Princess Min'er, bored, would come to play with Fang Qing every day.
“I heard yesterday that the Prince of Yan held a polo match outside the city. The Princess of Yan invited a large number of ladies from the capital, but not the two of us.”
Fang Qing was looking at the account book when Princess Min'er rested her chin on her hand and complained softly.
Fang Qing glanced at her and asked, "I didn't realize you liked these kinds of occasions."
"Who likes that kind of occasion? A bunch of women chattering about other people's faults. It's so annoying. I just want to see what polo is like in Dali. I heard from Tibet that your polo matches in Dali are particularly exciting. I happen to be good at horsemanship. If I can play, I'm sure I can beat my opponents to a pulp."
Fang Qing chuckled softly.
"If you like, I'll take you to the polo field another day."
Do you play polo?
"Won't."
"Ugh, that's so boring. I was looking forward to playing polo with you."
"I don't know how, but there are quite a few women in the capital who know how to play polo. If you want to learn, you can find someone to teach you. There are polo fields outside the city."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now!"
"You always come up with something out of nowhere. There's only one polo field outside the city, but it's been taken over by the Prince of Yan. We can't get in without an invitation."
Princess Min'er was displeased.
She had heard that the polo match would last for several days, which meant she wouldn't be able to go to polo lessons for several days.
She sighed deeply, slumped restlessly on the table, utterly bored.
Fang Qing shook her head helplessly at her expression.
"Since you can't stay still, let's go. I'll take you to the Royal Farm outside the city. You can ride horses there too."
Upon hearing that she could go out, Princess Min'er became interested and got into a carriage with Fang Qing and left the city.
Fang Qing hadn't been to the Royal Farm for a long time, but the people there still recognized her and greeted her when they saw her.
Fang Qing learned about the farm from the person in charge and also saw several varieties they had cultivated.
Afterwards, Fang Qing took Princess Min'er on horseback for a ride around the area.
Several years have passed, and not only have crops been cultivated in Zhuangzi, but now some vegetables have also been cultivated.
Fang Qing and Princess Min'er rode their horses leisurely for a while, and then went fishing by the lake. Princess Min'er, who couldn't sit still, found fishing too troublesome and went straight into the water.
Tibet suffers from water shortages year-round, and Princess Min'er couldn't swim. She nearly drowned shortly after going in, but a young maid who knew martial arts pulled her out of the water.
He was soaked to the bone, but he was smiling as if he had discovered something fun.
"Why did you go down there if you can't swim?" Fang Qing looked at her helplessly.
"Hehe, if I don't know how, I'll learn. I know how to swim, so let her teach me. There's a lake here anyway."
"Stop fooling around. I'll have someone go find you some clothes, or you'll catch a cold."
Fang Qing led her to a house. Fortunately, there were spare clothes in the carriage, and Fang Qing told her to change first.
"Don't go out. We'll go back once your hair is dry."
Princess Min'er seemed indifferent.
Fang Qing had just sat down when she suddenly heard a startled cry from afar.
"What's that noise?" Princess Min'er asked.
"If I remember correctly, the polo field is right next door, isn't it?"
The young maid stepped forward and responded.
"Yes, this row of houses is separated from the polo field by only a wall."
Upon hearing this, Princess Min'er realized she couldn't possibly rest any longer and sat up abruptly.
"I'll go take a look."
"Your hair..."
"It's alright, it'll be dry almost here."
As she spoke, Princess Min'er had already run out of the room.
When Fang Qing chased after her, Princess Min'er had already climbed onto the wall.
"Get down here right now!"
That wall leads to the polo field area, but it's still quite a distance from where the polo is played. Even sitting on the wall, you can't see the field clearly.
"Fang Qing, I'll jump over and take a look, I'll be right back."
"Don't do anything reckless!"
Princess Min'er didn't listen to her at all and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Seventeen, hurry and go after them to see what's going on."
"yes."
Seventeen easily scaled the wall and passed by.
Fang Qing was speechless.
She never wanted to bring Princess Min'er out again.
He's just like a child who never grows up.
What kind of place is this? It's a polo match hosted by the Prince of Yan, so naturally all the guests are high-ranking officials and nobles. Princess Min'er didn't even have an invitation. If she finds out, it's a small matter if she loses face, but what if she gets hurt by the guards?
Fang Qing waited on this side of the wall, but after almost 45 minutes, the person still hadn't returned, and she started to get anxious.
"Let's go take a look."
Fang Qing, accompanied by her maid, went out through the main gate, but as expected, she was stopped by the guards at the entrance of the polo field.
"I'm sorry, madam, you cannot enter without an invitation."
"Please go and report that the Princess of the Ministry of Agriculture was just next door when her handkerchief was accidentally blown by the wind. My name is embroidered on the handkerchief, and I am afraid it will cause controversy, so I need to go in and look for it."
The guard hesitated for a moment.
Fang Qing came out to play today, and for convenience, she wore simple clothes. She only wore a silver hair comb to hold her hair in place. Now that she said she was the Princess of the Ministry of Agriculture, the guard obviously did not believe her.
Do you have a name card?
"I was in a hurry when I left and didn't bring it with me, but the manager of the farm next door knows who I am. If you don't believe me, come with me to confirm."
Since Fang Qing had said so, the guard naturally had no further doubts and went in to report to the Prince of Yan.
At that moment, the Prince of Yan was on the field, and a guard went to inform the Princess of Yan.
