Chapter 36: Polo
When my third brother and I rode in on horseback, His Majesty and Ying Jieyu were already standing on the other side of the racecourse, and I was looking at His Majesty from afar, and he seemed to be looking at me intently.
"Your brother and I will be the main attacker for a while, you can help me stop it on the side." He held the rod in one hand and tapped the palm of the other hand lightly with the other.
I looked at him with a restless heart, and at this time I did not argue with him, and his technique was naturally better than mine.
Since this game originated from a bet between me and Herin, if you want to win, you naturally rely on the third brother.
I know that.
But......
Holding the reins in my hand, I quietly wrapped an extra circle around the palm of my hand, so that the gap in the reins was smaller, the ball and the man were already in place, and I took a look, and the person who struck the gong outside the field was about to walk over.
Holding it in his right hand, he slid it around the air twice and then slid to the ground, hitting and rubbing the ground with the club, and there was a slight pause in the palm of his hand.
Leaning forward slightly, he leaned down on the horse's back in a very low position, and his right hand holding the pole was raised flat.
The third brother seemed to be stunned, and I heard him say in my right ear: "Yue'er, ...... are you?"
With a "bang", the sound of a gong was heard in my left ear.
At the same time as he heard the sound, he raised the reins in his left hand, and the pole of his right hand slammed into the horse's buttocks.
"Drive!"
The whole person rushed out as fast as he could.
The scenery in the afterglow quickly recedes and becomes a line, and the only thing in the center of realization is the ball.
What to win or lose? What is the main attacker and the auxiliary hand?
Winning or losing and rules, etiquette and teachings, the queen's dignified and prudent, all of this, how can the wind whistling in the ears come happily!
Let all the earthly world depart from me.
At the moment, I just want to greedily covet this temporary freedom and happiness.
I was trembling uncontrollably, and I was so excited that half a racecourse was about to pull the ball off the ground in a matter of breaths.
But in the next second, the long pole from the opponent was raised diagonally, and the target disappeared in an instant and flew into the distance.
When she looked up and saw that it was Ying Jieyu, she applied for seriousness and confidence, and her eyes were firmly fixed on the position where the ball was flying. I didn't have the time to make eye contact with her more, and drove directly to the place where the polo flew.
The third brother reacted faster than me, and the horse under his crotch was windy, he put away his usual appearance, stopped the path of the polo flight in advance, and when he turned around, he hit the ball directly.
I ran straight to the opposite door frame with the ball, and His Majesty came to meet him, and with a swing of the long pole, it was aimed at me.
I can't show weakness at the moment, raise the long club, and hit the ball with it.
The two collided, and after all, it was his side that had more strength, and the ball was reversed and stopped by Herin.
I was so shocked that I grinned for a while, and then turned my head to meet His Majesty's knowing smile. I didn't have time to rest, so I turned my horse's head like I was chasing after me.
He Lin is really a representative of the Hun woman, she is not a little delicate as a princess, and she has lost the upper hand in the fight with the third brother, and the two of them have come and go, and Your Majesty and I quickly joined the battle.
The third brother is worthy of being a person who has led the troops for many years, his technique is steady and ruthless, his eyes are extremely sharp, he found the gap between He Lin and His Majesty, and with a sweep, the ball flew directly through the two of them to the position of the door behind.
I tried my best to keep up, and His Majesty reacted very quickly and pressed straight at me, and at the moment when he was about to touch the ball, I threw it hard and hit it directly into the goal frame.
There was a dinging sound on the sidelines, and my third brother and I took a lead.
"That's right, Queen, this is also called bad polo?" His Majesty looked at me with a wicked smile.
I also smiled and saluted, "Thanks to Your Majesty's promotion, or General Fu's merit is greater, and the concubine's little skill of carving insects is not enough to buy in front of Your Majesty." ”
"Don't talk too much, you and General Fu haven't won yet." Holin rested the pole on her shoulder, tilted her head and smiled.
"Then we'll see in the next few rounds." After I said this, I returned to the half with the third brother and looked at them from a distance again.
The horse below him didn't make any gasping movements, but was still calm, and I patted him on the neck to comfort him.
Holding the long rod in his right hand, he tapped it up and down, slowed down his frozen food and fingers, and couldn't help muttering.
Your Majesty just now, I really didn't release the water, but it doesn't matter, I want to be angry when he releases the water, and this time I must take advantage of the victory to pursue.
This time I decided to change my style of play and focus on the movements of His Majesty and Herin.
The gong sounded again, and this time, I still rushed out instantly, and the third brother and I started at the same time, and when they reached the center of the field, they were a horse's head faster.
I glanced at him and knew what he was going to do, and then he swept the ball far away, and I, knowing the direction he was going to play, rode my horse to the path of the ball in advance.
I ran straight to the goal with the ball, I didn't need to squint, I could hear the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, I was worried that I would be distracted when I turned around, so I hit it directly, and the ball flew into the air, but I didn't want to miss it, and it didn't fly into that frame.
The ball was my presumptuous, but His Majesty seemed to anticipate such a result, intercepted the ball that bounced out of the frame, and with a swing of the long club, it landed between the third brother and Herin
The third brother paused, and Horin instantly intercepted the ball and brought it to our goalframe.
I urged my horse and hurried to run that way, but I didn't expect His Majesty to turn the dock and stop directly in front of me.
