The next morning, Anning woke up with a hangover and some headaches, and the wine he drank yesterday seemed to be a little different, just a few glasses to get drunk. A servant girl named Dofu brought her a new dress and put it on her, and a servant girl brought her breakfast.

An Ning had breakfast and wanted to say goodbye to the princess, Qingfeng said: "Back to the county lord, the princess is still exercising, and she has been instructed, the county lord does not have to say goodbye." ”

An Ning was a little stunned, she still came to the garden, and stood not far away, watching Shen Mengxi boxing under the tree.

Suddenly, the princess was quite unfamiliar, except for the grief and helplessness when she first lost her husband, the princess seemed to have forgotten Xue Shao, her face could not see sadness and joy, and there was less trust and dependence on her before.

The princess under the tree, only wearing a dress, the top is long to the knees, fat and big, very elegant, the peace at this moment, like a heavy boat, calmly in the river, moving and closing open, soft and powerful, and endless. It seems to be all inadvertent, but it seems to be familiar with it, and it has already been boxed thousands of times.

She suddenly turned around and pushed her hand vigorously, and looked at An Ning with an awe-inspiring glance, An Ning only felt thrilled, and her breathing was stagnant, until the princess's move changed and her eyes shifted, she felt relaxed, breathed a sigh of relief, silently squatted down and saluted, and turned around and left.

When she got into the carriage, she was a little surprised to see that Qingfeng also followed her maidservant up.

"The county lord, the princess ordered the maid to send the county lord back to the house, and the carriage behind it was also loaded with new overseas melons and fruits and perfumes from the palace."

An Ning's expression was complicated, knowing that although the princess was angry, she was still willing to take care of herself. For a while, mixed feelings.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, several servants and maids were waiting at the door, and those who knew the breeze hurriedly went in to report.

Mrs. Wang personally received Qingfeng, and thanked with a smile: "An Ning, this child is not sensible, he bothered the princess yesterday, and today he worked hard for Qingfeng Maiden, which is really ill-conceived by the Wang family." ”

After speaking, he also hinted that the maid next to him stuffed a purse into Qingfeng.

Qingfeng generously accepted the purse, thanked Mrs. Wang, and said with a smile: "The princess and the county lord have always had a deep sisterhood, and they have only been seen for many days because the princess is recuperating." Yesterday, the princess county lord talked happily about the wine and talked at night, which was very free. The princess is reluctant to go home this morning! ”

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was smiling, she said, "The princess ordered her maid to bring two baskets of fresh melons and fruits newly given in the palace for Madame to taste." The servant has to go back to serve Her Royal Highness, so she will retire. ”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly thanked her and ordered someone to send Qingfeng out.

She was waiting to say something to An Ning, and An Ning had taken the maid back to her residence without saying a word.

Ha! This is too unruly, but it is a one-night stay in the princess's mansion, and when you come back, you dare to leave without saluting!

Mrs. Wang was about to drink her, but suddenly remembered the breeze that had not yet walked out of the door, gritted her teeth, and endured it.

******

When the autumn breeze was getting cooler, someone from Qingyun Villa reported that the polo field had been repaired, and the princess was asked to inspect it at any time.

Shen Mengxi posted to the county lord of Anning, the county lord of Qixia and Sun Shiyi Niang, inviting them to go to Qingyun Villa to take a hot spring and play polo.

Carefully calculated, Taiping did not have close friends.

Her two half-sisters, much older than her, were born to Concubine Xiao Shu, grew up in the cold palace, and were married to an ordinary military attache by the military queen, and they never had any contact with each other.

Of Li Shimin's fourteen sons, three died young, six died unexpectedly, and three were exiled, all of whom died well. So there are not many uncles and sisters at all.

- The people of the Li family have murder in their bones, like to rebel, and kill relatives at every turn.

There are very few of the two dozen princesses who live long, and most of their children are not satisfactory. Therefore, the seemingly flowery royal family is actually not worthy of the envy of the world.

Taiping can have a happy marriage for seven years, which is an outlier.

The county lord of Qixia, Dugujing, is the same as An Ning, only has the name of the county lord and has no food. At 19 years old, as the name suggests, he is very quiet. Usually I don't have as much contact with peace as Anning, but I have always kept in touch.

Dugujing's ancestral family is a family gatekeeper, her mother is Princess Ankang, her father died on the battlefield in the early years, and Ankang is one of the few widowed princesses who did not remarry.

Qi Xia got married the year before last, her husband Luo Liancheng served in Zuo Yu Lin Jun, and her father-in-law Luo Xun was a waiter in the Ministry of Works.

