    Cui Mengxue suddenly blushed when her aunt asked about her entry into the palace yesterday. To be honest, she never dreamed that she and Li Min had not yet settled matters, but Concubine Yang could no longer wait.

    "Mengxue, why are you so shy? This person is your future mother-in-law. She must have had a lot of psychological talk with you, right?" Mrs. Cheng seemed a little anxious. She knew that Concubine Yang was dissatisfied with Princess Qi, and that Li Min was pregnant.  She was from a low background. If Mengxue could get Concubine Yang's approval in advance, her status in Prince Qi's Mansion would be completely different in the future.

    "Aunt, Concubine Yang did say something to me, but I am still Lu's fianc¨¦e, so it is really not suitable to discuss these things. Let's wait until later!" Mengxue suddenly felt a little depressed, thinking of what Concubine Yang said.  , she was a little shy to begin with, but Mengxue suddenly thought of her identity again, and her heart trembled, and she refused.

    Mrs. Cheng is also a well-educated woman and understands her niece's situation.  In fact, strictly speaking, this incident all started with Li Min. Although what Lu Hong did was a bit excessive, it is understandable. It is a pity that the blame lies in the antagonistic relationship between Lu and Li Min. In addition, at that time Lu Hong  Hong angered the other party again, and then Li Min dropped his harsh words and insisted on marrying Mengxue, which ended up in this situation.

    Mengxue didn¡¯t want to say anything, so Mrs. Cheng stopped asking questions and sat with her for a while, chatting some gossip.  It's just that although Mrs. Cheng wanted to bring the topic to Li Min, she was distracted by Mengxue. It seemed that Mengxue had made up her mind that as long as she was Lu's fianc¨¦e, she would not be willing to discuss herself and Li Min.  Stunned question.

    Finally, in desperation.  Mrs. Cheng had no choice but to give up and asked someone to add some clothes to Mengxue to prevent her from catching a cold. Then she told her to pay attention to her health and not to skip meals.  Mengxue nodded obediently in agreement, and then Mrs. Cheng left.

    Looking at the background of her aunt leaving, Cui Mengxue sighed.  Although her aunt's words were very realistic and she was thinking of her, the other party ignored a very important factor.  That was Li Min's attitude towards himself.

    The reason why Li Min bothered her in the first place was just because her eyes were similar to that of another woman, even though she had to marry him because of a misunderstanding.  But what if after marriage, Li Min still regards herself as the woman in her heart, how should she deal with herself?  This is definitely not her conjecture, because she knows that Li Min has a deep affection for that woman, and it is definitely possible for him to regard herself as her substitute!

    Thinking of her entangled relationship with Li Min, Mengxue couldn't help but have a headache, especially when her aunt reminded her of yesterday's meeting with Concubine Yang, which made her headache even worse.

    Yesterday, after Concubine Yang summoned her into the palace, she pulled her to sit next to her very affectionately.  She also took the liberty of asking Mengxue to take off her veil. After seeing her appearance, Concubine Yang was even more satisfied. Not only did she chat with Mengxue about many interesting things about Li Min, but she even boasted about her in front of her.  His own son.  The purpose is naturally self-evident, it is nothing more than to let Mengxue have a better understanding of Li Min.

    But after saying this, Concubine Yang suddenly changed the subject and began to criticize Concubine Qi Xiao Wenxin.  Cui Mengxue felt inappropriate at that time. After all, she was just an outsider now and it was really not convenient for her to hear this.  Just as he was about to leave, unexpectedly, Concubine Yang forced her to stay.

    But Cui Mengxue soon regretted it, because what Concubine Yang said next made her feel even more at a loss, because Concubine Yang told her a huge secret, that is, King Qi Li Min and Princess Qi have not consummated their marriage. This is why Princess Qi  The reason why he never had any heirs.  Moreover, Concubine Yang also told her that the relationship between her son and Princess Qi was not as good as it seemed. In the future, as long as she gets married and gives birth to a son first, then she, as the mother-in-law, will definitely stand by her.  aside.

    Cui Mengxue didn't expect that Concubine Yang spoke so straightforwardly, and she already thought of her as Li Min's woman both inside and outside her words. This made her a little at a loss and didn't know how to answer. It could even be said that she was completely stupid.  I don¡¯t even remember how I got out of the palace in the end.

    Mengxue didn't care at all about the meaning expressed in Concubine Yang's words. Firstly, she had not thought about how she should get along with Li Min. Secondly, her temperament was relatively dull. Apart from being interested in medical skills, she did not like to interact with Li Min at all.  Others are fighting, and since I have no enmity with Princess Qi, I have no reason to be at odds with them.

    In fact, Cui Mengxue felt really conflicted about Li Min. She didn't even know how she felt about Li Min. She couldn't say she liked him, but she hated him. She used to hate him very much, but since she saw Li Min  After saving people, she couldn't hate him anymore.  If she hadn't met Lu Hong and Cui Huang that day, maybe she and Li Min could have become friends, but now she was forced by the situation to become the other person's woman.

