MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 10 polo
In Shanglinyuan, the weather is a little gloomy, it seems that rain is coming, the slanting wind suddenly rises, and the sky is full of flowers.
With the sound of court music resounding through the stadium, princes and nobles entered the stadium one after another.
Qin Yan and Shen Changshan, the prince of the state, and Shen Shiyan, the prince of the prince's house, were brought to the west side stand by the father-in-law who led the way, and sat in separate seats. Jiang Mu, who was behind Qin Yan, was also brought to the seat by Qin Yan's side.
The stand at the north end of the stadium has three parts, the main stand on the north and south side, and the side stands on the east and west sides.
At this moment, the seats in the main stand were still empty. Apart from Qin Yan and the others, there was only Xie'an, Hou of Yongding, in the west stand, and the seat was under Duke Zhenguo.
On the opposite side of the East Stand, there are only three, left and right, with the Minister of War.
There were no officials and family members on the stage, which was enough to see that today's game was different in nature and had almost no entertainment significance.
Qin Xiang glanced at Qin Yan from a distance, he was a little dazed at first, and then hurriedly looked away.
That is his eldest daughter, with a face similar to Shen Shiying, only with her own shadow between her eyebrows. The character is more domineering than Shen Shiying.
Prime Minister Qin should be proud of Qin Yan's actions today, but...
In the past, this daughter has had many conflicts with him. It is difficult to repair the relationship between father and daughter. Thinking of this, Qin Xiang frowned and sighed slowly.
Zuo Xiang next to him also glanced at the west stand. The beautiful woman should be the Princess Zhaoren, also the eldest daughter of Qin Xiang.
It's just that I heard that this woman is in the same situation as the Qin mansion, tsk tsk, the corner of Zuo Xiang's mouth raised a mocking arc, and turned his head to look at Qin Xiang. Seeing Qin Xiang's sullen face, he opened his mouth coldly,
"Qin Xiang, there are very few people who can be in the stands in today's game. Your daughter, Zhaoren County Lord, is incredible. Congratulations to Qin Xiang, this is an honor from your house!"
Qin Xiang felt even more embarrassed. At the beginning, Qin Yan was not in harmony with the Qin Mansion, causing a lot of trouble in the Qin Mansion, which spread throughout the entire Shangjing. Her Qin Yan's glory is not the glory of Qin Mansion, Zuo Xiang is poking his heart.
Qin Xiang turned his face away and did not speak up.
------
On the main stand, Princess Changle, Princess Changle, the Queen's direct princess, Feng Yunchao, and Princess Jingyi, Princess Tongde's Princess Feng Yuyao, entered the arena.
After entering the table, Princess Jingyi Feng Yuyao saw Qin Yan and immediately got up and came over.
Feng Yuyao ordered the palace staff to add a seat beside Qin Yan, and then sat down to chat with Qin Yan.
"Who is this?" Feng Yuyao looked at Jiang Mu.
Qin Yan was reluctant to answer, Jiang Mu's identity was embarrassing, so she made up a statement casually,
"Jiang Mu, my adopted brother."
"Adoption! Younger brother?" Feng Yuyao was surprised, "Xiao Yanyan, you are very capable!"
No official family members were invited in today's game. Qin Yan was only the newly appointed county lord to be able to attend. Even Qin Yan's own younger brother did not have enough identity. And this younger brother with a cool expression actually arranged for a seat, I am afraid his identity is not simple.
Adhering to the harem survival rules learned over the years, talking less and asking less, Feng Yuyao glanced at Jiang Mu with a smirk, and said no more.
In the main stand, Princess Changle Feng Yunchao sipped tea by herself since she was seated, looking indifferent, as if she was not interested in these things. until a sound came,
"His Majesty is here!"
Feng Yunchao and everyone stood up and bowed, "Long live Your Majesty."
"Flat body." Emperor Hui sat on the throne above.
Everyone got up and went back to their seats.
The second prince Feng Xian also came with Emperor Hui. I don't know if it was Qin Yan's delusion, and since Feng Xian was seated at the table, he frequently cast exploratory glances.
Qin Yan ignored it and drank the tea lightly on his own. Today's tea is also a good spring tea, but it is not as refreshing as the one he usually uses on weekdays. It can only moisten the throat and relieve dryness.
------
After a while, the music faded and the drums began to play.
The three teams wearing blue, red and yellow narrow-sleeved jerseys and black boots slowly entered the field on horseback.
The two colors of green and red are the 10-man teams led by Xie Changyuan, commanded by the Shence Army of Beiya, and Lu Shen, commanded by the Longwu Army of Nanya; and the 10-man team led by Shen Ci, the general of the Pingxi Army, wearing yellow jerseys. people team.
