In the suburbs of the capital, on the edge of the Qinghe wharf, with the unification of the empire, commerce and trade gradually flourished, in addition to the goods on the wharf, a type of surplus was naturally formed here

Although the bazaar, but it is also complete, the most popular among the people of the capital is the Jockey Club, this Jockey Club is the polo arena of this different world, called the bow, the horse team is divided into two groups, a group of five, compete with each other, the battle is fierce, the highlights are full, the capital usually has a lot of dignitaries and dignitaries come here for entertainment, of course, it is inevitable to spend money on gambling, which is also the most attractive place for the magnates.

Diamelissa and his entourage came here, the organizers of the venue saw the people and horses, they knew that they were either rich or expensive, and immediately arranged a group of people to enter the racecourse to watch the battle, which is the highest place in the racecourse, with the best view, there are dozens of compartments separated by wooden screens, and a waiter is arranged in each compartment, which is specially used to serve the magnates who come here to gamble.

After Diamelissa took his seat, there was a ball game in the racecourse, the red-armored knight and the blue-armored knight held a long pole, riding horses back and forth to compete for the polo.

Diamelissa, the maids, and the mountain golem guard were all attracted by the exciting and fierce competition for a while.

The maid saw the tall horses under the crotches of the Central Plains knights, and sighed: "Princess, no wonder our Taisha was defeated at the beginning, and the people of the Central Plains can raise such a high-headed horse, isn't it invincible on the battlefield?" The horses of our Taisha cavalry, compared to the horses of Beirao in the Central Plains, are as thin as donkeys. ”

The maid is a woman from Taisha, who is married to the palace maid of the mountain with Princess Diamelissa, and she is always by the princess's side and is the princess's confidant.

When Diamelisa heard this, she also sighed with emotion: "Yes, Chaoshangbang, it is indeed not something that we Taisha can provoke." ”

The two girls were chatting energetically, and suddenly, the blue team on the racecourse broke through the red team's defense, and hit the polo into the goal with one blow, and the scene erupted into warm cheers, and the two girls were also attracted by the wonderful game.

The waiter in the box held a plate in his hand, which contained a wooden chip for betting on the team, and the waiter saw that the second daughter was attracted by the event, so he lost no time in coming forward to sell:

"Nobleman, since you think the game is exciting, the wooden chips in this game are the chips for betting on the two teams, and those who bet on the gold will have ten times the profit."

When Diamelisa heard this, she immediately came to the nature, so she bet on the blue team to win, and sure enough, after a while, the blue team finally won the victory and won the championship in one fell swoop, which made Diamelisa cheer for the blue team with the audience.

The waiter immediately brought over the ten thousand gold and offered it, and Diamelisa was delighted, so she gave all the money she had won to the personal maid and the chief of the guard, and the two suddenly received a huge amount of money, and they were overjoyed, and thanked the princess for the reward.

Diamelissa lived in the palace from the depths, stretched out her hands for clothes, and opened her mouth for food, she had no concept of money at all, and if she rewarded it, she would be rewarded, it didn't matter at all.

The game continued, Diamelissa was intoxicated, betting thousands of dollars on every game, losing less and winning more, nine out of ten shots, winning 60,000 gold, and a few games, she even won six games in a row.

After more than three consecutive races, the racecourse attendants would read it out in public and beat drums to celebrate, not to mention six consecutive games, which attracted the attention of the powerful people who were watching the battle on the high platform.

Although the wooden screen separates the two sides, the people on the other side of the compartment can see the lucky star of Diamelisa clearly, and when the magnates saw that it was actually a beautiful Fanbang woman, they talked even more, guessing that it might be a member of the international mission who came to see the emperor recently, after all, for so many years, the capital has never seen so many foreigners.

At this time, Diamelisa won another game, and was cheering happily, when a waiter in the arena came forward with a wooden slip and respectfully presented it to Diamelissa.

