Yes, the emperor was admonishing, or threatening, Feng Qingchen. As soon as the conversation ended, he told Feng Qingchen that he must win, bring glory to the country, and not lose the reputation of the noble lady of Dongling.
Feng Qingchen was scolding her in her heart, but her face showed genuine fear.
Damn... I obviously didn't care about her competition with the Su family before, so why did this group escalate the matter to a national level? Then her winning or losing is no longer a personal issue.
But, when can she, Feng Qingchen, represent the Lady of Dongling? Has the Emperor ever asked the Lady of Dongling and her wishes?
Even if the Lady of Aventurine is willing to be represented by a notorious woman like her, she is not willing to represent the Lady of Aventurine as the mascot of Aventurine. If she wins, she will be honored by the country, if she loses, she will lose her life.
Uncle Nine Emperors was listening on the sidelines, with a faint smile on his cold face, full of sarcasm, and gave the emperor a meaningful look.
Seeing that the effect he wanted was achieved, the emperor waved his hand and said, "The competition begins!"
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the concubines behind the screen finally showed their smiles. A few of them had an unknown light shining in their eyes. Unfortunately, they were blocked by the screen. In addition, these women were all the emperor's women, so no one would take a serious look at them.
They want to avoid any misunderstanding.
Both Feng Qingchen and Su Rou used their own horses. The imperial guards came forward and took Feng Qingchen and Su Rou to the competition venue. At the entrance, Feng Qingchen saw Zhai Dongming in armor winking at her.
The general idea was to reassure her that he was responsible for the safety of the racecourse. He had checked everything and there were no problems.
Feng Qingchen smiled back and did not say that the real threat at the racecourse was Su Rou beside her. There was no use in checking her.
Seeing Su Rou's confident look, Feng Qingchen knew that Su Rou had confidence in her hypnosis skills and believed that she would win this round. Thinking of the emperor's warning before the game started, Feng Qingchen laughed sarcastically.
It seemed that she had to win this competition. Otherwise, if the emperor found a reason to blame her, the one who suffered the loss would definitely be the Nine Emperors Uncle. Because she had suffered a loss from the emperor, the Nine Emperors Uncle would definitely take it back from her.
so……
Su Rou, the future concubine, I, Feng Qingchen, will definitely win today’s competition!
At the starting line, Feng Qingchen and Su Rou, under the command of Ling Qi, mounted their horses almost at the same time. Seeing Su Rou's strong skills, Feng Qingchen knew that the other's riding skills were not bad either.
Also, if you can still win against her if you are too cool, then everyone can tell that there is something fishy, and Su Rou will lose face even if she wins.
There were no fancy preparations, only the guards standing on the high tower waved a command flag again. As soon as the command flag was raised, Feng Qingchen and Su Rou pinched the horse's belly and urged the horse to run.
The clatter of horse hoofs sounded, and the people on the viewing platform could only see a burst of dust flying, and the figures of Feng Qingchen and Su Rou had turned into two shadows.
"It's true that women are not inferior to men." Zhou Wang saw the crowd chasing the two beautiful figures on the horse road. He thought that the lively atmosphere was exaggerated, but he didn't expect that his words were like pieces of paper thrown into the water, without even a ripple.
King Zhou looked at the emperor, then at Uncle Nine Emperors, and obediently shrank aside and said nothing.
The smile in Wang Jinling's eyes remained unchanged, and he took in all the expressions of everyone. He no longer cared about the dark face of Uncle Nine Emperors, and only saw the dark shadow on the horse road.
When Feng Qingchen and Su Rou competed, they had to run not on the horse track on the horse training ground, but on the horse track built along the mountains and forests. It was usually used by the emperor for viewing. In other words, in order to increase the chance of seeing
Nature, some obstacles will be set up on the horse path to please the emperor.
Of course, these obstacles are not fatal, they just add to the viewing pleasure and make it a little more difficult. After all, the emperor has no intention of using the palace's racecourse to train cavalry.
Feng Qingchen and Su Rou ran five hundred meters before they encountered the first obstacle, an obstacle similar to a plum blossom pile.
As thick as a thigh, wooden stakes of varying heights were driven densely into the ground, and the gaps between them were just big enough for the horse's legs to pass through.
At this time, the horse control skills will be tested. How to make the horse's four front and rear legs step into the most appropriate position at the most appropriate time. Of course, speed is also important. If you let the horse go slowly, it will only waste time.
.
Su Rou ran in front. When she saw these stakes from a distance, she slowed down and tightened the horse's rope with both hands. She also leaned forward and put her hands next to the horse's ears to comfort the horse as it sat down.
Su Rou's equestrian skills are really not about covering the ground. She quickly beats the horse forward. Su Rou is very smart. She never lets the horse touch the ground with all four limbs at the same time. Instead, she tries to use the gap time to find the right place for the horse to put its foot down and maximize the speed.
forward speed.
Su Rou's doing this will definitely not affect her speed too much, but she forgot that the person she was competing with in riding skills today was not a normal lady at all, at least she couldn't think of Feng Qingchen in the same way as a normal lady.
When Su Rou's horse stepped into the first gap, Feng Qingchen rushed over. He didn't slow down as everyone expected. When Feng Qingchen saw the obstacle in front of him, he didn't even blink and raised his riding whip.
, so hard that he took a slap.
"Drive!" The horse suddenly accelerated, at least nearly twice as fast as in the first half.
"What does Feng Qingchen want to do? It's still early, even if it's a little behind now, it doesn't matter." Although they are far apart, they sit high up. Although the Taifu is not young, he can still see through their clothes.
Find out who is who.
"Feng Qingchen is crazy. That section of pile is at least twenty meters long, and a horse can't jump over it at all."
"Believe Qingchen, she has her own considerations." Wang Jinling was also worried about Feng Qingchen, but he believed in Feng Qingchen even more and believed that Feng Qingchen would not act recklessly.
On the viewing platform, except for the emperor, everyone else's eyes were firmly locked on Feng Qingchen. Although Uncle Nine Emperors didn't say anything, you could tell from his expression that he was also worried.
Those wooden stakes vary in height and size. If one of them misses the mark, Feng Qingchen will fall off the horse. If he falls on the wooden stake, he will be seriously injured even if he does not die.
Nanling Jinxing, as the prince of Nanling, could not express his worries even though he was worried. He could only clench his fists tightly to suppress the tension and worry in his heart.
The concubines in the harem did not have these scruples. Although it was not good-looking for a woman to yell, this was at a racetrack, and being too reserved would only make her less heroic. So the concubines boldly cheered for Feng Qingchen.
Feng Qingchen couldn't hear or feel the sound of cheers or the worries of everyone. All her attention was focused on the wooden stakes in front of her. When the horse accelerated forward, everyone only saw a
There was a shadow and a neighing sound.
The shadow first fell backward, then fell forward violently, and then jumped...
There were just three phantoms, but everyone looked at them with fear, and their hearts seemed to be tightened. Their bodies leaned forward involuntarily, and their buttocks left their seats at some point.
They all wanted to know whether Feng Qingchen rushed over these wooden stakes, or whether the horse's hoof missed the mark and Feng Qingchen fell off the horse...
