Chapter 1031 Satisfied Fourth Master's Macho Mentality
Wanyan: "..."
Knowing that his strength is not as strong as his, he didn't struggle.
Just lying quietly in his arms, listening to his heartbeat.
His heartbeat was a little fast, and there was a "plop plop" sound in her eardrums.
Just like a war drum, she felt nervous for no reason.
"You know my master's temperament, so you just have to be a little obedient every time. If you make me anxious, how can you control you so much." The young man talked nonsense.
"Why am I not obedient?"
The Fourteenth Master was too lazy to break up with her, so he lowered his head and was about to kiss her.
Wan Yan hides.
"Look, you're disobedient again."
"It's not that he's disobedient, it's because he's thinking about Big Brother."
The boy paused slightly, as if he knew that she was very concerned about this matter, and deliberately hung her up: "This matter is not urgent."
"No, I'm in a hurry!" Wan Yan said, sitting up straight away, looking at him seriously.
Seeing her anxious pale face, the young man smiled and coaxed: "Okay, okay, I know. But it won't work, wait a few days, the emperor will play ice games in the palace, and I will take you there Playing, by the way, I will enter the palace and bring the elder brother back, how about?"
"not good."
"Good boy, it's settled like that." The boy hugged her without any explanation, "Give me another little princess."
"No."
"Why."
"If there is another Gege, I still don't want to be raised by the Queen Mother. Originally, the girl is going to get married. If she is not raised by her side when she was young, and married off when she grows up, it is better not to have a child."
The young man smiled indulgently, "It's really a greedy little thing, don't worry, if you give me a bad name, I will talk about it on the queen's side."
Although there are many unhappiness between them.
But at least when it comes to children.
The husband and wife are the harmonious ellipsis of the same camp................................... ...................................................
The ice play activity is held on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
The venue is Taiye Pool on the west side of the Forbidden City.
This is not a simple play activity, it is a traditional Manchu sport.
It is also a winter sports meeting held every year in the Qing Dynasty.
To be precise, it is still a military parade on ice.
Because after the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, ice sports were still one of their military training items.
And those performers are masters who are good at skating selected from the soldiers of the Eight Banners and the officers and soldiers of the Three Banners in the House of Internal Affairs.
In order not to be in trouble during the review, these more than a thousand masters trained in the palace a few years ago.
When the training is proficient, it will officially appear on the Taiye Pool.
The emperor, empress, queen mother, princes and nobles, civil and military officials will all be present to watch the ice play performance.
On this day, Ruoyin got up early.
After she changed into decent auspicious clothes, she had some breakfast and then rode on a phoenix chariot to Taiye Pond.
When she got there, there were already people performing preparatory performances on the frozen lake, which is equivalent to a modern dress rehearsal.
A servant showed Ruoyin the way and took her to the high platform of Taiye Pond.
Along the way, everyone who saw her would bow and kneel.
However, before Ruoyin could reach the high platform, he heard a voice singing from behind: "The emperor is here!"
Ruoyin looked back and saw a bright yellow guard of honor in the distance.
Probably because of the great occasion today, fourth master was not riding in the light dragon chariot that he usually travels in.
Instead, he was sitting on a jade chariot carried by thirty-six people.
The jade chariot is nearly four meters high, and it seems that in order to better match the jade chariot, the decoration of the jade chariot is mainly beige.
This brings the jade chariot closer to the icy and snowy scenery, as well as the ice play scene.
However, the yellow umbrella held by the servant, the golden dome on the top of the jade chariot, and the yellow satin hanging from both ends all showed luxury and nobility.
Watching Fourth Master slowly approaching surrounded by servants and guards.
All the people present saluted and kowtowed in the direction of Fourth Master.
After all, there were thousands of people present, and it was impossible for everyone to gather in front of Fourth Master to salute.
And Ruoyin was far away from fourth master, so it was not easy to walk towards him.
She only saluted fourth master Yingying Fushen from a distance.
However, she did not walk towards him.
But He Zhongkang, who couldn't bear the fourth master's side, found her, and said with a thousand smiles: "Empress, the emperor invites you to ride on the ice bed made by the emperor, and please follow the servant."
"Ice bed?" Ruoyin raised an eyebrow, a little surprised.
But he still supported Liumama's hand, and followed He Zhongkang to the place where there was an imperial ice bed.
Not long after, Ruoyin followed He Zhongkang to a spacious ice surface in Taiye Pool.
And right in the middle, there was an igloo with bright yellow satin hanging from the door.
Around the igloo, there are well-dressed royal guards guarding.
At the door, He Zhongkang made a "please" gesture to Ruoyin: "Your Majesty, please come in."
Ruoyin nodded slightly, held Mrs. Tang in his arms and entered the room.
And the servants around her were naturally waiting outside.
After entering the room, Ruoyin saw fourth master sitting by the window.
He was wearing a bright yellow brocade robe and a dark mink velvet cape.
His eyes were looking out of the window, leaving her with a handsome profile.
"Your Majesty." She whispered.
Hearing this voice, Fourth Master looked back and saw the woman wearing a carmine skirt with plum blossoms embroidered on it.
The snow-white fox fur collar made her swan neck more elegant.
Not only that, but she also wore a snow-white fox fur hat.
Hiding that delicate and beautiful face in the hat makes it look even smaller, and it is really cute to look at.
"You're here." The moment he saw her, the corner of Fourth Master's mouth rose involuntarily.
