172 Stumbling

"Even the competition that day was proposed by the county lord first, and the competition was conducted in full view of everyone, and the courtiers did not dare to do it, nor could they cheat. Even later, even Your Majesty, Your Highnesses, and many adults saw with their own eyes that although the courtiers were lucky to win, they were also upright. Such a thing, the princess was not in Beijing at that time, she must not know, but she can know the reason by asking. ”

Although Pei Jinzhen was still kneeling on the ground, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

She can understand that the county lord of Anping and Peng Yunwei are pleading Xiao Lingxi to find her bad luck, and they don't know how to arrange her in front of Xiao Lingxi?

Although she didn't want to offend Xiao Lingxi in every way, she was not a person who was afraid of things, she poured dirty water on her, she couldn't break her teeth and swallow blood just because the other party was a princess, so she had to argue a few sentences.

Xiao Lingxi's face couldn't help but change, but he first turned his head and glared at the county lord of Anping and Peng Yunwei, and saw that the two of them lowered their eyes weakly and lowered their heads to avoid her gaze, so they understood everything.

After a slight pause, he looked at Pei Jinzhen again, "It seems that you are quite capable, above board, and can also beat Anping, but it has aroused the curiosity of this palace." Otherwise, if you also have a competition with Hongu, you will ...... Let's ride! ”

Xiao Lingxi's eyes flickered slightly, and he raised his hand to the opposite side, and pointed at Pei Jinzhen's mount.

Than riding? As soon as these words came out, Lu Yueling and Xu Zhenzhen's faces changed.

Pei Jinzhen also knew that Xiao Lingxi's riding skills were good, how could she, a half-ass, compare? It seems that this has made up its mind to find fault.

"Her Royal Highness the princess wants to compare, it's better to compare with the courtiers!" was hesitating, suddenly heard a somewhat angry voice, Pei Jinzhen looked up, but saw Yuan Qingluo, accompanied by a young man in military uniform who he had never seen before, galloping from the other side of the forest, his face was a little unsightly, and behind him, he was still followed by the red silk who left and returned again without knowing when.

Pei Jinzhen's eyes flashed, and she lowered her head again, this girl is a clever girl.

However, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing to bring my cousin in. Let alone...... His eyes glanced at the young man again, and he must have been the future cousin-in-law who was betrothed to his cousin.

Speaking of which, he is the source. Now, he is also here, but he is afraid that it will stimulate the county lord of Anping even more, right?

glanced at the face of the county lord of Anping, and it was really ugly. However, the strange thing is that Xiao Lingxi's face is a little strange, not angry, but puzzled.

After looking at Yuan Qingluo, he asked in surprise, "Second Miss Yuan?" Why does this palace compare with you? "In other words, why do you want to help this Pei girl get ahead?

Looking at her appearance, she really didn't pretend.

Yuan Qingluo's face was slightly angry, "Doesn't the princess know?" On that day, at the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, the county lord of Anping insisted on forcing my cousin to compete with her, but he came for me. In the final analysis, I offended the county lord of Anping, and it was because of me, even so, I couldn't leave my cousin alone, and let her suffer for me, even if I wanted to offend the princess, I had to carry it. ”

"She's your cousin?" Xiao Lingxi was stunned for a moment, the shocked expression on his face would not fake, and he glanced at the county lord of Anping again, at this moment, the county lord of Anping had completely lowered his eyes, and he didn't dare to meet Xiao Lingxi's eyes, and what else did Xiao Lingxi not understand? After a moment of pale face, even the smile that was torn apart was a little flustered, "So, it's also Yuan Ke's cousin?" ”

The panic on her face, and the sound of "Yuan Ke", attracted Pei Jinzhen a strange glance, however, Xiao Lingxi didn't notice her gaze at all, just stared at Yuan Qingluo tightly.

Yuan Qingluo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Naturally." As he spoke, he got off the horse and stepped forward to help Pei Jinzhen up from the ground, "This is my cousin, the only one." She supposedly did not offend the princess, and asked the princess to forgive her a lot. ”

Xiao Lingxi laughed for a moment, "Look at what you said, this palace is just a joke with Miss Pei, why should Miss Yuan take it seriously?" In this paddock, we can only walk around the outfield, which is also boring, it is better to be together, maybe it can be more fun. ”

Pei Jinzhen looked at Xiao Lingxi's bright smile, she was really full of wonder, in her previous life and this life, it was the first time she saw Xiao Lingxi facing her, such an eager expression really made her ...... I was flattered, but I was not energetic, and I had goosebumps.

Yuan Qingluo didn't think about it, so he refused, "The courtiers still have some things, so I won't bother Her Royal Highness Princess Yaxing." ”

As he spoke, he nodded to Xiao Lingxi, turned his head and pulled Pei Jinzhen to get on their horses, and as soon as they pulled the reins, several people walked away in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Lingxi's face was not good, and he turned to glaring angrily at the county lord of Anping and Peng Yunwei, "You two, are you deliberately playing this palace as a fool?" I actually hid so much, and I just asked the palace to stand up for you, but I didn't even tell the palace that the Pei family girl was the granddaughter of the British government? ”

"Lingxi, don't be impatient, listen to me." After all, the county lord of Anping and Xiao Lingxi are cousins, and the daughter of the Xiao family of the Daliang royal family is delicate, and their cousins are also getting along well, so it can be said that Xiao Lingxi came to give her a head.

She naturally also knew some of Xiao Lingxi's unknown thoughts.

Therefore, except for the anger and resentment that Xiao Lingxi might have at first, she panicked for a moment, but now, she has completely calmed down.

"Lingxi, you really don't want to be angry. Speaking of which, this incident is not just for helping me out, but also for your own good. Do you know why you don't know that this Pei Jinzhen is the granddaughter of the British government? ”

Xiao Lingxi frowned and was silent, questioning silently with his eyes.

That's because, since her mother was gone, the British government had almost cut off contact with their family. Then do you know when this Pei Jinzhen started to walk around with the British government again? ”

"It only started in the middle of last year. This Yuan Shizi is the only seedling of the British government, and now, he has lost his wife for more than two years, and speaking of which, it is time to remarry. At this time, the girl surnamed Pei sharpened her head and went to the British Mansion, what else could she be for? ”

"Even if it's a serious cousin, it's inevitable that there is no side thought. Some people are born with light bones, but they are scheming and very deep, who knows if she is using the name of this cousin, what other thoughts she has? ”

"Spirit...... Don't be stupid, some things, some people, you have to guard against them. ”

The subject of Anping County was serious, and seeing that Xiao Lingxi's face was completely condensed, he couldn't help but quietly glance at Peng Yunwei and exchanged a successful look.

Pei Jinzhen and the others returned to the camp in silence all the way, Yuan Qingluo took the lead in stopping the horse, still unable to hide his worry, and said to Pei Jinji, "Be clever in the future, and hide away when you see Anping." Princess Changle is okay, although she is a little arrogant and willful, but she is not bad-hearted, this time I am afraid that Anping and they will pinch it, and make it clear, I should not embarrass you again in the future. ”
