Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 184 I Can Fight For Another Two Hours

Polo Polo, playing on horseback.

Jia Cong is quite proficient in horseback riding, but he really doesn't understand riding a horse to play basketball.

In order not to embarrass himself in front of Sister Lin, he dragged the Fourth Prince Liu Hong to a corner after being hit by the ruler the next day, and asked in a low voice, "Fourth Brother, can you play polo?"

The corners of Liu Hong's mouth raised slightly, and he said modestly, "I understand a little, I understand a little!"

"Slightly understand? Then it seems that the fourth brother is extremely proficient."

After getting in touch these days, Jia Cong finally figured out the temperament of this royal nobleman, and he cupped his hands and said: "I hope that the fourth brother will teach me the art of polo!"

"It's easy to say, but..."

Liu Hong quickly helped the little fat man up, and asked suspiciously: "Why do you think of playing polo? How can playing polo be as interesting as hunting?"

Jia Cong had no choice but to give a general account of how the eldest princess Deqing invited people in Beijing to go to the polo club.

Liu Hong's eyes lit up when he heard that all the noble ladies in Beijing were going to the meeting.

It's not that he's a womanizer, it's that he wants to take a look at his future princess.

Normally, he can't leave the palace easily, but this polo meeting is a good opportunity.When the grandson accompanied the grandmother out of the palace to attend the aunt's birthday banquet, and stopped by to see the polo club, it was normal to bump into his future wife by accident, right?

Well, no problem!
"Fourth brother? Fourth brother? What are you thinking? Why is your face so red?"

cough cough...

Liu Hong coughed twice, changed the subject and said, "Well, then let's go to the school grounds, and I'll teach you how to play polo."

The school yard in the palace is on the east side of the three main halls, and there was originally a small garden in the large open space on the south side of the Jianting Pavilion.

During the Zhaowu period, the Emperor Taishang, who was admiring martial arts, ordered that the flowers and plants be wiped out, and a large-scale school yard was built. He used to race horses and shoot arrows on weekdays, and occasionally enjoyed military parades.

Habayashiro sent several good horses, and Liu Hong led Jia Cong to ride a few laps on the school grounds. After carefully observing Jia Cong's riding, he began to teach polo.

After the Xiaochao meeting, His Majesty the Emperor had just finished arguing with the six members of the cabinet, and was planning to go to the Longshou Palace to ask some questions that he couldn't understand. Just after passing the Jingyun Gate, he heard a lot of people in the school yard not far away. cheer.

He took Xia Shouzhong and several other palace officials across the Jianting Pavilion, and saw his son leading Jia Cong, galloping with two Habayashiro in the school grounds, waving the polo club in his hand from time to time, and a small polo ball flew up fall……

There was another burst of cheers, and the onlookers, more than a dozen imperial guards and palace people, cheered for the fourth prince who scored a goal. Liu Hong raised his cue high, walked around the field confidently, and cheered with everyone.

Looking at such a sunny and confident son, Liu Heng slightly raised the corners of his mouth and sighed, "It's nice to be young!"

"The emperor was like this in the past. Even the old prince and Rong Enbo teamed up and lost to you and the thirteenth master."

Xia Shouzhong flattered without any trace: "Young master's polo skills were taught by the emperor himself."

Liu Heng looked down at the somewhat protruding belly, patted it with a smile and said, "I haven't moved much in the past few years, I'm afraid it's very unfamiliar..."

"Father, are you here to play polo?"

In the bare school grounds, Yujia is extremely conspicuous.

Jia Cong reminded the excited Liu Hong, the two looked at each other and smiled, and got off their horses to meet him.Liu Hongyang held up the polo club in Yang's hand and invited the emperor, who obviously wanted to move.

Sure enough, seeing his son's heroic appearance, Liu Heng's heart was already itchy.Ever since, the emperor took a Habayashiro and started a game with the team formed by Liu Hong and Jia Cong.

Not to mention, His Majesty's level is really high, it's because he was a little unfamiliar with holding the pole for a long time, and after a short familiarity, he beat the unconvinced Liu Hong and the rookie Jia Cong from Xinshou Village.

A hearty polo match lasted for more than half an hour.Jia Cong felt the pain from the friction between his crotch, and Liu Hong also felt his hands and feet were going weak. Both of them slumped on the chair and refused to get up.

His Majesty the Emperor, who had beaten the younger generation, seemed to feel the refreshing feeling of abuse. He looked down at Liu Hong and Jia Cong, who were slumped on the chairs and had no strength, and said with contempt: "You guys are really powerless. Look at me... ..."

Liu Heng danced the polo club in his hand, and said contemptuously: "I can play for another two hours!"

Jia Cong was so tired that he couldn't even open his eyes, he muttered: "The emperor is mighty, long live the emperor, the emperor is invincible!"

Boom!
Liu Heng knocked the little fat man on the head angrily, and told Xia Shouzhong, "Go get someone to prepare a hot water medicinal bath, and throw these two boys in..."

The news in the palace spread no slower than the teahouses and restaurants in the capital. When Jia Cong and Liu Hong were soaking in the bathtub, the news spread throughout the harem.

There have been several ironic versions of Jia Cong's identity, such as the illegitimate son raised by His Majesty the Emperor at Jia She's knee, the grandson raised by the sage at the mansion of his old friend Jia Daishan...

Anyway, there are all kinds of weird rumors, without exception, they all talk about the degree of favor of the little fat man in the palace.

"Your Majesty, the third master's favor in the palace is almost surpassing that of several emperors and grandchildren."

Jia Yuanchun, who was dressed in a light-colored palace attire, had a smile on his face after hearing the news from Baoqin.

