In front of the polo field is a row of stands like the one they are sitting in now. It was originally just a stand. Later, the women did not want to be affected by the wind in the north, so they added wooden walls and built it like a house. Opposite them was an open space. , reserved for ordinary people to watch polo.
When these stands were originally built, they were prioritized. The closer they were to the middle, the more distinguished they were. Not only the location, but also the height of the stands gradually became shorter from the middle to the sides.
"Shuangbai, go open the window next to me. I want to talk to my aunt." Su Ningxin said solemnly, and Shuangbai would not miss the mischievous look in her eyes.
After smiling, Shuangbai walked to the side and opened the window on Princess Yaoyi's side. The windows on both sides were not far apart, almost right next to each other, so Shuangbai could lean out and knock on the window next door.
Qiuniang heard the sound and came over to open the window. She saw Shuangbai smiling and said, "My heir apparent wants to talk to the princess. What's the point of just watching polo?"
Although Shuangbai smiled innocently and could not see the ferocity with which Qiu Wen was beaten just now, Qiu Niang still trembled when she remembered that Qiu Wen's face was swollen like an apple after being beaten, and she felt her own face also hurt. stand up.
Not daring to make the decision herself, Qiuniang turned around and asked Princess Yaoyi before opening the window.
Shuangbai returned to Su Ningxin. Su Ningxin turned to look at Zhou Yaoyi and smiled solemnly at her, "Aunt, my mother and concubine did not come to watch polo together today. I am inevitably bored. I have my aunt to accompany me. It was great to chat.”
"That's natural." Princess Yaoyi nodded with a smile. On the surface, she couldn't see the surging undercurrent between the two people.
Princess Yaoyi was thinking when she said that, it would be nice if you didn't want to rub elbows with Princess An, that deviant old witch. If she comes, can you still sit so leisurely
In fact, the princess was very kind to Yaoyi when she was with her. After all, the princess was a kind-hearted person. But at that time, Yaoyi always hinted that she was dependent on others and was cautious and suffered all kinds of injustice. Naturally, she felt that everything was wrong. Make things difficult for her.
The polo match has not started yet, but because of the arrival of Princess Anjun and Princess Yaoyi, the young men from aristocratic families who have just been fighting for their lives are gearing up and taking this game more seriously.
After all, whether he falls in the eyes of Princess Yaoyi and lands in the mansion of the eldest princess, or he is favored by the Crown Princess and says a few nice words in front of the princess, he will have a bright future.
While Su Ningxin was eating the pastries on the table, she asked about the information that Lian Sheng had found out, that is, who were the people on both sides and their backgrounds.
While asking Su Ningxin, she also chatted with Zhou Yaoyi from time to time, as if chatting, but only Zhou Yaoyi knew that she was very angry now.
The stands at their eldest princess's mansion were already a bit shorter than those at Prince Anjun's mansion, which caused her to sit lower than Su Ningxin.
Every time she spoke, she seemed to be looking up to Su Ningxin, while Su Ningxin looked at her condescendingly like a superior looking at his subordinates.
Su Ningxin glanced at Zhou Yaoyi's angry but trying to hold it back, and couldn't help but find it funny. Just like those women in the palace, things that were obviously not worth mentioning could make the two Buddhas ascend to heaven with anger.
It was boring anyway, but it was quite interesting to tease her. Su Ningxin gloated silently, but she had a look of 'I am very upright' on her face.
After the game started, the two people talked less. Princess Yaoyi obviously didn't want to be subject to Su Ningxin's idleness. If Su Ningxin didn't speak, she wouldn't take the initiative to say anything, while Su Ningxin teased Zhou Yao. After a while, it lost its freshness.
The competition on the field was quite intense, but it was only compared to ordinary competitions. Both sides tried their best to show themselves.
But in Su Ningxin's eyes, something was missing. After all, although the skills of these noble family members on horseback and archery on the border were much better than those in the capital who could only recite poems and make sentences, they were still worse than the soldiers who actually went into battle to kill the enemy. Too much.
Just when Su Ningxin pretended to be concentrating on watching polo, she was actually looking around the polo field looking for Lin Yue. Soon Su Ningxin saw five or six people dressed as sergeants walking into the polo field and found a place to step aside. He sat down and looked carefully and saw Lin Yue's figure.
Although it was somewhat inconvenient for her to come here as the Crown Princess, fortunately, the Northland did not have so many restrictions on women, so Su Ningxin was not worried about not having the opportunity to contact Lin Yue.
When the time comes, she will find an excuse to go out for a walk, and Lin Yue will come over to find a place where no one is around to chat for a few words, so that no one will see her and no gossip will spread.
Even if someone saw it, Su Ningxin could say that she happened to meet the benefactor who saved her on the day of the assassination, so she went to express her gratitude, but no one could say anything.
When Su Ningxin looked over, Lin Yue also looked here. He and Su Ningxin looked at each other and made no eye contact, so as not to be noticed by others.
At this time, Lin Yue looked at Su Ning on the high platform with mixed feelings. When she was in the palace, she hated Concubine Chen's arrogance and wantonness the most, and she often made fun of other concubines. She didn't expect that now She was actually willing to help him.
After meeting Su Ningxin that day, he also went back to inquire about her identity. She was the eldest daughter raised in the nunnery by the Marquis of Xuanning, and she was also married to the sick and sick son of the Prince of Anjun.
This made Lin Yue sigh that being favored was indeed different. In order for him to change his identity and leave the palace, his grandfather directly handed over the military power to the emperor, using this as a bargaining chip to let himself escape from illness, but in the end he could only use The identity of a distant relative of the Lin family appeared in the military camp.
She knew about Su Ningxin's family background. As a concubine in a declining uncle's house, her parents must have wanted her to gain respect for the family in the palace, so how could they help her get out of the palace? So it must have been planned by the emperor.
Not only did he let her leave the palace, but he also arranged for her to have a prominent family background. In the end, she even gave her a husband who was not going to die soon, which was considered to be a planned rest of her life.
Thinking about Lin Yue, he also felt a little emotional. The Emperor, Chu Luojue, was really kind to the people who pretended to be in his heart. He was afraid that she would be wronged, but he was also ruthless towards those who could not get into his heart. .
If Su Ningxin knew what Lin Yue was thinking, she would definitely accuse her of being wronged, "I'm all lying to you!" The Dog Emperor only has the Queen in his heart, okay, maybe not even the Queen. What he loves most is himself.]
Then she will find another problem, [The Dog Emperor actually used you to directly exchange the military power of the general of the country. There were so many concubines in the harem at that time, and there were definitely many who were sent out of the palace. How much could he be sold for? No brothel madam can make as much money as him!]
