Chapter 300: Fall off the horse again
When Wei Guifei said a word, many people immediately followed behind.
She is the only palace concubine brought out by Emperor Chengping this time, and naturally many people want to convince her.
Even if it's not a spring hunt, the palace will hold a polo tournament or twice from time to time, not to mention that it's still such a good time for spring hunting.
Wei Guifei has spoken, and naturally someone has stretched out her head to organize.
The county lord of Anmin stood up, glanced at the county lord of Duanjia, and then said with a smile: "I heard that cousin Duanjia's polo is playing well, and I didn't have a chance to see it in the past, but today is an opportunity, why don't we lead a team by ourselves?"
The lord of Duanjia does play a good hand of polo, which is something that is known to the royal circle of Shengjing, and there is no need to cover it up.
Before Princess Wei and Lord Duanjia refused, Concubine Wei had already spoken.
"This palace also heard about this, and today is a rare opportunity, Duanjia will show them these dirt buns with both hands!"
Wei Guifei personally spoke, to this point, unless the Duanjia County Lord is really unwell, it is difficult to refuse.
Chu Lian has read half of the original text and understands that Wei Guifei and County Lord Anmin are not easy to mess with, especially Wei Guifei, she has been in the palace for so many years, how can she not have two brushes.
This thing seems to be commonplace, maybe there is some kind of chicken killing hidden in it.
With such a person who thinks about the eighteen bends of the mountain road, if you are not smart enough, the best way is to keep a low profile.
But today, Wei Guifei seems to be eyeing the county lord of Duanjia, what does she mean?
It stands to reason that King Wei is Emperor Chengping's most valued brother, and King Wei ignores the government and politics, but Concubine Wei has a little eye and wants to play a good identity in Emperor Chengping's heart, she will not be stupid to embarrass the county lord, let alone make enemies of King Wei and his wife.
Chu Lian winked at the Duanjia County Lord, the meaning was self-evident, let her be careful.
Lord Duanjia smiled slightly, when she laughed, she was four or five points similar to Chu Lian, so at a glance, the two were more like sisters.
Sitting next to her, Princess Wei watched this scene and almost lost her mind.
The county lord of Duanjia stood up, "Since the noble concubine Niangniang spoke, Duanjia took the order." ”
"Okay, then we're going to have a good polo game today. Since it is a competition, how can there be no color head, this palace will take out this South Sea pearl bracelet as a color head, and give it to the winning side. Wei Guifei said happily.
The elderly princesses and princesses on the side also took out one or two pieces of jewelry as color heads.
From time to time, there was a small pile of colorful jewelry in the small silver plate of the bright head, which dazzled people's eyes in the sun.
"It seems that everyone is looking forward to this polo match, look at our iron rooster Princess Luo has taken a phoenix hairpin out, Duanjia and An Min, you have to play hard, okay, you each go and choose your teammates, little girl competition, don't choose the elderly, let us old bones have a good rest." ”
Wei Guifei said jokingly, after she finished speaking, someone immediately flattered her that she was not very old, but she was in her thirties, and she was still in her prime!
However, Wei Guifei's seemingly casual words inadvertently set conditions for the two teams.
Young women who play polo can't choose older ones, women in the Dawu Dynasty are big girls after the age of twenty, and Wei Guifei is only in her thirties, so she says that she is an old bone, so the people they can choose can only be women under the age of twenty.
Turning his head, there were very few women under the age of twenty who came from this spring hunt.
Emperor Chengping's generation of Jiulong won the heir, and many royal children died at that time, and there are not many royal personnel until now.
The people on the side have gradually become far away, such as the county lord of Anmin, these people are no longer the real core members of the royal family.
and under the age of twenty, there are few women from spring hunting.
At this glance, few people are eligible.
On the other hand, Anmin County took the initiative to act quickly, and everyone has already been found in these few breaths!
Among them are the fifteen-year-old lord of Nanzhang, the twin daughters of the king of Hexi, Dong'er and Nan'er, and the youngest daughter of the lord of Nanyin, Xincheng Township.
Lord Duanjia immediately frowned.
She looked around, but she couldn't even find a few young women.
