Chapter 406 Holding a grudge
Gong Qianyue held Qin Huiyin's hand and said worriedly, "I was really scared just now."
Zhu Hongxiu echoed from the side: "Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Miss Zhang fell off her horse and I heard she injured her waist. She has been taken to see the imperial physician."
Qin Huiyin smiled and said, "It's called 'surviving a great disaster will bring good fortune in the future. Look, I just won first place. Are you sisters envious?"
Seeing that she was fine, the smiles on their faces deepened.
Before, seeing her good looks and business acumen, I thought she was a scheming person. But now it seems that she comes from a humble family after all, and I can't imagine anything deeper.
The one who was truly worried was Chang Xiaohuan. She had posted the message, and if anything happened to the person, she would have no way of explaining it to the Tang family.
Several people went to the observation deck.
The center of attention on the viewing platform naturally belonged to Princess Yuanying and Princess Minghua. Cui Lingyao and other noble ladies from prominent families surrounded them, as if a transparent wall surrounded them, isolating everyone else from them. Even a minister's daughter like Zhu Hongxiu could only be ranked second, with those she spoke with either having a lower official rank or someone of similar status.
Chang Xiaohuan usually sat with Zhu Hongxiu and the others, but today she stayed to accompany Qin Huiyin. Qin Huiyin, claiming to be frightened, found a corner to sit in. The other ladies sensed something was amiss and none of them approached her. Only Chang Xiaohuan and Gong Qianshu sat next to Qin Huiyin; the others were separated by many empty seats, seemingly isolating them from the outside.
"My sister invited me to come horseback riding. I thought there would be only a few sisters I knew, but I didn't expect it to be such a big scene. If I had known it would involve such a large group of people, I would have practiced my riding skills and wouldn't have almost embarrassed myself." Qin Huiyin lowered her voice and said jokingly.
"I had previously made plans with Sister Gong and Sister Zhu to go boating on the lake. When I mentioned this banquet at the horse ranch, I remembered that you, my younger sister, hadn't met me yet, so I wanted to invite you over for a get-together. Sister Gong and Sister Zhu both brought their sisters, so it wouldn't be convenient to bring another. I happened to have a spot available, and I thought I'd have a good chat with you, and I really like your personality, so I invited you over for a visit. I didn't mention anyone else at the horse ranch because only royal relatives can bring people in. I assumed you already knew about this. Blame me for being inconsiderate. I should have sent someone to let you know. You're new to the capital, so naturally you don't know the ins and outs of this."
"I was just joking with my sister, why did you take it seriously? Stop it, people will think I bullied you, then I will be wronged!" Qin Huiyin covered her mouth and laughed.
"You bad girl." Chang Xiaohuan pinched her cheeks.
Gong Qianshu said softly, "Look at the field. Commander Song is really amazing."
Everyone turned around and looked at the Cuju field.
Every time Song Ruize hit the ball to the prince, the prince swung the club and made eight out of ten shots. They really had a perfect understanding of each other.
Many of the noble ladies have been asking about Song Ruize, but when they heard that he came from a grassroots background and had no family protection, they lost interest.
When no one was paying attention, the ball that was supposed to be kicked to the prince was suddenly kicked towards the observation deck.
The ball flew towards the observation deck.
"Ahhhh..." the lady screamed.
Qin Huiyin watched the ball hit Princess Yuanying.
The noble lady next to her was terrified and quickly bent down to avoid the attack. However, Princess Yuanying was talking to Princess Minghua and didn't notice anything was wrong at first. By the time she saw it, it was too late.
The ball hit her head.
With a bang, the pearl hairpin on her head fell off and her hair spread out.
Qin Huiyin was stunned and looked back at the Cuju field. She saw Song Ruize looking at Princess Yuanying with a cold gaze, as if he was looking at a dead person.
Qin Huiyin shuddered.
Where is her warm and sunny little brother?
Could it be that the villain's skills have awakened?
No, no, no, although her brother is not good at speaking, he is considerate and thoughtful, and she has long influenced him to become a sunny and cheerful boy.
"Can't you just hold back?" Tang Yichen warned Song Ruize in a low voice as he rode past her. "After you leave this stable, you can do whatever you want. Why would you provoke her in this situation?"
"Endure? Endure and watch her bully Yinyin? If you can endure it, I have already endured it by not rushing over and chopping her just now." Song Ruize sneered.
"I think you are scheming. You just want Yinyin to know that you are the one who cares about her the most. For her, you don't hesitate to offend Princess Yuanying openly."
"Is Princess Yuanying someone we can't afford to offend?"
When this situation suddenly occurred, the Crown Prince and the young masters of the aristocratic families immediately stopped their current fun, dismounted and went to check on Princess Yuanying's situation.
"Yuanying, how is it?" asked the prince.
"Ahhh..." Princess Yuanying was furious. "Who was it just now? Who kicked me? Brother Crown Prince, you have to make the decision for me."
The prince looked at Song Ruize in embarrassment.
Song Ruize was about to step out and speak when he was interrupted by King Wei.
The King of Wei rubbed his head and said apologetically, "Sister Yuanying, I'm so sorry. It was my fault for not being able to see clearly and accidentally kicking her too hard. You really have to blame my brother, the Crown Prince. If he hadn't crushed me so much today, I wouldn't have been so anxious. If I hadn't been anxious, I wouldn't have hurt you, right? Brother Crown Prince, please give Sister Yuanying some good things to calm her down."
Everyone sees through it but doesn't say anything.
Princess Yuanying didn't see what happened just now, but others did.
Song Ruize kicked Princess Yuanying, and King Wei took the blame. If anyone dared to reveal the truth at this time, they would offend several people who should not be offended at once.
"Yuanying, go down and wash up and refresh your makeup." After the prince said this, he called the servants next to him and asked them to take Princess Yuanying away.
Qin Huiyin glanced at Song Ruize worriedly.
After learning that it was the King of Wei who kicked the ball, Princess Yuanying dared not say anything and could only sulk.
The prince looked back at Song Ruize and said, "Continue."
Qin Huiyin looked in the direction Song Ruize left and pursed her lips.
"Don't worry." Tang Yichen said, "Sit here and wait for me."
The Cuju match ended with the prince's victory. Now that the match was over, the prince was leaving with the other young men from the noble families. Tang Yichen said goodbye to the prince, saying he wanted to take his sister home, and the prince agreed.
Tang Yichen did not ride a horse, but accompanied Qin Huiyin in a carriage.
In the carriage, Qin Huiyin looked outside from time to time.
"Don't look at him. He can't leave. The prince won't let him go for the time being." Tang Yichen said lightly.
"Brother..." Qin Huiyin sat down beside Tang Yichen and patted his shoulder. "Good brother, do you think the prince will embarrass Brother Ruize?"
"So what if it's difficult? Do you dare to go back and beg for mercy?" Tang Yichen snorted coldly, "He dared to act impulsively, so he must bear the consequences."