Then, he got up, pulled her to sit by the window together, and continued to look out the window.
Ruoyin held Tang Pozi in his arms, and followed his line of sight to look out the window.
She hadn't paid much attention outside before.
Now that I sit here, I realize that this place has a relatively high geographical location.
Just sitting by the window, you can overlook the surrounding environment of Taiye Pool.
Outside the window, it was snowing heavily, and it was a vast expanse of whiteness, like layers of snow-white cream.
Gives a cool and pure feeling.
And the goose feather heavy snow filtered the entire line of sight, with a bit of mystery in the blur.
Those who came to participate in the ice game were all wrapped in thick cotton jackets, fluffy hats, and woolen gloves.
Even the neck is covered tightly with a tall fur collar.
At this moment, Ruoyin felt strange when he saw everything.
She looked around the igloo curiously again.
It was found that the roof and the walls were carved with dragon and phoenix patterns.
Seeing that although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.
There is a large crystal clear icicle in the room.
A table, and a half-round table.
There are also two rose chairs and a wooden box for clothes.
The most important thing is that there is a large ice bed in the middle.
The bedposts of the ice bed, as well as the top of the bed, are carved with five-clawed green dragons.
Even the bed legs, handguards, and bed skirts are carved with four-clawed or three-clawed green dragons, which look luxurious and shocking.
Moreover, looking at the lifelike appearance, one can tell that the carving is top-notch.
The bed is covered with a thick bright yellow mattress and brocade quilt.
On the brocade quilt are two reindeer hides and two silk pillows.
In the four corners of the house, there are several beautiful ice-carved hibiscus lanterns, which set off the already crystal clear igloo even more brightly.
While Ruoyin was admiring the environment in the house, he heard lively voices coming from outside.
She turned her head and saw fourth master making a gesture through the window.
Then, there was a long queue outside the window, lined up neatly.
I saw them figure skating on the ice, posing various events such as scorpion, golden rooster independence, Nezha Naohai, Shuangfeiyan, Qianjin pendant, dragonfly pointing water, purple swallow piercing the waves, and phoenix spreading its wings.
Not only that, there are thousands of soldiers dressed in military uniforms, performing climbing poles, turning poles, flying forks, juggling knives, using sticks, making flags, stacking arhats, and various ice skating and archery actions of military training nature.
Every time a project performance is completed, the fourth master will say "reward".
Then, the steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will distribute the rewards prepared in advance.
Ruoyin didn't care about anything else, just dragged his chin and watched the wonderful performance outside.
He couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, our Qing Dynasty actually has such an army on ice, it's really amazing."
"That's it." The fourth master looked outside and said in a deep voice: "Because we Manchus have lived in extremely cold places for a long time, skating and skiing in the ice and snow have become necessary skills. When the Emperor Taizu of the Qing Dynasty was in power, the soldiers were Using this skill, the organization trained a "special team on ice" who was good at skating, and rescued the Qing Taizu who was trapped in the war."
Ruoyin nodded in confusion, looked out the window with half-closed eyes, and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what kind of shoes are they wearing?"
"Those are called Ula sliders. They are shoes tied to the feet with animal bones, and the soles are also embedded with iron bars." After speaking, Fourth Master pointed to a group of blue teams in the distance, and said, "That's our The Qing Dynasty’s Skilled Ice Squad Battalion was a branch of the Qing army that specialized in ice skating.”
"So amazing." Regardless of what fourth master said, Ruoyin nodded, his eyes full of surprise and admiration.
And her humbly asking for advice satisfies fourth master's male chauvinism very well.
As a result, he began to explain to her endlessly.
From cuju on ice to double-flying.
In fact, the pair of flying dances, just like the current figure skating, can cultivate soldiers' tacit understanding and improve sensitivity.
While Ruoyin was chatting with fourth master, he heard the sound of the cannonball starting the game in the distance.
Then, many men galloped towards Ruoyin and fourth master from the opposite ice rink.
When they were in front of the ice bed, the imperial guards stopped them and they were divided into rankings.
Then, fourth master rewarded the top nine skaters with the fastest speed.
Immediately afterwards, Ruoyin watched the color ball shooting and Zhuanlong shooting games.
Finally, those who have performed, all gathered together to stage the final group drill.
They had different postures and showed their unique skills, forming a winding dragon that surrounded Ruoyin and fourth master's ice bed in the center.
Such a neat and uniform performance made the originally harsh winter full of vitality.
After the final performance was over, a woman in a big red skirt stood in the middle and said something.
But because the distance was too far, Ruoyin didn't understand.
But soon, Su Peisheng's voice sounded outside the window: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess of Yu Nanguo said that there is a show to be performed, and that after the performance, she will compete with our people in skating speed."
"Let her perform first, then someone will naturally challenge her." Fourth Master seemed to have expected it a long time ago.
"Hey." After Su Peisheng agreed, he went to spread the message.
Not long after, I saw that the eldest princess took off the red cloak she was wearing, and was only wearing a relatively thin skirt.
Through the icy window, Ruoyin saw from a distance that her toes lightly tapped, falling to the ground like goose feathers and heavy snow.
The slender legs danced on the mirror-smooth ice.
The bright red skirt shone brightly with her dancing.
It makes the already excellent eldest princess look dazzling and charming.
The elegant swan neck is raised even higher.
The charming deep eyes are smiling slightly.
