The princess is killing like crazy again
Chapter 6: Young Man in Bright Clothes and Angry Horse
Xiao Yurong had no idea what this man's moods were. She just felt that he was moody, so she pulled Wang Wanru away.
Xiao Yurong looked down from the upstairs and saw that both teams were ready to go, but Xiao Yucheng, who was at the end of his own team, did not look too happy.
Looking closely, Xiao Yucheng's right hand holding the golf club was shaking a little, and his lips were pale.
Thinking about the little trick the Yang family had just played, Xiao Yucheng was hit on the elbow by the opponent. That blow must have been heavy, but Xiao Yucheng did not show any strange expression.
I just played another round again, and I think the original injury dragged me down.
Xiao Yurong paused, turned around and shouted to Xiao Yuxie who was chatting with Prime Minister Li, "Brother!"
Compared to her willful revelation, it was more reasonable for Xiao Yuxie to give the fruit to the prince as a friendly brother.
Xiao Yuxie put down the celadon cup and said calmly, "What's wrong with this?"
"I think Fourth Brother seems to be thirsty, his lips are pale. How about your Royal Brother give him some fruit to quench his thirst?" Xiao Yurong said with a smile.
Xiao Yuxie raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
On the contrary, Huo Zhao, the head of the Huo family, laughed and said, "Yu'er is just being partial. You have so many brothers and cousins, but you only care about your fourth brother."
The Yunhe and Huo families are the maternal clans of Xiao Yuxie and Xiao Yurong, and Huo Zhao is the only younger brother of the deceased, who was also very prominent at one time.
Huo Zhao also played an important role in Xiao Yurong's development into a arrogant person.
Xiao Yurong said, "Uncle loves to laugh at me. I just saw that Fourth Brother seemed to have injured some bones in the polo game just now, so I am a little worried now."
"That was my fault. I misunderstood Yu'er's concern and turned around to pick out silks, satins, rouge and powder to apologize to Yu'er." Huo Zhao smiled.
"I'm glad that my uncle knows." Xiao Yurong crossed his arms.
Her uncle was only a few years older than Xiao Yuxie, and he really loved her very much, but he was also a powerful official, and Emperor Xiao hated him to bits.
Whenever someone in the court impeached him, he would go directly into the imperial study, pick out the impeachment letter and burn it.
When Huo Zhao came up with this idea, the Wang, Liu and Li clans followed suit, making the situation of the royal family even worse. All the civil and military officials in the court were from the same clan, and no one dared to speak out.
Huo Zhao looked down on the Xiao family, but he understood that they were connected as a family. Since he was connected by blood to his deceased sister, he also felt pity for the two descendants she left behind, Xiao Yuxie and Xiao Yurong, and sincerely wanted to support them in taking power.
In the previous life, King Liu, Cui and the other three clans jointly attacked Yujing, and the imperial city fell. The Li clan added fuel to the fire, while the reinforcements of the Huo clan were cut off at Liangjie Mountain by Cui Ci Ning.
I guess after the Xiao family is destroyed, the next one will be the Huo family.
She should really praise Cui Ci Ning as a natural military talent and a young general who conquered all directions.
Xiao Yurong's eyes were somewhat sad. "I know my uncle is just concerned about me."
Huo Zhao was stunned by Xiao Yurong's rare understanding, and then he smiled, "What are you talking about?"
He treated Xiao Yurong even more than his own son.
Although he is still unmarried and childless, Emperor Xiao is happy to see this.
Emperor Xiao was displeased with the arrogance of the Huo family, but he also knew that the Huo family, as the maternal family, was the strength of Xiao Yuxie and Xiao Yurong. However, he was worried that after Xiao Yuxie succeeded to the throne in the future, the in-laws would monopolize power.
It’s a good thing that Huo Zhao has no heir.
"Stop making trouble for your uncle." Xiao Yuxie picked a bright red pomegranate for Xiao Yurong, which was both heavy and auspicious. "Here you go."
"I knew that my royal brother is the best." Xiao Yurong smiled with his eyes narrowed.
