The wealthy nobles in Bianjing received an invitation, and the empress would hold a horse meeting, at which time valuables would be presented as rewards to the polo winners.

On the day of the Jockey Club, the noble ladies all dressed up dazzlingly to participate in this grand event.Minglan was dragged by her elder sister Hua Lan to the horse race. Hua Lan said with a smile: "I heard that this horse race was held by Gu Tingye under the guidance of the empress. The empress doesn't like to join in the fun, but she was persuaded. This Gu Tingye's face is really too great, sixth sister, you are blessed!"

Ming Lan frowned and looked at Hua Lan: "Big Sister, I don't want to marry Second Uncle Gu!"

Hua Lan froze for a moment, frowned, and was about to speak, but heard Gu Tingye's voice: "Sixth sister is so merciless! This really makes me unwilling!"

Ming Lan moved her mouth, but looking at Gu Tingye's seemingly calm face but slightly flushed eyes, she couldn't speak for a while.

Gu Tingye paused, and then said: "I have something to say to my younger sister, can I take a step to talk?"

Minglan glanced at Hualan, nodded after signaling to Hualan, took Xiaotao and Danju and followed Gu Tingye to the grove behind the racecourse, Gu Tingye stared at Minglan: "Today's race meeting, I will talk to Yuan Ruo Try polo, if he wins, I will give up on you! I just want to tell you that I have tried my best, just because I have admired you for a long time, and I only hope to bring the delicate flowers into my arms, so don't hate me! "

Minglan shook her head: "Grandma asked me how I felt about you before, and I said that I was full of joy at first, but there was a person who was willing to work hard to marry me, and I was at a loss for being nice to me, and then I got a little angry, yours If the plan goes wrong, the reputation of our Sheng family may be ruined. I am moved, grateful, and at a loss for you, but I am ruthless. I don't hate you, I don't blame you, no matter what the result is, I will I want to say thank you, thank you for your kindness to me. I'll go back first!" After speaking, he turned his head and left.

Gu Tingye looked at her leaving figure and murmured: "I put you in a dilemma because of my own selfish desires, but you are still grateful to me!" Enter the racecourse.

Qi Heng came to the racecourse, looked around, saw Ming Lan leading the maid to a corner, and couldn't help but want to pursue it, but was stopped by Gu Tingye who had just entered the racecourse: "Yuan Ruo, let's start!"

Qi Heng looked at Minglan, then at Gu Tingye, with a firm look in his eyes: "I hope Second Uncle will keep his word!"

The polo game started under the auspices of the queen, and the two sides fought each other, but for a while it was stalemate, with no winner.Ming Lan watched Qi Heng being knocked away by Gu Tingye time and time again, but immediately chased after him on the horse, and couldn't help but clenched her handkerchief tightly.

"Cut, attracting bees and butterflies!" Mo Lan glanced at Ming Lan and muttered.

Marquis Marquis Dingyuan glanced at Mo Lan with a half-smile, "Some people calculate everything, but everything comes to nothing, ha ha!"

Mo Lan gripped the veil tightly, but didn't say anything after all.

The incense sticks were almost burnt out, but the stalemate race on the racecourse was gradually winning or losing. Gu Tingye didn't know why he was almost knocked off the horse by Qi Heng, and missed the opportunity. Qi Heng seized the opportunity and scored a goal. Burned out, Qi Heng won.

Qi Heng was riding a horse, turned his head to meet Minglan's gaze, and smiled brightly, as if a beam of light broke through the haze in Minglan's heart, making her happy, and the pain of the past seemed to have faded a bit.

Qi Heng dismounted and walked towards Gu Tingye: "Thank you, Second Uncle!"

Gu Tingye pretended to be free and easy, and waved his hands: "There is nothing to thank for this, the skills are not as good as others! I will go to the palace and report to the Holy Majesty to cancel the engagement."

Qi Heng couldn't help being overjoyed: "Thank you, Second Uncle, for making it happen!"

Zhao Zongquan sat on the main seat, squinted at Gu Tingye who was kneeling on the ground, and was a little displeased: "Why, you rascal, do you want to take back what I said? The water that was thrown out by the words that were said, the whole city of Bianjing Knowing that you are going to marry the prostitute daughter of the Sheng family, how can you let the daughter of the Sheng family deal with herself?"

Gu Tingye said respectfully: "The boy has nothing to say, which caused His Majesty to go back on his word. It's just that I had a woman in a concubine before. When she learned that I was going to marry the prostitute of the Sheng family, she hadn't eaten or drank for several days. I am really helpless." !"

Zhao Zongquan waved his hand: "Forget it, don't lie to me. This Xiaoliu of the Sheng family was the one who sent the soldier talisman and the blood sign at that time? Is it because your daughter doesn't want you to marry or is it for other reasons?"

Gu Tingye bowed his head: "Please let the officials pamper me one more time!"

Zhao Zongquan raised his chin: "Forget it, you go out, I'll let the eunuch go to Sheng Mansion."

Gu Tingye nodded gratefully, and bowed out of the hall.

Qi Heng excitedly returned to Duke Qi's mansion, and found Princess Pingning: "Mother, Second Uncle Gu agreed to cancel the engagement, so go to Sheng Mansion to propose marriage!"

Princess Pingning held Qi Heng's hand: "Really? Don't be in a hurry, the officials haven't officially notified me yet, so I'll let people pay attention to the movement of the Sheng Mansion. Once the officials announce the matter, my mother will go to propose marriage for you !"

