Soon at the end of September, the polo match was organized by Empress Zhao alone, and the relatives of the princes and ministers were very enthusiastic to participate.

There are princes, there are daughters with excellent equestrian skills, most of them are unmarried men and women, and now Emperor Zhaokang's harem is empty, and many people who want to take shortcuts are all under the idea of sending their daughters to the palace, so the opportunity to show their faces will naturally not be missed.

Empress Zhao naturally wanted to participate, and her team included her sister Zhao Yishu, as well as several sisters of their Zhao family, among which there were two male teammates, Empress Zhao's cousin Lu Liang, and one of his cousins.

Lu Liang was originally the head of the guards around King Wu, and now that King Wu is the emperor, he has also become a guard with a sword in front of the emperor, but the position of the commander of the Praetorian Guard is held by Wu Jinfu, even if Queen Zhao has the intention to let Lu Liang take the throne, she is not enough.

After Bai Lian heard about this polo match, she was originally eager to try, but later learned that it was handled by Queen Zhao, and she instantly lost her mind.

Now in Bai Lian's eyes, as long as everything related to Queen Zhao is disgusting.

The polo match was held very grandly, the emperor and queen were full of interest, and the ministers were also very enthusiastic.

Queen Zhao held this polo match, in addition to being in the limelight, but also to let people see her other side, when she was in Wudi, she was the most dazzling one in the polo match.

She saw Bai Lian in a riding uniform in Gu Mansion that day, and she had the idea of competing in her heart, but she didn't expect Bai Lian to participate.

However, even if she didn't participate, Queen Zhao also sent the people around her to go to Gu's mansion, for fear that she wouldn't be able to resign that day, and then Gu Yan would not be beautiful if she didn't attend.

The queen sent people from her cronies to invite her, although it was not a decree, but if she didn't go, it wouldn't be good.

So, on that day, Bai Lian went with Gu Yan.

Emperor Zhao Kangdi sat in the first place, and below him was Gu Yan's position, Bai Lian rarely attended any occasion with Gu Yan, and as soon as he entered, he attracted everyone's attention.

Gu Yan was dressed in a prince's dress embroidered with gold, and the obsidian crown tied up his hair, which became more and more cold and handsome with his facial features.

The white lotus beside him was wearing a long skirt with a high waist and moon white, the long skirt reached the ground, and the outside was a pale yellow wide-sleeved brocade robe, with wide cuffs and the edge of the robe, embroidered with a pattern of magnolia flowers with dark silk threads.

The wide sleeves are light, the skirt is pleated, the waist is exquisite, and the moon pearls are in the ears.

The white face, the indifferent look, the corners of the lips are curved, but people only feel an indescribable majesty, and there is no smile in the slightest.

It's just that her outfit is extremely simple, with a cloud bun on her head, a hosta hairpin, and a pair of magnolia flowers on the side.

In this way, she stood beside Gu Yan, who was compelling and majestic, and was not suppressed by his momentum at all, but complemented each other, as if they were a natural husband and wife.

After Gu Yan and Emperor Zhao Kang met the ceremony, they sat down below, the position of the white lotus was on Gu Yan's side, Emperor Zhao Kangdi saw the white lotus for the first time, and he had heard it before, the princess regent is a beauty who is hard to find, and she really lives up to her name, not to mention that it is difficult to find, it is his own queen Zhao Yining, whether it is appearance or bearing, there is a gap with this princess.

However, Emperor Zhao Kang only glanced at it, and after waiting for Gu Yan and Bai Lian to sit down, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the middle of the field.

Empress Zhao was dressed in a red riding uniform at this time, riding a brown horse of a divine steed, and looked at Emperor Zhao Kang's side.

With a smile on his face, Emperor Zhao waved his hand to the waiter behind him, and then the waiter began to read the list of participants this time.

Gu Yan is not interested in such a polo game, this is an activity among the aristocracy, he has not seen it in the northwest since he was a child, and later he was in the military camp, if it is said that he is going into battle to kill the enemy, he is proficient in arranging troops, but he is not interested in controlling the ball immediately.

Therefore, Gu Yan didn't watch the scene, but just drank the light wine on the case.

Bai Lian listened to the list read by the chamberlain, needless to say, Empress Zhao's team was naturally mostly brought by her from Wu Di, Bai Lian listened to the fact that several princesses in the palace also had a team, and it was still led by De Jong, Bai Lian listened, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.

Although she has no sisterhood in this life, knowing that she is okay now is better than anything else.

There are also several teams, including clan relatives and nobles, and ministers' children, a total of six teams.

