The atmosphere of the women's tea party was harmonious and lively, and the men were no less generous.
Princess Wei only invited ladies and ladies to this ice banquet, but many gentlemen also came. They were not just escorting their wives, but also came to attend the banquet.
What kind of banquet are you going to? Of course it’s King Wei’s winter hunt.
Yes, the King of Wei and his wife hosted two activities in Huangzhuang today. Women have their own ways of playing, and men have their own places to go. After the belated arrival of King Wei, their winter hunting activities can finally begin.
The female relatives in the attic heard the noise of horse hooves outside mixed with the loud talk, and went out to watch one after another. Then they saw their husbands, the young talents from the capital, riding high on high horses with high spirits, holding the yellow on the left and the blue on the right.
, went hunting happily.
Outside the ice rink is a forest farm separated by fences. There are captive prey in the imperial village. Royal nobles can hunt and play games all year round. Compared with ice games, hunting is naturally more popular among men.
The heroic figures of the gentlemen on horseback best demonstrated their personal charm. Both ladies and ladies were attracted by the gentlemen and started talking excitedly.
"I don't know which gentleman can hunt the most prey this time and come out on top."
"It should be General Qin. After all, he is a military general."
"It's possible. A gentleman learns the six arts. I remember that His Royal Highness the King of Wei and Uncle Jing Ning are both masters of hunting. They followed the emperor in hunting last year and achieved good results."
…
The above is the discussion of the ladies, but the topic of the discussion of the young ladies is another way - what could attract their attention more than young talents?
"Look, the young man next to Uncle Jing Ning is the second son of Marquis Wu'an. Although he cannot inherit the title, he has the appearance of Pan An and the talent of Song Yu. He is a new and talented man in the capital."
Why is it said that he is a newcomer? Because this title was previously given to Cui Weizhen. Now he has been married for many years, has a stable relationship with Mrs. Ning Guo, and has become the father of his child. This reputation has been given to other unmarried young talents.
Of course, his popularity among women has never diminished.
In addition to the legitimate son of Marquis Wu'an, other powerful sons with outstanding appearance were also the objects of discussion among the girls. However, ever since Cui Qinglan saw the second son of Marquis Wu'an, he could no longer tolerate anyone else in his eyes.
Just now, Mother and Sister-in-law asked her in the carriage if she had any type of young talent she liked. At that time, she only had a vague concept, but at that moment, the person in her dream suddenly had a concrete image.
He should be a young talent like the second son of Marquis Wu'an.
She blushed, suppressing her shame and asked Zhao Yuxuan: "Mother Xuan, I wonder what the surname of the second son of Marquis Wu'an is?"
Zhao Yuxuan was also immersed in the attack of beautiful men at this moment, and did not notice Cui Qinglan's unusual shyness. She continued to popularize: "The Marquis of Wu'an is not a famous surname, but he is one of the founding figures of the country. He has been honored for three generations.
The current generation of Marquis Wu'an is already the third generation of the Duke's kindness. However, Yu Wenci Langjun is the second son, so whether he is demoted to a higher rank or not has nothing to do with him."
However, he was still affected to some extent.
It's already miserable that the second son can't seize the title. But after his elder brother seizes the title and has to be demoted to an earldom, it won't be as glorious as before.
Therefore, although Yu Wenci has outstanding appearance, he is not the best choice for the marriage of the legitimate daughters of each family. Even the Liu family did not list him at the top when they initially inspected the candidates.
After all, Yu Wenci has no fame now. In the future, his brother will not separate the family after he ascends the throne. He can still carry the status of an uncle when he goes out. Once the family is separated, he will be just an ordinary powerful person.
Cui Qinglan didn't have the extra brain capacity to think about this at this time. She just thought that Wu'an Hou's Mansion and Jingning Bo's Mansion were neighbors. She wondered if Sister-in-law Jiu knew something about Yuwen Erlang.
She unconsciously looked towards Sister-in-law Jiu, and saw that she was frowning slightly, looking worriedly at the hunting team that was gradually retreating, with uneasiness written all over her face.
Yes, Brother Ninth injured his hand when he subdued the frightened horse when he came here. I wonder if it will have any impact on this hunting.
Mrs. Liu saw through what her niece-in-law was thinking and comforted her: "Don't worry, Wei Zhen is not a delicate young man. His wounds did not involve the flesh and will not have any impact."
Ye Zhenzhen was not worried about the injury on Wei Zhen's hand, but she was worried that there were some ferocious beasts in the forest and Wei Zhen would be in danger.
However, with His Royal Highness the King of Wei here, I hope she is just overly worried.
The men's activities have already begun, and the women can't sit still. The servants have smoothed the ice and repeatedly ensured that there will be no grooves or cracks that will cause the nobles to be injured while sliding. The manager came to report to Princess Wei.
, you can start playing on the ice.
After Princess Wei announced that she could be dismissed, the female family members couldn't wait to put on their armor under the service of the servants——
Their armors were not as exaggerated as when Ye Zhenzhen wanted to cover her whole body during practice. After all, it was so aesthetically unsightly. For the girls who estimated their personal appearance, it was very intolerable, so they only wore protective gear for their limbs.
After a simple protection, he entered the ice rink with the help of his servants.
The same was true for Ye Zhenzhen. She boasted that she had mastered the ice-playing skills and that she was a brave person, but she also only wore simple protection and ended up off the field.
There are no complicated protective gears to restrain the body, and there is a wide space for gliding. Ye Zhenzhen finally feels the freedom and charm of Bingxi. Such a comfortable feeling cannot be experienced in the small place of the Bofu martial arts field.
Arrived.
Ye Zhenzhen was completely immersed in the charm of walking on the ice, and even put down her worries about Cui Weizhen, with a smile on her face that was no different from the others.
Chu Ningyan slid past her, and her clear laughter floated on the ice: "Zhen Niang, let's compete to see who reaches the flagpole on the opposite side first. How about we use a mutton-fat jade pendant as a bet?"
"Can."
Ye Zhenzhen felt that she had lit up her Bingxi skills and had the spirit of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, so she started gambling with Chu Ningyan without any fear.
Seeing this, Mrs. Qin and others also joined the bet one after another, so the ice rink became more and more lively, with everyone chasing after each other, adding a bit more excitement and charm to the competition.
But the final result was not good for Ye Zhenzhen, because her self-confidence that she thought she was the best in the world was just her illusion. In fact, in this ice competition, she was not only not at the forefront, but also lagging behind—
-The people behind her were all elderly ladies.
This result is a bit hurtful.
However, Ye Zhenzhen refused to admit defeat and was a very addicted type. She was still unwilling to lose after losing once and soon made an appointment for the next competition.
Of course, the three people headed by Princess Wei, Chu Ningyan and Mrs. Qin became the biggest winners. As for Ye Zhenzhen...unfortunately, she became a money-splitting boy again.