Chu Lian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt bad for a while, and glanced at the county lord of Anmin, the corners of her mouth raised a hint of pride, I don't know why, Chu Lian had a feeling that it was not the county lord of Duanjia that they wanted to calculate, but her.
Because the team on the opposite side is all from the royal family, and the worst status is also at the level of a township monarch.
This puts an end to the possibility of choosing a lowly servant girl when choosing a candidate for the Duanjia county lord.
She must also choose a young woman with status, otherwise it will be disrespectful to her opponent.
Dignity is greater than the sky, if the county lord of Duanjia can't get together now, there is no need to compare, their side will already lose, and they will be ridiculed.
The Duanjia county lord has a strong personality and is the most unacceptable to fail.
By nature, even Princess Wei couldn't stop her.
Lord Duanjia looked around, and finally pulled two young women out.
One of them is the princess Xu of the King of Hanjun, she was born in a family of military generals, has a daughter, this year is exactly nineteen years old, this age is already considered to be old, I didn't see the opposite side of the unmarried royal women, the oldest is only fifteen years old.
At the back end, the county lord of Jia invited the second daughter of the king of Luoyang and the granddaughter of the king of Qing, the county lord of Minghui and the county lord of Xirou.
In this way, there are four people in Lianduanjia, the county lord himself.
It's just that there is only one left, but it can't make up enough.
There are a few women of the right age on the county lord of Anmin, but their status is too low, and they don't even have a title.
When the county lord of Duanjia was worried, the county lord of Nanzhang smiled happily, "What's so difficult about this, Jinyi Township Jun is not a ready-made candidate? I see that Duanjia you are so close to Jinyi on weekdays, why did you forget her alone at this time? Could it be that the two of you are unhappy?"
The county lord of Nanzhang is really good at talking, and now Chu Lian has to be on it, if she insists on not being on it, I am afraid that as soon as the polo game is over today, the news of her disagreement with the county lord of Duanjia will be spread.
The county lord of Duanjia was angry, and as soon as he twisted his eyebrows, he was about to quarrel with the county lord of Nanzhang.
Chu Lian hurriedly stood up and pulled her sleeve, shook his head lightly at her, and then turned his head and smiled and said to the county lord of Nanzhang and the county lord of Anmin opposite: "Since this is the case, I will make up the number, but I have never played polo, so please bear with me." ”
"It's just to have fun for everyone, as long as Jinyi Xiangjun can ride a horse, victory or defeat is not the key. The county lord of An Min smiled extremely softly.
Lord Duanjia didn't expect Chu Lian to really want to go, and he was suddenly a little anxious.
"Chu Liu, you fool, you didn't see them and waited for you to jump into the pit!"
Princess Wei also frowned tightly, she was a smart person, how could she not see that the county lord of An Min and the others were simply deliberate.
But what are they trying to do?
"It's okay, I'll just pay attention then. ”
Chu Lian comforted the county lord of Duanjia in a low voice.
Lord Duanjia pursed his lips, and there was a resolute look in his eyes.
She understood that the reason why Chu Lian knew that they were calculating or agreed, it was all for her, for the sake of the relationship between them like sisters, she didn't want others to speculate, let alone her dignity to be violated.
Since she was a child, the county lord of Duanjia had no sisters, and attended various banquets with her mother, and when she saw that her daughter was bullied in other people's families, she always had her sister stand up to protect her, and she wanted to have such a sister at that time.
At this time, the county lord of Duanjia felt that Chu Lian was like a sister.
There was a little more admiration in his eyes.
Of course, Chu Lian didn't find out this, she just did what she felt was right, and she didn't want to be afraid to protect herself.
didn't know that her unintentional actions had captured the county lord of Duanjia and Princess Wei.
So the people of the two teams were decided.
The two teams go to the tent to prepare, pick up the hairpin from the bun and the jewelry on their body, and choose the right polo club and horse for themselves.
When preparing, the county lord of Duanjia did not miss any time to explain the rules of polo to Chu Lian.
Chu Lian kept nodding her head, her memory was very good, in fact, she didn't know it at all, after all, there is also polo in modern times, but the rules are a little different.