Qi Heng held Princess Pingning tightly, as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Mother, please!"

When the eunuch arrived at Sheng's mansion, Sheng Hong was sitting at the old lady Sheng's place talking, when he received a report from his servants, he hurried to the front hall, the eunuch smiled and said, "Master Sheng, the official has something to convey!"

Sheng Hong followed Wang Ruofu, and the old lady of the Sheng family knelt down to wait for the edict. As she listened, Sheng Hong's face darkened. After the eunuch finished speaking, the Sheng Hong family stood up and sent the eunuch out of the Sheng mansion respectfully.Turning around, Sheng Hong walked into the front hall angrily, and shouted: "Go and bring that damn girl Minglan here!"

Wang Ruofu glanced at the old lady Sheng, and found that there was nothing unusual about her face, and seeing that Sheng Hong was so angry, he sat silently, gloating in his heart.

Ming Lan seemed to have been prepared for a long time. After receiving the notice from her servants, she came to the front hall very calmly.When Sheng Hong saw him, he was furious, and stared at her with his beard blowing: "Nie Zi, kneel down!"

With a calm face, Ming Lan knelt down.Sheng Hong scolded: "I thought you were always polite and decent, what did you do to have people divorce you? You can do such a shameful thing? Huh?"

Minglan remained silent, old lady Sheng was drinking tea, and just when Sheng Hong was about to call for someone to walk with a ruler and stick, the servants came to report again: "Princess Pingning of Duke Qi's Mansion is here to visit!"

Sheng Hong was a little confused, but Princess Pingning's status was not something they could neglect, so he waved his hand: "Take this girl to kneel in the ancestral hall, and she can't be released without my order! Please come in, Princess Pingning!"

Wang Ruofu understood somewhat, curled his lips, the little father-in-law was infatuated with this girl Minglan, and a person as proud as Princess Pingning came to ask for marriage over and over again.

Princess Pingning entered the front hall, and was a little surprised that Sheng Hong and Mrs. Sheng were also there. She was a little embarrassed, but she walked slowly into the front hall with an attitude, and smiled reservedly at everyone: "The purpose of my coming must be Mrs. Sheng. Madam and eldest lady already understand." After that, she laughed at herself: "Before, my short eyelids caused Yuan Ruo to miss Minglan, a good girl, but now that Yuan Ruo is on the exam list, he can be regarded as a successful career. Now I have the cheek to beg Yuan Ruo to marry Ming Lan." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head slightly.

The old lady Sheng said: "My Ming'er has been raised by my side since childhood, and she has been sensible and courteous since she was a child. Although we are the concubine daughters of a small family and we are high on your Qi mansion, I still want a promise from Princess Pingning!"

Although Sheng Hong was a little puzzled, he would not dismantle his aunt's stage at this time, but just sat on the side and drank tea silently.

Princess Pingning seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and nodded in agreement.

Old Mrs. Sheng: "We know that a girl must be a big lady, and the young man is not allowed to take a concubine within ten years!"

Princess Pingning breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's natural, please rest assured, Mrs. Sheng!"

The old lady Sheng looked at Wang Ruofu and Sheng Hong: "Do you have any opinions, Madam and Hong'er?"

Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu looked at each other, with a smile on their faces: "How could it be, it is really very lucky to be able to marry the young man tomorrow, thank you Princess Pingning for being able to see us tomorrow Son. We Minger have been educated since we were young, gentle and demure, and we will definitely be a good daughter-in-law."

Princess Pingning said with a smile: "It's natural. I think it's better to hit the sun if we choose a date. When I came, someone brought the dowry gift. Let's just agree on an auspicious date!"

Qi Heng anxiously waited for his mother. After waiting for a long time, he finally saw his mother come back. He hurriedly stepped forward to grab Princess Pingning's arm, and looked at her nervously: "Mom, how are you?"

Princess Pingning smiled and supported Qi Heng's hand: "It's done!"

Qi Heng looked at Princess Pingning fixedly, as if confirming but also as if unbelievable, surprised and delighted, his eyes were red, and his words were choked with sobs: "Mother, really? Sixth Sister is engaged?" Seeing Princess Pingning nodding, she suddenly smiled, as dazzling as the rising sun.

Qi Heng couldn't wait to see Minglan, thanked his mother again and wanted to go to see Minglan, but was stopped by Princess Pingning, and said: "Look at your impatience, you have officially married, you hand over the greeting card It's not too late to go."

Qi Heng stopped in his tracks, a little ashamed: "Mother, what you said is true, I'll send the invitation card right away!"

Since the death of Wuwei, Princess Pingning has never seen such a lively expression on Qi Heng's face, and he breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that it is the most correct decision to let go of this face and help Qi Heng win this marriage , The gap between their mother and child can finally be filled.

Minglan had already been called out of the ancestral hall by Sheng Hong, and was staying in the main room of Mrs. Sheng talking with Mrs. Sheng when Xiaotao walked in, with a narrow smile on her face, leaned over to Mrs. Sheng, and looked at Ming Lan: "Old lady, young lady, the young man handed over the greeting card and wants to come and see you!"

Ming Lan's pretty face was dyed with flying clouds, and seeing Old Madam Sheng looking at her narrowly, she said angrily, "Grandmother, why are you making fun of me!"

Old Madam Sheng nodded Minglan's nose: "Let your grandmother and I be the middleman, let's meet each other!"