      Just as Mengxue was sitting on the corridor, worrying about her future fate, a cold wind suddenly blew by, causing her to tighten her clothes involuntarily, and then she felt a chill on her face, followed by a trace of raindrops.  It actually landed on her face.

    "It's raining!" Mengxue stretched out her jade-like hands and gently took a few drops of rainwater. Ripples began to appear on the calm river just now, and a few residual lotuses began to appear under the impact of the raindrops.  It kept shaking from side to side.

    ¡°Miss, it¡¯s raining, go back quickly, don¡¯t catch a cold!¡± At this moment, Chongchong walked to the corridor with an umbrella and said timidly.

    "Hey, let's go back. I don't know how many people will get sick from this winter rain?" Mengxue sighed softly, holding an umbrella with Chongchong, and slowly walked towards the road along the already warm gravel path.  Go to your own boudoir.

    "Sneeze~" Li Min, who was riding on the horse, sneezed, wiped the rain on his face, looked at the tall city wall next to him, and then said dissatisfiedly to Li Ke next to him: "Third brother, I have told you that today  It¡¯s not a good day to watch the track, but you insisted on coming and even dragged me along. Now that I have a cold, everything about the Datang Games from now on will depend on you!"

    Hearing Li Min's words of shirking responsibility, Li Ke also burst into a wry smile. During the last bicycle race, Li Min proposed to hold a large-scale sports competition. Not only would it be a bicycle race, but also the sports that Datang often played would be included.  Sports were also added, such as horse riding, archery, wrestling, polo, etc. Athletes from all over the country who were good at these sports were gathered in Chang'an to compete to see who was the first in their field.

    Regarding Li Min¡¯s proposal, the overly energetic Cheng Huailiang and others naturally praised it. Not only did they agree to provide sponsorship, but they were also gearing up to participate in the competition in person, and win the first prize in one fell swoop.  Li Ke happened to be a little bored with the work of the newspaper, so when he heard Li Min's proposal, his eyes immediately lit up and he rushed to take over the job of organizer. Li Min was naturally happy and relaxed about this and was busy.  agreed.

    For this sports event, Li Min originally wanted to directly use the name of the Olympic Games, but unfortunately no one responded, because no one except him knew what the Olympic Games was. In desperation, Li Min had to follow the trend and use it directly.  The name of the Tang Dynasty Games is just that Li Min always felt that this name was too stingy. For example, when he was in school in his previous life, when various schools held sports competitions, they usually used the name of a certain school's sports meeting. The Tang Dynasty Games sounded strange.  It's almost on the same level as those school-level sports meets.

    But then Li Min discovered that the words "sports meet" were really appropriate, because in terms of scale, it was really similar to those school-level sports meets in later generations.  This is mainly because the time is too short, and they are fully prepared. There are only a little more than two months left before the Chinese New Year, and there is still time for competitions, so they only have a little more than a month of preparation time left.

    In such a short period of time, let alone preparing the venue, there was no time to even summon the athletes.  So later someone suggested that we simply wait until after the New Year before convening. Moreover, it is winter again, which is not conducive to the competition.

    Regarding this proposal, after everyone's discussion, the plan for the Datang Games was finally changed significantly, and it was decided that the real Datang Games would be held in June next year, but before this year, a streamlined version of the Datang Winter Games would be held.  , first advertise it in major newspapers, and count as many athletes as you can. As for the venue, you can first use the original facilities in Chang'an. If it is not suitable, you can modify it on the original basis. In this way, although time will  A little tight, but should be enough.

    In addition to the venues and athletes, the next issue is the competition events. Li Min cannot escape this problem even if he wants to. Although Datang also has many sports, such as horse racing, wrestling, polo, etc., many of these competitions are  There are no unified rules, and each place has its own way of playing. But if athletes from all over the country gather in Chang'an to compete, there must be a unified and strict rule.  In addition, the rules of some competitions do not apply to the sports games, so major changes must be made. For example, the rough bicycle race is one of them.

    Although Li Min did not like sports very much in later generations, he still watched the Olympic Games many times, so he knew some sports rules. Therefore, the venues and athletes could be left to Li Ke and others, but the formulation of competition items and rules was not  It's up to him to do it himself.

    The reason why Li Ke insisted on dragging Li Min out of the city today was because Li Min made major changes to the bicycle competition and divided it into a track race and a city round race. Needless to say, the track race was the original bicycle race made by Cheng Huailiang and the others.  The race only adds the rule that they are not allowed to interfere with other people's competition. The city ring race is the finale of the Winter Games. It requires riders to ride a lap around the city wall of Chang'an City. Because the race is long, some supplies need to be set up along the way.  points to replenish the rider¡¯s?strength.
