The people on the horse were also divided into two groups, one group wore blue brocade clothes, the other group wore apricot brocade clothes, holding a club in their hand, vying for a red hydrangea ball on the ground. The ball was like a red rabbit, scurrying around among the twelve people. A group of people wanted to hit the ball into their own goal, but a group of people stopped it.
One of them was wearing an apricot-yellow cloak, without a crown, but only with a horn-grabbing headband. His eyes were like stars, his eyes were like torches, he was holding the rein in one hand, and the club in the other. He was very vigorous, just like the poem said. , "Raising the hand to catch the flying grass, possessing the body to scatter the horse's hoof", the agility and lightness of the movement is the most outstanding among all.
This person is Yan Li. At this time, he had already grown three beautiful beards, his skin was tight and fair, and his eyebrows were delicate, forming a stark contrast with that beard. And it was this stark contrast that made Yan Li look even more handsome.
I saw him swinging his club, hitting the ball and flying into the air. But he didn't wait for the ball to fall, he rode up on his snow-white horse, stretched out his club, and held the ball lightly and deftly. The ball seemed to be stuck to the inside stick, Yan Li could turn the ball as he wished.
With a pop, Yan Li made a volley and hit the hydrangea ball into the ball socket.
"it is good!"
Immediately, everyone applauded.
"Long live the emperor!"
"The emperor is wise and mighty!"
"The emperor is peerless!"
Words of praise came across the face, and Yan Li was about to blush.
Rong Changan also couldn't help shouting: "The emperor's strike!"
Yan Li got off his horse and came to Rong Changan's car, sweat dripping down his face.
"Queen, you and the princess are here!"
Rong Changan said with a smile: "I used to think that the emperor is a weak scholar who only reads memorials and writes articles in the minister's study, and knows nothing about entertainment. It seems unavoidable! The emperor's polo is really good. It’s so good, even I’m delighted to see it.”
In fact, Zixuan was also very happy watching, the men she likes play so handsomely, how can she not be happy!
"The emperor is wise and mighty, the number one emperor since ancient times!"
Yan Li couldn't help laughing.
Zixuan was a little embarrassed: "I don't know why the emperor is laughing?"
Yan Li took the sweat towel handed over by the eunuch and wiped his sweat: "The ministers are in front of me, flattering and flattering, always saying some big and empty words. Princess Zixuan has learned their tricks, and she also Talking big and empty! I still like princesses telling the truth."
Zixuan's expression was very serious: "Your Majesty, what I just said was from the bottom of my heart, there is absolutely no exaggeration!"
When Zixuan said this, Yan Li felt a little embarrassed: "..."
Rong Changan played horizontally in the middle: "It is said that playing polo was introduced from the Western Regions, so Princess Zixuan should have played polo often when she was in Tianchi Kingdom, and she must have played well. Why don't I chat with the princess later?" , the emperor himself made a call, let's have a contest, how about it?"
Zixuan quickly lowered her head: "Zixuan only plays occasionally, compared with the emperor and queen, there is a world of difference."
Rong Changan put his hand on Zixuan's fragrant shoulder: "Sister, don't be modest, you will know in a while whether you play polo well." Then he said to Yan Li, "Your Majesty, do you dare to challenge? "
Yan Li knew that Rong Changan was a very strong person, since she challenged him, if he refused to challenge, he would have underestimated Rong Changan. Besides, Zixuan has been in the palace for a while, and she doesn't have much fun every day, so she should play with her today.
"Since the Queen and Princess Zixuan have such intentions, I will play a game with you."
Rong Changan waved his hand: "No, we have to win two out of three rounds. The loser has to agree to one condition."
Yan Li was drinking a cup of herbal tea, when he heard Rong Changan's words, he almost spit out the tea. He stared at Rong Changan, his eyes seemed to be asking her: "You don't want to mention Na Zixuan as a concubine again, do you?"
