Tao Ye looked down and saw that today the students were all wearing brightly colored robes, especially the princes and senior officials in Shengjing, who were wearing bright brocade robes and had gold or silver threads on their feet. The boots looked dazzling at first glance, but even so, the sapphire blue figure was also extremely dazzling.
The fifth young master's facial features were already like those of a lady, delicate and beautiful, but now the thin sunlight fell on the person, softening his handsome face a bit.
It was enough to attract women's attention, but few people present dared to pay attention, because all the noble girls studying in the academy knew what Princess Mingyue and Miss Xie Jiasan thought about Young Master Rong. One was the most favored golden branch of the empress, and the other was among the officials. The very prestigious Grand Tutor's granddaughter.
Although these noble ladies are usually more arrogant, they also know the importance of things.
"Look below, which one can compare with the handsomeness of the fifth young master of the Rong family? Besides, I heard that the fifth young master is also good at riding and shooting. This time..."
It was a pity that the noble lady Xu who spoke was focused on the handsome figure on the horse and did not notice the abnormality. She still looked down with an obsessed look, but when she turned around, she saw that everyone had strange faces. Yes, the words that hadn't been spoken yet were suddenly stuck in my mouth for some reason.
"Princess, I am just... just..."
At this moment, she finally realized that she was in trouble. Her legs went weak and she almost couldn't stand up. The more anxious she felt, the more she couldn't think of anything to say.
Mingyue just glared at the person coldly, ignored him, and focused her attention on Rong Jiu again.
Her brother Ajiu looked so handsome on the horse, she wanted to watch him for a while longer.
As for those who dare to miss Brother Ajiu, it’s time to punish them.
Seeing that Mingyue did not have an attack immediately, the noble lady who spoke was both happy and worried at the same time. She actually broke out in a cold sweat in the late autumn wind.
With this man's lesson in mind, the other noble ladies not only stopped looking at Rong Jiu, but even the people around him didn't dare to look at him.
There is only a plain figure on the right, the affection in the eyes is not concealed at all, it is Xie Yunrou, the third daughter of the Xie family.
The prince here had finished reading the sacrificial text, and then stepped forward and shot the first arrow. The students behind him shouted and stepped forward. Most of them took their bows and arrows and galloped away into the forest. Those who were not good at riding and shooting were also slow. Slowly control the horse and do your best.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The ceremony was over, Qi Yunlan slowly came down from the stage, and the ladies hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Everyone, please get up!"
Qi Yunlan still looked as gentle as jade.
"Brother Prince!"
Mingyue bowed casually, then stepped forward and took Qi Yunlan's arm affectionately.
"Mingyue!"
Qi Yunlan was dissatisfied with his sister's rude behavior.
"I know! You must behave accordingly!"
Mingyue let go with a look of displeasure, and the movement of her hand was so big that Qi Yunlan's arm moved back.
Qi Yunlan had no choice but to look at her sister angrily, and then said warmly: "Take care of these young ladies for Guzhao. Don't cause trouble or bully others. Do you understand?"
Mingyue was about to retort, but when she saw the coldness in her elder brother's eyes, she suddenly couldn't say those coquettish words.
"I know! The queen mother was chattering in the palace, and finally outside, the prince's brother followed and came to teach people a lesson!"
Whether it was because she was unhappy or not, Mingyue muttered a few words.
"Obey! Gu Xian is back!"
Seeing his sister like this, Qi Yunlan had a doting and helpless look on his face.
Before turning around, he smiled and nodded to the ladies.
"His Royal Highness is so gentle and polite!"
"You are not showing off in front of us at all!"
While the princess was some distance away from everyone, low voices of discussion could be heard nearby, but Taoye disagreed in her heart. The East Palace had lost two sons in a row in the past few days, one of which was in the womb of the Crown Princess, but at this moment, His Highness's face was full of joy. There is no trace of sadness at all.
When she was in the East Palace, Taoye had a vague feeling that the Crown Prince had something different in her mind. When she saw someone coming over just now, she took advantage of the gesture of bowing down to greet him, so she took a step back, and her face was blocked by the maid next to her.
Even if she is only one in ten thousand, she does not want to be worried about these noble people.
"Everyone has left, let's go back too!"
"Since the prince brother asked this princess to entertain you well, then come to my princess' tent!"
Mingyue was taught a lesson by Qi Yunlan in front of everyone, and she felt she had lost face and pride. At this time, her face still looked angry.
"Thank you very much, Princess, for your hospitality!"
The ladies didn't want to go after seeing Ming Yue's expression, but no one dared to offend this golden girl. Even if they didn't want to, they still had to look grateful.
Princess Mingyue's tent is large enough to hold a small banquet inside.
"Princess, it's boring for us to sit around like this, we should have some fun!"
One of the ladies saw that Mingyue was still in a bad mood after sitting down, so she suggested with a smile.
"What kind of fun can we have in this rough place in the mountains and forests?"
Mingyue didn't have much interest.
"Why don't you let someone play a piece of music to relieve your boredom? I heard that Miss Qian is good at playing the harp, and the sound of the music is really like the broken jade from Kunshan, or the weeping dew of lotus!"
Another noble lady took over the conversation and looked down as she spoke.
The person sitting at the bottom happened to be the noble girl who had expressed her admiration for Rong Jiu just now.
Seeing this, Taoye's heart tightened, and she lowered her eyes and lowered her head. None of the noble girls here were stupid. Since the princess was unhappy, she would definitely find a reason to cause trouble. Instead of letting it happen to herself, it would be better to find a ready-made lamb. , Miss Qian just offended the princess, and so did she.
All the noble ladies participating in the incense shooting were present in the pavilion that day, and they all knew more or less that the princess was dissatisfied with her.
"My maid has also heard that Miss Qian is very skilled in the konghou. Taichang Qing is in charge of Shengjing and various workshops. Miss Qian has been exposed to this skill since she was a child, so she should have this skill!"
As Taoye expected, someone immediately followed up.
"I am happy to be able to perform for the princess, but..."
"Why, this princess can't listen to your music!"
Mingyue had just been scolded by her eldest brother, and she was angry. For a moment, she forgot that this man dared to covet her brother Ajiu just now.
"No, I don't dare. It's just that I was in a hurry today and I didn't bring the konghou!"
Qian Yao's face turned pale.
She thought she had escaped disaster, but she didn't expect to be... She hated these people who made trouble worse, but at this moment, she just hoped that the princess' anger would be smaller.
If she remembered correctly, last year, Du Yanrong, the daughter of Prince Bowang, met Young Master Rong Wu outside the door. She took a second look at Young Master Rong and was pushed into the lake. She lost half her life and never came to the academy again.
"It's not difficult. Today I seemed to see Miss Xie San bringing an instrument. Judging from the size of the box, it looks like a konghou?"