Xiao Yuxie knew very well that his sister would always say whoever got the best advantage was the best, so he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
Xiao Yurong took a step forward holding the pomegranate and shouted, "Fourth Brother!"
The person she called out to was Xiao Yucheng, but it was all the young men on the field who turned around and looked at her.
"Fourth brother!" Xiao Yurong waved his hand and threw the pomegranate towards Xiao Yucheng. "Come here! I asked my eldest brother for the fruit for you!"
Xiao Yucheng subconsciously stretched out his hands and leaned forward to receive it. He raised his left hand above his head, but his right hand was only halfway raised when his face changed and he froze in mid-air, sweating profusely.
Cui Ci Ning noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Yucheng, so he raised his hand to help Xiao Yucheng and stabilize the pomegranate that was hitting Xiao Yucheng's left hand.
The pomegranate skin cracked in several places, showing the fullness of the pomegranate and Xiao Yurong's great strength and accuracy.
Everyone on the field had different expressions. Xiao Yusheng, who was closest to Xiao Yucheng, frowned, pulled off Xiao Yucheng's arm guard, and quickly pulled up his sleeves.
Xiao Yucheng's elbow was red and swollen, with large purple patches and blood oozing from the scratches. His posture was also a little wrong, and he looked horrible.
Those who witnessed it gasped. How painful it must be. But the Fourth Prince was tough and endured it for such a long time without making a sound.
The nobles upstairs were whispering about the injury. There were many discerning people, and many of them saw the Yang family's shady move just now.
"Did you play polo just now?" Xiao Yusheng looked worried. "This doesn't look right. Let's call a doctor to take a look."
The clever servant nearby had already run to call back the doctor who had just left.
Cui Ci Ning also looked disapproving, "Your bones are dislocated, and you can't do strenuous exercise or touch water for half a month. And you're still thinking about playing polo? You won't have to play next time."
Xiao Yucheng suddenly became anxious, "I'm fine, why can't I fight? It's just a small injury, I don't care about it."
When Xiao Yurong saw that Xiao Yucheng's hand had a problem, he frowned and looked at the embarrassed Yang Jia with a cold look.
She pointed at the Yang family's leader's neck and mouthed grimly, "You wait."
Those people looked even uglier. Princess Zhaoyang was too arrogant.
Li Yaozhi was a gentleman, and he took the initiative to dismount, "This is a serious matter, so it's better to check it first."
Xiao Yucheng wanted to argue a bit more, but Xiao Yuxie's dignified and calm voice came from above: "Yucheng, don't make trouble."
"Yes, my royal brother." Xiao Yucheng lowered his head dejectedly.
He knew the condition of his own hand, and since he had checked it, he definitely couldn't fight it. Now the team was not complete.
Xiao Yucheng turned over and got off the horse, one hand hanging limply by his leg, the other hand still holding the pomegranate.
It looked pitiful and somewhat funny.
The old doctor, who was already very old, had just reached the entrance of the garden when he was carried back with his suitcase. He examined Xiao Yucheng's hand with a gloomy face.
"Your bones are dislocated and swollen like this. I'll prescribe some medicine. Remember to take it. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. You have to be careful from now on." The old doctor pressed Xiao Yucheng's hand deftly, moved it twice, took out two small wooden boards, tied them up with bandages to fix Xiao Yucheng, and then went on to write the prescription.
Xiao Yucheng still asked unwillingly: "What about playing polo..."
"Don't even think about it." The old doctor refused coldly.
Xiao Yucheng was completely depressed. "Then we are short of one person. How can we fight?"
"You should just relax and heal your injuries." Xiao Yusheng said.
It is impossible to admit defeat. If people get the news that he is surrendering without a fight, it will not only bring shame to the Xiao family, but Cui Ci Ning will probably have his legs broken by his father when he gets back.
Xiao Yuxie nodded, turned to Li Yaozhi with a calm expression, and said: "In that case, then there will be one less..."
"Wait." Xiao Yurong said.
Everyone's eyes fell on her. Xiao Yurong curled her lips and said, "Who said there's one less person? Do you think there's no one left in the Xiao family?"
Xiao Yurong said: "I will fight on behalf of my fourth brother."
