  Chapter 398 The Empress Dowager and the Eldest Princess

  The sedan chair stops.

  Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look up.

   Nangong Huoyue, dressed in a fiery red dress, stepped out of the sedan chair, exuding a ruthless aura cultivated through years of battlefield baptism, which made people daunting.

  That delicate and beautiful face with a cold expression was also full of majesty.

  She looked at Lord Duan, a faint smile appeared on her face, she cupped her hands and said, "Uncle Duan."

  Prince Duan smiled all over his face and said: "Huoyue came so early today, let's go, let's go to the stadium together."

  Nangong Huoyue looked at Nangong Meijiao beside the road, and said, "Is Meijiao participating today?"

   Nangong Meijiao lowered her head slightly, and said, "Yes, Miss Huang, I'm in Xiaorui's team."

  Nangong Huoyue looked at the well-dressed young man beside her again, and asked, "Is this one of yours?"

  Nangong Meijiao lowered her head and said, "Yes."

  Nangong Huoyue smiled slightly, didn't speak any more, dragged her fiery red dress, and walked forward together with Prince Duan.

  The group of people did not dare to ride in the carriage anymore, but followed respectfully.

  Even Nangong Xiaorui was overwhelmed by her aura. After timidly calling out Miss Huang, she didn't dare to speak again.

   "It's so majestic."

   Nangong Meijiao complained in a low voice to someone next to her.

  Luo Qingzhou glanced at the red shadow in front of him, and said, "He got it by his own ability."

   Nangong Meijiao looked at him and said, "Are you sad?"

  Luo Qingzhou looked strange: "Why are you sad?"

   Nangong Meijiao's eyes were full of gloating: "They ignore you, and even pretend not to know you. Maybe it's not pretending, but the nobleman forgets things a lot, and he has already forgotten you."

  Luo Qingzhou said: "Isn't that better? For me, it's safer."

   Nangong Meijiao curled her lips: "I'm afraid someone doesn't think so."

  Luo Qingzhou said: "The princess is really long-winded."

"What did you say?"

   Nangong Meijiao stared.

  Luo Qingzhou said: "I said the princess is really smart."

  Nangong Meijiao snorted coldly, and said, "Play hard today, and I'll give you a present after the game is over."

  Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "What gift?"

  Nangong Meijiao showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said: "You will know when the time comes, I believe you will like it."

  Luo Qingzhou glanced at the expression on her face, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

   It can't be lime, can it?

   A group of people came to the stadium soon.

   At this time, the sun has just risen.

  Prince Duan sat down in the front row with the eldest princess, chatting about some recent events in Kyoto.

  As for the matter in the palace and the border, neither of them tacitly mentioned it.

  Luo Qingzhou, together with Nangong Meijiao, followed Nangong Xiaorui on the court, getting familiar with each position.

  Luo Qingzhou walked to the goal and observed the distance around him.

  Including the goalkeeper, there are nine people on each side. The rules are no different from ordinary football, and the field is slightly smaller than a football field.

  Nangong Xiaorui gathered several people together, discussed the tactics of the game later, and assigned their positions.

   There are three forwards, Nangong Xiaorui, Nangong Meijiao, and the young man named Shizi.

   Nangong Xiaorui told everyone about some characteristics of the opponent's football.

   The one who met her in the competition was a ten-year-old girl named Zhang Yan'er from Concubine Zhang's natal family.

  Zhang Yaner's father was a court minister, and his family was also a wealthy family.

  At the same time, she also has a special status - the quasi-imperial concubine.

  Zhang Yaner also loved playing football since she was a child, and she was also very talented. She played a few games with Nangong Xiaorui.

  If it was someone else, they would no longer confront her if they only heard her title of "Prince-to-be".

  But Nangong Xiaorui was not afraid of her, and returned her bet that whoever loses would bark like a puppy, and even apologized to the other party.

  Prince Duan persuaded her a few words, but seeing that it didn't work, he had to let her mess around.

  The Empress Dowager and Zhang Taifei also witnessed the process of the two little girls from quarreling to the date of the fight. The competition was proposed by Zhang Taifei with a smile so that the two would not continue to quarrel.

   Chaoyang had just risen to the top of the mountain, and Zhang Yan'er also brought her team to the stadium with great vigor.

   Nangong Xiaorui wore a uniform black jersey, while Zhang Yaner wore a uniform white jersey.

  In Zhang Yan'er's team, there are also 17-year-old girls and 20-year-old youths, which are surprisingly consistent with Nangong Xiaorui's team members in terms of age and gender.

  The two seem to have discussed it long ago, so that it seems more fair.

   "Xiao Rui, don't say that I bully you. Although I am one year older than you, I am shorter than you and my legs are not as long as yours. I hope you will lose by then. Don't use this as an excuse."

  As soon as Zhang Yaner came to the court, he spoke very aggressively.

  Nangong Xiaorui sneered, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not like some people who like being rambunctious. Zhang Yan'er, if you lose today, I won't let you go."

Zhang Yan'er sneered, and said: "Who loses, we will know later. The queen mother and aunt are here today, and the eldest princess sister is also here. The emperor may also come when he retires. So don't worry , whoever is rambunctious will not have the face to go out in the future."

