Chapter 12 A Hero Saves a Beauty
[The fictional setting is the Dayu Dynasty, and the reference background is a mixture of the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties, so the folk customs are relatively open. Please do not bring in the Ming and Qing dynasties. ]
Xi Qingtong was originally quite angry, but when she heard the eunuch's voice outside, her expression changed instantly, her anger dissipated and turned into sorrow, "Jinzhu and Yinzhu, you two go out and watch."
There was clearly a gleam in her eyes, making her look particularly endearing, but the two maids did not dare to look at her and replied "yes" in a trembling voice.
As soon as Song Yunhe stepped into the cabinet, he saw the beauty sitting on the chaise longue and crying secretly. He immediately felt distressed and wanted to wipe her tears with his own hands, but due to their different status, he finally just sat on the other side of the small table.
"Don't cry, Tong'er, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that he clearly wanted to hug her in his arms but was forcing himself to restrain himself, Xi Qingtong felt a lot more relieved, but tears flowed more in her eyes.
After Song Yunhe begged her to tell him again and again, Xi Qingtong said with tears in her eyes, "I heard that my cousin also brought my sister here? My cousin is so good to my sister. I'm really envious..."
"Unlike me... I don't have a husband to accompany me, and I'm bullied and oppressed by my sisters-in-law..."
Seeing the sadness in those phoenix eyes that was about to turn into mist, Song Yunhe felt so distressed. Thinking of Qingwu's eyes that always contained clear joy, the guilt in his heart was so overwhelming that it almost enveloped him.
Song Yunhe couldn't bear it any longer. He grabbed Xi Qingtong's hand and held it tightly, gently apologizing: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought her here."
He completely forgot that he was touched by what Xi Jianan said a few days ago and planned to live a good life with Qingwu.
Seeing the woman opposite him with tears falling like pearls but still silent, Song Yunhe lowered his head helplessly and put his forehead on her tightly clenched hand, praying that she would forgive him.
"I'm sorry... Tong'er, it's my fault. If my parents were still alive, I would never let you enter the Eastern Palace..."
Xi Qingtong lowered her eyes and looked at Song Yunhe's actions. There were still tears in her phoenix eyes, but the corners of her lips were raised slightly, with a bit of pride and a bit of sarcasm.
Not entering the Eastern Palace? What a joke! She had worked so hard since she was little, showing her talent at the tender age of 14 and becoming famous in the capital. Was she just trying to marry an ordinary man?
Xiao Ji didn't know that there was a green cloud covering his head, and he was still fighting fiercely on the field.
The Zhe team he led was three points ahead, and King Ning and King Ying of the Qing team became restless. They couldn't help but say some harsh words when confronting Xiao Ji, but Xiao Ji was not moved at all.
Seeing that he was still calm and composed, King Ning couldn't help feeling anxious, and his hands became more and more agitated. He kept passing the ball, but it was always intercepted by Xiao Ji, which made him even more unhappy.
Seeing that Xiao Ji was about to dribble the ball into the eyes of the Green Team again, he gritted his teeth and squeezed the horse's belly hard. He was already riding a fast horse, and now he broke through several members of the Red Team and rushed towards Xiao Ji. Several of them barely dodged and were almost knocked to the ground.
However, Xiao Ji was not panicked at all. Even if Xiao Fei intercepted the ball, what would happen? His personal guards had already set up a formation to intercept it. It would not be so easy for the ball to enter the red eye.
But who would have thought that Prince Ning would actually follow suit, using all his strength to swing his staff, and the ball instantly flew into the air and headed straight towards Feng Liuyan of Zhe team!
It was a rare and exciting scene in a polo match. Qingwu Feng's eyes widened slightly, hoping to see this elegant and neat goal again. However, the ball was intercepted in mid-flight!
Xiao Ji actually risked his life by standing up straight in the stirrups and blocking the ball!
