Chapter 361
361: horse racing
Mongolian girls have always been straightforward and not bound by secular etiquette.It's just that Cao Yong was originally a Han Chinese and was deeply educated by Confucianism. Although he was only a Mongolian woman, he had never seen such a thing, and he said such a thing in public.Originally, the whole family was able to be carried into the first three phases of the Manchu army, Cao Yong was so excited that his face flushed, and the redness faded away by Qi Qige's words, and he turned pale.
The one who was most annoyed was Yu Ludai, who was about to explode, but Wen Xi grabbed her.Qiqige was younger, so she was naturally more delicate and naive, but Wen Xi also saw the expression of the queen mother, beside the queen mother, Qiqige and the thirteenth elder brother were clearly accompanying her.After all, Elder Brother Thirteen is one year older than Princess Seven, so he is also fourteen.
The Empress Dowager's face turned pale, she held back her anger and said, "No nonsense!"
Qiqige didn't understand the reason, she just pulled the queen mother's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Queen mother, I thought my brother was the most heroic man on the grassland, and I will marry Batulu who is like my brother in the future! It's just that I grew up so big, I haven't seen anyone who can compare with my brother in riding, archery or wrestling, he is really good! Except for him, no one is worthy of being my Qiqige's husband!"
At this point, Cao Yong, who had just stood up, stumbled and nearly fell, and met Shang Yuludai's angry eyes, and said clearly: When did you hook up with Qiqige? !Cao Yong wanted to cry but had no tears, he was really wronged.
But Qiqige refused to give up. Seeing that the Queen Mother refused, she ran to Kangxi, pointed at Cao Yong, and saluted: "Your Majesty, please give him to be my husband!"
Kangxi immediately turned cold, and said the same thing as the Queen Mother.It's just more majestic: "Qiqige, don't mess around!!"
Qiqige was puzzled: "Why? Could it be that he is already married?!"
Cao Yong hastily straightened his clothes, bowed slightly and said: "If you go back to Gege, the servant has not married a wife yet, but he already has his own heart, so he can only live up to Gege's love."
Immediately, Wen Xi saw a smug smile on Yulu Dai's lips, and she smiled shyly at Wen Xi, like a cinnabar magnolia that just bloomed.The face is that delicate red flower, ready to bloom.
"You have someone you like?!" Qiqige couldn't help frowning, "Does she have me?!"
Cao Yong's tone was alienated, "Whether she is good or not, it's the slave's business with her, not Ge Ge's."
Qiqige suddenly became angry.The pretty face was flushed, she glanced around, and raised her voice: "Who is she? Tell her to come out! I want to see how good she is?!" Her tone was provocative.
Yuludai's eyebrows and eyes were full of anger, and she was about to get up, but she was persuaded by a warm and smiling tone: "You are Princess Gu Lun. She is He Shuo Ge Ge." How could He Shuo Ge Ge call Princess Gu Lun? The reason for calling out?I lost my identity for nothing.
The place where Cao Yong was sitting was only ten steps away from the seats where Wen Xi and Yu Ludai were sitting.His hearing power is twice that of ordinary people, how could he not hear what Wen Xi said, so he smiled and said: "Please pay attention to your manners! The person I admire is noble, so I am not qualified to call it out, it's natural, The same goes for you, Greg."
Although Qiqige is impulsive, she is not a fool.How can I not understand Cao Yong's words, "You mean that her status is above mine?!" Immediately, his eyes wandered between the sixth princess and the seventh princess.Naturally, only Princess Heshuo and Princess Gu Lun are above Heshuo Gege.
Seeing this, Prince Darkhan hurriedly stepped forward to give his daughter a hand. He was too rude to use such a rude look, so he hurriedly said: "My daughter is not used to the rules, please forgive me by the empress dowager!"
"It's okay!" Kangxi showed a very lenient smile, "It's getting late today, so let's call it a day."
Taiji nobles from various Mongolian tribes hurriedly knelt down and respectfully sent Kangxi, the Queen Mother and concubines, princes and daughters off.
It was ten minutes into the night when the lights were on, and Kangxi came to Wen Xi's tent.The southern part of the Horqin Grassland is a place where the aquatic plants are very fertile, but at night the cold wind howls. Can you imagine how bitter the cold will be for the tribes going north?The princesses have lived in the prosperous place of the capital for a long time, so they have not suffered from the coldness of the grassland, especially in winter, when the dripping water turns into ice, I am afraid that the homesickness will be stronger. It is no wonder that most of the princesses who married to Mongolia died young.
Wen Xi is powerless to change their fate. As long as Mongolia exists, as long as the Qing Dynasty exists, countless clan women will be needed to marry until the dynasty collapses.
After drinking a glass of Lihuabai, Wen Xi slowly asked: "The emperor valued Cao Yong today?"
Kangxi was still noncommittal, and only said: "Let's wait until Qi Buchen gets married."
A smile slowly spread from the corner of Wen Xi's mouth, with a mellow fragrance like wine. Kangxi's words not only agreed, but even set the date for the marriage.In this way, Wen Xi no longer has to worry about Yu Ludai.It is also Cao Yong who strives for his own strength, and today he can be regarded as earning enough face for Kangxi.The Mongolian tribes are only different from the past. Naturally, they used to be mostly attracted, but now they are more focused on suppressing.Chitat was a top Mongolian warrior, but he was defeated by a small bodyguard beside Kangxi. They dared not be angry, but were only shocked by the force of the Eight Banners.
