As soon as Duanmu Fei heard that Zhang Lan was coming, he immediately raised his head and looked in the direction pointed by Han Xing.

Sure enough—

At the entrance of the racecourse, a girl wearing an emerald embroidered orchid skirt and a crescent bun walked unhurriedly, with a slight smile on her lips. The girl's posture is straight, elegant and decent, and the posture that comes is as if it is measured out of a ruler, just right.

Not only Duanmu Fei was looking at Zhang Lan, but the other sons and girls around were also looking at Zhang Lan, and there was a faint whisper of everyone.

"Isn't that the fifth girl of the Zhang family?" A girl in purple asked a girl in yellow next to her in a curious lower voice.

The girl in yellow nodded, and her tone was a little meaningful, "It's 'that' Zhang Wu girl!" ”

The two exchanged a tacit look.

The news that Zhang Lan, the fifth girl of the Zhang family, openly refused to become the side concubine of the fourth prince had already spread in Beijing, and many people were very curious about this rumored fifth girl Zhang.

"This chapter is really ......"

The girl in purple bit the last word "temperament" between her teeth and did not say it, and looked around carefully, for fear that the wall would have ears, and some words would reach the ears of the queen or the fourth prince.

The others also had complicated expressions, some were curious, some appreciated, some showed admiration, some just watched the excitement, and some felt that the Zhang family was really fake and high-minded......

In the blazing gaze of everyone, Zhang Lan was still calm and calm, not affected at all. As early as when her family refused to marry, her father and mother had already told her about the various situations she might face and asked her about her choices.

Her choice is always the same, not for concubines.

The daughters of their Zhang family will not be so weak that they can't withstand a trace of wind and waves.

"Chapter 5 girl!" Duanmu Fei happily beckoned to Zhang Lan and motioned for her to come over.

Zhang Lan also saw Duanmu Fei and Han Xing, smiled at them, and was about to go over there, when a slender blue figure walked past her and gently bumped her arm.

Zhang Lan stopped, and saw two young girls, one blue and one pink, and a young man wearing a blue straight jacket walking briskly beside her.

The three of them walked all the way to the bamboo shed where Duanmu Fei and Han Xing were, and saluted Han Xing first, "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Princess." ”

Han Xing ignored them, turned his head and gave Duanmu Fei a very subtle look.

With the arrival of these three people, Duanmufei suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention, after all, no one knew that Duanmufei and Feng Yan were married by the emperor, and they were going to get married in the coming year, and Feng Yan had never been on good terms with other Feng family members because of the eldest princess of Anping.

But Feng Yan is surnamed Feng after all, since Duanmu Fei wants to marry Feng Yan, then it is impossible for her to disown Feng Yuanzhen and Feng Congyan, the two younger siblings.

"Fourth girl Duanmu."

Feng Yuanzhen and Feng Congyan respectively gave Duanmu a salute.

Feng Congyan has obviously dressed up carefully today, pink Baidie wears a flower-carved silk gown with a water-red long skirt, a green silk hair is tied in a double bun, wearing a ruby butterfly bead flower, and when she walks around and blesses her body, the butterfly's tentacles and wings tremble slightly.

"Fourth girl Duanmu," Feng Congyan half-lowered her eyes timidly, looking at Duanmu Fei's appearance as if she was a frightened little white rabbit, her voice was soft and weak, "Don't come to harm." ”

Duanmu smiled and bowed slightly, saying hello, not wanting to say much to the Feng family.

Feng Congyan pulled the other girl next to her forward and introduced, "Fourth girl Duanmu, this is my cousin of the Song family, her name is Wan'er. Cousin, this Duanmu Fourth Girl is Cousin Yan's fiancée, and everyone will be their own family in the future. ”

Surname?! Duanmu raised her eyebrows, remembering that the third sister of the concubine Feng was married to the Song family in Zhongzhou, and it seems that this Song cousin girl should be the girl of that family.

Song Wan'er was wearing a purple embroidered green calyx and plum collared long jacket, with a lilac-colored horse-faced skirt underneath, combed a double flat bun, a small melon seed face was delicate and beautiful, and the snow-white skin was fairer and flawless than the mutton fat white jade, which attracted the envious eyes of many girls around.

"Fourth girl Duanmu." Song Wan'er blessed Duanmu Fei and smiled.

Feng Congyan stroked her sleeves and said, "Fourth girl Duanmu, grandmother has been talking about the girl recently, when the girl is free, go to see her grandmother more, they are all a family, or should they move around more." ”

"I'll visit you another day." Duanmu smiled and agreed, but didn't say the specific date at all.

Many of the sons and girls around were human spirits, secretly exchanging glances.

