Chapter 188: Showdown on the Pitch
Putting aside the deep political purpose, Princess Duanyang's intention to choose her younger brother-in-law has been revealed, and the young and beautiful girls are dressed up in fancy clothes, beautiful and moving, and the swallows are thin and fat, each with its own characteristics. Princess Duanyang seems to favor Shao Huiwan, and always takes her to talk, and the other girls are envious, and they express themselves more actively, competing for beauty, and even Gu Qingyi looks at it with relish.
Although it is a group of beautiful and beautiful people, there is a lot of fun, and the elderly ladies have retreated to the side to have a picnic and chat, so Princess Duanyang and their group of young women have endless energy and interest, and they want to kick the shuttlecock at this time. Because of the large number of people, there was no one to kick tricks, but a group of people gathered in a circle to kick the shuttlecock, Gu Qingyi originally wanted to be lazy, but was still taken by Princess Duanyang.
The status of her and Princess Duanyang is the highest, the two are often fed shuttlecocks, Gu Qingyi is wearing a light riding suit, her skills are flexible, and she has never lost a shuttlecock, for example, at this time, Shao Huiwan fed her a shuttlecock again, but the strength was not grasped well, and seeing that she was about to fly over Gu Qingyi's head, everyone sighed regretfully, feeling that she could not be saved this time.
Gu Qingyi held her breath nervously, hooked her right foot to save the shuttlecock that was about to fall to the ground, and took advantage of the shuttlecock's rising kung fu to turn around and kick out, and the shuttlecock flew out like an arrow from the string, and attacked blatantly.
The shuttlecock flies extremely fast, ordinary people are difficult to catch, seeing that the shuttlecock is about to attack their own faΓ§ade, the girl on the opposite side was startled, and subconsciously dodged it, so the shuttlecock flew out of the circle, snapped, and the sound of hitting the body sounded, and everyone looked for the sound, and immediately stunned.
The shuttlecock was caught by the prince.
He didn't know when he came, he stood not far away with a group of people, spinning splines in his hands, and his deep eyes looked at Gu Qingyi, secretive and mysterious. The crown princess was standing beside him, followed by the county lord of Yu'an and Shao Yanjin, their eyes all fell on Gu Qingyi, their expressions were different, and they were all indescribably complicated.
Gu Qingyi frowned, feeling bored for a while, and the people who were unhappy with the opinions all appeared in a bunch.
Princess Duanyang and the others were stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted, and led everyone to come forward to salute, and the prince with a warm smile on his face, personally stepped forward to help Princess Duanyang up, "I heard that the eldest sister is here for a banquet, and the palace is not invited, don't be surprised." β
"The prince can come to give me face, where do you dare to be surprised." Princess Duanyang looked a little embarrassed, "But I want to say no, I thought that the prince didn't like amusement, so I didn't post to the East Palace, and I apologized here." β
The crown prince said very generously that he didn't care, "The palace just stopped by to take a look, and I didn't bother when I saw you kicking the shuttlecock, so I didn't miss Princess Qin's wonderful performance." His voice paused, and he changed his title, "Second brother and sister, it's really hidden." β
The last sentence was meaningful, Gu Qingyi's eyes flashed, and he blessed his body without being humble or arrogant, "Let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smile." β
If you don't get oil and salt, you just don't answer.
The prince looked at the amorous woman in front of him, his eyes were slightly dark, no wonder King Qin was very fond of him, and sure enough, the more he looked at it, the more tasteful it became, if it was...... As soon as there was a flower in front of him, someone suddenly blocked his vision, and he couldn't help squinting, "Second brother, it turns out that you are also there." β
A cold glint flashed in King Qin's dark eyes, and there was a faint sneer on his face, "The prince is a busy man, how can he have time to come here." β
In fact, now Emperor Zhaoming is disappointed in the crown prince, many court affairs are handled by himself or handed over to the king of Qin, the prince is left out in the cold, so he is not only busy, but more idle than the king of Qin.
The atmosphere was suddenly tense, Princess Duanyang, as the host, no matter which side her heart was parting, she didn't want to let the guests make trouble at this time, let alone these two were her younger brothers.
She pretended not to know the weird atmosphere, and said with a smile, "Spring is good, it's time to come out and walk around, relax your muscles, since you are here, prince, let's enjoy it with everyone, the scenery of Fengyin Mountain is very good." β
The prince gave Princess Duanyang face, his face softened slightly, he flipped the shuttlecock in his hand, handed it to Yan Shunying, looked at King Qin and said, "Second brother, we haven't played polo together for a long time, how about a game?" β
King Qin glanced at the prince, and his narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, "The prince is so interested, and this king is happy to accompany him." β
"Okay, the second brother is as cheerful as ever." The prince began to form a team, and the young and strong sons and brothers present were all asked to go, and at the end, he also nodded Shao Yanjin, and said meaningfully, "Yanjin, this palace has long heard that you are good at polo, and you have to show all your strength against King Qin today." β
Compared with before getting married, Shao Yanjinzhen's personal temperament has changed greatly, and the playboy-like characters in the past have now lost all the leakage of light, calm and introverted, and there seem to be endless thoughts and secrets hidden in the deep black eyes, which are even more unpredictable.
