Ye Zelin said, "With Prince Zheng here, she wouldn't dare to act recklessly."
"You know she likes you, and you still want to play polo with her, right?" Hua Fushu questioned him. Sometimes she really wanted to kick Ye Zelin to death, like now.
Ye Zelin laughed heartily, "Fushu, you're jealous!"
Hua Fushu said frankly, "Yes, I am jealous. I don't like those women having improper thoughts about you and flirting with you blatantly. No matter if they are average-looking or beautiful, I don't allow them to flirt with you, even men."
Ye Zelin finally stopped laughing and said, "I'm just kidding. Yan Xijun didn't go, and Princess Xinyang didn't go either. The only ones who went were the young masters of the Ling family and a few families that Prince Zheng was familiar with. There weren't many female relatives, and you were one of them. You knew a few of them, too. Youyou and Lingling from the Shui family, and Zhiheng's cousin Huimin also went."
Hua Fushu glared at him, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Ye Zelin said, "This match was arranged by Zhiheng and the others with your senior brother, the King of Qin. The King of Qin will also be there. Originally, Miss Lu was supposed to go as well, but she happened to run into the selection process."
Hua Fushu then remembered this matter. Lu Tianyun and her senior brother had both told her about it.
"I'll go."
Hua Fushu said: "Don't worry, I will definitely kill everyone and make you proud."
Hua Fushu thought that Luming Villa was an extremely elegant villa, but it turned out to be a huge mountain covered with vegetation.
The polo field is located at the foot of the mountain, where there is a flat area.
Hua Fushu covered her face with a round fan and whispered to Ye Zelin, "Is Prince Zheng truly elegant, or is he just pretending to be so? This isn't a villa at all; it's clearly a barren mountain without a single house."
Ye Zelin also whispered back, "This mountain originally belonged to Prince Xiang, and later passed it on to Prince Zheng, who named it Luming Villa. Speak less, don't let anyone hear."
Hua Fushu nodded.
"Who said no one heard it?" The man patted Hua Fushu on the shoulder.
Hua Fushu suddenly turned around and was shocked to see that the person was Yu Chisu.
"Xiaohua."
"Big fish." Hua Fushu was surprised. "Why are you here too?"
Yu Chisu said, "Master Ling also invited me."
Hua Fushu didn't believe it, "You and Master Ling are not familiar with each other."
Ye Zelin explained, "I asked Zhiheng to post a message to Miss Susu, asking her to come and keep you company."
"Sister Shu."
"Sister Shu."
"Sister Shu."
Two or three beautiful young women walked towards Hua Fushu. They were Youyou, Lingling, and Wu Huimin from the Shui family. The Shui sisters wore identical dresses. Youyou wore a goose-yellow silk dress with chrysanthemum patterns, while her younger sister wore a scallion-green silk dress with small lotus flowers embroidered on the cuffs and front. Wu Huimin wore a snow-blue dress with peony patterns and a yellow shoulder strap tied around her shoulders.
The three girls hadn't seen Hua Fushu for a long time and were very happy. Shui Lingling, in particular, pushed Ye Zelin aside and said excitedly, "Sister Shu, it's been a long time since we last met. Sister Wu said you also received an invitation from the Ling family and brother. We can play polo together again."
"Sister Shu, let's go over there." Wu Huimin said.
The three girls surrounded Hua Fushu and Yu Chisu and walked to a place not far away. There were tents set up around the court, with various chrysanthemums placed on them, a square coffee table with cushions, and tea, wine and pastries prepared.
Ye Zelin watched Hua Fushu leave with them without looking back, and felt a sense of inexplicable loss in his heart.
Today is Double Ninth Festival. There is a custom of climbing high places to appreciate chrysanthemums. You can still appreciate chrysanthemums now even if you don’t go climbing.
Hua Fushu asked, "Where did your cousin get so many varieties of chrysanthemums?"
Wu Huimin said: "My cousin has many friends, and most of these flowers were obtained by them."
"Oh." Hua Fushu responded.
Shui Lingling looked at the silent Yu Chisu and took the initiative to ask, "Sister, are you the daughter of Yu Shangshu's family, the female warrior with great martial arts skills that Sister Yun mentioned?"
Yu Chisu smiled awkwardly, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."
Hua Fushu put her arm around Yu Chisu's shoulders and said, "This is Yu Chisu, the niece of Yu Shangshu and my good friend. She's beautiful, warm, generous, and loyal. You'll definitely get along with her."
Yu Chi Su lowered her head in embarrassment. She was not as good as Hua Fushu said.
Shui Lingling was a warm-hearted person. She asked, "Sister Yu, can you play polo?"
"I don't know how to play polo," Yu Chisu said. "I can cheer you up while you play."
Soon, Ye Zelin and Ling Zhiheng came over, each holding a golf club. Ye Zelin asked, "Shu'er, are you on the same team with me and Zhiheng, or with the King of Qin and the King of Zheng?"
Ling Zhiheng spoke first: "Yu Shi, since my sister-in-law is such a good player, she should be on the same team with us."
Ye Zelin ignored Ling Zhiheng and continued to ask Hua Fushu, "What about you?"
Hua Fushu stood up and met Ye Zelin's eyes. "It seems more interesting to be opponents."
Ye Zelin chuckled, "That makes sense."
Ling Zhiheng was puzzled. This couple didn't like to cooperate, but preferred to be opponents?
The same thing happened to the couple when they played polo last time.
Hua Fushu came in front of Ye Zelin and said, "Let's go."
Shui Youyou, Wu Huimin, Ling Zhiheng, Ye Zelin and others formed one team, while Hua Fushu, Shui Lingling and Qin Wang formed another team. The young boys and girls mounted their horses with their clubs in hand, and a fierce game began.
The voices of young boys and girls and the movements of swinging clubs and hitting balls filled the entire golf course.
Watching the spirited young men and women on the court, Yu Chisu only regretted not being able to play polo. If she had, she would have definitely played. Playing polo had become a fashion in Kyoto, with many young men and women from wealthy families enjoying polo, chuiwan, and touhu. She was obsessed with swordsmanship and had hardly ever played any of these games.
Yu Chi Su suddenly remembered a poem she had read somewhere, perhaps perhaps heard from her uncle: "A young man on the Cuju field, a beautiful woman on the swing. In twos and threes, they take advantage of the auspicious occasion to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The sun is warm and the breeze is bright, making the fragrance of flowers and plants even more fragrant. The beauty steps out of her boudoir and secretly lifts the embroidered curtain to recognize each other."
After the poem was finished, she didn't know whether it was appropriate to the occasion. The poem mentioned Cuju, so it should be appropriate to the occasion.
After all, polo is also called Cuju.
The game ended quickly. The team of Ye Zelin and Ling Zhiheng won, and the team of Qin Wang and Hua Fushu lost.
Ye Zelin said, "Our two teams are of similar strength. Losing to our team by one goal is not shameful, Your Highnesses."
King Zheng said to his team members, "It's my fault. I'm holding you back."
Qin Youran looked at the dazzling Fushu quietly.
Hua Fushu held her head high and spoke righteously. She said, "Look at me, I'm not letting you win."
Qin Youran felt a little guilty, "I know."
Hua Fushu sneered. Qin Youran must have suspected that she had let him win, otherwise why would he feel guilty?
After a quarter of an hour's break, the second polo game is about to begin.
