Chapter 19 Chapter 19 The husband is not in good spirits

Chapter 19 Chapter 19 The husband is not in good spirits

The brocade pavilion was gradually filled with people. If there was not enough space, the young masters were sent out to squeeze around the horse field to watch. The girls poked their heads out coquettishly, and the young masters shouted with high spirits. Everyone was dressed in colorful clothes, making the grassland as gorgeous as spring.

The imperial tent in the north was divided into three rooms by bright yellow curtains. The largest one was reserved for the emperor and empress, the one on the right housed the rest of the royal family, and the one on the left was given exclusively to the eldest princess.

In full view of everyone, Cheng Yian was brought to the imperial tent by the eldest princess.

Behind him was a twelve-page Su embroidery screen with flowers and birds, and in front of him was a very wide long table with a stove under it, keeping Cheng Yian warm all over.

The table was filled with a wide variety of snacks and fruits, as well as tea, water and cheese. All the supplies were on par with those in the princess's mansion. The eldest princess would never compromise herself no matter where she went.

Perhaps it was because the eldest princess had a bad reputation. At this moment, countless eyes were frequently directed to Cheng Yian. Everyone must have the same idea as her, worrying that her background would be made public and the eldest princess would take out her anger on her.

After a while, the eunuch Gao Xuan arrived, and the eldest princess stood up indifferently, followed the others to pay their respects to the imperial tent in the middle. It turned out that not only the emperor and empress had arrived, but the empress dowager had also brought the crown prince, and there were also slightly favored concubines accompanying them. The imperial tent next door was a little too small to accommodate everyone, so Prince Ning simply took advantage of the emperor's inattention and slipped over to the eldest princess's side.

The Crown Prince was also coming to pay his respects to the Princess, and the two brothers bumped into each other and walked over together.

At this glance, I saw a pretty young lady sitting next to the eldest princess. Wherever the eldest princess went, there were always birds of a feather flock together, but there was actually someone who became her guest of honor.

The prince couldn't help but glance at Cheng Yian.

Cheng Yian quickly stood up and saluted the two of them, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Ning."

The prince was wearing a bright yellow round-collared robe and a winged hat. He was in his early twenties, with a fair and slightly round face, gentle and humble eyes, and was known for his courtesy and humility.

Prince Ning wore the usual crimson royal robe and a jade crown to tie up his hair. He was taller than the crown prince, with a handsome figure, clear-cut features, and a more kingly air than the crown prince.

Even though they were enemies in private, they appeared to be friendly brothers and paid their respects to the princess together.

"Hello, Auntie..."

The eldest princess also bowed to the prince.

The prince asked with a smile, "Aunt, why did you come so early today?"

The princess ignored them and raised her chin to the side. Prince Ning looked back in the direction of her gaze and realized that he was blocking the direction of the Cheng family's brocade tent. He made way with a helpless look.

"Aunt, Lord Cheng and Shenzhi are discussing the mission to Northern Qi in Wenzhao Palace. I'm afraid they can't come."

"I know..."

The eldest princess holds a special position in the court, and the crown prince is bent on pulling her down. Seeing that the crown prince is not moving, Prince Ning also refuses to leave. They both rack their brains to find topics to please the eldest princess.

Cheng Yian quietly stepped aside and stood there for a while. Then she heard a voice calling her.

"An An, come quickly."

Cheng Yian searched for a long time before she found Cheng Yiqiao hiding beside a pillar on the left and waving at her.

Cheng Yian walked out of the imperial tent quickly. Cheng Yiqiao raised her hand and pulled her to a small pavilion outside the tent. After confirming that it was safe, Cheng Yiqiao let her go and glared at her breathlessly.

"Why are you staying with the princess?"

Cheng Yian laughed and said, "Your Highness invited me here."

Cheng Yian was very pretty, with soft and gentle eyes when she smiled. She looked easy to bully, so Cheng Yiqiao was worried about her.

"Silly girl, she may not have good intentions. Come, go back to the Cheng family's Jinpeng with your sister. I don't think she dares to do anything again." Cheng Yiqiao said as she grabbed Cheng Yian's wrist.