Xiao Tian looked at Duanmu Fei on the side for a while, and looked at Feng Congyan, Feng Yuanzhen and Song Wan'er for a while, and also tasted a little strange from the dialogue and atmosphere of several of them.

Interesting. Xiao Tian watched the play with great interest.

Song Wan'er frowned slightly, pursed her lips when she wanted to speak, and said, "Fourth girl Duanmu, Cousin Yan went to the southern border, and my grandmother was very worried, and she often couldn't sleep, and she was haggard a lot......"

"Cousin, grandmother also knows that you are filial." Feng Congyan said with emotion, glancing at Duanmufei as if he meant something, and almost said that Duanmufei, the granddaughter-in-law who had not passed the door, was not filial.

Feng Congyan glanced at the patterns and lines drawn by Duanmu Fei on the table with tea, and said, "The fourth girl Duanmu still has something to do, so we won't bother." Without waiting for Duanmu Fei to agree, she pulled Song Wan'er away.

Feng Yuanzhen went in the other direction, smiled and walked towards a few familiar sons, and greeted each other lively.

Han Xing looked at the backs of Feng Congyan and Song Wan'er, and shrugged his shoulders inexplicably, "What are they doing?" "Except for Cousin Yan, this family is really weird!

"I don't know." Duanmu shook his head.

Since he didn't understand, Han Xing didn't want to.

At this time, Zhang Lan came closer, and Duanmu Fei affectionately pulled her to sit down beside her.

Of course, Zhang Lan also saw the patterns that Duanmu Fei painted on the table with tea, and asked curiously: "Duanmu Fourth Girl, are you going to end up later?" ”

"She can't." Han Xing sneered, "She plays polo by horses, not people." However, she has a good brain and is the most suitable for being a military advisor! ”

Han Xing pulled Duanmu Fei's little hand, "Cousin Scarlet, you just said which way the palace should go from......

The cousins were head to head and continued to talk about tactics.

Xiao Tian held his chin with one hand, pinched the melon seeds with the other, and looked at Feng Congyan and Song Wan'er absentmindedly.

The environment in which he grew up made it easy for him to see through the calculations in the eyes of the two girls.

So—

Are the two of them trying to calculate small grievances?

Xiao Tian's gaze slowly moved to the right, falling on the body of the little wrongdoer, just as Duanmu Fei raised his eyes to look at him.

"Xiao Gongzi, did I understand what I said just now?"

"Understood." Xiao Tian replied casually, and he didn't know if he was casually perfunctory with his lazy and contemptuous appearance.

While talking, there were more and more people in the racecourse, including at least 30 children and girls who participated in and watched the race, and everyone gathered in twos and threes to talk, and the racecourse became more and more lively.

Suddenly, there was a commotion from a bamboo shed in front of me, and it seemed that many people were echoing and applauding.

There is no need for Han Xing to order, Congzhen ran over there to take a look, and when he came back, Congzhen said with a radiant look: "Xingwang Shizi opened the handicap, and everyone is betting!" ”

As soon as Han Xing heard that the bet was coming, her eyes lit up, and she didn't want to pull up Duanmufei with one hand and Li Tingyou with the other, and said, "Let's go, let's bet together!" ”

Li Tingyou looked at the left hand that was grabbed by Han Xing, his body stiffened, and the roots of his ears flashed a faint pink, and he quickly walked forward with Han Xing as if nothing happened.

Xiao Tian clapped his hands, and he was also interested, and his eyes were as bright as the morning stars in the sky.

Ah.

Originally, he thought that it didn't matter if this polo match was won or lost, but if there was a bet, it would be different.

Xiao Tian glanced at Ling Bai, and the two of them also got up, and followed Duanmu Fei and Han Xing behind them.

The bamboo shed where the bet was placed was crowded and bustling at the moment, and everyone was betting one after another.

Originally, it was to open and play at will, so everyone was very casual, and the chips for betting were not limited to gold and silver, and some sons directly bet on their own jade pendants or daggers or something.

After a while, the basket was filled with gold, silver, silver tickets, jade ornaments, and other objects, all of which were full of jewels.

Xiao Tian is the best at observing words and feelings, and after watching five or six people place bets, he has a number in his heart, and casually untied a piece of jade jade pendant on his waist and bet it up.

His bet was not big or small, and it was not noticeable.

The bets here are lively, but Mu Zhiqin is unconcerned, and rolled her eyes at her brother Mu Huajin, thinking that he is not making noise about these things? ! Polo is the right thing for today!

Mu Huajin only pretended not to see his sister's disgusted eyes, looked at the pot leak on the side casually, and said, "Sister Qin, I see that the time is almost up, it's time to start the game." ”

Of course, Mu Zhiqin knew that her brother was changing the topic, and she didn't bother to bother with him, so she beckoned everyone who participated in today's competition to start preparing.

