Chapter 165 Which Woman Would Not Be Moved by a Man Like This?
It was the first time that Rong Feiyan saw the ‘Princess Pingning’ take the initiative to talk to Zhang Guifen, so she was puzzled.
“Before, I have never heard of any connection between the Duke of Qi’s Mansion and the Duke of Ying’s Mansion.”
Rong Fei didn’t say anything else.
After everyone sat down.
Mrs. Wu and others all went to Rong Fei to say hello.
After it was a little quieter here, Mrs. Wu asked:
“Will the Earl of Zhongyong come today?”
Rong Fei said: “Do your best and leave it to fate.”
As she said that, she also looked at Zhang Guifen.
Minglan was sitting next to her, and the two were talking and laughing.
From time to time, young women would go to talk to her.
Rong Fei remembered something and asked with a smile: "I heard that you intended to let your son marry the niece of the Zhongyong Earl. Is it settled now?"
Mrs. Wu sighed: "I'm afraid that the Zhongyong Earl looks down on my Han'er."
Rong Fei said: "Even though I am in the palace, I often hear about your son's romantic affairs. It is indeed necessary to give him some advice."
"However, if the young people are attracted to each other, this matter may not be impossible."
Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "You are right."
Then, she looked at Liang Han not far away and waved at him.
A servant saw it and reminded Liang Han.
He immediately went to his mother.
"Come and meet the Empress Rong Fei."
Mrs. Wu said with a smile.
Liang Han bowed solemnly to Concubine Rong and said:
"Junior greets the Queen, wishing the Queen a thousand years."
Concubine Rong nodded and asked, "Where is he working now?"
Mrs. Wu said with embarrassment, "I haven't found an official position for him yet."
Concubine Rong was thoughtful, "My brother is in charge of the palace now. If your son doesn't mind, he can go there and be a commander or something like that. If there is a chance, he can slowly move up."
Mrs. Wu was delighted and said quickly, "Han'er, thank the Queen."
Liang Han was about to bow again, But Rong Fei shook her head and said:
"It's just a small matter, so let's skip the customary etiquette."
Mrs. Wu smiled and said: "Your Majesty is kind and has solved a problem for our Liang family."
Rong Fei said: "I think Liang Han is a good kid, so there is a chance."
Liang Han blurted out: "What chance?"
Rong Fei asked back: "Don't you like the niece of the loyal and brave marquis? Now she is sitting side by side with the girl from the Zhang family. If you have nothing to do, you can go and say hello."
It's called a polo competition, but it's more like a blind date meeting.
It's common for young men and women to meet and chat for a few words.
Although there are differences between men and women, some people say that gentlemen like to marry beautiful ladies.
As long as it conforms to etiquette and does not do anything beyond the limit, no one cares much on this polo field.
Liang Han followed Rong Fei's gaze and saw the sixth girl of the Sheng family, but the stunning woman in red next to her. Hiss.
"Madam, let's talk about it when there's a chance."
If Liang Han were to ask himself, he thought Minglan was not his type.
It was said that he was interested in Minglan because Madam Wu had mentioned this to Wang Ruofu.
He felt that even if it really happened, it would only be a political marriage.
Madam Wu said, "Madam is right."
"Han'er, go say hello to Miss Sheng, it's harmless."
Liang Han looked miserable.
Sitting next to her was Zhang Guifen!
Even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to provoke her!
But he couldn't get over his own mother.
Liang Han had no choice but to go to Zhang Guifen.
As soon as he left, Rong Fei said:
"It's not good to let your Liang Han have unrequited love all the time. More importantly, it's Minglan's mind."
Mrs. Wu nodded slightly, "It's a good thing to let the young people get together more."
Liang Han tiptoed to Zhang Guifen with trepidation, looked at Minglan, and said with a fist:
"Ms. Minglan, I have been to your Sheng family. Do you remember it?"
Minglan saw him coming over and was immediately displeased, but this was the polo field opened by Mrs. Wu after all, so it was not easy to refuse him.
"It turned out to be Mr. Liang. I am polite."
After saying that, she was about to stand up and bow.
Unexpectedly, she was held down by Zhang Guifen. She glanced at Liang Han and said:
"Three counts, stay if you don't want to leave."
Liang Han shuddered and said goodbye quickly.
Seeing this, Minglan couldn't help but chuckle,
"He is a young master of a noble family, how could he be so afraid of his aunt?"
Zhang Guifen said: "When he was a child, Liang Han often followed my brothers to play, and I often teased him. Maybe because of some experiences in his childhood, he is a little afraid of me."
On the other side, Mrs. Wu saw her son running away, and immediately shook her head and sighed:
"This child is too useless."
Rong Fei smiled and sent someone to invite Zhang Guifen and Minglan.
After a while, the two went to pay respect.
Rong Fei said: "With the relationship between our families, these customs can be avoided if possible."
"I don't know what happened today, as long as I see Sister Guifen, I am so happy."
Zhang Guifen was about to respond when she heard someone shouting,
"Look, the young man from the Gu family scored a goal!"
For a while, many young men and women cheered,
"Brother Ye, this goal is good, you must be the first this year!"
"Among us brothers, when it comes to playing polo, we have to admire him."
"Good shot, good!"
"."
