Do You Know?: Rule the World

Qiu Hun followed Qi Heng like a shadow, always keeping a distance of half a horse's length from him.

He deliberately slowed down his horse, forcing Qi Heng to frequently pull the reins, repeatedly blocking his cooperation with Zhao Han in passing the ball.

Rulan stood beside Hualan, stamping her feet in anger. She pouted and said angrily, "This young master of the Qiu family is such a scoundrel. He's not as skilled as others, so he resorts to such despicable tactics!"

"Really annoying!"

Hua Lan frowned slightly. Although she was worried about Zhao Han, she still maintained a dignified and gentle expression.

She reached out and gently tapped Rulan's head, saying softly, "Be quiet, this is not like home."

"Hmph!" Rulan's eyes widened.

Zhao Cexiao had been holding the vermilion polo ball tightly against his horse's hoof, heading straight for the goal like a whirlwind, and the distance was almost right.

Zhao Cexiao turned his head to look at Zhao Han, with a gleam of determination in his eyes.

He swung the club vigorously, and the polo ball flew high.

On the viewing platform, everyone took a deep breath and stared at the polo.

"It seems that Prince Zhao is still slightly better!"

"After all, Prince Zhao has only been defeated by Gu Erlang."

"What a pity! I originally thought that Lord Zhao would win today."

"..."

Several young men and ladies were discussing this, with a hint of regret in their tone.

Zhao Han looked up at the polo ball spinning in the air, then tightened the reins. The horse beneath him neighed loudly and raised its hooves high.

He took advantage of the momentum to jump, raised his right arm with the bat and swung it violently.

"boom!"

A crisp sound shook the entire stadium, and the polo ball that was originally flying towards the goal was intercepted by him.

Inside the brocade tent, Zhang Guifen took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Han in amazement.

"Amazing! Amazing! No wonder Daddy said this person is a master of both civil and military skills, truly extraordinary!"

"Mother, look!" Zhang Guifen couldn't help shaking the Duke of England's arm while speaking.

The Duchess of England's teacup trembled slightly as she shook it. She smiled faintly and said, "It's amazing! You have some of the grace and elegance your father had on horseback!"

While Zhao Cexiao was stunned, Zhao Han had already rushed several feet away with the polo ball.

"Prince!" Qiu Hun shouted, and Zhao Cexiao suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly rode his horse to chase after him.

But Zhao Han reined in his horse and turned around, raising his stick high. Just before the incense burned out, the polo ball shot straight into the goal with a sound of breaking through the air.

"Okay!" Mrs. Wu stood up again excitedly, her heart beating fast.

The referee on the sidelines glanced at the extinguished incense sticks, struck the gongs and drums, and announced loudly: "The incense sticks have burned out, the red team has seven chips, the red team wins!"

"Great, great!"

"We won!" Sheng Changsong cheered when he heard this.

Hua Lan let out a breath, and her brows relaxed immediately.

Rulan was also cheering. Minglan and Yanran smiled at each other, with two shallow dimples on their cheeks.

Molan gently waved her round fan, pursed her lips and said, "Look at my silly brother, he's so happy."

Zhao Cexiao's face was gloomy, and he smashed the baseball stick in his hand hard on the ground, splashing a cloud of grass.

After everyone got off their horses, Madam Wu strode over and looked at Zhao Han with admiration.

"In the past, in Bianjing, the first place to play polo was played by Gu Erlang, but now it has become you, Zhao Dalang!"

"When that bastard Gu Erlang comes back from his studies, I'm going to host another polo match. It'll be really lively!"

"When the time comes, you'll have to help us put a damper on his prestige!"

Zhao Han laughed out loud and said, "Okay, I've wanted to compete with Zhong Huai for a long time."

"It's a deal!" Mrs. Wu said with a hearty smile.

"I'll come too!" Sheng Changfeng stretched his head and interjected.

Chapter 84 Shulan: I do

Inside the brocade tent, Zhao Han, Qi Heng and others had taken off their belts and returned here to rest.

On the polo field, a new round of competition has begun. Several young men and ladies are riding their horses, and the sound of horse hooves is endless.

Qi Heng put down his teacup and said with a smile, "Brother Chengyuan's interception just now was truly exquisite."

"If Second Uncle Gu saw this, he would definitely be extremely jealous!"

These three people are now discussing their own issues.

Qi Heng calls Gu Tingye his second uncle, and calls Zhao Han his brother. Zhao Han and Gu Tingye also call each other brothers.

Zhao Han picked up the handkerchief Hua Lan had prepared for him, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile, "When Zhong Huai comes back, I'm afraid his reputation as the best polo player in Bianjing will no longer exist!"

When Qi Heng heard this, he laughed out loud.

"Brother Chengyuan, don't be too proud. Uncle Gu is an excellent polo player. He can even hit the ball into the goal accurately with his left hand!"

