Chapter 413 Overshadowed
She is such a coward that she doesn't even dare to look at him openly, and yet she still dreams of marrying into the general's mansion? !
"Ning'an, look, Ajian won a ball."
Ning An's attention was instantly brought back to the scene by Qi Rui.
Following the sound of gongs and drums, Ning An shook a copper bell to add to the atmosphere and cheered for Qi Jian.
"Well done, well done, come on, Ajian~" Qi Rui led the leader to cheer for Qi Jian.
As the atmosphere group, Qi Xu and Ning An were lying on the guardrail, jumping and dancing. It can be seen that they were very excited.
"Come on, Third Brother~"
"Third cousin, you are really awesome~"
"At this rate, Ajian will definitely take the lead."
"Hahaha, I said that my third cousin is amazing. He has only been on the court for a short time, but he has already scored one goal after another, beating all the young masters from noble families."
Ning An giggled and was quite proud.
"That's right! Ah Jian is a martial artist, his physical strength and endurance are better than theirs, and he is also very flexible. Even if several people surround him, they can't stop him."
A few people looked over and saw Qi Jian running forward in the field, with three or four people surrounding him from all sides.
"Humph, seeing how powerful my third cousin is, they ganged up on him to bully him. I'll skin them alive!"
Ning An pulled out the long whip from his waist, swung it, and made a whip flower in the air.
"Don't worry, they can't stop Ajian at all."
Before Qi Rui could finish his words, Qi Jian used the Eagle Spreading Wings move, and the ball went straight into the hoop...
"Hahaha, third cousin scored again, so awesome!"
When one family is happy, several others are sad.
Princess Qi Ruining'an was immersed in a joyful atmosphere, but the people behind her were not so happy.
Because the jade hairpin that is about to be obtained is about to fly away.
But the person who came was Princess Ning'an, so they dared not say anything despite being angry, especially since the young master of General Qi's mansion was also nearby.
There were three of them at this time, and they were all well-known figures in Kyoto.
It is rare to see it on weekdays. This is the first time I have such close contact as today, and it was under the same awning.
So some brave girls came forward to talk to him.
"Hearing is believing. Rushuang often hears my father mention the great achievements of the Second Young Master, and I really admire him."
Qi Rui looked at the strange girl in front of him, his mind in turmoil.
"Miss, please stand up. I wonder if my father is..."
Qi Rui looked at the delicate girl in front of him and couldn't tell who she was.
Liu Rushuang raised her eyelids slightly and answered like a willow swaying in the wind.
"My father, Master Liu, was born with a weak body and was pampered at home, so I have never seen him."
After hearing what she said, Qi Rui thought of a shrewd and capable old man in his mind. It turned out that this was his daughter.
"I remember now. Master Liu is a very elegant and graceful lady. I didn't expect his daughter is also very pure and graceful."
Hearing Qi Rui praising her like this, Liu Rushuang laughed, "Thank you for the praise, Second Young Master. It is Rushuang's blessing to be favored by you."
Seeing the two of them chatting back and forth, Ning An next to them became a little impatient.
"Alright, alright, if you keep talking the game will be over soon. Second cousin, hurry up and watch the game!"
Ning An grabbed Qi Rui's arm and pulled him to the side, putting some distance between him and Liu Rushuang.
Liu Rushuang wanted to speak again, but she no longer had the chance.
But thinking back to what happened just now, I'm sure Mr. Qi will remember her.
After all, every posture and every look she had just used were designed by her after a long time, and they all showed her most beautiful side.
Qi Rui smiled and let Ning An pull him aside. He originally wanted to let the girl named Liu sit back. Seeing her fragile appearance, he was afraid that she would faint on his tea table.
"Second cousin, don't be mesmerized by her delicate appearance. She is definitely pretending. She is really a big white lotus, even more pretentious than the white lotuses in the imperial garden! Humph, she is a little naive to pretend to be weak in front of me."
She was a legitimate princess who grew up in the palace, and these were all left over from the concubines vying for favor.
"Don't worry, it won't happen. Let's just watch the game."
Ever since Qi Jian came on the court, the gap in this round became wider and wider, and it soon came to an end.
A long whistle was blown, and the Cuju game officially ended.
Qi Jian won the first prize as he wished and obtained the jade hairpin.
He changed his clothes and strode forward carrying the wooden box.
He looked so proud and confident like a rooster that had won a fight.
"How is it? Third cousin is awesome, right?"
"Great, great, third cousin, put it on for me quickly so that the people behind me can see it. They will be so envious."
Hearing Ning An say this, Qi Jian opened the wooden box, took out the jade hairpin, selected a suitable hairpin and put it in.
"Not bad, very nice."
Qi Rui leaned over to take a look, "Tsk tsk, very beautiful, Ajian has done a great job this time."
"Cousin, you've completely eclipsed these noble ladies. You're so beautiful~"
Ning An's cheeks turned red when the three of them praised her, and she said shyly.
"Hehe, this is all thanks to my third cousin. This jade hairpin is so beautiful. When I return to the palace, I will definitely ask my mother to reward you well."
Qi Jian smiled and said, "Okay, I think we should pack up and go back. I've just checked, the prizes behind are not that good. It's getting late, so let's talk while walking."
Having gotten what he wanted, Ning An nodded obediently.
"Let's go, let's go back~" Then he pulled Qi Xu and ran away first.
"She's always making a fuss, and doesn't look like a lady at all."
Qi Jian hugged his shoulders and stared at the direction where Ning An and Qi Xu ran.
"Isn't this good? I think it's good. Ning An is a princess and we are her brothers. A princess should grow up without worries. If she is too sensible, it must be because we didn't protect her well enough."
Qi Jian shook his ponytail and said, "Oh~ I'm not saying this is bad. You know the Queen always complains about her. I'm just afraid that she will be scolded."
Qi Rui looked at him calmly, his eyes full of "I understand~I understand~".
Seeing his brother looking at him like that, Qi Jian felt a little embarrassed.
"Hurry up and leave. When have you ever been so sluggish like a woman? You never acted like this when we were at the border before."
"Come on, come on. I just looked at you a few more times. Is it that serious? I think you've become more and more handsome recently. Ning An even praised you just now."
Qi Rui took two steps forward and put his arm on Qi Jian's shoulder.
"Really? I'm afraid that I might scare her."
"How could that be? She said you are so handsome that you almost outshine me."
"Did Ning An really say that?"
"Then it's fake? Why would I lie to you?"
Qi Jian smoothed his ponytail, feeling a little embarrassed.
