Chapter 20: Spring Sleepiness

Winter goes to spring and returns.

Nanzhan seems to have no winter, it is warm and warm at all four times, there is no ice and no snow, if you don't see the new shoots, you won't notice, and in the blink of an eye I spent another four seasons here.

At the end of the first month, the weather began to warm up, the spring grass grew very well, the number of nobles playing polo gradually increased, and several spring circles were held in Jiankang City one after another, but no one in the palace started. I waited for someone to post, invited me to play polo, and waited for the apricot blossoms to fall, and then waited for Tao Guifei's post.

The polo will be held in the grassland in the western suburbs, far from the city, not far away, not close to the close, set off when the sky is light, stop and go, stop and go, and it takes a lot of tossing to arrive. Yu Gui was afraid that I was not familiar with the route, so as soon as I received the news, I volunteered to be my guide.

The grass in the meadow is not very deep, but it is also green, and there are seats around the field, which can seat hundreds of people. At the top of the middle seat is the position of Tao Guifei, Mei Xianfei and several lady ladies, and at the back of the race, there is a large place to change clothes and eat and rest, with built-in private rooms, separate men and women, and a man-made stream in the middle.

Seeing that Ankang was talking happily, it was not easy to disturb, looked around, and found Yunkang in a quiet corner, who didn't seem to wake up yet, leaning on the small table to support his cheeks and napping, and the big white cat squatted at her feet obediently, licking his paws comfortably. I pulled Yu Gui and walked straight towards Yun Kang, Yu Gui hurriedly grabbed my hand, winked playfully, signaled me not to make a sound, and then tiptoed behind Yun Kang, and screamed so loudly that Yun Kang shuddered, Yu Gui laughed, and waited for Yun Kang to settle accounts with her. Yunkang still has a good temper, so he doesn't care, he turns his head to look at me and shakes his head and smiles bitterly.

Several people in the room heard the movement and looked at us in unison. At this time, a girl wearing orange clothes and beautiful eyebrows took the lead in speaking: "The missing princess is here." Why didn't anyone spread the word? As he spoke, he walked towards me and held me affectionately.

I smiled reluctantly, I didn't know how to call it, I nodded vigorously, but I felt that this person's enthusiasm was too much for me to bear. I hurriedly searched for a gap and pulled out my arm without a trace, and stood beside Yu Gui.

Yu Gui raised his eyebrows, came over with his ear, and explained to me one by one: "The person wearing orange clothes standing on the right side of Ankang is Tao Guifei's niece and Tao Xu'er, the eldest daughter of Tao Shangshu's family. Slightly older than all of us, you can call Sister Tao. Attention, she is not a difficult master to get along with, with a honey-bellied sword, and loves to hold high and step low. The one in purple clothes on the left is Sheng Yunjiang, the youngest daughter of General Sheng Shizhen, who is about the same age as you, just follow me and call her by her name. ”

Yu Gui asked me to pay attention to it, just because they are all practicing rituals in Shangshuyuan, and we will definitely meet often in the future.

Ankang walked briskly, stepped forward a few steps, and Lang laughed: "I looked at the door and it took you to arrive." Say, you two are late, let us wait for this half a day, what kind of crime should we be guilty of? ”

I said helplessly: "What you want, you say."

Ankang was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "This is what you said, and you are not allowed to go back." You're a great horseman, and you're sure to play the ball well. Later, you deliberately lost us by two strokes to make amends. ”

I smiled with relief and nodded lightly in agreement: "I'll let you let you." Later, when we get to the field, I'll let you have two shots. ”

With my horse skills, it's not a problem to make two strokes, but eight strokes out of ten. I grew up on horseback, following Ah Zhao since I was a child, riding a horse on the boundless grassland and galloping, this small grassland is not a problem for me.

Sheng Yunjiang, who was watching from the sidelines, laughed when he heard this: "As bad as your polo play, even if the princess releases water and lets you play two shots, you can't win, why bother." ”

"Who said that, I'm very good, if you don't believe Yunkang, she will know how my ball skills are." Ankang was displeased, and urged Yunkang to testify.

Yun Kang, who was always standing at the end, didn't expect to suddenly call himself, he was still squinting, and came back coldly, and said blankly: "Does the second sister want to eat the fruit, the fruit is really good, sweet but not greasy." ”

An Kang sneered, poked Yunkang's head with his fingers, and said with hatred: "In addition to eating and sleeping, you have been eating Qin Luoxue's stupid pig recently."

This scolding made everyone laugh.

Zhan Lu frowned, gently pulled Yunkang's sleeve, and reminded in a low voice: "Miss, this is not what Second Miss said."

Yun Kang was still confused: "What is that?"

Tao Yu'er sneered: "It is said that the fifth sister is not good at words and is slow to react, but now it seems that not only that, you also have some ears." If you are hungry and eat a few more pieces of fruit, as if you have never eaten in your life, why is there still a shortage of food in your family? Seeing that you don't look like you've woken up, this toss must be enough to choke, in this case, it's better to say that you can't come early, anyway, playing polo is a must for us concubines, and it has little to do with you. ”

Yunkang's face was as usual, and he listened to Tao Yu'er's sarcasm without dropping, but he didn't refute it, but Ankang, who was protecting the calf, said with a dark face: "It is said that Sister Tao is demure and gentle, hum, but I didn't think that she was also a quick tongue." How can our family compare to your uncle's mansion, we have been eating fruits for several lifetimes, all of them are precious fruits, we eat them every day, eat them every day, and everyone is about to eat the fruits. No wonder, when I looked at Sister Tao recently, how she looked like a piece of cake! ”

"What do you mean, what do you say?" Tao Xu'er's face turned blue in an instant, and she couldn't laugh anymore, staring at Ankang with horizontal eyes, and she was about to pinch it up at any time.