But Cheng Yian weighed the pros and cons and refused.

"Sister Qiao..."

"Second sister!" Cheng Yiqiao corrected her fiercely.

There are many girls in the Cheng family. If one were to rank them in order, Cheng Yiqiao would be called the Ninth Girl, and Cheng Yian would be the Seventeenth Girl. They often make mistakes, so they call each other by their first names. However, the eldest son of the family privately rank them in order of seniority even in his own children's room.

When Cheng Yiqiao called Cheng Yian "Second Sister", she treated her as her own.

Cheng Yian readily changed the subject, "Second sister."

Cheng Yiqiao looked at her well-behaved sister and found the feeling of being an older sister.

"Well, not bad, come back with me."

Cheng Yian shook his head again, "Your Highness has never treated me harshly. It would be rude of me to leave without saying goodbye."

The eldest princess was moody. She was treating me politely now. If I didn't know what was good for me, I would really offend her, which would cause me endless trouble. Moreover, the emperor and the empress dowager were right next door. How could the eldest princess do something inappropriate to me? Maybe it was because I caught the eldest princess's eye last time and she did me a favor.

After all, she was the sister he had just recognized, so Cheng Yiqiao didn't dare to force the decision, "But if Daddy finds out, he'll be worried for a while."

Cheng Yian glanced back at the imperial tent and said, "Your Majesty is here, don't worry."

Cheng Yiqiao thought about it and finally gave up, "The princess is moody, you should be careful."

After Cheng Yian sent Cheng Yiqiao away, Qiu Qing was already waiting for her not far away, with a face full of guilt.

"Young Madam, His Highness has never troubled you, has He?"

Cheng Yian waved his hand and smiled, "No, don't worry, where is the Second Master?"

Qiu Qing replied, "Your Majesty has assigned a mission to the Major General. The Major General has gone to the Governor's Office and will be here in a while. By the way, your horse is tied in the stable over there. Do you want to try it?"

Just now, Qiu Qing went to pick up the little red rabbit, but in the blink of an eye, he was forced into the Lu family's brocade tent by the eldest princess.

Cheng Yian said, "No hurry, I will pay my respects to His Highness first and then leave."

When Cheng Yian returned to the royal tent, no one was around the princess. Seeing her coming back, the princess looked at him with a deep gaze, "Was it the second girl from the Cheng family who called you away just now?"

Cheng Yian smiled, "Yes, my second sister saw me and greeted me."

"Are you afraid that I will eat you?" The eldest princess understood clearly.

Cheng Yian nodded awkwardly. There was no need to pretend everything was fine in front of the princess.

The princess liked her honesty. "If that's the case, why did you go back?"

Now that the emperor is here, she can't go to Cheng's Jinpeng to catch her.

Cheng Yian joked, "You promised to take me with you to do business, and I was counting on you to help me make money!"

The eldest princess laughed, "Okay, sit down and watch the competition with me."

Cheng Yian sat down and fixed her hair that was messed up by the wind. The princess then realized that she only had a string of tourmaline beads on her wrist and frowned immediately.

"I gave you a jade bracelet as a gift, why don't you wear it?"

Cheng Yian replied apologetically, "The jade bracelet is too valuable. I was afraid it might get bumped or scratched, so I didn't wear it."

A jade bracelet is expensive, let alone a pair. After all, she and Lu Xusheng's family are not rich, and they can't afford her extravagance.

The eldest princess said in disdain, "It's just a bracelet. If you break it, I still have better ones in my storeroom. It will be enough to support your daily expenses. It's not good for a young girl to dress so plainly."

After saying this, she winked and the female official beside her immediately handed over a box of jewels that the eldest princess had brought with her from a maid.

The eldest princess was extremely fond of new things and disliked old things. Sometimes she would wear a bracelet in the morning, but by the afternoon she would no longer like it and would want to change to another one. Therefore, every palace maid had to carry a box of jewelry with her when she went out every day.

