When Fang Linyuan approached, he saw Zhao Pu's appearance today.

He wore the light green spring shirt given by his eldest sister-in-law, which was made of light gauze that he had been rewarded in the New Year's Palace, and at first glance it seemed that there was a faint cloud of smoke around him.

Wearing it on Zhao Pu's body, there was no disobedience at all.

Today he is wearing a set of jade beads on his head, and two blooming hostas on his sideburns. When he turned his head sideways to look at Fang Linyuan, the transparent folded branch flower in his hair sparkled with ripples, and when he looked at it, it was actually the dragonfly wings of a jade carving.

The slightly trembling wingtips were chiseled with fine pearls, which were extremely dazzling, and Fang Linyuan couldn't help but want to reach out and touch them when he looked at it.

He led the horse and soon stopped in front of Zhao Pu's window, with a grateful smile on his face after being rescued.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw Zhao Pu stretch out his hand from the car, and a slender and white wrist like a crane's bone emerged from the soft sleeves of his green shirt, revealing a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets on his head.

He lowered his eyes, a pair of eyelashes like the wings of a dragonfly on his head, and with a slight sweep, it was impossible to see what emotion was in those eyes.

Fang Linyuan looked over and saw that the hand was gently brushing over his shoulder, dusting off two pink peonies.

Ah, he didn't even pay attention.

went to patrol with flowers all over his body, and his demeanor was indeed a little unreasonable, but fortunately, Zhao Pu was careful.

"Are you going to a feast?" Fang Linyuan actively followed and reached out to pat it a few times, dusted off all the flowers, and casually hung the saber back to his waist.

Zhao Pu hummed softly, paused, and asked him rhetorically, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Patrol, there are a lot of people today, and there are a lot of pedestrians traveling, afraid of chaos." Fang Linyuan replied.

I saw Zhao Pu nodding lightly, a pair of eyes fell on him, and his lips moved slightly.

But Fang Linyuan's eyes were attracted by his pair of swaying ears.

It's shiny, it's really good-looking.

Then, he heard Zhao Pu say lightly: "You should be careful yourself." ”

His words seemed to mean something, and his gaze swept away lightly. Fang Linyuan didn't quite understand, and when he turned to look at his eyes, he saw the incense cart not far away, with curtains hanging high, and the flowery Oiran lady sitting there was looking towards this side with great interest.

Fang Linyuan hurriedly turned around, as if he had been teaching electricity.

"You should be careful." He was right. "I'll stay away from the crowd for a moment."

He rolled too much in the yellow sand at the border pass, and he really didn't know how to deal with it, no wonder the old monk in the book had to tell his disciples that the woman passing by was a tiger.

It's just that the tiger is easy to kill, but these girls in Beijing teach him that he doesn't know what to do.

But seeing Zhao Pu's eyes swept lightly, he raised his hand and swept it between his hair, and plucked the shining white jade fly wing carving from there.

"Come here." I just listened to Zhao Pu say.

"What?" Fang Linyuan didn't react for a while.

I saw Zhao Pu glance at him lightly, opening the car curtain with one hand, and twisting the hairpin with three fingers with the other hand, stretching out to Fang Linyuan.

After that, he pointed to Fang Linyuange and hooked it, and lightly pulled him closer to the carriage.

It was an extremely natural, but ambiguous action with an unknown path, which frightened Fang Linyuan's whole body.

It's a dead life, and the vixen is going to eat people.

He was stiff and didn't know what to say, but he saw Zhao Xuan's eyebrows drooping, and his slender and cold hand picked up back and forth on the belt of Fang Linyuan's saber, and the hairpin flower was firmly pinned to his waist.

The flowing fire shaved the hooves, causing Fang Linyuan's figure to shake, and the white jade flower trembled slightly on Fang Linyuan's waist, looking so tight.

At a glance, you can see the brilliance, and at a glance it is a mark of a certain woman's embroidered hand and jade heart.

Fang Linyuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses, showing a little surprised joy on his face, and raised his eyes to look at Zhao Pu.

It's like giving him a Monkey King's trick to clear the water, how can Zhao Pu be so smart! He forgot that having this relationship with Zhao Pu could save him a lot of trouble!

He was about to say thank you, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves not far away.

Fang Linyuan turned his head to look and saw that it was Li Chengan.

He barely clutched the reins in one hand, and with a sachet of flowers in his arms, he walked towards them tremblingly.