Nangong Xiaorui snorted coldly: "That's good. Zhang Yan'er, let's make an agreement first. The loser will bark like a puppy and bark at least twenty times, and everyone should hear it. As for the apology, do you want to apologize?" , I don't care."

  Zhang Yaner said contemptuously: "I agree. The loser can just bark twenty times like a puppy. As for apologizing, I don't want to hear your apology, anyway, you don't have much sincerity."

  The two looked at each other, their voices clashed, and their swords were on edge.

  At this time, a large group of people surrounded the Queen Mother and Concubine Zhang and walked slowly.

   Prince Duan and Princess Eldest who were chatting stood up.

  Prince Duan greeted him with a smile all over his face, and bowed his head in salute.

   Concubine Zhang was no better than the Queen Mother, and she also hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I saw Prince Duan, and I'm getting younger."

  Prince Duan smiled and said: "It's not comparable to the concubine."

  The queen mother glanced at the girl behind him, and said in a low voice: "Huo Yue seems to be in a bad mood today, what's going on?"

  Prince Duan replied in a low voice: "It's probably because of the boredom of staying in the palace recently."

  Concubine Zhang walked over quickly, with a bright smile on her face, she directly took Nangong Huoyue's hand and said affectionately: "Huoyue, look at you, haven't you eaten well recently and you've lost weight again?"

  Nangong Huoyue kept a cold face, ignored her, and looked at her biological mother.

  Concubine Zhang said a few more enthusiastic words, Fang let go of her hand embarrassingly, and stepped aside.

  The queen mother came over, frowned slightly and said, "Huoyue, why are you looking at the queen mother like this? Don't you scream when you see the queen mother?"

  Nangong Huoyue was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Mother, the border monsters are in chaos, the city has fallen, and the people have been displaced. I want to go to put down the chaos. When can I start?"

The queen mother smiled when she heard the words, and said: "Huoyue, you don't have to worry about this matter, the court has sent people there, I believe that the turmoil will subside soon. You just returned to the capital, we mother and daughter have a good gathering Ju, your imperial brother is also reluctant to let you go. You are a girl, such things should be left to men. Otherwise, people will think that we have no men in Dayan."

  Nangong Huoyue said: "But there is my fief, if I don't go, what will the soldiers and people there think of me?"

The queen mother smiled faintly, sat down on the seat next to her, stretched out her hand and said, "Come on, sit down and talk. Today we are here to watch Xiaorui and Yan'er play football. As for those things, I won't mention them today." Yes. National affairs, of course your brother and the court ministers are worried about it, you come back after a long time, just take a good rest for a while, don't worry about other things anymore."

Concubine Zhang also smiled and said: "Yes, yes, Huoyue, listen to your mother, war is a man's business, you are a girl, it is not good to always go out to show your face. How happy you are in the palace, with your mother , there is the Holy One, there is us, there is Yan'er Xiaorui and the others, everyone is eating and having fun together, why bother to go out in the wind and sun, and run around? And it is dangerous to fight, you are the most beloved by the late emperor and empress dowager Princess, if something goes wrong..."

   "Don't mention my father in front of me!"

   Nangong Huoyue interrupted her suddenly, looked at her coldly and said, "You are not qualified."

  The smile on Concubine Zhang's face froze immediately, the corners of her eyes twitched a few times, but she didn't dare to get angry, she smiled coyly, and said, "Okay, okay, I won't mention it."

  The Empress Dowager's face darkened and she said, "Huoyue, what's your attitude?"

  Nangong Huoyue didn't speak any more, took her hand away from hers, turned around, walked to a far place and sat down alone, looking at the court.

  That flaming red dress, under the morning sun, became the most unique scenery on the court.

   "It was the late emperor who favored her!"

  The queen mother snorted coldly, and said with a somber face: "A girl, going out all day to show her face, leading troops to fight, how decent is she!"

  Concubine Zhang hurriedly persuaded from the side: "Sister, don't be angry, Huoyue may be in a bad mood recently, so she ran into you."

Immediately, her eyes flashed brightly, and she sighed: "Hey, Huoyue has its own kingdom and its own army, which is stronger than those princes, and it's understandable to be stubborn. I guess it's because I left my place It's been too long, I miss it a little."

  As soon as these words came out, Prince Duan at the side glanced at her.

  The empress dowager sneered, "My own place?"

  Concubine Zhang gave a smug smile and didn't speak any more.

  At this time, Zhang Yaner's voice came from the court: "Queen Mother, Aunt, Eldest Princess Elder Sister, Prince Duan, can we start?"

  The Queen Mother looked at her, with a smile on her face, and said, "We can start now."

   "Xiaorui, it's time to start!"

  Zhang Yaner shouted and returned to her team.

  The players of both sides stand still and prepare for each other.

   The umpire has the ball in his hand and is in the middle of the serve.

"when-"

   A gong sounds, and the game begins.

  The ball was thrown high into the sky, and then fell down again.

   The players from both sides began to compete fiercely.

  Nangong Huoyue stared at the figure standing in front of the goal on the pitch, and after a while, said to the side: "During the lunch break, find a way to bring him to my palace."

  Yueying standing behind said respectfully: "Yes, Your Highness."
