There is Room For the Poor Daughter

"Is there something the princess wants to do with me?"

Daohua came to the stand with Princess Lekang and looked at her puzzled.

She doesn't seem to have any friendship with this princess, not only not, but because of the Jiang family's relationship, maybe there will be a bit of hatred, what is she doing to herself?

Princess Lekang looked at Daohua and said, "Xiao Yeyang spoke to this princess before, but this princess doesn't like to owe favor. Yesterday, I got a piece of news by chance, thought about it, and felt that I should tell him, it's a repayment of favor. "

Daohua listened quietly and did not speak.

Princess Lekang continued: "My father has not agreed to the request of the first prince of Xiliao for marriage. Xiliao has already guessed that it is impossible to marry Princess Daxia."

"However, in order to ensure a friendly relationship with Daxia, they are going to take the second place and marry the seventh princess who came to the capital this time to the Daxia royal family."

Daohua's heart moved, but she still didn't speak.

Princess Lekang glanced at Daohua: "As far as I know, the person whom the Seventh Princess of Xi Liao likes is likely to be Xiao Yeyang."

Daohua's brows jumped: "I'm afraid the princess has made a mistake? Princess Xiliao is also married to a prince, so what's the matter with marrying Xiao Yeyang?"

Princess Lekang looked at Daohua and didn't answer.

In general, it does.

But if someone intervenes, that's not necessarily the case.

Thinking of going to the Cining Palace yesterday to greet the Queen Mother and overhearing the conversation between the Queen Mother and Duke Chengen, Princess Lekang felt a little flustered.

For their own sake, the Jiang family actually cooperated with the people of Xiliao in private!

Just because Jiang Wanying failed to marry Xiao Yeyang, the Jiang family will break up Xiao Yeyang and Yan Yiyi and let Xiao Yeyang marry Princess Xiliao.

As for Yan Yiyi, in the face of major national events, she, the princess, had to be sacrificed, not to mention her, even if her father gave her a marriage, she could only be forced to be a concubine.

Princess Lekang took a deep breath. The Jiang family was her grandfather's family. She couldn't say more about the matter of collusion with the people of Xiliao, so she could only remind her.

"This princess has already said what should be said. Whether or not you can stop it is up to you." After speaking, she turned around and returned to the stands.

Daohua looked at her back and pondered for a while. Just in case, she sent Wang Man'er to find Xiao Yeyang.

Back in the stands, Daohua was a little absent-minded, especially when she noticed the penetrating gaze in her eyes when Mrs. Jiang was looking at her.

Daohua incited the fan, and felt annoyed in her heart. Someone was always hiding in the dark to spy on him and harming him at the right time. This feeling is really too bad.

On the racetrack, colorful flags fluttered, drum horns hummed, and it was very lively.

The Xiliao and Daxia men who participated in the competition all rode their own mounts and trotted around the racecourse to move their bodies.

Between the two sides, shouting a few words from time to time drove the atmosphere very high.

Daohua has something in her heart, so she didn't want to watch this. Looking at Wang Man'er who came back alone, she frowned: "Why, didn't find Xiao Yeyang?"

Wang Man'er shook his head: "Defu said that the little prince is driving with the emperor now. However, the servant told Defu what Princess Lekang said just now, and Defu said he would find a way to tell the little prince."

Hearing this, Daohua could only press down her irritability and turn her attention to the racetrack. Just at this moment, the Seventh Princess of Xiliao, dressed in a long red dress, rode a horse and ran into the racecourse.

As soon as she entered the venue, she was immediately warmly cheered by the people of Xiliao.

Daohua frowned: "Does she also want to participate in the horse race?"

It didn't take long for the officials to arrive with the emperor.

The emperor went to the throne and sat down, and everyone in the paddock knelt down to worship.

The emperor raised his hand to get everyone up, and then gave seats to the second prince of Xiliao, the eldest prince, and the accompanying officials.

Daxia officials went to their seats and sat down.

