Chang Sui Ning and the other female family members looked over subconsciously and saw four chamberlains leading the way, and then a young woman in official robes walked into everyone's sight.

Mrs. Wang was a little surprised: "It's the Lord of Gu'an County who has arrived."

Her status as county head alone would not attract such attention from the Wang family and other officials. What really attracted people's attention to Mingluo was her status as a female historian, and she was a female historian who was highly trusted by saints.

When she appeared outside the palace with her servants, she probably came on behalf of the Holy Emperor.

Sure enough, this time is no exception.

After drinking wine with Qiao and paying homage to several important ministers, she said with a smile: "Ming Luo was ordered by the saint to come to watch the students perform the bow, and was ordered to bring this thing to add to the glory of the competition -

—”

As she spoke, she looked at the chambermaid beside her who was holding a long box.

Another chamberlain opened the long carved box and saw a bowing stick. The stick was several feet long, with a dragon wrapped around the stick, and its end was like a crescent moon.

"This bowing stick was made by the late emperor and the late prince. When he was young in the palace, the late prince often held this bowing stick with the late emperor." Mingluo said with a smile: "Today, the saint specially uses this to give all the students a gift.

Some prizes will be awarded to the winner of this final round."

The supervisors suddenly became noisy.

The significance of the gift given by the emperor is extraordinary, not to mention the staff used by the former Crown Prince!

The supervisors who are waiting for the competition in the Juju arena are all gearing up and their fighting spirit is getting higher and higher.

"Ning Ning, what does the bow staff used by the former Crown Prince look like?" Qiao Yumian asked Chang Sui Ning curiously.

Chang Suining had withdrawn his gaze: "It's nothing special."

And she didn't have much impression. She had many bow sticks, and they all looked similar.

Listening to the excited voices of the students, Qiao Yumian said "Ah": "I thought it must be extraordinarily different."

After thinking for a while, he understood: "Although the Juzhang itself is not much different, it is very different because its former owner was His Royal Highness... Everyone will want to compete for this prize."

of."

Chang Sui Ning showed a hint of disdain.

The previous owner was just an unlucky guy. Things belonging to an unlucky guy are bound to be bad luck, so I don't know what there is to argue about.

Mingluo has been guided to take a seat. Her position is not with the female relatives, but among the officials. Since she came with the instructions from the saint, she is at the top.

In the field, as a drumbeat sounded, the twenty-four supervisors participating this time all led their horses into the field.

Most of them have young faces. They are all wearing green-white narrow-sleeved robes and wearing black boots. They hold reins in their left hand and a bow stick in their right hand. They are all handsome and full of energy.

These twenty-four people are all selected from the internal competitions of each school one month in advance. There are six Imperial Colleges, and each school finally selects four people to form a team. These four people represent the glory of their respective schools.

They lined up in six teams at this time, and the ribbons tied around their waists were also divided into six colors.

"Ning Ning, have you seen brother?" Qiao Yumian tugged on Chang Sui Ning's sleeve.

Chang Suining looked over and saw Qiao Yubai, who was wearing a blue ribbon around his waist. He was standing at the head of the team, which was the vanguard position.

"I see, brother Yu Bai is in the fifth column. He should be the last to play in the preliminary round, it will be an hour later."

When two polo teams compete, six teams will play against each other three times. The competition format is five quarters per game, with each quarter lasting half an hour. Therefore, the winner will be determined at the end of the game for both teams, plus a break in each quarter.

It takes about half an hour.

There are four teams in front of Qiao Yubai, and they need to play two games, which is one hour.

Hearing that she was so familiar with the rules, Wang smiled and asked, "Ning Ning also likes to watch polo now?"

In the past, Ning Ning didn't like these things.

Chang Suining nodded: "I've seen a few shows."

Wang said: "If Ning Ning likes it, she can learn it in the future."

"Yes, I'll let my brother teach Ning Ning." Qiao Yumian said with a bright smile in her eyes: "Brother's kickball is very good. Ning Ning hasn't seen it yet, right?"

Chang Suining smiled and said "Hmm": "You will be able to see Brother Yubai's skills later."

"When it comes to juju, I'm quite knowledgeable -" a smiling woman's voice suddenly sounded.

Chang Suining looked over and saw Mrs. Duan walking over with a smile, followed by a flowery little girl, it was Wei Miaoqing.

Just as Chang Sui Ning was about to stand up, Mr. Duan gently pressed his shoulder: "No need to be polite, just sit down and talk."

While talking, Mrs. Duan smiled and nodded to each other, then sat down next to Chang Suining.

