On this day, Chang'an City was particularly lively, and the triumphant division that people were looking forward to finally returned to the court, and brought the delegation from Mobei to negotiate peace.

When the people learned that there was no need to fight any more, their hearts were filled with joy, and they came to the gates of the city to cheer and welcome the victorious army.

Sun Zhi rode a black war horse in a mighty black iron gold silk armor, walking among the soldiers with a high spirit, and his heavy head covered half of his face, making people unable to see the look on his face more and more fierce, mighty and domineering.

The Mobei Mission followed closely behind the team, and although they were defeated, they did not see the slightest bit of frustration and frustration on their faces, but with a hint of arrogance and disdain.

The emperor ordered people to set up a banquet in the palace tower early to entertain the general and the Mobei mission.

The palace people have already been busy, but they don't dare to be sloppy at all, this time the banquet of the reception mission is not only arranged by all the songs and dances are novel and unique, but even all the food, drink and utensils must be used with the best quality.

And in order to be perfect, even the water used for the meal is the clear and luscious mountain spring water that has been transported from thousands of miles, in order to be perfect, so as to highlight the magnificence of the Dasheng Dynasty and open the eyes of these barbarians.

Qingyun remembered that the eldest prince liked a jasmine dew in her palace, so she led the snow to the imperial garden to pick some jasmine.

"Dong's" body was hit by a powerful hot object and took a step back, and there was a dull pain in his chest, as if he had been hammered by a sledgehammer, Qingyun couldn't help frowning and snorting.

"Who is so bold that he dares to rush into the mother!" Covering the moon, he quickly held on to Qingyun and scolded angrily.

"Excuse me! Under it was not intentional! Just a little anxious because I got lost......"

A man's mellow and comfortable voice came from his ears, Qingyun slowly raised his head, his little face was slightly pale because of the pain of Fang Cai, and a pair of Mercury beautiful eyes were looking forward to the man in front of him, and he whispered: "It's okay!" ”

But the man's gaze was immediately stunned when he met Qingyun's picturesque beauty, and his eyes stared straight at Qingyun, as if he had accidentally been shocked out of his mind.

Seeing that he was dressed in Mobei costumes, he guessed in his heart that he should be a member of the Mobei Mission, so he coughed lightly at the moment, "Cough!" Your Excellency should be the messenger of Mobei! ”

The man turned around in embarrassment, a hint of a charming flush appeared on his wheat-colored face, and he said embarrassedly: "It is the Mobei envoy Nakis below, because he got lost in the harem of Dasheng for the first time, and he abruptly hoped that the nobles would not be surprised!" ”

Qingyun smiled faintly, like a red plum in the snow, which amazed the world of Nachis, "Since I am a guest of Dasheng, I Dasheng has not fulfilled the responsibility of guidance, it is our fault, how can we blame the messenger!" ”

The voice was soft and soft like a light feather gently scraping over his ears, and the numb was so numb that he couldn't help but shudder, and Natis lost his mind again.

"Nakis, so you're here!" Behind him, there was a girl's delicate and a little angry voice, and it turned out to be a pretty woman in red clothes, the woman's face was gorgeous, but there was a heroic spirit between the eyebrows, less of the softness of the daughter's family, but a trace of peculiar firm beauty.

When she got closer, she found that there was a stunning beauty in front of her, and the woman couldn't help frowning and asked, "Are you?" ”

"This palace is the concubine Jin of the Dasheng Dynasty, passing by here and meeting a lost messenger! Presumably, the two newcomers don't know the way, so the palace will order the first palace people to lead the two to recognize the way! With a dignified and decent smile, Qingyun instructed a little eunuch to guide them, and then said with a decent smile: "The palace still has something to deal with, so I won't accompany you!" ”

Nakis stared at the last corner of the light cloud and disappeared into the flowers, before suddenly retracting it.

"What's there to see!" The girl looked at Nakis's dejected appearance, her heart was sour, and she bit her lip and said angrily.

As soon as he got rid of the Mobei envoy, he hadn't gone far when he heard a woman crying anxiously behind him, "Niangniang!" Concubine Jin! ”

Qingyun paused and turned her head to look, only to see that a little palace maid in Tsing Yi was running over breathlessly, blessed her, calmed down the surging breath in her body and said, "Your Majesty invites Niangniang to go to the racecourse!" ”

This so-called horse farm is the place where I accidentally walked over to see Princess Changle play polo last time, but the scene at this time is very different from that.

Compared with that day, there are more onlookers today, the emperor sits high on the high platform, and the courtiers and the Mobei delegation sit next to them in turn, and the pomp is very spectacular.

"Yao'er! Come on! Seeing Qingyun coming, considering that there was a foreign envoy Jie present, Nangong Ling didn't get too close, just smiled and motioned for her to sit down nearby.

"Your Majesty! What are you looking at? Qingyun glanced at the two gangs who were fighting fiercely in the audience, and asked curiously.

"This Mobei man is not convinced if he loses the war, and he wants to compete with me on this polo field!" Nangong Ling squinted at the Mobei people below him, and smiled disdainfully, "But right now, they are already defeated!" ”

Sure enough, the Mobei people below all had gloomy faces, an ugly sauce color, and then looked at the scoreboard under the stage, they really lost miserably: Mobei lost two goals three to five, which was really a bit embarrassing.

