Great Zhou Empress

The dormitory was built soon. Xue Zhijing’s requirement was to be bright, dry and comfortable, so it was not built in the form of carved beams and painted buildings. After the construction was completed, the brick walls were painted white, and the roof was covered with black tiles. All of them faced south, which looked very simple. Neat.

At first glance, Xue Zhijing thought he had seen the school of later generations.

More than twenty people lived in six rooms, including Yuan Jin and Xue Zhijing, and four girls lived in one room.

Yuan Jin is so capable, so he definitely wants to join this team. Xue Zhijing is the person who was ordered to organize it. Although the imperial concubine never asked her to participate in training, Xue Zhijing believes that eating and living with the players form an integrated relationship. , is the best way to organize.

There are some servants to help them carry water and cook food, they only need to be responsible for their daily tidying and training.

Everyone put on uniforms. The team uniforms were designed by Xue Zhijing and Yuan Jin. If it was according to Xue Zhijing's idea, they definitely hoped to make pullovers like those of later generations. After all, it was convenient, but it didn't fit the bill The idea of ​​the people of the times, so it has been improved.

The top is a short jacket, the bottom is trousers, and leggings and boots.

Yuan Jin joked that this is the clothing of Hu people.Xue Zhijing said, Hu people's clothing is not the most suitable for riding a horse.

According to Xue Zhijing's plan, everyone will have an hour of culture class together every day, mainly learning history and strategy.In the short term, this kind of cultural class study is to allow them to better cooperate with each other and implement strategies and tactics on the polo field.In the long run, these people cannot be players forever. Sooner or later they will take up the position of military generals. At this time, the knowledge of cultural courses will be useful, so naturally no one will question it.

Apart from the cultural class, there are physical training and court training. Xue Zhijing brought over all the military training methods that she still remembered in later generations. Some Yuan Jiegang and Yuan Jin are familiar with them, and some they are not familiar with, but after explaining that they also I understand that they are all ways to train physical fitness, so I will naturally use them.

Yuan Jin often said, "Zhijing, I don't know if your brain has been enlightened by a Bodhisattva. How do you know so many weird methods?"

Xue Zhijing smiled when he heard that.

Equestrian training and polo training are naturally in charge of Yuan Jiegang and Yuan Jin. The training intensity is very high. Xue Zhijing is often knocked to the point where his bones are falling apart, let alone playing ball. His biceps are shaking from swinging. .

After reporting to the imperial concubine, Xue Zhijing basically stayed on the training ground, eating and lodging, studying and training with all the players, just like classmates or comrades-in-arms.

Soon, everyone became acquainted. Among them, the four girls Xue Zhijing, Yuan Jin, Li Jing, and Chen Tang were the most familiar. After all, they lived in the same dormitory, and they were the only four girls, and they were all hearty. Personality, naturally it is easy to get close to each other.

It's just that with the passage of time, Xue Zhijing discovered that her skin color gradually approached that of the other three.

Sometimes after taking a bath at night, everyone would compare their skin colors together. Yuan Jin even teased Xue Zhijing, "Zhijing, you said that you are a court lady, and you are as dark as us. How can you go back to the palace to do things later? Ah, why don't you just get along with me, and I'll let you be my adjutant."

Xue Zhijing patted her on the shoulder angrily, "Adjutant for you? I am a court lady who is well-behaved, why should I be an adjutant for you? It's my talent, not my skin color, that the empress likes me."

Li Jing and Chen Tang laughed loudly beside them.

But Xue Zhijing was soon slapped in the face because the imperial concubine came.

Xue Zhijing stood in front of the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine asked, "Where is Xiaojing, let Xiaojing come and see me~"

A group of black charcoals in the back covered their mouths and laughed, Yuan Jin stood beside Xue Zhijing, cupped his fists at the imperial concubine and empress, "Your Majesty, look, isn't this Zhijing?"

The noble concubine sized Xue Zhijing from head to toe, her eyes filled with disbelief, "Xiao Jing, you are almost becoming a merchant from the Western Regions, how did you do that? I didn't even recognize you."

