seventh Prince's face looked a little ferocious when he chased desperately at the end.

The Seventh Prince got off the horse with a dark face, turned around and left without saying a word.

The grandson of the emperor didn't care, and sat on the horseback, instead, he said to King Chahua Kebulhan who came to greet him: "The lonely rise is not over, how about using King Khan's horse to gallop again?"

Naturally, King Chahua Kebul Khan did not refuse, and he ordered people to go down and prepare horses for all the guards who followed the grandson.

Even Jia Yuanchun brought a fine horse in front of him.

Jia Yuanchun also rode a horse in his previous life, but it was a docile filly, which was different from the tall horse in front of him.However, she couldn't refuse. Since she insisted on changing into a man's clothes and traveling with her grandson, she shouldn't show her daughter-in-law appearance.She cleared her throat uneasily, clasped her hands, approached the horse cautiously, observed the movements of the other guards around her, and finally got her heart set!

The first time her left leg was not supported and she almost fell off; fortunately, there were so many people around that no one noticed her; the second time she finally climbed onto the horse's back, she was already flushed, her heart was beating faster, and she was sitting on a high horse. On the back, looking down is a little scary.And the horse was still moving, so moving that Jia Yuanchun felt that the ground was spinning, and a nauseating feeling came up...

At this time, a slender and clean hand reached out and gently held the rein for her.

The horse under Jia Yuanchun became quiet. It lowered its head and sniffed the grass on the ground docilely.Jia Yuanchun was able to catch her breath, and she looked gratefully at the person who came, but she saw the emperor's grandson sitting on the horse, looking at her with gentleness and concern.Because of the horse race just now, there was a thin layer of sweat on the emperor's forehead, which shone slightly in the sun, making him seem to be shrouded in some kind of halo.

"Don't be afraid, follow Gu slowly." The emperor's grandson smiled at her comfortingly.

Jia Yuanchun felt that nauseating feeling disappeared.

The horse under the crotch of the emperor's grandson should be the leading horse in the herd, and the horses of Jia Yuanchun and the guards automatically followed the leading horse.

The emperor's grandson said that he would "go for another ride", but at this moment he just walked back a little leisurely.

"Your Highness, do you want to go back?" Jia Yuanchun couldn't help asking, only half a horse's head away from him.

"Hmm." The emperor's grandson responded gracefully.

"Your Highness, your... your leg..." Jia Yuanchun observed along the way, the emperor's grandson's left foot had been resting on the stirrup, and his left leg hardly moved.

The emperor's grandson turned his face sideways this time, his side face and chin had a beautiful arc, he smiled and blinked, shook his head slightly, and signaled her not to ask further, as if it was an interesting secret.

From beginning to end, he never let go of Jia Yuanchun's rein.

Finally arrived at the small golden tent, Jia Yuanchun bravely got off the horse very quickly, she glanced at the emperor grandson who was still sitting on the horseback, and quickly ran to the camp of Fat Boy and Xiao Gao, calling them to pick up the emperor grandson and get off the horse .Just as she guessed, the last leisure on the field and the sudden interest in galloping were all because his leg injury could no longer support his strenuous exercise, and he could not even walk normally after dismounting.

The grumpy doctor was called in again that day.

Aunt Liao and Eunuch Su were worried about the situation of the emperor's grandson at first. After recovering, Aunt Liao pulled Jia Yuanchun out of the tent, her face was anxious, "What's going on?"

Jia Yuanchun also wanted to know how the emperor's grandson was injured, so he said briefly: "Your Highness raced horses with others, and that's how it will be after that."

Aunt Liao said angrily: "Why don't the female history persuade me!" After she finished speaking, she felt that she was venting her anger. She knew the temper of His Highness the Emperor Taisun best, and asked, "Who are you racing horses with?"

"Seventh Prince." After Jia Yuanchun replied, he saw that Aunt Liao's expression changed from angry and distressed to "So that's the case", and finally changed back to a higher level of anger.

It seems that there is something strange behind this matter.

Jia Yuanchun asked cautiously: "Your Highness... are you okay?"

