Mrs. Qi nodded and continued: "By the way, remember to do it quietly and don't let anyone find out. Otherwise, what will happen if this girl dies?"

"Yes!" When Sheng Zhiyao returned to the Hou Mansion, everyone was awake and chatting. After seeing her, everyone immediately gathered around: "Zhiyao, you are finally back!"

"What's the matter? Did something happen at home?" Sheng Zhiyao asked worriedly when seeing everyone's expressions.

"No, there is nothing wrong at home because there is something going on in the palace." Qi Xinyue explained: "The queen held a polo party and invited all the prominent nobles in the capital. And I heard that this polo party had other purposes.

He said it was to choose a consort for the princess."

"Princess? Choose a consort? But our Shangzhou Dynasty doesn't have a princess." After hearing Sheng Zhiyao's words, everyone looked at her. She felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by so many people: "Not only does our Shangzhou Dynasty not have a princess, we even have a prince.

There are only three of them, and all three of them are married and have children, right?"

"But we have an emperor's grandson! And there are more than one." Sheng Hanmo reminded.

Sheng Zhiyao nodded in agreement: "That's right, then which country's princess wants to choose the consort?"

"Princess of Xichu!"

"Is it Xi Chu who is at war with our Shang Zhou Dynasty?"

"Yes, how could she come to our Shangzhou Dynasty to pick a consort? All the men in Xichu are dead?"

"Don't talk nonsense, you are a little girl, why are you so rude?" Mr. Sheng looked at Sheng Zhiyao displeased.

Sheng Zhiyao stuck out his tongue and quickly pulled a supporter on his back: "Third brother always said this, I learned it from him."

"When did I ever say such a thing? You framed me." Sheng Hangu sat aside and then misfortune fell from the sky.

"Sheng Hangu, come here." Sheng Zhengye was convinced as soon as he heard his daughter's words. His daughter would never be so rude. This bastard must have led her into trouble.

"Dad, I really didn't. My sister wronged me." Sheng Hangu looked at Sheng Zhiyao with a resentful look. She was also afraid that her father would beat her third brother and ran over.

"Father, Zhiyao knows that he was wrong and will be careful about his words and deeds in the future. Don't be angry and don't punish the third brother." Sheng Zhiyao pulled Sheng Zhengye's sleeve and looked at him with tears in his eyes.

Seeing that her daughter was about to cry, Qi Xinyue quickly pinched Sheng Zhengye from behind. Sheng Zhengye looked at his wife in pain and had to squat down and pick up Sheng Zhiyao and pat her gently: "Okay, I know I was wrong.

That’s fine, father won’t punish you anymore, just remember to pay attention in the future.”

"Yes, father." Sheng Zhiyao pretended to wipe her tears with her sleeves and made a face to Sheng Hangu.

Sheng Hangu sighed when he saw her appearance and silently gave her a thumbs up.

Sheng Hanmo looked at the actions between his younger brothers and sisters, with a faint smile on his lips. He didn't know why, but he felt that the atmosphere now was very good and warm: "Well, it's not because there is no candidate for the consort in Xichu, but because the border

Western Chu was always at a disadvantage in the First World War, and their treasury had been emptied, so the Emperor of Western Chu wanted to negotiate a peace through marriage."

"But they started the war first!" Sheng Zhiyao muttered dissatisfiedly. If they hadn't wanted to seize the border city, Shang Zhou Dynasty would not have sent troops or fought, and the people on the border would not have been in trouble.

I was homeless, but now I am here to seek peace. Why did I go there so long ago?

Sheng Hanmo shook his head: "So the importance of this marriage to Xi Chu is self-evident."

"In this case, let them make peace. This matter is none of our business anyway." Sheng Zhiyao curled her lips, looking indifferent.

Sheng Hanmo shook his head. It seemed that Zhiyao didn't really care about the marriage. It was just that she was still a child and didn't understand the stakes. Otherwise, she would definitely not agree as easily as she did now.

After listening to Sheng Zhiyao's words, Qi Xinyue also felt that it made sense: "I think Zhiyao is right, it has nothing to do with our family, and it is said that the princess of Xichu has already chosen the consort, but I don't know

Which emperor's grandson is he?"

