Chapter 202 The Prince of Flowing Water, The Iron Concubine 5

The Shangsi Festival is also known as "祓禊". During this festival, the parents and seniors must offer sacrifices and feasts, while the young princes and ladies go to the suburbs for an outing in groups.

In the horse farm outside the hot spring villa, Princess Pingyang held a polo match, and took out the Bu Yao that she had treasured for many years and rewarded by the Empress Dowager as a prize.

A group of boys and girls all changed their clothes to watch the fun. The polo started. Zhou Jiayi, who was dressed in red, took the lead and rushed out. She swung the pole in her hand and snatched the ball with one shot.

The one who played the ball game with Zhou Jiayi was the grandson of the Anguo family, Cheng Li. He was a well-known playboy in Beijing. He ate, drank and had fun with a group of friends every day, and hung around various fireworks restaurants.

The fight on the racecourse was in full swing, with constant cheers.

On the viewing platform to the side, Yan Ying and her second brother Yan Liang were sitting together talking.

Yan Liangdao: "Princess Pingyang sent someone to find me just now, she said that you and Fourth Sister had a dispute with Princess Wen, did you do it?"

Yan Ying looked at the bright red on the court: "Princess Wen made a speech to mock my fate. My fourth sister helped me fight the injustice and poured tea on her. Princess Wen was so angry that he wanted to slap my fourth sister. I stopped her from slapping her. As a result, she didn't stand still and stepped on the hem of her skirt and fell."

After hearing this, Yan Liang continued: "I heard what Princess Pingyang said, and I want to betroth Princess Wen to me."

After hearing this, Yan Ying looked back at her second brother, her eyes full of disapproval: "No, she's too stupid"

Since Princess Wen wanted to marry her second brother, but came to trouble her, the younger sister of the Yan family, this woman has a hole in her head.

Yan Liang was amused by her straightforwardness: "I have already turned down this marriage by changing the subject."

Yan Liang: "In the first month of this year, there was a sudden heavy snowfall in Liangzhou, which lasted for half a month. The houses collapsed, the people suffered, and many people died of freezing. As the magistrate, the third uncle led the officials of Liangzhou to turn the tide, open warehouses to release food, and rescue the people. Father It has been revealed that the third uncle should be promoted to the third grade Tongzhi when he comes back this time."

Yan Ying counted the Yan family members who hold important positions in the court. Grandfather is Taifu, father is prime minister, second uncle is a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, third uncle is a third-rank acquaintance, and eldest brother is Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. This is just the family. , I don't know how many collaterals.

Yan Liang continued: "The news came from the palace that Concubine Lan of Lenggong died of illness. The empress has recorded the grown-up third prince Ji Moqian under her name. These days, she often goes in and out of the Palace of Compassion. The third prince is both civil and military. Your Majesty loves it very much. "

"Yesterday, my mother asked me that the empress's mother's family, Duke Anguo's mansion, has a daughter-in-law who is waiting to marry and wants to marry the Yan family. They are looking for me."

Yan Ying looked at Yan Liang suddenly, and joked, "I never thought that my second brother would be so popular in the marriage market."

Yan Liang smiled freely and said: "I'm used to being unrestrained and easy, so I don't want to be burdened by my family. If I don't want to get married, who can force me?"

Yan Ying lowered her eyes and thought seriously: The queen has lost her first prince, and she wants to elect the third prince, who is the male lead, to the position. The two may have reached a cooperation; and the current hot candidate for the throne is the second prince, the biological mother Rong Guifei. , her younger brother is the husband of Princess Pingyang.

Therefore, when Princess Pingyang wants to marry a daughter, it's not all because she likes the second brother, but because she wants to win over the Yan family for the second prince.

While Yan Ying was contemplating, on the court, Zhou Jiayi decided the winner with one stroke. With an overwhelming score, he won the prize of Princess Pingyang: a golden step shaker.

At this time, two young men walked in from the door, the leader was thin and dressed in a purple robe embroidered with green patterns, his face was like a peach blossom, delicate but not feminine, he held a fan in one hand, and patted his palm gently, Appreciated: "What a heroic girl Jiao'e"

And the young man who was one step behind him, with a pair of eyes shooting cold stars, and two curved eyebrows like paint, was the third prince Ji Moqian. He was eight feet tall, with a dignified body, and a dignified appearance. A milky white jade pendant was hung, and the black python robe made him more steady and steady.

These two are the second prince Ji Mojin and the third prince Ji Moqian.

After the two arrived, except for Princess Pingyang above, everyone else saluted and greeted them.

Ji Mojin closed his folding fan, went forward to salute his aunt, Princess Pingyang, and then came over with the third prince, Yan Liang had no choice but to step aside and sit on Yan Ying's side.

Yan Ying was observing the male protagonist, and Ji Moqian was also observing Yan's brother and sister. Yan Liang said in a timely manner: "The spring day is just right, won't the second prince and the third prince go to the game?"

Ji Moqian said, "Let's end later. I heard that Second Young Master Yan is studying in Songshan Academy. I wonder if he will end up in the scientific examination this year?"

Yan Liang raised his eyebrows in surprise. It seems that the third prince has investigated him and came prepared: "The teacher said that I am ready, so naturally I want to participate in this year's imperial examination."

Ji Moqian nodded: "Nan Taishi is good at learning and has the best strategies and theories. I will invite Mr. Yan to visit Nanfu some other day."

