The ladies began to talk about Miss Linghu.
Xuan Yuanche's gaze also fell on Miss Linghu, and he narrowed his eyes.
"Royal brother?" Xu Lingqing called out softly.
Xuan Yuanche withdrew his gaze and looked at Xu Lingqing, who was clutching her stomach: "It's windy outside, and it's making me feel unwell. I want to go back and rest for a while."
"Okay, go ahead."
Huh? Xu Lingqing's face stiffened.
She said this to get Xuan Yuanche to agree to go back with her, instead of letting her go back alone. After watching a polo match, everyone was praising that Linghu girl.
She simply couldn't sit still any longer.
"Royal brother," she called out again, unwilling to give up.
Xuanyuan Che was addressed as the Second Prince by Song Zhen, and the conversation turned to other things, completely ignoring Xu Lingqing. Seeing this, Tao Shi quickly sent a maid to lead the way.
Xu Lingqing's face turned pale, and she felt even more aggrieved.
"careful!"
A gasp of surprise rang out.
The polo ball went out of control and galloped straight toward Xuan Yuanche.
Before anyone could react, the others realized what was happening.
A graceful figure leaped past and intercepted the polo ball, leaning most of her body over Xuan Yuanche and scooping the ball away with her bare hands.
Linghu quickly steadied herself, tilted her head back, and looked at Xuan Yuanche with wide, innocent eyes: "Are you alright?"
Xuanyuan Che shook his head.
Linghu breathed a sigh of relief, turned and walked away, then threw the ball back and went to the girl who had hit the wrong ball earlier. The little girl was trembling with fear.
"Your horsemanship isn't very good. Practice privately when you have time. It wouldn't be good if you hurt someone."
The little girl hurriedly jumped off the horse and thanked Miss Linghu.
Seeing this, another little girl volunteered to go on the field and replace the player. The polo continued, and Linghu Girl also left the field.
"I spend most of my time riding and hunting in the border regions, and my horsemanship is superb. It wouldn't be fair to others if I went on the field." Miss Linghu smiled gently and gave her spot to someone else.
Tao smiled and said, "Miss Linghu is truly beautiful inside and out."
Almost everyone in the crowd was praising Miss Linghu.
Before leaving, Xu Lingqing glanced back and saw that Xuan Yuanche was looking at Linghu with a curious gaze and a smile on his lips. Her heart sank.
Could it be that Xuan Yuanche is also going to fall for it?
"Eighth Princess Consort, watch your step," the maid reminded her.
Xu Lingqing snapped out of her daze and glanced at the jade shoes made of Shu brocade that had stepped into the snowdrift, soiling the embroidery.
She frowned.