In the sound of drums, the three teams rode horses around the field for three weeks, and then they all faced the main stand where Emperor Hui was, and shouted "Longevity without borders".
The sound shook thousands of miles, and the listener's blood boiled.
"Good! Good! Good!" Emperor Hui applauded.
------
As soon as Xie Changyuan entered the venue, his eyes caught the photos of Xie in the Pingxi Army team, and he really looked like Marquis Xie. The eyes of the two met, and they both shot out a cold and cold light.
Xie Changyuan swept across the stands, and when his eyes passed the west stand, his body shook. That was...
Next to Feng Yuyao's seat, Princess Jingyi, is the woman the tea house saw that day, Qin Yan?
Aside from a young boy on the west side of the stand, there are only Shen Changshan, the Duke of Zhen, Shen Shiyan, the prince of the Duke's government, and Xie'an, the Hou of Yongding. And the one next to Feng Yuyao, Princess Jingyi, can only be Qin Yan, the newly appointed county master.
It was her? Your fiancee?
That's right, Qin Yan was Princess Jingyi's companion when she was young, and the two of them had a very close personal relationship. She could only meet Feng Yuyao out of the palace.
It's just that I was influenced by the rumors, thinking that Qin Yan at this time... Thinking about how she was such a pink and jade-carved baby when she was a child...
Quickly retracting his gaze, Xie Changyuan was a little disturbed, what he said at the city gate before...
------
Xie Zhao had been keeping an eye on Xie Changyuan, and he also noticed Xie Changyuan's momentary gaffe when he looked towards the west stand.
The west side stand, that is, Qin Yan?
Xie Zhao only knew Qin Yan's name and had never seen a real person. It turned out that she was such a breathtakingly beautiful woman.
Three years ago, in the Northwest Camp, he stood outside the main tent, like fish on a chopping board, waiting for Shen Changshan, the Duke of Zhenguo, to decide on his stay.
He will always remember that cold female voice, which echoed in countless midnight dreams, resounding in his ears and unforgettable.
"Since he joined the army, his identity has only been a soldier guarding the border and guarding the country. He is the son of all the people of Daxia at this moment. He is no longer the son of anyone, let alone anyone. A man's illegitimate child."
Qin Yan's remarks to Duke Zhen Guogong Shen Changshan decided his fate and spared him the humiliation of Xie Changyuan. At the same time, these words also changed his original intention of joining the army, that shameful original intention...
The Hou Xie'an of Yongding was very pleased when he saw Xie Changyuan appear on the stage. That was his son.
And when Pingxijun's team came out, he saw Xie Zhao at a glance. He had not seen this eldest son for several years. This was the son he had ever been most satisfied with, and the son who looked the most like him, with similar appearance and similar background. This is his pride, a hero can break through the world regardless of his origin.
Xie Zhao looked towards the West Stand, but avoided Xie An's gaze. His life experience used to make him feel ashamed, but now, he just wants to get what he wants or what he used to be unattainable by his own efforts. His eyes turned to the West Stand again, but not at Xie An, but at the amazingly beautiful woman.
------
Three teams moved to the side of the field.
With the rapid and violent sound of hoofs, one person and one horse went straight into the arena.
The horse is tall and strong, and the horse is very good. The ponytail is tied, the whole body is black and bright, only a little white between the forehead.
The man on the horse was dressed in gold embroidered five-clawed golden dragon black clothes, wearing a golden crown, sharp eyebrows, deep eyes, sharp facial contours, handsome and handsome. This is the prince Feng Zhan, the prince who holds the most power.
Feng Zhan holds the reins in his left hand and a black crescent-shaped ball staff in his right.
In the middle of the field, the ball guard threw the red lacquer ball into the air, and Feng Zhan jumped to the front of the ball.
Feng Zhan returned to the horse and stood up, facing the main stand.
Drum bursts, beating drum tee.
Palace people sing,
"His Royal Highness has the money!"
The players of the three armies shouted together:
"Prince Chitose!"
The palace servants brought wine glasses filled with wine to everyone, and Emperor Hui toasted them, "The ruler and ministers drink together, let's celebrate together!"
Prince Feng Zhan's face was calm, and after drinking, he said in a deep voice, "Start the race!", and then left the field.
Everyone admired the prince's superb riding skills and handsome demeanor.
This also includes Qin Yan. Qin Yan secretly praised that this prince is really a beauty. It's a pity that she was born in the royal family, so she can't get involved.
------
Shen Cejun and Long Wujun came on stage, and the players rode their horses and sticks to fight for a ball.