Under the astonished gazes of others, Xiao Yuxie did not say anything to stop him. Xiao Yurong went downstairs and walked to Li Yaozhi in the scorching sun and gazes.
"I'll do it, is that okay?" The sun was too bright, and Xiao Yurong asked with half-closed eyes.
Li Yaozhi smiled, bowed and said, "Shao Yan asks for your guidance, Your Highness."
Xiao Yurong raised the corner of his lips, turned around and said to Cuicui, "Bring my horse here."
"What are you standing there for? Take off your arm guards and knee pads and give them to Rongrong." Xiao Yusheng patted Xiao Yucheng.
Xiao Yurong put on Xiao Yucheng's arm and knee guards and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, just eat pomegranates next to big brother and watch me win."
This was quite an arrogant tone, but Xiao Yurong did have the capital to be arrogant, and Li Yaozhi just smiled and said nothing.
Xiao Yucheng held the pomegranate in his left hand and couldn't help but remind her: "Don't get hurt. I'll wait for you to come back and eat the pomegranate."
Xiao Yurong's horse was led over. It was a BMW horse personally selected by Emperor Xiao. It had been with Xiao Yurong since it was a foal. Because it was a black horse with a face as white as jade, it was named Snow-faced Lady.
Xiao Yurong climbed onto the horse and said, "Don't worry."
The BMW had a jade-carved saddle and a gold belt. Xiao Yurong held the reins, took the crescent-shaped bat, and was ready to go.
On each side, one was led by Li Yaozhi and the other was led by Cui Ci Ning, both of whom became famous at a young age.
Li Yaozhi was a very talented young man, as wise as a demon. Cui Ci Ning was brave and good at fighting, with great talent and strategy.
After the kick-off, both sides were light and agile, riding horses to compete.
Xiao Yurong took the lead, his bat dancing like a waning moon and his red ball flying like a meteor.
The opponent was obviously also giving it his all. Except for Li Yaozhi, no one was guarding against Xiao Yurong, and they were unexpectedly broken through by Xiao Yurong.
There are several people from the Huo family in Li Yaozhi's team, who can be considered Xiao Yurong's cousins, and they don't want to confront Xiao Yurong.
Xiao Yurong passed several people and when the ball was approaching the opponent's goal, the beating of drums became more rapid.
When attacking the ball, the drums are beaten three times and shouts are heard one after another.
The winner sings the chip and raises the flag to indicate that he has scored a point.
In just a short moment, Xiao Yurong actually scored a point.
There was thunderous applause, and Wang Wanru was the first to applaud: "Great!"
Xiao Yucheng almost smashed the table with his good hand, "Good! Good job!"
The nobles who were watching the game upstairs and downstairs praised: "Princess Zhaoyang is really good at riding and shooting. I didn't expect that she is also so good at playing football. A woman is as good as a man."
"Yuer plays polo better than before." Huo Zhao was a little surprised.
Xiao Yuxie inadvertently revealed a bit of pride, but he still had to be modest: "It's just that, just don't give in to Rongrong when dealing with the cousins."
Xiao Yurong could naturally see that his cousins were showing mercy, so he turned around and said, "If my cousins let me do it again, I will be angry."
Several cousins said seriously, "It was my mistake. We will fight hard next time."
"Then cousin, you better be careful." Xiao Yurong smiled complacently, put his stick on his shoulder, and rode his horse to continue to join the golf course.
Li Yaozhi had already scored a goal, and Cui Ci Ning also scored a goal.
The young men were galloping on their horses, going back and forth, with no one to lose.
Wang Fuxuan lowered his eyes and looked at the young men who were dressed in fine clothes and riding horses, full of vigor and vitality, and pursed his lips.
Cui Ci Ning and his horse have overcome countless deaths and opportunities on the battlefield. Their incredible speed, coupled with their accurate shooting, made them a top priority for the opponent's defense.
Li Yaozhi had a strong sense of awareness on the field and a large range of activities. Seeing Cui Ci Ning riding his horse east and west, he focused on stopping him.
Xiao Yurong was as light as a swallow, with a waist as flexible as a willow. She was able to often grab the ball, but was also defended by Li Yaozhi.