Aunt Liao sighed and avoided talking about it, she just said: "Nvshi has been busy all day, let's rest early."

Jia Yuanchun went back to the camp tentatively, hugged his knees and sat there for a while, took out the bamboo basket, unfolded the paper on the case, and settled down to record it carefully.

Aunt Liao didn't come back until the moon and stars were thinning out.

Jia Yuanchun hurriedly dropped his pen and went up to meet her, only to see Aunt Liao's eyes were red, and his heart sank.Tears in the palace are taboo. Aunt Liao, who has stayed in the East Palace for more than ten years, cannot possibly understand. Then what happened, but the emperor's grandson's injury has worsened?

Seeing Jia Yuanchun staring at her, Aunt Liao turned her head, took out a small wooden box from her bosom and handed it over.

"What is this?" Jia Yuanchun took it.

Aunt Liao stared at her as she opened the box, and said dryly, "This is what His Highness asked me to return to you."

Jia Yuanchun wondered, could it be Xiao Feng's square handkerchief?But he shouldn't have come to her again.She pulled away the bamboo pieces on the wooden box, but saw the coral red earring lying quietly inside, she couldn't help being stunned.

Aunt Liao didn't ask any further questions, she knelt down on the blanket and began to spread the quilt.

Jia Yuanchun turned around the screen in a trance, and after a while, opened her jewelry box, and put another coral red earring into the small wooden box.

That day she had told the grandson that Pu Liu's quality was not worthy of his body as a dragon and a tiger; the grandson promised to follow her ambitions from now on.Now that he returned the earring, it was probably an act of fulfilling his promise.On the day of the Eight Kings' Gathering, what he won from King Chahua Kebul Khan despite his leg injury was returned to her hand so lightly.

The emperor's grandson could have handed it back to her face to face today, but she would inevitably be embarrassed and ashamed face to face; putting it in a wooden box and letting Aunt Liao hand it over saved her from embarrassment.Maybe the grandson of the emperor didn't bother to think about her, it's very likely that he himself is such a gentleman who makes people feel refreshed...

Jia Yuanchun slowly lay down on the blanket and didn't fall asleep for a long time.

"Is Nu Shi still asleep?" Aunt Liao's voice came from the other side of the screen.

"Oh... I'm sorry, did I disturb you by turning over?"

Aunt Liao said, "I can't sleep either." She sighed, "At a time like today, Nv Shi should give some advice."

Jia Yuanchun also regretted and blamed herself at this moment. After listening to Aunt Liao's words, although her tone was not heavy, she still felt her throat was a little choked up. She was quiet for a while before saying: "It's because I didn't do enough. Please teach me more, Auntie."

Aunt Liao said calmly: "The female history is too polite, I dare not give advice, but I have been with the grandson for 13 years, and I know His Highness better than ordinary people." Eight out of ten of the people who served His Highness since childhood are gone, and now we are the only old people left. The world is cold, and Su Gonggong and I are walking outside, and sometimes we are reprimanded by high-ranking people... In fact, there is another What, I am His Highness's servant, Su Gonggong is His Highness's servant, for His Highness we are willing to be smashed to pieces..."

Jia Yuanchun was a little dazed.

"...Look at Your Highness, although he doesn't say anything, he always smiles, but I know he blames himself very much. When we left the Taisun Hall and the Xiaojin Tent, His Highness didn't allow us to follow, for fear that he would protect us." I can't help us; sometimes I see His Highness hurt, enduring the pain, and talking and laughing with those people with ulterior motives, in my heart..." Aunt Liao took a deep breath, suppressing the tears that surfaced, "In short, there are things that Mr. Su and I can't take care of outside now, and I hope that Nu Shi can take good care of them. I have seen you for the past few days, and you are kind and clean. I hope you can make your grandson happy... "

When Jia Yuanchun heard the back, he knew that Aunt Liao had misunderstood her, so she burst into tears. At this moment, she blushed, but fortunately no one could see her in the dark, and she wanted to explain but didn't know how to explain it, so she agreed. .
