Chapter 1737 Very Strong and Manly!
At this time, a palace maid whispered: "Princess, it's been all morning, how can you do so little embroidery? You are already over the age of marriage. If you still don't learn how to be a good harem girl, how can you get married in the future?" .”
Alas, her princess is gone.
When other ladies of the world reach the age of ten, they begin to learn women's beauty, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, dancing, tea art, and housekeeping.
As for her princess, she knows a thing or two about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but doesn't know anything about female beauties, tea art, or dancing.
He is proficient in Cuju, throwing pots, archery, Chuiwan, fighting crickets, playing Ju, and fighting grass.
As for fighting grass, regardless of whether it was a literary or a martial arts fight, her princess was always a good player.
These are all men’s favorite things to do!
The weather cleared up, and other ladies met to enjoy flowers, drink tea, and chat.
Her princess was playing Cuju and bowing with a group of eunuchs and maids.
After being reminded like this by the palace maid, Ai'er still held her chin up and Wuyu said firmly: "I can't get married anyway, so what's there to learn? Who can show me if I'm so virtuous?"
Over the years, it's no wonder that people in the capital said she couldn't get married.
Every time someone of the opposite sex came into contact with her, she would either receive a warning from her three brothers or his irritable Emperor Mama.
With such a brother and Huang Ama on the stall, who would dare to approach her?
The palace maid looked at her princess who had no desires and was strong-willed, so she had to change her perspective and persuade her, "Then you will always meet someone you like, can you learn from him? Or when you have children, you can embroider some small things for them."
"I won't have anyone I like, nor will I have children. I can't escape the eyes of my three brothers and Huang Ama." Aier said very sensibly.
Palace maid: "..."
While the master and servant were talking, a eunuch came into the room and said: "Princess, I have found out clearly that the kick-ball competition held in the capital was organized by a merchant who sells polo balls. It is said that this kick-ball competition is a An entertainment project suitable for both men and women.”
"So, in this competition, both men and women can participate. It can be said to be a mixed competition between men and women."
"That's good. I don't have to dress up as a man." Ai'er's eyes lit up. "Have you found out what day the date is set for?"
Eunuch: "On May 20th, I have already signed up for you. If you want to go then, you can go or not."
"Go! Why don't you go!" Aier said firmly.
So, on May 20th, Aier wore a red trousers.
Her hair was tied high into a neat bun, and there was no jewelry at all on her head, only tied with a red rope.
In this way, when playing polo on horseback, you can avoid the inconvenience caused by skirts and complicated jewelry.
By the time Aier arrived at the polo playing place in a carriage, many people had already gathered there.
Aier showed the post and entered the polo field. She told her slave, "Go and bring our horse over."
Playing polo requires a high degree of cooperation from the horse, so naturally you need a horse that you are familiar with.
After Aier entered the racecourse, many people recognized her and saluted her.
Among them, many girls also participated in this polo match.
Because since the Qing Dynasty promoted women's education and career, women no longer just hide at home and do embroidery like before.
Even in the current imperial court, there are many female officials.
"Princess!" A clear female voice sounded on the racecourse.
Aier looked left and right, only to find a woman wearing a concubine-colored flag dress walking towards her.
The woman walking towards her was none other than Yaerdan, the daughter of He Kun, an important official of the dynasty.
He Kun entered officialdom shortly after the emperor ascended the throne.
Due to his extraordinary abilities, in just a few years, he became the chief bachelor of the cabinet, the minister of military aircraft, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, the minister of household affairs, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, the minister of Lifanyuan, the chief bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, the minister of internal bodyguards, and the commander of the infantry. Waiting for dozens of official positions.
It can be said that a man of great skill is bold, and he is not overwhelmed by the number of officials. He is a popular person in the dynasty!
Therefore, He Kun's family is also well-known in the capital.
He Kun originally had two sons and two daughters.
It's a pity that one of them died, so we only have one son and one daughter.
The son is his direct biological son. As for the daughter, she was born to Mrs. Kun Er and is considered a concubine.
But because the second wife was favored, this concubine also became famous in the capital.
"Yaldan has met the princess." Jardan approached and saluted Aier, "Princess, are you also here to participate in the shooting competition?"
"Well, I heard that this competition does not distinguish between men and women, so I came here." Aier is not very familiar with this Yaerdan, but he will be very enthusiastic every time he sees her.
Just at this time, Aier's slave brought the horse over, and she casually exchanged a few words with Yaldan, then rode the horse around the arena to familiarize herself with the arena.
About a stick of incense later, all the contestants arrived.
In fact, Juju was not very popular in the Qing Dynasty, and those who could compete here were mostly princes and nobles.
It’s not easy for ordinary people to support themselves, so they don’t have time to learn this.
Therefore, the organizers of this event screened dozens of participants and selected only more than 20 contestants.
Then draw lots and divide the twenty people into two teams, with ten people in each team and the rest as substitutes.
The team is divided into two teams: red and blue. The one Elle drew was the red team.
Soon, the twenty people changed into their team uniforms and rode on horseback in two teams.
Elle glanced at her team, and Yaerdan was in a group with her.
The rest were almost all familiar young men and young ladies.
Although she had a palace in the Forbidden City, she lived most of the time in the Old Summer Palace.
The second and fifth brothers took her for a walk in the capital.
When they grew up, they had a daughter-in-law, and she took her slaves out for a walk.
She had no younger brothers, sisters, or companions to play with. Huang Eniang and Huang Ama were afraid that she would get bored in the Old Summer Palace, so they allowed her to go to the capital to play.
The only thing is to bring guards and servants to protect her safety. Anyway, there are patrolling guards everywhere in the capital, so she is very safe.
Therefore, she knew almost all the princes and nobles in the capital.
However, there was a stranger in her team. It could be said that she had never seen him before.
The man was wearing a black brocade robe, with a majestic body, a dignified appearance, and an extraordinary personality.
Moreover, he is taller than the average man.
From a distance, he looks very strong and manly!
Ai'er couldn't help but ask the slave next to her, "Who is this person?"
The personal maid followed her gaze and said, "I don't know, why don't I go and find out."
After a while, the palace maid inquired, "Princess, I have asked all the contestants here, but no one knows who he is."
"It's strange. All the people participating in the competition today are from the capital city. It makes no sense that no one knows him. Isn't he from the capital city? Then how did he come in to compete?" Ai'er frowned slightly.
