Aying and the others saw several people standing behind the tree.

"You are sneaking around like that. Is there something shameful about you? You are eavesdropping."

The person who spoke was Zhuang Weining.

"Hey, what's wrong with my sister today?"

Zhuang Weining, who entered, was less gentle than usual.

"What kind of wind brings you all together?" Zhuang Weining continued.

The three grown men chuckled.

Prince Xiao An spoke first, "I'm here to pick up my princess, you guys don't have any objection, do you?" After saying that, he sat down and showed no intention of leaving.

Zhuang Yunlin was not a polite person either, so he sat down as well.

This is Yang Ting's home, so there is no need for him to be polite.

"You guys chat about your things, and we have our own things to do." Yang Ting explained, and the three men really started chatting.

Aying and the others came to try the tea. After they finished the tea, there was nothing else to do. They just chatted for a while. Now the three women just sat there and listened to their conversation.

Since the three men's conversation was open and aboveboard, they had no fear of being overheard.

After listening to them for a while, I understood that their topic was about the polo match next month.

"There's going to be another polo match, right?" Zhuang Weining was the first to get excited.

"The last polo match in Beijing was five years ago. I was still young at that time, but my brother and cousin were already very outstanding. Time flies. Princess Qi's eldest brother is no longer with us."

There are often some grand events in the capital. In addition to the spring hunting, there are also polo matches, archery competitions, Cuju competitions, and various grand events in which men and women of noble families can participate.

The royal polo matches are played among the royal family and the emperor's confidants. They are large in scale and have high stakes, but they have not been held for several years. There are some smaller matches in private, but polo matches have certain requirements for the venue, so they are not something that ordinary people can host.

"Are you all going to participate this time?" Lin Qingyang asked the three of them. It seemed that it was indeed only Prince Xiao An. After all, someone once said that he was not good at Cuju, but good at polo.

"We will definitely participate. The emperor has specially appointed four captains. These four captains can choose their own members. After the royal family members have been selected, the rest can be placed by their own confidants." Zhuang Yunlin said.

Lin Qingyang asked curiously: "Who are the four captains?"

Zhuang Yunlin deliberately didn't answer her question and asked, "Guess who it could be?"

How could Lin Qingyang know who would be trusted by the emperor and who played polo well? So he shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Little Prince An raised the corner of his mouth slightly and glanced at Lin Qingyang. Coincidentally, Lin Qingyang also glanced at him at this moment.

Zhuang Yunlin pursed his lips, pointed at Zhuang Weining, and said, "Ning'er, who do you think it could be?"

Zhuang Weining tilted his head in thought, stretched out his left hand, and pointed at the fingers of his left hand with his right hand, analyzing: "Logically speaking, the prince is naturally a captain, and the cousin is also a captain. The remaining two people may be Prince Shun or my brother, or the prince of Qi. After all, you are of the same age and are royal relatives."

Zhuang Weining knew the rules for selecting people. The captain must first be able to play polo and be a royal relative. Needless to say, the crown prince would definitely be selected. Prince Xiao An was good at playing polo, and there were not many royal relatives left.

"It's the same as saying nothing. No royal relative is left out." Yang Ting continued with Zhuang Weining's words.

“Who it will be depends on Uncle Emperor’s mood. Maybe he’s even a captain!” After Zhuang Weining finished speaking, everyone looked at her.

"I got it right?"

The three men nodded.

"The captains of the four teams are the Crown Prince, Prince Xiaoshun, Prince Qi and the Emperor." Zhuang Yunlin put his hand on the table and said while "stroking".

Ah Ying had been listening nearby and suddenly asked, "Can I go to the game?"

Zhuang Yunlin pointed at Yang Ting and said, "Yang Ting will participate in the competition, and you can just follow the Yang family."

Ah Ying nodded, and her expression did not reveal whether she was happy or not. If she liked this competition, she should show her happiness, but she did not seem to be enthusiastic about the competition. Perhaps she was the only one who was interested in these competitions!

"General Yang, you have already been divided into groups. Don't keep us in suspense and tell us who you are in the same group with!" Lin Qingyang was quite curious. With the emperor personally participating in the competition, the competition might not be exciting, but at least it would be "grand".

Zhuang Yunlin looked at the women around him, then at Prince Xiao An and Yang Ting. Seeing that the two did not rush to answer with him, he spoke up:

"The prince group: including the prince, the Cui family father and son, the Yang family father and son, etc.

Shun Wang Group: Shun Wang and his son, Xiao family boss, Ping An Hou, etc.

Qi Wang Group: Qi Wang and his son, my father and I, Commander Shen, etc.

The emperor's group: Commander Wang Zan and his son, Commander Li Hang and Prince An, etc.

Zhuang Weining frowned and sighed, "You three will be in three teams. Who should I cheer for?"

Zhuang Yunlin said, "Of course it's for me and Daddy. Do you want to cheer for others?"

Zhuang Weining pouted and said nothing.

Lin Qingyang looked at them and asked, "Why is the number of people in each team different?"

Xiao An Wang smiled lightly, looked at her and explained, "It's not that the number of people is different, it's that each team only has five people on the field, but the substitutes are not fixed, so there will be some people that everyone doesn't know. When the game comes, they need to be divided into groups according to the teams. Teams cannot exchange members. People who are not on the list can now switch teams at will."

Lin Qingyang nodded.

Ah Ying asked, "That is to say, those who are not on the list, even if they agree to be on your team now, may run to someone else's team before the game, right?"

The three men nodded: "Yes, but this situation is rare. After all, those who can be captains have high status."

"Are all the participants in the competition men?" Aying asked again.

Yang Ting turned around and looked at her: "Why, do you want to go on stage?"

Ah Ying neither confirmed nor denied it.

Zhuang Yunlin said with a smile: "Men who want to participate may not be able to play, let alone women. However, if you are good at polo, you may have a chance, but you must wear men's clothes."

Ah Ying wasn't thinking about herself, she was just curious about the rules of the game.

Lin Qingyang seemed to see what she was thinking and reached out to pat her hand on the table.

Lin Qingyang did not ask. She knew that Ah Ying had many secrets. Some of them were known by the Yang family, and some were not known by the Yang family. Since they were secrets, others would definitely not tell them. As long as Ah Ying did not do anything to harm others, it would be fine.

"Looking at the current grouping, which team is stronger?"

This time, Ying asked questions about the strength of the four teams. There will definitely be winners and losers in a competition, and she just wanted to have an understanding.
