But she didn't say it out loud, realizing that she had indeed talked too much.
Just shut up and sit aside quietly.
Over there, the Queen Mother was whispering something to the Crown Prince who was about to play basketball.
"Let that girl go for a while."
"Grandma, are you going to sell me out?"
"You have to give face to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Just give her a turn or two and don't lose face for the royal family."
Helan Ruizhe nodded reluctantly, "I understand, grandma."
The eunuchs were already lighting the incense, and when the drums sounded, the first polo match officially began.
Tang Ruozhi rode the horse very steadily and rushed out at the start.
She took the ball first and seemed to want to win very much. She slumped down on her horse, leaning her body, and carried the ball over one barrier after another, heading straight for Helan Ruizhe's goal.
But this prince was a vegetarian. He clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and the fierce horse rushed straight towards Tang Ruozhi... and the ball under the club.
The black-haired young man, with a bright and handsome face, and his heroic figure on horseback made Tang Ruozhi stunned for a moment.
“Ding——”
With a flash, Helan Ruizhe snatched the ball from Tang Ruozhi's hand and headed towards the goal.
The road was smooth and Tang Ruozhi was following closely behind, but Helan Ruizhe was more stable than her. Even with the ball, he could still ride the horse very fast.
Soon, Helan Ruizhe scored the first goal.
Tang Ruozhi regretted his carelessness and concentrated more energy, not allowing himself to be distracted by Helan Ruizhe's beauty. He focused all his attention on the ball that was not in his hand.
Even so, during this incense stick, Helan Ruizhe scored nine goals, while Tang Ruzhi scored zero goals.
When Eunuch Bai announced the result, Jin Suting saw that the Queen Mother's face turned green.
She wanted to laugh because she saw Tang Ruzhi looking so proud when she played on the court. She thought she was very good at playing tennis, but she didn't expect her to lose so badly.
But when she saw Yu Qinglan's warning look, she forced herself to smile back.
Helan Ruizhe still didn't take off his mask. He threw the golf equipment to Yuan Jing and returned to his seat.
Tang Ruozhi followed behind him, looking like a wronged young wife.
Helan Ruizhe sat down in his seat, loosened his mask, and took a big sip of cold tea.
He said, "Playing ball in this early spring weather is tiring."
In fact, he didn't even sweat much. Yuan Jing handed him a sweat towel and said, "The prince is tired just to pretend to be weak and cynical in public!"
The Queen Mother didn't respond to his words. Instead, she comforted the defeated Tang Ruozhi, "Tang girl, it's okay! A Rui has been playing polo since he was a child. He's very good. It's normal for him to lose. Not many people can beat him."
Helan Ruizhe knew that the Queen Mother was trying to save face for Tang Ruozhi and the Prime Minister's Mansion. He didn't say anything, but his words seemed to comfort her. Tang Ruozhi didn't feel comforted after hearing them. Instead, she felt that Helan Ruizhe was deliberately not letting her win, didn't want to get along with her, and was trying his best to make her lose.
When she thought of this, she wanted to cry, but she didn't cry in the end.
On the surface, she just sat back in her seat obediently, with a look of grievance written all over her face, as if Helan Ruizhe, who was sitting next to her, had betrayed her and committed a serious crime.
A quarter of an hour later, Yu Qinglan came on stage.
Before going on stage, Jin Suting was still worried and kept reminding her to be careful.
"Okay, I didn't intend to win, so I won't try my best." Yu Qinglan gave her a reassuring smile.
Before going on stage, Yu Qinglan looked in the direction of the Grand Tutor's Mansion. Yu Chenghao and Helan Yinsheng were sitting side by side. The latter seemed to feel her gaze and gave her an affirmative look.
Yu Qinglan lowered her head and smiled to herself. What she wanted was not a look that was sure that she would win.
The eunuch lit incense, drums sounded, and both men rushed directly towards the ball in the center.
The game was evenly matched, and neither player could hold the ball for more than two rounds.
Half an incense stick of time passed, but still no goal was scored.
Everyone in the stands was getting impatient, but the two people on the field started talking to each other.
"It's been dragging on for so long, we have to score a goal."
"Then, shall I give way to the prince?"
"Sister Lan, how can a woman give in to a man?"
"Oh, then if you let me win, what will happen to your little princess?"
"Okay, I'm just being polite. Sister Lan, please be careful..."
Helan Ruizhe dodged Yu Qinglan's horse, successfully got the ball, and rushed straight to the goal.
Yu Qinglan chased after him a little lazily, and fell behind by a long distance.
When the incense burned out, Helan Ruizhe scored the first goal of the game.
"Wow--"
"ah--"
"So handsome—"
Jin Suting, who was almost asleep while watching the game, was awakened by the cheers from the court. After waking up, she found that Helan Ruizhe had won the game again.
This is too amazing.
She had witnessed Yu Qinglan's ball skills with her own eyes, and they were completely at the god level.
How could Helan Ruizhe actually beat her? He must have let her win.
After Yu Qinglan returned, Jin Suting whispered to her, "I don't think anyone else will get this opportunity to have a day trip with the Crown Prince. So, what's the point of this competition?"
Yu Qinglan replied with a mysterious smile: "That's not necessarily the case. Maybe this opportunity will fall on you."
"How is that possible?" Jin Suting was truly incredulous. "If you can't even beat him, forget about me, a rookie who can't even ride a horse steadily!"
Yu Qinglan laughed at her, "I was just joking, don't get so excited."
Am I excited? Jin Suting asked herself in her heart, it seems that I am a little bit.
The first time I saw the prince, I felt a sense of familiarity, but I couldn't tell where I had seen him.
Before Jin Suting could finish thinking, it was her turn.
She was riding a horse, and the horse was surprisingly docile. Could it be because she had fed him today?
He was full, so he was well behaved.
When the drums sounded, neither Jin Suting nor Helan Ruizhe moved.
The audience was a little confused by this. Is this a strategy of not moving unless the enemy moves?
I watched for a while and found that they were still not moving.
The person involved, Jin Suting, was very puzzled as to why the prince was so strange in the third scene.
It seems like they are deliberately letting the water go.
No matter what, "Drive——"
She rushed directly towards the ball in the middle. As she moved, Helan Ruizhe also moved, but his speed was extremely slow.
Like a young man riding a horse past looking at flowers.
In comparison, Jin Suting is relatively powerful.
After rushing around, he finally got the ball and headed straight for Helan Ruizhe's goal.
There was no skill involved, and he even threw the ball far away from the goal.
But the funny thing is, it actually got in.
And Helan Ruizhe didn't stop it, which is obviously an act of letting the game go.
The Queen Mother has already seen it and can no longer bear to watch it.
