Fan Zongxi added: "Fugui told me that you saved his life back then. If you like to play and watch, come here..."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't even remember!"
Fan Zongxi said: "As soon as we enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. From the moment we enter the palace gate, it seems that we have lived all over again. In fact, there is not much difference between entering the palace and becoming a monk." Fan Zongxi narrowed his eyes.
The vision at this moment seemed empty and ethereal.
Hu Xiaotian nodded with deep sympathy. In fact, in terms of purifying the six roots, entering the palace is more thorough than becoming a monk.
Hongshan Racecourse is the closest racecourse to the imperial city and one of the palace racecourses. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with rich water and grass. It is a rare quiet place in Kangdu. Usually all the horses used by the royal family are fostered here. The racecourse is run by the royal family.
The horse supervisor is responsible for the management, and Fan Zongxi is the specific person in charge here. He spends more time here than in the palace.
Pass through the bustling streets of Kangdu, go straight out of the west gate, and go north along the boulevard for about fifteen miles. You can already see the Hongshan Racecourse. The racecourse is surrounded by fir fences, about two feet high, with the top sharpened.
, there is a sentry tower every hundred feet, with guards stationed above it day and night.
When Fan Zongxi and his party were still more than a mile away from the gate of the racecourse, the gate of the racecourse had been slowly opened. Fan Zongxi took the lead and was the first to enter the racecourse. Although it was already the Mid-Autumn Festival, the grass of the racecourse was still green and green, and it spread into the distance when looking from a distance.
At the foot of Red Mountain, the top of Red Mountain has been dyed red by autumn colors. From a distance, it looks like the top of the mountain is on fire. In fact, the top of the mountain is covered with red maples. By this season, the maple leaves have completely turned red, so the formation of
Such a spectacle.
A small river is winding and rugged, like a golden ribbon lingering at the foot of the Red Mountain in the sun, outlining a clear boundary between the two different colors of red and green. The sky is as clear as a wash. There is no cloud, and the cool autumn wind is blowing.
, mixed with the fragrance of wild flowers, makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Two knights flew toward Fan Zongxi on Pegasus. They were both deacons and eunuchs of the Royal Horse Inspector. When they were still about ten feet away from Fan Zongxi, they got off their horses, knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "I see you, Young Inspector Fan!"
Fan Zongxi narrowed his eyes and waved the hand holding the riding crop gently: "Get up! Where is Dong Taiqing?"
The eunuch on the right said: "For your information, Mr. Young Eunuch, fifty horses were recently sent as tribute from Western Xinjiang. Including the newly selected batch, there are more than a hundred batches in total. In the past two days, there has been a steady stream of horses coming from the palace.
"Nevertheless. Eunuch Dong is accompanying me at Qingfengkou to pick horses."
Fan Zong said happily: "Who is coming?"
The eunuch said: "Third Prince!"
Fan Zongxi heard that the visitor was Long Tingzhen, the third prince. He pondered for a moment and then urged his horse to head towards Qingfengkou. Longtingzhen was the third son of the new emperor Long Yelin, and the one he loved most.
Long Yelin had seven children in total, six sons and one daughter. The daughter was Qiqi, whom Hu Xiaotian escorted all the way to Xiezhou. After Long Yelin ascended the throne, he began to consider the candidate for the crown prince. This can be regarded as gaining wisdom from every step.
He learned a lesson from his father. In order to prevent harem fights, choosing the prince as early as possible can save a lot of trouble. Looking at his seven children, the one who ranks first in terms of martial arts and scheming is the third son Long Tingzhen.
Many close friends also agreed with his idea, but Longtingzhen was not born to Queen Jian, and making him the crown prince would break the rule of eldest son's succession. Queen Jian gave birth to his eldest sons Long Tingsheng and Long Ye.
Although Lin disliked his eldest son's violent and reckless temperament, he was the eldest son of his wife after all, and Long Yelin himself inherited the throne based on the order of elders and younger ones. He could not break the rules after he ascended the throne, so he could only temporarily suspend the appointment of the crown prince.
The matter was adjourned for later discussion.
Qingfengkou is located at the foot of Hongshan Mountain. More than a hundred horses recently introduced to the racecourse are kept here. Dong Taiqing, the deacon and eunuch of the racecourse, is accompanying the third prince Longtingzhen. Longtingzhen is 21 years old this year. He is tall and tall.
, handsome in appearance, currently standing on the grass hill observing the horses grazing by the river, with several followers behind him.
Fan Zongxi, Hu Xiaotian and his entourage came to the grassy hill and dismounted from their horses. They all knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "Royal Horse Supervisor Fan Zongxi comes to see His Royal Highness the Prince." Although Long Tingzhen is the prince, he has not yet been crowned king. It should be Long Yelin.
I learned a lesson from what happened between myself and this group of brothers, and I was particularly careful when it came to conferring the title of king.
Long Tingzhen put his hands behind his back, still staring at the horses in the distance, and said absently: "Get up, Fan Zongxi, can you help me see which horse is the best?"
Fan Zongxi stood up, and Hu Xiaotian and others who were following him all stood up.
Hu Xiaotian then took a closer look at the newly minted third prince. He said that Mayor Long Ting was handsome and handsome, and somewhat similar to Zhou Wang Long Yefang. But he didn’t know if he was the same as Long Yefang.
They are all characters with good looks but bad looks. Longting Town didn’t feel very special to Hu Xiaotian, but when Hu Xiaotian saw the two people behind Longting Town, he couldn’t help but be surprised. But when he saw Longting
A little eunuch behind the town looked at him with a wink. The little eunuch had delicate features and a childish look on his face. He was dressed like the little princess Qiqi.