Fang Linyuan raised his eyebrows, and saw that Li Chengan, who was playing acrobatics, also looked over, and was about to say something, but at a glance he saw the hairpin on his waist.

I saw that he was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect to see such a harmonious and ambiguous scene.

He opened his mouth, his expression a little silly, except for the horse under him still walking forward with him.

"What for?" Seeing his eyes wandering back and forth between him and Zhao Pu as if he was stunned, Fang Linyuan tilted his head and asked.

Li Cheng'an came back to his senses when he came to his senses, and his hands were full of splendid embroidery.

"Ahh I...... I saw Her Royal Highness the princess coming down and came to say hello to Her Highness. ”

As he spoke, he deliberately raised the flower he was holding in his hand, and smiled: "See Her Royal Highness the Princess, you see, this is all received by his subordinates just now." ”

——

Fang Linyuan raised his hand and pressed the corner of his forehead.

What is this kid doing, he rushed to explain to Zhao Xuan, and he looked like he wanted to cover up, could it be that he was afraid that Zhao Xuan would be jealous?

How is it possible, what is the relationship between the two of them? Zhao Pu will not be jealous if he is jealous.

Fang Linyuan only felt that Li Chengan was troublesome for a while, but fortunately, Zhao Pu didn't seem to want to deal with him, his eyes swept lightly, he hooked the corners of his lips perfunctorily and coldly, nodded lightly, and put down the curtain of the carved car.

In an instant, Li Chengan's sight was cut off.

The coachman in front urged the horse to go, and Li Chengan and Fang Linyuan watched the carriage go away.

"What are you still doing with that pile?" When the carriage was far away, Fang Linyuan glanced at Li Chengan lightly and asked.

Li Chengan woke up like a dream at this time, and hurriedly threw away the things in his arms.

It's just that his hand is faster than his brain, and when he let go of his hand, he remembered that Xiao Niangzi's peony flower was also in it, and hurriedly reached out to reach it, and he caught it.

"Forget." Li Chengan said. "Then I'll go and return Xiao Niangzi's hairpin first, people take it off their hair, and if it's not good, they will throw it away."

"Go ahead." Fang Linyuan said lightly.

Li Chengan turned his horse's head and went towards the incense cart.

Just took two steps, but saw him turn around again, looking at Fang Linyuan, looking like he wanted to say something.

"If you have something to say, say it." Fang Linyuan said impatiently.

"Can you teach me?" But I heard Li Chengan ask with sparkling eyes.

"What?" Fang Linyuan didn't understand.

Seeing Li Cheng'an smile embarrassedly, his chin gestured to the carved carriage that was riding away.

"Such an ice-carved fairy figure can handle it, that's a great ability." Li Chengan said, not forgetting to give a thumbs up to Fang Linyuan.

"Don't hide it, teach me."

——

Fang Linyuan shook his horse's ass with an expressionless face.

When Ma Deng ran in the direction of the incense car, Li Chengan was caught off guard, and he sighed twice, and the flower in his hand almost fell again.

He was able to stabilize his figure, and when he turned his head, he saw Fang Linyuan's ruthless face sitting in place.

If you don't teach, you won't teach, what's the murder.

Li Chengan muttered a few words in a low voice.

Over there, Fang Linyuan drove away Li Cheng'an, and then led people to inspect by himself.

Approaching noon, Qujiang Pond became more and more lively, and the banquet on the high platform on the west side also opened. There is a royal racecourse next to the high platform, because of the high terrain, it is the best place to see the whole Qujiang Pond, and the facilities of red lacquer and carved gold have been placed at this time, and a polo field for the nobles to play at the banquet has been placed.

Fang Linyuan also took advantage of the free time after lunch to go to the high platform to greet the queen.

The atmosphere at the banquet was enthusiastic. The queen sat on the high platform, and the sound of silk and bamboo around her was magnificent and melodious. Sitting next to her were the two princes, Zhao Jin and Zhao Jue, while the other princesses were sitting on their husband's seats, not far from her.

"Today's Qujiang Pond is unprecedented, but it is so safe and stable, thanks to Anping Houna." Seeing Fang Linyuan coming to salute, the queen smiled and asked him to calm down, and said softly. "It's hard work, Anpinghou sit down and have a cup of tea."