Only the sons and nephews of officials above the fourth rank are qualified to serve as the forbidden army duty to protect the Son of Heaven. Luo Liancheng spent one-third of the year on duty in the palace, and after two years of marriage, Dugu Jing's stomach had not moved, but fortunately, her husband's family did not urge, nor did she give Luo Liancheng a concubine.

The husband and wife respect each other like guests, and Dugujing gets along with her in-laws very well, which is a rare good temper among the princess county lords.

At that time, the martial arts family was in the limelight, and the martial family had many cousins, cousins, cousins, cousins, and cousins, all of whom were good at playing polo, but Shen Mengxi didn't want to contact them.

How many people are looking forward to an invitation from Princess Taiping, Sun Shiniang didn't want to go yet, Shen Mengxi sent someone to send Sun Yicheng two jars of "Western Regions Wine", and she came obediently.

The stadium is renovated, the hill has built a new building promenade, the new horse house has been built in the distance, the stadium is "looking at it flat, looking down like a mirror", the goal is a big wooden board, painted with colorful patterns, it is very eye-catching, the wooden board is buried vertically in the ground, the part that exposes the ground is a round hole of about 50 centimeters, there is a net bag behind the hole, and the net bag is scored by hitting the net bag.

Polo is slightly larger than tennis, wooden, tough and light, with a hollow center and a colorful pattern painted on the surface.

The stick is about one meter two long, different sizes, the tip is like a glaive scimitar, or more like a hockey stick, the stick is carved with exquisite patterns, which can be non-slip and very beautiful.

The team can be a group of more than a dozen people, or a group of four, or even two groups of players are not equal, and the two teams wear uniform clothes and one goalkeeper. There is one referee in the field, two people are recorded, and for each goal scored, the record is responsible for planting an embroidered flag behind the goal of the winning team.

At this time, the four women stood in twos and twos, each wearing red and blue narrow-sleeved robes, wearing black boots, holding a club, riding on a horse heroically, and four other guards were also wearing red and blue clothes, and the eight of them formed two teams, with Lu Jingyi as the referee.

Polo is a risky sport, often there are more than 20 horses running fast on the court, and there are clubs waving, often causing horses to collide, clubs accidentally injure players accidents, so injuries, blindness, death is very many.

However, the Li royal family originated from Xianbei, and although polo is dangerous, it can fully demonstrate the spirit of the three armies, so polo has become a royal pastime and entertainment and has been prosperous for a long time.

Up and down, the princes and ministers have also practiced a lot of good skills, and even the women of the family are often good at polo.

Sun Shiyi Niang, hehe, she is obviously not. Her horsemanship is good, and she has no problem galloping horses, but she is not brave enough.

Shen Mengxi passed the ball to her, she also greeted her with a horse, while subconsciously shrinking her head to protect her face, as long as anyone hit the ball, she subconsciously turned her head, as if every ball was going to her face.

Shen Mengxi couldn't cry or laugh.

- Well, it is understandable for a woman who is going to marry to cherish her appearance.

Fortunately, they are just exercising their muscles and bones for entertainment, and they have no intention of winning or losing.

Shen Mengxi gradually regained her old feelings, when the horse was running, she could even feel the tension of the horse's muscles, holding the cane in her hand, the moment she hit the wooden ball, "Duh! With a bang, all the cells in her body danced, she enjoyed the feeling, this was the most primitive and true reaction from this body, at the moment it was perfectly integrated with her soul, strange and compatible, she was simply fascinated by this pleasure.

Soon after the opening, Shen Mengxi drove the horse close to the goal, and several guards had accompanied Shen Mengxi to practice the ball before, at this time, he picked up a pass knowingly, Shen Mengxi gently stopped the ball with a stick, stopped the ball slightly, and vigorously reflexively pumped the ball, "Duh! The wooden ball enters the door and falls into the net sac.

Hahahaha! Shen Mengxi laughed heartily. And they lifted up their rods in celebration.

The so-called "no one dares to take the lead, and the Son of Heaven sends the ball by the door." The princess is the biggest on the court, she takes the lead first, and everyone is much more comfortable behind, let go of the fight, you come and go, it is very free.

The field is huge, and there are only six horses galloping, which is really comfortable.

People and horses are sweating, and the autumn breeze is blowing, and it is very pleasant.

When you sweat, there is a fresh breeze, and when you are thirsty, there is a fresh breeze to bring water. It's a happy life.

Shen Mengxi took the water bladder handed by Qingfeng on the sidelines, took a sip of water, leaned over and patted the horse's head to express his appreciation, and the horse paced excitedly, expecting to throw himself into the next run.

