Chapter 114: Meet Pei Ying Again
Chapter 114 Meet Pei Ying again
In the early morning, Changsun Yiyi, wearing riding boots and a fiery red tights, was loudly guiding the training of the candidate polo players.
"Rise the club a little higher, right! Just hit it out like this."

"Bastard! You'll understand if I say it a few times. You're playing polo, not picking up horse manure."
She was very busy and trained very hard, and almost forgot that she was a woman. If the soldiers weren't scared and jumped away, she would even teach people to play ball step by step.
"General, where is this polo strategist? I think she looks like a polo coach." In the stands, Li Hengqiu frowned and shook his head.
Zhang Huan glared at him fiercely, "Isn't this what you put in? Who made you trouble!"
Li Hengqiu scratched his head and said with a bitter face: "She said she was looking for you, she is Changsun Nanfang's daughter, I thought you..."
Seeing that Zhang Huan's face had sunk, he was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything else.
Changsun Yiyi's sudden appearance gave Zhang Huan a headache. Although Dongneiyuan is the base of Tianqi Camp, Changsun Yiyi did not enter the military camp. Moreover, her mother is the Li royal family, and she herself has the right to enter and exit Dongneiyuan. The key is that she promised to be a polo strategist. Since she is a strategist, rehearsal formations are always needed.
"Or why I let the soldiers train naked and scare her away." Li Hengqiu secretly looked at Zhang Huan and suggested carefully.
"Forget it, let her! It will ruin the name of our Tianqi Camp if it is reported."
Zhang Huan sighed helplessly. His mind was no longer here. Uncle Mute did not return overnight last night, which really made him very worried. He was not worried that Uncle Mute would reveal his secret. Since he was determined to do it, he could not be afraid of the front and the back. He was just worried about Uncle Mute's personal safety.
"General!" A personal soldier rushed over on a horse, "The Empress is here!"
"Empress?" Zhang Huan stood up and looked westward. He saw nearly a hundred palace maids, eunuchs and guards coming from a distance in the entrance connecting the Daming Palace.
Zhang Huan immediately led several officers to greet him, "Since Zhang Huan, please see the Empress!"
"Zhang Aiqing is exempt from gifts. I am here to see the training of polo players." Cui Xiaofu walked down from the phoenix chariot with a smile. With the support of several palace maids, she saw Changsun Yiyi in red outfit coaching several polo players training on the polo field.
Cui Xiaofu looked at Zhang Huan with confusion on her face. Zhang Huan smiled slightly, "Please rest assured that these polo players are not the ones who play. The training of real players is usually done at night."
Cui Xiaofu smiled coldly and said, "What I am curious about is how Changsun Yiyi appeared here? Could it be that the general forgot the oath he had made to someone?"
Zhang Huan shook his head, "I'm afraid I'm thinking too far. Miss Changsun is just here to play basketball, and there is no other meaning."
Cui Xiaofu stared at him for a while and said lightly: "General Zhang must remember that people's words are terrifying. Miss Changsun can come to Dongneiyuan to play basketball without avoiding suspicion. If someone is interested, it will cause a lot of controversy in Chang'an. Then how should you, Zhang Huan, explain to Changsun Nanfang?"
Zhang Huan smiled and bowed to Cui Xiaofu, "Thank you for your reminder!"
"Okay! Since the polo player doesn't train, I will go back."
Cui Xiaofu climbed onto the phoenix chariot again, and the phoenix chariot slowly started. She pulled the curtains and pondered for a while and said to Zhang Huan meaningfully: "The only one who can help you is the one who can help you, but I hope that my cooperation with you is not limited to polo."
After saying that, she pulled the curtain of the car and headed towards the Daming Palace surrounded by nearly a hundred people.
Zhang Huan looked at Cui Xiaofu away and gradually fell into deep thought. He knew that Cui Xiaofu was not coming to see why polo players trained. She would not go to play the stage with the emperor for this little thing. She came with purpose, and this purpose was probably her last sentence. Cooperation was not limited to polo, using Cui Ning as bait to lure herself into the bait.
