Chapter 8: The Gathering I
Princess An Ning said that she would invite Liang Qian to her house to play another day, and the next day she sent someone with great efficiency to send an invitation to invite Liang Qian to have afternoon tea in the annex on the outskirts of Beijing.
Yesterday's incident did affect Liang Qian's mood, Li Yu had the intention to let Liang Qian go out for a walk, so he took the opportunity to let Princess Li coax Liang Qian to go to the Anning Mansion to attend the party.
So on the morning of the third day of Liang Qian's return to Kyoto, Li Yu returned to the court to report on his work, and Princess Li took Liang Qian to attend a party in Anning's princess garden.
On the carriage to the party, Princess Li also briefly introduced Princess An Ning to Liang Qian.
Princess An Ning is the second daughter of the current emperor Emperor Sui, and she is from the belly of Chen Guifei, the only two noble concubines today. Chen Guifei's family and Princess Li's mother's family are all military generals, and the two were close friends when they were young.
Xu is because her mother is from a family of military generals, and Princess An Ning has not been a character since she was a child. She doesn't like the complicated palace with rules, and she does a lot of things in the palace, such as climbing trees and digging birds' eggs, and going to the lake to fish.
Later, there was a lot of trouble, and Concubine Chen Guifei also felt sorry for her daughter being bound in the palace and uncomfortable, so she specially asked the emperor for a favor to let Princess An Ning go out of the palace to build a mansion by herself.
"Why are you still nervous, little white rabbit?" Princess Li looked at Liang Qian, who was tugging at the hem of her clothes, and said with a smile: "Although An Ning is a princess, according to the relationship between me and her mother, she still has to call me aunt, can I still let you be bullied?" ”
Liang Qian pursed his lips a little embarrassed, looked up at Princess Li, and was a little aggrieved: "Princess Li is good to me, I know, I'm just afraid that they don't like me......"
"Silly girl!" Princess Li tapped Liang Qian's forehead with her finger and smiled without saying a word.
During this time, Liang Qian had been living in the Li Wangfu and didn't know anything about things in Kyoto. As everyone knows, the last time Li Yu and Yi Pingting faced off for her, it had been spread all over Kyoto, which indirectly showed that Liang Qian was the person who was protected by Li Wangfu.
According to the influence of the Li Wangfu in Kyoto, Princess Li did not believe that those people who did not have long eyes would come to touch Liang Qian's mold at this time. What's more, her son was not at ease and let him take Liang Qian to this party, Princess Li didn't believe that anyone would be so bold to make Liang Qian uncomfortable in front of her.
The two of them said some considerate words in the carriage again, and it didn't take long to arrive at Princess Anning's villa, and they were warmly and politely invited in by the person who Princess Anning had arranged to greet them in advance.
Princess An Ning likes to play, and the annex is also built with ingenuity. Horse running, ice hockey, shuttlecock kicking, archery...... There are all kinds of places to play, and Liang Qian is dazzled by it, and he quickly forgets his previous anxiety.
"What do you want to play next? Sister An Ning knows everything, do you want to play on horseback? I'll take you! An Ning rode a black horse and asked Liang Qian in a heroic manner.
Liang Qian was originally a well-behaved and likable character, and after playing with An Ning in the morning, he easily got An Ning's favor. If it weren't for the rules, An Ning would want to directly let Liang Qian be his sister.
Who wouldn't like a little white rabbit who is soft and well-behaved, deliberately bullied with red eyes and a desire to protect?
"That's right! That's right! Come and play! ”
"It's really fun to play on horseback!"
"I'll love it!"
The people around Princess An Ning also chimed in.
As early as the day before yesterday, after the news that Li Yu was protecting Liang Qian and Yi Pingting spread throughout Kyoto, many people began to secretly think about what the person who could be protected by the unparalleled Li Shizi behind him was like.
At today's party, many ladies in Kyoto are more or less interested in Liang Qian's purpose, but Liang Qian's personality is indeed too soft and too clean, which makes many people love and care.
If everyone was in awe of Liang Qian because of Li Yu and Li Wangfu before they met, then after meeting now, everyone loves Liang Qian because they have a lot of good feelings in their hearts. For those who do not offend their own interests and have a good feeling in their hearts, the people who live in Kyoto will not be stingy with their kindness.
Therefore, Liang Qian played well in Princess Anning's villa today, at least he has temporarily forgotten the friction with Yi Pingting and Yi Yingying last time.
Liang Qian looked at An Ning who was riding a horse in front of him, and his eyes showed a trace of envy, and finally shook his head and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't know how to ride a horse, so I won't go!" ”
"What a pity!" Princess An Ning pursed her lips, a little lost. I knew that I would have chosen a shallow project that I could play with.
It's too late to regret it now, the playing venues have been completely arranged, and An Ning is not easy to sweep the interest of other guests, so he can only let Liang Qian go to the stage to sit and rest with Princess Li, and go down to play by himself.
"Want to play with them?" Princess Li looked at Liang Qian, who turned back three times in one step, and quipped.
"Hmm!" Liang Qian said with some embarrassment: "When I was in Qingzhou before, my brother would occasionally take me to ride a horse, but I always couldn't learn. Later, once I fell off my horse and was seriously injured, and my master and wife never let my brother take me on horseback again! Now look at Princess Anning...... I'm quite envious. ”
Princess Li smiled in her eyes, and pretended to be inadvertent: "Speaking of which, my son seems to be quite good at riding horses, if you want to learn, let him teach you another day!" ”
"Won't that disturb His Highness the Prince a little?" Liang Qian said with some uncertainty.
"How so?" It's too late for that kid to be happy!
Princess Li pretended to be surprised and put down the melon seeds in her hand, and successfully portrayed her son, who is busy every day, as an idle person: "He has to go to the morning court every day, and after he comes back in the afternoon, he will have nothing to do with some affairs!" You go to him and tell him to ask him to ride a horse, and he's so idle anyway, he'll be happy to say yes! ”
"Oh?" Liang Qian nodded, always feeling that something was wrong in his heart. But Princess Li is the biological mother of His Royal Highness the Prince, so she shouldn't lie to herself.
Seeing that Liang Qian seemed to be thinking about learning to ride a horse, Princess Li drank a cup of tea and felt comfortable all over.
Sure enough! To help my son deal with my daughter-in-law, let me do it myself!
"Ahh Be careful! ”
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation on the court. Liang Qian and Princess Li turned their heads to look over, and saw a young lady of the family suddenly lose control and crash into the railing on the side of the court.
The young lady of the family was also frightened when she thought about it, and she couldn't even grasp the reins in her hurry.
The people in the stadium also reacted very quickly, and hurriedly rushed up to help the young lady grab the reins. But how can a man's speed outrun a horse in a runaway? I could only watch as the horses galloped with the young lady all the way to the railing at the edge of the course.
