They chose the most docile old horse for Li Siye. As he sat on the horse, Li Siye felt a little dizzy and pulled hard on the reins, fearing that he would fall off the horse and be embarrassed.
He will inevitably get some jokes like this, but there is no malicious intention, it is just to add a lively atmosphere to the boring work.
"Is Pancake Qianniu suffering from horse sickness? I've heard of seasickness, but I've never heard of horse sickness?"
"That is to say, at this level, you still dare to boast that you defeated Zhonglang General Wei Ning. Why don't you say that you will go to heaven?"
"The people we lead in the East Palace are worse than the last, and their ability to brag is worse than the last."
People traveling with the prince, Zuo Neili, immediately expressed their dissent: "That's your right Neili, don't count us all together."
Immediately, most of the Zuo Nei rate Qianniu preparations burst into laughter.
When the prince arrived on horseback, everyone was silent, as silent as a bunch of black crows. They returned to their teams, starting from Chongjiao Gate, passing through three gates to the imperial road outside the palace, and then passed through Chengtian Gate.
, pass through the three main halls of Taiji Palace, and bypass the inner Ganlu Palace to reach the polo field in the palace.
Li Siye felt that walking like this seemed like a long way. Starting from Xuande Gate in the East Palace, and then entering the palace city from Xuanwu Gate, it was nearly half the distance than it was now.
He immediately figured out why. The officials of the East Palace and the prince were very afraid of the Xuanwu Gate. Whether it was due to superstition or something else, they would never take this road unless necessary, even if it required a longer detour.
The polo field in the Tai Chi Palace is located on the side of the Chengxiang Palace. The field has been sprinkled with butter so that there will be no dust during the game and no grass will grow over time.
The emperor, including the prince, and other princes all like to play polo, and the prince is even more keen on this sport. If he does not play for three days, he will feel itchy and uncomfortable. In addition, the polo field is also a place where the royal family exchanges feelings. No matter what kind of unpleasantness and conflicts they usually have,
But on the court, it's always fun and enjoyable.
Participating in the competition today are the Prince's polo team, the Shou Wang Li Hao's team and the palace Qian Niuwei's polo team. The first to go on the field to decide the winner was the Prince's team and the Shou Wang team. Both sides started with arrows drawn.
Crossbows were fired, horses' hooves galloped and fluttered, clubs were swung to hit, horses collided with each other, and from time to time someone fell off the horse and wailed.
Li Siye watched with fear. This sport is too dangerous. Even if the team members are covered with leather and other protective gear, they will inevitably be injured when they fall and be trampled by war horses. Compared with football and basketball, the risk factor of polo matches is too high.
High, even rugby games, which are famous for collisions, do not have such a high risk.
Along with the risk comes a sense of excitement. The higher the risk, the greater the sense of excitement. Watching the entire game as a bystander, he felt his heart beat faster, let alone those who were playing.
Today's Prince's team is all riding masters, Liu Ziwu is among them, but he is not the most popular one. The most popular one is Prince Zuo Nei's deputy, named Qian Zeng, whose vertical horse
His batting skills are all top-notch, whether he is turning the horse's head or charging straight, it is unmatched by others.
Even the prince, who was sitting in the banquet watching the battle, would sometimes stand up from his bed and shout at the court without regard for dignity: "Qian Zeng! Hurry! Rush over!"
Those who can be called by the prince's name have absolute honor and are favored more than others. Li Siye stood outside and watched coldly, seeming to understand the way of promotion in the East Palace. The prince was keen on polo, so he played polo well.
Good people will get more attention.
Next, the prince came on the stage in person, waving the polo club and participated in the competition in person, and King Shou also rode into battle. It seemed to be a competition between brothers.
He raised his head and glanced at the emperor sitting in the Chenglu Hall. What was his mood at the moment? The Crown Prince and Prince Shou were galloping on the court below. Everything they did was to compete for his attention. In this Nuo University,
In the palace, everything everyone does and thinks is to compete for the attention of the superior.
Just like these princes, they also strive to gain exposure in front of the prince in order to gain more attention.
Only Li Siye was not like this. He knew that this was a ship that was about to sink. The higher and faster it rose, and the closer it got to the core of the prince, the greater the danger in the future.
He still stood obediently on the outside to avoid being taken to the abyss of the sea by the capsized ship. If he did not earn unimportant attention, it would be quite good to be a Qianniu seventh-grade official.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty only watched two games before he got up to go back to the palace. Concubine Wu Hui, who was accompanying him, also left together. The group of people on the court stopped the game and sent the emperor off respectfully.
When the emperor was there, everyone couldn't let go. They didn't dare to applaud or boo. As soon as the emperor left, the atmosphere on the court became noisy. The maids from the Tai Chi Palace also came to watch, cheering and cheering.
One after another, the atmosphere of the game was created.
The decisive battle between the Crown Prince and King Shou also became more unscrupulous. After a round of charging and fighting, two people fell off their horses and were injured and were carried off the field. However, the momentum and determination of the two men did not weaken at all. Li Siye could see the Crown Prince's forehead.
With swollen veins on his forehead, Li Hao, the elegant-looking and graceful longevity king, also blushed, as if the victory or defeat of the last ball would determine the ownership of the dragon throne.
Li Siye's eyes turned and he noticed in the stands of Chenglu Hall, a woman wearing crimson attire stood up from the carpet and looked worriedly towards the playing field.
This woman has an extremely beautiful appearance, and the dazzling jade on the golden hairpin on her head cannot cover up the brilliance of her face. There are several princesses and ladies around her, but under her rare and dazzling face, everyone has become a
The foil is like all the living beings that are lightly daubed in oil paintings.
Li Siye couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and finally guessed who she was. He was even a little panicked, and quickly looked around, fearing that others would spy out his disrespectful thoughts.
Yang Yuhuan has Hu ancestry, which makes her nose bridge higher, but it highlights her uniqueness. Her slender neck is as elegant as a white swan crossing its neck.
This is the cabbage owned by the Li family and his son. Others cannot support it. If you want to support it, you have to rebel. He didn't know if An Lushan had this reason.
The match between Prince Edward and Prince Shou ended with the Prince team winning. The gloomy-looking Li Ying was aggressive on the court and his pride did not allow him to fail.
Next was the match between the Qianniu Guards and the Donggong team. The prince came down to watch the match, but the match showed a one-sided disadvantage. These princes who had just won the victory were vulnerable to the emperor's guards. No matter in terms of physical strength
There is a considerable gap in both football and technology. This gap can almost be compared to Chinese football and Brazilian football.
The prince was not too disappointed, but still watched with great interest, and the Neilu Qianniu didn't feel too embarrassed. It seemed that they were used to the feeling of losing in front of the Qianniu Guards.
Li Siye turned his head curiously and asked Teng Mu: "What's going on? The prince was anxious just now to decide the outcome with King Shou, but now he's fighting Qian Niuwei instead. He's not worried even if he loses so miserably?"
"What's the point? The generals in the East Palace can't beat the Qianniu Guards. Wei Ning and the other generals are not only top-notch masters in swordsmanship, but they also have few opponents when it comes to riding horses and shooting bows. The prince and the others are used to it.
