Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi
#617 - Xu Wu made a mistake, Gu Er Meng was reckless [Thank you! Goodbye! I owe you 42k more]
According to the date, it was the beginning of summer last month, which was the end of March.
The weather is getting warmer, and the lawn on the polo field is growing very lush because there are special people watering and fertilizing it. The green grass is very pleasing to the eye.
Although it's all green, when you look from the tent on the sidelines, you can vaguely see that the grass near the goal is a little sparse.
The reason is simply that horses have horseshoes on their hooves, and when playing polo, the goal is a place of fierce competition. The grass often 'dies' under the trampling of the horses' hooves.
Most of the bamboo curtains hanging in front of the tents beside the polo field have been rolled up and closed.
Sitting in the shade under the tent, it feels very comfortable when the breeze blows.
Because the queen was giving a lecture in front of the big tent at this time,
So in order to see the fun more clearly, the officials' wives, noble ladies and young ladies stood up and stood in front of the tent, leaning their heads to look towards the queen's tent.
In front of the tent on the sidelines, amidst the beautiful women in elegant attire,
Most of the wives of officials and noble ladies who had imperial decrees held round fans in their hands and had brightly colored shawls draped over their shoulders and arms.
The ladies dressed differently.
Some noble ladies wear expensive clothes with intricate embroidery and hand-knitted handkerchiefs of the finest material.
Some of them are dressed simply, freely and naturally, and hold exquisite round fans in their hands.
Surprisingly, there were also noble ladies who gave up their loose clothes and wide sleeves and wore only tight clothes, with a headband on their foreheads, a jade belt with jade pendants around their waists, their hair tied in a style similar to a man's bun, and they held a folding fan in their hands.
This noble lady looks gentle at first glance, but she has a heroic air, which is very eye-catching.
This noble lady must have known that Zhao Fang liked women who could shoot arrows, and inferred that Zhao Fang would take a second look at girls with heroic spirit, so she dressed like this.
Some of the ladies did not hold fans or handkerchiefs in their hands, but only held books that were opened and then rolled up. It seemed that they were reading.
Standing outside the tent,
The sunlight in the sky is a little dazzling.
Some of the ladies covered their mouths and noses with round fans and whispered with their companions.
Some people felt that the situation of Xu Zaijing and others was quite interesting, and put their handkerchiefs to their noses and smiled sweetly.
In front of the tent of Viscount Xie's family,
Three ladies stood there.
Two of them had their hair tied up in front of their foreheads and at the back of their necks, and it was obvious at first glance that they were married ladies.
Between the two ladies was the noblewoman dressed in tight clothes and pretending to be a man.
He looked out at the excitement in front of the Queen's tent.
The girl held the folding fan and said with a smile: "Second sister, is that your uncle, Xu Jia Wulang? He doesn't look as calm and polite as you said? He even scared the girl to tears."
Xie, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family, said with a faint smile, "Xiaowu has always been sensible! I have been married to the Xu family for so many years, and Xiaowu has rarely been naughty and deliberately scared other girls."
"I think it was one of those yamen brothers who was with Xiaowu who came up with a bad idea and got him into trouble."
The girl smiled and looked to the other side, saying, "Third sister, is what Second sister said true? Is she biased towards her own uncle?"
Xie Rui smiled and shook her head and said, "Sister Yun, the fifth brother of the Xu family is a good person. It snowed heavily in Bianjing for several days before, and the snow was so thick. If he hadn't come to our house to deliver coal..."
Listening to Xie Rui's description, the girl nodded slightly: "Oh, so Xu Jia Wulang is a very good man."
The girl who was speaking was Xie Yun, the daughter of the main branch of the Jiangnan Xie family.
The ancestors of Viscount Xie came from the Xie family in Jiangnan. Although they settled in Bian Jing and kept their family tree separate after being conferred the title of Viscount, they had maintained contact with the Xie family in Jiangnan over the years.
Not only that, the two branches also have many interests in common.
The Xie family in Jiangnan has been a family of officials for generations. When outstanding scholars come to Beijing to take the imperial examinations, they will also live in the Viscount Xie's house.
This year, the prince Zhao Fang is choosing a concubine. As a prominent family in Jiangnan, the Xie family is a family of scholars and their legitimate daughters are also eligible to participate in the selection.
"Seeing that they were punished by the Queen herself, I think they must have prominent family backgrounds and are favored by the royal family." Xie Yun continued.
