The female supporting role is really here to mess things up
Chapter 18 Zhao Lexuan Wants to Stick to Me
Zhao Lexuan waited until Xue Ji was carried away before she turned her attention back to the master and servant in front of her.
Today was a family event, and the servants reported everything that happened during the banquet to her. She naturally knew that the woman in the veil in front of her was Lu Qingxi, who was being talked about by everyone at the door and had a bad reputation.
But she had just seen the woman in front of her eager to save him. Besides, Xue Ji was tied in a sack and his face could not be seen. She certainly did not help him because of Xue Ji's identity.
The woman was also covered in blood because of saving people, but she didn't seem to care. This made me think that the other party was not what the rumors said.
Her attitude towards the woman was also a little more relaxed than at the beginning. "Your clothes are dirty. It's not appropriate to wear them like this. Come with me. And tell me what you just saw."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards her tent, and the maid behind her also made a gesture to invite the two of them in.
Lu Qingxi looked down at her dress and found that she looked really embarrassed. So she and Xiaohuan walked behind Princess Lening and followed a group of people forward.
Zhao Lexuan brought Lu Qingxi to her residence and took out a blue dress from her unworn clothes and asked her to change into it.
Xiaohuan took the dress chosen by the princess and took her daughter behind the screen. She changed Lu Qingxi into the dress prepared by Princess Lening. The blue of the dress was like the sky in the early morning of summer, fresh and deep. The hem of the skirt swayed gently with her steps, as if bringing up a breeze. The skirt was embroidered with delicate patterns, which was both elegant and lively, perfectly setting off Lu Qingxi's temperament.
Seeing that the woman in front of her was still wearing a veil, Zhao Lexuan became curious. "Are you injured on your face? Why are you covering your face? If you need help, I can arrange for a doctor to come and treat you."
Hearing Princess Lening's words, Lu Qingxi was stunned. She felt that although this little princess was a little overbearing, she had a good heart. She didn't want to hide it from her.
The next moment, she took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face. Her eyebrows and eyes were like paintings, and her clear eyes seemed to contain the sea of stars, which made people fall in love with her. Her high nose bridge added a bit of heroism, and her slightly parted red lips revealed a faint smile, as if the spring breeze was blowing on her face, warm and pleasant.
When Lu Qingxi appeared in front of Princess Lening in this manner, the princess was instantly stunned by her beauty. She stared at Lu Qingxi blankly, as if she was attracted by her beautiful face and couldn't help herself. She secretly admired in her heart: "There is such a beautiful woman in this world!"
Zhao Lexuan came back to her senses and showed a happy smile on her face. She walked forward, took Lu Qingxi's hand, and said, "Others cover their faces to hide their ugliness, but you have to cover it up because you are too beautiful. Are you a fairy?" Lu Qingxi had never been praised so directly by a woman before, and lowered her head shyly.
When Zhao Lexuan saw the blush on the beautiful woman's face, she felt even more dizzy. She secretly decided to be good sisters with Lu Qingxi.
Lu Qingxi came back to her senses first. Thinking about how she saved Xue Ji, she felt a headache. It was obviously the heroine's plot, but she had seen the beating scene before and didn't care about anything else. Looking at Princess Lening beside her, she thought for a while and spoke.
"Princess, I want to tell you what happened before."
Hearing the beauty talking, Zhao Lexuan spoke without thinking. "Well, well, go ahead."
Seeing Princess Lening's relaxed attitude, Lu Qingxi told her everything. However, she did not say that she knew it was Wang Xu who did it, firstly because she had no evidence, and secondly because she was worried about affecting the development of the plot.
Zhao Lexuan's expression became more serious after hearing this. "It has nothing to do with you. You don't know much. Don't think too much about it. I'll send someone to investigate." As she spoke, she looked at the reaction of the beauty beside her. She was relieved when she saw that she didn't show any nervous expression.