Rong Changan simply ignored Yan Li's eyes, and raised his slender eyebrows: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, don't you dare to fight?"
Yan Li coughed and coughed twice: "Why don't we state the conditions first, if we can do it, we'll bet on the match; if we can't, we won't bet."
Pooh!
Rong Changan smiled. She naturally knew what Yan Li was afraid of.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I won't mention that matter today."
Zixuan widened her dark eyes: "Queen, Your Majesty, what are you referring to?"
On weekdays, Zixuan can call Rong Changan her sister, but in front of Yan Li and the ministers, it is better to call her "Queen".
Yan Li was slightly embarrassed.
Rong Changan took it calmly, the corners of his beautiful mouth curled up, and he smiled slightly: "Sister, it's not a big deal!—Sister has a gift for you now."
"What gift?" Rong Changan had already mentioned it before coming, so Zi Xuan really wanted to know what that gift was.
Rong Changan put the two fingers of his right hand to his lips, and blew a loud whistle. As soon as the whistle sounded, two inner guards rushed over on two horses. Those two horses are very handsome, one is maroon, the other is snow white, and the white one has no stray hairs. Such a horse is truly unique.
The two inner guards came, jumped on the grass, and knelt down on one knee.
"Kowtow to the emperor, empress, and imperial concubine!"
Hong Xiafei kissed Zixuan's cheek, lowered her head, and said nothing. Yan Li has not announced to the outside world that Zixuan will be canonized as a concubine, so the words of these two inner guards really embarrass Yan Li and Zixuan.
However, after Yan Lili thought about it, he knew that this was deliberately arranged by Rong Changan, and he didn't bother to blame the two inner guards. He just stared at the dragon and said:
"There has never been a noble concubine here, what nonsense are you talking about?"
The two guards looked up at Chang'an.
Rong Changan patted Zixuan on the shoulder, and smiled brightly: "Isn't this the future imperial concubine of our Dajing Kingdom! The name now is the same as the future. Your Majesty, am I right?"
Yan Li: "..."
Seeing that both of them were embarrassed, Rong Changan got out of the carriage, took the snow-white horse from the inner guard, and stroked the smooth white fur on the horse.
"I bought this horse from a merchant in the Western Regions, and it cost me 10,000 taels of silver. Many people say that the money was spent unjustly, but for a person who has fought in the battlefield for many years, a good horse is life. What's more, this horse is covered in white hair without a trace of miscellaneous hair. It is the best product in a million. I think it is cheap to buy such a good horse for ten thousand taels of silver!"
Rong Changan handed the reins to Zixuan's hand: "Sister, this horse is a gift from my sister. Today, if you play polo on it, you will surely win the game and kill the emperor!"
Zixuan was taken aback, and quickly handed the reins back to Rong Changan: "Queen, how can such a good horse be ruined in my hands. I usually ride for fun, and a white horse is not very useful by my side. But the queen If you go out often, you should have a good horse. This white horse should be left to the queen!"
Rong Changan still put the reins in Zixuan's hand: "Listen to my sister, and take the horse. The gift I sent out has never had a reason to be returned."
There was no other way, Zixuan had no choice but to accept the white horse: "Then Zixuan would like to thank the queen!"
Rong Changan pointed to the horse: "This horse is very docile, my sister will go up and try it first to see if it sits comfortably."
So, Zixuan stepped on the stirrup, and with the support of the inner guard, got on the horse's back. At the beginning, the inner guard didn't dare to let the horse run fast, but just led it back and forth several times. When Zixuan got acquainted with the horse, and the horse got acquainted with Zixuan, the inner guard dared to let go of the bridle.
"This horse is really docile. When I ride on it, it feels like I'm sitting in a car."
Zixuan remembered the scene of her speeding in the grassland of Tianchi country, so she flicked the whip and crackled.
The horse was in pain, so it galloped quickly, galloping across the green grass. Like a white cloud, it was swept away by the wind.
