The nine princesses of the East Palace

Because of the matter of avoiding the fire map, I felt embarrassed when I thought of Li Chengyin. I didn't want to see him at all, so I asked for leave and didn't go to the library to study. But after learning the rules with Fang Shangyi for another two days, I still feel more comfortable going to the library One thing, it's been two days anyway, Li Chengyin probably doesn't remember the thing about the fire avoidance map.

When I went to the library, the doorman already recognized me and didn't stop me. I turned around, but I didn't see Li Chengyin, and neither did Shi En.

"Is His Royal Highness not coming today?" I found the steward in the library and asked.

The steward said: "Back to the princess, Your Highness is going to participate in the Cuju competition today, and will come later."

Cuju competition?I suddenly remembered that when Li Chengyin sent me back that day, he mentioned it several times and wanted me to watch it, but later I followed Yongning and Luoxi out of the palace, so I forgot about it.

I asked the steward again, and found out that the Cuju competition was held in the open space in front of the royal garden hunting ground, so I hurried over there.

I didn't know the way, so I asked as I walked, and I found the place after walking for a long time. There were guards at the scene, and they didn't know me, so they wouldn't let me in. I forgot to ask the Empress Dowager that day, so I didn't have her letter. Just wandering outside.

After wandering around for about a quarter of an hour, I saw Shi En, "Shi En, Shi En, can you tell them to let me in?"

When Shi En saw me, it was like seeing a great savior, and said: "Princess, you are here, come in quickly with the servant."

Those guards recognized him, so they won't stop me now.

"Shi Eun, how's the game going?" I asked as I walked.

Shi Eun said: "It's good, but Your Highness doesn't look very happy."

"Why isn't he happy?" I heard from Yongning that he is good at Cuju, and he has to compete with those noble sons once or twice every year, and he almost never loses.

Shi En hesitated for a while, then slowly said: "Probably because I haven't seen the princess."

"I...I got up late today." I said.I don't want to say that I forgot about this matter, otherwise Li Chengyin will probably be very angry, he has a strange temper, he ignores me when he gets angry, he ignores me who will teach me how to write?

Shi En was a little stunned, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the princess will be coaxed for a while, and nothing will happen."

Coax him?How do I know how to coax?

I am so worried.

There were bursts of applause from the front, and there were quite a lot of people who came to see Cuju. I glanced over, and there were not many people I knew. Except for Yongning and Luo Xi, the only one I knew was Zhao Sesel.

I'm not familiar with Zhao Sese, so I went to Yongning and the others.

"Xiaofeng, why did you come here? Brother Wu has already looked this way for several times, but he didn't see you, his face is so cold." Yongning pulled me over and whispered in my ear.

From a distance, I spotted Li Chengyin at a glance, he is taller than others, he looks very eye-catching on the court.Those in the team with him were all wearing red brocade jackets, while those in the other team were wearing green brocade jackets.

I didn't quite understand it. I just felt that the little ball seemed to listen to him very much. He kicked like this, and the opponent couldn't stop him.

Hearing everyone applaud and applaud, I also clapped my hands.I slapped it so hard that my palms turned red, since I applauded him so hard, Li Chengyin shouldn't be so stingy and angry with me because of my late arrival, right?

He seemed to see me, and I quickly forced a smile, but he only glanced at me, and then looked away, his face didn't seem to change for the better.

Yongning suddenly said: "Xiaofeng, just now the opponent scored a goal, what are you applauding for?"

I lowered my head to look at my red palm, and said with a dry smile, "I... treat everyone equally."

No matter which side scored next, I stopped applauding, so as not to mistake the target again.

This Cuju competition ended soon, Li Chengyin's team won, but he also had a straight face after winning the game, as if he was not close to strangers, of course I didn't dare to approach, Seeing that Yongning and the others were going to leave, I followed in a desperate manner.

Luo Xi asked me: "Xiao Feng, I heard that you have caught wind and cold for the past two days, how are you doing now?"

"It's nothing serious. I drank a bowl of ginger soup and woke up and I'll be fine." When I came back from rowing that day, I did catch a cold. I thought it was going to be uncomfortable for a few more days, but unexpectedly I got better so soon.

Luo Xi said: "That's good, the winter in Shanghai is very cold, you may not be used to it when you first come."

"It was a little bit at first, but it's much better now." At the beginning, I didn't speak the Central Plains dialect very well, and it was very difficult to communicate with Yong Niang, but now I can speak the Central Plains dialect.

After walking for a while, I originally wanted to go back to the library, but Yongning stopped me, "Xiaofeng, Luo Xi and I are going to soak in the soup pool, you can come with us, the weather is so cold, just to go to the cold .”

I know about soaking in hot springs, just soaking in warm pools. It is said that it can cure diseases and prolong life. Going for a soak in winter is not to mention how pleasant it is.

"Okay." I happily replied.

I followed them for a short distance, and turned into a pool forest. There were many large and small warm pools inside, all of which were steaming, and looked warm.

I looked a few more times, went to change clothes and came out, but I couldn't find Yongning and Luoxi.I searched for several pools, but I didn't see them.

I walked all the way, and finally saw a big pool in the middle of the bushes in front of me. There were two people soaking in the soup pool, both wearing white single clothes. Luo Xi has no doubts.

I walked lightly, leaned forward quietly, and blindfolded one of them, "Guess who I am?"

My words fell silent for a long time, but no one answered.This seems to be something is not quite right.

As I thought about it, I caught a glimpse of Pei Zhao who was opposite me, and the person I covered...could be Li Chengyin.

I wanted to let go and walk away, but he grabbed my hand and pulled me into the pool.

I let out an exclamation.

"Azhao, you leave first." Li Chengyin blocked me and said to Pei Zhao.

Pei Zhao quickly got up and left.Only Li Chengyin and I were left in the pool.He was still holding my hand, and I couldn't move it.It was so warm in the pool that I was sweating from the steam.

After a while, Li Chengyin let go of me, and I quickly moved away from him.

"Why don't you come to see my Cuju today?" He pursed his lips, his voice was cold.

"I got up late." I was a little timid at the moment, not daring to pluck the hair off the tiger's head, so I repeated what I said to Shi En.

"Are you up late?"

"Yeah, it's just getting up late."

"You just lied to Shi En, when Yong Niang wakes you up on time?"

"I... I didn't want to lie to you, I just forgot, and I said this because I was afraid you would get angry." I said, "Besides, didn't I go later?"

I thought his mood would ease a little when I said this, but his face turned even worse, "Well, you applaud my opponent, I can see it."

After saying that, he got up, stepped out of the pool, and left without looking back.
