Unexpected guests came to the racecourse. Princess Lu came with many unfamiliar faces, including foreigners. You could tell from their clothes and facial features.

Chen Xiuyan did not recognize some of the ministers, but Chu Wenqian recognized them all. Those who came were several officials from the Ministry of Rites and several officials from Honglu Temple.

"The Prince of Jin, his concubine, and the veteran took several princes, concubines, and princesses from Annan, Korea, and Tatar to see the scenery of the capital. Several princes, concubines, and princesses wanted to ride horses, and they met Princess Lu. Princess Lu said to you

The racecourse here is the largest and best in the capital, so I brought people here." Mr. Gao, the minister of Honglu Temple, explained with a smile.

"Welcome, welcome." Chu Wenqian invited everyone into the tented camp.

The arrival of Princess Lu and her entourage caused everyone in the racecourse to stand up and come to see the ceremony.

"This costume is a riding uniform. I didn't expect the riding costumes of Chu women to be so elegant and beautiful." The speaker was a Tatar princess with white skin, a high nose, and blue eyes. Her Mandarin was hard to pronounce, but it made people listen.

Understand the meaning.

"I didn't expect that the eldest prince and concubine Chu Guo spoke so well." Minister Zuo of the Ministry of Rites praised with a smile.

"Chu and Tatar have been friends for decades, and the two countries have been intermarrying for many years. Not only do we Tatars speak everything, but 30% of them can speak a few words of Chu dialect." The eldest princess explained with a smile, "Yes.

Okay, what are the wooden sticks in your hands for?"

"Your Majesty, this is a polo stick used for playing polo. You ride on a horse and hit the ball with the stick to score points in the opponent's goal." explained the left minister of the Ministry of Etiquette.

"It's similar to Cuju." The eldest princess said with a smile, "It's just that Cuju is kicked with feet, there is no horse, and there is no stick."

"It's the same reason." Master Gao, the minister of Honglu Temple, agreed.

"Then can we play? I think it's all women playing polo." The eldest princess was a little ready to make a move. Tatar is a country on horseback, and even women are good at riding and shooting.

"Of course." Qin Wanqing immediately replied loudly, "This is a competition between women. It is an honor for us how the eldest prince and concubine can join."

"Our Crown Princess is the eldest daughter-in-law of the King of Jin. I want to be together and fight with the eldest prince and concubine." Qin Wanqing still hated Chen Xiuyan. If she couldn't invite him, he would not trust Princess Lu, the eldest prince and the others.

I can't even invite her.

Chu Wenqian frowned slightly when he heard this, "The children at home are still young, so my wife still won't participate."

"The King of Jin is very brave and good at fighting, but I didn't expect that the eldest son and his eldest daughter-in-law are both timid. They don't even dare to play polo, even if they don't go into battle to kill the enemy. It's true that one generation is inferior to the other."

The people who directly harmed the Jin Palace were the people from the Lu Palace. Princess Lu really did not miss any opportunity.

"It's hard to reject a warm welcome, so I'll take the stage." Chen Xiuyan agreed with a smile, not forgetting to look at Princess Lu and said, "Actually, the prince is not worried about me, Princess Lu is too worried."

Princess Lu was stunned for a moment after hearing this. She wasn't worried about who Chen Xiuyan was worried about, but she couldn't be worried about the person she was facing.

Qin Wanqing also went into battle this time, paired with the eldest prince and concubine of Tatar, the princess of Korea, and the third prince and concubine of Annan Kingdom. There were also several young ladies from military generals' families in this team, which looked very strong in combat.

Chen Xiuyan joined Miss Qi San and Miss Wen Wu, most of whom were beauties who had not yet left the court.

There are eight people on each side.

Chen Xiuyan did not come on horseback, but chose a maroon mare raised by Prince Jin's Mansion in the racecourse. She had a strong body and looked very powerful. Chen Xiuyan took advantage of the opportunity to go and change her clothes, and then got familiar with riding a horse.

Chen Xiuyan got on the horse in a well-behaved manner, and she was gentle and gentle when riding. There was no strength at all. Those who didn't know better thought she was riding a horse for fun.

"Isn't it the first time for the Crown Princess to ride a horse?" Qin Wanqing looked concerned when he saw this, but in reality he was mocking, "If the Crown Princess doesn't know how to ride a horse, it's better not to participate in the competition."

"Since you have chosen to compete, of course you can ride a horse." Chen Xiuyan replied with a soft voice.

"The Crown Princess doesn't need to worry too much. After all, we are playing a small friendly polo match. It won't hurt our lives. At most, we bump into each other. As long as the Crown Princess holds the reins and doesn't fall off the horse, she won't be seriously injured." Qin Wanqing

Pretending to be generous in giving experience.

"You don't need to remind me." Qi Shuyi rode to Chen Xiuyan's side, looked at Qin Wanqing and said with a displeased expression, "Don't do anything secretly, who can fall down? Don't just rely on your own family background to be a military commander, so you have high ambitions and low abilities.

, you should pay more attention to yourself."

"Shu Yi, please be more careful." Grandma Qi was very concerned about this sister-in-law. She was the only one in the huge Qi family who could make her feel warm.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry."

"Huh." Qin Wanqing hummed softly, pulled the reins to the side of the Tatar prince and concubine, and explained to her some rules of playing polo with a smile.

Qi Shuyi also explained it to Chen Xiuyan. Chen Xiuyan had good understanding. She understood after listening to it once. In sports and competition, the rules are basic, but the most important thing is technique. Chen Xiuyan is now familiar with the bay horse, and the ball in her hand

The staff can also be used flexibly and freely. Among other things, Chen Xiuyan has a very high hit rate.

Wearing the blue silk scarf representing the team, Chen Xiuyan got ready. The red team took the ball first. As soon as the bamboo whistle blew, eight people on the opposite side drove their horses at the same time. The Tatar Princess held the ball neatly with a stick and looked at the posture.

He's a martial artist.

Qi Shuyi is the best polo player in Chen Xiuyan's team. She stepped forward to grab the ball. The eldest princess passed the ball to the right. Princess Korea accurately caught the ball and passed several opponents on horseback. She passed the ball cleanly in front of the goal.

Passing the ball neatly, the ball reached the horse of the princess who was already ready to hit the ball.

With a "pop" sound, an accelerated circular trajectory went straight into the blue team's goal.

"Wow, the eldest princess, Princess Korea, you are so amazing." The girls on the same team cheered excitedly, and the officials and teenagers watching the game also exclaimed unexpectedly.

"Polo is our Chu State's pastime. If we lose in this game, Chu State's face will be lost." Princess Lu said lukewarmly, "As the protagonists of the racecourse, the Prince of Jin and the Crown Princess of Jin

You have to take some responsibility."

Both Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan could guess what Princess Lu was thinking. This was why Chen Xiuyan wanted to play in person. They couldn't lose in this game with foreign envoys present.

The team that scored continued to hold the ball. The eldest princess, Princess Koryo and the rest of the red team were able to cooperate tacitly. The most important thing was that they had good basics, passing and dribbling very neatly.

Qi Shuyi became a little impatient. She had played well in the previous games, but now her morale in the formation was disturbed by the opponent. She was playing unorganized and her level was only half of the previous one. If the opponent's scoring situation was not broken, this game would be

They are doomed.