Being attracted to this sport so easily, Shen Mengxi analyzed that he had no adventure factor, although he has always liked horseback riding, but he has never set foot in extreme sports adventure sports, and now, he can't stop.

She rode her horse and galloped, who cares about him, who has the time to think about this!

A guard named Zhang Qian, who cooperated tacitly with An Ning, assisted one after another, allowing her to score three goals, An Ning was full of energy, and there was no frustration the day before.

Sun Shiniang was infected, and she relaxed a lot, the court has no size, no one minds the level of identity, and she has to rely on the real chapter in her hand to speak.

The score on the field was already nineteen-eighteen, Shen Mengxi's red team was ahead, and Sun Shiniang took the initiative to retreat to the goal and exchanged with the original guards.

That Zhang Qian is really wise and brave, virtual and real, the horse catches up with the wooden ball, pretending to pass to An Ning, Shen Mengxi and a few people hurriedly return to the defense, but he suddenly stopped the ball, used the stick to dribble the ball straight in, and went towards the goal.

Sun Shiniang suddenly panicked, even her horse was infected with uneasiness, and the horse's hooves kept stepping on the ground. She still didn't give the horse instructions.

"Eleven Niang! Stopped! Shen Mengxi shouted while turning the horse's head.

Sun Shiniang trembled, hurriedly rode her horse to block the goal, held the club with her right hand, and kept waving.

Zhang Qian has already launched an attack here, he is a burly man, with the momentum and oppression of a man in the army, Sun Shiniang is petite and shrinks on a horse, and seems to have been shocked by the other party.

Zhang Qian suddenly hung his body on the horse's belly, and the stick lightly picked up the wooden ball, and with a volley, the wooden ball spun towards the goal under the horse's belly, quickly and powerfully.

Shen Mengxi ran towards the goal, but saw Sun Shiyi Niang, who was still in a daze just now, and suddenly leaned over to block the cane, the ball was very tricky, almost touching the ground, Sun Shiyi Niang's sincerity came again,—— when she became a goalkeeper, she felt that she had to guard the goal, no matter what.

But the spinning ball suddenly turned in a veer, brushed her staff, and shot into the goal. She herself was planted headfirst down because of her excessive force. Shen Mengxi, who came to help, pulled the reins, lost the club with her right hand, and scooped up Sun Shiniang's belt with her hand, her strength was insufficient, she didn't pick it up, and she was almost taken off the horse. However, it also alleviated Sun Shiniang's falling momentum, she just fell off the horse lightly.

Several people dismounted one after another to check her injuries, Sun Shi Niang touched her arms, legs and feet, and said with a smile: "Thank you princess for saving me, Shi Niang is fine." Zhang Qian jumped off the horse neatly and apologized to Sun Shiniang.

She also smiled and said it was okay.

"Dead eyes, the ball goes in, you have to pounce on the ball?" Shen Mengxi frowned and said in his heart, how could that cunning Sun Yicheng have such a sincere granddaughter.

Eleven Niang bowed her head and said nothing, silently getting on the horse.

"Can you still fight?"

Eleven Niang nodded, "Yes!" ”。

"Let's serve!" Shen Mengxi also turned over and got on the horse.

The rest of the people also quickly got on their horses.

After a fall, Sun Shiniang seemed to have no psychological barrier, and she found that a fall was nothing more than that. With a scolding, he swung his staff to hit the ball, and the wooden ball flew into the distance, and several horses quickly pursued it.

Because it was the last game to decide the winner, everyone was a little nervous, and after a few rounds, the wooden ball came to Sun Shiniang's goal again, this time, she calculated the right time, attacked in advance, intercepted the shot, and hit the ball fiercely on the opposite field.

"Good!" Shen Mengxi shouted hello for her decisiveness.

In the next second, there was a scream, it turned out to be impartial, the wooden ball was hitting the head of An Ning's mount, the horse was frightened, and the horse galloped wildly, and An Ning screamed several times and almost fell.

The sudden change stunned Shen Mengxi, but saw that Zhang Qian and Lu Jingyi had galloped on horseback, catching up with the startled horse running wildly, Lu Jingyi grabbed the reins, and Zhang Qian leaned over and hugged Anning, took An Ning into his arms, and put it right in front of him. The crowd breathed a long sigh of relief.

Shen Mengxi went over to check on An Ning, and saw that she was only a little frightened, and there were no external injuries, so she was relieved.

Over there, Sun Shiniang, who was pale-faced, galloped over, got off the horse and immediately knelt on the ground to plead guilty, without saying a word, kowtowing more than once. Everyone knew that she was unintentional, and injuries on the court were common. But this has to be said by An Ning, and even Shen Mengxi is not good at saying anything first.