She can also ride a horse proficiently now, she is not demanding, as long as she does not become a pig teammate and protects her safety, the rest will be handed over to the Duanjia County Lord.
Whether it is the county lord of Minghui or the princess of the county, they are all good players at playing polo, and the county lord of Duanjia is even more skilled, and it is not difficult to win.
Although the preparation time is not short, it is still very fast for Chu Lian, who is trying to remember the precautions.
The county lord of Duanjia personally selected a horse and a polo club suitable for her for Chu Lian.
Soon, the two parties entered the polo field, and Wei Guifei also took the ladies to the stands of the polo field.
The team on the Duanjia County Lord's side all had a bright red satin strip tied on their arm, while the cloth strip tied on the Anmin County Lord's side was blue satin.
There is a special game instructor in the hunting ground to evaluate polo, and with a loud whip, the polo game officially begins.
The polo was thrown, the reins in the hands of the Duanjia county lord shook, and the handsome white horse galloped out, and when it reached the polo place, the horse's hooves were raised high, and the white horse made a neighing, Duanjia county lord's arm was raised high, she stepped on the stirrup with both feet, and the whole person stood up, her buttocks were suspended in the saddle, the arm angle was subtle, and she grabbed the polo first!
With a strong shot, the polo flew in the direction of the princess.
It wasn't until she played the polo that the county lord of An Min arrived on horseback, missed the best opportunity, and was obviously one move behind.
The county lord of Anmin bit his lip unwillingly, and glared at the county lord of Duanjia with anger.
The county lord of Duanjia fell back on the horse at this time, his chin was slightly raised, the corners of his mouth were raised with excitement, and he glanced at the county lord of Anmin with disdain.
Chu Lian was guarding his own half on the left, watching the Duanjia County Lord and the Xirou County Lord rampage in the opponent's field.
The women's cheers continued, and the competition was extremely fierce.
At this time, the county lord of Minghui suddenly rushed out from the left, her body was almost bent into an impossible arc on the horseback, and the long arm holding the polo stick stretched out, and the polo was actually grabbed by her, and then threw an arc in the air, and within a few seconds, "snapped" and fell into the opponent's net.
Duanjia's red side took the lead to win a point!
The stands erupted in a burst of women's cheers.
Even Princess Wei laughed kindly.
Immediately after that, the red side took another point, and Xincheng Xiangjun's eyes changed when he looked at the county lord of Duanjia.
Chu Lian, a new novice who couldn't be new, felt that he was about to lie down and win.
At this time, from a hidden angle, the county lord of Anmin glanced at Dong'er and Nan'er, the twin daughters of King Hexi.
Nan'er nodded.
This time it was the blue side serve.
The polo was hit hard in the sky by the county lord of Nanzhang, and flew towards the red position on the side of the county lord of Duanjia.
Nan'er and Dong'er, who were in the midfield, flicked their whips and rushed towards the red position.
Halfway through, Nan'er and Dong'er glanced at each other.
As soon as the horse's head turned, he went in the direction of Chu Lian.
As soon as Dong'er polo stick was fished, he hit the polo in the direction where Chu Lian was.
Nan'er shook the reins to speed up the horses under her crotch.
At this time, Duanjia County Lord, County Princess and others were still in the other party's position, and there was no time to rush over before Nan'er Dong'er.
When Chu Lian saw Nan'er and Dong'er rushing towards her, her eyebrows frowned, and she originally felt a sense of danger.
If you hit the horse, you have to get out of the way.
But at this moment, the small polo just hit the buttocks of the horse under Chu Lian's crotch.
The horses were frightened, one neighed and raised their hooves, and they refused to listen to Chu Lian's words and run.
After such a delay, Nan'er and Dong'er both rushed to Chu Lian's side.
They seemed to have no intention of bumping into Chu Lian on both sides, the polo stick grabbed the polo, and Chu Lian was caught between the two of them, and he couldn't move at all.
When Dong'er and Nan'er were grabbing the polo on the ground, the polo stick hit the horse under Chu Lian from time to time.