A long rosewood box inlaid with eight treasures was placed in front of Cheng Yian.

This is a jewelry box specially used to hold bracelets. It has layers inside so the bracelets won't shake. There are four bracelets in the box, all of which are of excellent quality, including violet, green jadeite, and Hetian mutton-fat jade, which are dazzling to the eyes.

"Pick it."

The Lord raised his eyelids and looked at the field.

The emperor ordered the imperial guards to conduct a warm-up match of archery and horse riding.

The princess was fascinated by the sight of those strong men riding their horses and sweating profusely.

Cheng Yian guessed that this was the bracelet that the eldest princess always loved to wear, so he didn't dare to move it and smiled.

"Your Highness loves me, I know that, but I'm going to play polo later, and it's really inconvenient to wear the bracelet."

The princess thought this made sense and said, "Then take this box of bracelets back with you."

Cheng Yian's eyes went dark, and she quickly stood up, "Your Highness, I am terrified..."

The eldest princess glanced at him lightly, "If you reject me, you should be afraid."

At this point, the princess suddenly remembered something and told a eunuch,

"Go to the Cheng family's Jinpeng and tell someone to tell Cheng Mingyu that he can't afford to raise his daughter, so I will raise her for him."

Cheng Yian: “….”

I drank a cup of tea in silence.

Next, the eldest princess was seen criticizing the men on the field. Apart from other things about the eldest princess, her eyes on men were really vicious.

"See, that tall guy with the red feather helmet? Don't be fooled by his thinness, he has strong muscles. This kind of man looks thin when he is dressed, but looks muscular when he is undressed. If his face is more beautiful, I will take him in..."

"And the one holding the banner, he's handsome, but his shoulders aren't straight enough, and his temperament isn't very good..."

"Look at the one on the far right riding the fiery red Dayuan horse. His features are very handsome. A man like him would be just as handsome in bed..."

"Ahem, ahem, Your Highness!" Cheng Yian couldn't bear to listen any longer.

The princess saw the young lady's rosy face, as charming as rouge in March, and her eyebrows and eyes looked a bit like Cheng Mingyu. Suddenly, she was a little absent-minded, "But a hundred of them added together are not as good as your father."

The eldest princess is not a brainless person, and appearance is secondary. She admires Cheng Mingyu's ability. At the age of seventeen, he can maneuver among the Three Kingdoms without caring about life and death. This is a talent who can govern the country.

She always remembered the first time she saw Cheng Mingyu. The young man was wearing a white shirt and standing upright among the osmanthus trees. His noble and noble demeanor was like that of a Buddha sent down from heaven, making people want to pull him down to the mortal world.

"Your mother is so lucky to have him. If it were me, I would be willing to jump off a cliff a hundred times."

If someone else said this, Cheng Yian would think it was sarcasm, but coming from the eldest princess, he knew it was from the heart.

Just at this moment, a eunuch from the princess's mansion ran in excitedly from outside the imperial tent.

"Your Highness, Master Cheng is here."

The people in the princess's mansion are usually well-trained and focused, and they are only so flustered when they run into Cheng Mingyu.

The eldest princess' face suddenly turned panicky.

"Where?" She poked her head towards the Cheng family's brocade pavilion.

I saw a figure sitting at one end of the brocade tent, his upper body was covered and could not be seen, his hands were placed on his knees, looking very majestic. Who else could it be but Cheng Mingyu?

The princess' heart was pounding. She quickly turned around and asked Cheng Yian, "An'an, look at me. Is my makeup messy? Is my hair messy?"

Cheng Yian was made nervous by her, and looked around hurriedly, "Very good, very good." She looked towards the Cheng family's golden tent again and really saw her father, "But, he won't look this way."

The eldest princess sat very dignified, not daring to show off. She gently pulled her back from her crooked sitting position, "He will see."

"You are here."

Cheng Yian was speechless.

"An An, tell me, would your father be jealous of me sitting with you?"

Cheng Yian held his forehead with his hand, "Not really, right?"

The princess stared at Cheng Mingyu's direction, "I think that's it, otherwise why would he come?"