She asked the palace servants to go to the small kitchen to pack a few plates of the snacks just made in the morning, and said to Baoqin: "You send these snacks to the front and hand them over to Eunuch Xia. Your Majesty didn't eat a few bites before going up to court. After playing polo for so long, I'm probably hungry. It's still a while before lunch, so fill your stomach first."

Baoqin narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is still thoughtful, and I will send it over here."

As she spoke, she took the two young eunuchs and walked towards the Qianqing Palace with a big food box.

Yuan Chun stared at the blooming flowers outside the window with a smile on his lips.

The Jia family became more and more prosperous, Brother Cong was favored by two generations of emperors, and his position in the palace became more and more stable.

The number of times the emperor stayed in Fengzao Palace these days was even more than the number of times the other concubines were favored.Although it is too enviable, in this struggle in the harem, if you do not advance, you will retreat.

Not to be envied by others is a mediocrity, as long as Jia's family is prosperous, she, the head of the four concubines, will not be disliked.

Yuan Chun touched his flat abdomen and sighed slightly.Then he got up and ordered: "Go and pack another box of snacks, and follow me to the Compassionate Peace Palace."

The wind in the palace never stops. When Yuanchun's soft sedan passed by Chuxiu Palace, he met Zhou Guiren who had just returned from the Compassionate Ning Palace.

A trace of jealousy and unwillingness flashed in Zhou Guiren's eyes, he bowed his knees and performed a Wanfu salute, and several palace people behind him also bowed down one after another.

"My concubine pays her respects to Concubine Xian!"

"May the virtuous concubine be blessed with golden safety!"

Although Yuan Chun hated the Zhou family extremely, she had already learned to hide her emotions after staying in the palace for so many years.

She smiled and raised her hand to help her: "Sister, you don't need to be polite, get up quickly."

Zhou Guiren lowered his head, suppressing his jealousy and unwillingness in his heart, and his face was full of respect.

After a few perfunctory words with Yuan Chun, he watched Yuan Chun's soft sedan leave.

Zhou Guiren looked at the soft sedan chair going away, and suddenly asked the maid next to him in a low voice, "Cuiping, when do you think I can get on the soft sedan chair?"

Cuiping looked around vigilantly, and whispered back: "Young master, don't worry, what about Fengzao Palace when you give birth to the prince smoothly? Even the one from Yikun Palace has to give empress face..."

……

Xu is that His Majesty the Emperor has tasted the addiction to abuse food. Since he hanged and beat the two juniors that day, he called his two sons and Jia Cong every now and then. The four formed teams and "fighted" on the school grounds.

Tired is a bit tired, but Jia Cong's game skills are getting better and better.The professor is more comfortable with the girls in the mansion.

As soon as June [-]th, Daiyu, Tanchun, and Xiangyun were already able to trot and swing golf balls, but Yingchun was obviously not good at such strenuous sports and could only walk around slowly on horseback.

As for Xichun, lying on the bamboo couch under the shade of a tree, she only eats and sleeps, even if the school grounds are noisy, she can still meet Duke Zhou in her dreams.

On the evening of June [-], it rained heavily.

The scorching season finally had a bit of coolness. Jia Cong came back from the palace and had just changed into dry clothes when he saw his second brother Jia Lian looking for him.

The two brothers were sitting outside the corridor, and Jia Lian handed over a letter that had been opened: "Look first..."

Jia Cong took out the letter paper and looked at it suspiciously.

This letter was sent by Xue Pan from Yongping Mansion. During these days, he has been dealing with the affairs of the Gyeonggi shops with the housekeeper at home.When I arrived at Shanhaiguan, I met my uncle Wang Ziteng who was patrolling the Nine Sides.

After Jia Cong finished reading the letter full of complaints and worries, he sighed and asked, "What do you think, brother?"

"At the end of last year, because of the Japanese pirates invading Gyeonggi, the palace suspended the small election. Originally, my father had already greeted the Ministry of Rites and crossed out Cousin Xue's name, but Wang Ziteng actually called this autumn prince's election again. Concubine's idea, I really didn't think of it."

It turns out that after Wang Ziteng met his nephew Xue Pan in Shanhaiguan, he proposed to send Baochai to the palace to be elected as the prince and concubine.

Of course, being a concubine is impossible.However, the fourth prince is almost the only candidate for the crown prince of the East Palace. Apart from the main concubine, there are also two side concubines.Even if you can't be a side concubine, you can choose a servant with little status.

However, Xue Pan was obviously reluctant to send Baochai into the palace.But he couldn't resist his uncle Wang Ziteng's pressure at all, so he had to adopt the tactic of procrastinating and sending the letter back to Beijing quickly.

Instead of telling his mother, Mrs. Xue and Baochai, he asked Jia Amnesty.

"Our Uncle Wang really has become a habit of selling his niece, is he going to try to trick the third sister next? Oh, what a disgrace!"

Jia Cong looked at the second elder brother whose skin was much rougher, and asked suspiciously: "Daddy should have already made up his mind, did he say how to do it?"

Jia Lian rubbed the little fat man's head with his hand, and winked at him: "Didn't you read the sentence at the end of the letter? Turn it over, there's another paragraph."

Ok?
Jia Cong turned the letter over, only to find that there was another passage: Rather than being tricked by my uncle one after another, it is better to marry my younger sister to Brother Cong...

cough cough cough...

Jia Cong, who was choking on the saliva, widened his eyes, and couldn't believe that Xue Pan would write such far-fetched words in the letter.

"Are you kidding? Sister Bao is more than four years older than me..."

Jia Cong blushed and said, "Besides, I'm already engaged to Sister Lin, and it was a gift from the palace. How can I marry someone else?"
