Just then, the Fifth Princess led Miss Xu over reluctantly.

"Is the Fifth Princess going to join us?" Nan Qianyue asked with a radiant smile.

The Fifth Princess had a cold expression and pouted, "My royal uncle sent us. Let's go, I'll take you to change your clothes."

Hmph, the Imperial Uncle is too powerful, too domineering, too unreasonable, and too tyrannical!

I finally got a chance to have some fun, and they actually let her team up with Nanqianyue?

A delicate and frail poet on the same team as her? Isn't that just dragging them down?

He can't win over his wife himself, so he sacrifices her happy times to appease her. How despicable! How hateful!

"Miss Xu can also play polo?" Nan Qianyue was curious. Miss Xu was the granddaughter of Xu Taigong, and in theory, she should be like the daughter of Imperial Censor Yang, skilled in literature but not in martial arts.

The Fifth Princess curled her lip and couldn't help but complain, "Miss Xu is proficient in all six arts and is no less than a man, unlike you who are so delicate and weak."

“Delicate and frail…” Nan Qianyue carefully read the four words, her eyes sparkling as she raised her hand to brush her hair behind her ear, then covered her mouth and chuckled, pinching her thigh in a coquettish manner, “Yes, this humble woman has always been delicate as a flower, unable to withstand wind or rain.”

Fifth Princess: "..." So pretentious, but so beautiful.

Xie Yanzhou shook his head and chuckled, not exposing her, "Qianqian, go change your clothes quickly."

"Okay." Nan Qianyue was still in character, her eyebrows and eyes exuding a gentle charm, and every gesture she made revealed a delicate and graceful air.

Young Master Lu, who was standing to the side, was almost stunned.

"Poet Immortal, don't fall off your horse later," Song Suihuan said with a forced smile, before turning away haughtily.

The Fifth Princess was speechless. The Yue siblings who migrated south were just there to make up the numbers; the team of six was effectively only four people.

Just as the Second Prince was about to come over, the Eldest Princess stopped him. Her face darkened, and she said unhappily, "Where are you going, Your Highness? We don't need any more people over there."

The second prince was conflicted and troubled. On one hand, he wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Nanqianyue, help her win the prize, and make her happy. On the other hand, he also had to consider his elder sister's feelings.

Although he didn't actually like his elder sister, he still had to put on a show.

Now that everyone's here, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

Therefore, if he wants to win over Nanqianyue, he can only deliberately go easy on her later and take good care of her at the polo field, thus showing his sincerity and magnanimity.

The girls went to change their clothes, while the gentlemen helped the girls in their groups choose horses.

Laughter continued to emanate from Empress Dowager Wei and the old emperor, and the envoys from various countries relaxed a bit.

This polo match could also be considered an exhibition game, intended for public entertainment.

Within half an hour, the contestants entered one after another through a side door. Their light clothing and hairstyles softened their delicate features and added a touch of heroism.

This attracted the attention of a group of men.

Nanqianyue walked alone behind the Fifth Princess and Miss Xu. She wore a cherry blossom-colored fitted long dress that hugged her exquisite figure. Her stunningly beautiful face had a cold expression, and when she didn't smile, she was a cold and aloof beauty who kept people at a distance.

"Get out of my way." A defiant voice rang in Nan Qianyue's ear. Song Suihuan deliberately bumped into Nan Qianyue's shoulder, trying to push her aside.

However, in reality, the southward migration continued steadily, while Song Suihuan almost tripped and fell beside it.

Song Suihuan stared in disbelief at Nan Qianyue's back. How could such a slender figure be as steady as a fat man?

The eldest princess walked over with a chilling smile. She reached out and helped Song Suihuan up. "What's the rush? When the horses are running on the field, it's normal for someone to fall off their horse or even be trampled by its hooves. Don't you think so?"

She finished speaking casually, and without waiting for Song Suihuan's reply, she turned and left.

Song Suihuan lowered her head slightly, her brows furrowed. Her cousin clearly hated Nanqian Yue, yet she always used her as a tool...

"Qianqian!" Xie Yanzhou greeted Nan Qianyue with delight. He looked her up and down, raising his eyebrows and smiling, "So dashing!"

The fifth princess next to her immediately showed a disgusted expression, as if to say, "Are your eyes okay?"

She just changed her clothes, she's still beautiful... Uh, why do I keep praising her?

The Fifth Princess shook her head, trying to clear her mind.

"Just follow behind, but don't get too close to the polo ball." The Fifth Princess kindly reminded Nan Qianyue, reluctantly giving her some leeway out of respect for her uncle.

Nan Qianyue smiled and took the reins from Xie Yanzhou, then mounted her horse with a swift and smooth motion, without a single flaw.

The Fifth Princess's mouth opened slightly, and her eyes gradually widened. Had she just imagined it?

"Fifth Princess, mount your horse!" Nan Qianyue, sitting on her horse, smiled sweetly.

The Fifth Princess immediately came to her senses and thought to herself, "Perhaps he's just good at pretending, but he's actually just an empty shell."

"Big sister, your little brother will protect you, you can rest assured!" Nan Yichu patted his chest and assured her.

Nanqianyue smiled and said, "Okay."

Xie Yanzhou rode over and patted Nan Yichu on the shoulder with his long arm. "Good brother, you mean well, but I'm reminding you to take good care of yourself."

Having said that, he rode his horse to the side of the Southward Migration Moon, the two horses side by side.

He turned to look at her, a broad smile in his eyes, "Qianqian, let's see who gets to that colorful flag first?"

Nanqian Yue raised her chin slightly, smiled, and gave him a sidelong glance that said, "Fine, whoever loses has to pay out one hundred taels of silver."

Why not take advantage of the rich man's money?

Xie Yanzhou couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, if I lose, I'll give you five hundred taels, and if you lose, you treat me to a meal, how about it?"

Unable to suppress a smile, Nan Qianyue said, "I'm so sorry... but it's settled then! Giddy up!"