"By the way, you haven't acknowledged your father yet..." Without waiting for Cheng Yian to reply, she hurriedly said,

"Don't rush to admit it. Let Cheng Mingyu also suffer a little and experience the feeling of not getting what you want."

Cheng Yian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I just haven't adapted to it yet."

He has always been watching over her from behind, how could she abandon that family affection and ignore him?

The princess didn't care, "Anyway, I haven't given in yet, you are not allowed to acknowledge me."

Cheng Yian would not accompany her in making trouble, "Your Highness..."

"A manor!"

"no...."

“Two!”

Cheng Yian shut his mouth.

Just as she was worrying, she noticed a pair of eyes staring at her.

Lu Xusheng had just finished discussing matters with Cheng Mingyu in Wenzhao Palace, and after formulating a preliminary plan to attack Qi, they went to the horse farm together.

In the past, Cheng Mingyu would never have come to such an occasion, but the eunuch told him that Cheng Yian was with the eldest princess.

As a father, I am really worried and have to come and take a look.

Then I saw my little daughter talking to people boldly without any guard against others at all.

Cheng Mingyu was very worried.

As for Lu Xusheng, he rushed to the Lu family's golden pavilion but didn't see Cheng Yian. Instead, he saw her chatting and laughing with the eldest princess and commenting on those men.

It was the first time that Cheng Yian saw her husband so angry. His eyes were like knives, as if he wanted to eat her.

Lu Xusheng raised his chin and motioned her to come out and talk.

Cheng Yian then made an excuse to the princess, "Your Highness, I have to go to the bathroom."

The princess didn't think about it and said, "Come back soon."

Cheng Yian led her servant Rulan out of the imperial tent from the back and saw Lu Xusheng standing under a large camphor tree in the west waiting for her. She immediately raised her skirt and went to greet him, "Second Master."

Today she was wearing a pink double-breasted satin jacket with scattered flowers, the hem of which was inlaid with rabbit fur. She had her hair done in a fallen horse bun and a kingfisher-inlaid and gold-covered hairpin inserted into her bun. Her face was so white that it glowed in the sun.

Lu Xusheng looked at her smiling face and said unhappily, "Come back to Jinpeng with me and don't join in the fun with the princess."

"Why?" Lu Xusheng had never spoken to her in such a serious tone, and Cheng Yian didn't like it.

Lu Xusheng frowned, "She has a male pet in her house, and he acts overbearingly. Wouldn't it jeopardize your reputation if you follow her?"

Cheng Yian said unhappily, "Lu Xusheng, who was it a few days ago who kept saying that he didn't care about his reputation?"

Lu Xusheng was not worried about his reputation, he was just worried that the princess would bring bad luck to Cheng Yian.

"Be obedient and come back." He coaxed her in a soft tone.

Cheng Yian looked at him calmly, "I make my own decisions about who I associate with, and you are not allowed to interfere. You promised not to set rules for me and agree to everything I say, but now you go back on your word!"

Thinking of the disgrace Lu Xusheng had shown her in the past few days, she snorted softly, "Aren't you angry with me? You ignored me for a few days in a row, why are you caring about me now?"

After saying this, Cheng Yian ran away holding up the hem of her skirt.

Lu Xu was so angry that his cheeks hurt.

She had the nerve to bring that up.

If she hadn't been thinking of Fan Yulin in her dreams, would he have eaten vegetarian food every day?

Looking at his wife's pretty back, Lu Xusheng shook his head and walked back.

Several officers and soldiers from the Governor's Office not far away took in the scene and whispered to each other, "General Lu is so powerful on the battlefield, but he seems to be incompetent in the office."

"That's normal. Who said Madam is Mr. Cheng's daughter?"

Cheng Yian returned to the royal tent and saw that the princess looked obviously depressed. He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with your highness?"

The princess was sad, "Your father is gone..."

My eyes looked a little red as if there was sand in them.

Why is this happening? I really want to persuade her not to be sad for a man who doesn't have her in his heart, but I'm afraid of touching her genitals so I dare not speak easily.

