A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu
Chapter 103 Opening
Although Ying doesn't care about the competition, she is curious about everyone's abilities.
"There hasn't been this kind of competition in Beijing for several years. Who knows who is stronger now?" Zhuang Yunlin answered her question lightly.
This is indeed the case. There are often competitions that can reveal the level of the players. Now, it is hard to say what the result will be.
"When competing against the emperor, would those people deliberately not dare to score?" Lin Qingyang asked.
"This kind of situation will happen. We'll see how he performs. If the emperor doesn't have much playing time, then it won't matter. A game with fierce competition will still be more interesting." Yang Ting explained.
"Then how long will it take you to compete?" Lin Qingyang thought that it wouldn't be possible to finish the competition in one day!
"Three days." Xiao An Wang replied...
The venue for the polo match has been prepared, and the selection of concubines in the Prince's Mansion has also ended.
On the first day of the polo match, the four concubines of the Prince's Mansion will make their first public appearance, and the Queen will bring them along.
It was a sunny day on the day of the competition.
The four concubines in the Prince's Mansion are already known to everyone, but they have never shown their faces.
Many people had already taken their seats according to the seats that had been assigned in advance. The Queen and the concubines from the Prince's Palace were the last to take their seats among all the spectators.
The queen is dressed in bright and beautiful palace clothes, showing her noble status. The four beautiful concubines behind her are wearing clothes in "pink, blue, purple and green" respectively.
Lin Qingyang knew who those people were, but she didn't have the polo match to watch in her previous life, so before the game started, the four people from the Prince's Mansion were naturally the most popular.
The contestants and spectators were divided into north and south, and the spectators were divided into left and right of the queen's seat. The left side was almost entirely composed of the Crown Prince and Prince Shun's team, and the right side was composed of the Emperor and Prince Qi's team.
Lin Qingyang and Zhuang Weining sat on the right side of the main seat, along with Aying. She didn't want to cheer for anyone, she just wanted to watch the game with people she was familiar with.
The three of them looked at the four new concubines of the Prince's Mansion sitting in the main seats, and they all looked very happy.
The one in pink is Lin Meir, granddaughter of Prime Minister Lin; the one in blue is Xiao Caihe, niece of the Queen; the one in purple is Jiang Yinger, daughter of Minister Jiang; and the one in green is Cui Jiaojiao, daughter of Minister Cui.
I heard that these four people were chosen by the Queen. Just looking at their identities, we can tell that they are all high-ranking officials and the backbone of the court. However, they are all daughters of civil officials.
I wonder what the emperor thinks about the selection of these people?
Ah Ying was very careful when she spoke. She quietly tugged at Zhuang Weining's clothes and asked, "Your prince is going to marry four wives at once?"
Zhuang Weining looked at Ah Ying's surprised expression and smiled. He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "The four concubines are not exactly the same as wives. They are candidates for the main wife."
Zhuang Weining hadn't said it yet, "When you see the emperor choosing his concubines, you will be even more surprised!" After all, there are not four left, but more than a dozen or even dozens. However, it is not good to say this in this situation.
"The one in blue clothes looks more generous. What's his status?" Ah Ying signaled Zhuang Weining with her eyes.
Zhuang Weining took a look and replied, "That's Xiao Caihe from the Xiao family, the Queen's niece, and her sister is Princess Xiaoshun."
Ah Ying nodded and said, "She is the woman from the Xiao family. She is quite famous."
Ah Ying was not interested in the "gossip" in the capital, but she was doing business with the noble ladies in the capital, so she would always hear some of it.
"It seems that you have heard a lot of things in Beijing. What else have you heard?" Zhuang Weining continued to ask.
Ah Ying smiled, counted on her fingers and said, "Then I'll tell you what I heard, but it's just hearsay, I don't believe it."
Then he started talking, and Lin Qingyang next to him also came over to listen.
"The Queen is a jealous person..." The first one is enough to make people sweat.
"The girl from the Xiao family is a talented lady in Beijing. She is gentle and kind-hearted." Lin Qingyang's heart skipped a beat after hearing this.
"The Zhuang family's daughter is in poor health and may not live past the age of 20, so she has never been engaged." Zhuang Weining's heart skipped a beat after hearing this.
"Princess Xiaoan is beautiful and is favored by many people in the capital. But she ended up marrying Prince Xiaoan. Prince Xiaoan must have a hidden illness and is unable to have children, otherwise how could he have no offspring?" Lin Qingyang's heart skipped a beat after hearing this.
"Prince Qi is a henpecked husband, and Princess Qi is a tigress." Zhuang Weining and Lin Qingyang didn't want to listen anymore.
"Legend has it that the emperor has more than one son..." Zhuang Weining quickly covered her mouth.
"Where did you hear all this nonsense?" Zhuang Weining couldn't let her continue. Although none of her words made sense, it wouldn't be a good thing to let others hear her tell on someone.
Lin Qingyang also patted her shoulder and said earnestly: "These words are all false, so don't say them anymore. After all, if some people hear the following words, it will cause trouble."
Ying blinked and nodded.
After the audience took their seats, there was a ceremony before the competition officially began. Some people beat drums and performed. Finally, the first competition of the day was about to begin.
Before the competition, the four teams drew lots and took turns to compete. The captains of the first day's competition would participate. The first match was between the Emperor and the Crown Prince, and between the Shun Prince and the Qi Prince. The second match was between the Crown Prince and the Shun Prince, and between the Qi Prince and the Emperor.
The first match on the second day was between the Emperor group and the Prince of Shun group, as well as the Prince group and the Prince of Qi group.
On the third day, the two groups with the lowest points competed for third place, and the two groups with the highest points competed for first place.
Before the official start, all members of the four teams will appear, and the teams cannot be changed after their appearance.
The four teams patrolled the field for a circle and then left.
When they returned to the court again, it was the five players from each team that officially took to the court.
The first to take the stage were the five people from the Prince's group, namely Prince Liang Jingquan, Minister Cui, Yang Ting, Prince's personal guard Jiang Sheng, and General Liu Zeyong.
Among the five people, the oldest is Cui Shangshu, whose daughter has just entered the Prince's Mansion. Although Cui Shangshu is a civil servant, he plays polo very well and also led a team when he was young.
The five men rode five tall horses, wearing the same light gray jackets.
Next to appear were the five people from the emperor group: the emperor, the captain Wang Zan, the commander Li Hang, the emperor's personal guard He Qianli, and Wang Zan's father Wang Xiao.
The jackets worn by these five people are light red.
Seeing that the game was about to begin, Lin Qingyang carefully looked for Xiao An Wang on the field, but did not see her on the field.
"What are you looking for?"
A familiar voice came from behind.
Lin Qingyang looked back and saw that the person he thought would appear on the field appeared beside him. Lin Qingyang was stunned.