Diamelissa took the wooden slab, was a little puzzled, opened it and looked at it a few times, but could not recognize the words on the slab, so she asked the waiter, "What is this?" ”

Seeing this, the waiter suddenly understood that the Bangmei people did not know the Zhongyuan characters, so he laughed, pointed to a young man holding a folding fan in the high balcony private room opposite, and explained: "I want to teach the noble person to know, this is the invitation letter of the No. 46 private room, and he hopes to get to know you." ”

Diamelisa understood as soon as she heard it, this was someone who saw the color, and she didn't care, from the fact that she and her sister Princess Lina had a lot of crazy bees, she had long been accustomed to the flattery of strange men, and now she had already married her sweetheart, and she would not pay attention to this so-called invitation.

As Princess Tessa, Diamelisa was annoyed that someone would disturb her gambling interest, but she politely returned the wooden slip to the waiter, indicating her refusal, and the waiter bowed and left the private room.

As soon as Diamelisa rejected the invitation of the No. 46 private room magnate, several other private room attendants came, and presented invitations, trying to get to know her, although there is no shortage of beauties around these magnates, but a beautiful woman like Diamelissa, that exotic style, is really rare, Diamelisa saw that she became the focus of the Jockey Club, and simply ordered the waiter not to accept any so-called invitations, and finally stopped.

The game continued, Diamelissa called the waiter to press the red team to win, this polo game is still extremely intense, but this time it is the red team she bet on that was eliminated, Diamelisa saw this, and didn't care, there are losses and wins before this game is exciting.

Diamelissa continued to bet, but it seemed that this time she had finally used up her good luck, losing three times in a row, and losing a lot of money, although she was not short of money, and she couldn't help but look annoyed.

At this moment, the waiter came to Diamelissa's private room with a reward of ten thousand gold, and said, "Your honor, you have won again this time. ”

When Diamelissa heard this, her face was surprised, and she asked, "I obviously bet on the blue team to win, how can there be a bounty?" ”

The waiter pointed to the man in the private room No. 46 and explained, "In reply to you, it was the nobleman of No. 46 who bet on the red team for you, so he won a lot of money. ”

Diamelisa was stunned when she heard this, she couldn't help but look at the No. 46 private room, only to see the man gently shaking the folding fan and bowing slightly to the beauty from a distance.

Diamelissa said to the waiter, "No need, you can take it back, this is not my winnings." ”

When the waiter heard this, he had no choice but to withdraw from the private room, he was only responsible for passing the word, and the people on this high platform were either rich or noble, and no one could afford to offend.

Seeing that her master was frowning, the personal maid guessed that her master was harassed repeatedly and was already a little tired, so she proposed: "Princess, it's too late, and we have won a lot of money, why don't we go to Qingyang Lantern Street to have a look?" ”

When Diamelissa heard this, her eyes lit up, so she agreed to the maid's suggestion, and got up and went out of the racecourse to go back to the city to visit the Lantern Street.

The street is located in Dongcheng District, lined with all kinds of lantern decorated shops, selling everything, food and clothing are readily available, especially famous for all kinds of pastries to eat.

At night, the merchants of Qingyang Lantern Street will light the lights, all kinds of lanterns are the best signboards, this is also the famous night market in Qingyang City, usually it is full of tourists, lively and extraordinary, until the beginning of the day, the whole city is curfew, the doors of each street in the city are closed, the lieutenant army guarding the capital begins to patrol the streets, the prosperity of the Lantern Street will fall in one fell in one day, as if it will be silent overnight.

Diamelissa has a soft spot for Flower Street and almost always comes here for recreation, and today is no exception, she is dressed in fine clothes and hires a two-person sedan chair driver to visit the place.

Diamelisa is a human being, and there are twenty Nanban warriors in strange costumes around her, and every time she comes here to shop, she attracts everyone's sideways glances, but it has become a scene of Lantern Street.