Xie Changyuan and Lu Shenjun had no intention of fighting, they just wanted to end it as soon as possible, and looked forward to facing the Pingxi Army.
The two sides agreed that the first five wins would be the winner. After Xie Changyuan won the first place in the opening game, Lu Chen won the first place immediately. You came and I went to the middle, and each of them quickly won four places.
Although both want to end as soon as possible. But before the battle against the Pingxi Army, they were not the losers.
The sound of the drums became more and more urgent, and the two sides were more intense. Twenty horses galloped, and the scene was spectacular.
------
The battle situation was getting more and more intense and exciting. In the stands, everyone was drinking and watching the battle. The Shence Army and the Longwu Army often fought against each other, but they had never seen the leaders of the two powerhouses end at the same time, and everyone watched with great interest.
Feng Yuyao and Qin Yan drank each other and said,
"Xie Shizi is very skilled. Just now, Xie Shizi seems to be looking at you. That look is complicated and tangled. Let me figure it out. You have a peach blossom disaster recently."
Qin Yan didn't answer, but looked at Feng Yuyao helplessly. Turning to look at Jiang Mu, who has not touched a drop of water,
"Don't eat or drink? Are you afraid that the person above will be poisoned?"
Jiang Mu gave Qin Yan a cold look, but his stomach groaned inappropriately. Jiang Mu was so embarrassed that his ears blushed, and he turned his face away.
Qin Yan laughed out loud,
"If that person wanted your life, you wouldn't be alive today. It's still early to eat something to pamper your stomach, so don't treat yourself badly."
Jiang Mu was still awkward, but in case it was too embarrassing for a while, he reluctantly took a piece of dessert and took a few bites with wine.
Since Xie Changyuan saw Qin Yan on the field, he had an inexplicable emotion, and Yu Guang always swept to the west stand uncontrollably from time to time. Until a glimpse of Qin Yan smiling at the boy beside him. Xie Changyuan was distracted and let Lu Chen lean over to intercept the ball.
Lu Chen rode his horse straight to the goal of Shencejun, but Shencejun failed to block, Lu Chen swung the ball and hit the ball.
"Longwu Army wins!"
"Longwu army has five ranks, Shence army has four ranks, and Longwu army wins!"
The palace people sang the chips, and the game was declared over.
Emperor Hui touches his palm,
"Good! Good! Good!"
Both teams rest. The drums stopped, and the music gradually started. Everyone was staggering, reminiscing about the wonderful game just now.
------
Xie Changyuan knew he had lost his way, but Xie Zhao on the sidelines saw his interest.
In the Northwest Camp, Qin Yan was a topic that soldiers and soldiers often talked about in their spare time, but there was no contempt for women in the ordinary army or jokes. In the Pingxi army, Qin Yan was mostly respected and admired.
During the war for many years, the military resources of the Ministry of War were often delayed, and Qin Yan repeatedly raised supplies for the Pingxi army. The sergeants were not short of provisions and winter clothes. The soldiers were very grateful to Qin Yan.
The news that Xie Changyuan refused to marry Qin Yan also spread in the Northwest Camp.
I don't know if his younger brother regrets it now.
------
Prince Feng Zhan took the seat and set up the seat before Emperor Hui, and everyone got up to pay respects to the Prince Chitose.
"Free gift".
The prince's voice was deep and mellow, and Qin Yan sighed again.
Qin Yan looked at the prince Feng Zhan, and sure enough, the sharp eyes that met in the tea house before were the prince Feng Zhan.
Feng Zhan also looked back at Qin Yan, the old man's recent actions frequently had the tendency to associate Qin Yan with him.
Qin Yan is indeed extremely beautiful, but his person is invisible, and many mysteries cannot even be found by his people. He is a dangerous person.
And the one next to Qin Yan, is that?
Princess Changle, Feng Yunchao, smiled for the first time since she entered the table. Her eyes were bright and she looked at Feng Zhan.
"Brother Huang is good at football, teach me another day."
Feng Zhan has always been very fond of this imperial sister, but he is indeed busy with official duties.
"How about letting Lu Chen teach you?"
Feng Yunchao seemed a little wronged, but Lu Chen? It's fun to tease that nerd.
"The prince thinks, how should we fight in the next match?" Emperor Hui asked Xiang Fengzhan.
Feng Zhan didn't say a word.
"Why don't we let the forbidden army from the north and south select five players to form a team, and then fight against the team of the Pingxi Army?" Feng Xian, the second prince, spoke first.
"Well, what does the prince think?" Emperor Hui looked at the prince.
"Yes." Feng Zhan cherished his words like gold.
"Li Fuquan, make arrangements."
Shen Changshan's eyes narrowed slightly, His Majesty is this?