"Sister Yun is right. To the left of Brother Xu Wu is Ningyuan Hou Gu Jia Erlang, and to the left is..."
Listening to Xie Rui's introduction, Xie Yun smiled and nodded, "So they are all sons of nobles, no wonder!"
"Third sister, I know Liang Liulang and Qiao Jiulang! When I first came to Beijing, I saw their names on the wooden board of the 'Bianjing Polo Ranking' over there."
"But I have never seen the names of Xu Wulang, Gu Erlang and Young Master Qi! You said they are still studying. Are they really that good at playing polo?"
Listening to Xie Yun's question, Xie Rui nodded and said, "Sister, their ball skills are better than we say!"
"Are they better than the children of the Han, Lu, and Ma families who are at the top of the 'Polo Dragon and Tiger List'? I've seen them play polo before, and their skills are quite good!" Xie Yun continued to ask.
Xie Rui smiled and said, "Of course. The envoys from Northern Liao and Jin played in this game. The ones my sister mentioned..."
After Xie Rui finished speaking,
"Cool"
Xie Yun threw open his folding fan, fanning himself with interest, and said, "Bianjing is indeed a place of hidden talents. I thought those few families were the best, but I didn't expect there are still masters! I wonder if I will have a chance to see them today."
Xie smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister Yun, my little five will definitely go on stage today."
Seeing Xie Yun's puzzled look, Xie continued, "Mrs. Wu came to my house two days ago and talked a lot with my mother-in-law! Xiaowu came today to let the ladies who have just arrived in Beijing pay attention, so that it will be convenient for Mrs. Wu in the future..."
After listening to what Xie said, Xie Yun was surprised and asked, "You actually have such considerations?"
Xie smiled and nodded.
"It looks like the matter is over." Xie Rui on the side said, pointing in the direction of the queen's tent.
In front of the Queen's tent,
After Xu Zaijing and the others straightened their clothes carefully, they bowed in a fairly orderly manner towards the noble ladies of the Gao and Cao families and expressed their apologies with their hands clasped.
The girl from the Gao family, whose eyes were red from crying, bowed to Xu Zaijing and others in a standard manner, meaning that she accepted their apologies.
Seeing this, the Queen waved her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, let's all go."
Xu Zaijing and the others hurriedly bowed again, as if they had been pardoned, and said, "Thank you, Queen."
Seeing the queen no longer paying attention to them and turning her back to the big tent, Xu Zaijing and others hurriedly dispersed to the big tent.
Mrs. Wu has not been idle these days.
Relying on his connections and reputation, he got to know almost all the noble ladies who had just arrived in Beijing.
So at this time, Madam Wu was also standing near the Queen, so that she could introduce the noble ladies who would come on stage later.
Not far from the Queen's tent is the British Duke's tent.
Zhang Jia Wu Niang and several of her close friends stood in front of the tent, looking at Xu Zaijing and the others who were approaching. Since you bowed first, then smiled and said, "Zong'er! Have you become a little stutterer today? 'No, no, I have been taught a lot' You turned the words around really quickly!"
"I thought you were going to say 'I didn't teach you that!'"
Others near the Zhang family's tent who heard this started laughing.
Lu Zezong lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly and whispered, "I, I didn't do anything. I just showed my brother's fishing rod to that sister."
Zhang Jia Wu Niang smiled and asked, "Brother Xu Wu, did you catch any fish today?"
Xu Zaijing smiled and said, "Although I didn't put it in the bucket, I still caught a fish, after all, I pulled it out of the water."
Zhang Jia Wu Niang was surprised and asked, "Ah? Brother Xu Wu, this doesn't count, right?"
Gu Tingye interrupted and said, "Isn't it true that Wulang finally caught a fish, but someone shot an arrow and the fishing line was cut and fell back into the water. Where can he go to seek justice?"
Liang Han, Qi Heng and others nodded, expressing their agreement and sympathy.
Gu Tingyi beside Wu Niang said, "Is it because of this that you, second brother, scared Miss Gao into tears?"
Xu Zaijing glanced at Gu Tingye and the others and said with a smile: "How could that be! I'm not that kind of person!"
Gu Tingye curled his lips and said, "Brother Jing, please stop it! You have already laid on the ground to cooperate with us! Without you, we will not be able to do this."