Of course, she came today just to ask for directions and test her reaction. If she had the intention to cooperate, she would express her true intention. Zhang Huan smiled coldly, and it seemed that undercurrents were far more than one undercurrent under the calm water.

After lunch, Changsun Yiyi's enthusiasm rose again, and rode on a horse and headed towards Dongneiyuan. She was an easy-to-go woman. Originally, playing polo was just a means, and fishing for a rich son-in-law was the goal, but her blood inherited the Changsun family's love for polo. In the morning, she put the cart before the horse and forgot Zhang Huan and taught polo seriously. Later, when she remembered the purpose of this trip, Zhang Huan had already left Dongneiyuan.
However, another characteristic of Changsun Yiyi is that she does her own way and never cares about other people's comments, as if Zhang Huan is the polo in her eyes. If she aims at the target, she will seize every opportunity to hit the ball and get started.
Changsun Yiyi had only been walking less than a mile, but she caught a carriage behind her. Several guards were guarding each other. The curtains were opened, and a familiar laugh came from the window, "Yiyi, I went to find you just now, and my uncle said you just went out, where are you going?"
Changsun Yiyi didn't have to look back and knew that her close friend Pei Ying in the carriage had a strong sense of hierarchy. Not only did marriages pay attention to equality, but people also had specific circles in their interactions. For example, in the high-level social circle, most of the ladies in the circle were noble ladies with imperial decrees, and the worst was a fair wife, and she would never get into a woman with a concubine. The circle of ladies was slightly better. Most of them had no identities, and young people also paid more attention to friendship, so there were often not many people in a circle, and it was definitely not without rules. For example, the daughter of a county magistrate was unlikely to become friends with the daughter of the prime minister.
There are about seven or eight people in the circle where Changsun Yiyi is, such as Cui Ning, Pei Ying, Chu Xingshui's youngest daughter Chu Mingzhu, Wei Er's daughter Wei Ruoyue, etc.
Among them, Changsun Yiyi, Pei Ying and Cui Ning have the best relationship. They talk about everything on weekdays and often go out for outings together. However, every time they go out, they always attract countless admirers. No matter whether these three people marry, they are enough to make them rise to the top.
Changsun Yiyi is famous for her straightforward personality. If Pei Ying usually asks her where she is going, she must have smiled happily, ‘Where can I go besides playing polo?’
But today she was a little difficult to speak, and she couldn't say anything when she went to Zhang Huan. Changsun Yiyi hesitated for a long time before she forced a smile: "My father made the bet of Tianqi Camp, but he was worried, so she asked me to watch them training and be a polo strategist, it's true!"
"Didn't you think you are a woman and it's inconvenient to go to the army?" Pei Ying seemed to have no intention of leaving, but instead had the meaning of breaking the casserole and asking the end.
"What else does he think except for caring about the male and female horses?" Changsun Yiyi said frankly and said indecent words at once, her face turned red. She immediately asked for a question: "Do you have something to ask me today?"
"Actually, it's nothing. I'm so bored at home. I'll talk to you."
Changsun Yiyi hesitated and said, "It may not work today, why don't I come to you another day."
Pei Ying suddenly smiled sly, "What's going on today? She speaks hesitantly and looks abnormal. Could it be that you are going on a blind date?"
"Who said I'm going on a blind date!" Changsun Yiyi's face turned redder, "Didn't I say that? I'm going to be a polo strategist. If you have a serious business, I'll chat with you another day."
"It's better if you don't have a blind date. I'm fine anyway, so let's see how you become a staff officer."
Changsun Yiyi was anxious and angry, but helpless. If she was driven to death, she would be suspected by her. Just as she was thinking about it, they had already arrived at the gate of Dongneiyuan. Changsun Yiyi saw the soldiers guarding the gate, and a glimmer of hope suddenly arose in her heart. Unexpectedly, Pei Ying's subsequent reprimand pinched off the hope that had just risen.
"The emperor issued an order in the seventh year of Qingzhi that the children of officials above the third rank can use the Dongneiyuan venue to practice football at will. I am the daughter of Pei Xiangguo. Do you dare to resist the order and refuse to obey it?"