As time is running out, both sides are chasing each other, but the scores are surprisingly the same.
Xiao Yurong was sweating profusely. He clenched his stick tightly and tried to grab another ball, but when he turned around, it was taken away by Li Yaozhi.
Xiao Yurong shouted, "Third brother! Stop him!"
Xiao Yusheng, who was closest to Li Yaozhi, rode his horse towards Li Yaozhi.
Li Yaozhi galloped at lightning speed and suddenly turned his horse's head to change position. Xiao Yusheng controlled the horses to avoid each other and the bat scraped away grass debris.
Li Yaozhi's ball was snatched away by Xiao Yurong who saw the opportunity at the other end. All the players of the opposing team rushed up to surround Xiao Yurong.
Xiao Yurong directly passed the ball to Cui Ci Ning who was waiting outside, and the group of people chased Cui Ci Ning like hungry wolves.
Cui Ci Ning was running at a very fast speed, rushing westward like the wind and lightning, unstoppable.
However, the final kick was blocked by Huo's cousin who had been waiting for a long time and the ball was knocked away.
The seven-treasure red ball that fell back into the center of the field became ownerless again, and a group of people turned their horses around to grab it.
"Snow-faced Lady!" Xiao Yurong shouted tenderly, leaped up on her horse, reached Snow-faced Lady's neck, bent down and swung the club with an extremely thrilling move, snatched the ball from the crowd of men, and ran all the way towards the opposite goal.
Seeing this, Cui Ci Ning turned around and tried to stop the people on the opposite side from chasing Xiao Yurong.
Huo's cousin immediately stopped Xiao Yusheng and Cui Ci Ning. Li Yaozhi took the opportunity to break through and chased Xiao Yurong at full speed.
"Rongrong!" Xiao Yusheng reminded Xiao Yurong that someone was chasing them.
When Xiao Yurong turned her head, she found that Li Yaozhi had caught up with her and was riding his horse side by side with her, his horse as fast as lightning.
He is dressed in a simple blue shirt and rides a proud white horse; she is dressed in a thick red shirt and rides a proud black horse.
Li Yaozhi leaned over to grab the ball, and Xiao Yurong pulled out his hairpin and stabbed the horse.
The Snow-Faced Lady sped up due to the pain, and Xiao Yurong went straight to the goal and hit the ball into the hole.
The red skirt fluttered in the strong wind, and the green shadows fluttered lightly. Li Yaozhi slightly opened his eyes, stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiao Yurong looking back and smiling in the bright sun.
The whole place was shocked.
"We won!" Cui Ci Ning galloped on his horse excitedly, came over and hugged Xiao Yurong on horseback.
"We won!" Xiao Yurong also cheered happily.
At this moment, Xiao Yurong looked at Cui Ci Ning and forgot about many things. He was truly happy. The young man's rebellious eyes and eyebrows were shining, which was very touching.
After getting off the horse, Xiao Yurong and his brother hugged each other to celebrate the joy of the moment.
When I was young, I was dressed in fine clothes and rode a horse. I was a romantic young man and could see all the flowers in Yujing in one day.
The young men in thin spring clothes and high spirits were the most eye-catching. With the tacit approval of their elders, the brave girls threw handkerchiefs, sachets and fruits at the young men, and some girls even threw them into Xiao Yurong's arms.
"Don't say that women are just like that. The princess is a heroine and beautiful. I am not going to give it to her."
"It was really thrilling when Princess Rong pulled out her hairpin and stabbed the horse. It shows how courageous she is. If I were a man, I would like her too."
Several young ladies covered their mouths and joked.
The aroma hit her face, and then the subtle fragrance lingered for a long time. She threw those handkerchiefs and fruit sachets into Xiao Yurong's arms, and she was very proud of it.
It's amazing that she still remembered to ask Cuicui to find someone to check whether Xuemian Niang's wound was serious.
Snow-Faced Lady is Xiao Yurong's favorite horse, but she is willing to take action to win. Anyone with a little bit of common sense can see Xiao Yurong's decisiveness and ruthlessness.
