    "Ayu wants to see me play?" This was unexpected by Shang Junlin. He took Shen Yu out of the palace, but just wanted to take him out to relax. Polo is a very popular sport in Dahuan. There will be a polo competition outside the palace, maybe Shen Yu will like it.

    "It's okay to go to see it with Your Majesty." When the words reached his lips, Shen Yu changed his mind.

    It was he who thought wrong at the beginning. Shang Junlin was the emperor. He joined the army when he was young. Unlike other princes, when others were eating, drinking, and having fun, he killed the enemy on the battlefield and fought for his own survival. For the entertainment nature of polo Too many sports may not be covered much.

    "If Ayu wants to see it, I can play."

    Shen Yu held Shang Junlin's hand and shook his head: "I thought about it, but I still think it's better to watch it with Your Majesty. If His Majesty is on the court, wouldn't I be the only one watching from the sidelines, I want more than one person? Your Majesty, accompany me."

    "It's all from Ayu."

    After April, the weather became brighter day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day Shang Junlin planned to leave the palace. This time, the two of them were still traveling in a low-key manner, and there were not many people with them.

    Eunuch Meng packed up everything, put on a suit, and went out of the palace with them.

    The carriage drove all the way, getting further and further away from the palace.

    Shen Yu opened the curtain and looked outside.

    Spring is shining brightly, and the breeze is blowing, bringing a burst of coolness.

    Seeing that the carriage was about to drive out of the city gate, Shen Yu lowered the curtain, sat back, and asked, "Your Majesty will take me outside the city?"

    "Go to Cangqi Mountain. Last year, due to an accident, Ayu couldn't take a good stroll. This year, I will make it up for Ayu."

    The carriage walked for another half an hour and stopped.

    Eunuch Meng said outside the carriage, "Your Majesty, it's already here."

    Shen Yu got off the carriage behind Shang Junlin, and the palace servants arranged their hands and feet swiftly.

    The scenery of Cangqi Mountain is very beautiful. If you look around, you can see a green area, all kinds of flowers are blooming, and occasionally colorful butterflies come and stop on the petals.

    The beautiful scenery always makes people feel good. Shen Yu is not a temperament that likes to run around, and he can stay in the palace for a long time, but if he can occasionally come out to see the beautiful scenery outside the palace, he is also very happy.

    "Your Majesty, come with me."

    The palace staff left the arrangement, and Shen Yu and Shang Junlin walked along the path. There were not many people in the place that Shang Junlin chose. After walking for a while, the number of people gradually became more and more.

    Cangqi Mountain is very popular, and every spring, many people come to visit.

    The students gathered by the stream, the water flowing, reciting poetry and making music, so happy.

    Approaching, Shen Yu could hear what they said, some praised the good spring, some talked about the current situation, and some talked about various topics.

    When the students saw Shen Yu and Shang Junlin, they warmly invited them.

    "Would you two young masters come over for a drink?"

    "Young Master Yu?" Before the two of Shen Yu could speak, a young student sitting by the stream ran over, "It's really Young Master Yu, when we parted, my companion and I wanted to invite the two of them to talk, but we never found anyone. , but now I have encountered..."

    Shen Yu looked at the enthusiastic young students, and vaguely remembered that when he was out of the palace with Shang Junlin, he met several teenagers who were rushing for the exam, and this student was one of them.

    Feeling the low pressure of the people around him, Shen Yu declined the invitation. The young student felt regretful, but he couldn't force it.

    Shen Yu took Shang Junlin and continued to walk forward, saying as he walked, "Your Majesty was angry just now?"

    "I didn't."

    Shen Yu stopped, and Shang Junlin followed.

    Shen Yu turned to look at Shang Junlin, the man's face was calm, it really didn't look like he was angry, but...

    Shen Yu didn't forget that when the student came to speak just now, the man's arm on his waist suddenly increased in strength.

    "Since Your Majesty doesn't have it, let's go back and gather with them. It's a fate to meet..." After speaking, Shen Yu turned around and walked back.

    The wrist is pulled.

    Shen Yu raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty?"

    "I don't allow it," Shang Junlin pursed his lips, "What Ayu wants to do, I will accompany Ayu to do it."

    Shen Yu just teased him, and didn't really plan to go back. Hearing the words, he took back his steps: "Is that so, anything is fine?"

    "Anything is fine."

    Shen Yu nodded, held Shang Junlin's hand, and continued to walk forward.

    When came back last time, because was induced to get sick, Shen Yu was not able to take a good look around this place.

    "Is that where the polo match is held over there?" Shen Yu pointed to one place.

    The terrain there is flat, the horses walk around leisurely, and the people standing beside them wear clothes of two different colors and chat in a low voice from time to time.

    "Yes, the game starts tomorrow morning." Shang Junlin replied.

    "We're going to stay here for the night? What will your Majesty do tomorrow morning?"

    "Tomorrow is a rest day, so you don't have to go to court."

    Now that Shang Junlin has dealt with these problems, Shen Yu no longer has to worry about it. After walking for a long time, Shen Yu is a little tired, and there is still a distance to go back. Shen Yu glanced at the sky and pulled Shang Junlin's sleeve.

    The man stopped: "What's wrong?"

    "I'm so tired, Your Majesty."

    "I will take you back?"

    Shang Junlin stretched out his hand, and Shen Yu hurriedly stretched out his hand to block: "Isn't Your Majesty tired from such a long journey?"