Seeing the look in Xu Zaijing's eyes, Gu Tingye immediately said seriously: "Hey! Brother Jing is right, you really don't have that idea, it's all my fault."
After saying this, Gu Tingye didn't dare to look at Xu Zaijing again, and instead said to Gu Tingyi: "Sister, are you in the British public tent today?"
Gu Tingyi nodded and smiled: "Brother, the four of us will play polo together later, so we won't separate!"
Chai Zhengzheng and Rong Feiyan, who were beside Gu Tingyi, also smiled and nodded.
Zhang Jia Wu Niang at the side said with a smile: "Second Brother Gu, are you going to play polo today?"
Gu Tingye didn't say anything, but just looked at Liang Liulang beside him.
Liang Han understood and said with a smile: "Yes, yes! Jing Ge'er and the others will go on the court and play a few clubs later."
"But Second Brother Gu and Fifth Brother Xu are well-known, no one should dare to challenge them, right?" Wu Niang continued to ask.
"If no one challenges, Second Brother Gu and Fifth Brother Xu will each bring one person up to the field to fight." Liang Han said with a smile.
The four girls smiled and nodded.
In the Queen's tent, Madam Wu, who was already sitting on an embroidered cushion, looked at Xu Zaijing and others who were talking not far away, and leaned forward slightly to say a few words to the Queen.
When Xu Zaijing and others were about to move forward and prepare to sit down in the Liang family tent, a female official in the big tent behind them quickly caught up with them.
"Gentlemen, please stay." The female official shouted crisply.
Xu Zaijing and others looked back.
Seeing that it was the lady-in-waiting beside the Queen, Gu Tingye looked at Xu Zaijing with an unnatural expression, his eyes full of the expression of 'Brother Jing, nothing will happen again, right?'
After shaking his head slightly at Gu Tingye, Xu Zaijing, Qi Heng and others bowed and waited for the female official to speak.
After the female official returned the greeting to Xu Zaijing and the others, she smiled and said, "My dear gentlemen, the Queen said that you all have excellent polo skills, so today we will let you play a game first. This will warm up the atmosphere for the noble ladies who will come later."
Everyone bowed in response.
After the female official nodded in return, she turned sideways and bowed to Zhang Jia Wu Niang, Chai Zhengzheng and others.
Chai Zhengzheng and others hurriedly returned the gift.
The female official smiled and said, "After the gentlemen score ten goals, the four girls will go on the field! Maybe you can prepare in advance."
"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Lady Official." Chai Zhengzheng and others responded with a smile.
The female official smiled slightly, nodded in return to the four noble ladies who saluted, and walked towards another tent.
"Sister, which girl is your opponent today?" Gu Tingye asked with his head tilted.
Gu Tingyi, Chai Zhengzheng and the others looked at each other and said with a smile, "They are the ones who don't get along with you, brother."
Gu Tingye raised his eyebrows and said, "Understood."
"Brothers, let's go and prepare first." Zhang Jiawu Niang said with a smile.
Xu Zaijing and others nodded.
When Chai Zhengzheng and the others entered the tent,
Gu Tingye said: "Wulang, how do we fight?"
Xu Zaijing turned his head to look at Qi Heng and Liang Han, and said, "I'll take Yuan Ruo, and you and Liu Lang, two against two."
Qi Heng and Liang Han looked at each other and said in unison: "Okay!"
Opposite each big tent,
In the stables where the horses are kept,
Alan looked at Xu Zaijing who was waving near the queen's tent in the distance, and turned his head to shout, "Xunshu, the young master is waving, lead the dragon horse out."
"good!"
Xunshu said this as he untied the reins of the dark brown dragon colt with a complete saddle and led it out.
Today, the dragon colt's bridle is inlaid with gold and jade.
The mane and tail on the slender neck are neatly braided.
Fixed on the back is a Northern Liao saddle carefully made by a master craftsman.
The saddle pads that hang down to the belly are also gorgeous and exquisite.
He just showed up far away next to the stable, which attracted many people in the big tent to look over.
Near the Queen's Tent,
The two from the Cao and Gao families sat below the queen.
Together with Zhao Fang, he looked at Xu Zaijing and others who were standing not far away.
At this time, Qingyun and Qingcao had already walked over quickly with headbands, polo sticks and armbands, and were tying the sleeves of Xu Zaijing's clothes.
Gu Tingye, Qi Heng and others standing nearby were in the same situation.
