After meeting the envoys of the two countries, I took my seat. In addition to the important ministers of the former dynasty, there are also many women of school age in the clan, and it seems that if this behavior is proposed by Mangsong Mangzan, it will be ten days away. It's just a real royal princess, but only I, the daughter of the first emperor, are present. The emperor and the daughters of the former Concubine Xiao Shu, Princess Yiyang and Princess Gao'an, were affected by the Xiao clan and were confined in the Yeting Palace, so naturally they would not attend such a state banquet.

Sitting on my left hand side is the eldest princess, Princess Changle. Princess Changle has already been married, and her attendance at the state banquet this time is purely out of courtesy. Sitting next to me to my right hand were two women of clan age that I knew.

I slowly raised my glass to taste the sweet and delicious osmanthus brew, and looked carefully at the young women around me.

Next to me is the county lord of Xin'an, the daughter of Li Ke, the king of Wu. Li Ke, the king of Wu, was accused of rebellion and died, but the emperor did not make it too difficult for his children. The county lord of Xin'an has been raised in Daxing Palace since Li Ke's subjugation. Although she had no worries about food and clothing in the palace, because of her father, the county lord of Xin'an was usually very low-key and lived in isolation. She is wearing a wide-sleeved pink blouse, a pink short jacket, and a pink skirt. The hair is combed in a black bun, which is only dotted with a few gilded roses, and there is a multicolored gold Ruyi step, and there are no other accessories. However, this light dress, coupled with her preoccupied and slightly worried and sad demeanor at this time, made her more and more pitiful, like a weak and delicate acacia flower that needs to be cared for.

Next to the county lord of Xin'an is the county lord of Bao'an, the daughter of Li Su, the king of Shu. The lord of Bao'an County is younger than the lord of Xin'an County, and he is also more lively than the lord of Xin'an County. She was dressed in a pink-green tight-sleeved shirt, covered with a blue shawl, and her hair was combed with a girl's multi-purpose double snail bun, only decorated with red gold and jade hairpins, but it was also fresh and natural, delicate and lovely.

I'm afraid that the candidate for harmony will be chosen among the two of her. I thought so in my heart, while distracting myself from greeting the eldest princess of Changle, while carefully observing Zan Xiruo's reaction. Zansiruo talked to everyone with a calm expression, and could not see what he really thought in his heart. Instead, it was Okami behind him, his gaze often sweeping to the back of my seat, consciously or unconsciously.

After the banquet, everyone did not disperse, but went to the polo field with the emperor, empress and envoys. Since Emperor Gaozu, I have been very enthusiastic about this sport. Polo originated in Tibet, and after spreading west to Persia, it was introduced to our Tang Dynasty. Now that the envoy of the country of origin of polo has come, it is natural to arrange a wonderful polo match to help the fun.

The rules of polo are that the contestants ride horses to compete for a polo with hollowed out of the wood, painted red and painted with delicate patterns, and the polo is won by hitting the polo with a special stick into a one-foot-square hole under the opponent's wooden plank wall. When the game was in progress, there were special people outside the stadium who cheered for the supporting side to beat drums and play music, which was very lively. The polo game itself also has very high requirements for players, not only requiring players to have superb hitting skills, but also skilled riding skills, but also requiring tacit understanding between players, all three are indispensable, so the game is also quite exciting.

But I don't really like the sport. I don't like the dust that it blows, and I don't like the noise it makes. After watching the game politely for a while, I withdrew from the stands, citing the excuse of changing clothes.

The venue of the polo match is located in the open space not far from the Liangyi Palace, which is the address selected by Emperor Gaozu that year, so that it is convenient for the ministers of civil and military affairs to watch the game, and the harem concubines can also enter and exit freely.
