Chapter 642: Another Fall 2 (1/2)

Royal Princess Duanjia looked around, and in the end, she dragged three young ladies into this.

One of them was Royal Prince Han’s wife, Royal Princess Xu, who had come from a military family. She had already given birth to a daughter, and happened to be nineteen this year, barely making it past the requirements. In comparison, the other side’s team was completely made up of royalty that had yet to marry, and the oldest was merely fifteen.

Next, Royal Princess Duanjia requested for Prince Luoyang’s second daughter, Feudal Princess Minghui, and Prince Qing’s granddaughter, Feudal Princess Xirou.

With that, there were now four people on the team including Duanjia.

However, there seemed to be no way for her to find her final team member.

There were still several ladies of suitable ages standing near Feudal Princess Anmin’s corner, but their statuses were too low, and they didn’t even possess any titles.

Right as Royal Princess Duanjia was starting to feel anxious, Royal Princess Nanzhang laughed out loud. “There’s no difficulty in this at all; isn’t Honoured Lady Jinyi a prime candidate? Duanjia, I see that you’re pretty close to Jinyi, so why is it that you somehow forgot about her at this time? Could it be that the two of you have fallen out with each other?”

Royal Princess Nanzhang truly had the gift of the gab. Now Chu Lian had no choice but to go. If she insisted on not participating, then there would probably be rumours of a falling out between her and Royal Princess Duanjia once the polo match ended.

Royal Princess Duanjia was angered by Royal Princess Nanzhang’s words. Her brows were tightly knit together, and she was about to argue with Nanzhang.

Chu Lian quickly tugged on her sleeves, and subtly shook her head at her. She then turned towards Royal Princess Nanzhang and Feudal Princess Anmin with a smile and said, “Since that’s the case, I’ll join in to fill the empty seat. However, I’ve never played polo, so please be gentle with me.”

“Our game is just for some entertainment; you’ll be fine as long as you can ride a horse, Honoured Lady Jinyi. The outcome doesn’t matter at all.” Feudal Princess Anmin’s smile was incredibly gentle.

Royal Princess Duanjia hadn’t thought that Chu Lian would really offer herself up and started getting a little antsy.

“Chu Liu, you fool! Can’t you tell that they were just trying to make you jump into a trap?!”

A furrow formed between Princess Wei’s brows. She was a wise person, and could obviously tell that Feudal Princess Anmin and the others were doing this on purpose.

However, just what were they trying to achieve?

“It’ll be fine, I’ll just be careful,” Chu Lian softly consoled Royal Princess Duanjia.

Royal Princess Duanjia pursed her lips, determination and vigor shining in her eyes.

She understood that the reason Chu Lian had agreed despite knowing it was a trap was all for her sake. As they were close sisters, Chu Lian didn’t want others to be making wild assumptions about their relationship and she didn’t want Duanjia’s honour to be sullied.

Since her childhood, Duanjia had never had a sister figure in her life. Whenever she attended banquets with her mother, she would witness girls from other families getting bullied, but there was always an older sister who would stand up for their little sisters.

Right now, Royal Princess Duanjia felt that Chu Lian was like her older sister.

This actually gave her a mysterious warmth inside.
