Chapter 1213 A Pair of Red Jade Necklaces as a Lucky Draw
Before the people sent by Princess Qiyang could even get close to the edge of the field, they were stopped by Xie Shuze's followers.
Princess Qiyang was so anxious standing on the stands that she almost crushed the teacup in her hand.
"Your Highness, please rest assured, His Majesty will not hold a grudge against a child."
Princess Qiyang, upon hearing this, could say nothing more and helplessly waved to the people who were being stopped at the edge of the polo field.
Since His Majesty had spoken, she could only pretend not to know or see anything, and wait until His Majesty had finished having fun before speaking.
Liang Chongyue looked at the arrogant young man in front of her, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of what was happening at the edge of the polo field.
Liang Chongyue just smiled, said nothing, tightened the reins, and left Xie Shuze's side.
Such a prickly brat should be beaten into submission until he can't utter a single word.
Liang Chongyue adjusted his horse and walked to Fei He's side, giving him a look. Fei He immediately understood what His Majesty meant.
Liang Chongyue, abandoning his previous lazy demeanor, dribbled the polo ball towards His Majesty and charged straight at the goal.
Xie Shuze hurriedly rode after him, but was stopped by Fei He just as he was about to get close.
The club swung straight at his face, startling Xie Shuze so much that he could only tilt his head back to avoid the blow.
Fei He didn't give him the chance; for countless years, no one had dared to be so presumptuous in front of His Majesty.
Even if their identities are unknown, the Xie family should have been prepared for others to teach them a lesson for raising such a child.
After dodging the first attack, there will be a second one.
Enraged, Xie Shuze demanded, "Where did you learn these rules? How can you play polo like this?"
Fei He smiled coldly, calmly looking at him, and the next attack came as expected.
Upon hearing the sound, Liang Chongyue stopped the polo ball in front of the goal with excellent ball control. Then, Xie Shuze's teammates caught up, but she easily evaded them as well.
The polo ball was stuck in the goal, but it couldn't be driven in – something never seen before in this game.
Princess Qiyang saw this and silently looked away.
That Xie family brat really needs to be taught a lesson; he's been taking advantage of the Xie family's favor to act arrogantly and domineeringly all these years.
Her husband was from the Xie family, so she couldn't be too harsh on the child who had caused trouble.
Now that he's met His Majesty, it's only right that this child deserves a scolding.
As Xie Shuze's companion caught up, Liang Chongyue struck the polo ball back towards Xie Shuze.
The polo ball was hovering in the air when Xie Shuze, preoccupied with dodging Fei He's attacks, realized it was too late to dodge by the time he saw it coming.
It was too late to duck and press close to the horse's back to dodge the attack.
He could only watch as the polo ball hurtled towards him. When he raised his hand to block it, a polo stick was placed in front of him.
They hit the polo ball back.
Fei He didn't say a word the whole time; a single glance was enough to convey everything.
Xie Shuze watched the man warily as he punched the polo ball directly into the goal.
"You're so powerful, who exactly are you people?"
His Majesty wanted to conceal his identity and have some fun, so Fei He naturally couldn't reveal it at this time.
Fei He remained silent. The polo ball re-entered the field, and a new game began.
After witnessing how formidable these two were, Xie Shuze knew he couldn't possibly win.
He followed Fei He and asked, "Are you mute? Why don't you speak?"
As the two chased the polo ball, their voices were close to the edge of the field. Xie Shuze's voice was quite loud, and Princess Qiyang wished she could poison the child to make him mute.
Anyone who dares to say that Chief Fei of Qingyu Pavilion is mute, the last person who disrespected Chief Fei because of his status, apparently burned to death in his own home.
The coffins contained cenotaphs.
"The child is inexperienced and speaks without thinking. Your Highness, please try to persuade him."
Princess Qiyang didn't want to get involved, but she was related to the Xie family and couldn't just watch the child go down a dark path.
Li Yu'an poured Princess Qiyang a cup of fresh tea and said gently, "Your Highness, rest assured, His Majesty was just acting on a whim. The child is innocent and lively, and neither His Majesty nor Commander Fei will take it to heart."
Princess Qiyang's heart had been in turmoil all day; she saw His Majesty as if she were seeing the late Emperor.
Although Your Majesty is a woman, what you have accomplished is in no way inferior to that of the late Emperor.
They are even more outstanding in terms of political achievements.
It can be said that His Majesty is the child who most resembles the late emperor, and he is also the only son in the lineage to commit patricide.
"I hope so." Princess Qiyang clutched her chest and drank her tea, not wanting to watch the scene on the polo field but having no choice but to.
She was terrified that if she looked away for even a moment, Xie Shuze would cause her a terrible disaster.
The child was naive, and Liang Chongyue and Fei He's precise ball control gave him hope, only to plunge him into despair.
Seeing the polo ball arrive, Xie Shuze lowered his mallet and let him dribble the ball straight towards the goal.
Just as he was about to score, he struck the polo ball away.
Seeing Xie Shuze's angry and agitated state, Liang Chongyue simply said, "Be decisive when hitting the ball."
Then he rode off to chase after the polo match.
Originally, Liang Chongyue wanted to prevent him from scoring a single goal, but after several pointers, Xie Shuze has made progress.
After a feint, Liang Chongyue watched as he spurred his horse forward and, near the halfway point, swung his mallet to send the polo ball into the goal.
Then Xie Shuze turned to Liang Chongyue and smiled arrogantly, his eyes full of youthful arrogance.
Xie Shuze gradually found his rhythm, but the incense sticks by the polo field didn't let him have his way.
Before Xie Shuze could direct his teammates to grab the ball, the gong sounded again from the sidelines of the polo field.
"When the incense sticks burn out, the red team wins!"
Xie Shuze immediately frowned and turned to stare intently at the incense sticks in the incense burner beside the polo field.
He glanced at his scoreboard again.
He had never been so embarrassed in his life.
"Would you dare to play another round?" Xie Shuze raised his cue stick and faced Liang Chongyue directly.
Liang Chongyue had no interest in helping the child regain his self-esteem.
Liang Chongyue, seated on his horse, handed the golf clubs to Fei He, who had ridden up on horseback. Fei He, holding two golf clubs, gently pulled the reins, bringing his horse to a stop behind His Majesty.
"You only get one chance. If you don't seize it, even if you get another chance, you still won't succeed."
After saying that, Liang Chongyue rode away from the polo field with Fei He on horseback.
Although they didn't agree on the betting odds, the odds for each match were set before the start of the polo tournament.
"Red wins! The prize is a pair of red jade pendants."
Liang Chongyue knew from the lucky number that Princess Qiyang must have added it on her own after she learned of her arrival.
The tray containing the prize money was presented to Liang Chongyue. Looking at the exquisite and luxurious jade pendants inside, Liang Chongyue accepted them without any hesitation.
It felt almost identical to the one she usually carried. If she hadn't traveled here, this pair of jade pendants would probably have been one of the New Year's gifts that Princess Qiyang sent to the capital this year.
Liang Chongyue dismounted and walked towards the center of the stands.
Fei He took the club and horse away and settled them in.