I couldn't dodge left and right, so I could only pull the reins and stop the horse abruptly.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing here? How can you still interfere with people like this? You can't and can't ...... yourself."
He didn't answer me, and turned to look at Herin and the third brother.
I looked at them anxiously, and it was a complicated process, but in the end, it ended with Herin scoring the ball.
There is still a little bit of time left for a pillar of incense, and it is estimated that it will be enough to play a game, and when I returned to the position, I asked the third brother angrily: "What's the matter with you?" I bragged about myself so well, but I couldn't even beat Ying Jieyu. ”
He touched his nose: "Isn't that person also very powerful?" Why, can I still dominate the world? ”
I seriously suspect that he released the water, but I have no proof.
I poked him hard in the thigh with a pole, "I warn you! This is about my bet with Ying Ying Jieyu, and it is also about the dignity of our Fu brothers and sisters, I advise you to take it seriously for me! ”
He shouted aggrievedly: "Why didn't I take it seriously? ”
I stopped talking to him and quietly gathered momentum.
When the gongs and drums sounded, I ran out at the same time as him, still in front of him and behind me, but how to say? After all, they are brother and sister, he glanced at me on the way to run, and when I looked at him, I instantly understood his thoughts.
When I got in front of me, His Majesty hit the ball first and swept it to the opposite field, but at the same time, I rode to our goal, and the third brother sat and pulled in the back, and at the same time it was Herin who pursued it.
She looked at me confidently and flamboyantly, and I was not to be outdone to return the ball, and when the ball was about to be in front of me, I picked it up with my stick, not on both sides of the goal, but on the side of the field.
Seeing that He Lin was stunned, but in the next moment, the figure of the third brother appeared in the position of the ball.
She led the ball straight to Horin and His Majesty's frame.
His Majesty was already waiting halfway, but I carefully studied the third brother's expression, and he was serious this time.
In the next second, Herin rushed out like an arrow from a string, and my sideburns were blown up by the wind she blew, but I didn't move, because I believed in the third brother.
Without waiting for His Majesty and He Lin to intercept the third brother's ball, the third brother smiled lightly and hit it hard, and the ball went straight into the center of the frame without any accident, and the gong sounded.
We looked up at the burning incense, which was nearing the end.
There was silence, then applause.
I yelled excitedly, turned over and dismounted, ran quickly to the third brother, and high-fived him.
His Majesty looked at me with a smile on his face and clapped his hands: "The queen and General Fu really have a tacit understanding, the general's skills far surpass me, and I am very relieved to have a pillar of the country like General Fu." ”
Where is the third brother, how dare you say a bunch of things, I looked at He Lin, she looked at the third brother with a look of loss, I coughed lightly as a reminder, she looked back at me in a daze, and lowered her head.
His Majesty rewarded me and my third brother with some gadgets, and I sweated while playing polo, so I went straight back to the dormitory to bathe and change clothes.
When I was bathing, I was holding on to the wall of the bucket, and I was about to call for the rain, when the next second I hissed in pain.
When I raised my hand, I saw that because I hadn't ridden a horse for too long, I had been pampered in the palace for many years, and the hand that pulled the reins was actually blistered with blood.
I stared at the blood bubble in a daze, as if I had returned to the time when I first learned to ride a horse, and I smiled happily.
I don't know what's wrong with me, but I probably prefer the cocoons of horses to the gorgeous dankome.
Zhiyu heard my voice and hurriedly came in and asked me what was wrong? Seeing me stunned and looking at the blood blisters in the palm of my hand, I thought I was in a terrible pain, so I hurriedly went to find a silver needle and a bandage to pick it open for me.
After a while, she walked in with a small tray with two bottles of medicine on it and said, "Niangniang, Your Majesty, the little Quanzi next to me has come to deliver the medicine." ”
My mind moved, "Deliver medicine?" What kind of medicine to give? ”
Zhiyu looked at me like a fool: "Of course it's the medicine for you." ”
After speaking, he pulled a stool and sat beside me, pulled my hand over, and began to give me medicine carefully, and said on the side: "Xiao Pinzi said, Your Majesty instructed the slave and maid, this bottle, pick it up, apply it to your left hand, this bottle, apply it to your right hand, and let the slave and maid rub it for you, at least a quarter of an hour." ”
She burned the silver needle with a candle, turned her head and said to me with a smile: "Niangniang, you see how good Your Majesty is to you." ”
I looked at the two bottles of medicine and didn't speak.
He knew I had a hand injury.
There were a few more waves in my heart, and the calm heart lake rippled in circles, and I didn't even feel much pain when I picked up the blood blister.
I lay on the edge of the barrel, let Zhiyu fiddle with the medicine on my hand, and when I changed to my right hand, I rubbed my palm and tiger's mouth carefully.
My mind was a little unstable, and I asked her in a dull voice: "Zhiyu, why are you talking about Your Majesty's heart so thin?" It's so comprehensive. ”
Zhiyu was amused by me: "Niangniang, that's Your Majesty!" As an emperor, it shouldn't be normal to behave like this. ”
"But it was in the previous dynasty, facing the harem and facing the woman, why is his mind still so delicate?" I suddenly became energetic, "Do you think it could be that Sun Miaohua taught her?" ”
She raised her head, as if she wanted to see through me: "Niangniang, a long time ago, when Concubine De just left, I almost never saw you mention her, and the more time goes after that, why do you always ask?" ”
I was stunned by her question, and I thought about it for a long time, right, why do I always think of her recently?
