Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 1201

"No, we can't give up so easily."

Qin Yingluo gritted her teeth and decided to continue the second half of the game with him.

Both sides were somewhat fatigued by the time the game ended.

As the sun gradually set in the west, it bathed the stadium in a warm yellow glow.

Qin Yingluo's hair was disheveled, with a few strands clinging to her sweat-drenched cheeks. She gripped the reins tightly, her knuckles turning white, and her eyes burned with an indomitable spirit as she stared intently at Murong Chengyou opposite her.

His posture remained upright, as still and steadfast as a mountain on horseback, though there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead and his chest rose and fell slightly.

"Princess, you might as well admit defeat now."

"Otherwise, I'll let you win, but you have to promise not to ask your uncle to break off the engagement in this life."

If he's rejected in public, where will he put his face?

"Giddy up!" Qin Yingluo ignored him, let out a delicate shout, and swung her club towards the polo ball, her ponytail flying wildly in the wind.

Murong Chengyou's eyes sharpened, and he lightly spurred his horse's flanks, charging forward like a black lightning bolt. The two horses passed each other, creating a gust of wind and raising dust that blinded the audience.

"Your Highness, are we really going to do this?"

"Hmm." Murong Chengyou stared at the woman not far away, his face cold and stern.

Qin Yingluo was fully focused on the game. Seizing the opportunity, she struck the polo ball with her mallet, sending it flying like a meteor.

Murong Chengyou, however, had anticipated this. He suddenly turned to the side, his cue stick drawing an arc in his hand, precisely intercepting the shot and sending it in the opposite direction.

Qin Yingluo's strength gradually waned, and her movements became sluggish. Murong Chengyou seized this fleeting opportunity, launching a final sprint like a cheetah. He rode his horse across the field with lightning speed, his mallet swinging rapidly, the polo ball moving like a spirit under his control, unimpeded and heading straight for the goal.

"In!"

At the same time, the time was up.

Murong Chengyou reined in the horses and smiled at the young princess.

Qin Yingluo sat motionless on her horse, her smile more painful than a grimace.

Looking at the polo ball that had already entered the goal, his eyes were filled with resentment and disbelief.

She actually lost to a bookworm!

"Yingluo, you see, the Prince of Liang is not a bookworm..."

Qin Yingluo was in a terrible mood. "Mother, please stop talking. He's not a bookworm; he knew how to play polo from the start. But he deliberately acted weak because he wasn't lying. This kind of person isn't sincere. Can I be happy if I marry him?"

"And look how boring he is..."

Qin Mo and his three sons came over to comfort her.

"This Prince Liang is indeed a good man. But he doesn't know how to cherish Yingluo at all. I think it would be better to break off the engagement," Qin Mo said irritably.

From the sidelines, he saw that Murong Chengyou showed no intention of giving his daughter any preferential treatment and felt that this man was no good.

He doesn't know how to take care of a woman's feelings.

A man like that will harden his heart in the future; how could Yingluo be happy marrying him?

"Yes, Mother, we should support our little sister."

Xiao Rongrong said, "Alright, you can go and talk to the Emperor yourselves."

A marriage decreed by imperial decree—how could it be so easy to break off the engagement?

Besides, didn't you promise in the first place?

Qin Mo: "......"

"Princess, the Prince of Liang's heir has sent a luminous pearl and also asked the Emperor for a favor. He has been granted permission not to take any concubines and to marry only you."

The Qin family members all came to comfort Qin Yingluo.

I missed it; Murong Chengyou just received his reward.

Murong Chengyou was still kneeling before the Emperor and Empress.

The luminous pearl has been delivered to Qin Yingluo.

Murong Yu said, "Yingluo, look how sincere Chengyou is. He was the one who asked to marry you, but his father was worried that the Prince of Qin would not agree, so he came to me for help."

He said so.

If Qin Yingluo continues to act out, she will anger the emperor.

"Yingluo thanks the Emperor for bestowing this marriage upon her."

Seeing that she had stopped making a fuss, Murong Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, it's free time.

"Uncle, is this feasible?"

Murong Yu glanced at him. "What do you think? Are you sure Qin Yingluo won't hate you even more? I'm asking you to conquer her, not to force her."
