Harem Daily Life

“I didn’t expect your sister to go too… Strange, why would the two of them go?” He Jin’an asked, puzzled.

Not just anyone can participate in polo matches; an invitation is required. The Zhou family, being mere merchants, couldn't possibly obtain an invitation. Since the Hua family didn't have an invitation, he personally came to pick them up and let them in by showing his face.

“I didn’t hear anything about it yesterday. When I woke up this morning, I saw her dressed like that, saying she was going with the Zhou family. I don’t know where she got the invitation,” Hua Yuerong said.

He Jin'an frowned, knocked on the car window, and revealed Yin Jiu's face.

"Go check it out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Jiu vanished without a trace.

Hua Yuerong: "..."

Seeing her suspicion, He Jin'an reassured her, "Something unusual must be going on. It'll be more reassuring to investigate." He then smiled and took Hua Yurong's hand, asking, "Has no one suspected anything these past two days?"

Knowing that he was asking about the "sprained ankle," Hua Yurong blushed: "I was locked in my room for two days and didn't see anyone. Your Highness, you should be more careful in the future. I never lied before, but since I started following you, I've started making up stories."

He Jin'an moved a step closer: "I am known for my composure. If Yue Rong can make me lose my composure, she should probably look for the reason within herself."

Hua Yuerong: "..."

Her face flushed red as she scolded him, glaring at him again and again, but her intimidating presence was completely gone, and she almost made Prince Jin lose his composure again.

He Jin'an rested his head against Hua Yurong's forehead: "Yurong, there are still 165 days until the wedding. Can you please stop trying to seduce me all the time?"

I've been drinking several large pots of herbal tea, and lately I can't take any supplements because I'm feeling very hot-tempered.

At the prime of his life, He Jin'an couldn't resist the charms of beautiful women.

The carriage stopped outside the horse farm. The weather was fine today, and everyone disembarked. He Min, He Yanran, and He Yinuo were all dressed very casually, as were He Yucheng, He Xiaobao, and He Xiaoliu. Hua Yurong greeted them one by one, and the group was welcomed into the horse farm and seated in their designated seats.

He Yucheng has an extraordinary demeanor. The young prince has grown into a handsome young man of 1.7 meters tall. Today, he will play polo for the first time, and his opponents are all carefully selected young men from aristocratic families of similar age.

"Go, Crown Prince! I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines!" He Xiaobao massaged He Yucheng's shoulders.

"Brother Crown Prince, show me a few dashing moves in a moment, and I want to draw them all so I can take them back to Mother to admire." He Xiaoliu has recently taken to doodling, drawing a few strokes on everything. His attendant has already laid out paper and brushes and prepared ink for him.

"Go early and come back early. We still need to go to Sihai Restaurant after this." He Yinuo instructed, "Don't linger. Decide the winner as soon as possible and don't delay my meal."

He Yucheng glanced at her: "All you do is eat all day. Be careful if you keep eating like this, or you'll get chubby cheeks." The little cat that the second prince raised has been eating like crazy lately, and its cheeks have gotten so chubby, and its face is so round, it's almost like a pancake.

He Yinuo, who was putting the pastries brought by the Hua family into her mouth: "..."

You're the one with jowls growing out, your whole family is.

Another bite! You always want to eat more of something you've never tried before.

Watching the twins bicker, Hua Yurong couldn't help but chuckle, yet a sense of sorrow welled up inside her. They were both born of the same mother, yet He Jin'an got along so well with his younger brother and sister, while she and Hua Ruyan seemed like enemies. It was truly infuriating to compare oneself to others.

She couldn't help but look around, trying to see where Hua Ruyan was sitting, but unexpectedly, she met a face she didn't want to see.

Jing Yuwei sat with the Fourth Princess. She had noticed Hua Yurong when she appeared with the Crown Prince and his entourage.

Why is Hua Yurong able to sit there, chatting and laughing with the Crown Prince and Princess? Why does Prince Jin give all his tenderness to that merchant girl?

Jing Yuwei was unconvinced. She narrowed her eyes and glanced at the steward of the Han Prince's Mansion beside her.

The butler nodded almost imperceptibly, and Jing Yuwei smiled, her gaze towards Hua Yurong carrying a hint of provocation.

I'll let you be smug for a little while longer. Once I've succeeded, your dream of marrying into the royal family will be shattered!

"The Fourth Princess isn't with us. Should we send someone to follow her?" He Yanran asked He Jin'an, noticing the large number of talented young men present.

He Jin'an smiled and said, "She has her own attendants, and besides, she was very unwilling when I sent people to follow her before. Let her be. I think the Prince of Han treats her very well."

He Jin'an didn't tell He Yanran that every time they went out, in addition to their own entourage, each of them was secretly accompanied by a shadow guard. The shadow guards would not show themselves unless absolutely necessary, but if they really encountered trouble, the shadow guards would directly rescue them.

Not long after the warm-up match, He Yucheng was about to take the field.

He Jin'an focused all his energy on He Yucheng, the crown prince, whose safety was always his top priority.

As the gong sounded, He Yucheng mounted his horse, polo mallet in hand, and charged off. On the field, He Yucheng moved with agility, swinging his polo mallet with great force. Although it was his first time playing, his natural talent and the guidance he had received from his master since childhood allowed him to quickly lead his team to the upper hand.

The crowd on the sidelines was captivated and couldn't help but cheer for him.

"The Crown Prince's demeanor is no less impressive than that of Prince Jin in his prime!"

"His Majesty's first appearance on stage as a child was also quite spectacular!"

"I never imagined that all three of them, father and sons, could be so brave. Like father, like son! Amazing, truly amazing!"

"Wow, how can the Crown Prince be so handsome? I missed Prince Jin, but I absolutely cannot miss the Crown Prince!"

"Come on, you're already fifteen, and the Crown Prince is only twelve. You two are destined to miss each other."

"A woman three years older than her husband is like a gold brick, don't you know? I'm at the perfect age!"

"cut--"

"Wow, the Crown Prince is so handsome! The Crown Prince is so beautiful! The Crown Prince is so dashing! Wow, wow, wow—"

Hua Yue Rong and the other princesses were speechless. The sidelines were filled with the Crown Prince's big and small fangirls, and the shouts were deafening.

"Hmm, that's really cool. I have to draw this pose." He Xiaoliu picked up his pen and started drawing furiously. Hua Yurong couldn't help but go and see what he was drawing.

It's okay if you don't look, but once you do... um... take another look... look from a different angle...

This painting seems somewhat abstract.

"Second sister-in-law, is my drawing good?" He Xiaoliu asked proudly, looking up with her round face.

Hua Yurong kept her mouth shut and nodded mechanically: "...Beautiful." Sure enough, after spending so much time with Prince Jin, she could spout such blatant lies so easily.

"Then tell me what I've drawn?" He Xiaoliu asked, pointing to a long line.

Hua Yuerong: "..."

"Is this... a flowing hair ribbon? Or the untamed wind?"

He Xiaoliu frowned: "None of them are right, it's the graceful curve of the cue stick."

“Look, from this end to that end, the Crown Prince can hit the ball so far in one go.”

Hua Yuerong: "..."

Laugh it off, hahaha: "Liu Bao, you're so cute!"

Hua Yurong couldn't help but reach out and rub He Xiaoliu's hand, her smile irritating Jing Yuwei who was not far away.

Jing Yuwei whispered a few words to the butler beside her, and the butler quickly left.
