As soon as this speculation came out, Cui Jiao was born to escape, but Dian Cangcheng was beside her, she couldn't escape if she wanted to, so she could only comfort herself, maybe she was thinking too much.

"As Cang Cheng said, His Highness also has to participate?"

Diancang replied to her, "I don't dare to discuss my intentions." ”

Cui Jiao knew that she couldn't find anything out of his mouth, so instead of thinking about it herself, she should take the initiative to ask.

When accompanying the waiter that night, Cui Jiao took advantage of Fu Yan's tea to ask him timidly, "The concubine heard from Dian Cangcheng today that there will be a polo match in a month, and His Royal Highness is injured, is there no need to play?" ”

Fu Yan looked like a smile, "What do you say?" ”

Cui Jiao stammered, "Your Highness is saying, is it ...... say"

"You play for Lone," Fu Yan said as she stuck in her throat.

Cui Jiao trembled and grabbed his sleeve and said with tears, "The concubine is afraid." ”

She is really afraid, not to mention whether she can learn polo in a month, even if she learns it, on that occasion, she goes to play polo with many Langjun by a girl, where is the rules, then the saint will be angry, and it is she who will lose her head, what can he do.

He is really a vicious and cunning person, she is so flattering, he is so ruthless, but as long as she has the ability to protect herself, she must be self-evident with him.

Fu Yan's face was expressionless, "It turns out that the sentence that I learned polo well for Lone is a lie." ”

Cui Jiao felt more and more angry, but he couldn't let him see it, tightened the sleeve, and two tears rolled down his bare white cheeks, and said mournfully, "The concubine is willing to die for His Royal Highness, I only hope that His Royal Highness will remember the concubine after the concubine dies." ”

Fu Yan pursed his lips, after saving people halfway, he always suspected that she was a spy, and coquettish words were just a means to confuse him, he asked Zhang Yuanyi, the Zhang family and the Cui family did have an unmarried relationship in the past, Zhang Dalang was not two months ago, Zhang Yuanyi sent someone to Qinghe, asked Cui's to marry his daughter, Cui's sent the second daughter of the long house Cui Qiniang to Chang'an, according to Zhang Yuanyi, Cui Qiniang met Shui Kou on the road, and the person died, so coincidentally he and his son achieved a secret marriage.

and Cui Jiao's words can match, Cui Jiao also said that she was recognized by Cui's Changfang as Cui Qi Niang, and came to Chang'an to die for the daughter of the Changfang.

Zhang Yuanyi also went to recognize the corpse he brought back that was killed by Shui Kou, which contained the elder of his house, at least Cui Jiao didn't tell a lie.

Today, Cui Jiao sent a letter to her family behind his back, in which she reported her brother's safety, hoping to meet her brother in Chang'an in the future, but it was just a common thing for brothers and sisters.

She is just a little lady who strayed into Chang'an and regarded him as heaven and earth.

Fu Yan watched the two tears fall down his chin and flow through his neck, and the circle of marks on his neck was much lighter, such a thin neck, he could pinch it off with one hand.

"Your life and death are determined by Lonely, and if you lose, Lone will kill you."

Cui Jiao shrank and subconsciously loosened the sleeve.

Fu Yan stared at the sleeves that she let go, turned her face suddenly, and after a while, a soft girl timidly pinched the corner of his clothes again, "The concubine must win the polo match for His Highness." ”

Fu Yan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly returned to indifference.

--

Cui Jiao put down her words in front of Fu Yan, so she could only learn hard, she was taught by the female official of the palace Wufang envoy (1), who has a good temper and is extremely patient, Cui Jiao is not a stupid person, under her order, it only takes a few days to ride a horse easily in the field.

After learning to ride a horse, Fu Yan sent someone else to teach her to play polo, she can juju, how to play polo, and I probably know it after watching a few games.