"No wonder Your Majesty is so happy! It turned out that I saw the Mobei people slapping themselves in the face! Hehe......"

Nangong Ling's cold face sank slightly, and he pretended to be serious and warned: "Is this a place for jokes!" Be dignified! Otherwise, the Mobei people can't afford to lose and see you laugh at you, they turn around and deliberately find your fault, I won't help you! ”

"Phew!" With the sound of a golden gong, the game ended, and the Mobei people withdrew with a sad face, but Dasheng's team was full of energy and high morale to come to the stage to receive the reward.

"I have always heard that the men of the Dasheng Dynasty are all brave and mighty, and today I saw that it was really extraordinary! Unexpectedly, the most elite team in my country was beaten to the ground! I really admire! ”

A rugged-looking yellow-bearded man in the lower right stood up and made a noble salute to the emperor, and a smug smile appeared on Nangong Ling's cold and majestic face, but before this smile could dissolve, he listened to the man continue:

"I don't know what about the women of the Great Sheng Kingdom? Do you have unimaginable polo skills like the men in the upper country? ”

As soon as the words fell, a red-clothed woman in the Mobei delegation stood up, saluted slightly towards Nangong Ling, and said a little provocatively: "I am the Mobei princess Ashina Lingzhu, and I hope to lead the women's polo team under my command to compete with the Dasheng excellent women's polo team!" I hope that His Majesty the Emperor Dasheng can allow it! ”

Nangong Ling's secretive eyes endured an imperceptible light, he knew that there was no women's polo team in the palace at all, how could he fight? I was about to open my mouth to shirk it, but I heard a burst of laughter from below.

"I heard early that the women of the country are charming and feminine, and all of them are powerless, and some of them can't even ride horses! Not to mention playing ball on horseback, hehehe...... Princess Lingzhu, just let them go, they don't dare to fight in order to save face! ”

The smile on the corner of Nangong Ling's mouth suddenly choked, and the faint smile arc instantly turned into a sharp sword blade, shooting quickly towards the strong man with the yellow beard.

"Presumptuous! The little barbarian dares to despise my Dasheng Shangguo, and today this princess will let you wait to learn what is my Dasheng woman's true colors! ”

Princess Changle, who had been silently watching the battle, heard that Yellowbeard belittled Dasheng women so much, where could she still sit still, and she slapped the case with a "snap", and her charming and slightly immature face glared at the yellow-bearded reckless man angrily.

"Princess Changle's words are to accept our challenge!" Ashina Lingzhu raised her eyebrows lightly, and looked at Princess Changle with a little contempt.

Princess Changle's little maid was afraid that her princess would really accept the challenge in a fit of anger, knowing that there were few women in the entire palace who could play polo except for the princess, so she hurriedly gently tugged at the corner of her princess's clothes, wanting to pull her back to her seat.

Changle was already very angry, where would he ignore the persuasion of the little palace maid, brushed away the hand that was pulling the corner of his clothes, and said arrogantly: "Isn't it just a polo game!" What should this princess do? ”

Princess Changle was dressed in a blue golden silk peony pattern palace costume fluttering in the wind, and the double-headed red goldfinch bird was shaking in the sunlight with dazzling golden light, with a compelling domineering majesty, proud and luxurious eyes on everyone, so that people dare not look directly.

Everyone was stunned by her momentum, and the scene suddenly fell into a deathly silence, but this momentum was extinguished on the spot by the little palace maid beside her, "But princess, there don't seem to be many women in our palace who can play polo except you!" ”

"Hahaha......" This remark caused a burst of sarcastic laughter from the Mobei mission.

"Shut up! What is this princess afraid of! Although Changle had already beaten the drum in his heart, his face was still full of confidence, and he said to Nangong Ling on the seat: "Please also ask the imperial brother to find a few palace maids who can ride horses for my sister!" ”

Nangong Ling looked at Changle in embarrassment, knowing that there was no way out, he could only give it a try, and was ready to let Wang An take people to pick a few palace people who could ride horses to reluctantly form a team, praying in his heart not to lose too ugly.

"Wang An......" Nangong Ling was interrupted by Qingyun with a smile before he could finish speaking.

"Your Majesty, can you let the concubine give it a try?" Qingyun's soft and moving smile inexplicably makes people feel at ease.

Nangong Ling asked in surprise, "Oh? Concubine Jin also plays polo? ”

"When I was a child, I used to play with the moon and snow in Qingzhou, but I haven't played it for a long time!" In addition to modesty, the bright smile is more of a flash of confidence.

For some reason, Nangong Ling's uneasy heart was much calmer at this moment because of her smile, and he suddenly felt that they would not lose this game, and might even win.

"Well, I'll grant your request!" Nangong Ling's mellow and majestic voice was obviously more confident and calm, and he instructed Wang Andao: "You go and pick a few palace maids who can ride horses!" ”

Ashina Lingzhu looked at Princess Changle and Qingyun with a funny smile, and a contemptuous smile pulled up at the corner of her mouth, "Temporarily forming a rabble and trying to win this princess, it's really a fool's dream!" ”
