Chapter five hundred and ninety third exchange of betrothals
Chapter 593 Exchange of Contracted Tokens
Just now, Wang Ping'an was shocked when he saw that the roadblocking dog that was throbbing and actually surpassed him.
Of course he knew the consequences of potential being stimulated. Even a weak scholar usually has no power to tie a chicken, but if he encounters a fire, he can still carry a burden of 100 pounds to escape. However, he did not expect that after being slapped, a horse ran so fast that even the white dragon horse had not run past it! Not only did it surpass himself, but it also went far and far, and he couldn't catch up even if he wanted to chase it!
He activated the White Dragon Horse and ran for a distance. When he was only half a mile away from the bend, another person suddenly flashed out of the forest, but it was not a blocking road, but an imperial guard of the Eastern Palace. The imperial guard held a lamb in his hand and shouted, "Prince, catch it!" He threw the lamb at Wang Ping'an.
Wang Ping'an reached out to grab the lamb and shouted, "I will thank you very much when I look back!" The white dragon horse walked around the forest and turned straight.
As soon as he entered the straight road, he heard applause on the sidelines and cheers, and people were calling his name!
Wang Ping'an held the lamb in his hand and ran into the field. He tightened the reins of the white dragon horse, trotted around the field, and showed everyone his victory lamb!
When Wang and his wife saw their son running back with a lamb, they were relieved and then shouted. Yang shouted: "Son, son, come here, come here and let your mother see!"
Wang Youcai said, "Why do you want him to come here? It's more important to go to see the emperor!"
Wang Ping'an heard his mother's cry and ran over, waved the lamb at Yang, and swung a big circle in the air! Yang shouted again: "Be careful, don't dodge your arms..."
Seeing that Wang Ping'an came back from victory, Li Yiren sat back to her seat, stroked her chest with her hand and said, "Fortunately, I knew he could win!"
Princess Nanping and Princess Gaoyang said in unison: "Of course he can win, haven't we said it long ago!"
Li Zhi smiled and said, "Young sister don't have to worry about this time. I just saw you and thought you were about to faint!"
Li Ke from the other side also breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: "Why is Wang Ping'an okay? Alas, my subordinates are all waste! But fortunately, Wang Ping'an is okay, which means I won't have any trouble!"
Wang Ping'an took a short walk around the field before the knights behind him rushed up and entered the field one after another.
Shi Zhongchen stood by the side of the platform and shouted, "Wang Ping'an, you have got the lamb, but who do you want to offer it to?"
As Li Zhi told him, Wang Ping'an did not dismount, but shouted: "I would like to offer this lamb to my parents and parents for their nurturing grace!" As he said that, he ran to the Wang couple again, turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, and offered the lamb with his hands.
Yang smiled and was extremely proud, while Wang Youcai took the lamb and said with a smile: "Hey, this lamb is alive, and he is still struggling!"
The chief of Yongzhou next to him praised: "The beauty of the Lamb is dedicated to kindness. The actions of the prince are actually a beautiful conversation in Chang'an!"
When Shi Zhongchen saw that the lamb was successfully handed over to the Wang couple, he shouted again: "Wang Ping'an's family came forward to meet the emperor!"
Wang Youcai and Yang took Wang Ping'an and the family of three to dress up, walked to the platform together, and knelt down for Li Shimin.
Everyone outside the venue thought: "This is to exchange for the token of engagement. Wang Ping'an's good luck is that he can marry the princess whom the emperor loves the most, and the prince's sister and the niece of Lord Changsun. He suddenly became the most prominent prince consort in the royal family, much better than other prince consorts!"
Li Shimin smiled on his face. Of course, he should be more polite to his future in-laws and relatives. In the future, his daughter will enter the other party! He raised his hand and said, "Don't give me a gift, please get up, Wang Ping'an, don't kneel down!"
The three of them then stood up, Wang Youcai held the lamb in his hand, thinking: "Fortunately, it's a little lamb. If it's a little bigger, I can't hold it!"
He said: "Emperor, the villain's son, thanks to the emperor's wrong love, has obtained the head of this horse racing conference and this fat lamb. The villain wants to offer the Buddha with flowers and present this lamb to the emperor. Please do not dislike it!"
Li Shimin laughed and said, "If you don't dislike me, how can I dislike me? Loyal ministers, take the lamb!"
Shi Zhongchen hurriedly got off the platform, took the lamb over, and smiled and said, "Oh, this lamb is really strong, and he is quite thumping!" He held the lamb and returned to the platform, letting Li Shimin see.