By the time everyone had finished getting ready, the servants from each family had already brought their mounts over.
Xu Zaijing's mount, Xiaoliju, was an uncastrated male horse, full of energy and wild in its movements like a beast.
This dark brown dragon colt is tall but extremely well-proportioned and graceful. It runs swiftly and its four hooves seem to have a different rhythm.
When it came to Xu Zaijing, Longju blinked its bright eyes, moved its head a few times, and then put its nose into Xu Zaijing's raised palm and rubbed it affectionately.
Suddenly,
He heard the sound of footsteps behind him. Xu Zaijing looked back and found that it was Zhao Fang who stood up and walked towards him.
"Your Highness."
Xu Zaijing and others bowed in greeting.
Zhao Fang waved his hand: "Everyone, please stand up."
As he spoke, Zhao Fang came to Xu Zaijing and looked at Longju's bright eyes with a smile on his face.
"Brother Jing, I actually saw a look of curiosity in his eyes! Is he curious?" Zhao Fang said to Xu Zaijing with a look of surprise.
Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, Your Highness, it is curious."
"Hahaha! It's really a good horse!" Zhao Fang waved his hand behind him and said, "Bring the plate of cherries over here."
The female official in the big tent responded hastily and brought a plate of fruit at the Queen's signal.
Looking at the approaching female official, Zhao Fang turned his head to look at Xu Zaijing and said, "Brother Jing, is it okay for the horse to eat cherries?"
Xu Zaijing nodded: "It's okay to eat two after removing the core, but don't eat more."
Zhao Fang smiled and nodded. When the cherries were brought to him, Zhao Fang, who had no knife, took three cherries and waved his hand to signal the female official to leave.
Then Zhao Fang looked at Xu Zaijing with a smile.
Xu Zaijing reached out to take the cherry, broke it in half with a little force, pulled out the core and handed it to Zhao Fang.
After feeding him three cherries, Zhao Fang took the towel handed over by the female official with a smile, wiped his hands and said, "Brother Jing, come on stage!"
The girl from the Gao family, who was sitting below the queen, looked at the interaction between Xu Zaijing and Zhao Fang in front of the tent, turned around with some confusion, and whispered, "Your Highness, it seems that His Highness and the young man from the Xu family have a very good relationship?"
The Queen smiled and nodded: "They have always gotten along well. Fang'er liked playing with the Xu brother when he was a child."
"Oh! No wonder! Look at the horse from the Xu family, it's really handsome." The girl from the Gao family said with a smile.
Sister Cao Jiazhi, who was standing by, whispered, "Brother Xu Wu has two horses like this. I heard that they were both gifts from the Northern Liao royal family."
"A thank-you gift? Why would the Northern Liao royal family give a thank-you gift to the Xu family's boy?" the Gao family girl asked puzzledly.
After the Queen explained a few words in a low voice, Miss Gao looked at Xu Zaijing who had already ridden on the stage in surprise and said, "There is such a tortuous story in it."
Zhao Fang walked back to the big tent, smiled and nodded at the queen, then sat on the other side of the queen.
Looking sideways at the girl from the Gao family whose expression of surprise had not yet faded, Zhao Fang said, "I heard from my uncle that cousin Taotao has always liked fine horses. Maybe she can go to the Yongyi Marquis's mansion to ride a few horses when she has time in the future."
The Gao family girl was talking, shaking her head and saying, "Your Highness, this is not a good idea."
Zhao Fang smiled and said, "Jing'er has rarely ridden those two dragon horses! Besides, besides Jing'er, there are also other noble ladies in the capital who have ridden them, such as..."
Zhao Fang deliberately didn't say who it was. Seeing the two ladies' curious expressions, he deliberately paused for a while. When he was about to speak,
Madam Wu stood up and looked at the Queen.
The queen smiled and nodded.
Then,
"when"
After a gong sounded outside the tent, the polo match, which was of a performance nature, officially began.
The girl from the Gao family also looked outside the tent.
This made Zhao Fang sigh helplessly.
After a moment, Miss Taotao looked at Zhao Fang and whispered to the queen, "Your Highness, has anyone ever been to the Yongyi Marquis's mansion to ride a horse?"
Zhao Fang smiled and said, "The fifth lady from the Duke of Ying's mansion has been there, as well as the girls from the Gu, Chai, and Rong families."