An Ning looked at the subdued frightened horse, her heart palpitated, she also had the experience of falling off the horse, but it was a beginner when she was a child, riding a pony, this time, she really thought that she would be knocked to the ground by the frightened horse, and then stepped on a foot, and her heart had already wailed that my life was over.

She stretched out her hand and pointed at Sun Shiniang, trembling and speechless.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the princess standing beside Sun Shiniang, and she suddenly woke up.

"Sun Niangzi, hurry up, the ball game will inevitably have accidents." No matter how much I forgive, I really can't say it.

Shen Mengxi picked up Sun Shiyi Niang, "I can't afford it!" Go check the pulse of the county lord! ”

Sun Shiniang didn't get up, walked to An Ning's body, bowed down to check her pulse, and then said in a low voice: "Fortunately, the county lord is fine, but he was frightened, just take some medicine to calm the nerves." ”

The game ended like this, and An Ning was sent back to her room to rest.

Shen Mengxi regretted a little, he shouldn't have insisted on asking Sun Shiniang to come out. It's only been half a year, and you've become accustomed to thinking about things with self-centeredness, and have you forgotten to put yourself in the shoes of others?

"Eleven Niang, it's hard for you." It was a tactful apology from the princess. "Why don't I send someone to take you back tomorrow morning."

Sun Yiniang's eyes were moist, she lowered her head, and shook her head resolutely. Her grandfather was just an eight-grade doctor, she was not qualified to associate with the princess and the county lord, today's ball game was her glory, but how could she be so stupid, she could hit the horse's head with a ball. She was devastated.

Shen Mengxi smiled, "Then give An Ning a calming prescription, the county lord is not a stingy person, and he won't really mind." ”

There was a medical officer from the Imperial Doctor's Department in the accompanying team, and Shen Mengxi intended to let Sun Shiyi Niang prescribe a prescription, but he didn't want to hold a grudge against Anning. Sun Shiyi Niang knelt on the ground and kowtowed three heads, "How fortunate Eleven Niang is, to be cared for and blessed by the princess, it is Eleven Niang's skills that are not perfect, and she almost injured the county lord's noble body, and Eleven Niang is to blame for her death." ”

"Isn't this quite good at talking, how can you look like a saw-beaked gourd to the county lord." Shen Mengxi looked at her funny, "Where did you bump?" ”

"Princess Lao is worried, but her elbow and knee bumped, and it's fine."

Shen Mengxi didn't ask much, "Let's go and open a prescription." ”

After prescribing the prescription, Shen Mengxi looked at it, asked people to send it to grab the medicine, and then pulled Sun Shiyi Niang to An Ning's room, "An Ning, Shi Yi Niang is still young, and the fright she was given today is really worse than An Ning, I don't know what to do, and I keep saying that it is difficult to die." An Ning quickly forgive her and let her sleep well tonight. ”

Sun Shiniang knelt down next to her and kowtowed and formally apologized.

An Ning smiled heartily, "Since the princess has an order, naturally everything is obeyed!" She replied with a smile, and then said to Sun Shiniang: "Hmph, you are blessed, you are just frightened today, if you break a little oily skin, the county lord will find that Sun Yicheng to settle accounts!" Now unscathed, that's all! Sun Niangzi, and be relieved! Look, you still have to be a sufferer to comfort you, hahaha! ”

Sun Yiniang's face was red and speechless.

That's how it was revealed.

Later, the Sun family went to the Wang family to apologize with a heavy gift, but An Ning did not accept it, and the Sun family sent it twice, and An Ning accepted it.

Shen Mengxi never invited Sun Shiniang to participate in similar activities, the difference in status was too great, and it was a kind of torture for a girl with a character like Sun Shiniang.

Half a year later, in the spring, Sun Shiniang got married, and Shen Mengxi sent a congratulatory gift and added makeup. Although they are all decent gifts, how many ladies in Luoyang City can get Princess Taiping to add makeup? Eleven Niang's husband's family is very glorious, and he does not dare to despise this daughter-in-law who is not good at speaking.

Later, Shen Mengxi never saw Sun Shiniang again, and heard that she was pregnant soon after marriage, and her husband's family attached great importance to her, and Shen Mengxi also breathed a sigh of relief.

She suddenly felt so embarrassed, her body and soul belonged to two circles, she liked the character of Sun Niangzi, but people stayed away.

She hated the hypocrisy and splendor of the royal family, but she couldn't help herself and put herself in it.