He tugged at her clothes and said, "We are not here to see him today. We are here to see these imperial guards."

The princess was amused by her and laughed, "Aren't you afraid that Lu Xusheng will punish you?"

Cheng Yian sneered.

After the archery competition, the polo match officially began.

Since they were going to choose a princess for Prince Ning, naturally the girls would take the lead. The people of Dajin were open-minded and did not restrict the girls' words and deeds. Playing polo, ice skating and pitching were all common activities for the girls.

With this opportunity, Cheng Yiqiao came to the princess openly to ask for someone.

She changed into a deep narrow-sleeved riding suit, her dark hair was tied up in a bun, and a waist belt with a peony pattern of the same color outlined her slender waist. Although she did not have a stunning appearance, she was still very heroic.

"Hello, Princess. I would like to take my sister to play polo. Please allow me to do so."

The princess didn't stop him and patted Cheng Yian's shoulder. "Are the clothes ready?"

"some."

Rulan held a pile of clothes and knelt down towards the princess.

"Where's the horse?"

Cheng Yian smiled, "Xusheng Xunning Prince borrowed a little red rabbit."

The Red Hare is worth a fortune, and although Lu Xusheng said he was giving it to her, Cheng Yian had no idea what he had actually discussed with Prince Ning, so she didn't dare to accept it rashly.

The eldest princess frowned when she heard the word "borrow".

"What do you want to borrow? I don't have any good horses." She glanced at the chief guard standing at the pillar.

"Go, bring my horse, the Lightning Chaser, to An An."

Prince Ning was next door, and probably heard about this, so he quickly opened the curtains and came over, smiling and saying to the princess,

"Don't worry, nephew

This horse has been given to Shenzhi, so it naturally belongs to him."

Cheng Yian quickly stood up and apologized.

The eldest princess rejected her request, "Your horse is too small. It can't show off our An An's graceful figure. Why don't you use the lightning?"

The guards moved very quickly and soon both horses were pulled over.

The little red rabbit was very beautiful, with fur as bright as the sunset, very eye-catching. It kicked its hooves forward with an proud posture, attracting the attention of all the girls present.

The eldest princess' horse, Zhuifeng, was different. Its body was as black as ink, and it was tall and thin. Its eyes looked at everyone calmly, without any emotion. It was a steady old horse.

Lu Xusheng picked the Little Red Rabbit for Cheng Yian because the Little Red Rabbit was born not long ago and had a gentle temperament, making it suitable for a little girl to ride. He did not ask Cheng Yian to play an excellent polo game at all, he just hoped that his wife would be safe and sound, so that she would not get hurt or Cheng Yiyan would cause trouble for him.

Prince Ning knew his aunt's temper and would not tolerate questioning, so he did not insist.

"It is a blessing for Shenzhi's daughter-in-law that my aunt is willing to give up her love."

Seeing that the girls present were very interested in the red rabbit, he immediately made a decision, "In that case, this red rabbit of mine will be the prize for today's finale."

"That's great!" The girls cheered and were eager to try it.

Cheng Yiqiao led Cheng Yian back after changing his clothes. The first round of polo had already begun. In this polo match, two people form a team, and six teams can play at a time. A draw determines who will serve the ball first, and the others will get the ball. The team that scores the most goals will win the prize.

The competition adopts an elimination system. Half of the players are eliminated in the first round, and half are eliminated in the second round. The last players left will compete to determine the winner.

While waiting for the performance, Cheng Yian first tried riding Zhudian. As expected, Zhudian was very stable. He did not feel any bumps when he landed and rode very smoothly. It was obvious that it was a very experienced horse. No wonder, the eldest princess had a sharp eye and would not ride a vulgar horse.

A person who has lived to the level of a princess should be content. It doesn't matter if she doesn't have a man. Just as she was thinking about it in a mess, Cheng Yiqiao came over and asked her,

"How's your fight?"

Cheng Yian had just seen Cheng Yiqiao playing ball for a while and saw that she was an expert, so he didn't want to hold her back. "Second sister, find someone else. I'm just a dabbler. We can just form a team and have fun."

