C241 You Look the Best
After setting up the area, all the men at the scene shouted for them to come down and temporarily form two groups.
King Jing patted King Kang Le's shoulder and said, "Fifth brother and I will be going in the same team. You guys take a look at how we'll team up."
"Puchi ~ ~ ~"
Second Prince Yan Chengqi covered his mouth and laughed, he patted King Jing's shoulders and taunted: "Big brother, you must have lost your memories from seeing Ol 'Five right? "Ol 'Five injured his leg in the paddock a few years ago and couldn't even walk properly today. You want him to play polo?"
Yan Chengqi curled his lips, revealing dense disdain. King Jing was not embarrassed at all, but he smiled humbly, "I am indeed happy to not see Fifth Brother for a few years." He turned to King Kang Le and asked, "Ol 'Five, can you play polo with your legs?"
Hearing King Jing's words, Yan Chengqi snorted disdainfully. He told him that his fifth brother had been severely injured that year, and his leg was not very nimble.
King Kang Le's heart skipped a beat, was he trying to test him? He raised his head and glanced at King Jing, only to see the other party looking at him with a longing expression. He sincerely wanted to play polo with him, causing his heart to waver.
Yan Chengqi patted his shoulder and said: "Ol 'Five, don't force yourself. Even if you can't play with us, Big Brother won't blame you, right?"
Yan Chengqi raised his chin and stared at King Jing like a hawk. The Third Prince at the side coughed a few times and said: "That's right, Fifth Brother, don't force yourself. It's better for you to accompany Third Brother to watch the competition."
"Then Fifth Brother, accompany Third Brother and sit over there and chat for a while, while you watch the competition." King Jing patted his shoulder, letting him carry His Highness out to the side to rest under the awning.
Afterwards, the remaining people were split into two teams, with King Jing and Second Prince as the leaders, and Mu Chen and Second Prince as their team.
Second Prince stood opposite of King Jing and said with a face full of smiles: "Big Brother, you should surrender as soon as possible."
The King Jing laughed, pointed at him and said: "Don't talk too much, you might not win. I am invincible throughout the palace."
Second Prince pursed his lips, filled with disdain. "Big brother, the reason why you are invincible in public is because you have never fought with me before."
His words completely brought out King Jing's warlike heart. He lightly knocked the baseball bat on the ground, "You really dare to say it. Alright, since you're so confident, let's take a gamble."
Hearing that, Second Prince's eyes immediately lit up, but he immediately suppressed the joy in his heart, and said: "Then tell me, what do you want to bet?"
"What do you think?" The King Jing asked. Although the Second Prince hid his feelings well, just a moment ago, he still felt the ambition he emitted.
"Big Bro, you're really making things difficult for me." The Second Prince laughed, "Then the one who loses must unconditionally agree to win a request from one of their side."
"Alright." King Jing promised in a breath.
With the sound of a gong, the two teams started fighting.
The third and fifth princes and several imperial concubines were sitting under the awning on the side of the lawn, watching the battle.
The Third Prince and the Fifth Prince hadn't seen each other for a long time. They first politely cared about each other's physical condition, and then reminisced about the old days. Only then did they pay attention to the competition.
"Third brother, who do you think woke up?" The third prince's body was weak, so he could not drink, thus Yan Cheng'an poured him a cup of warm water.
"Cough, cough, cough …" The Third Prince covered his mouth with a handkerchief and lightly coughed a few times. "I'm not familiar with this game, and I don't know what the rules are. I really can't see which one of us has the upper hand."
After saying this, he felt a little lonely. If it wasn't for his poor health, he would have liked to play polo with his brothers and go hunting in the enclosure, but unfortunately …
He shook his head, his eyes filled with envy and loneliness. Yan Cheng'an saw that he had been poked in the sore spot, and quickly said: "It's my fault.
He drank a cup of wine and analyzed the situation with the third prince.
The surrounding Crown Princess were in high spirits as they chattered excitedly. They paid close attention to the progress of the competition and began to discuss about it in an orderly manner.
Amongst the few of them, the most out of place was Zeng Rou'er. She quietly moved closer to King Kang Le and kept sneaking glances at him, causing Crown Princess Jing and Second Crown Princess to become unhappy with her actions. However, she still thought that she had done it very secretly, and that it was becoming more and more serious.
Because Shen Jingli was a twin, he did not sit together with a few Crown Princess s. Instead, he sat on a blanket in the hut next door.
He was also paying close attention to the match, his gaze was naturally on Mu Chen, he was extremely focused and his swing was extremely clean and crisp, and only he was able to snatch a ball from King Jing's pole, causing the match to become more and more intense.
As Shen Jingli was watching with rapt attention, someone suddenly spoke to him.
"I heard that the Nanping County Prince and General Mu have a deep affection for each other. For many years, the only person in the house was Nanping County Prince."
