After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 749

Chapter 749 Cuju Competition

After Qin Yao finished the inspection and walked out of the house, she met An Zi who had been waiting here early.

Seeing her, Anzi waved his hands vigorously, fearing that Qin Yao wouldn't see her.

This royal racecourse is amazingly big. If no one leads the way, Qin Yao may have to look for Liu Ji for a long time.

Going forward to meet Anzi, the two of them walked around half a circle to the right from the entrance of the racecourse and finally found a seat.

This is a grandstand, a temporary stand built against the high city wall.

Liu Ji stood on the stage and noticed Qin Yao's presence a long time ago. Before she could get closer, he was already waiting at the stairs.

“Madam, here, here!” Liu Ji shouted loudly.

This auditorium was built around the racecourse, and the seats all around are almost full now. They are just waiting for the game to start as soon as noon arrives.

Qin Yao walked up to the stand, which was very spacious and covered with colorful cloth to shade the sun. It was not too hot.

There are many empty seats on the stage, but currently only Gong Liangxiao is seated.

Sikong Jianjian was nowhere to be seen, perhaps still busy with the competition.

But he brought over the four master guards who were originally guarding outside Puyuan, and they are now guarding all sides of the stand.

With a good view, few people, and shade, Qin Yao thinks this seat is quite good.

Qin Yao came to the stands, said hello to Gong Liangxiao, who seemed to be in good spirits, and sat down in the empty seat next to him.

With the fence off her head, Qin Yao looked at the surrounding environment.

It turns out that there is a higher stand ten meters away on the right. Behind that stand is the corridor on the city wall, which is directly connected to Ziwei Palace.

Looking at the various bright yellow ceremonial guards set up on the high platform, it is not difficult to guess that that will be the viewing position of the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen.

The ministers and officials have almost arrived, but the royal family members, King Chan and the princess of the Northern Barbarians have not yet appeared.

As soon as the entrance gate was closed, drums sounded on the left and right sides of the field, and the originally noisy stands quickly became quiet.

Everyone looked forward to it, looking towards the bright yellow platform due east.

Liu Ji whispered excitedly: "The game is about to begin!"

Qin Yao and Gong Liangliao next to them nodded calmly, which made Liu Ji dissatisfied and glanced at them resentfully, "Can you expect a little bit more?"

Qin Yao and Gong Liangxiao looked at each other, smiled faintly, and expressed no comment.

Liu Ji was depressed and snorted. He knew that the joys and sorrows between people were not the same, so he was too lazy to care about them anymore. He just followed the silent excitement in the venue and looked at the high platform expectantly.

Not long after, I heard singing sounds coming from the corridor of the high platform:

“Your Majesty and Queen are here!”

“The envoy from the Northern Barbarians has arrived!”

“The eldest princess has arrived with her consort!”

“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived with the Crown Princess!”

Followed by the singing of three or four princesses and princes, the entire direct family of the emperor and queen were present.

After a while, all the empty seats on the high platform were filled.

The people's position is lower than the high platform, and the line of sight is blocked. It is difficult to see clearly what the emperor looks like. They can only see a few yellow, red, pink, and purple silhouettes in the distance.

Even so, Liu Ji and Anzi were so excited that they knelt down with all the officials in the audience, shouting such words as long live your majesty, a thousand lives for the empress, and a thousand lives for the princess and the prince.

Because she was so excited and her voice was so sharp, Qin Yao felt like her brain was going to explode.

But everyone was kneeling down to prostrate, so she could only suppress the noise in her ears, and with the help of her loose clothes, she knelt down on one knee and bent down to prostrate. The arena is very big, but because it is very quiet, the sound from the high platform can be heard throughout the venue.

The Emperor of the Sheng Kingdom, who was over fifty years old, stood under the canopy of the high platform and said to everyone present with great energy:

“Today the two countries are competing in Cuju, exchanging ideas, and stopping at the last minute, so as not to hurt the harmony.”

After some instructions, everyone responded one after another, and the emperor raised his hand, "Everyone, get up, you and me, let's watch a Cuju competition together!"

“Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!”

The people in the whole place responded in unison, the sound was like a roaring bell.

Qin Yao's mind was buzzing again.

Everyone returned to their seats, the drums started playing again, and the Cuju players of Sheng Guo and Bei Barbarians began to enter. The Sheng Guo team wore red and the Bei Barbarians team wore black to ensure there would be no confusion.

Personnel from both sides came to stand under the high platform and waited for people on the high platform to give pre-match encouragement.

The people who stood up this time were Prince Chan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. They each represented their own country and personally stepped down to encourage the team members. This only made those passionate men so excited that they wanted to immediately throw their heads and shed blood for the country!

Even the courtiers of the two countries were so excited that they stood up and shouted victory.

The atmosphere is so good that everyone in it will inevitably be affected.

Because it was relatively close to the high platform, Qin Yao could see the little prince and Huhe Tixiang from the princess's house on the high platform cheering, each one louder than the other.

The princess of the prince's family seemed to have the same temperament as her father. She noticed that the temper between the prince and the Northern Barbarian princess was getting stronger and stronger, so she stood in the middle with a good temper and tried to act as a peacemaker.

It's a pity that no one listened to her.

The fighting between the two sides did not end until the prince consort scolded him.

This is the first time Qin Yao saw the eldest princess's consort. He was tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a beard. He was a man who looked like a lion king, powerful and domineering.

But there is a softness between his eyebrows that is completely opposite to his appearance.

There are rumors that the Prince Consort is a powerful leader that the eldest princess met on her way to regain the world. In order to expand her power, she used a beauty trick to deceive the man who came over.

Later the Holy Emperor became king, the eldest princess became a princess, and the leader became a legitimate consort.

It's just that neither of them has held a formal evening ceremony so far.

Why?

Is it because the prince consort's strict control makes the eldest princess unhappy? Or is it because the eldest princess has other interests in her heart and doesn't want to hurt her sweetheart?

In short, the evening ceremony that the two of them had never held successfully added a lot of gossip material to the rumors that they could make up.

Qin Yao squinted her eyes to avoid the dazzling sunlight, watching the lion king gently educating his cubs and the king not to fight with the guests. She thought to herself that maybe it was a true lover who was tough and tender and didn't care about any ceremony.

As if aware of Qin Yao's gaze, the 'Lion King' suddenly stood up from his seat and looked down.

“Dong dong dong!” There was a burst of drums, and the game finally started!

Being interrupted by this, I tried to search for the gaze that was looking at me, but I couldn't find it.

“Madam, teacher, Cuju is about to start!” Liu Ji reminded excitedly: “Look, look, look.”

Qin Yao hummed and turned her attention to the not particularly intense game off the field.

Rather, it was the probing glances cast from the high platform from time to time that made her feel like a light was on her back, she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, and she felt like there was a lump in her throat.

Maybe Xu Wenqing didn't expect her to appear here, and under the guise of being a good person, he sent palace officials to express her greetings.

It would be more realistic if the palace man's eyes didn't fall on her frequently.