Hearing this, Miss Taotao smiled and nodded, saying, "I have met and talked to these ladies that Your Highness mentioned several times! What a coincidence, they all like riding horses and shooting arrows!"
Zhao Fang nodded with a smile in his eyes.
"In that case, it wouldn't be rude for me to go to the Xu family. Maybe I can go with them!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
As she spoke, Miss Taotao from the Gao family looked at Zhao Fang with some confusion in her eyes.
Zhao Fang seemed to understand what his cousin meant and smiled, "These two horses were given to Jing'er by Bei Liao! Since Jing'er likes fine horses, father will not take away what he likes."
Hearing Zhao Fang express the doubts in his mind, Gao's daughter Taotao was not only surprised but also delighted.
"Moreover, my father also said that it would be a pity for such a good horse to be trained as a royal horse in the Tiansi Prison. It would be best for it to run freely in the Xu family racecourse. After a few years, the dragon colt of Northern Liao, haha, will naturally be a good horse of our Great Zhou!"
Looking at Zhao Fang who was speaking, Miss Taotao of the Gao family said with admiration in her eyes: "Your Majesty and Your Highness are so ambitious and I admire them very much."
Zhao Fang smiled and looked at his cousin, then nodded.
The Queen Mother, who was sitting in the middle, looked at the conversation between the two juniors, a smile already appeared on her lips.
The ancestor of the Gao family was a famous general of the founding of the country. He once served as the commander-in-chief of the palace and his family was prominent.
The biological mother of Miss Taotao of the Gao family is also the queen's cousin, so they are very close.
Miss Taotao comes from a family of military generals and nobles. She will become the Crown Princess and then the future Queen, which will be beneficial to both the Gao and Cao families.
In the polo field,
Since it is a warm-up exhibition game,
Xu Zaijing and others on the field naturally did not try their best to resist the snatch as before.
Without confrontation, Xu Zaijing and others played polo and rode horses in the most gorgeous and eye-catching ways.
For example, Gu Tingye defended Xu Zaijing,
The two men and their horses seemed to be stuck together, running side by side around the court, sometimes running straight and fast, and sometimes turning at a very small angle.
This would mean that on the battlefield, the cavalry general and his comrades would shoot a wave of arrows on horseback, then lead their cavalry to quickly change direction and prepare for another attack.
The cavalry of the opposing sides will naturally be more compact and coordinated, with a smaller turning angle, so they will be able to adjust their formation faster and launch the next attack.
Sometimes, Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye would also make very long passes.
Qi Heng or Liang Han will directly volley and shoot.
As far as playing polo is concerned, Qi Heng has not practiced as much as Liang Han.
Therefore, no matter how comfortable Xu Zaijing's polo passes were, Liang Han still scored more goals.
"Thump, thump, thump"
Amid the sound of horse hooves,
Xu Zaijing rode on the back of a running dragon colt, chasing the polo ball and came to a place some distance away from the tents of each family.
Looking at Gu Tingye who was already sweating slightly, Xu Zaijing shouted, "Erlang, what are you thinking about?"
Gu Tingye licked his lips and said, "Wulang, have you seen the Yu family's tent?"
Xu Zaijing picked up the polo ball with one stroke, and hit the ball in mid-air with a little force in a freehand manner.
Looking at the polo ball flying towards Qi Heng like a meteor, he shouted, "I saw it, what's wrong?"
Gu Tingye: "Wulang, I, you, I want"
Seeing Gu Tingye stuttering, Xu Zaijing rolled his eyes and said, "You don't want to pull the polo ball into the Yu family's tent?"
Gu Tingye glared and nodded, "Wulang, how did you guess that? That's what I thought!"
While riding his horse at full speed, Gu Tingye raised his eyebrows with interest and continued, "Now that Polo has entered the Yu family's tent, I have a reason to deal with the Yu family! I can apologize or something! This way, there will be opportunities."
Xu Zaijing shook his head helplessly and said, "What if you use too much force and hit someone?"
Gu Tingye said confidently: "Are you still not confident about my ball skills?"
"Erlang, don't you think that even if you can't hit anyone, if you scare the girl, won't your reckless impression be even deeper?"
"Who taught you this method?"
Looking at Qi Heng and Liang Han in the distance, Gu Tingye scratched his head: "Liu Lang and I discussed this."
“Bang!”
After hearing a crisp sound of something hitting the door frame in the distance, Qi Heng shouted with some regret.
