Chapter 335 Do You Know? Lin Yitang 49
Miss Yu agreed. Huiyue looked down at Sheng Minglan, sized her up, raised an eyebrow, and said, "This young lady should... have no objections, right?"
Although the sentence was asked, it was interpreted as a statement by Sheng Minglan. Sheng Minglan smiled brightly and said, "It is our honor that the princess can join us."
Zhao Huiyue glanced at Sheng Minglan. She had never seen this person before and guessed that she was either the daughter of a low-ranking official or a concubine's daughter.
With one more person on Sheng Minglan's side, Yu San Guniang's group also needed one more person. Yu San Guniang quickly called over someone she knew, the daughter of the second son of the Minister of Rites.
The competition started again, and Zhao Huiyue was the first to rush out, followed closely by Sheng Minglan.
Huiyue held the reins tightly with her left hand and the polo mallet in her right. The horse let out a long neigh, and the whistling wind blew her hair in her face.
With quick reflexes, she struck the ball first with her polo mallet, then spurred her horse at breakneck speed, chasing after the ball. This horse, a gift from her father, was a fine steed that ran fast and steadily, and she scored a point directly.
Sheng Minglan and Zhao Huiyue worked together seamlessly, scoring points one after another. Seeing that they could no longer be allowed to win, Yu San Guniang chased after Sheng Minglan, picked up her polo mallet and hit her. Sheng Minglan was good at riding and dodged the blow, even managing to score a point herself.
……
The intense polo match immediately attracted a lot of attention, especially since Princess Fushou herself was on the field, so many people came to watch the game.
Princess Jiacheng looked at Princess Fushou with a sullen expression; the focus of this polo match should have been on her.
However, her father was a prince, so naturally he couldn't compare to Princess Fushou. If her father could become...
The surrounding noise brought Princess Jiacheng back to reality; in the end, Princess Fushou's team won.
Huiyue dismounted, and Sheng Minglan's eyes were full of joy. She ran to Yu Yanran, with Sheng Changfeng following behind her.
These two are quite interesting; they're very close friends.
Sheng Minglan pulled Yu Yanran to Huiyue's side, her eyes crinkling as she said, "Your Highness, this is the eldest daughter of the Yu family, Yu Yanran, who is my good friend. Yanran, this is Princess Fushou. We were able to win just now thanks to Your Highness."
"Thank you, Your Highness Princess."
"No need for formalities. I only joined the competition because I found it interesting."
She genuinely didn't know the grudges involved; she simply wanted to play polo. As for the hairpin, she didn't need it, so she decided to give it to them.
As Zhao Huiyue left the stage, many people walked towards her. Unable to dodge them, Huiyue could only smile and interact with them.
A gaze was fixed on her. Huiyue, perceptive as ever, turned her head and saw the jealous face of the Princess of Jiacheng. Huiyue tilted her head and looked at the Princess of Jiacheng in a provocative manner, successfully angering the Princess of Jiacheng.
Finally, she greeted the people surrounding her and found a place to sit down.
The polo match was coming to an end, and Huiyue asked Madam Wu for leave in advance to return to the palace.
……
The Sheng family was not so peaceful, with Sheng Molan and Sheng Minglan riding in the same carriage.
Sheng Molan said sarcastically, "I didn't expect you to be so good at currying favor. You even bewitched the princess and managed to befriend her."
“Your Highness is wise. How come Fourth Sister says that the Princess cannot distinguish right from wrong?” Sheng Minglan retorted.
These words infuriated Sheng Molan. Who would dare to speak ill of the princess? If word got out, the reputation of the women of the Sheng family would be ruined. Moreover, her father was only a minor official of the fifth rank. If the princess spoke ill of the Sheng family to the emperor, it would be enough to make the Sheng family unable to survive.
"You're getting more and more eloquent." What else could Sheng Molan say but gasped for breath.
