Chapter 39

Gu Yanfei casually brushed a strand of hair that was blowing on her cheek, revealing her clear and beautiful jawline and a neck like a pink lotus root. When her chin was lifted slightly, her expression was somewhat careless.

Everyone in the water pavilion couldn't sit still.

Many people have already heard that the queen mother will come today, but that is just a rumor, they did not expect the queen mother to come.

Looking at the Empress Dowager's attire today, it is obvious that she is traveling in micro-clothes.

The fact that she and Concubine Jing came in low-key meant that she didn't want to interrupt the polo match, so everyone present didn't stand up to salute for the time being, they just pretended they didn't know.

But their gazes could not help but drift towards the queen mother, thinking: It is rumored that the queen mother wants to choose a concubine for King Kang, so it seems likely.

The current Empress Dowager, surnamed Yuan, is the successor of the late emperor and was born in Yuan's family in Yangzhou.

Since the previous dynasty, the Yuan family has been a well-known family, and it can be said to be extremely prominent in Yangzhou.

The Yuan family has lasted for more than three hundred years, and there have been many prominent officials and officials in the family. The family not only occupies a place in the court, but also has a good reputation among the people.

Empress Dowager Yuan was fifteen years younger than the late emperor, and she was favored by the late emperor as soon as she entered the palace, and she gave birth to the late emperor's youngest son, King Kang. In the later years of the first emperor, there was a plan to abolish the crown prince, which shows that he favored King Kang.

Empress Dowager Yuan sat down on a carved red sandalwood chair under the scorching eyes of everyone, and her every move was as elegant and dignified as if measured by a ruler.

On the polo field, young figures rode horses galloping like lightning, rampaging, both sides chasing the only ball and refusing to give in to each other.

Princess Jing was sitting beside the Empress Dowager, and said softly:

"Empress Dowager, the girl in red on the red horse is Miss Hong from the residence of General Longhu."

"The girl in pink is the second daughter of Mr. He, the chief soldier of Jizhou."

"..."

Concubine Jing casually introduced several noble ladies present, all of whom were from famous families.

Empress Dowager Yuan picked up a cloisonné enamel plum, orchid, bamboo and pastel teacup, and slowly skimmed off the tea dust with the tea lid, as if she was listening and thinking.

"Snapped!"

On the field, Kang Wang grabbed the ball with sharp eyes and quick hands, and then swung a stick vigorously, hitting the ball towards Gu Yunxie. Gu Yunxie turned around tacitly and hit the ball accurately into the goal.

The scores of the two teams were evened again.

Everyone cheered and applauded, but the smile on Empress Dowager Yuan's lips was a little stiff.

Seeing this, an old nanny wearing a rust-colored trousers leaned down and whispered to her, "This is the second girl Gu from Dingyuan Houfu, Gu Yunxie."

Empress Dowager Yuan stopped moving the tea lid, put down the teacup casually, and glanced back and forth between Kang Wang and Gu Yunxie expressionlessly.

This was the first time she saw Gu Yunxie, and she couldn't say whether she likes or dislikes this girl, but King Kang likes it.

Empress Dowager Yuan frowned slightly, and what her son said to her two months ago sounded in her ears: "Mother, my son wants to marry the second girl of the Yongding Houfu as his concubine, so you can make my son happy."

The Empress Dowager Yuan ordered Gu Yunxie to be investigated right away, only to find out that Gu Yunxie was actually married to the prince of the British prince.

She was not very happy in her heart, but she knew that Zi Mo Ruomu, her son had a stubborn temper, and he had been like this since he was a child. He would definitely get what he wanted even if his head was broken.

She didn't want a rift between mother and son, so she reluctantly objected, thinking of delaying it for a while before making any plans.

but--

What she never expected was that the eldest prince Chu Yi came back alive.

Chu Yi has just returned to the court and has not yet gained a firm foothold. Whether it is the honorable courtiers or the royal family members, they are all watching the prince who has been a hostage for many years. It is very unfavorable for the mother and son if the emperor has an empress.

King Kang needs help, but the Dingyuan Hou Mansion has declined since Gu Ce's death, and now he has no real power in the court...

"ah!"

Suddenly, low voices came from the bamboo shed one after another, calling Queen Mother Yuan's attention back.

In the polo field, the white ball quickly shot at Gu Yunxie on the white horse, like a shooting star, getting closer...

Gu Yunxie's face changed slightly, and in the next moment, a purple figure rushed to her side like lightning, using his back as a shield to block the ball.

"Boom!"

The ball ball was bounced violently, piercing the blue sky.

Queen Mother Yuan: "!!!"

Injured in her body and hurt in her mother's heart, Empress Dowager Yuan felt as if the ball had hit herself, and almost stood up in a gaffe.

She wanted someone to call a timeout, but she saw Kang Wang greet Gu Yunxie immediately regardless of the injury.

"..." Empress Dowager Yuan forgot to speak for a moment, and pinched her neatly trimmed fingertips into her palm.

He is possessed!

Empress Dowager Yuan's eyes were full of dark tides, the scene just now echoed repeatedly in front of her eyes, and she was absent-minded about the next game.

"clang!"

A piercing gong roused her from her thoughts, and she took a closer look and found that the second half of the game was over.

The score of the red and blue teams stopped at ten to ten, a tie.

This result made the audience a little surprised, but also a little unsatisfied.

Most of the people in the field didn't care about winning or losing. The result of a draw couldn't be better. All of them left the field with happy faces, chatting and laughing, changing the tit-for-tat during the game.

After leaving the polo field, Gu Yunxie turned over and dismounted neatly, followed by Kang Wang, who also jumped off the horse, his eyes fixed on Gu Yunxie.

The half-time polo game consumed a lot of Gu Yunxie's physical strength, she hadn't recovered yet, her breathing was a little short, her fair and delicate face was stained with a faint blush, charming and charming.

"Xiao'er." King Kang shouted in a low voice, trying to take her by the hand to take her to see the Queen Mother, but Gu Yunxuan nimbly moved his hand away from the side of his body, and his half-drooped eyelashes trembled.

Kang Wang narrowed his slender eagle eyes, and moved faster. This time, he held Gu Yunxie's wrist forcefully, and pulled her towards the Queen Mother Yuan with her head held high.

This scene was naturally taken into the eyes of other people around, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, all watching this scene with different expressions.

The surrounding sounds seemed to be sucked away in an instant, and there was no sound.

Empress Dowager Yuan watched the pair of Bi people walking towards her, and the distance gradually narrowed.

Her fair girl's hand suddenly pinched the armrest of the grand master's chair, and she vaguely guessed what her son was going to say, and she frowned even tighter.

Under everyone's bright eyes, Kang Wang calmly took Gu Yunxie's hand and walked to the front of Queen Mother Yuan, with an expression of arrogance that looked down on the world and a solemnity that regarded the world as a treasure.

"Mother's Queen," he bowed to Queen Mother Yuan, and said loudly, "I want to marry Gu Yunxie as the princess, and I hope my mother will make it happen!"

Gu Yunxiu stood beside him, her eyes widened slightly, and she looked up at his sculpture-like profile.

He has always been cold, arrogant and arrogant, but he is gentle and considerate to her, with sincerity.

This kind of him especially moved her.
