Let's walk together for the rest of our lives. If the host says to leave, she will leave.

Shen Jingyi reached out and touched Shen Nian'an's head, saying, "Don't be sad, An'an, be happy. There are so many girls in this world, and Gu Ling is not the only one."

These two siblings were obviously still sad, but they were only concerned with comforting each other.

Shen Nian'an couldn't laugh anymore. There were some grievances that he could endure for a day, a month, or even year after year.

But as long as someone points it out, all the grievances in my heart seem to leak out, and the gap becomes bigger and bigger until all the grievances come out.

Shen Nian'an threw himself into his sister's arms and cried heartbreakingly, but he didn't cry out loud.

Shen Nian'an's sadness has always been silent. The sadder he is, the more silent he becomes. Only Shen Jingyi knows about it.

Tears welled up in Shen Jingyi's eyes. She patted Shen Nian'an's back with her hands skillfully, repeating over and over again: "Cry, cry, sister is here."

Shen Nian'an's first heartbeat in his life was in a season of brilliant spring flowers. In this season there was his favorite crabapple blossom. There was a person as beautiful as the crabapple blossom, who came into his world without caring about anything.

The season ended so suddenly, as if it came to an abrupt end.

It's annoying that he's always a step slow.

He was a step slow to notice the end of spring, and also a step slow to discover his own hidden heartbeat.

……

"Play polo?" Gu Ling looked at the invitation in his hand.

General Gu nodded and said, "It is said that it was the eleventh prince's suggestion that the royal family specially fenced off a horse farm for playing polo. There should be quite a few people going there."

Playing polo is not uncommon. What is strange is that the royal family specifically asked Gu Ling and Shen Nian'an to go. No one would believe that there is no trick involved.

Gu Ling put down the invitation, feeling a little headache: "Then go and have a look."

After Shen Jingyi was placed under house arrest, all her matters were handed over to Gu Ling. In addition to preparing to take care of the third princess, Gu Ling has not had a good night's sleep recently.

General Gu asked, "Are you really going? Nian'an is also here."

Speaking of Shen Nian'an, Gu Ling hasn't seen him for more than a month.

Gu Ling remained silent. General Gu continued, "You two are already engaged. There's no need to break it off so completely. If I were to ask you, while you're playing polo, you..."

"Mother." Gu Ling looked at her, "The Minister will not agree."

Hearing this, General Gu fell silent.

She could understand Minister Shen's feelings. What Gu Ling was doing was too risky and would take too long. Shen Nian'an had never seen any ups and downs, so it was not a good idea to involve him.

Wait for this matter to be over...Alas, I don’t know how long I have to wait.

……

This polo event kicked off under the watchful eyes of the public, with some people happy and others worried.

The weather today is pretty good. There are quite a few clouds in the sky, blocking most of the scorching sun.

But it is summer after all, the air is stuffy and restless, and the heat waves come in waves, making people sweat in a short while.

The royal family is always very generous, and the wide and flat horse farm seems to have no end at a glance.

A sunshade pavilion was built in front of the auditorium, and the fine wine and delicacies were all taken out of the ice cellar, still emitting a slight chill.

The polo match had not started yet, and everyone was chatting and laughing in the audience, and Shen Nian'an was no exception.

He was talking to Minister Shen when he suddenly heard the noise of people booing from the other side. When he looked up, he saw the man in red. And...

Next to her was the eleventh prince wearing clothes of the same color.

The two were very close and seemed to hug each other. Although they quickly distanced themselves, judging from the increasingly lively reactions of the people around them, they probably said something else.

They are a good match, Shen Nian'an thought.

But even though he clenched his fists and his nails dug into his flesh, he felt no pain.

A hand covered the back of his hand. He turned around and saw Minister Shen: "No wonder Gu Ling wrote that thing. This is the reason. An An, don't be sad. Mother will find you a better one in the future."

Shen Nian'an has already read the letter of withdrawal of engagement, and it will be made public when the time is right. By then, the woman will get married and the man will get married, and they will have nothing to do with each other.

Shen Nian'an knew that Gu Ling would not be the kind of person who would change his mind easily, but no matter what the reason was for Gu Ling's breaking off the engagement, it had nothing to do with him anymore.

He lowered his head and stopped looking at the lively scene across from him, saying, "Mom, I'm not sad."

In a month, he had been sad enough.

On the other side, Gu Ling's face turned cold as he heard the people around him making noises: "Everyone, the eleventh prince is still young, and I'm also engaged, so don't make such jokes."

The eleventh prince came to invite Gu Ling to play polo with him. When he walked over, he accidentally sprained his ankle and rushed towards Gu Ling.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Gu Ling couldn't just let the prince fall to the ground, so he used his palm to support Yan Shiyi's shoulder, and then withdrew his hand after Yan Shiyi stood firm.

Yan Shiyi's face naturally turned red, and he looked at her affectionately, and the people around him immediately started to make a noise.

Yan Shiyi is a prince, and everyone knows about Gu Ling's engagement. These people must have been instigated by someone to make a fuss. Thinking of this, Gu Ling's eyes became even colder.

Everyone was afraid to continue due to Gu Ling's momentum, but Yan Shiyi was fearless and continued to invite Gu Ling.

Gu Ling didn't want to pay attention, but Emperor Yan Zhao spoke up: "Since Eleven wants to go, you can play a game with him."

"Oh, right." Emperor Yan Zhao turned around and said to the Sixth Princess, "It seems that the son of Lord Shen is here too. Go and invite him over so that we can compete together."

Everyone looked at each other and dared not say a word.

I don’t know what Her Majesty the Queen is planning. She has to separate an engaged couple to compete against each other.

Although the royal family was dissatisfied with the marriage between the General's Mansion and the Shangshu's Mansion, they should not openly break up the couple in public.

Her Majesty the Queen has spoken, and no one dared to disobey. Soon a group of people went downstairs to change clothes and prepare for the competition.

There were a total of twenty people in the two teams, each holding a crescent-shaped stick in their hands, and wearing red and blue clothes for easy identification.

The two teams were in the center of the field, and the game was about to begin. Everyone was staring at the polo in the middle, and Gu Ling slightly turned his head to look at Shen Nian'an, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Shen Nian'an was riding on a tall horse, wearing a blue robe with narrow sleeves. His face was stern, and the belt outlined his thin waist. He looked thinner than before.

The game started. Shen Nian'an rushed out quickly with the reins in one hand and the bat in the other. Gu Ling followed with pursed lips.

Due to the culture of Yan State that values ​​culture over military affairs, people are not very good at polo. Gu Ling leisurely rides her horse among the crowd, occasionally pretending to wave her polo stick, and she still manages to score a goal.

Gu Ling was slacking off leisurely and focused most of his energy on Shen Nian'an. Shen Nian'an was like a chicken with its blood pumped up. Not long after coming on the court, he scored three goals, which was really fierce.

Shen Nian'an was riding his horse around the racecourse. Gu Ling was dealing with Yan Shiyi, the little tail following behind him, while trying to track Shen Nian'an. He was actually a little tired after the race.

Well, mainly because I’m mentally exhausted.