Everyone fell into silence after hearing Qi Xinyue's words.

"Then are we all going to attend tomorrow?"

"Yes, the Queen has sent someone to send a message saying that all three of us should go to the racecourse on the outskirts of Beijing."

"Okay." Sheng Zhiyao replied helplessly.

"Just go and have fun, don't worry." Sheng Hanmo comforted Sheng Zhiyao by patting her on the shoulder.

"Yes, I will go have fun with my brothers tomorrow." Mr. Sheng also said.

"Yes!" Sheng Zhiyao agreed with a smile.

Early the next morning, a carriage stopped in front of the Shenghou Mansion. The driver got out of the car and saluted Sheng Zhiyao respectfully: "I have been ordered by the emperor to pick up the princess and the two young masters and go to the racecourse."

"Grandpa Huang asked you to come? Did other families send someone to pick you up?"

"Back to the princess, we are the only one in the Marquis' mansion."

"Haha, in that case, let's go." After saying that, he took the lead in getting on the carriage.

A group of people got on the carriage and drove out of the Marquis' Mansion toward the outskirts of Beijing.

The conversation along the way was still centered on that incident. It seemed that if the princess from Western Chu chose her consort, the war on the border would be stopped.

"Princess, the place in front of us is where we are going to participate in the polo match. It is a grassland, and some people have gathered there now." The groom pointed to the front and said to the back.

"Okay." Sheng Zhiyao looked at the grass in front of her. It must be very comfortable to play on the grass in such good weather. Thinking of this, she raised a smile at the corner of her mouth, thinking that she must enjoy it.

The carriage slowly approached the pasture. There were many people around, some were riding horses, and some were walking around the racecourse. Sheng Zhiyao soon saw some familiar faces, including Feng Yuanqing.

"Princess Yongchen of Shenghou Mansion has arrived." As soon as the carriage arrived, a young eunuch shouted at the top of his lungs.

Hearing this sound, everyone looked at the carriage here. The curtain opened and Sheng Hanmo walked out of it.

"Wow!"

"This man is really handsome!"

"Yes, this appearance is definitely no less than those of the emperor's grandsons!"

"Isn't this the eldest son of the Shenghou Mansion, Sheng Hanmo? Doesn't he never attend such gatherings?"

Everyone started talking the moment they saw Sheng Hanmo, and some of the nymphomaniac ladies even marveled at Sheng Hanmo's appearance.

Sheng Hanmo got off the carriage and turned around and stretched out his hand. Sheng Zhiyao walked out slowly and Sheng Hanmo picked her up. Sheng Hangu jumped down immediately behind him.

"Brother, I can do it by myself. You don't need to hold me!" Sheng Zhiyao pushed away Sheng Hanmo's hands, her face turned red. This was in front of outsiders!

"Okay, then be careful." Sheng Hanmo rubbed her head and put her on the ground.

"I know, brother!"

Everyone's attention quickly shifted to Sheng Zhiyao. Some people looked at Sheng Zhiyao and then at Sheng Hanmo, with a strange light shining in their eyes.

"Ouch! This turns out to be Princess Yongchen!"

"Yes, although her appearance is not as good as her elder brother's, she is better than her with fair skin and exquisite facial features!"

When Sheng Zhiyao heard this, she was unhappy. She glared at those nymphomaniac ladies, and then said to Sheng Hanmo, "Brother, look at these people!"

"Okay, I get it!"

"Why am I not as good-looking as my elder brother? I haven't even grown yet!" Sheng Zhiyao pouted her little mouth and acted coquettishly.

Sheng Hanmo looked at his sister and said, "Yes, Zhiyao will definitely be the most beautiful girl when she grows up. No one can compare with you!"

"Humph, you just know how to coax me. I can tell you that when I grow up, you will definitely not be prettier than me." Sheng Zhiyao said with a pout.

Sheng Hanmo couldn't help but laugh when he looked at her. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Sheng Zhiyao's head again and said, "Yes, my eldest brother will definitely not be prettier than you."