As soon as they left, the horses suddenly went berserk and tried to throw the man off their bodies.
Chu Lian had not been learning to ride a horse for a long time, and his equestrian skills were not proficient, so he didn't know how to control the horses and pacify the horses at this time.
Princess Wei and the Duanjia County Lord in the distance were anxious, and Princess Wei immediately ordered the maids who knew kung fu around her to rescue.
But it was still too late, the distance was too far, and seeing that Chu Lian was about to be thrown off the horse by the crazy horse.
Finally, Chu Lian didn't grasp his hands steadily, and was thrown off the horse's back by the horse......
She let out a low cry of horror, and at that moment, a handsome fast horse suddenly sprang out from the side of the polo field.
The horse's hooves flew over the wooden railing of the polo field, and then the man on horseback jumped off the horse without regard for his safety.
The slender figure caught Chu Lian, who was thrown into the air, and then pressed it in his arms.
After a while, with a muffled "poof", Chu Lian rolled on the ground several times in a dazzled manner before stopping.
Between the noses is a strange cold fragrance, and the embrace is not the familiar one.
After the panic, Chu Lian stabilized his mind and slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing that catches the eye is the black placket with a collar, then the white skin between the neck, the rolling Adam's apple, and then the smooth chin with stubble marks.
The line of the chin was smooth, not what she was familiar with.
Chu Lian's whole person froze for a moment, and his eyes flashed with negative emotions such as horror, fear, and worry.
This man who suddenly came out was not her husband, He Changdi!
Who is he!
In the next second, Chu Lian felt a tightness around her waist, and a big hand touched her waist recklessly.
Then a familiar voice sounded above his head, "My Lian'er, are you alright?"
Shaw...... Xiao Bojian's voice!
Chu Lian couldn't help but gasp, she was frightened and wanted to push away the man who was holding her tightly with both hands!
But the gap between men and women is really hard to shake, Xiao Bojian's hands are like two iron tongs stuck in her waist, and she can't push them away at all.
Just when Chu Lian didn't throw off the horse, there was an exclamation in the stands, many people didn't expect that a women's polo would have such an accident.
Even Wei Guifei's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
Now, even if you react quickly, it's too late to rush over to save Jinyi Xiangjun.
Just when everyone thought that Jinyi Xiangjun would definitely be half-crippled this time, a person actually got up from the side of the polo field and rushed out, and jumped off the horse at the cost of his life to save Jinyi Xiangjun.
Someone in the stands shouted in surprise, "That...... Isn't that Xiao Zhuangyuanlang?"
As soon as this person reminded him, many people immediately recognized the identity of the person who saved Chu Lian, and it was indeed Xiao Bojian.
Xiao Bojian originally had a good appearance, which was unforgettable, and he was a three-yuan and first, and he had a sense of existence in the minds of others.
There is almost no one in Beijing who does not know him.
It's not surprising that he was recognized on the spot now.
Lord Xiao is talented, and his political views in the DPRK and China are unique, which is admired by many people.
Although he was born in a poor family, he is noble in appearance and clean and self-conscious, and now he is in his early twenties, and he has not yet married, and in order to respect his future wife, there is not even a concubine in the family.
Before marrying a wife, he became a rare candidate for a good son-in-law in the eyes of a noble lady in Beijing.
If it is any county lord and county lord who has not yet been rescued today, it will be a good story, and Wei Guifei will give another marriage, it will be perfect.
It's a pity that it was Jinyi Xiangjun who was rescued, the wife of An Yuanhou, and the young woman who had gone out......
That's embarrassing......
It seems that Lord Xiao is holding Jinyi Xiangjun quite tightly, and his eyes are also full of affection, this ...... There won't be something between these two sooner, right?
Otherwise, Xiao Bojian would rather be seriously injured and save Jinyi Xiangjun at such a critical moment?
Suddenly, everyone's minds had turned one hundred and eighty turns, and all kinds of speculation and gossip were endless.
Princess Wei was the first to react, looking at Chu Lian, who was tightly controlled by Xiao Bojian in her arms and struggling, her face was ugly, and she was about to speak, when suddenly a sound came from the left rear of the polo field.
