Chapter Ninety-Six: I Picked It Up

Qi nodded and continued: "By the way, remember to be quiet, don't let anyone find out, otherwise what will happen if this girl dies." ”

"Yes!" When Sheng Zhiyao returned to the Hou Mansion, everyone was chatting without sleeping, and when they saw her, everyone immediately surrounded her: "Zhiyao, you are finally back!" ”

"What's wrong? Is something going on at home? Sheng Zhiyao asked worriedly when she saw everyone's expressions.

"No, it's okay at home, it's something in the palace." Qi Xinyue explained: "The queen held a polo club and invited all the nobles in the capital, and I heard that this polo club has other purposes, saying that it is to choose a horse for the princess. ”

"Princess? Choosing a colt? But we don't have a princess in the Zhou Dynasty. Hearing Sheng Zhiyao's words, they all looked at her, and she was a little uncomfortable to be looked at by so many people: "Not only do we have no princesses in our Shang Zhou Dynasty, but even there are only three princes, and these three people have already married and have children, aren't they?" ”

"But we have a grandson! And more than one. Sheng Hanmo reminded.

Sheng Zhiyao nodded approvingly: "That is, then which country's princess wants to choose the horse?" ”

"The princess of Xichu!"

"Is it Xi Chu who is fighting with our Shang Zhou Dynasty?"

"Yes, how could she come to our Shang Zhou Dynasty to pick up the horses? Are all the men in Xichu dead? ”

"Hugh is talking nonsense, you little girl, why are you so rude." Old Marquis Sheng looked at Sheng Zhiyao unhappily.

Sheng Zhiyao stuck out his tongue and hurriedly pulled a cushion: "The third brother always said this, I learned it from him." ”

"When have I ever said something like this? You framed me. Sheng Hangu sat on the side, and disaster fell from the sky.

"Sheng Hangu, you come over for me." As soon as Sheng Zhengye heard his daughter's words, he firmly believed that his daughter would never be so rude, and it must be this rabbit cub who brought it bad.

"Dad, I really didn't, my sister wronged me." Sheng Hangu looked at Sheng Zhiyao with a resentful look, she was also afraid that her father would beat the third brother and hurriedly ran over.

"Father, Zhiyao knows that he is wrong, he will be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, don't be angry, and don't punish the third brother." Sheng Zhiyao tugged at Sheng Zhengye's sleeve and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Qi Xinyue saw that her daughter was about to cry, so she quickly pinched Sheng Zhengye behind her back, Sheng Zhengye looked at his wife in pain, so she had to squat down and pick up Sheng Zhiyao and pat: "Okay, just know that it's wrong, my father won't punish you, remember to pay attention in the future." ”

"Yes, father." Sheng Zhiyao pretended to wipe her tears with her cuffs, and made a grimace at Sheng Hangu by the way.

Sheng Hangu sighed when he saw her appearance, and silently praised her.

Sheng Hanmo looked at the actions between his younger brothers and sisters, the corners of his mouth outlined a faint smile, I don't know why, he felt that the current atmosphere was very good, and it was also very warm: "Okay, it's not because Xichu has no candidates for horses, but because Xichu has always been at a disadvantage in the border war, and their treasury has been emptied, so the emperor of Xichu wants to use his relatives to negotiate peace." ”

"But they also started the war first!" Sheng Zhiyao muttered dissatisfiedly, if it weren't for the fact that they wanted to rob the city on the border, the Shang Zhou Dynasty would not have sent troops, nor would they fight, and the people on the border would not have been displaced, but now they have come to sue for peace, why would they have gone earlier.

Sheng Hanmo shook his head: "So the importance of this harmony to Xichu is self-evident. ”

"In that case, let's make them reconcile, anyway, this matter is none of our business." Sheng Zhiyao pursed her lips, looking indifferent.

Sheng Hanmo shook his head, it seems that Zhiyuan doesn't really care about the matter of harmony, it's just that she is still a child, and she doesn't understand the stakes, otherwise she would definitely not agree so easily as now.

Qi Xinyue also felt reasonable after listening to Sheng Zhiyao's words: "I think what Zhiyao said is right, it has nothing to do with our family, and it is said that this princess of Western Chu has already chosen a candidate for the concubine, but I don't know which emperor and grandson it is." ”

Everyone fell silent when they heard Qi Xinyue's words.

