Chapter 18
Rong Xianggu immediately thought of Yun Zhongqing, who had a marriage contract with his sister, and it made sense for him to come and help her play polo.
So, he took Rong Xiangzhi to the side of the field to find Yun Zhongqing, told him what he had been asked, and asked, “Is Zhongqing willing to assist?”
Yun Zhongqing was naturally willing to do so, as he was worried about not having a chance to perform in front of Rong Xiangzhi.
Rong Xiangzhi immediately asked, “I am determined to win this lottery, but are you sure about polo?”
When he said this, Yun Zhongqing hesitated, “Third girl, my polo is indeed average, I’m afraid to let the girl down, or I’ll find you a good polo player! King Yu’s polo is the best!”
This is exactly what Rong Xiangzhi wants, but Rong Xianggu feels it’s not right: “I wouldn’t dare to labor with King Yup …….”
Rong Xiangzhi interrupted, “Good, King Yup is a cousin of your son, please ask Mr. Yun to help me invite this great Buddha.”
Yun Zhongqing really turned around and went to find King Yu. When Rong Xiangzhi wanted to follow, Rong Xianggu pulled her back, “What are you going to do?”
“Playing ball ah! Brother won’t help me, naturally someone else is willing.”
Rong Xiang Gu sneered, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re playing at? Aren’t you embarrassing fourth sister like this?”
“Embarrassment is also better than our family losing the honor that came to us! Do you want to see those people who are so favorable to us step on our heads?”
“What about our family’s honor? You’re thinking about your own honor, right? What’s the difference between you and those who worship the high and step on the low? Look at how good Yun Zhongqing has been to you, don’t you think it’s shameful to betray your trust?”
Rong Xiangzhi struggled to shake off his hand, “Brother, why are you so pedantic and unaware of changes! It was only because our ancestors knew what to do and were willing to go out on a limb that they were able to seize the opportunity to help Emperor Tai Zu create the foundation for the Rong family’s wealth and prosperity. If we were all like you, our Rong family would still be in the borderland as a seventh-grade official.”
Saying this, Rong Xiangzhi followed Yun Zhongqing up to the Moon Watch Terrace without looking back.
Rong Xianggu had no choice but to follow, but this scene was still seen by outsiders.
“Look at the Rong family’s third girl, leaving her elder brother behind by herself and following an outsider man towards the male guest table, what kind of rule is that?”
“The Rong family came from the military and sold their lives for His Majesty to get where they are today. How do they know the rules of our family of officials and scholars.”
When Xian Yang saw Yun Zhongqing bringing Rong Xiangzhi to ask for his assistance, his first reaction was to refuse.
After the beginning of spring, the takeover of Western Qin was officially pushed forward, and although Yang did not have to worry about official matters, he was required to ask questions about the reorganization of the local military affairs. Where the danger needs to be garrisoned, where the busy towns need to be garrisoned to take over, and where there is a roving army of Western Qin that needs to be eliminated……. How to travel between Western Qin and Yangzhou, a head of problems.
Coupled with the remodeling of the royal residence, the two things keep him busy. Occasionally, when he returned to the palace to greet the Empress Dowager and the Emperor and Empress, he would just sit down and leave. When the Empress Dowager brought up the marriage matter, Xian Yang only said, “Listen to your father and the Empress Dowager’s arrangements.
Waiting for him to know that the harem is open to give him a kiss, but also to make such a big battle, he guessed that it is the Empress’s intention. Then simply go with the flow, anyway, he only said a word from beginning to end.
At the moment, looking at this waving scene, there is a crop of clan ministers who came to get close to him and the girls they brought with them, today is intended to never go on the field to show off.
So, Yang Xian said, “I liked polo when I was a kid, but I haven’t played for many years and I’m not as good at it as Zhongqing, so I think it’s better for you to play yourself.”
“Don’t be modest! I’ve boasted with people.” Wen Zhongqing hated to give him a bow.
Rong Xiangzhi didn’t know about King Yu’s concerns, only thinking that he had a green eye for him, and if they won this lottery together, it would be even more of a difference in love, and that gold hairpin would be a token of love in full view of the public. The golden hairpin would be a token of love in full view of the public. With King Yu’s intention, it would be more logical to let his father discuss it with His Majesty.
Xian Yang swept a glance at the Empress’ side, presumably she was watching. He resigned some more, Rong Xiangzhi anxious: “Your Highness a polo are not willing to help, but also said what …… Rong family’s affairs are your business?”
There is also that “if there is a dispatch, nothing from” eight words, she did not have the heart to say in front of Wen Zhongqing.
This is to say that his words are not trustworthy, which in Zhou Xian Yang is like a tight hoop.
Yes, over the past years, when it was so difficult that he couldn’t go on, he would always think of what the third girl said to him on the winter night outside Yonghua Palace.
His mother was too far away for him to think about. The only thing he could think about was the words of the Third Maiden, and she slowly became a support for him.
He had said: if there was a dispatch, there was nothing to be done. How did he shy away when it came to her needing help, and go back on his word?
Xian Yang glanced at Zhongqing and saw his hopeful face, so he patted Zhongqing’s shoulder, “Since you boasted to someone, I’ll go put up a fight, but there’s no guarantee I’ll win.”
Getting these words, Yun Zhongqing let go of his heart and Rong Xiangzhi was satisfied, ready to follow King Yu down the field. Who knows, King Yu took Yun Zhongqing’s shoulder and went down together, and Rong Xianggu also followed her without moving an inch.
The rowdy polo field suddenly quiets down.
King Yu is going down to play polo!
King Yuh is going to play polo with the Rong family’s third girl?
Didn’t the Rong family betroth the fourth girl to King Yu?
The fourth girl of the Rong family is not from a good family, so I’m sure King Yup does not like her. The third girl is a good candidate for a princess!
What’s Mr. Yun of the Princess’s family doing there?
There are rumors that Mr. Yun and the third girl of the Rong family have already agreed to marry, but they haven’t made it public yet.
This quietness gradually turned into all sorts of uproarious discussions.
The King of Qing was immediately approached by Noble Consort Shu. Noble Consort was furious: “Nonsense. Two unmarried young men and women playing polo together, the jackpot or women’s jewelry, if you win is not a token of love? He really wants to marry the first daughter of the British Duke’s House?”
King Qing was unimpressed: “That fourth girl’s origin is indeed a bit worse, if fourth brother has other ideas, it is also common sense.”
“How do you know the stakes here?”
Seeing how angry Your Highness was, Princess Qing, who was sitting on the side, suddenly pouted, “Your Highness, my concubine is lacking a tired silk gold hairpin.”
His Second Highness immediately understood what she meant, but thought he was not sure he could win. The princess added, “Your Highness only needs to go to the fourth girl of the Rong family, and you will definitely win this match!”
King Qing immediately applauded, “Right, the fourth girl has excellent ball skills and was a good friend to you in your boudoir.”
“With the fourth girl present, doesn’t King Yu still know how to show compassion?” Princess Qing laughed.
Once these words came out, King Qing suddenly realized that he had gone off with a bow to Consort Wang. Immediately, Noble Consort Shu glanced approvingly at the good daughter-in-law she had picked from the Zhen Guo Gongfu.
