Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists
Chapter 159 The Dark Horse
Every subsequent game was a feast for the Bangchui team led by Bai Yue. When the gong signaling the end of the game resounded through the sky again, Shen Qianyu shouted in disbelief to Xie Lingyun beside her.
"Ling Yun, am I dreaming? We actually made it to the final round?"
"It's not a dream, we did it, we really made it to the finals!"
The timidity of the past was no longer in Xie Lingyun's eyes. He responded loudly, as if he wanted to spread this joy to every corner.
In stark contrast to the deserted atmosphere during the preliminary round, the stands were now bustling with people.
The Bangchui team, which has been ranked last for three years, has now become a dark horse that everyone is paying attention to. Everyone wants to know what kind of transformation this team has gone through.
"Xie Shuangbao, why are you so brave today? Shen Zhutou and Sister Wu's performances are also remarkable... Hey, are you even listening to me? I'm talking to you about the game, where are you looking?"
A young man from an aristocratic family cursed at his companions with a look of disdain.
"Oh, that lady in red is so beautiful that it makes my heart tremble. The way she rides on horseback is simply captivating!"
Unfortunately, his companion ignored him completely and just looked at Bai Yue's figure and spoke like an infatuated fan.
"Hmph, no matter how beautiful they are, they won't be the champions. With Prince Cheng at the helm of the Longwei team, their championship position is as secure as a rock!"
Someone snorted disdainfully, his words full of confidence in the Longwei team.
"Oh, I think it's too early to say that. After all, many team members were so bewildered by the beauty in red that they were distracted during the game."
"Although Prince Cheng is a man of steel, who can guarantee that he won't be tempted by such a stunning beauty?"
Someone else smiled mysteriously and said
"If one of them stumbles, it will be hard to say who will take the top spot."
"Bullshit! How could Prince Cheng be the kind of man who is seduced by women? I think you're just jealous of his talent, so you're spouting nonsense..."
"Hey, are you also a supporter of King Cheng? If you don't agree, let's go out and practice later."
While these young men from aristocratic families were arguing fiercely over who would be the champion, there was a harmonious and peaceful scene at the other side of the seats.
"Duke Wu, your young master has truly changed in just three days. That pass just now definitely had the grace of your playing days!"
"Right, right, right. Young Master Shen and Young Master Xie are also very good at playing football. Otherwise, the saying that a tiger father will have a dog son is absolutely true!"
"In my opinion, let's wait and see who will be the champion this year. Who knows, maybe one of the young masters will take the top spot in the end!"
"Haha, my lords, you're too kind. My kid just happened to be lucky enough to make it to the finals. As you know, the champion has always been won by His Royal Highness Prince Cheng. This year, it's naturally him!"
Facing the praise from the crowd, the three dukes were more humble than each other, but if you looked closely at their expressions, you would find that each of them was filled with unconcealable pride and joy.
On the other hand, the atmosphere at the Longwei team's stadium was completely different. People watching the game basically did not dare to make loud noises, simply because the current emperor Yun Ruiyuan was watching the game with a frown on his face and an unhappy expression.
"Your Majesty, we have searched everywhere, but...we have not found any trace of Princess Cheng..."
At this time, a eunuch walked forward cautiously, his voice as thin as a mosquito.
"What?! We've been searching for so long and can't even find her? Where on earth did she go?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Perhaps we can go ask Chi'er. Didn't Chen'er say he saw Xiaoyue with him? Maybe Chi'er knows where she went."
Seeing this, Mu Yuhan hurriedly came to his side and gently soothed Yun Ruiyuan's anger with her unique gentle voice.
"Your Majesty, when I saw His Royal Highness Prince Hui, he was immersed in a gambling game, and there was no sign of Princess Cheng around..."
"That……"
As soon as Mu Yuhan started talking, Chen Yingran knelt on the ground, her eyes red, and spoke with self-blame.
"Father, Your Majesty, and Mother, it is Yingran who is incompetent. The prince has repeatedly told me to look after my sister, but I can't even do this little thing. I truly deserve death!"
"Oh, Sister Yingran, don't take it too seriously. Our third sister has always been free and unrestrained. She was a famous recluse in the Hundred Flowers Country. She would do everything in her power to avoid anyone she didn't want to see."
Seeing this, Bai Ling raised a faint smile and said something that exaggerated.
"Or, why not send someone to ask Qing Chi in person? After all, I did see them interact before. Perhaps Third Sister encountered some troubles because she didn't come to see Father?"
Yun Qingchen wanted to explain for Bai Yue, but Yun Ruiyuan sneered.
"Her legs are on her own body. If she really wanted to meet us, why would she wait until now? Didn't you understand what Ling'er just said? This little girl is obviously hiding because she doesn't want to see us!"
"Father, please don't blame my sister wrongly. Although she doesn't often take charge of affairs in the palace, her respect and love for you, Father and Mother are evident to all of heaven and earth!"
When Chen Yingran heard Yun Ruiyuan say this, she immediately "kindly" defended Bai Yue.
"What? As Qing Jie's wife, it's her job to take care of the household and assist her husband! Now she's unwilling to even take on this responsibility, so how can she have the dignity to hold the position of wife!"
Yun Ruiyuan threw the teacup in his hand heavily, and the crisp sound of it breaking made everyone silent in an instant.
At this moment, the gong signaling the end of the game rang out, and Yun Qingjie and his team, as if born winners, once again easily entered the finals with an incredible score of 5 to 0.
"Your Majesty, the finals are about to begin. I dare to make a small bet with you. Guess who will be the champion of this year's polo tournament?"
Mu Yuhan's eyes moved and she easily changed the topic.
"My beloved concubine, you are wrong. Hasn't the championship position been in the pockets of Qingjie and his men for the past three years? This bet is too boring."
"Alas, Your Majesty, this time is different. A dark horse has emerged in today's competition, and that dark horse is none other than the Bangchui team, which always finishes at the bottom!"
As soon as Yun Ruiyuan finished speaking, his trusted eunuch Ge Shun reported with a smile on his face.