Everyone subconsciously glanced in the direction of the voice, and this glance was incredible.
Emperor Chengping is here......
Standing not far away, his thick eyebrows were furrowed, his face was majestic, his hands were behind his back, such a powerful emperor was unfathomable, and no one knew what he was thinking.
He led the crowd to stand around that corner, eerily quiet, and the people in the stands didn't know how long he had been standing and how much he had seen.
He Changdi was also on the side, he saw the scene just now like Emperor Chengping, but when they came, they happened to see Xiao Bojian rolling on the ground with Chu Lian in his arms.
His narrow phoenix eyes tightened, staring deeply in the direction of Xiao Bojian and Chu Lian, his whole body pressure was very low, his handsome face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and the hand holding Princess Le Yao couldn't help but exert force.
Princess Le Yao let out a wail and said with a crying voice, "Brother Chang Di, you light, you hurt me." ”
It was this sound that seemed to break the eerie silence.
The wound on Princess Le Yao's leg has been treated and is now secured with a wooden plank.
On Chu Lian's side, Princess Wei's people had already arrived, and the maid who was sent to save people saw Xiao Bojian holding Chu Lian's hand hard, her eyes shrank, as if she said inadvertently: "The countryman is injured, and the slave and maid help you up." ”
Xiao Bojian was finally willing to let go of Chu Lian, and Chu Lian was helped up by the maid first.
She was frightened, her face was pale, and she had a few bruises on her body, but there were no other serious wounds, and there was no serious problem.
The maid breathed a sigh of relief, and then stretched out her hand to help Xiao Bojian get up.
However, Xiao Bojian was much more seriously injured than Chu Lian.
Because when he rolled down, he hugged Chu Lian tightly, all his right foot was injured, and there were large bruises in several places on his body, I am afraid that there are internal injuries, so he must take care of himself.
When the maid helped Xiao Bojian up, she didn't know if he did it intentionally or unintentionally, and her injured foot fell to the side without standing firmly, and that direction was exactly the direction where Chu Lian was.
Although Chu Lian didn't like Xiao Bojian as a person, and even disgusted him, it was indeed a fact that he was saved by falling from a horse this time.
He was about to fall, and she couldn't still push the person away, so she helped him.
However, Xiao Bojian pressed his whole body on Chu Lian's shoulders, and his arms directly supported Chu Lian's waist.
Chu Lian stiffened, and was about to push him away in anger, but Xiao Bojian let go in time, Chu Lian's words hadn't come out yet, and his actions just now looked like he was careless.
Chu Lian glanced at Xiao Bojian suspiciously, and asked in a not very friendly voice, "Is your injury serious?" Thank you for saving me just now. ”
Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze from Xiao Bojian, he caught a glimpse of the group of people in front of him on the left.
The most conspicuous one standing in the first place is, of course, Emperor Chengping, followed by He Changdi.
Chu Lian's clear pupils shrank, and he subconsciously opened his mouth to explain to him.
But when he looked at it, he found that there was another person in his arms......
The figure and the hair bun are clearly a woman......
At this moment, the woman in He Changdi's arms turned her head and smiled mysteriously at Chu Lian when He Changdi couldn't see the direction.
Chu Lian suddenly gasped, Princess Le Yao!
As long as it is a woman, she knows the meaning of Princess Le Yao's eyes, it is a provocation and a declaration of war!
Chu Lian couldn't help but take two steps back, his whole person was like a crumbling fallen leaf, as if he was about to stand unsteadily.
She shifted her gaze to Shanghe Changdi's deep and cold gaze, his face was cold, like an ice brick that could not be covered.
It's chilling to look at......
Chu Lian opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but at this time, He Changdi turned his head slightly and looked away......
Suddenly, Chu Lian's heart felt like someone had stabbed her, her small hand under the cuffs was tightly clenched, and she didn't feel any deep marks when her nails poked into her palms.
For a moment, Chu Lian's mind was in turmoil.
She didn't know when he arrived, nor how much he saw.
If he had arrived early, why hadn't he come to her rescue?
Did he misunderstand her relationship with Xiao Bojian?
