However, Prince Anzheng never took the initiative to snatch the ball; he just waited for it to fly to his vicinity for various reasons.
Therefore, the team that migrated south is still in the lead.
"Nanqianyue, go stop the Imperial Uncle." The Fifth Princess gave Nanqianyue a meaningful look amidst the chaos.
The southward migration was shocking. "I can't stop them. Find someone who knows kung fu to go."
The Fifth Princess was anxious. Why couldn't she understand? No one could stop the Imperial Uncle as effectively as she could.
"You don't need to use your lightness skill, you can do it. Just keep an eye on him, and leave the rest to us," the Fifth Princess urged hurriedly.
The time allotted for them to respond was very short. Nanqianyue didn't have time to think things through, so she had no choice but to spur her horse and head towards Qin Yi.
However, she did not approach, but instead, like Qin Yi, she played a lazy game, hitting the ball when it came and wandering around aimlessly when it wasn't.
He was loitering in front of him.
Qin Yi's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile, but from a distance, he still maintained a serious expression.
The eldest princess, who had been keeping a close eye on Qin Yi, suddenly frowned. What a month it was for the southward migration; he was going to pester the imperial uncle again.
"Royal Uncle! Catch the ball!" The Fourth Prince snatched another ball from the Fifth Princess, but by the time he saw Nan Qianyue in that direction, it was too late; the ball had already been passed.
Just when the Fourth Prince thought the ball would be intercepted by Nan Qianyue, he saw his uncle behind her leap up and fly directly behind Nan Qianyue's horse, knocking the ball into the goal with his staff, and then lightly flying back to his own horse.
Nan Qianyue was shocked. This strength was too heaven-defying. She was a joke in front of Qin Yi because she had no lightness skill or internal strength.
The eldest princess laughed triumphantly again, thinking that her uncle would go easy on her. It seems that he really doesn't like the Southern Migration Month.
The Fifth Princess glared fiercely at the Fourth Prince and couldn't help but shout, "What kind of brother are you? All you do is bully your sister!"
The fourth prince smiled apologetically, "Don't be angry, little sister. It's just that your ball is easier to steal."
"You!" The Fifth Princess was furious. Who was this person being insulted?
And what about the southward migration? Why didn't they stop the Imperial Uncle? If all else failed, they should have held him and seen if he could still fly.
The fifth princess, who was so engrossed in playing, didn't realize that her idea was absurd at all.
Xiao Chen frowned and looked towards Nan Qianyue. Just as he was about to ride over, the referee threw the ball in again, and it happened to be close to him, so he had no choice but to hit the ball first.
Nan Qianyue, who was lazily playing ball over there, glanced back at Qin Yi, then touched the spot on his horse's rump that Qin Yi had stepped on with obvious disgust, muttering, "Don't you have your own horse? Stepping on other people's horses is so rude."
Qin Yi's smile deepened as he gently spurred the horse to her side. "If we don't hit this ball, there won't be a second one."
Nanqianyue glanced at him lightly, "What do you mean?"
Qin Yi suddenly bent down to adjust his foot pedals, and at the same time reminded, "The ball is coming, catch it."
Nanqianyue didn't have time to think much; the only thing on her mind was the ball coming. She opened her eyes and saw the ball flying towards Qin Yi. She swung her bat to intercept it and successfully passed it to Xie Yanzhou.
The Fourth Prince, who had snatched the ball from the Fifth Princess again and successfully passed it to Qin Yi, stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Why was his uncle suddenly adjusting his foot pedal? What a waste of this hard-won ball.
Next time, I promise I'll only forward it after the Imperial Uncle sees it!
After hitting the ball, Nan Qianyue looked at Qin Yi in surprise, realizing that he had deliberately let her have the ball.
Next, Qin Yi ignored several balls passed to him by his team for various reasons, and they eventually fell into Nan Qianyue's hands.
After several balls in a row, even a fool could see that Qin Yi was throwing the game.
The eldest princess glared angrily at Nanqianyue, thinking to herself, "What tricks has that bitch used to win over the royal uncle this time?"
"Nan Nan!" Xiao Chen rode over, giving Qin Yi a hostile look, but his gaze softened instantly when it fell on Nan Qianyue's face. "Nan Nan, you go over there, I'll take care of things here."
Nan Qianyue nodded without hesitation. The Princess's team wasn't stupid; they naturally realized that Qin Yi was holding back, so they wouldn't pass the ball to them again.
Then she wouldn't need to keep an eye on Qin Yi.
"Okay." She spurred her horse away and resumed the exciting game of chasing polo.
As soon as she left, Xiao Chen's eyes instantly filled with frost, his gaze like an icy cone fixed on Qin Yi.
Qin Yi slowly turned his gaze, his expression cold and stern, his deep eyes also shrouded in a layer of ice.
The more astute onlookers seemed to have noticed something amiss, but no one dared to discuss it, for they couldn't afford to offend anyone.
With the seamless cooperation of Nan Qianyue and Xie Yanzhou, their team ultimately achieved victory.
Xiao Chen and Qin Yi, on the other hand, were like decorations in the second half, showing no interest in polo at all.
"Very good, very good, each has its own merits!..." The old emperor praised each of the participants one by one.
The generous prize went to the winner, and the losing team received a consolation prize; in short, it was a happy ending.
Empress Dowager Wei was in high spirits today, but because of her old age, she could not withstand the exertion and left early. In order to show his filial piety, the old emperor naturally had to personally help Empress Dowager Wei leave. He entrusted the task of entertaining the envoys from various countries to the Southern Chancellor and the Song Grand Commandant.
"Yi'er, your mother has prepared your favorite dishes from when you were little. Go to Xianle Palace today and have a meal with your mother." Consort You walked toward Qin Yi with affection.
Qin Yi turned his gaze away from Nan Qianyue, who was laughing hysterically, and replied coldly, "I'm busy today."
Consort You's heart skipped a beat, "Then tomorrow..."
"I'm not free tomorrow either." After saying that, Qin Yi headed towards Nanqianyue.
Consort You watched in shock and heartache as her son abandoned her to go find Nan Qianyue. Her vision blurred and she almost fell over, but fortunately, her personal nanny caught her.
"Please take care of yourself, Your Highness. The Prince must have something important to discuss..."