Li Shimin glanced at the lamb and smiled and said, "Okay, it's really a fat thing. I've received your gifts, but I'm a little sorry for it!" He turned to look at Li Yiren and asked, "Wang Ping'an got the horse-racing head, but she was so tired that she was sweating profusely. Who of you has a handkerchief? Give it to him for him to wipe the sweat!"
Everyone looked at Li Yiren together. Li Yiren's face turned red and she felt a little embarrassed. She was about to take out the handkerchief she had prepared long ago and hand it over to her father, but before she could take it out, she heard Princess Gao Yang shouting: "I, my son-in-law..."
The *** on the platform was shocked and looked at Princess Gaoyang together, thinking to himself: "What do you want to do? Have you taken the wrong medicine?"
Fang Yiai's face turned green and she said to herself: "You ignorant woman, look at how I will repair you tonight and let you know how powerful I am!" Since he started to cheer up his husband's accomplice, Princess Gaoyang has never dared to stab him again. It has been a long time since she spoke unrestrainedly like today!
Princess Nanping was very anxious. She pulled Princess Gao Yang's sleeve under the table and whispered: "What are you going to do?"
Princess Gaoyang shook her hand away and smiled, "Father, my son has no handkerchief, but there seems to be one in Hengshan. Is it right, Hengshan?"
Li Yiren glared at her. At this critical moment, you still have to joke. It seems that you still need discipline!
Wang Ping'an below thought to himself: "Hello Gao Yang, you've scared me. When I go back, I will give Fang Yiai a few doses of strong medicine to let him take it. Repair it well!"
Li Yiren took out the handkerchief and said, "Father, I have a ready-made one here. I wonder if it's suitable or not?"
Shi Zhongchen hurried over, took the handkerchief, and handed it to Li Shimin. Li Shimin took the handkerchief and looked at it, and said, "Well, this handkerchief is good. It was embroidered by you at first glance. It was wiped with sweat on the horse-shaped head, which is very suitable."
After saying that, he handed the handkerchief to Shi Zhongchen again. Shi Zhongchen ordered someone to take a red lacquer tray, put the handkerchief into the tray, then held the plate, got off the platform, and handed it to Wang Youcai.
Wang Youcai thought, "This is the token of exchange for engagement, but unfortunately it is not the birth date. Fortunately, in front of so many people, it can be considered as giving our Wang family a sufficient face... Alas, our Wang family has no face in front of the emperor!"
He took the handkerchief, took his wife and son, and knelt down to thank the emperor, and then saluted Li Yiren for thanking him.
Wang Ping'an has nothing, and his identity is here, so how can he not kneel? Wang Youcai has no idea, but Yang felt very uncomfortable and thought: "There is no reason for the mother-in-law in the world to kneel down to his daughter-in-law. Now I'm kneeling, and when she enters my Wang family's door in the future, can I, the mother-in-law, pay her peace every day?"
Li Yiren immediately stood up and returned the gift to Wang Ping'an's family according to the court etiquette. The girl's face was tender and she was embarrassed to say something. Seeing that her future daughter-in-law was still polite, Yang felt relieved.
Li Shimin asked them to get up, said a few gentle words, and then asked them to return to their seats.
Although it was not explicitly stated that this was an engagement, everyone knew that this was an engagement. The emperor was afraid of being troubled by Wei Zheng's son, so he had to do this, fearing that something would happen again and hurt his daughter again. Such an engagement would be a painstaking effort!
Back at his seat, Yang picked up the handkerchief from the plate, looked carefully, and said, "The stitch is good, was it embroidered by the little princess himself?"
Wang Ping'an said: "It should be that this kind of token cannot be used for people to do it. It must be embroidered by Yiren."
Yang then laughed and said, "Good needlework, this daughter-in-law is very good, better than the old Zhou family, well, better than the old Zhao family." She was talking about the villagers in Xuzhou, comparing them with those daughter-in-laws.
Wang Youcai yelled and said, "Even if the little princess can do nothing, she is better than those daughters-in-law, more than ten thousand times stronger."
Yang smiled and said, "That's right. Whoever married a princess can't be..." As she said that, she looked at the platform again and wanted to see Li Yiren, but after looking at it, she stopped talking about the princess anymore, and asked Wang Ping'an, "Son, there is a woman on the stage who always stares at us. Who is she?"
Wang Ping'an looked up when he heard this and saw that Yang Fei on the stage was looking at him. He hurriedly pointed at Yang Fei. Yang Fei smiled back and turned her face away to see the palace maids. Many palace maids under the platform were preparing to play polo games.