She learned to ride a horse for a few days, the horse was wild and untamable, playing polo and extremely physically demanding, tired not to mention, the skin on the side of her leg was also grinding pain, when she took off her clothes at night, the skin was broken, sometimes she couldn't help but cry secretly, scolded the prince, and relieved her anger, once she was bumped into by Mu Xiang when she cried, fortunately she scolded the prince in her heart, no one heard, Mu Xiang helped her apply the wound medicine, and went out and told the other two female histories that she was hiding in the room and crying, and her body was also injured, and this word reached Fu Yan's ears in less than a day.

Fu Yan fell on deaf ears.

Within two days, the military general gave Cui Jiao a new horse, the new horse is very close, running as fast as lightning, the size is smaller than the previous horse, but the horse's mane is yellow and white, according to the general, this horse is a tribute to the tribute horse Zhaoye jade lion and the yellow horse in the East Palace stable crossbred born, because of its mixed coat, the prince rarely uses it, but this horse is the fastest horse in the East Palace stable.

The prince named it Feather, meaning that it would be more than a bird. ②

Cui Jiao is like a fish in water after getting the feather, and she is also handy when she learns polo, and soon she memorizes the tactics taught her by the martial artist, Fu Yan set up a polo team for her, a total of five people, all of whom are generals drawn from the Ten Rate Mansion, these people are in charge of the soldiers, and they have their own abilities.

Cui Jiao's polo skills are in the same vein as the prince, and she is more slender than Langzi, so she can easily avoid pinching attacks.

Cui Jiao is also becoming more and more confident, and sometimes she is a little looking forward to the polo match.

A month later, as Dian Cangcheng said, the emperor announced to the world that a prisoner ceremony would be held in Zhaoling, and before that, the emperor would first hold a polo match in the west inner garden of Daming Palace.

On that day, Cui Jiao followed Fu Yan into the West Inner Garden, Fu Yan arrived later, when they entered the table, the emperor on the table was talking and laughing with several mothers, and down were the princesses and kings, the emperor did look at Wen Weak, the queen and the emperor sat side by side, and they were as dignified as when Cui Jiao first saw her.

The emperor was amused by one of the maids, patted the lady on the hand, and saw that her face showed the shame of a young girl, she was different from the queen, even if she wore a gorgeous dress, the bookish atmosphere on her body was very strong, although she was not a beauty who captivated the country and the city, but she had charm.

Cui Jiao was reminded by Nanxing behind her, and realized that this was Wang Guifei, the biological mother of Xiangwang Fu Chengze.

Nanxing quietly told her that the emperor's relatives and relatives would not recognize the wrong person.

When the prince arrived, the emperor and the concubines stopped laughing, and the princes and princes sat down, and the emperor said to the prince under the seat, "The prince has been fighting abroad this year, and I often worry about your safety, and I have to wake up every night in my dreams, and now you have returned safely, I am really happy." ”

Cui Jiao wondered slightly, the emperor seemed to care about Fu Yan very much, not like the rumored dislike, the abolished prince was probably Fu Yan quarreling with him, and he was angry before he said anything.

Fu Yan held the wine cup in his hand and saluted him, "Let Your Majesty worry, the minister's fault." ”

The father and son drank wine, the atmosphere on the field was slightly relaxed, and the emperor was in high spirits, wanting to call the kings into the Juyang game.

At this time, Sun Zhizhong, who was in the seat, got up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a book of current affairs, and he feels that it is very reasonable, so I will bring it to you today." ”

The eunuch beside the emperor came down and took the bamboo shaft from his hand.

As soon as Cui Jiao looked at the bamboo shaft, she recognized that it was the letter she had transcribed, and it turned out that the prince had the idea of using this book to give advice to the emperor.

The emperor took Shi Wuce and looked at it, his face sank, and he threw Shi Wuce on the table, "An unknown Shi Wuce, what's so good?" ”

No one in the seat dared to speak.

The emperor didn't want to kill Niu Gongwei, and the prince felt that he should kill him.

Cui Jiao vaguely understood that the emperor and the prince had a dispute over this matter, and even more wanted to abolish the prince for this matter, but Niu Gongwei was a thief, why was the emperor unwilling to kill the thief?