At the beginning, it was De Jong's team and the other one, Bai Lian looked at her with great interest, Gu Yan looked at her from the side, saw that she was so interested, and asked, "Do you like it?" ”

Bai Lian raised her chin unconsciously, and said with a proud face: "Of course, you see"

Bai Lian pointed to Gu Yan in the direction of De Rong and said, "I used to be the leader of the princess team. ”

Gu Yan just glanced at the field, then looked at her smug look, thinking about her demeanor on the horse, a wanton flying her appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help laughing: "That must be invincible and invincible." ”

Bai Lian retracted her gaze, looked at Gu Yan, and said with a smile: "Of course." ”

Later, I heard Gu Yan add: "I don't look at whose woman it is." ”

White Lotus: ""

At this time, the winner has been decided, De Jong's team won, this is no suspense, the princess of the Zhou Dynasty, since she was a child, has learned the six arts, is good at riding, is incomparable to many daughters of the family.

Since Bai Lian was interested, Gu Yan accompanied her to watch it, watched it, and already understood.

It's just a game on the fly, and it's about the tacit understanding between the players, and of course, if it's yourself, you don't need others to cooperate.

He came and went freely in thousands of troops, not to mention the arena of one or twenty people.

When she arrived at Queen Zhao's team, Bai Lian also watched it, and saw the way she controlled the ball, Bai Lian thought, her riding skills are also good, but there are two men in her team, which obviously plays a great role, and there are also men in other teams, but most of them are restrained, and they are more humble to the other party's female players, and the two men in Queen Zhao's team will not be humble.

The female team members are right, and they suffer very much.

Especially one person, his skills are not bad, most of them are intercepted by him, and then passed to Queen Zhao, and then she rushed over with the ball.

Bai Lian watched it like this a few times, and Queen Zhao and the man had a tacit understanding, and the other party basically didn't even have a chance to touch the ball.

Bai Lian didn't know the man, so she turned her head sideways and asked Gu Yan, "Who is that person?" ”

Gu Yan glanced at it and said, "That person's name is Lu Liang, he is the commander of His Majesty's close guard, and he is the Queen's cousin. ”

Bai Lian nodded, pointed at Lu Liang with him and said: "This team is actually supported by this Lu Liang, even if the Zhao family has the ball in hand, it is Lu Liang who rushes to the opponent's stronghold left and right. Her riding skills are good, but if there is no Lu Liang in this team, they may not be able to score so smoothly. ”

Gu Yan can also see that this Lu Liang is making green leaves for Empress Zhao, and for these, especially those related to Empress Zhao, Gu Yan is noncommittal, and he doesn't bother to look at them again.

The tournament went on and at the end of the day there were only two teams left.

It was the team of Empress Zhao and Zhou Derong.

Queen Zhao's team is like what Bai Lian said just now, it does have a great advantage, but Zhou Derong's team should not be underestimated, these princesses of the royal family and the prince of the county are also excellent equestrian since childhood, and the polo matches they participated in do not know how to go, and it is not certain who will die in the end.

Zhou Hongren looked at Gu Yan and his wife whispering something, and said with a smile:

"What does the Lord Regent think of the remaining two teams in the field? Who can take the lead? ”

Bai Lian listened, and said in her heart: It's really hypocritical, don't you understand that you want others to praise your wife!

Gu Yan said very seriously: "If the queen's command is determined, there is a tacit understanding with the team members. The princesses also rode well, and the event was very exciting. ”

Gu Yan praised both sides, but didn't say who took the lead.

Zhou Hongren laughed a few times, and then said: "It is indeed a rare event, in this way, I got a box of Dongzhu some time ago, all of them are the size of a dragon's eye, and the color is very good, there are eighteen of them, and I will add these as colorful heads and reward them to the person who won the championship." ”

Gu Yan complimented him twice, and then didn't speak again.

Everyone watched the field, and as the ball landed, both teams rushed over. First of all, a county king of the De Jong team grabbed the ball, followed by Lu Liang and rode up, intending to grab the ball, and then saw that Princess De Jong had already ridden to the front of him, so he passed the ball over, and Lu Liang intercepted the ball again, and they passed the ball to each other like this, and they couldn't help them for a while.

In Empress Zhao's team, Lu Liang and Empress Zhao's riding skills are the best, others just cooperate, the team in front is too unchallenging, and Lu Liang knows some kung fu, those people are naturally not opponents.

Now, he is facing princes and princesses, and some private means naturally can't be used, that is, he knows kung fu, and the ball can't reach his hand, so he wants to grab it, but he is passed away by someone first, so he loses the opportunity to go back and forth.

