Qian Sui laughed, "We're playing polo today, competing in a horse race, why are you dragging a girl into this? Or are you unable to stand losing, so you're dragging someone else into this to persuade me to give up?"

Wang Ping was speechless. He walked away pulling the reins, wielding a short whip and circling the field, causing the girls to look up frequently.

Wave after wave of people couldn't resist the urge to compete and came up one by one. Even if they couldn't catch the eyes of the girl from the Ji family, it was a rare opportunity to make other beauties smile.

The players were sweating profusely in the first half. Just as the game was going on, a few lonely figures came over. Before they got close, they could see the horses' tails flying in the air from afar. A few young men were riding horses and chasing the red hydrangea on the horse field.

Xiao Qi stared at the figures of those people. If the master wanted to deal with the noble family, he didn't have to come to the horse farm in person. He could just tell them to come.

Ah San looked around the field and didn't see Miss Ji. "Master, maybe the girl didn't come..."

Ning Rongzhang said, "I am in the mood to play polo today, but I didn't say who I'm looking for."

Ah San: Come on, he is the one who talks too much.

Ji Mengshu was sitting not too far away, as if he was hiding himself, just watching the fun.

Until an exceptionally stern figure stepped into the field.

"Girl, why don't you think about what to ask the prince for..."

Ji Mengshu was stunned and thought he had seen it wrong. He stared at the figure and rubbed his eyes. Then he pointed at him and asked Qingzhu, "Look...do you think that person is the regent?"

Qingzhu squinted and looked at him, "Girl, it seems to be the prince..."

What is he here to do?

Not only Ji Mengshu had doubts, but everyone present also had doubts... The Regent was busier than the Emperor, what was he doing here? Was he here to relax because he was in a good mood?

Jiang's mother was naturally familiar with this figure, so she quickly sent someone to ask. The servant ran over and back, saying, "The prince said that the capital hasn't been so lively for a long time, and he came to take a look..."

As the man rode into the venue on horseback, his handsome face seemed to glow in the sunlight, attracting the attention of all the women in the venue to focus on him, which made Wang Ping feel much more frustrated.

"Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty?!"

Ning Rongzhang curled his lips and looked at the field from a distance. It was obviously a random glance, but he felt as if there was a thorn in his back and he was very uncomfortable all over.

"It's lively today, I'm here to take a look, everyone please enjoy yourself."

The hydrangea in Qian Sui's hand was thrown out suddenly. Several young men on the field competed fiercely. The red hydrangea flipped back and forth between the horse's hooves, up and down.

Wang Ping looked at the Regent with fear, not wanting to compete with him. However, all the women's eyes were glued to him, which made Wang Ping feel extremely embarrassed.

What would a regent who started a rebellion look like without the halo of his status and power?

He suddenly became very curious. Someone pushed him and said, "Brother Wang, what are you thinking about? Are you going to withdraw or not?"

Wang Ping waved his hand, "Why are you withdrawing? Don't you want to see how powerful the Regent is?"

The man shook his head. "I'd better forget it. The reason why the Regent came here is probably not because of the one from the Ji family. Brother Wang, you should think carefully about it."

Wang Ping sneered. Who cares who she is? A daughter of a ruined family, it was a favor for his family to take a liking to her. If she had an affair with the regent, he would let his mother take her as a concubine.

As arrogant as Wang Ping was, he was eventually slapped in the face.

As his thoughts turned back to his thoughts, Ning Rongzhang had already turned sideways and held the red hydrangea in his arms. The cigarette in front of him had already fallen out, and a piece of incense ash was falling down.

The servant in front shouted, "Time's up! The Regent wins!"

Qian Sui pulled the reins and walked slowly towards the other side, "Your Majesty's skills are really good..."

In fact, Ning Rongzhang had taken advantage of the situation. Qian Sui had been a civil official for generations, and he was a military commander, so he had to act like a good boy after gaining the upper hand over him. Hearing this, he bowed and said, "Master Qian is not bad either."

There are many kinds of aristocratic families. There are clean aristocratic families like Qian Sui, who although do not have much real power, have a high status. Then there are the other aristocratic families that hold important power in the court and are extremely important.

Jiang Mu, who was sitting on the top, could only laugh. Who knew that the Regent King also came here to join in the fun? Not only did he join in the fun, he also won the first prize.

Madam Wang from the General Protector's Mansion walked towards Madam Jiang holding a handkerchief. Madam Wang was born into a noble family and was followed by a large group of noble ladies all day long, some of whom came with Madam Wang.

Mother Jiang smiled with the corners of her lips pulled, "Madam Wang, look, how long has it been since we last met?"

Madam Wang was elegant and graceful. She sat down next to Jiang's mother and said, "That's true. After Prime Minister Ji retired from the court, he didn't meet our master often. But the friendship between our two families is still there. So... I came to take a look."

Jiang's mother was about to speak, but was interrupted by Madam Wang, "I think Miss Ji is a good woman, but she was engaged to the royal family before. We are willing but powerless..."

Mother Jiang thought to herself, you are really bringing up something that is not relevant.

"That's good, Miss Ji is now free again... I wonder what Madam thinks of my Ping'er?" Madam Wang pointed at the dusty man still standing on the horse farm. She looked down on him.

Jiang's mother was speechless and pushed it back calmly, "This matter of marriage depends on the children's wishes. I can't make the decision for them."

Mrs. Wang's face suddenly became much gloomier, and she spoke in a strange tone, "Your daughter has a lot of ideas. Girls from noble families are supposed to be well-mannered. Miss Ji, for example, has an ambiguous relationship with the regent... Now even your mother's words are no longer reliable. It's true that a grown-up girl cannot be controlled by her mother—"

She said this in a loud voice, and the women around her could hear it. Although they didn't say it in public, they still talked about it in private.

Discussing her daughter's innocence. Jiang's mother stood up suddenly, "What nonsense! The Regent and my Shu'er are innocent, but some people think that our Ji Mansion is not what it used to be, so they start to take advantage of the situation and say these nonsense?!"

"Oh, sister..." Mrs. Wang was surprised that Jiang's mother would be so angry, and hurriedly comforted her, "Sister, I was just talking nonsense, sister, please don't take it to heart. If the friendship between you and me is damaged by this, wouldn't it be a joke?"

Mother Jiang waved her sleeves. Shu'er had been close to the Prince Regent before, but that was just to protect their Ji family during the palace coup. Getting rid of Prince Wu would also save the official hats of so many people in Kyoto. These people, on the contrary, were talking about Shu'er because of this.

I didn't have much good feelings towards the Wang family to begin with, and now they are completely gone.
