Chapter 314 The 9-Year-Old, Brainless Adopted Daughter 16
In the fifth year of the seventh reign of the Lü dynasty, in the spring.
"Princess, please try on another one. This cyan belt really suits you better!"
"Qinghe, you may step back now. I have something important to report." Baiji interrupted Qinghe's attack on Xia Youmi's attire and gestured for her to leave.
The people she trained herself are now receiving more and more attention from their master.
It was bittersweet, but Qinghe remembered her mission and obediently withdrew.
"The princess!"
"You mean, is it that person again?" Xia Youmi couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
"Indeed! Princess, this is the twenty-fifth time I have successfully thwarted your plan." Once everyone else was in the room, Bai Ji adopted a fawning manner, as if seeking a reward. Ironically, this person had matured somewhat and didn't appear petty; he simply seemed pleasing to the eye.
"Alright, from now on, the reward will double every five and increase fivefold every zero," Xia Youmi said confidently.
Bai Ji was overjoyed and couldn't wait to come up with more new ideas.
"However, don't harm them. As you get older, your reputation becomes more important. If they don't do anything to us, there's no need to target them. But if they have any ulterior motives, you're allowed to act first and report later." Xia Youmi narrowed her eyes, revealing a hint of danger.
"Yes! Your servant obeys!" But Bai Ji just liked seeing such a mischievous master.
The matter they were discussing was related to Gu Xinyan.
The 25 successful attempts to stop them mean that the male and female protagonists had so many chances to meet, but all of them were thwarted by the professional team developed by Bai Ji.
to date,
They don't give you any chance to develop the plot.
Because the focus of the entire story is on the male protagonist's growth, the female protagonist's existence cannot be revealed in the early stages.
So let's be more thorough and completely eliminate any physical contact.
The Bletilla striata team is now so skilled that even seeing it from afar is considered a humiliating failure.
As the polo club's influence grew, Xia Youmi, Fu Yu, and others joined forces to make a fortune. Preventing the female lead from meeting the male lead became increasingly difficult, requiring a different method each month.
If the methods of prevention are repeated, it is easy to arouse suspicion.
After Bai Ji finished her report, Zi Luo brought over a plate of hairbands and belts and asked Xia Youmi to choose one.
tomorrow,
It marks the fourth anniversary of the polo tournament.
It was still a grand event coinciding with Grain Rain, with countless dignitaries and powerful figures from the capital in attendance.
The incident stemmed from that test, in which questions about soldiers and farmers were sent to the Fu residence.
After defeating everyone together, Fu Yu would take the initiative to teach Xia Youmi how to use a longbow. During this time, there were many tests and heart-to-heart talks.
Finally, the two reached a consensus.
Fu Yu was also the first to believe that Xia Youmi wanted to improve the military strength of the Lü Dynasty.
Although it seems somewhat ridiculous and without any legitimate reason, if we follow her instructions, the results will be visible.
Take this polo club for example,
At the tournament a year after Xia Youmi enrolled, they were finally well-prepared and dared to invite spectators.
Even without being invited, many well-informed people still manage to spy on others through various means, though not in a very respectable manner.
This time was different; Xia Youmi was also undergoing a comprehensive assessment by the imperial clan, led by Prince Geng.
Unexpected events kept happening.
However, those who had been removed from Li Wanran and Sheng Ze's faction revealed surprisingly formidable strength. That very night, the adoption was finalized. Meanwhile, the crucial link within the palace remained in Sheng Ze's hands.
Lü Shuo didn't really concern himself with Xia Youmi's arrangements.
Thus, I missed the opportunity to learn that I had another aunt.
With a legitimate identity, Xia Youmi joined forces with the Fu family and Lü Ying to market the polo club.
Given that the royal family took the lead,
Polo has become popular in the capital, but for formal matches, the Imperial Palace is still the place to be!
Not just anyone can enter the Imperial Estate, nor can just anyone enjoy the Emperor's personal competition.
How to meet the growing demand for watching the games while also saving face? The answer is an invitation system; saying they're buying tickets isn't quite accurate. They've launched many merchandise items, including customized gear named after "Shuili," and so on.
It represents the most authoritative competition.
Huangzhuang has trained professional players, and there are fixed dates for competitions every month, which can be entered by purchasing tickets.
However, the session involving eight students will not be sold to the public.
Invitations are based on points.
Points are earned by purchasing merchandise from the Shui Li Polo Club, and will be accumulated accordingly.
Furthermore, their activities were not for personal gain, and were jointly endorsed by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue. All profits from the polo club were donated to the imperial court as military funds to cultivate relevant military personnel.
Funds are earmarked for specific purposes and are subject to supervision.
In this way, it's all done in the name of doing good deeds! Watching the game is just a hobby, and communicating with the powerful and wealthy is just an added benefit.
It is important to serve the people and ensure a stable life.
Families who are frequently invited receive special treatment, including a special gift prepared by the winner of the day.
The number of times they attended will also be engraved on the Imperial Palace Glory Monument.
Occasionally, those lists would be spread among the people with the help of storytellers, receiving widespread praise.
Who wouldn't want to be remembered for eternity?
Originally, I was just a junior member of the family, and I went to watch the polo match just for the excitement.
But later,
As benefits began to emerge, many veterans couldn't sit still and flocked to specialized agencies to register.
Let's just talk about this one polo event.
That would be enough to cover several years' worth of military expenses.
Moreover, this was something that the powerful and wealthy willingly exploited.
There will be no complaints, nor will there be any exploitation of the people. If you happen to find a family that wants to recoup their money from the people after spending it, you can catch them red-handed!
The task of catching them was assigned to Fei Liangcai and Mu Ying.
Fu Yu and Huo Pan both became star players, attracting attention on the field.
Gu Xin'e and Wang Yuhuan then took charge of the accounts.
Although they had trained many managers, they were ultimately dealing with buying and selling.
They lacked some sensitivity to the relationships between the powerful and wealthy.
This part requires Gu Xin'ong to examine the documents, while Wang Yuhuan will continuously write invitation letters. Depending on the amount of funding and the recipient's status, each letter will be unique and heartfelt.
Lü Shuo usually doesn't show up; he has a lot to learn, and he can't usually manage to perform three times in a row.
That's fine too; randomness can drive people crazy.
Xia Youmi filled the vacancy for female ball skills player.
She had already made a name for herself in the second Grain Rain Competition. After the competition, she gained the approval of members of the imperial family, including Prince Geng.
They also gained a large number of fans who watched the game.
At least, those who went to see the seven rainbows all felt immense pressure.
They refined Xia Youmi's outfits and accessories time and time again, and even consciously improved their own styling skills. They styled her to look dashing and heroic, according to Xia Youmi's wishes.
In addition to the appearance and goal-scoring posture, there is also blue embroidered yellow silk to accompany the promotion.
Li Wanran even personally led a group to watch the game and cheered loudly for her.
He resembled a sports star from the Lü Dynasty.
The brighter her brilliance, the more troubled Lu Shuo and his teammates became.
But I am not as good as her; to be jealous of her would be shameful.
He had no choice but to practice again and again, and his ball skills really did get better and better.
occasionally,
Xia Youmi also teaches falling techniques; if done well, it can make you look pitiful.
It also adds a touch of elegance and style, enhancing the overall entertainment value of the team.
