The pony on the ground nudged her, and she lost her balance and was about to fall. The soft sword in her hand could not provide any leverage, and she subconsciously fell towards Long Haochang!
Long Haochang was in a good mood, so he put his arm around Xia Mengyao's waist. He smiled crookedly and said helplessly, "You're so impatient! If you hadn't suddenly barged in, I would have definitely taken its head!"
The soft sword in Xia Mengyao's hand fell to the ground, and a heat rushed to her cheeks, making her face flush with shame. She felt that her body was as soft as noodles, and she felt like she was falling into the clouds and couldn't exert any strength at all.
"Your Highness...Your Highness...I'm sorry...I didn't...mean it..."
The women in the martial arts arena were so angry when they saw His Highness hugging Xia Mengyao that they stomped their feet and wished they could cut Xia Mengyao into pieces!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so heroic, why would she need to interfere? She's clearly throwing herself into his arms on purpose!"
"If I had known earlier, I would have rushed down too. Maybe it would be me that His Highness is holding in his arms right now. I am much more beautiful than her."
"I'm not as shameless as her. Your Highness wouldn't like such a person! Born by a mother but never raised by her, no wonder she's so shameless!"
"Why won't she let go? Is she really trying to put the blame on Your Highness? She's even more shameless than Ji Yunhuan!"
Ji Yunhuan was implicated even though she did nothing. She did not squeeze to the front. She was the last one to arrive, accompanying Old Madam Xia.
As soon as Xia Mengyao saw Long Haochang, she didn't even care about her grandmother's birthday. She didn't even think there was anything wrong with Long Haochang stealing her grandmother's favorite crossbow. Instead, she hugged the wooden box containing iron arrows and chased after him eagerly.
Princess Rong'an has left, and all the female relatives present are fascinated by Long Haochang. The unmarried ladies want to marry Long Haochang, and the married ladies want to marry their daughters to the Prince's Mansion.
Old Lady Xia found those dirty words unbearable to watch. She suddenly felt powerless. No matter how she taught her, it was in vain. Her granddaughter still revolved around Long Haochang.
The servant in the mansion brought a chair and Ji Yunhuan helped Madam Xia sit down.
"They are obviously the best girls, respectful to me, always chatting and laughing, and very smart. Why do they become like different people when they meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Ji Yunhuan couldn't answer. In her previous life, she never thought there was anything wrong with this. It seemed that everyone should revolve around Long Haochang.
She had died once, so she had let it go, but others were still deeply trapped in it.
The fault lies with Long Haochang and this somewhat weird world, not with those girls who are like puppets.
"Don't worry, old lady. I will definitely help Miss Xia. There may be danger today. The wind is strong here. Let the servants help you go back and rest."
Madam Xia held Ji Yunhuan's hand tightly. "With your words, I feel relieved. I'm already half buried in the earth. I've seen all kinds of storms. The only thing I'm worried about is Yao'er."
"I'll just watch from here. Go ahead. No matter what the outcome is, the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion will be grateful to you."
Old Madam Xia had made up her mind, so Ji Yunhuan stopped trying to persuade her.
She squeezed to the front of the martial arts arena. The women around her only dared to whisper, not daring to stop her, and even stayed three feet away from her, isolating her tacitly.
Xizi squeezed to her feet and accompanied her silently.
Ji Yunhuan looks lively and cheerful, but he must be very lonely. Ever since he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ji Yunhuan has been sticking to him all day long. She would rather nag him than go out to visit relatives and friends.
In other words, she had no friends at all! There was no noble lady in the capital who didn't dislike her.
The girl is still in her prime, with a face as beautiful as a flower, but she has no one to confide her troubles to, so she can only talk to a cat.
No matter how good his parents and brothers are, they are all busy and cannot be by his side all the time. It seems that Ji Yunhuan is always alone.
The view here is excellent, and you can see everything on the racecourse.
Long Haochang hugged Xia Mengyao and spun around, then raised his hand and shot all the arrows, each of which hit the bull's eye.
He let go of Xia Mengyao, who was still immersed in the pink bubble of love, twisting her fingers, at a loss, "Yao'er, thank you... Thank you, Your Highness..."
Long Haochang prefers well-behaved and docile women. Seeing Xia Mengyao's little girl's attitude, he felt a little pity in his heart.
After today, there will no longer be the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion in the capital. If Xia Mengyao can be docile and obedient, he doesn't mind sparing this woman's life.
"I have used up all my arrows. You must find them all for me. Don't miss a single one."
Xia Mengyao felt that the voice beside her ears was like the sound of nature. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had never spoken to her so gently before. She nodded in panic, "Yao'er, I'll go right away."
The iron arrows were extremely powerful. After hitting the center of the bull's eye, they went straight through and scattered everywhere. Xia Mengyao shuttled around the stables like a butterfly, searching everywhere. She even refused to let the servants help her and insisted on picking them up herself.
The loyal and brave marquis standing next to the horse farm had a dark face!
He was surrounded by relatives and friends who came to the banquet. In addition to military generals, there were also some civil officials. The civil officials cursed people without using any dirty words. They were all mocking him for selling his daughter for fame and fortune, and even letting his daughter do slave work to please the prince!
The prince's action was clearly a humiliation to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, but Yao'er was a fool and did not feel humiliated at all. Instead, she took pride in it.
If they try to please the Crown Prince like this, who will still believe that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery’s Mansion is impartial and not involved in factional disputes?
The Loyal and Brave Marquis raised his hand and called a servant, saying, "Tell Mo Niang to leave the pony alone for now; the groom will take care of it. Go and bring the young lady back! If the young lady disobeys, knock this evil creature unconscious to prevent her from embarrassing herself!"
