The eastern capital has been established as a companion capital since the first Sui period, and was enshrined as the eastern capital in the hands of his father. Because my father and mother both loved polo, there were also two courts in Miyagi and the Imperial City, and my mother was now in the small court in Miyagi, and I saw her wearing a short shirt from afar, galloping on the field, stretching out her cue in the diagonal stab, and hooking the ball from under one person.

The more than ten people who accompanied her mother to play ball were all female deacons that her mother had always reused, and the Aqing lady and Shangguan Wan'er that Wei Huan mentioned were also impressively listed. These people saw that the mother snatched the ball, did not stop the horse, but slowly stopped the horse, first care about the shout, only Wan'er hurriedly chased a ride, the mother relaxed the reins and waited for her, Wan'er will catch up when suddenly urged the horse's belly, and instantly away from her, the mother smiled and looked back, jokingly dribbled the ball in the air, stepped off the horse galloped like the wind, but she hit dozens of times in a row and the horse galloped, to the goal is very close before swinging out, everyone let out a burst of earth-shattering cheers, but the ball can be rubbed off the side did not enter.

The cheers stopped abruptly, but they couldn't stop for a while, and then they heard someone laugh again: "The lady pities us sluts and is poor, and she kindly lets us, but unfortunately we are chasing after us now, but I am afraid that it will be too late." ”

At the beginning of this person, everyone also came to their senses, and smiled at their mothers: "We all know that the lady has pity on us, but we still can't catch up with it, so we simply reward us with some money, just as a winner's charity." ”

The mother said with a pale face, holding the club in one hand and holding the reins in the other hand around the goal, turning her head and laughing at this side: "A group of narrow ghosts, the ball is not good at playing, only know how to say good things to coax me!"

The one who spoke just now smiled and said: "What the lady said, winning the limelight, and rewards, who doesn't like it?" I really can't win, so I have to ask for some rewards with good words, and it's not in vain to work hard." ”

When I heard this, I looked at this person attentively, and saw that she was about the same age as Wan'er, and her appearance was above average, with a small round face, white skin, and she tilted her head when talking to her mother, and she looked quite innocent and pretty.

When her mother heard what she said, she burst out laughing: "Speaking of which, I still don't dare to compare with me." That's it, I won't rob you either, this ball is here, and whoever of you can snatch it out of here will win, the winner..."She waved her club slightly, her eyes swept over everyone's faces, and she said with a smile: "Give a purple collar." ”

Grandfather and father are quite strict in the harem, so although the outside atmosphere is gradually extravagant, the palace service etiquette is still rigorous, these female officials are no more than five grades, Su Ri has to wear a shallow scarlet, ordinary women, clothing and jewelry are inevitably obsessed, listen to the mother said to give purple clothes, all of them are bright, eager to try.

I had just walked slowly along the pitch towards the goal, and then I walked to the place, and saluted my mother from afar, and my mother looked at me, turned over and dismounted, took my hand and sat aside, ordered someone to serve some fruit and tea, took a leisurely sip, and asked me: "Who do you think will win?"

The more than ten people returned the favor to you and me, and I pushed your humility, and waited for my mother's order to start, I didn't think about it to guess Wan'er, and when I raised my eyes and saw her mount rolling over and over on the field, I couldn't help it, leaned forward, looked at it seriously, and said to the person who spoke, "I guess it's her." ”

The mother raised her eyebrows and said, "How can you see it?"

I laughed and said, "She rides the best horse." ”

The mother laughed and said, "According to you, the last time you played, why couldn't you compare to them?"

I thought a little in my heart, and deliberately said: "If it is normal, of course I can't look at it like this, but in today's situation, it is best to look at people with horses." ”

The mother seemed to be aware of this, raised her eyebrows and said, "Really?" but refused to ask.

I had the intention to show off, and when I saw that the first sentence didn't attract my mother, I said again: "A-Niang doesn't believe it, do you dare to gamble with me?"

