"Wow, the Third Princess is amazing, she scored another goal."
"Of course the Third Princess is amazing; she's the most likely princess to inherit the Empress's throne... Wait, wasn't that ball the Eldest Princess who kicked in just now?"
"Impossible! Wasn't the princess exhausted just now? How could this be... Wow, another goal! It really looks like her!"
"Wow! The Princess scored three goals in a row! When did she become so amazing?"
A spectacular Cuju (ancient Chinese football) match is underway in the vast enclosure.
The contestants were the eldest princess, who had always been weak and unable to take care of herself, and the third princess, who was strong enough to kill a bull.
Yun Kingdom is a matriarchal society.
Because of the protection of the goddess Yunruo, the women here do not have to bear children; instead, it is the men who do.
Women in the Yun Kingdom can do whatever they like.
Polyandry is a common practice.
It was common for women to frequently visit brothels for pleasure.
Men were bound and not allowed to go out freely. They had to be well-educated and reasonable, abide by the "male virtues," and were not allowed to be jealous or wield weapons.
In the Yun Kingdom, it was fashionable for men to be thin and frail; the more pitiful and delicate they appeared, the more women liked them.
Of course, the stronger a woman is, the more popular she is.
However, due to the princess's premature birth and frail constitution, she was over eighteen years old and still unmarried.
No man in the Yun Kingdom wanted to marry her.
Everyone wanted to marry the strong and beautiful third princess.
At first, everyone thought so, but unexpectedly, the eldest princess suddenly gained momentum, scoring more and more goals, and caught up with the third princess in a short period of time.
In the end, they even won against the Third Princess by a single goal.
The entire venue erupted in cheers, with everyone applauding the princess.
The Third Princess looked rather unwell.
But seeing Nanzhi walking towards her, she still smiled and said, "Sister, you see, I told you so. As long as I let you win this match, these men will definitely fall for you. I bet many men will come to ask you to marry them tomorrow."
Cheers echoed from the sidelines, but Nanzhi did not miss the jealousy in Princess Yunzhu's eyes.
She recalled the original owner's memories.
The original owner, Yunzhi, is now eighteen years old.
Princess Yunzhu, the third princess, is only seventeen years old, yet she already has a large number of husbands and concubines, and even has a son.
Because of her delicate health, the original owner of this body was constantly nourished by medicine, and no one was willing to marry her.
The empress didn't like her very much and hadn't paid much attention to her over the years.
However, because the position of Empress of Yun Kingdom has always been inherited by the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife, this aroused Yun Zhu's great jealousy.
A few days ago, Yunzhu found the original owner of the body and said that she was worried about her marriage and wanted to help her by organizing a football match with her.
When the time comes, she will pretend to lose to the original owner, and the original owner will surely gain the respect of other men.
The original owner was too naive and agreed without fully understanding what was going on.
Unbeknownst to her, this was merely a scheme by Yunzhu to humiliate her.
Yunzhu never intended to lose to her on purpose.
From the start of the match, Yunzhu kept scoring, completely overwhelming the original owner.
The original owner didn't score a single goal, and her teammates complained that she was dragging the team down. The original owner was too kind and didn't want to embarrass her teammates, so she kept trying to score.
But with her frail body, how could she possibly compete with Yunzhu?
Yunzhu won easily and stole the show in the competition.
The original owner died suddenly on the field due to excessive exercise.
When Nanzhi cut over just now, she could feel that the original owner's body was about to reach its limit.
It took her a long time to calm down.
Although she won the game, Namzhi still felt exhausted.
She didn't show it in front of Yunzhu, but simply greeted the people outside the hunting grounds in a generous manner before smiling and saying to Yunzhu—
"Thank you for your kindness, Third Sister." Nanzhi smiled. "Actually, you know perfectly well whether I won or not."
Yunzhu's expression stiffened slightly as she watched her throw the football stick to the maid and turn to walk out of the enclosure.
"Wow, the princess is amazing today."
A man watched as Namgyal gracefully walked out of the paddock below and screamed excitedly.
Thunderous applause erupted outside the paddock, but it couldn't mask the man's excitement.
"I think the Third Princess might have thrown the game today, otherwise how could the Eldest Princess have won?"
Someone extinguished the man's joy.
The man was a little unhappy, and he nudged the boy who hadn't joined in the cheering with his elbow.
"Sheng Yan, tell me, did the Third Princess throw the game today?"
The man pointed to the Third Princess, who was still in the hunting grounds.
The boy whose name he called had been sitting in the corner, most of his body hidden in the shadows, and had no intention of paying attention to the man.
Perhaps unable to bear being questioned by the man any longer, he slowly raised his head from the shadows.
With delicate, misty eyes, thick, long eyelashes, and beautifully shaped lips, he was a very handsome young man.
Sheng Yan wasn't very interested in games like Cuju (ancient Chinese football).
But if he doesn't comment, this guy next to him can bother him for days.
With a slight frown, he lowered his eyes and looked towards the hunting grounds.
He had excellent eyesight and saw that the so-called third princess was indeed strong and healthy, with the appearance that men in the world liked the most.
But he wasn't among these men.
His gaze slowly fell on the eldest princess, who was almost out of the hunting grounds.
First impression.
She is delicate and frail.
Someone greeted her, and she seemed much more polite than expected, with a nonchalant smile playing on her delicate features.
It sounded like someone was calling her, and she turned her head unintentionally. Whether by coincidence or not, her eyes met Sheng Yan's.