Yeluhao looked at the racecourse, then looked at the emperor with a smile: "Your Majesty, this horse race can't be without prizes."

As soon as the words fell, Yelu Kangda took out a chi-long treasured knife: "Your Majesty, this is a colorful head from our Western Liaoning Province. This knife is called the Seven Star Knife, and it can cut iron like mud!"

The emperor raised his eyebrows and smiled indifferently: "You have all made a lot of money, naturally I can't miss it here." After speaking, he glanced at Eunuch An.

An Gonggong smiled and took a meter-long sandalwood box from the eunuch behind him, took two steps forward, and opened the box in front of everyone.

Soon, a golden long whip appeared in everyone's sight.

Eunuch An picked up the whip and waved it lightly, and immediately there was a sound of breaking the air.

"Good whip!"

Yeluhao praised exaggeratedly, and then said to the Xiliao people on the racecourse: "The Emperor Daxia took out such a good whip as a lucky charm, you must do your best to win it!"

The Xiliao people immediately coaxed on horseback.

Yang Chenghua, who was sitting at the head of the emperor, immediately said, "Xiliao's treasured saber is not bad, and our Daxia man will surely get it, don't you think?"

When the words fell, the people competing in the racecourse and the people watching around burst out with enthusiastic voices.

In an instant, the Xiliao people were suppressed.

Seeing this, the smile on the emperor's face suddenly increased.

Eunuch An handed the riding whip and the treasured sword of the Xiliao people to Wei Qi, who tied both the riding whip and the treasured sword to the high pillar of the arena at the end of the racecourse.

When he came back, the emperor said: "Whoever wants to take the horse whip and the treasured sword, the horse whip and the treasured sword belong to whoever." Then, he looked at the second prince of Xiliao and the eldest prince, "It's almost time, let's start now."

"Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Yelu Qianhua suddenly made a noise, and then rode to the front of the stand.

The emperor looked at her lightly: "What's wrong with Princess Qianhua?"

Yelu Qianhua jumped off the horse, bent down and said, "Your Majesty, Qianhua also wants to participate in the competition."

The emperor smiled and said: "I have heard that women in Xiliao are also very good at riding and archery, but women are not stronger than men, and their physical strength is much weaker. Besides, the people participating in the competition are all rough men, and it would be bad to hurt the princess. "

Yelu Qianhua smiled and said, "Your Majesty, since I plan to participate in the competition, I am naturally not afraid of getting hurt."

The emperor didn't care whether she was injured or not, and just said politely: "Since Princess Qianhua insists on doing this, then if you want to participate, you can participate, or let us see the demeanor of the women of Xiliao."

Yelu Qianhua continued with a smile: "Your Majesty, if Qianhua wins the lottery as a daughter, is there any extra reward?"

Hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows, glanced at Yelu Hao and Yelu Kangda next to him, smiled and did not speak immediately.

Yelu Hao smiled and scolded Yelu Qianhua: "Qianhua, don't be arrogant, His Majesty the Emperor has already brought out such a good whip, how can you ask for other rewards?"

Yelu Qianhua smiled and said: "I don't want to make the game more interesting." After saying that, he looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty the emperor, you don't agree, can Qianhua understand that, in your heart, Daxia is In fact, a man can't even compare to a woman like me?"

The smile on the emperor's face suddenly faded.

At this moment, Duke Cheng En who was standing beside him shouted loudly: "Princess Qianhua is really arrogant, how could I, a Daxia man, be incomparable to you, a Xiliao woman?" , "Your Majesty, why don't you agree to Princess Qianhua's request and let her take a good look at the heroic appearance of my big summer man."

The emperor looked at Duke Chengen with a half-smile but then turned his gaze to Yelu Qianhua: "I wonder what reward the princess wants?"

Yelu Qianhua immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, the reward Qianhua wants is very simple. I like Daxia very much and want to stay in Daxia. If Qianhua gets lucky, can you let me choose a husband in Daxia? ?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion among the Daxia officials and the onlookers.