"Are we all going to go tomorrow?"

"Yes, the queen mother has sent someone to deliver a message saying that all three of us are going to participate, in the horse farm on the outskirts of Beijing."

"Okay." Sheng Zhiyao replied helplessly.

"Just go play, don't worry." Sheng Hanmo patted Sheng Zhiyao's shoulder and comforted him.

"Yes, I'll have fun with my brothers tomorrow." Old Marquis Sheng also spoke.

"Hmm!" Sheng Zhiyao agreed with a smile.

In the early morning of the next day, in front of the gate of the Sheng Hou Mansion, a carriage stopped at the door, and the coachman got out of the car and saluted Sheng Zhiyao respectfully: "The slave was ordered by the emperor to come to pick up the county lord and the two young masters to go to the horse farm together. ”

"Grandpa Huang asked you to come? Did other families send someone to pick it up? ”

"Back to the county lord, there is only one family in our Hou Mansion."

"Hehe, in that case, let's go." After saying that, he took the lead in getting into the carriage.

A group of people got into the carriage and drove out of the Hou Mansion towards the outskirts of Beijing.

Along the way, everyone's topic still revolved around that incident, and it seemed that this prince from Xichu had mainly chosen a horse, and the war on the border would be able to stop.

"County Lord, in front of us is the place where we are going to participate in the polo match, it is a grassland, and now some people have gathered over there." The groom pointed ahead and said to the back.

"Okay." Sheng Zhiyao looked at the grass in front of her, such a good weather, it must be very comfortable to play in the grass, she thought of this, the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile, and she thought that she must enjoy it.

The carriage slowly approached the grassland, there were many people around, some were riding horses, some were walking around the horse farm, Sheng Zhiyao soon saw some familiar faces, including Feng Yuanqing.

"Lord Yongchen of Shenghou Mansion has arrived." As soon as the carriage arrived, a little eunuch shouted at the top of his voice.

Hearing this sound, people all looked at the carriage here, the curtain was lifted, and Sheng Hanmo walked out of it.

"Wow!"

"This guy is really handsome!"

"Yes, this appearance is definitely not less than those imperial grandchildren!"

"Isn't this Sheng Hanmo, the eldest grandson of the Shenghou Mansion? Didn't he always stop attending such meetings? ”

The moment everyone saw Sheng Hanmo, there was a lot of discussion, and some nobles even marveled at Sheng Hanmo's appearance.

Sheng Hanmo got out of the carriage and turned around and stretched out his hand, Sheng Zhiyao walked out slowly, Sheng Hanmo picked her up, and Sheng Hangu behind jumped down directly.

"Big brother, I can get off by myself, you don't have to hug me!" Sheng Zhiyao pushed Sheng Hanmo's hands, her face turned red, this is in front of outsiders!

"Okay, then be careful." Sheng Hanmo rubbed her head and put her on the ground.

"Got it, big brother!"

Everyone's attention quickly shifted to Sheng Zhiyao, and some people looked at Sheng Zhiyao and then at Sheng Hanmo, with a strange light flashing in their eyes.

"Oops! This turned out to be the Lord of Yongchen! ”

"Yes, although her appearance is not as good as her eldest brother, she is better than her fair skin and delicate facial features!"

Sheng Zhiyao was not happy when she heard this, glared at those nymphomaniac noblewomen, and then said to Sheng Hanmo: "Brother, look at these people!" ”

"Okay, I got it!"

"Why am I not as good-looking as my eldest brother, I haven't grown yet!" Sheng Zhiyao pouted and coquettishly.

Sheng Hanmo looked at his sister and said: "Yes, Zhiyao must be the most beautiful girl when she grows up, no one can compare to you!" ”

"Hmph, you know to coax me, I can tell you, when I grow up, you must not be better looking than me." Sheng Zhiyao pouted and said.

Sheng Hanmo couldn't help but laugh when he looked at her appearance, stretched out his hand and rubbed Sheng Zhiyao's head again, and said, "Yes, the eldest brother will definitely not look better than you." ”

"Humph! Co-authored you two are brother and sister, I picked it up? Sheng Hangu stood beside him and said sourly.