"Then, Qiqige..." Wen Xi paused, "The concubine is looking at the meaning of the queen mother, not only thinking of matching Yuludai and Chitat, but also seems to be matching Qiqige with Thirteen Brother."
Deep dissatisfaction suddenly appeared in the corners of Kangxi's eyes, and he said with a cold smile, "I'm pretty enough for Horqin!"
Wen Xi smiled slightly, and said: "Korqin is the Empress Dowager's natal family, so there is nothing wrong with planning for her natal family. It's just that this kind of thing is not sweet, it's better to be consensual."
Kangxi said kindly, "Yinxiang just told me in private that he doesn't like Qiqige."
Wenxi let out a sigh, and only speculated: "I think, the thirteenth brother was brought up by Concubine Xuan, so he must like a gentle and demure woman like his mother." The concubine Su Le also has a gentle temperament.
Kangxi nodded, "That's right! Gentle and virtuous, only such a woman can be Prince Fujin!" Qiqige's unrestrained temperament obviously did not qualify him to be his daughter-in-law in the eyes of Kangxi!
Wen Xi chuckled, "Qiqige is cute too! The concubine thinks her personality is somewhat similar to Yuludai!"
Kangxi held Wen Xi's hand, with a gentle smile in his eyes: "Recently, you have taught Yuludai very well, and you are much quieter and more disciplined than before."
Wen Xi just smiled silently. In Kangxi's eyes, it's okay for a daughter to be more lively and cute, but a daughter-in-law is no good!This is called eccentricity!
Waking up the next day, Wen Xi walked out of the tent, and heard Yuludai arguing with Qiqige outside the tent next to Princess Gulun.I only heard Yuludai's voice raised high: "This princess is Princess Gulun, and you will be bestowed as Heshuo Gege in the future! What qualifications do you have for this princess to compete with you in horse racing?!" Yuludai pointed Pointing to Hu Yu beside him, he said: "Why don't you do it like this, first you have a competition with Aunt Xi, who is next to this princess, if you can win, this princess will compare with you!"
Qiqige is also arrogant, how can she bear others' contempt for him, she said in a sharp voice: "The sixth princess wants me to compare with her, it is natural! But if she wins, Cao Yong will marry her wife?!"
Hu Yu immediately blushed, "Please don't be presumptuous!"
Qiqige still said to Yuludai: "Since I am fighting for a man with the sixth princess, I have to compete with you! The loser is not allowed to like him!"
Yu Ludai is also a person who can't stand being provoked. Immediately, her delicate face turned red with anger, and said: "Compare! This princess will flatter you this time! Let you know what it means to not know the heights of the sky and the earth!"
Qiqige also looked confident, "Don't just play tricks! Wait until the sixth princess wins, and then show off!"
Wen Xi stroked her forehead, feeling like she was having a headache, what is this? !Yesterday it was two men competing for one woman, today it will be two women fighting for one man!Qiqige is not a brainless person, although Cao Yong never said who the person she likes is, but she may not be unable to guess.The Mongols are indeed open, and it is not surprising that they compete for their beloved women in martial arts competitions. It's just that two beautiful girls are fighting for a man so openly, it's really shocking!It must be the case in future generations, right? !
"Er Niang!" Seeing Wen Xi, Yu Ludai walked over quickly with a smile, "It happens that you are here, so you can be the referee for us!"
Qiqige saluted hastily, and said with a proud face: "The imperial concubine is the birth mother of the sixth princess, if you are the referee, it will inevitably be unfair!"
Yuludai was about to get angry, but was pressed down by Wen Xi, Wen Xi smiled at Yan Yan and said, "In that case, let the emperor come to judge." Son, Wen Xi secretly ordered people not to spread it outside, and only asked Kangxi to come, and compare it in private.Regardless of whether she wins or loses, the reputation of a woman is damaged. Qiqige is a Mongolian woman, so she doesn't care, but Wen Xi has to care about the damage to Yuludai's reputation.
So he chose the flat area to the west of the tent, and Kangxi also sighed: "Last night, I said that Yuludai understood the rules a lot..." He shook his head while speaking.
Wen Xi also sighed, "The emperor doesn't know what kind of temperament Bi'er is? On weekdays, it's enough to keep the rules in front of others!" Wen Xi glanced at the guards following the escort, and naturally Cao Yong, who had just been promoted to second-class guard, was indispensable. , and said: "Please also ask the emperor to issue a password, no matter whether you win or lose, don't spread it outside."
Kangxi nodded, "Naturally!" Kangxi had to be cautious about the princess's reputation, so even the Queen Mother didn't tell her what happened today.
Yu Ludai stood on the grass, stroking the "Snow Lion" brought by Hu Yu himself. This is a snow-white BMW without any blemish that Wen Xi brought out from the space. It looks tall and handsome, and its fur is white and smooth. , the pupils are full of energy, and the four hooves are vigorous and powerful.Yuludai smiled slyly at the corner of his mouth, and said: "My princess's snow lion is a first-class BMW! You may say that this princess is taking advantage of you. There are bloody BMWs and Yili horses over there. You can choose!"
"No need!" Qiqige was also proud, and immediately ordered the maid to bring her car, a maroon horse, which was also very vigorous, "My Huo Qiangwei is not inferior to the princess' horse!"
Qiqige's "Fire Qiangwei" is as red as a ball of fire, such a name is indeed appropriate.It is also like her temperament, like a raging fire, like a flaming red rose in full bloom, and the rose has thorns, and she also has thorns.
