Chapter 109
It's easy to pass
The competition begins.
Princess Baoqing's horses were all covered with red silk cloth on the ponytails; Xue Mei's horses were tied with black silk cloth.
In this way, the people on the arrow tower can see at a glance whose horse wins.
The emperor and Princess Baoqing sat in the private room of the Arrow Tower drinking tea.
This arrow tower is built on a high mountain and is ventilated around it. As long as it is not cold, it is an excellent viewing point.
It overlooks the entire track and can see the polo court not far away.
The entire Arrow Tower is not big, it can only accommodate about thirty people.
Princess Baoqing spent a lot of money to build this building. All of this money was damaged by her and her father.
She may not know that the money in her father's private warehouse was probably from Prince Ancheng, whom she looked down upon.
This is why the emperor would give Prince Ancheng face in the open and in the dark.
Princess Baoqing was extravagant and cruel and bloodthirsty, and she lost countless horses for her racecourse.
When Xiao Jingcheng returned to Beijing, he brought back a hundred good horses from Baiya Town and gave them to the Ministry of War.
Unexpectedly, Princess Baoqing actually went to ask for it.
The people from the Ministry of War told the emperor.
The emperor was very doting on his daughter, so he asked the people from the Ministry of War to give him ten horses to Princess Baoqing.
Princess Baoqing got this racecourse and let the horses run the iron cone.
Only on the battlefield will the enemy lay the iron cone on Xiao Jingcheng's horse.
Horses, like soldiers, are all the treasures of Xiao Jingcheng's heart. When he saw the horse with blood on his feet, he became angry. It happened that Princess Baoqing entered the palace that day and spoke in front of Empress Dowager Qi.
Xiao Jingcheng rushed in and gave her a whip.
If the Empress Dowager hadn't scolded her loudly, Xiao Jingcheng would have beaten Princess Baoqing to the point of being fragile.
That whip also injured Princess Baoqing's arm.
When she thought of Xiao Jingcheng, Princess Baoqing was instinctively afraid. When she bullied everyone, her father would help her. Only when it comes to Xiao Jingcheng's affairs, her father would turn a blind eye.
Not only because Xiao Jingcheng is the beloved general of his father, but also because he is the son of Empress Dowager Qi.
The Emperor and Empress Dowager Qi...
In recent years, the emperor never praised the queen's family, nor gave the title of Concubine Dan Tai's mother, but gave the Qi family countless wealth and honors.
Outsiders think that he is the family of the grandfather who rewarded Xiao Jingcheng.
In fact, he was the family that rewarded Empress Dowager Qi.
Empress Dowager Qi was three years older than the emperor. This method and ability made all the women in the harem convinced. Even if they were not convinced, they had to endure it. Those who dared to provoke Empress Dowager Qi would not end up well.
When Princess Baoqing was distracted, she heard a scream: "It's over!"
She came back to her senses.
Xiao Mingyu stood up and was looking at the runway excitedly. The irrelevant emperor on the side also showed a very unexpected look and stretched his head to look over there.
Princess Baoqing looked over and found that Xue Mei's ten horses had all passed the first level.
The first level is mud.
The horse's hooves are running quickly and it is easy to slip in the mud.
Often, for this first level, an ordinary horse can lose half of it in one breath.
But what did Princess Baoqing see?
She saw the horses tied with black silk at the tail and ran through the mud in one breath; instead, there was a horse tied with red silk at the tail and struggled on the mud.
She stood up in shock and said, "What's going on?"
How could Xue Mei and those horses pass by the mud so smoothly?
Horses are running fast, and no horse is careful to pass through the mud.
As he ran away, even the princess was carefully trained and turned over, let alone those ordinary ones?
All those horses were from the Princess Racecourse. She knew what kind of people it was, and it was impossible for them to pass through the mud so smoothly?
"Princess, you have one horse." Xue Meidang asked Princess Baoqing and answered her patiently.
Princess Baoqing glared at her fiercely.
The emperor also stood up and walked over to take a closer look.
A little excited red tide had already floated on Xiao Mingyu's face, which was unbelievable.
"Horsehoes are horseshoes." Xiao Mingyu said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, have you seen it? Horseshoes can help ordinary horses pass through the mud smoothly without falling."
The emperor thought a little.
Then, there is the second level.
The second level is obstacles, the horse needs to jump high and land.
It is easy for a horse to jump, but it is easy to jump to its feet when it lands, and it is broken again.
This level is also very difficult.
Princess Baoqing believes that Xue Mei’s horse will definitely be lost here, and even an ordinary horse cannot pass this level.
"Flipped one." Xiao Mingyu said loudly.
Princess Baoqing was delighted and went to see it immediately, but found that the one who fell to the ground was a horse with red silk tied up, hers, not Xue Mei's.
The expression in the emperor's eyes ranged from calmness, a little confused, to slightly surprised.
In the second level, Princess Baoqing's horse was damaged by two more horses; and Xue Mei's horse was intact and all passed smoothly.
Because when they land, the horseshoes on the horse's hooves will protect their hooves and hold on to the ground more firmly.
Princess Baoqing's face changed: "How is this possible?"
It is normal for her horse to be damaged; but it is unusual that no ordinary horse has fallen behind.
In the emperor's eyes, surprise turned into shock.
"It's so stable?" He turned around and asked Xue Mei, giving Xue Mei a very high honor.
Xue Mei stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I used horseshoes, and I just reported to you. Then I had an iron ring on the horseshoes."
"So effective?" asked the emperor.
Xue Mei: "Yes."
Xiao Mingyu's eyes were already shining. He was shocked.
No matter what the follow-up is, being able to overcome these two difficulties means that this horseshoe is really useful.
There is no difficulty in the third level, just let the horse run away.
Princess Baoqing's horse has the best physical strength and will throw away all the other horses at this level.
Sure enough, in this level, the seven remaining horses of Princess Baoqing all had the upper hand and ran to the front.
As long as her horses are all ahead, she will not lose.
However, in the second half of this level, Xue Mei's horse actually accelerated and ran to Princess Baoqing's horse.
If you run for a long time, without horseshoes, the horse's feet will be insufficient in motivation.
"No, how is this possible?" Princess Baoqing shouted loudly regardless of her demeanor.
The emperor and Xiao Mingyu didn't look at her. They were looking at ordinary horses and turned into BMWs in the world through horseshoes: they could pass through mud, could turn over obstacles, and had strong subsequent force and ran faster.
There is no loss in this level of horses.
The one running in the front was the horse with black silk tied at the tail, which was Xue Mei's; the second was Princess Baoqing, but Xue Mei's other horses followed closely and did not fall too much.
The fourth level is very cruel.
Every time, an ordinary horse will lose.
Occasionally, one or two horses could pass by, but Princess Baoqing was gathered into her BMW.
Even BMWs need to lose several horses in the iron cone.
The emperor and Xiao Mingyu's eyes widened, wanting to see what the next scene was.
Princess Baoqing felt that she would definitely win.
She makes no sense.
"The last level is impossible to lose." She comforted herself.