There are many people who applaud and praise.
Qin Zhen lost.
Rong Fei saw it and couldn't help but praise:
"I heard that this young man from the Gu family is not only good at polo, but also good at pitching pots."
Mentioning the word "pitching pots".
Minglan suddenly thought of Gu Tingye's visit to Yangzhou several years ago, and couldn't help but smile.
Rong Fei continued:
"I wonder if Heng from Duke Qi's Mansion can beat Gu Tingye."
Mrs. Wu said: "Since I opened this polo field, among the young people, the young man from the Gu family has almost won the first place every year."
"Really?" Rong Fei suddenly took off the bracelet on her hand,
"Just consider it as a bonus for this year's polo champion."
Mrs. Wu took the bracelet and smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Rong Feiyan pouted and said dissatisfiedly:
"Gu Tingye is only obsessed with these strange skills, and the young master has spent all his energy on studying. It's really unfair to let the two of them compete."
After hearing this, Rong Fei glared at her fiercely.
If it weren't for Gu Tingye's notoriety.
She felt that Gu Tingye was more suitable to be the son-in-law of the Rong family than Qi Heng.
It's just because the power of the Gu family is higher than that of Duke Qi's Mansion.
If the Duke of Qi's Mansion was not the Duke of Qi, if Princess Pingning was not there, the Duke of Qi's Mansion would not be comparable to the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion.
Minglan said, "Sister Rong, you can't say that."
"Second Uncle Gu has been studying very hard these years."
"And when Second Uncle Gu was studying, he did not forget to practice martial arts, so he can be considered both civil and military."
Rong Feiyan still said dissatisfiedly, "But it is obvious that he is nostalgic for brothels and taverns."
Minglan did not argue with him, and it was not mainly about her, so she just stood aside.
She said a few words for Gu Tingye only because Wei Yuan was closer to Ningyuan Marquis Gu Yankai.
On the polo field.
Gu Tingye defeated Qin Zhen, and he quickly got off his horse, walked to Qin Zhen, and bowed:
"Brother Qin, thank you for letting me win."
It was just a game of polo, and Qin Zhen came here for fun. Winning and losing are common. He smiled and said:
"Everyone says you are good at polo. Today I have seen it."
"When will we compete in throwing pots and shooting? This is what our noble children should play."
"Don't learn from those scholars who always recite poems and play with the moon."
This is to remind Gu Tingye not to learn from Yang Wuduan.
Recently, people in the capital have been saying that Gu Tingye stood up for Yang Wuduan when he was drunk.
Yang Wuduan participated in the imperial examination, but because his poems were flashy and unrealistic, he failed many times, so he devoted himself to writing lyrics.
Zhao Zhen criticized this kind of person, saying that he was too romantic and absurd, and not decent.
Gu Tingye felt that this was a bit exaggerated.
What he said was one thing, but once it reached the emperor's ears, it was another thing.
"Is that Brother Wei?"
Suddenly, Gu Tingye noticed that a burly man appeared at the entrance of the polo field and was walking slowly with a horse.
Qin Zhen looked up and saw that it was indeed Wei Yuan.
He didn't have time to say anything to Gu Tingye, and immediately trotted over.
Gu Tingye hurriedly followed him.
When the two came to Wei Yuan, they bowed one after another and said:
"I see Marshal Ma!"
"I see Brother Wei."
Hearing this, Wei Yuan helped Qin Zhen up and said:
"Today is a day off, so there is no need to call for your position. You two should get up quickly."
Since Gu Tingye just won the game, many people were looking at him at this time.
Seeing him and Qin Zhen trotting to greet someone, everyone started to discuss.
"Who is this person? Is he worthy of a young master and the second son of the Gu family to greet him?"
"Yes, the key is that he hasn't returned the greeting."
"It's a bit far away, so I can't see clearly. It seems to be the Earl of Zhongyong?"
"What? The Earl of Zhongyong is here? The general who brought the two kings to justice?"
"It's the Earl of Zhongyong who is here."
"."
For a moment, because of Wei Yuan's appearance, everyone's eyes, including Rong Fei, were attracted.
Only Zhang Guifen glanced at Wei Yuan, then quickly lowered her head and whispered to Minglan beside her:
"Look at my makeup and see if it's damaged. Do I need to touch it up?"
Minglan smiled and covered her mouth, "My aunt looks the best today, no one can compare to her."
Zhang Guifen was a little nervous, "I'm not kidding you."
Minglan nodded seriously and said, "If my uncle saw my aunt today, he would probably be unable to walk."
Zhang Guifen blushed, "You dead girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Minglan laughed even more happily.
She liked to see Zhang Guifen, who was usually fearless, being embarrassed and nervous in front of her uncle.
At this time.
Qi Heng and many other noble sons also saw Wei Yuan's figure.
Without saying a word, they all went to greet him tacitly,
"Qi Heng greets Uncle Wei."
"Greetings to General Wei."
"."
For a while, Wei Yuan became the focus of attention.
If those young women hadn't known that Zhang Guifen had already had an engagement with Wei Yuan, and that Zhang Guifen was still here today.
Otherwise, they would have gone to pay their respects.
Which woman would not be moved by seeing a great hero or a great hero who gallops on the battlefield and is not afraid of power?
