Chapter 159 Seven Princesses

News came from Prince Geng's mansion that Zhao Zhun would go to Shangyang Palace to play polo at [-] o'clock tomorrow, and invited the princes and princes to form a team of five to compete with ten princesses and princesses.Bet about ten fat sheep and ten top-quality famille rose gauze and silk.If the Tang family wants to talk about something, they can ask Tang Kuan and Su Yu to take fat sheep yarn and fine wine to Shangyang Palace during the noon break.

Tang Kuan and Su Yu said: Zhao Zhun had a good idea in the fight, and the bet he made was for us to pay for it, taking advantage of it.But if we ask him to do something, he must agree. I have prepared fat sheep, silk, silk and fine wine, and I will start by car tomorrow.

Less gossip.

The next day, Su Yu followed Tang Kuan to Shangyang Palace, wearing a blue-colored silk embroidered beast gown.On the way, I heard Tong Yu, a young eunuch, say that the former Shangyang Palace was destroyed by war, and it burned for three days and three nights. Today, Shangyang Palace is only rebuilt on the foundation of Tang Dynasty Shangyang Palace.Although it was rebuilt, it is still majestic and majestic. It is adjacent to Luoshui in the south and the Forbidden Palace in the north. It is the place where the royal children play.

Shangyang Palace has its own chef, so it is easy to slaughter sheep and cook.An old eunuch sent word to invite the fourth son of the Tang family and the county horse master to watch the match.Tang Kuan asked, are there any other audiences?The eunuch said yes.So Tang Kuan and Su Yu didn't delay, and came to the edge of the arena.

The fierce battle is in full swing on the field, with five princes and ten princesses duel, wearing breastplates, helmets, and complete protective equipment.The two sides fought bravely to be the first, pressed the horses and swung the clubs, and the game was evenly divided.Then Zhao Zhun looked like a familiar hand, chasing the wind under his crotch, galloping like a dragon.The other princes are slightly inferior, but they are not beginners. The five of them cooperate closely, and there are few people but they are not at a disadvantage.

On the other hand, the women's team has both seasoned players and novices, but they are unfamiliar with each other.Although there are many people, they do not have an advantage.Especially a red and rouge horse, a petite woman, the most jerky and timid.She ran with everyone for a long time, but didn't hit a single shot.As long as there are people around ten feet, she can't grab the ball.After playing for a long time, she finally had a chance to touch the ball alone. She hit it with all her strength, but she missed it and almost fell off her horse.

To say that the big red rouge horse really understands human nature, the moment before the woman fell, she suddenly became short and saved herself from danger.

Seeing this, Su Yu couldn't help admiring: "What a horse!"

Just this good word attracted the attention of the woman immediately.At this time, she was feeling ashamed because of hitting the air, and she turned her head to look at Su Yu, and she was even more shy because she was still a stranger.In a blink of an eye, the woman looked at Su Yu for the second time, only to find that this man was wearing a robe from Erpin County Ma Li, with blue eyes and bright eyes, and a face like a crown of jade. She couldn't help but stare in a daze.

"Seventh Sister! Hit the ball!" A princess shouted from afar.

The woman called "Seventh Sister" immediately looked away and hit the ball with a low body.Hit that fist-sized polo into the distance.He played without any rules, and with one shot, he hit the ball to a place that no one could think of.Everyone was stunned, and the horses turned sharply, swarming after them.

A group of people fought for three quarters of an hour, changing horses and changing clothes.Worried about being exposed to the wind of armor removal, the servants of each family prepared a stove and waited in the hut.After changing into dry clothes, sit down and drink tea for a while.At this time, there was a chance to go up and talk, but Zhao Zhun didn't call, and Tang Kuan and Su Yu couldn't rush to go.

It was rumored that Prince Geng Zhao Zhun was the most delicate person, and he caught the master who made the toad urinate.How could the fat toad be let go when the family begged him to do something.It is said that the Tang Corporation is in debt, but the Tang Corporation has a profound background. Now that the war is over, no one will believe that his family has no food left.Zhao Zhun put on airs, rested for a while and continued to play.At this time, the princess who was called "Seventh Sister" no longer appeared on the stage, but walked slowly towards Su Yu with a young eunuch.

She changed into a pink outfit, smiled, and introduced herself, "Zhao Qun, the seventh daughter of Prince Sheng's Mansion."