Liang Han stepped forward and grabbed the polo ball under the pole, then swung the club and passed the ball back.
Looking at the flying polo ball, Xu Zaijing said, "Erlang, you and Liulang switch positions. I'll pass the ball to the Yu family's tent, and you go to block it. Wouldn't that make a better impression on the Yu family?"
"That's right!" Gu Tingye shouted with a look of sudden realization.
Then,
The polo ball was intercepted by Xu Zaijing and passed back again.
"Ji Lang, what are you doing!"
Liang Han's voice came from afar.
Gu Tingye quickly raised the club and shouted, "Mine, mine! Liu Lang, let's switch."
Upon hearing this.
Liang Han: “Ah!?”
Qi Heng: "Ah!?"
My eyes followed the polo ball flying out of the field.
Qi Heng said again: "Second uncle, he is bullying me!"
Liang Han on the side also scratched his head, looking at the five-on-three flag on the sidelines, and said, "How can I and Jing Ge fight for the ball?"
Then,
Restart.
The sound of fierce horse hooves was heard again on the polo field.
After several rounds of fighting, neither side was able to score a goal. After all, Qi Heng and Liang Han, who received the ball, were always intercepted by the masters around them.
After another struggle, the polo ball was passed high up by Xu Zaijing.
“Wow!”
Seeing the polo ball flying so high, the people watching on the sidelines exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Tingye, who was riding at full speed, looked at the polo ball in the air, made an estimate in his mind, secretly praised his good brother, and then ran towards the place where the polo ball would land.
No surprises,
Yu Jiayanran, who was standing outside the tent, retreated in panic when she noticed the polo ball coming towards her tent.
Without waiting for Yu Yanran and the maid beside her to shout, Gu Tingye stretched out his polo club high up and stopped the polo ball two feet outside the Yu family's tent.
After stopping the polo,
Gu Tingye smiled somewhat smugly, raised his eyebrows, and raised his chin towards Yu Yanran.
Gu Tingye's action made everyone in front of the surrounding tents look at Yu Yanran.
“Oh~”
"Tsk~"
Feeling the gazes of those around her, Yu Yanran, who was originally grateful to Gu Tingye, stomped her feet in shame and anger, glared at Gu Tingye angrily, lowered her head, turned around and ran back into the tent.
Seeing this scene, Gu Tingye was stunned.
Before he could react, Qi Heng came near him, knocked the polo ball away and ran towards him.
Later on, Gu Tingye lost his form and was finally beaten full ten points by Xu Zaijing and Qi Heng, winning smoothly.
As the crowd rode their horses from the center of the field to the edge,
Xu Zaijing unbuttoned his belt while looking at Gu Tingye and said, "Erlang, I passed the ball so well just now, and you blocked it beautifully! Why did Miss Yu go into the tent and not come out? What were you doing there?"
Liang Han on the side suddenly realized: "Oh! No wonder we want to change, it turns out that the two brothers have this plan! It's better than my idea! What a pity..."
Qi Heng also understood what happened and looked at Gu Tingye curiously.
"I, I just raised my eyebrows and lowered my chin at Miss Yu." Gu Tingye said with some regret.
"You raised your eyebrows in public? Erlang, you..." Xu Zaijing shook his head helplessly and continued, "I hope that what you did will not affect Miss Yu's reputation."
"In our opinion, Erlang, you just raised your eyebrows and chin, but in the mouths of women who don't get along with Miss Yanran, they might say that Miss Yanran hooked up with you, Gu Erlang, and even flirted with you on the court today!"
“Tsk!”
After saying that, Xu Zaijing sighed with some regret.
He originally wanted to give his friend an "assist" so that he could leave a good impression on Yu Yanran.
But by doing this, Gu Tingye has become Xu Zaijing's accomplice in affecting Yu Yanran's reputation, even though he did not do it on purpose.
Xu Zaijing shook his head with a stern face and said, "Miss Yanran lost her mother at a young age and has no mother to support her."
Gu Tingye looked at Xu Zaijing with an apologetic look in his eyes and said, "If there is something wrong, I will ask Tingyi to help protect it. If it doesn't work, I will ask my mother to go to the Yu family to propose marriage!"
Xu Zaijing sighed and said, "That's a good idea! Let's try to remedy the situation. I'll talk to my sister-in-law and the others when I get home."
