Chapter 32: I met an interesting person.
Lu Yangyang was used to being straightforward, and because she thought the Crown Prince was a very good person, she said to him very generously, "If you need any help in the future, just come to me. I will do anything I can, even go through fire and water!"
"Do you even know what it means to go through fire and water? Don't talk nonsense." Sheng Yunjiao awkwardly pulled her aside, telling her not to exaggerate and make things worse.
“Of course I know. That’s what the bodyguards said when I was in the county. They’re the most loyal and capable people, and they go to a lot of places,” Lu Yangyang said.
Sheng Yunjiao was immediately led astray by her: "You know a bodyguard?"
Lu Yangyang nodded: "There was an uncle in the next village who was a镖师 (bodyguard/escort). He knew I was good at bone setting, so every time I came back from a镖师 trip, he would take me to their镖局 (bodyguard/escort agency) in the county to treat the injuries of the镖师. They were very generous and often told me stories about their镖师 trips. They would also bring me some snacks that could only be bought outside. I was so envious of them back then. I even asked the leader if I could go镖师 trips with them in the future, but they said I was too young and told me to wait a few years."
If she hadn't had that dream and decided to come to the capital, she might have actually become a bodyguard in two years!
After all, she was strong and had some skills, so the security company really liked her!
Lu Yangyang looked at him with admiration: "Then you almost became a bodyguard?"
Lu Yangyang said smugly, "Of course!"
The crown prince listened quietly to their conversation, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
Fortunately, Lu Yangyang still remembered him as a "good guy," and as if afraid he wouldn't believe her, she emphasized again: "I'm serious!"
"Alright, then if anything comes up in the future, I'll have someone come to find you." The Crown Prince said with a slight smile, then pointed to the stadium: "It's about to start, so I won't keep you from watching the game any longer. I have to go back now."
"Your Highness, we shall take our leave!" Sheng Yunjiao hurriedly pulled Lu Yangyang to say goodbye. This time, she didn't dawdle, afraid of running into the Sixth Princess and Cheng Shujin again who would cause trouble for no reason. She dragged Lu Yangyang to the seats that Yan Yue had arranged for them.
After the two ran away, the eunuch standing behind the crown prince spoke up, "Your Highness, it's been a long time since I've seen you so happy."
The Crown Prince suppressed his slight smile and looked in the direction Lu Yangyang had run off in, as if answering him, and also as answering himself, "Probably because I met an interesting person."
……
Lu Yangyang and Sheng Yunjiao ran to their seats, and as soon as they sat down, they heard the sound of a gong.
Looking down at the field, you can see that both teams are ready and waiting.
The first match didn't have Yan Yue's team, but it did have that annoying Fifth Prince.
This was the first time Lu Yangyang had ever seen a polo match. When she lived in the village, she had never even heard of polo. However, the village children would sometimes play with a ball made of bamboo strips.
However, the polo balls on the field were quite exquisite; they were actually colorful.
Lu Yangyang didn't understand, but she was greatly shocked.
Each side had six players. In the Fifth Prince's team, there was a dark-skinned, burly man who looked older than the others. He was very brave and his passing was very accurate. In just a short while after the game started, the Fifth Prince had already scored two goals and was completely dominating the opponent.
Sheng Yunjiao whispered to her from the side, "See that dark and strong guy? He's Cheng Shujin's third brother. Cheng Shujin just ran over saying she was going to complain. Don't let his old-looking appearance fool you, he's only sixteen. What's even more outrageous is that he and that Bai Lian from their family... Cheng Ruoxue, are twins. One is as black as charcoal, and the other is as white as snow. If the midwife hadn't sworn an oath, many people would have suspected that their children had been switched."
"But the result is that the third young master of Cheng is as strong as an ox, while the eldest young lady of Cheng is as frail as a willow in the wind, panting after walking three steps and looking sickly since she was a child."
"In short, I don't know if it's for this reason, but the twins don't like each other. As a result, the third young master Cheng gets along better with Cheng Shujin, while Cheng Ruoxue is the one who is isolated."
“He has been training in martial arts with General Cheng since he was a child, and he is far ahead of his peers. The Fifth Prince letting him participate in the competition is almost like cheating. Just wait and see. When the team is gradually replaced in the end, their team will most likely win the championship.”
Sheng Yunjiao's little mouth chattered away like a sparrow.
Lu Yangyang was genuinely shocked, and for the first time, she even felt curious about Sheng Yunjiao: "How do you know everything?"
Sheng Yunjiao was now smug: "What else? Let me tell you, there's absolutely no harm in you cooperating with me. I'm the know-it-all of Beijing. There's hardly any gossip in Beijing that I don't know. Not only that, I also know where to buy good food and fun things to do. If you flatter me a bit, I'll take you out to have fun!"
Lu Yangyang shamefully felt a tiny bit of attraction.
She has been in the capital for a while, but she has never had the chance to go out. In fact, today is the first time she has ever gone out.
Firstly, she wanted to seize the time to learn something.
Secondly, she was unfamiliar with the area and didn't want to spend money.
But she still longed for the capital, after all, she had come all this way not to hide in the Duke of Sheng's mansion.
However, it's clearly impossible for her to curry favor with Sheng Yunjiao!
"Next time you get injured, come to me and I won't charge you for the consultation. I keep my word." After thinking for a moment, Lu Yangyang decided to make a deal.
She charged ten taels of silver for treating Yan Yue last time. This time, setting Su Fengqu's bones will be more troublesome, but the mask that the Crown Prince gave her can make that Sixth Princess so envious, it must be very valuable!
Sheng Yunjiao moved a little further away from her in alarm: "Stop cursing me!"
Lu Yangyang looked completely innocent. She was serious; wasn't her consultation fee worth anything?
Lu Yangyang turned her face away and continued to look at the field. Sure enough, with that big guy Cheng San Gongzi there, the opposing team was almost completely dominated by them.
But suddenly, as if she had just remembered something: "I almost bumped into Su Fengqu on my horse just now. When I passed by them, I think I saw this Young Master Cheng!"
"Huh? What does this mean? Could it be that shameless Cheng Er went to complain to Young Master Cheng San, and Young Master Cheng San deliberately tampered with Su Fengqu's horse to frame you?" Sheng Yunjiao was most interested in gossip, and immediately started speculating about conspiracy theories.
Lu Yangyang shook her head: "I don't know about that. I only remember that he was indeed not far from that Young Master Su at the time. Because he looked so distinctive, I had a vague impression of him."
Lu Yangyang truly didn't understand the intricacies of these people's schemes. If they were to frame her over such a trivial matter, that would be truly terrifying. After all, if an accident occurred, that Young Master Su would either be dead or crippled, which was simply too outrageous.
Lu Yangyang was a little confused. She frowned, turned her head and glanced at Sheng Yunjiao, who was watching the arena with a wary expression. Well, she was indeed not very smart, but the one next to her was no less so.
"Ah—" At this moment, an unexpected change occurred on the field, and someone was violently thrown off his horse.