Wang Ping'an whispered: "She is Concubine Yang, the daughter of the previous emperor, and the mother of King Li Ke of Wu."
Yang and Wang Youcai said together and looked at Yang Fei. Wang Youcai said, "She is Yang Fei? She looks like she is not old last year!"
Wang Ping'an said: "It's not too young, it's just well maintained. Dad, don't think about how old her son is."
But Yang whispered: "She looks... doesn't look very similar to me!"
Wang Youcai said: "Of course it's not like it anymore. You are much older than her!"
Wang Ping'an said, "Elephant, why don't you? But to be honest, you are much better-looking than her. I guess if she reaches your age, she will be unable to see it. She must have pleats on her face!"
Yang first glanced at Wang Youcai, then smiled at Wang Ping'an and said, "It's still my son who can speak and please mothers the most!" She whispered to Concubine Yang and said, "Who is her son? I'm also on the stage?"
Wang Ping'an said: "You recognize the prince. The person farthest from him is Li Ke. It is impossible to admit his mistake!"
Yang said oh, and he really recognized who Li Ke at a glance. She said, "He has a bad relationship with the prince, why is it not good?"
Wang Ping'an yelled and said, "What else can you do? The prince is the prince, but the King of Wu also wants to be the prince, so the relationship is not good!"
Wang Youcai hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense about such a big deal, be careful to let others hear it!"
Wang Ping'an laughed and said, "This is a secret. Not to mention that everyone in the court knows it, even the people in Chang'an know it!" His laughter attracted the Changshi of Yongzhou next to him to see it.
Wang Ping'an smiled at the Yongzhou Changshi and said, "You said yes, everyone in Chang'an knows it!"
Yongzhou Changshi thought to himself: "I know everything, what are you saying, it's inexplicable!" He smiled and said, "Yes, of course, everyone in Chang'an knows it, both young and old knows it!"
Wang Ping'an clapped his hands and smiled, "Take it seriously, sir, do you know too?"
Yongzhou Chief Shi smiled and said, "I know, of course I know, I am the official guarding the capital of the capital, so what will I not know?"
Wang Ping'an said to his parents: "Look, even Chief Shi said so!"
The Wang couple looked at the Changshi of Yongzhou together, thinking in their hearts: "The people of Chang'an are different from our country people. They dare to yell out the royal affairs so loudly, and they are not afraid of losing their heads!"
Over there, the wife of the Changshi of Yongzhou, asked, "What are you saying? What do you know?"
The Chief of Yongzhou, scratched his head and said, "Who knows what I know? I am still wondering!"
On this side, Yang said, "Son, you didn't recognize your relatives with Concubine Yang. Have you ever mentioned our family?"
Wang Youcai said anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense, why should you recognize your relatives? In our current situation, we need to recognize who you want to recognize. Let's calm down!"
Wang Ping'an also said, "I didn't recognize you, I never mentioned that. Mom, I still don't think this relative is good. I don't necessarily think it's good. I may not treat us as good relatives, but the disadvantage is that I will come immediately. Li Ke and Lord Changsun are not dealing with each other, and Lord Changsun is very nice to me. If I recognize this relative, wouldn't it be a big blow to Lord Changsun? Isn't this the kindness that we should repay kindness and revenge? We can't do such a thing!"
Yang whispered: "Sir Changsun? He is kind to you. I heard that he is more powerful than Yu Wenhua and back then, but he can't afford to offend him. Well, then we can't do such things as gratitude and revenge. You're right, old man?"
Wang Youcai said angrily: "I never said I should recognize you. It's all you talk to yourself!"
Their family talked here, and the polo match on the field had begun. This game was a mixture of men and women. One team was a few princesses and palace maids, while the other team was a princess and a few imperial guards, and the women's team was against the men's team!
The two teams rode beautiful horses, waved their ball sticks, and started to fight. Princess Gaoyang was wearing big red clothes and shouting loudly. She was the most conspicuous on the field!
Wang Ping'an pointed to the field and smiled and said, "It's really strange that this is the way of playing. Isn't this the princess team sure to win!"
Yang sighed and sighed: "It's really not easy to be a prince consort. It's not enough to be bullied at home. You have to be ridden by your wife on a horse and bullied with a stick in front of everyone!"
While watching polo, Ouyang Li suddenly came over and said, "Master, brother came to report the message and said that Wu Meiniang was feeling unwell for several days. She has not said that it is really not possible today, you have to go and take a look right away."
Wang Ping'an was shocked and turned around and said, "What, what happened to her?"