"Ma'am, I have to train under the sun for more than five hours every day, and it has become like this after being exposed to the sun." As he said, Xue Zhijing said eagerly, "Ma'am, don't look at me so tanned now, turn around If Bai returns soon after returning to the palace, I have the physique of Yi Bai. And I have practiced riding and archery very well now, and I can compare with Yuan Jin."

Yuan Jin smiled beside her, showing her white teeth, and found Xue Zhijing's anxious look very amused.After all, to her, the imperial concubine is equivalent to the aunt of the family, and she doesn't worry about anything, but Xue Zhijing is really worried that she will lose her job because of her skin color.

"Really?" Hearing that Xue Zhijing said that her horsemanship and archery were comparable to Yuan Jin's, she naturally didn't believe it. She knew that although Yuan Jin was young, she grew up in a schoolyard Yes, like a wild monkey since childhood, Xue Zhijing has only practiced for a long time, so he can compare with her.

However, Yuan Jin also helped Xue Zhijing to speak, "Yes, ma'am, Zhijing is very good, especially riding skills, she seems to be born to grow up on a horse."

Yuan Jin's words aroused the imperial concubine's interest, and the imperial concubine smiled, "Well, let me try you, how about I race a horse with you?"

"???"

"Okay, hurry up, bring your concubine's horse here." Yuan Jin, a master who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, hurriedly called the horseman to bring the imperial concubine's horse.

Although the imperial concubine does not often ride a horse, she is too busy after all, but her horse is still served with delicious food and drinks, and occasionally she has to exercise to maintain her physical fitness, so that the imperial concubine can use it at any time.

Soon, the horse of the imperial concubine was brought.

After training for so long, Xue Zhijing's ability to look at horses has also improved. When he saw the imperial concubine's horse, he knew it was a Maxima imported from the Western Regions, and his face immediately wrinkled into a ball.

The imperial concubine touched her horse, laughed loudly, tied up the wide sleeves of her clothes, tucked the hem around her waist, held onto the saddle, stepped on the stirrups, waved away the maid who wanted to help her get on the horse, and got on the horse .

It's just a little short of breath after getting on the horse.

She raised her chin and patted her palm with the whip, "Xiaojing, come on!"

Xue Zhijing deeply doubted whether the imperial concubine had become playful, and she wanted to run around, so she deliberately dragged her to accompany her.

Let her be.

Rolled on the saddle and pulled the rein.

"Driving~"

The imperial concubine raised her whip, and rushed forward with an excited face, and Xue Zhijing followed with a troubled expression.

Not far behind, Yuan Jin and a group of guards followed.

Although the imperial concubine hasn't ridden a horse for a long time, it can be seen that she may have ridden a horse often in the past. Her riding skills are very good, and with the blessing of the Chollima, she has been running steadily in the distance ahead.

Xue Zhijing could only chase after him vigorously, he couldn't fall too far behind the empress, and was praised by Yuan Jin just now, wouldn't it be a slap in the face if he fell too far behind.

"Woo~" The imperial concubine pulled the reins and stopped by a lake.

Only then did Xue Zhijing catch up and stop beside the noble concubine.

"Compared to your empress, I really feel ashamed."

The imperial concubine was also a little tired, her chest was heaving rapidly, and she waved her whip in the air, "I haven't ridden for a long time~ That year, I also raced horses with others in the imperial garden, and I won the first prize at that time, so I was favored by the emperor." Yes, welcome me into the palace. Although I didn’t have the opportunity to race horses with others, I often love to come to the Imperial Garden for a run. It’s just that I have been busy with government affairs these years, so I have no chance. I just ran for a while and felt my old arm The old legs still seem to be strong."

Xue Zhijing looked at the face of the noble concubine, feeling a little sad.

The noble concubine asked her angrily, "What's your expression? I'm not old yet."

Xue Zhijing quickly smiled, she felt that she was so full that she dared to show a pitiful expression to the leader, and hurriedly took it back, "Ma'am, I thought, you are too busy to have your own life, actually You can really squeeze some time out and keep your hobbies.”

"Hey~ Life!" The imperial concubine sighed, "What kind of life do you want? That's what a little girl has. Now the emperor is seriously ill, the country's finances are beyond its means, domestic natural disasters and man-made disasters are happening one after another, and the Liao Kingdom in the north is eyeing it. Where do I have time? And energy for the so-called life, just indulge once in a while."
