More than ten days later, when the flesh wounds on Yan Jiangxuan's legs were almost healed, envoys from various countries gradually arrived in Beijing.
Emperor Chu's birthday is coming, and they are all here to attend the longevity banquet.
On the day of the longevity banquet, Sheng Tingyuan, his wife and children, and Zhou Xiruo went to the palace to celebrate his birthday. They went early. Sheng Tingyuan took his son to greet his colleagues, while Sun Lanyi was summoned by the Queen Mother.
She took Zhou Xiruo to the Empress Dowager's Ci'en Palace. After receiving a few compliments from the Empress Dowager and receiving a reward, the Empress Dowager asked the eunuch to lead her to the racecourse.
"I haven't been back to Lin'an for many days. You mother and daughter haven't seen each other for a long time. You go and see her first."
After Sun Lanyi thanked her, she took Zhou Xiruo and followed the little eunuch to the racecourse. The little eunuch beside the queen mother was very sweet and flattered Sun Lanyi without making anyone feel embarrassed.
Both the Queen Mother's grace and the young eunuch's attitude showed that Sheng Nuan was favored in front of the Queen Mother and even in the palace.
Zhou Xiruo had been accompanying her with a faint smile, but from the beginning to the end, whether he had just met the Queen Mother or the young eunuch now, it seemed as if he had not seen her as a person.
She couldn't help but think that if her father did not save Sheng Tingyuan and it was her father who survived on the battlefield, then it might not be her who is being raised by the Queen Mother and being flattered by the eunuchs and maids in the palace.
It was her mother who died of illness.
Sun Lanyi remained calm, but she could see the slightly stiff smile on Zhou Xiruo's lips.
If she had received a reward from the Queen Mother in the past, she would definitely give it to Zhou Xiruo. They were all members of her own family... But since the last incident, Sun Lanyi has changed.
People are very strange. If you give her too much and she gets it too easily, she will gradually feel that it is what she should be doing and that you owe her.
Zhou Xiruo's father was her husband's deputy general, and his duty on the battlefield was to lead troops to cover the vanguard team led by her husband.
Later, the war was won and Zhou's father died in the battle. Her husband thought that Zhou's father was from the same hometown and had an old mother, a weak wife and young children at home, so he requested an order to reward her, saying that Zhou's father died in the battle to cover him when he charged.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, Zhou Xiruo came to the door with the original token.
Sheng Tingyuan thought that there was no one in the Zhou family, leaving only an orphan girl, and the Duke Protector's Palace had no shortage of food, so he raised her in the palace. Seeing that Zhou Xiruo was well-educated and well-behaved, he called her his cousin.
.
Sun Lanyi never thought about it too much, but unexpectedly, the calm and gentle person she usually looked at turned out to be someone with a high heart.
Seeing Zhou Xiruo's somewhat stiff smile, Sun Lanyi retracted her gaze and moved forward...
If she lives in peace in the future, it's just a matter of finding a match to marry her off. But if she refuses to live in peace, there are ways to treat her!
After a while, Sun Lanyi and Zhou Xiruo arrived at the racecourse. As soon as they approached, they heard cheers from the other side of the racecourse.
The princes and princesses are practicing riding and shooting.
Sun Lanyi tried her best to find her daughter on tiptoe, while Zhou Xiruo quietly looked for the third prince Yan Jiangrong.
On the racecourse opposite, no one noticed them. Everyone was looking at the bloody horse being led onto the stage by the groom.
The silver mane glows with silver like flowing water. Just by looking at the body shape, you can tell that it is a rare and talented horse.
The third prince, Yan Jiangrong, smiled and said to Sheng Nuan, "I am willing to admit defeat. This is a lucky draw."
A few days ago, the Seventh Prince Yan Jiangcheng proposed on a whim that each of his book boys should have a little competition, and the Third Prince would be responsible for winning the prize.
The prize given by Yan Jiangrong was a bloody horse that he had just obtained.
Everyone was very greedy, but they all knew that the prize must belong to Pei Yu... and Pei Yu belonged to the third prince.
Just go out with the left hand and go in with the right hand.
