Chapter 1073: Competition (Part 1)
When Mu Yangling woke up the next day, Qi Haoran was already refreshed and took a few boys to ride on the grass, euphemistically called it: a review before the competition.
Mu Yangling originally wanted to run into the mountain again, but thinking that this was the first real competition for children, it seemed that the competition was still very big, so he reluctantly went to watch.
The emperor and the empress also appeared with great admiration because the princes participated in this competition, so many civil servants and military generals also appeared naturally.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Guard were busy turning around, enclosing the arena, moving tables and chairs for the onlookers, and erecting parasols for the dignitaries.
There is no way, who makes the emperor be merciful and can't bear the ministers standing in the sun? They are all pampered ministers. They stay in the sun and stand for half a day, and half of them lie down the next day. Who will work for him and manage the country? ?
Qi Haoran saw that the Praetorian Guards were too busy, so he waved his hand to let the Praetorian Guards leave him alone, and hand over the supplies to his little servants and guards, who would build it.
Rong Xuan saw it and made it according to the law. Other ministers were also busy making the servants they brought with them to work. Because they were not like Qi Haoran who could bring a line of guards, the number of people to serve was limited. .
Praetorian Guards: Originally, none of you were alone.
Finally, the Praetorian Guards were vacated, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were relieved, and the competition list and regulations were almost arranged.
It is said to be horse racing, but it cannot be just horse racing, otherwise it will be monotonous.
This hunter is looking for outstanding horse generals to prepare for future wars, so this competition includes horse racing, wrestling, archery and riding archery.
Coincidentally, all four of Xiaoan belong to the children's group, while Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong belong to the children's group.
Those over the age of 16 who want to participate have to enter the mountain forest for hunting competitions, which belong to the youth group, not the youth group.
Qi Xiuyuan never liked to waste time, so it was not long after eating too early, he brought the queen and interested princes and concubines into the venue, encouraged the children a few words as soon as they sat down, and then immediately announced the start.
No more than a quarter of an hour before or after.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites wiped their sweat happily. Thanks to the simplicity of the emperor, the game is expected to be completed this morning.
The first competition is the wrestling of the youth group. Because there are many people who sign up, fifteen groups will compete at the same time, and the winner can enter the next competition.
In the second game, the lottery was drawn, and one person took a bye. This time it was a group of groups to advance to the game.
Little Treasure and Little Bear had good luck and entered the second round.
Xiaoxiong and his opponent made the right move, and then Xiaoxiong knocked down the boy who was two years older than him and half a head taller. Xiaoxiong knew that he was strong and apologized a little embarrassedly: "I am stronger."
The opponent thought he was showing off, so he couldn't help but glared at him and ended in a sullen mood.
Xiaobao was more difficult and lucky to win.
Because he was the prince, the other party didn't dare to attack at first, which made Xiaobao take advantage, but the other party was about the same age as him, and he was also thirteen years old.
hugged him and pulled it, and his anger came up. He tried his best to suppress Xiaobao, but he was inferior at the beginning, and even if he tried hard later, he gradually failed.
Xiaobao is not ignorant. Although his kung fu is not as good as that of Xiaoxiong, he has also practiced meditation. When he is brought down, he will jump for joy.
He knew it would be hard to get to Game 3 unless he got a bye, but he was happy to get to Game 2.
But the prince's luck was so good, he got a bye in the second game.
Faced with the seemingly non-existent doubts, the crown prince couldn't help but look at the Minister of Rites next to him. His father, the emperor and his mother were disdainful of doing such a thing, but the Rites...
The Ministry of Rites stood expressionlessly, sweating from his back. He used his personality to guarantee that he really didn't cheat. The emperor and the prince didn't mean it. How could he do this thankless thing?
Is it his fault that the prince is lucky?
The four little ones didn't realize the weirdness in the field, and they shouted excitedly, cheering for Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong, and the audience only heard them shouting "Come on!"
Qi Xiuyuan turned his head and asked Qi Haoran, "Why are these children shouting cheers, what do you mean by cheers?"
Qi Haoran couldn't help but not look at Mu Yangling, and explained, "They shouted."
Qi Xiuyuan glanced at Mu Yangling, then looked directly over Qi Haoran to Fan Zijin, "I always think this word sounds familiar."
Fan Zijin raised his mouth slightly and said, "Your Majesty feels good, when Haoran competed with others in martial arts or horse racing, Ah Ling often shouted like this, after a long time we will get used to it, and the children will shout when they encourage others , Seriously, I don't understand it either."
Mu Yang looked forward without squinting, as if she hadn't heard their words, how would she explain that it was a slip of the tongue?
He never speaks dialects. Qi Xiuyuan knows some of the dialects of the ten townships in the northern region. There is no way.
So if you can't find a reason, it's better not to say it.
Qi Xiuyuan glanced at Mu Yangling with a smile but not a smile. There were so many things that his younger brother and sister were puzzled about, and he was not in the mood to pursue them. He shook his head and continued to watch the arena.
Xiaobao also cheered on Little Bear cheerfully, and after only two shouts, Little Bear won.
Qi Xiuyuan looked a little bored, and Qi Haoran said: "Xiaoxiong will not be allowed to participate in such competitions in the future. The eldest grandson of the Minister of War has a good kung fu, and he is considered the best among these children. In the end, it took only three strokes to meet Xiaoxiong. It's a shame to lose."
The Minister of War under ?? heard this and almost burst into tears. The emperor's holy words, his grandson is obviously very powerful, but because of bad luck, he won the lottery of the Prince of Rongjun and lost so badly.
Qi Haoran pouted and said, "Brother Huang, you can't deprive Little Bear of his rights just because he is so powerful."
Qi Xiuyuan supported his forehead, feeling a little helpless towards his younger brother's favorite son regardless of the occasion, glanced at Mu Yangling, and seeing that she was also holding on to her son's injustice, he couldn't help but said, "If a martial artist is looking for an opponent, he should look for an even match. His ability is even better than the competition with the youth group, and he will play against the youth group again, isn't he bullying the child?"
Qi Haoran rolled his eyes and said, "This is what the emperor said, let him compare with the youth group and let the eldest grandson of the Minister of War be promoted."
Qi Haoran was never the master who suffered losses, Qi Xiuyuan glanced at him and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Brother Huang, if Little Bear can take the first place in the youth group this time, let him follow me to the Northland next year."
Qi Xiuyuan showed anger on his face and said, "He's only twelve, he's still a child."
"Didn't I follow you into the army camp when I was twelve? Twelve is not too young." Qi Haoran said seriously: "Xiao Xiong is more powerful than I used to be."