The mother said simply: "A-Niang doesn't gamble, A-Niang also guesses that the group will win." ”

I didn't expect my mother to say it so bluntly, I was slightly stunned, and my mother suddenly burst into a big smile, reached out and pinched my face and said, "You little thing, calculated on your aunt's head, is your skin itchy?"

I pretended to beg for mercy, twisted my head into her arms, hugged her waist and said: "It was A-Niang herself who asked me to guess, so that people bothered to guess in vain, and if I guessed, I didn't give a reward, so I don't feel sorry." ”

The mother shook her head with a smile, looked up at the middle of the field and said, "It's getting dark, you guys should compete quickly." "The crowd started slowly.

The idea of the competition was given by my mother, but she didn't look at the field, she just lowered her head, stroked me and said: "Tell me how you guessed, if it is reasonable, you will be rewarded, if you just guess randomly, not only will you not be rewarded, but you will also be punished to copy the Buddhist scriptures." ”

I lay on my side in her arms, facing outward to watch the competition between the real and the fake, these people are the best of the best, the performance is really just right, the group wants to be the newly favored person, where she goes, the others are either pretending to lose the rod, or suddenly the reins are mistakenly reinforced, and she is called to go on a rampage, as if entering a no-man's land. I looked bored and yawned. Pouted and said: "Everyone else rides the horses of the outer stables, and she is the only one who rides the royal horses of the inner stables, who dares to rob her?"

My mother laughed, nodded my head and said, "You have grown." After laughing for a while, he said: "Tuan'er has merit, she should have been rewarded, and it is better to reward her with this reason, so as to save those villagers outside from talking again!"

I listened to my mother's meaning, and this group of people seemed to have some ulterior motives, so I couldn't help but look at her more, and at this time Tuan'er had grabbed the ball and dribbled with a club. Her batting skills are obviously inferior to her mother's, but she is better than being young and flexible, she dribbles the ball to the sidelines, dismounts and holds it, walks to her mother with the arrow, holds the ball high and kneels, and says with a smile: "Lai Majesty Xià Tian's grace, the concubine is fortunate to get this ball, I don't ask for a reward, I just ask Your Majesty to be blessed with heaven, thousands of years, and enjoy holy life forever." ”

Such flattering words entered my ears, and I only felt hypocritical, but my mother was very happy and said with a smile: "You don't read much, and this birthday greeting is very good." ”

Tuan'er smiled: "It's not a special reading to remember, it's the concubine who has been greatly gracious, inscribed in the heart, and thought of repayment, but Your Majesty is the queen of heaven, and the concubine has a humble body, and there is nothing to repay, so I can only pray from the bottom of my heart, and pray for His Majesty's holy life day and night, and may His Majesty enjoy happiness and grace for future generations." ”

Mother laughed and said, "It's good that you have such a heart." It's just that I have said it before, so naturally I can't go back. She only tilted her head, and before she looked to the side, Gao Yanfu had already brought out a purple robe and gave it to the group, and the rest of the people were rewarded differently, all of which were held out by the palace people and thanked them one by one.

I saw that the group was clearly a lucky person, but he was rewarded, and I was quite puzzled by what my mother was thinking, and I saw that Wan'er was walking a little awkwardly when she came up, so I was concerned, so I asked, "What's wrong with Master Shangguan?

Mother laughed and said, "If you come to the stadium every day and ride a horse for two hours, I'm afraid you will have to do the same." ”

I knew that Wan'er grew up in the court and didn't have much chance to learn to ride a horse, but I didn't know that with her talent, she still had to practice so hard, and I didn't feel surprised, Wan'er's face was slightly red, and she said in a low voice: "It's the concubine who is stupid and can't learn horsemanship." ”

The mother was relieved: "In just over a month, it is great that you can learn like this, and you don't have to be presumptuous." I learned to ride a horse that day, and I didn't learn as fast as you did. After saying that, as if he remembered something, he pinched my ears and said: "After the last time I surprised the horse, you Aya chose a teacher for you to learn riding skills, but you pushed back and only went to the school once on five or six days, huh?"
