Concubine Wu Hui's red lips parted slightly, she felt happy and said calmly.
As the main force of the cavalry team, she was now close to the two horses under Bai Gui's crotch, slightly one horse head behind. Therefore, she and Bai Gui were considered close to each other, and when she spoke, she was not afraid of being overheard by others.
Although she has a certain purpose in getting close to Bai Gui, who doesn't love the handsome man...
"Since Wu Jieyu wants to see my riding and shooting skills."
"It's embarrassing to be so expensive."
Bai Gui withdrew his gaze and said slowly.
As the number one scholar in martial arts, he shouldn't be too arrogant. Li Longji has real strength in equestrian skills, and if he is arrogant, it will be easy for others to see it.
Reining the horse to enter the competition.
The polo is made of wood and leather, with a hollow center, filled with feathers, a painted surface, and is as big as a fist.
The two teams of horses shuttled across each other and collided fiercely.
It's like fighting on the battlefield.
Li Longji occupies a good location and is a master of equestrian skills. In the first game, he hit the goal within a few rounds.
However, by the second game, Bai Gui had learned his lesson. Although he did not deliberately show off his magical powers, his martial arts skills were not comparable to those of Li Longji. As soon as the crescent-shaped cue touched the polo ball, it was like
It sticks to it, follows it like a shadow, and then the ball goes in.
In the third game, the ball was also scored.
In the fourth game, the ball scored again.
At this time, Li Longji also retracted his previous contemptuous thoughts and took the bow seriously.
In the fifth game, Li Longji scored.
But in the sixth game, Bai Gui scored again and scored again.
In the seventh game, Li Longji scored.
…
"If I hadn't shown my true skills, I would have lost to Bai Qing this time."
"It was also a narrow victory, only two goals away..."
After playing polo for more than an hour, Li Longji was sweating profusely. His whole body was covered in stinky sweat. He panted and said.
As soon as he got off his horse, a palace maid came up with warm water to wipe him.
"Your Majesty's skill in playing bow is superb, and it is difficult for me to match him."
"In the pre-Qin period, Sun Wuzi served in Wu, trained palace maids as soldiers, and proved his general talents to King Helu of Wu. Now that your majesty can win at polo, I think... if your majesty is a general outside, you can conquer it yourself.
, I’m afraid there will be no room for me to show my full potential.”
Bai Gui flattered me without leaving any trace.
The flattery was just a few words, and he said it smoothly without any psychological burden.
Although he lost to Li Longji for the first time in this kicking match, after playing a few games, he gradually became familiar with Li Longji's fighting methods. He may not be able to match Li Longji's skills, but he can still defeat Li Longji if he wants to.
, but he deliberately lost to Li Longji, not just by one goal, but by two goals.
If you missed a goal, you would be "spreading rumors" and saying that you lost on purpose to flatter the emperor.
But with a difference of two goals, everyone would probably think that Li Longji deserved the victory!
Although the former will also make the emperor happy, over time, after hearing some rumors, the emperor will feel that you are scheming. However, the latter may not gain so many benefits in the moment, but it is better than being steady.
"Bai Qing is so humble..."
"I still know that I am worth a lot. Forget about playing polo. If I really want to direct the war, it will be a disservice to the country."
When Li Longji heard these words, his face immediately showed joy, but he kept declining.
When ordinary eunuchs or generals praised him, he turned a deaf ear. But Bai Gui was the champion in martial arts. He led troops to destroy a country at a young age. He was a famous general in the dynasty, and was as high as the champion of the Han Dynasty.
If you flatter someone like this, it's like drinking wine.
"Don't just wipe it for me, wipe Bai Qing's sweat too."
Li Longji scolded the eunuch on the side.
After wiping the sweat.
Bai Gui was ready to say goodbye and retreat.
"Your Majesty, I haven't done my best yet, why don't you let Marquis Lin Yi and I get off the court together and play polo again."
"Your Majesty is watching from the high platform."
Concubine Wu Hui said coquettishly to Li Longji.
"This matter..."
"Okay, Bai Qing, just play polo with Jieyu."
Li Longji nodded and said.
He didn't see anything else in Concubine Wu Hui's eyes. In the past, foreign ministers would play polo with his concubines. Now that Bai Gui and Concubine Wu Hui are playing polo together, there is nothing to be suspicious about.
"Your Majesty, I am a court official, how can I have fun with the concubines in the harem?"
