Chapter 406: Hatred

Gong Qianyue held Qin Huiyin's hand and said worriedly, "I was really scared just now."

Zhu Hongxiu echoed beside him: "Fortunately nothing happened, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Miss Zhang fell off her horse and I heard she hurt her waist. She has been taken to see the imperial physician."

Qin Huiyin smiled and said, "It is said that those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future. Look, I just won the first place. Are you sisters envious?"

Seeing that she was fine, the smiles on their faces deepened.

Before, I thought she was a scheming person because of her good looks and business acumen. But now it seems that she comes from a humble family after all, and I could never imagine anything deeper.

The one who was really worried was Chang Xiaohuan. She was the one who posted the message, and if something happened to the person, she would not be able to explain to the Tang family.

Several people went to the observation deck.

The center of the viewing platform was of course occupied by Princess Yuanying and Princess Minghua. Cui Lingyao and other noble ladies from aristocratic families surrounded them. It was as if there was a transparent wall around them, isolating the others from the outside. The daughter of a minister like Zhu Hongxiu could only be ranked in the second tier. The people she talked to were either from a family with a lower official rank or of similar status to her.

Chang Xiaohuan usually sat with Zhu Hongxiu and others, but today she stayed to accompany Qin Huiyin. Qin Huiyin found a corner to sit on the pretext of being frightened. The other noble ladies noticed the strange atmosphere and no one took the initiative to make friends with her. Only Chang Xiaohuan and Gong Qianshu sat next to Qin Huiyin. There were many empty seats between them and the others, as if they were isolated from the outside.

"My sister sent me an invitation asking me to come horseback riding. I thought there would only be a few sisters I knew well, but I didn't expect it to be such a big scene. If I had known it would involve such a large group of people, I would have practiced my riding skills well and wouldn't have almost embarrassed myself." Qin Huiyin lowered her voice and said jokingly.

"I had an appointment with Sister Gong and Sister Zhu to go boating on the lake before. When I mentioned this banquet at the horse ranch, I remembered that you, my sister, had not met yet, so I wanted to invite you to come and have a gathering. Sister Gong and Sister Zhu both brought their sisters, so it would be inconvenient to bring another one. I just happened to have one spot left, so I thought that we would have a good chat and I really like your temper, so I invited you to come and have fun. I didn't mention that there were other people at the horse ranch because only royal relatives could bring people in to the royal horse ranch, and I thought you knew it a long time ago. It's my fault for not thinking it through. I should have sent someone to inform you. You've just arrived in the capital, so naturally you don't know the ins and outs of this."

"My sister and I were just joking, why did you take it seriously? Stop it, people will think I bullied you, then I would be wronged!" Qin Huiyin covered her mouth and laughed.

"You bad girl." Chang Xiaohuan pinched her cheek.

Gong Qianshu said softly, "Look at the field, that Commander Song is really amazing."

Everyone turned around and looked towards the Cuju field.

Every time Song Ruize hit the ball to the prince, the prince swung the club and made eight out of ten shots. They really had a perfect understanding of each other.

Many of the noble ladies have been asking about Song Ruize, but when they heard that he came from a grassroots background and had no family protection, they lost interest.

When no one was paying attention, the ball that was supposed to be kicked to the prince was suddenly kicked towards the observation deck.

The ball flew towards the observation deck.

"Ahhhh..." the lady screamed.

Qin Huiyin watched the ball hit Princess Yuanying.

The noble lady next to her was so frightened that she quickly bent down to avoid it. However, Princess Yuanying was talking to Princess Minghua and did not notice anything wrong at the first time. By the time she saw it, it was too late.

The ball hit her head.

With a bang, the pearl hairpin on her head fell off and her hair spread out.

Qin Huiyin was stunned and looked back at the Cuju field, only to see Song Ruize looking at Princess Yuanying with cold eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person.

Qin Huiyin shuddered.

Where is her warm and sunny little brother?

Could it be that the villain's skills have awakened?

No, no, no, although her brother is not good at speaking, he is considerate and thoughtful, and has long been influenced by her into a sunny and cheerful boy.

"Can't you just hold back?" Tang Yichen rode past Song Ruize and warned him in a low voice, "After you leave this horse farm, you can do whatever you want. Why do you need to provoke her in this situation?"

"Endure it? Endure and watch her bully Yinyin? You can endure it, but I have already endured it by not rushing over and chopping her just now." Song Ruize sneered.

"I think you are scheming. You just want Yinyin to know that you are the one who cares about her the most. For her, you are not afraid to offend Princess Yuanying openly."

"Is Princess Yuanying someone we cannot afford to offend?"

When this situation suddenly occurred, the Crown Prince and the young masters of the noble families immediately stopped their current fun, dismounted and went to check on Princess Yuanying's situation.

"Yuanying, how is it?" asked the prince.

"Ahhh..." Princess Yuanying was furious. "Who was it just now? Who kicked me? Brother Crown Prince, you have to make the decision for me."

The prince looked at Song Ruize in embarrassment.

Song Ruize was about to step out and speak when he was interrupted by King Wei.

The King of Wei touched his head and said embarrassedly, "Sister Yuanying, I'm so sorry. It's my fault that I kicked her too hard. You have to blame the Crown Prince. If he hadn't crushed me too much today, I wouldn't be so anxious. If I wasn't anxious, I wouldn't have hurt my sister, right? Crown Prince, please give some good things to Sister Yuanying to calm her down."

Everyone sees through it but doesn't say anything.

Princess Yuanying did not see what happened just now, but others did.

Song Ruize kicked Princess Yuanying, and King Wei took the blame. If anyone dared to reveal the truth at this time, they would offend several people who should not be offended at once.

"Yuanying, go down and wash up and put on some makeup." After the prince said this, he called the servants next to him and asked them to take Princess Yuanying away.

Qin Huiyin glanced at Song Ruize worriedly.

After Princess Yuanying learned that it was the Prince of Wei who kicked the ball, she dared not say anything and could only sulk.

The prince looked back at Song Ruize and said, "Continue."

Qin Huiyin looked at the direction where Song Ruize left and pursed her lips.

"Don't worry." Tang Yichen said, "Sit here and wait for me."

The Cuju match ended with the prince's victory. Since the match was over, the prince was going to leave with the nobles. Tang Yichen said goodbye to the prince and said he wanted to send his sister home, and the prince agreed.

Tang Yichen did not ride a horse, but accompanied Qin Huiyin in a carriage.

In the carriage, Qin Huiyin looked outside from time to time.

"Don't look at him. He can't leave. The prince won't let him go for the time being." Tang Yichen said lightly.

"Brother..." Qin Huiyin sat down beside Tang Yichen and patted his shoulder, "Good brother, do you think the prince will embarrass Brother Ruize?"

"So what if it's difficult? Do you dare to go back and beg for mercy?" Tang Yichen snorted coldly, "He dared to act impulsively, so he must bear the consequences."