Looking back, it was actually King Kang Le. Looking at his clear black eyes, Shen Jingli was startled, unable to understand what he meant by those words.
Just as he was in a daze, he felt a vicious gaze from the side, as if it wanted to cut him into a thousand pieces.
King Kang Le smiled like a fox hiding its tail. He spoke again, "County Prince, why did you set your sights on General Mu back then?"
"He's good-looking." He blurted out these words without thinking.
What he said was the truth, but King Kang Le was stunned for a moment. It was as if he did not expect him to say it so bluntly.
On the side, Crown Princess Jing had a face of sudden enlightenment, he rubbed his chin and nodded, "I think so too. "General Mu, aside from his good looks, he really is boring. He has always kept a straight face and doesn't talk or laugh at all. Even though he's so old and doesn't want to marry, I still suspect that he might have cut off his sleeves …"
Could it be that this wasn't considered a broken sleeve? As Shen Jingli thought about it, he suddenly realized that in this space and time, he and Mu Chen were actually heterosexual, and those like and the cold wind were the real Broken Sleeve.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry and didn't know how to reply.
Zeng Rou'er snorted disdainfully, and muttered: "How could a country bumpkin like him be interested in others. He's just a lowly person who was bought into the sect, does he really think that he's above us just because he's been banned in the County Prince?"
She intentionally lowered her voice, but her words still got into Shen Jingli's ears very clearly. He raised his head to look at Zeng Rou'er, who arrogantly lifted her chin, and looked in his direction as she snorted disdainfully.
Second Crown Princess was so angry that he almost broke the teacup. She glared at Zeng Rou'er and thought ruthlessly in her heart.
"Little sister, since you're not feeling well, why don't you go into the library and rest for a while. After the competition is over, we'll go over and have a hot spring together."
The Second Crown Princess said with a smile. His tone was clearly one of discussion, but the moment he said that, he forcefully ordered his men to bring Zeng Rou'er away, and after that, he glanced at King Kang Le and asked Shen Jingli with a smile, "The relationship between County Prince and General Mu is really good, and General Mu doesn't want to accept a concubine for the sake of the County Prince. I wonder, what kind of imperial arts does the County Prince have?"
On one side, the Third and Fifth Princes laughed embarrassedly, while the other two consort laughed out loudly and followed up on their questions, making Shen Jingli feel extremely embarrassed.
At this time, a burst of enthusiastic cheers came from the field. King Jing put the polo stick on his shoulder and walked over to Second Prince with the horse's abdomen in front of him. He smiled and said: "Winning and losing is a common occurrence for soldiers.
Second Prince glared at him unhappily, then pulled the reins to the side. When he passed the horse to the coachman, he even turned his head to glance at Mu Chen.
King Jing rode past Mu Chen and said: "I'm afraid it's his fault that you didn't go all out."
"I did my best." Mu Chen said expressionlessly, and as for the meaning behind his words, only he himself knew.
After getting off the horse, they went back to the shed and sat down to talk with the others. They then ate some fruits and went to soak in the hot spring.
The hot springs here were split between male and female broth and they were separated to soak in. But because there was no independent hot spring specially set up for Gemini, Shen Jingli was forced to soak in the outdoor hot springs outside. Mu Chen was worried about him so he came over to accompany him.
At night, Mu Chen and Shen Jingli slept in a courtyard not far from the spa pavilion. After washing up, Mu Chen stood behind Shen Jingli and helped him comb his hair.
Shen Jingli was already a little tired. He forcefully endured his sleepiness and said to Mu Chen: "I think that King Kang Le is a bit like an old cunning fox."
"Mm? What do you mean?" After brushing his hair, Mu Chen put down the comb and picked Shen Jingli up.
"Just feeling." Shen Jingli couldn't explain it, but the feeling King Kang Le gave him was like a fox wearing a mask, he was extremely cunning, "Furthermore, Zeng Rou'er seems to have a good impression of him, and has been sneaking glances at him."
Shen Jingli thought of King Kang Le's face and suddenly added, "But he really is good-looking."
The moment he said that, he felt his body shake. He was so scared that he quickly reached out to hug Mu Chen's neck and grumbled: "What are you doing?"
"He looks good?" Mu Chen squinted his eyes and stared at Shen Jingli coldly.
This is bad, to actually anger Mu Shisi, he pulled out a fawning smile, and said flattering: "You look good, you are the most beautiful person in the world."1
Mu Chen scoffed, accepting his words. He placed him on the bed, lightly pressed on top of him, and lowered his head to kiss him.
Shen Jingli used all his strength to push him away, panting slightly, "Fourteen, child."
"It's okay, I'll be careful. I won't hurt the child."
The atmosphere in the room was getting hotter. Shen Jingli wanted to resist, but in the end, he could only barely make out a moan, and the whole room was filled with an ambiguous feeling.