Cheng Yiqiao glared at her and asked, "Do I care about that horse?"

Then he motioned Cheng Yian to get on the horse, "Follow me, I will tell you the essentials of playing polo."

Cheng Yian rode his horse alongside her.

Behind the brocade tent is a wide lawn that stretches all the way to the Taiye Lake in front. The scenery here is picturesque. Cheng Yiqiao holds the club and dribbles the ball, showing Cheng Yian how to grab the ball and how to pass the ball. The two sisters play for a while, and Cheng Yiqiao finds that Cheng Yian is really a hopeless person, which makes her breathless with exhaustion.

Cheng Yian sat on the horse's back and looked at her apologetically, "Second sister, I really can't do it."

"But my second sister's polo skills are really superb."

Just now, the moon club slipped past her and snatched her ball away effortlessly.

Cheng Yiqiao took the handkerchief handed to her by the maid and wiped her sweat while saying, "My skills were taught by my father..."

After he finished speaking, he realized that he had said something wrong and looked at Cheng Yian guiltily, "An An..."

Cheng Yian smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.

Cheng Yiqiao coughed lightly and said, "It's okay. I'll let Dad teach you later."

"By the way, who taught you these moves?" In her impression, Cheng Yian lived a secluded life and had never played polo.

Cheng Yian was taught polo by Fan Yulin.

"I was just fooling around." She covered it up with a smile.

Cheng Yiqiao felt a little distressed.

"It's almost our turn."

Twelve teams have already played, and Cheng Yian and Cheng Yiqiao are among the six teams in the final round.

Cheng Yian was wearing a dark black riding suit and riding a tall black horse, which made him very eye-catching among the colorful crowd.

"An'ang, work harder!"

The princess waved at her.

Cheng Yian smiled shyly, and suddenly she noticed from the corner of her eye that Lu Xusheng had sat down next to Prince Ning, his eyes fixed squarely on her.

Cheng Yian blushed, looked away and followed Cheng Yiqiao onto the stage.

After the draw, the polo ball fell into the hands of Shi Feiyan, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. She took the lead and everyone rushed forward. The fastest one was Cheng Yiqiao. She and Shi Feiyan were obviously old rivals. The two of them fought back and forth and the game was very exciting.

Cheng Yian was able to keep up at first, but was soon squeezed out. However, the girl was not discouraged. She knew she was insignificant and did not care about any setbacks. She happily followed Cheng Yiqiao.

Cheng Yiyan had been following her around the arena since she entered the arena. The competition was not as important as his sister. He called out to Cheng Yiqiao along the way, "Take care of An An."

Don't leave Cheng Yian alone.

Cheng Yiqiao was attacked by Shi Feiyan and her cousin Yao Yuzhuang, and she had no time to care about Cheng Yian.

Is Cheng Yian really wandering around the outside court? No, she is secretly analyzing the situation on the court.

Shi Feiyan was extremely cunning and had obviously planned this in advance. She teamed up with several other teams to besiege Cheng Yiqiao, intending to squeeze out the most difficult opponent first.

Shi Feiyan was born in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Her father was Shi Heng, the Left Governor of the Governor's Mansion, the chief military commander. Although he was not as capable as Lu Xusheng, he had a deep experience. Shi Heng was one of the emperor's confidants. Shi Feiyan also liked Prince Ning since she was a child. She heard that the emperor wanted Prince Ning to marry into the Cheng family, so she always regarded Cheng Yiqiao as an opponent.

In the previous life, Cheng Yiqiao did not play in the polo match. The Cheng family did not participate in party struggles, so Cheng Yiqiao naturally would not steal the limelight. In the end, Shi Feiyan won. In this life, her second sister clearly showed up to help her get rid of the eldest princess. She couldn't bear to see her second sister being surrounded.

Shi Feiyan is the daughter of a general. She is not the best polo player, but she is among the top three. Cheng Yian cannot shake her, so he sets his sights on her cousin Yao Yuzhuang.

