Chapter 43 Chapter Forty-Two

Thirteenth, Minmin jumped off the horse, turned around and looked at Minmin who turned over and said slowly: "Gege! Please raise your hand, Thirteen is grateful!" After finishing speaking, Dingding stared at Minmin. Minmin stopped in her tracks, looked back at Shishi and me who had just dismounted, glanced across our faces, and turned back to look at Shisan. Shisan, who was dressed in a tight-fitting white riding suit with silver trim and a black iron longbow on his back, stood beside the black steed. Under the sunlight, his figure was noble and handsome, and his whole body was imposing.His gaze was as clear and gentle as a lake in spring, and his eyes were full of pleading, expectation, and belief.

Minmin stared at Thirteen obsessively, turning into a stone pillar. Kangxi, who came slowly on his horse, got off his horse and asked, "What's going on?" Fourteen and I hurriedly bowed down to say hello, but Shisan and Minmin didn't move, and they still looked at each other fixedly.Kangxi waved us up casually, and looked at Shisan and Minmin suspiciously.I looked sideways at them, clenched my fists, my palms were wet and greasy. Seeing that Kangxi got off the horse, the ministers who came after him also jumped off the horse in a hurry.The fourth elder brother glanced across our faces with a thoughtful face, and landed on Shisan and Minmin.The eighth elder brother looked at me and Shisi with worry in his eyes, and also looked at Shisan and Minmin.

Prince Suwan Guerjia had already shouted before dismounting: "Minmin, why don't you greet the emperor?" He smiled and said to Kangxi: "This girl is always pampered by me, and she spends all day on the grassland. Ladies, you don’t know etiquette very well!” Only then did Minmin turn her head to look away, and leaned over to greet Kangxi.Thirteen smiled, turned around and saluted Kangxi.Kangxi asked them to get up, looked at Minmin and asked gently: "Why is your face so angry? Did Yinxiang bully you?" I clenched my fists and held my breath to listen. Minmin smiled and said, "It's just that Minmin wants to race horses with Ruoxi! Elder Thirteen disagrees, so we argued a little bit." Fourteen and I looked at each other in surprise, looking at Thirteen, he was also confused, I can't even guess what Minmin wants to do.

Kangxi looked at Shisan and asked with a smile: "Why don't you agree? Although Ruoxi has not been learning horses for a long time, it's okay to have a competition!" Before Shisan could reply, Minmin bowed and said, "The emperor has approved Minmin and Is Ruoxi a horse race?" Prince Suwan Guerjia shouted: "Minmin! Don't mess around!" Kangxi glanced at me with a smile, then looked at Prince Suwan Guerjia and said, "Manchurians are originally people on horseback. Let them compare and we can have fun too. It's not a nonsense!" The guards on the side listened, Busy to get ready.

Minmin got up and walked to me, but looked at Shisan and said in a low voice: "For brother Shisan's sake, I'll give you a chance! If you win, put everything aside. If you lose, Then I can only tell the emperor. But no one can blame me!" Fourteen snorted coldly: "This is considered an opportunity? Why don't you compare with me?" Minmin looked at us with a smile on his lips, stared at me and said, "Go and pick a horse! Don't lose It's too ugly! This time I won't let you on purpose like last year!" Shisan approached, stared at Min Min and nodded with a smile: "Thank you Ge Ge!" Min Min smiled slightly and walked away.Thirteen frowned slightly, with a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth, looked at me and Fourteen and said, "Just do your best! Don't be afraid of losing! There's me too!" After finishing speaking, he turned and mounted his horse to chase Min Min, muttering : "I only hope that my 'beauty trick' will work!"

No matter how dark the clouds were, I couldn't help but a wry smile escaped from the corner of my mouth.well!Pick a horse and go! The eighth elder brother looked at Fourteen with doubts in his eyes, and Fourteen shook his head slightly at him. He frowned slightly and looked at me, lowering his eyes in thought.The fourth prince looked at Shisan's back and frowned slightly, but the prince's eyes kept wandering on the faces of Shisan and me.Everyone was thinking differently, Kangxi got on the horse and said: "Let's go first, let them pick the horse and come over!" After hearing this, all the elder brothers got on the horse one after another and followed Kangxi.