Ankang was not afraid, his apricot eyes widened, and he asked with a sneer: "Are you behind your ears?" Still, I want to hear me a few more times. ”

"Yun Xiaowu!" Someone shouted in surprise behind the curtain, and the room was instantly silent.

Everyone turned around, and it was Qin Luoxue who opened the curtain and came in, smiling. After taking a few steps closer, I greeted a few girls and said hello, and naturally walked towards Yunkang, almost jumping in front of her.

"What about Changji? He didn't come? I stared out of the house, but I didn't see him.

Qin Luoxue said in a lazy tone: "He's on the horse farm." At this time, he was preparing for a polo game with His Royal Highness the Prince, Wu Pingqi, and Tao Jialiulang. ”

I was silent, and then said, "Then why don't you go and prepare, what are you doing here?"

An Kang also deliberately asked him why he was here, and when he saw that I asked first, he was busy pricking up his ears to listen to his answer.

"Naturally, I'm here to see Yun Xiaowu."

He said it so cheerfully, completely ignoring the reactions of the few people present, just watching Yun Kang smile heartily. The smile was even stronger: "Yun Xiaowu, I have seen the list, you will have to play later." You're on the yellow team, I'm on the red team, you're an opponent, but don't worry, I'll definitely protect you. ”

Yoon-kang didn't listen to him carefully, and only focused on teasing the cat.

An Kang's face gradually changed, and he was slightly angry: "You are blind." There are so many people, and only Yunkang is seen alone. ”

It's not loud, but it can be heard clearly. Yun Kang was stunned when he heard this, his ears instantly burned red, and he hurriedly moved his position, dodging left and right to avoid Qin Luoxue. Qin Luoxue has no fear, Yun Kang will follow if he moves a step.

Yu Gui and I looked at the nose and nose and the heart, and saw everything clearly, but we couldn't break it, and the words stopped when they came to their mouths.

The pottery over there was the first to break the tranquility, and the willow eyes slightly stared at Yunkang, who lowered his head and pretended to be obedient to the cat's back, and deliberately raised his voice a few degrees and said: "The little grandfather is so interested in Yunkang, how can no one be present." You haven't seen other people's sister's face so ugly, I'm afraid that they are very dissatisfied with your favoritism. ”

Although Ankang couldn't get used to Tao Xu'er as a person, when he saw her mention what he thought in his heart, he also let her go and didn't open his mouth to refute.

Qin Luoxue withdrew her gaze from Yun Kang, and said coldly to Tao Xu'er: "What does this have to do with you, who I care about, and what does it have to do with you, a living person who can't be beaten with eight poles."

Yu Gui smiled, squeezed his eyebrows at me, and was silent, Tao Yu'er was ashamed and annoyed, eager to slap Qin Luoxue, but he took too much care of it, and attributed his anger to Yunkang, and viciously slashed Yunkang with his eyes. At the right time, the maid behind Tao Xu'er reminded her in a low voice that she should go to the stable to select horses to prepare for the event, but let her take the opportunity to seize the opportunity, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai: "What's in a hurry, what is yours is yours, and you can't get it if it's not yours." Hmph, shit, can you take care of my business? The maid buried her head and did not dare to say anything, so she scolded her.

Yu Gui couldn't laugh anymore.

I really couldn't listen to it, this wave of foul language actually came from the mouth of a noble daughter of a noble family, and I suddenly felt extremely harsh, and I cast my disgusted gaze without concealment.

I patted Yunkang on the shoulder, rolled my eyes and said, "Where did the crow come from, it's really annoying."

Yu Gui snorted and laughed unabashedly again. "It's either a crow or a sparrow."

Sheng Yunjiang, who came with Tao Xu'er, blushed shyly, hurriedly tugged at her sleeve, and muttered, "Don't say it."

Tao Xu'er felt that she had gained momentum, and she became more and more energetic, and said with a gun and a stick: "Oh, I forgot, I can't blame the slave and the maid at will, and the slave and the maid may also become the biological mother of the master." Alas, the bloodline of our aristocratic lineage is not completely orthodox, and there are not no examples of lowly blood mixed in, right, Sister Yunkang? ”

Because I didn't understand what they were talking about, I couldn't speak for Yunkang, so I had to pull her over and protect her. I went to ask Ankang, and although she couldn't bear it, she didn't reply to me and didn't open her mouth to defend Yunkang.

Yunkang's face was pale, and I held her cold hand as if I were in an ice cellar.

"Don't go too far."

Qin Luoxue saw that Yun Kang was so uncomfortable, and the anger that he tried to contain burst out again, but he couldn't do anything to a woman, and was about to make a sarcastic remark, when he was suddenly pulled by Yun Kang, Yun Kang shook his head, his eyes were full of pleading. With a wry smile, he said that his origin was no secret in the world, and although he didn't tear this fig leaf, he wouldn't be able to be talked about.

I immediately understood that no matter who occupies the top, the pressure will be borne by Yunkang, and Tao Yu'er will not be restrained in the slightest, but will be bullied by inches. Looking at Yunkang, who never said a word, I felt suffocated, and the existence of Tao Yu'er simply disgusted me.
