Chapter 19
Rong Xiangmian was talking to her sister in the garden, unexpectedly His Highness King Qing suddenly came, the girls in the garden were busy putting down what they were doing and got up to salute.
King Qing exempted everyone from saluting and walked over to Xiangmian: ”Fourth girl, the following is the Queen Mother’s colorful gift, the crown princess likes it. She went out for the first time after giving birth, this king wants to win to make her happy. I beg the fourth girl for a helping hand.”
The moment he said this, he immediately attracted a crowd of spectators around him.
Seeing that Rong Xiangmian had something on her mind and was afraid that she wouldn’t agree, King Qing added, “There is a painting of Gu Miaoxuan’s ‘Dashing Xiang Picture’ in my king’s residence, so I will send it to your residence immediately after the event to show my appreciation.”
Rong Xiangyu liked landscape paintings, this King Qing actually knew? Rong Xiangyu was a bit surprised and laughed, “Wangfei is so lucky to have such wholehearted love from His Highness.”
“Miss Xiangyu, King Qing is so sincere, why don’t you agree?” The bystanders could no longer help but make the decision for her.
The crowd was up in arms, and Rong Xiangmian couldn’t think carefully enough, so she could only reply with a smile, “With Your Highness’s trust, my daughter will naturally do her best.”
She asked her maid to serve her second sister well back, Rong Xiang Yu patted her hand, “I’ll go up and watch you, everyone is watching you.”
Rong Xiangmian forced a smile and followed the Second Hall down to the stables to get the horses, not realizing that her eldest brother, Third Sister, and Fourth Highness and Duke Yun were talking here.
“I’ve long heard that Your Highness’ polo is a masterpiece, but I just didn’t have the chance to see it. Today, Your Highness will definitely amaze the four seats with his skill and kill the four directions.”
“Third Miss, the court will have winners and losers, no one can guarantee the outcome. If you lose, please bear with me.”
“Your Highness is the best player in the capital, how could you lose?”
“Xian Yang, don’t say that, it’s unlucky to say you’ll lose before you even get on the court.”
This is ……
Xiangyang glanced at King Qing, who, as if he had no knowledge of it, said in a loud voice, “Yo! Xian Yang you’re coming to steal this lottery too?”
Zhou Xian Yang turned around and saw his second brother coming with the fourth girl of the Rong family.
In his heart, he realized that she had been tricked into coming. It was already inappropriate for him to be on the field with the third girl, but at least Yun Zhongqing came to please, but if the fourth girl also came to compete, wouldn’t it be a spectacle for people to watch? Letting her be ridiculed in a different way?
The Rong family siblings also did not expect this situation to arise.
Walking to the front, Rong Xiangmian looks at Yu Wang, who seems to have a shameful face. She is even more certain in her heart, what kind of crap is this?
Yuhang sends his sister to board the cloud brocade, and helps her to grab the Queen Mother’s lottery, must be valuing his sister, why should she be this extra person?
She makes up her mind, as soon as the game is over, she’ll go tell her father that she’d rather shave her hair and become an aunt, but she’ll never marry into Yü Wang’s mansion, and she’ll never share a husband with her sister!
Rong Xiang Gu sees that the atmosphere is not right and introduces him to King Yu, “Your Highness doesn’t know my fourth sister yet, right?”
Yuhang doesn’t move to look at Xiang Gu and says, “Yes, never met.”
Last time, she first wore a mask and then in the dimness, this was indeed the first time he took a closer look at her true face.
When he first saw her brows, he only thought her eyes were beautiful. Now, he realized that the beauty was more than just the eyes, it was just that the eyes made this flowery face more vivid.
Rong Xiang Gu reminded his sister, “Xiang Xiang, this is His Highness, King Yu.”
“His Highness King Yu is well.” Rong Xiangmian also pretended to be unrecognizable and lowered her body to bless.
“How are you, Fourth Miss?” Xian Yang nodded slightly in greeting.
“Rong Xiangmian! Why are you here again!” The one who spoke was a marvelous young girl on a horse, Marquis Yongan’s Thousand Gold Zhang Shu, the Empress’s own niece and Princess Li’s own sister.
“She is a helper that this king has hired,” King Qing laughed, “The crown princess wants a reward from the Empress.”
Zhang Shu said to her brother, Zhang Yue, “Last time, you lost to Rong Xiangmian, this time, you must take revenge ruthlessly. Our aunt’s things must not fall into the hands of others.”
These childish words made everyone present and ready laugh out loud. Rong Xiangmian sincerely pleaded, “Zhang family sister, you only have a few boxes of the Empress Mother’s rewards, so have mercy on those of us who can’t be the Empress’ nieces and reward us!”
“That’s right! Zhang family girl!” The other rivals followed suit.
Zhang Shu’s face colored with a few words of praise, “How can you give in on the field of play? If you want a reward from the Empress, I’ll give it to you some other time. I’m sure I’ll win the lottery!”
After that, the gongs and drums were clamoring in front of them, and the winner had already been decided. Zhang Shu was the first to enter the arena with her horse.
Rong Xiangshi immediately went to get his own horse.
Rong Xiangchi pulled her aside and asked in a low voice, “Why do you want to come and grab what I like?”
Rong Xiangshi smiled and said, “I didn’t know that my sister was going to be in the arena.”
“Then you know now! Still want to go on?”
“I’ve already promised King Qing,” Rong Xiangshi asked in a high pitched voice, “Am I going to break my promise because my sister is here?”
Rong Xiangchi sneers, “You think that just because you’re here, King Yu will give in to you? Let you win?”
“Winning or losing is just a ball, why care so much?” Rong Xiangshi intentionally said the words so that they could be heard from the side.
Rong Xiangshi was not in a good position to snap and laughed, “Yes, it’s just a ball, see you on the field!” With that, he mounted his horse and signaled for King Yu to enter the field.
At this point, King Yu is tripped up by two of the Prince’s sons and daughters next to him, talking about family matters.
One of them is Tan Xun, Yang Xian’s best friend from back in the day.
Having not seen him for a long time, he pulls at Yang and gets excited: “I helped the old master’s coffin back to his hometown in the old days, but I just came back today, and I didn’t even go home before I came straight to the court to see you! Fourth Highness, I’m so happy to see you again!”
Young playmates, each other’s situation, talking about the words can not stop. Rong Xiangzhi waited on the sidelines and felt bored, so he entered the stadium first.
Tan Xun saw Rong Xiang Mi again and bowed, “Greetings to Princess Yu.”
Rong Xiangmian frowned, disliking him. Xian Yang was also busy stopping him, “What nonsense?”
He didn’t want the fourth girl, an unmarried girl, to be offended by such jabs.
When Rong Xiangshi heard this, he got the wrong idea and picked up, “Mr. Tan, you’ve just returned to the capital, you don’t know how fast the winds of Jinling City have become, do you?”