There was already a waiter on the side who brought a golden cup with wine, Fang Linyuan took it with both hands, and saluted the queen: "Niang Niang praises." Today's prosperity is all due to the peace and prosperity of Daxuan, and it all depends on the holy and bright Niangniang and His Majesty. The minister wishes the mother a thousand years of peace and happiness, and also wishes His Majesty a thousand generations. ”

The queen picked up the cup with a smile on her face, and drank the wine in the cup with Fang Linyuan.

The liquid enters the mouth, and there is a burst of sweetness. When the wine flowed past the tip of his tongue, Fang Linyuan was slightly stunned, and then he smelled the peach blossom fragrance that spread to his nose.

The banquet in the palace is often carved with flowers, but today it has been replaced with peach blossom wine?

Then, I saw the queen smile and said, "What, how about Anping Hou taste this wine?" ”

"Clear and sweet, like peach blossom stuffing?" Fang Linyuan replied. "Drinking peach blossoms in spring, the mother is really ingenious."

saw the queen smile lightly, and covered her lips with a handkerchief.

"Where's Hongu's idea?" She laughed. "This palace has always been lazy, and it is also Zhirou's clever thinking. It's also thanks to her for being so childish, seeing that spring is coming, she actually gathered the peach blossoms in the palace and brewed wine with her own hands, and Anpinghou is not too clumsy. ”

Fang Linyuan turned his head and saw that the sixth princess, who was also Princess Zhirou Zhao Pei, was sitting on the seat next to him.

She was newly married a few days ago, and today she is wearing a light red dress, which matches the full spring light, and she is smiling shyly at this time.

It's just that......

Her complexion was really not as outstanding as others, Fang Linyuan only swept his eyes, and his eyes were attracted by the person sitting next to him.

Although the banquet on the high platform was open-air, the seats were surrounded by gauze curtains, and it was easy to see the side of it. But under the veils flying, the plain light green figure on the side is dazzling as if the god of flowers has come into the world.

Fang Linyuan turned his head to look, and saw Zhao Pu, who was sitting there, holding a white jade tea cup, and when he looked at it, he just raised his eyes and made eye contact with him.

Fang Linyuan smiled as if greeting him, and didn't forget to praise him in his heart.

The eldest sister-in-law has always had a good eye for choosing clothes, and the green clothes are even more dazzling than the red shirts.

He turned his head and didn't speak for a while, but the people around him saw him and Princess Huining watching Qiubo. Zhao Pei, who was originally supple and drooping her eyes, also found out, and the smile on her face stiffened at this time, and the handkerchief on her lips was also put back on her knees.

But Fang Linyuan wasn't really flattering Zhao Pu after all.

After a simple glance, he turned his head and praised the queen: "His Royal Highness Six's ingenuity is really good wine." ”

The queen lowered her eyes and smiled.

As they were talking, a gong suddenly sounded on the polo field.

; Everyone looked at it.

I saw the waiter standing in the stands raising his hand and striking the gong, and the flags representing the number of goals scored by both sides fluttered fiercely.

"The prince of Qin Guo won seven chips first, win!"

Fang Linyuan turned his head to look, and saw that Wang Chang, the prince of the Qin Kingdom, was holding a club and cheering with a group of children from the family. On the other end, the leader is a young man, although he looks thinner, he looks good, and he looks sweaty at this time.

The last bit of smile on Zhao Pei's face was gone.

I saw that on the flags fluttering on the field, Wang Chang had seven on his side, but there were only three on the young man's side. For a while, even those behind him were depressed.

"Li Juma is from a civilian background, and it's not bad to be able to fight like this."

"Yes, but the prince of Qin is too ignorant, and he didn't even give Li the horse two shots."

"How could he let it? He's never been that grumpy......"

At this moment, the orchestra was lively on the field, and there was applause and cheers, and the discussion of the people around him became louder, even Fang Linyuan listened to it a few times.

Li Pony? Princess Shang and her surname are Li, only Zhao Pei's new husband, Ma Lizhe, who was new last year.

Fang Linyuan turned his head to look and saw Li Zhezheng nodding at Wang Chang with a slight smile. But Wang Chang didn't seem to see him, took three steps and two steps up to the high platform, and saluted in front of the queen.

"The minister won the polo, and he came to receive the prize!" He raised his voice and said with a gesture of no one in his eyes.

He is notoriously presumptuous in the palace, but His Majesty has always valued filial piety and courtesy to the Queen Mother, so he is very indulgent.

I saw that the queen also pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "Chang'er's ball skills have always been among the best in Beijing. Today's lottery head should also be in your pocket. ”

As she spoke, she raised her hand, and the waiter next to her held the color of this polo game with both hands and gave it to Wang Chang.