He drove Zhudian towards the belly of Yao Yuzhuang's horse. Zhudian was very sensitive, as if it received a signal from its master. It suddenly took a big leap forward with both hooves, which startled Yao Yuzhuang's horse. Yao Yuzhuang's horse was no match for Zhudian and retreated in fear.

There was a vacant seat on Cheng Yiqiao's left, and Cheng Yian quickly moved over to fill it.

"Good job, sister!"

If the two sisters were not very familiar with each other before and didn't know how to get along with each other, then playing a game of polo brought them closer.

Cheng Yiqiao was not someone who would be bullied, he launched a fierce attack and scored two goals in a row.

Yao Yuzhen looked at Cheng Yian with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.

How could Cheng Yian still be afraid of her?

In the first round, Cheng Yian and her sister advanced to the next round. The winning team received a silver ingot called "Wealthy and Wishful". This silver is different from the ordinary silver on the market. It is limited in quantity and can be collected. Cheng Yiqiao gave it to her sister without hesitation, and Cheng Yian accepted it.

Cheng Yian didn't score a single goal in this match. She just assisted Cheng Yiqiao the whole time. Cheng Yiyan felt so distressed watching her working so hard. During the halftime break, she told Cheng Yiqiao,

"You also let your sister score a goal."

Cheng Yian could feel the tolerance and love of her brother. In her previous life, she was the eldest daughter of Cheng Mingyou. The most common thing her grandmother told her was to let her take on the responsibilities of the eldest sister and set an example for her younger brothers and sisters. She was not allowed to cry if she fell or complain when she was tired. She was walking on thin ice when she married into the Lu family, and she had to work hard when she married into the Fan family.

When she arrived at the Cheng family's eldest house, she was the youngest sister, and everyone tolerated her unconditionally, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

The fact is, she once supported the entire Fan family, and she was never protected by anyone...

Cheng Yian suddenly felt a sour nose and red eyes.

Now, Cheng Yiqiao panicked when she saw this, "Don't cry, Third sister. I'll let you score in the next game."

Cheng Yian cried even more, "That's not what I meant, I'm fine..."

Seeing this, Cheng Yiyan became more cautious. He pointed in the direction of the Censorate and sternly reminded Cheng Yiqiao, "Be careful or you'll get scolded when you get back."

The implication is that if Cheng Yiqiao doesn't take good care of her sister, Cheng Mingyu will definitely blame her.

Cheng Yiqiao looked at her sister who was wiping away tears and tried to comfort her, "An An, don't worry, take your time, we will definitely get in."

This movement was seen by Lu Shuzhi and Lu Shuling who were sitting under a tree not far away. They came over to comfort their sister-in-law. Even the lady-in-waiting beside the princess was shocked. Everyone thought that she was feeling aggrieved for not being able to score a goal, and they encouraged her, as if she would win the whole competition if she scored a goal.

Cheng Yian was both amused and confused.

In the second round, Cheng Yian also failed to score.

Shi Feiyan and Yao Yuzhuang attacked more fiercely, while Cheng Yian focused on assisting. In her previous life, she had seen Yao Yuzhuang and Shi Feiyan's matches and knew where their weaknesses were. Yao Yuzhuang's formations were destroyed by Cheng Yian several times. She was so angry that when she passed by Cheng Yian, she cursed her, "Waste, you can't score a single goal."

When Cheng Yiqiao heard this, he was so angry that he didn't care about scoring the goal. He picked up the polo club and threw the ball he had just snatched back straight towards Yao Yuzhen's face. The polo ball hit Yao Yuzhen right on the lips, and a trace of blood was scraped off her teeth. She cried out in pain.

Cheng Yiqiao violated the rules and was punished and kicked off the stage.

However, even though she broke the rules, the two sisters still

It's the final stage of the promotion. It would be a pity to give up at this point. "A man can be killed but not humiliated. We can't let them succeed. I'll find someone to replace you."

After hearing what she said, Cheng Yian also perked up, "Okay, I'll continue."