Fourteen accompanied me to choose a horse carefully, and both of them were silent!When we rode to the venue, Kangxi, Prince Suwan Guerjia, Prince Edward, Si Age and Ba Age had all sat down in the tent. Minmin was already waiting for me at the starting point, accompanied by Shisan, who was smiling and talking to Minmin, who listened attentively with a smile on her lips.Seeing us coming, they all stopped and looked at us. Fourteen whispered: "Don't force it!" I nodded slightly, looked at Minmin with a smile and asked, "Ge Ge counts? If I win, Ge Ge will forgive me. Putting everything aside, we are still friends!"

Minmin smiled proudly: "That's right! We prairie people admire those who are good at riding horses the most. If you win, you can beat my horse skills after learning from you for a few months, and I won't care about it!" I nodded and didn't speak again.Thirteen and Fourteen glanced at each other and rode away.The guard standing on the side bowed and asked for instructions: "Gege, can we start?" Minmin looked at me sideways, and I took a deep breath and said, "It's done!" With a bang 'Go! ’, Minmin’s horse and I galloped out.I held the rein tightly with one hand and urged the horse with the whip with the other. Unfortunately, my skills were inferior to others. I gradually began to lag behind. Half head, half body, Min Min urged the horse to run, staring at the front and laughing: "I'm sorry! I want to One step ahead!" After speaking, she clamped the horse with her legs, and the whip cracked in the air, and her horse had already passed me, so I could only look at her back.

I stared at her back as she was getting further and further away, and with a heartless heart, I threw off the whip, reached out and pulled the hairpin from her head, tightened the rein tightly, making sure that she would never let go, then gritted my teeth, gripped the hairpin tightly It hit the buttocks of the horse, only to hear the horse neighing, the front hooves were raised sharply, and suddenly rushed up.I held the rein tightly, clamped the horse with my legs as hard as I could, and went with it bumping. Minmin looked at me rushing up from the side, with surprise on her face, and hurriedly hit the horse, but my horse was bleeding profusely and galloped in pain, how could her horse be able to catch up, and her horse seemed a little afraid of this horse being injured The wild horse behind me didn't listen to Minmin's order and gave way to my horse.Minmin gradually lagged behind, and I was already dizzy from the jolt, she shouted from behind: "Are you crazy?! I'm not afraid that the horse will throw you to death!"

The finish line is approaching, but Minmin has not seen it. It seems that I have won. I seem to have been thrown by the horse so that my skeleton is soft, and my brain is slow to react. Can't let it knock me down. The horse blew across the finish line like a gust of wind, but I couldn't let it stop, I could only let it run wildly, guards were standing in front of the tent, beware of my horse's startled drive.The prince, the fourth elder brother, the eighth elder brother, and the ninth elder brother all rushed out of the tent. When I passed by the tent, my eyes were still confused, and I saw this scene clearly.The sound of horseshoes behind me is urgent, it seems that there are many horses chasing me!I thought to myself, it seems that nothing will happen to me, as long as I insist on not falling off the horse before being rescued.