However, during the competition, everyone was surprised to find that Pei Jing, who was wearing simple and shabby clothes, was actually so good.
Whether it was riding skills or archery skills, he firmly dominated his brother Pei Yu and finally won the game.
Today, the third prince gave out the promised prize.
Pei Yu took the sweaty horse with no hair on it from the groom and walked towards Sheng Nuan and Pei Jing behind her. Yan Jiangrong smiled and said: "This horse is called Ta Yue. It has a very fierce temper. Nuan
Nuan should let others tame him first before riding him."
Pei Yu smiled and handed the horse to Pei Jing: "I will leave the horse to my fifth brother. My fifth brother has great riding skills and will be able to train Tayue for the princess."
Pei Jing glanced at Pei Yu, whose smile didn't reach his eyes, and got on his horse.
There was an angry neigh, and the next moment, the sweaty horse jumped up like crazy and tried to throw Pei Jing off the horse...
Everyone was watching the horse taming scene with excitement. At this time, Sheng Nuan heard the customer service reminder: "Host, the horse has been fed medicine, and Pei Yu wants to destroy Pei Jing."
Almost at the next moment, the already agitated sweaty BMW roared angrily again, standing upright with its upper body, swinging and jumping on the spot like crazy, and even crashed straight into the fence beside the racecourse.
Pei Yu raised the corners of her lips and looked at the third prince with an expression that was half-smiling but not smiling.
The people around him also watched intently, astonished by the ferocity of the good horse.
At this moment, the sweaty horse suddenly kicked its hind legs and jumped up, knocking Pei Jing forward on its back... At the same time, it jerked its neck, subconsciously trying to hug Pei Jing by the horse's neck.
Jing was immediately thrown off his horse.
Seeing that the iron hooves of the bloody horse were about to fall on Pei Jing's head, everyone suddenly screamed. At this moment, a red figure flew over.
Sheng Nuan picked up Pei Jing and threw it out. He grabbed the horse's rein and dropped it directly onto the horse's back... Holding a hairpin between his other fingers, he leaned over and stabbed it directly into the horse's back.
The bloody horse screamed, jumped wildly on the spot a few times, and in the next moment, rushed forward.
Sheng Nuan tightened the reins of the horse and leaned over to clamp the horse's belly. A moment later, the horse, which had been going crazy just now, spread its hooves and started galloping around the field.
Someone exclaimed: "It's done..."
The smile on Pei Yu's lips suddenly froze, and he subconsciously turned to look at the third prince: "Your Highness."
Yan Jiangrong looked at the opposite side with some confusion.
Under the blue sky and the scorching sun, a girl in a dark red riding uniform is sitting on a horse, her features and eyes are more intensely beautiful and unruly than the scorching sun...
Sheng Nuan reined in the horse, and the horse slowed down and walked slowly in front of Yan Jiang Rong.
Sheng Nuan curled her lips and said condescendingly: "Thank you, Third Highness, for your generous gift of the BMW."
Yan Jiangrong smiled: "You earned this yourself, so there is no need to say thank you."
Sheng Nuan jumped off the horse and threw the reins to Pei Jing: "A Jing, I leave it to you."
The moment Pei Jing bowed and took the reins of the horse, he saw a bloody mouth spreading from the side of the girl's palm... He had just forcibly taken the crazy horse away from him, but she was not as relaxed as it seemed. www

If it weren't for her, he might have been trampled to pieces by the crazy horse just now...
Pei Jing pursed his lips, but did not dare to raise his head, pulling Tayue and turning around to leave.
At this time, Sheng Nuan saw Sun Lanyi and Zhou Xiruo and immediately smiled: "Mother."
Yan Jiangrong turned around and gave Zhou Xiruo a sad look.
With just one glance, Zhou Xiruo bowed his head in greeting... She could clearly see the look in the third prince's eyes when he looked at Sheng Nuan on horseback.
When he vaguely mentioned the struggle for power and treasure in front of her, he also had that look in his eyes: He wanted to pretend to be gentle and harmless, but he couldn't hide the passion and greed in his heart.
It's like everything he wants in the world should belong to him!