Zhao Han waved his hand and said, "It's just a trifle. Then wait and see how I can destroy his prestige!"

Princess Jiacheng held a round fan in her hand, covering half of her pretty face. Her eyes moved and fell on Zhao Han.

After a moment, she told the maid beside her, "Send them a pot of good tea."

Upon hearing this, the maid's eyes flashed with surprise, and she asked cautiously, "Is the county lady going to give it to the young master of the Qi family?"

Princess Jiacheng glanced at her lightly, "The young man next to him seems more pleasing to the eye."

Soon, the maid brought the freshly brewed tea to Zhao Han and the others, and said softly, "Master Zhao, my county mistress specially ordered me to bring you the freshly brewed Dragon and Phoenix tea. Please accept it, Master Zhao."

Hearing this, Zhao Han frowned slightly and turned his head to look, only to meet the gaze of Princess Jiacheng.

When their eyes met, Princess Jiacheng smiled at him.

Seeing this smile, Zhao Han felt a chill in his heart. He immediately restrained his expression and said calmly, "Let it go."

The maid put down the teapot, bowed gracefully, then turned and left.

Sheng Changfeng leaned his head close, his nostrils flaring, staring at the teapot eagerly.

"Brother-in-law, this is a gift from the emperor. Can you let me have a taste?"

Sheng Changbai frowned slightly and coughed lightly. He immediately shrank his neck and sat up straight.

Zhao Han couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. He personally picked up the teapot and poured tea for everyone. "Changbai, there's no need to be like this. Let's try it together."

"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Sheng Changfeng rubbed his hands excitedly.

Not far away, Rong Feiyan saw this scene.

He couldn't help but roll his eyes at Jiacheng County Master and muttered, "If someone is being nice to you for no reason, he's either a traitor or a thief."

Rong Feiyan hated the fact that Princess Jiacheng always acted like a royal lady.

She acted in a condescending manner, as if she would really become the eldest princess of the Great Zhou in the future.

Princess Jiacheng often mocked Rong Feiyan openly and secretly in the circle of noble ladies in Bianjing - she thought that just because a golden phoenix flew out of a bricklayer's house, she would really become a phoenix herself.

"Why do you care about her?" Huirou fiddled with the tea leaves floating in the teacup, not even bothering to lift her eyelids.

Rong Feiyan snorted and looked away.

It was not until dusk that the carriages of various families gradually drove away from Jinming Lake.

Rulan was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes. She leaned on Minglan's shoulder, and the pearl hairpin in her hair swayed slightly as the carriage shook.

Minglan also closed her eyes and rested.

Molan held a round fan in her hand, still maintaining her composure, and looked at Rulan who was snoring from time to time, with a complex look in her eyes.

The two brothers Changbai and Changfeng rode in the same carriage. Changbai was sitting upright, concentrating on reading a book.

Chang Feng would lift the car curtain from time to time and look out excitedly.

Inside another carriage with green curtains.

Wang Ruofu frowned, fanning herself with her round fan. She snorted coldly, "You didn't see today how many eyes were staring at my son-in-law when he was playing polo."

"The eldest lady of Minister Wang's family actually asked Hua'er in front of me if she wanted to take a concubine for her brother-in-law. It really pissed me off."

Madam Liu quickly consoled her, "Calm down, Madam. This just proves that our son-in-law is a promising young man."

"But how long has my Hua'er been married? These ignorant people think the daughter of the Sheng family is easy to bully."

"It's a good thing there's no mother-in-law in the Zhao family, otherwise the house would be packed with people!"

"This girl Hua'er doesn't support me anymore..." When Wang Ruofu said this, her throat became choked.

After a pause, he continued, "Why does she look down on my sister's concubine's daughter and insists that the girl from the eldest wife's house is suitable?"

Seeing that Wang Ruofu's eyes were red, Mother Liu hurriedly rubbed her back to help her calm down.

"It doesn't matter whose concubine's daughter it is, as long as she is honest and obedient and doesn't cross the line with our daughter, she's fine."

"Forgive me for being so nosy, but I feel it's inappropriate for my aunt to take you to lend money at high interest."

Wang Ruofu squinted at her and said, "What's wrong with that? Didn't you see the five hundred taels of silver my sister sent over yesterday?"

"My sister is right. The old lady always puts me first."

"The master only has that bitch Lin in his heart, and now he has added Wei to his heart."

"Have you ever seen a lady in any other family do what I do? She can't even get a word in from the whole family!"

"If I don't save some money, I don't know how I'm going to get through the rest of my life."

When Mother Liu heard her say this, her forehead started throbbing.

My eldest wife has always been stubborn, and my aunt is always fanning the flames.

I am afraid that I will not stop until I taste the bitterness.