The two teams are divided into the red team and the blue team, and the players of the two teams wear red and blue ribbons on their foreheads respectively as a distinction, Hanxing's team is the red team, and Mu Zhiqin and Mu Huajin's team are the blue team, and each team has five men and five women.

A group of sons and girls have on the horse, the members of the two teams occupy both sides of the court, and the sons and girls on the horse are all standing tall and straddling the horseback, the instrument is lofty, and the heroic posture is radiant.

Xiao Tian was originally inconspicuous in the crowd, but at this moment, his appearance in Hanxing's team was a little abrupt.

In the team of the four princesses, all of them are the sons and daughters of the famous families, and all of them can be called famous, such as the fiancé of the fourth princess, Li Tingyou, such as Duanmujun, the eldest girl of the Duanmu family, and Wu Congsu, the cousin of the county lord of Dangui......

Only Xiao Tian's face is too unfamiliar.

"Sister Tang, do you know who the boy who rides a brown horse and wears green clothes is?" The girl in yellow curiously pointed to Xiao Tian, who was riding on a brown horse, and asked the girl in purple beside her.

The more the girl in yellow looked, the more she felt that something was wrong with Xiao Tian, the children of the powerful in the capital inevitably had contacts in the banquets of various families on weekdays, most of them were familiar, but Xiao Tian was completely Zhang Sheng's face. Looking at his dress, although he is dressed well, it doesn't look like it's tailor-made, it's more like he bought one in a ready-to-wear store.

Miss Tang quietly pulled the sleeve of the girl in yellow from below, and pointed to another bamboo shed next to her, "I just asked Sister Zhiqin about it, and this Xiao Gongzi was brought by the four girls of Duanmu." ”

As soon as she heard that it was the person brought by Duanmufei, the girl in yellow had a somewhat complicated expression, glanced at Duanmufei, and then withdrew her gaze.

Miss Tang was still talking: "Sister Zhiqin said that his name is Xiao Tian. I don't know which family it is. ”

"Xiao Tian." The girl in yellow muttered the name, not only her face, but this Xiao Gongzi even sounded very familiar.

"Boom!"

A heavy gong struck the attention of the two girls and the surrounding audience.

The polo match began.

A small guy stood in the middle of the field and threw a fist-sized white ball up......

"Gotta ......"

The sound of messy horses' hooves filled the entire racecourse, one after another, as fast as rain, as fast as lightning, and the knights on horseback held their poles and chased after the white balls on the field.

"Smack!"

Xiao Tian somehow leaned to the side of the body, leaning on the brown horse, and hit the bow ball with a shot, and the bow ball flew towards Li Tingyou quickly.

Li Tingyou didn't even look at it, so he waved his bow stick and hit the ball accurately, and the ball crossed the air like a meteor and flew into the goal accurately.

"Good!" Han Xing cheered with a bow stick on horseback, and several members of the red team struck each other in celebration with their bow sticks.

The crowd watching the game let out a burst of cheers, applause was like thunder, and Duanmu Fei also applauded vigorously in the bamboo shed, and said in his heart: Well, fortunately, Dongchang invited Xiao Tian back.

After that, the white ball returned to the middle of the court to kick off again, and the little guy threw it into the air again......

The blue team did not show weakness, and with the cooperation of Mu Zhiqin and Mu Huajin brothers and sisters, they won the second goal.

The two teams scored one goal each, and there was a feeling of being evenly matched, which made the atmosphere more and more enthusiastic, and the whole stadium was boiling, and many children and girls who watched the game cheered for the two goals just now.

Next, the game was in full swing on the court, and I saw the white ball flying back and forth under the swing of the stick stick, so fast that everyone's eyes often couldn't grasp its changes......

"Boom!"

Xiao Tian passed into the enemy camp alone, and with a tricky serpentine form in the blue team's horse, he simply won the third goal for the red team.

This goal was so beautiful that the audience applauded again and again, and the applause was like waves of the sea.

Duanmu wrinkled his little face, and his pupils were shining. What "understood", his guy didn't listen to her tactics at all!

But—

It's also interesting.

Suddenly, someone in the bamboo shed shouted: "His Royal Highness! ”

With a peculiar penetrating power, this shout spread throughout the three surrounding bamboo sheds watching the game.

Since the eldest prince Mu Youxian returned to Beijing, he has been serving the emperor in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and this is the first time he has appeared outside the palace.

Everyone didn't care about watching the game anymore, and they all looked towards the entrance of the racecourse.

Mu Youxian is wearing a straight jacket embroidered with indigo bamboo leaves today, with a long figure and a calm gaze, and his body is less youthful than two years ago, but a little more capable.

