This time he returned to Beijing, firstly to report on his duties, and secondly because he had reached the age of marriage, the emperor intended to marry the princess, so he temporarily stayed in Beijing.
But Mu Xin didn't have much affection for those well-fed, weak and well-behaved princesses, but fell in love with Jiaxing at first sight for Jiaxing, who likes to wield knives and swords.
He originally wanted to ask His Majesty for a marriage, but when he first entered Beijing, he heard about Jiaxing Princess' refusal to marry him, and he was even more envious.
Such courage, even as a man, he may not have it.
So he decided not to ask His Majesty for a marriage, but to win the favor of the princess himself.
"Princess, I wonder if I'm lucky enough to play a game of polo with you, my minister Mu Xin of Prince Mu's Mansion in Yunnan." Mu Xin took the lead in sending an invitation to Jiaxing.
Jiaxing glanced at Lu Lin, and Lu Lin smiled at her.
"Go if you want, I'll wait for you here."
Jiaxing then nodded towards Mu Xin.
The two of them immediately prepared for a one-on-one fight.
But before the start of the race, Xu Guogong Xu Jingchang came out on horseback.
"What's the point of fighting between two people, how about a competition?"
This Xu Jingchang also has a lot of background. His grandfather was Xu Da, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, and the current empress is his aunt.
So at a young age, he is the hereditary Duke of the state, and his status is not low.
On weekdays, he got quite close to Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty who was unparalleled in the limelight.
So let alone Jiaxing, even the crown prince dared to provoke him.
"Cousin, I don't play well, why don't you compare?" Seeing Xu Jingchang coming out, Jiaxing retreated immediately.
She just came here for fun, and she didn't want to embarrass the royal family.
Who are these two people, Xu and Mu, the two most powerful families in Ming Dynasty, their status is so high that they claim to live with the country.
And they are all the titles bestowed by the Taizu back then, and there are also gold medals and iron certificates for avoiding death.
All of them are big families who dominate one side, and even His Majesty can't do anything about them.
So they wanted to overwhelm the royal family everywhere, and the relationship with the royal family seemed very tense.
His Majesty is afraid of them, but he dare not suppress them, because he still needs to rely heavily on them to guard the frontier.
Jiaxing didn't want to be exposed to this bad luck.
"Don't, Jiaxing, if you don't fight, wouldn't it be boring?" Xu Jingchang didn't give Jiaxing a chance to refuse at all: "Right, young prince Mu?"
The four major families did not get along happily with each other.
The Mu Palace looked down on the Xu family, thinking they were just dandies who were sitting on the mountain.
The Xu family looked down on Prince Mu's Mansion, thinking that they were far away in Yunnan, a barbaric land, and could only wield knives and guns.
"Princess, don't be afraid, there is me." Mu Xin was not afraid of him, so he just took advantage of today's polo club to teach him a lesson, so that he would know how powerful the Mu Palace is.
When two tigers fight, there must be one injury.
Jiaxing is caught in the middle, which can be described as a dilemma.
Two families, two came, plus a royal daughter.
This game looks good.
The spectators all looked sideways, unable to restrain themselves, wanting to see what wonderful scene will happen next.
Chapter 39
Xu Jingchang deliberately made things difficult for Mu Xin, trying to make him look ugly in public.
It happened that Jiaxing was involved, and Jiaxing was unlucky enough.
This time the royal family's face is probably going to be completely lost by her, and I don't know how to explain to the emperor's grandfather and father when I go back.
Jiaxing was driven to the rack and had to pick up the club.
With the sound of a drum, the polo match begins.
Jiaxing is in a group with Mu Xin, Xu Jingchang is in a group with Zhang Xiner
Zhang Xin'er is Zhang Guogong's only daughter, she is unrestrained and unrestrained, and she is a master at playing polo. Men and women in the capital are almost invincible.
Mu Xin took the lead in grabbing the polo and sent it to Jiaxing. Jiaxing swung the polo and was about to hit it.
But Zhang Xin'er poked straight, and the polo immediately flew out from her horse.
Xu Jingchang rushed over and sent another pole flying forward. Zhang Xiner galloped on horseback, and the pole passed over Jiaxing's head. With a bang, the polo flew out and scored a hole.
"Boom"
The gong sounded, and the opponent scored the first goal.
"it is good."
"pretty."
The spectators were overwhelmed by Zhang Xiner's operation and applauded.
Xu Jingchang and Zhang Xin'er reined in their horses and looked at them with a smile.
Mu Xin approached on horseback and comforted her.
"It's okay, this is just the beginning."
Jiaxing could only nod his head and keep fighting.
But Zhang Xin'er and Xu Jingchang are both polo masters, almost invincible in Jingzhong, while Mu Xin and Jiaxing have never played polo a few times at all, so they are not their opponents at all.
They cooperated seamlessly again. After a few rounds, they didn't even score a single goal.
It was an ugly loss.
Apart from marveling at Xu Jingchang and Zhang Xiner's beautiful polo, the spectators secretly made fun of Mu Xin and Jiaxing in private.
Dare to challenge Xu Guogong and Zhang Xin'er, isn't this asking for trouble?
Look, I'm ashamed and thrown home.
