After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 41 Polo
Liu Yaru looked at the people on the field and smiled, "Today's polo is not as exciting as before."

Jin Wenyao nodded in agreement, "Last year's game was so exciting that my brother couldn't even lift his hands the next day."

Hua Yuan also came back, "That's right, I'm sleepy after watching this."

As she said that, she looked at Ji Yunzhang and said, "Ji Saner, why don't you play? Even though you're annoying, at least your skills are acceptable."

Rong Peilan looked at him, eyebrows slightly raised, unable to tell at all that he could actually play polo.

The Crown Princess actually took over Hua Yuan's conversation and said, "Girl, have you forgotten the intention of Lady Wenyuan to hold the polo match? If Prince Ji plays, how will those young masters who have not yet married perform?"

Hua Yuan curled his lips and said, "That's right, I can beat any of their embroidered pillows."

As they were talking, they looked at the field again and saw that the red team had won a great victory and captured eighteen flags.

A young man with a blue ribbon tied around his arm got off his horse and walked towards them angrily.

The young man tore off the blue silk on his forehead and threw it on the ground, "It's not fair, Liu Qiwei is cheating!"

The Crown Princess's expression remained unchanged, and her voice was calm, "You are inferior to others in skills, so just admit defeat."

Liu Yaru signaled the maid behind her to hand the handkerchief to the boy, "Yongnan, wipe your sweat first."

Liu Yongnan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Big sister, the rules clearly state that the horses are provided by the stadium, but Liu Qiwei rides his own horse. How can this not be unfair? Why should I admit defeat!"

As he said that, he stepped forward and pulled Ji Yunzhang up, "Third brother Ji, go and help me get my revenge!"

The Crown Princess's expression changed. "Nonsense! Look at how disrespectful you are. If Prince Ji wins the fight, will he save your face? Others will only say that the Liu family is a coward!"

Liu Yongnan's eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

He wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the Crown Princess's look. In the end, he could only sit down angrily.

Ji Yunzhang looked at the field and suddenly smiled, "Don't worry, someone will take care of him later."

Liu Yongnan followed his gaze towards the horse racing field and saw the second son of the Jin family, Jin Shaojie, coming on the field.

His eyes lit up immediately. Although Second Brother Jin had only returned to Beijing last year and had never played polo in Beijing, he had already seen Second Brother Jin's fists and feet!

Jin Wenyao couldn't sit still anymore, so she ran to the edge of the paddock and shouted at the top of her voice, "Come on, second brother!"

Ji Yunzhang glanced at the corner of the paddock, then leaned over and whispered to Rong Peilan, "Madam, I will go to the guest room."

Rong Peilan nodded without turning her head.

The action was intense on the field and she didn't want to miss a moment.

There were originally some women chatting and drinking tea outside the field, but now they gradually quieted down, attracting all the attention on the field.

"The blue team gets another flag!"

After Jin Shaojie came on the court, he scored two flags in a row.

On the field, four young men were sweating profusely.

The two sides were anxious and refused to give in to each other.

Liu Yongnan couldn't sit still anymore, and just like Jin Wenyao, he ran to the sidelines to cheer and shout.

"Second Brother Jin, don't let them get even one flag!"

Liu Yaru held her belly and looked at the two young people and found them funny. "These two kids..."

Rong Peilan was also very interested in the game. She didn't know there was such fun polo in Yanjing. It made her heart warm.

A maid in green came up to her side and bowed, "Madam Ji, my daughter would like to invite you to have a cup of tea."

Rong Peilan was stunned. Who wanted to invite her for tea?

She glanced at the unfamiliar face of the maid, and then looked in the direction of her hand. It was a girl she had never seen before, and she didn't recognize the girls around her either.

She blinked and was about to refuse, but the Crown Princess, who had been staring at the ball, spoke up, "What good tea does Miss Ruan have that is worth Madam Ji not drinking my tea and drinking hers instead?"

As she spoke, she took a sip from the tea bowl in front of her, and the faint fragrance of tea drifted over. Looking over, the Crown Princess was still in the same position, and she never raised her eyes to look at them.

The lady-in-waiting beside the Crown Princess brought a cup of brewed tea to Rong Peilan.

"Ma'am, please."

Even without opening the lid, you can smell the rich tea aroma.

Rong Peilan gently opened the tea lid, the tea soup was clear in color and the tea aroma was fragrant.

This is Gongcha.

Rong Peilan obediently took the teacup and smelled it, then took a sip before looking up at the maid in green.

"Please report to your young lady that I love the tea made by the Crown Princess so much that I cannot let it go. I am afraid that I have failed her kindness. Please apologize to her on my behalf."

The maid looked back at her own girl, and then at Rong Peilan.

After weighing the two options, she bit her lower lip and went back to report.

The Ruan family was some distance away from here, so she couldn't see the girl's expression clearly, but she could vaguely feel that the girl seemed to have an inexplicable hostility towards her.

The Crown Princess smiled at her gently, "Don't worry, Madam Ji. With me here, no one can disturb you."

She continued to explain, "The Ruan family is the Empress Dowager's maiden family, and also the maiden family of the late Empress Dowager. It is inevitable that the girls of the Ruan family are arrogant."

Rong Peilan looked at the Crown Princess, and the tassels on the crown on her head swayed gently with her movements.

She smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess Consort."

Rong Peilan's expression remained unchanged, but she was already full of doubts in her heart. She always felt that Ji Yunzhang's last injury might have been related to the prince.

There were inexplicable extra checkpoints on the road that day, and it seemed that Mr. Mu was from Prince Qing's Mansion.

Hua Yuangui is the only daughter of Prince Qing, and is very close to Jin Wenyao and Liu Yaru.

Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince was under house arrest, but the Crown Princess, who was supposed to keep a low profile, inexplicably took care of her.

Things that seem unrelated are actually intricately linked.

Rong Peilan frowned slightly, looking at the steam rising from the teacup in her hand. There was also something unusual that day, the fire in the house.

It's all too much of a coincidence.

Suddenly, there was a burst of discussion from the edge of the paddock.

Looking over, for some reason, the competition in the arena had stopped.

A girl in red entered the arena and jumped onto the horse.

This polo match was between four young men, two against two. It was stopped halfway through and a new girl took over.

The girl said loudly, "What's the point of watching men compete? Let's just fight!"

The people at the edge of the paddock laughed and said, "Miss Ruan Er, it's not honorable for you to win, and it's even more dishonorable for you to lose. Who dares to compete with you?"

Ruan Xianglian smiled and said, "That's easy. Just replace the blue team with a woman."

Rong Peilan squinted her eyes and looked for a while before she realized that this girl was the one who had just invited her to have tea.

If she didn't invite me to tea, then she might be thinking...

Just as Rong Peilan had a bad premonition, she saw the pole in the girl's hand pointing at her.

I saw the corners of her lips raised. She was a little further away, but she still heard the voice.

"I heard that Madam Ji is both talented and beautiful, but from what I've seen of her appearance and complexion, I wonder if she can handle horsemanship."

"Xiang Lian dares to invite Madam Ji to compete with him."