"I beg your Majesty's forgiveness, I have resigned."
Bai Gui frowned, with a displeased look on his face, and prepared to throw away his sleeves.
If there was no Li Longji, he wouldn't mind playing polo with Concubine Wu Hui or other women. But now that Li Longji is here and he is playing polo with Concubine Wu Hui openly like this, it is really difficult to guess who Li Longji is.
idea.
Since it is difficult to speculate, then don’t speculate. Skipping the problem is also a solution to the problem.
Moreover, at this time, the courtiers and concubines playing together can be interpreted as a favor, or it can be interpreted as a kind of humiliation for the courtiers.
This is different from flattering the emperor. Even the most upright minister has flattered the emperor. When writing a memorial, you don't have to say a few greetings as usual. When writing a poem, you don't want the emperor to reuse him as a loyal minister.
Flattery is loyalty!
At this point, as long as the photo is not overdone and not naked, there is no big problem.
But when he plays with the concubine, his nature changes.
Became an actor!
For the scholar-bureaucrats, it was almost unbearable.
A close minister is a close minister, but he not only relied on the emperor to get to this point again, but also had real qualifications and military exploits.
"Bai Qing stays..."
"This is my fault. I made a mistake for a moment. Please don't blame me, Bai Qing."
Li Longji quickly stepped forward and grabbed Bai Gui's sleeve, apologizing sincerely.
Bai Gui's actions seemed to be against the holy will, but on the inside they were expressing his nobility. Therefore, Li Longji not only would not be angry, but would be happy and dissuade him.
Of course, this approach only applies to wise kings. For faint kings..., such deeper meanings cannot be seen.
"Wu Jieyu, you made a mistake."
"Why don't you come forward and apologize to Bai Qing..."
Li Longji scolded.
"Marquis Lin Yi, I am rude, please don't blame me, Marquis Lin Yi."
Concubine Wu Hui's almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears, which were watery and pitiful. The tears fell from her delicate face and fell on her clothes.
The skirt of the clothes was already stained with fragrant sweat, but after it got wet, it had a unique charm.
Bai Gui's expression softened and he casually raised his hand, thus clearing up the trouble.
"I unintentionally offended Marquis Lin Yi this time. Not only did it embarrass Your Majesty, but Marquis Lin Yi was almost humiliated. I... feel really sorry in my heart."
"Why don't you come to Lin Yihou in person in three days to apologize?"
"This way, I can express my apology. Secondly, it can also show that your majesty is well-mannered and the harem is virtuous. Thirdly, it can also prove that Lin Yihou has a noble character and is a wise man..."
"Perhaps it can also become a story that will last forever."
After a while, Concubine Wu Hui wiped her tears and cried as if she was crying.
"My beloved, this method is very good."
"I didn't expect that my beloved concubine is so smart..."
Li Longji nodded repeatedly.
To put it simply, Concubine Wu Hui’s move was just a show, but Concubine Wu’s show was beneficial to all three of them. Concubine Wu Hui could gain a reputation as a virtuous person who corrected her mistakes after she acknowledged them, while Li Longji gained an even greater reputation.
Throughout the ages, every wise king must have a virtuous harem, and once this story is spread, everyone will think that Li Longji treats his ministers well and has a tolerant personality...
It is also good for Bai Gui.
"What a terrible scheming!"
"If I had agreed to play polo with her just now, she would definitely use it to seduce me. If I had not agreed, I would be in this situation now..."
Bai Gui narrowed his eyes slightly and looked a little cold.
There is no reason to refuse at all!
After all, the emperor’s concubines personally apologized, and you don’t understand. Are you having second thoughts?!
And he obviously couldn't tell that Concubine Wu Hui intended to seduce him... If he did, Concubine Wu Hui might be harmed, but for him, the consequences would be endless.
"We must cultivate the golden elixir as soon as possible to stabilize our luck."
"Otherwise, if we can avoid Concubine Wu Hui today, what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?"
Bai Gui passed by Wu Huifei and became alarmed.
If he cultivated the golden elixir, he wouldn't have to be so "fearful".
Although you can also cultivate golden elixirs by practicing in the mountains, it is undoubtedly much slower than practicing in the court.
How could he give up so easily after he had worked so hard to get everything he had now?
Even if Concubine Wu Hui had certain obstacles, this alone would not make him give up everything in the court.