Yan Haohao said curiously: "Master Nan is the Big Dipper of Mount Tai in the eyes of my students. He has already resigned from his official position and is recuperating at home. I don't know how the third prince can invite him to come out of the mountain?"

Ji Moqian said: "Master Nan is my teacher"

Yan Liang smiled, neither agreed nor refused, and continued to chat with the third prince about the imperial examination.

The second prince moved closer to Yan Ying: "I didn't look at it carefully in the past. The third girl wears a little powder and daisy, and she is also famous for flowers. The emperor's grandmother said, Miss Yan San likes to eat pineapple cakes from the Palace of Compassion and Peace. I brought some out of the palace today." , try it"

Yan Ying looked at the pastry on the table, picked up a piece and took a bite: "It's delicious, thank you, Second Prince, for thinking about it."

After the second prince heard this, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened: "At the beginning of April, the magnolias on both sides of the moat are in full bloom, and the scenery is beautiful. I wonder if Miss Yan San is interested in visiting the lake with me to enjoy the flowers?"

Perhaps because she was afraid that Yan Ying would disagree, she added another sentence: "At that time, the princes and ladies from the capital will go together. I don't know what Miss Yan San wants?"

Yan Ying nodded and said: "Second Prince's kind invitation, Yan Ying will definitely go when the time comes."

The second prince left after getting a definite answer, and after the third prince got up and left together, Yan Liang said: "The third prince actually wants to win me over!"

Yan Ying poured herself a cup of tea: "This is normal. Concubine Lan was born as a court lady and lost the emperor's heart. Naturally, she can't bring any help to the third prince. Now the third prince is close to the queen. The Xungui family supports it, but these families are about to decline after all.”

"If the third prince wants to win the heir, and he doesn't have enough bargaining chips, he will naturally choose some people from aristocratic families, and gather those who have no power for the time being. When they come to the court, they will be his helpers."

"The third prince has taken a fancy to you, but the second prince has taken a fancy to me. It's the same to win over the Yan family. It's no different. But their behavior tells me that this new round of royal family seizure is about to begin."

After Yan Ying's words fell, the second elder brother looked at her regretfully: "Sister, you should be a man, but you cast the wrong daughter. Otherwise, my Yan family will have another younger generation who is born in blue."

A guard ran over and said, "The Third Prince invited Second Prince Yan to play on the polo field."

After Yan Liang was invited to leave, Yan Ying picked up the teacup, followed the direction of the male protagonist, and saw the female protagonist. Zhou Jiayi was quite sensitive to the gaze of the beauties.

In the previous two raids on the prince, she had robbed someone else's fiancé, so for Yan Ying, apart from admiration, she also had a sense of guilt and compensation.

She raised the golden step in her hand. Girls like shiny jewellery, so it's possible that the beauty also likes this, so she handed it to the maid in the villa beside her: "Give this step to Yan San later. miss send"

On the polo field, the third prince and Yan Liang were on a team, and the second prince was on a team with Mr. Li. With the sound of gongs and drums, the intense polo match began again.

Yan Li had just returned from hammering pills, saw Yan Ying sitting alone, thought for a while and walked to the opposite of Yan Ying: "Third sister is not in a good mood?"

Yan Ying: "Why did you say that?"

Yan Li said bluntly: "I feel that you have been lazy recently, as if you have no interest in anything. Is it because they said bad things about you, and you are sad?"

Yan Ying laughed and said, "I never took them to heart."

Yan Li didn't believe it, and sat down next to her: "They talk about you behind their backs, but they are actually envious of you. Sometimes I think it's very unfair. God seems to treat you very kindly. Your beautiful appearance also makes you have extraordinary talents, the word Zhong Lingyuxiu seems to be tailor-made for you."

It is precisely because of such a radiant Yan Ying that the other three sisters of the Yan family are mediocre. .

Obviously her appearance is not bad in all aspects, but she will always be reduced to a foil in front of the third sister, which leads to her lack of self-confidence and low self-esteem for a long time.

Yan Li has also seen it now, some things are destined, envy and jealousy are useless, because you are envious and jealous, it is only you who suffer, and it will not hurt the other party in the slightest.

As the second sister said: "Sisters of the Yan family are like-minded, and they want to help each other. If the third sister is good, it is their sisters who are good."

"Third sister, you are worried about your life-long affairs, how about I help you as a staff officer?" Two princes died, which shows that the third sister and the palace are not compatible.

Yan Ying turned her head, as if meeting this fourth sister for the first time: "How can you help me as a consultant?"

Yan Li pointed to a group of young masters in the audience and said, "Of course I will find some of the most outstanding people in this group to match my third sister."

Yan Ying smiled: "Then you found a candidate?"

Yan Li looked and looked, and looked and looked: "The eldest son of the official servant's family, the eldest son of Xian Enhou's mansion, and the third son of the household secretary's family..."

At this time, four servant girls came from the audience, each holding a plate, and the leader respectfully said: "Miss Yan San, these prizes belong to the second prince, the third prince, and the second son of Yan. Miss Zhou won the prize on the polo field." Yes, some nobles asked the servants to bring you here."

Yan Ying picked up the golden step given by the hostess and thought about it.

Yan Li looked at the four colorful heads in front of her, and gritted her teeth. The few princes she just pulled out were no match for the two noble princes of the emperor.

The third elder sister is indeed the third elder sister, even though her two fiancés died, there are still princes who came to her door one after another: "It turns out that I am unworthy"
