Chapter 8 The Twilight Polo Club
After January, it ushered in the twilight of Chang'an.
Although there are a lot of flowers, the green onion on Chang'an Street is also pleasing to the eye, but the little ladies in this polo club today are enough to decorate the scenery of late spring.
Huanhuatang, Xie Ying combed the double-ring hanging bun, then shook her head, and the servant woman immediately sighed: "Lady, this is the order of the eldest lady." ”
Xie Ying didn't bother to ignore her, she only held the bun with her hand, glanced at the red leaves before saying, "Will this bun fall apart!" ”
The servant woman suddenly realized and hurriedly explained: "It is enough to play polo. ”
She looked in the mirror again, and then picked up a red flower hairpin and put it up, "That's it!" ”
The flowers are matched with her rouge hakama, and a black tie is also replaced at the waist, and some flowers are embroidered with gold thread on it, which Zhou used to replace her tufts, and in the robe, the white middle coat will split the color, just right.
When Xie Ying rode the horse she brought back from Liangzhou and entered the polo field, she became the most eye-catching little lady in the audience.
The high platform is divided into two by a gauze screen, and men and women are seated. At this moment, the ladies are already hotly discussed.
"On horseback!"
"The only one who can do this is the second lady who knows martial arts in the Northwest Hou Mansion!"
"She's Xie Ying!" ……
Xie Ying turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to Hongye, and after being conspicuous, she returned to Zhou's side obediently, and the mother and daughter went to the high platform of the daughter.
Zhou shook his head lightly with a helpless expression, and with just the right smile, Xie Ying smiled and talked to Zhou.
And King Chen leaned on the railing, taking in Xie Ying's every move.
However, the little ladies on the side did not stop, "Has she always been in Liangzhou?" ”
"I don't know how she wenmo?"
"What kind of writing and ink can a person who practices martial arts have?"
"How many days will it be the twilight of spring, do you want to invite her?"
Xie Yingcai walked up to the high platform, and when he heard them discussing, he immediately asked in a low voice: "A-Niang, what is Lanting Collection?" ”
"You'll find out in a few days." Zhou responded and bowed to everyone, and pulled Xie Ying forward.
On the high platform, the queen dominates, and the only people who can sit in front of and behind the queen are His Majesty's elders and sisters.
Among them is Zhou's mother, the eldest princess of Pingning. "Mother!"
"Grandmother!" Xie Ying's soulful eyes smiled.
The eldest princess of Pingning got up early, and had already looked at Xie Ying's body, and her eyes suddenly showed joy, "The second lady is getting better and better!" ”
Saying that, Ping Ning's gaze was not glancing at the railing, and Gorou was more and more able to think of her aunt these days, just for the little lady in red in front of him.
It's a pity that Gorou is not there now, so she has no choice but to give up, so she holds Xie Ying's hand tighter, "You will sit with me today!" ”
Zhou hurriedly politely said: "Mother, where can she sit?" ”
Xie Ying bit her lip and smiled, and Ping Ning immediately defended her: "How old is she, what are you doing in a restrained manner!" ”
With Pingning's support, Xie Ying immediately pleased: "If there is any good lottery today, as long as my grandmother likes it, I will win it back and honor you!" ”
"Good!" Ping Ning was content to lead her to sit in front of her.
The queen then sat down, and Pingcheng also sat down in the first row, swept all around, and fell on Xie Ying, her face immediately appeared unhappy, remembering the queen's rebuke to her before, she was even more disgusted with Xie Ying.
"Why is she here!"
The queen looked at Pingcheng's gaze, and her eyes immediately showed joy, "Pingning Huanggu'an, it's rare to see you come to the polo club." ”
Ping Ning glanced at the queen and only said "um".
Xie Ying thought that he had already worshiped just now, and when he saw Pingcheng staring at him viciously, he had no choice but to pretend not to know.
The queen was a little embarrassed, so she had to push the flat city, "I haven't seen your aunts yet." ”
"I'm not going!" Pingcheng didn't want Xie Ying to see his appearance, and directly rejected the queen.
It happened that the eunuch under the high platform led two palace maids with things in their hands, and said loudly: "Her Royal Highness the Queen's Caitou: Twelve pieces of Luanfeng golden hairpins!" ”
The people on the high platform were in an uproar, the nine phoenix feather hairpins of the Luan Feng Golden Hairpin Palace, four auspicious cloud hairpins, two peony sideburns, and a Luan Feng main hairpin were even more lifelike, and the most important thing was that the ruby inlaid with the phoenix eyes came from the Western Regions.
This is just one of the sixteen sets of noodles given by the Chen family when the queen was crowned queen.
"Do you like it?"
Ping Ning saw that King Chen was about to move, so he naturally wanted to give the two of them this opportunity, but Xie Ying shook his head at the moment, "Grandmother, I don't like these luxurious gold objects. ”
"But my grandmother likes it." Ping Ning caught a glimpse of King Chen and saw that King Chen was no longer in his position, and continued to persuade.
"Then I'll win it back for my grandmother."
"Okay!" Seeing Xie Ying get up, Gao Tai began to discuss again.
"Xie Ying is the lady who followed Marquis Xie to the battlefield, what else is there to compare to?" A little lady immediately made a mistake and stepped back.
"I don't dare go." There was a little lady who echoed it.
Such words fell on Pingcheng's ears and ignited her anger, "Xie Erniang is not as good as me fighting you!" ”
Xie Ying raised her eyebrows lightly, looking at Pingcheng's arrogant appearance, although she hated it, but she couldn't refuse the current scene, she was afraid......
"Okay." After Xie Ying responded, she left on her own.
Seeing that Pingcheng was about to catch up, the queen hurriedly grabbed her sleeve: "The three of them are opposite, you call your third brother." ”
Pingcheng was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "The third brother won't ...... again"
Looking at the gloom in the queen's eyes, Pingcheng's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he could only compromise, "I know." ”
Hongye was leading Xie Ying's horse and was rushing forward, when someone suddenly stopped her behind her, "Xie Er Niang!" ”
Xie Ying looked back, and a gentle-looking lady looked at her with a smile on her face. If it weren't for the fact that this hakama robe added some heroism, this must also be a restrained lady.
"You are?"
"My surname is Song, and my name is Jinqin." Song Niangzi's serious appearance was still a little jerky, "Can I play polo with you?" ”
Xie Ying's eyes were bright, and he nodded immediately, "I'm worried about who is playing polo with me!" ”
"Eldest sister, I'm here with you!" Then followed a twelve-year-old boy, who looked beautiful and was the Erlang of the Song family, "Song Quan." ”
Song Quan greeted Xie Ying again, "This is the sister-in-law of the Xie family!" ”
"Erlang, don't talk nonsense!" Song Jinqin's cheeks couldn't hold back for a moment, and she looked at Xie Ying embarrassedly, "The second lady is not strange, the second lady is still young, and there is no cover between his words." ”
Xie Ying actually didn't understand what they were talking about, so she had to laugh and laugh, "It's okay, just play polo together!" ”
Song Quan stuck out her tongue, Song Jinqin was relieved when she didn't care, and the three of them went to the racecourse.