The queen played a round, "Your Majesty, it's time to start." ”

The emperor's face was slightly pale, and he said, "Let's start." ”

Fu Yan is a winning general in polo matches, in the past, with him, the kings could not beat him, over time, to avoid the enemy with him, but now he has injuries on his body, it is estimated that he will not play, most of them are relieved.

But who knew that Fu Chengze came over and smiled at Fu Yan and said, "The third brother will play today, I still want to compete with the third brother." ”

He is only seventeen or eighteen years old, different from Fu Yan's cold face, he was born with a smiling face, and Fu Yan is three points alike, not as handsome as Fu Yan, the two brothers are like the emperor, but the emperor is not in good health, and he looks much weaker.

King Xiang didn't listen to what he said, Cui Jiao felt that he was even vicious, knowing that Fu Yan was injured, he even pretended not to know and asked Fu Yan to play.

She looked at the queen, who was now stumped by Wang Guifei and had no time to take care of this.

Fu Yan smiled a little on her lips, "King Xiang wants to compete with Lone, but Lone can't sweep away King Xiang's interest, so let Lone's palm book compete with you." ”

He turned his face slightly to Cui Jiao, and Cui Jiao took a step forward and saluted Fu Chengze.

Let a soft and soft little lady compete with Fu Chengze, Fu Chengze was immediately unhappy, "The third brother disdains to play polo with me, and he doesn't need this little lady to deal with me." ”

Fu Yan said, "King Xiang may not have beaten her." ”

The people in the banquet were all watching them, and Fu Chengze was agitated by the law, and he couldn't get off the stage.

Will he not be able to beat the little lady?

"Since the third brother said so, I want to see how powerful the little lady can be on the court."

He turned around and ordered someone to lead the horse, "As long as you enter, the little lady will cry, and I will not give in." ”

Fu Yan's gloomy handsome face turned away from Cui Jiao, and whispered, "If you win, you will be rewarded." ”

Cui Jiao hurriedly bent her knees, led to the court by Kunlun Manu, the feather had been brought in, Cui Jiao stepped on the stirrup and turned over on the horse, took the stick, and suddenly heard the ridicule from behind, "Such a short horse, if the little lady falls off the horse, don't be trampled to death." ”

She turned her head, it was Fu Chengze riding a horse leading the royal family and other noble children to pass by, and the laughter came from among them.

Cui Jiao saw the killing intent in the eyes of those people, not only was her back cold, she had the support of the prince, they should not dare to blatantly commit murder.

The two teams faced each other in the middle of the field, and the game started as soon as the gong sounded.

Cui Jiao held a stick and quickly hooked the ball and threw it to his deputy, taking the lead.

Fu Chengze and the others didn't expect her to shoot so quickly, Wang Dalang said, "Wang, this little lady is not easy to deal with." ”

Fu Chengze snorted and led people to grab the polo.

The spectators stared nervously.

The two sides met on the field, Cui Jiao and the deputy firmly protected the ball, Cui Jiao was particularly petite and light in a bunch of men, and took her through the court, Fu Chengze and others had no chance to touch the ball at all, but with a stick of incense, they scored the ball and won the first prize.

The audience applauded.

Murong Yan curled his lips slightly, and took a sip of the wine in the glass.

It didn't take long for Cui Jiao's team to win the second and third games, and everyone at the table was gradually attracted by Cui Jiao.

The emperor looked at the flexible and bright figure in the field, and asked the empress sideways, "Is that the female official of the East Palace?" Why haven't I seen it? ”

The queen and the emperor are young couples come over, what he says, the queen knows what he thinks, every year there are flowers and birds to recruit new people in the palace, the emperor's heart to seek beauty has not diminished, to the age of not confused, but more like beauty, but never nostalgic, only Wang Guifei can often get favor.

"She was brought back to Chang'an by San Lang, and she was very loved by San Lang," the queen peeled a lychee.

