Chapter 497 Playing Polo
Qin Huiyin stood in front of the window, watching the people coming and going.
I haven't seen Song Ruize or anyone from the military department today, and I don't know what he is busy with.
However, he is now in charge of the entire Bingmasi and is no longer restricted to the East City as before. Of course, he is even harder to see.
Zhilan came in with the invitation and said to Qin Huiyin, "It's from the Zhu family."
"Zhu family?" Qin Huiyin took it and looked at the name Zhu Hongxiu written on the post, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
Ever since she rejected the Zhu family's marriage proposal, they haven't sent her any invitations. Not only that, other noble ladies haven't approached her for any activities either.
She actually enjoyed the peace and quiet; after all, dealing with them all the time was tiring. In comparison, making money was more fulfilling.
"Horse racing farm?" Qin Huiyin remembered what Song Ruize had said before. It seemed that the prince asked him to play polo today.
Princess Minghua had taken the initiative to approach him, and he had arranged to meet the prince on the day he played polo. Now that the noble lady was going to the racecourse, it must be related to Princess Minghua.
The Lady of Minghua County was too embarrassed to join the crowd of men alone, so she had to find a few female relatives to accompany her. However, she had no personal relationship with the Lady of Minghua County, so she probably wouldn't be chosen by her. This invitation was from Zhu Hongxiu, but I didn't know why she was called over.
Zhu Jingxuan is already married to Gong Qianyue and won't be targeting her anymore. There's no need for the Zhu family to bring her along.
"Miss, how do you reply?"
"What else can we do in this situation? Of course we have to go." Qin Huiyin said, "Just tell them I will be there on time."
There was still an hour left until the time indicated above, meaning this post was sent to her on short notice. In that case, let's go to the Hongmen Feast.
At the entrance to the horse farm. Qin Huiyin had just gotten out of the carriage when she saw several young masters from aristocratic families arriving on horseback. They rode very fast and rushed straight towards her. Before Qin Huiyin even landed, their rush startled her horse, which kicked her hard. She dodged in time and fell to the side.
One man jumped off his horse and was about to hug her, but another man rushed over first, wrapped the long whip in his hand around her waist and lifted her up.
Qin Huiyin turned around a few times, and the man held her shoulders to steady her body.
Qin Huiyin only felt stars in her eyes.
dizzy.
The man who had failed looked at Song Ruize with dissatisfaction, who had ruined his plan.
"How is it?" Song Ruize asked in a low voice.
Only then did Qin Huiyin see clearly who the visitor was.
"It's okay." She slowed down and turned to look at the person opposite her. She felt that the person looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.
"He's the legitimate son of the second branch of the Zhu family, the third child in the family, and Zhu Jingxuan's cousin," Song Ruize said. "He has a close personal relationship with Jiang Yunzhou, the heir of the Anping Marquis's mansion."
Just a few words reveal a lot of information.
Qin Huiyin understood that the other party had come with ill intentions.
Although she didn't see who deliberately startled her carriage just now, it was not difficult to guess that it was him.
In broad daylight, he deliberately startled her carriage, then acted like a hero saving the beauty, and ruined her reputation.
She didn't believe this man had taken a fancy to her; he was deliberately trying to ruin her reputation. He was either venting his anger on behalf of his cousin, or on behalf of his childhood friend, or perhaps both. In short, he had no good intentions.
Could it be that the Zhu family posted this because of him? If that was the case, this family was truly disgusting.
"Commander Song is truly agile!" Zhu Jingcheng said sarcastically, "He came to the rescue right after arriving."
Zhu Jingcheng was accompanied by several young masters from aristocratic families. Some of them had seen Qin Huiyin before, while others were meeting her for the first time.
"Whose lady is this? She's so lovely. I've never seen her before."
"Minister of Works Tang Yichen knows about this, right? His stepsister."
"Tang... is the one who rejected the marriage proposal from Prince Zhong's Mansion?"
Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Qin Huiyin.
"I said... my stepsister is not my biological sister. This Tang guy doesn't even look down on the royal ladies. Could it be because he has a beautiful daughter at home...ah..."
The person who was speaking felt pain in his knee and fell to the ground.
"Brother Li, are you okay?"
"Who? Who plotted against me?" The man surnamed Li got up, rubbed his aching knee, and looked around sharply.
The Crown Prince and the King of Wei arrived on horseback. Seeing them, the crowd hurriedly bowed to them, not wanting to cause any more trouble.
"What are you all doing here at the door?" King Wei said with a smile, "Let's go inside and play."
King Wei's gaze swept in the direction of Qin Huiyin, and when he saw Qin Huiyin and Song Ruize standing so close, a deep meaning flashed in his eyes.
No one dared to cause trouble in the food court, not because Miss Qin was lucky, but because she had someone protecting her. He had sent people to investigate, and found that there were two forces protecting her: the military and the assassination organization. This Miss Qin was truly a fascinating person, even more unpredictable than her stepbrother.
Song Ruize stood in front of Qin Huiyin, and the prince didn't pay attention to her. As soon as the prince entered, the others followed behind him.
The King of Wei walked last and stopped in front of Qin Huiyin. He said, "Miss Qin, how is your brother's injury?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Qin Huiyin said, "Brother, he still needs to rest for a while."
"Really? When the Emperor asked about his injuries, I said he had almost recovered and that there would be no problem returning to the Ministry of Works. Since..."
"Your Highness, although you need to rest, your injuries are not serious. It will be no problem for you to rest when you return to the Ministry of Works." Qin Huiyin said, bowing, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kind words on my brother's behalf."
"I'm speaking well of your brother, and Miss Qin must also speak well of me!" King Wei said with a smile, "Recently, I've upset Miss Xia, and I haven't seen her in the past few days. Please help me put in some good words for her so that she can calm down quickly."
Qin Huiyin: "..."
After the King of Wei finished speaking, he smiled at Song Ruize and said, "Master Song, would you like to go together?"
Song Ruize made a gesture of invitation: "Your Highness, please."
After the two left, Qin Huiyin had no time to digest the news she had just heard before she saw Zhu Hongxiu and Gong Qianyue's convoy arrived.
"Sister Qin, long time no see." Gong Qianyue was dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking more dignified and majestic than before.
Qin Huiyin said, "Sister Gong, it's been a while since I last saw you."
Zhu Hongxiu said calmly: "Go in!"
Zhu Hongxiu became much colder towards Qin Huiyin and was too lazy to even maintain a superficial disguise.
Gong Qianyue is different. She never trips others up in front of them. Even if she is extremely angry, she will always have a gentle smile on her face.
Other ladies arrived one after another.
When Lady Minghua arrived, everyone bowed to her.
Lady Minghua hurried in and said to everyone, "Don't keep His Highness and the others waiting. Let's go in first."
