Chapter 1649: Chapter 1646 Polo

Although Chu Heng had already guessed what she was going to do, he was still a little disappointed, his long eyelashes slightly lowered, his bright eyes lingering on her: “Ah Yu, there’s still time…”

“What time, stop messing around, if you don’t want to sleep a bit longer, I’m going to start washing up. I’m heading out early for the banquet.” Ye Muyu sighed lightly, speaking as she directly went to the adjoining washroom to begin washing up and getting ready.

Chu Heng, who failed to seduce and was abandoned: “…”

He helplessly rubbed his forehead.

Got up and started to get dressed.

Ye Muyu tidied up, had breakfast, and then took Chu Ziluo out, got on the carriage, and went to the venue for this banquet.

The venue needed for a Cuju game is quite large, so it’s held at the Imperial Horse Ranch.

With Emperor Xuanming’s permission, several princes attended, all others were family members of ministers, including the princes and princesses from Beirong, and even the Saintess from the Southern Border agreed to come.

The Imperial Horse Ranch has dedicated areas for playing polo and Cuju.

When Ye Muyu arrived, she met many family members of ministers at the entrance.

She greeted them one by one, since she didn’t meet any familiar faces and wasn’t close, she just greeted them briefly.

Eunuchs had been waiting early to welcome them inside.

Ye Muyu took her seat, worried it might rain, and even though the weather was still nice, she didn’t put away the sunshade.

Ye Muyu sat with Chu Ziluo.

One after another, eunuchs served tea and snacks.

The seating arrangement was very close, right next to the central pavilion at the front.

The pavilion was quite spacious, but there were simply too many people today.

The Chu family could not compare with the Imperial Family, but what surprised Ye Muyu was that she was seated right next to the Saintess from the Southern Border and the Elder Princess.

Being close, she could even clearly see the expressions on their faces.

Before the banquet began.

Ye Muyu, with Chu Ziluo, first went to meet the Elder Princess and the Old Madam of Duke Qing’s Mansion.

The Senior Lady from Qingguo Duke’s Mansion also came, but the Old Madam had to preside; otherwise, given her status, she would not have been qualified to hold such a banquet.

Ye Muyu didn’t have to worry about others and returned directly to her seat.

After exchanging greetings, the hour passed quickly, and here, on the field, there were already young women ready in Cuju attire.

Men and women were supposed to be separated, but this time, Princess Weisaiya wanted to compete with Prince Rong, so mixed-gender teams had to be formed.

However, for fairness, each team consisted of four men and three women.

Among the six women, there was Li Chun’er.

Princess Weisaiya led Team Yi to compete against Prince Rong’s Team Jia.

Those truly on the field had achieved good results in past Cuju matches, and of course, if anyone wanted to play privately later, they could change clothes and join in for fun.

Chu Ziluo had brought clothes, but she didn’t insist on playing, just in case.

Just as the hour was nearing.

Ye Muyu finally saw Prince Rong enter from outside the ranch, wearing casual clothes, a dark long robe, which was very characteristic, his ink-black hair, tall stature, the youthful innocence on his face had faded, the unique vigor of a youth was evident on him, but there was also a hint of brooding.

Combined with his unsmiling personality, he appeared somewhat solitary and cold as he walked in, and nobody took the initiative to speak to him.

Li Chongjin clearly didn’t care about peers, he only greeted the Old Madam of Duke Qing’s Mansion, also met the Elder Princess.

Then he directly stepped aside to change clothes.