The entire crowd erupted in an uproar. Just as they were beginning to feel sorry for the ball, the next second, something unexpected happened! A green figure performed a bicycle kick, waving the staff and sending the falling polo ball towards the red team's Feng Liuyan again.
King Xiao Ting of England raised the corners of his lips and smiled confidently. Could it be that Xiao Ji could intercept the ball, but he couldn't?
But the next moment, Xiao Ting's expression suddenly changed. The ball did not shoot towards Fengliuyan of the red team, but rushed towards Guanju Pavilion at the bottom of the north side!
However, someone noticed the crisis earlier than him. Xiao Ji, who had been keeping a close eye on Xiao Ting's movements, had not yet sorted out the thoughts flashing through his mind when the horse under his crotch had already galloped away and ran to the north one step ahead of Zhuqi Qiu.
This series of actions took only a moment. When she saw Xiao Ji running towards her, she still had a trace of doubt. The next moment, she heard a clear shout piercing through the dust and fog.
“Get out of the way!”
The vermilion polo ball came through the air with a strong wind, and became bigger and bigger in Qingwu's field of vision. Even if she was slow, she would have realized that the ball was heading towards her!
Without thinking, Qingwu instantly pulled Shanshan's hand beside him and hid inside. At the same time, an ochre figure outside the pavilion rode on a silver saddle and soared into the air.
Xiao Ji took advantage of the force on the horse's back and flew ten feet into the air. Then he swept his long legs, hit the target accurately with his leather boots, and then gave a spinning kick!
The girl in the pavilion only heard a dull "bang" and the polo ball changed direction and headed towards the polo field.
Outside the pavilion, a BMW's four hooves were flying in the air, neighing loudly, and the gauze curtains were flying in the air due to the impact of the air waves. Qingwu stared at the figure that flipped and landed outside the pavilion, and the surprise in his eyes was beyond words.
As soon as she realized that the polo ball was coming, she had already pulled Lin Shanshan into the pavilion to hide. She never thought that anyone could intercept the polo ball, but not only did she come, she was also the most distinguished person in the audience.
Xiao Ji knelt on one knee to relieve the impact, and when he stood up, the whole audience burst into cheers. However, he had no time to be proud. He just turned around and looked into the pavilion. Among a group of pale girls, he accurately met Qing Wu's eyes.
The moment he saw Qing Wu standing safely in the pavilion, the tense veins on Xiao Ji's forehead finally relaxed.
He took a deep breath, then jumped on his horse and prepared to continue the race, but someone behind him spoke first.
"Why is Sixth Prince stunned?"
Xiao Ting rode his horse over. He had also intended to rescue her, but he was one step slower than Xiao Ji. By the time he got closer, everything was already settled.
Seeing that Xiao Ji stayed where he was and did not come back immediately, he curiously rode his horse forward, followed Xiao Ji's gaze, and his eyes instantly became ambiguous.
"No wonder the Crown Prince's sixth brother is so nervous. It turns out that Consort Liang is here."
When the Crown Prince married his concubine, these brothers had gone to the Eastern Palace for a drink, so they naturally recognized the Crown Prince's concubine's face. But who would have thought that the next moment they would hear a denial.
"no."
Xiao Ting was stunned, and then heard the prince deny it again: "She is not Liang Di."
Before he could think clearly, Xiao Ji simply explained: "She is Liang Di's twin sister."
Somehow, after Xiao Ji said this, he no longer wanted to stay here.
With a cold face, he turned his horse and walked back to the center of the field.
Xiao Ting was left standing there in confusion. Why was he angry?
The King of England thought for a moment but couldn't figure it out, so he gave up. He looked at Qingwu again and looked at him carefully.
He had heard a little about the Xi family's twin sisters, but only today did he realize how similar they were. If I hadn't told you, who would have recognized them?
Recalling what he saw when he walked over, Xiao Ting touched his chin, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
It seems that the twin sisters of Liangdi are not as vulgar as the rumors say...
