At this time, just as Shanghai Wan 'er turned around the door, she saw Princess Taiping and Yang Fan standing face to face, smiling sweetly. Because Yang Fan's back was facing the Main Hall, she could not see his expression. But it could be imagined that whoever stood in front of such a stunning and enchanting beauty, must also be smiling brilliantly.
Not knowing why, Shanghai Wan 'er felt somewhat uncomfortable in her heart.
With his back to Shangguan Wan 'er, Yang Fan said, "When I was playing cuju with the imperial guards that day, I deeply felt that Your Highness's cuju technique is extremely exquisite. Although I've only been playing cuju for a short time, I've seen many first-class cuju masters. Among these cuju masters that I've met, Your Highness can be called …"
Princess Taiping was facing the Main Hall, she had already seen Shanghai Wan 'er coming out. Her eyes flashed, slightly rippling with a touch of mischievousness. She and Shanghai Wan 'er were both good at cuju, but the two of them had never really competed with each other. They had always been equally famous. At present, Yang Fan was recognized as the number one cuju master. If Yang Fan said that she played better than Wan' er, she would firmly surpass Wan 'er.
She was confident that her cuju was not worse than Shanghai Wan 'er's. Moreover, when she asked this question, in front of her, even if Yang Fan was just pretending, he had to admit that her cuju skill was better than Shanghai Wan' er's. At this time, Shanghai Wan 'er happened to be behind Yang Fan. When he found out that Shanghai Wan' er was also there, his embarrassment must be very interesting.
Who would have thought that Yang Fan was also very quick-witted, when Shanghai Wan 'er came out, she did not deliberately cover her footsteps. Moreover, she did not know martial arts, so it was not easy to conceal the sound of her footsteps from Yang Fan. When Yang Fan heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and saw the mischievous look in Princess Taiping's eyes, how could he not know that Shanghai Wan' er had come out?
Yang Fan's expression did not change, but his tone changed abruptly. He continued, "Among all the Cuju masters I've met, Your Highness can be called … the second!"
"Huh?"
Princess Taiping's smile froze on her face. She looked at Yang Fan and blinked her eyes as if she had misheard and asked, "Second?"
"Not bad!"
Duke Taiping straightened his face and said, "Then who is first?"
Yang Fan said, "In Zaixia's opinion, among the people in the Imperial Palace, Her Highness the Princess, Shangguan Daizhao and Xie Duwei, three people are the best. Xie Duwei fought fiercely, charging to the front, almost no one can stop him, and can be called a brave general. Princess is in the middle, commanding the whole situation, can attack and defend, and is a wise commander. Shangguan Daizhao can advance as a general, retreat as a commander, and has both of your strengths. Therefore, I think, among everyone, Shangguan Daizhao's Cuju skill is the best. "
Shanghai Wan 'er heard Yang Fan's words clearly, the uncomfortable feeling in her heart was swept away, and a shallow smile appeared on her face.
Yang Fan's expression did not change as he finished his speech. He secretly sighed, "That was close! I was almost fooled by you, the Princess! If I want to find that Miao Shenke's whereabouts, I need to start with Shanghai Wan 'er, if I offend her, I will not have any chance in the future. If I do not hug her thigh, do you think I will hug yours? "
Princess Taiping gave a 'humph' sound, and said unconvinced, "Listening to what you said, it seems to be reasonable, but … one person's opinion, after all, cannot be taken as the truth."
Yang Fan said with a smile, "That's what I'm saying. If we were to talk about Your Highness the Princess, your strongest point is that not only are you good at Cuju, but you are also good at Cuju. Not to mention that you are the best among the women in Cuju, even if you are compared to the many Cuju experts in the Imperial Army, Your Highness, you are still better than them, and this is very rare. Therefore, if we are talking about the Cuju skill, I think that among all the women in the world, Your Highness, you are the best! "
When Princess Taiping heard this, she giggled, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "At least you know how to talk, you will not offend anyone!"
At this time, Shanghai Wan 'er came forward, and said with a graceful smile, "Your Highness the Princess has arrived!"
Although Shanghai Wan 'er was the daughter of an official, she was now the Empress Dowager's favorite, and her power was much greater than Princess Taiping's. Just like how Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi had to try their best to flatter Xue Huaiyi, even though Princess Taiping had no request for Shangguan Wan 'er, the two of them still called each other by their names in private and were on equal footing. However, in public, Shanghai Wan 'er paid attention to each other's identity, and always insisted on meeting each other with the etiquette of a princess.
Princess Taiping smiled, "Yes, I am here to see my mother."
Shanghai Wan 'er said, "The Empress must have already left the court, but she has not yet arrived at Wucheng Hall. Princess, please sit in the hall for a while …"
Just as she said this, a little eunuch shouted from afar, "The Empress has arrived ~!"
Shanghai Wan 'er exclaimed, "The Empress has arrived, you and I should quickly welcome her!" As she said this, she lifted the skirt of her robe and went out to welcome her.
Princess Taiping rolled her eyes at Yang Fan, and said with some displeasure, "Little rascal, under her control, you dare not offend her, right? Humph! Why don't you think about who brought you into the palace? Shangguan can't be provoked, but can Taiping? "
…
In Tao Guangyuan, next to the observation platform, a group of people were playing football.