The emperor thought that she had peeled it for herself, and was about to open her mouth, but she ate it herself, "San Lang rarely has a caring person, does Your Majesty also want to snatch love?" ”

The emperor rested his thoughts, and the queen's hard tone really made him unhappy, but the princess Wang Guifei, who was under him, had already peeled a bowl of watery lychees and put them on his table, and the emperor was slightly pleased.

The queen was born in the Pei family, her father and ancestors followed the royal family who was still reckless in the past, and made a lot of efforts to lay the beam, his father was the heart of An Laochen, and the queen was given to him, he had no feelings for this wife, but Wang Guifei and he had the same heart, poetry and singing, dancing and dancing can be cited as confidants.

--

On the court, Fu Chengze lost several games in a row, and he was already angry, and said to Wang Dalang, who was approaching, "Dare to stop me from winning, teach her a lesson!" ”

Wang Dalang and the rest of the people understood, and immediately aimed at Cui Jiao, she was active in the field like a spirit rabbit, but after all, she was a girl, her physical strength was limited, and she felt tired after winning a few games in a row.

Cui Jiao retreated to the rear at the right time, and Pei Yong was on the wheel.

At this time, the eyes of everyone on the field turned to the main attack of the two sides, and Cui Jiao was no longer so eye-catching after becoming a deputy, so no one noticed that Wang Dalang and others deliberately rode their horses to approach Cui Jiao, and constantly attacked her by grabbing the ball.

Cui Jiao was entangled by several people, barely resisted a few times, or suffered a few times, almost fell to the ground in pain, the person lay on the horse, only to escape, but Wang Dalang in the back chased after him, and he had the posture of killing them all.

The family order lowered his hand to Fu Yan's side, and whispered worriedly, "Your Highness, if it goes on like this, Cui Zhangshu is afraid that he will die on the field." ”

There are frequent accidents on the court, and there are no dead people, Cui Jiao is just the head of the small East Palace, if he dies, I am afraid that the emperor will not pursue King Xiang.

Fu Yan sat quietly, Cui Jiao was an orphan girl, all she relied on was him, and taking her back to the East Palace was not this use? Whether she would die or not was not in his mind.

Jia Ling saw that Cui Jiao was forced to a farther away by those people, if the prince didn't care anymore, he really wanted to die, this little lady looked outstanding, gentle and sensible, got the prince's blue eyes, never saw his pampering and pride, seeing him respectful, such a little lady is really rare, Jia Ling couldn't bear it, and said a lot, "Your Highness, King Xiang is slapping you in the face......"

Fu Yan's face was heavy, he got up from his seat and said to the emperor, "Please stop the polo game Your Majesty, and the minister has something to do." ”

The emperor was on the rise, and said with a bad face, "It's not appropriate to discuss politics today, but I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Fu Yan sat back cross-legged, and turned his head to look at Zhang Yuanyi, who was sitting in the lower corner of the diagonal corner.

Zhang Yuanyi was sweating profusely, trembling, and walked to the emperor's case and knelt down, "...... Your Majesty! Cattle thieves should be punished! Unforgivable! ”

The emperor slapped his hand on the case, "Didn't you play a sparse statement, think twice, and don't kill the old ministers in vain?" Now that you're talking to me about this, you think I can let you do it! ”

Zhang Yuanyi can't say it, the emperor is very nostalgic, Niu Gongwei is now rebellious, but he also opened up the territory of Chifang for Daliang in the past, the emperor doesn't want to kill, he is a waiter who is on the sparse statement, it is a pandering move, but the prince and the emperor have different opinions, the prince even knows Cui Qiniang, Cui Qiniang came to Chang'an Road by the water Kou, if he is still alive, accuse him of killing people for his son, even if he didn't do this bad thing, but with the prince, he has done it.

He could only echo the prince, "The ministers, the ministers didn't think about the benefits and disadvantages before, killing chickens and monkeys, and the evil fang can't stay ......"

