"The racecourse on the outskirts of the city is far away from the inner city. It takes at least an hour by carriage to get there." Situ Wan raised his eyes and looked at Yun Zishu, "Women who have not left the palace have access control and must go home before dark, so if we are after lunch
If we go again, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Princess Rong said: "Then go now. You girls don't have any restrictions when you are together, but the competition is over and you must not hurt the Crown Princess's delicate body."
Dong Lingxuan looked at Yun Zishu with a hint of arrogance in her tone: "If the Crown Princess feels it is inappropriate, then let this matter go. After all, the customs in Dayong are different from those in Dongyou. Even if the Crown Princess is not good at riding and shooting, for the sake of Your Highness,
On your face, no one should dare to laugh at you."
The ladies looked at each other and said nothing.
This matter is related to the face and safety of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and they dare not express their opinions without authorization. If the Crown Princess encounters an accident on the racecourse, who can bear the responsibility?
Princess Rong and her daughter deliberately attacked the Crown Princess and wanted to embarrass her in front of others, so they deliberately provoked her. Even if something happened, Princess Rong was a clan princess after all. Even for the sake of Prince Rong, the emperor would not do it.
Punish her severely.
But that's not necessarily the case for others.
They can't afford the risk.
"If the Crown Princess wants to go, Chu Chu and I will escort her all the way." Princess Wuyang stood up and volunteered to be the flower protector, "to ensure that the Crown Princess returns to the Crown Prince's Mansion safe and sound."
No matter whether you go to the racecourse to challenge the generals or for other purposes, ensuring the safety of the Crown Princess is the most important thing.
Yun Zishu stood up slowly: "If I don't go, I'm afraid that rumors will spread throughout the Imperial City tomorrow that I am weak and unable to take care of myself. Since Dongyou is a martial artist, I should follow the local customs."
Dong Lingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly: "If she fell and bumped into her at the racecourse, the Crown Princess wouldn't cry, right?"
"Presumptuous!" Xianglan scolded sternly, "Princess Xuan how dare you talk to the Crown Princess with such an attitude?"
Dong Lingxuan's expression froze, and she reluctantly apologized to Yun Zishu.
"I don't know how to cry." Yun Zishu smiled lightly, "It's just that the person you bump into may not be me. What if it's Princess Xuan herself?"
"The Crown Princess is worrying too much." Dong Lingxuan said in a cold tone, "Although I am not specialized in riding and shooting, I have been to the racecourse more than once and I know how to control a horse with my eyes closed."
"That's good." Yun Zishu nodded and turned to look at Situ Wan, "I heard that Miss Situ is also good at riding."
Situ Wan only thought that she was trying to make a fool of herself, and sneered in her heart, but on her face she was humble: "As long as the Crown Princess is interested, I am willing to show my humiliation to accompany her."
"Okay." Yun Zishu nodded slowly, "Today's birthday will be a little special for the Japanese Crown Princess. Anyone present who is good at riding and shooting can go to the racecourse with me and enjoy the ride."
After a pause, "But you don't have to have a competitive attitude. Winning or losing is only secondary. We can just learn from each other and make points."
"The Crown Princess is a female family member. What if His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't agree with you going out?" Situ Wan frowned, "If it offends His Highness the Crown Prince..."
"Leng Yue." Yun Zishu said in a calm tone, "Run an errand and tell His Highness the Crown Prince that I am going to the racecourse with all the noble princesses and will be back before dark tonight, so that he does not have to worry."
"Yes." Leng Yue took the order and left.
The atmosphere in the attic was quiet for a moment, and then Huangfu Chuchu turned to look at Princess Rong, who was still there, and said lightly: "Would Princess Rong go with us?"
Princess Rong frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? You girls are showing off your riding skills, what am I going to do?"
"The eldest princess and the other princesses are all having a drink and chatting upstairs. Only Princess Rong is interested in us young girls..." Huangfu Chuchu smiled with a smile on his lips, with obvious ridicule, "I don't know if it's with the people upstairs.
Those princesses are out of place, or are they deliberately highlighting your noble presence in front of us young people?"
Princess Rong's face darkened: "Huangfu Chuchu, you are so presumptuous!"
"Who is teaching my daughter a lesson?" On the wooden ladder, a beautiful lady leaned on the railing and spoke slowly, "The legitimate daughter of the General's Palace is not someone who can be taught a lesson if she wants. If Princess Rong is idle,
If you have nothing to do, you can teach your own daughter well and don’t take it out on other people’s daughters.”
Princess Rong's expression changed, and she turned to look at Mrs. Huangfu on the wooden ladder. A trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. She subconsciously opened her mouth to say something, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"Mother is absolutely right." Huangfu Chuchu nodded quickly, "It is really unreasonable for Princess Rong to leave her own daughter alone and insist on teaching other people's daughters."
Dong Lingxuan's eyes darkened, staring at the unreasonable Huangfu Chuchu, "You were obviously the one who provoked my mother first..."
"Just now, I seem to have heard someone lecturing Wuyang." Another beautiful woman walked down the wooden ladder, with a head full of pearls and hairpins, a soft and dignified face, and an air of nobility that made people dare not look at her, "My Wuyang
She has both talent and beauty, both civil and military skills, an open temperament, and a clear intelligence. I really can't think of anything wrong with her that would require the trouble of an unrelated person to teach her a lesson."
Princess Rong's face turned green and white: "What did the eldest princess say? As an elder, am I not even qualified to teach the younger generation?"
"You have to rely on your elders and betray them. You have to look at how you teach the younger ones." Princess Pingle's tone was calm, but full of pressure that cannot be ignored. "If you want to teach your children, then you can teach them any way, including slapping, kneeling, scolding."
, no one else is qualified to ask, but the princess is teaching my daughter, so you should ask me for my opinion, right?"
Dong Lingxuan's expression changed slightly and she lowered her head unconsciously, obviously a little worried about this Princess Pingle.
Princess Rong was also silenced and couldn't say a word, only an ugly look on her face.
Yun Zishu saw this noble lady and heard her talk and knew her identity - the mother of Princess Wuyang, the current emperor and the elder sister of several princes, Princess Pingle.
Really domineering.
"Mother, this is the Crown Princess I mentioned to you before." Wuyang walked over, took his mother's arm affectionately, and took the initiative to introduce Yun Zishu to her, "The Crown Princess has a good temperament and is very compatible with her daughter."
Princess Pingle turned to look at Yun Zishu.
"In my later life, I have met the eldest princess Pingle." Yun Zishu said with a slight blessing, "The eldest princess is in good health."
Princess Pingle looked at her carefully and raised her lips slightly: "She does have the bearing of a princess, not bad."
Princess Rong's face turned slightly green.
"You're going to the racecourse?"
"Princess Rong is very disdainful of the fact that this junior is not good at riding and shooting." Yun Zishu said calmly, "This junior wants to prove himself to avoid being looked down upon by others."
"How is your riding skill?"
Yun Zishu said: "You shouldn't fall off the horse."