The little eunuch quickly added: "In the second year of God's gift, Empress Wu Lie appointed Princess Wensheng."

Seeing that she was here to talk to Su Yu, Tang Kuan thoughtfully moved to the side, put his hands on the guardrail, and looked like he was concentrating on watching the game.

The little eunuch next to the princess said a word, and then retreated more than ten feet.

Tong Yu also retreated to Tang Kuan's side.

Su Yu said politely: "The son-in-law of the Princess Chang'an's mansion, Su Yu, Su Jinfeng."

Zhao Qun smiled and said, "It turned out to be the husband of Tang's elder sister. I heard that the county horse master is a good-looking talent. I saw him today, and his reputation is well-deserved."

Then the two started chatting with each other.

Through chatting, I learned that there were more than 300 princesses registered in the Liang Dynasty, and not all princesses were close to the royal family, and some princesses had never even entered the palace in their entire lives.Many marginal princesses are not living as well as they imagined.Zhao Qun's father had long passed away, and his family had no business to do, and the family lived entirely on the salary from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.The monthly salary of the royal family in the Liang Dynasty was not high, so how could it be used for such a great cause.Zhao Qun racked her brains to deal with these powerful princes and princesses, just to do some things and earn some money to spend.

Su Yu was amazed that a girl who was only 17 years old could have such a scheming heart.

"Dare to ask the county horse master why he is here?"

"I want to buy a piece of land from Prince Geng."

"The Tang family wants to buy Prince Geng's land? I don't know which one to buy?"

Su Yu didn't want to say it at first, but Zhao Qun had an expectant expression on her face, and Yuanyuan's face was full of joy, so she couldn't bear to say: "The bamboo forest in the south of Luqiao Station in Yonggu City."

"Bamboo forest?" Zhao Qun smiled with a shrewd look on her face, "Prince Geng asked you to come today?"

Su Yu nodded: "Bring some fat sheep yarn."

Zhao Qun shook her head: "Although I asked you to bring something, based on what I know about Second Brother, he still won't agree to sell it to you."

Su Yu frowned: "Why?"

Zhao Qun didn't answer the question, but asked instead: "Can Lord Ma Jun tell me what is the matter of buying that piece of land?"

Su Yu smiled and said, "Tell me first, why can't you sell it?"

The smile on Zhao Qun's face faded: "You have to know that the bamboo forest is the place where the royal family hunts in winter, so it's impossible to sell it casually."

Su Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I've inquired about it before, and I've heard that it's the place where the royal family hunts in winter, but the emperor has many places to hunt in winter, not just the bamboo forest. And I also heard that the royal family doesn't like winter hunting in bamboo forests. I haven’t been there for almost 20 years. It is said that Prince Geng is still selling bamboo there.”

Zhao Qun looked a little unhappy, and pouted, "You answer me first, why did you buy that piece of land?"

After all, it was a princess who had been pampered since she was a child. Seeing that Su Yu didn't answer her question directly, she made no effort to hide her displeasure on her little face.However, she seemed to be aware of this, and in order to resolve the embarrassment, she quickly said: "If you don't tell me, I won't help you. On the contrary, if it is profitable, we can still cooperate. Second brother won't sell that piece of land For you, I can ask my mother for help."

Su Yu was puzzled: "Can the concubine decide this matter?"

Zhao Qun's mother is Princess Sheng. Now that King Sheng is not alive, she is called Princess Sheng.In fact, this name is inaccurate. Specifically, it should be called "Wang Taifei", and the word "Toffee" belongs to Huang Taifei.But in the royal family, everyone is used to calling it this way, which is considered a respectful title.The Ministry of Internal Affairs doesn't care.

Zhao Qun raised her face and said, "I am the same grandfather as Prince Geng, and we are cousin brothers and sisters. At the same time, mother and Concubine Rong are sisters."

"Oh, so that's the case." Su Yu smiled: "Well, let's talk to Prince Geng first, and if the talk fails, I'll ask you for help."

"That won't work." Zhao Qun said with an unhappy face: "If we want to talk, we can talk now. You tell me first, what are you going to do? Are you sure to make money? You can't lie to me, I know you Tang, Meng, Ximen Three families, you never do business that doesn’t make money. But if you don’t tell me and bring me to make money together, I won’t let my brother sell the land to you.”

Su Yu was surprised: How can a dignified princess, a pretty little girl, give off the impression of a bandit?