The emperor immediately said angrily, "Bring the sword!" I'm going to kill this hillbilly now! ”

Zhang Yuanyi was so frightened that he shouted for mercy, and it happened that Cui Jiao and King Xiang fell off their horses on the court, and Wang Guifei exclaimed, "Your Majesty, Shiro has fallen off the horse!" ”

With this sound, she pulled everyone's attention back to the polo field, and sure enough, Cui Jiao and Fu Chengze both fell to the ground, Fu Chengze struggled to get up, this dared to take advantage of everyone's unpreparedness to sneak attack him, causing him to lose face!

He snatched the horse whip from Kunlun Nu's hand, and was about to whip Cui Jiao.

Cui Jiao trembled on the ground, staring at Fu Yan with red eyes, his eyes were full of begging, Fu Yan's eyebrows moved, and the family order standing behind him raised his voice, "Does the king want to kill Cui Zhangshu in front of His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Fu Chengze glared at Cui Jiao with a fierce face, lost the horsewhip for a while, and was helped to limp over.

Cui Jiao was in pain all over, gritted her teeth and was helped up by the female history, if she wasn't alert, she would have died, the prince didn't want to save her, she was just a puppet used by the prince to suppress King Xiang, it didn't matter if she was dead or alive.

Although the polo match is not over, the victory and defeat have already been divided, especially since King Xiang has not even won a single chip, and some people have secretly discussed.

Wang Guifei felt that she couldn't hold her face, the prince was injured, she thought that she would see Fu Chengze suppressing the prince on the court, but she didn't expect the prince's palm book to beat Fu Chengze and couldn't resist, she glanced at the queen again, the queen was eating the fruit at this time, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were smiling, isn't it just a ridicule!

She has been secretly competing with the queen for more than ten years, originally the queen had no children under her knees, she gave birth to a son and a daughter for the emperor, this East Palace should be her son, but the queen is not unlucky, and even raised Fu Yan, the son of the maid of the Wu Palace, with the support of the queen and Pei's family, Fu Yan can enter the East Palace, but the emperor doesn't like him, otherwise he wouldn't be called Fu Yan.

Wang Guifei's eyes were red, and she complained to the emperor, "Shiro is the son of His Majesty, no matter how bad he is, he should not be so humiliated by the crown prince." ”

The emperor was extremely dissatisfied with the prince at this moment, but in front of the public, it was not easy to attack, and the prince Heng glanced at it, and dispersed, and left with Wang Guifei.

The queen looked at Cui Jiao, she fell from the horse and was not lightly injured, but she didn't cry and cry, she was supported by the female history, An An left separately, and she couldn't help but feel good, it was rare to have a heart, dare to fight against King Xiang, and won the battle, and lost the prince's face.

The queen also left her seat.

--

Cui Jiao took the injury back, and the imperial doctor came to see the injury for her, and she had to recuperate for two or three days, during which the prince never summoned her, until she could get out of bed, and Huang Zhai passed her to serve.

It was twilight, Cui Jiao entered the house and saw Fu Yan sitting in front of the bookcase as usual to hold the scroll, she quietly sat on the side, stretched out her hand to grind the ink, there was still an injury on the back of her hand, it was very eye-catching on the soft white skin, and the prince did not squint.

Cui Jiao grinded the ink, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, she just wanted to have a place to live, and she was grateful to the prince, but the prince viciously asked her to die, and she didn't want to make him care, she was afraid that she would not live to meet her brother.

Her eyes were sore and she was about to cry, so she polished the ink, sat far away from herself, pinched the handkerchief in her hand and wiped it in her eyes.

"Crying for what?" Fu Yan asked.

Cui Jiao held back her crying and said that it was nothing, turned around slightly, wiped away her tears, and wiped them away.

Fu Yan raised her finger and pinched her face and turned to him, tears rolling down her face, and her long eyelashes drooped wet on her eyelids, looking pitiful.

Fu Yan pursed her lips and said, "Lone said that there is a reward, what do you want?" ”

Cui Jiao shook at first, and slowly opened her eyes wide, big enough for him to see the affection in her eyes, she carefully put her face close to him, and didn't notice his disgust, so she boldly puffed out her lips and kissed him.