But seeing Wang Chang take it with both hands, he didn't forget to turn around, looked at Li Zhe and smiled arrogantly.

"Li Juma is no better than you in the poor countryside of Lingnan now, and things like bowing and throwing pots should also be studied hard."

This is a bit harsh.

Fang Linyuan had already heard that this colt was born in a poor family, and his family had two acres of thin land, but he offered him to the Son of Heaven Hall.

What polo is bowed, it has always been played by aristocratic families, and ordinary people can't even afford to raise horses. Li Zhe can score three strokes, which is not bad.

Wang Chang is really unrelenting.

Fang Linyuan, who had retreated to the side, glanced at him sideways and did not speak.

saw Wang Chang holding the colorful head in both hands, turned around, and happened to bump into Fang Linyuan head-on.

Wang Chang was stunned for a moment, and then after a large number of Fang Linyuan up and down, he slowly revealed a smile that was bound to be won, but with bad intentions.

"Is that you?" Wang Chang asked. "I've gone back to inquire, An Pinghou, is it?"

Fang Linyuan didn't bother to pay attention to him.

He lightly saluted Wang Chang, and then planned to turn his head to say goodbye to the queen. This person was rampage with his family, and he humiliated others at will, and Fang Linyuan didn't even look at him anymore.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Wang Chang blocked in front of him.

"It is said that Anpinghou is excellent at equestrianism, how about it, dare to have a race with me?"

——

How could Fang Linyuan play polo, but he only knew the rules, and he also saw it at the palace banquet when he was young.

He looked directly at Wang Chang without being humble or arrogant, and said lightly: "Tiger Prison Pass is also a poor and remote country, and I have never learned polo. ”

These words are the ridicule of Wang Chang just now.

The banquet was slightly quiet, and even Li Zhe next to him glanced at Fang Linyuan with some surprise, as if he didn't expect him to stand up for himself.

Everyone present didn't expect that someone would dare to talk to Wang Chang like this.

This overlord of the capital, who dares to provoke him in the slightest?

Fang Linyuan's expression was very calm.

I saw Wang Chang's eyes widen slightly, then looked at him and sneered, turned his head to the queen and said: "Queen Mother, Weichen, please fight with Anping Hou, only the two of us, the first to win the three chips wins." ”

This guy is really arrogant, so he went directly to ask the queen for advice.

I saw the queen's face embarrassed and said, "But Marquis Anping said that he won't bow down." ”

"An Pinghou can immediately pick out the Turkic thief, why can't he play?" saw Wang Chang turn his head and look at Fang Linyuan sneeringly.

"This ......," the queen looked at him in embarrassment.

Fang Linyuan glanced at Wang Chang.

How could this man be so confident, as if he was sure that he would win. It's just that his brain is not very useful, and he scolded himself in a sentence of agitation.

At this moment, a soft laugh came from the banquet.

It was Zhao Pu's voice.

Fang Linyuan turned his head and saw that Zhao Pu was still sitting upright. The teacup was held in his hand, but his eyes were lightly raised, looking at Wang Chang.

"I'm afraid it's not just the Turkic thieves who the general picked off with a gun, right?"

Everyone present was stunned, and looked at Zhao Pu quietly.

"What do you mean?" Wang Chang was still questioning him.

But seeing Zhao Pu hooking his lips sneeringly, although he was smiling on his face, his expression was so cold that Wang Chang was jealous, and his arrogance was shortened.

"A few days ago, I was in the middle of the city, and I was picked off by the general, isn't it you, the son of the world?" I saw Zhao Pu gently put down the teacup, and there was a soft sound, but Wang Chang's face immediately changed.

"The son of the world will not hold a grudge to this day, so let's make trouble in public."

He spoke harshly, but he hit the nail on the head, and Wang Chang's face immediately turned pale.

"You ......" he pointed at Zhao Pu, but he was telling the truth, and he couldn't even refute it.

Fang Linyuan immediately came back to his senses.

Zhao Pu is speaking for him!

He turned his head to look and saw that in a group of different eyes, Zhao Pu'an was sitting there, looking down on their statues of gods and ghosts, and the tea smoke in front of him was like incense in front of the ghost temple.

And at this moment, Zhao Jin's voice came from the high platform.

"What do you mean by the Fifth Emperor Sister?" He said. "It's just a game of polo, it's just a game, why should the royal sister be aggressive?"

saw that Zhao Pu's eyebrows and eyes just swept in the direction of the ministers.

