Two princely seals were placed on a high platform by a maid, with an incense burner next to the tray, and a stick of incense about the thickness of a little finger stuck in the center.
As the horn sounded, the musicians on both sides began to beat the drums.
Amidst the intense drumbeats, the maid lit incense, and the polo player tossed the ball high into the field. The two teams then charged towards the ball like arrows.
Shen Youying took the lead and met Xuan Ci in the center of the field. The polo mallets collided with a clang. Shen Youying reacted faster and hit the ball towards Xie Qinglan.
Xie Qinglan and she worked together very quickly, immediately spurring their horses to give chase—
"Stop her!" Upon seeing this, Zhou Zhenrong and Wang San Guniang immediately chased after her.
Xie Qinglan caught up with the ball and saw the two players coming at her from the left and right. She said to Shen Muyu, who was not far away, "Catch!"
Shen Muyu immediately prepared to receive the ball, but Xie Qinglan made a feint and swung the polo mallet hard, passing the ball to Shen Youying, who was further away.
Shen Youying was prepared and rushed out to make a powerful shot, and the ball went into the goal.
The sound of drums and gongs rang out from the sidelines, and the official announced loudly, "Red team scores a goal!"
A servant carried a bright red banner and planted it on the side of the red team.
Shen Youying galloped across the field on her horse, released the reins, and gave Xie Qinglan a high five across the distance. The smile on her face was more unrestrained than Xue Shen had ever seen before.
Prince Chen's gaze couldn't help but follow that unrestrained figure: "Princess Qin is indeed worthy of her reputation; her ball skills are comparable to those of men."
Xue Shen glanced at him sideways and casually said, "Like begets like. This is a girl personally raised by Shen Mingjiang."
Chen Wang frowned and glanced at him, feeling that the first half of his sentence had a sarcastic and veiled meaning.
The competition was still fierce. Xuan Ci was unwilling to accept that Shen Youying had won the first prize. He exchanged a glance with Zhou Zhenrong and then began to target Shen Youying.
Zhou Zhenrong and Xuan Ci followed closely behind Shen Youying, one on each side.
Seeing that they were ostensibly trying to steal the ball, but in reality, their polo mallets seemed to be trying to trip her horse, Shen Youying turned around and smiled brightly at the two of them.
In martial arts, her older brother is practically the ancestor.
She was taught by her eldest brother.
She deliberately slowed down, pretending to be going too fast and almost losing control of the horse. Zhou Zhenrong, seeing this, fell for it and swung her polo mallet at her.
Shen Youying wrapped the reins around her hands and pulled hard on them. The horse, forced to stop abruptly, reared up and neighed.
Zhou Zhenrong's polo mallet swing missed its mark.
Upon seeing this, everyone on the field thought that Shen Youying had startled the horse and exclaimed in surprise. The doctor who was waiting on the side was even so surprised that he stood up and prepared his medicine box to rush forward at any time.
But in that split second, Shen Youying did not fall off her horse as everyone had predicted. Instead, she gripped the horse's belly tightly with both legs, and at the same time, she released the reins with her right hand, gripped the polo mallet tightly, and swung it forcefully to hit the ball!
The polo ball shot out like a meteor. At the same time, Shen Youying grabbed the reins, controlled the horse, and made a sharp turn, turning the horse around and charging out like an arrow again.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Xuan Ci and Zhou Zhenrong didn't even have time to react before she spurred her horse out and caught up with Xiao Qiu. With a swing of her polo mallet, she scored another goal!
A series of exclamations erupted from the observation deck.
Many young men stood up and squeezed to the front to look, and saw that Shen Youying's eyes were red.
Everyone says that Princess Qin is the most beautiful woman in Tokyo, and she gives the impression of being gentle and graceful. But who would have thought that she would be so dashing on the polo field?
It evokes a strong desire to conquer in people from the bottom of their hearts.
Prince Chen clapped his hands and said slowly, "As expected of a daughter of the Shen family."
However, he was no longer as relaxed and carefree as before; instead, he seemed to be gritting his teeth.
Xue Shen didn't respond to him. He looked at the figure on the court, who moved as swiftly as a shooting star, and frowned almost imperceptibly.
