The day of the polo match.
Zhu Scarlett still didn't dare to sleep at night. She didn't expect that Yan Xiu, who usually got up at 9 o'clock, would wake up at 9 o'clock. There was a sound of movement beside her at night, which scared her so much that she immediately pretended to be still asleep.
She closed her eyes and slowed down her breathing. The sound of people around her getting up and getting dressed rustled in her ears, like a snake leisurely looking for food in the quiet and cold night.
If it wasn't for her misunderstanding, Yan Xiu even pulled off the quilt for her.
After a sudden pause, the person on her body bent down, dropped a kiss on her forehead like a dragonfly, and then disappeared.
I really can't figure out his temperament more and more.
It's obvious that he has been angry with himself these past few days, but why is he sneaking around in the middle of the night...
Zhu Sijia got up when she was lying down. She drank a cup of very strong tea as usual, with a slight dark green under her eyes, and sat in front of the bronze mirror while Aunt Zhong helped her dress up.
Aunt Zhong carefully combed her long hair that reached her waist. When her eyes fell on her black tea soup, she said in confusion: "Beauty, your complexion has not been very good these days. I see that you get up earlier than others. Why not rest for half an hour more?"
"And since you are so young, this tea is cold, so don't drink it too strong, otherwise it will easily harm your health."
For a woman in this palace, what should be cherished and cared for most is her face.
Zhu Sijia smiled and said: "I'm used to it. When I was in the North, the sun rose earlier there than in Xijing City, so my schedule was an hour or two earlier than the people in Xijing. By the way, Aunt Zhong, does she know where your majesty is? ?”
She randomly found a reason to fool Aunt Zhong. Almost all the people in the palace that Yan Xiu could personally assign to serve her were for his use.
Their apparent master became Zhu Sijia, but their real master was still the emperor.
I wonder what they will reveal to Yan Xiu.
Aunt Zhong smiled cleverly while helping her tie up her hair: "His Majesty got up at midnight last night and said he was going to the mountains for night hunting. He personally hunted a wild boar and came back. Then he asked the people in the imperial kitchen to prepare a gift for the polo match today. Group of adults.”
The food given by the king himself is of extraordinary significance.
I wish Scarlett had a sudden enlightenment: "That's it."
Aunt Zhong tied up her hair, opened the wardrobe and asked her, "Beauty, have you thought about what to wear today?"
The wardrobe was filled with ordinary clothes she brought from Prince Yan's Mansion. Fortunately, before this autumn hunt, she knew that there would be many banquets, so she prepared two pieces of gorgeous clothes that were worthy of being on the table.
Yan Xing insisted on letting her change into the red dress at the last falcon training meeting, which attracted a lot of attention and secretly offended the Queen Mother.
The protagonist of this polo match is the group of men on horseback, let alone steal their limelight. Zhu Sijia thought for a while and said:
"Bring me that indigo floral furry skirt."
Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, there has never been a ban on the clothing of previous dynasties. Therefore, clothing of any dynasty and of any shape can be seen everywhere, and it is quite a scene of a hundred flowers blooming.
I wish Scarlett had applied a thicker layer of powder on her face than usual. Fortunately, the black spots under her eyes were not yet the color of a terminal illness. Once the powder was covered, she was no different from before.
Her clothes today are more stunning than last time, making her look more delicate and elegant. The low-key and restrained color scheme neutralizes her rich facial features, giving her a unique charm.
Aunt Zhong looked at Zhu Sijia who had finished dressing up and changed her clothes, and praised her again: "The beauty is so beautiful, even the jingchai and linen clothes can't cover up the beauty of the country."
Zhu Sijia stuffed a piece of broken silver into her hand and rewarded her: "Auntie, you are too complimentary. Do you know where the tent of the imperial dining room is? My incompetent brother will also play today. He is just starting out. I am worried that he will have stage fright, so I want to go first. Look at him."
After accepting her money, Aunt Zhong was overjoyed and led the way warmly: "Beauty, please come with me."
Zhu Sijia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Yuancun came in handy at the critical moment and gave her a reasonable reason.
If she remembered correctly, the polo match in the previous life ended in Da Qin's victory, but the victory was tragic and they were almost tied with the opponent.
She had not witnessed the polo match at that time. She only heard from Zhu Siying that the main players from Da Qin who were competing suddenly became so hungry before the match that they suffered from vomiting and diarrhea and collapsed. They were unable to play normally and had to be substituted.
But candidates are only candidates after all, so how can they defeat the gathering of heroes from other countries?
In the end, Yan Xiu was so angry that he changed his clothes and went into battle in person to turn the tide, allowing Da Qin to win by a narrow margin.
Even if they narrowly won this polo match, it would make Da Qin lose face for a long time.
This polo match in this life had Zhu Yuancun's intervention. Zhu Sijia was originally unwilling to change the direction of this incident and let it develop as it did in the previous life.
But there was always one more person in the team. If this changed the final outcome and caused Da Qin to lose, Yan Xiu would probably turn his anger on Zhu Yuancun.
After much thought, Zhu Sijia decided to go to the imperial dining room in advance to take a look. If she could be lucky enough to discover the flaw, she might be able to help Da Qin once.
Outside the large tent of the imperial dining room.
Zhu Sijia never expected that when she arrived, she saw that the person sitting next to the barbecue in the open space was actually Yan Xiu himself.
Although he briefly relieved himself of the imperial burden and chatted with the young ministers, his figure and casual demeanor were too outstanding among the crowd.
Zhu Sijia bumped into his thick and colorful eyebrows impartially.
His eyebrows were filled with surprise after seeing himself.
Yan Xiu stopped laughing. The grudge against her these past few days disappeared the moment he saw her. He said with a little more force in his voice: "Beauty Zhu, why are you here now?"
There are quite a few shirtless guys among these guys!
She glanced over hastily and saw that Zhu Yuancun was not among the group of people.
The aristocratic family members were so frightened that they hurriedly put on their coats.
Zhu Sijia immediately dodges her eyes and says loudly: "I, I miss Your Majesty, so I came here especially!"
If she said that she was here to see her brother again in this situation, she would be the one who would be roasted on the grill by Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu didn't even bother roasting the meat. He strode towards her and stood in front of her. He even had the tendency to cover her eyes with his hands: "Don't look at anything inappropriate."
Zhu Sijia dodged his hand, turned around and said coquettishly: "I, my concubine, please get out of the way first."
Yan Xiu didn't stop her, after all, he still wanted to grill the meat himself, but he heard her words clearly about missing him just now.
"Okay, remember what you just said." Yan Xiu's hands were oily and he couldn't touch her, so he said in a volume that could only be heard between the two of them, "Beauty, I miss you so much when I see what you are wearing today."
…
Striding away from the clearing where the grill was set up, Scarlett rested against a tree.
Isn’t Yuan Cun thinking about this polo game the most? Why didn't you show up before the emperor?
More importantly, Yan Xiu condescended to roast the wild boar meat. How could something he personally handled make them vomit and have diarrhea?
With too many doubts in her heart, Zhu Sijia walked decisively towards the polo field.