Immediately, Li Fu, the secretary of the military department, stood up and saluted the queen: "The queen forgives her sins." The dog is not talented, he has been trained in the Sixteenth Garrison Division, and was attacked by the Turkic barbarians a few days ago, if it weren't for the Anping Marquis who blocked the blade with his bare hands, the dog's life may not be left today. ”

"An Pinghou has a wound on his hand?" The queen asked.

Li Zhe next to him also looked at his hand, paused for a moment, and smiled at Wang Chang slightly: "The prince is superb in equestrian skills, it is better to wait for An Pinghou to recover from his injury before sparring." I'm not good at riding, and I'm asking for advice from the world, so it's better to ......"

"Do you have a part in talking here?" saw Wang Chang's face darkened, and interrupted him directly.

This time, even the queen's expression is not very good-looking. Zhao Pei, who was on the side seat, lowered her head and covered her lips with a handkerchief, not knowing what she was thinking.

It's a big holiday, there is no need to make this unpleasant scene, and let Wang Chang play a prestige here.

Fang Linyuan stood up and bowed to the queen dignifiedly.

"It's just a hand." He said. "Since the prince of the world is indispensable, it is not easy for the minister to refuse."

As he spoke, he tilted his head slightly and met Zhao Pu's slightly frowning gaze.

He winked at Zhao Pu to reassure him.

Then, he turned his head, glanced at Wang Chang coldly and defiantly, straightened his back, and said loudly.

"Ministers should fight."

——

The Marquis of Anping wants to play polo against the prince of Qin!

One is the Marquis of Anping, who has been in the limelight in the capital recently, and the other is the famous gentleman in Beijing, the prince of Qin who has not lost a single polo record for several years.

When the news was heard from the high platform, it spread all over Qujiangchi, and the major customs immediately opened the handicap, and everyone bet on winning or losing.

It is rare for the people to have such a wonderful excitement to see.

The ground of the polo field is high, and you can see the situation on the field from the side of the Qujiang Pond. I saw that the red-clothed Marquis of Anping had already stepped on the dark red treasure horse, and the prince of Qin in an indigo robe also stepped on the horse led by the attendants.

Just after lunch, the sun was at its peak.

The people under the shade of the willows looked up one after another, and the Guan Po field was also crowded with people.

"Did you hear that?" Li Chengan and a few people waited outside the field, and waited for a long time to come to the guards who went in to find out the news.

"I see!" The guard said. "It's so lively! You don't know, many of the businessmen who came to Qujiangchi today have bets! There are also many famous people in Beijing, those who write poems and scripts, and several famous prostitutes! I look at the list of bets, and those who can recognize their names in the capital are all betting! ”

"Who wins?" Lou Shuo next to him asked.

“…… The prince of Qin Guo, who voted for it. The guard looked displeased. Now the odds have risen to 10 to 10, and there are not many bets on our generals. ”

"Are they all blind!" Li Chengan gritted his teeth and scolded.

One guard said, "No way...... Everyone knows that the prince of Qin has never lost since he went to the polo field. ”

Another guard hurriedly said: "But a few of us are all betting on the general!" The monthly case of a month is all bet in, just to give our general a strong momentum! ”

I saw Li Chengan glance inside hatefully, and untied his purse. When he was about to hand it to the guard, he didn't understand his hatred, and he took his wrench jade pendant, looted it, stuffed it all into his purse, and threw it into the guard's arms.

"Here, General Take!"

Several people next to him also untied their purses, and for a while, the guard's arms were full.

“…… Shall we save some money for dinner in the evening? Someone asked from the side.

It's just that his voice is weak, Li Chengan turned his head and glared, so he didn't dare to speak.

At that moment, there was an exclamation from inside.

"What's wrong?" A few of them hurriedly stretched out their heads to look.

There were also many people on the side who stretched out their heads and asked, "How much, how much is bet on it?" ”

"Ten thousand taels!"

There was a loud exclamation on the side.

Everyone around them blew up.

"What ten thousand taels?" Li Chengan asked. "The total amount of Wang Chang has reached 10,000?"

Lou Shuo was still scolding beside him: "Guan Yunchang has lost the war, they really treat him as an immortal!" ”

But at that moment, they heard a clear, loud voice.

"Boss Zhu, who doesn't know his name, bet on Anping Hou, 10,000 taels!" ，