The so-called two-person team is actually mostly a male-female team. For example, in order to win the prize from Prince Ning, Shi Feiyan teamed up with her own brother, Shi Feiyue, a famous playboy prince in the capital.

Yao Yuzhen's teammate is her second aunt's cousin, Wei Shuting, the eldest son of the Chengnan Marquis Mansion.

By the time the decisive round came around, the proportion of young masters could reach 50%, and everyone was determined to capture the Red Hare and secure a good future for their sisters.

Cheng Yiyan never gets involved in any quarrels or tricks, so Cheng Yiqiao chooses someone from the other young masters in the Cheng family.

However, Cheng Yian stared directly at Lu Xusheng who was sitting next to the emperor.

When Lu Xusheng received the signal from his wife, he was stunned. Was she asking him to take the stage?

Who does Lu Xu hate most in his life?

Pretty boy.

He disdained to compete with this group of playboys who were obsessed with life.

It's like a veteran border army commander competing with a rookie soldier.

Not only is this a boring fight, it's also very undignified.

Prince Ning, who was standing beside them, saw the couple flirting with each other and laughed with his chest shaking.

"Shenzhi, what are you standing there for? Why don't you go?"

Lu Xusheng didn't want to go. It had only been a short time, but his reputation as a weak leader had spread among the soldiers.

Cheng Yian was just joking, so he just picked a girl from the Cheng family to fit in.

Seeing this, the princess looked at the leader of her guards.

"Go help An An and help her score more goals."

The poor girl was running so hard that she was sweating all over, but she didn't score a single goal. The princess felt sorry for her.

"Yes, sir."

This chief of the guards was a martial arts champion of the imperial army at that time. Not only was he tall and strong, he was also handsome, otherwise the princess would not have taken a fancy to him.

However, the chief guard just stepped out.

Lu Xusheng, on the other hand, grabbed a moon pole from somewhere and walked towards Cheng Yian reluctantly with a dark face.

When everyone saw him coming on stage, their faces changed color, and he was surrounded before he even got to Cheng Yian.

"Major General, what are you doing here? We're playing a game, you just watch from the side."

The one who came to stop him was a soldier under Lu Xusheng, who was also one of the sons of nobles in the capital.

Lu Xusheng didn't want to come either, but his wife's orders made it difficult for him to do so. He smiled slowly,

"I'm here to have fun with my wife."

Upon seeing this, the young master of the Shi family quickly jumped off his horse and took his men to hug Lu Xusheng, while shouting towards the imperial tent,

"Your Majesty, we cannot let Lu Xusheng play. This is bullying."

He was the first person in the Jin army to behead the King of Nankang of Northern Qi and display his head to the public.

Who can beat him with one finger?

Cheng Yiqiao watched the fun, "Who said he can't play? You can help your sister, but he can't help his wife?"

Yao Yuzhen's face turned pale when she saw Lu Xusheng coming over. She didn't care about the previous ball and hurriedly talked to the referee on the scene.

"Sir, I just accidentally hit the moon pole. It has nothing to do with Cheng Yiqiao. Please let her go back on stage."

Arbitrator: Do you think he is blind?

Lu Xu had no intention of fighting properly, and said with a smile,

"How about this, I'll give up my legs and my right hand, and fight you with only my left hand, is that ok?"

Only then did everyone reluctantly let him go on stage.

Lu Xusheng randomly found a horse, put his right hand behind his back in an orderly manner, held the pole in his left hand, and drove over. As for the reins... for such a small occasion, he didn't need any reins to control the horse.

Lu Xusheng rode his horse to Cheng Yian's side and looked at her with a fake smile, "Where did you learn the three-legged cat kung fu to make trouble here?"

The implication was that she had no real skills but was trying to be competitive here and was forcing him to join in the fun.

Cheng Yian looked at his lazy look and suddenly smiled, "Fan Yulin taught me."

Lu Xusheng's face froze, and he immediately put away his tiredness and put on a posture of one man blocking a thousand.

"Once you have the ball, just rush forward and score as many goals as you want."

It's just a few balls, right?

How could he let Cheng Yian down?