Strange to say, I was not afraid at all, and even had a faint thrilling feeling, like riding a roller coaster, although it was extremely thrilling, it was extremely exhilarating!Probably because the life in the Forbidden City is too depressing, or because I know that life is not in danger anyway.I just feel dizzy and dizzy, and it turns out to be quite enjoyable pleasure to be in a mess. When the guards closed in front and back, restrained the horse with a harness, and Fourteen helped me down, I already saw three or four double images of everything. I saw three anxious faces of Fourteen lined up in front of my eyes, and saw fourteen again. The three mouths opened and closed at the same time, I couldn't hear what he was saying, but I just thought it was funny, and I couldn't help laughing while leaning on his arm. Shisan and Minmin came in a hurry, and saw the three doubled faces of Thirteen, and the four faces of Minmin, whose mouths were also opening and closing. I leaned on Fourteen and laughed and said: "It's so fun I didn’t expect to see such a comedic effect after the excitement is over!” Pointing at Minmin, he shouted, “I won! Don’t play tricks!” The laughter didn't stop, Fourteen had already got on the horse with me in his arms, he didn't dare to gallop, he just rode the horse slowly, I just shook my head while lying in his arms, and raised my hand to check whether it was still a double image. Slowly, I began to hear Fourteen's indistinct voice, which gradually became clearer: "Ruoxi, Ruoxi, are you okay?" The hands also gradually became three-in-one, and there was no double image. I sighed and thought there was nothing fun to do!Said to Fourteen: "I'm very good! If you can make me sit up straight instead of crouching like this, it will be even better!" Fourteen suddenly reined in the reins, looked down at me, and I smiled back at him, and he asked, "Can you hear what I'm saying?" I nodded and said with a smile, "Can you hear what I'm saying?" ?” He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank God!" Shisan and Minmin who were following behind caught up and also shouted: "Amituofo!" I heard Minmin's voice, straightened up in a hurry, and looked at her nervously, before Minmin waited for me to speak, she hurriedly said: "You really have a 'desperate' temper like Brother Thirteen said! Don't worry. Let’s go! I’ll never mention that thing again! Just pretend it never happened! It’s really scary!” She looked at Shisan with a smile and said, “Actually, I already thought about it when I picked the horse, no I will tell the emperor, I just want to scare you again! I am so angry that you lied to me!" I glanced at Shisan, Shisan smiled helplessly, and blinked at me, the 'beauty trick' took effect!I guess the price is that I said a lot of bad things!The fame of fighting and drinking has drifted from the Forbidden City to the grasslands! I was about to get off the horse, but Fourteen hurriedly got off the horse and helped me down.Shisan and Minmin rode on the horse and looked at me. I straightened my dress casually and kowtowed to Minmin. Minmin hurriedly jumped off the horse, supported me, and said angrily, "Since I said it, don't blame me. for what?" I stood up and said, "Ge Ge doesn't blame me, Ge Ge is magnanimous. But the servant girl did make a big mistake, so naturally I should kowtow to Ge Ge." Just as he was talking, Wang Xi came hurriedly on his horse, jumped off the horse, greeted Shisan and Fourteen again, and said to Thirteen and Fourteen: "Long live Lord and Wang Ye are worried! The two masters hurry back and give Long live Lord first." Call me back!" Thirteen smiled on the horse, "I'm sorry to trouble you, father-in-law! Let's go!" Fourteen asked, "Can you ride a horse?" I smiled and nodded, "Just ride slowly!" Fourteen led his horse Come over and say: "You can ride this one!" I took the reins, and he turned around and led another horse from the guard. It was only then that I saw that the horse I was riding first had blood stains on most of its legs, which was quite shocking. I felt that I was also cruel, so I quickly turned my head and said: "When I go back, I will find a better groom to take care of it." The guard at the side watched me watch the horse, hurried forward a few steps, and offered the hairpin with both hands. Although it had been wiped clean, I turned my head and said, "Throw it away! I don't want it anymore!" The guard was stunned, not knowing how to react, Fourteen took the hairpin casually, and waved his hand to make him retreat. Thirteen immediately laughed and said, "I don't dare to watch it now! Tie your head up first, it's really merciless!" I didn't answer his words, got on the horse, and the four of them jogged away. After entering the big tent, the four hurriedly greeted Kangxi.The fourth elder brother and eighth elder brother on the side looked me up and down, and then turned their gazes to Thirteen and Fourteen respectively.Kangxi stared at me and said, "Are you hurt?" I replied respectfully, "No!" Kangxi nodded and said angrily: "Is there anyone who wants to win so much?" I hurriedly knelt down and bowed my head and said, "I know my mistake!" Minmin also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it's none of her business. I compare." Kangxi asked: "What on earth did you bet on? Ruoxi must win?" Prince Suwan Guerjia said 'Minmin' before he could stop him, but Minmin blurted out: "There is nothing to bet on." Looking at Ama with an annoyed expression. Kangxi looked at me and said in a cold voice: "Ruoxi has been by my side for many years, if there is no reason why she must win, how can she act like this just for the sake of winning or losing?" There was no sound in the big tent, I bowed my head and knelt quietly on the ground, my mind was running fast, but I didn't have a suitable idea.Kangxi is worthy of being Kangxi, he knows little things, it is really not easy to hide it from him, could it be that he really can't pass this hurdle today?
