Three days later, Li Xiuning returned to the Guogong Mansion and told the eldest grandson that the list of contestants came out, and a total of 35 people had signed up, and now 24 people were to be selected from these 35 people.

Lan Wan is a separate garden in the imperial village outside the city, three years ago has been given to the princess of Ruyi by Emperor Yang of Sui, became her private garden, located in the west of the imperial city, about 20 miles away from the palace, there is a small polo field.

The eldest grandson and little lady are also one of the thirty-five applicants, who also need to participate in the selection, and she was not surprised to hear Li Xiuning's news, so she followed her words and asked: "Who have signed up?" ”

"There are two in the Yuwen family, Yuwen Liuniang and one of her cousins, Han Sanniang and her sister-in-law also registered, in addition to these two, General Youxiaowei, the little lady of the family of Doctor Li of Guanglu, and the little lady of the family of the palace supervisor Wang Shichong."

"The two ladies of General Zhao's family of General Zuohou Wei, as well as the two cousins of the Dou family, the little ladies of the Zhang family, General Zhang Xutuo......" Li Xiuning came one by one.

"There are a lot of powerful people, Sister Han won't talk about it, the lady of the Li family of General Xiaowei's mansion, the little lady of General Zhang and General Zhao's family, although I don't have much contact with them, I have heard that their riding and archery skills are quite outstanding."

"With Sister Han here, I want to be the captain of one of the teams this time, I'm afraid it's not easy, but this is an open selection, if I can't choose the team, presumably Her Royal Highness the princess won't blame me." After hearing this, the eldest grandson and the little lady couldn't help but smile.

"Haha, Han Sanniang is the same year as me, and now she is twenty years old, the oldest of the people who signed up for the competition this time, she is just after she got married, she has not moved her muscles for a long time, and she is just a little quiet."

"It's rare to have such an opportunity now, she doesn't want to miss it, don't worry, she won't steal your limelight." Li Xiuning laughed.

"Actually, I really think that if you and Sister Han each lead a team to compete, then the event will be really exciting, and I will do it, Princess Ruyi, although she can play polo, she has never participated in a large-scale event."

"And Sister Xiu, you are different from Sister Han, you are the ones who can confront those polo masters in the Eastern Capital Army." The eldest grandson and the little lady are colorful.

Before Li Xiuning and Han Sanniang got married, they once disguised themselves as men, disguised themselves, and blended into the team of the family ladies of the Eastern Capital and the polo players of the army, and made a big show.

Later, although their identities were exposed, they became a well-talked about story in the Luodu noble circle.

"Poor mouth, we are all wives and mothers, not as good as back then, besides, this polo match belongs to Princess Ruyi's home field, with the current situation in the imperial city, do you think we are suitable to declare troops to seize the master?" Li Xiuning glanced at her angrily.

The eldest grandson and the little lady were stunned when she heard this, she smiled with her lips, and didn't say anything, Li Xiuning still has a delicate child who is less than one year old in her family, and it is inconvenient to stay at her mother's house for a long time, so she went back after lunch.

Two days later, the thirty-five little ladies who signed up for the competition came to Princess Ruyi's Orchid Garden together to participate in the selection, Princess Ruyi had played polo in public more than once, and was one of the people in charge of this selection, so she didn't have to play.

For this reason, she does not need to run for automatic promotion in this place, and there are 34 people left among the 35 people who signed up in addition to her, and these 34 people will be drawn by lot, each of them will have three games, and the winner and the winner will be promoted.

For the sake of fairness, those who lose in the first round also have a chance to name the winners, that is, if you think that one of the winners is weaker than you, you can challenge them, and if you lose again, you will automatically lose the qualification for the next round.

In the second round, the selection was carried out in the same way by those eliminated in the first round until twenty-three were chosen, and in order to avoid accidents, the queen also sent three royal guards to supervise them, and they would come to their aid if they saw a great danger in the election field.

The list of thirty-four people was quickly written, folded into paper lots, mixed together, randomly drawn by the nobles, the first lot caught by the eldest grandson and little lady, opened it and looked, the person against it was Yuwen Qiao, the sixth mother of the Yuwen family.

Yuwen Liuniang is two years older than her, and she just reached Lu not long ago, and the wedding date is scheduled for May next year. Yuwen Mansion is not very good with Tang Guogong Mansion, and several little ladies of the Yuwen family are also not dealing with Li Xiuning and the eldest grandson.

In view of Li Xiuning's strength being much stronger than that of his peers, and almost no one in the Kyoto noble girl circle competed with her head-on, although several little ladies of the Yuwen family were not angry, they knew that they were not opponents, so they naturally would not come up to find abuse.

They couldn't deal with Li Xiuning, so they turned their anger to the eldest grandson and little lady who had a very good relationship with Li Xiuning and married the Li family early.

Yuwen Wuniang Yuwenqi is several years older than the eldest grandson and little lady, and when she was protected by Li Xiuning, she had no way to attack the eldest grandson and little lady, but Yuwen Qiao was different, she was only two years older than the eldest grandson.

Like Princess Ruyi, she also has a good impression of Li Erlang in her heart, but Li Erlang made a marriage early, although the Yuwen family is powerful, she can't compare with Princess Ruyi, and she doesn't dare to show this love on the surface like her.

But this did not affect her face full of anger turned to the eldest grandson on the lady, since the first meeting, she has been embarrassed everywhere, in April this year in the White Horse Temple, she and sister-in-law Zheng almost fell down the steps in front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, mostly due to her credit.

Faced with this person who has a domineering temperament and never forgets to calculate himself, the eldest grandson and little lady, who has never liked to compete with others, also felt a little angry in her heart, she glanced at the lot in her hand, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Yuwen Qiao.

It happened that Yuwen Qiao was looking up at her at this time, and the eyes of the two met in the air, and an invisible spark suddenly splashed.

Compared with the eldest grandson and little lady, the hatred and murder in Yuwen Qiao's eyes are almost undisguised, she has been suffocated since she confronted the eldest grandson, and in April this year in the White Horse Temple, she was severely reprimanded by her mother, Princess Yicheng.

This made Yuwen Qiao, who has always been arrogant, almost hate the eldest grandson to the bone, and since she heard about this polo match, she has been carefully planning how to bring the greatest damage and blow to the eldest grandson and little lady.

It's just that they didn't expect that before the event officially started, they met in the first round of the campaign, and they met in the first game...... Yuwen Qiao stared at the eldest grandson and the little lady for a while, and suddenly made a very vague gesture towards her to scratch her neck.

The eldest grandson and the little lady didn't seem to understand anything, and looked away calmly, and the results of the first lot came out, and Li Xiuning and the three female guards sent by the palace personally inspected the horses and the venue of the competition.

After confirming that there was no problem, the eldest grandson, the little lady and Yuwen Qiao, stepped on horseback respectively, held the club, and rushed towards the court......
