Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 973

Huang Xingyue looked at the dark-skinned women from the Wan Kingdom, then quickly retracted her gaze, cleared her mind, and began to play, "If we want to compete, let's compete in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Let's see if the women from the Northern Wing are better, or the women from the Wan Kingdom are better?"

Tanlu was furious. What kind of bullshit did this dog official say? Do you think the women of my Wan country are good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?

Want to slap me in the face? Dream on! Tan Lu suddenly had an idea and stepped forward to pay his respects. "You North Wing women are too delicate. What's the fun of painting rouge all day? Your Majesty, you don't know the beauty of my Wan country women..."

"Oh? What's so good about it?" Emperor Mingde asked very tactfully.

Huang Xingyue was anxious, "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Mingde smiled soothingly, "Don't worry, my dear minister. You are a guest coming from afar. It's not impossible for the host to follow the guest's wishes. It all depends on whether I am interested or not."

Huang Xingyue returned to the queue unhappily. She thought to herself that the emperor was confused. The women of Wan Country were the best at horse riding. If he wanted to bring up horse racing, wouldn't we be doomed to lose?

This is what Tanlu thought, "My tribe is a horse-riding tribe, and the women have grown up on horses, so they also know horse-riding kung fu."

All he wanted now was for Emperor Mingde to quickly take her into the harem. He didn't even want to care about her being a slave or a maidservant or warming her bed.

At least get the person arrested first!

Emperor Mingde was indeed an emperor. He laughed heartily and looked very interested. "Kung Fu on horseback! Hahaha! Could he be a master of polo?"

"Yes...ah!" Although Tanlu was a little hesitant, he had no choice but to agree.

Playing polo was already close to horses, and he was really afraid that Emperor Mingde would change his mind and compete in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Even if the maids he brought with him had not received real training, they had indeed grown up on horseback. Who had not ridden a horse and herded sheep when they were a child?

As for playing polo... it should be okay, right? Tanlu just felt that he was passive at every step, and he shouldn't take these maids as gifts casually.

Emperor Mingde was immediately delighted. "Okay, after I receive all the envoys, I will have a women's polo match. The Ministry of Rites will arrange it immediately."

It's time to do the job! The Ministry of Rites is familiar with this, "Your Majesty, are you going to let the people come to watch the battle as usual?"

"Of course." Emperor Mingde smiled. "Since it's a competition, we should be open and honest. No one should hide anything. Don't you agree, Ambassador Tanlu?"

Tan Lu agreed. Although he thought Emperor Mingde was a little weird because of his excessive enthusiasm, he still believed that the Wan people would never lose on horseback.

Emperor Mingde was in high spirits. "It's a good opportunity for my women's polo team to see the world! If they win, the girls will stay and teach them skills. If they lose...hahahaha, I believe that the girls who grew up on horseback represent the face of Wan State and there is no way they can lose..."

After saying this, without waiting for Tanlu to continue speaking, he let Zeng Qixian take him down the hall.

Zeng Qixian was humble and polite. "Lord Tanlu, please be prepared. I will come in person at 3 p.m. to invite you and the women you brought with you to participate in the polo match. If you win, you can keep them; if you lose, you can take them away."

Tanlu said angrily, "What does your emperor mean by this?"

Zeng Qixian's face, which was originally full of smiles, gradually turned colder, and his voice was calm and cold, "Don't you understand what my emperor means? Do you think that my Northern Wing country is in need of a few maids?"

Tanlu was startled. "What maid? This is..."

Zeng Qixian looked gentle, but the more gentle a person is, the more frightening he is when he becomes sinister. "Ambassador, please take care of yourself and don't treat others as fools."

After saying this, he put on a warm smile again, as if he had never said such cold words before, and turned around to lead the envoy of another country into the hall.

So at the 3:00 p.m., Zeng Qixian came to invite Tanlu and several maids to the North Arena to play polo.

Envoys from all countries have arrived, as well as civil and military officials from the North Wing, and... the familiar ticket selling mechanism of the Ministry of Rites has been activated, and the people can use their tickets to enter the stands to watch the show.

Tanlu was stunned when he walked into the arena with four women.

What is this? Drums, flutes, and string music linger in my ears.

Zeng Qixian came over and asked, "Ambassador Tanlu, should we use the horses from my northern wing, or the war horses from your country of Wan?"