When Lu Qingxi heard Princess Lening's words, her expression did not change. She was just passing by, so naturally it had nothing to do with her. But on Xue Ji's side, it became that she saved her... Wait, the only people around Princess Lening knew that she saved someone, so she just needed to let them know and not tell anyone, wouldn't that be enough!
Thinking of this, Lu Qingxi hurriedly grabbed the sleeve of the person next to her. She looked at him expectantly and said, "Princess, can you agree to my unreasonable request?"
Zhao Lexuan's heartbeat was irregular because of the beauty's behavior. She was shocked by the magnified beauty, and was pulled by her sleeves. Her beautiful eyes reflected her own shadow. She thought to herself: I can't stand it, I can't stand it at all! I'll give you whatever you want!
With a trembling voice, he said, "You say."
Seeing that the other party seemed easy to talk to, Lu Qingxi's eyes brightened. "When Mr. Xue wakes up, if he asks the princess who saved him, I hope the princess will tell him that it was my sister who saved him."
After hearing what the beauty said, Zhao Lexuan didn't react for a long time.
"Your sister?... Lu Shiyao?... Why is this?"
Lu Qingxi was a little embarrassed by the three questions. He couldn't tell the other party his true situation. His behavior would indeed be incomprehensible... But there seemed to be no better way at the moment. So he lowered his head silently, not looking at Zhao Lexuan's puzzled eyes.
Zhao Lexuan couldn't bear to see the beauty disappointed, so she broke the deadlock. "If you don't want to tell me, then I won't ask. I agree to what you said."
After hearing this, Lu Qingxi suddenly regained his vitality. He looked up at Princess Lening happily and felt that she was glowing.
Zhao Lexuan looked at the beauty's happy face and didn't want to care about anything else, but thinking about their current relationship, she rolled her eyes and said, "I promised you one condition, so do you have to agree to one condition of mine as well?"
The beauty opposite blinked her watery eyes and looked at her in confusion. Zhao Lexuan felt like committing a crime and continued to speak. "You are not allowed to call me Princess anymore. Call me Lexuan. I don't want to call you Miss Lu either. I want to call you Qingxi... Xier... I want to call you differently from others... Then let's call you Qingqing. It's settled." After saying that, he hugged the beauty into his arms without waiting for her to answer.
Lu Qingxi knew what the woman meant. She wanted to be friends with him. Thinking about it, he already liked this princess, and she helped him a lot today. So he hugged her back to show that he agreed.
Different from the happy atmosphere here, the polo match has already begun and the scene is already heated and tense.
Due to Xue Ji's absence, a seat was left vacant on the blue team. Xiao Ruixuan took the initiative to offer to play and fill in the seat for the blue team.
"Since the prince is participating, then let me be included as well."
Xiao Duanyue, who was sitting next to the prince, spoke naturally.
Wang Xu, who was already on the field, heard his cousin's words and immediately dismounted. After getting off the field, he walked towards the direction of the King of Qi, saying as he walked:
"Since my cousin wants to participate, then help my cousin take this seat."
The Crown Prince and the King of Qi both proposed to participate in the polo match, which undoubtedly added a touch of royal dignity and glory to the already enthusiastic and intense competition.
The prince wore a blue coat, looking like an eagle in the blue sky, majestic and imposing; the king of Qi wore a red coat, looking like a wolf in the flames, mighty and powerful. The two teams lined up in neat formation, ready to start a fierce competition on the polo field.
As soon as the game started, riders from both sides rode their horses at full speed, clubs flew, and the Crown Prince and the King of Qi led the way, launching frequent attacks.
The prince is agile and has excellent horsemanship. He sometimes swings the club to hit the ball, sometimes passes the ball cleverly, and leads the team to continuously attack the red team's goal.
The King of Qi rode his horse bravely and courageously. Not only did he perform well individually, he also assisted his teammates in scoring many times.
