Chapter 728 History always repeats itself

In the afternoon, everyone made an appointment to play polo.

Since the emperor was also present, everyone wanted to take the opportunity to show off themselves, so someone suggested a polo match.

The proposal was immediately agreed by everyone.

Polo was a very popular recreational activity among the aristocracy in the Great Sheng Dynasty. Anyone who came from a noble family knew how to play polo.

Even Li Qingyan, who came from a poor family, found time to learn to play polo after becoming an official in the court. Although his skills were average, he could at least keep up with everyone else's pace.

Everyone quickly divided into teams.

The captain of the red team is King Ying Luo Yechen, and the captain of the blue team is King Jing Luo Yanzhi.

Luo Yanzhi was originally the fifth prince. After the crown prince ascended the throne, Luo Yanzhi was canonized as Prince Jing. Now he lives in Shengjing City and holds the honorary title of General of the Imperial Guard.

Luo Yanzhi has a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes. When he smiles, the corners of his eyes are slightly curved, which makes him look suave and charming.

Because of his outstanding appearance and his fun-loving nature, he was very famous in Shengjing City and even had the nickname Young Master Huiyue.

He was riding a white horse, holding the reins in one hand and a golf club in the other. He was tall and had long legs, with a smile in his peach blossom eyes.

"Brother, I haven't played polo with you for a long time. I miss it now. I remember that you were always the captain when we played polo, but the team you led always lost."

Luo Yechen, whose true identity was exposed in public, became furious and snorted heavily.

"That's because I'm giving in to you. I'm the eldest brother, so of course I have to give in to you younger brothers."

Luo Yanzhi smiled even more: "Then my eldest brother, please don't let me win today. Let's have a fair match between brothers."

Luo Yechen shouted, "Come on! Don't cry if you lose!"

The atmosphere was already tense before the game even started.

Someone outside the venue who was watching the fun shouted.

"Just competing is boring, there has to be some prizes!"

Luo Yanzhi looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was Princess Jiaoyang, so he smiled brightly at her.

"What do you want to win?"

Princess Jiaoyang is the daughter of Princess Hua'an. She just turned sixteen this year. She has been brought up in pampered surroundings since she was young. She is truly a gifted girl from heaven. She has a much more lively and courageous personality than ordinary ladies.

She was so mesmerized by Prince Jing's smile that she almost lost her mind. Finally, it was the female companion beside her who pulled her back. She came back to her senses and spoke loudly with a red face.

"Whoever loses will have to perform a show at the banquet tonight!"

Luo Yanzhi said yes.

Of course Luo Yechen couldn't let the other party look down on him, so he immediately said loudly that it was no problem.

As the game started, both teams started running and fighting fiercely for the ball.

There were quite a few spectators sitting in the stands.

The emperor and his concubine were also among them, occupying the best viewing positions in the entire venue.

Xiao Xixi was eating melon seeds while watching the handsome boys playing ball in the horse farm and muttering to herself.

“I find that history always repeats itself in a surprising way.”

Luo Qinghan: "Hmm?"

Xiao Xixi spat out the melon seed shells in her mouth: "The King of England was a fool a year ago, and the King of England is still a fool a year later."

Luo Qinghan: “…”

Many spectators were guessing who would win this polo match.

Princess Jiaoyang supported Prince Jing to win without hesitation because of his charming smile.

At this time, Concubine Jing suddenly turned her head and asked with a smile.

"Who do you think will win this match?"

Luo Qinghan did not answer this question, but asked Xiao Xixi.

"What do you think?"

Xiao Xixi: "I hope Prince Jing can win."

Luo Qinghan was slightly surprised: "Why?"

He thought she would support Luo Yechen to win.

Xiao Xixi smiled secretly: "Because Prince Jing won, Prince Ying has to perform a show. I am looking forward to his performance."

Luo Qinghan smiled.

It was the first time Concubine Jing saw the emperor smile, and she was stunned.

But the smile was fleeting.

Before she could take a closer look, the smile on the emperor's face disappeared, and he returned to his expressionless and indifferent look.

Concubine Jing couldn't help but clench her handkerchief.

She actually didn't care who the emperor liked. She had been prepared since the day she entered the palace that she would never find love again in her life.

What she really wants is power and status.

She wanted to become the queen, give birth to a prince, and become the most noble woman in the world.

But the prerequisite for getting all this is to gain the favor of the emperor.

Because only with favor can she give birth to a prince and be qualified to compete for the position of queen.

But now.

The emperor gave all his love to the imperial concubine.

She could only watch from the side, without getting any love at all.

At this moment, the imperial concubine suddenly turned around and looked towards Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing suddenly met her gaze and was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat and she could hardly control the expression on her face.

After a while, she realized that the imperial concubine was not looking at her, but the person behind her.

Concubine Jing was curious and followed the Imperial Concubine's line of sight. She saw a brother and sister sitting not far behind. They were the eldest son Xiao Qiming and the second daughter Xiao Zhilan of the General Zhongwu's Mansion.

Xiao Qiming and Xiao Zhilan were also obviously staring at the imperial concubine.

The brother and sister came with their father to participate in the autumn hunt. Their father left for something at this moment, leaving the two children sitting in the stands.

Ever since Xiao Qiming and Xiao Zhilan came to Shanglin Garden, they heard people say that the Imperial Concubine looked somewhat similar to Concubine Xiao. It was precisely because of this similarity that the Imperial Concubine was looked at differently by the Emperor.

Therefore, after the imperial concubine appeared, Xiao Qiming and Xiao Zhilan kept staring at her.

Even though they didn't want to admit it in their hearts, the imperial concubine did look somewhat similar to their sister.

And after careful observation, you will find that they not only look alike, but also have similar words and deeds.

No wonder the emperor fell in love with her. He must have seen the shadow of Concubine Xiao in her.

Xiao Qiming and Xiao Zhilan both felt very uncomfortable.

Only one year after their sister passed away, the emperor found a new love, a woman who looked somewhat like his sister.

What does the emperor think of their sister?

The moment the imperial concubine looked over, Xiao Qiming and Xiao Zhilan were both stunned.

Xiao Zhilan was young and a girl, so she panicked immediately and quickly looked away, not daring to look any further.

But Xiao Qiming is different.

Instead of restraining himself, he glared at the imperial concubine fiercely.

The look in his eyes, like that of a little wolf cub, was really fierce!

Seeing this, Xiao Xixi was not angry but smiled instead.

Xiao Qiming felt even more embarrassed and angry when she smiled at him, and he bared his teeth at her on purpose.

If the occasion wasn't wrong, he would have really wanted to yell at the other person.

What are you looking at? You idiot!

There were cheers from the stadium.

The blue team scored two goals in a row, advancing with great momentum, while the red team did not score a single goal.

Princess Jiaoyang was excited and cheered loudly for Prince Jing.

In fact, it wasn't just her. Many girls thought that Prince Jing's posture in scoring the goal was very handsome, and they all blushed when they saw it.