His gaze fell on King Qin, a raging fire ignited in his dark eyes, and he was full of fighting spirit, "King Qin, please give me a lot of advice." β
King Qin raised his eyebrows, and also began to order, King Qi became a member of his camp, and the remaining team members, compared with the prince's side, looked thin and thin, and looked very different in strength.
Gu Qingyi didn't have the heart to have fun anymore, so he took the riding clothes from Feng Ming and changed them for King Qin in person, and instructed quite worriedly, "Lord Wang, no matter whether you win or lose, you must pay attention to safety." β
In previous years, there were not a few sons of the family who were accidentally injured because of playing polo, and the prince had bad intentions, so he was worried that he was doing something in secret.
King Qin patted her back soothingly, "Don't worry, this king marches and fights, riding a horse is more familiar than walking, although the prince has good riding skills, but after all, he is not the opponent of this king." β
Gu Qingyi relaxed a little, and after going out with King Qin, he found that everyone had already prepared, and the horses specially prepared by Princess Duanyang were also brought up, all fat and strong, tall and mighty, and they knew that they were good horses at a glance.
Princess Duanyang was quite complacent, showing off, "These are all the good horses I have collected over the years, the crown prince, the second brother, what do you think?" β
The prince and the king of Qin are people who are used to seeing good horses, so they inevitably praised a few words at this time, and began to pick horses, and the king of Qin chose a red horse, jumped cleanly, and sat firmly on the horse. He changed into a red lapel placket with tight sleeves, leather boots, and a white jade belt around his waist.
Many women were impressed by his handsome and extraordinary appearance and bearing, and quietly blushed, with a look of admiration in their eyes, Gu Qingyi couldn't be calm, she knew that King Qin would go to the martial arts arena every day for morning exercises, but she had never been to watch, at this time, she saw him standing across the horse, majestic, his heart was like a drum, and he was beating rapidly.
The King of Qin in the field felt something, and looked sideways at the crowd, his eyes fell on Murong Ling accurately, his cold and sparse face added a touch of tenderness, and the corners of his pursed lips seemed to show a smile, fleeting, but it was still captured by the people who noticed him.
At that moment, the indifferent and ruthless handsome face exploded like cold ice, and the spring flowers bloomed, which was the most rare gentleness and beauty.
Gu Qingyi couldn't help blushing in the exclamations of the surrounding women, her eyes were bright, and she was reluctant to look away from King Qin.
Shao Yanjin grabbed the reins, a dark color flashed in his eyes, and at this time, the prince also rode off the field, drove the horse to King Qin's side, and seemed to remind him kindly, "There is danger on the field, the second brother should be careful." β
King Qin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Thank you for the prince's reminder, this king is not afraid of being beaten with rough skin and thick flesh, and the prince is the body of ten thousand times, so he should pay more attention to safety." β
The two looked at each other, the edge flashed, and the air machine in the field was pulled, and they instantly became nervous.
The prince rode a white horse, and the king of Qin rode a red horse, so they were distinguished by white and red, and at this time the two sides were in a confrontation on the field, and Princess Duanyang acted as the referee, she put the polo on the middle line, quickly withdrew, and shouted loudly: "Prepare - start!" β
Boom!
Almost at the same time, the canes of the King of Qin and the Prince staggered past, and the fist-sized polo ball flew high, spun rapidly in the air, and flew towards the White goal with an unstoppable momentum.
The corners of King Qin's lips were slightly raised, his legs were clamped between the horse's belly, and he passed by the prince, and the red player behind him, at the moment when Princess Duanyang shouted out, was already like a chess piece into the game, and was inserted into the white square battle as fast as lightning.
They had been prepared for a long time to accurately take the polo ball struck by the King of Qin, like a baton passed to the other, and finally passed to the King of Qin, who was already at the forefront at some point.
Silence.
In the next moment, the audience was in an uproar.
Quick, it's too fast!
From the beginning to the passing and scoring, it was only a few breaths of effort, and Red caught White off guard, not to mention how well they cooperated, what was most important was their trust in the King of Qin.
Yes, trust.
Trust him to grab the ball, so that he can go deep into the enemy camp without hesitation, charge into battle, and let his rear be empty. If it's the prince who grabs the ball, then White can effortlessly get the ball into Red's goal! Because they can't defend back at all, this is undoubtedly a big gamble!
But is it really just a gamble?
Looking at King Qin who won the ball again, everyone fell into suspicion, His Majesty loves polo, the top is good, the bottom will be very good, the prince is one of the masters, not to mention the famous Shao Yanjin in the middle of the cooperation, I didn't expect to be caught off guard by King Qin as soon as he saw it.
King Qin rarely plays with others, this kind of collective activity almost no trace of him, originally thought that he was not good at polo, but I didn't expect that he was a hidden master.
It seems that it is still unknown who will win this battle.
