Chapter 73: The Ink-lipped Lady
She glanced at Sheng Yunqing, her expression showing a bit of arrogance: "Miss Sheng, long time no see."

Sheng Yunqing raised his lips and smiled, "Yulan, why don't you wear that special color rouge today?"

Hearing this, Li Zhiwan and the noble ladies around her couldn't help but chuckle a few times with their hands covering their lips.

Ming Yulan clenched the hand holding the teacup tightly, bit her lip, and said coldly: "The capital doesn't know how to appreciate it, just change it back to its original appearance."

"How great is it that you can appreciate it?" Several noble ladies teased in a low voice.

"Don't be discouraged so easily. Good things take time. Some people may laugh at you now, but in the future they may use you as a benchmark. You will become the number one black-lipped person in Beijing, and everyone will admire you." Sheng Yunqing said sincerely.

Speaking of this, Sheng Yunqing remembered that someone gave Ming Yulan a nickname yesterday, calling her Lady Black Lips, which was really interesting.

Seeing that everyone was making fun of her, Ming Yulan said, "Sheng Yunqing, don't be so ungrateful. If it weren't for me, how could you have gotten the title of Forget-Your-Worries Talented Girl so easily?"

"Speaking of which, it's a pity that you didn't participate in the chess competition a few days ago. But you were reluctant to remove your black lips, but you were worried about scaring the princess of the neighboring country? In fact, if you had scared her, maybe Yun Qing wouldn't have to go to such great lengths to play chess, and you could have directly scared her away."

"You!" Sheng Yunqing actually looked down on her like that!
Sheng Yunqing sat beside her with a smile, watching the exciting game on the field.

Bai Qianci was in high spirits on the field. Amid the flying dust, he was wearing a white robe as pure as moonlight, spotless.

"Come on, cousin! Come on, cousin!" Sheng Yueying, who was sitting across an empty seat, stood up and clapped and cheered.

The game ended and Bai Qianci won.

He walked quickly to Sheng Yunqing, and the empty seat next to him was his.

"My cousin is so awesome! He beat Li Shang to a pulp!" Sheng Yueying's face was full of admiration, and she jumped for joy.

Sheng Yunqing raised his beautiful eyebrows, looked at Sheng Yueying, and said, "I've participated in so many competitions, why don't you cheer me on?"

Sheng Yueying snorted and made a face at Sheng Yunqing.

Sheng Yunqing glanced at her and said, "Didn't you yell for butter crab a few days ago? Didn't your uncle buy it for you? I've already asked the housekeeper to buy it this morning. If you don't want to eat it, dinner can be sent to my room."

Hearing this, Sheng Yueying's eyes lit up, and she quickly reached out and pulled her sleeve to curry favor with her, saying, "Oh, cousin, you're the best. When it's your turn to compete later, I'll definitely cheer you on!"

Hearing this, Sheng Yunqing raised his lips in satisfaction.

Sheng Yueying didn't call her sister like Sheng Qiuyao and Sheng Yi did, but still called her cousin in a polite manner. However, they were not biological sisters, so Sheng Yunqing didn't force her.

As long as she doesn't cause trouble for her in the mansion, she has become more and more fond of this sister.

Their relationship is much better now. Sheng Yunqing will supervise her homework and remember her preferences. After Sheng Qiuyao gets married, she will be a competent sister and take care of her younger sisters and brothers.

Hearing Sheng Yueying's surrender, Bai Qianci also laughed. He said to Sheng Yunqing, "Can Yunqing play polo? Qianci really wants to see your style."

Sheng Yunqing raised his lips and smiled, saying, "It's been a while since we last fought, I don't know if we've become strangers now."

Ming Yulan stood up and said coldly, "Sheng Yunqing, how about we compete with the last round?"

Sheng Yunqing turned his head to look at Ming Yulan, a smile flashed across his eyes, and said, "Okay."

At the beginning of a new competition, Sheng Yunqing changed her hairstyle and the wide sleeves were tied up by the arm rope. The girl in blue got on the horse neatly. She looked back habitually, looking for Ye Jinchen's figure in the seat.

The sunlight outlines her delicate features, making her look like a fairy far away from the heavens.

The breeze blew up her long hair, making her graceful and charming, and making countless men lose their minds.

Ye Jinchen looked at her, his obsidian eyes shining with a ray of light. In a trance, Sheng Yunqing was in a quiet and beautiful peach forest. The peach blossoms were flying in the air, but they lost their color in front of the girl.

He gently raised his beautiful thin lips and said, Qing'er, you are so beautiful.

"Ye Jinchen, don't even think about touching me anymore!"

Ye Jinchen's mind echoed with what Sheng Yunqing said to him that night. He suddenly came back to his senses and pursed his lips tightly. The arc that was originally raised in his eyes flattened and his eyes became dim.

"Your Highness, the Prime Minister asked when you are free as he has something important to discuss with you." Pei Xuan beside him said, bending over.

Ye Jinchen looked at Sheng Yunqing deeply and said, "Since you have something important to do, let's go."

Pei Xuan glanced at Sheng Yunqing and said, "Then Miss Sheng..."

"It doesn't matter. Without me here, she can concentrate on the battle." After he finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Sheng Yunqing watched him leave the table with disbelief in his eyes.

Was she seeing things right? He left only after she entered? !
"Hehe, did Miss Sheng have a conflict with the prince? She doesn't even want to watch your game any longer?" Ming Yulan felt disappointed when she saw Ye Jinchen leaving, but she did not forget to tease Sheng Yunqing.

Sheng Yunqing frowned slightly and said, "Prince Ye is busy with official business, so it is normal for him to leave the table rashly. Don't make a fuss about it."

Ming Yulan rode to her side, smiled and whispered, "Yunqing is right. Prince Ye has been busy with government affairs recently. Yulan knows this very well. Guess, is he going to the Prime Minister's Mansion or the First Assistant's Mansion? As far as I know, he hasn't been to the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion for a long time."

Sheng Yunqing narrowed his beautiful eyes, gripped the reins tightly, snorted softly, and said, "But as far as I know, Prince Ye has not set foot in the Prime Minister's Mansion in order to avoid a certain difficult young lady. Whenever the Prime Minister wants to talk to him, he goes to the palace himself."

"You!" Ming Yulan gritted her teeth, sneered, and said, "Whether King Ye is here or not, I will definitely defeat you today."

Sheng Yunqing raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's wait and see."

Ming Yulan glanced nonchalantly at the belly of the horse under Sheng Yunqing's seat, then turned away coldly, pulled the reins and led the horse to run towards her own position.

Sheng Yunqing noticed that the stirrup of his left foot was showing signs of loosening. He frowned slightly, then stood on tiptoe to test it, and found that it was loose.

She sneered, muttered a spell, gradually tightened the loose knot, and continued the competition as if nothing had happened.

After several confrontations, it was revealed that Ming Yulan was indeed an expert polo player, and was on par with Sheng Yunqing, with both of them narrowly winning several times.

"We have all seen Miss Ming's equestrian prowess, but we didn't know Miss Sheng was so good at it."

"Yes, Miss Sheng is very graceful. Not only is she an excellent equestrian, but her movements are also elegant and beautiful. Such a wonderful competition is really a rare visual feast."