    "Why is it tiring to hold Ayu?" Shang Junlin said calmly.

    Shen Yu observed it and found that after walking for so long, Shang Junlin's expression was exactly the same as before, and his breath had not changed. Unlike him, his breath had long been unstable.

    "Ayu is worried that I will be tired?" Shang Junlin said with a smile, "Even if I walk with Ayu for a day, I will not be tired."

    Shen Yu subconsciously wanted to refute, thinking of someone's perverted physical strength, and silently shut his mouth.

    Shang Junlin couldn't help but pick up Shen Yu by the waist, weighed it, and said playfully: "Ayu should eat more, it's like holding Shen Yu weightless in his arms."

    Shang Junlin hugged the person and walked very steadily, and the time to go back was much shorter than before.

    Shen Yu was nestled in the man's arms, talking to him one after another, and when it came to the back, his voice became lower and lower, and he almost fell asleep.

    Seeing that Shang Junlin came back with Shen Yu in his arms, Eunuch Meng thought that something had happened, so he hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he..."

    Shen Yu was quietly disturbed, and opened his eyes in a daze: "Your Majesty, are you here yet?"

    "arrive."

    "Put me down." Shen Yu struggled to think about it.

    "do not move."

    Shang Junlin's arm was very stable, and Shen Yu fluttered for a long time without fluttering himself out, so he had to give up.

    The palace servants had already prepared dinner, and Shen Yu washed his face with clean water, feeling a lot more awake.

    Sitting next to Shang Junlin, Shen Yu rubbed his arm for the man: "Is your majesty's arm sore?"

    The young man's eyebrows and eyes were lowered, his expression was serious, and under the sunset, he seemed to have a layer of gold borders on his body. When the words came to his mouth, Shang Junlin paused.

    "A little."

    "Your Majesty must be brave." Shen Yu complained, but the movements of his hands did not stop.

    Shang Junlin looked at him for a while, and the ink in his eyes became thicker and darker.

    "Your Majesty, what are you doing... um..."

    The lips were kissed fiercely, the rest of the words were blocked back, the jaw was forced to lift, the lips and teeth were pried open, and they were forced to withstand the storm.

    The next morning, Shen Yu got up early, packed up, and went to the polo match with Shang Junlin.

    There were many people watching the polo match. When Shen Yu and Shang Junlin arrived, they were already surrounded by people.

    Eunuch Meng said hello in advance, and when he saw the two, one of the people in charge stepped forward: "The two nobles, please come here."

    They were arranged to a place with an excellent view. There were small tables with various snacks and teas on them, which were specially prepared for people with special status.

    They came at the right time, and it didn't take long before the game officially started.

    There were ordinary people and the children of officials and officials, and so were the people watching.

    The atmosphere in the arena was very warm, Shen Yu thought that he would not have much interest, but when he actually watched it, he couldn't help but devote himself to watching the game.

    "Those who can participate in this competition are all selected through layers." Shang Junlin explained to Shen Yu on the side.

    "I never knew it would feel like watching someone else play polo." As if the blood in the whole body boiled along with it, Shen Yu is not surprised at all now, why polo is so popular in Dahuan.

    "Compared to before, it's considered a decline now." The person sitting beside him was caught off guard.

    "How?" Shen Yu was curious.

    "This son should be the first to come back to watch the game. I don't know it's normal. Twenty or thirty years ago, polo matches were usually hosted by the royal family. Compared with now, it was only then that people yearned for it.”

    The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties, slightly fat. As he spoke, he took something from his neck, touched it cherishly, and handed it to Shen Yu: "This is what the royal family rewarded back then."

    At that time, a pendant made of gold was engraved with the demeanor of a man riding a horse and swinging a ball, which was lifelike.

    "Is this what Mr. won?"

    "I can't afford to be a gentleman," the man put away the pendant, "My surname wins, this was won by my brother back then. Later, my brother passed away. Before he died, he gave it to me, hoping that one day I can bring this competition back. to the way it used to be.”

    The man didn't stay for long, and was called away by the servants in the middle. He looked at the arena dejectedly, and pondered.

    "Does Your Majesty know what's going on?" Shen Yu had never understood this before, so he didn't know what happened in the middle.

    "Know a little, the late emperor... When there was no major change in temperament, the capital held a large polo match every year. The last time, I don't know who angered him. Under the atmosphere, the late emperor dealt with many people. Since that year From then on, the game was canceled, and later the emperor's actions became more and more absurd, and there was no follow-up to this matter."

    Shang Junlin didn't know much about these things. He was very young when the incident happened, and no one mentioned it later, so this matter naturally came to an end.

    After watching the game, Shen Yu faintly had an idea in his heart. Before implementing it, he must first figure out what happened before.

    "Are the polo matches before Da Huan held by the royal family?" Shen Yu asked on the way back to the palace.

    "There has always been this tradition, until the case of the late emperor."

    Shen Yu leaned against the wall of the car, rubbed his forehead thinking of the scene of watching a polo match.

    "What does Ayu want to do?"

    "Your Majesty, you said, how about we return the polo game to its previous state?"

    "Ayu wants to have the royal family take over the game again?"

    "Um."

    "If Ayu thinks about it, I will naturally not object." It's just a matter that is not a big deal, and Shen Yu can do whatever he wants.