Hu Xiaotian felt regretful when he saw Qiqi actually here. If he had known that he would meet her here, he would never have followed Fan Zongxi to the Hongshan Racecourse.
The person standing side by side with Qiqi originally had her back to Hu Xiaotian. At this time, she slowly turned her face. She was also wearing a blue eunuch uniform, but she could not hide her natural beauty. Her features were picturesque, and her eyes were constantly changing.
This style is none other than Princess Anping that Hu Xiaotian disturbed in Chuxiu Palace.
At this moment, Hu Xiaotian felt a cold air rising up from his back. What happened today? He actually met them here? Princess Anping didn't expose herself in Chuxiu Palace that day. With her kind and gentle temperament, she shouldn't embarrass him.
, but Qiqi’s unruly little girl was elusive. Wei Hualin died due to the joint efforts of him and Qiqi. From that day on, Hu Xiaotian deliberately avoided meeting Qiqi. Fortunately, she did not take the initiative to find him.
I thought that everyone knew about this matter and everyone would avoid meeting each other in the future, but I didn't expect that we would meet here after all. I hope Qiqi will not cause trouble for herself again.
Princess Anping obviously recognized Hu Xiaotian, and her pretty face turned red for no reason, becoming even more bright and colorful.
For the first time, Hu Xiaotian felt that being a eunuch was such a wonderful industry. Even a beautiful woman like Princess Anping, who was famous all over the country, joined this prosperous industry. It seemed that being a eunuch also had great potential.
Qiqi immediately beamed when she saw Hu Xiaotian, but Hu Xiaotian felt frightened because of her weird smile. He lowered his head and had the urge to grease his soles and turn around and run away quickly. But now that he is here, he can't just leave.
Longtingzhen pointed to a maroon horse among the horses and said, "How about that horse?"
Fan Zongxi looked in the direction he pointed and complimented: "His Royal Highness really has good eyesight. That horse is a Dawan horse sent as tribute from Western Xinjiang. It can travel thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred in a night. It is a very powerful horse."
Long Tingzhen smiled and nodded and said: "Okay, bring that horse over to me, I want to test its leg strength.
Fan Zongxi quickly arranged for his men to do it. At this moment, Qiqi walked to Hu Xiaotian and coughed deliberately. Hu Xiaotian bowed even lower, pretending not to see her.
Qiqi reached out and grabbed his ear: "Hey, you don't know me?" One sentence attracted everyone's attention. Hu Xiaotian said: "Mr...." He wanted to say princess
Your Highness, Qiqi interrupted him with a cold snort.
This guy suddenly had an idea: "What are your orders, father-in-law?"
Qiqi couldn't help laughing when she heard him calling her father-in-law.
Fan Zongxi has been in the palace for many years. Although he does not know Qiqi, he does know Princess Anping. He can tell at a glance that the two young eunuchs following Longting Town are all dressed up by women. From Qiqi's style
Looking at it, he vaguely guessed that she was probably the princess of the current dynasty, otherwise no young eunuch would have the courage to be so bold in front of the third prince, so Fan Zongxi did not interrupt.
Longtingzhen glanced at Qiqi and didn't say much. He saw that someone had already brought the maroon Dawan horse over, so he stepped forward to meet him. A group of people escorted Longtingzhen like stars holding the moon.
passed.
Hu Xiaotian was still standing there, his ears were grabbed by Qiqi, and he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
"Qiqi! Don't embarrass him!" It was Princess Anping who spoke for Hu Xiaotian.
Qiqi then let go. When Hu Xiaotian saw that there was no one else around, he bowed deeply to the two of them and said, "Thank you so much, Princess Anping!"
Qiqi Liu's eyebrows stood up and he said, "Why don't you thank me? You only thank my aunt?"
Princess Anping said: "Qiqi, he is just a young eunuch, you don't have to embarrass him."
Qiqi glared at Hu Xiaotian and said, "Little eunuch, aunt, you don't know him well. He is definitely not a good person."
Hu Xiaotian looked embarrassed. This little princess spoke so disrespectfully. I am not a good person, so what kind of good person are you? You also had a share in killing Wei Hualin. Not only did you have a share, you were also the principal culprit, and I was an accomplice at best.
Princess Anping smiled gently and said, "Look, you scared him so much that his face turned pale. Let's go and watch the excitement." This sentence resolved Hu Xiaotian's embarrassment.
Hu Xiaotian protested in his heart, when was I scared? My face was pale? My face was not red, my heart was not beating, I just didn’t want to be like this unruly princess. The three of them walked down the grass hill together, and a black horse on the river bank attracted Qi
Looking at Qi, she immediately forgot about Hu Xiaotian beside her, and said happily: "Bring me that horse!" After all, she had the temperament of a child, and she galloped towards the black horse.
Princess Anping was helpless, smiled and shook her head.
Hu Xiaotian was still walking respectfully beside her. Princess Anping's eyes fell on him and she said softly: "Aren't you from Siyuan Bureau? When were you transferred here?"
It's a bit far away from the top three, and only 150 votes away from fourth place. It's almost the end of the month, and you must have a lot of monthly tickets in your pockets. Octopus is going to blackmail you hard. He just needs to rush to fourth place today.
Three more updates! Octopus has decided not to go anywhere this weekend. He is squatting at home and immersed in typing. Brothers and sisters, as long as you dare to support me, Octopus dares to be brilliant. If you don’t believe me, let’s give it a try! (To be continued)