Chang Suining then asked: "Madam, are you also here to watch the shooting match?"

"Well, you came here with my boy." Duan smiled and raised his chin towards the opposite side.

Chang Sui Ning looked over and saw that Wei Shuyi had just sat down under the pergola. He was not wearing official uniform today, but was wearing a moon-green fine silk gown embroidered with bamboo patterns. After sitting down, he looked up as if he was investigating something.

, as they looked at each other, a smile gradually appeared on their brows and eyes, like the first unfolding of a green mountain scroll.

He smiled and nodded to Chang Suining.

Chang Sui Ning also nodded with him.

Wei Miaoqing, who sat down next to Duan, felt angry when she saw that her brother quickly looked away and started talking quietly with his colleagues beside him - his brother didn't even look at her just now!

And mother——

When Wei Miaoqing saw Duan holding Chang Sui Ning's hand, she couldn't help but frown in confusion - on such a hot day, wouldn't her mother find her hands sweaty?

Ever since they met at the flower party at Kasuga's house, my mother had been mentioning the Chang family's wife every now and then for some reason, and she would invite people to the house to talk to her from time to time, as if she was possessed by a demon!

She felt depressed more than once and repeatedly asked Fang in charge - she didn't know what her mother liked about the Chang family's wife.

Manager Fang always hesitated to speak and only tried to persuade her to calm down.

It wasn't until the last time that he finally answered her question, but he still asked in a complicated tone - Girl, isn't the answer obvious?

At that moment, she was strangely silent for a moment, feeling that it was unfair - what kind of truth was this?

Manager Fang still asked back - but didn't you say before that Mrs. Chang's appearance is unreasonable?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this moment, Wei Miaoqing couldn't help but look at the answer right in front of her - the face that Manager Fang said "It's reasonable for people to be evil".

Gritting his teeth secretly.

In her sight, the owner of that face smiled at her.

Wei Miaoqing's clenched molars loosened uncontrollably, and most of the "hostility" that could not be called solid was immediately dissipated. A slightly haughty nod was her last insistence.

The drum music starts, and the ball-playing competition begins.

The two teams of students, with red and dark green ribbons tied around their waists respectively, got on horseback and galloped on the field with bow sticks in hand.

The hollowed-out colorful ball was knocked away by the student's stick and passed into the colorful door with the sound of intensive drum beats.

"In!"

Every time a goal is scored, the referee will place a colorful flag with the same color as the ribbon on the waist of the scoring team.

At the end of each quarter, the side with more flags wins the round.

After five quarters, the final winner will be determined based on the number of wins.

"After the first round, the red side Guangwen Hall wins!"

As soon as the sound fell, in addition to the four students wearing red belts in the field, the supervisors from the Cantonese Hall who were watching also cheered.

They won three of the five quarters this time, and in the last quarter there was only one flag difference between the two sides. The difference between the two sides was only two goals, which was a narrow victory.

A narrow victory is also a victory, and it makes people more excited because it is hard-won.

The next two teams were about to take the field, and the students from the winning red team temporarily left the field to rest.

"Wen Zheng, your last shot was a miracle. You should be rewarded by Joe with two fishes!"

A classmate from the same team patted the young man named Wen Zheng on the shoulder: "You have to play well in the next game too!"

Wen Zheng nodded, then raised his hand to wipe the sweat to hide the uneasiness in his eyes.

"When I win the bow stick from His Highness the late Crown Prince, no one is allowed to snatch it away. It will be kept in our academy——"

"We have drawn the first column and are the first to play. If we want to win the Ju Zhan, we have to play at least two games. This is where we are, you can't think too far ahead!"

"We have Wen Zheng here! Of course I dare to think about it!"

The students wiped their sweat, laughed and walked away.

As the second game began, the crowd of spectators became increasingly crowded.

Although the sun was shining brightly in the sky, the enthusiasm for the competition was ignited even more intensely.

The students were sweating while riding horses and swinging clubs, and the eyes of the spectators were busy and nervous as they followed them all the time.

There were bookboys walking among the crowd, bringing herbal tea to the spectators to relieve the heat. After one sip, they felt refreshed and refreshed.

In the pavilion where a group of officials were, someone arrived late.

Yao Yi, who was taking a break today, wore regular clothes and chose an inconspicuous place to sit down.

The female relatives of the Yao family also came. Yao Xia could always find Chang Sui Ning in the crowd, but this time she couldn't squeeze in to Chang Sui Ning's side as she wished. Firstly, there was no room next to Chang Sui Ning. Secondly, when Yao Xia came