There were both men and women playing football. Most of the men were bodyguards and eunuchs who were not on duty at the moment, and most of the women were palace maids and beauties.
Among the crowd, the three most dazzling stars were, of course, Princess Taiping, Shanghai Wan 'er, and Yang Fan.
Since they were here, of course, they were the red flowers, and the others naturally became the green leaves.
The wind was blowing gently, faintly bringing with it the feeling of spring …
At this moment, they were "playing for nothing". "Playing for nothing" mainly demonstrated the control of the ball, a bit like playing football. Everyone gathered in a circle, and after catching the ball, they used all kinds of technical movements to bounce the ball, displaying their skills to the fullest. When they were about to be unable to hold on, they passed the ball to the next person in time.
In this way, the three of them, Yang Fan, Shanghai Wan 'er, and Li Lingyue, were exceptionally eye-catching. When the ball was under their feet, the three of them displayed their skills, kicking the ball in a variety of ways, dazzling the eyes. From time to time, there were bursts of cheers on the field.
"Amazing! It's the same ball, but how come when it's under Erlang's feet, it's so beautiful! Xiaoman, look, ah! This kick is so beautiful! "
Gao Ying clenched her fist, standing on the sidelines, staring at Yang Fan. That excited look made her look like a little love-struck fool. Xie Xiaoman listened to her shouting, and helplessly rolled her eyes.
Xiaoman had just stepped down from the field, her face slightly flushed, and there were some sweat on her forehead. She had been playing for a long time, competing with Yang Fan for a long time, but unfortunately, she couldn't gain any advantage. When Princess Taiping and Shanghai Wan 'er arrived together, she took the opportunity to step down.
Yang Fan looked a little less serious and heroic when he was in his military uniform, but a little more naughty and chic. Butchie had to admit that his high-spirited appearance was very pleasing to the eye, especially when matched with his handsome kicking movements, which made him even more charming.
Xiaoman glanced at Gao Ying and saw her staring at Yang Fan with a look of joy. She couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Xiaoying, do you like him?"
"Yes, yes! I love him so much! He's so handsome, so cute! Ah! This ball is great! "
Xiaoman suddenly became worried, and said uneasily, "Xiaoying, you must be careful about your marriage! I always feel that this person has a romantic temperament, and is not a good man to entrust your life to. Don't you see that he is not serious all day long, always flirting with those little palace maids … "
Gao Ying was startled, turned back to look at her, and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? I said I like him, like … I like him. Do you have to marry a person just because you like him? Besides … when did he flirt, it was those little girls who pestered him, okay? "
She looked at Xie Xiaoman, slowly revealed a strange look, and said, "Oh … I heard from Xiao Miao that you seem to like him very much, right?"
Xiaoman's face suddenly turned red, and she said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about, how can I like him!"
Gao Ying said suspiciously, "Really?"
Xiaoman said firmly, "Absolutely not! In this Luoyang City, there is no man who can enter my eyes! "
Gao Ying said happily, "That's good! Ha! Listening to what you said … "
Gao Ying pinched her chin, narrowed her eyes and looked at Yang Fan in the distance, and said lecherously, "I really want to make him my man!"
Xiaoman said, "Men are afraid of entering the wrong profession, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. A man is fine with everything else, but a bad character. Once he trusts the wrong person for life, his life will be ruined."
Gao Ying said with a smile, "Xiaoman, why are you so prejudiced against him? I have never seen him flirt, especially recently, he has been on duty in Wu Cheng Hall all day, has he had a chance to hit on women?"
Xiaoman thought for a moment and said, "Well … this … I have not found …"
Gao Ying said with a smile, "That's right, he … uh …"
Gao Ying said with a smile, turned her head, and looked at the court again, this time, her voice suddenly stuttered.
Yang Fan had just walked off the court, probably wanting to rest for a while, and Shangguan Daizhao also walked off the court with him. The two walked to the stone bench on the side of the court, Yang Fan first took a futon, brushed it with his sleeves, put it back, and politely made a gesture to invite them to sit.
Shangguan Daizhao nodded sweetly and sat down leisurely. Yang Fan also picked up a futon and sat down. The two talked and laughed. Except for Princess Taiping, when had Shangguan Daizhao ever sat with others on equal footing and greeted them with a smile? Not to mention that the other party was a man, and this man was a soldier whose status was worlds apart from hers. Gao Ying couldn't help but be stunned.
Xie Muwen murmured to herself, "I was wondering why he didn't flirt anymore, so it turns out that he has a higher goal! He is really bold, even daring to hit on Shangguan Daizhao! "
Gao Ying said dejectedly, "So he likes Shangguan Daizhao, this is bad. If he likes someone else, I still have a chance, but if it's Shangguan Daizhao, how dare I compete."
Xie Muwen was stunned, "No way! You just said that you don't want to marry him. "
Gao Ying said confidently, "That's because he doesn't like me."
Xie Muwen said, "This is your luck! Humph, I always feel that he is eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, his heart is too flirtatious. "
Gao Ying said disapprovingly, "It's a waste of youth not to be flirtatious! It's better to be flirtatious now than in the future. Now he is spending on you, in the future, when he is enlightened, he will spend it on other women, leaving you as a 'idle wife'. This kind of lover is tactful and knows how to make you happy. Don't tell me you like those dull and boring poor scholars? "
Xie Muwen, "…"
