Chapter 27 Polo Scheming
The incident in the Hehu paddock last time has almost been found out. The Zhu family is greedy for life and afraid of death. He was able to be stubborn for so long in the past because of the protection of King Gu. His willingness to reveal the truth later was also thanks to Gu Yisheng's skills.
Even Gu Yisheng herself didn't realize that things seemed to be going surprisingly smoothly.
King Gu was banned from the royal palace in Beijing for a month, and most of the other officials were dismissed from their posts, so the matter was over.
In this rare happy time, the plan to avoid marrying Xue Pinggui is also being carried out in detail and orderly. The Holy Spirit decrees that a polo match will be held in the restored Hehu paddock.
Undoubtedly, this is another good opportunity for Gu Yisheng to show off her skills and regain her former glory.
Of course, it is also the best place to meet troubled people——
For example, Chai Er.
Gu Yisheng was talking to the ladies from aristocratic families who were familiar with her, while Chai Er came over in a swaggering manner with a group of people.
"I think the butterfly gown from Xiu Fang Zhai looks good, so I will buy it for my sister someday." Mrs. Liu held a string of Buddhist beads in her hand. Her body was still elegant and pure, but she could not hide her noble temperament.
"Hey, I really didn't expect that 'thousands of people dislike' would talk to my good sisters like this!"
Chai Er obviously spoke in a reluctant tone.
"You, a villain, took advantage of me last time. I won't let you do it today on the racecourse."
Seeing that Gu Yisheng didn't seem to see her, Chai Er made an angry face, said a few words angrily, and left.
"Ladies, put on your power fence, lead your noble horse, and come on stage~"
The official presiding over the arbitration was obviously the doctor Li Jianyi who spoke for him in the court. He still had the same goldfish eyes, giving people a friendly feeling.
"Go quickly, my sisters and I are waiting for you here. I think my sister must be an expert in riding. I have heard of my reputation in the past."
In fact, Gu Yisheng's popularity is not bad. It can only be said that since her personality became desperate to please others in those years, everyone who had interacted with her in the past was a little afraid.
Now seeing that Gu Yisheng is no longer trembling and walking on thin ice, she is naturally willing to continue the relationship.
Men and women lined up on both sides, and polo was a sport that could better highlight the heroic appearance of women after the death of Emperor Shunsheng.
What she was holding in her hand was the Western BMW that Fu Zhiyan had bought for her before leaving. It must have been worth a lot of money - it was all white except for the crow-green tail, hence the name "Dai Mo Snow".
The person who delivers the horse is on the other side.
At this moment, I was staring at the familiar figure with the familiar plum blossom embroidered power fence in a daze, and I almost didn't even notice that the whistle was blowing.
"What are you thinking about, Brother Fu? It's about to begin. We can't lose and let those real dandies and the envoys from the Western Regions laugh at us."
Ji Siming, the eldest son of the royal family, quickly stretched out his polo pole to poke his good brother.
"The two on the left defend, the four on the back charge forward, and the rest move around to intercept!"
Fu Zhiyan issued his own instructions.
His defense and attack were well organized, and his tight-fitting polo suit showed off his physical advantages - he was strong but not burly, everything was just right, just like his friendship with Gu Yisheng.
Polo was originally a game played by the military, so it is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you may be knocked off your horse. In the least case, the skin will be broken and bleed, and in the worst case, hemiplegia.
Chai Er reluctantly followed Gu Yisheng in the same team, and Mi Li's face had never been happier.
"Ms. Gu Sanniang, you have won the prize!"
Gu Yisheng relied on her memory to help the wind pass by and hit the polo into the frame in one fell swoop.
"The sage has a decree. The one who gets the most money will be rewarded!"
The attendant at the saint's side came down from the high stand to read the saint's will.
As the horse rode forward, her purple dress fluttered in the wind, like butterfly wings.
The breeze is rushing, and it feels so comfortable. This is the beauty that she never dared to hope for in her previous life.
The power fence swayed, and under the dazzling light, the girl bathed in the warm autumn sun and continued to persistently search for the next target.
At this moment, another figure in white gauze approached Gu Yisheng like a ghost.
A polo club with the name of the Chai family on it came from behind Gu Yisheng.
The polo ball was now under Fu Zhiyan's control. Gu Yisheng leaned down and was about to grab the ball, but was pulled to the horse by him.
"Fu Zhiyan, what are you doing?"
Gu Yisheng was about to ask, but she heard Fu Zhiyan whisper: "Get down."
Before she had time to react, Fu Zhiyan leaned over Gu Yisheng to protect her on the horse.
Chai Er's pole hit Gu Yisheng's "Dimoxue" and the horse started running wildly.
He didn't make her dismount, but made her horse run wildly.
Dayao law stipulates that if an accident occurs to the livestock or poultry that hurts someone, the owner will bear all the blame.
"This time, let me see how you escape!"
Chai Er thought bitterly in his heart.
"Fu Zhiyan, ride faster, I have to catch up with my horse!"
Gu Yisheng quickly straightened up and said to Fu Zhiyan.
Fu Zhiyan glanced at her angrily, not sure if it was because of the "Fu Zhiyan" who called him by his first name, but he still hurriedly sped up the horse.
The polo ball followed the figures of several people playing horses, and Dai Moxue was about to step out of the fence and chase the wind, but the horse was galloping freely.
Fu Zhiyan was very powerful and successfully reduced the distance between his horse and Dai Moxue to the point where Gu Yisheng could reach them.
She jumped off Fu Zhiyan's horse, her skirts like retreating clouds in the sky.
She pulled hard on the reins to turn the direction, until her hands were bleeding.
Thanks to Gu Yisheng's diligent training with Fu Zhiyan, and the fact that Dai Moxue was a good horse with a docile and loyal nature specially selected by Fu Zhiyan, they were able to get back on track without hurting anyone else.
At this moment, the polo came to a halt between Fu Zhiyan and Gu Yisheng's horses. As the horses passed by, the two swung their clubs at the same time and hit the polo into the frame.
"Dr. Fu Guozi and Mrs. Gu Sanni have won the prize!"
The whistle sounded again, and the polo game was over for the time being.
The entire polo field is separated by the resting seats between the noble men and the noble ladies.
"Yisheng? You play the ball really well. You are well-deserved for your reputation. I think some people have ulterior motives and deliberately fabricate things about you."
Mrs. Liu saw the purple shadow put down the pole and jump over. For a moment, she seemed to have seen what her sister had looked like before.
"Yes, yes, Yisheng, your riding skills are still as good as before!"
Ming Yutong, the second wife of the Minister of Rites' family, came over affectionately and pulled Gu Yisheng.
"Yeah, there's blood on your hands!"
Hai Yuruo, the sixth wife of Guozi's assistant teacher who came around, exclaimed.
"You are hurt?"
Mrs. Liu hurriedly took her hand and took a look. Sure enough, it was full of blood, and there was a deep blood mark in the middle of her delicate hand.
"It's nothing. If you didn't say anything, I wouldn't even notice it."
The left side was just made from a riding crop, and it wasn't that delicate. How could it compare to the frostbite pain on her hands when she braved the heavy snow and dug wild vegetables in the ground in her previous life?
"You girl, you are always so stubborn. Several sisters followed me to get the medicine box. I used to deal with it for my little lady."
Mrs. Liu waved to the other ladies.
Chapter completed!
