Chapter 642: Another Fall 2 (2/2)

Of course, Chu Lian didn’t notice this. She just did what she felt was right. She didn’t want to act as a coward just to survive.

She didn’t know that her nonchalant gesture had touched Royal Princess Duanjia and Princess Wei’s hearts.

Just like that, the lineup of both teams was already set.

The two teams entered their respective tents to prepare. They had to remove all of the hairpins in their hair along with the other accessories they were wearing, and they also had to choose a polo mallet and a horse suitable for them.

During the preparations, Royal Princess Duanjia made use of every second to explain the rules of polo to Chu Lian.

Chu Lian kept nodding as she listened. She had a great memory, and it wasn’t like she knew nothing at all about polo. After all, polo was still played in modern times; the rules here were simply a little different.

She was now good enough at riding, but she wasn’t expecting much from herself. She just had to make sure not to burden the team and keep herself safe, and everything else would be left to Royal Princess Duanjia.

Both Feudal Princess Minghui and Royal Princess Xu were adept at playing polo, while Royal Princess Duanjia was an amazing player. They had a good shot at winning.

Although there was quite a lot of time for them to prepare, it still passed very quickly for Chu Lian, who was still trying her best to commit the details of the game to memory.

Royal Princess Duanjia personally chose a horse and polo mallet for Chu Lian.

Very soon, the two teams entered the polo field, while Imperial Concubine Wei led the other ladies to a viewing platform.

All the members of Royal Princess Duanjia’s team had a scarlet-red cloth on their arms, while Feudal Princess Anmin’s side had tied a blue cloth on theirs.

The hunting grounds had its own referee. With a loud blow of the whistle, the competition officially began.

The polo ball was thrown up into the air. Royal Princess Duanjia twitched her reins, and her valiant white horse shot forward. When it arrived at the polo ball, it raised its hooves up high with a neigh. Royal Princess Duanjia lifted her hands up and stepped hard on the stirrups; this put her in a standing position with her butt floating above the saddle. Her arm was at a slight angle, and with a slight swing, she snatched the polo ball!

With this swing, the polo ball flew in Royal Princess Xu’s direction.

The ball was already gone by the time Feudal Princess Anmin arrived. Since she had missed the chance to possess the ball, she was now at a disadvantage.

Feudal Princess Anmin angrily bit her bottom lip and glared at Royal Princess Duanjia.

Royal Princess Duanjia sat back down on the saddle with her chin slightly raised, wearing a subtle smile as she glanced at Feudal Princess Anmin with disdain.

Chu Lian guarded the left side of the field, watching as Royal Princess Duanjia lead Feudal Princess Xirou in a charge towards the opponent’s side of the field.

The ladies raised their tender voices, constantly shouting out to each other, and the competition was abnormally fierce.