Bai Lian looked at it and praised the De Jong team for doing a beautiful job.

Lu Liang knows kung fu, and he can't have a hard time with him, so it is the best policy to let him not touch him, and the rest of Empress Zhao's team doesn't have to think about it at all.

After the first goal was scored by Princess De Jong's team, Bai Lian saw that there was a hidden anger on Queen Zhao's face, Bai Lian snorted coldly in her heart and glanced at her disdainfully.

Bai Lian watched a game and had already guessed that the last game of the De Jong team was specially prepared for Lu Liang, and it was not like this when the De Jong team faced other teams before.

Obviously, after looking at the situation of Empress Zhao's team, he specially switched the strategy.

That's good!

Bai Lian thought to herself.

At the beginning of the second game, Lu Liang failed to grab the ball again, and passed the ball back and forth several times, and finally scored again by De Jong's team.

This time, Empress Zhao's face was more than angry.

Even when Lu Liang rode a horse and said something beside her, she looked at De Jong's team with a dark face.

Bai Lian thought, probably because the Zhao family was too self-aggrandized and felt that she was the queen, so everyone let her make green leaves for her and fill her face, which was an event in itself, with losses and wins. De Jong scored two goals in a row here, and his face was black like this, such a narrow-minded team, where can he have the bearing to be the mother of the country.

really thought that there was her mother all over the world, and she had to let her.

The team members of Queen Zhao over there didn't know what to discuss anymore, and after a short rest, the third game began.

At the beginning of the third game, Bai Lian saw that Queen Zhao's strategy had changed.

Lu Liang followed the king of the county, and when others passed the ball to Zhou Derong, Queen Zhao rushed to Zhou Derong's side first, swung to grab it, and Zhou Derong passed the ball to others again.

At this moment, the club in Queen Zhao's hand suddenly took off her hand and walked towards Zhou Derong. She is now grabbing the ball hard, and the club is out of her hand, but you can imagine how strong it is.

Bai Lian exclaimed in surprise and stood up suddenly, at this moment, Zhou Derong had already seen the club, and wanted to avoid it but it was too late, so he could only lie on his back one by one, the club rubbed her skin, and because of the backwards, her hand was unconsciously raised, and the other end of the club hung her wrist, and the wrist was dripping with blood.

Princess de Jong was injured, and the audience was watching. Empress Zhao was the first to jump off the horse and came to the front of Zhou Derong with a look of self-blame, not knowing what she was talking about, with a guilty look on her face.

The white lotus clenched her hands, and her heart was full of anger.

This woman!

Clearly deliberate!

Zhou Derong was helped down with a pale face, and the game was temporarily stopped to find a replacement for Zhou Derong.

Bai Lian looked at Empress Zhao with a smug look on her face at this time, and thought of Zhou Deyan's villainous appearance before, but Empress Zhao was even more than Zhou Deyan.

After Bai Lian sat down, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, this woman was simply too shameless.

Just now, during the game, she frequently looked at this side, and at that time, Bai Lian's heart was very disgusting, and she didn't know who she was hooking with her eyes, and she didn't see what kind of virtue she was.

Bai Lian tugged at Gu Yan's sleeve, and said with a stubbornness that did not admit defeat: "Lord Wang, I want to go." ”

Gu Yan was a little surprised, at the beginning, Gu Yan didn't propose to let Bai Lian participate, but as soon as Bai Lian heard that Empress Zhao was there, she lost interest.

Subsequently, Gu Yan thought that Empress Zhao injured Zhou Derong this time, obviously on purpose, he knew Bai Lian's thoughts, and he didn't object to her participating, but he thought that in case she was injured, he didn't want to take this risk.

"Lu Liang in that team knows how to work hard, and there is no one to protect you on the field, I don't worry."

Bai Lian held the hand at the bottom of his sleeve and said, "Don't worry, on the polo field, there is no one who can hurt me, you have to rest assured of me." ”

Gu Yan looked at her for a long time before he sighed and said, "It's up to you this time, don't be reckless when you get there." ”

Seeing Gu Yanying, Bai Lian smiled, everyone here was watching, otherwise she really wanted to kiss him.

Gu Yan talked to Zhou Hongren, and Zhou Hongren was also surprised, and then asked people to get a set of riding clothes and choose a horse to come over.

Gu Yan excused himself and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, Neiko has a habit of riding only the horse in the mansion, and I hope Your Majesty will take care of it." ”

Zhou Hongren waved his hand and said that it was okay, so he asked Gu Yan to send someone to lead the horse.
