Chapter 1652: Chapter 1649 The Competition Begins
At this point, the conversation stopped, and Qianyue came over, bringing confirmed news that Chu Ziluo would join Team Jia to compete.
She stood up and went with the maidservants to change clothes.
The news quickly spread out.
The Elder Princess was seated at the head, turned slightly to talk to her: “I’ve never had the chance to watch Chu Ziluo play polo before, but now there’s an opportunity to watch closely.”
“Your Highness, don’t have too high expectations. She usually only rides horses at the manor, hasn’t had long-term polo training. She’s just lucky the two Princes don’t mind, so she has the chance to play around.” Ye Muyu looked helpless.
The Elder Princess smiled: “It’s meant to be playful, as long as the younger ones enjoy themselves, there’s no need to worry so much.”
“You are right, Your Highness.”
Ye Muyu was pulled aside by other ladies to be asked about Chu Ziluo.
Chu Ziluo always participated in banquets very low-key, even though she attended quite a few this year, always following Ye Muyu to meet people. But she was so low-profile that few people really understood her.
But now Chu Ziluo suddenly going out to play polo, being dazzling enough on the field, caused quite a few families to show some concern, at least to learn more about this young lady from the Chu family.
While Ye Muyu was dealing with the ladies here.
Chu Ziluo had already changed clothes and arrived at the horse grounds.
Seeing Li Chongjin, she didn’t show extra expression, fittingly greeted the two Princes, and then greeted Princess Weisaiya.
King Qi subconsciously looked at her, then glanced at Li Chongjin.
He thought there might be some interaction between the two, they should be familiar, but there was no interaction, as if they were strangers.
Princess Weisaiya had waited long enough and was impatient, directly saying: “Can we start now? I’ve waited too long.”
King Qi nodded: “Then let’s start.”
From this side, an eunuch ran to the side of the official in charge of scoring, conveyed the message, and then the sound of a gong was heard. Both teams rode to the two half fields on horseback.
The referee raised his hand, holding a piece, after a bout of gong sound, waved down his flag, officially starting the match.
A red ball fell from the air, with Princess Weisaiya and Li Chongjin leading the charge within both teams starting to contest.
Chu Ziluo controlled her horse to run along the edge, occasionally receiving the ball passed by teammates, not being in the most crucial positions, thus she drew little attention.
Very soon, Princess Weisaiya grabbed the ball, then laughing joyfully and quickly passing it to King Qi, who’s not a frail scholar, skilled in archery and horsemanship, directly catching the ball, shooting towards the goal.
Then a cheer was heard, Team Yi took the lead with one point.
Chu Ziluo was riding a horse, at the outer positions, watching the cheer from that side.
She hadn’t moved much, so she wasn’t tired. Li Chun’er came over at some point, didn’t hide the smile on her face, “How is it? We’re quite impressive right?”
Chu Ziluo nodded: “Yes, quite impressive.”
Li Chun’er originally intended to show off but seeing her react so calmly, even agreeing with her, felt no sense of achievement, angrily said: “Can’t you act shocked, envious next time when you respond?”
“Oh?” Chu Ziluo was amused and helpless, realizing Li Chun’er is a spoiled young miss, likes everything to go smoothly, says whatever she wants, such a person doesn’t plot behind one’s back.