Everyone in the bamboo shed got up one after another, greeted each other with different expressions, some were surprised, some were apprehensive, some hesitated, some looked at it, and some people decided to stay away, after all, this is not something that anyone can fight for......

Everyone on the racetrack chased me fiercely, but there was silence in the bamboo shed, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

Soon, Mu Youxian walked outside the bamboo shed where Duanmu Fei was, and everyone saluted him, either as a bow or as a blessing, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Great Prince." ”

Mu Youxian smiled and motioned to everyone not to be polite, and then sat down next to Duanmu Fei, and the others also sat back.

"Scarlet cousin." Mu Youxian smiled gently at Duanmu Fei, this was also the second time they had met since he returned to the palace, "Hanxing sent someone into the palace two days ago to say that you came here to play polo today, and the palace will come to take a look." ”

Mu Youxian deliberately moved the time to come over today, the purpose was naturally not to watch the game, he wanted to see Duanmujun.

Mu Youxian looked at the crowd in the racecourse, and saw the girl in red riding a white horse at a glance.

Duanmujun was wearing a slim red riding suit, and she didn't wear too much jewelry on her head and body, but she was born beautiful, with jade skin and red lips, bright eyes, and when she galloped on a horse, her cheeks naturally flushed with a faint flush, and there was a bright and dazzling brilliance between Gu Pan, and she was heroic.

Mu Youxian looked at her with burning eyes, and his heart beat faster as if he was about to jump out of his chest, echoing in his ears like a drum.

Mu Youxian was the only one left in his eyes, and he watched her swing her cane and hit the ball accurately; He watched her ride a horse after Mu Zhiqin of the blue team; He watched her nimbly weave from crowd to crowd, dribbling and passing; He watched her wave her arms and cheer after the goal; He looked at her and frowned in annoyance at the goal conceded......

It wasn't until the earth-shattering gong sounded that Mu Youxian came back to his senses.

The first half of the game was over.

A burst of warm applause broke out in the bamboo shed, some people were still satisfied, some were complacent, and some were full of praise...... Someone else pouted.

"'Three to four', we actually lost in the first half!"

Han Xing pouted unwillingly, and his mouth was so upturned that he could hang the oil bottle.

Hanxing walked towards Duanmufei, and squeamishly "accused" Li Tingyou beside her: "Cousin You, how did you pass that ball to Su Su, it should be passed to the palace." If that goal goes in, it's a draw. ”

After galloping on the court for half an hour, Han Xing was already drenched in sweat, panting slightly, and his beautiful face was dyed with a moving flush, full of vitality.

In comparison, Li Tingyou still didn't blush and didn't pant, as if he had just walked around the court.

He didn't see the annoyance of losing, nor the ugliness of being blamed, but he still smiled politely, like a spring breeze, "That's right." ”

Han Xing chattered like a little sparrow:

"Cousin You, how good this palace is to you, at least seven or eight balls have been passed to you."

"This game is a must-win."

"It's better to be Xiaoxi, she and this palace have a tacit understanding......"

“……”

Basically, Han Xing was muttering there, and Li Tingyou was listening, laughing and replying from time to time with words like "yes", "good", "reasonable" and so on.

Xiao Tian, who was walking behind them, felt that he was about to be blinded, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he touched his chin and pondered: You have to be careful in the second half, he doesn't want to lose his jade pendant.

The halftime can rest for half an hour, and the maids of Xingwangfu have already been prepared, and the maids with blue and blue gowns come with trays and serve melons and fruits and tea to everyone.

Xiao Tian's eyes lit up, he pulled Ling Bai, and the two of them buried their heads in eating, not caring about what the people around them were saying or watching.

Han Xing pulled Duanmu Fei and Li Tingyou to discuss the tactics of the second half, Duanmu Jun felt a little bored, and after drinking a cup of tea, he simply stood up, planning to go to the small camphor forest outside the racecourse.

There were many people in the bamboo shed, and no one noticed that Duanmujun left, only Mu Youxian, who had been paying attention to Duanmujun's every move, noticed.

He looked around and saw that everyone was discussing the game, and no one was paying attention to him, so he also stood up and followed quietly.

Compared with the hustle and bustle in the racecourse, the camphor forest outside is quiet and peaceful, and the rays of sunlight sprinkle dappled light and shadow on the ground through the gaps in the camphor leaves, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance of camphor trees.

"Cousin."

Mu Youxian walked behind Duanmu Jun in three steps and two steps, and called out to her, his heart began to pound again with this shout.

------Off topic------

It seems that the book review section has been closed again, so it's no wonder that I wondered why no one left a message all afternoon yesterday......
