Chapter 405 Shock
"Hey, is there something wrong with Miss Zhang's horse?" someone among the young masters of the aristocratic family said.
The King of Wei frowned. "That's true. The horse looks like it's drunk, staggering from side to side."
Miss Zhang was running behind Qin Huiyin. Now her horse was out of control, which affected Qin Huiyin in front of her.
The other ladies kept their distance from her, as if they knew something might happen to her horse. Qin Huiyin ran fast, right in front, completely unaware of the danger behind her.
Originally, Qin Huiyin was in third place, ahead of Princess Yuanying and Cui Lingyao, but now she is in seventh place.
She also noticed something was wrong and tried her best to avoid Miss Zhang. But the weird part was that Miss Zhang kept chasing her.
A cruel look flashed in Qin Huiyin's eyes.
Making small moves while riding a horse is no different from killing someone. This man was so calm, obviously he had expected his horse to behave like this. He was probably another lackey of Princess Yuanying.
Qin Huiyin took out a piece of silver from her bosom and threw it behind her.
The horse cried miserably in pain, raised its hooves and jumped up, causing Miss Zhang to fall off its back and roll several times.
"Ah..." The noble lady behind saw the sudden change and hurriedly pulled the reins.
They had to stop.
The seven people in front had already run away. After the servants beside them carried Miss Zhang away, the other ladies continued on their way. But after this interruption, their interest had already faded. If it weren't for the prize, they would have stopped and returned to the rest area.
Qin Huiyin is very angry now.
She thought about the method Song Ruize taught her, adjusted her posture, waved the whip, and drove the horse forward.
Princess Yuanying looked back and saw Qin Huiyin rushing towards her with a gloomy expression.
She took out a nail from her arms and was about to throw it in Qin Huiyin's direction, but she saw Qin Huiyin riding the horse and flying up, striding over her head with both horse and person.
She rushed to the first place.
Princess Yuanying said angrily, "Damn it."
Cui Lingyao's face also looked unhappy.
This is the last lap.
Princess Yuanying came in second, and Cui Lingyao came in third.
After stopping, Princess Yuanying looked in the direction of Qin Huiyin, her eyes full of unwillingness.
At the beginning, I didn't want to do it too obviously, so I didn't do anything in the first few rounds. I thought I would do it in the last round so that it would not be easily discovered. I didn't expect her to escape.
"Congratulations, Miss Qin." The prince looked at Qin Huiyin with a smile, "As expected of you, you are Master Tang's sister. You are truly extraordinary."
"Your Highness, I am too kind. I am not even one ten-thousandth as good as you, my brother." Qin Huiyin responded in a proper manner.
"You are the first one, according to the rules you should choose first. Right? Yuanying." The prince looked at Princess Yuanying.
As the master of the Eastern Palace, he understood the situation just now. The look in his eyes when he looked at Princess Yuanying was full of warning.
Tang Yichen was the person he wanted to win over. If his plan was ruined by the selfishness of these little girls, she would die miserably.
Princess Yuanying received the signal from the prince, her face turned pale and her eyes were full of guilt.
"That was a close call." Princess Yuanying was unwilling to give in, but she could only act at this moment. "Miss Qin, are you okay?"
Qin Huiyin smiled faintly: "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I'm fine. Is that young lady okay? Her horse seems to be a little unwell. We need to check it out."
"I guess the servants at the stable didn't take good care of it and gave Miss Zhang a sick horse. Luckily, she's fine, and you're fine too. Otherwise, I would have taught those dog servants a lesson."
Qin Huiyin said calmly: "Since everything is fine, there is no need to pursue this matter."
Anyway, if we continue to investigate, the one who will suffer is an innocent person who takes the blame.
"Miss Qin is really magnanimous."
"It's not easy for the slaves at the horse farm. If they suffer this disaster because of their poor care, it would be heartbreaking."
"Miss Qin, it's your turn to choose." The prince reminded.
He watched Qin Huiyin's movements.
Among all the prizes, his jade pendant stood out. How could any woman not be tempted? Now that she had won first place, it was perfectly legitimate for her to take the jade pendant.
Qin Huiyin looked at the things on the plate, picked up her own hairpin first, then took back Song Ruize and Tang Yichen's jade pendants, and for the remaining two items, she picked up the two most inconspicuous pieces of jewelry.
"Hey, Miss Qin, isn't my jade pendant good enough? Isn't the Crown Prince's jade pendant good enough?" King Wei was unhappy.
Qin Huiyin said, "It is precisely because the jade pendants from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Prince are so good. I am a woman of little fortune and cannot afford such a precious gift."
The second place was Princess Yuanying. She chose the jade pendant of King Wei and the other two pieces that were slightly more attractive, and avoided the jade pendant of the crown prince.
The prince's jade pendant was, of course, the finest, but anyone with a bit of common sense knew it wasn't something anyone could possess. She was the prince's cousin, and if she wanted, she could become the crown princess. However, she had no interest in the prince, let alone that position. As a princess, she could choose any man she pleased. Becoming the crown princess would only mean she was one of the concubines in the harem.
She is already a favored child of heaven, there is no need for her to do anything extra.
Cui Lingyao chose the prince's jade pendant. As she took the jade pendant, she looked at the prince with a shy look on her face.
The prince's smile was faint.
As the third place winner, she can get another one.
She picked out a jade flute.
The remaining ladies picked the prizes they wanted one by one and then dispersed, without joining the prince's party.
"The ladies are here today, and we have people cheering for us. Why don't we play a game of Cuju?" the Crown Prince said. "Lord Tang, Commander Song, since this is your first time here, you can choose whether to play with me or the King of Wei. The others are all old acquaintances of me and the King of Wei, and we've already divided the teams into teams for Cuju."
"Your Highness is joking. I will only obey your orders. Your Highness wants me to go to the King of Wei as an insider, and I am willing to take the risk even if it means being beaten into a pig's head."
"Your Highness, listen to what he said. I will not keep him." King Wei said, "I want Song to command."
"The more you don't want it, the more I want to give it to you. Lord Tang, you follow the King of Wei. Lord Song, you follow me."
"Yes." They said in unison.
"Miss Qin, you and the other ladies should go to the observation deck over there!" said the prince.
"Yes."
After the prince and the others left, Chang Xiaohuan came over and said, "That was really thrilling just now. I'm so glad you're okay."
Gong Qianyue and Zhu Hongxiu also came over.
I just said that the last few sentences would be punished, but no one has mentioned it so far. It can be seen that the punishment for the last few sentences is aimed at her.
If she hadn't been one of the last few, this condition wouldn't have been necessary.