Liang Han hurriedly said, "I'll say a few words to mother too! She will definitely not let Miss Yu suffer any injustice outside."
Qi Heng on the side also said a few words.
As we drew near to the Queen's tent,
Xu Zaijing and others dismounted, asked their personal servants to take the horses away, and then bowed and saluted the empress and Prince Zhao Fang.
While paying his respects, Xu Zaijing pursed his lips and looked at the Queen and Zhao Fang with a pleading look in his eyes.
The Queen naturally knew what happened in front of the Yu family's tent.
The queen looked at the four people in front of the tent, took one more look at Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye, and said, "You fought well, go and take a rest."
Xu Zaijing and others bowed in response.
When I went to the Liang family tent,
The girls from the Chai, Rong, Gu and Zhang families, who had already tied their straps and were holding polo clubs, were coming towards Xu Zaijing and others.
After the two gangs approached, Gu Tingyi glared at Gu Tingye and said, "Second brother, why are you like this! You are in trouble! Mother already knows what you did just now!"
Gu Tingye: "Ah? I"
Zhang Jia Wu Niang frowned and said, "Second Brother Gu, Fifth Brother Xu, you two are really bad!"
Xu Zaijing hesitated and said, "No, I."
Chai Zhengzheng and Rong Feiyan, who were following behind, looked at Xu Zaijing with a little difference in their eyes than usual.
When the two groups of people crossed each other,
Rong Feiyan and Chai Zhengzheng both turned around and looked at Xu Zaijing.
After thinking it over, Rong Feiyan said softly, "In fact, Brother Xu Wu probably didn't expect Brother Gu Er to be so reckless."
Chai Zhengzheng glanced at Rong Feiyan and nodded in agreement.
Gu Tingyi looked at how close they were to the Queen's tent, so he didn't say anything.
Arriving in front of the big tent,
Chai Zhengzheng and the other four girls, together with the four rival girls, bowed to the queen.
Zhao Fang, who was sitting next to the Queen, looked at Chai Zhengzheng and Rong Feiyan, and a smile appeared on his lips.
The girl Taotao standing by looked at Zhao Fang with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Afterwards, Zhao Fang noticed her gaze and looked at her without a trace of panic in his eyes. Instead, he understood the confusion in her eyes.
The queen looked at the eight girls in front of the tent and said with a smile, "Remember to put safety first in today's game and don't hurt the harmony."
Chai Zhengzheng and others hurriedly responded.
The queen smiled and nodded, "Then let's get ready to start."
Soon, the personal servants of each family brought the ladies' mounts over.
These eight were all from wealthy families, so the saddles, bridles and harnesses of their mounts were naturally extremely exquisite and had many decorations.
When everyone is ready on their horses, a gong sounds and the polo game begins.
In between playing ball,
Gu Tingyi chatted with the other three for a few minutes, and the content was that the Bai family had actually been inquiring about Miss Yu before.
Among the four, Zhang Jia Wu Niang and Gu Tingyi are very good at polo, Chai Zhengzheng is slightly inferior, and Rong Feiyan is at the bottom in terms of skills.
But their opponents' skills are only slightly better than Rong Feiyan's.
The incense sticks on the sidelines had just burned halfway, and Chai Zhengzheng had already gained an irreversible advantage.
In the big tent,
The Queen Mother looked at Zhang Jia Wu Niang's wonderful goal on the field, smiled and clapped softly.
After putting down your hands,
The queen looked at Miss Taotao who was standing beside her and said, "Taotao, did you see the look in Xu Wulang's eyes just now?"
"Your Highness, I saw that Xu Wulang seemed to be asking you for help. He probably wanted you to help protect the reputation of the eldest daughter of the Yu family."
The Queen nodded approvingly and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"
Miss Taotao thought for a moment and said, "I heard that this girl has outstanding embroidery skills. Why don't I invite her over to have a chat and exchange embroidery skills with her?"
"With Sister Zhi from my grandparents here, the four girls on the field will surely be happy to help. With us here, those possible rumors will naturally be refuted."
After saying this, Miss Taotao looked at the Queen and asked, "My Queen, what do you think?"
The Queen nodded with a smile in her eyes and said, "That's a good idea! But, you can also ask Madam Gu what she thinks first."
Looking at the lady-in-waiting who was walking over with a smile on her face, the queen said, "Maybe there will be another happy event."