"This..." The officer guarding the gate hesitated a little. He thought for a while and said, "Please wait for Miss Pei, let's go and ask the general now."
When Changsun Yiyi saw the two soldiers turning around and running, she couldn't help but say to Pei Ying with some complaints: "If you want to go in, just push it to me. Why bother with imperial edicts and prime ministers? It will make things worse. This will arouse people's disgust. You! You are really ignorant."
"Our Miss Changsun has always been doing what she wants. Why do you care about other people's disgust today?" Pei Ying pulled a crack in the car curtain and laughed in a low voice: "If you care so much, it will make people mistakenly think that you are really here for a blind date."
"Stop making trouble!" Changsun Yiyi suddenly saw several horses galloping towards this side. The person in front was Zhang Huan. After Pei Ying made trouble, she began to feel a little nervous. Before Zhang Huan could see her, her face turned red first.
"Zhang Huan was really moved by Miss Changsun's so dedicated, but the soldiers were going to have sex this afternoon and were unable to train polo, so Miss Changsun was in vain."
Zhang Huan said this and turned around and bowed to Pei Ying's carriage and smiled: "Zhang Huan didn't know the emperor's decree for the seventh year of Qingzhi. He offended him, but Miss Pei's extensive knowledge of Guangxi made Zhang Huan even more admired. If Miss Pei wanted to come to Dongneiyuan, she could enter at any time."
The curtain was halfway open, and a crystal-like face appeared in the car window. Her pupils were as bright as gems, her eyes were flowing, her spirit was flying, her nose was small and exquisite, and it matched very evenly with her plump and round red lips.
"General Zhang has won the award. Since Dong Neiyuan is already the headquarters of Tianqi Camp, I will naturally not enter at will. Today I am just practicing with Yiyi, and there is no other intention."
Although Zhang Huan had a relationship with Pei Ying as early as the beginning of the year, Pei Ying covered her face with a veil from beginning to end. It was not until this moment that Zhang Huan could see her beauty. It was indeed well-known. Zhang Huan secretly exclaimed, and she was worthy of being one of the pearls of Chang'an.
At this time, Changsun Yiyi's face next to her became a little unnatural. She has lived among a large group of sisters since she was a child and knows a lot about women's thoughts. From Zhang Huan's coming out to now, she only said one thing to her, and the rest of her time was spent on Pei Ying.
From Pei Ying's voluntary opening of the car curtain, from the look she looked at Zhang Huan, from the tone of her speaking to Zhang Huan, Changsun Yiyi realized extremely sensitively that they might have known each other for a long time.
Sure enough, Changsun Yiyi noticed that Zhang Huan nodded to one of Pei Ying's guards, her eyes full of friendly smiles, and her heart immediately sank, and they must have known each other.
Generally speaking, women are always extremely guarded against other women around their lovers. Even if this woman talks to her, she is as close as a sister. Once she involves her lifelong affairs, even the closest relationship will disappear in an instant. Therefore, since ancient times, only men Liu, Guan, and Zhang Jieyi have never heard of women having sex in Taoyuan.
However, Zhang Huan is far from being the lover of her eldest son Yiyi, and she is not even a lover of her. She has to defend her own interests. And more importantly, Pei Ying is also waiting to marry. How could she not be moved by such an outstanding hero in Zhang Huan?
Thinking of this, Changsun Yiyi coughed heavily and resolutely stopped the brows between them. She said softly to Zhang Huan: "Since the afternoon is inconvenient, then Yiyi will come again tomorrow."
Turning his head, he said to Pei Ying with a gloomy face: "Let's not disturb the general's business, let's go!"
Pei Ying smiled and put down the curtain of the car. Changsun Yiyi looked at Zhang Huan, her face suddenly turned red, and she whispered: "I won't train tomorrow. I'll analyze the opponent for the general, okay?"
Zhang Huan called out, "Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
He bowed to Pei Ying and turned his horse back to the barracks. Seeing that he had no sincerity to invite him, Changsun Yiyi felt angry. She glared at Pei Ying fiercely and whipped the horse and galloped away.
