Chapter 293
"How about the third brother? I haven't played polo for a long time, so don't be unfamiliar."

The eldest prince Li Junye clasped the leather wristband on his wrist, and raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him with a hint of arrogance in his sword eyebrows that slanted into his temples.

Li Yunlan pursed his lips and smiled lightly, opened his arms and let a little servant put on silver armor for him, and put on a short blue skirt.

"Brother was joking, no matter how unfamiliar you are, it won't be a problem to play one or two games."

"That's fine, I won't say much. It's rare for us brothers to have a match today, and all the civil and military officials in the court will be the referees. Third brother, don't let everyone down."

Li Junye patted him on the shoulder, gave him a narrow smile, raised his chin, and signaled him to look the other way.

Li Yunlan followed his gaze, and saw behind the fence of the high platform over there, a group of young ladies were waving handkerchiefs vigorously at him, as if cheering him on, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"I will live up to my brother's expectations."

Li Junye didn't say anything else, and gave him a meaningful look, then turned around and went to the stable to pick up horses.

The servant tidied up Li Yunlan's clothes, and picked up the wristband on the side to put it on for him, but he walked right past him.

"I'll do it myself!"

Li Yunlan took the pair of cowhide wristbands and fastened them on his wrists, and then ordered the servants.

"Go and bring my Liuguang over!"

The little servant hesitated for a moment, but went anyway.

Liu Guang is one of the third prince's imperial horses. He has been kept at the imperial horse camp since he accidentally injured a front hoof in a horse race two years ago at the request of the foreign envoy.

Although he has been serving him well all these years, after all, he has injured his bones, and his speed is no better than other horses.

The reason why Li Yunlan named that horse was not because of how strong and brave it was, but because the horse had followed him since childhood, was very close to him, and could perfectly cooperate with him.

In this competition, the eldest prince came prepared. He was injured and had to guard against it.

The four princes were divided into two teams, the red team was headed by the eldest prince, and the blue team was headed by the third prince.

When the teams on both sides were ready, the people in the stands couldn't help but all stood up.

With a piercing gong, the main forwards of both sides began to compete for the ball placed on the middle line.

Princess Danyang cheered, screaming and jumping and clapping her hands.

"Qianzi, guess who can advance to the first ball?"

Wei Qianzi pinched her chin and carefully observed the layout of the two sides in the field, and quickly came to a conclusion.

"This first ball must be played by the First Prince. Look at his appearance that he is bound to win..." Before she finished speaking, Princess Danyang quickly ran to the other side, "Hey! What are you doing?"

"I'm going to place a bet with Eunuch Liu, and he started a bet over there!"

Two black lines instantly slid down Wei Qianzi's forehead.

Eunuch Liu, is that old man named Liu Qingqing next to the emperor, right?

How dare he openly open a bet on such an occasion?Aren't you afraid of offending the four princes present?
Princess Danyang came back soon, holding several palm-sized pieces of paper in her hand, on which were written the bettors and the amount of bets, and the papers were stamped with a big red stamp. Temporarily prepared.

Wei Qianzi curiously took a look at it, and asked the most crucial question.

"Where did you get the money to bet?"

Princess Danyang raised her eyebrows proudly, "I'm Eunuch Liu's big client, he pays me for free every time, and I can just return it to him after I win the money, no cash!"

Wei Qianzi was a little suspicious, "Then why did you lose?"

Princess Danyang chuckled, "If he loses, he won't bother me asking for money."

"Why?" Wei Qianzi couldn't help being even more surprised.

"Because once I lose, everyone who bet with me will also lose. Then Eunuch Liu will make money. If he makes money, of course he won't bother me for money."

"Oh..." Wei Qianzi narrowed her eyes meaningfully, "I want you to be my trustee!"

"Trust? What is trust?" Princess Danyang asked a little strangely.

"Tuo is... oh, I won't tell you, let's watch the game!"
