Chapter 334 Do You Know? Lin Yitang 48
Under a clear blue sky, Huiyue looked up, squinted, and glanced at the sky; it was dazzling.
It was a rare opportunity for Zhao Huiyue to leave the palace, so she arrived at the polo match early and quickly walked up to Madam Wu, greeting the hostess of the banquet as a matter of etiquette.
"It is a great honor that Princess Fushou would grace my humble amusement with her presence at my polo match." Madam Wu loved playing polo, but as she had aged, she hadn't played herself in a long time.
"I've long heard that the Lady of the Yongchang Earl's Mansion is a skilled polo player, but Huiyue is unlucky enough not to have met her."
"Ah, those were things from when I was young. Now that I'm old, I need to rely on you all."
More and more people flocked over, but Zhao Huiyue didn't want to get entangled with them. She exchanged a few words with Madam Wu and left the conspicuous place.
A quarter of an hour later, the families of many high-ranking officials and nobles arrived one after another. Huiyue hid to the side and caught a glimpse of Rong Feiyan, the younger sister of Consort Rongde, and Princess Jiacheng, the daughter of Prince Yong.
Seeing that Princess Fushou was in a daze, Qingyun followed her gaze and saw Rong Feiyan.
"Princess, I heard that it was because Young Master Qi Heng came to the polo match that Miss Rong Feiyan came as well."
"Oh?" Huiyue asked in confusion.
"It's all over Bianjing that Miss Rong Feiyan likes Young Master Qi Heng. Usually, if Young Master Qi Heng is present, Miss Rong Feiyan will definitely be there too," Qingyu explained.
After a while, Zhao Huiyue saw a group of people arrive, and there was already a group of people playing polo on the racecourse. She recognized them; they were the third daughter of the Yu family. They seemed like a capable person, but she wondered what they were like in private.
Gu Tingye didn't come; he was busy with business at the Hanlin Academy. Gu Tingye's younger sister, Gu Tinglan, was supposed to come to the polo match, but unfortunately, Gu Tinglan was unwell and had fallen ill a few days ago. Bai Ruonan, of course, didn't dare let her go out and stayed home with Gu Tinglan.
"Is the princess bored? Would you like to join in?" Qingyun suggested.
It's not that Qingyun is bragging, but the princess plays polo very well. She is usually accompanied by eunuchs and palace maids. The eunuchs and palace maids hold back, so no one dares to compete with the princess, which means that Huiyue never gets to enjoy herself to the fullest.
Chaos and arguments broke out at the horse racing track, and a group of people appeared nearby, wanting to get to know Zhao Huiyue. Zhao Huiyue and Crown Prince Zhao Xu were siblings, born of the same mother. Being on good terms with Zhao Huiyue meant being on good terms with the Crown Prince.
Zhao Huiyue hated those people the most; they were all trying to curry favor with her because of her brother. She didn't like them at all. She was Zhao Huiyue, not Zhao Xu's sister.
"Let's go take a look." Seeing that the group of people were coming, Huiyue immediately led Qingyun and Qingyu away.
……
As the competition was about to begin, Zhao Huiyue changed her clothes and walked to the horse field, saying loudly, "This is quite interesting. I, the princess, have never seen anything so interesting before."
I had heard that Princess Fushou had come to the polo match, but she arrived early and was lounging around on the sidelines. Since I didn't see anyone else, only those from particularly powerful families knew about her.
"Princess Jinan!"
Sheng Minglan dismounted with the others and bowed in greeting.
Huiyue waved her hand casually and said, "No need for formalities."
“This princess has long wanted to join the fray. Now that you haven’t even started, how about I join you?” Huiyue asked.
The third daughter of the Yu family, the second young master, Sheng Minglan and the others looked at each other in dismay. The princess was precious, and it would be a serious crime to hurt her.
"Having just witnessed Miss Yu's elegance, I'd like to have a contest with her. Why don't I join this team?" Huiyue spoke up as if oblivious to the tense atmosphere between them.
After Huiyue finished speaking, Xiaodezi led over a horse, and Huiyue mounted it, giving them no chance to object.
The Third Miss Yu whispered a few words to the Second Young Master Yu, and then the Third Miss Yu flattered him, saying, "Thank you for your praise, Princess. I have heard that you are very skilled at playing ball. I am fortunate to see it today."
