Chapter 240: Race
Although others were envious of the emperor's favor, they were more worried about his physical condition, fearing that he would accidentally sprain his waist. Fortunately, Qin En was not heavy, and the emperor seemed very relaxed holding her.
"Wow... Grandpa, you are so tall! Taller than my parents. I can see farther now!"
Qin En sat in the arms of the First Emperor, laughing happily, as if he had discovered a new world.
"Haha... Then I'll make you taller."
As the First Emperor spoke, he actually put Qin En on his shoulders. Everyone was stunned. My God, this little girl was so favored that she could sit on the First Emperor's shoulders!
"Wow wow wow... so awesome, grandpa, you're even more awesome than my parents. You're simply the most awesome person in the world."
Qin En looked at her brothers and sisters who were much shorter than her, and good words kept coming out of her mouth.
"Okay, right here, we'll watch them play right here."
When they arrived at the competition venue, the First Emperor was a little out of breath. Qi Le poured him some water, and Qin En took the fan from the palace maid and fanned him.
"Thank you, Grandpa. You've worked hard. I'll fan you."
The First Emperor said with a smile as he held a fan in his small hands to drive away the heat from him.
"You are all good kids."
There were very few children who were not afraid of him. Qin Ci watched him drink tea. He felt a little thirsty, so he bravely asked.
"Grandpa Taishanghuang, can you give me some water?"
Qi Le quickly gave her a glass of water. These little ancestors were so bold that they even wanted His Majesty to serve them.
Qin Ci took the water and said to Qi Le with a sweet smile.
"Thank you!"
Qile was melted by his cuteness. All of Lord Qin's children were so polite and sensible.
After he finished drinking the water, he asked other palace servants to deliver it to Ying Hui and the others.
Qin Wuji and Qin Mingqi had just learned how to ride horses and had not yet learned how to shoot. Under the guidance of the palace servants, they chose two very docile horses to ride.
"Brother, we are not very good at it yet, so we won't compete with you. Qiqi and I will go over there to play."
Qin Wuji saw some beautiful flowers there.
Qin Yue gave them instructions when he saw that there were many palace servants following them.
"Okay, then you guys be careful. Use a stick to hit the grass cage before digging out the flowers to avoid snakes."
"it is good!"
The First Emperor could see everything they did from his position. He thought that the one who could succeed Qin Xingfu's children was the Queen Qin, who was much more knowledgeable and well-mannered than when she first came.
"Well, who do you think will win?"
Qin En was preparing to eat the fruits on the plate, but when the First Emperor asked him a question, he quickly withdrew his hand.
"I guess the third and fourth brothers will win."
"Oh? Why?"
"Because the third and fourth brothers are the most hardworking, have the best tacit understanding, and are also the most skilled in martial arts among all of us."
Qin En was the most confident about his family, while Qin Ci shook his head.
"Sister, I think Brother Han can win. You see, the horse he picked is very good, with strong limbs and very stable. In addition, Brother Han Jing looks like he has really fought with others..."
The First Emperor then looked at Qin Ci carefully. He was really curious about what kind of children Qin Xingfu was. Each of them had their own strengths.
"I don't care. I think the third and fourth brothers are the best."
Qin En bet on her own family. Qin Ci wanted to argue with her, but she shook her head and gave up. Her mother said that facts speak louder than words.
"Just watch the game carefully and see the final result."
On the field, Ying Hui was already prepared and was determined to win, he told Qin Yue and the others.
"It's been a long time since we last competed. This time I want to get the reward from my grandfather. You all have to show your true abilities."
Qin Shan and Qin Chuan looked at each other tacitly. The Queen of Qin was riding on a horse, also determined to get the reward from the First Emperor.
"Then why don't we see whether you men are better or us women are better?"
"Yes! Let's all compete."
Ying Ni echoed.
The two looked at Han Su, who agreed: "I have no objection."
"Then let's take our positions!" Han Jing asked everyone to get ready, and then rode his horse to his own position.
The four of them stood side by side from left to right.
"Come on, brothers and sisters!"
Qin En stood beside the First Emperor, made a trumpet shape with his little hand, and cheered them on loudly.
"come on! Come on!"
Qin Ci plucked the branch next to it and waved it. The First Emperor's eyelids twitched, because this was the flower he had cultivated with great care!
Qi Le was secretly worried for him, as each of the sons of the Marquis of Zhuguo was a tough guy.
A palace servant saw that they were all ready, waved a flag and everyone began to get ready.
"Boom boom boom!"
At the command, the horses ridden by several people shot out like arrows. The First Emperor looked at the way the men and horses became one and began to look at these children with admiration.
"Not bad!"
Qin En and Qin Ci were screaming on the side.
"Ah! Come on, big brother! Go fast."
Qin Ci became anxious when he saw that his elder brother was falling behind.
Brother Han Jing is now in the lead, followed closely by his eldest sister and second brother, and his two elder sisters Ying Ni and Han Su are also catching up closely.
The men ran away, and Qin En and the others could no longer see them.
Qile took out a telescope and showed it to the First Emperor.
"Grandpa, I want to see it too!"
The First Emperor waved to Qi Le, and two little palace maids came with telescopes, holding the little man and looking at him.
"Brother Jing is really good. He has left the third and fourth brothers behind. Brother Hui is now at the bottom of the list."
During the final sprint, everyone sped up and the people watching fell silent. In the end, Han Jing took the lead and grabbed the flag.
"Hahaha...thank you for letting me!"
He bowed to a few of his friends. Qin Yue and the others were really impressed by him.
"Ajing, you are so awesome!"
Qin Ni boasted.
"Yes! I didn't realize you are so experienced~"
The horse that Ying Hui chose had decent front-end strength but obviously lacked endurance, which made him extremely anxious.
Queen Qin looked at the horses of several people and understood why. At first they didn't understand why he chose a horse that was said to have a bad temperament.
"You have a good eye and are very capable!"
"Brother Jing, do you have any tricks?"
Ying Ni couldn't understand why they lost when their horses were obviously better.
Han Jing was surrounded by his friends and asked for advice, and he told them the truth.
"I met an old man who raised horses in the army. He taught me how to distinguish which horses are suitable for what. For example, your horse, Qin Yue, started slowly in the early stages, but it was very powerful later on, which means it is suitable for long-distance raids. We mainly look at these, and you look at its feet..."
He told everyone everything he had learned, and everyone forgot about shooting.
The palace servants reported the results and the current situation, and the First Emperor listened.
"Wait until they're done talking."
"Here!"