However, at the critical moment of the game, the King of Qi showed his cunning side. He deliberately kicked the ball towards the leg of the prince's horse, trying to make the prince lose balance. Although the prince reacted quickly and adjusted the direction of the horse in time, this move still disrupted his offensive rhythm. The King of Qi took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and led the red team to launch a fierce attack on the blue team's goal.
Although the prince's team was caught off guard, they quickly adjusted their tactics and strengthened their defense. However, the King of Qi was not satisfied with this and he used a dirty trick again. He deliberately created chaos, letting the ball pass back and forth between the two teams, and then suddenly snatched the ball and launched a fatal attack on the blue team's goal. This time, the prince's team failed to react in time and the ball flew directly into the goal.
The audience started to discuss this scene. Some people were dissatisfied with the King of Qi's cunning and thought that he won unfairly, while others felt that the game was a contest of wisdom and courage, and the King of Qi was just better at using strategies.
Facing the King of Qi's shady tactics, the prince was not discouraged. He knew that the competition was not only a contest of strength, but also a test of wisdom and will. He adjusted his mentality and continued to lead the team to fight hard.
As time went by, the game gradually entered a white-hot stage. The prince's side gradually stabilized their position with tenacious defense and tacit cooperation of the team. Although the King of Qi still tried to break the prince's defense with underhanded tactics, his underhanded tactics often failed under the tight defense of the prince.
The score on the field was not much different, but the prince's side still had a few more points.
When Lu Qingxi finally persuaded Princess Lening to let her go back, she saw her cousin getting angry at her elder sister.
Earlier, Song Yi learned from the pigeon messages sent by Ying Yi that his cousin would come to the polo club today. He had informed the Ministry of Personnel the day before and postponed the event for another day. He was supposed to arrive early today to meet his cousin, but he was stopped by Miss Qi on the way here, and he had to struggle with her before he could get away.
Who knew that I went to the women's seat but still couldn't find my cousin. After hearing Xi'er's elder sister say that she went out half an hour ago, I couldn't stand it anymore. Why hasn't she come back in such a long time?
Song Yi looked at the woman in front of him unhappily and said coldly, "Ms. Lu is in such a good mood. She only wants to watch the game and doesn't worry about her sister who hasn't come back for so long."
Lu Shiyao's face turned red and blue as she spoke. The joy she felt at seeing the man was slowly fading away...
Gu Rou, who was not far away, had been paying attention to the movements here, but the prince was also present today, so she could only secretly glance at Song Yi.
Lu Qingxi, who had just returned to her seat, heard what her cousin said and realized that he was attacking her because he was worried about her, so she quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Cousin, I'm back now. I met the princess before. She liked me very much and asked me to stay and talk for a while. That's why I came back late."
Song Yi then put away his cold expression, walked forward and looked at his beloved carefully all over, and found nothing wrong, then he smiled.
"I'm glad you're okay. My cousin just had a verbal conflict with your sister because...heard that you haven't been home for a long time."
After that, he clasped his fists towards Lu Shiyao. "Excuse me."
Seeing how much Song Yi cared about her second sister, Lu Shiyao felt a little bitter. She treated him... and he apologized to her so perfunctorily. All she could see was her second sister.
My eyes returned to my second sister. The clothes she was wearing... didn't seem to be the ones she would wear when going out. I couldn't help but say something.
"Second sister, your clothes..."
Lu Qingxi quickly interrupted her.
"Don't worry, big sister. The princess thought this dress suits me, so she specially asked me to change into it."
After saying that, he looked at his cousin again.
"I have been talking to the princess for a long time today, and I am indeed a little tired. I want to go back first."
Without waiting for the two to react, Lu Qingxi pulled Xiaohuan and walked out.
Song Yi had originally thought of inviting his cousin to see the yard he had bought for her after the banquet. But his cousin seemed tired today, so he decided to send her back. Thinking of this, Song Yi immediately followed.
Lu Shiyao looked in the direction where the man left, and only looked away when she could no longer see him. It was impossible for her and him to be together... Let it go... She closed her eyes and turned her gaze to the prince on the field. The prince should win in the first half...
