Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 518: The eldest daughter-in-law of a wealthy family (40)

When the ladies appeared on the court on horseback, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the platform.

The eldest princess, who was in the lead, was dressed in a Hu riding costume today. Her narrow-sleeved scarlet brocade robe was embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns in gold thread, and she had a belt tied tightly around her waist. She wore deerskin boots on her feet, and the toes of her boots were embellished with pearls and colorful gems, sparkling in the sunlight.

She wore no hairpins or jewelry, but only tied her long black hair up high in a bun, with a cinnabar flower on her forehead, which made her eyebrows and features look picturesque and heroic.

This outfit made the ladies on the platform itchy, and they also wanted to wear this handsome men's clothing.

"The eldest princess is still as heroic as ever."

"Is the horse she's riding 'Treading Lotus in the Snow'?"

"Yes! It's 'Treading on Lotus in the Snow'."

This "Treading Lotus in the Snow" is as white as snow all over, except for its four hooves which are as red as flames. It is a thousand-mile horse presented by the Khan of the Western Regions himself.

The saddle is lined with sable fur, and the gilded stirrups are engraved with lotus patterns. The golden bells on the horse's head jingle as it gallops, which is crisp and pleasant.

"Is that Princess Jiaci?"

"The Prince of Changping truly dotes on his daughter. Does the horse that Princess Jiaci rides look like the Longxiongbai horse that His Majesty gifted her earlier? The Prince of Changping actually gave it to Princess Jiaci."

"The other person is...?"

"He looks like the one who divorced Dingbei Hou a few days ago—"

The Marquis of Dingbei, as everyone was talking about, was sitting under the curtain on the high platform. He immediately saw Fu Huaiying on horseback, holding the reins in one hand and a baseball bat in the other.

She was dressed in a neat Hu costume, with her long hair tied into a man's bun with a ribbon and a wooden hairpin.

The jade belt around her waist makes her waist look extremely slender, as slender as a willow branch.

It is cloudy today, and the scorching sun is hidden under the thick clouds. Only a few rays of golden light shine through the clouds onto the earth and onto Fu Huaiying's fair face.

The corners of her mouth turned up in a smile.

That smile was as bright as the sun in the green fields among the mountains, completely different from her smile in the Marquis' Mansion.

However, what really surprised Zhao Su was her riding action.

That is the skill that only people who ride horses frequently can have, and they are very skilled in controlling the horses.

Zhao Su didn't know that Fu Huaiying could ride a horse.

I didn't even know she could play polo.

The old lady of the Marquisate in the stands also frowned. Zhao Ying, sitting next to her, said disdainfully, "I've never heard she can play polo. Don't try to show off and end up making a fool of yourself."

The old lady warned her in a low voice: "Be careful with your words!"

"This isn't the Marquis' Mansion. If someone with ulterior motives overhears this and spreads it to the Princess, I'll see how you'll end up."

"Watch your mouth today! Don't stir up trouble and make others laugh at the Marquis' Mansion!"

Zhao Ying was not convinced, but he could only curl his lips.

...

On the field, Fu Huaiying held the bat and the reins and observed the opponent's position behind the princess.

The golf course is located within the royal hunting grounds, covering a large area with green grass.

It is surrounded by vermilion lacquered railings, with high pavilions and colorful satins flying on the edge.

The ground is paved with a mixture of fine sand and spices. When horses' hooves pass by, no dust is raised, but there is a faint scent of sandalwood.

There are eight golden drums standing on the sidelines. Every time a goal is scored, the golden drums will be struck. The sound of the drums is deafening and resounds through the sky.

Just now, Fu Huaiying discovered on the high platform that the beating of the golden drum would affect the horses. If the rider was not skilled in riding and could not control the horse, an accident would definitely occur.

Fu Huaiying was about to say something to the princess when she heard her say loudly to her opponent, "You don't need status in the arena, just show your true ability."

"Whoever defeats me will be given a hectare of pearls from the East China Sea."

Fu Huaiying looked at his opponents. They were all young girls, led by the daughter of a military commander of this dynasty. She liked to wield spears and sticks, and was very good at riding and shooting.

When they heard about the Pearl of the East China Sea, their eyes were filled with a burning desire to fight.

"Your Highness, please don't look down on us."

With the sound of a gong, the competition began.

The musicians on the sidelines played the "Breaking Formation Music" with powerful drum beats, adding a bit of thrill to the game.

The eldest princess held an ivory and gold stick in her hand, and rode her horse as fast as the wind. Her clothes fluttered like clouds, and with a wave of her stick, the vermilion polo ball streaked across the half-field like a meteor, heading straight for the opponent's goal.

The daughter of the opposing general was no less capable. She quickly intercepted the ball and threw it in the opposite direction at a tricky angle.

That direction happened to be Fu Huaiying's direction.

She had also heard of Fu Huaiying's identity and thought that she was just recently favored by the eldest princess and was temporarily brought in to make up the numbers.

Unexpectedly, Fu Huaiying swung the club and the ball was unstoppable, entering the opposite goal in the blink of an eye.

"when--"

"The red team wins!"

No one reacted for a moment.

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and looked at Fu Huaiying: "Madam Fu is really agile and powerful."

Fu Huaiying smiled and said, "I practiced my aim after receiving the invitation from the Princess."

The spectators on the platform who witnessed this scene were also very surprised and excited.

“What a great shot!”

"Who is that?"

"Haven't you heard about what's going on in the capital recently? That's the concubine daughter of the Minister of War and the second wife of the Marquis of Dingbei. She divorced the Marquis of Dingbei some time ago!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, the people from Dingbei Marquis' Mansion are still over there!"

The gong struck: "Continue!"

It was the opponent's turn to serve. The general's daughter knew that Fu Huaiying was no pushover, so she served the ball towards the opposite goal in the direction of Princess Jiaci.

Princess Jiaci was also a polo enthusiast. She quickly intercepted the ball and hit it to the opposite side.

The young girls were no less impressive, quickly intercepting the ball and dribbling it to the other side.

The eldest princess clamped her legs against the horse's belly, ran towards the ball, and stretched out her arms to intercept with the stick.

"Madam Fu, please continue—"

The ball flew towards Fu Huaiying. The general's daughter frowned and quickly turned around to intercept Fu Huaiying's shot. This scene made everyone in the audience hold their breath.

Zhao Su fixed his eyes on the light-colored figure.

Fu Huaiying turned the club and passed the ball back to the eldest princess, catching her off guard.

Zhao Hui also reacted very quickly. He raised his club and hit the ball. The ball broke through the defense line at an extremely fast speed and headed straight for the opponent's goal.

"when--"

"The red team wins!"

"nice shot!"

The whole audience cheered, what a beautiful shot.

Zhao Hui laughed out loud, her cheeks flushed due to the intense exercise. She looked at Fu Huaiying, and the smile in her eyes became even brighter.

The cooperation between him and Fu Huaiying just now was so tacit that even she was a little surprised.

"Mrs. Fu really makes me look at her differently."

Fu Huaiying showed her polo skills with the first goal, and the second goal also made everyone see her brainpower in the game.

Interesting Mrs. Fu.

The opponents looked at each other in confusion.

As long as one team scores five goals in a row, they will be considered the winner even if the time is not up.

"The Princess and the others are already two points ahead of us. We can't let them win again. We must not let the ball fall into the hands of that Madam Fu later."

"We need someone to keep an eye on her!"
